#the candles look like they're dissolving

[flicker-away]

TRICK OR TREAT 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🕷🕷🕷🕷

EHEHEHEHEH HAPPY HALLOWEEN

[teaboot]

One of the best parts about working at a sex shop is the employee discount, and yeah that means excellent deals on sex supplies but that's not the big brain part.

You come to my house. Something is cooking in the kitchen- it smells wonderful. What is it? It's novelty dick-shaped pasta. I've set up a sensual sexy Italian dinner. There are candles set up on the table. They're melting too fast, dripping everywhere- they're low temp waxplay pillar candles. For dessert, I serve you a delicious ice cream topped in penis-shaped rainbow confetti sprinkles and strawberry body paint drizzle, and afterwards, serve coffee with roasted hazelnut warming lube.

We play a board game while we drink. It's sexy monopoly. It's your turn. You roll the dice. They come up as 'whisper into' and 'butt'. I lost the original dice. We're using the sexy dice. You move four spaces.

After dinner, I run you a bath. A bubble bath. The bubble gel? Sensual ocean breeze. There are candles lined up around the tub. The scent is overpowering. Why? They're three-in-one fruit flavored massage oil candles. I'm using so much. It's so wasteful. Do you want to shave? I have conditioning shave cream that smells like limes. And an electric body razor, but you can't use that in the tub.

How about a bath bomb? You toss one in. It's cherry blossom scented. As it dissolves, three sexy bath sex suggestion cards fall out. They're all variations on doggy style, probably because fucking in a bathtub is probably the easiest way to break your hip.

The water cools. You get out an dry off with a novelty towel. If you wrap it around your chest, it looks like you have gigantic tatas bursting through the fabric like the Hulk.

You walk into the bedroom. I'm there, reading an instructional book titled "The Housewife's Guide To Every Day Stripping". I'm wearing a neck pillow designed to look like a massive curved weiner. Also a pair of fake leather bondage leggings and an oversized men's christmas T-shirt that says "Jingle My Bells" across the front.

I see you come in. I put down the book, take off the pillow. Offer you a massage. You accept. I already burned up all the massage candles so I pop a new bottle of CBD massage oil that says something wrong about Chakras on it. It's very gritty. That's because there's little chunks of amethyst in it for some fucking reason. It's fine, though. You say you don't mind.

I don't do massages very often. It's bad. You end up more tense than before. One of your muscles starts to cramp- it's okay. I whip out a bottle of Lidocane topical masculine performance numbing spray. You immediately feel like your shoulder went to the dentist. It's not ideal, but it's better than cramping.

You're not in the mood to bone after that. Which is good, cause I'm actually pretty asexual, but it hasn't come up yet so I'm relieved to avoid the conversation. Instead we get ready for bed. (The weather is terrible, and I insist you stay over.) I set up the futon, then realize it smells like cigarettes from the previous owner and shyly ask if you wanna cuddle in my room. You're down.

I crawl under the covers, placing my penis-shaped pink glitter pride bottle on the side table in case one of us wakes up thirsty. Once you're settled in, I turn off the glowing bare ass night light and the room goes black.

It takes a few seconds for your eyes to adjust, but when they do, you look up at the ceiling. It's dotted all over with little green flourescent lights. Are they plastic stars? No. I've pinned up a thousand glow in the dark condoms. God bless

Here I am with summoning headcanons for the first ghouls told through Chain (my beloved). I'm pretty happy about this one, actually !

"Why d'you wear it ?"

Chain blinks slowly, lazily turning their head to look at Phantom, sprawled on the worn rug next to them.

The new kid is cute, they decide, a bit of a lightweight, so they stopped smoking a while ago. His cheeks are flushed purple, big stary eyes glazed over, a sweet little smile never leaving his lips.

Chain almost forgets they were asked a question, until Phantom tugs a bit more insistantly on the heavy chain looped around their waist. They hum.

"'s a lucky charm, stickbug."

Phantom tilts his head with a confused noise, wiggling closer until he can rest his head on Chain's chest. The water ghoul runs fingers adorned with bone tattoos on the skin of the young quint's arm, raising goosebumps in their wake.

"Y'know I was the first water ghoul summoned after the mess Nihil's ghouls were, right ?"

Phantom nods, tail swaying lightly.

"Well," Chain hums, "back then, summonings were messy. And now, with how much damage Nihil's ghouls had done, the Clergy was afraid. Everytime they summoned a ghoul, they found new reasons to be afraid."

Phantom shifts, reaching up to follow the glowing stripes under Chain's jaw with the tip of his fingers.

"Like what ?"

Chain sighs, thinking back to their very first pack.

"Most of them were ancient, powerful ghouls. 'Mega was the first...I mean, you've seen him. He's big. Sure, Earth and Air are taller, but there's that thing 'bout 'Mega, y'know ? Some kind of...aura or shit. Maybe it's the quintessence, dunno. Anyway, he spooked them real good, and Alpha didn't make it better."

Phantom wrinkles his nose.

"Uh oh. Alpha's spookier than Omega."

Chain can't help snorting at that.

"He's got a shit temper and an ego the size of a planet. Fought Omega the second he slid of the altar. Got messy real quick - that's were he got the scars on his cheek and on his stomach, and 'Mega has matching ones on his thigh, burn marks on his ribs too."

With a little gasp, Phantom pushes himself up on his elbows.

"Really ? But they're....really close."

Phantom's surprise is understandable. Omega and Alpha are pratically joined at the hips now, evolving around each other with an ease speaking of intimacy. Chain hums.

"Well, yeah. Suprisingly, once Omega made Alpha eat shit, it didn't take long for them to get along. I guess they just had a rocky start."

"Understatement."

That sets Chain off, somehow, and it takes a long while before they can speak again without being interrupted by their own giggles.

"And after that, Air and Earth were summoned. You've seen them. Fucking trees, the both of them. Looming above everyone. Air traumatized the poor summoners by screeching so loudly he made some eardrums burst. And Earth, well. Spat out blood and guts everywhere - not his fault they summoned him right after a successful hunt."

Rolling on top of them, Phantom pushes his forehead against Chain's, pawing at their shoulders absent-mindedly.

"And you ?"

Closing their eyes, they can still picture it perfectly. The dim candle-lit room, the smell of incens and fear, the anxious whispers, the rough stone of the altar under their naked skin. And that familiar clinking sound.

"Well, I was the last of Primo's original ghouls to be summoned. And by that point, the Clergy was rightfully pissing their pants. So, the second I crawled out of the pit, they threatened to chain me if I showed any sign of agression. I guess they didn't expect for me to find their shiny chain really cool."

Phantom blinks at them in disblief.

"You...thought the chain looked cool."

Shrugging, Chain ruffles the quint's hair with a huff.

"Y'sound awfully judgmental. Yes, I thought it looked cool. Hopped off the altar, took it from them, sniffed it a few time and decided it was mine. Been wearing it ever since - and got my name out of it."

They stare at each other for a second before dissolving in another fit of giggles. It feels good, Chain decides, spending time with the newer ghouls, telling them stories of before they were summoned and watching their incredulous reaction.

"You," Phantom pants in between chuckles, "are the least serious ghoul I've ever met."

"Part of my charm."

Phantom laughs again, and Chain doesn't realize they're purring until the quint joins in.

[all-pacas]

do you think he went back to a photoless apartment after cameron?

First of all, how dare you,

-

"What do you think of this?" Cameron asks thoughtfully, picking up a decorative pillow from a staged living room.

The pillow is beige and uninteresting. "It's nice," Chase lies. She glares and he raises his eyebrows. "What am I supposed to say? It looks like a pillow."

Cameron puts it back on the couch. Chase is no stranger to IKEA, but when he's come here before, he'd beelined for the warehouse section and gone home. It's kind of fun to look through the fake apartments in the show room, but Cameron keeps getting distracted by the most boring crap.

Cameron grabs some pillowcases from a bin and tosses them into their little cart. "Your apartment sucks."

"It does not," he protests, knocking the cart lightly into her side. It doesn't. It can't, because she's moving in — which is exciting, even thrilling, and also terrifying. Cameron's idea, of course. All else aside, his apartment was bigger. When she'd suggested they buy decor together, make it feel like ours, he knew it was mostly her excuse to get rid of his old posters and some of his rattier furniture, but… Ours.

Like she meant it. Like she was absolutely serious and wanted to be with him. For real. So obviously he'd agreed. All the decor she wants. Throw out all his furniture if she wants, he doesn't care —

But all these throw pillows really do just look exactly the same.

They — Cameron — pick out some more pillows. Some knick-knacks, a blanket, new curtains, tablecloths, some art prints so abstract they're essentially just streaks of color, and candles. In the live plant section Cameron finds some potted palms and ferns; Chase finds some sweets in the food shop and eats them as he watches. They load up his car and she drags him to the West Elm shop in the mall next, for more expensive art prints and bedding and still more pillows.

-

Cameron is working three days on, three days off right now, so for the next week he keeps coming home to a different apartment: pillows everywhere, curtains hung, new dishes and silverwear and bedding. Flowers appear in planterboxes for the first time. New books crowd the shelves. Ridiculous as it all is, it is pretty nice, and maybe she does have a point that it's cozier. "If you wait until this weekend, I could actually help you," he points out one evening.

