Part 1

Alpha! Billy Russo x Omega! Reader

A/N: My very first A/B/O fic, that I started a while ago, and just decided to post.

It all started after finding out how much that lovely coat Billy wears in s1 costs.

Warnings: Masturbation, omega in heat.

You’re often overwhelmed.

It’s the hitch of your breath when your feelings are too big for your body, or the way your throat hurts with all the words that go unsaid.

There are not enoughs and there are too muchs and hardly any moments when things are… just right.

The coat in your hands is soft- ridiculously so, the label offers you an explanation- 100% cotton. You can't help the way your hands tighten on the material, as if you’d fight off anyone that tried to take it from you. Like for the first time, just right isn’t just a far away idea, it’s here, in your hands, against your chest.

How had you ended up here? Curled under your bed sheets, pillows all around you, clutching this lovely black coat to your body?

Today had been very overwhelming, your phone had pinged, alerting you to your impending heat, reminding you that you needed to pick up supplies. 

Your heats were formidable too, always too hot or too hungry or too needy. There was never a part of you that existed within the realms of fine.

At least until now.

When you were clutching this delightful black coat in your hands, bringing it up to your nose so that you could catch a whiff of the bewitching scent. 

It's bergamot at first, followed by notes of citrus that makes your eyes flutter shut. Delight spreads out inside you, fanning at the flames of your desire- your heat coming on faster as your nose lingers on the scent. You catch hints of pepper at the very end and it prompts you to take another long inhale.

Based on the size of the coat, your mind formulates an idea of the size of the person that wears it. The very thought causes you to clench your thighs together.

You didn't mean for this to happen, you'd only gone to pick up your silky PJs from the dry cleaners, designed specifically to be worn during your heat for maximum comfort on your skin. The delicate, gossamer material demanded special care, but you were very glad to have been gifted them some years ago.

You'd just picked up your item, when your nose had zeroed in on a scent that had made your body perk up curiously. It was the first time your senses had streamlined onto one thing, where throughout the day you'd had a number of difficult sensory encounters, leading you into wearing a beanie and noise cancelling headphones and the biggest jacket in your closet in any attempt to feel less things. The scent had made your brain ache for more, demanding you follow what your body had accepted- that this specific scent brought you absolute pleasure.

Even through the garment bag it was stored in, it had activated dangerous thoughts in your hindbrain, and before you could even look around for cameras, you'd reached over the counter and swiped the garment bag when the girl at the front desk wasn't looking. It had been tucked to your chest and smuggled out of the dry cleaners without even a moment of guilt.

Realistically, you wouldn't be in that much trouble anyway, omega behaviour was usually forgiven, even if it didn't make sense. No one would lock you up for swiping a men's coat, especially not so close to your heat.

You have a few hours left, and you use it to make sure your food supplies are easily accessible. Your heats tended to run on for five days- higher than average- which means that you were in a lot more danger of starvation and dehydration.

You wonder if he would take good care of you. Your mind spinning back to the owner of the coat, having already made up some basic idea of him.

You knew his designation, by scent alone, but you were too afraid to admit it to yourself, worried about the consequences of having stolen a coat from someone like that.

Would they be mad? Probably not, you were sure with a scent like that, they were used to omegas swarming around.

The thought made you unreasonably jealous, for a person you didn’t even know.

.

Your heat hits you in the early hours of the next morning. 

You wake with a whine, sitting up, thighs damp with your arousal. You reach for the pills on your bedside table, taking them quickly and swallowing down some tepid water, before lying back. They would help you go back to sleep until morning alleviating some symptoms of your heat. You turn, finding the coat lying beside you. You take a deep breath into it as you fall asleep.

.

You can’t focus on anything as you pump the slick pink dildo in and out of you. There are tears streaming down your face, desperate for much more than you could ever give yourself. 

You bring the coat up to your nose, crying harder as the scent wraps around you.

“Alpha.” You pant into the soft material, imagining your fantasy version of the owner. 

You take a deep breath, envisioning him here with you, presumably large body curved over yours, taking up all the air around you, smooth skin available for you to scratch and claw at, his scent glands on display and eager for your mark.

“Alpha.” You beg again, into the loneliness of your apartment.

.

The coat becomes a centerpoint in your nest.

On day three when it’s fully finished to a satisfactory level, an arrangement of pillows and sheets all around your bed, you tuck the coat in beside you, delighted at the way the material feels on your flushed skin.

The scent is strongest at the collar, where it's probably rubbed on his neck often, brushed against his gland when he turns to examine something.

You groan, mouth watering for a bite of him, whoever he was.

There’s a lot of buttons and buckles on it, and your hindbrain is somewhat obsessed with what you think he looks like wearing it, probaby commands any room he walks into. 

The label at the back says Burberry, and though you're not very familiar with the brand, the clean stitching and soft material tells you that it’s definitely got to cost more than what you pay for your own coats.

You sigh, stripping out of your PJ’s and opting to slide into the coat itself.

A groan slips from your mouth, the material feels coarse on your oversensitive skin, but you welcome it as you feel his scent engulf you.

A fresh wave of arousal coats your thighs, and you can’t help inching your hand down between damp thighs until you find your swollen clit.

.

On your knees now, face down into your bed, you bite down on the collar of the midnight black coat.

Your eyes roll back into your head, muffled grunts as you pump your overstimulated cunt to the brim.

You rub your face into the collar, arching your neck so that your scent gland rubs against the coat, a low whine at the severe taboo thought of rubbing your gland against a stranger's.

It's frowned upon, but the very thought of it is what brings you to orgasm just a few moments later. 

You struggle for air, hair tickling your cheek as you huff, some of it clings to the saliva at the corner of your mouth, some of it is caught in the tears that smear your cheeks.

You want- like never before.

.

When your heat is over, the guilt kicks in.

You know better than to wash the coat yourself, only wiping gently at the interior in hopes of wiping off any lingering traces of… you away. You think about getting it dry cleaned yourself but you’d used the last of your money on the alleviator pills to help with your heat symptoms. You wouldn’t get paid until the end of the month.

Finally, you rummage through the pockets, checking to see if anything had been left behind by the owner. You find a crumpled napkin with someone’s number scribbled on, leaning in, you take an experimental sniff and draw away from it in disgust as the scent hits your nose.

