The Recoding of The Bureau is Finished
Iâm done recoding the game. All in all, it was honestly about what I expected to be slimmed off once I got a good look at some of the scenes. As I expected, 90% of that were from the first 3 chapters. I am a mix of emotions after arduously spending hours upon hours replacing gender variables one at a time by hand. Which unfortunately, I couldnât think of another way for doing it, because all of the characters were using the same gender variables instead of independent ones for each character.
Iâm relieved itâs done. Disappointed in myself that I had to do it at all. Irritated that some people decided to put the game on blast for it rather than give actionable suggestions on how to fix it. Excited to finally be able to continue writing both the extra scenes that need to be written and the main story. I honestly donât know which one Iâm going to continue with first.
Please leave feedback.
There are still no doubt one or two spots with maybe 1-2k words each that could be slimmed down, but that would require a lot of work for very little payoff. So yes, Iâm comfortable saying, the game is almost 400k words long in total. 85k words per playthrough. Thatâs not including the extra scenes in the stats screen, because randomtest doesnât go in the stats screen (to my knowledge at least, someone can correct me if Iâm wrong). So you still have to play the game roughly 5 times and choose different choices to see everything it has to offer.
Is the game smaller? A bit, yeah. Is it 100-150k? Itâs more than double that.
Now, that doesnât say anything for the state of some of the writing. If I have to read someone nodding, or smiling, or âslightlyâ, âa bitâ, or âa littleâ something in my own work again, Iâm gonna jump out a window. Obviously, back when I started writing this, I was very much influenced by Wayhaven. Iâve since grown out of that idea. Since the game has taken on an identity of its own, and while I will forever be grateful to that series and continue to support it, thereâs gonna be some changes in the final version of this game. Less of what I said above, less ellipses, and the flirting (especially in the beginning) will seem much more down to earth and believable for the setting itâs in, with a bit of wiggle room since this is still very much a YA game.
Please leave feedback.
The rewrite will not be happening until the first draft of the game is fully finished. I refuse to get stuck in a rewrite phase, mostly because I would just find it way too boring.
My patreon will continue to have static fiction on it, as well as sneak peeks into upcoming stuff. In case youâve been missing it, Love In Stasis is up to Chapter 6 at this point, with more to come. Iâm also thinking about potentially starting a horror static fiction.
Iâll be relying on people to playtest this new version of the game to tell me about any continuity errors, and gender errors, any anything errors. So please, play the demo. Let me know if you notice anything. I think if Iâve proved anything at this point, itâs that I act and fix things based on feedback.
And pettiness.
But mostly feedback.
Please leave feedback.
Last thing Iâll say; Iâm gonna stop saying Iâm bad at coding. Someone whoâs bad at coding wouldnât have been able to implement the text boxes and fine tune them. Someone whoâs bad at coding wouldnât have been able to code Golden Eyes. Someone whoâs bad at coding wouldnât have been able to slim down the game that much from where it was. So itâs time I give myself the credit of someone who at least knows what theyâre doing. Iâm not adept at it, but Iâm certainly not bad at it either.
Iâm still expecting the game to end up over 500k words when all is said and done. It will not be one million words, but Iâm actually kind of happy about that. This is proof Iâm still working on this game, and the next time it updates, it will have new content. Thanks for those that are patient and stick around, your support does still genuinely mean a lot.
Please leave feedback.
Stay Brilliant,
-Vi
P.S. Please leave feedback.

I do worry if I get the job im applying for Iâll ârelapseâ or âslip backâ or what have you. Because if I get the job I will 100% have the money to get blackout drunk 7 days a week and from my vantage point right here I will take it. It takes a great deal of sacrifice and suffering for me to skip a day or even get less drunk than usual and with the whole âhaving a job and being more physically and emotionally drainedâ Iâm almost certainly gonna drink more to cope. I dunno.
#luke.txt#drunkposting#i am perfectly capable of doing school hungover so I assume that will apply for work too#and either way the mall opens at 10 am which is SUPER LATE for a hangover to still be at its nastiest#I do worry about the fact the mall closes at 9#and if I get home at 9:30 from work at 9#I wonât have med time to get drunk#which I will almost certainly NEED after work#so either I say sorry I canât close Fucking Ever and risk not getting hired because of that#or I suffer in the torture labyrinth#god. god god god.#I do have days of the week ranked most to least good days to get drunk#taking my probable work hours in mind#but who knows! who knows#I need this job so bad holy shit#I donât CARE if itâs $10.85 an hour! 1 shift buys a weeks worth of vodka!!!âŒïž

And thus, with the passing of 24 hours, Caeru's ambition truly comes to an end. Major Nemesis spoilers below the cut- we're talking endgame ambition business here. Mostly on a character RP front.
The Doomed Scientist made quite a few... choice decisions, in the end. Killing Cups once and for all, recording his story as one of grief-
And sparing what little remained of Mr Mirrors, leaving it free to roam Parabola as it sees fit.
Some of them, he can explain. Others, he's still left to feel... discontent.
Cups needed to die. That much was certain from the start. It was a tyrant, as all Masters are, and complicit in the bargaining and eventual destruction of four (potentially five) cities, as all Masters are. It was an obstacle. A murderer. A petty monster that felt no remorse even on its deathbed, and it went out of its way to ruin multiple lives just because it felt owed its own sick and twisted idea of revenge.
It killed his first love. It looked him in the eyes and he knew what it had done and he knew from the start it was going to die.
Perhaps, in the end, it knew too. And yet it still pleaded, and wanted to live, and-
It made a bargain.
A bargain Caeru didn't take.
Not because he didn't want to. Gods, he wanted to. He wanted it. He wanted it more than anything else in the world. To have Greylu back, to give him the gift of life, of love, to show him the wonders of the Neath and the beauty of the correspondence and all of the people Caeru has met and loved and found home with along the way-
But. He couldn't.
Because Cups was a monster. And no matter what, it deserved to die. And he could not, in good conscience, allow it to live.
Even if sparing it meant everything he's ever wanted.
So he's left here, now. With a bloodied traveling coat, and a bloodsoaked knife, and a favor finally fulfilled.
And nothing to live for. No resurrected lover, no charming visits to Helicon, no slow dances in the living room, no memories to rebuild and lives to live and he won't live again-
Nothing. All he has is a coat born of obligation, not to his love, but to people he's never even met. To lives he's never even touched. To a paramour, still alive, with hair of rose-pink, who doesn't even remember her own brother's existence.
Cups didn't die for Caeru's sake. Cups died for the sake of all who wanted it dead. For the revenger's court, and the ghost screaming in his ear, and the reckoning that will not be postponed indefinitely.
And Caeru, who acted as a tool to carry out their wills? Who all but betrayed his own lover, just to satisfy a cause he never knew existed?
All Caeru is left with, is regret. Regret-
-And grief.
#yin-thoughts#fallen london#fallen london spoilers#nemesis spoilers#so! nemesis huh!#i have. a lot of thoughts#overall i think heart's desire remains closest to my heart#but that's almost certainly bc of the obvious ''you always remember your first'' bias#there's a lot of problems with nemesis that have been talked to death by other people way more eloquently than i could ever express#(the big notable stopgates littered throughout. the weird pacing at the end. the fact you never meet your actual nemesis til the finale)#but overall i still liked it a lot!! i loved it actually!!! it singlehandedly made me like cups as a master!!!!#not because of anything nemesis actually DID mind you. i just really liked making up things about it#in place of nemesis. actually featuring it.#which could either be a plus or a minus against the ambition depending on what angle you look at it from#but. yeah. i'd say i enjoyed it. i enjoyed it a whole bunch#and now that ive played 2 out of the 4 ambitions and my FL hyperfixation evidently isnt letting up#it's safe to say we're all here for the long haul#tune in (insert miscellaneous time in the future) for when i finally after like a year and a quarter#get to find out what the fuck truly goes down in light fingers#and also keep an eye out for that caeru-centric fic ive been unsubtly alluding to and still need to write.#ive got a whole outline for it and it's. well#you'll all see when (if?) i finish it#i have some ideas abt how i wanna play around with the nemesis endings + what they mean to caeru#(and i do mean endings as in both of them)#and it all may seem. insane. when we get there#but i swear i have a direction plotted in my head#i swear#scoundrelventures#<- the scoundrel isnt mentioned At All in this post but that works as a general FL oc lore tag

Despite all odds, I have arrived home safelyđ
Turns out that the earlier goop was the better goop. The adderall goop. The adderall has worn off now though. So I am. Very incredibly out of it.