"I don't mind," she says cagily, coming back to the sofa with wine (in new glasses. That look exactly like his old wine glasses, but she insists are better.)

"You don't mind, or you think I'd mess it up?" he asks, and Cameron grins mischievously, and he almost ruins all her fancy new pillows when he pulls her closer for a kiss, wine glass and all.

The photos appear last of all. Cameron's diplomas framed on the walls, a family picture on one of the nightstands, another in the living room. On her urging, Chase digs out the half dozen photos he'd brought to the States with him when he'd moved: she picks through them carefully and he watches anxiously, waiting for her approval. One is of him and his mum when he was eight and she was sober, her arms around his shoulders as they both beam: Cameron has it framed and puts it next to her family photo on the living room table.

Last are glossy photos pinned to the fridge. In one he's wearing sunglasses and she's laughing. In another they're posing a bit too formally, self conscious and childish. A photobooth strip that starts serious and dissolves into silliness. A candid of him he doesn't recognize at all that makes him worry he always looks that serious: a picture of Cameron looking self conscious and grinning at the beach. He stands in front of the fridge for quite a while, taking it in. He hadn't known they had so many pictures.

-

The door closes behind her. He can hear the sound of her suitcase as it recedes down the hall. He is waiting to feel -- something. Anything. Finally he thinks he should drink a glass of water, not because he is thirsty but because it is something to do.

There are photos on the fridge, and pillows on the couch, and a box of unsorted wedding photos on the coffee table. Chase drinks cheap scotch and stares into space and eventually crawls into a bed made up with still more useless pillows.

She eventually sends for her diplomas and family photos. It takes him weeks to throw out the rest.

Alastember - day 10

modern AU headcanons for Alastair's birthday party based on this post I made for edit week

Alastair, Ari, Eugenia and Grace are roommates

Thomas is tasked with keeping Alastair out of the apartment since early morning so Ari and Eugenia could decorate the apartment, while Grace baked a birthday cake and other various desserts

They didn't know if they should invite the Merry Thieves but Grace was bringing Kit and Cordelia asked if she could bring Lucie and James so they said "fuck it" and invited Matthew as well

Thomas takes him out for breakfast

Alastair is suspicious (and a little bit sad) because everyone texted him happy birthday but no one tried to make plans to see him

Alastair and Thomas walk around London after breakfast, Thomas sees Alastair eyeing a polaroid camera and buys it for him ("you already paid for breakfast" "can't I just spoil my beautiful boyfriend on his birthday?")

They go to Thomas’ apartment to grab a picnic basket he prepared for them to eat lunch

They have their picnic in a park, Thomas takes a picture of Alastair with the polaroid camera

During their picnic Sona facetimes Alastair so her and Zachary can wish him a happy birthday

After lunch, Eugenia texts Thomas that he can take Alastair back to the apartment

Everyone hides when Thomas texts that they're entering the building

When Alastair opens the door, they jump out to scream "Happy birthday!"

Everyone takes turns using his new polaroid camera to take pictures of the party

It started as a dance party (courtesy of Ari’s carefully curated playlist) and quickly dissolved into a board game party

Matthew, Kit and Cordelia started a game of Uno, and the rest of the party slowly joined them each round until the last round when everyone was playing (Kit won that last game)

Lucie and James got into fight because Lucie put a +4 for James when he only had 1 card left

After that, they decided to switch to playing jenga and cards

Alcoholic drinks were kept to a minimum for Matthew’s and Alastair’s comfort

Almost at midnight they sang happy birthday to Alastair and he blew out the candles in his cake (“don’t forget to make a wish!” Cordelia said) (Alastair rolled his eyes but silently wished for more birthdays like this)

Everyone complimented Grace on the desserts she made

The night ends with them singing karaoke by pulling up karaoke videos with lyrics from youtube

Thomas stays the night, the next morning, Alastair wakes up first and starts looking for an empty spot in his walls where he can place all the pictures from the day before

A Dream for A Dream: CHAPTER FOUR .·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·. "And I sound like an infant Feeling like the very last drops of an ink pen A greater woman stays cool But I howl like a wolf at the moon And I look unstable Gathered with a coven round a sorceress' table A greater woman has faith But even statues crumble if they're made to wait I'm so afraid I sealed my fate." - the prophecy, taylor swift .·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·.

Around me, there was blood and fire. Shadows crept up to me from the edges of the trees, slithering up and around my ankles, tethering me to the ground, drowning me in their darkness. 

Devilish eyes the color of the sun stared at me from the trees, their grins glinting sharp and bloody. A final scream tore through me when invisible hands touched me…

And I woke, startled, punching a face hovering in front of me. 

But the face dissolved into a cloud of mist with a ghostly gasp, my fist slicing through empty air. Frightened, I tried to flee from the room but tripped on the hem of my dress, crashing face-first onto the floor with a cry. The searing pain and intense embarrassment washed over me as I flopped onto my back, tenderly nursing the throb in my nose.

The words from my nightmare echoed like a haunting refrain.  ‘You think you can fight me, but what’s the use? He can’t save you…’ 

When I shut my eyes, I could see the massacre all over again: Astarion's crimson eyes bled as he gazed at me, his skin beginning to smolder, flesh turning to ashes. 

Cold bitterness twisted within me, like icy fingers clawing at my heart, and tears slipped from my eyes.

The gentle touch of a breeze on my cheek took me by surprise, and I couldn't help but gasp as my eyes shot open.

An ethereal mist hovered above me. When it spoke, its voice echoed like several voices in an endless chamber. “Did Mim scare you?” it whispered.

I rubbed the tears from my eyes and blinked at the mist, a bit shocked. I’ve seen weirder things, but it was rather unexpected to be talking to a ghostly cloud. 

“Pretty girl is scared. Mim wanted to help,” the mist whimpered. 

"It's okay," I reassured Mim, the ghostly mist, with a small but wobbly smile. "You just startled me, that's all."

“Pretty girl was having a bad dream,” Mim muttered. 

I nodded, and Mim let out a sad sigh. 

“Mim remembers the bad dreams. Mim can’t dream now.”

“How lucky,” I joked through a sniffle, and the mist shivered. 

A brief silence hung between us. I still lay on the floor, too drained to stand.

“Pretty girl is pale elf’s lover?” Mim innocently asked.

“Gods, no!” I laughed. “We’re friends, I think.”

Mim hummed, "When the pale elf returned, he would sing a song." Mim twirled around me. "Mim watched, scared. Mim wanted to comfort the pale elf, but he was angry and lonely. Mim understands."

I gazed at Mim with a furrow in my brow. "Astarion? Are you certain?"

“Mim knows all,” the mist said. “Mim knows what haunts pretty girl and scary elf…”

Mim continued, “Mim likes pretty girl, so Mim will tell pretty girl this…” Mim hovered closer to my face, its cold, disembodied breath freezing the tip of my nose. The several voices dropped to a lower octave, muttering, “You run, you hide, but can’t escape. The binding threats of our cruel fate. Through dreams, I slink. In shadows, I creep. And I roam the night while mortals sleep. What am I?” 

In a blink, Mim vanished into thin air.

I crawled to my knees and looked around, desperation almost twisting my neck. “Mim,” I called for the ominous mist, but I was met with silence. I shivered, noticing the flames in the fireplace snuffing out to their near end, and the sun behind the white-lace curtains set to dusk.

You run, you hide, but can’t escape…

I rushed to look for some paper and ink and found some on a desk in the corner of the room. I lit the small candle and hurriedly dipped the feather into the black liquid, disregarding the ink droplets staining the wood. I wrote with feverish madness, wrist shaking with slight tremors, and hoped I didn’t miss a single word Mim said. The binding threats of our cruel fate… 

Once I finished, I stared at the black scrawl on the paper and tried to make sense of the riddle. Through dreams, I slink. In shadows, I creep. And I roam the night while mortals sleep…

What are you?

“Mim?” I whispered in a final hopeful attempt.

Silence.

I sunk into the chair with a sigh and shook my head. More questions upon questions. Will there ever be an end to this madness? 

It seemed I managed to sleep for a few hours, at least. I didn’t feel as recharged as I’d hoped, but the aching throb behind my eyes was gone. All I had to do was answer the riddle, protect Astarion, and rid myself of the blood-thirsty monster before it slaughtered everyone I loved.

Easy enough. I defeated an Elder Brain and the Chosen of the Three Dark Gods. This was like a stroll in the park, right?

A knock broke me from my reverie. A timid human maid with short, blunt brown hair slowly pushed the door open and bowed. “Dinner is served, m’lady.” 

As if reminded of the existence of food, my stomach rumbled.

.·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·.

The brown-haired maid led me to the dining hall where Astarion sat regally at the end of a long table, casually sipping crimson wine. With an imperious flick of his wrist, the maid scurried off, her head bowed so low it almost looked painful.

I stared after her with a deepening frown. “Why is she so frightened?”

“Humans,” he replied, his voice dripping with disinterest, waving his hand dismissively as if swatting away an annoying insect. 

I raised an eyebrow, my hands landing on my hips. “Excuse me?”