You almost put it back, but you figured it was crumpled anyway, probably meant for a bin in the first place- so you put it there. Searching again and you smile when you come across a tub of lip balm, opening it and giving a little sniff of the inside. There’s no scent to it, and you curiously swipe a bit onto your finger and smear it onto your lips.

You begin to get a sense that the person this coat belongs to, has very refined tastes, and after a quick search, your eyes widen in shock when you discover the lip balm costs near fifty dollars.

Which is how it starts- an itch at the back of your head that tries to warn you of the possibility that the coat in your possession costs more than you’d initially thought.

You let out a slow breath, typing in the information stitched onto the label and your eyes bulge out of your head when you finally see the price of the coat sitting in your lap.

Three thousand.

The coat you stole had cost nearly three thousand dollars.

You look down at the item in betrayal, the scent of its true owner just barely clinging to it. 

You take a deep breath, pushing your phone aside as you begin rummaging for a box capable of returning such an expensive item.

Thankfully, you know where to return it to, as the name and address had been hooked to the garment bag.

Delivering it is another difficult task on its own, but you manage, having to call in a few favours and explain in lengthy detail to the courier that your package wasn’t dangerous in any way but you’d rather not deliver it yourself.

Luckily, you’re able to convince them of your cause, the urge to help an omega in distress working in your favour.

.

It’s nine a.m on a Saturday morning when Billy comes home from his run. 

He’s fishing for his keys in his pocket when he notices that there’s a box sitting in front of his door.

He pauses for a moment, looks at the item, before stepping forward to examine it.

There’s a card on top- one of those printed ones you can get at a convenience store- light blue sky and a panda holding onto a handful of bamboo stalks. 

There’s an “I’m Sorry,” printed on, and then something added in below in pen.

‘From a very apologetic Omega.’ It says.

His eyebrows twitch in amusement, he brings the card up to his nose to catch a whiff- the scent of light, floral perfume fills his nose. 

He’s aware his coat had been stolen, he’d seen video footage of the crime itself, watched as a small hooded frame had reached across and nicked his coat before it could be cleaned. The dry cleaners had sent him the footage when they’d explained what had happened.

He’d thought it had been gone for good, deleting the only copy of the footage and moving on. He could afford to replace one coat. 

This though, was interesting, it seems like the omega had felt some sort of remorse, and had returned his coat to him.

It was sweet, he found himself smiling as he reached down to pick the box up, cradling it under one arm and flipping the card open as he enters his apartment.

‘Dear Alpha,                    I’m so sorry I took your coat. I tried to clean it as best as I could, but I couldn’t afford to have it dry cleaned for you. It’s wrapped tightly to protect you from the scent on it. I'd suggest not opening it, and taking it to be cleaned as soon as you get it. I’m very sorry. P.S. You have a very nice scent.’

He huffs, feeling a little sorry for an omega that couldn’t afford a dry cleaning bill, then again, the cost of the coat would definitely bring up the price a lot more.

Curiously, he tugs the box open, finding that the garment bag has been folded carefully and wrapped in plastic wrap. 

He sniffs the box experimentally, searching for any hint of a scent, or any indication that the package could be dangerous.

All he gets is more of that pleasant perfume that he figured was doused in the box to protect him from the scent.

It only makes him more curious.

Billy grips the plastic wrap, and very carefully tears a little hole into the plastic, breaking the seal.

His body goes rigid. 

He feels his pupils dilate, his hindbrain roaring to life as he catches the scent of an omega in heat.

His omega.

He rips the plastic furiously, fumbles with the garment bag and rips the zipper open. His eyes scan the coat, as he takes one long, slow breath.

The first scent he gets are apples, and then light notes of vanilla, but under it all, is the kick of pheromones, that sticks like honey on his tongue.

He takes another deep breath, groaning as his cock swells, pulsing to life, begging to claim the owner of such a delicious scent.

There’s so much of it, filling his space with sweet notes of frustration, yearning and unfulfillment. 

His omega, needing him.

A growl tears from his chest, something inside of him collapses like an avalanche, only increasing with time, decimating his thoughts and leaving a feverish burn under his skin.

He tugs the coat open, groaning, the tart smell of cunt clings to the inside of his coat, telling him that his omega wore his coat naked.

Desperate little thing, he thinks, as he dips his hand into his joggers, fingers wrapping firmly around his cock, squeezing in an attempt to force his orgasm away. He groans, the grip around his cock rewarding him with pleasure, and he can’t help pumping himself, trying to ease the desire inside of him.

He leans in, nose pressed to the collar of his coat, where the scent is strongest, where his omega must have rubbed their little scent gland vigorously against his coat,

Sweet, delightful, his cock aches for a cunt he’s never seen, his mouth yearns for skin he’s never touched. All he has, is the honeyed scent of an omega’s heat, and the screaming inside of him that demands he claim what his body knows is his.

His grip on his cock tightens, his vision blurs, head full of thoughts, ideas of a little omega under him, sobbing as they take his cock repeatedly, begging for more with broken cries.

He doesn’t stop until he comes into his hand, only then, does his thinking sharpen.

He puts his coat in bed beside him, he hopes the sheets will absorb the smell, so that he can have his little omega with him while he sleeps. He wakes with an aching cock, and the coat clutched tightly against his chest, struggling to remember fading dreams of little omegas that beg nicely.

He doesn’t get out of bed until he’s come twice into the palm of his hand.

.

He searches for days. 

But when he’d deleted the footage from the dry cleaners, he’d gotten rid of any hope of tracing his omega’s movements, and chances of finding an address. 

She doesn’t leave any record of one, always opting to pick up her items herself. 

At least he’s gotten that, a basic description, a height, an idea of her complexion and the colour of her eyes.

It was too vague to work with, but it was something he could think about before he went to sleep at night, with his nose buried in his coat, breathing in the scent of her, desperate to find the omega that had stolen his coat and unintentionally taken his heart.

He studies the card too, learns the handwriting, growing more and more desperate for his little omega.

Billy knew he wouldn't stop looking, not until he found the person who'd opened up a nest of possibilities in his head, giving him something he'd never had in a very long time.

Hope.