But I am home. And I will take my quick shower. And then I will climb into bed.
I do need to eat. But... later...
#speculation nation#im the special kind of tired where im more tired than hungry#which is to say my every cell is yelling at me to get some fucking sleep.#and i dont think id be much more successful at eating rn than i was this morning.#i ate. half a can of chef boyardee. which was half bc i was so focused on typing and half bc i could barely stomach it.#so i at least ate Something. but not as much as normal.#i did have an ensure in the middle of the day. so theres some nutrients too at least.#i'll eat after i get a few hours of sleep. when the edge is no longer so desperate.#and hopefully i'll be able to stomach things better then.#honestly have all nighters always been this hard or am i just getting older? i havent actually pulled an all nighter since uhhh#well there was kind of one on dead dad day. but that day sucked just in general.#last time i think was april '23 when i read t.rimax volume 9-14 within a 24 hour period while also finishing a final presentation.#even then tho i got like 2 hours of sleep. it was still pretty rough though.#like ok i guess those times were pretty awful and also i did get at least some sleep. which is more than today.#so it makes sense for me to be in worse shape rn. i also didnt get as much sleep the night before last as i wanted to#i got... ...maybe 4 hours sleep??? ummm. which isnt a good thing actuslly. no wonder im so fucking exhausted.#i can barely type right now i will be honest. it was so hard to bike home. it took all my focus to not drive off a bridge#or get pushed into traffic by wind. oh boy the wind sure did try.#then i almost tripped down the stairs at my apartment after grabbing the mail bc i Briefly was focused on my mail đ#barely present. total mess. but at least im home. and i already did all the thinking i need to do today.#i was brave. i perservered. i was tempted to give up around 6 am ish but i was like No. this is getting done TODAY.#so i did it. i turned it in. and i so bravely did my in class work for my 2nd class. even though i was so mentally not present the whole way#i did my thinking... i am home... rest soon.#actually its kind of funny im lying on my couch rn and i think if most other ppl were in my current state theyd fall asleep right here.#but the power of my insomnia is so. powerful. i am not at risk of falling asleep without meaning to.#only time thats ever actually happened are like. a handful of times i was like. the most tired ive ever been in my life. etc etc.#in fact idk how well i'll be able to fall asleep for my nap. i certainly couldnt last night despite how hard i tried.#hopefully this time... i am truly tired enough....pls i need to rest i am so tired đđđđđđđđđ

the middle school principal wants to hire me in a full-time position so bad.
and who can blame him? i'm that substitute đ
#he outright asked me today if i'd be interested in being a para and i told him i'm taking in-person classes right now for school#on tuesdays and thursdays so i can't do that#it's certainly something i have in my mind as a possibility#and frankly. i LIKE school like i like taking classes but in a very real sense. i prefer working#i'm a lot more comfortable working as a sub now than i was a year/year and a half ago#even on days where i get tossed around a lot like today it's like yeah whatever. i can adapt#especially if it's at the middle school as opposed to the high school#the high school... it sucks. in some ways. i don't hate going there but the admin is.... eeeugh#actually the whole district admin has some problems but the middle school admin is very bearable#tales from diana#i do turn 26 this year though and i'm gonna need health insurance. i've been very aware of that too in the time i've been subbing#yeah i like taking classes it's just hard to explain why i'm not like in the swing of things#ive never worked this many hours while taking in-person classes before at the same time#and the days i sub i have to get up earlier which is a bitch but it's so. like. yeah whatever i can do that#the largesse of a college campus is so strange to me after having taken a 2-year pause in my education#not to mention the commute which is long on both sides of the day#i dont actually wake up THAT much earlier to go to my class it's only like 90 minutes extra sleep anyway#when i sub i'm almost immediately *doing something* in my day. college is a lot of wandering and waiting around#the lack of business that i feel compared to being in a public middle or high school makes the day somehow no less weary for me#i hope i get more used to it i guess#i'm still not used to my new 5-day schedule of babysitting/class/subbing/class/subbing#every friday no longer feels like a friday and it's super odd to me#like it's delightful to be reminded that it's friday but i don't feel at all like it's even been 1 week#idk. yeah. everything's different now

winter weight (nanami ver)
Synopsis: nanami has gained some weight this winter, it seems you don't mind.
based on this fanfic I wrote for Toji which was based on this fanart! thank you @lil-sis for requesting more nanami :,)
ă°ă»âĄă»ă°ă°ă»âĄă»ă°ă°ă»âĄă»ă°ă°ă»âĄă»ă°ă°ă»âĄă»ă°
You had known Nanami Kento for years before you were romantically involved. He had never made an inappropriate comment, always treated you with the utmost respect, and was all-around, the truest form of a gentleman.
For a time, you locked away your feelings for the kind man, sure he could never see you in that way, but little did you know, the man in question hid from your gaze, not because he did not want to see you, but in fear that you would see him. See him for what he was: a man, obsessed.
You had been with Ken for nine months now and he was everything you could want and more. He was communicative, thoughtful, and romantic. He looked at you in a way nobody had before. Likewise, for you, those nine months passed with comfortable ease.
This was your first winter together, and with the changing of the seasons you learned day by day that the man you knew was your life partner. The both of you were homebodies in a sense, however, with the chilly air and light snowfall this week, you were even more keen on a night in together.
You raced around the house, lighting candles, simmering mulling spices on the stove, and laying out blankets for the two of you. The house felt even cozier knowing that Ken was coming to join you.
He had spent the afternoon with his parents and was coming over after having dinner, he told you to eat without him and you had just finished cleaning your plate when you received a text,
"I am on my way now, sweetheart, is there anything you would like from the store?"
Ken was like this, domestic in the way that made you want to bounce around the room. You thought for a moment before deciding you would probably need more eggs. Earlier this week the two of you had planned a movie night, the next morning you were both hoping to bake cookies together while playing board games or taking turns reading to one another.
You informed him of the need for eggs and he told you he would be just a few more minutes. During that time you scrolled through the choices of movies, picking a few for the two of you to choose from.
Despite being together longer than the gestational period for a baby human, you still received butterflies in your stomach at the thought of his arrival. Knowing he was nearly home, you bounded to the kitchen and faced the door, the room smelled delicious, the only thing missing was his presence, and perhaps another layer of clothing.
Even so, you could hear his footsteps approach and knew that the two of you would share a blanket and body heat in no time.
When the man finally opened the door he was smiling shyly, a red dusting across his face from the cold. He wore a long winter coat, and in his arms were a bouquet of flowers and a wrapped gift.
You rushed to greet him, taking the day bag from his arm,
"Oh! Ken, they're beautiful!" You stood on tiptoe as he bent his knee and you kissed his cold cheek. "Goodness, you're freezing! Come in please!"
"Hello, my love." He smiled more broadly now, wrapping his free arm around you, "This if from my parents, but they told me not to let you open it until the holidays."
A warmth ran through you, the Nanami's were all too kind. Kento set the flowers on the counter and stepped toward the coat rack by the door to retire his shoes and jacket.
In the motion it took for him to pull the sleeves off his broad shoulders, you took him in. Leaning on the kitchen counter you allowed yourself to stare at him. His dress shirt was tight on his arms, and his suit pants clung to his thighs. You took a step toward him again.
"I almost don't want you to change, you look so handsome in your work clothes."
"Well, I've certainly put on some weight. These pants hardly fit now." he looks increasingly uncomfortable, not to be in your presence but to show that he was dressed in such a tailored fashion.
