This is another opportunity to submit propaganda for your favorite ships.

Ships with a strikethrough have propaganda submitted, I will continue to update this post as propaganda is submitted. I will accept further propaganda for ships with already submitted propaganda but please prioritize those with out.

The goal is to have propaganda for all ships but I understand that may not be possible. Therefore I will be leaving the form open for a few weeks to see if we receive propaganda for at least half the ships.

Take My Breath Away

Clextober23 Day 3 Annual Fall Festival

Here is the title song: Take My Breath Away (WLW)

SMUT 18+

Just a lil Meet-Cute that gets a little Spicy and ends in…

Clexa X Harlivy 

Clarke is dressed up as Harley Quinn 

Lexa is dressed up as Poison Ivy

(If you haven’t watched Harley Quinn the Animated 2019 Series you MUST! It’s sooo good the gays win in it! Harlivy stan!)

Read On Ao3

Word Count: 6,363

It's October Clarke Griffin's favorite month not only because it's her birthday month but because it's Halloween! Clarke has always loved Halloween. Her friends Raven and Octavia know that October is peak Party Griffin season and know she won't turn down a chance to dress up. Luckily there are tons of festivals and parties and clubs to attend. Clarke is full of excitement there is something in the air she just knows this will be a great October and she can’t wait to wear her Harley Quinn costume. She is an artist for the cartoon series and absolutely loves Harlivy and the show really favors them as well. Kaley Cuoco and Lake Bell play Harley and Ivy perfectly and she just loves how much they also love the relationship. She truly loves her job as an artist on the show and for the series-related comics. She has always loved the characters since 1993 when they first interacted on Batman the Animated Series. She loved comic books and animation as a kid and drawing those characters was her favorite thing to do as a kid and now she gets paid to do it.

>>

Lexa Woods is not a people person in fact she kind of hates most people. She thinks holidays are the worst because they all encourage wasteful consumerism. Her sister Anya, however, loves to party and refuses to let Lexa be a grump at home. The persuasion was difficult but Anya is a pro and told Lexa she could even dress up as one of her favorite nerdy comic book characters. Little did Anya know Lexa would pick a character that is basically just a green version of Lexa’s nerdy self. Lexa chose her career because of Poison Ivy. She got into Environmental Biology solely because of the 1993 animated series. Watching Poison Ivy be brilliant while being this untouchable goddess well it was everything Lexa wanted to be as a kid. Not to mention the Harley Ivy episode which made her realize she was so incredibly gay. Now as an adult, her inner child is happier than ever. There is a GAY animated series dedicated to Harlivy and comic series and she is actually helping the environment the way she always dreamed. Obviously, she had to dress up as Poison Ivy. 

>>>>

The Spooktacular Arkadia Festival is always fun but always crowded even on off days. The gang is navigating the crowd with ease though since this is their favorite event they know all the tricks to have the best time and experience everything the festival has to offer. The gang's all dressed up in DC characters to support Clarke's work and because they actually love the show! Raven is dressed as Bane which is no surprise to anyone since she “Loves Sploshions!” Of course, she has adjusted his costume slightly instead of a mask she painted her face. Octavia convinced her boyfriend that they are alternate reality Cat Woman and Bruce Wane/Batman where their races are reversed. Jasper and Monty are the Riddler and Clock King. Murphy is Clayface. Nathan is King Shark. As a group, they look amazingly nerdy and have been receiving compliments all night. Some people even recognized Clarke as an artist for the show and asked for her signature. They have gone through all the haunted houses and played all the games. Ate and drank everything pumpkin flavored and is currently headed for the haunted corn maze since the sun has finally set. 

>>

The maze is huge and full of creepy surprises around every corner. As the group gets farther into the dark maze the sounds of the festival become distanced and muted. The eerie sound of the wind through the corn stalks and distant screams surround the group. The calm before the storm.

“BOOM!” 

A loud crash of metal trash cans falling in their path has the groups scrambling and running from the “monsters”. It’s all fun and games until Raven sets off a smoke bomb making it impossible to see. The group gets separated as they cough and attempt to escape the chaos. Raven ends up with Octavia and Lincoln while Monty, Jasper, Nathan, and Murphy flee back the way they came in leaving Clarke alone in the dark maze. She doesn’t scare easily but it's definitely not as fun alone. She curses Raven under her breath; she should have known to check the Latina’s pockets before leaving Octavia’s house. 

Clarke decides she will outsmart all of the scare traps and sneak around rustling the corn to scare other groups. She is lurking around when she sees a woman standing alone looking down at her phone.

Bright red hair is illuminated by the blue light of her phone screen. Clarke can’t help but soak in every detail of the woman in front of her. Well as best as she can in the dim lighting. Green tights with elaborate vines stitched up the sides making long legs seem like they go on forever. Black Doc Marines give the woman some height making her taller than Clarke by just the right amount that Clarke's thoughts drift to how perfectly her head could rest on the woman's shoulder. She shakes her head trying not to lose herself but it has just been forever since she’s felt any kind of way about anyone let alone a stranger, a beautiful stranger. The black jacket the woman wears hugs her thin but toned frame perfectly and Clarke doesn’t miss the tiny details of stitched green stripes. This woman is perfectly dressed as her Ivy. Clarke can’t help herself and takes a few steps forward, the hay on the ground crunching beneath her makes the other woman fully turn to face her. 

Wow is all Clarke can think of as she takes in the jawline of the woman and her delicate features. Her eyes she thinks may be a gray color but it’s too dark to tell. All Clarke knows is this woman is absolutely stunning and she can’t stop staring. Luckily it seems the woman is also awe-struck by Clarke.

>>

Lexa is shocked and stunned beyond belief. When she heard footsteps she had been hoping it was Anya. Never in her life was she so grateful that it wasn’t her sister. It took her maybe a second to recognize the woman in front of her. Lexa thought she must be dreaming. There was no way Clarke Griffin, one of her favorite illustrators, was standing in front of her in the middle of a corn maze. Not only standing there but staring at Lexa like she was a work of art or something. All while dressed up as her favorite version of Harley Quinn. The red and black Converse and knee-high socks. The incredibly short black and red shorts hugged thick muscular thighs. The cropped tight red and black top presented ample cleavage in the most incredible way. Her makeup was done with the classic blue eyeshadow on one lid and pink on the other to match the dyed ends of her pigtails one pink and one blue. She looked incredible. It truly didn’t help that Lexa already had a deep appreciation for Clarke Griffin the artist and Harley Quinn the character. The combination in front of her was everything and if she wanted to believe in love at first sight this would be it for her. 

Somehow Lexa seemed to pull herself out of her head and use her words. Unfortunately, her words were just as embarrassing as her staring. “Wow, you’re Clarke Griffin! You’re even prettier in real life-oh my god-not that you are not pretty in photos and videos! Not in a creepy way, I'm a fan of your art! Oh my god LEXA shut up!” 

Lexa managed to stop rambling for a second just long enough for an amused Clarke to smile at her. “Lexa, was it?”

Lexa nodded. Clarke smiled wider “Lexa, take a deep breath you are as red as your hair.”