IZUKU MIDORIYA

NSFW

Having a hectic and demanding occupation meant he got frustrated in more ways that one, A LOT. It's not always that he found the time to release his pent up stress, but when he did it'd be in the dim lighting of his room where his body would be bathed by the soft light of the moon beaming through his apartment window.

It so happened that you, his partner, knew nothing of his solo escapades. You had both agreed to pursue any sexual endeavours later on into the relationship so sex was never really a spoken topic

You had clocked out of work on good time today, which meant you had time to go surprise visit your boyfriend. You passed by your apartment to go change into something more comfortable and pick up a couple of items you felt you might need for the visit.

After about fifteen minutes of driving in the bustling city, his apartment came into view. To your luck, his vehicle happened to be parked outside as well, signaling he was present in the building.

Your brows furrowed deeply as you kept ringing the doorbell and only receiving silence. You resorted to calling him on his cell, but yet again your efforts were to no avail.

You opened his door with the pass he had given you. The apartment greeted you with nothing but cold air and darkness. You closed the door behind you and refrained from calling out his name in fear of an intruder being present.

You gingerly made your way to his room, there you noticed his door was slightly open. As you creeped closer to his door, you could hear struggled noises emanating from inside. Your blood ran cold as images of the worst case scenarios flashed into your mind.

You paused just at the entrance of the door and listened closer.

Mmmfffff

Uuuuhhmmmfff

Ahhhckkk

Mmmm

The more you listened the more you realised those weren't struggling noises. The creaking noises of his bed were rhythmic to his moans, they were also accompanied by a foreign muffled voice.

The louder the voice became, the louder Midoriya followed up, and the louder the bed creaked. Your were halted in your tempered tracks the moment you heard your name struggling out our Midoriya's moans. You then opted to peak your head into the crack so you could clarify the situation for yourself.

The sight before you was of a starved man, engaging in the never filling dance of sexual starvation. His hips bucked sloppy and rhythmic, ramming his pleasure into the pillow that had your shirt on it. Come to think of it, that was the very shirt you'd been looking for, for the past three weeks. It was one of your favourites considering the material held the scent of your perfume for very long periods of time. With each sporadic twitch of his hips, you could see the slimy wet mess he had created beneath him.

Your eyes skimmed past his lower body to his face that was partially buried in the pillow, his brows deeply furrowed, his face beet red matching his knuckles that had a death grip on the pillow and a string of saliva trickling down the corner of his mouth.

Beside him was his phone that had a video of you and him trying out yoga together. The groans of being stretched beyond your limit were playing on maximum volume.

You took advantage of his dazed state and sat yourself quietly in his room. The more you watched the more the heat in your lower abdomen grew.

A good ten minutes later, the main character to your show rolled over in exhaustion, displaying his hardened pleasure squirting out the last of his load all over him. A long mewl of pleasure and satisfaction escaped his plumpy lips, followed up by soft pants.

His fluid coated stomach glistened like diamonds underneath the moonlight, his chest rose and fell steadily as sleep began to collect with him. His face ceased to let go of the red that had taken over it.

Fighting of the songs of slumber the boy made the conscious decision of getting up to clean himself up. Before that, he decided to check the time on his phone. That's when he noticed the ten missed calls from you.

He immediately felt guilt wash over him, as the good boyfriend he was he instantly dialed your number.

Your phone screamed in the pocket of your hoodie.

Nests- what from, for what and when for

Nesting is an instinct present in omegas that often brings them the most comfort. Nest are made of many soft materials such as linen, pillows, sheets, blankets, plushies etc. that hold scent for a long periods of time. They are highly personal and individual for each omega and being in one that hasn't been made by your family is an priviledge and an act of utter trust. But even if nests look similiar, they may vary in use and purpose.

Common Nest Materials

Bed

Not exactly a material per se but the most important part of nest, bed gives it ,,skeleton'' that make them more comfortable and less floory. Normal beds of course exists but there are some designs of them that are more appealing for omegas and have steady popularity because of it.

Omegas often choose beds that have closed space, resebling a nook that you can easily hide in. It can be achieved by building in the bed, equipping it with canopy, curtains or even snagging a tent! But remember that exceptions always exist and omegas can live in normal rectangle ones.

Blankets&Sheets

They are often made from soft, scent holding materials. They are commonly light but omegas can also buy heavy weighted ones for extra comfort if they wish. It depends on the person's tastes.

Pillows

Long and short, smooth or fluffy, round or squared etc etc. There are many great designs of soft pillows that can strike you fancy. Average pillows are the most often choosed option but long body ones are very close behind! Omegas like to hug things after all and there are also specially designed pillows for pregnant omegas and betas that can be a life saver

Clothes

Used clothes are common but not only restricted to them, they are most used in nests during heat and pregnancy. The longer used by them or significant other, the better!

Types of Nests

Comfort nests

They are the only type of nest that can be made by all secondary genders, even if omegas make them the most and best. Dynamics make them for as name descibes- comfort. They want to feel safe when they are for example sick, stressed, anxious or sad. They are constructed from closest available materials from bed and simply have to smell good and feel safe. They stem from childhood memories where babies spend their first years in mothers nest. All people associate them with security and stability because of this and often try to replicate them to feel safe, regardless of secondary gender.

Heat Nests

The most known nest type, omegas use them when they are close, in and little after their heat. When Omega has no mate, the nests are often similiar to comfort ones, albeit there are some things stolen from their family members as a buffer and source of additional comfort. When Omegas DO have a mate, they want to be surrounded by the scent of them, so they resort to cloth thievery and Laundry heists for maximum effect. The nest is a perfect combination of them and their mate.

Pregnancy Nests

They are the sturdiest and long-lasting of them all, being made during pregnancy and are used for it's remaining months, birth and first developmental years of ther childrens lives. Less priviledged people use their normal beds as the place they will build it in, but those with more money can dedicate entire room for such a nest. The beds are often round in shape or spacious, with curtains or something to separate the parents and children from outside world.

Kiddy nests

They are often made by the parent or the child themselves as a imitation behaviour or playing. The plushies and pillows are the most popular ingredient in those nests. Please note that young children under 8 doing this is a normal behaviour and doesnt at all reflect the childs future presentation.

hiya motts!

i wanted to share a scenario ive been thinking abt lately,, and it's just where you and wanda build a pillow fort together and just snuggle or read books together inside, i honestly think it's pretty cute and cozy & i couldn't stop thinking abt it recently hshshswhs 💞

anw thx for listening! i hope ure havin a great day <33

(also i was also wondering if i could be 🍊 anon by any chance if thats fine with u !)