"Ken, my dear, you look incredible." You contain the desire to squeeze his thigh by walking to the bedroom and bringing out a pair of sweats and a cotton shirt.
"Although you are a delight to see this way, I'll let you get comfortable." You smile and pinch his bicep.
"Thank you, dear, I don't believe I've ever been so heavy. It's all the good restaurants you introduce me to, perhaps I should get back into the gym." He had grabbed the soft clothes you picked for him and walked into the bedroom to change.
"You're the one bringing me to all those good restaurants so you can't just blame me." You smile from outside the door.
"I'm just grateful you're with me" He laughs, pulling the shirt over his head.
"Ugh!" You exclaim, "Of course, Ken, don't say something so ridiculous." He laughs but you are still caught on what he said earlier. "And don't start going to the gym, you look great, very chewable."
He pops out from behind the door and looks down at you, amused. "I'm not sure how to feel about that descriptor, but if you still like me with extra weight, then I suppose I can remain comfortable."
"Still like you?" You gasp offended, "Ken, I grow more attracted to you every day, I don't care how tight your clothes are, in fact, it's a good look."
He gives you a mischievous face, "Go sit on the couch, pick a movie, stop trying to seduce me."
You laugh, incredulous, "I'm not trying anything, I'm only speaking the truth." You shrug, bounding to the couch and crawling beneath the blanket. Ken brings two mugs of cider before joining you.
That night you lay on his chest, watching a cheesy romance, the both of you laughing at the silly main character. You tilt your head up, to watch his face, your eyes catching the beginning of a few grey hairs dispersed in his blonde hair. You gently run your hand through his undercut.
In that moment, in his arms, as comfortable as you've ever been, you are sure, he is the man you will grow old with.

URGES â gojo satoru
MDNI, pregnancy freak!satoru, f!reader, established relationship (married), reader is pregnant, public sex (in the train, but itâs just the tip), reader is going through hormonal changes that cause a very high sex drive + wears a dress, unprotected sex, pet names (sweetness), wc: 1.3k, dividers by @/cafekitsune
a/n: i implemented the ideas suggested by @/tapiocakisses & @/cherriel0v3r into this drabble, big thank you <3
Satoru adores every bit about your pregnancy.
Certainly, his favorite thing about it is the baby bump that had slowly started forming â all because it is the most unambiguous sign that you belong to someone.
Surely, he also likes to put his hands on your belly. He places them on top when you sit together, rubs it softly, or gently shields it with his palm as you walk down the street while his other hand firmly sits at the small of your back â after all, this is the most unambiguous sign that you belonged to him, because not just any man would walk around touching a pregnant woman like that.
Not just any man, but the father himself.
But recently, there is another aspect of your pregnancy that he had grown extremely fond of â almost addicted, in fact, to the point he thinks he wonât be able to live any other way once this âside effectâ subsides.
High sex driveâŠ
âŠwhich comes as a result of increased hormonal shifts in your body, causing an abysmal spike in your libido. Thus meaning, you keep him quite busy.
These arousal outbursts occur at random times of the day, and Satoru is always ready to deliver â even if it means making regular stops at home during work hours (a few times a day) or ending a mission in an abrupt and brutal manner (unnecessary hollow purpling curses left and right that otherwise couldâve been handled with less effort).
It is all for a good cause â he needs to take care of his pregnant wife.
Sometimes youâd wake him up in the middle of the night, pawing at his cock, sweetly and innocently asking him to fuck you.
The blood has never rushed faster to his groin before. In all honesty, those are the times he struggles with his self-restraint because you drive him absolutely nuts with a single word, and the fact that you need him this bad, so bad that youâre already wet down there between your legs â and he can smell it, so bad that you wake him up rubbing your thighs together asking for his cock because your fingers arenât good enough to reach certain spots⊠messes with his head oh so terribly. If you werenât in this fragile, pregnant state, heâd pin you down nasty and fuck the living hell out of you until you pass out.
He thinks to himself, that once the child is born the first thing heâll do is fuck your brains out in the most obscene of positions that werenât suitable during the pregnancy and take his pent-up frustration from holding back his stroke game out on that pretty cunt of yours. Well, until he knocks you up all over again.
âŠbecause he wants to keep you pregnant and needy for him, all the time.
Until then, heâll fuck you tenderly. Sometimes with just the tipâŠ
âŠas you so happen to be in public â in the train, on your way to visit the zoo during one of his rarely free days, when your urges just so happened to kick in. Again.
Even though, he fucked you good before leaving the house. Pretty sure his cum is still staining the inner of your panties even â the panties that are now slid to the side as youâre backed against one of the corners of the train where itâs relatively secluded, with your husband standing before you holding the hem of your dress up and high enough to access whatâs underneath. His pants undone but still intact around his legs, itâs just the zipper that is down for his cock to be out and the tip prodding in your cunt.
Itâs a good thing that heâs a big man and that his frame can cover the entirety of you once he is in front of you, so that people entering or leaving the wagon wouldnât witness the obscenity beyond him. Fortunately, all they see is the huge, broad back of a tall, well-built man. And, well, a pair of smaller feet that could be spotted through his spread lower limbs, that is, if you looked down.
âShhââ, cupping your cheek with his free hand Satoru quietly hushes you, tracing his index finger over your lips as you squeeze your eyes shut, moving your hips slightly to swallow more of him inside you, and not just the tip. âI donât want other people to hear the sweet noises you make, theyâre for my ears only, okay?â
His finger moves away from your mouth, giving way for his lips to seal them instead. Because he knows that you wonât listen to him. You never do. And he really canât make peace with the possibility of someone catching on to your voice. Not because youâd be busted fucking in broad daylight, inside of a train of all places. But because, that voice you make when his cock is inside you? Itâs really just for him to hear and keep.
âPlease, sweetnessâ just whisper your moans to me, in my ear onlyâ, he mumbles against your lips, just barely breaking the kiss so he could beg for you to keep it down. Growing concerned on what he could possibly do if someone were to actually hear you.
âNghhââ, you pant into him, incoherent. Easier said than done, you think but the words donât make it out. All that is in your mind is how bad you want his cock inside you, all of it. The tip only is doing more damage than any good, teasing you further.
âFuck me for real, âToruâ, you hiss at him, grabbing a chunk of his hair before dragging your nails down his undercut, then down his back, and then lower, and lower, and lower â until you reach his ass. Your hand kneading on it, sneakily luring his hips into you.
He wavers, he really does.
Beads of sweat sliding down his forehead, his bangs damp and sticking on his skin. His cheeks flushed while he breathes in heavy stutters as tremors run up and down his body, causing him to buck himself forward just a tiny bit before he stops himself. Terrified of losing his mind if he goes an inch deeper in you, because then â people would know and unfortunately see you in a state that only he is allowed to see.
His extreme possessiveness of you being the only voice of reason in him right now, no matter how contradicting the present situation is. He wants people to know that he fucks you, but he does not want them to witness it. His wish to be the only one you give yourself to is followed by the desire to be the only witness to how you do it.
âYeah?â, he scoffs, his head falling back for a second then shifting to its previous position. Shortly after his neck cranes down and he nestles his forehead on the nook of your shoulder.
âDo you know what it costs me to stop myself from going all the way in? Do you have any idea how fucking good you feel?â, he laughs in a daze. âPretty sure I just lost about 10 years of my life holding back, so please â please, donât let anyone get to that sweet voiceâ, he pleads through a heavy breath. His voice is really desperate. Like he really is fighting for his life there, trying to keep your voice pristine to his ears only.
âThereâs a cafĂ© three stops awayâ, he continues after he peels his head away from your shoulder and looks at you through half-lidded eyes. âI can give you the rest there â can you be a good girl for me till then?â
You nod.
The zoo visit was clearly off the table now. But in a few more minutes you would be on the bathroom counter â legs spread and a cockful of your husband inside you â getting what you deserve.

Adding some great Romana II outfits from the EU:
Not her best choice, but it's the highest fahion on Gallifrey.