Astarion sighed dramatically, rolling his eyes. “Must everything be a confrontation?”

“Why is she scared, Astarion? Are you harming them?”

He took a deliberate sip from his glass, his red eyes locking onto mine with an unsettling intensity. “Only if there’s a need.” He gestured to the seat beside him with a languid, yet commanding motion. “Sit.”

“Do you hurt them?” I scowled.

He slammed his glass down with such force it nearly shattered. “What I do with them does not concern you.”

I ground my jaw, my voice dropping to a tense whisper. “Then tell me you don’t.”

Astarion’s dangerously intense gaze studied me from across the room, his eyes flickering with unintelligible secrets. He could lie. He could set me on fire or cast me out. The power hung at his fingertips yet he hesitated, torn between a softness lethal as his hatred.

Without breaking eye contact, Astarion responded in a whisper as soft as mine, “I do not harm them.”

"Promise?" I murmured. Astarion's white lashes fluttered shut for a second, his pain visible across his face. I wondered what he fought within him, what vicious hatred forced him to act so cruelly at times. I wondered if he’d let me in once again, help him soothe the ache.

“Don’t…” He faltered. As he opened his eyes, the softness was gone, replaced by the same distant shell of his former self. I desperately tried to read him, but he seemed miles away, lost in his thoughts. “I assure you I don’t harm them, but recently, there have been numerous attempts on my life. I’ve been forced to take extreme actions.” 

I slowly nodded. “I believe you.”

“I don’t need you to believe me,” he bit back, harsher than before.

“And that’s fine,” I responded cooly. “Just know I do.”

Astarion’s glare deepened.

I returned the glare with a tired smile. The nightmares seemed to be desensitizing me to the intimidating vampire before me. After all, there were worse things than a flamboyant rogue who fancied himself a king.

I slid into the chair beside Astarion, my movements deliberate, and placed the piece of paper with the riddle in front of him.

His anger slowly melted as he stared at it. “A love poem, darling? How sweet,” he mocked, though there was a flicker of curiosity in his eyes. 

I huffed through my nose, trying to contain my frustration. “No, it’s a riddle. I think it’s a clue about the creature in my dreams.”

“And how did you come about—” he waved his glass dismissively “— this riddle?” 

“A ghost.”

“A ghost?” He repeated, slowly, his disbelief palpable. 

I nodded, resolute. “Mim.”

“Mim, the ghost… are you well? Is the lack of sleep finally eating away at your brain?”

“No, Astarion. My brain is perfectly intact. I was woken from another nightmare by this strange mist, and it recited the riddle before vanishing.”

Astarion picked up the paper, his eyes scanning the words. He read aloud, “’You run, you hide, but can’t escape. The binding threads of our cruel fate. Through dreams, I slink. In shadows, I creep. And I roam the night while mortals sleep. What am I?’” He hummed thoughtfully, taking another sip. “Sounds like a devil to me.” 

“Could be. Or not.” I shrugged, trying to mask my worry. “I’m telling you this because I think it may be important. In my dream, you were dead. Everyone around me was. I don’t know if it was a threat, a promise, or a bluff, but it felt real. Too real.”

His eyebrows furrowed, and he leaned back in his chair. “I died?”

I nodded, the memory sending a chill down my spine. “He said you can’t save me. That it was useless.”

“Well, darling, that’s almost cute,” he laughed, a sharp edge to his voice. “There is nothing I cannot do now.” 

His sudden fire ignited a spark of resolve within me, almost soothing the uncertainty with his confidence. 

“It won’t hurt us,” Astarion assured as he casually sipped his wine like he weaved the threads of fate itself. Like it’d be fun to see it try, futile in all its attempts to harm the power-hungry vampire.

His arrogance, usually a minor annoyance, oddly comforted me in the situation. I longed to have the same confidence to control my fate, but every time I made a decision, it seemed to lead to another disaster. That's how it felt when I looked at Astarion, unintentionally allowing my suppressed emotions to surface.

“Eat,” he commanded, gesturing to the plate in front of me that I had barely noticed. I picked up my fork and began to eat, the tension between us lingering in the air.

A Hunter

"You ready for this?"

Yol had become accustomed to Three's tones, if not her words, and sat at attention to watch carefully.

Three, once satisfied, cast her super as slowly as she could, trying to remember how she did it when she was a kid. Gotta let it swallow you so you can swallow it, but she didn't want to tell anyone else that.

~

The Void enveloped the Hunter and she drew it into herself to create the massive longbow and she fired it into the top of a statue maybe fifty meters off.

Yol leapt to her feet and chattered excitedly, pointing at the tethers, then at herself.

"Yep!" Three declared.

The Acolyte chattered as the Void started at her hands and dripped like plasma, then grew and spilled up her arms and over her head, but it stopped short of her legs, and when she tried to form the weapon in her hands, it fell to pieces, leaving a javelin-sized arrow in one hand until it also dissolved.

Three looked at her without moving, but she sheepishly kicked at the ground and turned away.

"No, no, that was great, that was a great first try!"

"It wasn't our first," said Jinx. "But she always tried a spear before."

"That's arcstriders, the wizard magic," she said for a Jinx to translate. Yol grunted her agreement and pooled the black plasma into her hands again. Three held her hands wide, shrugging, not knowing how to help with that.

Yol dropped the plasma and sat heavily, panting. Three watched in surprise, checked for surrounding dangers, then realized that Yol was completely exhausted. Jinx hovered close and Yol swatted at her as they chatted back and forth. Three, in her effort to be polite, turned to sit on the edge of the wall where Freija had lain to nap.

"Hey, we can't keep going," Jinx said after a minute. "Do... Do you guys know how to help? It's not the first time."

"Rest up. Eat well. I don't know if Hive eat...."

"Uh... Yes."

"Other Hive?"

"... Sometimes."

Three didn't move an inch or respond at all besides a simple, "Yup."

"It isn't her fault," Freija mumbled at her, sitting up.

"Nope," agreed Three grumpily, but she lifted her voice for Jinx and Yol. "Tell you what, if this is a good spot for you, I can come back in a couple days. Don't do anything except hunt to eat, and only if scavenging is off the table. Scavenge if you can."

Yol looked at Three as Jinx's translation rattled through, and she grunted, then turned to Jinx. They went back and forth for a while, then Jinx turned back to Three. "Noon tomorrow, noon the next day, return at noon after that?"

"Noon means midday?"

"Technically, this place doesn't have night and day," Jinx explained. "So I rounded to the days on Fundament, which are slightly longer than Earth, but you should be able to round the measurements."

"Yeah, close enough."

Yol groaned quietly and hauled herself bodily to her feet before she staggered and nearly fell. Freija ran to help. She let Yol lean on her while Jinx led the way to a small doorway and a tiny lit room beyond. Three hadn't even noticed.

The Titan practically carried the exhausted Acolyte, dwarfed by the chitinous frame, even as she lowered the Guardian to a long bench padded with a nest of loose foliage and matted branches and vines. Three peeked in to see small jars and collected weaponry and statuettes lined against the wall, too, under the green-flamed candles.

Well, that's painfully familiar.

Three groaned at herself, disgusted by empathizing with this monster, but... Freija was right. Hive or not, they're Risen, too. Guardians, Lightbearers, whatever, cursed just like the rest to navigate an impermanent world and get shot at. And this one was pretty obviously a Hunter.

Freija didn't talk much more with Jinx, but she did cover the Acolyte with a scrap of blanket out of what might have been instinct. Yol seemed confused but understood the gesture to be kind, and she grunted her thanks, wadding it up to play support for unsupported, inflexible limbs.

No door could be closed, so Freija simply stepped sideways immediately out to give privacy, and she nearly collided with Three, who narrowly slipped backwards.

They stayed quiet, not even whispering through comms. They kept their silence even as they entered orbit and allowed themselves to drift loose around Mars, lingering while Three marinated in her thoughts on what it really meant to be a Hunter.

