for @corrodedcoffinfest popup event ‘where the wild things are’

rated t | 954 words | cw: brief mention of euthanizing an animal but it doesn’t happen | tags: established steddie, famous corroded coffin, crack treated seriously, Steve is in charge of them but you can decide how

There’s an “alpaca farm” near my home, which is definitely harboring illegal exotic animals and inspired this simply because I remember the day my mom came home and told me they got a zebra 😂

🦓🦓🦓🦓🦓🦓🦓🦓🦓🦓

Steve does a double take as he walks up the steps of the porch. He thought he saw…

Oh. Yep. He did see that.

He walks inside and goes to directly to the kitchen, where everyone is sitting at the table acting entirely too normal.

“Did you guys know there’s a zebra outside?” He asks, setting his keys on the counter. He looks through the window to make sure there’s no other zoo animals in the backyard. “And if so, who owns it?”

“That’s Stripes!” Gareth says, before returning back to his conversation with Jeff.

“And Stripes belongs to…”

“Us.” Eddie stands and leans over the counter to kiss Steve on the lips. “Can we have pizza tonight?”

Steve is used to crazy. He’s used to weird shit happening. He’s used to having to clean up messes these guys get themselves into on a near-daily basis.

But there’s a zebra in their front yard and no one is explaining how or why. He might lose it.

“No one’s getting anything to eat until you explain the zebra.”

Everyone goes silent. Steve raises his brows as he throws his jacket over the back of the closest chair, which happens to be Frankie’s.

“They were gonna euthanize him,” Gareth says.

Steve takes a deep breath.

“Who?”

“The circus. Apparently he’s too old to do any tricks and they can’t afford to just have animals around. This was their last stop for this leg of their tour and they had him caged up for the vet. We rescued him,” Eddie explains. “We’ll take good care of him.”

“How do you even take care of a zebra?” Steve asks and then holds up his hands before anyone can answer. “Let me try again. How do you plan to take care of a zebra? We leave for a tour in three weeks.”

“He can come with us!” Gareth is smiling and Steve thinks it must be nice to think the way Gareth does. He’s not dumb, he’s just impulsive and easygoing. He doesn’t think of problems ahead of time.

“You guys can’t bring a zebra on your heavy metal festival tour.” Steve sighs. “Why don’t we call the zoo in Indy and see if they’ll take a rescue?”

“No!” They all say. Even Frankie turns and shakes his head.

“Why not? He’d be safe there, they know how to take care of him. He’d have zebra friends.”

“But he likes to travel,” Eddie pouts.

“Jeff, you can’t actually believe this is a good idea. You have sense,” Steve turns away from the pout Eddie always tries when he wants to get his way. “C’mon man.”

Jeff looks sheepishly down at the table.

“No! You guys bribed Jeff?” Steve groans and walks away, out the front door, and down the porch.

Half of the front yard is fenced in, and it looks like Stripes is happy as can be eating the grass and hay that the guys must’ve put out for him. He walks to the fence and sighs. Stripes looks up and meanders over to him, still chewing on a mouthful of his food.

Steve reaches out and pets at his head. He’s used to horses, grew up around them for a while when his dad owned a stake in a derby horse. He loved them, but they still scared him a bit. They’re beautiful, and stoic, and incredibly strong.

He’s seen a grown man’s teeth get kicked right out of his body from one.

Stripes nudges his hand when he stops, lost in his thoughts. He laughs and keeps moving it back and forth.

“He’s a big softie,” Jeff says behind him.

“They sent you to convince me, huh?” Steve turns and sees the others huddling at the window inside. He shakes his head fondly. They’re all idiots. “No need. Stripes convinced me.”

Jeff throws a thumbs up at the window and they can hear them all cheer and walk away.

“You sure it’s okay? I can talk to them if not.”

Steve doesn’t answer at first.

Logistically, it’s gonna be a nightmare. He just had a meeting this morning with security and transportation about moving all their shit and them safely. There’s only ten stops, but they’re spread out enough that they need a solid plan in place so there’s no errors or risks. A zebra would be a risk.