Same with this one.
No idea what's going on here, but I love it!
Also adding this picture of her Shada outfit. Just because I think that it looks like this is where she belongs!
Her wearing four outfit and then wearing her own version of it was just <3
Romana is the Companion with the Best Fashion Sense!
Okay, but which one?
TOURNAMENT MASTERPOST
#I love the outfits of both Romanas very much#but for me Romana II wins#she has the bigger variaty and her outfints are all over the place#the outfit from creature from the pit certainly has been... a choice it doesnt really fit her in my opinion#but to be fair Romana I would have rocked it and I think even Lalla Ward herself has said that it looks like Mary Tamm should wear it#and isn't Janet Fielding giving her the fault for fives companion alway having to run around in the same clothes#because all the costume money was spent on Lalla#also her State of Decay outfit is just so!#it feels a little more...costumey#I can't find a picture of the other dress she was wearing in that ep but seeing those two styles after each other almost gave me a whiplash#but she makes both of them work!#also depending on which version of canon you go with Romana regenerated into Lalla Ward for fashion reasons#(I'll admit that you could argue that doing so was Romana I choice but I just needed to point it out)

more domestic nanami kento because I love and adore him, but this time youâre in an argument and try to sleep on the couch (spoiler: nuh uh)
wc: idk iâm on my phone itâs not that long
you get into an argument w nanami and think he wants space so after dinner, when he heads into the room to go to bed, you stay out under the pretense of finishing some paper work and watching the news. you pull a blanket out and splay onto your couch, which, despite being a little small, is soft and comfortableâ a testament to its use and the friends you've had over to break it in. the thought of those good times warms your heart a smidge, though it remains heavy with the current tension between you and your fiancĂ©. you leave the tv on, let the night shift television shows fill the space and keep you company while you sleep, an alarm set so that tomorrow you can make breakfast and talk it out.
in the bedroom, nanami lays on his back, the small clock to his left almost mocking him with the way the red numbers change minute after minute with no sign of you coming to bed. the room is cold without your presence, dark in a way that has nothing to do with lamps or moonlight. he fidgets and turns but without your familiar dip in the bed, sleep is impossible. he never sleeps well without you; the lack of your steady breaths and soft snores means he starts to spiral with thoughts about your wellbeing. he knows youâre in an argument, but you always come to bed, right?
he sits on it for a moment more, eyeing the door to see if youâll slip in and put his worries to rest like you always do. when the numbers blip again, he gets up, feet sliding into the silly slippers you got him for christmas (you have a matching pair) and finds his way to the living room.
when he finds you there curled up with your arm hung over the edge of the sofa and a little bit of drool spilling onto the cushion, his heart twists. the lights of the television flash over your face, certainly disrupting your sleep, though he doubts your reaching anywhere near a restful slumber. he walks over to you, slowly crouching in order to avoid scaring you awake. his right hand grabbing yours, and itâs freezingâ left without the protection of your measly blanket. he warms it with one hand while the other comes up to graze your face, easing you awake.
âkento?â you ask, bleary eyed. âyouâre even handsome in my dreams.â you smile and pat his face before letting your arm drop and closing your eyes once more.
a small chuckle escapes him, both in surprise and adoration at his soon to be wife. unwilling to try and wake you a second time, he quickly turns the tv off, then slides an arm around your back and another under your knees before rising. he elbows the light switch to the living room off and slowly makes his way back to your shared bedroom, carefully avoiding hitting you at any point. your head is safe regardless, tucked into his chest contentedly despite not being awake. he supposes your body recognizes him asleep or awakeâ a testament to the years youâve spent side by side; once as teammates and now as lovers.
he slides you into bed on your side, fixing up the covers before making his way around to his side. he slips off his slippers and gets himself under the covers, body gravitating to you. as he brings you closer to him, you finally seem to shake off your sleep. you look at him sadly, and itâs enough to resolve him against letting any future arguments happen (an impossible sentiment, he knows, but the look on your face is makes him dead set on trying).
ânever try to sleep on the couch again.â he whispers, quiet but stern. âI hate sleeping without you. I worry too much.â the honesty is almost suffocating and tears build at your waterline.
âmâ sorry kento. thought you were mad at me nâ I wanted to give you some space away from me.â you reply, the words thick with sleep and emotion.
âiâll never need space from you baby,â he insists, âI know we were in an argument but you mean everything to me. Iâll always want you by my side. Iâll always need you by my side. Iâm sorry if I made you feel like you were the reason I was upset.â he finishes off with a kiss to your forehead, his hand coming up to wipe the tears that have begun to drip down your cheeks.
he kisses down the bridge of your nose before leaving a peck at your lips. itâs the last thing you feel before giving in to the exhaustion once more.
in the morning, youâll discuss the tensions of yesterday, but before that, youâll wake in the arms of your lover, held tight against the rhythmic thumping of his heart.
it beats for you, anyway.

part one
TW: nsfw, dubcon, blackmail
fem reader
As promised, you receive the pictures in the mail while the payment is forwarded almost emmidiatly. You donât know which makes you gawk more, the photos of you or the numbers.
You also get an emailâan invitation. The photographer is asking you to dinner. Or, asking is putting it nicelyâwhich he most certainly didnât. Itâs phrased like a notice from your bossâmatter-of-factly, heâs picking you up at eight, wear something nice.
You think about declining, but then you think about your friend again and how you donât want to cause her any trouble. A free dinner isnât really all that bad, is it?
Itâs worse, actually.
âYou should have told me you didnât have anything to wear. I would have lent you something,â is the first thing he says when you get in his car. He hadnât opened the door for you or anything, just sat in the driverâs seat waiting.
And though your cheeks burn with embarrassment, you think youâre foolish for it. You hadn't really dressed to impress him, after allâsomething you might as well tell him, âMaybe I just didnât feel like dressing up. You didnât exactly leave a good impression last time we met, so I donât believe I owe you anything.â
He scoffs with a grinâface turned towards the road as he starts driving. âYou have a lot more bite without your friend.â
âShe has too much respect for you.â You cross your arms and look out the window.Â
âThatâs for sure.â You hear him chuckle, but he doesnât offer any more of a response. Youâre glad to spend the rest of the drive in silence.
You feel underdressed at the restaurant. You hadnât thought heâd take you somewhere so nice. Most of the other couples there are dressed as if for a gala, while youâre dressed as if youâre going to an office party.
He hasnât tried too hard himself. But still, he fits inâfat watch on his wrist, kempt hair, neat shoes, dress trousers, and a silk shirt with one too many buttons undoneâa nauseating skinny chain beneath the collar as well as the hint of a chest tattoo. You bet itâs one of those dumb tribal inks, probably with some mundane Japanese characters he doesnât know the meaning of.
âIs this where you undermine all the models desperate for your recognition?â you sigh as you sit down.
âWe haven't even gotten our menus, and youâre already causing a scene?âÂ
Heâs the one who was rude the moment you got in the car. In fact, he was rude the minute you met him. âMight as well speed this along.â
He chucklesâhis smile genuinely amused instead of angered the way youâd imaginedâthe way youâd remembered from last time when he sent girls crying. âYou know, for a face like that, you have one hell of a tongue.â
He orders wine by the name with ease and swiftness before returning to what he was saying.
âI like that. Most models are dull, but not you.â
âI donât agree. And Iâm a model,â you snip, showing no interest in his flirting.
 âNo? Didnât you see the pictures?â Your attitude doesnât seem to deter himârather, it only seems to egg him further on. âI have them all mounted on my walls at homeâyou should come see.â
This makes you falter. Looking at him from across the table with rounded eyes. âOn your walls?â
âFramed.â He smiles, finally having broken throughâhe only intends to take it further. Not that what he was saying wasnât true. âI just couldnât help myself. I consider it my best work.âÂ
The look on your face is something between disgusted and uncertainâspeechless in a sense.
It makes him laugh again. âDoes anything flatter you?â
The wine comes. Heâs poured a glass for testing.