HELLO IM HERE WITH THE FIC! Thank you lil orange for this adorable little idea and I'm sorry I've taken so long to reply!! Again this is unedited because I started typing words and didn't stop so uhm.. we'll just go with it

words: 1.5k

wanda maximoff x reader; fluff, just some coziness with our fave post-AoU gal, emo Wanda, pillow forts, mentions of HYDRA/Wanda's sad childhood, crushes no one will admit while Pietro plays the background matchmaker

“I can make whatever fort you want in two seconds, you know? I could build it in front of you even…” Wanda trudged down the stairs with more pillows from who knows where, grabbing as many as she could because you’d insisted on maximum pillowy softness, whatever that meant. 

You popped out with a gasp, your head poking from under a disorderly pile of blankets and couch cushions. “That’s not fun, Wanda! Doing it ourselves is the only way to go.” Wiggling out from under the mess you’d made in the living room, you took some of the pillows from her… only to dump them in a new pile next to your current one. “Gotta stay organized for the build!”

Wanda huffed at the sight, wondering how you were going to make sense of your building materials, if you could really call them that. She let you pull her along, but as you started placing cushions here and there, Wanda just stood still, admittedly lost on how to even start. 

After a few minutes of waiting around, you realized Wanda hadn’t taken even one step and you frowned at her. “It’ll go faster if you help me.”

“I don’t really…” The brunette dropped her eyes to the blankets at her feet, rubbing her arm nervously. She’d never really made blanket forts; they were on TV and she knew the general idea, but growing up orphaned in a war-torn country meant she was lucky if she and Pietro had one single blanket from night to night. With HYDRA, there was no such thing— life was only her cell and the experimentation chamber until she got her powers and once she did, she was watched 24/7, given things to hold only when Strucker was around to instruct her what to do with them. She hadn’t been in America long and after the Ultron incident, she had to keep a low profile which meant going out, making friends, exploring her new surroundings was off limits. 

Pietro was great at making friends with his new teammates, gaining their trust quickly, but Wanda had been in their heads and for that they were rightfully wary. Not mean, but she didn’t get invited to outings nearly as much as her twin— being mostly quiet didn’t help, not when she preferred sitting and watching others instead of taking the leap and joining in. For all her powers, an outgoing nature was not one of them; that was always Pietro’s thing. You were his friend first too, hanging out with him at meals and after missions, but unlike most of the others, you talked to her as well. Even if you found her without her silver-haired brother, you still waved at Wanda or sat next to her and asked about her day.

And so she started gravitating towards you as well, seeking you out if she wanted company or a break from Pietro’s non-stop rambling. Sometimes the two of you were silent and others Wanda opened up, asking you questions about your home or teaching you about hers. That’s how you learned just how little she’d had the opportunity to do and when you’d resolved to give her those experiences, no matter how small. 

Which is also how you’d become familiar with the look Wanda wore now, unsure and retreating in an attempt not to appear upset or uncomfortable.  You weren’t a mind reader, but somehow in your short time together, you’d grown to know her well. “There’s no right way to do it, I promise. Here, you can help me lay the foundation.”

You took her hand and brought her around to the half-constructed ‘foundation,’ a layer of thick couch cushions Wanda recognized from Natasha’s room. “Isn’t she going to miss these?”

“We’re going to give them back. Also, that woman never rests. I doubt she’s ever used that couch,” You shrugged, leaving out the part that this was not your first time taking your teammate’s furniture. Wanda thankfully didn’t argue, instead following your lead and laying out various cushions until it reached out multiple feet from the edge of the couch. “Now, true building begins!”

Wanda helped you arrange stacks of pillows into makeshift walls, drape sheets over sides of the couch, even had the great suggestion of grabbing a long baton from the training room for a true tented feel. She didn’t realize she was smiling until her face hurt, tossing a square pillow at you as you joked about her lopsided drapery skills. “You said there’s no right way! This is my way and I think it looks… just fine!” 

“Right right, we’ll see how long it stays up then.” She finally understood what you meant when you said maximum softness as you started throwing pillow after pillow against the floor of the fort, making such a thick place to lay on, Wanda was afraid she’d never want to get up when she sat down. 

The two of you took a step back to gaze upon your handiwork and truly, Wanda couldn’t help but feel proud at what she’d done. “Building it ourselves was fun.”

You turned to look at Wanda, her small smile as she looked at the fort making your heart swell. Seeing her happy, even if it was just for an afternoon, was always the highlight of your day especially if it was something you’d done together. “Told you so! The most fun part is enjoying the fruits of our labor though,” You grabbed the snacks the two of you had chosen earlier and ducked under the fort cover, settling in with Wanda right on your heels.

She chose to sit right next to you, close enough that she could promptly lean her head on your shoulder. Thankfully Wanda remembered the remote and the movies you’d planned to watch because as she toggled through the various screens, you were still frozen with the shock of her laying against you. She smelled so sweet, you wanted to cry or hug her or anything to keep her close like this forever. So many weeks ago, Wanda made a passing comment on affection, casually mentioning how she valued physical touch in reminding her loved ones that she cares. When you pointed out how little you’d seen her touch anyone, Wanda’s face instantly fell.

My only family is Pietro and the others, well… I don’t think most of them trust me enough to let me close to them, much less touch or hold their hand. 

You’d assured her then you weren’t afraid of her, that you would never shy away from her for something meant to be a kind gesture. She said thank you and that she appreciated your honesty and that was that before she switched to a completely different topic of conversation. Since then, you’d noticed every time Wanda squeezed Pietro’s arm or gave him a hug after returning and while you understood her hesitancy, you found you were a little jealous. You wanted to know what it felt like to be on the receiving end of Wanda’s affection, yearned for it even, but you’d never voice such a thing.

So this, today, whatever resting her head on you meant, you felt as though you could melt right into the floor. Pietro made you swear not to say a word, but learning of how much she talked about you, that she didn’t think you were annoying or pushy, but instead a welcome comfort, was the most pride you’d ever felt in your time being an Avenger. If you could spend the rest of your days showing Wanda your favorite things and helping her find some of her own, you’d be overjoyed. 

