do you have a favorite book/book series?
YES‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
A good girl's guide to murder trilogy by Holly Jackson is my all-time favorite forever 🫶
It's a mystery, thriller series where good girl pippa fitz-amobi tries (and does!!!) to solve a murder for a class project. She's the only one that thinks that sal singh didn't kill his girlfriend, other than his younger brother ravi singh, and so they pair up and try to clear sal's name!!!
She recently dropped a stand alone back in April so if you're not feeling like reading three books hehe.
Basically main character bel's mom disappeared when she was really little and the town has been obsessed with her disappearance so obsessed her family agreed to a documentary. Only for her mom to reappear during filming??? Bel is Hella suspicious so with the help of a camera man ash, they're going to prove that bel's mom isn't who she says she is. DUN DUN DUHHHHHHH!!! Highly recommend if you like thriller and suspense books!!
There's also gonna be a AGGGTM TV show and it's gonna be on Netflix I'm so fucking proud

Hey Rukia ~ ♡ Since sometimes I love asking random questions: Why is Hercules your all time favorite charakter from record of ragnarok and and what was it that made you love him so much?
Also, I wish you a lovely thursday beloved. 🌷
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh boy, this is going to take a while. 🤣
Why is he my all time favorite?:
To make a long story short he’s everything I like in a character, he’s the embodiment of good, and he WORKS hard for his goals. Like when he was younger he made himself stronger with hard work and determination and I love that in a character instead of being “gifted” with special abilities like some other characters. The more I read the more I could relate:
I’m a hard worker.
I like seeing good guys prevail
I have a big heart
Now I don’t have a temper like he does but that just makes me like him more.
He’s handsome I’m pretty
Tumblr media
Lord we’ll be here for days.
Like some people don’t like Hercules because of the whole heroic/justice/good natured personality but I like that. I don’t need a grey character in every fandom.
Also his speech is beautiful which is really beautiful like he knows we humans ain’t shit and he likes us anyways 🤍🥹 like ughh
Plus he big
I like his design too. The whole going into combat with only this-
Tumblr media
are you crazy?!
Tumblr media
What made me love him so much:
He’s just warrior with a big heart even if he didn’t like Jack the Ripper at first he did at the end and that just 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
I love the I still humanity speech, sticking up to bullies, his muscles 💪, his stamina, also! I noticed the author likes to give hints about the character traits by who cheers for them in the crowd and the fact the little babies like him! That’s enough alone for me to love him:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(The Hercules doll take me out. Because I don’t know if the little child made it or there is a toy shop in Valhalla)
Plus! He also makes funny faces 🥹🥹

im so sorry for the late reply, my dear… in all honesty, there was so much writing i got overwhelmed… BUT i am now here and ready to write for you!!
i also absolutely love talking about musicals, and theatre in general. i could talk about epic for .. a long time. since you haven’t seen it i won’t spoil anything in the story, but the writer is so incredibly smart. ever character has a instrument dedicated to them, and its so interesting to hear the background music, and HEAR what its telling you! there’s certain motifs that tell you different things throughout the story, and humans always have less electric instruments, while gods have electric instruments!! the way he sets everything up is so wonderful.. and the lyrics!! my god the lyrics .. they tell a story unlike any show ive ever seen. the way he alludes to certain things with his lyrics, brings back lyrics that were sang earlier in the show, the way he sets everything up to tell a perfect story, to give you the exact feelings he wants you to feel.. i could yap so much more.
omg, that’s so nice of you to make jewelry for other people!! im not surprised, you are kind beyond expectation <3 im sure the jewelry you make is absolutely beautiful. ughh im pretty good at math .. but that doesn’t mean i like it.
im so glad you’ve had people to help you through it, and that you’re working through all that!! that warms my heart. :) of course i care to talk to you!! i quite enjoy talking to you , excuse me .. hmf >:( /silly
i always think of buying things as “giving them a home”… especially my stuffies. i have many. they are very happy with me (i hope)
we actually dress pretty similar!! that’s so cool hehe:) i also would consider myself hyperfem and maximalist!! also, what?!? i didnt know you were in love letter!!! .. i may or may not be on there too ..
OMG your doggie sounds absolutely adorable omgggg!!! ughh i can’t give myself away now that i know you are in love letter .. i will just say i have a few dogs ..
also don’t worry, yap as much as you’d like!! i love to listen <33333 i truly adore it!! now .. i have a few questions !!
i do NOT mean this in an ignorant way .. i apologize if it comes off that way .. :,) your beloved and your darling, are you all .. together? or is it platonic…??? if you are all together … are you looking for a fourth?
AHHH im so sorry if that question comes off rude at ALL im sorry im sorry im sorry forgive me forgive me 🧎
NERVOUSLY SIGNING OFF … 🎭
I'm sorry if I overwhelmed you with my yapping, dearie!! I'll make sure to keep this one a tad more concise :) It sounds like there was a lot of dedication in Epic! I've read the original myth, so you can always spoil it if you'd like :) I love when artists use motifs and symbols and draw things from previous works, it makes a much more cohesive piece and allows for everything to flow together so nicely! The continuity is awesome! I actually run a little jewelry business, so I make stuff to sell to people when I have free time (I haven't had a lot of time this summer or this fall, so it's been a little dead, but I'm hoping to make some stuff eventually!). I like making inspired pieces though, so it is usually gifts :) I made my school friend group a nice set of key chains / necklaces for last Christmas, actually! They were all color coded :D I appreciate you saying that you like talking to me, Cheshire; it means a lot :) I also have a lot of stuffed animals, so I get the whole thing about giving them a home. I have a few really special ones that I've done that for especially :) Also, yes! I've been in love letter for almost a year now, I think. I'm not so active right now, but I used to write lots of fantasies. I now usually use it for reading (I like to observe conversations and such) and for gushing or sending letters to my beloved and darling, who are both in the server. I'll keep an eye out for you now that I know! (But I won't look too hard, in case you'd like to remain anonymous!) it's cool that we both have dogs!! And our fashion styles are similar :0 I have to actually figure out an outfit for this thing I'm going to tomorrow... so I have to go through my closet a bit, haha. As for your question about my loves: I'm not together with any of them, but there's a level of devotion akin to that with my darling and they are my main priority (and i have full intention of continuing my bond with my beloved forever, though it's not inherently romantic and there isn't commitment in that sense) that would be something to consider. I'm not inherently against gaining another darling and the only other person I'm 'pursuing' would be Venus (Hi when you see this, little cloud! I miss you!!), but I'm not sure I could guarantee anything because I'm aromantic (cupio for specifics) and take a while to really consider people one of my darlings or one of my favorites. I have a bit of an issue with getting really close to people, mainly because I'm afraid of being judged or too vulnerable, so it would definitely be a long time. If you're interested in getting to know me otherwise, that is also okay :) I really only end up with those who I finally feel really care about me and who give me a certain amount of security in their life, but I am still quite affectionate with my other friends too! It was not rude at all, I don't mind clarifying things for you at all so long as it helps you :) I hope that answers your question!

Mr. Here To Stay
Warning: may contain adult languages. Please be advise. Minors do not proceed.
PART 3
You march to the accounting department with your do-not-talk-to-me aura. As soon as the biometric turns color green, you go straight to the meeting room and reserving it for the whole day. You put down your shoulder bag on the table but it fell off, "ughh-" you didn't even bother to pick up those because you're in a hurry.
You proceed to your desk and call the IT department and request a laptop and the reason you told was because you cannot bring your desktop to the meeting room for the whole day. You wait for the IT to deliver the laptop so you sit with the others.
N1 eating the usual breakfast, "What's up with the long face?"
You lean back to your ergo chair and sigh deeply, "These reimbursements!" You loudly tap the pile of papers beside you, "I sampled one yesterday and guess what, I've seen numerous errors on the form. Now, I have to correct it with red ink and in addition to that, I have to prepare a journal entry for each of..." you purse you lips as you try not cuss, "--transaction!"
N4 glances, "that's a lot...why don't you do it next week?"
You shake your head no immediately, "I can't, have you forgotten what's next week?" Horrified marks on their faces. Their energy died down as they remember what's coming, "exactly, auditors doing their quarterly audit plus internal report," you close your eyes, "I thought I'm having no-work-on-Fridays-so that-you-can-enjoy-waiting-for-the-night-out-later. "
You heard a knock on your desk. You open your eyes and the IT is standing there holding the laptop you requested. You politely receive the company's asset and signs a paper, "thanks," the IT quickly leave the department, "okay, I'll see you later," before entering your prison, you grab a pile of journal entry form and a bunch of red pen at the supplies cabinet then headed to your detention cell.
Hours passed and you feel like the pile of paper hasn't going down. You stretch and drink water, pausing and looking at the minimalist painting on the wall. Taking a few deep breaths and continues to work.
------
Third party POV
Marco, having full of energy for unknown reason, he walks in the accounting department with his radiant smile, bringing again the last batch of reimbursements. Well, actually, it's only his disbursement for yesterday's afternoon small talk for the hospital's affiliated medical school. He make his way to Y/N station, only to find that Y/N's not there. Disappointed, his smile turns into frown however, Y/N's coworkers feel his presence without even saying 'hi' or 'good morning'.
They give him a welcoming smile and he waves 'hi'. Marco is about to open his mouth to pose the question but N3 answers right away, "Y/N's there," pointing N3's pen to the meeting room. Marco was about to walk to the room when N4 raises hand, stopping him.
N4 before sipping the beloved coffee warn the handsome doctor, "warning, Dr. Marco, you may not want to talk to Y/N right now or next week..."
N2 butts in, "or the next, next week either..." N2 sighed as N2 goes his sight from paper to screen, vice versa.
Marco with confusion on his face and scratches his head, "Then, next month, I guess?"
All of them shake their head no, N3 answers, "Y/N will be angry. The reimbursement is only valid for 7 days after the expense occurs," N3 focus on the monitor as N3 replies.
Marco leaning to Y/N's cubicle, "So what options do I have?"
N1 having the strength to answer, "Dr. Marco, just choose between these three options for Y/N's anger," Showing off her polished nails to the doctor, "A. Rude, Sarcastic and a Bitch,"
N2, "B. Feral"
N4 ending the multiple choice, "Or C. Violence,"
After the options lay down, all of them look at the doctor, waiting for his response. Marco's silent for a while, hands on his pocket. N1 blushes more as the pose is striking and making him more attractive. Grabbing N1's phone, take a photo of him, secretly.
After thinking it through, he finally reach his decision that could alter the accounting department's universe or rather Y/N's, he fixes his red eyeglass and curls his lips, " Or D. All of the above," hot on his heels, he walks toward to the meeting room.
Y/N's coworkers stare at the doctor as he marches forward to his death. They look at each other with is-he-serious? stare. N4 commenting, " And a challenger enters into the lion's den," None of them has the intention to go back to work as they are curious what would happen to the doctor's resolution...or they are worried what would happen to the doctor.
----------
You POV
You roll your eyes the moment you heard the glass door opens, "Haven't I told you be---" you stop as you see Dr. Marco enters the meeting room with his gleaming smile. You lean at your ergo chair and cross your arms, giving him your resting bitch face, "I take it, haven't they warned you?"
Marco confidently walk towards you, "They did," stopping in front of you. Resting and pressing his toned, perfect muscle cuts on both arms on the table. Undeniably, you gulp as you watch his shoulders tense under his white coat along with his stethoscope. He teasingly smile at you, leaning forward, "Just yesterday, you were thoughtful and sweet and now," his grins wider, "I just wanna see how much rude, sarcastic, bitch, feral and violent can you be..." he said in a challenging, low voice with a hint of seductiveness.
You didn't back off, especially your in the state of I don't give a fuck attitude. You put down the red pen and slowly stand up. You copy the doctor's stance and make sure he receives your message loudly and clearly by meeting his gaze with seriousness, "Then so be it..." Both of you stare each other.
You and your blazing eyes vs Marco and his calm ocean blue eyes.
The tension that you both created fills the room. You did not break the stare this time even though his eyes is dominating you, making your knees weak then you remembered the pile of papers you have to finish. You have no plans on backing down too even though your heart's been thumping hard.
After a minute, the doctor chuckles, "Okay, okay, I surrender," he stand properly and crosses his arms over his broad chest, "I'm just testing you,"
You gaze him, "I'm not in a mood for play time," you said in a tired, flat voice. Your eye catches the papers he holds. Your stressed increases but you realizes you don't have a choice either, "hands me those paper and get the hell out!"
Marco, being playful and it seems doesn't bother by your rudeness, tucks away the paper behind him, "This is not reimbursement, these are...patient's record,"
"Then what are you doing here?!"
"Roaming around..."
"Go home, you have a flexible schedule. Don't waste anyone's time..." you seat down and continues to check the amount and supporting receipts. Marking them red meaning your done.
"I don't wanna go home..."
You put down the red pen, "That's not my problem," you give him a lazy look, "for the last time, Dr. Marco, get out."
Marco's eyes soften and sparkles as he hears his name coming out from your lovely mouth causing also a smile on his thick lips, "Okay, okay." He let out a small laugh, "Bye, Y/N, it's nice seeing you today," he exit the meeting room with a wide smile.
Your brain is too stun to process, "What's wrong with him?" your eyebrows furrow and shake your head.
As the pile of paper goes down to the last, your stomach shout for food. You look up at the clock and it's 2 in the afternoon. You sigh and reward yourself a little treat. You pick up your bag from the floor when someone enters your zone. You immediately turn around and see a stranger standing with a paper bag and a drink, "Y/N?"
Confuse still you nodded, "y-yeah, that's me,"
the stranger happily give the items, "enjoy your meal,"
"but I didn't--" and poof the person's gone. You look at the paper bag remembering when did the last time touch your phone to order food online. No, you didn't. You're sure of it because you can feel in your right hand the tiredness from writing. You sit down and open the paper bag and the aroma of the packed food makes your stomach growl. You didn't even think who give the food, maybe one of your pals in the department? You quickly glance to them who appears witnesses on the food. All of them shake their head no.
You had no time to wonder who it is as the hunger making you crazy. You sit down and with one bite, you close your eyes and feel relief. You nod as the food taste like coming from a five star restaurant. you couldn't stop taking a bite until the food stuck in your esophagus. You grab the drink and pop the straw. You aggressively chug. Your eyes blink as it taste lemonade, feeling refreshed. Then you notice on the drink, there's a small post-it note on the middle part. You pluck it and read,
Peace Offering...for making you piss off earlier. -Dr. Marco, the one who look like a pineapple You cough at the note and let out a small laugh as you read the pineapple thing. Moreover, it makes your heart happy. With that, the stressed you had earlier somehow lessen. You can't help but smile while eating and rereading the note. You never thought a doctor having a beautiful penmanship and a good sense of humor.
Before the long arm ticks off to 12. You stand up and go back to your station, calling again the IT to let them know your finish using the laptop. Then, you go back to the meeting room and start packing up. Alas, you're done with the reimbursements and the journal entries for that matter is posted in the system. You put down the pile of papers under your desk and give the summary to your Manager.
You come back and the IT was there already. You smile and thank the IT staff. You sit in your station and put out a mirror to reapply your favorite lip balm.
"So, who gave your lunch?" N2 probes.
You smack your lips and keep the mirror, "Dr. Marco...he pissed off me earlier so he gave me a peace offering,"
N1 starts to whine, "I want to experience that! Y/N, can we change our role?! Just you know for two weeks!"
You giggle, "Sorry, N1, I cannot or else, all of the employees will receive their salary/pay late," N1 pouts but you just laugh.
As soon as the clock tick at 5p.m., all of you stand up and walk out the door but on the halfway to the door, you stop, remembering something. You shout at them, "You guys go, I'll meet you at the entrance!" You quickly go back to your desk and grab the post-it note. Smiling, you keep it in your bag.
Silly.
For some reason, it makes your heart flutter.
----------

