Through Me (The Flood) - secret baby fic Simon Riley / female reader

You have no idea Simon’s rented a flat the next block over.

It’s the quickest walk, from your place to his, and he makes it frequently, especially at night.

You don’t know he stands in the shadow of a tree, waiting for your lights to flick on and off. On, and off, all night long.

Orion keeps you up, he knows without a doubt now. The tired eyes and tired smile you gave him the other day when he fixed the washer filled him with shame, miserable and scalding, a burn searing across his heart.

He gave you a baby, and then disappeared.

He estimates you get up every three hours. The dim, muted light from your bedroom window flickers alive, and then the living room follows shortly after.

If he was there, things would be different. He’d get up with Ry, get him tucked into bed beside you, snuggled up to your breast. He’d rub the apple of your cheek to gently wake you, just enough so you’d know what’s going on, but not enough to truly open your eyes. You would trust him, trust him to take care of you, and the baby, trust that he’s there. You’d be half asleep as he pulled your tank top down and helped Orion latch, half asleep when Simon turned you in the bed so the baby could switch, Simon’s chest warm at your back, his hand holding Orion steady. He’d stay awake and vigilant until he was done eating, burped, changed, and settled back into his crib. He’d kiss you afterwards, long and sweet, and then press his nose to your hair and breathe deeply, before waking up to do it all over again in three hours.

It’s all a fantasy, a secret dream he’s built and tucked away in his mind-

but it will all be real. Soon.

He starts with a dinner.

It’s around six when he strolls up to your front door. He’s got two orders of takeaway fish and chips, a favorite of yours (he remembers) and a strawberry mango smoothie (he’s not sure if you like these or not, if he’s being honest, but he knows nutrition is important right now. The internet says you’re burning a lot of calories, but you also need more sustenance and nutrient rich foods.)

You’re surprised to see him, when you open the door, too big sweatshirt rolled up at the sleeves, ratty shorts raw hemmed between your legs. He enjoys the way your thighs touch, how they press together, and remembers them as warm and soft. He’s (not so secretly, based on your first night together) pleased by your body. Soft and sweet and curved, but strong too, strong enough you made him a baby, to be a home to his son. And to him.

His favorite little kitten.

Your eyebrows crease together achingly slow as you take him in, and the spot the takeaway bag. You point to it, small smile twisting your lips. “You brought me food?”

“Need ta make sure you’re eatin’ enough.” He grunts, and then steps closer, crosses the threshold, herding you inside with a hand on your hip. He does a preliminary sweep of the flat, and then sets the bag and smoothie on your kitchen counter. “Baby asleep?”

“Just went down.” You sigh, leaning backward against the cool tile. “Was really fightin’ it today. I’m hoping he’ll sleep for more than the usual two, three hours he’s been getting.” Your head tips back into the cabinet, exposing the vulnerable marrow of your throat, and you roll, glancing at the plastic cup filled with cold pink slime. “And a smoothie?” He chuckles.

“Wasn’t sure ah, if you liked ‘em or not but… it looked good.” You glance at your feet, sweet smile shyly peeking at him.

“Thank you.” You whisper. Your voice is thick, trembling on the last vowel, and his stomach pitches. “It’s… really nice of you, Simon. To bring me food. I…” you glance up, eyes full of tears, and he’s drawn towards you like a magnet. “It was really hard today.” Your voice cracks.

“Hey, hey, it’s okay.” He tugs you into his chest, palm stroking slowly over the back of your head. “I know it is, mama. I know. It’s okay.”

“It’s not.” You sniffle against him. “It’s s-so hard, and I’m like… I’m not even a human- I’m j-just like a milk machine and I can’t sleep and can’t leave this flat. I feel like I’m failing, like I’m doing everything wrong and I’m leaking and I-“

“Okay, shhhh. It’s okay.” His arms tighten around you, nose skimming along the top of your head. “I’ve got you, c’mere.” He cradles your cheeks, tilting you upwards to look at him. “You’re not failing, you’re doing a great job. Orion is safe, and happy, and healthy. You’re healthy, and safe,” he wipes the tear rolling down your cheek. “and we’ll work on the happy part.” He takes a deep breath. “‘m gonna take some leave, be around for a bit. I’ll be here, to help.”

