Please Don't Be Gentle
Summary: You asked for it. He's more than willing to comply.
Pairing: Crosshair x reader
Warnings: NSFW, 18+, rough sex, blowjobs, rough blow jobs, hair pulling, slight choking, manhandling, the author’s glove kink showing back up, brief fingering but otherwise not much foreplay
A/N: I'm trying out something new before I get real busy. Just some short drabbles of varying filth levels. (There will be some sfw ones as well, I was just in a mood today.) I say short but it's like 500 words so...
MASTERLIST
Your knees ache. Not that you could really complain with Crosshair’s cock stuffed in your mouth. You’ve been here probably too long, on your knees before him. He hasn’t cum yet, one hand wrapped firmly around the base of his cock, the other tangled in your hair. You meet his gaze, his eyes squinted as they always seem to be as he stares down at you. He loves your mouth. He’d told you before you started.
He’d spent a long time kissing you, mapping your mouth with his tongue before you’d uttered the words that had put you in this position in the first place.
“Please don’t be gentle with me.”
Crosshair’s lips had lifted in a smirk, eyes going dark before his hand wrapped around your throat and his teeth sunk into your lip hard enough to draw blood.Not long after you’d been forced into this position. Your jaw aches, and you know your voice is going to be hoarse tomorrow.
Crosshair releases the base of his dick, the hand in your hair forcing you forward until you physically can’t take anymore. You grip his thighs to steady yourself, breathing through your nose as he holds you there for a moment. You choke around him and he releases you, letting you draw back off his cock completely. You take a deep breath, coughing a little at the irritation in your throat.
He still hasn’t cum yet, cock hard and angry as he stares down at you like you’re nothing but dirt on the bottom of his boot. His hand grabs the back of your neck, dragging you to your feet and onto the table in the middle of the room.
Your body hits the table with a thud, hard enough to draw a noise from you.. The hand on the back of your neck keeps you from moving, a booted foot pushing your legs further apart. You’re practically dripping, naked folds glistening in the low light of the barracks.
Gloved fingers trail your folds, ghosting over your clit. You’re just far enough back you can’t use the table to your advantage, for any sort of friction you’re desperate for. A glove hits the table next to your face before two fingers are stuffed into your pussy. You moan as you finally get some relief.
“Hear that?” He says, his words slithering under the squelch of your soaked pussy. “So wet for me.”
“For you,” You gasp, hips pressing back against his hand. “Only for you.”
He chuckles, withdrawing his fingers. “Good girl.”
His fingers are quickly replaced by his cock, and he gives you no time to adjust as he sinks into you to the hilt. You whine at the discomfort of being stretched so suddenly, hands curling into fists where they rest against the table.
“Still so kriffing tight.” Crosshair gasps, his free hand trailing over your back. “You’ve been neglected too long.”
You whimper, pushing up onto your toes as he begins to move his hips, forcing you against the table as he thrusts into you. You moan and whine as he fucks you, legs trembling from how close you are already. You’ve been wet since he proposed this idea, wet at the thought of taking him, of letting him have his way.
The hand on the back of your neck forces your face to the other side, your lips parting as you get closer and closer to the edge. Your eyes meet Hunter’s where he’s seated just mere feet away, secured tightly to a chair.

I only ship him as bi because I ship him with Peter B. Lol.
I very much hate how the internet made me attracted to this beffy man. I swear.
This fic was actually based off of a fic idea that @miel-deerling and I had.
Basically it was the idea that, since Miguel looks like a vampire with his fangs, and there's sooooooooooo many fans thirsting over him. I thought that he had vampire seduction, but instead of being sexy and attracting people that way, he just yells at people people and that's how they get under his spell.
Miel then wrote a story about out self inserts, SpiderMoth and Monarco. Monarco is immune to the seduction, while SpiderMoth isn't. And this has caused problems because Monarco and SpiderMoth are anomalies. Basically there's two spiders in one world, and that can't happen according to big Error Sans over there. So Miguel had to choose between the two, and since Mothman is under his spell, that's the one he chose. meanwhile, Monarco isn't aware of the curse and gets mad at Mothy for going along with Miguel's spider cult and Hobie is trying to work on a cure for this curse.
Here's my spidersona btw.

mk so ya’ll, I’ve been thinkin bout a new undertale au(I already have one but this is sorta a prequel to it/a possible prequel to undertale- both my main ut au and ut are pretty similar so it could be interpreted as a prequel to both/either one)(also yeah I have that lackadaisy au that im still figurin out but shh, I’ve already started to make some of the lackadaisy cards for some of the ocs so its not gonna disappear from my mind or anythin like that, this au is just a new ide- ….im rambling on lmao)
:ahem: so, basically, it follows the journey of the integrity soul- who ironically i made be an au version of mia “mimi” magne-esemais(i changed her and miele’s last name to have “magne” in it, it sounded cool when i heard of that last name the first time so i decided to use it)- aka a 12 y/o girl named mia, who has interests in stuff like ballet, for example. somehow she managed to accidentally trip on a vine and fall down into the underground, causing her to have to find a way back home. she meets flowey while trying to figure out the first puzzle in the ruins, and befriends him- (and after a few puzzles and a tutorial or sum)eventually reaching the ruined city(yknow, the big city in front of the balcony where you find the toy knife? the name is a placeholder since I haven’t really thought bout it much yet but it sounds pretty good to me tbh) to find a way out of the ruins, considering the only other way would be through toriel’s house. i forget if anybody actually lives in that city or not, or even if there’d even be a way to snowdin from there, but this au probs takes place in the 80s or 90s, considering UT and my UT AU take place sometime in the 2010s- hence meaning that things could’ve changed after mia died. but anyways.. she’d probably be able to gain the ability to save either once you get there, or after meeting flowey. either one works.
after reaching the ruined city, there’d be a some shops, npcs, and all of that jazz- but the whole “acting buying items” thing wouldn’t really be accessible until after they leave the ruins, considering mia would have no money(or not much money, depending on if monsters will attack her before she reaches the city or not, since that depends on when she gets to save). besides, she has more important things to do! …..like getting chased by some royal guards(despite having a.. “disguise”.. which is just the hood of mia’s hoodie), befriending a few monsters maybe, and meeting toriel right as she and flowey are about to leave the ruins. said goat mom takes her(for some reason, flowey hides himself from her.. hm) back to her home before she manages to get herself into any more trouble, and mia doesn’t exactly mind staying with toriel for a second.. but after a day or so flowey convinces her to sneak off to get back on track- so they both leave the ruins in the dead of the night by usin the downstairs exit to snowdin. (though there could possibly be a boss fight in ruins? maybe one of the guards or sum, dunno yet. if anybody has ideas, im open to em.)
i haven’t really figured anythin out past that point yet, but i had an idea for the (old- like.. before undyne. well probs before the person that was before undyne but you get the point) captain of the royal guard, who eventually mia tries to plead with to go home- but obviously that doesn’t happen, considering that mia starts to get chased round by the captain(I don’t have a name for her yet, but what I do know is that she could possibly be related to two of my ut ocs who are also in my ut au. like.. maybe a great-aunt or sum, and since those two ocs are arctic-fox-based monsters, that’s what the captain would be) all the way to waterfall, and eventually they get into a boss fight. the captain manages to die, however. not through mia, but moreso through an accident that happened during the fight. if you’re curious on how the captain would be like, kinda think of adam from hazbin hotel, but like… more smarter, not sexist or stuff like that, and nicer(or at least way more polite). the reason why the captain knew of mia’s existence was the events that happened in the ruins, and her sighting in snowdin.