Financially, it’s also not ideal. Adding in another truck to bring him around, his food, someone to care for him while they’re busy. It all adds up. They have a decent budget now that they’ve got more support from a big label, but they won’t be thrilled with paying for a zebra to tour with them.

“We’ll figure it out,” he settles on.

Stripes finally has enough and walks away. Steve brushes his hand against his pants and sighs.

“I’m gonna go shower. You guys have a meeting with security tomorrow morning. Pizza and then everyone heads home.”

“Yes, mom,” Jeff jokes, but nudges his arm with his elbow. “Is Eddie in trouble?”

“Eddie’s not in trouble,” Steve says. “But he ls gonna get a serious talking to.”

Jeff raises a brow. “I’m sure he is.”

Steve slaps his arm and rolls his eyes. “Go order pizza. And call a vet to ask what zebras need for food every day. We’ll have to leave with enough to get through the tour.”

“Aye aye!”

Jeff rushes inside and Steve watches Stripes walk along the fence. He looks content, but he’s gonna move him to the backyard so he has more room to run around. Or he’ll make Eddie do it.

Actually, yeah.

“Eddie!” Steve yells as he walks back in the house. “Come take care of your zebra!”

Livestock AU

Where Cod characters are hybrids living on a farm -------------------

Price and Alejandro were raised together, as guardian livestock animals they were raised together. Alejandro is a Llama hybrid and is trained to attack dog-like creatures he guards over the sheep. When Gaz the young border collie Hybrid was introduced he had to work with a very aggressive Llama that didn’t like his dog shape.

Ghost is a Kangal, like Price but much bigger. Ghost comes from a puppy mill and has to fight to get food. Very quiet dog unless intimidating the coyotes and wolves. Ghost learns quickly and tends to be the most independent but always comes back to check in with his fellow livestock dogs.

Soap is a Great Pyrenees who generally do anything required of him, mostly looking after the ducks, ducks, and goose. Very playful and young still learning the ropes but very good at his job does sleep during the day since he needs to be active at night. If he sees an unattended egg left over night will eat it.

Lastly is Gaz a border collie and very good at his job if he finds anyone miss behaving (most Soap sometimes Roach) he will bite them near the next to correct that behavior.

Laswell and Roach are both Barn cat hybrids. Laswell usually does all the recon missions and gets the boys to then check things out if she finds something suspicious. Roach is a rescue dumpster cat who survives being poisoned a few times. Very rambunctious and follows the guardian dogs around. Ghost is very fond of the silent cat, you will find Roach sneaking bites of Ghost dog food.

Lastly only recently added is an Alpaca. Rudy is situated with the Goats and as their alarm system acts like a less aggressive Alejandro. Alejandro and Rudy do see each other as packmates as well as their individual herd.

Nik is an old police dog who retired as a family dog, and will help out once in awhile when the urge to work hits him.

The livestock guardians’ main rival is a pack of wolves led by Graves. His shadow is a large pack of wolves that tries the farm every once in a while.

Another group is a group of Coyotes led by Valeria. She has gotten a few Birds from Soap which really upsets him.

The farm is currently being invaded by rats Led by Makarov and Laswell is trying her damnest to hunt him down, he and his Konni group are aggravating the farmer.

The farmer decided to get a few more barn cats.

Reader is a small kitten from another farm with too many cats they and their two friends, Farah a brownish cat hybrid, and Alex a big sandy color cat are added. Turns out Alex is the son of Laswell one of her litters.

Reader is treated like an eyesore by the older guardians until they are old enough to train, learn, and join the workforce. Reader mostly wonders around seeing each group and how they work, and finding their spot to rest in. Makarov once scared them and got scolded by Price. -------

It stupid idea idk was inspired a little by @tacticalanklebiter3000 and @frogchiro and the Hybrid side of Cod community

Synopsis: initially hesitant about adopting a cat, Shoto finds his reservations gradually melting away as he discovers the endearing charm and companionship the furry creature brings

A/N: this story was commissioned on my Kofi page by my lovely @indignant-alpaca - I'm sharing it with her kind permission 🌸 If you like my writing, please consider supporting me via my Kofi page

MY HERO ACADEMIA - 3 COMMISSIONS

In a quaint apartment on the outskirts of the city, Shoto Todoroki found himself faced with an unexpected addition to his life — one that would soon melt the icy barriers around his heart.

