every one of her actions went successfully unnoticed by him, his eyes now in a daze and head foggy with liquor. simon doesn't remember the girl's name he'd been dancing with, nor does she seem to care that he doesn't address her as such. his lips brushing over her skin every now and then seemed to do the trick, distracting her from the details that should have mattered but no longer do. ultimately, the decision had been made to take her back to his, since it was the one night that his parents would stay the night at the hospital. hand at the small of the girl's back, simon opens the door out of the club but makes the final terrible decision to look back into the crowd one last time to lock eyes with bea, letting his gaze linger for perhaps too long, before breaking the contact and stepping out into the cold night air.

bea had complained enough to her friends, trying with everything in her power to not burst at the seams emotionally. the idea of leaving early had crossed her mind many times, just so she didn't have to deal with the fact that she was under the same roof as simon while he was dancing up on another girl, let alone having to catch it out of the corner of her eye. but her friends had insisted that she stay, to show him that she was having a fun time without him-- or at least give him that illusion. and with that, she had downed a number of more shots, trying her hardest to forget about what had happened that evening but miserably failing at doing so. by the end of the night, she just couldn't help but glance back, hoping and praying he didn't catch her sight-- but at this point, she was too drunk to care, considering this would probably be the last time she'd ever see him.

hockey player simon pt 0.5 // pt 01 & 02

(pre-pt 1 & 2)

there is something that riley (41) does that kind of—or really, if you're being honest, which you aren't—makes you breathless. you wonder if it's a deliberate habit, or if it's something he does unconsciously. whatever it may be, it drives you fucking nuts.

when he's on ice, mid-game, riley chooses to chew on his mouth guard instead of wearing it.

thing is, he's not the only one who actually does this—countless lead players are photographed as they chew on their mouthpieces, their eyes faraway because they are in the zone—and you've always noticed them, of course you have, but there is something fundamentally different when riley does it.

it's pleasing when it's him who does it. attractive.

the others barely make you blink, but riley? god, you can't even show your camera roll to your friends anymore because of that one day when you mass-saved every single photo of him biting on his mouth guard that you could scour.

you probably downloaded about forty-one (ha!) images of those types.

it's embarrassing to admit out loud, but dear god he is so charming like that—in full hockey gear, his damp hair framing his flushed face, and his grin made cheekier by the fact that he's biting down on his mouth guard.

one was even your homescreen for a while.

fuck him for being gorgeous.

(post-pt 02)

simon skates towards you at the sound of the buzzer—the first period is over, and now it was time for the intermission. the rink is being cleared out for the re-icing, but here he is being a bastard, loitering and everything. even his coach seemed to have given up at shouting his name already, and after a quick glance at him, you know simon’s going to be reprimanded for this.

but the thought and the fond exasperation is squashed into hot smithereens, with your heart lodging itself in your throat again. you feel faint, your eyes going wide as you map the way simon moves towards you, gliding across ice with a rugged grace.

simon’s eyes are dark, lined with exhaustion and adrenaline, and his teeth, pearly, are chewing on his mouthpiece.

fuck—

he stops just in front of you and taps the glass protector. cameras flash by your sides and you know damn well you’d see your face later posted in different socials, but right now, in front of simon, you can’t even begin to care how ridiculous you might look.

(you looked breathless. cowed. in awe. everyone can’t fault you, really, after all that’s riley.)

you don’t even know what you did—did you wave your hand too? did you tap back? did you do something else, something that you typically wouldn’t have done?—but whatever it was, it has simon smiling, his lips tugging up to show more of his pearly teeth gnashing on his mouth guard.

you whimper.

-

"why the hell do you keep chewing on ye' gumshield?" mactavish asks in the weight room while he spots simon's reps. garrick is in the corner by himself while price is out with the coaches, discussing about other plays they can start with come the second period.

simon has to tamp down his smile at mactavish’s words, his arms almost buckling as the rush of inexplicable giddiness that fills him up, before he murmurs, "s'none of y'r business."

"oi!"

well what does mactavish want simon to say? that he accidentally peeked into one of the albums in your old phone only to be met by series of pictures of him biting on his mouthpiece and decided to tease you during today’s game?

that’d make him look like he isn’t serious about the game, wouldn’t it?

this is, truly, inspired by draisaitl 😔 and for @spngingerbread21 <33

"especially because it was only supposed to be a one night stand. besides, does it really count as such if afterwards, we spent the whole day swimming in a lake together? come on. this has always been so much more."

