AN: this is my first post back on tumblr in forever. I don’t foresee myself necessarily posting fics here fully time, but post the occasional fic that i am extra proud of. I still am really only posting on AO3 (sevikasplanet).

hope you enjoy.

.

Heavy breaths slow as you come down from your high. Your mind on cloud nine, you almost miss the whispers of reassurance coming from your blonde haired lover beside you. Abby pulls you in to lay directly on top of her. Your nose nuzzling into its designated spot in the crook of her neck. Soft kisses litter her skin as the both of you slow your breathing. You lift your head to look at the blue eyed girl with a toothy smile. No matter how many times the two of you have been intimate, a shy nature subcomes you. Abby chuckles at you with a light hearted roll of her eyes.

“We have been together for almost eight years, married for two of them. How are you still so shy?” Her big palm caresses your thigh as you try to return to your position you previously were in. Abby would not have any of that, the woman tilting your chin to face her with a loving look in her eye.

“I love you, baby.” Abby smiles. Your heart soars at the words left from her lips. That was something you could never get tired of.

“I love you too, Abs.” You plant a slow kiss to her lips, enjoying the feeling of her plush pillows contorting with yours.

Days like these were often very rare in the Anderson household. Abby is a very successful orthopedic surgeon, and you work full-time as a research specialist. The pair of you met while working at the same hospital you do now. Funnily enough, running into doctors was quite the rarity as you were on a completely different wing from your now wife. You had met the big goofy blonde in the cafeteria. It was your first week starting your new job at the hospital’s research facility. To say it was stressful becoming acquainted would be a complete understatement. Everything felt as if it were divinely fated against you (you do have the flair for dramatics and intense perfectionism). Even the stupid fucking self check out machine was laughing at your apparent stupidity.

Abby ran into you having a bit of…technical difficulties as you slammed your badge furiously across the scanner for the millionth time in the span of five minutes. It was pure luck that Abby just so happened to forget her lunch at her apartment today as she rushed to get ready for work. An incredulous chuckle left her mouth, not really sure if this was a bit or not. Tha confusion quickly went away when she heard your frustrated mutters of not so professional language leave your mouth.

“Stupid fuckin’ robot, n’ you’re ‘posed to take my job in the future? Dumb fuck!” Your pouty lips and furrowed brows were unlike anything Abby has ever seen. To this day, she swears this is when she started falling in love with you. Time fell frozen in her mind as she watched you, the most beautiful person she has ever seen.

“Um, I think I can help you with that, if you don’t mind?” Abby clears her throat, feeling the heat rise to her face as all of your attention turns to the buff woman before you.

Left opening your mouth like a fish out of water, your embarrassment flooded through your system– it left you hindered to speak as you nodded your head. All Abby can do is fondly smile at the person before her, what can she say, you have peaked her interest. Abby grazes her hand across yours as she reaches for your badge. Electricity flows through both of your veins at the small connection of your hands. If Abby wasn’t bright red before, she was now. She shook her head lightly as if she was telling herself to remain on task, and did just that. You practically facepalm yourself as you see the freckled face woman flip your badge to the correct side and swipe.

“Oh my god I just threw a tantrum over that.” You giggled at the situation you put yourself in.

“Here, why don’t I buy you your lunch? As a thank you for your hard work uh–” Your eyes trail to the name embroidered onto her white coat. “Dr. Anderson.” A wide smile beams from your mouth, unbeknownst to you, your forever was awaiting right in front of you.

Abby pulls away with a reminiscent smile on her face. Abby was never one to indulge in romantic relationships,at least not the long term kind, until she met you. For the majority of her adult years, Abby spent her time with her head down and her nose between her books. She would spend the little free time she had at the gym or with her close knit group of friends and family. Becoming a successful orthopedic surgeon at her age took hand work and dedication, and if her father taught her anything it would be just that. The Andersons were resilient and Abby was a direct product of that.

Never having known her mother, Abby grew up around doctors. Her second home was the hospital’s daycare. Although Jerry tried his best to be around Abby, there were times where the blonde was left to raise herself. Jerry was open minded and well informed, he lacked the experience of womanhood. Abby was never keen on stereotypical “girl” things. That did help him in raising her, though if Abby did turn out to love tutus and sparkles, he would be the first to participate. Abby appreciated having Jerry as her number one fan. You would think that he would pressure the girl into becoming a successful neurosurgeon, leading a life just as fruitful, but that was not the case. Jerry understood that doing what you loved was the greater purpose of life. Abby just so happened to have a fascination with fixing broken things– where that be bones broken or the relationships of friends. Yet, she never found time to get into relationships herself. Thus, when she found you, she knew she couldn’t let you go. From the moment she saw you halfway to breaking the self checkout scanner, she needed to find a way to fix her way into your life. Those eight years of fixing turned from putting together your pesky IKEA desk, to fixing the hinges on your squeaky door, to finally fixing the ring on your finger, cementing your future together.