Fanfic Writing Questions
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
Looks like 17, incidentally my lucky number!
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
204,980 so far!
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Right now, Arknights. If Ex Astris gets any more content though I'll probably lunge for it again. I'm also always open to writing Vocaloid stuff even though I'm a little embarrassed looking back at some of my earlier works. I don't write for RWBY or Danganronpa anymore. I've been kinda hurt by people in those fandoms and I'm baby (or was baby) so it kinda killed my heart for it.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? 1. From Hell to the Moon - 953 kudos My gigantic Touko/Komaru fic from back when Ultra Despair Girls had me in an absolute chokehold. I still love them but I kinda fell off from updating because I got a lot of comments like 'ughh i'm so sad this will never get updated' and the pressure got to me. 2. Between the Li[n]es - 425 kudos Another one I left on a massive cliffhanger for Danganronpa V3, my Miu/Kokichi/K1-B0 fic. I appreciate the support it received so much. I do enjoy writing robot sex. I fell off of updating because I made a friend in the fandom that kinned Kokichi pretty hard and seemed to feel like he was a much 'softer boi' than the way I wrote him and implied that my Kokichi was OOC and even though I didn't really believe it...well, you become your actions, so, by kind of, tolerating their interpretation it kind of neutered my own. We haven't talked in years. Sometimes I think about writing a quickie update chapter but I'm too into my other writing. As one comment put it: "came to nut, stayed for the feels", so I felt pretty damn good about the naughty scenes in this one. One of the more vulgar things I've published.
3. Other Side - 288 kudos My first fic for the RWBY fandom! I wrote it right after the Weiss trailer came out and we knew nothing, so a lot of the story is nothing like how the characters act now. I look back on it pretty fondly because it got me out of a pretty bad writing rut, but it's kinda bittersweet because I've moved on from RWBY. Still a sucker for Ruby/Weiss and I was overjoyed when Ice Queendom came out and gave them some spotlight. 4. Amor fati - 188 kudos My beloved golden child chenmiya fic. It makes me so happy to see this one climbing high into the list even though it's the most recent. A lot of tender love and care went into writing this and reading this is the key to my heart. Nothing excites me more than comments on this or any of my other chenmiya fics. It's basically my love letter to the ship. 5. Secondhand Smoke - 177 kudos One of my early entries into the ~problematic yuri~ genre from when Cinder/Ruby from RWBY had me by the throat. I got a lot of much-appreciated appreciation for writing these two and I remember this being the year that a bunch of my artist friends drew me Cinder/Ruby for my birthday! I'd never had anything like that happen before and I felt so loved.
5. Do you respond to comments? Sometimes! If you leave a lengthy comment I try to at least pop in and cry about how much it means to me haha.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Sour Grapes, easily. But is anyone surprised?
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Definitely dodecatheon meadia. If ever I've written something I can consider to have a true fairytale ending, this is the one. This one really healed my heart too! I felt like I had a real fire under me while writing it and these girls have deeply affected me. I don't want to say too too much about it since some people are very likely still finishing the game. But it's also a new feeling to be the first fic in a tag!
8. Do you get hate on fics? Thankfully not really.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Yeah, I sure do, almost exclusively-but I tend to have myself in this hostage situation of, "please make a 50k-100k epic to perfectly justify the characters having sex" that I occasionally escape containment from. I've gotten a little better at just laying the foundations quickly and getting to what I like to write, but it can still be a struggle because I get a little perfectionist with it. Which is funny because to me the 'perfect' smut doesn't exist, and it's made 'perfect' through the imperfections. I think the little bumps and hiccups and misunderstandings along the way are a lot more compelling to me than having everything go without a hitch, but there's definitely exceptions and different circumstances! Like when that's a big part of the story-like a character really really in control for another character's safety. When I write robot sex or medfet there tends to be a bit more detail about the safety side of things because I like to take the reader through the experience of safety too. I never turn right to the camera and go 'and now the safe way to do it is x' but I rely on the characters to express their expertise to each other, and their reassurance, and for the trust of the other character to speak for itself. haha, i rambled.
this is why for the lin/chen/amiya bondage i'm working on writing that i have a notebook with several pages of questions that lin goes through before tying people up. things like 'if you start to cry, does that mean you need to stop, or is that just what you need?'
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
Not really, the only one I've kind of written was the Ex Astris/Arknights one in dodecatheon meadia, based lightly off the fact that the games did a collab and I wanted to acknowledge them with the outfits of those girls from another world that they didn't quite get to know.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Oh, just once. But it was SO long ago and the person was pretty young I think and they were ashamed and took it down right away, so live and let live.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Some kind folks translated Sour Grapes into Chinese! I asked them for a link to where it ended up but I don't think they totally understood what I was asking. I was flattered nonetheless.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? No, I haven't. I do a lot of rping though still, though less publicly than I used to. I think if I co-wrote anything and published it it would have to be with @lanymme because she's my most trusted peer! When we talk about writing things and whenever she gives me feedback, she is so kind and spirited about it in a way that pushes me to do my best. Her encouragement is truly so earnest and even though I can be a little protective of my writing she has a really nice way about her of discussing how to make it stronger without making me ever feel like I'm not 'enough' as an author. I can't overstate how much I value her companionship; as an editor and a good friend and just lovely person overall. And when she leaves huge comments on my fics spotting all the little painstaking details I put in and mentioning them-what better satisfaction can there be as a writer? I always intend to do the same back but I am always just so floored and wiped out by the quality of her writing that I atomize before I can form cohesive thoughts. It just makes it all the more impressive that she can put together a fucking. bibliography of the story's moments and her reactions. So lanymme I hope you know how much I adore your style. /)///(\
14. What's your all time favorite ship? Chenmiya. I sort of felt inklings of it all throughout the beginning of the story and then chapters 7 and 8 sealed my coffin shut. Amiya sort of represents, I think, the idealism that Ch'en had wanted to believe in growing up. The world was really cruel and Ch'en adapted in her own ways, but she...rejects Amiya a bit because I feel like in her heart she can't let herself get too attached. She knows-or thinks she knows-that Amiya will lose hope and she'll feel that heartbreak all over. But slowly, her optimism and continued efforts to just...keep going, in a world that is cold, a world that shows her cruelty-it reaches Ch'en. And even though Ch'en puts up her front at first, Amiya's ultra-high empathy helps her understand who Ch'en really is, and she has the maturity to not begrudge her for the way she's processed things up to the events of chapter 7 and 8. As she puts it, "I saw the color of her heart", when talking about how Ch'en interacted with the kids in the slums that didn't have anyone else. And then she launches a rescue for Ch'en, and ends up so linked up with her memories and emotions that she just like. Becomes the other half of her soul in that fight. Amiya arrives with her optimism and hopes on the sheer chance that Ch'en is still alive and still needs her help and goes up the tower alone to find her and she does even against all odds. She talks about how she wants to cry when she sees her. In Ch'en's hour of need, Amiya arrives carrying the hopes of what she wanted to be herself, and they fight a battle where they are alone, saving each other, promising each other that they can do it, and they come out alive.
There are so, so so many more details about them. Ch'en's wishes for Amiya to call her by first name in a closer way, the way that Amiya shyly, obstinately continues to add some form of honorific for her. The way Ch'en inherited her abusive father's rhetoric and echoed his lines to Amiya to try to get her to distance herself from her in the beginning, only to apologize at the top of the tower and tell her she wishes she'd met her earlier.
But the main thing I always think about, at the top of the tower, is where black-snake-controlled Talulah puts Amiya in a prison of fire specifically to goad Ch'en. She wraps her in flames and says "I wonder how her melting flesh will smell"/something akin to that and Ch'en loses her mind and yells as her to "don't touch her!" and says "I'm the one you want, let her go!" etc., you know, all the good shit. So my interpretation of the scene is this: since the black snake can't make Talulah do something she doesn't actually want to do, I've always felt that the feelings behind that scene were of Talulah wanting someone close to her to really, truly understand how it feels to lose someone you love, and she saw Amiya to Ch'en as being someone analogous to what Alina was to herself. I think even if you read Ch'en's feelings for Amiya as non-romantic, Amiya was still so so dearly important to her to make her react that way, and that the black snake being cruel enough to try to leverage their relationship to, ultimately, kill Ch'en, who was Talulah's last tether to not losing control of herself fully-was so outrageously heinous. Ch'en could have killed herself trying to get Amiya out, which would have been what the black snake wanted most of all, since it couldn't quite urge Talulah to kill Ch'en directly, and it would have done so by preying on both Talulah's love/sorrow for Alina and Ch'en's love for Amiya.
scrolling up and seeing the wall of text i wrote and. yeah. there's still so much more.
15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Between the Li[e]s. Danganronpa fandom just hurts too much.
16. What are your writing strengths? Aside from dialogue, I think my other big strength is that I'm not afraid to write what I want even if and especially if it's fucked up. I also feel like another strength of mine is that the characters will take over for me, and get me to write them truly as they are without letting me change them. Even if that results in me writing things I'm very embarrassed and shy about writing.
17. What are your writing weaknesses? I lack discipline. I need to get myself consistently writing more, but it's hard for me to make time to do it.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I don't tend to do more than a few phrases, and only then if it's a character's native language and I want them to call someone a cute nickname or something.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Princess Tutu. I was 13. it was the 4th of July. I was supposed to be in bed asleep. But I was using the string lights illumination to light up my journal and it was then for the very first time I felt the feeling of realizing that I could make anything happen that I wanted.
It was not very good at all! But I treasure the memories of having boundless energy to write with because I was just so excited to see something become real from something that had only till then been inside of me.
20. Favorite fic you've written?
dodecatheon meadia. maybe it's surprising because it's not one of my headliner chenmiya fics, but-it's a secret chenmiya fic if you squint!
and honestly even though the story of ex astris is a little patchy at times, by the end you feel just...gripped by the world building and by yan and vi in particular. so i remember writing for them, desperate to see the happiest ending i could make, weaving it in with the canon with as many of my favorite details as possible, and it felt so good. i wrote pretty much nonstop for a week straight and finished it. the feeling of just-DYING to write was burning under my skin after finishing the game and the satisfaction of finishing the fic was magical, even if it came with the usual...idk, 'fanfic post-partum' of sending your writing out into the world when it's all done.