“Your thoughts are loud again.” Wanda looked at you quizzically, turning her head to search your expression.

“W-What—” She swore not to read anyone’s mind without permission anymore; but she’d told you if someone thought really intensely, she couldn’t help but sense it. Just like hearing a conversation as you walk down the street, it wasn’t something she could stop. This wasn’t the first time Wanda had called you out for your loud brain, mortifying each time you realized your feelings for her were overwhelming again. 

She never told you what she could hear, scared you might panic if you were aware she could particularly tell whenever your thoughts uttered her name. It was fine, she could wait patiently until you were ready to tell her about your crush yourself and she could say she liked you right back. “If you’re thinking about my side of the fort, don’t. Shut up and watch the movie.”

pink camellia, coriander, red chrysanthemums, daisy, and sunflower for kanata, if you please!!! 👯‍♀️👯‍♀️

Kanata Yatonokami:

🌻coriander: what do they love the most about their s/o, both physical and personality-wise?

Kanata thinks you have a cute smile, pretty eyes, soft skin—there’s really no end to the physical things he likes about you. He could stare at you all night, admiring you like you were a painting in a museum; he’d throw in top dollar just to take you home with him, even though he didn’t put much stake in material goods.

Personality wise he just liked that you were independent, and that you respected his independence (and co-dependence) too. You felt like another puzzle piece sliding into place, not upsetting the natural balance, not pushing Nayuta out of the picture, simply joining to become another member of the family. There aren’t many who’d be willing to indulge him or even attempt to understand his attachment to his brother, but you’ve never grown jealous of their relationship nor have you tried to drive a wedge between them.

🌻daisy: what is their love language, both giving and receiving?

Kanata is more of an acts of service person. If you needed something taken care of, then he’d take care of it without even needing a ‘thank you’. He doesn’t really think about the things he does for you nor would he consider them abnormal, which does come from his experience of constantly doting over Nayuta when he was ill. He can be overbearing but he preferred getting his hands dirty rather than you having to stress yourself out, so sometimes even when you told him not to worry about something, he’d still find a resolution that didn’t require too much energy from you.

He supposed if there’s one love language that spoke to him it would be quality time. Kanata is pretty busy overall, and he’s still glued to his twins’ side mostly, but when he does have a moment to himself he’ll always choose to call on you. It never matters what you’re doing as long as you can spend the time together, and a lot of it is generally strolling around outside or lounging around as you force Kanata to actually relax rather than having his brain constantly working like it normally is.

🌻pink camellia: how do they react when their s/o is gone for a week? a month?

He’s not thrilled with the concept of being apart but he doesn’t complain. He gets antsy if you’re not in regular communication, even if it’s just one call a day, but the maximum time he could mentally stand was about a week. A month makes him anxious, like you may never come home and he’s more irritable in your interactions because it doesn’t feel like enough. He won’t demand you come home before you’re ready but if you say you’re extending the trip he’d have to scream into a pillow.

🌻red chrysanthemums: how long does it take for them to say ‘i love you’?

Kanata knows he loves you before he ever says it. There were moments he felt the time was right, yet his voice gave out, and he hesitated when you were face-to-face. You wouldn’t consider Kanata a shy person, but he could easily overthink things, so it wasn’t unusual it took him time to meet important relationship milestones.

🌻sunflower: how would they confess their feelings to their crush?

There’s nothing pre-planned about Kanata’s confession, it really seems like he’s tossing all his cards down on the table and looking at you expectantly; either you’ll neatly gather them and respond by showing your own hand, or you’ll sweep them onto the floor and let him know where he stands with you. It was romantic in a way on Kanata could make something romantic, raw emotion pouring out of him, the vulnerability making him feel like he was being choked. He hated every moment of it until you returned his feelings, thinking it was worth the risk after but hoping he’ll never have to do something like that again.

TOY COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN. DM IF INTERESTED, OR IF YOU JUST WANT TO DONATE.

Alright, listen up, folks.

My hours have been reduced to nothing for months now on account of disabilities I'm trying to get treated for, I got a med bill I wasn't expectin' in the mail, and now I'm woefully far from bein' able to pay for my upcoming psychiatrist appointment, which I have to pay for by the 24th of this month. This one is really important because there's a strong probablility this one will be the one to prescribe me some meds that just might enable me to be able to acually take care of myself (read: actually function at all) for the first time in my life. I'm prolly gonna need like $300 to cover the appointment. I ain't askin' y'all to help me for free, however.

I can sew together little pillow monster things. They have zipper mouths and button eyes. They're hand-sewn, from a pet-free home.

This is my oldest (and smallest) example. about 7" wide and tall. The ones I'm proposing to sell will be about 9" wide and tall.

Here are the buttons and (9) zippers I have available for this endeavor. (Sorry about the lighting.) Note the loops on the zipper pulls for easier zipping.

Uhh, those are soda can pull tabs in the corner. Ignore that, I'm procrastinating on working on a project.

In terms of fabric, I have fleece and flannel of various colors. 'S all preshrunk in a washer and dryer, but I don't have a good way to showcase or store fabric other than shoving it all into one plastic bag. That aside, here's the flannel I have:

(Dark blue, light blue, teal, white, space [small amount], and scales [purple, blue, and green scales, small amount])

And here's the fleece:

(Purple, red, orange, and black [small amount])

Note how I have more of some colors in one material or another than in others. This means certain body surface colors may not be possible due to material limitations. I have a whole bunch of thread colors, and just an overall abundance of thread tho 👍

These are custom made to order, and the production is paid in advance. You can do custom colors (body, front vs back color, the color of the inside of the mouth, whether or not you want it to have a tongue, number / color of eyes) and you can POTENTIALLY do other customizations. (Want it to have a ridge on its back like a cartoon dinosaur? Want me to give it horns? Want me to try to figure out how tassles work? Want it to have floppy, doofy, cow-lookin' ears? [I recommend fleece for these kinds of additions, trust me on this one.]) Shape alterations mmmmaayyyyy be possible, but that's pretty dubious. Bear in mind that any customizations / additions will likely drive priduction time wayyy up, and there are things I might not be able to do.