Lexa nodded once more and gave Clarke a shy smile that made it hard for Clarke to focus on anything other than the other woman's plump lips. Lexa took a deep breath and decided to attempt to salvage the situation. “I’m sorry. Gawd I just talked at you. I am so sorry.”

Clarke smirked “I thought it was kind of cute, actually. The costume suits your body and your personality it seems.”

Lexa could feel the heat rise on her cheeks all the way to her ears. DID CLARKE GRIFFIN JUST FLIRT WITH HER! Pull it together!

Lexa bit her bottom lip as she let her gaze travel Clarke’s body down and then back up to meet intense blue eyes. “Your costume seems to fit you perfectly as well.”

Clarke tilted her head with a grin. “Is Poison Ivy flirtin’ with lil old me, Harley Quinn?”

Clarke teased trying her best to mimic the character's voice. Lexa swallowed hard this woman might be the death of her. Lexa took a step closer now standing toe to toe. Only a few inches between them “Maybe I am.” Lexa Husked. 

Clarke’s knees buckled but before she could trip Lexa reached out grabbing both her hands in hers.

Something was in the air, a sort of magical feeling like this was destiny or fate that they just happened to meet here and now like this. There was a magnetic pull between them that they could both feel. There was no denying the attraction it was written all over their faces. It filled the air around them with an eclectic buzz. 

Clarke leaned up and Lexa leaned down. Their lips brushed with a tingling spark in a soft kiss. Lexa moved her hands to wrap around Clarke’s waist to pull her flush against her as she sucked on Clarke’s bottom lip lightly. Clarke tangled her hands in thick red hair as she matched Lexa’s lips and melted into their bodies being flush against each other. 

The feel of Lexa's warm soft hands caressing the skin of her lower back made her dizzy. Clarke forgot where they were and that this woman was basically a stranger. But this felt too right to care. Clarke licked at Lexa’s bottom lip and Lexa met her with her own tongue making Clarke let out a soft hum of a moan. She tugged harder on red hair. She needed more of this woman. 

They both needed so much more. 

"BOOM!"

They both jumped at the sound and looked around while holding each other. Lights flashed in the row over and screams followed. 

The moment seemed to bring them back to reality. "We should probably get out of this maze," Lexa said.

Clarke nodded in agreement "I lost my friends because my idiot best friend set off a smoke bomb."

"That was your friend? I lost my sister because of the smoke."

"Yeah, Raven is really into explosions. She's actually dressed as Bane and my friends are all dressed as DC characters."

"That is amazing! I'd love to meet them. I'm a huge fan of the show. I've loved Harley and Ivy since I was a kid."

"They will love your costume. Me too, was it the 1993 animated series for you too?" 

"Of course! It was so gay without being gay!" Lexa said happily. 

"Ugh, I know right? I'm so happy Harlivy is a real thing now!" 

“Right it has taken ages of teasing the couple for it to actually fully happen and your show does it so well! For once the problem in the queer relationship isn’t homophobia it’s that they are both troubled and complex characters. I love the way they are not perfect but constantly strive to be the best versions of themselves for the other and how much love they have for each other. I’m sorry I’m rambling. I just love the show, and your art is incredible!”

Clarke couldn’t contain her smile, the conversation was light and natural and she honestly didn’t want to stop talking to this woman. Lexa seemed to feel the same if her excitement for the conversation was any indication. 

Fuck Lexa was adorable when she rambled and it took everything in Clarke not to pull at the collar of the woman's jacket and crash their lips together once more. “Don’t apologize. I love seeing people love the show as much as I do. Plus, you are really cute when you ramble.”

The blush that crept up Lexa’s neck was priceless. Clarke really couldn’t help herself now. She grabbed the collar of Lexa’s jacket and quickly pulled her down into a kiss. Their lips fit so damn perfectly. Clarke didn't let it last; she couldn't start something here. "Let's get out of here."

Lexa blinked as Clarke straightened her jacket and released it. Lexa was in awe of this woman. She quickly took Clarke’s hand making the blonde glance at their joined hands. Her blue eyes were light when her gaze traveled back to meet Lexa’s. The smiles that took over both of their faces as Clarke squeezed Lexa’s hand and interlaced their fingers could have lit the entire cornfield if this was a cartoon. 

Lexa reached into her pocket for her phone and pulled up Google Maps again. Clarke took Lexa’s phone in her free hand. “This is cheating, Lexa.” She teased. 

“No. Hey! What are you-” Clarke interrupted her “I’m texting myself so I don’t lose you if we get separated.”

Clarke closed Google Maps and observed the background with a smile finding Harlivy art. She recognized the picture, the two characters were lying in some greenery holding hands and lovingly gazing at each other. Lexa could not get any more adorable. She quickly opened the text app and typed in her number and typed a message to herself. She hit send and pulled maps back up then handed the phone back. 

Lexa looked at the map and then around “This way looks fastest.”

“Lead the way, Red.”

Lexa laughed, “This is not my natural color.”

“No! You’re telling me you don’t have fire truck red hair, naturally?”

Lexa bumped her shoulder against Clarke’s laughing lightly as she said, “fuck you.”

“Buy me a drink first.”

“Okay, what are you drinking?” Lexa said, tugging Clarke faster towards the exit of the maze. 

Clarke couldn’t stop her laughter if she tried. They made it out of the maze faster than Clarke thought was possible and wow was it attractive to watch a determined Lexa lead the way. Lexa led them to one of the drink stands and Clarke smiled. “What would you like to drink?” 

“I was joking, Lexa. You don’t have to buy me a drink.”

Lexa smiled dorkily. “I know but I want to even if it’s just a drink and conversation.” 

“You are something else. Seriously, how are you so cute and sexy at the same time?”

“I’m a woman of many talents.”

“I bet you are.” Clarke bit her bottom lip, unable to stop her mind from wandering to naughty places. 

“What can I get you ladies?” The cashier interrupted their silent eye contact.

Lexa broke eye contact first smiling at the guy behind the counter. “Oh hi, um can I get the Pumpkin Spooktacular dark brew, please? And whatever this beautiful woman-” Clarke interrupted Lexa softly, “I’ll have the same thing.”

Lexa smiled at Clarke then looked back at the guy as he asked “Anything else?”

She looked back to Clake who shook her head. “That’s it, thanks.” 

Lexa paid and they got their adorable pumpkin-flavored coffees and found an empty table under one of the trees that was decorated with sparking lights. Lexa is quick to pull out Clarke’s chair and then sit next to her. Clarke can’t handle how Lexa is treating her. It has been far too long since she's even just had a one-night stand let alone been on a date and this feels like a date. No, it felt like more than just a date. It felt like they were already girlfriends and this was just a cute Saturday date night. It all just felt so comfy, familiar, and right. She felt like she could get used to this. She sipped her coffee and sighed at the warmth and tasted happy she got something warm. The cool night air was starting to get to her exposed skin. 

Lexa watched Clarke trying to soak in the comfortable feelings of ease the blonde gave her. She honestly felt like she must be dreaming. There was no way this was her life. Clarke Griffin is sitting across from her happily sipping on a pumpkin-flavored coffee. Face illuminated by the twinkling lights that seemed to make blue eyes sparkle. She was in awe of the woman before her. 