Kazuichi for the ask game ;)
oh my goodness.........KAZ MY BELOVED. i've spent well over 2 hours non stop writing all of this out lol help me😭 i love him so much, he is my favourite character of everything ever, so thank you very much for asking about him!! i hope this is enjoyable to read, and to anyone who doesn't like him all that much, maybe reading this will change your mind! :) <3<3<3
favourite thing about them: so many things, he is so so so special to me!!!! he also partially reminds me of myself, and i am very attached to him :) i love his character design (and i love that it's explained yknow? it's not like oh yeah he has naturally pink hair for no reason), i love his voice and speech patterns, i love how clingy he is, how realistically scared he is compared to some other characters considering he took part in a literal killing game, how smart he is, how 'normal' his talent is (it's a realistic talent idea for a school like hopes peak, its a normal talent someone could develop after years of working in their family's shop, and its academic so the school would want him yknow? like no offense to e.g. mondo, i love him but why would they want a biker gang leader in a school like that lol😭) anyway i'm already rambling and im only on the first question oops lol. final favourite thing to mention is his tiny braid. soooo cute n silly. and i love his earrings. and how one sleeve of his jumpsuit is cuffed higher than the other. okay no i need to stop rambling now
least favourite thing about them: i don't like how he's so often dismissed as just a comedy character or a pervert or whatever. i wish he'd been written in a little more depth so he could be given a chance by fans who automatically dislike him. i love him so much and i want everyone to experience the joy of loving him!!! he is a sweetheart inside i promise
favourite line: engines revving!!!!! ✊😛✊ lol i also like i'll bury you and your hamsters 6 feet under!!!! and general gundham insults they all make me giggle
brotp: literally EVERYONE omg, i love his friendship potentials with the whole sdr2 cast! buuut some i particularly enjoy are ibuki, fuyuhiko, akane and mahiru :) kaz and ibuki would be so SILLY together i love them, i wrote a pekobuki fic with her and kaz being bffs and it was so much fun to write! she would love to put his hair into fun styles and paint his nails :) fuyuhiko aaa i love them together (also love them as a ship) i like the idea of fuyu being the voice of reason between them, telling kaz off when he needs to and keeping him grounded in reality! akane would sooo be like a sister to him i love her, they would get into lots of mischief together, have food fights, wrestle in mud etc lol. then mahiru aww also so like a sister to him, but akane is more like a twin and mahiru more like a big sister :) mahiru would help him look after himself, help him comb chewing gum out of his hair if hiyoko sticks it in there lol etc. also love him and nekomaru as friends too and ughh i could literally list every character here with a specific headcanon for their dynamic
otp: i'm gonna have to say soudam!! i absolutely adore them, they're so sweet and i think about them all the time :) they could be so good for each other if they settled their differences. one of my favourite dynamics is that gundham has feelings for him but kaz is just too silly to notice lol. i've published 9 fics on ao3 so far, 4 of which are soudam, including a 5-chapter fic (i normally just write oneshots, and the only other future multi chapter fics i have basic mental plots for are also soudam lol so you can tell i love them) they are just so special to me :) some other kaz ships i enjoy are him with fuyuhiko(!!), hajime, and i also quite like him with nekomaru too! :) and my fave non sdr2 ship for him is leon, their ship name is bubblegum rock, isn't that just the cutest name ever?!
notp: if there's gonna be a notp it's gonna have to be sounia, i love them both dearly as characters but just not together. my interpretation of his crush on her is that he is gay, and uses her as a fake crush to hide his sexuality to avoid getting bullied, and his reasoning is that she's a very conventially attractive blonde PRINCESS, nobody would question him for having a crush on her, right?? hence why he finds her hobbies weird etc and doesn't show an interest other than "wow she's so hot" lol. i don't think he realises at ALL how uncomfortable he makes sonia, he's just glad that she doesn't like him so he doesn't have to actually be in a relationship (my 5 chapter soudam fic started with this idea by the way!) and i like to think that if she sat down with him and properly explained why it's not right, he'd cave in and come out and apologise a lot and cry :( also think his treatment of her is partly just, he doesn't understand social cues and social norms very well (me too kaz me too) so he just is doing his best to appear normal :'(
random headcanon: when he listens to music, he sings and dances around his room with a hairbrush!!! but he would be VERY embarrassed if anyone found out :) i have lots of silly little headcanons like this for him that im probably going to post one day! i just think about him 24/7 so i have lots of things like this to say
unpopular opinion: i've seen quite a few people headcanon him as having adhd before, but i personally see him closer to being autistic! not sure really why, i just do! :)
a song that you associate with them: even though he's my favourite character ever i still found this super tricky to answer, song questions don't come easily to me i guess. but! my favourite artist right now is poppy, so "immature couture" by poppy! she has lots of different genres of songs but this one is SO girly and camp and i think kazuichi would love it and secretly listen to it a lot and dance around his room with his hairbrush microphone :'))) here's a link to the song!
favourite picture of them: SO TRICKY ummm my favourite sprite is the engines revving one lol with his tongue out but also love the beanie down over the eyes scared one. i love so many pictures but as a soudam shipper i suppose i will say this one bc ughhh they are just too cute!!:
Tumblr media
some honourable mentions are his chapter 2 diner picture looking out of the window, his pictures in the chapter 1 party, and all of those anime screenshots like there's one of everyone on the beach where he's being buried by sonia and chiaki, one where he's at the top of a christmas tree next to gundham a picnic one etc. i love them all (i haven't seen the anime so no idea where these bits come in but i haven't seen scenes surrounding them just singular pictures?)
this was so FUN!!! ihad plans to write fanfic tonight but im glad i spent my time doing this bc it was so much fun, thank you for submitting him :D there's one more character in my inbox but it's midnight for me rn so i will either do it later tonight after a break or in the morning, if anyone else would like to submit a character for me to talk about that would be awesome!!

Fic writer asks: 🍱🍥
Let's get real: 💞🎈
Sending you lots of good vibes and hope you're doing well ❤️
Thank you for the ask 💖💖💖
Fic writer asks
🍱 Do you read your own fics?
Sometimes.... Sometimes I reread because I want to make sure I get my own canon right 🙈 Sometimes I reread because I miss a particular story and want to enjoy it as a comfort read. Sometimes I reread for Throwback Thursday to make sure it's not terrible lol
I really would love to reread all my Thomas and Alex stories and try to string them together into one longer cohesive story to see how their relationship evolves over time. 💖💖💖
🍥 What's your favorite fic you've written?
Oo I have no idea! How do you pick just one? I have so many that are special to me in different ways. I really love the Love & Scotch series even if I have yet to finish it and haven't written it in a year or two??? ughh I also really love my Orphanage series because it has such a special place in my heart. And how could I leave out Bogart! That little black lab was supposed to just be a little fluff here and there and now he has his own series and pictagram lol. But there are so so many other one shots that I adore and couldn't even decide which to say was a favorite.
A long answer to say, I have no idea lol
Let's Get Real
💞what's the most important part of a story for you? the plot, the characters, the worldbuilding, the technical stuff (grammar etc), the figurative language
I guess the characters? I feel like my stories, especially in the past year or so are really just short little fluffy snippets of life. They don't really have in depths plots or big word building. It's really just the characters' interactions and descriptions of their feelings so I guess figurative language too.
🎈describe your style as a writer; is it fixed? does it change?
I'm definitely a fluff writer who focuses on small moment descriptions and connections between characters. I feel my writing is mostly fixed, but every now and then I will branch out to the occasional angst (particularly to tackle mental health issues) and smut for my beloved Dom!Levi and the sexist Mal Volari!
Thank you again for the ask! I hope I answered your questions 💖

hi!! can i request some carlisle fluff? i’m thinking maybe helping taking care of you after a long day? or just anything cute and fluffy lol
𝐒𝐩𝐚 𝐃𝐚𝐲 || 𝐜.𝐜
𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: carlisle cullen x human reader
(𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝)
𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭: this is a hc so it’s bound to be short :/
𝐚/𝐧: I CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW SORRY I AM TO YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS SENT IN A REQUEST. ITS BEEN FAR TOO LONG BUT IM SLOWLY TRYING TO RESPOND I HOPE YOU ALL FORGIVE ME <3
Tumblr media
It had been an extremely long week for you.
One of the types that is just centuries long and just absolutely horrific.
For five days straight, you endured each gruesome day, coming home to your family feeling nothing but drained.
Even though you tried to mask the physical and mental fatigue with the relief of being home at last, your beloved Carlisle could see nothing but the truth.
He slowly was able to pry the words out of you as he wanted nothing more than to help.
It of course started with you two peacefully laying in bed while Carlisle’s hand rhythmically ran up and down your side persuading you to sleep.
However one thing led to the next and suddenly you were breaking down into tears, sobbing into Carlisle’s side.
That’s when he knew he needed to do something special for his darling.
The next morning as you were deep in much needed sleep, Carlisle sent Rosalie out to pick up a few things for him.
She returned in a prompt manner with all the basic and not so basic spa essentials.
The man full of nothing but compassion has decided to make this lazy Saturday into a spa day for you.
Carlisle worked diligently in the main bathroom to set up each little so-called spa station.
Just in time, you sleepily padded to the bathroom, barely even aware that Carlisle was missing from his spot in the bed.
Assuming that it was later in the morning you figured that he was in the kitchen and what not; yet you were thoroughly surprised to find him in the bathroom as well.
“Good morning, angel.” He held out his arms to embrace you in a warm hug, a kiss on the tip of your ear awakening you slightly.
“Carlisle, what’s all this?” Waving your pajama clad arm to motion at all the supplies set up, the man followed with his eyes to see what you were pointing at.
“Oh, all of that you mean?” A tiny smirk was on his lips… what was he up to now?
You nodded in answering his question.
“Simple. We are going to have a spa day!” Carlisle looked so giddy, you burst into a grin.
It was quite adorable how he had set up a spot to give you a pedicure by the large tub and another for a manicure on his side of the counters.
Carlisle led you to sit on the edge of the tub where hot water met your aching feet. (Yes, they were still hurting.)
It was almost as if Carlisle had done this before as he went through all the steps of a pedicure, leaving you in comfortable silence to relax as he did so.
If that wasn’t enough to make you feel like the luckiest person on earth, Carlisle then led you to sit on a comfortable stool as he now manicured your hands.
Just like with your achy feet, Carlisle carefully massaged the knots out of your hand.
These glorious hours passed by too fast as suddenly he was done with his handiwork.
“All done, darling!” He kissed your now softened hands, proudly showing you his painting skills as well. (He really did have those steady doctor hands.)
You readily complimented him and thanked him repeatedly, smothering his face in pecks to get the point across.
Carlisle just laughed it off, “It was no problem because you deserve nothing but the best.”
I NEED A SPA DAY WITH CARLISLE UGHH. also please excuse any mistakes! i didn’t proofread…
i hope you enjoyed! <3

I don’t know if you can make it fluffy but I am trying to work on myself at getting ready for applying the FBI. I am working on sudokus, word scramble puzzles, and crosswords. All at the same time... I know I’m weird. But maybe they could help each other well Reid helps reader more. Idk teasing ensues and then a TICKLE WAR!!! 🤪
It’s just a thought!
SO CUTE ABSOLUTELY
i learned how to do sudokus at the ripe age of 6 years old so please don’t feel weird bc you know how to do them!!
in all honesty, i have no idea if this is what you’re looking for but i enjoyed writing it! thank you for the request!
tw: mostly just fluff, a bit of teasing and kissing and cuddling :)
over the years you had developed habits that allowed you to decompress after a long day of studying. most people would take a nice warm bath, watch their comfort tv show, or maybe just take a nap. you had snagged a love for sudoku, crossword puzzles, and word scrambles.
so as you sat at the dining room table of your living boyfriend spencer reid after getting ready for bed, you continued the crossword puzzle from this morning’s newspaper. you had all but two figured out and it was driving you insane. spencer, being the amazing profiler he was, could clearly sense the frustration radiating off of you.
he waltzed over to your sitting position and placed his hands on your shoulders. you didn’t even react, all too consumed in your own mind trying to figure out what the remaining words were until he began applying a light pressure to your shoulders. you groaned in pleasure as you turned to see your beloved with a love struck smile on his face.
“what’re you working on there?” he asked, continuing the light shoulder massage.
“just this morning’s crossword puzzle,” you shrugged, allowing your head to loll back. “i only have two left and i’m driving myself crazy,” you sighed.
“maybe i could help?” he questioned as his hands migrated higher towards your neck and applying even lighter pressure there.
“that’s cheating!” you scolded him, your head popping up to furrow your brows at his proposal.
“what?” he asked in return. “how’s that cheating?!”
“you’re practically a walking dictionary, spence,” you rolled your eyes. “i would like to finish this the fair and proper way.”
“just let me look! i promise i won’t tell you what it is,” he relented, giving you his best puppy dog eyes that he knew you couldn’t resist.
“fine!” you groaned as you leaned to the side, giving him a clear view of the paper. after he got a good look, you heard him giggle underneath his breath. “what? why’re you laughing?” you questioned him now, he didn’t tell you as he continued his chuckles. “spence seriously! what’s so funny?” you placed your hands on his that we’re still on your neck.
“6 across, ‘what happens when you wake up in the morning and stretch,’ starts with pa and ends in ion,” he raised his eyebrows as if that should’ve been enough to let you know what it was. “pandiculation!” he laughed out, trying his best not to make you feel like a fool.
“i knew that one! ughh!” you groaned as you filled in the space. “i can’t believe i didn’t remember it,” you shook your head at yourself as you finally figured out the last word, malapert.
“it’s alright,” he began, you thought he was trying to cheer you up. “not everyone can be as smart as me,” he grinned smugly before you pushed his shoulder back completely, his grasp on you completely relinquished as you turned around with a huff.
“fine mr. genius,” you teased. “why don’t you just cuddle yourself tonight?” suddenly you felt the chair turn 180° to face him once again. just to rub it in, you tilted your face up in the air, your nose pointed towards the ceiling now as his hands grasped your chin.
“that’s dr. genius to you, ma’am,” he teases before wrapping his arms around you, lifting you out of the chair as you squealed.
“spencer!” you laughed. “let me go!”
“nope,” he popped the ‘p’ as he launched you on the bed, climbing on top of you slowly.
you leaned in slowly for a kiss, as did he. the small peck turned into a few heated kisses, spencer biting on your bottom lip as he pulled away before connecting his hands with your waist once more. and then... tickles!
“oh my god!” you snorted out, trying to pry his hands off of you but only failing. “it’s so hard to breathe! aghh!”
“never!” he laughed back before your body started tossing and turning.
spencer connected his lips to your neck as his attacks continued, your hands found purchase in his curly locks as you pulled him away from your neck. his tickles finally ceased as you connected your lips once more.
“i love you,” he whispered, your foreheads connected.
“and i, you, dr. genius,” you smiled as your hands connected around his neck, playing with his hair once more.
you fell asleep that night with spencer laying on your chest, his arms wrapped around you in a protective manner.
and maybe you found out something new about yourself during your time with spencer.
it wasn’t the crossword puzzles or the sudokus that helped you relax and decompress...
it was spencer.