His girlfriend, Y/N, beamed as you carried a fluffy ball of fur into your living room. "Shoto, meet Mochi," you announced, presenting the tiny calico kitten nestled in your arms.

Shoto eyed the feline with a stoic expression, his dual-colored eyes reflecting a mix of curiosity and reluctance. "A cat?" he questioned, his tone revealing a hint of skepticism.

You nodded enthusiastically. "Yes! I thought it would be great to have a pet. They say cats bring good luck."

Shoto arched an eyebrow, his signature stoicism intact. "Luck, huh?" he mused, as Mochi stretched out her tiny paws, giving a small mew. "I don't need luck."

Undeterred, you gently placed Mochi on the floor, who immediately began exploring her new surroundings.

Shoto observed from a distance, maintaining his cool composure. "She's small," he remarked.

You giggled, "Well, she's a kitten. But just wait until you see her charm."

As if on cue, Mochi approached Shoto, her curious eyes fixated on him.

"I'm not a cat person," Shoto declared, attempting to assert his indifference.

You nudged him playfully. "Give it time, Shoto. Cats have a way of growing on you."

Over the next few days, Shoto found himself begrudgingly amused by Mochi's antics. The mischievous kitten would bat at his shoelaces, pounce on invisible prey, and curl up on his lap during quiet moments.

You couldn't help but notice the subtle softening of Shoto's expression as he interacted with your newfound furry companion.

Another evening, as Shoto sat reading a book, Mochi nestled beside him, purring contentedly.

You seized the opportunity. "Looks like someone's warming up to you," you teased.

Shoto sighed, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "Maybe she's not as annoying as I thought."

As days turned into weeks, the bond between Shoto and Mochi deepened in ways neither of them expected.

Mochi, once a mere distraction, became a constant presence in Shoto's life.

Mochi's preference for Shoto became evident. She would follow him around the apartment, ignore your attempts at play, and eagerly await his return whenever he stepped out.

One evening, after a long day of hero duties, Shoto found himself slumping onto the couch, exhaustion evident in his eyes.

Mochi, sensing his weariness, padded over and gracefully leaped onto his lap. She nuzzled against his chest, her purrs resonating through the room.

Shoto, surprised by the comforting gesture, couldn't help but stroke her soft fur absentmindedly.

But Mochi had other plans. As Shoto attempted to get up, Mochi protested with a small meow and refused to budge. It was as if she sensed when he needed a moment of respite, providing a gentle reminder to slow down.

In the mornings, Shoto found Mochi perched on the windowsill, her eyes fixed on the world outside. He joined her, silently appreciating the quiet moments shared with his feline friend.

You often caught them in these contemplative instances, a smile playing on your lips as you witnessed the unspoken connection forming.

One weekend, as Shoto worked on his training routine in the living room, Mochi decided to participate. She playfully swatted at his shoelaces, darting around him in a display of agility that mirrored his own. A small smirk tugged at Shoto's lips, and he found himself engaging in a playful dance with the energetic kitten.

You, capturing the adorable scene on your phone, couldn't resist sharing it later. "Looks like Mochi is teaching you a thing or two."

Shoto raised an eyebrow but didn't deny the truth in your words. Mochi had indeed become an unexpected mentor, reminding him of the simple joys in life and offering companionship in moments of solitude.

As their connection grew, Shoto started incorporating Mochi into his daily routine. Whether it was a quiet moment of reflection, a shared glance during meals, or an impromptu play session, Mochi became a source of comfort and joy for Shoto.

One evening, Yuki found them curled up together on the couch, Shoto absentmindedly stroking Mochi's fur while she purred contentedly.

"I guess you're officially a cat person now," you teased.

Shoto merely glanced at you, a small smile gracing his face. He couldn't deny the warmth that blossomed within him.