Clarke held her drink in both hands and had been glancing around but she felt eyes on her and smiled when her gaze met intense green orbs. Wow was all she could think. She had never seen green eyes like Lexa’s before. They are the kind of green that changes hues in different lighting and, gawd the twinkle lights made them shine like the sun on a lake the reflection of lush green trees surrounding the water. Clarke couldn't stop the shiver that ran up her spine. 

“Are you cold?”

Clarke cleared her thoughts as she returned to earth. “Oh, uhm, a little but this is helping. Thank you.”

“It’s colder than I thought it was going to be and I’m wearing more clothes than you here.”

Lexa got up removed her jacket and draped it over Clarke’’s shoulders.

Clarke despite herself sunk into the warmth the jacket offered and the sweet woodsy scent that was so very Lexa. She couldn’t help her smile even as she said. “I can’t take your jacket.”

Lexa could almost melt seeing the beautiful woman melt into her jacket and smile at her. “It looks good on you.”

“Not as good as you.” 

Clarke flushed as Lexa peered down at her from her standing position. She knows the angle gives Lexa a perfect view of her boobs. Lexa doesn’t even try to hide the fact that she’s staring. Clarke is definitely warm now. 

Lexa forces her gaze back up to meet those mesmerizing blue orbs. “You are so beautiful, Clarke.” 

Clarke is a fairly confident woman who has grown to love her curves and womanly figure but Lexa is all lean fit muscle with delicate yet sharp facial features. Clarke is pretty sure Lexa is the most gorgeous woman she has ever had the pleasure to lay eyes on. Hearing Lexa so genuinely compliment her is too much. She grabs the hand that still lingers on her shoulder and pulls lightly. Luckily Lexa gets the hint and leans down to kiss Clarke. It feels far too intimate but also so natural. They keep it short and Lexa returns to her seat. Clarke grabs the chair and scoots Lexa to be tucked in closer to her and leans into the warmth and comfort. They observe the crowd in a comfortable silence watching teenagers scream and laugh. Observing awkward first dates and seeing families smile for pictures. The atmosphere is something out of a Hallmark movie. It’s the cheesy annual Halloween Festival regardless of how cheesy it all is Clarke and Lexa soak up every last bit of it. They have some casual conversation and sip their delicious drinks before a loud group is heard calling their names. Clarke looks around to see her friends wandering about looking for her. Clarke looks back to Lexa “I take it that is your sister walking with her arm over my friend Raven's shoulder.” 

Lexa glances over to the group and smiles “Wow, you weren’t kidding all your friends are dressed as DC characters! They look awesome!”

“I don’t joke about my friends' enthusiasm.” Clarke Laughed. 

“That’s my sister alright, it seems Anya has her sight set on your friend. Wait, that's my cousin Lincoln with the short brunette.”

“Raven looks like a smitten kitten! Damn, how are all the people in your family so attractive?”

Lexa snorts out a laugh that is downright adorable. It makes Clarke want to keep her forever. 

The group hasn’t noticed them yet and Raven keeps yelling both their names. “Should we run and hide or?” Clarke teased.

“You can have me all to yourself later, Clarke.” 

Fucking hell Clarke really loves the way Lexa says her name. Clarke licks and then bites her bottom lips softly. Dropping her voice an octave to whisper huskily, “You promise?”

Lexa swallows the lump in her suddenly dry throat. “If you want. I will follow you anywhere.”

Lexa has never been more confident in her feelings towards another. She thinks maybe she was always meant to find and love this woman. Clarke seems to be feeling something similar with the way she’s visibly swooning. Clarke leans in close to Lexa and softly presses their foreheads together, their lips are almost touching. “Damn, you’re going to be the death of me.” Clarke husked. 

Before Clarke could say or do anything else Lexa closed the space between them softly capturing a top lip right where that adorable beauty mark is. Clarke automatically melted into the kiss sucking lightly on Lexa’s plump bottom lip. Hands tangled into thick red hair. While slender fingers rested on pale thighs. 

To anyone who didn’t know they would assume the two were a long-time couple. Unfortunately, the people who noticed were all too aware that the two were not dating. Raven whistled at them as the rest of the group cheered. The loud group made them part from their kiss but Clarke tugged lightly at the curls on the back of Lexa’s neck. “You better keep your promise.”

Lexa squeezed Clarke’s thigh “I never break a promise.”

The two detangled from each other just in time for the group to get to them. Anya is the first to say something “You ditched me in the maze to make out with a girl?”

“I didn’t ditch you. I lost you in the smoke.” Lexa turned to Raven “Thanks for that by the way, Raven.”

Raven smirked, “I see Clarke has told you about her awesome step-sister/mom!”

“Oh my god Raven shut up you can’t be my step-sister and stepmom!”

“I can’t help the fact your mom is hot Griffin.”

“Oh you have a thing for older women do you?” Anya lifted her brow at Raven. 

“Uh yeah, have you seen yourself!” Raven smirked. 

“Raven cut it out, we haven't even properly met Lexa yet.” Octavia tried.

Raven rolled her eyes at her friend. “Your boyfriend's cousins are going to have to learn how to deal with this madness if they want to be part of the group.” 

Lexa and Lincoln waved to each other silently observing the friends. Octavia rolled her eyes right back “Just because Anya seems to like you doesn’t mean you get to act insane.”

“Oh, you like me, cheekbones?”

“I never said that.”

“But you didn’t not say it either.”

Nathan spoke up “Can we be introduced so we can continue the fun?”

Clarke smiled at Nathan and grabbed Lexa’s hand. She stood up leading Lexa to stand next to her “Everyone this is Lexa!”

Lexa waved “Hi!”

“You know Raven now and your cousin's girlfriend is Octavia.”

Both girls waved at Lexa. “You can call me O. Everyone does.” 

“Nice to finally meet you O. I have heard a lot about you. My cousin is mad about you.”

Clarke pointed at the two guys holding hands, “That's Jasper and Monty.” She pointed to the other two, “That's Nathan and that's Murphy.” 

“It’s nice to meet you all. I love the costumes!”

The group all greeted Lexa with open arms appreciating her costume and nerding out with her about the show and characters. It made Clarke dizzy with what she could only call affection for the woman. She fit in so perfectly! Honestly Lincoln and Anya seemed to fit in as well and something about it all just seemed like it was written in the stars. The whole group seemed to feel it too. 

The night air was crisp, the company was perfect, and the place was everything. The last activity was always the group's favorite. They reserved a private firepit and always got the s'mores package deal. This year they reserved early enough to get a lake-side pit and it was worth every cent. 

The firepit was lit for them by an employee and they gathered around the cozy fire. The light illuminated the shore. Clarke pulled Lexa over to one of the benches and gave her back her jacket. “It looks so much better on you and really completes your outfit.”

“I will only take this back if you let me keep you warm.”

“Oh, that was the plan, Lex.”