" 'S'okay petal, you'll get it eventually. I'm going to have to do it again though."
Holy shit Neville training his Virgin S/O ??? Yes, like he has a lotta contrary to what most of his friends believe, and that's because he gets most of his experience over summer break because he doesn't want to be stuck with a girl during school that he just experimented with.
So when he finally gets a S/O he has that experience to teach them as well and is so patient and each day they can take him further down their throat even if it's just a little until they can take him comfortably to the base which is sooo difficult to do.
Omg imagine His s/o talking about it with their friends casually because the topic changed to talking about everyone's sex life and they explain how long it took for them to fully take Neville down the throat and their friends and laughing at them a little because "it doesn't take that long to learn how not to gag." And his s/o accidentally let's it slip just how fucking huge his cock is and their friends go silent like, "and you're able to take the whole thing?? COMFORTABLY?!" And their confused like "ain't that normal" and they have to explain it's not and Nev has a monster cock.
Oh oh oh what if him with a virgin s/o he wants to take things slow so he takes weeks maybe even months if their relationship just finding them or eating them out and having them give him head until his s/o is all whiney about it and he eventually had enough and is like "you asked for this, so take the whole thing slut" and has them crying and shaking and he's being really rough with them and is hella surprised to find their not crying over his size or pain but because it feels so good and he calls them a horny slut and how they shouldn't be enjoying their first time as much and only whores do that and uggghhhh
I need to stop 😭
-🦡
EKGNNKGN PLEASE NO DON'T STOP THIS IS
UGHH 🦡 ANON EVERYTHING THAT YOU TYPE IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT PLS NEVER LEAVE BC OMG
now everyone thank 🦡 anon for feeding us everyday and making us all pine after nev. like 🦡 anon almost has me asking questions on what they think about certain things and this is my blog KNEJKGJ
u-um 🦡 anon..... how do you think they'd react to learning about his dick piercing from virgin!s/o

Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?* uhhh i don't think so? maybe yja birdflash

Is there anything you used to like but can’t stand now?* like in fandom?? or irl?? bc uhhh ?? ill think about it lmao
Have you received anon hate? What about?*y ooh yes and they're all stupid asf (one about tim, another about steph, a bunch about me, and a few about timkon)
Most disliked character(s)? Why? mmm older jon in certain writings, everything in the 2003 tt run (specially cassie i just can't stand her idk her character was butchered and its not HER and it pisses me off), and uhhh for hq i don't have any in particular. i love them all.
Most disliked arc? Why? hmmm??? i don't knowwwww/ none come to mind lmao but i hate a few i know this (im sure there are a bunch of posts of me professing my hate for arcs n stuff) -- edit: the one in which seijoh my beloved DIDN'T go to nationals like 🙄 the fuck was that one about amirite

Unpopular opinion about the manga/show? l5ve it
If you could change anything in the show, what would you change? i'd let seijoh go to nationals... everyone gets to go to nationals fuck you
Instead of XYZ happening, I would have made ABC happen… nah
Does not shipping something ‘popular’ mean you’re in denial and/or biased? i don't get the question bc im tired and have no brains <3 but sometimes i go "i am NOT going to feel this way about XX character because everyone else feels that way about him (read: i will NOT be a jason simp bc everyone's a jason simp anyways -- disclaimer: I AM NOT)

Galactica, Chapter 43 (Group Fic) - TheDane/Veronica
A/N: Hola muffins! Click here if you’re looking for previous chapters (or here if you’d rather read on AO3). 💫
Last Chapter: Adore threw a tantrum, but it may have been justified.
This Chapter: Bianca has some ‘splainin to do, Courtney plays pretend, Violet gets some exciting news, and Fame has a workplace scare.
***
The first thing Bianca did when she got home on Friday was kick off her stilettos, giving her poor feet a break after the long week. The second thing she did was feed the dogs, her beloved chihuahuas jumping around like crazy while she filled their bowls and freshened up their water dishes. And the third thing? She emptied almost a full bottle of Cabernet into a wine glass, carrying it upstairs to her room.
She opened the door, flipped on the lights, and that’s when she nearly had a heart attack.
Adore, who was on the sofa in her bedroom sitting area, had apparently been waiting for her in the dark.
“Jesus fucking christ!” Bianca said, clutching her chest, a wine stain already spreading on her area rug where she’d spilled in fear.
“Hello Bianca.”
“What the fuck are you doing sitting here in the dark, you psychopath?” Bianca crouched down, examining the stain. “Fuck.”
“I need to talk to you.”
“Normal people use a phone!” Bianca sighed, standing back up. “This rug is destroyed, by the way.”
Bianca pointed, doing her best not to spill again, the thought of having to make arrangements with a decorator already putting her on edge, but she guessed she’d just have Joslyn take care of it.
“Thank you for that.” Bianca shook her head, sitting down in the armchair across from Adore. “So, what’s going on?”
“I thought,” said Adore, “that you didn’t have any secrets from me.”
She looked wounded, like a child, and Bianca groaned internally. This had to be about Pearl.
“I don’t, pussycat.” Bianca set her wine down and leaned forward. “I’m an open book for you.”
It was true. There were things Adore knew that Bianca would never tell another soul--and vice versa. Bianca would never, for the life of her, lie to Adore. On the other hand, there were things that she just didn’t feel right bringing up.
“Oh yeah? Then why didn’t you tell me about Fame and Pearl? Huh?” Adore accused.
There it was.
“That wasn’t my secret to tell,” Bianca offered, hoping that Adore would believe her. She wouldn’t have lied, not if she was asked a direct question, but why open up a can or worms if she didn’t have to? Why risk hurting Adore, why betray Fame’s trust, all for this ill-fated, hopefully short-lived relationship with Pearl fucking Liaison?
“Bullshit!”
“Adore…”
“No, I don’t understand. Because you say you love me, you want to protect me, but you lied to me, you lied, for months, and-”
“I didn’t lie, I just didn’t tell you-”
“I’m gonna strangle you right now, bitch,” Adore said, seething with anger. “You fucking lied!”
The semantics argument would never work--Bianca could see that. So instead, she sighed, rubbing her temples, and changed tactics entirely. “Would it have made a difference?” she asked.
“Huh?”
“If I had told you everything. Broken Fame’s trust, told you all about everything I knew. Would it have changed the way you felt about Pearl? Would it have stopped you from liking her?”
Bianca knew her sister, knew that Adore would most likely have dug in her heels and wanted Pearl even more if a pseudo-parent figure had sat her down and tried to explain all the reasons why she was a terrible choice. If it was guaranteed to stop Adore from getting hurt, Bianca would probably have told her and risked Fame’s wrath.
“Well…” Adore paused, considering the question. “Probably not, but-”
“Well, there you go.” Bianca picked up her glass again and took a large sip. In all honesty, she felt a lot better that it had come out, especially without her having to be the one to tell. Maybe now, Adore would start to see Pearl for who she truly was.
“B…”
“Yes?”
Adore’s lip quivered, eyes shining with tears, and Bianca knew that she’d cave. She always did.
She moved to the sofa, wrapping Adore into her arms, her younger sister curling into her lap the way she used to, even if it was a bit ridiculous now, considering that Adore was so much taller than her.
“I’m sorry, baby girl,” she murmured into Adore’s hair as she rocked her.
“I need to trust you, B,” Adore cried, clinging to her. “I thought you were the one person who would always be honest with me.”
Bianca brushed her tears away, pressing a kiss to her forehead. “I know. I’m sorry.”
Adore sniffled, nodding.
“What can I do to make it up to you? Hmm?”
“Can Pearl come to Thanksgiving?” Adore asked, perking up a little. The little rat seemed to have that answer ready awfully quickly.
“Ughh, Adore, you’re still with her?”
“Yes! She’s not the one who lied to me. She assumed I knew all along,” Adore said. “And besides, some of us are mature enough to handle real relationships.”
“Ouch.”
“Sorry. But…” Adore shrugged, “When’s the last time you dated someone longer than a month?”
“Fine. Pearl can come to Thanksgiving,” Bianca said. Anything to avoid the dreaded ‘why don’t you ever commit?’ conversation.
Adore’s face broke into a happy grin, throwing her arms back around Bianca’s neck.
“Thank you, B! I always knew you were my favorite sister.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah…”