The pair of you wouldn’t change the last eight years for the life of you. Those days came with love and laughter. Specifically, unbeknownst to many, Abby liked to play pranks. You, being someone who disliked surprises, somehow fell in love with a six foot two goofball. Her residents would think you were insane for associating Abby with the word goofball. She was nothing shy of a hardass when it came to work. Her pouty lips and furrowed eyebrows were a staple at the Seattle Hospital. She finds it hilarious that the interns are scared of her. Her fellow residents must comply with her reputation when they really know that she is the first one to call when times get hard.

“I have a gift for you coming in at the end of the week.”

The tall blonde smugly smirks as her rough fingers gently contrast her light touches on your naked body on top of hers. Her smile widens as your breath hitches, like you know where this is going.

“A gift? What do you have planned, Dr.Anderson?”

A groan emits from her throat, knowing what that title does to her when you use it. I mean, it is the reason why you two ended up rustling in bed on your day off.

Abby laughs while squeezing the fat of your thigh.

“Nothing you have to worry about. Lover. Just know that you’ll enjoy it just like you seemed to enjoy today.”

A nibble on your earlobe makes your shiver as the soreness between your thighs makes you remember the details of your rendezvous with your wife. Your face smooshes into the crevasse of her neck and shoulder in embarrassment. Abby smiles, ready for her prank to commence.

If you would have known that your wife would go out of her way to make your life unbearably distressing for the next week then you would have told her to take her gift and shove it up her ass. Every waking moment, Abby has decided to tease you. Relentlessly. Constant reminders throughout your day about your gift— that you should be expecting by Saturday— could have never possibly left your mind with how she never let you forget. Her lips trail all of your sweet spots in passing throughout your mornings. Strong hands roughly spread your asscheeks disgustingly well as she wetly explores the inside of your mouth in a storage closet near your lab. Whimpers leaving your lips as your wife teases your nipples while you prepare dinner. Tweaking them in her hands as she whispers dirty thoughts in your ear. Throwing you on the bed, licking, sucking, prodding, and prying at your plush thighs, groaning from below you. Calling you from your lab to an empty office, making you grind on her thigh, then rudely leaving you hot and bothered. Yet, whenever you begged for her to continue, she would find an excuse to not move on.

It’s not that you’d say your sex drive is unnecessarily high, but you have a sexy stallion of a wife, who could blame you? It got to the point where she was the only thing on your mind all day. You felt immense need thrumming through your bones at all possible hours of the day, and you weren’t sure how much longer you could take it. Luckily for you, Saturday was on the horizon. From the moment you woke up, you were by Abigail’s side clinging to her every movement.

Of course, your wife found this to be very endearing and hilarious. Any time you heard a shuffle outside of the front door, you pearled up like a dog. The worst part of the day was waiting anxiously for whatever “gift” your wife had for you. By the time you were growing annoyed, Abby picked you up and threw you over her shoulder—army style.

“Abigail!!! What the fuck are you doing?!” You squealed out between heavy laughs.

To say that you were complaining, ESPECIALLY with the view of her ass you’re getting would be a lie. A loud smack recoils from your hand slapping your wife’s sculpted butt cheek. A faux gasp leaves her lips.

“I’d be careful, baby, I’m the one carrying you.” Abby laughs at your wiggling ceasing. A smack lands on your backside, and although you can’t see her, you know that sexy and cocky smirk adorns her face. Especially after that loud whimper that leaves your lips. Abby flops you on the bed after she makes it up to your shared bedroom. Like a predator to its prey, she slowly stalks up to your lips, her body on top of yours. Her hair loose from her normal solo french braid, creating a halo of hair surrounding your face.

“Hi, beautiful.” Abby purrs as a hand of yours tucks her golden locks behind her ears, caressing her cheek in your palm. No matter the situation, Abby never fails to erupt butterflies in your stomach. Your face turns away from her loving and lustful eyes at the term of endearment.

“Uh uh, baby, look at me. C’mon, you’ve been so good this week. Wouldn’t wanna ruin your surprise now, would you?” Abby coos.

Your eyes snap back to hers, snapping into that submissive state she’s had you in oh so many times. You shake your head and respond to her with a ‘no’.

“Good.” Abby says as she quickly plants a sweet kiss to your lips. You whine in protest at the quick peck, wanting more, yet all your lover does is pinch your cheek with a smirk.

“Patience, baby. I’m gonna go get your gift now, okay?” And with that, the blonde scurried into your en suite bathroom.

Now what you didn’t see would be the devilish smile attached to her face. Abby might be a gentle giant and a fierce lover, but that did not stop her from being wildly competitive. Her need for pranking you only came after a small prank you pulled on her the first year of dating. Thus, ultimately creating an 8 year long prank war between the two of you. Abby even going as far as pranking you on your wedding day.

-2 years ago-

It was a beautiful day to have a wedding, and you could not have been more sure that you were making the best decision of your life. Your intimate wedding occurred at the private beach and house that Jerry owned. The view was spectacular, and so was the day. Before the wedding took place, Abby and yourself decided that you would want to have a private “first look” with you, her, and her friend Leah—a professional photographer. You were practically bouncing off the walls with how excited you were to see the love of your life. You were so curious about what she would wear. So, when it was time to turn around, you were surprised to see your future wife in a blow up dinosaur suit. Your jaw dropped as Abby couldn’t contain her fits of laughter, her tiny dinosaur hands trying to hold you. After your initial shock, you joined in on the continuous laughter. The pictures of your reaction were priceless, and to this day, it is her phone lockscreen.