Clarke snuggles into Lexa grabbing her arm to drape around her. They shared s’mores and laughs and the best conversations. The group took a bunch of pictures and before they knew it the night was coming to an end. The witching hour had come and it was time to go but Lexa and Clarke didn’t want the night to end here. The group split off into their different cars. No one was surprised to see Anya and Raven leave together and so no one even questioned when Clarke left with Lexa.

The drive to Lexa’s was filled with an electric anticipation in the air. They both felt it. Lexa drove faster than usual but was still careful. Lexa placed a hand lightly on Clarke's thigh. It was too much and not enough for Clarke so she slid her hands around Lexa’s and held it in her lap. It’s comfy, familiar even but more than that it’s electric. 

They arrived at Lexa’s apartment complex and only disconnected long enough for Lexa to get out and walk around to Clarke’s door. She opened it and offered Clarke her hand which Clarke happily took.

They walked close, fingers interlaced and locked. The elevator ride up was silent but again so comfortable and normal. Lexa led the way unlocking her door and ushering them both inside. She shut and locked the door behind them, never letting go of Clarke’s hand. Clarke stayed basically attached to Lexa’s side as she took in the spacious open apartment. Lexa squeezed her hand “Well this is basically it. Would you like some water?”

“It’s beautiful. Yes, please.”

Lexa guided them into the open kitchen. She turned to face Clarke fully. She was going to ask her something else but was distracted by those eyes and then by the slightest movement just a few inches lower. She watched helplessly as Clarke licked her lips and then she snapped her gaze back up to meet dilated pupils. Lexa couldn't help but lick her own lips and Clarke noticed right away. 

Clarke is quick to pull Lexa in and kiss those ridiculously soft lips. Her hands tangle into Lexa’s hair and Lexa finds her balance by holding Clarke’s hips. She presses the blonde into the counter of the island and it makes them both groan. Lexa moves her hands lower and hooks them around soft thighs. She lifts the blonde with ease and sets her on the countertop. A sound escapes Clarke that is delicious and Lexa is desperate to hear more. The cool stone under Clarke does nothing to ease the heat surging through her entire body. 

Clarke wraps her legs around Lexa and pulls her flush against her. She pulls strong shoulders to get those lips back on hers. They moan into the kiss as their bodies are tightly fitted together. Lexa’s hands are on silky thighs massaging the firm muscles there. Clarke can’t help but move her hips in a sad attempt to get friction but they are so tightly pressed she can barely move. It fills her with need and she pulls off Lexa’s jacket then her shirt then her bra. Lexa quickly catches up unclasping the tight top that somehow supports Clarke’s ample breasts. She pulls the straps down slowly and moves her kisses to follow as more silky smooth skin gets revealed. Clarke throws her head back in a moan when lips ghost down her neck and collar bones and teeth scrape the soft sensitive skin. “You smell so good, can I taste you?”

“Please!”

“I like that word on your lips.”

“Fuck please, Lexa!”

“Oh, that’s even better. Fuck Clarke say my name again.”

“Lexa!”

Clarke didn’t expect the brunette to be so talkative but fuck if it wasn’t making her so much wetter than she’d ever been before from someone just talking. Lexa trails her tongue down Clarke’s neck stopping at the crook and sucking lightly. “You taste so good.”

“Fuck Lexa!”

“Can I kiss your breasts?”

“Gawd yes!” 

Clarke arches her back pushing her exposed chest out. Lexa kisses down the center and palms both full breasts in her hands. They fit perfectly and feel gloriously heavy in her slender hands. 

She runs her thumbs over stiff nipples making them stiffer. She kisses around each one and then finally wraps her lips around a stiff bud and lightly runs her tongue over it. She pinches the other as she begins to suck and bite the nipple in her mouth. She moans at the taste and Clarke moans at the feeling. Images of that mouth and tongue lower make her clit throb. Lexa is lost devouring Clarke’s beautiful breasts. Until she feels Clarke leaning back. She reluctantly detached herself from Clarke’s chest to look at her worried she did something wrong. “Are you okay?”

Clarke stops and grabs Lexa’s face “More than okay. I just need these off.”

She moved her hands to her shorts. Lexa bit her bottom lip “I need those off too, here lay back.”

Lexa guided Clarke to lie on the cool stone; it made Clarke shiver and that caused her breasts to bounce. Lexa is so thankful for gravity. Green eyes are intense as her gaze rolls down. Lexa hooks her fingers into the waistband of tight shorts and pulls them down. She takes a deep shuddered breath when she discovers nothing underneath but slick wet skin. “Oh wow, Clarke!”

“It’s all because of you.”

“Mmm in that case is it all mine to taste?”

Clarke whimpers at the thought of the deep raspy neediness of Lexa’s voice. “Fuck, Lexa yes.”

Lexa quickly lowers herself and wastes no time. Her lips press against Clarke’s clit and she is instantly addicted to the taste and rushes to get more enthusiastically licking and sucking. She can’t get enough; she explores and makes some of the most vulgar sounds as she fully loses herself in the taste and feel. 

“Fuck! Lexa OH! Slow down. You’re going to make me cum AH!”

Lexa doesn’t ease up, Clarke's words encourage her. 

Lexa hums and then whispers hotly “You taste so good, Clarke.”   

The combination of heated breath and vibrations has Clarke trembling. “Mmm So, Fucking, Good.”

Lexa latches on with more pressure sucking and it sends Clarke barreling over the edge. “IM CU UH AH AH FUCK Oh FUCK LEXA!”

Lexa doesn’t let up as Clarke’s legs tremble forcing Clarke to pull her up by her hair. “Jesus Lexa!”

“I can’t help it, Clarke. I could do that all day. I love your pussy.”

“I love your tongue but fuck I need to feel and taste you too.”

Clarke sits up and wraps her arms around Lexa and Lexa follows along wrapping her arms around Clarke. She picks her up, almost losing her mind at how wet pussy presses against her abs as her legs wrap around her tightly. She takes them to her bedroom. She lays Clarke down but the blonde keeps her locked in her embrace pulling Lexa down on top of her. She flips them over and straddles Lexa’s hips. “You are far too dressed.”

Clarke moves to stand and pulls Lexa’s Leggings off. She licks and bites her lip when her gaze falls to the little green lace that is soaked through. She takes a shaky breath “Ffuuck, Lex.”

She is quick to remove the lace and even quicker to kiss up long smooth legs. “Gawd your legs!” 

Clarke bites and sucks at inner thighs coaxing whimpers from the woman below her. “I love the little sounds you're making. Be louder for me.”

She moved her kisses up and sank into the taste of Lexa. She had never tasted anyone so divine. Lexa moaned louder as Clarke explored. “Fuck! Clarke!”

Clarke hummed against her and repeated the actions that had Lexa unraveling underneath her. She quickly found the right pressure to make long legs tremble and relentlessly repeated it until Lexa arched off the bed “Oh Fuck! Oh MY FuCkInG CLARKE! YES!” 

Clarke couldn’t get enough and Lexa had to tug her up by the hair just like she had done earlier to her. Clarke happily laid over Lexa pressing their bodies together. They both moved in for a kiss and moaned at the combined taste. Their bodies were far from sated; they needed more. More of each other. More of this moment. More. 