Pearl was humming along to the music in her headphones as she made her way towards the laundry room, basket under her arms. Normally, Katya was the one who washed everyone's clothes, even taking Pearl’s too, but this weekend, Trixie had taken her to Coney Island, and Pearl was nothing if not a good roomie.
At least when it suited her.
Pearl pushed the door open, fully expecting the basement to be devoid of anyone she knew, but instead of bumping into some random neighbor, she saw Violet bent over and pulling her clothes out of the washer.
Pearl smirked, leaning against the doorframe for a minute to watch Violet stretch, her ass absolutely delicious in the tight yoga pants she was wearing. Violet stood back up, still not noticing Pearl, and while Pearl didn’t mind peeking, she didn’t want to upset the truce between her and Violet, so she coughed, causing Violet to turn around.
“Oh.” Violet looked genuinely surprised, her hands filled with workout clothes. “Hi Pearl, I didn’t-” Violet paused, looking at the basket under Pearl’s arm.. “... Are you washing clothes?”
“Yes?” Pearl smirked, “Did you think I didn’t?”
“Honestly? I did… Think you didn’t?” Violet bit her lip, tilting her head. “I’ve never imagined you doing chores, ever.”
“Good to hear that you’re thinking about me, Chachki.” Pearl grinned, satisfaction curling up her spine.
“Sure.” Violet snorted, moving aside so there was room for Pearl to walk into the small room.
“A girl can dream.”
“Don’t get too full of yourself.” Violet smiled, pouring her own clothes into the dryer. “It doesn’t suit you.”
“I think you think it suits me fine.” Pearl wiggled her brows. She knew that she probably shouldn’t be flirting with Violet, but it was impossible not to,  least of all when it was so fun.
“Whatever.” Violet rolled her eyes, but she still looked amused. She started the dryer, but didn’t make a move to leave, Pearl noticing that she had a thermos and a stack of magazines, Violet grabbing one of them.
“My my Vivi,” Pearl closed the lid on the washer. “Planning to sit on the dryer?”
“What? No, ew, Pearl!” Violet slapped her on the shoulder with the magazine. “Shut up!”
“You can’t make me.” Pearl grinned, getting up and leaning against the small table Violet had put her setup out on. “So what are we reading?”
***
“Tati!” Courtney called out, waving to get her friend’s attention in the crowded Port Authority bus terminal. They’d both realized how much they missed each other at the Halloween party, with Courtney working crazy hours and living all the way up in the Bronx, and Tatianna staying with her cousins in New Jersey.
The truth was that  Courtney had felt a bit disconnected from all of her friends recently. She still managed to at least text with Adore every day, but it was hard to keep up with everyone else--something she was determined to fix.
The girls hugged fiercely, then headed out, towards the cute brunch spot that Ivy had recommended. Courtney noticed right away that Tatianna seemed a bit reserved, not all all like her usual bubbly self.
“Is everything okay?” she asked, squeezing her friend’s hand as they waited for the light to change.
“Yeah. Yeah, it’s been alright. I’m just getting a little bit frustrated with the whole modeling thing. I still haven’t found a decent agent, and all I keep on getting are these cattle calls. I just...ugh, sometimes I wonder if it’s all just a mistake.” She heaved a sigh, shoulders slumped, face dejected.
Courtney knew exactly how she felt. She’d gone through the exact same thing when she moved to New York, trying desperately to go on as many auditions as possible. It was so disheartening to feel invisible. But she knew that Tati would make it--she was so beautiful, one of the prettiest girls Courtney had ever known, and the photos Courtney had seen were amazing.
“Don’t give up. I know it’s hard, but...I really think you’re gonna get a break soon.”
“Yeah?”
“Absolutely. And actually… Well, I don’t know what their casting process is, but I’ve gotten really friendly with the head of our makeup department. Maybe I can give her your photos?”
“Are you kidding? That would be the best fucking thing ever!” Tati exclaimed, beaming at her.
Courtney smiled, hoping that she wasn’t over-promising, but thrilled that she seemed to have turned her friend’s mood around.
“That’s honestly so cool though, even if they don’t use me. You’re really making friends in high places!”
“Yeah,” Courtney said, a dry chuckle slipping from her lips. “Actually, there’s a show coming up in a few weeks too, like this private thing at the showroom for the holiday collection. I could try slipping you into the casting pile for that too. Raja is in charge of that and her assistant is super nice.”
“You’re such a fucking goddess, thank you!” Tati said.
“Anytime.”
“So then, are things going better at work? I mean, you’re liking it more?”
“Ummm…” Courtney sighed.
“Uh oh. That doesn’t sound good.”
She really tried to be positive about work. She tried to keep a good attitude, tried not to cringe in fear every time her work phone buzzed after hours. But sometimes, like on a Sunday afternoon when she just wanted to enjoy brunch with her friend but couldn’t keep the racing thoughts about everything she’d have to do in the coming week from intruding—sometimes it was hard. She hadn’t confessed this to her friends yet, for fear of it getting back to Adore. She just didn’t want to seem like she was ungrateful for the opportunity. But something told her that she could trust Tati.
“Well...it’s just...it’s really stressful. All the time, and I keep thinking that it’ll get easier, you know? But instead there’s just more and more and the hours are always long and even when I’m supposed to be sleeping, I’m always thinking about work or worried that I forgot something. Plus, I don’t think Miss Fame likes me very much and it’s just…”
“Shitty?”
“Yeah,” Courtney exhaled, surprised at how much of a relief it felt to unburden herself. “Sometimes I feel like...I’m barely holding on. It’s like I can’t...find the solid ground, you know?”
Tati nodded solemnly, stopping mid stride to turn and give Courtney a big, comforting hug. Then, she suddenly grasped her by the shoulders, a sly smile on her face as she said, “I know what you need!”
Courtney laughed, curiosity distracting her from her troubles as Tati dragged her down the block, right into a high-end boutique filled with clothes that they could never afford in a million years. In that moment, Courtney knew exactly what she was up to--a perfectly ridiculous game they started last year when the stress of school was getting overwhelming.
She had to bite her cheek to keep from laughing when Tatianna found a sales clerk and “introduced” herself.
“Helloooo!” she crooned in a terrible British accent, sticking out her hand as if the woman should kiss it. “Tatianna Buckingham, Duchess of Hamptonshire, pleasure to meet you. This is my friend, Courtney Vanderbilt-Rockefeller, and we need gowns for a gala next week.”
The sales girl smiled patiently, asking them if they wanted some champagne.
“Sounds lovely, darling. Thanks ever so.”
The moment the clerk walked away, Courtney began laughing, whispering, “She totally knew you were lying.”
“So?” Tati challenged. “Maybe she likes to play, too.”
“Maybe,” Courtney giggled, pawing through a rack of floor-length beaded gowns. “Ooh, Tati dahhhling, this turquoise one would look positively diviiine on you!”
“I don’t know about that one, I was planning to wear the rubies and it might clash.”
“Then wear the diamonds, love!”
“Great idea! Alright, let’s try it on!”
The clerk returned with champagne, and Tati held out her glass for a toast, her arms already full of clothes to try on.
“To solid ground,” she said solemnly, and Courtney toasted her back enthusiastically.
“Cheers!”
They spent nearly an hour in the store, trying on gowns, resort wear and pristinely tailored ensembles, taking turns styling each other and then strutting around the dressing room as if it was a Paris runway. The whole thing was silly and fun and made Courtney feel like she used to: young and happy and free.
When they finally left the store to head to brunch, Courtney couldn’t help pull her friend in for a hug, whispering, “Thank you,” into her hair.
“Anytime, buttercup,” Tati told her, pressing a kiss to her temple.
***
“It’s here!” cried Kandy, and a murmur went through the whole design floor, everyone reaching for their respective tablets.
It had been almost an hour since the department head meeting ended, Trixie informing them all that Miss Fame’s office would be sending the team the final prêt-à-porter sketches that had gone to tailoring for production.
Of course Courtney would be slower than death, but Violet had still spent the whole 30 minutes constantly refreshing her email. She knew it was petty considering the number of people that were trying for it, but she really really wanted that jacket spot and she had a few other looks she thought were promising as well.
One, a breezy dress that could be dressed up or down depending on styling, and a top with beautiful sleeve detailing. But the jacket...if the jacket was chosen, then it boded very well for her chance of getting the opening or closing couture look, since the dress she was currently working on used some of the same techniques.
It was probably a pipe dream to even hope for a spot like that, being the newest designer, but Violet was going to give it her best shot.
Violet clicked on the attachment, lip between her teeth as she carefully looked through, doing her best not to skip anything.
The first sketch of hers that she recognized was a skirt, one of the simpler submissions that she hadn’t even felt 100% about, but it fit in with the casual separates. The dress that she liked was in there too--with a note to lengthen the hemline. She wrinkled her nose, hoping that the extra fabric wouldn’t make the skirt look dowdy.
Then, she found it on page 38 among the other outwear--her jacket.
She grinned happily to herself, beyond pleased and excited to have this major success under her belt and more determined than ever to perfect her couture submission.
***
“Courtney! I need the tailoring budgets now!”
Fame shrugged her coat off as she walked into her office, taking her coat and letting it fall, trusting her assistant to catch it before it touched the ground. Fame had just finished her weekly yoga and therapy, talking with her therapist over the phone while stretching out. She didn’t like the therapy, hated doing it actually, but she couldn’t discredit the fact that it did make her feel slightly less anxious to unload on someone once a week.
“Have you talked to Shangela yet?” Fame looked at Courtney, her assistant holding the budget out for her. “I want-” Fame paused, realizing that this was the first time in weeks that she had actually looked at Courtney, the pastel pink no longer in the blonde hair.
Or rather, in what used to be blonde.
“What’s that?” On top of Courtney’s head, was the most disgusting half inch of severely neglected roots, the hair making Courtney’s entire appearance look cheap and tawdry. “Where do you get your hair done?”
Courtney’s hand flew to her hair, covering up the roots as the color drained for her face.
“I do it myself. I’m sorry, I know I need to touch up-”
“Yourself?” Fame tried to remember if she had ever had to reprimand Violet like this, Courtney looking like an absolute disaster. “And how do you think your current hairstyle reflects on the company? And most importantly me?”
“Um...well, I-” Courtney bit her lip, and Fame sighed internally.
For the most part, Courtney had been doing alright. For one thing, she was no longer skipping around the place like a child, and seemed to be taking her job seriously, at least. But in spite of her meager progress, she still had so much to learn. Drug store dye? Did she think this was a strip club instead of a top tier fashion house?
“Remember. Only perfection is acceptable.” Fame said, her tone clipped and pointed as she strode into her office, then turned around and proclaimed, “That’s all,” finally shutting the door in Courtney’s face.
***
Sutan was sitting at his desk at work, a smile on his face as he was reading the email that had just ticked in from Violet.
Normally, it was nearly impossible to get a hold of the woman during work hours, the task even harder now that she didn’t have a work phone anymore, but judging from the excitement that radiated from her email, Violet had been unable to wait until she was off the clock to tell him that she had gotten not one, not two, but three pieces into the prêt-à-porter collection.
Sutan was just about to email her back with congratulations, his mind already racing with how they should celebrate, when he heard a tap on his door.
He was one of the only agents who had an always open door policy, his models and coworkers always welcome, Sutan more often than not getting visits from models that didn’t even belong to him when there was trouble on the horizon, girls coming by to share their frustrations or worries with someone who listened.
Today, however, it wasn’t a model who had shown up at his door.
“Oh,” Sutan smiled. “Tamisha, hello.”
Tamisha Iman was the current CEO of Elite Model with over 30 years of experience in the business. She looked gorgeous as always, her skin perfection even though she was in her mid 50s. She was wearing a red pant suit, her brown hair perfectly styled.
“What can I help you with?”
“Do you have five?”
“Of course.” Sutan raised an eyebrow as Tamisha stepped inside, closing the door behind her. It was years since Tamisha had last been upset with him, and even though she was a firm but fair boss, you never really knew. “Anything wrong?”
“Can I bum a cigarette? I just had the most terrible meeting with the L.A. office-”
“Ah.” Sutan smiled, leaning back in his chair and folding his hands over his stomach. “And who says I smoke?”
“Oh please,” Tamisha rolled her eyes. “I know you got the goods Amrull.”
“I thought you quit last year?”
“Don’t care.”
“Ouch.” Sutan laughed, opening the bottom drawer and pulling out the packets of cigarettes he always kept there. “I only have Camels.”
“That’s fine.” Tamisha had already walked over to his window, opening it and hiking up her skirt to crawl out onto his fire escape. “Are you coming?”
“Course boss.” Sutan smiled as he grabbed his lighter, listening to one of the few people he considered a friend bitch not the worst way to spend an afternoon.
***
Pearl climbed the stairs from the subway, she and Trixie having a rare weekday dinner without Katya since she was busy with parent-teacher conferences, so they’d opted for their favorite dim sum place downtown. As they began walking up the block, Pearl stopped short, her eyes opening wide.
“Oh my god…”
“What?” Trixie asked.
The whole time Pearl was speaking to Dahlia at Adore’s last gig, she was certain that she’d seen the dark-haired beauty somewhere before. Now, looking at the giant XXX LIVE NUDE GIRLS XXX sign, she finally figured it out. She used to use the seedy strip club as a meeting place, whenever she was trying to get info from a straight guy. Granted, that didn’t happen terribly often in the fashion industry, which was probably why she hadn’t thought of it. But as soon as she saw that sign, she knew. Dahlia worked there. Pearl could picture her clear as day, in nothing but a tiny little thong, chest glistening with glitter.
“That strip club,” Pearl said. “Let’s go in!”
“What?” Trixie sputtered a laugh.
“For a drink! Real quick…”
“No way bro, not on your life.”
“Come on!” Pearl begged, reasoning, “Katya wouldn’t care, she’d probably think it was funny.”
“Maybe so, but I’m not interested,” Trixie told her firmly.
“Please, Trix? There’s a girl there that is just like...so fucking hot. I just want to see if she’s working tonight.”
“I’m not interested in helping you cheat on your girlfriend with a stripper, either.” Trixie looked absolutely disgusted with her. He was really the worst wingman in the world.
“It wouldn’t be cheating! We talked about it and agreed that we should be open.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yeah!” Pearl grinned, spreading her arms. “I’m living the dream.”
Trixie snorted and shook his head. “If you say so.”
“So will you come inside?”
“Still no.”
Pearl sighed, continued to follow him up the street to the dim sum place, all the while entertaining herself with images of what Dahlia looked like on stage… Her tall, luscious body wrapped in silky lingerie. The subtle scent of her perfume lingering even as she walked away, swaying her perfect hips.
***
The scent of spices was filling Sutan’s kitchen, music playing while he chopped up the last of the chili, humming to himself as he rocked back and forth to the music, a glass of wine getting picked up once in a while.
“What are we listening to?”
Violet was sitting at the table, filing her nails and drinking her own glass of wine as she watched Sutan, but most importantly his ass in those jeans, cooking dinner.
“What?” Sutan looked over his shoulder. “Are you seriously asking that? It’s the Temptations? They’re the only band from the 60s that matters.”
“Really?” Violet looked at Sutan, actually a little surprised at how passionate he seemed to be about music. If Violet was being totally honest, she always preferred instrumentals, vocals often only distracting.
“Yes, really?” Sutan huffed, “Youth these days.”
“I’m sorry,” Violet laughed, the man sounding genuinely offended.
“You better be.” Sutan smiled, tipping the last of the chili into the pan. “Or I might not give you your present.”
“My present?”
“Yes.” Sutan wiped his hands on the tea towel. “Watch the stove, would you?”
Violet was about to protest, but Sutan had already walked off. She wasn’t exactly sure what she was supposed to watch, the pasta dish Sutan was whipping together way above her level of cooking skills.
“Here we go.” Sutan walked back into the kitchen, holding a white box, a white ribbon wrapped around it, the word Dior printed on it in gold.
“Is-” Viole stood up, suddenly feeling boiling hot and overwhelmed. “Is that what I think it is?”
“Well,” Sutan grinned, putting the box down on the table in front of her. “Depends on what you think it is?”
“Sutan, I-” Violet didn’t know what to say, didn’t know what to think.
“Come on,” Sutan gave her a gentle push with his elbow.
“Are you serious?”
“Open it.”
Violet's hands were shaking as she reached for the ribbon and opened the box. Violet pulled the white paper away, her fingers making contact with the soft purple leather. Her hand flew to her mouth, covering it as she looked into the box, completely overwhelmed before she snapped to Sutan, a look of surprise and confusion on her face.
“Congrats on your designs being picked, lovely eyes.” Sutan smiled. “After getting a good look at your bag at the park the other day,” He raised an eyebrow, Violet remembering that she had shown it in his arms when she had spotted the pug. “I figured you needed a new one.”
“Oh my God, oh God.” Violet could feel the tears gathering in her eyes; she didn’t want to cry, but she was simply so overwhelmed.
Sutan always paid for their meals and their dates, refusing even the sight of Violet’s credit card, but it had never been anything like this before, never a gift that so obviously said, ‘I’m your boyfriend and I care about you.’
“Don’t cry darling,” Violet felt Sutan’s arms around her, pulling her against his chest as he pressed a kiss to her temple. “Take a look at it.”
Violet nodded, crying as she pulled the Dior Diorissimo in the most gorgeous pale purple leather out of the box.
“A cool designer bag for my cool designer girlfriend.” Sutan grinned, pressing yet another kiss against Violet’s hair. “Hopefully, it’ll be able to withstand the abuse of all the things you insist on lugging around.”
“This is,” Violet didn’t know what to say. “I-” She turned her head, looking up at Sutan. “Thank you. This is… Thank you. I love it.”