âNot when spoken by men like you.â
His grin grows as he swirls the liquid around, smelling it like a phony.
âThatâs a shame,â he says before taking a sip. He nods to the waiter, and youâre poured a similar glass. Meanwhile, he looks at you. âIâd like to flatter youâIâd like to spoil you even. You seem like you deserve it.â
You sip your glass. âNo need.â
âIâm not so sure about that. You currently work at a diner, right?â
You gaze at him from atop your glass, brows furrowing. âHow do youââ
âI didnât.â Itâs a lie, of course, heâd searched you up and gone over every little detail he could find. âItâs clear from the looks of youââ
âFuck you,â you snap, putting your glass down a bit too harshly, enough to make a little wine slip and spill.
He doesnât mind it. âOh, I want you to,â he says instead. âAfter I pay for dinner and drive you back. We can fuck right under my favorite portrait of you.â
Youâre stunted by his crude words, but only for a second. âHow about we skip dinner, and you go fuck yourself.âÂ
His smile doesnât drop, even as you get up to leave. âSettle down, sweetheart.â
âMake me, jackass.âÂ
Youâre on your way to go, but his next words have you halting.Â
âEither you humor me, or I make sure your friend never models in the country again.â
You turn around to look at him. You donât really know why youâre so surprised. The card he just pulled is the very reason you agreed to the dinner in the first place. But an incentive is very different from outright blackmail, and suppose you just hadnât really believed heâd take it that far.
âItâs my impression you donât want that,â he continues.
You sit back down. He tops your glass off.
âI could make her big, you know?â he offers while pouring for himself as well. âReally speed her career alongâset her up for life. Iâll do the same for you, too, of course.âÂ
He swirls his wine, lifting it as if to make a toast.
âAnd all you gotta do is come back home with me.â
You donât have the words.
âYou wonât be disappointed,â he promises. âIâm good at it.â As if thatâs your concern. âYouâll never want to fuck anyone else again.â
You hate how right he is.Â
Youâve never cum sooner or harder before in your life, not with anyone else or on your own. Itâs like nothing youâve ever experiencedâso good, youâre screamingâmoaning out in echoes throughout his giant penthouse, bouncing off the marble floors into all unlocked rooms, creating a cacophony of your undeniable pleasure.
Heâs on his knees beneath you as you lean with your back against the window overlooking the city, barely able to stand as he buries his face between your soft thighs, canting his chin up while lapping hard at your slit and clit. His hard stare set on your face and the way you throw your head back while cumming in his mouthâyour hand tussled in his hair, yanking on it hard enough to make him growl.
Your legs and feet give you little support. It's his hands that keep you up as you slide further and further down the floor-to-ceiling window until youâre almost about ready to drop your weight completely.
But heâs made you come undone three times by then, and just canât wait any longer.Â
Heâs spun you around before you know it, making you face the pretty lights of the city skylineâhis mouth hot on the shell of your ear, âI told you so, didnât I?â
Your breath fogs the glass with your pantingâknees wobbly, only standing thanks to the thick arms heâs got supporting you, each with a tit in their hand, giving them rough squeezes as he starts pounding away at your wombâhard enough to make the city lights blend in with the stars.Â
âYou wonât wanna fuck anyone else again.â

Iâm Declaring War Against âWhat Ifâ Videos: Project Copy-Knight
What Are âWhat Ifâ Videos?
These videos follow a common recipe: A narrator, given a fandom (usually anime ones like My Hero Academia and Naruto), explores an alternative timeline where something is different. Maybe the main character has extra powers, maybe a key plot point goes differently. They then go on and make up a whole new story, detailing the conflicts and romance between characters, much like an ordinary fanfic.
Except, they are fanfics. Actual fanfics, pulled off AO3, FFN and Wattpad, given a different title, with random thumbnail and background images added to them, narrated by computer text-to-speech synthesizers.
They are very easy to make: pick a fanfic, copy all the text into a text-to-speech generator, mix the resulting audio file with some generic art from the fandom as the background, give it a snappy title like âWhat if Deku had the Power of Ten Ringsâ, photoshop an attention-grabbing thumbnail, dump it onto YouTube and get thousands of views.
In fact, the process is so straightforward and requires so little effort, itâs pretty clear some of these channels have automated pipelines to pump these out en-masse. They donât bother with asking the fic authors for permission. Sometimes they donât even bother with putting the ficâs link in the description or crediting the author. These content-farms then monetise these videos, so they get a cut from YouTubeâs ads.
In short, an industry has emerged from the systematic copyright theft of fanfiction, for profit.
Project Copy-Knight
Since the adversaries almost certainly have automated systems set up for this, the only realistic countermeasure is with another automated system. Identifying fanfics manually by listening to the videos and searching them up with tags is just too slow and impractical.
And so, I came up with a simple automated pipeline to identify the original authors of âWhat Ifâ videos.
It would go download these videos, run speech recognition on it, search the text through a database full of AO3 fics, and identify which work it came from. After manual confirmation, the original authors will be notified that their works have been subject to copyright theft, and instructions provided on how to DMCA-strike the channel out of existence.
I built a prototype over the weekend, and it works surprisingly well:
On a randomly-selected YouTube channel (in this case Infinite Paradox Fanfic), the toolchain was able to identify the origin of half of the content. The raw output, after manual verification, turned out to be extremely accurate. The time taken to identify the source of a video was about 5 minutes, most of those were spent running Whisper, and the actual full-text-search query and Levenshtein analysis was less than 5 seconds.
The other videos probably came from fanfiction websites other than AO3, like fanfiction.net or Wattpad. As I do not have access to archives of those websites, I cannot identify the other ones, but they are almost certainly not original.
Armed with this fantastic proof-of-concept, Iâm officially declaring war against âWhat Ifâ videos. The mission statement of Project Copy-Knight will be the elimination of âWhat Ifâ videos based on the theft of AO3 content on YouTube.
I Need Your Help
I am acutely aware that I cannot accomplish this on my own. There are many moving parts in this system that simply cannot be completely automated â like the selection of YouTube channels to feed into the toolchain, the manual verification step to prevent false-positives being sent to authors, the reaching-out to authors who have comments disabled, etc, etc.
So, if you are interested in helping to defend fanworks, or just want to have a chat or ask about the technical details of the toolchain, please consider joining my Discord server. I could really use your help.

The Three Commandments
The thing about writing is this: you gotta start in medias res, to hook your readers with action immediately. But readers arenât invested in people they know nothing about, so start with a framing scene that instead describes the characters and the stakes. But those scenes are boring, so cut straight to the action, after opening with a clever quip, but open in the style of the story, and try not to be too clever in the opener, it looks tacky. One shouldnât use too many dialogue tags, itâs distracting; but you can use âsaidâ a lot, because âsaidâ is invisible, but donât use âsaidâ too much because itâs boring and uninformative â make sure to vary your dialogue tags to be as descriptive as possible, except donât do that because itâs distracting, and instead rely mostly on âsaidâ and only use others when you need them. But donât use âsaidâ too often; you should avoid dialogue tags as much as you possibly can and indicate speakers through describing their reactions. But donât do that, itâs distracting.
Having a viewpoint character describe themselves is amateurish, so avoid that. But also be sure to describe your viewpoint character so that the reader can picture them. And include a lot of introspection, so we can see their mindset, but donât include too much introspection, because itâs boring and takes away from the action and really bogs down the story, but also remember to include plenty of introspection so your character doesnât feel like a robot. And adverbs are great action descriptors; you should have a lot of them, but donât use a lot of adverbs; theyâre amateurish and bog down the story. And
The reason new writers are bombarded with so much outright contradictory writing advice is that these tips are conditional. It depends on your style, your genre, your audience, your level of skill, and what problems in your writing youâre trying to fix. Which is why, when Iâm writing, I tend to focus on what I call my Three Commandments of Writing. These are the overall rules; before accepting any writing advice, I check whether it reinforces one of these rules or not. If not, I ditch it.