Clarke moved her legs to slot with Lexa's. Lexa adjusted and pressed her thigh up between Clarke's legs. She moaned at the feel of just how wet Clarke was. "You like this? Do you feel how wet I am? I'm dripping down your thigh." 

"I love it! Gawd Clarke, it's so hot."

Clarke moved her thigh to press against Lexa and sighed out a shaky breath. "Fuck Lex." 

Clarke held herself up slightly to look down between them. "You're so fucking wet! Can I?"

She adjusted her position and hovered her own pussy just above Lexa's. Lexa looked down and swallowed hard. "Please!"

Lexa grabbed Clarke's hips and pulled her down. They both moaned at the contact. Their hips moved slowly. Slick filthy wet noise filled the room. "Fuck Lexa! Can you cum like this?" 

"I could cum just watching you, Clarke."

Clarke smirked as she pressed into Lexa. "It's my boobs, isn't it? I knew you were a boob girl."

"I mean you have gorgeous breasts but Clarke it's all of you."

Lexa's gaze traveled over every inch of Clarke's body. Green landed on deep blue and they stayed locked. Lexa bucked her hips up slowly. Clarke matched her movements. "It's all of you too, Lexa. Gawd I think you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen!"

Their hips bucked harder. "Fuck, Clarke!"

"Yes faster!"

Hips bucked, breasts bounced, skin glistened. It was just enough to have them both unraveling quickly. It wasn't enough. Clarke groaned as she came. Contracting around nothing. "Please Lex, I need more!"

Lexa quickly flipped Clarke over and hovered over her. "What do you need, Clarke?" 

She trailed her fingers down down down. "I need those fingers inside me. I need my fingers inside of you."

Clarke snaked her hand between them and didn't wait for Lexa. Her fingers slid into Lexa with ease. 

"Fuck! Clarke!"

Lexa's arm buckled and she lost her balance. She fell beside Clarke. "Shit sorry! Fuck!"

Clarke let out a soft laugh and moved to lie on her side facing Lexa. "Come here." 

Clarke scooted closer leaning in for a kiss. Lexa happily met her lips. Clarke took Lexa's hand and guided it to her hip and then between them. Lexa bit Clarke's bottom lip and sucked on it as she took control of her hand sliding her fingers through slick folds. She circled Clarke's clit softly and it made her shiver. "Don't tease me please, I need you inside." 

Lexa couldn't help but obey. She pressed her fingertips softly to her tight entrance and could feel Clarke pull her in. "Fuck, Lex!"

Lexa leaned in for another kiss and swallowed Clarke's moans as she curled her fingers and pressed her palm against Clarke's clit. Clarke snaked her own hand between them and slid her fingers into Lexa curling them the same as Lexa's and pressing her palm against her clit. She kept her palm in place and curled her fingers staying mostly inside timing the spongy front wall. Lexa mirrored the movements of Clarke as Clarke captured plump lips once again. The kisses got messier as moans escaped them. Teeth scraped against lips until all they could do was moan against each other's lips hot breath filling the space between them. 

The sound of their movements was porn worthy. They were both so wet so close to cuming. Each press of fingers just made more wet squelches. 

"Fuck Lex I'm gonna cum! Cum with me?"

"Yes fuck yes! Oh Clarke!"

"Ah, Lex! Lex! Yes ah ah!"

Walls contracted and gushes of slick heat spilled over palms and thighs. Finally sated at least for the moment exhaustion settled between them. They lazily kissed slow and sweet. They pressed their foreheads together and sighed contently. “We should rinse off.”

“We should but I can’t move.” Big blue eyes pouted.

Lexa got up and quickly picked up the blonde and carried her to the shower. They rinsed off and languidly kissed. They took turns washing each other softly and did the same as they dried off. Lexa removed the comforter that was soaked and grabbed a clean one. “Do you want a shirt and shorts?”

“No. I need you to feel you. Have you close.”

“Same.”

Lexa helped Clarke into bed and snuggled into her. They both felt the exhaustion settle in their bones tired yawns and slow breaths were lulling them to sleep. 

It was the most blissful sleep either of them had ever experienced. It would become the only way they could sleep. Wrapped up in each other. That’s the thing about soulmates once you find your person everything changes. Fall would have a whole new special place in Clarke’s heart. Another reason to love it. Lexa too. The Spooktacular Arkadia Festival would remain a tradition for them, their children, and their grandchildren. Soulmates in this little life and in so many others. Forever Clexa lives on. <3

25 please

25. Give us a tattoo tour!

I'll give a tour of one arm for this one in case someone else asks too :)

Pardon the paint on a couple, I’m mid project 😂

This one is one of my favourite tattoos. The artist was so amazing to work with (and I hope to work with him again!). I told him my vision and he delivered on my tarot card style with a play on the death card but instead a reminder that I'm still here (also kind of joke based on one scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

This was a flash my regular artist had on her 'poisons plants' sheet. Is it kind of a fandom tattoo? a little bit. But also monkshood/wolf's bane is just pretty.

Based on Hozier's lyric "no grave can hold my body down, I crawl home to her"

Idk I just like this one and I drew up a very shitty version and my artist is amazing and she make it beautiful.

Kaylo Crescendo's Court of Children

(This is a DIFFERENT Kaylo. Not the one from my Balan Wonderworld stories)

So, I had this idea in my head for a while now, and it involves Kaylo, and the idea of her having a court, since she's the ruler of a kingdom. This however is no ordinary court. This consists of various children from throughout the Multiverse. So, I'm gonna list them out here.

Rules of the Court:

Any Child that joins the court MUST be at or under 16 years old (it's the Court of CHILDREN. Not teens or adults.)

The only people that know about the Court HAVE to be close to said Child (parents, close friends, family) other than that it's a complete secret (at least from mortals)

All kids in the court must take the "Immortal Promise" (A special pinkie Promise like ritual that ensures that a child freezes in the aging process. They can not, and WILL not age, as long as they have this promise

KEEP IN MIND! The list isn't complete, and more names will be added, so don't be surprised if the list looks longer

Kaylo's Court of Children and Kids

No kingdom is complete without a Court. And this is no exception with the pink haired ruler of Rhythm Heaven. Of course, this is no ordinary court. This court consists of the many children that exist around the Multiverse, that have all taken "The Immortal Promise", a promise that ensures that they live as long as Kaylo does, and still retain their youth

[mable-stitchpunk]

The new chapter is so much fun! While the books are the bane of my existence, there are a few fun stories. I always love it when you incorporate pieces of them into your world. (I also think you do it much more effectively than canon does). I also very much enjoy Monty and Louise!

Now since I have confirmation you've seen a bit of Ruin, I'll go ahead and ask:

What do you think of how the animatronics were handled/new information that we were given? I'm most curious about a certain "retired" bass player and our out of this world daycare attendent, but I think your opinions in all would be interesting as well!

Thanks for years of an awesome series!

Excellent! 8D That's great to hear! I don't have the best opinion of the books, but I love getting chances to work in characters from them and do stuff with 'em. Not sure why. XD

I have mixed feelings. Spoilers to anyone reading this!