Requested by: anon
Mine
Pairings: fem!reader x Choi Sooyoung / Joy
Warnings: nothing much, just some (not really) mafia au scenario
/ it's my first writing about this so yeah, please bear with it and I couldn't really stick to the plot hehe /
-----------
Park Sooyoung, the youngest underground mafia boss in Seoul had been keeping her eyes on a one specific woman. But due to the conflicts in her schedule, she couldn't have time to arrange a proper meeting with you, Kang Y/n. She also has a small knowledge about you that makes her more excited to meet you personally.
Meanwhile, you're the daughter of Kang Seungwoo (just a random name lol) who is one of the prestigious individuals when it comes to political status. The Kang family haven't been involved in unnecessary rumors or news, in other words they are strict and timid with their actions. You really didn't care about it and you despise people who show their interest on you for their own sake or for money.
Your cold and ignorant attitude had been your own bestfriend when interacting with people which you hate the most. When your family is invited in an event, you would keep a reserved aura. Luckily, your cousin Hyewon is there to accompany you for the whole time.
Today is a rather interesting day since it's your 21st year of living in this unwholesome world.
You were awoken by Miss Choi, your beloved nanny since you came out of your mother's womb. The older tapped your shoulder gently that made you slur inaudible sounds.
"Goodmorning, young master. It's already 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Your father is expecting you in the dining room as fast as possible"
(Bruh does that even make sense lol, morning then noon i-)
After a few seconds of adjusting your sight into the bright lighting, you opened your eyes then brushed your hand through your ruffled hair. Miss Choi prepared a warm bath for you to freshen up and start your special day. You got up up from your bed slowly then entered the bathroom sluggishly. You removed the pieces of clothing on your body then dipped yourself into the water. A sigh escaped from your lips as you closed your eyes from the tranquilizing feeling sipping through your skin.
It took you roughly 20 minutes to get yourself dry and dressed up casually. You strutted gracefully downstairs and saw your parents chatting as they ate lunch peacefully.
"Hi darling, happy birthday to you!" Your mother hugged you tightly then gave a kiss on your cheek.
"Thanks mom" you smiled lightly.
"Happy birthday, Y/n" your father greeted.
You thanked him then joined them for lunch. They talked about business things and you would occasionally answer their questions, stuffs like that.
When you're all done, they left immediately for a quick meeting at the city hall with 2 bodyguards guiding them to a black Mercedes.
You looked around your spacious living room and decided to call your bestfriend Yujin to come over. The latter agreed quickly and was on the way already.
You sat comfortably against the classy couch and waited for Yujin to arrive. You fished out your phone then scrolled through Insta then you saw Sooyoung's recent post.
"Hmm, she's cute..." you mumbled nonchalantly.
"Who's cute, Y/n/n?"
You flinched and almost fell when you saw Yujin peeking behind your shoulder.
"Bitch! When did you even got here?" You asked.
"I just came in a minute ago. Miss Choi had let me in" the latter smiled cheekily.
"You almost gave me a heart attack..." you grumbled while putting your hand over your chest.
"I'm sorry, so who's cute?" Yujin sat beside you and waited for your answer.
"Uhh, no one" you managed to say.
The girl looked at you suspiciously then glanced at your phone.
"Ahh I see, so Park Sooyoung aka Joy is your type now huh?" She teased while nudging your shoulder.
A blush crept into your cheeks as you tried to deny what your bestfriend said.
"What? I don't know what you're talking about" you pressed the home button of your phone nervously.
"Yeah yeah, don't worry I won't tell anyone"
Yujin looked at you, trying not to laugh at your priceless reaction. You just shook your head and grabbed the remote of the TV.
"Oh! Happy birthday you jerk" she added.
"Yeah, I thought you wouldn't remember" you said sarcastically.
"Oh come on, how can I forget my baby's bday" she pinched your cheeks while making some cringy noise.
You whined and tried to pry her hands off.
"Yah! if you don't put your hands down imma kill you" you threatened.
"Fine, fine. So why did you called me over? Your party will not start until the sun sets though"
'Oh right, the party yey...'
"Ughh, I dont want to goooo" you complained like child.
"Duh of course you need to go, it's your own celebration for fuck sake" Yujin stated with an 'as a matter of fact' tone.
Your parents prepared a party for your special day. Many influential people are invited and Sooyoung was one of them. You had seen her before from fashion events that was held by her own company.
She was pretty popular and has been known as an independent woman. You also by the way, is interested to know her more which is quite rare.
"What are you going to wear Y/n?" Yujin suddenly asked.
"Uh just some suit that I bought recently"
You weren't a fan of girly stuffs so yeah, you're wearing suits frequently.
"Hmm, what should I wear then?" The latter said while scratching her not so itchy chin.
"Just say that you want to borrow my clothes again" you chuckled as you smacked Yujin's head playfully.
"Oh man, how did you know?"
You just snickered at her antics .
"I know you so well Yujin-ah" the latter started to pout like a child.
"Shall we get ready early instead? I'm bored" you yawned wearily.
Yujin agreed as you both walked upstairs towards your room.
---- time skip ----
You're currently sipping a vintage Vinfolio wine as Hyewon and Yujin kept blabbering between you. Your parents in the other hand, are talking with some acquaintance from what you can see in your peripheral vision.
Meanwhile, Sooyoung has been glancing at you from time to time with some of her 'secretly' mafia members chatting beside her. The gorgeous woman decided to muster up her courage and strutted towards your table. You noticed her in a short red-sparkled dress which hugged her toned body perfectly. She had confident smile on her lips, determined to make you fall for her.
"Good evening Y/n-ssi, I've been wanting to meet you for a long time" Sooyoung greeted and lend her hand out for a hand shake.
"It goes the same for me, Joy-ssi" you showed your signature smile and held her hand gently.
"Wanna talk somewhere else? It's pretty crowded in here..." the latter suggested as you shared a meaningful look with Hyewon and Yujin which they understood quickly.
"Yeah, sure" you nodded and guided Sooyoung to the nearest balcony within the ginormous event hall.
"So I heard you're planning to collab with the Kim's corporation next month"
"Hmm, we're still discussing about the terms of the company so it's not sure yet" you answered politely.
"I didn't know that Sangwoo is your father" Sooyoung stated while staring at your side profile.
You looked out into the distance and agreed timidly. The latter bit her lips then went closer to you.
"You know what, can we hangout sometimes when you're free?"
You chuckled lightly while swirling your wine glass in a circular motion.
"Are you trying to hit on me Miss Park?" Sooyoung smirked while dragging along your shoulder.
"I mean who wouldn't with someone attractive like you?" She flirted casually.
"Fine, meet me on Friday at Han River park. 6pm sharp Missy" you said while glancing at her.
Sooyoung smiled victoriously and kissed your cheek.
"I'll make you mine soon Y/n, mine..."