Their cozy little family, consisting of an icy-hot hero, his girlfriend, and an adorable cat named Mochi, found harmony in the unexpected bonds that formed. And as the trio shared quiet moments together, laughter and love echoed through the apartment, proving that even the coldest hearts could be thawed by the warmth of feline companionship.

In the depths of Anura, sat a relatively small lamb, book in her hand as she leaned her back against a tree. Her godhood rested upon her head, occasionally peeking over to look at what she was reading, but staying silent.

On occasion, the common enemy toad or cultists would charge at her, but she'd never take her eyes off of the book, lobbing a mass of honey at them, which would proceed to disintegrate them in a matter of seconds.

Bee was immersed in the book, an innocent look on her face as she kept reading.

-@the-honeybearer

You don't know for sure how the little alpaca found herself in the Anura. She wanders among the trees trying to find a way out, but her attention is attracted by something, or rather someone leaning on a tree. Lamb. Denny's eyes widen, she has never seen any lambs other than her Leader before. She hesitates to approach, so she watches cautiously, but not without curiosity, peeking out from behind a tree.

[fictionalred]

Some vibes of the bachelor party I organised for last weekend :))

First walking with alpaca's! (They were so fluffy and SOFT!) Then in the afternoon a painting workshop with booze included. In the evening a cocktail workshop and some great Silent Disco fun! Stay in a hotel. Then brunch on a boat next morning. VR escape room and axe throwing in the afternoon.

All went fairly smoothly so I'm happy with it :)

It was late at night when I found John standing at the balcony with his head resting on his hand. He was staring out at the beautiful night sky. We were finally safe on Sanctum. 

“Do you plan on jumping off?” I asked. He jumped slightly and turned to face me. 

“I wasn’t planning on it.” He answered with a small smirk. I walked over to him and lent against the railing besided him. The two of us were silent as we watched the night sky, it was peaceful. 

“Johnny! Look!” I said as I pointed up at the star that was leaving a small trail behind it. I closed my eyes and silently wished that John would someday return my feelings. I opened them and looked at John, who was already looking at me with a smile. 

“What’d you wish for?” He asked and I rolled my eyes at him. 

“You know if I tell you, it won’t come true.” I said and he chuckled. He looked back up at the sky. He looked lost in thought again. I watched him silently and slightly worried for him. He glanced back and me and silently studied my face. I tilted my head to the side in curiosity. 

“You’re so beautiful, you know that?” He asked and I looked at him with slightly wide eyes. His hand brushed my cheek and I blushed. I reached up and placed my hand on his neck. I brushed his bare chest slightly, watching my fingers. 

“You’re so handsom.” I muttered, not confident enough to say it any louder. John pulled my head up to face him and he slowly lent down. His lips met mine and wrapped his fingers into my hair. 

“I love you.” He whispered as he pulled back. I stared at him in shock but bit my lip to hide the smile. 

“Really?” I asked and he chuckled. 

“Yes really, Y/N.” He said and I blushed deeper. 

“I-I love you too…” I whispered. John pulled me in for another kiss and I smiled. 

“Guess wishes do come true.” I giggled. He looked at me confused and I looked back up at the sky. 

“I wished that you’d return how I felt about you… didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.” I said and he chuckled. He wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder. 

“I’ve always loved you, Y/N.” He whispered and I blushed. We continued to watch the night sky in silence and I relished in the feeling of having John hold me so close.

Love Live S2E13 Assorted Thoughts

OMG she's a momma's girl????? What a twist!!!!!!

W… We're getting a taste of what an older, mature Nico looks like, huh…?

LMFAO, look at how bratty Maki looks, this is good. She's loving this, good for her! LMFAO.

Well, now we know why she loves attention so much, huh? She's that type of needy kid!

Bruh she just wanted to show her mom the prize they won, it's wholesome! Come on! Her mom didn't get to see the concert btw, dammit!

Her mom probably praises her a lot for anything she does, it's good!

AGGHHHHHHH LOOK AT THEM POSING!! This is so cute……

AUGH, Nico and her mom….

Okay, NGL Nico being a needy momma's girl is the cutest shit I've ever seen and my new favorite thing.

WTF I love Nozomi now.

HonoEli always get awesome hugs!