[smokedgastropod]

listen up, i need to tell you about my favourite category of sweets in poland - cemetary candy.

on all saints day, next to graveyards stand stalls offering sweets that aren't in the store. they aren't even made in a factory. there's also stuff like flowers and grave candles, but the candy is unique and! dependent on the region. you can sometimes find these stalls also during religious hollidays, but not the main ones - the more local and minor kind.

i'm from the south of poland, so i'll start with "trupi miodek" also known as "turecki miodek" which you could translate as "corpse candy" or "turkish candy". i doubt turkish people would recognize it as such though:

it's a hard caramel sweet, usually the flavour of vanilla, honey or almond, that's f-cking smashed with a hammer and sold in plastic baggies. is it good? i can't say. nostalgia blinds me, so probably it's not that great. (it's mostly sugar! hard sugar!). often sold with nuts in the package. the stall usually offers off-brand m&ms as well.

now, a bit up north, around warszawa (warsaw) you can find "pańska skórka" which translates as "noble/lord's skin" and looks like this:

also quite cheap and made primarily from sugar and egg whites, but the texture is different. you can't see this, but it's actually quite big and really hard at first, so you can't speak as you eat it. then it get's softer and is easily moldable, and kinda similar to dissolving chewing gum. usually flavored with vanilla, strawberry or apple.

around poznań you can find these bad boys:

these have three names cuz why stop at one? they're "rury" ("pipes"), "dachówki" ("roof tiles") or "trąby" ("trumpets"). they're crunchy and a bit like gingerbread. haven't tried them, poznań is on my bucket list though!

time for lublin and these:

they're called "szczypki" which comes from the word "szczapki", meaning thin and long pieces of wood used when lighting a fire. as with others, it's made with sugar, but also egg whites, gelatine, starch and water. they're similar to others on this list in terms of flavour.

there's also obwarzanki *odpustowe*:

you can find them anywhere, but they're technically a warsaw treat. now i'll be honest, i don't really like them, they're hard, usually dry and leave crumbs everywhere. not to be confused with obwarzanki *krakowskie*:

which are available in kraków and surrounding areas (which are also called an obwarzanek! because that area is round in shape! how cute!) year round. they're awesome, come with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, salt, cheese or a spice blend with paprika. they're a better pretzel, don't fight me on this.

a honorable mention goes to "misie bezowe" ("meringue bears"):

now those are technically made by an actual company and not by... just normal people in personal kitchens? as i said, cemetary candy isn't made commercially. these bears are, and they're as far as i'm aware available all over poland, but mostly sold alongside the treats mentioned above. they are cheap, have a weird, kinda processed aftertaste, and the inside of this waffle isn't filled with meringue, but some?? white filling???? the waffle is bland as paper too. i find them very nostalgic, but i'm aware they're probably the sh-ttiest out of all of them.

thanks for your attention.

4. DYING BODY, LIVING SOUL

Fear. Stress. Confusion.

If you were Bendy, you'd feel the same, wouldn't you? After all... he is locked in an empty, dark room.

The cat didn't know what to do. Run away? Like where? What, is it supposed to make circles around its own axis? Call for help? The main rooms are miles away - only the souls surrounding him on every side will hear him. Though he couldn't see them, he felt an unpleasant warmth as the eyes of the spirits stared at his fur. He decided to take a look at his surroundings. There was a table here. And a candle! Something to light a candle? Nothing. Cards, jars of ink, cans of bacon soup, but nothing really useful...

A silhouette.

The silhouette that locked him here! What was it like? Such matted fur, it was brown in the light, a small scar under the eye, eyes with such bags and that deadly, heart-attack look of brown eyes ... and that malicious smile ...

Joey...

Joey Drew...

You'll pay me for this," Bendy growled. And then he saw it. That shadow of the cat that was in the room he was running past... it walked past him wagging it tail elegantly, but it wasn't a she-cat or anything...

It was a tomcat

And his name was Fang.

The ghost walked over to the candle, lit it by blowing on it, dissolving into the air. The room was blinded by light. There was a large puddle of ink next to one wall. The cat entered it, sinking his paws into.

One of ussss...

"I'm not one of you," Bendy hissed at the whisper.

You can't escape your destiny...

"I will escape any trap you set for me!" he continued.

"You don't understand, do you?"

Exactly eight gray ghosts with white eyes and mouths like the white face of a carved pumpkin appeared before him.

"What am I to understand?" The live cat took two steps back and ruffled its fur, looking at each of the ghosts.

"We, your servants, are faithful to you. You, our king, are above us all," said all the souls at once.

"W-what..."

"Hear the voice of God!"

"Let him catch you in his heavenly paws!"

"Let him say it's your destiny!"

"You are our savior!"

"You are a demon, firstborn son of ink."

"N-no! Bendy protested. Leave me alone! I am not your king! I am no savior!"

"Each of us died in suffering ... - a tiny kitty came forward.

"Hunger."

"Tired."

"From pain."

"For longing."

"Through torture."

"From stress."

"Protecting loved ones."

"Because we lived, we were condemned to death."

Bendy fell silent and stopped moving. A sharp hiss pierced the air. The souls fled when a tomcat appeared in front of Bendy and helped him light a candle.

"Give him time. And don't force anything." he snorted and turned to the tomcat "Are you okay?"

"Yes... r-rather yes..." replied the smaller cat, who was surprised to hear the voice of the mysterious figure. This ghost was quite tall, well built, had short light gray fur, and had a glitch effect on its body... it was a bit scary, and its voice was low.

"What do they want from me?" Bendy asked.

"As they said - they left in suffering and pain. They're looking for someone who can hear them, who can see... you answered their calls, so they probably thought you wanted to help them."

"I'd like to find help myself..."

"It's probably because of your powers that you're locked up here..."

"Can you see it like that?"

"Distraction, flying eyes, wiggling ears... Joey's not stupid. I had the opportunity to meet him in person... not a nice type of cat..."

"What is your name?"

The ghost looked at Bendy with a hint of amusement.

"It seemed to me that you already knew the answer to this question" the tomcat got up from the ground "My name is Fang. I used to live outside the studio but I died in it and I'm kind of trapped here..."

"I'm sorry..."

"Yeah... but at least I can go where living paws can't go."

"That is?"

Fang extended a paw to the smaller tomcat, and the latter caught it. The spirit opened a portal for them, and when they passed through it, they found themselves in a black abyss, with only white outlines of trees, grass, and here and there stones.

"Where are we?" Bendy looked around in wonder as Fang led him to the edge of the cliff.

There was no river of ink down there. There was a SEA of ink!

"Bendy... welcome to the Forest of Souls."

The subtlety of silver accessories allows them to integrate seamlessly into a space, adding a touch of refined glamour without overwhelming the senses.

Why Choose Silver For Your Home Decor

Silver is an incredibly adaptable component in home decor, seamlessly sliding into any thematic choice, whether it be minimalist, bohemian, or opulent. Its reflective properties can transform subdued lighting into a radiant atmosphere, making rooms appear larger and more inviting. What sets silver apart is its timelessness—never succumbing to the changing tides of trends. With silver, concerns over coordinating colors dissolve as it enhances virtually every hue, providing a harmonious visual experience. The metallic polish of silver accessories will not dominate your space; instead, it delicately plays against other elements, echoing the room's colors and casting a soft but definite glow. Its beauty lies in its subtlety and its strength in its flexibility, making silver a wise and stunning choice for any home decorator looking to add a touch of long-lasting sophistication to their living space.

Versatile with any color scheme

Natural light enhancement

A timeless decor choice

Create a Balanced Look Using Silver Home Accessories

Creating a balanced look with silver home accessories involves strategic placement and a keen eye for design harmony. It’s crucial to avoid overwhelming a room with too much of a good thing. To achieve equilibrium, consider the scale and proportion of your silver pieces relative to the room's size and existing furniture. Employing silver as accents, rather than centerpieces, can provide a subtle thread of continuity without dominating the decor narrative. Pair silver with contrasting colors like deep blues or warm woods to anchor its ethereal qualities, ensuring it enhances rather than eclipses the room's design. Additionally, embracing a mix of textures can break up monotonous stretches and keep the eye engaged, creating a tactile as well as a visual balance.

Use silver as complementing accents

Contrast with different colors

Mix textures for a dynamic look

How to Clean and Maintain Silver Accessories

The luster of silver accessories is a hallmark of their allure, which necessitates proper maintenance. Regular cleaning need not be a laborious task; a simple wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth can keep your silver items gleaming and guard against tarnish. When deeper cleaning is called for, a gentle silver polish can renew the sparkle without abrading the surface. Ensuring your silver is stored or displayed in environments that are not excessively humid will aid in staving off tarnishing. With consistent care, the gleam of your silver home accessories can endure, contributing an everlasting elegance to your household.

Wipe regularly with a soft cloth

Use non-abrasive silver polish

Store properly to prevent tarnish

Health Benefits of Silver Accessories

The benefits of incorporating silver into your living space extend beyond its visual appeal; silver is renowned for its health-promoting qualities. Historically recognized for its antibacterial properties, silver can contribute to a cleaner home environment, which is particularly reassuring in high-touch areas like handles or silverware. For allergy sufferers, silver offers a hypoallergenic alternative to other metals that might provoke sensitivities. In certain health practices, silver is lauded for its ability to positively charge drinking water, potentially imparting additional wellness benefits. Thus, silver accessories can offer a dual satisfaction of embellishing your home while discreetly contributing to the health and well-being of its occupants.

Reduces bacterial spread

Hypoallergenic properties

Enhances water quality

Edging out Gold: The Rising Preference for Silver

As aesthetic values evolve, silver is emerging as the preferred choice for many homeowners over traditional gold tones. The cool elegance of silver resonates with contemporary design trends, emphasizing clean lines and minimalist beauty. Besides its modern appeal, silver presents an affordable alternative, making luxury decor accessible. The growing inclination towards silver signifies a shift in standard preferences, showcasing a desire for innovation and versatility in home accessorizing.

Favored for a modern look

More accessible than gold

How to choose the right Silver Home Accessories

Selecting the right silver home accessories involves thoughtful consideration of several factors, ensuring that each piece complements your space and amplifies your personal aesthetic. Assess the compatibility of potential additions with your existing interior design. Contemplate both the visual and functional aspects of each item; ornamental pieces should not only captivate the eye but also serve a purpose where possible. Quality should remain a top priority, as well-crafted accessories are more likely to withstand the test of time. By following these guidelines, your chosen silver embellishments will not only fit seamlessly into your home but also encapsulate enduring elegance and practicality.