anyways- eventually mia could possibly meet gaster(or at least whoever the royal scientist before alphys was), maybe??? dunno, but ik eventually she would die during the fight with asgore ofc. she also has a bit of a design change while in waterfall and hotland; in waterfall she takes off her tutu and ballet shoes to run better(she has an extra pair of shoes tho dw), and in hotland she wraps her hoodie around her waist(her shirt is really just one of those ballet leotard thingys lol- she also wears ballet tights, but they’re sorta more like leggings/more durable n stuff), considering it’d be pretty hot with it on(but she probably puts it back on after reaching the core or new home- and speaking of new home, she probably gets to explore the city, too). whenever she has her hoodie on, she puts her hair down, too- but its not too relevant so :shrug:
do ya’ll like this au so far, tho? i think it might be pretty interesting, and could possibly get its own fan-game one day, if i can manage to get people to help me(but first, I’ll probably write bout this and/or draw a comic, which both are things I’d do for my other ut au).
btw, if ya’ll have suggestions for any sort of ideas(like name ideas for the captain, or things that could happen, for example), I’d be glad to hear em 👍
(also, adding onto that- im unsure of what the au should be called. for now it’s “UnderTale Blue”, but I’m also thinking of “UnderSoul Blue” for my UT AU, “UnderBlue”, “BlueTale”, and “BlueSoul”. but maybe it(and possibly the game itself) could also be sum ballet-related?? dunno- but if you guys could help me with that, I’d appreciate it :D)
(EDIT; the fallen-children order thingy(well, the order of the 6 children) is currently this(note; each of the 6 human souls died in at least a week or two(maybe longer if they were lucky) after they fell, most likely);
Perseverance fell first, in the early-to-mid 1920s.
Bravery fell a few years later(still in the 1920s, just late 20s).
Then, Patience falls in the 1940s or 50s.
Kindness falls in the 60s(maybe 70s?).
Mia/Integrity falls sometime in the 80s or 90s. I was thinking possibly 98, so that she’d be born in 86(i could also make the year of Mia’s fall 95 or 99… to reference obvious things lmao)… just because i like the number lol.
Justice falls last, about a year later(as a reference to UnderTale Yellow, since Integrity fell right before Justice).
i think that this is a pretty good order, but what do ya’ll think?)

ao3
chapter 1 || chapter 2 || chapter 3 || chapter 4 || chapter 6 ||
word count: ~4k
coming to terms now, are we?
warnings: descriptions of medical settings, discussion of surgery and injury but nothing graphic, god fluff, nasty big fluff
——
wow. halfway through y’all. thank you to each and every ONE of you who have given this story a chance. enjoy some fluff and get ready for next week 👀 once again, beta-ed by the wuv @keiqos !!
||||||||||||||||||
Exhaustion had long since clawed a hole in your skull.
It was one of the many forms of malefactum that came from your fucking quirk, damn it to hell. The days following any sort of intense overstimulation episode of yours were always hellish. Constant fatigue, burning migraines, dry eyes, and confusion always waited for you by the time you rolled out whatever pushed you over the edge.
The villain attack was probably the worst episode you’d had, ever.
The entire trip to the hospital had been sort of a nightmare. There were so many people that needed treatment after the attack, so many of them worse off than yourself. You were lucky enough to get into a dark hospital room fairly quickly, allowing some of your symptoms to dull.
You were just coherent and aware enough to deal with everyone you needed to, paperwork and legalities of your visit sorted. You even managed to send a few texts to your parents and work groupchat to confirm that you were safe.
After a myriad of late-night tests and exams, it was confirmed that the next morning, you’d have a procedure to mend your leg.
...
Fixing the internal damage to your leg caused by the tearing of the glass was a fairly quick affair, according to your kind-smiled surgeon.
“I know it seemed abrupt, to do it so quickly,” The surgeon stuffed her hands in the pocket of her scrubs. “But, we’ve flown in extra medical personnel to help deal with injuries from the attack and well, you’re an easy fix.”
You smiled, the best you could, groggy with the anesthetic, “I’m glad it isn’t too bad.”
“Nope! Not at all,” She laughed, far too pleasant for all the chaos just outside your dimly lit hospital room. “We’ll keep you here tonight, and you should be able to go home tomorrow afternoon. You’ll need to keep weight off of that leg for about three weeks. We’ll have a follow-up appointment then, and make sure you’re healing alright. Sound good?”
You nodded, some tension releasing from your chest.
The procedure left you with a heavy plastic boot, clasped up to your knee. Not to mention your body ached with fatigue.
Most of the rest of that day was spent spinning in and out of sleep, only waking for basic checks and a delivery of flowers you received from the teashop’s owners complete with a passive-aggressive reminder that ‘this had nothing to do with us, you can’t sue <3.’
Your constant company was Hawks’s scarlet feather. As you moved through the bends of your quirk and post-surgical recovery, you held onto it like a lifeline. With each stroke of the soft filaments, your heart rate monitor would beep slower and slower towards a relaxed rhythm.
It made you think of him, and how he felt with your quirk activated.
Despite how shitty the circumstances were, really feeling Keigo with your quirk was heavenly. Feeling him in general, physically was a fucking blessing. You spent a lot of time that night and first day at the hospital fantasizing about how the beat of his heart felt like amber drops on your tongue and orange-bound warmth in your chest.
You wanted more of it.
Keigo stayed around to help deal with the mess, for once in his career. It was weird for him to spend the following day after the attack helping out on the scene. It was even weirder for the other Pros around that were aware of his reputation of simply not doing that.
It was out of character for him.
But, then again, Keigo hadn’t ever spent as much time at someplace he enjoyed like the teashop. Hell, the whole street. He’d patrolled plenty of areas for long stretches of time, but he’d never grown attached.
You were, obviously, a big part of that.
Seeing you hurt left him frazzled and fucked, and staying behind to help pick up the mess and provide aid made him feel a hell of a lot better. Sure, it was different, having local Pros look to him for guidance when he had to purely rely on his training from the Commission as opposed to his professional experience. He did well, he knew, especially based on the way the scene calmed even when he simply flew around.
Keigo had the power to bring people ease, even if he struggled with it himself.
The idea made him think back to you, undoubtedly still in pain, but more than likely entirely fine. He ignored the urge to text you anxiously as he was still parsing over the very sweet interaction the two of you had, even if it was in such a bad circumstance.
Your sweetness at the end was his constant reminder that you would be okay.
The implication and Keigo’s knowledge post- ‘the miel incident,’ as he was calling it, was obvious, and god, he wanted to fucking drown in it. The thought of having you so close that he could hear your heartbeat and feel the drum of your voice against your chest made him weak.
He was so fucking weak for you.
It was distracting, as it always was. It seemed fairly unavoidable especially as anxiety chewed at him. The one thing that lulled him was the far off feeling of the feather he had tucked in your hand. It had to be close to you still, the beat of your heart sending him shudders if he focused on it hard enough.
It became too much, thinking of you.
As his feathers swept piles of rubble, he pulled out his phone, the sun beginning to sink in the evening sky.
You had spent most of your recovery time in and out of consciousness, enjoying the time to rest and sleep.
A short buzz from your phone forced you into a half-wakeful state. You reached to the table next to the hospital bed, grappling for your phone.
[birdboy]: hey r u alive,
[birdboy]: how r u feeling
[birdboy]: speak 2 me
You cracked a sleepy smile.
[you]: alive, tired, surgery-ied.
You took a quick snap of your booted, propped up foot.
[you]: getting discharged tomorrow babyyyy
[birdboy]: oh fuck what happened?
[birdboy]: u sure ur good
The feather against your collarbone twitched, filaments waving. You thought little of it.
[you]: i tore some shit in my leg
[you]: and yes, just tired as fuck and want to be home
[you]: hospitals SUCK
[birdboy]: true, true
[birdboy]: would u...
[birdboy]: like a visit perhaps?
[you]: u sure??
[you]: i know ur busy and i dont wanna use up ur freetime
There was a pause in Keigo’s nearly instant responses.