Silly things like this was what made you sure that you made the correct decision, even if what she is about to do will royally piss you off.

“Close your eyes!” Is yelled from the bathroom with a slight giggle to her tone. Your eyes roll before you cover your eyes with your hands, you know already that Abby hates when you peak.

“They’re closed! C’mon I'm getting bored, Abs.” You yell back.

You can hear the blonde shuffling from the bathroom, trying to hold back her laughs. This sound confirmed to you that your wife was up to something very, very stupid.

“Okay, open up.” Abby bites back a smile as she stands at the foot of the bed.

Your eyes open and your mouth immediately flys open in shock.

“Dr.Anderson will see you now.” She tries to stay composed, clearly failing at the sound of her quiet chuckles.

Abby had teased you relentlessly for a week, turning you on to levels unknown…for an ill fitting “sexy” doctors costume? She looked absolutely ridiculous in this outfit. The costume fit her like an adult trying to put a toddlers dress on. The low cut white dress with a slit on both sides hardly fit over her wide shoulders and built physique. The buttons pulled at a tension so great you were shocked that they didn’t burst. The zipper not even getting the chance to zip due to her ridiculously muscular stature. The fishnet stallings digging into her wide thighs, topping it off with a very very tiny thong. To say that you were not expecting this would say the least.

“Abigail. What. The. Actual. Fuck!” You throw your head back in a loud cackle. Your belly hurting from the intense laughter bubbling up inside. She takes a stride towards you, but stops just as fast as a loud ‘riiiiip’ noise is heard. Her eyes bulge out of her head as she turns around. Her ass and thong fully hanging out as the fishnets now have a large hole on them. A howl erupts from both of your lips at the ridiculousness of it all.

It takes moments for you both to calm down, and after many pictures taken, Abby takes off the costume and joins you back on the bed.

“Although you got me really good, I'm still kinda mad at you for teasing me like that.” You pout at your wife.

Abby trails her hand up to where you need it most, caressing your clothed core. Her lips trailing up to your ear.

“Oh, babe, I’ll be sure to make it up to you.”

Fresh Pet

pt.2

They woke up leaning back in a chair. A lot of things were immediately brought to their attention. Soft, leather cuffs with a straight bar were chained to the table, holding their wrists in front of them. Something was covering their face and pushing down on their tongue, stopping them from talking. It took a moment for Whumpee’s mind to catch up to what it was.

A muzzle.

But they didn’t have long to dwell on that realization as the door opened and two people walked in. The first was a tall woman in a suit. She had a very professional demeanor about her. The second was shorter, dressed more casually, jeans instead of slacks, a button up shirt, but no blazer, although they looked a little stressed, and they kept messing with one of the buttons on their shirt. Whumpee pulled back as the shorter one approached, they sat in the chair opposite Whumpee. The woman just walked to a corner of the room, she had a clipboard and an oddly cheery disposition.

“Wow, you weren’t kidding.” It came with a nervous laugh as the person across from them looked back to the woman “Shouldn’t they have been out for another couple hours?”

“Yes. The agent we worked with said they had an oddly strong resistance to the sedatives.”

Whumpee hated this, it was already getting hard to focus as panic from their situation started to rise, and their shallow breaths weren’t helping as they tried another tug of their cuffs.

“Oh no. They look so stressed.” The shorter one said it with surprising sincerity. And the woman off to the side chimed in.

“That’s normal, Whumper. The pets you usually get have been conditioned before they get to you. It is still an option if you want.” A pet. Conditioned. This person was insane, and they gave the lady a look that said as much, but their attention was brought back to the person they now knew as Whumper.

“No. I did my research, I know it’s hard work, but I can do this. The pets I get from facilities are just never quite right, and I’ve had my eye on this one for so long. I don’t want to mess it up.” Their vision had gone blurry, but that had really gotten to them. How long had this person been stalking them? How long had they been planning this? They had clearly paid off at least two people for their creepy fantasy, how many more people were involved in this? They could feel hot tears form in their eyes.

“They look really stressed. Is it something I said?” Their… buyer must have seen their very outward signs of distress, but that woman chimed in again with more reassurances.

“No, no. They just aren’t used to you yet. I’ve seen a lot of new pets, before conditioning, that go through this phase. Most of them don’t even know being a pet is an option until it’s explained to them. Besides that, you have to remember, they were pulled out of their home environment, and, especially with the drive over, waking up in a new place, I’m sure it was really stressful for them.”

“You’re right. I know you are, it’s just a little jarring. I did read that explaining the situation could help. What do you think?”

Explain the situation. What the hell is wrong with these people? 

“Yes, I think that is a very good decision.” 

Wrong. Bad decision, Whumpee just wanted to leave, and this person who thought humans could be pets was getting closer and was definitely not helping the situation.

“Hi, I’m Whumper.” It was said in a very calm, reassuring voice.