Select items that harmonize with decor

Opt for functional, beautiful pieces

Prioritize quality and craftsmanship

Enveloping your living space in the elegance of silver home accessories is more than an aesthetic choice; it's a statement of sophistication and a commitment to enduring style. Whether you seek to create a striking visual impact or a subtle hint of glamour, silver's versatility and timeless allure make it the perfect enhancement for any home. With strategic placement, diligent care, and an eye for quality, these radiant pieces can transform your abode into a sanctum of elegance and class.

half written goodbyes

- Atsumu Miya x Reader

- SFW

He comes home late that night, when you already put the cake back on the fridge and blew off the candles. You hear him yawn, and you know he's stretching his arms behind his back, and looking around confused, because you're not waiting for him on the sofa, sleepy but happy to see him come through the door.

"Babe?" he calls, to the empty living room.

You blink, and bury your head on the pillow to wipe your tears on it. Atsumu's footsteps come to halt on the doorstep, and you grip the covers tightly, biting your bottom lip "Babe, are ya sleepin'?"

You really want to say yes. You really want to. But then you would be failing to deliver the maturity you want, and the level of compromise you've been wanting to have in your relationship for a long time.

So you slowly sit down, pushing your hair behind your ears, and look at your boyfriend of seven years. Atsumu smiles, his whole face lighting up, and your heart skips a beat because you know. You know what you need to do. And yet, his eyes are enough to shake the foundations of everything you've been building in your mind for a while.

"How was practice?" you ask, resting your trembling hands on your lap.

Atsumu sighs, blissfully tired, and walks towards the bed "It was great! I'm drained"

"And how are the guys?" you ask again, and he shrugs, sitting down to take his shoes off.

"They're like usual, I guess. Omi was a bit under the weather today" he laughs, as if recalling something, and you watch him yawn again "But when isn't he?" then he's looking back at you, a little smirk dancing on his lips, his hair still plastered to his forehead from the sweat "Aren't ya gonna nag me for sittin' on the bed with my dirty clothes or somethin'? You're like Omi with this things"

You won't, because you're not planning to sleep on that bed anymore.

You clear your throat, and Atsumu must see something in your eyes, because his smirk slowly dissolves into a frown.

"I was waiting for you" you explain, looking at your hands. You open them and close them again, trying to find the words in your palms "I need to tell you something"

"We can go out to have dinner on Sunday" he hurries to say, and your eyes snap towards him because if he's saying that, all of the sudden, then he knows. He knows.

He didn't forget.

He knew.

"So you didn't forget?" you ask, and instantly feel stupid for doing so. Atsumu scratches the back of his neck and rounds the bed to sit beside you "You didn't forget my birthday?"

He chuckles, and grasps one of your hands between his. You don't squeeze back when he does.

"Of course I didn't forget"

"You weren't here"

"Ya knew I had practice"

"I'm not talking about today" you say, and he looks so confused that you almost take pity of him. But you have much more compassion for yourself at this point, and so you carry on "I'm talking about this past two years"

"I never forget your birthdays" he says, louder this time, and gives up on trying to hold your hand in favor of standing up and look at you in shock "I never forget anythin', babe. I thought ya knew that "

"I don't think I know anything anymore, honestly"

He's unable to do anything but watch you wide eyed, as you stand and take your gym bag from under the bed.

"Why are ya sayin' that?" he huffs, taking a step towards you and stopping sudenly, unsure "I don't know where all this is comin' from. I get home tired from practice and..."

"What home?"

"What?"

You purse your lips, staring intently at the bag where you previously stuffed all your belongings, or at least the ones you knew you didn't want to leave behind. You'll figure out the rest. Maybe one of your friends will help you.

"This isn't a home" you finally tell him, still not finding the courage to look at him in the eyes again. You grip the strap tight "This is your apartment. You're the one that lives here. I only come occasionally"

"What're ya talkin' about?" Atsumu asks indignantly, his voice taking a higher tone "This is our place!"

"Is it? I still have my appartment. I'm paying rent. You've never told me to move in with you" he opens his mouth to say something, but you keep talking before he can "And I thought that after spending some time with the MSBY Jackals we would talk about the future... about anything. I've never asked for much!" you yell, feeling the tears prickling on the back of your eyes "All this time we've been together, I've been happy with whatever you give me! Anything! I knew your dream was to be a volleyball player. I knew it would be hard, that you would be away a lot. That you would have a demanding work that would consume all your energy. But it's been seven years, and somehow... somehow I still feel like I'm just some random high school girl you could break up at any moment now"

Atsumu's eyes slide from you to the bag, to your knuckles turning white on the strap. He gets rid of the distance between you to stand right beside you. You still don't look up.

"What's in the bag?" he whispers, and you shake your head "What do ya have there?"

"And then..." you add, deflated "You sudenly stopped putting any effort. I would have rather you forgot my birthdays... instead of... just knowing and still..." you cut yourself short when Atsumu's hands gently pry yours away from the bag, opening it to reveal all your clothes and first necessity items.

He tenses, and then begins to stiffly bring out every piece of clothing, carefully placing it on the bed. You're already crying but the time you spring into action, and try to stop him.

"We'll leave all this here" he says, voice eerily calm, and wihout looking at you "We'll leave this here and... we'll go out to... to have dinner. Yes. Dinner. Let's just go, babe. We can talk there"

"Atsumu, I'm not going anywhere" you argue, but he smiles— a trembling smile that doesn't reaches his eyes "Atsumu!"

"It's fine" he continues, and you stop trying to push him away and just let your arms fall to your sides "We're just too tired. That's all. Ya don't know what you're sayin'"

"I know exactly what I'm saying"

He yells your name when you leave the room, and one of his hands is soon grabbing your arm and trying to drag you back with him.

"Do ya want me to apologize?" he says, enraged, his eyes tinted red, and the hand around your forearm won't bulge when you try to get rid of his grip "Is that what ya want? I had practice! Ya know how this things are! I thought ya understood!"

"I've had! For the past seven years! But there just comes a time when enough is enough and...!"

"Then why are ya bein' so inconsiderate and selfish?" he screams, and soon watches in horror as you take a step back from him, your eyes searching for something, anything on his face that can tell you that he didn't said that to you.

"I'll be staying with one of my friends, probably" you inform him in a soft voice, when you manage to swallow around the lump in your throat. Atsumu's hand slowly moves away from your arm, falling defeated by his side "I don't want to go back to my apartment alone"

"Please no" he quickly begs, desperately, all the color drained from his face "Please, don't do this. We can talk. I'm sorry"

"Atsumu..."

"I'm sorry" he says again, chuckling nervously and pushing his hair away from his face, while pulling slightly at the strands "I'm an idiot and I have a big mouth. Ya know that. I didn't meant... ya know how I am. Ya love me inspite that. Right?"

"Listen..."

"Ya love me" he tries again, voice shaking as much as the hands he decides to put in his pockets "Right?"

You do. Of course you do. You've known Atsumu Miya your whole life. You don't have a single memory without him; your past is filled with his laughter, his jokes and the touches you shared.

You just don't know if you can see your future like that anymore.

And the present has left you feeling nothing but cold.

"I do" you admit, trying to be as honest as possible. He exhales a shaky breath, but doesn't seems much better than before.

You gaze behind you, at the door, at the same time he turns around and goes to open the fridge.

Inside, untouched, sits the birthday cake you bought for yourself.

You watch him hold onto the door like his life depends on it "We can eat this" he whispers, and has to gulp before being able to continue "Just the two of us. Here on the kitchen counter"

"Atsumu, please..."

"I can..." he sniffs, and the watery laugh that follows tells you that he's now crying too "I can go to the store and buy some candles just... please don't leave"

"Maybe we can talk better tomorrow. When you have your rest and we both can think clearer" you offer, giving him and yourself the hope you've been slowly losing for the last years.

A couple of seconds later, you're moving robotically for the door, away from Atsumu's shaking back and the apartment you never completely felt like yours. One of your friends will lend you some clothes. You have more in your own place as well.

Your hand is hovering over the doorknob when you hear his voice again.

"I love ya" he says, a sob escaping his lips before he can stop it "You've ways been my home"

You know this isn't the end. You know him. Atsumu. He's different but still the same from when he first said he wanted to be your boyfriend. You know this is only the calm before the storm. That tomorrow he'll run to get you, that he'll plead and fight and won't leave you or your phone alone. You know he never goes down without a fight— in volleyball and in life.

And maybe, that's what you would like. A change. A fight. Some proof that this is still something worth missing birthday dinners for.

But for now, you close the door, and leave him to break down behind.