[birdboy]: dove.
Your breath stuttered in your chest. That was newer; you only remembered it vaguely from the . It felt far more intimate than just ‘angel,’ and it made you shiver as you read it.
[birdboy]: busy schedule??
[birdboy]: i’ll make the time angel
[birdboy]: i’d love to come visit u
You couldn’t help the smitten expression that burst across your face.
[you]: and i’d love to see you
You wished you could’ve continued the conversation, but your night nurse knocked to offer you pain medication and sedatives and you couldn’t say no to more rest. Your mind and body needed it.
As quickly as it was administered, you were out again.
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
You were exhausted. Still.
When you heard voices just outside of your door, you couldn’t help cracking open your dry eyes. It seemed far too early for them to collect your vitals. The room was still dark, large windows only showing a trace of the dawn’s light stretching from the east.
Your sleep-addled mind stretched to listen:
“Thank you so much for the autograph! My son is such a huge fan of yours.”
“Oh, really! Tell him I say hi! I really adore my fans.”
Giggling.
“Is she a fan?”
“Sort of, more of a friend of mine.”
He... said it again.
A shaft of light sprayed into the room, your quirk firing at the sudden intrusion. You groan, pawing at your eye with your fist, the feather held between your fingers blocking some of the light.
Even with your diminished vision and tired mind, you still caught it when he laughed at your reaction, stepping into the room.
Honey, softness, cream and heat that made your chest thrum like embers.
“H-Hawks?” Your voice was still itchy with sleep.
“That’s me.” His laugh rolled over you as your quirk receded, palms thrumming with the silkenness of his voice, “It’s good to see you, dove.”
“S’nice to see you too,” Your chest thrummed with his words and you couldn’t restrain the smile that spread across your face, “‘Ya know, you woke me up, just now.”
Hawks gave you a little chuckle, moseying his way to a chair nearby the bed and window, “Sorry about that. I had to sneak in here before official visiting hours so I didn’t cause a ‘scene’.”
You snorted.
“You, causing a scene?” You asked, raising your eyebrows at him, “Hawks? Never. Not once.”
He stifled a laugh, dragging the thinly-padded chair closer to the bed and leaning back into it, “Glad to see you’re in good spirits, considering you’re still here and all.”
“From what I can tell, it could be a lot worse, especially compared to other people that were there,” The end of your sentence turned sullen, your expression darkening.
Hawks let out a little sigh, “It wasn’t pretty, that’s for sure. But, you’re safe, and most folks are safe. Bright side.”
“Bright side.” You repeated, softer, looking up from the plain sheets to meet his gaze.
You took him in, quickly.
He looked a bit worse for wear, the exhaustion from the days before still visible on his features. The dark circles under his eyes almost looked worse, perhaps uncovered and deeper since the attack. His wings weren’t even visible from your angle, plucked too short and sparse to be of much use.
But, Hawks was, undoubtedly, still stunning.
It was almost distracting, how unavoidable mentally eating him up was. You’d felt what he was like during the attack and that had apparently broken some mental dam for you. Holding back just how much you liked him seemed futile, at least mentally.
You would let yourself be honest, at least with yourself, as a treat.
What probably also pushed you over the edge was the fact that he wasn’t in his hero uniform, for once. You’d only ever seen him in his tan and black get up before. Seeing him casually dressed was shocking and very hot.
Hawks wore a simple black long sleeve with a long, wool jacket over it, black jeans, nothing seemingly extravagant except for the nicer looking chunky sneakers he wore and the fat gold watch on his wrist. It was all designer, knowing his paycheck. Without all of his normal regalia, you could better see that his pierced ears carried some light yellow stones that played off his eyes.
His feathery golden waves were messy, falling over his forehead and temples. The curves and angles of his jaw looked accented by the rising dawn light that was just beginning to filter into the room. There was the smallest quirk in his plump lips, but it hardly detracted from how stunning he was.
He was remarkably gorgeous, naturally, and you let yourself think about it freely.
Keigo felt a bit bad, seeing you in your state.
He tried to be subtle, looking you up and down, heart-thumping his chest as the feather in your hand-picked up your own pulse. It had sped up when he entered the room, even more so when you started to beam at him despite your state.
You looked like a bit of a mess, and with anyone else, Keigo might’ve indulged himself in being a little bit of sarcastic shit about it, but he didn’t with you. It didn’t seem right.
Your booted foot was propped up, a hospital gown askew over your collarbones under some thin blankets you were nested underneath. Your dark circles could’ve been worse, but your eyes were shining and alert, all directed on him it made him ache all over in the best way.
The feather twitched in your hand, your gaze darting to it. Heat spread across your cheeks.
“Oh, uh, shit,” You stretched your arm to pass the feather back to him. “Here’s this back. Sorry, I’ve kinda been holding on to it... a lot.”
“It’s alright, that’s why I gave it to you,” Hawks assured you, the feather whisking from your hand on its own and back to the downy stubs that Hawks had left. “Just a little reminder that good ol’ Number Two is looking out for you.”
You hardly needed a reminder. Thoughts of Hawks had been filling your head since it had stopped from swirling from your quirk. The thought of him leaving a bit of him with you only warmed your insides.
“How could I ever forget?” You leaned back into your pillows, releasing a breath you hadn’t realized you’d been holding. “Thank you, Hawks.”
Hawks blinked at you, reaching down to rustle something down by his feet, “For?”
“You know, saving my ass.”
“That’s my job, angel.”
“Still. You thank me every time I make you your drinks, right?” You shrugged at his wide-eyed expression. “Same principle. Except, your life isn’t on the line when I make you lattes.”
“Oh, angel,” Hawks drawled and deflected. “That is a false statement. I rely on those. They’re my lifeblood.”
A little realization dawned on you.
You gave him a sad little smile, rubbing your own knuckles for some semblance of comfort, “It’s gonna be a while until I can provide anything life-giving, then.”
The teashop was destroyed and who knew how long I’d be until they reopened. Not to mention that your leg was post opt and you couldn’t exactly work on it.
Practicality aside, what saddened you most was that Hawks didn’t have much of a reason to see you without the shop.
As much as you had feared it at the beginning of your friendship, you had gotten comfortable with Hawks’s presence in the shop and in your life.
Too comfortable, and now it was biting you in the ass.
Thorns stabbed in your chest.
Keigo noticed your slow-falling expression and frowned, “What’s on your mind?”
“It’s nothing, just, uh...” You shook your head, blinking up at him,
Your voice cut off as your gaze refused to settle on him, Keigo clearly seeing your discomfort.
“Without the teashop, you know...” Then, with that honesty that scared him, you finally met his eyes, gripping the sheets of your hospital bed, “I’m gonna miss seeing you.”
The principle made Keigo’s mind swirl.
You missing him.
His thoughts slipped back to ‘the miel incident’, and your mutual feelings that you very obviously didn’t fucking know about. If you did, he was sure you’d know that he would be missing you a lot without your normal interactions.
This certainly wasn’t the setting to tell you, you were still stuck with an IV and probably somewhat traumatized by the event, even if you seemed in good spirits.
But, he could help assuage your fears. Subtly. Let himself use his honed arts to comfort rather than connive.
“Dove, it’s alright,” He gave the softest smile he could, shreds of real vulnerability in it coaxed out by you without you even being aware of it. “Just because the teashop isn’t around right now doesn’t mean I don’t want to see you.”
The stunned expression on your face would’ve been cute if it didn’t make Keigo’s heart stutter painfully in his chest.
“You... You do?” Your voice was so soft, you surprised yourself.
Hawks was a busy, busy man. Why the fuck would he bother with you? There was no cute coffee shop aesthetic in your foreseeable future. Maybe some decent drinks, but you wouldn’t be very mobile. You had some supplies and gear to make teas and some drinks at your apartment, but nothing as expansive as was destroyed at the shop. If it was flirty banter keeping him near, there were certainly other people he could go to for some natural chemistry, right?