UGH I LOVE THIS SO MUCH WTF. ABSOLUTE BEST. HONOKA!!!!!!!

AUIGHHH. She's the best friend ever.

Muh…

And look, she is indeed the only one not crying despite being moved. Only Nozomi can wring the tears out of her, huh? When she does cry she IS quite loud though. Nozomi and Maki are the silent criers. Maybe Eli too?

YES! I KNEW IT! I WANTED THIS! OF COURSE IT'S HANAYO!

I love her!!!!!!!!!!

NicoPana SAIKO!

"You can do it. You have all these… friends who can help you out!" NICO!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!

また遊びに来るから……………………… (crying).

Hanayo, hug her please and I will never ask for anything ever again…

Damn, rare HonoRin moment!

Wait!!!! So the twist with the fucking alpacas is… The big, dark, aggressive one is the female and the soft, pleasant, cutesy looking one is the male???

No, wait! They fucked?!?! At school?!?!?!?

You know what? Nico hasn't had her resting bitch face since the Christmas episode. Now she just looks cool and laid back, much more like her manga version.

SO CUTE!

LOL. Rin is so real for this one.

You know what, I noticed that Rin is the "friendly hug bug" one that unashamedly gets all touchy feely with others, but it's something she deliberately does. Like, she sets herself up as that and pushes herself in that position, which means it's not something that she does from the soul without thinking. You can totally tell because she's not always doing it in the moments she's really super emotional, and when she's used as a tracking hug dog she complains. In that sense, she's obviously intended to be a normal girl playing the energetic hug bug role. I love that she's the one who quips at Nico unapologetically more than anyone else. She's really interesting, the show just doesn't care to do literally anything with her.

I've come to really like the arcs of the tomboysh girls struggling with their femininity and coming to feel comfortable in it, and I really liked it here, it was super cute, but it doesn't play off of her other traits very well, and although I appreciate she got comfortable with it after her episode the fact that it was over right then and there means it couldn't carry over, so we see less of her traits engaging with what's happening (unlike say, Nico who's the golden standard of her ingrained character trait always being relevant and therefore always coming on front in many scenes!!)

Honoka: It's done! Everyone: µ's… Maki: But in this weather, that'll dry up in no time. Honoka: That's how it should be. Maki: Huh? Honoka: Yep. Everyone: Thank you so much!

And so it's fading. Pretty great.

So good!

Why does this bullshit make me feel pain? Fuck. Seeing characters accomplish things with their friends… it's awesome I love it and it's painfully beautiful.

Anyways, it's an awesome ending. 13 > 12 for real.

Like, seeing them so moved and still dedicated to facing forward is so moving I'm even appreciating their group's platonic dynamic, which is rare for me who can mostly only get really engrossed from the shipping angle.

It's amazing. Love the senpai!

I love Hanayo so much.

Maki-chaaaaan, stop being a bitch!

I fucking love them! UGH!

She's so cute!

I LOVE Honoka being dragged by Hanayo.

She's so cool!!!

She's so strong!

THE END! BEAUTIFUL!

Now for the movie. :3

[theblackestnight-ffxiv]

[ffxivwrite2024] prompt 8: free day

Prompt 8: free day

When she was concentrating, Airraim got a particular furrow in her brow. D’zinhla found it desperately endearing. She also found it endearing that Airraim would scowl if attention was drawn to it, a scowl which only deepened the furrow. 

Right now, she stayed silent, merely watching her beloved over the rim of her glasses. D’zinhla had been working on more transcriptions, work that was very pleasant to do with Airraim also present in the room. Airraim’s own work was at her botany workbench, where she was examining the growth of the plants she tended. It was while she was doing this that D’zinhla had taken note of that furrow of concentration, and paused her own work to admire her.

Airraim hadn’t noticed her regard, putting all her focus into the seedling she was examining. She tilted her head, delicately brushed the newly formed leaves aside, then frowned in consideration, and all the while D’zinhla watched, her heart swelling with warmth for the person who had stolen it.