🧣 RED Love Story Collection

Part XXII - Red

[prince-simon]

prince simon's 18th birthday

it's tradition in the trastámara family to wake the birthday person up with singing happy birthday

his birthday is usually the one day that simon wakes up early bc he's so excited, he always pretends to sleep when linda and sara come into his room to sing

but very quickly he starts giggling uncontrollably and that's also when sara jumps on the bed and tackles him in a big hug

linda joins after they finish the song and they're just a big cuddle pile

then simon gets to unwrap sara's gift - which, as per tradition, is the craziest mug she could find. this years mug is a really cute one with a little frog prince sitting at the bottom of it

linda brings in the cake next and as simon's blowing out the candles she asks him "what did you wish for?"

simon replies "it's bad luck to tell!"

and linda grins at him and says "well if it is what i think it might be, your wish may be granted" and then she pulls out a key from her pocket with a cute little guardian angel keychain

"IS THAT-" simon screams, wide eyed gaze on linda

linda's smile widened at her son's obvious excitement, nodding in confirmation

"security gave the green light yesterday. it's all yours."

they'd been looking at an apartment in chueca two weeks prior that simon had absolutely fallen in love with AND IT WAS HIS NOW

simon threw his arms around linda, making her ears ring with his excited screaming before he scrambled out of bed to get dressed, wanting to go see the apartment right that moment even though he'd already seen it but now it was his and surely that was different

linda and sara manage him to have cake first before they can't rein in his excitement anymore and call a car to take them to chueca

by the time they arrive there, simon is bouncing, unable to sit still anymore

the apartment is going to be empty but it doesn't dim his excitement at all. he was gonna live on his own! in his dream apartment!

when he puts his (his!) key in the lock for the first time, his heart is beating wildly. linda takes a cheesy picture of it that shows simon with the widest grin imaginable

as they walk inside, they're suddenly greeted by screams of "SURPRISE!!" and "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" and simon dissolves into disbelieving laughter as he's greeted by friends and family

rosh and ayub are the first ones to hug him and yell in his ear in excitement and he jumps around with them giddily, next up are his aunts and uncles, then diego

on the kitchen island there's a buffet set up and people lounge about around a table and mismatched chairs that simon would have to get rid of once he had all the right furniture (he's had pinterest boards for exactly how he imagined his apartment to look like for ages) but for now it couldn't have been more perfect

the apartment is filled with music and laughter, people are chatting and dancing and simon thinks it's the perfect first day in his new home

it was the perfect birthday too surrounded by his family and closest friends and diego kissed him out on the balcony as the sun was setting until rosh and ayub interrupted them to pull them on the makeshift dancefloor

Thank you sm sorry this is so specific!

HANGE NOOOO oml they would though

Anniversary

(Zoe Hange x Reader)

AU: Canon

Warnings: None

Category: Fluff

Summary: Too busy with work, Hange forgets about their three year anniversary, and an argument ensues. Upset about this, they gets Levi and Erwin’s help to make it up to their s/o.

Words: 2.4K

Beams of light shone through the window—blinds doing little to stop it. The sporadic rays of the sun warmed your skin, your body stirring you awake at the detection of sunlight.

You slowly open your eyes to say good morning to your lover, but you sighed in disappointment at the empty space next to you, a small dip in the bed where they always slept.

You sit up and look at the calendar. There it was, circled in bright red ink, March 7th. Your two year anniversary of dating the scientist.

You knew of their habits; staying up late working on experiments, and waking up extra early to begin again. You understood the importance of their work, but you couldn’t help but be saddened by their frequent absences. You wished, at the very least, they could find time in their day to spend with you, especially on your anniversary of all days.

You sighed, dragging yourself out of bed and to the closet, ready to get dressed and face yet another long, busy day.

---

You knocked on the door again—the third time since you had showed up to the commander’s door. After another moment of no response, you pushed the door open wordlessly, they wouldn’t care if you walked right in anyway. It was a privilege only their lover had; being able to walk in while they were working and talk to them. It was a small gesture of affection between the two of you, but a silent one. Still, you appreciated the gesture.

You stepped into the room, and the sight of Hange hunched over the desk and too dissolved in their work to notice you ignited a twinge of sympathy in you. A single, tall candle on the desk provided what little light there was in the room, and you wondered why they hadn’t even bothered to open the blinds. How long have they been awake?

“Hange?” You chirped quietly, and you saw the scientist jump at the sound of their name, turning to face you curiously. They smiled at you the second they recognized you, a satisfied hum leaving their lips. As soon as you had walked close enough to Hange’s desk, they snaked a hand around your neck, pulling you down to plant a soft kiss to your jawline, before returning their attention to the various papers on their desk.

“Good morning, love.” They greeted quietly, and the tiredness was evident in their voice—they made no attempt to hide it.

You blushed at the affectionate greeting, and made yourself comfortable, leaning against one of the many wooden bookshelves that lined the walls of their office.

“G’morning Hange.” You yawned. You thought out your next sentence carefully before you spoke it. “What are you doing up so early? We have a relaxing day ahead of us.”

Hange bore a confused look, turning to you in unfiltered curiosity. “We do?”

Now it was your turn to be confused. How did they not plan for the date the two of you had planned?

“Yeah...” You deadpanned. “We do.”

They made no verbal response, only exasperating their confused look as if to beckon a further explanation.

“Do you not realize what today is...?” You tilted to the side, perhaps testing the waters for a prank, or a temporary lapse in memory. You waited for their head to perk up and chirp out an affirmation about the date, but they did no such thing.

“...What today is?” They echoed, clearly not understanding what you were talking about.

You sighed annoyingly, eyebrows furrowing in frustration. “Our anniversary, Hange. It’s our anniversary.”

You watched their face sink in realization.

“That’s today...?” They asked meekly. It’s almost as if they could sense the incoming anger and frustration coming from you.

You groaned loudly, pulling your body away from the bookshelf and taking a few steps towards them. “Yes, Hange. It’s today.” Their face strained and they turned to look down at the stack of papers and materials on their desk, a look of ‘Oh shit’ being plastered all over their face.

“Geez, Hange!” You half shouted, causing your already exhausted partner to shrink further into their chair. “You bury yourself in your work so often, but I didn’t think you would forget our anniversary of all things! Am I seriously such a low priority to you?!”

They straightened their back suddenly, and you were reminded of how defensive they got when they felt their work was being insulted. “I have an important job, Y/N! I can’t forfeit everything to spend time with you, I have to keep working!”

You wanted nothing of their excuses, and you turned your back to them, balling up your fists as you headed towards the door, tears prickling the corners of your eyes.

“Fine,” you shuddered, “If you want to spend our anniversary alone, then be my guest!”

---

“Shit,” they paced back and forth on the wooden floor, subconsciously biting their fingernails out of stress. “Shit shit shit...”

Erwin raised an eyebrow at this, watching Hange with a stern, but amused expression. “Are you done?” His voice echoed in the small office.

“Well, four eyes,” Levi spoke, using his favorite nickname for them nonchalantly, “The first step would be to not yell at her.” He answered bluntly.

Hange threw their arms up in frustration. “Yeah, well it’s too late for that!” They grumbled. “I didn’t mean to yell at them... I was just...”

“Cranky?” Levi raised an eyebrow.

They glared at Levi with a relatively displeased expression. “You didn’t have to put it that way...”

A comfortable silence passed the room, and Hange continued to pace the room nervously as Erwin and Levi silently contemplated the estranged person’s query.

“If you really want to make it up to them,” Levi piped up once again, drawing the scientist’s attention away from their thoughts and towards the black haired man sat on the table in front of them. “Then I may have an idea.”

“YES!” Hange shouted, perhaps a little too loud as the two men in the room cringed. “Uh, I mean...” They cleared their throat. “What is it, Levi?”

“Well, first, Erwin.” Levi turned his head to face the blonde man, and Erwin matched his gaze intently. “You’re going to need to give Hange the day off, first.”

Erwin turned his head to the side, folding his arms and sighing, “Use it responsibly.”

“Thank you Erwin!” They flung their arms around the man’s broad shoulders, squeezing him happily in a hug.

They let go after a few seconds, turning to face Levi with and excited expression. “What now Levi?!”

“First,” he deadpanned, “Take a nap. You look miserable.”

---

You strode down the hallways of the barracks, a stern expression still planted on your face from the day’s earlier events.

You decided to play it just like Hange, so you deliberately avoided them in hopes to get them to understand. Was it petty? A little bit. Were you just petty enough to do it anyway? Yeah.

Still, when Erwin pulled you aside out of nowhere and said he needed you urgently, you couldn’t disobey your superior. Not that you had any indication this had to do with Hange, anyway.

“Y/N.” He spoke, boring a serious expression, despite the wildly unprofessional nature of the meeting. “You’re needed somewhere.”

“Wha...” You stumbled over your words for a moment, before asking the first question that came to mind. “Me? Why not someone else?”

He dodged the question effortlessly, continuing right where he left off. “It has to be you. And you have to go alone.” He slid a paper across your desk, but you hesitated to pick it up so quickly.

“Just go to the location I’ve marked here.” He uncrossed his arms and leaned back in his chair, signifying that he had finished speaking. “You’ll understand when you get there. Go.”

You nodded fiercely, saluting him before you turned to leave, picking up the paper as you went.

“And Y/N?” You turned to face him. “Take off your ODM gear. Wear something formal.

---

You went to the location Erwin had specified, and you were only left with more confusion. You had put on something somewhat nice, with a white button up shirt, black dress pants, and shiny black dress shoes. Still, their was no sign of any sort of “mission” that Erwin apparently needed from you.