Shipping will be paid seperately, and at the time of shipping. I can't really afford to cover shipping, but also I have no earthly idea how to calculate shipping. I have a tiny scale at home now that I can use to weigh the finished product, but that's about it. These are gonna have to be personally taken to the post office, which means a lot of walking. I dunno, we'll figure it out.

This is all being said and shown in the interest of maximum transparency with this stuff. You will recieve update images with progress on your little monster dude, and you're gonna have to give feedback on the button placements and angles before I sew 'em on so that way I know I've got the look you want on it.

Payments are done over Paypal.

Base price: $35 USD + shipping

Comm slots open: 9

Customizations and additions will add to the price, but the extent to which it happens is (sort of) negotiable. Most customizations are going to be (sort of) experimental on my end, and hand sewing takes forever, especially when you have "everything magically is really hard and takes too long" disease.

If I hit my goal, I'll stop accepting donations. If all 9 commission slots are taken, I will update this post with a good ol'-fashioned pinned reblog and close commissions AND donations. Note that I can only work on one pillow monster at a time, and that it's on a first-come-first-serve basis. If I'm working on one and you want to commission one, I'll let you know and ask if you wanna wait for it. You'll get a number (1-9) to signify whose order I need to do next.

In the meantime, I need to go pop out and sell some blood plasma, probably. 🤡

That Wasn’t A Kick

all my thanks to the lovely anon who sent THIS PROMPT in!! hope you enjoy!!

Word count: 1,593

Warnings: language, innuendo, so so much fluff

Enjoy!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At thirty-nine weeks and two days pregnant, getting out of bed was Aelin's number one enemy. Hell, everything was her number one enemy, but especially trying to stand up after she'd been lying down, pregnancy pillow settled firmly behind her. She'd gone to her OB last week and been told, once again, that everything looked great and baby would probably be making her appearance within the next two weeks, and probably sooner rather than later.

She was so beyond ready to meet her daughter.

Rowan, after hearing that news, had cranked his protectiveness level to the absolute maximum.

There was hardly a day--no, hardly an hour--when he wasn't popping in to check on her, whether via text if he was at work or just sticking his head into the room where she was if he was home. And as much as Aelin loved her husband, sometimes it was a bit much. She did, however, completely agree with the idea of him cooking for her all the time, rather than allowing her to make eggs and pancakes and microwave meals whenever she was hungry.

Rowan came home from work just as she was slowly pushing herself off the sofa where she'd been napping, grumbling at her daughter as she caressed her baby bump.

"C'mon, mija, let Mama up? You're the one who's insisting I go pee, the least you could do is let me stand."

"Hey, Fireheart," he greeted her, setting down his laptop bag and going over to take her hands, helping her to her feet.

"I can stand by myself," she grumbled, but she leaned into him anyway. "Hi, buzzard."

He pressed a soft kiss to her lips. Another to her bump. "You gotta let Mama move, little one," he murmured.

Baby decided she liked her father's voice enough to kick Aelin in the ribs.

"Cálmate, mija," Aelin sighed, rubbing circles on her bump as she walked--waddled, at this stage everything was a waddle--to the bathroom, Rowan's soft laugh echoing in her ears. She emerged to the sound of pans clattering in the kitchen, clear signs of Rowan beginning to cook dinner, so she headed slowly down the hall until she came to the kitchen.

And stopped in her tracks, guffaws bubbling up and out of her. "Oh my fucking gods," she wheezed, bracing her hands on her knees. "Not again, Ro."

He flashed her a wicked smirk. "Anything to make you laugh, my love." Rowan was wearing the t-shirt she'd given him as a first anniversary joke present, the soft gray material featuring two bright red arrows, one pointed up and the other pointed down, with the words "TWO-SEATER" emblazoned in bold type on the fabric.

"Well, you've certainly succeeded in that," Aelin cackled, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand.

He winked rakishly. "Fancy going for a spin later, love?"

She snorted. "Nothing fancy about what I plan to do with you, buzzard."

"In that case," Rowan purred, "I'll make sure you ride in both seats."

Aelin wheezed with a fresh round of laughter, bending down to brace her hands atop her thighs as she cackled. "Oh gods," she groaned, collecting herself. "Babe, you made me pee myself, you can't keep making your full-term pregnant wife laugh so hard." She winced. "Ouch, mija! That one hurt!"

Her husband, bless him, walked around behind her, murmuring to their daughter, and locked his arms around Aelin's hips, below her bump, lifting slightly. "Here," he said quietly. "I've heard this helps with the aching.” 

She leaned into his chest, sighing heavily at the pure euphoria of having someone else hold up her baby bump. “’S’wonderful,” she mumbled, closing her eyes, relaxing into his arms as he supported her. 

He’d just released her bump when she scrunched up her eyes again, hissing softly. 

Rowan was instantly in front of her, fingertips beneath her chin, asking her a flurry of questions that she could barely make out. 

“Slow down, buzzard,” she teased. 

He took a deep breath. “Are you all right? Why did you look like you were hurt?” 

Aelin brushed her thumb affectionately across his cheek. “Baby’s just shifting herself around in there, love. Nothing to worry--why are you looking at my pants like that?” 

“Uhh...” He gestured vaguely at her front. “There’s a...there’s a wet patch?” 

“Ro,” she chuckled. “I told you already, you made me laugh so hard I peed myself a little. Bladder control is zero with your daughter sitting atop it.” She kissed his jaw and headed off to the bathroom to take care of herself. 

And stopped short as she was coming back out to the kitchen, a fresh jolt of something more painful than a typical kick shooting through her abdomen. 

Rowan ducked his head into the hallway, his eyes widening with concern. “Fireheart!” He rushed to her side. “Are you all right?” 

“I--” She breathed slowly. “That wasn’t a kick, Ro.” 

“Shit,” he whispered, latching onto her meaning. “Are we--” 

“Yeah.” Aelin grinned, masking the flicker of apprehension in her eyes. “It’s baby time, buzzard.” 

“Shit!” he swore again, raking his hands through his hair so it stood on end like it had been shot through with electricity. “Okay okay okay we need the hospital bag and the backpack and the carseat and oh gods--” 

Aelin cut him off. “Babe.” She yanked him back around to face her, pressing her hands into his shoulders. “Calm the fuck down. We have plenty of time.” 