"even after it was only supposed to be a one night stand?"

[s0fter-sin]

nikolai hunting ghost down whenever they're on the same base and plucking him from whatever duties he has to whisk him away somewhere private. he has no authority, nothing more than his reputation as a rogue pilot with a few screws loose, but the way he fearlessly manhandles the ghost has people ducking out of his way anyway

behind a locked door, he offers ghost the choice of either curling up at his feet or sitting pliant in his lap, his full weight against him with his head lax on his shoulder; warm, comfortable, boneless

he then tucks his mask up above his lips and plies him with fruit and sweets; things he'd never buy for himself, indulgences he’d never entertain, wasted on a hollow shell like him

but nikolai? oh, he knows how much he deserves them; these precious moments of peace where the only thing ghost exists for is the next delicious bite

he feeds them to him one by one; thumbing strawberry juice and powdered sugar from his lips, humming in pure pleasure as he sucks it away, and smiles at ghost’s involuntary shivers when he feeds him his favourites. ghost doesn't even know what most of the sweets even are; what they’re made of or even what country nikolai buys them from. he just knows he loves them; loves the chase of nikolai’s fingers on his tongue after each one even more

nikolai always brings plenty for him, always draws it out, wanting these rare breaths of contentment to last for ghost’s sake as much as his own; offering plump bites of tart, homemade treats, letting rich chocolate melt between his fingers so it's soft in his mouth and watches his eyes flutter shut as he savours it

decadence incarnate; slow taught and hard won

ghost licks the dregs from his fingers and suckles them long after they're clean; the thought of an empty mouth so wrong to his sweet-clouded mind. nikolai coos in russian down at him, brushing his fingers through his hair as he holds him close, but he's too far away to take in any of it; the only thing holding him in the present the sugared fingers held gently in his mouth

after all, nikolai's always been his favourite sweet

Tmi gang and the perfumes they would use

your local tmi brained has come back with another analysis. this thread considered multi facets into picking a specific sense for each character, from their personality, occupation to their financial background. and feel free to add in any perfume you think also fit these characters 💖

Alec

Starting off with our beloved consul. After marrying into wealth and slowly moving away from the battlefield and into the office, Alec develops a penchant for light, comforting scents, thinking white floral, peony, and smell of freshly washed fine cashmere sweater. Note the sandalwood, through the influence of his husband

Magnus

The ever-elusive high warlock of Brooklyn. Gorgeous, exquisite taste. Say you can’t afford him and everyone knows it. Magnus loves a rich gourmand with bits of kick, much like his chaotic personality. He's a party boy at heart, but that family side sure brings out the sweetness

Clary

Clary is like the turning point between spring and summer. Windy enough for a lazy picnic. Floral but not too sweet. She needs something fresh, to roll out of bed every morning for shadowhunter training, art class, and then the occasional demon-hunting date night

Jace

The golden boy your parents warn you about. Is that the beast or the fallen angel? Can be seen either shirtless or sticking by his armies of worn leather jackets, Jace has no qualms about attracting eyes everywhere he goes. He would smell like he instigates a fight in some sleazy crowded bar, and win

Izzy

Classic. Feminine. Seductive. The fantasy of every man's dream. Vanilla, almond, and tropical fruits, it is as delicious as it get. But beware behind the sweetness, her sharp whip and sharper heels, ready to crush anyone and everyone getting in her way. And it would be an honor

Simon

He doesn’t know much about perfume but got this as a prank and refuses to stop using it unironically. He also thinks its' citrus and salt help with the sweat after training and band practice. He’s lucky Izzy happens to like his natural musky scent beneath all the spray

+ (2) BONUS

Alternative pick for Alec

Still his favorite white floral, but there's more push for fresh and fruity

Alternative pick for Magnus

A million different smells at once, smokey and sexy

god i want. an au where it dosn't work. where it's just arr g'raha who's woken up, and he doesn't have all these memories and all these people keep looking at him like they're mourning someone. the world has changed and time has changed and all the people he knows have changed, but he hasn't changed, he was just sleeping, just sleeping, and the world nearly ended several times and apparently he helped prevent yet another end but he has no memory of this. they want him to join the scions. he does not know these people. (he barely knows the warrior of light, now, but did he ever truly know them in the first place?) his little sister is alive and well. she looks at him like a ghost. she's changed, and she's older than him now. he acts bratty and loud and brash to cover up the fact that he does not know anything it seems, and he is tired but he was sleeping for so long, so how could he be tired?

he doesn't know these people. they seem to know him. he wonders if he'd killed someone, when it was him and not that exarch who woke up. he wonders if it should have been him who was "killed" in that way, if it is him that lives and not that man who had known and become friends with all these figures from legend. he wonders if he'll always be fated to be a historian one step back from everything, because he simply cannot be a hero.