You had found yourself in an open field, specifically the one behind the Scout regiment building. The tall grass swayed in the wind, and you noted the fact that the usual soldiers sparring in the fields were strangely absent.

But, as the sun began to set, a small light peered it’s way into your vision. You squinted, focuses your eyes on what appeared to be... a candle...?

You stuffed the map into your back pocket carelessly, speed-walking to the light out of curiosity.

You made it towards the source of the light, and it was, indeed, a candle. Of course, there was more than that. It was set on a small circular table draped in a white tablecloth, one chair on either side of it. Two empty wine glasses as well as a few pairs of utensils on each side.

You studied the sight curiously, and you pulled out a chair without thinking. As soon as you did though, you felt a hand on your shoulder, making you jump and squeak out in surprise.

You heard a hearty chuckle behind you, and you turned to face the source of the noise, but your eyes widened in surprise at the sight.

Hange stood tall in a jet black suit, smiling down at you warmly. They had their hair tied in a ponytail, and had ditched their work goggles for more formal rectangular glasses. “Sorry, Y/N.” They rubbed the back of their neck nervously. “I didn’t mean to scare you.”

You took a step back, shamelessly eyeing down Hange’s attire, a pink blush creeping up on your cheeks. You meant to stay angry, but you honestly had forgotten all of your gripes upon seeing Hange dressed in such a nice outfit.

“Hange?” You sputtered, trying to hide your fluster. “What’s going on?”

They walked over to you, grabbing your shoulders and pushing you down to sit in one of the chairs.

“I felt a little bad about forgetting our anniversary,” They chuckled nervously, “So I set this up!” They smiled proudly.

“A candlelit dinner?” You mused, raising an eyebrow in amusement. “How original.” Despite your outwardly unamused reaction, you were pleasantly surprised with the display of affection.

They sat down across from you, tucking a strand of hair behind their ear.

“It’s well thought out.” You raised an eyebrow in doubt. “For the time we had...” They smiled nervously.

“I’m sure.” You chuckled. You relaxed into your chair before holding up your empty wine glass. “Did you bring anything other than empty dishes?”

Hange nodded quickly, reaching down under their table to grab something, and you quickly realized that it was the neck of a wine bottle. They popped the cork effortlessly, and poured the two of you a glass each.

You took a sip from your glass, the taste of alcohol relaxing you further into your environment.

Hange put two of theirs fingers in the their mouth and whistled loudly, causing you to wince and cover you ears.

“What was that??” You sputtered.

“Just calling over the cook.”

You nodded, taking another long sip from your wine glass. The suddenness of the situation died down, and you peered up at Hange, who seemed to be staring at you nervously. They seemed to be trying to gauge your reaction, but you weren’t giving them anything to work with, so you decided to start speaking.

“You went out of your way to do this?” You sighed, staring at them curiously.

“Yeah...” They trailed off, “I had to make it up y’know. It really wasn’t my intention to ignore you...”

They looked back up at you, and you tilted your head, prompting them to continue.

“I got consumed in my work, and completely forgot about something so important to you. It’s my mistake.” They bowed their head in apology. “So I set this up. I even got Erwin and Levi to help. I just wanted to make it up to you. I just wanted...” They looked to the side with a blush on their face. “...to make you happy.”

You smiled softly at them, understanding their apology.

“It’s fine, Hange.” You laughed out loud, causing Hange to blush at your beautiful face in the candlelight. “I forgive you.”

They smiled, relief washing over her face as the weight lifted off of their shoulders. “Thank god...” They muttered, leaning back in their chair. “I was afraid I fucked up...” They giggled.

Their face in the yellow hue of the candle make them look ethereal, and you couldn’t help your heart from fluttering as the overwhelming urge to kiss them overtook you.

You peered up through shy eyes and met their bright ones. You didn’t explain at all, but they seemed to understand as you scooted your chair closer and leaned forward. They leaned towards you as well, as your lips connected delicately. You felt their hands go up to cup your cheeks gently as you rested your own hands on the table.

You stayed like that, silently enjoying the moment for what felt like ages, until you heard a small sound to your side.

“Ahem,” The noise startled you to lean back a little bit, and Hange did the same. A man, donned in a formal outfit holding a tray of luxurious looking food.

“Ah, sorry, sorry...” Hange trailed over, slinking back into their chair quickly, their demeanor and posture not at all aligning with the formal connotations of their attire and the setting before them. You had straightened in your chair almost immediately, blushing at the fact that someone had witnessed you sharing a somewhat intimate moment with Hange.

The waiter said nothing, only rolling his eyes as he set the tray down upon the table, before turning around to walk away silently.

You scooped some food onto your plate, watching admirably as Hange did the same. Once they had finished, they turned their head up to meet your gaze before smiling.

“Happy anniversary, love.”

This feels bad but oh well lol.

Also sorry this took so long lol I’ve been busy :|

[sereina-archive]

The power hardly ever goes out in Anistar, especially for something as mundane as a simple storm. But today it's especially bad apparently, since they're sitting in the dark bundled up in blankets while the rain pelts hard at the windows. It's not so hard to pass the time while they wait, it's nice to just be in eachother's presence just as always. It's comfortable and sweet, but Red decides to make it a bit more interesting.

"What if…everytime the thunder rolls in, I kiss you." He suggests only half innocently, "and maybe the louder the thunder is, the deeper the kiss will be."

It wasn’t very often that a storm rolled though that was bad enough to knock out power. This was one of those storms, deep grey clouds rolling in and turning the blue afternoon skies into something sinister and dark. Most of their teams had either filtered outside knowing a storm was approaching, while others stuck to the indoors to hunker down. Serena knew it was going to be quite the storm, receiving several alerts on her phone in warning. It wasn’t uncommon to see people taking walks through their neighborhood, but as the winds began to pick up, it was practically deserted.

They’d chosen to hunker down in the living room, Serena watching him play a game on the TV. It only began to grow darker, rain began to patter against in the window in large drops. Flashes of lightning cleaved through the dark, one bolt striking down within the city itself. The accompanying thunder sounded like the crack of a whip, happening hardly a second after the strike. The noise slowly dissolved into low rumbling, enough to shake the house slightly.

Serena had been opening her mouth to make a comment, when everything in house suddenly shut off. There was a resounding silence that fell over them, only the sound of the rain hitting the windows filled that void momentarily, before Serena laughed quietly.

“Well,” she starts, standing up from the couch, “at least I have plenty of candles!” She started placing candles around the house, making sure they were away from curtains and other flammable things, before enlisting the help of Merlin to light them all the same time.

When she returned, she saw Red had gotten up to fetch a multitude of blankets from the linen closet, already bundled up himself despite not really needing to. It was likely just for comfort, and for her, but she wasn’t complaining. Seeing him among the blankets was really cute.

Serena settled in the blanket pile next to him, wiggling her way beneath and to get closer to him. The candles lit up in the house cast the rooms in a soft glow, flashes of lightning outside also momentarily making things brighter. It’d been so long since she had to deal with a power outage that she wasn’t sure about what to do. It’d probably be best to stay off her phone in case of an emergency, not wanting to deplete the battery. 

She took his hand in hers, idly trailing her finger over his palm, when he spoke up, grabbing her attention immediately. There’s a flutter in her stomach as she smiles in response to his idea. “That sounds fun,” she pauses, hearing a quick clap of thunder outside, before her grin turned into more of a smirk, “better get to work, huh?”

The peck on her lips was quick, as short as the thunder that had been previously heard. She giggled, eyes moving to look towards the windows in anticipation for the next flash of lightning.

Either the storm was somehow getting worse, or some deity of lightning and thunder was looking out for them, because it grew a lot more intense right when they decided to play this little game. Most of the thunder rolling overhead was only a second or two, but there had been a couple that rolled and rumbled for close to ten seconds before it tapered off.

Those were her favorites so far, allowing their kisses to grow much deeper, and last longer. They always left her breathless, wanting more, and the storm delivered. It was still raining hard, the noise of drops hitting the window muffling out her heart racing in her ears.

Another resounding clap of thunder, and another kiss. She placed her hands on either side of him, leaning in further as she heard the vague noise of dishware rattling in the cupboards. Even with the thunder coming to an end, she chose not to part, and he wasn’t either, their kiss only deepening further and further. The storm was a far off concern in her mind, Serena totally forgetting that the power was even out in the first place. She felt fire through her veins, the weather only making her feel further electrified.

She needed him, like the earth needed rain.

Studio Sessions 3

It's Min Yoongi's birthday and you're ready to give him whatever he wants. When he makes a sarcastic wish while blowing out the candles he didn't think you'd take it seriously. But he's glad you did.

When word spreads about these special "Studio Sessions" everyone wants to collaborate. A chaptered 0T7 smut. 

These stand alone but you won't want to miss reading all of them!

The Collaborators

Part One : Taehyung

Part Two: Jimin

This one gets a bit rough 18+

The Namjoon & Hoseok Collaboration

You made your way through the maze of BigHit hallways, mission: Hobi and Joon.