It was neither, and in fact, just made it worse, as Whumpee struggled to keep their thoughts in front of them. They had to stay here if they ever wanted to get out.

“I know this is very stressful for you, but if we work together, I think this will be a very good forever-home for you.”

NO. Holy shit. No. And they tried to say as much, but the muzzle stopped anything other than muffled cries and whimpers from getting out. And to top it all off, the tears that had been welling up in their eyes were finally falling. Every word made it harder to stop their mind from trying to run away, but the ringing had started. 

“Did I say something wrong?”

“Of course not. You saw the condition they were in when we arrived. I doubt anything you could have said would have caused a different ending. I did prepare for this though.” The words took a moment for Whumpee to fully understand, most of it was muffled by the ringing or the blood rushing or their heart pounding in their chest. It took even longer for them to understand the sharp pain somewhere on their arm. A syringe. with the syringe. It wasn’t long before the drug mixed with their already distant mind and everything faded.

morvant mortuary x the boy au - prologue

don’t mind me, just posting a snippet here to give me motivation to finish my damn diss chapter and get it sent off tomorrow so I can go back to working on this thing I’ve been fiddling with all summer

Even the realtor had seemed hesitant to show you the old funeral home on the edge of town, despite both the fact that it had been for sale for years now, and that she, like you, was just starting out in her line of work. In fact, just as you were looking to start your own business, it appeared you were slated to be her first real potential buyer.

Beverly was a bubbly blonde in all pink, grasping your extended hand with both of her perfectly manicured ones like you were long-estranged family when you’d introduced yourself to her that morning.

“Oh, call me Bev, everyone does,” she’d said brightly, with only a hint of how often she must’ve practiced this studied casualness in the mirror every day.

Despite the fact that there couldn’t have been more than five years between the two of you, something about her in her small town Main Street office felt… older. You weren’t sure if it was the fact that she was wearing a vintage suit set of a matching blazer and skirt (a clever reproduction or a cherished hand-me-down, you weren’t sure), or the way her hair was stiff with mousse in a way that reminded you of your teachers in mortuary school. Standing in front of her, you got the vaguest impression that her concept of becoming a working professional was either heavily inspired by her mother’s standards, or 9 to 5. (Which you admitted was a masterpiece, but still.)

…And yet, as badly as she must have needed this, it was as though whatever money she stood to make from the sale, or the triumph over a seemingly unsellable listing, didn’t make her any more eager for the drive out -- much less walking inside.

But if you were ever going to be able to afford opening your own funeral home, you had to save your money where you could — even if it meant gutting a building and refinishing everything yourself. Even if it meant living in and servicing a town like Greymoon, that hardly anyone had ever heard of unless they were born there.

But hey, this was the cheapest place you’d seen yet, and if the facilities were at all usable, it was that much less work for you in the long run.

Maybe you’d be able to afford that cherry red Frigid embalming machine after all… although you were trying not to get your hopes up yet.

You were determined to make this work, even when Bev had hemmed and hawed as soon as you said you wanted to see the property.

Or when, like a nervous lap dog, you couldn't get her to walk through the front door.

As you stared through into the foyer (still dark at high noon, you couldn’t help but note), she lingered hesitantly on the weathered porch out front (the wood surprisingly still solid, despite the number of years this place was supposed to be abandoned). When you stood waiting for her in the doorway, she clutched her binders like an antsy school girl, her perfectly coiffed hair and pink retro suit set suddenly looking like she’d filched her mother's clothes for a dress-up game.

"You go on and take your time, hon," Bev said at last, her smile as wide as she could make it. "I... just need to make a phone call. Holler if you have any questions, okay? I’ll be right out here.”

That maybe should have been a sign.

“Um.” You were trying very hard not to seem too thrown off by this. You’d researched this whole house-hunting thing thoroughly — read everything you could on the few web forums that hadn’t collapsed under mismanagement, asked what adult relatives you had that had actually bought property before how this was supposed to go. You had come here with a list in the back of your head, feeling on your guard and prepared for every eventually… except this one. “I was under the impression,” you demurred, choosing your words. “That a showing at a property this old would be a little less self-guided.”

“Oh, well,” Bev demurred back, waving her free hand. “It only looks that big from the outside, I promise. Once you’re in there it’s really quite cozy.” She laughed, a light little giggle that sounded like nothing. “I’d just get in your way, honestly. You’re really gonna want to see it for yourself.”

You looked over your shoulder at the foyer behind you, trying to seem nonchalant as you surveyed how the sunlight didn’t seem to reach all the way in. “Hasn’t this place been abandoned for, like… twenty years?”

“Oh, honey, not that long!” Bev faux-laughed again. “It’s been uninhabited for nineteen, true, but we had crews in to take care of cleaning and upkeep when the listing passed into our hands. It’s not fallin’ - ing apart or anything. You’ll be just fine, I promise. In fact — here.” She opened her binder, rustling through a stack of papers that she seemed to be carefully angling away from your view before she snapped it shut again, holding out a scan of the house blueprints. “See, everything’s right there in black and white!”