“You don’t have-“

“I want to be here sweetheart. I wish I had been here all along.” He’s earnest in his plea and hopes you can see, all the things he wants to give you, all the things he’ll do. The space in his heart he’s carved away for you, for Ry. The aching sore spot under his ribs that stings when he’s away from you. “Alright? I’ll be right here.” He pulls your hand into his, and then up to his face, dotting his lips across your palm, promise whispered away into your skin. “I’m right here, mama. I’m going to take care of you, of both of you, okay?” You close your eyes, take a deep breath.

“Okay.”

You know what would be really funny. If Jason had the most normal/conventional food taste out of his siblings (still very far from regular people’s “normal”), he’s stuck in the manor because of an injury and therefore has to witness the culinary WAR CRIMES his siblings consume for sustenance. Since there’s no Alfred to stop them anymore, they have been running rampant.

Jason: What. The fuck. Is that.

Damian, pouring out a green sludge into two cups: father and I’s breakfast smoothie, or did you hit your head hard enough to forget the concept of a smoothie?

Jason, scooting his chair away clutching his water bottle to his chest: yeah I dont know what nuclear reactive, Gotham harbour concoction you so flagrantly bestow the title of “smoothie” on but keep that shit FAR away from me

Tim: *sits down next to Jason, cracks open a can of energy drink and pours it into a glass, pouring milk on top until it reaches the brim*

Jason, with tears in his eyes looking at Dick for help:

Dick: *shrugs, shoving a fistful of dry cheerios into his mouth*

Jason: *turns his horrified gaze to Cass*

Cass: *grins at him toothily with two heaping plates of a full English breakfast sitting in front of her. He has no idea where she got it from. She is using a set of utensils for each plate.*

Jason: *stands up calmly* maybe I should stop looking for the unstable bomb I lost in the manor the other week *walks out of the kitchen, a few moments later a shrill scream is heard*

starting ur fitness girlie era⋆.ೃ࿔*:･🌷

starting ur fitness girlie era is actually super easy! its consistency and discipline where most ppl struggle. i hope this post can help make the sustenance of ur fitness girlie era super easy and fun + some fun working out resources to start ✨

FOR CLARITY ;

when starting anything, the most important thing, although cliche is starting from a place of love rather then hate. it feels better and is more sustainable in the long run.

be clear on your goals for ur fitness girlie era. is this something that u wanna maintain in ur day to day life for general health? do you wanna gain/lose some weight? do you just wanna be stronger?

knowing what ur trying to achieve makes finding workouts that target your goal specifically more easy (the more specific the better)

WHERE DOES NUTRITION COME INTO PLAY ;

you should be fueling ur body properly in order for ur body to function well when ur in ur fitness girlie era. if ur goal for example is to gain weight but u notice that u have a habit to eat very little, make a log.

WIEIAD LOG (NUTRITION CONTINUED) ;

i started a what i eat in a day log for a couple reasons. one bcuz i love lists and documenting things about myself, and two bcuz i wanted to make sure that i was eating well and eating good quality foods. bcuz i notice that when i eat well -> i feel well.

eat to fuel your body, dont eat just to eat

include fresh foods

make sure that you eat healthy portions (calling four almonds a meal is NOT healthy, and calling six pizza pies a meal is NOT healthy)

overall just be mindful of what u decide to fuel your body with. an easy drink that helps to be mindful with what u fuel ur body with is with SMOOTHIES.

im so sick of ppl sleeping on smoothies cuz if u dont like to directly eat vegetables or if u want an easy way to intake fresh fruits and veggies smoothies are the way to GO.