He doesn’t need you.
Why the fuck would he bother with you, outside of what you could offer him?
“Dove,” Hawks’s voice shook you from your thoughts. “I’m here right now, aren’t I?”
“Uh,” You stuttered, mind catching up to the very obvious conclusion that, yes, Hawks does like having you around. “I guess, yeah.”
He frowned, leaning back in his chair as one of his smaller feathers whisked to your forehead, patting it a few times, “(Y/N), I like spending time with you. I care about you.”
Oh.
That was a little more vulnerability and truth than either of you expected.
Your eyes darted up to meet his, seeing a hint of unbearable fear before it was wiped away.
You didn’t know it, but it was just you that pushed that fear off Keigo’s face.
He forced his shaking hands to be still, mouth drying after saying words that he wasn’t sure he was ready to say yet. God, they were true, but were they okay? For him, or you?
And then you gave him the gooiest, biggest smile you’d ever graced him with, “I care about you too, Hawks. Thank you.”
It made both of your guts turn to mush.
In a stunned moment of silence, both of your breaths stuck in each of your throats. Neither of you could tear your gazes away from each other.
You both tightened your grip on your respective fabrics, your heart rate monitor beeping faster as you swallowed.
Hawks opened his mouth, inhaling, but he was quickly interrupted by a knock on the door. A head poked in, the same nurse as before.
“Hey, sweetheart, we need to take your vitals quick,” She came in, waving to Hawks gleefully.
Hawks’s softened eyes were gone, you realized. Torn away from the moment and now speaking comfortably with the nurse as she checked what she needed to.
Your hands shook.
Keigo noticed it, too, his own trembling as well.
The idle chat between Hawks and the nurse fell on your ears, though you didn’t process any of it. You were far too busy mentally coming to terms with the fact that Hawks cared about you. And, based on his tone and that familiar (but usually hidden) adoration in his eyes, it was a bit deeper than you expected and knew how to swallow.
You took a slow breath as the nurse left, Hawks waving with a wide smile plastered on his face.
When the door shut once more, there was a lull of silence that settled over the room. More early morning sunlight was beginning to slant into the room, throwing gold over the otherwise drab and lifeless greys and whites of the room.
The intense mood had been thoroughly interrupted by the nurse, but perhaps it was a hidden blessing.
Both of you were terrified, but so deeply yearning. You both were a bit too raw.
Maybe it would be better to let the fear fade, just a bit more.
“Oh, shit, I nearly forgot,” Hawks reached down next to him, pulling out a bag you hadn’t realized he had brought him. He set it on the edge of the bed. “I got you something.”
“Hawks.” You groaned, shaking your head and running your hands down your face. “You need to stop being so nice.”
“Can’t do that, (Y/N). I’ll be as nice as I want,” You could see that his grin was shit-eating through the space between your fingers. “Besides, you haven’t even looked at it yet.”
You took the bag into your lap, noticing the ruffles of tissue paper that puffed from the top.
“You didn’t have to get me anything,” You told him, albeit still pulling the paper from the top to reveal a small, wrapped, fluffy object.
Hawks hummed, leaning forward to set his elbows on his knees, “You’re right. I didn’t have to. But, I wanted to.”
As carefully as you could, somewhat suspicious, you peeled back to the paper.
Your eyes widened.
It was a plushie, round and soft with a filling that made it feel like a marshmallow in your arms. The design was familiar, a character from one of your favorite cartoons, but you’d never talked about it with Hawks.
“I figured you could use a little pick me up after all this,” Hawks tilted his head and winked. “Did I get the character right?”
Your mouth fell open, blinking, “How did you... know? That I liked this one?”
“The little pins on your apron,” Hawks tapped his chest. “I figured you must be pretty fond of this one, since you had a couple of buttons for them, right?”
You wanted to give you a coherent, thankful statement to Hawks. Really, you did. Instead, you stared down at the doughy, round-eyed plushie. Maybe a few overwhelmed tears gathered in your eyes, which you promptly sucked down and shook your head.
“Thank you, really,” You rubbed at your eyes with the back of your hand. “But, fuck, Hawks—”
For a moment, Keigo thought you were upset with him. Based on the slight contorting of your face, and the wetness in your eyes, his heart seized up. His fingers twitched from where they cupped his chin, wanting to shoot out and comfort you somehow.
However, Keigo stayed put as you turned back towards him, plushie carefully gathered in your arms and hugged snugly and perfectly to your chest.
“You gotta stop being so fucking nice,” You sighed, pressing your face into the soft fabric of the gift. Your words were muffled, but Keigo heard each one perfectly. “I’m gonna start getting ideas, you know.”
Sure, Keigo could’ve pushed some of your buttons and fluffed himself up for some fun, flirty banter that would be undoubtedly lovely, but it wasn’t the time. You’d had a very long and tiring few days, and Keigo could see and imagine that you were in all sorts of disrepair.
Keigo stood slowly, moving just next to your bed where you turned your head upwards to look at him. Carefully, he placed a worn hand on your shoulder, feeling the small bit of bare skin exposed by the thin gown.
“Don’t worry about that right now, dove, okay?” Keigo let his voice go soft, quiet, and gentle as he could make it. Without thinking, he squeezed your shoulder, rubbing his thumb just under your collarbone.
It was too much, maybe. But neither of you would complain.
Keigo could see and feel the way you relaxed, eyes going half-lidded and leaning into his touch, even putting the slightest amount of your weight into it.
It was probably the most precious and sweet gesture he’d ever experienced.
He made it his goal to make more like it.
(Anything to see you so instantly mushy.)
“I saw a coffee machine when I was coming in,” Hawks voice was a hum, hand on your shoulder not moving. You didn’t want it to. The heat pressing against your skin made you melt. “Want me to grab us some? I know I need it.”
You managed to giggle, craning your neck to fully look up at Hawks. You swore you could see the slightest quiver in his bottom lip.
“I’d love some.”
“You sure you can stomach shitty coffee?” The thumb rubbed over your collarbone, Keigo’s pretty eyes searching your face, portraying far more than your words. “That’s my territory, angel.”
“I guess I’ll stoop to your taste,” You gave him a smirk like sweet lightning and tentatively, carefully, reached your hand up to wrap around his own, squeezing. “I take my coffee black.”

Six Piles of Rocks in the Deserts of Leide
Miel hadn’t even really thought about while she’d done it. She’d been on a ride, like she did sometimes when she needed fresh air and time to think, and had stopped for a second near the spot where Delta had last appeared to her… when Miel had fully absorbed her soul.
So there was definitely something divine about the spot. But she still wasn’t conscious of that when she clambered off the bike and knelt in the sand, digging for rocks of the appropriate size. She had to stand up and wander around to keep looking.
When she’d found what she was looking for, and enough of them, she settled onto her knees again and began to construct them—six little stacks of rocks.
She didn’t label them, but she knew as she worked which ones were which. As her hands worked, carefully balancing the hard shapes, aligning their curves and bumps so they would stay sturdy even when the weather shook them, they took forms that followed their function.
They were memorials.
Six of them—one set for her parents, one for the in-laws she never had, one for the Glaives her mom had mourned (… so close to losing her brother, too).
As she worked, their names and what she knew of them echoed in her head.
Amador Lux. Dad. Not a single parent, really, but he did a lot of the daily work of raising me when Mom had to work extra. Because they always needed her at the Citadel. But Dad didn’t complain. He just milked the moments he had both his girls with him for all they were worth. Died, I hear, holding my mom. That didn’t save her, of course, and I don’t think he had any hope to. I think he just wanted her close in their last moments.