1: Thou Shalt Have Something To Say
Whatâs your book about?
I donât mean, describe to me the plot. I mean, why should anybody read this? Whatâs its thesis? Whatâs its reason for existence, from the readerâs perspective? People write stories for all kinds of reasons, but things like âI just wanted to get it out of my headâ are meaningless from a reader perspective. The greatest piece of writing advice I ever received was you putting words on a page does not obligate anybody to read them. So why are the words there? What point are you trying to make?
The purpose of your story can vary wildly. Usually, youâll be exploring some kind of thesis, especially if you write genre fiction. Curse Words, for example, is an exploration of self-perpetuating power structures and how aiming for short-term stability and safety can cause long-term problems, as well as the responsibilities of an agitator when seeking to do the necessary work of dismantling those power structures. Most of the things in Curse Words eventually fold back into exploring this question. Alternately, you might just have a really cool idea for a society or alien species or something and want to show it off (note: it can be VERY VERY HARD to carry a story on a âcool original conceptâ by itself. You think your sky society where they fly above the clouds and have no rainfall and have to harvest water from the clouds below is a cool enough idea to carry a story: Youâre almost certainly wrong. These cool concept stories work best when they are either very short, or working in conjunction with exploring a theme). You might be writing a mystery series where each story is a standalone mystery and the point is to present a puzzle and solve a fun mystery each book. Maybe youâre just here to make the reader laugh, and will throw in anything you can find thatâll act as framing for better jokes. In some genres, readers know exactly what they want and have gotten it a hundred times before and want that story again but with different character names â maybe youâre writing one of those. (These stories are popular in romance, pulp fantasy, some action genres, and rather a lot of types of fanfiction).
Whatever the main point of your story is, you should know it by the time you finish the first draft, because you simply cannot write the second draft if you donât know what the point of the story is. (If you write web serials and are publishing the first draft, youâll need to figure it out a lot faster.)
Once you know what the point of your story is, you can assess all writing decisions through this lens â does this help or hurt the point of my story?
2: Thou Shalt Respect Thy Readerâs Investment
Readers invest a lot in a story. Sometimes itâs money, if they bought your book, but even if your story is free, they invest time, attention, and emotional investment. The vast majority of your job is making that investment worth it. There are two factors to this â lowering the investment, and increasing the payoff. If you can lower your audienceâs suspension of disbelief through consistent characterisation, realistic (for your genre â this may deviate from real realism) worldbuilding, and appropriately foreshadowing and forewarning any unexpected rules of your world. You can lower the amount of effort or attention your audience need to put into getting into your story by writing in a clear manner, using an entertaining tone, and relying on cultural touchpoints they understand already instead of pushing them in the deep end into a completely unfamiliar situation. The lower their initial investment, the easier it is to make the payoff worth it.
Two important notes here: one, not all audiences view investment in the same way. Your average reader views time as a major investment, but readers of long fiction (epic fantasies, web serials, et cetera) often view length as part of the payoff. Brandon Sanderson fans donât grab his latest book and think âUuuugh, why does it have to be so looong!â Similarly, some people like being thrown in the deep end and having to put a lot of work into figuring out what the fuck is going on with no onboarding. This is one of science fictionâs main tactics for forcibly immersing you in a future world. So the valuation of what counts as too much investment varies drastically between readers.
Two, itâs not always the best idea to minimise the necessary investment at all costs. Generally, engagement with art asks something of us, and thatâs part of the appeal. Minimum-effort books do have their appeal and their place, in the same way that idle games or repetitive sitcoms have their appeal and their place, but the memorable stories, the ones that have staying power and provide real value, are the ones that ask something of the reader. If theyâre not investing anything, they have no incentive to engage, and youâre just filling in time. This commandment does not exist to tell you to try to ask nothing of your audience â you should be asking something of your audience. It exists to tell you to respect that investment. Know what youâre asking of your audience, and make sure that the ask is less than the payoff.
The other way to respect the investment is of course to focus on a great payoff. Make those characters socially fascinating, make that sacrifice emotionally rending, make the answer to that mystery intellectually fulfilling. If you can make the investment worth it, theyâll enjoy your story. And if you consistently make their investment worth it, you build trust, and theyâll be willing to invest more next time, which means you can ask more of them and give them an even better payoff. Audience trust is a very precious currency and this is how you build it â be worth their time.
But how do you know what your audience does and doesnât consider an onerous investment? And how do you know what kinds of payoff theyâll find rewarding? Easy â they self-sort. Part of your job is telling your audience what to expect from you as soon as you can, so that if itâs not for them, theyâll leave, and if it is, theyâll invest and appreciate the return. (âOh but I want as many people reading my story as possible!â No, you donât. If you want that, you can write paint-by-numbers common denominator mass appeal fic. What you want is the audience who will enjoy your story; everyone else is a waste of time, and is in fact, detrimental to your success, because if they donât like your story then theyâre likely to be bad marketing. You want these people to bounce off and leave before you disappoint them. Donât try to trick them into staying around.) Your audience should know, very early on, what kind of an experience theyâre in for, what the tone will be, the genre and character(s) theyâre going to follow, that sort of thing. The first couple of chapters of Time to Orbit: Unknown, for example, are a micro-example of the sorts of mysteries that Aspen will be dealing with for most of the book, as well as a sample of their character voice, the way they approach problems, and enough of their background, world and behaviour for the reader to decide if this sort of story is for them. We also start the story with some mildly graphic medical stuff, enough physics for the reader to determine the âhardnessâ of the scifi, and about the level of physical risk that Aspen will be putting themselves at for most of the book. This is all important information for a reader to have.
If you are mindful of the investment your readers are making, mindful of the value of the payoff, and honest with them about both from the start so that they can decide whether the story is for them, you can respect their investment and make sure they have a good time.
3: Thou Shalt Not Make Thy World Less Interesting
This oneâs really about payoff, but itâs important enough to be its own commandment. It relates primarily to twists, reveals, worldbuilding, and killing off storylines or characters. One mistake that I see new writers make all the time is that they tank the engagement of their story by introducing a cool fun twist that seems so awesome in the moment and then⊠is a major letdown, because the implications make the world less interesting.
âIt was all a dreamâ twists often fall into this trap. Contrary to popular opinion, I think these twists can be done extremely well. Iâve seen them done extremely well. The vast majority of the time, theyâre very bad. Theyâre bad because they take an interesting world and make it boring. The same is true of poorly thought out, shocking character deaths â when you kill a character, you kill their potential, and if theyâre a character worth killing in a high impact way then this is always a huge sacrifice on your part. Is it worth it? Will it make the story more interesting? Similarly, if your bad guy is going to get up and gloat âAha, your quest was all planned by me, I was working in the shadows to get you to acquire the Mystery Object since I could not! You have fallen into my trap! Now give me the Mystery Object!â, is this a more interesting story than if the protagonistâs journey had actually been their own unmanipulated adventure? It makes your bad guy look clever and can be a cool twist, but does it mean that all those times your protagonist escaped the bad guyâs men by the skin of his teeth, he was being allowed to escape? Are they retroactively less interesting now?
Whether these twists work or not will depend on how youâve constructed the rest of your story. Do they make your world more or less interesting?
If you have the audienceâs trust, itâs permissible to make your world temporarily less interesting. You can kill off the cool guy with the awesome plan, or make it so that the Chosen One wasnât actually the Chosen One, or even have the main character wake up and find out it was all a dream, and let the reader marinate in disappointment for a little while before you pick it up again and turn things around so that actually, that twist does lead to a more interesting story! But you have to pick it up again. Donât leave them with the version thatâs less interesting than the story you tanked for the twist. The general slop of interest must trend upward, and your sacrifices need to all lead into the more interesting world. Otherwise, your readers will be disappointed, and their experience will be tainted.