[inkshadow]

he couldn't help but turn his head to snicker, overhearing the panic and barrage of questions coming from the other end of the line. he'd fully expected her to have her phone on her but given how wedding dresses are never made with pockets, he supposed there would only be so many places to put it. ❝ oh really? well maybe you should tell her that next time i leave, she better be home. it's not my fault they only gave me a handful of days and we don't live in the same town anymore! ❞ and to be honest, he didn't have too long this time either. free hand tugging on the lapels of his suit jacket - which was growing more and more uncomfortable by the minute - his eyes flicker from his best friend and out the window. ❝ i know that spontaneity is great and all but... what do we do now? where do i take you? i mean, i guess you could come to my hotel but you can't exactly stay there forever, bek. ❞

that  was  fair.    she  did  have  a  way  with  words,    especially  when  he  beat  her  at  mario  kart    –    nothing  says  rage  like  a  fourteen  year  old  getting  second  place  by  just  one  second.    eyes  glance  down  at  their  hands,    a  feeling  of  comfort  and  safety  washing  over  her.    bek  nods  with  a  laugh,    reaching  for  his  phone  in  the  cupholder  and  dialing  her  sisters  number.    only  half  a  ring  before  it’s  picked  up,    a  frantic    hello?    on  the  other  end  of  the  line.    ❛  alison,    it’s  me.  ❜    she  begins,    only  to  be  cut  off  by  an    oh,    thank  god!    and    wait,    why  are  you  on  simon’s  phone?    are  you  with  simon?    ❛  yeah,    listen,    i  -    tell  mom  i’m  sorry.    shit,    tell  everyone  i’m  sorry  -  .  ❜    her  sisters  voice  cut  her  off  again,    rambling  on  about  how  she’ll  take  care  of  it  and  to  steer  clear  from  the  venue  and  home  for  awhile.    she  hangs  up  the  phone,    giving  him  a  pointed  look.    ❛  she  wanted  to  tell  me  to  tell  you  hello  and  thank  you and that you better see her before you run away from us again.  ❜

[inkshadow]

❝ yes, yes, i'll pick some up on the way - ❞ his words are cut short as chance dealt his fate today, his eyes locking on a girl whose face still haunts him in his dreams in the most beautiful way. couldn't focus on his mother's words that continue to trickle from his phone before he tells her that he needs to go, as if he needed to focus on something while waiting for his coffee order. she was on a date this time... at the very place he introduced her to. despite the pain ebbing in his chest, he supposed that karmic retribution was the only thing that could make this right, and he had no reason to be jealous. not after he'd ghosted her for months on end.

❝ please, vlad. ❞ he’s swaying where he stands, bare feet pressing to the cold floor. vladimir’s place is always so fucking cold. a shiver trails down his spine, as if to underline the trembling tearing through his frame. it’s the cold, simon tells himself. it’s only the cold, not the chronic lack of blood in his system making him cloudy-headed and freezing. ❝ c’mon, i know you must be starving. ❞ simon takes a step closer to him, lifting a hand to lay against the curve of the other’s neck. ❝ i can take it, i promise. i don’t mind. ❞ of course he doesn’t mind– he craves it, the high that only vladimir can give him. he’s tried other things, powder & pills & alcohol to chase that perfect delirium, but none of it compares to the feeling of the other’s teeth sinking into his neck. simon feels like he’s earned it. he lets vlad fuck him like he hates him ( maybe he does ) , and in return simon is rewarded with that all-consuming high. but there is still hesitation in the taller man. simon feels his heartbeat start to quicken. ❝ don’t be a dick ! ❞ frantic fingernails raise to his own neck, where a collection of healed and half-healed puncture wounds permanently mark his skin. it doesn’t take long for him to claw at one of the fresher marks, tearing open the skin with ease. his hands are truly shaking now, as simon pushes his fingertips into the wound until they come back wet and scarlet. it’s so easy to forget that vladimir could kill him in an instant. even as he pushes his fingers against the taller man’s lips, smearing them with blood, there is no fear in simon. only desperation. only want. ❝ why won't you give it to me ?! ❞