You stared at the page in your hands, feeling disoriented for a moment as you tried to make sense of the smeary printer ink lines in front of you. Once you got your bearings, however, one thing was clear. “…This is the wrong house,” you said at last.

Bev blinked, her smile not moving an inch. “Beg your pardon?”

“These are for a house with a basement.” You looked back up at her, holding the page half-heartedly back out so she could correct herself. This was not… going like you’d hoped. If she couldn’t be expected to show up with the right information — this didn’t bode well for your working relationship.

“This house does have a basement,” she said, nodding while her expression still never budged. You were beginning to wonder if it was practice or preventative botox.

The page drooped in your hand as you stared at her. “This house has a basement,” you repeated slowly. “In Louisiana? This close to the bayou?” Your eyes flicked over her shoulder to your car parked in the drive, wondering if you should just leave right now.

“I know!” She giggled, like it was just a kooky fun fact between pals. “It’s the damn- darnedest thing, isn’t it? But it was a functioning funeral home for - oh, it must’ve been decades, before the family… left. Longer than a lot of us can remember. We had professors from the local junior college in to look at it and everything — none of them could explain it, but they said it was sound as a rock! I told you,” she nodded like a bobblehead. “You really need to see it for yourself.” She gestured back to the scan again, hopeful. She couldn’t disguise the nervousness in the set of her teeth, and it gave you pause…

But still. When were you going to find another chance like this? In your price range (barely), and in this market? At your age?

“…Okay.” You turned slowly, plans in your hand, back to the waiting maw of the door. “I guess I’ll give it a look, then.”

“I’ll just be right here,” Bev repeated, the relief in her voice tangible. “You take all the time you need. Ask me anything when you get out. We’ll make it work!”

“…Sure,” you said without hearing yourself. It took you a long moment - for what, you weren’t sure - but continued your journey into the shadowy guts of the house.

Though you couldn’t see it, Bev, with the smile finally gone from her face, had the decency to watch your retreating form as the front door slowly swung shut behind you — without a touch from either of your hands.

Her eyes, as much as she didn’t want them to, swung upwards to the second story window.

For a minute, she was a freshman in college again, listening to the whispers of what had come to haunt this place. What had happened to everyone inside.

…When a shape seemed to move away from the yellowing linen curtains, just visible through the moth-eaten fabric, she jammed her hand into her purse, desperately digging for her cigarettes.

In the yard, the cicadas’ insistent whirring climaxed to a low roar: an echo of a long-dead gathered crowd, cheering as the House selected anew.

(with love as always to @fairyysoup and the sluts, who joked about this and then I took it seriously :’D)

[neruomancer]

Paranormal/Unnatural agencies ranked in how toxic there work environments are

Delta Green (Delta Green) 4/10

There is a reason it is called a 9mm retirement, it is very low on the scale but not the worst. Most Agents in Delta Green commit horrible crimes against humanity themselves to complete there missions, so they aren't worst then the average cop. They usually do not get the choice if they are recruited or if they retire, most either die horribly or wish they did. You are not paid for your time and in fact have to use days of from your own job to perform tasks mandated by your handler. You also have to potentially get yourself in trouble at your job such as abusing work funds and resources to perform your duties, if you refuse they can and will frame your for crimes you did not commit(as opposed to the ones you did do) or just kill you and deliver a triangle shaped flag to your grieving and confused loved ones. You sometimes get to blow shit up or use fun tactic cool gear against shambling horrors from beyond the stars and neonazi canon fodder.

FBC Federal Bureau of Control (Control) 6/10

It is a government job so you do get federal holidays off, benefits and you can accrue time off during the Oldest House Lock Downs. Downside is you will either be chained to a desk in a windowless brutalist nightmare office under a dick head supervisor who is mad that they aren't in the old boys club and so they take there frustrations out on you, or you will be taking endless road trips to no name towns mostly for false alarms or to die horribly. No smart phones so you can't scroll during your lunch breaks in the Oldest House, there is a lot of paperwork (like warehouse amounts of paperwork) and a lot of running around a non euclidean Kafkaesque nightmare. No smoking but you see other agents smoke all the time, but the moment you do it you get caught and it is bullshit.

SCP Foundation (SCP Foundation) 5/10

Unless you are on the O5 council or you are a superstar researcher, no one cares about you and you are mostly like going to die in a containment breach and this is speaking as an actual employee of the Foundation not a D-Class. Everything is covered in black marker so good luck trying to get access to [REDACTED] files, you will either go crazy as a researcher or you will get turned into hamburger as a MTF your choice. I would say the saving grace for working at the Foundation is they are well resourced, I don't think you will have huge problems with money or company facilities. If you ever see something beyond comprehension you can simply submit to use amnestics to cope, it is probably for the best.

Ordo Veritatis (Esoterrorist) 8/10

Honestly you won't find a better secret society of paranormal investigators, since you are going to be dealing with horrors from the void you are going to need proper mental health coverage so the OV will cover the cost of professionals in there group that specialize in treating person's affected by occult horrors. Field agents, monitor station analyst and researchers are rotated for mental health reasons and to not weaken the membrane between conventional reality and a supernatural void in which spawns monstrosities. You do need to schedule time off work to perform duties assigned to you but what can you do, you need to uphold the masquerade of reality. A big downside is that you are dealing with creatures that wear human skin masks and cultists that are trying to invite them into reality via rituals, so death is ever present.