Whenever Iâm looking at a new piece of writing advice, I view it through these three rules. Is this plot still delivering on the bookâs purpose, or have I gone off the rails somewhere and just stared writing random stuff? Does making this character âmore relateableâ help or hinder that goal? Does this argument with the protagonistsâ mother tell the reader anything or lead to any useful payoff; is it respectful of their time? Will starting in medias res give the audience an accurate view of the story and help them decide whether to invest? Does this big twist that challenges all the assumptions weâve made so far imply a world that is more or less interesting than the world previously implied?
Hopefully these can help you, too.

DPxDC prompt (demon twins au)
A video from your son, the email was titled. Bruce was confused. Which of his kids would send a video to his public work email??
Bruce clicked play.
On the screen was a boy who look a lot like Damian, but most certainly wasnât him.
âThis video is for the eyes of Bruce Wayne only.
Hi Dad. Iâm Danny. You likely donât know I exist, and if youâre receiving this, Iâm already dead. Well, more dead than I already was. Maybe itâs cruel of me to send you a message post-mortem, but you deserve the truth, and telling you earlier wouldâve put you in danger.
This email is set to automatically send if I havenât opened my computer for 3 days. I sometimes set it longer if Iâm on vacation or expecting trouble, but Iâve mostly likely been away from home for a bit over three days if youâre receiving this.
I donât know who killed me. Obviously. Iâm recording this in advance. But it was probably either the GIW or my adoptive parents, the Fentons. I half-died at 14 and became a local ghost superhero, but they never realized I was trying to help and kept talking about tearing ghost-me apart molecule by molecule, so I bet thatâs what happened. There will be nothing left of me to bury. Sorry about that!
The rest of the story is this. I was raised in an assassin cult, eventually escaping at the age of 6 when they sent me on mission and I successfully faked my death.
My biggest regret is that I escaped alone. And thatâs the reason Iâm reaching out to you.
Youâre a civilian. If you know too much about the League of Assassins youâll be in danger. But I need you to save my twin Damian. Heâs likely still there after all these years. He never wanted to escape; he took pride in being the heir to the league. Heâs probably going to be stabby; heâs an assassin after all. But itâs not his fault. Raâs - our grandfather - brainwashed him a lot more than he brainwashed me because Damian was more susceptible to it. Itâs not his fault. Please. Save him. Iâm begging you. My biggest regret is leaving Damian in the league. You have a chance to save him. Please, please do it.
I wish it wouldâve been safe for me to get to know you. You seem like a cool dad, from what Iâve seen of you on the news with your oldest kids. I bet youâre like that with the youngest you hide from the public too. I wish you all the best. Thank you for listening.
Your long lost almost certainly dead by now son, Danny Fenton.â
Bruce took a second to process this, then picked up his phone and dialed his youngestâs number.
âFather.â
âDamian, did you have a twin named Danny?â
ââŠWho told you?â
Bruce hung up and sent Damian the video. He needed a minute to process this anyway.
Damian called back a few minutes later, after watching the video.
âFather. I do not care what state he is in. We must discover exactly what happened to Danny. Even if there is only a single molecule left. We must discover the truth.â
âI couldnât agree more, Damian.â
Dealerâs choice on whether Danny is alive. The few ideas I have for this are:
- they find him mid-vivisection and rescue him
- they find whatâs left of him post-vivisection and post his core being crushed
- heâs perfectly fine and just forgot to open his computer (maybe clockwork made sure he forgot?) and now heâs panicking about the fact that his family knows about him and could be in danger. He wanted them to know he existed, not make themselves a walking target for the league by finding him and trying to bring him home!
- Jazz found the automatic email and, deciding to meddle in her brotherâs life and him back to his family and maybe get a good parent for herself as a bonus, sent it early
- Technus decided to start shit and sent it while haunting Dannyâs computer
- Clockwork screwed with time to make sure it got sent
Lmk what yall do with this!

àšà§ SATORU GOJO
â„â âč "o-oh fuck!" you moan out, your little frilly pink bathing suit was thrown somewhere haphazardly and your breasts press against the strong plains of satoru's bare chest.
you were staying at your parent's summer house in the hamptons, it's upkeep being done completely by the hired staff. but one member of them would always catch your attention.
snowy white hair with matching long lashes, bright cerulean eyes, and a body that's hard to take your mind off of.
satoru had recently been hired to take care your olympic-sized pool, and you certainly were not complaining at the free (not really free) show that came with him cleaning it.
every time you knew he was coming over to do some work, you'd be out sunbathing, doing pilates, or "homework" outside. and every time you'd ask him for help with something.
your sweet voice would call him over, pouty lips and big eyes stare up at him and ask him, ever so innocently, "satoruuu... can you help me with this?"
which led to where you were right now. after about 2 weeks of asking him for his help, you finally asked him if he could, "pretty please put sunscreen on my back?"
you were flipped over on your stomach, laying on a lounge chair with your skimpy pink bikini bottoms doing absolutely nothing to cover your ass and you swore you could hear him gulp loudly.
his large hands massaged the lotion into your back, getting lower and lower until he stopped right where the string of your bottoms were.
confused, you whip your head around to see why he stopped before turning back over to face him.
"fuck..." you heard him sigh under his breath before hastily pressing his lips onto yours. "you're such a fucking tease."
satoru wasted no time ripping your swimsuit off, one hand coming up to pinch one of your nipples while the other crept towards your aching heat.
his lithe fingers brush against your folds before his thumb finally presses on your clit, making you gasp into his mouth.
satoru continues his ministrations on your pussy until he feels your hand wrap around his wrist, making him stop his movements. "is something wrong?" he asks, concern laced throughout his voice.
"no..." you mumble. "i just want you to fuck me now."
satoru lolls his head backwards and groans, "fuck, baby... you don't know what you do to me. don't know how long i've wanted to fuck you and this pretty pussy."
"then do it." you chide, getting impatient.
hurriedly, satoru removes his black board shorts, his cock springs free. the tip is flushed pink with precum leaking from it.
satoru's hands grab at the fat of your hips, pulling you down the lounge chair and making your ass flush against his his own hips.
you squirm against him, desperate for friction then whimpering when your clit bumps against the head of his dick.
"patient, princess." a small smirk pulls on his pink lips as he watches you pout up at him.
"put it in already." you groan, getting more and more impatient.
and though satoru does like how horny you are for him, he's almost sure that he's more turned on then you are. he swears he's never been this hard before.
he leans down, his arms caging you in as his cock sinks into you. "stop squeezing me... can hardly move." he moans.
"c-can't," you gasp, feeling him stretch your pussy. "you're s'big..."
your ears were ringing and stars blurred your vision, the way he was splitting you open was deliciously sinful.
satoru lets out a low moan before pulling out almost completely, only leaving the tip in before thrusting his full length in.
"oh my god!" you cry out, your manicured fingers wrap around his torso and dig into his pale skin.
his pace was relentless, the feeling of his thick cock dragging inside your walls and his tip continously pressing that gooey spot in you was overwhelming paired with his balls slapping against your ass.
you were on the brink of your orgasm, feeling the build-up in your tummy. "g'nna cumâ" your sobs turn into near screams as you feel one of satoru's hands creep down and rub your puffy clit.
"cum for me. cum on my cock, god, baby please cum. c-can feel you squeezing me, oh fuck." he babbles, not entirely sure of what he was saying but he knew one thing, and it was that he was going to make sure he got to fuck you every chance he got before you left for school again.