She moved onto the next one. Bella Lux. Nee Apis. Forsook taking half the Apis estate and building her own home there to work in the Citadel. Used her name and a few connections to get a good job. Was moved right to admin work with the Glaive. Got married, got pregnant, led Cor Leonis through Gralea remotely. Saved Prompto, with me asleep on her lap. Worked hard as she could for the Crown until there was no Crown to work for. Died where she wanted to be and rarely was—in my dad’s arms. Thank the gods I was safe at school.
Now, these next two were harder. So she just let herself think, rather than reflect on the life she knew.
Soleil Argentum. And for that matter, Etoil Argentum. You guys, frankly, sucked, she thought. I’m eternally grateful you adopted the Nif Infant, but you had so many more obligations, other than just getting him out of Cor’s arms, that you failed at. I think if my mom had known you would let things happen the way they did, she would have made Cor keep Prompto. Or she would have taken him herself, and I’d have had two siblings. So how blessed I am he and I found each other anyway. No thanks to you. Thank you, I suppose, for keeping him alive until I could take over and love him how he’s needed to be loved.
The next set was a little easier. At least she’d met them, knew some good things. She realized her thoughts were more like letters to the deceased than obituaries. Funny, since she’d been colder with her own parents.
Carina. Amanitus. You guys were my mom’s favorite glaives to work with. She said you guys never asked for much, didn’t try to push her around, and were just nice. What I knew of you says that’s true, too. You guys did a lot of good work, and I know you were really sorely missed. Especially by my mom. We’d just lost Uncle Oscan and Aunt Lira, and I think Mom felt like she’d lost two brothers and two sisters when the news came in. Delph misses you guys a ton, too. She was so mad when she found Ulixes’s base that she went berserk. At least, that’s what I heard. I’ve been trying to take good care of her, you know. Thank you for raising one of Insomnia’s best fighters and one of my best friends for as long as you could.
She hadn’t realized she was crying until she sat back on her haunches and wiped the still-falling tears from her cheeks. That must have been a Delta thing, because this wasn’t the first time she’d cried without knowing, like a faucet had been turned on behind her eyes. And she was sure it wouldn’t be the last.
She stood up, brushing off her knees, and looked at the six little rock piles, a memorial to the families lost in Insomnia’s Fall, and the lead-up (well, it was years between what happened to the Aurorises and the Fall, but they were linked). Three sets of parents, their children still sticking together even when what had originally tied them together—the jobs their parents held—no longer affected them, no longer were.
Miel thought it fitting. She had taken the weight of the losses off of Prompto and Delph’s hearts, and brought it here to the desert bluffs, where she, where Delta, could set them down and heal the scars.
She got back on the bike and rode home. She’d have to bring flowers for Bella, Carina, and Soleil for Mother’s Day next month.

Valentine’s Day Reads
Happy Valentine’s Day! As I often gripe about badly done romance on this blog, I thought I’d list a few books that actually do it well. Some are classics; some are decidedly not. But I love the love stories in all of them. I tried to cover my bases, and while I won’t say that all of these are all-time favorites for me, they do stick out in my head for their romantic plotlines and the chemistry between the leads. Hopefully, something here will appeal to you.
Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. Scarlett is a spoiled, vivacious southern belle on the eve of the Civil War. She wants Ashley, a gentleman whose romanticism and genteel nature embody the antebellum era they’ve grown up; he’s the one man she can’t have, engaged to his sweet, kindhearted cousin Melanie. As the war begins and becomes increasingly brutal, Scarlett must grow up and become a survivor, pining for Ashley while engaging in a game of wits and and emotion with Rhett, a man whose cynical and opportunist nature makes him a pariah in the south--but perhaps might also make him Scarlett’s true match. The love/hate narrative is really defined by GWTW, which is less a tragedy than it is a coming of age story. Scarlett and Rhett’s chemistry and rightness for each other is undeniable, but held back by the fact that she can’t recognize her own true feelings, committed to an idea rather than reality, and he is too protective of his own feelings to admit that he loves her. GWTW is one of the few “classics” out there that is truly and compulsively readable, and it suggests a lot of Deep Things while at the same time entertaining you with a frustrating, gorgeous romance.
Cinder by Marissa Meyer. Cinder is a cyborg, shunned by society and neglected by her stepmother and stepsister--despite her status as a gifted mechanic. When the stepsister she loves grows fatally ill, she catches the blame, putting her in a precarious position. At the same time, however, she finds herself as the mechanic of none other than Prince Kai, heir to the throne of the Eastern Commonwealth. As Cinder becomes more entwined in political intrigue through Kai, she must also fight her feelings for him, and her lack of self-worth. It’s hard to explain this series without spoiling a lot--and while The Lunar Chronicles is one of my favorites series, I’ll admit that Cinder--though the first book--isn’t my favorite (that honor goes to Scarlet, the second book in the series). But Cinder and Kai have a fantastic, sweet romance that of course draws from Cinderella, as every book in the series draws from a different fairy tale. Yes, there is a lot of sci-fi going on in The Lunar Chronicles, and various space politics, but ultimately, each novel is a love story, and the couples you meet in one book return in the next. (Except for Fairest, the excellent villain origin story prequel, which is an obsession story.) Highly recommend if you’re on the lookout for some fun, romantic YA with a sci-fi spin.
Beauty by Robin McKinley. The awkward Beauty doesn’t much feel like she deserves her nickname, especially when she pales in comparison to her gorgeous sisters. But when her father returns from the castle of a mysterious beats, she rises to the occasion, offering to be the beasts’s prisoner in his place--and determined that she can tame it. Obviously, this is a Beauty and the Beast retelling--but it’s a definitive one. This a slow-burn romance, and the book is as much about Beauty learning to love herself as the beast. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t some excellent moments between the two of them. When you’re looking for something with a bit less heat and a bit more gentle romance, check this out.
When the Moon Was Ours by Anna-Marie McLemore. Miel and Sam are childhood friends, having weathered prejudice--Miel is an immigrant, and Sam is a trans man--together, as well as the strange roses that grow out of Miel’s skin and the attention that attracts. But just after their relationship crosses a line--going from pining to physical--confusing the two of them, the Bonner sisters return to town. Rumored to be witches, they want Miel’s roses, and will do whatever it takes to get them. McLemore is really, really good at magical realism. And there’s a lot of that in this book. But the central story here is Miel and Sam’s relationship, their pasts, and how they’re struggling to come to terms with who they are. The story is both romantic and erotic, and perhaps part of why it feels so incredibly real is that parts of it reflect McLemore’s own life. Whether or not that’s true, however, is irrelevant--it’s impossible to not love her dreamy prose and the intensity of Miel and Sam’s feelings for each other.
Wintersong by S. Jae-Jones. Liesl is underappreciated and in many ways repressed, taking on a lot of responsibility at the family inn. Her sister Kathe is the beautiful one, and her brother Josef, a gifted musician, is the talented one--regardless of the fact that Liesl herself is a driven composer. Ever since they were children, the siblings have been preoccupied with the Goblin King, but though he inspires her music, Liesl has dismissed him as a childhood fancy. Until, that is, Kathe is taken by goblins--and the Goblin King needs a bride. To save her sister, Liesl takes her place as the Goblin Queen. While initially repulsed by the Underground, she becomes enthralled by her new husband’s world, and their shared passion for music. Wintersong is well-written and thoroughly addictive, laced with a kind of erotic intoxication. You fall for the Goblin King as Liesl does; you fall for his world as she does. It’s morally ambiguous and dark and strange, and quite perfect for those who never got over David Bowie in Labyrinth.