“How are you the calm one?” Rowan grumbled. 

She smirked. “I’ve been trained for this.” She kissed him softly. “The hospital bag is right by our door, love. Along with the backpack. And we put her carseat into the car two weeks ago.” 

“Right,” he murmured. “Right, yeah, we did all of that.” 

She chuckled, stepping into her slides as he hurried off to get the bags. “Ready?” she asked when he returned inside, their things secured in the car. 

“Ready,” he murmured, kissing her again. “Let’s go have a baby.” 

~

Nineteen hours later, Aelin cradled a tiny, wailing bundle to her chest, tears streaking her sweaty cheeks as she gazed down at her daughter, the perfect baby girl she’d brought into the world. Beside her, Rowan sank into the chair placed at her bedside, like he physically could not support himself anymore. 

“She’s perfect,” he whispered, his voice thick with tears. 

“She is,” Aelin breathed. “She really is.” 

Baby’s green eyes blinked sleepily up at hers as the tiny girl calmed, recognizing her mother’s skin against hers. 

“Hi, mija,” Aelin whispered, her voice cracking. “I love you so much.” 

“We love you so much,” Rowan echoed, carefully sliding his arms around Aelin to cup their daughter’s small, bundled-up body. 

“Would you like to introduce her?” the L&D nurse asked softly, grinning broadly at the new parents. 

Though perhaps she was just grinning at Rowan’s shirt, like so many of the staff had been since he walked into the hospital with his laboring wife. 

Rowan and Aelin shared a small, secret smile. 

“Alanna Evalin Whitethorn.” Aelin pronounced the words carefully, the name she and Rowan had chosen and kept secret for so long now revealed to the world. 

“Beautiful,” the nurse smiled. “All right, Aelin, let’s get you to your room, yes?” 

“Please,” Aelin chuckled. “Poor Ro here needs to lie down.” 

After helping baby Alanna latch to Aelin for the first time and successfully feed, the nurse got mama into a wheelchair, the little one snuggled into her father’s arms, and took them off to their room, got them settled, and ran through a list of instructions. And then smiled broadly and let them know they could have visitors until eight o’clock. Rowan left with the nurse, heading downstairs to the lobby to collect the family that had gathered there, after he’d settled Alanna back into Aelin’s arms, of course. 

Barely ten minutes later, he knocked at the door. And the massive, elated grins of both sets of parents followed him into the room, all four newly minted grandparents beaming and crying at the sight of their first grandchild. Aelin beamed and introduced Alanna to her grandparents, crying right along with them as they cooed and cuddled the newborn. 

Rhoe managed to make it all of twenty minutes before he really caught sight of his son-in-law’s shirt. 

He nearly flung Evalin’s purse, which he was holding, across the room. “Please tell me you didn’t come to the hospital wearing that thing,” he groaned. 

Rowan was silent. 

“Gods, boy.” Rhoe shook his head, hiding the mirth in his face. “The poor nurses.” 

“Oh, they loved Ro’s shirt, Dad,” Aelin snickered, winking wickedly. 

“I’m sure they did,” Enna, Rowan’s mother, snickered, throwing her son a sly grin. “Loved it even more when he took that shirt off for skin-to-skin, I’ll bet.” 

“Mom!” Rowan’s ears went crimson. 

“I’ll take that as a yes.” Enna winked, dropped a last kiss on baby Lana’s head, and took her leave with the rest of the grandparents. 

“I’m never hearing the end of this,” Rowan groaned, dropping onto the bed by Aelin’s side and burying his face in his hands. 

With their baby girl settled into her crib, Aelin stroked her hand up her husband’s back. “You’re my favorite two-seater, buzzard.” 

Despite himself, he broke into laughter. “I love you, Fireheart.” 

“Love you more,” she hummed contentedly, leaning into his side and linking her fingers with his as they drank in the sight of their daughter, their Lana, sleeping peacefully in her crib. 

Their perfect little girl.

Now that they understand hoards a little better, does nootmer feel bad for tearing the cape?

I imagine ink has been dragged into dreams nests from time to time. Dream probably knows exactly what materials to pile and how to pile them for maximum comfort and support, depending on what parts of the body are hurt.

Maybe when their little ones are on the way, error can ask Dream for nest-making tips and techniques in case ink is feeling uncomfortable or unwell.

It’ll probably take a little bit for Night to even realize that the cape is a part of his hoard, but honestly, he already feels bad for tearing it in the first place lmao. It was a kinda spur of the moment deal, and though the negativity it caused was quite the feast, there was still a part of him that felt a little guilty.

Oh 100%, Ink and the rest of the Stars/Almost Stars were the only ones Dream felt comfortable with pre-truce. There were many times that he dragged them into his hoard, or brought his hoard to them, if they were sore or injured. He learned how to make them super comfortable pretty damn fast. Ink was the main target of his affections purely cuz they lived together. XD

Daaaawww that’s super cute! I’m sure Dream donated the softest of blankets and pillows at the time — to be returned later of course.

#prioritizing all of his friends comfort and well being #while also making sure his blankets are well and clean thank you very much #asks #undertale #undertale multiverse #dragon balance au #Dream sans #dream!sans

I feel like a fool but an important one, bc I've just discovered a HACK

It's starting to get colder now in the UK and I tend to get chilly feet really easily, esp since there's no carpet in my flat and my slippers have gone awol (seriously I have no clue where they are, wtf)

I also spend a Lot of time at my desk for tumblr, art and school reasons, and my mezzanine gets especially chilly. I know rugs historically were used to keep feet warm while sit, but I'm not shelling out £25-£40 while unemployed in a cost of living crisis.

Enter: old crochet blanket

LADS

I discarded this thing as a hideous Xmas present to the back of the wardrobe months ago and had the BRAINWAVE to fold it up and place it under the desk as a makeshift rug.

I

Am

In Heaven.

It's SOFT I'm cozy in just my socks I'm not getting leg cramp from balancing on my chair wheels my posture is better and combined with a knee blanket for Maximum Cozy is. Just. *chefs kiss* perfection. No heating needed, I Thoroughly recommend trying this.

An old worn out jumper or other thick material would also work if you don't have a blanket to hand. Old pillow that you dont intent on using will also work!