àšà§ SUGURU GETO
â„â âč though you have all the money you need to buy new purses, clothes, and sports cars, money simply could not buy you cooking skills. after countless of cooking classes for beginners (and dozens of burnt meals), your parents decided to hire a private chef for you. and that chef was suguru.
he was there to make whatever you wished for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, which you appreciated but ever since he's come into your mansion, you've found yourself craving something... different.
and suguru could tell. each time you first came downstairs in the morning you were always in some silky pyjama set. dainty lace straps of the top would always be falling off of your shoulders where he'd see no bra strap causing his eyes to fall down to your breasts and he would see your pert nipples peeking through.
but this time, you had come downstairs in a tiny little pyjama dress that did not cover your ass at all. suguru had asked you what you wanted for breakfast and you mumbled "pancakes" quietly, still trying to wake up.
you brushed past him to open a top cupboard, standing on the tips of your toes to reach a cup, your dress moving upwards and showcasing your -- oh my god you weren't wearing any panties.
suguru held back a groan at the sight of your bare pussy before muttering a quiet "fuck it" and you felt his large hands grip your hips, flipping you around to face him before he urgently pressed his lips into yours.
soon enough, he has you bare with your ass sitting on the cold marble countertops. black tufts of hair tickle your inner thighs while your mind is overwhelmed with pleasure.
suguru licks a strip up your pussy, from your hole to your clit. then one of his hands creeps closer to your heat and a thick finger plunges into you causing you to moan out.
your hands grab at his hair, pulling at the roots and he moans against you. his fingers work wonders in you, each thrust calculated and precise. every press from the digits would hit that sweet spot that made your ears ring.
his mouth was the opposite of his fingers, wrapped around your clit slurping loudly and messily. his moans made you press his face deeper into your cunt, basically riding his face.
"cum on my face, pretty girl..." he looks up at you, alluring eyes looking at your own. "know you've been wanting to, i'll let you, baby.â
you let out a strangled cry and grind quicker against his face, clit bumping against his nose. your cries get higher in pitch until finally the dam breaks and you orgasm all over suguru's face yet he never once stops his ministrations. his mouth continues to work your clit and his fingers are still fucking into you.
you were about to be thrown into another mind-numbing orgasm, tears lining your eyes and you sobbed out in overstimulation until the high was ripped away from you.
"w-what?" you looked up at suguru, confused.
"this time, you're gonna cum on my cock instead," he says before you hear the buckle of his belt hit the floor.
àšà§ KENTO NANAMI
â„â âč he knew he had an important meeting. knew it was with your father, but here nanami is, balls deep in his competitors daughter, whispering about how much he loves you.
you were bent over his large desk, your head facing the floor-to-ceiling windows. cute little tweed skirt pushed above your hips and your gucci monogrammed fishnet tights had a hole ripped out from the crotch.
when kento had ripped the hole, you gasped, ready to give him an earful of how hard it was for you to get those but you were quickly cut off by feeling his thick cock split you open accompanied by his strained voice saying, "i'll just get you another pair... another dozen if i get to do this to you..."
his hands were grabbing at your ass, while his eyes watched it recoil with each thrust of his hips. your pussy was dragging him in deeper, squeezing him impossibly tighter, it took everything in kento to not cum early, he needed to make sure you came at least twice before he does.
the sinful noise of skin against skin, accompanied by hushed moans permeated the office. each thrust of his cock was deep and impactful, but the pace was still quick. as much as he would love to take his time with you, he can't today.
"love you, baby," he moans. "love you so much, g'nna marry you one day, i swear..." kento rolls his hips, the head of his length pressing that gooey spot in you.
you let out a mewl, freshly manicured nails gripping the mahogany wood of the desk. you fuck your hips back onto him, relishing in the sheer amount of pleasure your boyfriend was providing you.
wanting to see your face, nanami's strong arms reach around your torso and pulls you upward, your back arching. he has one strong hand against your jaw, making your head face him while his other hand slithers down to your sopping pussy.
"k-kiss me..." you struggle between moans. "please kiss me."
and kento obliges. he presses his lips to yours as his hand begins to rub hurried circles to your puffy clit, making you moan into his mouth.
the drag of his thick cock paired with the stimulation of your clit was addicting, you pull apart from the kiss and your eyes roll to the back of your head. kento was overwhelming your senses, he was everywhere you needed him and everywhere you wanted him.
as your impending orgasm catches up to you, your hand grips the wrist of the hand playing with your pussy, the blunt of your nails dig into the skin.
"i-i'm cumming!" you sob, cunt sucking his cock in deeper and coating it as well as his wrist in your arousal. "love you s'much kento!" words slurring, still riding out your orgasm.
"one more time, princess... need you to cum one more time." he groans in your ear, moving downwards to press open-mouth kisses to your neck. his cock still bullying your insides while his lithe fingers rub your little clit relentlessly.
"y-yes!" you gasp, chest heaving.
"that's it... cum for me..." he coos.
as you come down from your second high, your ears ring but as soon as you come to, you realize the ringing wasn't from them. but instead it was from your phone.

Yandere cowboy x fem.reader
Yandere! Cowboy whoâs the towns sweetheart. How can he not be? He helps every troubled soul he comes across, doesnât matter who they are. He works hard every day to easy the load of providing for the family, heâs not a child anymore, of course heâll do anything he can to help out! Besides, who wouldnât fall for those muscles and pearly smile? Youâd be crazy if you didnât.
Yandere! Cowboy who you meet the first day of your âvacationâ to stay at your grandparents. Your parents though youâd been acting up the last weeks so they decided it was best to send you away for the summer, much to your dismay. Now youâd have to text your friends that you canât hang out at all. Damn it. Being forced to stay in a in-the-middle-of-nowhere town definitely wasnât your top priority. There was practically no service and nothing to do all summer. Youâll be bored out of your mind unless you manage to find something to entertain you. Luckily, there does appear to be something worthy of your attention- or rather, someone. Itâll certainly make things more interesting.
Yandere! Cowboy who you think is kinda cute, if not a little weird. Heâs no doubt very different compared to the boys in the city- speaking in that special accent, wearing worn overalls, sweat at his forehead everytime you meet and practical thinking above all else. Still, you find yourself intrigued by his contrasting personality.
Yandere! Cowboy who is enchanted by you. Youâre just soâŠ.wonderful. Funny enough, he also thinks youâre different, which interests him. Normally, he isnât the type to brag and is quite humble, but he isnât blind. He can see the way the girls in town drool over him. He knows heâs attractive. But you, you donât fall over your feet whenever you gets a glimpse of him. You donât stutter over every word while talking to him- in fact, youâre as cool as a cucumber. It almost seems like youâre flirting with him.
Yandere! Cowboy who notices you way your eyes sparkle when you speak of your interests. He starts thinking about the way you sound when laugh, how you pout when youâre frustrated and what you look like when youâre sad. Itâs all beautiful. You are beautiful. Soon, itâs not only that he focuses on. Now, every time youâre walking ahead of him, he pays attention to the curve of your ass, how your hips sway when you walk, and suddenly he finds himself having to adjust his pants.
Yandere! Cowboy who you enter a special relationship with. Youâre more than friends but less than actual lovers- thatâs how you see it at least and you believed thatâs what yan! Cowboy wanted, too. You two spend all your free time together in each others arms and going on cute dates around town and in the forest.
Yandere! Cowboy who wishes to marry you. Youâre his perfect match! It must be fate that you ended up in their little town. Heâd give you a big beautiful ring- heâs saved up quite a bit during his years of working, so he can easily afford it- and let you have whatever wedding you imagine. Heâd make sure itâs exactly how you want it. Then, heâll personally build you a house. Of course, before he starts working on that, heâll need to know if you want a porch, what kind of shutter you want and what colour should the exterior be, would you like a fireplace?
Yandere! Cowboy who canât believe it; youâre leaving? You say that summer is over and you donât have to stay there with your grandparents anymore. You almost seemâŠrelieved. No, that canât be it. You love him! Right? Or was the connection he felt just one-sided?
âSorry, you werenât meant to catch feelings for me or anything. I just wanted to have fun, pass the time yâknow.
âSo I didnât meant anything to you? Not even a little bit?âŠâ
âI do like you. But I live in the city and my stay here was never going to be permanent. Like I said, Iâm sorry it got a little too serious.â
ââŠâŠ.â
âYeah, I gotta go now. I wish you well though, see ya.â
Yandere! Cowboy who spiraled after you left. Youâve dug yourself too deep in him. He canât imagine going on about his life like you never existed. He thought you could be happy there, even if wasnât like the big city you were used too, but that was clearly not the case.
If he had to uproot his life and move to be with you, then so be it. He wonders if youâll be happy to see him again.