Q Division or The Laundry (Laundry Files) 1/10

Ah fuck where to begin, you do not have the choice to be recruited the government slaps paperwork on you and then binds you with a magical ward that swears loyalty to the agency (as is standard practice in most occult intelligence agencies in this universe). It is a government job, but it is more like a desk clerk then anything else so benefits are are shit, vacation or pto is non existent. Your supervisor is involving you in petty office politics and that actively gets in the way of your job (which is stopping eldritch abominations from using peoples brains as server towers). Your boss is either an eldritch abomination themselves or where once a person like you who had transformed from there most recent promotion into a gelatinous mass. Even if you die, because in your living life you held secrets related to your work a sorcerer from a rival agency can resurrect your ghost to interrogate you, so to prevent that the agency you work for binds your body into a zombie to work forever as a file clerk of somekind.

[real-life-senshi]

i'd be super interested in a past life for EoT! (also i think it's impossible to try to write something for SilverMilliennium era stuff without trying to worldbuild your own lore lol)

Thanks for dropping by and letting me know you're interested! I'm glad, coz I have started working on different scenes. Starting writing gets me even more serious with the world-building. lol

Here's where I am at with the Mercury Kingdom:

Mercury - Agua Machyna (temp name)

Aka Aquadom

Most technologically advanced among the kingdoms

Governance and culturally prioritized efficiency; scholarly and technology-focused.

Runs on diarchy, the two highest rulers are titled "Sage", gender doesn't matter.

Sages are selected intentionally seeking the balance between one being elected based on their scholarly passion and knowledge, and the other ruler based on strategical and logistical prowess. Intelligence and communication skills (+ charisma) are two minimum requirements to be elected as Sages.

Culture and vibes: Very scholarly and academia-focused. Not necessarily about looking for the next new thing, but more in the sense of always wanting to find the right answer to things. Disputes and conflicts are settled by... debates and evidence. Rarely violence. Tents and explorations vs towers and building of research and tech labs, libraries, and clinical facilities. Explorers vs historians & scholars vs crazy scientists or inventors, and advanced medical knowledge.

Many underground habitats and full cities were built because of Mercury's temperature given its close distance to Sol (Sun).

Multi-factors on the planet, based on profession/skill. (like no one would bat an eye when they hear an explosion in the Inventor's Corner [City]. But that would scare the crap out of all scholars in their book towers in the Scholar's Cave [City].)

Clothes: Kinda plain, not decorative or extravagant, a mix of futuristic vibes with retro-ancient vibes. Usually just a maximum of 2 colours in any outfit. Focuses on functionality, max 2 layers. The top layer changes depending on climate/temperature. Big hoods! Round-hoods for explorers and archeologists (outdoor exhibitions), pointy-hoods for scholars (library and academy go-ers), and no-hoods for lab workers and doctors, coz they need to wear all sorts of protective or assisting headgear anyway.

Affinity/Superpower: Water. Mercurians have varying degrees of attunement and adaptability to extreme temperatures due to their affinity to water to self-regulate temperate against cold or heat.

Motifs: water, round shapes or raindrop shapes, curved lines (river/water flow imagery), brightness, clean almost sterile.

Lifestyle: chaotic but healthy? There are a bunch of health and safety regulations and also daily reminders to make sure their people are eating and working enough instead of everyone becoming either hunchbacks from reading or blind from overusing their eyes for weeks on end. It's a 24/7 lifestyle though, people just choose when they want a break, when they wanna sleep when they wanna eat and make sure the appropriate personnel/machine/resources are always available when they need it. People are oddly absent-minded when they are not thinking about things that are their area of expertise, that's why they have technological helpers for daily stuff.

Upbringing: talent- and asset-focused; they let children naturally observe and choose what they gravitate towards or show skill in and follow the path of professional schooling and apprenticeship from a very young age. Would be shitty for folks who want to do something just purely as a hobby, or decide later in life they want to change course, but not impossible.

Sweetapple (Part 3 - bit 3)

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 - Bit 1, Bit 2, Bit 3

Still @flyboytracy ‘s fault 😁💚

Finally we get to the end of Part 3. I suspect there will be a Part 4 and that’s it, but trust me, Alex would be quite happy if I kept writing more of him. He wants stuff to happen! ::eyes him:: This fic first, finished is the key. Plus, I’m sick, so muse has to be treated nice or it will plead sick too and then nothing will get done.

Again many thanks to @onereyofstarlight​ for reading and her amazing support :D

This bit also has some exposition, but the next bit should have more Tracy in it :D Thank you all of you who have been patient with me. Writing would be so much easier if I didn’t have to go to work, drat it. ::hugs you all::

I hope you are enjoying this fic.

-o-o-o-

The news did put a damper on the Māhia achievement and Alex fully expected for there to be a delay. But no, the efficient machine that was Tracy Industries only took a moment to recover before steaming ahead with even more determination, and a few weeks later Alex found himself landing by hovercopter, no less, at the research facility.