-

-

So, I feel like some characters got a nice boost. Roxanne definitely shined with this addition, even if her sudden 'nice' streak seemed a little surprising. It definitely makes her a much more likeable character, so I appreciate that.

While I like the Eclipse, I feel like the daycare section was a little... weird. It feels kind of like it was just shoved in and rushed through, and because of that it sort of feels like they replaced two interesting characters with one nicer but... less interesting character? Eclipse is fine I mean, but they could've at least given him, like, something a little more juicy to work with.

Monty got butchered. Rip Monty's personality or redeemability.

Chica kinda was just there, but she was effectively gross.

Now, as for the former bassist, I DO think he was covered the best. In fact, I felt more of an emotional impact with everything surrounding him than I did with anything else in the dlc. Including the Roxy fakeout. There's just something so disturbing and terribly sad about his situation. Plus the insight onto his and Freddy's relationship was... utterly tragic.

Plus, when it comes to Home, I'm glad to finally get a canon description of what Bonnie looks like. XD Not saying he's ever coming back, but I don't need to tiptoe around describing him anymore.

❤️ Roxy and monty

❤️ (Red heart) for a romantic ship!

This is such an under used ship it should be a crime. Come on, they're so good! They're an amazing example of rivals to lovers!

Literally, these two go from hating each other and the ifea that the other one could beat them, to loving the challenge and hanging out all the damn time. Like, the competition is their love language!

Over time, they stop being such sore losers whenever the other one wins, but get even more mad if anyone else beats them. No one should be able to beat them but each other! They're the most equally matched in almost everything, with Roxy excelling at the racecourse and mechanical skills while Monty excels at mini golf and improvised construction. Roxy breaks golf clubs in frustration while Monty is convinced screeching tyres means the go-kart is going at top speed and not slowing him down at all. If they team up in anything they obliterate the competition. Like, no one else has ever stood a chance and for that, they're no longer allowed to team up.

They share a braincell sometimes too and with their powers combined, they can reduce the Plex to rubble and get away with it if so desired. They have similar senses of humour and have in-jokes from here to the Arctic and they also share a lot of the same problems. Both of them are seen as replacements for well loved band members and both of them have some sort of anger issues. Where, Monty will rip apart his room, Roxy will primarily target staffbots for stress relief, and sometimes, they'll just join each other in the destruction as a form of shared rage at their circumstances. Sometimes they'll get their energy out with a fight or some hyper competitive game of some sort. That's the origin of fight night. It was originally just another way to vent at each other but over time, they started to do it for fun too or to settle some sort of debate instead of an argument.

Despite everything they have in common, they'd both laughed at the mere suggestion they could be a thing. Like hell were they falling for that dumbass best friend of theirs! They would never! That's ridiculous!

The denial is huge. Even as they start to realise that maybe they do have feelings, neither of them will accept it without a fight. It scares both of them to think that what they have could ever change into something more or that it could be lost forever if their feelings aren't reciprocated. The anger that comes with it is probably one of the hardest to deal with too. They can't go to each other to wind down and get it out of their systems because guess what! It's all about them and it's not their fault! And that just makes them angrier!

When Monty realises he has feelings, Roxy becomes the absolute bane of his existence. He wants some space but he doesn't want to make it obvious he's mad at her because he knows it'll upset her and she'll demand to know what she did so he's just trying to avoid her. She's not very easy to avoid and she can be very physically affectionate when she's not feeling like a powder keg about to explode or a sad ball of mush so yeah Monty is REALLY struggling, even when he stops avoiding her. His internal monologue for a while just becomes "GOD FUCKING HELL STOP BEING SO STUPIDLY CUTE STOP STOP STOP STOP YOU ASSHOLE YOU PIECE OF SHIT YOU'RE ADORABLE STOOOOPPP NO NO WHY ARE YOU BEING SO COOL NOW OH MY GOD WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS YOU BITCH" He's just so mad about how he feels about her. When he finally accepts it, he's still mad about it he just stops trying to avoid her. Eventually he makes little attempts to try and win her over. Little things that the ordinary person probably wouldn't notice, but he's trying so hard here an he doesn't think she's even noticed and oh god please tell him he's not obvious at all oh god help him

When Roxy realises she has feelings she's actually in denial for a lot longer. She gets put into like, four timeouts a week because if she doesn't stop breaking staffbots, they're going to run out how is she breaking thousands of these things this fucking quickly what the fuck?! And of course, the timeouts make her even more angry and it's a vicious circle until she actually sits down on her own or with DJ or someone and talks about it. It's a very, very long conversation. The idea of having feelings for someone scares her and the idea of Monty or anyone ever finidng out scares her even more. And you know what's even worse about the timeouts where they lock this ball ball of lightning energy into a small room? Monty is there, every single time, right outside her window, trying to cheer her up. Every. Single. Time. DJ thinks this is the sweetest thing he's ever heard but also thinks they're both the biggest fucking idiots known to man. He chooses not to ask why Monty doesn't just find a photopass to let her out of her room. He gets the feeling neither of them have thought about that yet and he's kinda curious how long it will take. When she does finally accept that yeah, she may have feelings for Monty, DJ gives her a round of applause but she's still mad about it. She doesn't want feelings for anyone least of all him! How does she turn them off? How does she stop them? She learns very quickly that it doesn't work that way and DJ and the Minis spend several nights with her while she sulks about how doomed she is. Like Monty, she starts doing little things for him too and won't admit how much it means to her when Monty does things for her to anyone but one very specific Mini who always seems to be around at the time.

I'm not sure if any of this would come across very clearly to anyone else though. Maybe the occasional suspicion when they get a bit too friendly with each other but nothing concrete. If they ever find out, they're pleasantly surprised I think, but also it would be really funny if everyone else knew the entire time and the reason they didn't tell anyone about their feelings was because they can't stand the thought of everyone saying "I told you so." I feel like no matter what, if they ever get together, it's gonna be in secret for a long while at the very least due to them being nervous about how it'll be recieved but if everyone had said they were clearly in love? It's never happening. Not over their dead bodies. If anyone but whoever Roxy and Monty confided in before they got together find out about them, it's purely because they were caught being extra cuddly on a date or something. They're sworn to secrecy which works unless it's Chica who ran off to tell everyone before she could swear to anything. They're mortified at being caught oh noes they thought they were sneakier than this :(

Oh you know how I think they'd confess? With an argument. I think neither of them would have the balls to say a word about how they feel unless it's in the heat of the moment and when's the best time to angrily tell someone you love them? An argument! They're both arguing over something actually serious to them and at some point they're like "WHY DO YOU EVEN CARE?!" "BECAUSE I LOVE YOU YA FUCKING IDIOT" "YEAH WELL I FUCKING LOVE YOU TOO DUMBASS WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS" and the argument continues, neither realising what they've said until they're ranting about it to someone else. Both of them realising what was said and bailing from the conversation to go and find each other, the argument long forgotten as they ask each other if they meant it, like if they really meant it. They're both extremely awkward about it, hugging each other and stuttering for long enough they both give up and just laugh at the situation but despite that awkwardness, they're smiling like no tomorrow.