A Knight in Shining Armor by Jude Deveraux. Jilted by her self-obsessed boyfriend and left penniless, Dougless asks for a knight in shining armor and gets one--in the form of Nicholas, a medieval knight sent forward in time. Dougless is initially disbelieving, but as she and Nicholas learn about his real legacy--which falls short of what he expected--they gradually fall in love. However, their relationship is cut short by his sudden disappearance, sending Dougless back in time to find him. This is a classic 80s romance novel, and therefore I had to include it. It’s silly; it’s problematic; it has quite a few sex scenes, some of which may or may not involve ice cream. But there’s a kind of purity to its cheese and silliness that is lighthearted and unique to the era.
The Girl in 6E by A.R. Torre. Deanna Madden wants to kill people. So, she stays in her apartment all day, making a living as a cam girl. As a result, she has to have a lot of things delivered to her--prompting the interest of the delivery guy, who just wants to get to know this woman he’s never even seen. Too bad Deanna wants to murder him. Basically, this is an erotic novel; there are a lot a lot a lot of explicit sex scenes, and a few different men who may or may not have a romantic interest in Deanna beyond her body (and if the series continues beyond the three books it’s already had, I wouldn’t be shocked if the author expands upon that). But there’s something sweet about a guy and a girl who really don’t know each other being genuinely intrigued by one another--and the fact that the relationship’s main obstacle is Deanna’s own desire to kill makes it all the more interesting.
The Hating Game by Sally Thorn. Lucy and Josh are work rivals at their publishing company--though “rivals” may be putting it lightly. They loathe each other, regularly taunting one another throughout the day while competing. That competition gets ramped up a notch by a promised promotion that only one of them can get. But as they each struggle for the job, Lucy and Josh begin to realize that the tension between them may not just be professional. The Hating Game is a rom com, but like... a sexy one. There are plenty of UST-filled moments throughout the book. And the great thing is that Josh isn’t an asshole, like most men in these sorts of books are. He doesn’t want to ruin Lucy’s life; he actually seems into her, not into dominating her. If you want something light and lovely and hot, go for The Hating Game.
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. Heathcliff is an orphan, brought to Wuthering Heights by Mr. Earnshaw and raised as a “lesser than” sort of foster child alongside Earnshaw’s children, the abusive Hindley and spirited Cathy. Equally wild, Heathcliff and Cathy become childhood best friends, and their feelings gradually deepen into intense romantic love as they grow up. But Heathcliff is socially unsuitable for the upper-class Cathy, and when she agrees to marry her shy neighbor Linton--while vowing to love Heathcliff forever, out of his earshot--he runs away. When he returns, Heathcliff is wealthy and bent on revenge; but the feelings between himself and Cathy remain, leading two families and multiple generations into ruin. I feel like a lot of people are immediately put off by WH because it’s not told from Heathcliff and Cathy’s perspectives, exactly. In fact, the story is told long after their children have grown up, by Nelly, a housekeeper who observed much of the story’s events, to Lockwood, a visitor to Wuthering Heights. It’s also a really twisted love story--as much of a hate story as anything else. Heathcliff and Cathy resent and adore each other in equal measure. They thwart their own happiness over and over, and both are beasts to those that love them. But this novel is so significant precisely because it shows that two hideous people can love each other--and it conveys a haunting sort of passion that seems almost out of place in a novel of its time. The strain of morality running through Jane Eyre--tempering its subversive plot--isn’t present in Wuthering Heights. Even when the cycle of abuse that consumed Heathcliff and Cathy finally is broken, the people that do so are hardly angels. It’s a sad, angering, obsessive story. But at its core, this is a book about love--and the things both terrible and great that it drives people to.
Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater. As a little girl, Grace was attacked by wolves--and since then has been somewhat obsessed with the yellow-eyed wolf in the woods behind her house. Sam is a wolf in the winter and a boy in the summer, his transformation completely involuntary and based on the temperature. This time, when the weather warms, he finally meets Grace, and they begin a tentative relationship--but if Sam can’t figure out how to stop himself from changing, he runs the risk of becoming a wolf forever, and losing not just Grace but himself. Maggie Stiefvater has become increasingly famous for her Raven Boys series, and don’t get me wrong, I love that series. But I love The Wolves of Mercy Falls more, and not just because it was the first book of hers that I ever read. There’s a lovely approachable, understanding tone to Shiver--her writing is still beautiful and lyrical, but the simplicity of Grace and Sam’s love story set against the backdrop of a complicated, fraught situation is impossible to resist. As the series continues, another very good, contrasting romance is added in--but I can’t really get over how incredibly soft Sam and Grace are, and how much this series feels like young love to me.

Aunque es el segundo que hago, he creído que esta vez sí, esta vez ha quedado presentable para poder enseñaros mi nueva versión, mejorada, del roscón de reyes clásico. Reconozco que era un dulce que no me gustaba mucho, hasta que empecé a hacerlos yo. De sea manera fuí eliminando todo aquello que no me gustaba. Al principio la familia miraba raro mi roscón, pero da la casualidad de que este le pueden comer los intolerantes a la lactosa, por lo que al final ha sido un éxito. Ahora, ¿de dónde viene esta tradición? Parece ser que nada tiene que ver con una tradición religiosa (aunque se trate de un dulce que se toma los días 5 y 6 de enero, con la llegada de los Reyes a adorar a Jesús). Fué en el siglo II a.C. cuando al terminar los trabajos en el campo, se celebraban las "Saturnales", fiesta pagana en la que los esclavos no tenían que trabajar y podían pasar el tiempo de fiesta. Uno de los dulces que se preparaban en dicha fiesta era una torta a base de miel y frutos secos. El "haba" se introdujo en el siglo III, como símbolo de prosperidad y fertilidad. Esta tradición se conservó a lo largo de los años en Francia, gracias a la aristocracia y la realeza. En el siglo XVIII fué cuando se introdujo la "sorpresa", el cocinero de Luis XV introdujo una moneda de oro, para contentar al rey. Así poco a poco, el haba pasó a ser visto de manera negativa...hasta que ahora, si te toca en tu porción, tienes que pagar el "roscón" (el tonto del haba, origen del insulto "tontolaba"). Bueno, el caso es que os guste.
Ingredientes Para el roscón:
500 gr de harina fuerza
270 ml de leche de avena (a temperatura ambiente)
4 cucharaditas de agua de azahar
1 cucharadita de canela en polvo
Ralladura de 1 naranja
Ralladura de 1 limón
30 gr de levadura fresca
70 gr de aceite de oliva virgen extra
90 gr de panela
Para decorar:
Almendras crudas laminadas
Azúcar
Agua de azahar
Receta para roscón de medio kilo Tiempo aproximado de preparación: 3 horas + reposo hasta enfriar. Cómo lo hago:
En el bol de la amasadora (si tenéis, en caso contrario necesitaréis un bol y una espátula para mezclar bien los ingredientes) ponemos el harina tamizada, la canela y las ralladuras del limón y la naranja, el agua de azahar y el azúcar y mezclamos bien con la herramienta de amasar pan.
En otro bol diluímos la levadura fresca con la leche a temperatura ambiente.
Añadimos la leche a los ingredientes secos. Amasamos.
Mientras amasamos, añadimos poco a poco el aceite de oliva. En caso de usar una amasadora, dejaremos que la máquina amase durante unos 10 minutos. En caso de hacerlo "a mano", untamos la superficie de trabajo con un poco de aceite y pasamos la masa a la mesa. Amasamos enérgicamente durante 10 minutos.
Boleamos la masa (es decir, amasamos formando una bola), la pasamos a un bol untado con aceite o en un banetone y la tapamos con film transparente.
Dejamos reposar durante 1 hora en un lugar cálido (o dentro del horno apagado), o hasta que doble su volúmen.
Colocamos papel vegetal sobre la bandeja del horno y preparamos la masa para darle forma de roscón. Para ello metemos un dedo en la masa y vamos estirando, poco a poco, para evitar que se nos rompa. Recordad que la masa va a volver a levar, es decir, el hueco que vais a dejar va a mermar considerablemente. En esta vídeo-receta de María Lunarillos podéis ver como se amasa y como se forma el agujero central.