Avengers Lab was a legit comparison. As they flew over the main building the Tracy Industries logo glared up at the sky from the roof. People could be seen buzzing around the complex like bees. Some wore protective clothing, some wore jeans, many were riding what looked like hoverscooters about the grounds.

Off in the distance, something went bang and a curl of smoke wound its way up between two hills.

No one in the complex seemed to pay any attention.

Beside him Erica was dancing in her seat, providing a running commentary on everything she saw. He had serious concerns she was going to blow a blood vessel through sheer excitement if she wasn’t careful.

As for himself, he was overwhelmed. The possibilities of his future and how last Christmas he hadn’t been able to make rent much less celebrate and yet now he was in the fabled land of everything. Part of him was terrified it was all going to pop like a soap bubble and disappear like a dream.

But it didn’t. They landed and were welcomed by Tia Thompson herself - a tall woman with a big mop of frizzy hair and a smile full of perfect teeth. She was professional and kind and handed them over to Fireman Fred.

Fred claimed to be the foreman of the site, but as far as Alex could understand, it sounded more like the man was the shepherd and the rest of them, including the director were the sheep.

He was formidable and Alex honestly did feel like a sheep, a very small sheep despite his own considerable height. Fred was at least a half-foot taller than him, several widths wider and the bulges in his t-shirt were all muscle.

Older, definitely grizzled and with an accent from Edinburgh itself - where IR had apparently pulled him out from under a building.

Some time later, Erica dug up the story that the man had followed International Rescue home and had badgered the staff at Tracy Industries until Jeff Tracy dropped by and gave him a job.

He had been the shepherd ever since.

Yes, Alex definitely felt like a sheep.

But this sheep had some living quarters on Māhia Peninsula and finally had a chance to realise his ideas.

The concept had originally come to Alex while reading about Jeff Tracy’s landing on Mars. The Cornerstone lander had made its approach in the middle of one of the planet’s notorious dust storms. Several of the craft’s sensors had been compromised causing an error in the calculations for touchdown, which in turn had made for a rough landing. The fuel tanks had been damaged and if it hadn’t been for some quick repairs by Lee Taylor, their fuel could have bubbled away.

The team had had access to the necessary sealants, but it had required up and close work. At the time, the two astronauts had been able to reach the leak site, but there was always the chance they couldn’t, and time was always a factor.

It was a safety gap that Alex couldn’t find any currently manufactured substance or device that could have improved the astronauts’ chances.

It was mainly a concern regarding delivery. Finding a way to get a sealant out there fast that could work in all kinds of pressure or lack of it.

He designed a compound that produced a deployable skin, laced with nano-polymer strands that should give it amazing strength and flexibility. Delivery could be by propellant or drone. He hoped to see it able to contain hull breaches in the depths of space or in the deep sea.

But first they had to make it work.

And work they did. Weeks passed in that lab. Many glorious weeks filled with ingenuity and experimentation.

Erica was the saner of the two, often dragging him out of the lab repeatedly at the wrong end of morning. He sometimes fought her, possibly in his own delirium, but he had to admit she was right.

So coffee was obtained.

He did, for one small moment, hope that this heavenly place was the source of that manna he had found in Scott Tracy’s reception area. But while the site’s coffee was top notch, it just really wasn’t up to that decadent level.

But at the moment he had enough coffee to sustain his consciousness and enough to focus.

He was very, very focussed.

For days on end.

So that was perhaps why he didn’t clue into the fact there was a Thunderbird parked on the landing field that morning. Perhaps it was the snag they were having with temperature balance between the siliwrap capsule and the projectile launcher and the fact he had been working through that when Erica yanked him out of the lab at 2am and consequently was still ‘working’ on it five hours later when he must have walked past the hulking green cargo plane and not noticed it in the slightest.

Erica called it his ‘Big Think’ mode.

Erica shouldn’t be allowed to name anything.

But in any case, he didn’t notice the Thunderbird.

He did, however, notice the hoverchair in his lab with some blond-haired twit poking around in his notebook.

“Hey, don’t touch that!”

The man looked up at him, expression sheepish. “Sorry, couldn’t help myself.”

But Alex was staring as realisation slowly dropped bricks on his head and stomach.

The man had one arm in a sling and one leg in a cast. He was also, undeniably Mr Gordon Tracy.

Prolouge for a little something something im working on....

CW: this story is set in a really shit mental hospital, and i want to state that most mental hospitals are NOT like this at all. While some can be bad, most are there to help, and none are even NEARLY as bad as the one described here!

Also, im using mentally unwell characters, and while i myself am mental unwell, most have disorders i myself do not have - so inaccuracy's may be present - i did a bunch of research, but obviously i havent lived with them

okay, with that out of the way, tell me what you think :)

The air inside Moonlit Halls Mental Hospital hung heavy with despair. Fluorescent lights infrequently flicker, casting eerie shadows on the cracked linoleum floor.

The once sterile white walls had turned a sickly shade of yellow, stained by years of neglect and the suffering that permeated every corner. The pungent scent of antiseptic did nothing to hide the overall lingering stench of decay, scaring anyone it held within its grip.