After a long and very much fumbled conversation, they nervously decide to give a romantic relationship a try but not to tell anyone until they're absolutely sure this is what they want. It is, they both make each other extremely happy and the time until they tell everyone once they're comfortable with the change is spent wondering what they can get away with in front of everyone without anyone suspecting or mentioning anything. They have fun with that.

Anyway, this is a very long post now but listen, there's a lot to say about them! Honestly, if I were to write a ship fic that wasn't Pupcakes focused, it would probably include this ship, maybe on it's own or maybe in a polycule situation. Either way, they're so good and it's a crime no one gives them much attention

 “your cheeks are really soft.” “stop squishing them!” + diet soda!

i love them sooo bad

+

Dana loved her boys, she really did, but they were probably the most annoying group of people she'd ever met in her entire life. And that was saying something because she grew up surrounded by her younger siblings and cousins.

She was trying to spend their day off sleeping, so of course her bandmates refused to allow her to do so.

Someone was sitting on her legs, probably Moe, and someone else was holding her cheeks, moving her head back and forth. Definitely Monty.

"Is she awake yet?" Paul asked.

"She is now," Dana grumbled, peeling her eyes open to send them all a dirty look. "Get off of me."

Moe got up from where he was in fact sitting on her legs, but, of course, Monty didn't let go of her because he was Monty and the bane of her existence.

"Your cheeks are really soft," he noted, pressing them so hard he gave her fish lips. Thankfully, he didn't look high, and he seemed sober. That was a good sign. Today was going to be a good day.

She shoved his hands away. "Stop squishing them!"

"But I love your face!" he teased, laughing. This caused Opal, Paul's four month old to shriek with glee.

Dana's heart melted at the sound. "Bring me my niece."

Paul did as instructed, smiling at the sight of her in Dana's arms.

As Opal bounced on her bed, she asked, "Why did you guys wake me up?"

"It's one in the afternoon, for starters," Moe said, poking Opal's tummy to make her squeal. "And everyone wants to come hang."

"Define everyone," she said. She wasn't in the mood for a party. And Monty was in no state to be near a party.

"You know, everyone. Sunset Curve, the Petal Pushers. They wanna have a movie night. We wanna see how long it takes for Ant to start crying during The Exorcist," Monty said with a grin.

Paul scoffed. "You guys are terrible people."

Monty shrugged. "You knew that when you met me."

"I guess I'll join," Dana said, wincing as Opal grabbed a fistful of her hair. "But no drugs. Not with the baby here."

"It'll be as clean as a rich lady's bathroom," Monty held up a hand, "Scout's honor."

Dana didn't really trust, as shitty as that sounded, but she knew he'd never do anything to hurt Opal, so she would grant him some grace. She nodded and he smiled.

"Can we watch The Outsiders?" she asked, making everyone groan.

"Not again. We've watched it, like, 60 times!" Moe grumbled.

[jazzyjj]

My rant about the Apple TV show Invasion that I need to type out or I'm gonna scream.

I just absolutely NEED to talk about this show...and how much I fucking hate Monty as a character.

Yes, I know this is a fictional child but the individual playing him is 18 and I'm only a few years older than him so I'm justifying that its ok. We good? All bases covered? Not really? Well fuck it I'm still gonna do it.

As of right now I have only one episode of the second season left to go but because I don't see much change of his character occurring in the finale, I'm just gonna lock in my feelings about him now.

Monty is a selfish, control freak who never actually changes his ways. He just has a couple conversations with a decent human being where he takes a break from being a bigoted dickhead. And because Jamila SOMEHOW found it in her heart to be nice to Monty, the fucker imprinted on her since she's the 1st person to try and be kind to him not out of fear. This is technically wrong cause Casper was nice to him too, but you know how that went.

But let's give him some credit, he did undergo some character growth. Instead of being the bane of Caspar's existence via physical and verbal abuse and plotting to trap his entire class in a ravine until they starve to death just so he can be in control of them; he switches to pretending to be apologetic and remorseful to Casper about all the pain he inflicted upon him, and then shortly after tries to manipulate Jamila into fearing and abandoning Caspar so she'll run into his arms instead. Yes, I know that was an insane run-on sentence. The dude basically tells Caspar, 'I know you're risking your life for me, and idk the entire fucking world by trapping yourself in the upside down, but I could actually give a rat's ass. Please sacrifice all you want but give up the one good thing you still have and let me have her instead, I'll look after her when die.

He takes the choice away from Jamila to make her own decision about this because apparently, he knows better? And don't worry I'm not leaving Caspar out of this. He's also taking her choice away and then proceeds to purposely hurt her feelings and invalidate her efforts she made to finds him because he believes that's better for her instead of allowing her to fight his demons with him. My guy, she crossed the CONTINENT for you, she almost died like 80 times FOR YOU. The girl is ride or die and you just need to accept that. But I will give him some leeway because he's extremely mentally vulnerable right now and has always been to Monty's influence even when they were in school.

And then I have to painfully endure the classic "I'm no good for you" spiel? I'm pissed. The season is almost over, and I'm broken that this is where Casper and Jamila relationship is, and it's all because of fucking Monty. I was so excited for some 'kids on bikes' when Alfie and Darwin joined Jamila and then Monty had to go and fuck it.

SIGH

I have some hope that maybe the last episode will fix this, Caspar will get his full self back and maybe if a season 3 happens, a brighter future for them will occur without Monty purposefully interfering.

Also last thing, why oh why must Caspar be such a good person, that's what sucks the most about it. The boy has been through so much, watched his mom's abuse and taken on the guilt for her paralysis and then lost her completely, he dealt with his seizures, has been tormented by Monty at every turn and every time he still had empathy for him and showed him kindness and apologized when Monty did not deserve it and it was never returned genuinely.

He's my little guy and I just want him to be happy. Is that so much to ask?!?!

Crackling Fires 2021 | October Fic Challenge

"I Know"

hosted by: @crackling-fires | prompt(s): day 07 – antique shops | ship(s): Murven | wc: 899 Raven needs some last minute costume pieces for the Halloween party that Jasper and Monty are throwing and Murphy tags along. Somehow they accidentally decide on a couple's costume at the antique shop and Raven has to figure out what that means. 

The same universe as the pumpkin patch fic.

“You seriously don’t have a costume already? I thought you were a planner––the party is in five days.”

Raven rolled her eyes as she shifted through her stack of homework. “Fuck off Murphy, I’ll be fine. Are you telling me you don’t have one?”

The bane of her existence, and unfortunate star of her current romantic fantasies, sighed and slouched back in his chair. Murphy had come to bother her at the library before they all met up for dinner at the dining hall. She both hated and appreciated his presence because his habit of making her tongue-tied went from non-existent to almost consistent since the piggy back ride at the pumpkin patch.

“Of course I don’t yet,” Murphy replied exasperatedly, tipping his chair back into a precarious angle, “but that’s my brand. I’m never prepared. You probably came out of the womb correcting the doctor on how to properly be prepared or whatever.”

She couldn’t help but feel a smile tug at her lips at the strange compliment. 