ROMANTICIZATION ;

the fun part of the whole journey, romanticization. made a pinterest board for ur fitness journey aesthetic and make it super pretty. invest in cute workout clothes to motivate urself to workout.

formulate a playlist for ur workout, something that gives u energy and motivates you. find a workout class or a youtube channel that you love. dont make working out BORING. get a workout buddy, make some video diary entries about working out/ur workout for the day.

make a blog that records whatever workout that u did. find fun ways to work out, like dancing or going on hot girl walks. create an atmosphere where u can work out and treat the time that u spend working out as a time to nurture and nourish your body.

PATIENCE AND PERSISTENCE ;

motivation isnt going to get u through a sustainable fitness girl journey, motivation can only get you so far. its DISCIPLINE that gets you the results that you want and consistency.

be patient with yourself even if u fall off ur routine and grind, ur only human so let yourself live. as long as you dont make falling off a habit, you'll be okay.

make sure that u emphasize the mind -> body connection bcuz thats super important. working out is not just about working up a sweat; it's about connecting with your body and embracing the mind-body connection.

FUN AND EFFECTIVE WAYS TO WORKOUT ;

le sserafim workout - i've done the le sserafim workout once or twice and it absolutely destroyed me 💀 but in a good way. its challenging but its also rly effective so i recommend.

dancing - if ur into dancing, find a way of dancing that u enjoy to do. some examples include ; ballet, kpop dances, jazz etc

join a sport - join a sport with a friend to make it more fun! but theres lots of different sports that u can play and not only is it good for ur health, but its also super fun

Many penguin species huddle together in massive colonies, but pairs of yellow-eyed penguins go out of their way to be alone, nesting deep in New Zealand’s scrublands and forests out of sight of other penguins. When pairs reunite at the nest after one has been away fishing, they greet each other with a piercing cry that Thor Elley, an endangered avian species researcher at the University of Otago with Māori roots, likens to “a whistling tea kettle rolling down a hill.” The species’ Māori name, hoiho, roughly translates to “noise shouter.” 

Screaming and antisocial behavior may not seem like beloved traits, but these penguins are revered in Māori culture as taonga, or treasure, even gracing the country’s $5 bill. They are “protected by sacred origins,” Elley says.

But one of New Zealand’s favorite endemic birds is also one of its rarest. The International Union for Conservation of Nature estimates that only between 2,600 and 3,000 hoiho exist. About a third live on New Zealand’s South Island and nearby Stewart Island. The rest inhabit sub-Antarctic islands some 300 miles to the south. In the past 15 years, the northern population has plummeted by roughly 75 percent, and researchers expect that group could disappear within the next two decades if the trend continues. 

The decline stems from a litany of factors. Red cod, once a pillar of the hoiho diet, has become scarce, and blue cod, although larger, are harder to catch, eat and feed to their chicks than other staple fish. Penguins also drown each year in commercial gillnets. And a pair of diseases, avian diphtheria and, since 2019, a mysterious and fatal respiratory illness, also infect virtually every chick. Janelle Wierenga, a veterinary scientist at the University of Otago and Massey University, says potential vaccines and drugs are likely years away. 

To keep the species afloat, wildlife hospitals and conservation groups have taken the radical step of removing every single hoiho chick on the South Island from its nest and placing it in human care for its first week or so of life. Chicks are treated with antibiotics to heal the mouth sores caused by avian diphtheria. They’re also fed fish smoothies to boost their strength. It’s unclear how, but this extra care prevents chicks from developing the respiratory disease. “I’ve got the feeling that the diseases are a secondary problem, and the primary problem is the penguins don’t get the sustenance they need,” says Thomas Mattern, an ecologist at the University of Otago. 

In 2023, the Dunedin Wildlife Hospital hand-reared 214 hoiho chicks. Without human intervention, 50 to 70 percent of those chicks would have died, Lisa Argilla, the hospital’s senior wildlife veterinarian and director, estimates. But these herculean efforts can only offer a short-term reprieve. “We are trying to buy this population as much time as we can,” she says. “You feel like you’re fighting a losing battle, but we couldn’t live with ourselves if we didn’t fight for these penguins.”