The corridors echoed with both whispers and screams of tormented souls, inescapable, much like the building itself. Scratches littered the surface of forlorn cells - futile and desperate attempts of those trapped within to leave their mark on a world that had forsaken them.

In purgatory, time has no meaning. Day melds into the night, as the line between reality and delusion blurred. Tortured cries of the patients were almost in tune with the haunting echoes of their own minds; a composed maelstrom of madness.

The few patients who had families left had long since given up hope of seeing them again. You cannot

It was a horrible place, and it was run by even worse people.

The staff members had long lost their compassion and empathy a long time ago, leaving only cold callously and cruelty behind. Their eyes, once filled with hope and a desire to heal, now held a threatening gleam. Their smiles, twisted and devoid of warmth, were the only outward sign of the animosity that sat behind their masks of professionalism.

And the few patients who had families who cared for them left had long since given up hope of seeing them again, their queries met indifference or threats if they dare voice concerns or question the facility's practices.

After all, the doctor knows best for you.

You can forget about getting the right medication, as the staff are much more interested in maintaining control than in providing genuine care. The cycle of medication only ever worsens their state when they end up overmedicated one moment, and under-medicated the next.

Their fragile minds that once sought solace shattered by the very people who had promised to help.

Well, Killer had always hated promises anyway.

With the health sector open for investment, PCD Pharma Franchise in Tripura, for business houses or entrepreneurs, opens much-touted and sustainable sources of income. Medmaster, the pharmaceutical industry leader, is now distributing PCD Pharma franchises across Tripura, so local entrepreneurs also can be part of this rising industry.

Why invest in Tripura for PCD Pharma Franchise?

The state of Tripura is one of the north-eastern states of India. There are many prospects for pharma companies in this state concerning population growth, increased health-related awareness, and demand for quality health products. Since a large portion of the population is rural-based, access to any kind of health product is mainly restricted. A PCD Pharma Franchise in the state can get access to them with good quality medicines at very feasible prices.

Increased Health Needs

The health infrastructure in Tripura has been steadily on the rise, but there is a lot of ground to be covered when it comes to reaching the entire population, especially for those in rural and other far-flung areas. Along with an increase in health awareness, there is more of a demand for essential medicines, over-the-counter drugs, and specialized treatments. This holds great scope for Medmaster and its franchise partners to service the swelling needs of the people.

A PCD Pharma Franchise in Tripura can meet the gap of quality drugs in underprivileged areas.

Maximising Space Efficiency in Your Commercial Remodel

In today's progressive market that demands efficiency, workplaces must feel accessible and reliable to get your business running smoothly. Whether a brand-new venture or a commercial remodelling project, maximizing space efficiency can grant a competitive edge. A solid plan is crucial in accomplishing a functional and well-organised workspace, as this improves the effective utilisation of workspaces by leaving a narrow margin of wasted space.

It can be a daunting task to manage every vertical of an elaborate project. A General Contractor is responsible for managing every aspect of the construction project, ensuring quality practices. They can guide the project by suggesting choices that significantly improve the quality of the output for the client. 

The Importance of Space Efficiency

Clients that require workspace utilisation to drive operations have an increasing need to manage their spaces and modify them to be more efficient and welcoming. According to WeWork, Corporate office spaces have doubled in size per square ft. since the 2000s in the US. Workplaces that require employees to stay in for long durations of time need to adopt methods to make it more engaging and accommodating. Research suggests that companies that have fostered inclusivity and efficient integration of space in the office have achieved an increased rate of growth and have driven better results. 

The Role Of General Contractors

A typical commercial construction project requires a lot of conceptualisation and assessment of various elements like - site assessment, budget management, sourcing of materials, etc. General contractors in Houston have long been effective in ensuring superior quality results in projects ranging from home contracting to commercial construction. They simplify the process by integrating the designing phase with the execution of the construction. Contractors optimise the budget by aiding in sourcing the best-suited materials and hiring skilled professionals who perfectly fit the job. They ensure smooth processes by creating streamlined workflows, managing cash flow, dealing with logistics and other duties to ensure clear agreements between all the parties involved. This ensures reliability, avoids misunderstandings and greatly reduces risk factors. 

Current Trends in Commercial Construction 

Companies that require effective workspace utilisation, often need to integrate multiple facilities into their buildings and offices. A major chunk of workspaces can still be left unused due to the construction design lacking flexibility.

The current market trends have seen significant change in the past few years. Commercial spaces are becoming increasingly optimised to foster interaction and well-being of the staff. Contractors assist in the process by incorporating industry best practices and updated technology. They integrate facilities that make the work environment much smoother and efficient. This helps the company by fostering better employee relationships and hence increasing productivity.

Conclusion

The need to have a well-organised and efficient workspace has now been more than ever. With markets demanding companies to be efficient and productive, optimising the employee workspace is crucial to getting the best results out of the resources. The entire process of planning the design and its execution can be very challenging. Real estate contractors aid in construction projects by incorporating their knowledge and expertise in resource management. They ensure the best outcome by carefully managing every vertical of the construction process, thus delivering the desired results.