Penumbra
Sweet Jesus... I am still alive and finally back with another chapter. Apologies once again for failing to post it here and for taking so long. 
Link here if you’d prefer AO3.
June 17th.
It had been a day like any other for Ichigo.
He was just a boy then, living his best life alongside his father, newborn sisters and his beloved mother. There was no worry, no cause for distress; just bliss. How could anything be wrong with his mother by his side? Unfortunately for the Kurosaki family, fate was not so kind as to leave them be.
One moment and life was never the same.
Even now, as a grown man, as a father, Masaki’s absence still ate away at his soul. So once again, Ichigo in front of his mother’s headstone, lamenting alone in the rain. He paid no mind to the rain beat against his umbrella or the moist fabric of his pants against his legs. Ever since he and Orihime wed, he’d make the walk to the graveyard on his own. It felt troublesome to ask his son to pay respects to a grandmother he’d never known and Orihime somehow made coming here a worse affair than it already was… So he asked her to stop.
Not that it mattered to him; he liked it better this way. A more personal touch rather than the exuberant parade his father kept on with. It was just him and her. And so he lit the incense, joining his hands in prayer.
“Hey Mom… Been another mundane year but I hope you’re doing okay. Kazui’s getting big, I wish you could’ve met him…”
The young man shut his eyes, sighing deep and heavy in the gentle yet steady wisps of rain. Eyes still closed, Ichigo’s right and slipped down the face of the grave. He traced his fingers across the damp pillar of stone, feeling every dip in the engraving when something drew his attention away. A slight chill went down his spine as he sensed the faint spiritual pressure.
Ichigo knew the signature well: A Hollow.
His days as a substitute Shinigami may have been over but that didn’t stop Hollows from roaming around Karakura. Or keep his natural-born abilities from sensing them mucking around. Ichigo felt every muscle in his body tense up, screaming at him to don Zangetsu once more. With a clenched fist, He decided it was time to return home. After all, it was no longer his place to interfere; a path long behind him now.
“Sorry, Mom. I’ll swing back around when I have the chance.” Ichigo said mournfully. He started the fair walk back to the clinic, body still in turmoil.
C’mon, it’ll only take a minute.
Coward, you’ve faced down GODS. What’s one little hollow?
His mind beckoned him to act. To make good on the vow he’d made to her all those years ago. But he resisted, persistent as his subconscious was. Although their pleas did beg the question. Who was assigned to defend Karakura from Hollows now? It certainly wasn’t he knew, otherwise they’d never leave him alone. Ichigo pretended not to care before his mind travelled elsewhere. Or more specifically, to one person in particular.
Rukia.
How was she? Was she a captain by now? Did she marry that idiot, Renji? So many questions he wanted an answer to.
It had been so long since they’d last spoken. 9 years? No, probably closer to 10 now… Not since that night after the war ended. A night that was easily one of the best of his entire life. But… it was as equally bittersweet. So many things he’d wished he’d said to her then. How different things would be if he hadn’t been paralyzed by indecision. If he’d damned all the laws of the Soul Society to let her hear those three little words.
Ichigo let his arm drop to his side, letting the rain soak the rest of him, “I am a coward…”
And so he walked home, leaving his umbrella behind. The cold drops of water streamed down his sullen face and seeped everywhere else. Ichigo had long thought the rain had disappeared, but like all the relief in his life, it was only for a few fleeting moments.
Elsewhere
Suì-Fēng kept her stance firm, eyes and ears sharp; waiting for even the slightest notion of her enemy. Sand and dirt crunched beneath her sandals as she felt a bead of sweat across her brow. The commander of the punishment force focused on every shifting shadow like a mantis hunting for prey.
“Where are you?” She whispered with an almost jovial hum.
As she uttered the last syllable, she heard the faintest shift in the stones. From above? Good strategy, the lieutenant’s mind mused.
*woosh*
The Shinigami barely had time to think as her foe lunged forward with blinding speed, thrusting their blade with determined vigor. Side-stepping the tip, Suì-Fēng flipped the assailant onto the floor then scrambled for a chokehold. Arms taut around her foe’s neck, Suì-Fēng couldn’t help but gloat.
“You’re gonna have to try harder than that if you wanna beat me, Katsumi.”
A confident chuckle passed Suì-Fēng’s lips as her Captain’s adopted daughter scowled in defeat. But as Suì-Fēng loosened her grip, Katsumi’s silhouette faded into nothing, only leaving behind a single golden ribbon.
“What?!”
“HADO 63: RAIKŌHŌ!!!”
Gray eyes shifted to the adjacent hill, just inside her blind spot. A roaring bolt of lightning surged toward the captain, caught entirely off guard. It was only Yoruichi’s reflexes that managed to get her out of the spell’s way; Suì-Fēng had the singed uniform and hair to match her luck. A Flash step later and the captain and lieutenant were clear of the blast. Its fearsome might shook the ground beneath her, sending dirt and sand asunder into the air.
“Good grief, that much damage with no incantation?” Suì-Fēng scowled, her pride undoubtedly tarnished and by a child no less.
A scoff laced with envy. In the lieutenant’s youth, such mastery and skill were demanded of her; to bring honour not only to her house but to the name Shihouin as well. And to ultimately be out done, prodigy or no, was an unforgivable grievance; at least in her mind. Suì-Fēng moped on the floor of the training hall while she watched her beloved Yoruichi call for Katsumi.
“Katsumi! That’s enough for today!” she called out, her voice faintly echoing, “Bring it in!”
In a moment’s notice, the jovial little girl appeared before her elder shinigami. Arms taut behind her back, Katsumi bobbed up and down out of sheer excitement, eagerly awaiting her mother’s praise.
“How did I do?”
“You performed magnificently, sweetheart. A solid plan with beautiful execution. Not to mention your use of Utsusemi and a high level kido spell such as Raikoho. Even some Captains have trouble utilizing those techniques.”
“Well, I did learn from the best.” Katsumi proudly announced.
Yoruichi ruffled a loving hand through her hair, “I think it’s more than that but thank you darling. Suì-Fēng? Anything you wish to add?”
Her Lieutenant sat silently for a moment, bowing her head a touch.
“Nothing, My Lady. Katsumi performed… exemplary.” The lieutenant gritted, swallowing a bit of her pride, “But don’t let this get to your head, kid…”
“That a challenge?” The girl smirked.
Suì-Fēng’s mood switched instantly back into the same annoyed grouch she always. Her eyebrows became so furrowed, Katsumi thought they might pop off her face. The younger soul kept her grin, trying desperately not to giggle; teasing Suì-Fēng being a trait Yoruichi more or less approved of.
“THAT DOES IT! My lady, would you mind if we went another round?” the petite woman hissed.
“Suì-Fēng… We have an Officer’s meeting to attend.” Yoruichi breathed, clearly exhausted by her lieutenant’s temper.
Before Suì-Fēng could retort, Katsumi beat her to the punch, “C’mon, Mom. One quick spar?”
A deep, audible sigh left the Captain’s mouth, “Ughh… Fine. Just one. Take your positions.”
The lieutenant and apprentice stood and faced one another; Suì-Fēng more than ready to showcase the full power of an officer. Yoruichi would act as their referee, hand raised in waiting.
“Begin.” as she chopped her hand.
The two clashed into a heated fistfight, each feinting and striking with lethal efficiency. Suì-Fēng poured her all into every blow in an attempt to finish this battle quickly. But try as she might, Katsumi kept up, parrying every jab and checking every kick she threw. Growing more frustrated by the second, Suì-Fēng’s blows grew more wild. How can this child possibly keep up with me? Her mind vehemently screamed. Meanwhile, Yoruichi witnessed her lieutenant’s anguish in full. If only she could tell Suì-Fēng who this girl was...
Katsumi on the other hand kept her composure, waiting, watching for an opportunity. And it would most surely come. In her fury, Suì-Fēng’s guard had become sloppy, letting Katsumi slip a spinning kick up and through it. Pegging her chin. It was enough to stun the lieutenant, allowing the young girl to sweep her off her feet.
“Enough! The winner is Katsumi.” Yoruichi announced.
In a show of sportsmanship, Katsumi offered a hand to her downed opponent, only for Suì-Fēng to knock it aside. Breaths heavy, the lieutenant shakily rose to her feet. She assumed her fighting stance again, urging Katsumi to continue.
“Again…” was all she could say. How had she progressed so much in a year?
Before Katsumi could speak or act, Yoruichi stepped in front of her, shielding her daughter from view. And her lieutenant’s stubbornness quickly turned to acquiesce. Suì-Fēng’s captain stared down upon her, eyes cold and daunting as if a member of Central 46 itself.
“Suì-Fēng. Enough. You have nothing to prove to me so let’s end this before you embarrass yourself further.” Her beloved captain reprimanded, arms crossed.
Avoiding her gaze and keeping her head low, Suì-Fēng relented, “Yes, My Lady…”
Knowing full well she couldn’t fully explain the depths of Katsumi’s heritage nor exploit Rukia’s secrets, Yoruichi sought to dismiss herself and Katsumi. Though it did sting, having to watch a dear friend go through such a pressing mental ordeal. So in an act of sympathy, the captain walked over to her defeated subordinate, placing a hand on her shoulder.
“I need to take my daughter home and prepare for this afternoon’s meeting. Can I trust you to do the same?”
“Yes, Lady Yoruichi.” Suì-Fēng spoke, dutiful and precise.
Keeping her voice hushed so Katsumi wouldn’t hear, Yoruichi whispered into her lieutenant’s ear, “Don’t feel ashamed, My daughter is… Unique. One day I hope you’ll know what I mean.”
Now, more puzzled than depressed, Suì-Fēng looked up at her Captain. Her grey eyes begged for some level of clarity, but found none as amber looked back. It was a look she’d grown to know and hate. Equal parts wise and misleading. Suì-Fēng picked herself in a huff, while Yoruichi ushered for Katsumi to follow. The poor girl had patiently waited for her elders to conclude their business and was more than ready to return home. Katsumi practically pranced behind her mother, a gleeful hum on her lips.
Though her cheery demeanor didn’t last. Suì-Fēng wouldn’t meet her gaze as she passed by, out of shame or remaining slivers of pride, Katsumi could not tell. It was confusing; she wanted to feel proud of her victory but the way Suì-Fēng looked soured any attempt. The girl stopped briefly, fingers fiddling nervously as she said the only thing she could think to say.
“Sorry.”
Suì-Fēng looked back up as Katsumi ran after her mother then vanishing out of the cave altogether. Now alone with her thoughts, the lieutenant bitterly scoffed.
“You have nothing to be sorry for, kid…” fully aware no one could hear her.
***
It took practically no time at all for Yoruichi and Katsumi to reach the Shihouin Manor. The past year of these training lessons had been a strange blessing in disguise for the Commander of the Punishment Force. Helping Katsumi grow was inadvertently helping her keep up to par too. Yoruichi felt strong, perhaps even stronger than she had been against the Wandenreich. No sense of falling out of grace as she had over a century beforehand.
But aside from her own personal growth, she couldn’t help thinking about Katsumi’s. The jovial little girl holding onto her shoulders, that she watched grow since her birth, might very well become one of the strongest Shinigami in the history of the Soul Society. As Katsumi resumed humming, Yoruichi deliberated on how she stacked up to the foremost powerhouses of the Seireitei.
Zaraki and her father were monsters in their own right, but immense as their power was, it lacked any sort of refinement. Refinement Yoruichi had diligently instilled in her student. Katsumi’s reiatsu reserves likely match that of Captain Unohana herself. And while her Tōgetsu may not be a match to Ryujin Jakka or Kyoka Suigetsu, Katsumi’s creativity may yet change that still. But the scariest part was how fast she was progressing. A 10 year old girl had already outclassed the entire Shino academy, mastering Shunpo techniques, Hakuda and Zanjutsu that even took time for Yoruichi to learn. And it was only a matter of time until she learned Shunko… and Bankai.
But that train of thought would have to wait until, at least until after the meeting.
Landing in the courtyard, Yoruichi kneeled down to let Katsumi off before going inside. Apparently, her daughter had energy to spare, bolting off into the foyer with no trouble at all. Where she would bump into another member of her house.
“UNCLE YUSHIRO!” Yoruichi heard Katsumi scream, followed by a loud crash.
The Lady of the Manor rushed inside to investigate the ruckus, only to find Katsumi prancing around a half conscious Yushiro.
“Sister! You’Re BacK!” her little brother managed to say, “HoW diD tHe traINInG gO?”
“Wonderfully, Little brother.” Yoruichi chuckled, “Our little Katsumi will be a Shinigami in no time.”
“tHAT’s gREAT!!”
“Say, Yushiro? Do you mind keeping her company while I attend this Captain’s meeting? I’d rather not have Shinji make comments about me being tardy.”
Unable to speak anymore thanks to the knee to the head courtesy of his niece, but was able to give a thumbs up. Much to his dismay and Katsumi’s delight. So while their retainers iced Yushiro’s head and cleaned up yet another broken vase, Yoruichi went to her room to switch into her more formal Captain’s attire. The baggy sleeves of her Shihakusho and Haori always bothered her, hence why she wore them so little. And already dreading the likely boring proceedings ahead of her, she made her way to the front door.
Yoruichi stood by the foyer, hands tucked in her sleeves as she called out, “Katsumi! I’m leaving now!”
“Coming!”
The voice started off faint but then materialized along Katsumi, who Flash Stepped into view. Without a second to spare, Katsumi leaped into her mother’s open arms, embracing her as tightly as her arms would allow.
“I’ll be home soon, Okay? Don’t burn the house.” Yoruichi joked lovingly.
“No promises.”
“Love you.”
“Love you, too.”
One tender kiss to the cheek later and Yoruichi was off, while Katsumi disappeared back into the Manor.
*** Yoruichi soared above the Seireitei, feeling the wind and crisp air flow through uniform. The Shinigami very nearly forgot how beautiful the afternoons were here, particularly from such a vantage point. But alas, she drew her gaze towards the first division barracks; her destination.
The flash goddess nimbly landed upon one of the railings, much to the shock of one Renji Abarai; the shock of her arrival almost made him spill his tea. With a second to catch his breath, he watched as Yoruichi coyly leaned against the very same railing.
“Hey, Renji. Rukia around?”
“Do you always have to appear out of nowhere? And yes, she’s already inside.” Renji griped.
“Lovely. C’mon, before she starts complaining.”
The lieutenant of squad 6 lazily followed his old friend inside, but not before rolling his eyes at her disregard for protocol. Even though she’d been reinstated as Captain of Squad 2 and had been for a decade now, Yoruichi still felt alien walking through the old halls of the first division. As did Renji; it was rare for lieutenants to accompany their captains to such meetings, let alone now, given meetings barely happened at all. The pair walked in silence, until Renji piped up with a pressing question of his.
“Do you know what this meeting is for?” Renji suddenly asked.
“Well, One thing is the exoneration of Kisuke and his reinstatement if that succeeds but I’m not aware of anything else.” Yoruichi explained.
“Is that right? Think they’ll give him back his position as Captain?”
“I don’t know… It’s possible but I don’t see Kurotsuchi taking that lying down.”
A shiver ran down both their spines; Mayuri was more than capable of making cockroaches uncomfortable. He was a genius, no doubt about it, but… the lines he’s willing to cross for his own ends. The otherwise emotionally inept Renji saw Yoruichi’s shoulders tense with the mention of Kisuke. A sharp exhale through his nose prompted the Lady to prod for an answer.
“What are you snorting about?”
“It’s nothing. Just never seen you flustered about anything before. But to think it would about Kisuke of all people.” Renji leered, very much enjoying being on the opposite end of teasing.
Although a quick jab to his ribs changed his tune just as quickly.
“His banishment was unjust. I’m thankful that others are beginning to see that now…” Yoruichi explained, failing to conceal a smile on the edge of her lips.
The pair made their way through the winding corridors to the Main Hall, avoiding the gawking of unranked Squad members. Renji, still rubbing his side, was glad to see Yoruichi in such high spirits, given the cruel and often unforgiving nature of the Soul Society.
They reached the entryway to hear the resonant chatter of the other Officers. Most were accounted for; Squads One through Eleven were present, though Rukia was noticeably missing from the roster. Odd, Yoruichi thought to herself but whatever. Yoruichi took her place amongst the rows, beside Byakuya and Toshiro. It was then Head-Captain Kyoraku appeared before the rest of his cohorts, lax as he always was.
“Thank you all for gathering here in such a timely fashion,” Shunsui began, “I’m sure most of the Captains here are aware of the reason for this meeting: the exoneration of one Kisuke Urahara. But before that matter, It’s my honor to introduce the new Captain of Squad 13:  Rukia Kuchiki.”
The room filled with officers erupted in shock and surprise as Rukia entered the room, though not yet in an official Haori. Yoruichi and Renji stared at one another in disbelief; somehow she neglected to tell them either of them her ploy.
“Now today is not her official promotion, but as witnessed by myself, Captain Kuchiki and Captain Kotetsu, Rukia has completed the Captain’s Proficiency Test. So a big round of applause to our dear Rukia.”
Isane did not meet Yoruichi’s piercing stare, nor did Rukia. Rukia only mouthed a single word to her confidant and husband.
Surprise.