The practice rooms were all on the lower levels, fully equipped with cameras, sound systems, mirrors and everything else you'd need to make your "video". Inhaling deeply you pushed the doors open, this was going to be a challenge. 

Hobi was working on choreo and Joon was on his phone, their attention shifting to you when you locked the door. "Are we in trouble?" Namjoon laughed. 

"I guess that depends on how you look at it." you answered. "I'm going to cut to the chase guys, we need to have sex." 

Namjoon laughed nervously, "I guess it's been a while but I wouldn't say I need to."

Chiming in Hobi added, "I just had sex last week...and you and Yoongi have sex all the time?" You walked over to the motion sensor camera and flicked it on, enabling the direct  share.

"I mean, we have to have sex together."

They stared at each other and both started laughing. "Is this some kind of joke?"

The stereo was next, syncing it to your Bluetooth you put on your makeout playlist and sent Yoongi his link to watch the recording. "No joke, it's Yoongi's birthday wish that I get the shit fucked out of me." 

Hobi grabbed a bottle of water, "I don't believe it, why us? This has to be a set up."

You walked over to him grabbing the bottle,"It's no fucking joke Hoseok, I just found out that my boyfriend and you fucked, now I want my turn." 

Namjoon's face went completely red, "is this your first time finding that information out too?" you questioned him.

"So this is a revenge thing? Because that was years ago, it's not like he cheated on you." Hope was getting defensive.

"Not revenge at all actually, I just don't think it's fair that he's had your dick in his ass and I haven't." Walking over to the lights you turned the dimmer switch. 

"I don't think I need to be involved in this." Namjoon moved to the door. 

"Listen, call Taehyung, just ask, ask him about how he got to fuck me while Yoongi watched." 

Their jaws dropped and neither moved to make that call. Holding up your phone you hit Tae's contact and put it on speaker. He answered "hello" groggily, "Hey, were you sleeping? Did I tire you out today?" you asked. 

He chuckled, "You did, I'm just resting up in case you want to go again."

You raised your eyebrow at Joon, "I do, that's why I'm calling. I need your help."

You could hear him shifting, "Fuck Y/N, Yoongi wasn't kidding. You really are insatiable. Where do you want me? Are you still in the studio?"

You giggled at his exuberance, "Sorry Tae, you already had your turn. I'm here with Hobi and Joon and it seems they're not as eager as you were."

"Namjoons a prude, and I'm pretty sure that while Hope swings both ways, he prefers guys." Tae's deep voice carried through the studio.

"Hey asshole you're on speaker." Hope countered back.

Tae chuckled, "You're liars if you're going to pretend you haven't thought about it. Yoongi Hyung is giving you a free pass to fuck his girlfriend and...ten out of ten, I highly recommend it."

_______________________________

Yoongi watched the livelink, his monitor displaying you circling the two men like prey. They were reluctantly giving in to your advances as you dissolved what little will power they had. He had to give them credit for at least questioning your motives unlike Jimin and Taehyung. 

_______________________________

Hanging up the call with Taehyung you waited for their answer. 

Hoseok moved towards you while looking into the camera to address Yoongi. "So you never told her that we used to be a thing? You didn't want to tell her why we always chose each other as roommates? Too embarrassed to tell her how good I used to fuck you?"

He was standing in front of you, "Show me Hoseok, show me how he liked to be fucked, please...I want it...want you."

Grabbing your hair and pulling your head back he licked from your collar bone to your chin. "Does he still like it rough?" You went weak in the knees, you'd never expected this from happy little Hobi. 

Namjoon was standing by the door contemplating whether or not he should flee the room. His phone vibrated.

Yoongi: It's okay, just fuck her. 

Mentally wrestling his morals Joon moved to the makeup chair.

Hobi lifted your dress and pulled your underwear down. "Oh look Joon, she's got a really pretty shaved pussy." 

He stuck his finger between your legs and quickly dipped it inside you. "Wet little slut." He said as he pulled out the slick covered digit and licked it clean. 

"She's tasty Yoongi, If she were mine I'd never take my face out of her cunt."  

He certainly knew what he was doing, a perpetual showman. You wondered how Yoongi was feeling watching the performance being put on just for him? 

Grabbing your hair again he pulled you over to Namjoon, "I think our leader needs some convincing." 

Joon didn't want to look you in the eye, he really was a prude. Removing every piece of clothing you stood naked presenting yourself before him, "You don't have to do this Y/N." His face finally turning to meet yours. 

"I want to," you let your fingers caress your breast, "Don't you want me Joon?" Leaning over you brushed his cheek and moved in to place a small delicate kiss on his lips. 

Dropping your hand between his thighs you could feel his swelling bulge. "Haven't you wondered what it would feel like to be inside me…" you undid his zipper, "I know you've heard Yoongi and I through the hotel wall. Did you ever get off listening to us fuck?" 

He groaned, his dick was full and ready, all sensibility shifting from his brain to his crotch. He grabbed your head with his large hand and pulled you onto his lips kissing you. "You have no idea how many times I've had to touch myself listening to you cum." 

Hoseok stood pants down, already stroking himself. "Let's get these off," you motioned to their clothes. 

Standing up you finally got a look at both their bodies. You always knew Joon was thick, his body was muscular but you never expected him to have a fat cock. The anticipation of him stretching you out made you somehow impossibly hornier. 

Hobi was very much like his frame, long and thin, the kind of cock that could hit deep. He, just like you, was completely clean shaven. 

Dropping to your knees you grabbed them, one in each hand. Your mouth moving back and forth trying to give them equal attention. Every now and  again you'd make sure to stare into the camera, reminding Yoongi that it was him on your mind. Saliva dripping off their cocks as they praised you, you wondered, was he watching? 

Helping you up from your knees both men stationed themselves on either side of your body. A sheer wave of ecstasy ran through you as they each attached themselves to a nipple.

"Oh my god, fuck, someone needs to fucking get their fingers inside me... I'm going to cum so hard."

As good as having your tits sucked felt, having them both sucked at the same time was mind blowing.

Hope's long fingers made their way inside you pumping and rubbing your g spot mercilessly until you squirted all over the studio floor. 

"Are you ready to get that ass fucked now baby?" Hoseok looked at you with greed in his eyes. 

Taking Joon by the hand and leading him to the bench you pumped his cock, "only if I can take you both at the same time."

Both men moaned audibly at the idea. "Lay down on your back," you instructed Joon. Straddling him you sank down slowly onto his red weeping dick.

As predicted, he filled you perfectly, pussy lips stretched around him tightly. Hobi stood back cupping his balls waiting his turn.

"Fuck Joon your cock is phenomenal." Your cunt was so needy he slid in and out of you with ease, covered in your thick cream. 

"Are you ready Hope?" He grinned like the Cheshire cat moving behind you. 

Sticking his fingers in your mouth he stroked them over your tongue. Pulling them back out, strands of  saliva landed on your back before he eagerly stuck his pointer straight into your ass.

"Nice and relaxed, I bet Yoongi fucks your little hole all the time doesn't he?" 

When you didn't respond he sharply smacked you leaving a bright red welt across your ass cheek.

"Fucking answer me." He was unexpectedly rough, but it was okay. You wouldn't let him break you.

The Second finger went in deep and fast with no warning as you gasped for breath. Joon pulled your face down, "relax and focus on me."

The contrast between Joon's gentle ways and Hobi's roughness created a perfect balance of pleasure and pain. Leaning into him you kissed his lips as Hobi began pushing his cock into you.

"Good girl," he purred as he picked up speed. "Who's better at fucking your ass...hmmm me or Yoongi?"

You didn't answer and his hand struck you again. "I asked you a fucking question baby girl?"

Tears rolled down your cheek landing on Joons face. "You need to answer me."

Trying to distract yourself, you pressed your lips to Joons and ground yourself into his pubic mound stimulating your clit. Pulling your hair and yanking you away from Joon he asked again.

"Yoongi! 

_______________________________

Was it going too far? He couldn't tell. You hadn't used the safe word but he had never been this rough with you. When you called his name he jumped from his chair ready to run to the practice room. Hand about to turn the handle your words made him go back to watching. 

_______________________________

"Fucking Yoongi! Your cock is nothing compared to his." 

Another hard slap landed across your flesh but this time you laughed. "Is that all you have?"

Fucking yourself harder against him you refused to let him have the upper hand. "No wonder he never told me about you if this is all you've got." 

Aggression and anger filling the air, you were all erotically charged. Everyone thrusting harder and faster you came, squeezing Namjoon inside you. "Can I cum in you?" He panted. No sooner than the yes left your lips his cum was shooting inside you. Hoseok was hanging onto your hips like a vice as he found his end pulling out and cumming on your back. 

_______________________________

Yoongi left his studio in a rush to collect you. He knew your physical tiredness would be compounded by the emotionally draining exhaustion from this round. He just wanted to take care of you. 

_______________________________

Joon hugged you while Hoseok apologized for taking things too far. Reassuring him everything was okay between you, you kissed his cheek.

Turning the lock and twisting the handle Yoongi stood waiting. He pulled you into his embrace and kissed your forehead, "Are you okay, do you want to stop?" 

You kissed the back of his hand, "Do you really think I'm going to give up when I'm one away from Jeon Jungkook?"