God I prefer being cold to being hot so much. I actually know how to deal 😂.

#thalassa speaks #cost of living hack discovered #its so much easier to figure out how to warm up in the cold than vice versa #posting this so hopefully someone else sees this before risking an astronomical heating bill #gonna be an interesting winter thats for sure.

Finding the Perfect Fabric for Sale: A Guide to Online Stores

The quest to find the best fabric for a crafting and sewing project is an exciting adventure of the sort. Regardless of whether you are an experienced needle wizard or simply a beginner in DIY, fabric determines how your project will look. The fact that the Internet is omnipresent makes it more difficult to find premium fabrics, but not impossible. This article is aimed at looking at a large proportion of fabric stores online and finding out what they have in common.

Concept of Fabric Panels

Patches are cut from multiple small pieces of printed fabric with designs. These panels act as a mandatory focal point within quilting, home décor, and apparel construction, whether it is for beginners in the craft or professionals. It enables them to quickly join all the rest of their pieces together to create an amazing, eye-catching item. Whatever a textile panel is, whether, from the artist who wants to do an endearing nursery quilt or even a person who wants to make a bold statement pillow, the fabric panels are surely the initial basis of the imagination.

Tips for Buying Fabric from Online Stores

Before running straight into an ocean of fabrics you can buy fabrics for sale, know what you need to purchase first, to be on the safe side. Go through various things like sorting compositions, threads, texture, and the print of the fabric, which will help you select the right design.

Do not forget that the sizes could differ from those the website indicates, depending on the fabric used. Ensure that you size your project appropriately to steer clear of any potential pitfalls that come with unforeseeable challenges.

Online shopping stores provide the maximum level of simplicity; therefore, you should learn the return policy for the store. It is not surprising that if you are a lottery fan and get disappointed with your lottery ticket results, the first thing you will be doing is looking for a way to get a refund.

Be cautious when buying fabrics that contain online shopping, such as bargains and sales. Overcoming the struggle and including thrift store fabric in your project will make it good enough and possibly help you find an excellent-quality material at a lower price.

Conclusion: Embark on Your Fabric Adventure To conclude this guide, you are now armed with all the proper information to mount your online fabric thrill-seeking venture. With ease, notice that you can get anything you want, regardless of whether it is a romantic fabric or silk that is popular among consumers. The digital space is full of numerous exciting opportunities to explore. In other words, put off your sleeves, set your destination, and sail to the starry nights with your magical imagination!

BASF showcases sustainable product portfolio at UTECH 2021

New product developments and technological concepts to reduce carbon footprint

Energy-efficient and biobased materials for a fossil free future

The EU Green Deal is much more than an ambitious vision. It is a constant driving force to improve our range of more sustainable products and production methods. At BASF we have set ourselves far-reaching goals to work on new concepts and technologies for net zero CO2 emissions by 2050. At UTECH Europe 2021 you can experience how we intend to open-up new possibilities for our customers and help the industry to get closer to a fossil free society. Visit us from 16-18 November 2021 at UTECH, Maastricht, NL, booth E20.

Transportation: New lightweight and efficient solutions

Sustainability and alternative powertrains are the dominating trends in the automotive industry. BASF’s PU solutions are saving resources, are lightweight and energy efficient. A thermal conductive polyurethane for high-voltage batteries is contributing to heat management in the eMobility sector. For a comfortable and safe car ride, our cavity filling solutions are optimizing the NVH performance inside the vehicle. Besides various solutions for the car interior we are showcasing a cooperation with Grupo Antolin: a sustainable and lightweight PU headliner system and a lightweight structural bracket for panorama roofs.

Construction: biobased materials for highly efficient insulation  

When it comes to efficient insulation there is no room for compromises. Our PU rigid foam systems for sandwich panels Elastopor® and Elastopir® based on renewable raw materials are of the same high quality as conventionally manufactured products. In addition, a substantial reduction of CO2 emissions can be achieved by taking advantage of the BASF Biomass Balance approach, in which fossil resources can be replaced by up to 100% renewable raw materials. We made a further step in the development of our spray foam portfolio with Elastopray® LWP including recycled content. Climate protection at its best without compromising on quality and efficiency.

Bedding industry: Innovative PU MDI-based systems

CosyPUR® and Elastoflex® W for mattresses, pillows or toppers produced in discontinuous block technology. The discontinuous block technology opens opportunities for companies to produce their own tailor-made blocks with lower investments. BASF supports them by delivering ready-to use formulations under the one ISO concept. One Iso fits all technologies, be it flexible, viscoelastic or super soft. Thanks to this solution, material handling complexity is reduced, production optimized and cleaning pipes and machines is made easier. Different block performance can be obtained with every shot which helps boosting the customer’s product portfolio. Biomass Balance and ChemCycling™ technologies will contribute to reduce the carbon footprint.

Appliance Industry: Elastocool® iQ – ready for the new energy label

With Elastocool® iQ BASF offers more efficient, tailor-made solutions for the appliances industry to meet specific customer needs and its particularly cost sensitive goals. The new Elastocool® iQ generation has an innovative processing approach which enables a three-component dosing instead of the conventional two-component technology. In addition, the well-established Elastocool® F is enhanced by an additional, individually selectable third component to improve selected properties such as an adjustable lambda, higher flexibility in production and better cost control, e.g. by customized, high performance HFO systems.

Chemical recycling of mattresses  

Around 30 million mattresses end up in European landfills every year. At the same time, the production of new flexible foam mattresses consumes valuable raw materials. BASF is further improving a new chemical recycling process of mattresses to achieve the maximum possible circularity. BASF is now testing it on an even larger scale.

Basic and intermediate products

In addition to PU systems for various industrial sectors, BASF is showing a broad portfolio of basic and intermediate products, including amine-based polyurethane catalysts under the Lupragen® brand and PolyTHF®, which serves as a chemical building block for thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU), among other things.

About BASF’s Performance Materials division

BASF’s Performance Materials division encompasses the entire materials’ know-how of BASF regarding innovative, customized plastics under one roof. Globally active in four major industry sectors – transportation, construction, industrial applications and consumer goods – the division has a strong portfolio of products and services combined with deep understanding of application-oriented system solutions.