Whatever it was that had so captured Airraim’s attention seemed to have instilled a low-level frustration in her, because she set the seedling back down and sighed, rubbing the bridge of her nose. “Zinhla, next time we go to the market, I’ll-” She broke off as she looked at her, and found her already watching. A wry smile twisted her lips. “How long have you been staring?”

D’zinhla couldn’t help but grin. “Long enough.” She pushed her chair back from her desk, crossing over to slide her arm across Airraim’s shoulders. “I adore you.”

Airraim chuckled, her tail swishing as she leaned into the half-embrace. “You make this quite obvious, my heart. Not that I’ll ever tire of hearing it.” She lifted her hand to where D’zinhla’s rested on her shoulder, brushing her fingertips over her knuckles.

“Mm.” She leaned down to rest her head against Airraim’s, inhaling her scent, mixed as it was with the loam of potting soil, the green of her plants, and the soft floral fragrance that clung to her. She could easily get distracted by this. “But you were saying?”

“I was saying, the next time we go to the market, I think I’ll need to try something different for these new seedlings.” Airraim gestured with her free hand at the dozen or so, in small cups of soil. “I think they need soil that drains better. Or containers that do. They’re showing signs of retaining too much water.”

“I see. Easily accomplished, I’ll make sure we spend time there.” The climate of Ishgard made gardens a very difficult matter, but the proliferation of greenhouses and conservatories proved that its people were still quite willing to try. Clever things could be done with arrangements of crystals, for instance. Airraim had no few contacts among Ishgard’s green thumbs, and was starting to gain a name for herself, mostly for the exotic plants from far-off places that she provided to them in exchange for their support and advice with her own plants. It was a nice arrangement, and one that made D’zinhla delighted, for it meant that Airraim had her own connections at a remove from herself. Certainly the reason she went to those far-off places was because of D’zinhla, but the work with the plants was all Airraim, and her botanical colleagues here in the city were her connections first and foremost. It gave her joy and relief to see Airraim at work within those connections.

“Thank you,” Airraim murmured, looking up at her with a soft smile. “I do apologize for distracting you from your own work.”

“Oh,” and she waved her own free hand dismissively at her desk. “Nothing terribly interesting. Just transcribing a few more copies of that Pelupelu alpaca-herd song. It’s astonishingly similar in structure to a La Noscean shepherd song, so I have some inquiries of my own to make. But nothing I regret setting aside for some moments of admiration.”

“Careful, or one might think you’re utterly besotted.” Behind the teasing words there was a softness, the softness that told her that Airraim still quietly marveled that she was the focus of D’zinhla’s affections. She could recognize it, because she had the mirror of it herself. 

So she smiled. “Of course I am. How could I not be?” And she pressed a kiss to Airraim’s cheek, rewarded with the soft flush of her skin.

Airraim was silent for a few more moments, then sighed softly, the hint of a purr in her exhalation. “My heart,” she murmured, and D’zinhla knew that this time, at least, she had won, with Airraim having no further comeback but her favorite term of endearment.

With her heart full to bursting, she said, “I love you too.”

Welcome to silent Alpaca Hill

Alpacaly ever after

[onboardsorasora]

in honor of a maxiel second row for the mexico gp…what if Enchanted AU update? (On your own time frame tho 😅)

Hi Nonnie! I woke up to this and said 'they're absolutely correct'. I'd started something a few days ago but didn't know where I wanted to take it. And this prompt along with yesterday pointed me in this direction. I hope you like it! Its also unedited, so hopefully it reads well and has no mistakes lol

Part 1 | Part 11

Part 12

Daniel cackled gleefully as the wind blew through his long curls. They were driving through the hills, like Max pinky promised they would, and he was having the best time. They've been cruising for what felt like hours and when they got to empty strips of road; they’d floor it like a drag race. 

Daniel’s favorite part might be when Max grabs for the hand hold overhead. He always enjoyed making his Dad do it, Michelle was harder because she knew his driving style by now. Max had been a whole new challenge, being a race car driver used to high speeds. But Daniel had been excited to learn that all it took to break Max was drifting around a blind corner going down the mountain road. 

It was exhilarating.

Daniel pulled off to the ridge that had a bannister and bench– boasting a lovely view of the sunset over the city.