Tapamos con film transparente y dejamos reposar en el horno (apagado) hasta que doble su volúmen (al menos media hora).
Sacamos la masa y precalentamos el horno a 200ºC.
Con mucho cuidado y en la parte de abajo colocamos el haba y el regalo del roscón.
Decoramos el roscón a nuestro gusto. Como a mi no me gustan las frutas escarchadas, no las he puesto en la receta, pero cada uno, a su gusto. Yo le pongo almendras laminadas crudas y azúcar empapado en agua de azahar. Para que todo esto se pegue en el roscón tenemos que preparar un almíbar con agua y azúcar y "pintar" el roscón con él.
Horneamos durante 20 minutos a 200ºC calor arriba y abajo.
Enfriar sobre rejilla.
Se puede consumir así o lo podéis rellenar de vuetra crema favorita: trufa, nata vegana, crema pastelera vegana...a vuestro gusto. ¡A disfrutar! Truco: para trabajar con las manos las masas tipo pan, es mejor mojarlas con aceite de oliva, así evitaremos que se nos quede pegada a los dedos.
Ingredients For the "Roscón":
17,6 Oz of strong flour
270 ml of oats milk (at room temperature)
4 teaspoons of orange blossom water
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1 lemon zest
1 orange zest
1 Oz of fresh yeast
2,5 Oz of extra virgin olive oil
3 Oz of panela
To decorate:
Laminated raw almonds
Sugar
Orange blossom water
Recipe for half kilo "roscón". Approximate preparation time: 3 hours + rest until cooling. How do i do it:
In the bowl of the mixer (if you have, otherwise it will need a bowl and spatula to mix ingredients) put the sifted flour, cinnamon and zests of lemon and orange, orange blossom water and sugar and mix well with bread kneading tool.
In another bowl we dilute the fresh yeast with the milk at room temperature.
Add the milk to the dry ingredients. Knead.
While we knead, we add the olive oil little by little. If using a mixer, let the machine knead for about 10 minutes. In case of doing it "by hand", we grease the work surface with a little oil and we pass the dough to the table. We knead vigorously for 10 minutes.
We roll the dough (that is, we knead it into a ball), we pass it to a bowl greased with oil and cover it with transparent film.
Let it rest for 1 hour in a warm place (or inside the oven off), or until it doubles its volume.
Place baking papel on the baking tray and prepare the dough to make it into a "roscón". To do this we put a finger in the dough and we stretch, little by little, to prevent it from breaking. Remember that the dough is going to rise again, that is, the hole you are going to leave is going to shrink considerably. In this video-recipe of Maria Lunarillos you can see how it is kneaded and how the central hole is formed.
Cover with transparent film and let stand in the oven (off) until it doubles its volume (at least half an hour).
Remove the dough and preheat the oven to 200ºC.
Very carefully and on the bottom we place the "bean" and the "gift" of the "roscón".
We decorate the roscón to our liking. Since I do not like candied fruits, I have not put them in the recipe, but each one to your liking. I put raw rolled almonds and sugar soaked in orange blossom water. So that all this sticks in the "roscón" we have to prepare a syrup with water and sugar and "paint" the "roscón" with it.
Bake for 20 minutes at 200ºC heat up and down.
Cool on grid.
You can eat it like this or you can fill it with your favorite cream: truffle, vegan cream, vegan pastry cream. Enjoy!
Tip: to work with the hands the dough type bread, it is better to wet them with olive oil, this way we will avoid that it stays stuck to our fingers.

Marine Ice Maker Experts Discuss Why the Youth Today Aren't Buying Boats
Your Marine Ice Maker Professionals Share Ideas That Can Help Younger Ones to Get Into Boating
Raritan Engineering yourmarine ice makersspecialists would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding why the youth today are not buying boats.
Your marine ice makers distributors talk about how millennials participate in boating at similar rates to their parents, yet they're far less likely to actually own a boat. Why? Here's a millennial's perspective.
Former Bain & Co. management consultant, millennial Fiona McGlynn, is on a sailing sabbatical with her husband, Robin.
My husband, Robin, and I had often discussed this question. Having become first-time boat owners only five years before, at ages 24 and 29, we were often the only identifiable 20-somethings at our silver-haired yacht club. Over the next few years, as we immersed ourselves in life on the water, we began to meet other millennial boaters, a handful of young salts who shared our passion.
Of course, the numbers surrounding boat ownership don't paint the entire picture. Lost in these figures are the young boaters who use their parents' boats, charter a boat for the day, or ride-along with friends.
I began to wonder what had caused this shift. Why don't more millennials own boats? Here's what millennial boaters and industry analysts said.
Financial strain came up as the number-one challenge for the young boaters we interviewed. As Mike Provance, a 36-year-old powerboater from Coal City, Illinois, noted, Cost is the big factor, but it's not just the boat. It's my truck, maintenance, fuel. It's worth it. But it adds up.
Keith Raycraft(36, Alberta, 16 Thunder Bolt bass boat) has lived on the water his whole life and pursued a career as a marine-engine technician. For Keith, family comes first. To me it's all about making memories with my daughter. When I was a kid, I couldn't wait for the weekend so my dad could take me to the island. I want that to be the same for her!
Getting Greasy And Sailing Anxiety
Ashley Banes(26, Iowa, 186 Hawk Sport) grew up powerboating with her dad on a 22-foot Mach 1 on the Mississippi River. Today she and her husband own a 186 Hawk Sport that allows them to take their 2-year-old out to fish, visit sandbars, and anchor out on weekends.
Guillaume Beaudoin(34, Quebec, C&C 24). Guillaume has a C&C 24 that he shares with a few friends in Montreal. He is also a filmmaker and is currently boat-hiking his way from Panama throughout the South Pacific, documenting community-driven ocean-conservation projects.
Check us out at Raritan Engineering, where we havethe best marine ice makerin town.
Jimmy Palmer(36, New York, 311 Formula) started small, but has come to love the big go-fast boats and people associated with them. I enjoy going to charity fun runs, poker runs, and even just throwing anchor for a good day with friends. For the uninitiated, a poker run is a gathering of high-performance boats where each participating boat navigates a carefully charted course, stopping at five checkpoints along the route to pick up a sealed envelope containing a single playing card.
What's The Future Of Boating?
The appeal of boating transcends age, and 20- to 39-year-olds love boating for the same reasons their parents did. They see it as an opportunity to socialize, create family memories and adventures, and unplug from work.
Ian Drogin(28, California, Bavaria 44), along with his brother and three friends, recently completed a six-week sailing and climbing adventure in the Aegean Sea where they tackled several limestone crags in the Greek Islands. They chartered a Bavaria 44, Hellenic Sky, which served as base camp for their trip.
Mark Miele and Eden Yelland(37/34, British Columbia, 36 Universal Europa Sedan) live aboard their 36-foot trawler,Halcyon I, part-time and regularly coastal cruise in the Pacific Northwest. In 2015, the couple left their jobs and voyaged from Victoria to La Paz, Mexico.
How To Help Get Young People Out On The Water
Fellow Boaters
Share your knowledge.Experienced boaters make a big difference by offering advice, hands-on help, and encouragement.
Emphasize safety.A frightening experience on the water can put a newbie off boating. If you see a green boater (or anyone really) doing something that sets off alarm bells, be a friend and take the time to help, gently pointing out a safer approach.
Introduce a young person to boating.Do you have any millennial family, friends, or work colleagues with whom you enjoy spending time? Offer them an afternoon out on the water. Help them catch the boating bug.