Love of my Life
Hey guys!! This is the third chapter of my series. Ypu can read it on wattpad too! Enjoy 💞😉
Pheromones
Amelia's PoV:
I have to give Link some credit. He really knows what he's doing in the bedroom. I can safely say that he's the best I've ever had. But he can't know that. Male ego, you know. As far as I've come to know him, he'll start floating ;) Even Owen wasn't ever able to bring about that kind of a reaction from me even after the many years we were together which Link was able to do in just a SINGLE NIGHT !!
I have to say I'm quite surprised.
The amazing sex helped my mood quite a lot. All of the sadness and despair just vanished in thin air with his touch. So far I've been able to successfully avoid him. It's been two days since the conference in San Diego and still I just cannot take him off my mind. I've just seen him around the hospital once or twice. I actively run away whenever I see him. I just dash in the opposite direction. I make sure he doesn't see me. Just one look in his direction brings back all the memories of that night. I just know it in my soul that my self resolve will break and I will jump his bones as soon as I see his muscular arms, his full lips which seem to draw me in unintentionally, his soft eyes, his ton...STOP!! UGGHH!! I'll kill him. I can't even think straight. Ufff.
Maggie has recently introduced three rooms in the hospital as part of her research. I personally like the Blue and Green rooms more. They seem to have a calming effect on me, the green one more than the blue one but it's fine.
Link's PoV:
I've never experienced this feeling before. Not to brag but I'm accustomed with women throwing themselves at me and not the other way around. This woman has been haunting my dreams since the moment I laid eyes on her. I find my eyes searching for her even though she's not in the room. It's been two days since I've seen her. I really think she's avoiding me. I've caught glimpses of her in the hospital but as soon as I reach there, phuushh she's vanished. Ughh. I know she said it'll be a ' one- time thing ' but I just don't want to lose a friend like her. Maybe hopefully in the future things might be different but at least now just being her friend will be enough.
When I heard that Dr. Pierce has introduced three 'mood rooms' , I have to say my interest was piqued. I decide to check those rooms out. Maybe I'll even find her sister in the process, you never know right? ;)
Currently, Maggie and Amelia are sitting in the Blue Room finally having a much needed 'Sister Moment'. Maggie is telling Amelia how the Blue Room works. She wants Amelia to feel better as she knows how she had been recently. If only she could strangle that ginger man and the mother of his child for time and again hurting her beloved sister. Her whole life she had been a single child and now that she has been gifted with two amzaing sisters, she finally understood that she had needed them all along and can't help but feel fiercely protective towards them. No one can hurt them on her watch, she'll make sure of that. She loved them too much to see them hurt.
So here they are in the Blue Room, Maggie trying to uplift Amelia's mood that had been somber for a few days. If only she knew about the conference....
The room has definitely made Amelia curious. She wants to know what this room does. While languidly spinning in her chair, Amelia asks, " Sooo, blue light lowers blood pressure? "
"Significantly. And some studies even suggest that it could even improve your mood." Maggie wants to help Amelia in any way she possibly can and adds, "Well I'm not saying that it's a cure all or anything but you might wanna spend some time...", she trails off after turning her and noticing that she most definitely has lost her audience. Amelia is in her own world lazily spinning in her chair thinking God knows about what. Maggie is surprised to see Amelia in such a good mood after all the Love Triangle fiasco.
She curiously asks Amelia when she sees that she has yet not gained her attention, " Okay the room doesn't work thaaatt fast. I deserve an award if it did but...what's going on? " she smiles looking at her happy expression.
"Nothing" is her only reply. Since when did AMELIA of all people become a woman of a few words? Huh, astonishing.
Maggie probes further, " Nothing?? I can't believe it 'cause the last time I saw you there was a fair amount of crying and absolutely zero chair spinning. So spill, sister."
Finally getting her to answer, " Fine. I might have had some insanely good sex at the conference in San Diego " she says while stretching lazily.
Shock is written all over Maggie's face. How can her sister have sex with a stranger at a complete unknown place? She sometimes just cannot believe Amelia. Many a times Amelia's antics force Maggie to question Tom Koracick's surgical skills. Did that arrogant man leave a part of her tumor behind in her sometimes highly illogical brain? Guess she'll never know.
Chuckling nervously she asks, " Wait, WHAT? You had insane sex with a complete stranger in San Diego? I knew you should not be left alone. I definitely should've gone with you!! Ugghh "
" Hey!! That's mean." Amelia laughs. " By the way, it was not insane sex, it was insanely good sex. And not with a complete stranger. It helped my mood a lot more than your precious Blue Rooom" she sings trying to get under Maggie's skin.
" Oooh, so like a rebound !! "
" More like muscle-bound ", both laugh.
Link's PoV:
I just checked out The Game Room, I realised it can be useful for my patients who have trouble doing PT. Games are a form of PT only. I have to keep that in mind. The Plant Room was actually soothing. I really liked it. Only the Blue Room is left now. I step towards the room when all of a sudden I hear giggling inside the room. I immediately recognize the voice. Amelia!! Finally I found her. I enter the room with a grin on my face, " Knock knock..."
Meanwhile in the Blue Room:
The door suddenly opens to reveal none other than Link, " Knock knock...", he says with a goofy grin on his face. Ugh that mouth!! Ehhhh. What do I do now? I can't even run away! Thank God there's Maggie here.
Link's grin is replaced with a nervous smile as soon as he spots Maggie sitting on the other chair.
" Oh hey. Dr. Pierce!! ". He's just standing there like a dumb person nervously looking between the two when he suddenly recalls Dr. Pierce's email. Now there's a topic.
" Dr. Pierce I took a look at your sternal reconstruction thing and emailed you some thoughts.", all the while avoiding eye contact with Amelia because he knows as soon as he'll look into her eyes, his smile will give away their secret.
" Sorry it took me so long. I was at a conference in San Diego.", Link says, subtly glancing at Amelia's way.
Amelia's eyes widened at his slip up and she jerks her head towards Maggie. " Oooh ", is her reply. Amelia can practically see the dots connecting in Maggie's head. Her back straightens and she moves towards Link quietly scrutinizing him, silently letting him know that she's aware of their shenanigans. Maggie then looks at Amelia with humor and playfulness in her eyes and then looks at Link.
Link gets extremely uncomfortable under Maggie's scrutiny. He chances looking at Amelia to see her reaction but her head his down in embarrassment and she is trying her best to avoid eye contact with either of them. Oh shit Maggie knows!! Link then goes on to ramble, " Umm, nice room...very blue. Uhhh it's very cool", chuckling humorlessly. He quickly acknowledges Amelia's presence in the room, nodding in her direction, " Dr. Shepherd " and leaves hurriedly.
Oh my God that was awkward.
Maggie swiftly turns towards Amelia judging her slightly, " OH MY GOD!! "
Amelia tries to redeem herself by justifying her actions, " It was a one-time thing!! That is it. I just needed some pain management." Amelia then nervously rambles to escape Maggie's questions, "Does this room change colours? Does it do pink? "
Maggie just looks at her smugly, " Didn't I ask you to totally hit that Ortho God in the beginning? Okay so now you realise I was right all along? Heh? Ohh, this is so great. And to answer your question, no it doesn't do pink", she laughs with mirth.
"Oh shut up Maggie. I have a surgery. Bye ". She quickly leaves to avoid Maggie's further questioning and the look of smugness on her face. Yeah yeah yeah she was right. But I can't just say it to her face. She won't let me see the end of the day with her boasting then. I'll just kill Link. It's all HIS fault!! Why did he tell Maggie he was in San Diego? Where is that gorgeous, no wait, scratch that, stupid man?
Maggie can't contain her joy. She is exultant. I have to tell Meredith! I just don't understand why these two stupid sisters of mine don't acknowledge the fact that I'm the smartest and the most intelligent of them all? On top of that, I'm always right. Heh heh heh. Look in Amelia's case, I just knew Link is right for her. I guess I'm the most sane sister in The Sister Lafy Chiefs or The Lady Chief Trifecta...whatever it is that Amelia likes to call it. With a smug look on her face she leaves to search for Jackson.
Amelia gets paged in the pit. She bumps into Link on her way and corners him with accusations.
Link leans down slightly to hear her better as she is whispering and her body is too small and petite in comparison to his tall, muscular figure. He is smiling at her when she says, " I thought we agreed we weren't gonna tell people? "
" Yeah we did" , he looks at her quizzically.
" Why did you tell Maggie you were in San Diego? " Is she blaming me? He can't help but smile at her restlessness.
" Cause I was. At a conference ", he slightly raises his eyebrows.
" Yeah but I told her I had sex at a conference. She obviously connected the dots! "
" No no no, wait. Hold up. So you told her about the sex but I'm in trouble for mentioning the location?!", he teases her. Amelia realizes how unreasonable and ridiculous she sounds.
That teasing gleam in his eye is distracting her. She starts walking away and says, " Okay. Can I just reiterate that it was a one-time thing. It was..."
" Pain management like you said ", he says in a sing-song voice, completing for her.
" There's more to it. For acute pain, not a chronic. One dose. Do not refill ". She stops. Wait. That sounded really really wrong. " Ew. Sorry ".
Link laughs at the unintentional innuendo. That woman is too damn funny sometimes.
She again quickly walks further away from him. He follows her. " I think to be safe, we need to steer clear of each other for a while."
Link panics. How much longer does she want to avoid me? Why? " You have already managed to successfully avoid me for 2 days. Did that help? "
He asks incredulously, " You really think that's necessary? "
" I do. Because...", she trails off and turns towards him. Her eyes slightly glaze over and she stares at his muscular arms and sturdy chest, her mind obviously in the gutter while saying, "...pheromones"
Her answer somewhat shocks Link but he obviously notices Amelia staring at his chest whilst speaking. He then decides to mess with her a little and steps closer to her, " What about them? ", he says with a teasing grin.
She takes a while to answer, still looking at him.
" I really like yours " , she says straightforwardly. Ooh I like women who know what they like.
" Okay then. I'll avoid you completely ", he whispers seductively. Amelia stares at him a second longer, nods and then turns around sharply. She thinks, I have successfully managed to embarrass myself twice in less than 15 minutes. What is the matter with me today?!
" You paged? ", both simultaneously question Richard entering Trauma Room 2. Both of them look at each with surprise. Link has a very happy and teasing grin on his face. Amelia is a different story. She just wants to run away from there. How will I survive this day around him? I know I'll jump his bones before this day ends if he keeps looking at me like that!!  She has a shocked expression on her face.
Both of them now put their game faces on and examine the patient. But the whole while Amelia keeps bumping into Link. Is he doing this purposely? He just knows I cannot resist. Ughh I don't like him at all!
Link is just having a blast. He finally came to a conclusion that the patient needed and MRI stat.
He informed the orderlies, " I'd like to take her for an MRI". He realised that he was not the only one saying this sentence. He turned towards her to realise that she had said the exact same words as him at the exact sa.e time. He smiled at her in a flirting way and she got extremely flustered and turned her head away softly whispering. " Oh God ". Thi bwas going to be an interesting case.
In the Scan Room:
They are waiting for the scans to come up. Amelia is sitting on the chair with Link leaning on the wall behind her. Both of them are painfully aware of each other's presence but don't say anything. Link gets tired of the wait and rests his hand on the armrest of Amelia's chair. Amelia glances at his hand and sharply turns away her head recalling all the beautiful things his hands are capable of doing. She blushed fiercely and quickly whispered, " I have to get off this case."
Link obviously understood why Anelia said what she said and smirked. Before he could say anything, the scans were up. They were disastrous. The patient was at an increasing risk of paralysis if they didn't do anything soon. They agreed that the patient needed both of their surgical skills and put aside their feelings and teasing for a few hours.
In the OR :
It would be an understatement to say that Link was impressed by Amelia's surgical skills. She had precision, stable hands, perfection, calmness, confidence and she knew exactly what the patient needed. This made her even more attractive to him.
He complimented her surgical skill and engaged in light flirting with her. He noticed her obvious smile behind her surgical mask which reached her eyes making her eyes gleam in a very captivating way. For a second there, they got lost in each other's eyes and seemed to forget that there was a patient open on their table. They quickly recovered and the surgery was going really well.
Suddenly a nurse informed them that the patient just lost motor signals in all of her extremities. Both the surgeons looked at each other in panic, double-checking their work but they had yet to make any mistake. What had happened?! Did they do something wrong? But we were nowhere near those nerves!! In the end, the patient ended up quadriplegic.
Both of them were deeply disappointed and disheartened. They were continuously thinking what had gone wrong there? Both came up with nothing. Amelia was more bothered by the surgery and was devastated. She quickly disappeared after updating the patient and her daughter about the outcome of the surgery. Link was worried for her. Where did she go? He was feeling oddly protective towards her and wanted to take away her pain. He wanted to comfort her and quickly found her in the only place he knew she'd be at the moment.  The Blue Room.
He silently entered the room to find Amelia leaning on the wall dejectedly. He closed the door and leaned opposite to her, near the door. She noticed him and walked in his direction. Link saw her sad expression and wanted to wipe that expression off her face. When she came face-to-face with him, he clasped her hands in his and held on to them tightly.  Amelia freed her left hand from his grasp and locked the door quickly. She then held his hand tighter and started leaning towards his lips.
He quickly understood what she needed. He could really use some pain management himself. When their lips finally touched, the failure of today quickly relieved their body and the whole world seemed to just vanish until there were only the two of them holding each other. The kiss soon became heated and Link let go of her hands to wrap his arms tightly around her slim waist. He swiftly glided his hands up her back, one rested just above her hip and the other just below her shoulders eliciting a long moan from her.
She quickly wrapped one hand around his neck to deepen the kiss and the other hand held onto his arm for dear life. Her knees grew wobbly. Link pressed her body to his until there was no space left. Amelia could not even describe this exhilarating feeling. He changed their positions so that she was now pinned  to the door by his sturdy chest. They continued kissing desperately. She slowly started backing him towards one of the chairs until he was sitting. He pulled her to him, deeply aroused, until she straddled his lap. The were sitting chest to chest vigorously kissing in the Blue Room taking away each other's pain. They stayed there taking away each other's pain until there was no hurt left and laid there in each other's arms in peaceful silence for the long night.