He all but jumped out of the sports car positively vibrating with happy energy. Chelle would call it his zoomies. He needed to sing, he needed to run with a horse! He wanted to tear his shirt off!

"Don't do that." Max came out of the car, catching his breath.

Daniel's mouth snapped shut, apparently he was singing. A bird flapped its wings overhead and landed in his curls. Daniel bounced from leg to leg, the wide grin set on his face like clay.

Max eyed him consideringly, a small smile on his face. He armed the car and slipped the key fob into the pocket of his pants.

"Hey Daniel?" It was comical how quickly Daniel's head snapped over to his direction, his brown eyes were wide and sparkling.

"Yeah Maxy?" Daniel bit the cuticle on his thumb, waiting for Max's next words. He didn't expect them though.

"Race you!" Max yelled and then he was off like a bullet. Daniel squaked in outrage before apologizing to the bird on his head and running off after the race car driver.

Max lead him into a short copse of trees where they zig zagged through the foliage in an approximation of tag. Daniel laughed joyously, waving to the different animals that came to watch or lead them in different directions. Obstacles were added by a deer that knew a "better path". And a family of rabbits wanted Daniel to win!

Before long they collapsed in a sunny spot, giggling intermittently. Max's face was flushed from exertion and Daniel couldn't look away. He knew he was equally flushed and sweaty, but Max was lovely.

"Where did you learn to drive like that?" Max broke the silence first.

"My dad taught me. I wanted to run with the horses but it wasn't the safest idea, he'd said. So we drove his truck alongside the herd." Daniel preened, Max liked his driving.

"You learned to drift because of horses?" Max's disbelief was clear. Daniel cackled.

"No!" He sang. "I taught myself to drift to scare Papa. He was always so cool and calm so I wanted to ruffle him a little. It was Joey's idea to scare him. Joey's an alpaca."

Max nodded with a snort. He could see that. Joe was always the silent luker in his calls with Michelle. Like he was watching and waiting for any slip ups. He was very protective. Max supposed they truly needed to be. 

He'd only just gotten back into good graces after the video incident.

"You could've been a racer." Max said offhandedly and Daniel's eyes widened comically. 

He'd been playing with the grass by his hips and before he knew it he found himself on his back with an armful of Daniel. He was hugging Max so tightly.

Daniel leaned backwards a little, hovering over Max with the widest grin, so wide his eyes almost disappeared in their crescents. Daniel positively glowed and his tattoos that had been merely fluttering in the afterglow of their playing were moving almost wildly. Wings fluttering, petals blooming, legs dancing– the works.

"Thank you Maxy. That means a lot." Was all Daniel said and Max knew that there was more to it. But he wouldn't focus on that right now. Not when Daniel was looking so lovely above him, glowing under the rays of the sun.

Part 13

(gif by @peaceoutofthepieces, because Tumblr's gif search sucks)

Beau #7 Boyfriend #1 came over last night, straight from the airport after flying home from a business trip. I had dinner ready for him. We ate and talked.

So, because of his STI, I've been running into some problems with my other relationships. Both The Tree and Moxi's husband have huge concerns about it. The really frustrating part is that transmission of this STI is damn near impossible between women. There is only one documented case. Still, he doesn't want us having sex (and I'm not even sure what that entails, TBH) and I don't like it. I feel like someone else is dictating what I can and can't do in my relationship with someone else. As for The Tree, I haven't heard from him since I told him (well, he responded when I was having a panic attack during my move, but that was it).

Boyfriend #1 feels terrible that he's caused these problems in my other relationships. I told him that he's worth it. Some of it is definitely NRE, but there's something about the way we connect that I haven't felt in a long time. He's incredibly affectionate, which is something I always missed in my marriage. And the sex is next level amazing! Like seriously, this is the best sex I've ever had.

He's someone I can see weekly. His apartment is just 15 minutes from my new house (12 minute bike ride 🚴‍♀️). Basically, Tuesday-Thursday he stays at his apartment. Monday and Friday are his days alone with the kids and weekends are family time with his wife. So he's able to get together with me during his apartment days and it's really lovely.