'Airbnb for boats' startup Boatsetterbuys competitorBoatbound
Boatsetter will be taking select talent from Boatbound plus logistics tech and its inventory of vessels for rental.A source familiar with the transaction said the acquisition was paid for with Boatsetter stock valued in the low-millions range.
The deal makes Boatsetter the biggest peer-to-peer boat rental service in the States, and possibly the world.
To fund future acquisitions of other competitors, Boatsetter also is announcing it has added $4.75 million in funding to its December 2016 Series A round, bringing the startup to a total of $17.75 million raised.
Everyone's a captain
Boatbound launched back in 2013, well before Boatsetter, and raised more than $5 million from 500 Startups, equity crowdfunding platforms and boat manufacturer Brunswick.
Boatbound quieted down since moving from San Francisco to Seattle 2016 to cut costs and push towards profitability. Now the nationally available service is somewhat oddly being acquired by a competitor that was only operating in one state.
The combined company hopes things will sail smoothly thanks to Boatbound's technology for routing rental requests and Boatsetter's focus on insurance.
Based out of Florida, Boatsetter is a three-party marketplace where private boat owners and professional charter companies, captains and renters meet. Users can pick from nearby boats, rent one with a captain attached or pick a separate captain, and quickly get out on the water at an affordable price.
Baumgarten actually started a peer-to-peer boating insurance company called Cruzin that later merged with Boatsetter. That's how Boatsetter provides $1 million in liability coverage, $2 million in boat damage coverage, plus additional umbrella coverage to make renters feel safe.
Experience > possession
Now the 27-person startup has a new channel to chase the estimated $50 billion yearly total addressable market for boat rentals. Boatsetter has partnered with Airbnb's new experiences platform to let people pay to learn to sail in the San Francisco Bay, take a lesson from a pro wakeboarder in Miami or have paella cooked fresh onboard by a chef in Barcelona.
Boatsetter's biggest challenge will be developing awareness. Most people assume they need a ton of money or boating skills to get out on the water. But the world is shifting from a materialistic culture to an experiential culture. It's why Airbnb is blowing up.
People want to do amazing things they can capture on their camera phones and share on their social networks. They want memories. And it's hard to top gliding over the waves with friends on your own private boat even if it's just for the afternoon.
So don't forget these pointers when trying to encourage young ones to get back into boating. 1) Share your knowledge and experiences with them; 2) always be safety conscious; and 3) take them out on an afternoon trip on the water.

Marine Ice Maker Experts Discuss Why the Youth Today Aren't Buying Boats
Your Marine Ice Maker Professionals Share Ideas That Can Help Younger Ones to Get Into Boating
Raritan Engineering yourmarine ice makersspecialists would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding why the youth today are not buying boats.
Your marine ice makers distributors talk about how millennials participate in boating at similar rates to their parents, yet they're far less likely to actually own a boat. Why? Here's a millennial's perspective.
Former Bain & Co. management consultant, millennial Fiona McGlynn, is on a sailing sabbatical with her husband, Robin.
My husband, Robin, and I had often discussed this question. Having become first-time boat owners only five years before, at ages 24 and 29, we were often the only identifiable 20-somethings at our silver-haired yacht club. Over the next few years, as we immersed ourselves in life on the water, we began to meet other millennial boaters, a handful of young salts who shared our passion.
Of course, the numbers surrounding boat ownership don't paint the entire picture. Lost in these figures are the young boaters who use their parents' boats, charter a boat for the day, or ride-along with friends.
I began to wonder what had caused this shift. Why don't more millennials own boats? Here's what millennial boaters and industry analysts said.
Financial strain came up as the number-one challenge for the young boaters we interviewed. As Mike Provance, a 36-year-old powerboater from Coal City, Illinois, noted, Cost is the big factor, but it's not just the boat. It's my truck, maintenance, fuel. It's worth it. But it adds up.
Keith Raycraft(36, Alberta, 16 Thunder Bolt bass boat) has lived on the water his whole life and pursued a career as a marine-engine technician. For Keith, family comes first. To me it's all about making memories with my daughter. When I was a kid, I couldn't wait for the weekend so my dad could take me to the island. I want that to be the same for her!
Getting Greasy And Sailing Anxiety
Ashley Banes(26, Iowa, 186 Hawk Sport) grew up powerboating with her dad on a 22-foot Mach 1 on the Mississippi River. Today she and her husband own a 186 Hawk Sport that allows them to take their 2-year-old out to fish, visit sandbars, and anchor out on weekends.
Guillaume Beaudoin(34, Quebec, C&C 24). Guillaume has a C&C 24 that he shares with a few friends in Montreal. He is also a filmmaker and is currently boat-hiking his way from Panama throughout the South Pacific, documenting community-driven ocean-conservation projects.

Jimmy Palmer(36, New York, 311 Formula) started small, but has come to love the big go-fast boats and people associated with them. I enjoy going to charity fun runs, poker runs, and even just throwing anchor for a good day with friends. For the uninitiated, a poker run is a gathering of high-performance boats where each participating boat navigates a carefully charted course, stopping at five checkpoints along the route to pick up a sealed envelope containing a single playing card.
What's The Future Of Boating?
The appeal of boating transcends age, and 20- to 39-year-olds love boating for the same reasons their parents did. They see it as an opportunity to socialize, create family memories and adventures, and unplug from work.
Ian Drogin(28, California, Bavaria 44), along with his brother and three friends, recently completed a six-week sailing and climbing adventure in the Aegean Sea where they tackled several limestone crags in the Greek Islands. They chartered a Bavaria 44, Hellenic Sky, which served as base camp for their trip.
Mark Miele and Eden Yelland(37/34, British Columbia, 36 Universal Europa Sedan) live aboard their 36-foot trawler,Halcyon I, part-time and regularly coastal cruise in the Pacific Northwest. In 2015, the couple left their jobs and voyaged from Victoria to La Paz, Mexico.
How To Help Get Young People Out On The Water
Fellow Boaters
Share your knowledge.Experienced boaters make a big difference by offering advice, hands-on help, and encouragement.
Emphasize safety.A frightening experience on the water can put a newbie off boating. If you see a green boater (or anyone really) doing something that sets off alarm bells, be a friend and take the time to help, gently pointing out a safer approach.
Introduce a young person to boating.Do you have any millennial family, friends, or work colleagues with whom you enjoy spending time? Offer them an afternoon out on the water. Help them catch the boating bug.
'Airbnb for boats' startup Boatsetterbuys competitorBoatbound
Boatsetter will be taking select talent from Boatbound plus logistics tech and its inventory of vessels for rental.A source familiar with the transaction said the acquisition was paid for with Boatsetter stock valued in the low-millions range.
The deal makes Boatsetter the biggest peer-to-peer boat rental service in the States, and possibly the world.
To fund future acquisitions of other competitors, Boatsetter also is announcing it has added $4.75 million in funding to its December 2016 Series A round, bringing the startup to a total of $17.75 million raised.
Everyone's a captain
Boatbound launched back in 2013, well before Boatsetter, and raised more than $5 million from 500 Startups, equity crowdfunding platforms and boat manufacturer Brunswick.
Boatbound quieted down since moving from San Francisco to Seattle 2016 to cut costs and push towards profitability. Now the nationally available service is somewhat oddly being acquired by a competitor that was only operating in one state.
The combined company hopes things will sail smoothly thanks to Boatbound's technology for routing rental requests and Boatsetter's focus on insurance.
Based out of Florida, Boatsetter is a three-party marketplace where private boat owners and professional charter companies, captains and renters meet. Users can pick from nearby boats, rent one with a captain attached or pick a separate captain, and quickly get out on the water at an affordable price.
Baumgarten actually started a peer-to-peer boating insurance company called Cruzin that later merged with Boatsetter. That's how Boatsetter provides $1 million in liability coverage, $2 million in boat damage coverage, plus additional umbrella coverage to make renters feel safe.