He deserves more than white bread. I come from an upbringing that spews the notion that it’s okay to be the loudest one in the room, to nag, to scream at your husband, to be rude and disrespectful to men and to expect them to consistently bend over backwards for you. To do everything themselves. To go hungry because it’s more convenient. I reject this. I detest it. Watching my father sit silent, take the constant bullshit and never be valued taught me a lot. How much I didn’t want to be a woman who caused that, and how I didn’t want a man like that.

I want a man who is strong and capable. Who is stable and who I lift up every day. Who I will clean and cook and serve every day. He knows I am an extension of him and will be the servant he needs to have each day be as peaceful as it can be. The same way he leads and takes away the final decisions so I can have peace, I take away the chores at home so he can have peace. I am lucky that this man is not a fantasy, he is my owner and I sleep in his bed. This is our life.

He knows he will wake up to a fully packed lunch box every day - and not just a soggy white bread sandwich thrown into a bag with no thought, a real sandwich with different toppings and spreads, and good quality bread. Or a big bowl of chili or soup. Or pasta. Different chips everyday. Homemade protein bars, cookies, brownies. A fresh smoothie every morning. Because he deserves to have thought and quality put into his day working hard for us. He needs sustenance for his 10-12 hour shifts doing manual labor. He’s deserves more than just white bread.

He will come home to me kneeling at the door every evening. Dinner will be on the table at 7:30pm sharp (his choice of time). He will have his clothes laid out for him. He will have the freedom to relax when he is home. He will instruct me. Mold me. Teach me. Guide me. He will discipline me if needed. He will never take an ounce of disobedience or disrespect in his home. There will never be screaming. He will never be a doormat.

and that’s why he deserves more than white bread.

hole diet

•there's always been a hole in you, you've never been a whole, entire person so you don't need as much as one for sustenance

•listen to hole music, feel your rage and transform it into motivation

•wear outfits that match courtney's, whether they are a nirvana t-shirt and jeans or a long silk dress

•you're a rockstar! practice an instrument or learn musical theory, do anything you find is linked with music

you wake up in your messy room, in a large tshirt which makes you feel small and frail, so you have breakfast to give your tiny frame strength: a protein bar (max 200 cal) and lemon water(max 10 cal)

time passes and as you live through this yet another day, and so you get slightly hungry, so you have a smoothie(max 200 cal) to satisfy your sweet tooth once again

as dinnertime is nearing, you've had a really productive day as a rockstar, so you reward yourself with a piece of cake(max 400 cal) with tea(max 10 cal)

as a bedtime snack, you have another glass of lemon water(max 10 cal).

a decent diet for people with a sweet tooth if u ask me ;)

[you-hate-time-travel]

idk if anyone asked this before. sci fi au troll facts =:333 like xenobiology wise, grins

and are there caraps and leprechauns too? (i dont remember if u mentioned that either but just curious. i would love to hear yer rambles,,,smiles)

HIIIIIII HIIIIII OH MY GOD HELLOOOOOOOOOOO THIS IS THE PERFECT QUESTION HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(WARNING: Parasites, Weird bug babies, Culling mention, talk of blood and blood-drinking.)

Trolls:

> Fuchsia is actually a mutation just like cherry red! This has been hypothesized by one or two people in-universe, resulting in swift culling.

> Trolls have three stages:

Wriggler, the little caterpillar thingies,

Juvenile, what most of the trolls we see in canon are,

and the Adult stage.

They pupate between each stage! Troll wrigglers get really, REALLY big before they pupate. They emerge as little kiddy trolls, equivalent in body and mind to a four-year-old human. The adult pupation happens at around 18-21 years old, and is considered the legal age of adulthood!

The trolls pupate in the caverns and then fight their way out to find a lusus.