Honestly, I think I'm in love

I only see Moxi about once a month because she's busy with her kids and other things. The Tree and I were never actually dating, as much as it felt like it sometimes. I really wanted to be his girlfriend, but he wasn't in a place to do that emotionally. And every time I try to talk to him about his breakup that's the issue (his ex is still living in their shared apartment while he lives with his sister and BIL), he shuts down. So even before Boyfriend #1 was in the picture, I wasn't sure when he'd be ready for a real relationship. And now that he's gone radio silent, I think the answer is pretty clear.

So yes, I'm sacrificing quite a bit to have him as my boyfriend, but this is the kind of relationship I've been looking for since my ex and I opened our marriage. It's what we were lacking and it feels really good to have it now.

I miss The Tree and I'm mad because I made a cross stitch thing for him

and I'm working on a hat that I bought really soft alpaca yarn when I was in Denver just to make it for his bald head. I might still give them to him, if he agrees to see me again.

Losing him really sucks because he was one of the most supportive people throughout my divorce. But he doesn't seem to be able to give me the kind of relationship I desire from him. So I'd rather let him go and continue to build this relationship with Boyfriend #1 than hang onto something that might not ever come to fruition.

But anyway, Boyfriend #1 spent the night last night. We had fantastic morning sex (6 orgasms! 😯) and in the post sex "I don't wanna leave this bed but stupid capitalism is making me," I asked him what he thought about labels.

"I'm still new to all of this [poly relationships]. You mean like 'girlfriend?'"

I nodded and he said he liked that. So, I have a boyfriend! And a girlfriend! And a lovely FWB (FWB #2) who truly is a friend. Oh, and I hooked up with the hottie who runs the local poly group (Boyfriend #1 were actually talking about how hot we think she is). So there might be something brewing with this Lady #3 as well, though she also doesn't have a ton of 1 on 1 time to offer me.

I feel like I'm settling into something nice with my poly life. And now with the stress of the divorce and home buying and selling over, I've closed that chapter and am starting a new one. I mean, I was saying before my birthday that I was turning 40 and starting over. And it seems to be pretty great so far.

I haven't been this happy in a long time.

talking about another fic!!

i finished it late last night, and oh my gosh.

i’ve heard loads about it, seen it everywhere… i am so disappointed i didn’t read it sooner.

Beneath a Big Blue Sky by eyra.

please please give it a go if you haven’t. this is another one @fandombirdie told me to read so thank you <33 you’re literally saving days

theres a misunderstanding which causes sirius and james to go work a lambing season at a farm. they start off SO far out of their depth, and it’s so fun. never having even seen sheep, or stepped foot on a farm at all. i was laughing and smiling so much. (allwhile feeling extremely guilty for it, these poor boys, someone help them.)

remus is the farmer’s son, and there are so many moments of silent judgment from his part. he immediately recognizes that they are SO beyond lost. but despite the judgement and small jabs he throws their way, he’s so gentle with his teaching. i could cry i love him so much!!!

hope and lyall!!! i love it. i always love seeing them in fics, and this one was no different. they’re amazing in this. hope and her alpacas <33

i love how remus is just a perfect mix of them as well.

snuffles and sirius. guys. i’ve seen fanart of them. one of my favorite fanarts of all time is literally of them, and i never knew. sirius and his little black sheep and how together they’re literally and figuratively black sheep and i’m :(((

sirius just adopting snuffles and being the mom i’m so unbelievably ill and crying so much

and cecil!!!! this grumpy ass dog reminded me of my own, brought such a smile to my face.

but snuffles AND cecil?

chapter 10 being an epilogue and snuffles no longer a baby… yet still living with his mama. tears were shed. especially when cecil came in for cuddles.

“told you he’d forget he’s a sheep.” oh i loved this work so much.

there are so so so many soft and gentle moments that had me on the verge of tears. it was such an easy read for me, which i love. i’m normally a pretty slow reader but i read this in an entire day. everything came together so nicely and beautifully at the end and just. oh my gosh. please give it a read if you haven’t.

a special mention to peter. him thinking james and sirius were together, and then buying james a pride flag as a moving in gift. oh i loved it so much.