> Trolls actually retain those pincers they have in wrigglerhood - That's what their fangs are! After their adult molt, they start to slowly turn orange. Chahut Maenad's "fangs" have prematurely turned very orange. Like how some people get gray hairs in their twenties.

> Rainbow drinkers, i.e. trolls reanimated by a hemophagous parasite, adapt these pincers to make wounds to drink blood from easily. The troll can still digest at least some sustenance other than troll blood, though the blood is what keeps the reanimating worm alive. These days, you can keep the worm satiated with blood-imitating drinks/sludges/smoothies that give them the nutrients they need.

> They have five digits on their hands and feet, just like us, Except that they have two thumbs, one on each side of their hand.

For the second question...

YES!!!!!

Carapacian exiles arrived over 60 years ago on Earth, also known as Terra in non-Earth languages, and a relatively short time ago the Incipisphere Wars were ended for good.

Leprechauns are a very freshly contacted species, with very few living outside their homeworld. A fair few people have never even heard of them.

As an extra, Consorts!!! They are four sophonts from the same planet, and were contacted around 30 years ago.

(And a very special shoutout to the blog Xenobiologist For Hire, and especially XFH's Rainbow Drinker post.)

Piers was still sleeping in the bedroom, but the alarm would be going off at any minute now.

Two hours ago she had urged him to nap, noticing a decline in his health from lack of sleep, and nutrients. Right now she had a smoothie of sorts ready for him, and one for herself as well. They would both be needing sustenance, with him being malnourished due to stress and bad habits, and her feeding for two.

She had told him right before they fell asleep about the news she found out about six weeks back. If everything went well, she could probably keep it hidden for another couple of weeks. And she didn't want everyone knowing just yet. Her and her boyfriend needed to discuss some things first.

She really wished she could drink, the sound of the alarm and Piers yawning awake bringing new anxiety.

[bronko-plz-no]

Ben pretending to be Attenborough: And here we see a wild Rook Blonko looking for his next meal, silently approaching the Mr Smoothies and locking eyes with the cashier.

Rook, visibly annoyed: Ben can you stop that?

Ben: It seems my presence has startled the predator, I must hide from public view to not become it's next target.

Rook: *sigh* Can I have some chilli fries and two smoothies?

Ben: The apex predator displays his desire for sustenance, the cashier is typing numbers into the register and both exchange a few words.

Rook: *angrily stares at ben while he gives the cashier money*

Ben: The exchange has been completed and it seems the predator is now aiming towards me, I must escape before it will try and capture me.

Rook: *eats the fries while watching Ben trying to hide in another bush*

[siljaspence]

who: @genuptoncrane where: the juicery when: between thanksgiving and winter break

if someone took the famed hailey bieber smoothie and expanded it into an entire shop, it would be the juicery. not that silja had had it before. she hadn't even initially planned on stopping in, but a day of getting acquainted with the goings-on near campus had her dying for sustenance. she'd only intended to be out an hour or so—and that was three hours ago.

silja pulled her sunglasses up to rest on her head as she stepped inside, severely underestimating the length of the line and immediately bumping into someone. "shit," she muttered under her breath, glancing down for any damage out of habit before looking up at the other. "sorry. didn't expect a juice bar to be this packed. in winter." never mind the fact that she'd come inside under the same conditions.

[eldritchmochi]

this weekend the high temp will be a whopping 22 degrees fahrenheit. my work husband crush is 5'10 and wears a 28 pant, and not only is he ill equiped for weather like this, but hes also somehow worse at eating than me so hes consuming smoothies as his sustenance

my gf says i should tell him that he hasnt earned the right to call me "mom" yet but i have already threatened to spank him without directly threatening to spank him so im not going to also tease him about a mommy kink

even if hes a brat lmao

[neoglowratz]

some days my stomach simply does not stomach

so here i am hungry but unable to even swallow solids without getting sick

so what do i do? make smoothie soup and a cup of lemon tea caus i know i need sustenance and id rather stick to just liquids than keep getting sick tonight