“Well what do you propose we do about it then?” Raven snapped her notebook closed and arched an eyebrow at him. Grinning now that he had her full attention, Murphy let the chair slide back into its correct position and leaned over the table towards her. Raven fought against the blush threatening to bloom on her cheeks as he stared intently at her.

“That antique store on Polis Drive. The owner is one of Clarke’s old flings, Niylah. There’s gotta be some cool shit there and I know you don’t ever want to blend in, even at Halloween.”

***

The antique shop was, indeed, filled with “cool shit” as per Murphy’s description.

Niylah, a striking tall blonde woman, let them in and pointed out the different sections of it all. Apparently it had all started from her father’s collection and grew over time as she sought to save items from ruin in neighborhood garage sales and collectors who needed new homes as they moved on. There was only one other person in the shop, giving them essentially the run of it as they hunted through the racks of tightly packed clothes.

“You own white pants, right?” Murphy’s voice floated over, muffled from the distance and the towering faux-marble statue between them.

Raven had to think for a second before she remembered her own wardrobe. She did have white pants––she’d bought them when Harper had dragged everyone with her back when she was trying to figure out what sorority to join. But somehow it had been a year since then and Raven hadn’t gotten rid of the pants. But less startling than that (she didn’t trust herself to wear the color often), was that Murphy remembered.

“Yeah…” she confirmed cautiously, “why?”

He appeared beside one of the racks and excitedly held up a top. It was some type of vintage top, probably from the sixties, and was white and long sleeved that belled out around the wrist. When Raven didn’t respond right away, Murphy gave the hanger a wiggle.

“Picture it: a retro inspired Princess Leia in A New Hope. We just need to find a silver belt or something that you could wear. Then with the white pants, skirt, or whatever, throw your hair in a bun, boom.” 

Raven couldn’t find the grin tugging at her lips.

“That’s actually a pretty good idea, Murphy. Well done.”

A hint of bashfulness overcame him but he quickly shrugged it off with a wave. “Movies were a big thing when I was a kid. I’ve got all of those costumes burned into my brain.”

Raven immediately became intrigued at the visual, thinking of her own lack of movie knowledge as well. There probably wasn’t a subtle way of doing it, but she’d have to figure out how to ask him about doing a movie night sometime.

“What about you?” She walked up and took the shirt from him, inspecting it as she did. It was in good condition thankfully and she definitely could imagine what he was describing. Maybe she wasn’t a huge movie person, but she most certainly knew about Star Wars; it had been her first introduction to space and the obsession that she’d carry in her heart ever since.Murphy pointed down at the basket in hand. A heavy, brownish gray leather vest was nestled inside.

“Han Solo.” His eyes shot up to meet hers. “If you’re cool with it, obviously.”

He didn’t say the words but they were clearly underlying his statement.

A couples costume.

Raven hoped her nervousness didn’t come through at all as she assured him that of course it was fine. But butterflies were erupting in her stomach and heart pounded. Did she look ridiculous right now? Murphy didn’t seem to be acting differently but she was pretty damn sure she had a comically large, goofy grin on her face as she trailed after him to find the rest of the pieces.       

But in between the aisles of trinkets, memorabilia and clothes, she thought she caught a glimpse of a privately proud smile on his face. So when he insisted on paying for the costumes, Raven let him. And as they drove back and talked about the movie franchise (it turned out they both agreed about the prequels being underrated), she became even more confident about her new Halloween plans:

Tell Murphy about her feelings for him.

Crimson Rivers Chapter 30: Goodbye

My thoughts under the cut with spoilers

It’s Evan, again ☹️

Remus I love you 😭😭

Tragic Wolfstar is the bane of my existence

Pandora, you queen

Noooo James you don’t always get it wrong ☹️

OH THE GLASSES 😭😭

The glasses AND a kiss 🫠

“His face softens as he straightens them on James' face, and he looks so adoring that James' heart fucking riots.” Me too James me too

"Use me. Have me, then discard me. Hurt me. I don't care, Regulus. You can do anything to me, and I'll thank you for it every time." We all already know how down bad you are James

James is a secret masochist honestly maybe not secret even

"Think about it, love. A slap across the face is just a hand cradling a cheek with too much force," James says, his mouth dry. "I can take it. I swear I can take it. I might even like the way it stings, so long as it's your hand that leaves the mark." James you couldn’t be more down bad if you tried

“It'll take a while, but later—much later—James will look back on this and wonder, sadly, if it was a parting gift, too.” WE NEED TO STOP WITH THE PARTING GIFTS

AND WE’RE BACK TO TRAGIC WOLFSTAR 😭😭

“You know what I’m asking” ohhhhh Regulus and Remus you just know how to pull on the heartstrings

Regulus, you poor emotionally constipated man

The group hug 🥹

DEMISEXUAL SIRIUS????

IT’S SNOWING AND I’M SCREAMING

These Players Are The X-Factors In The 2023 NBA Playoffs

The NBA regular season standing reveal how this year’s playoff race will be closer than ever, with just 3 wins separating 4th and 8th place in the Western Conference.

With margins this close, many of the outcomes of these games are going to be swung by moments and by role players, and how far a team’s supporting can push thier individual performances.

This may be true for every team in the post season, but some teams are going to need bigger contributions from their guys than others, and this is a comprehensive list of the players whose performances will have the biggest implications, outside the perfomance of the actual leading scorers.

1. Xavier Tillman Sr

With the injuries to the Grizzlies frontcourt (Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke), there will be a need for Grizzlies head coach, Taylor Jenkins. to find reliable pieces to plug that void.

Up to now, Jenkins has somewhat mitigated the problem through Xavier Tilman, who up to this point, has seen hism given more opportunities and Tilman has started 29 games and he averages about 19.3 minutes per game.

By playing Tilman alongside Jaren Jackson, Jenkins has found a front court pairing that gives him somewhat of a interrior defensive presence, and should he not be able to rely on Tilman, Jenkins will likely have to rely on playing smaller lineups with Desmond Bane at powerforward.

So much of how the Grizzlies backup powerforward performs will have a ripple effect on Memphis’ options as far as lineups and rotations.

2. Khris Middleton

This will be Khris Middleton’s 1st NBA playoff run since the Bucks won the title two years ago and I am not going to bother to factor in how many points he’s averaged because a lot of Middleton’s 2022/23 stats are watered down.

Hence why I am still concerned that Bucks head coach, Mike Budenholzer kept him out of the starting lineup for so long, and basically ran him with the bench unit, and I wonder what effect that had on Middleton because getting less time in lineups alongside Jrue, Giannis and Brook. 

When you look at a Khris Middleton stat line, the first things you want to see are points and efficiency, and while that’s understandable, I think the other thing to watch with Middleton is his pick’n’roll defense because that’s what 1-on-1 scorers do when they face him, and he’s gotta get a handle on it, or be smarter before allowing himslef to switch on to those guys.

I for one, cannot think of a single 2nd star, that has more on his plate in 2023, than Khris Middleton.

3. Deandre Ayton

It’s funny how Kevin Durant joins the Phoenix Suns and his biggest influence or effect, on the team, seems to be his effect on Deandre Ayton.

It’s been tough-sledding for Ayton and while he has gotten a new contract since the 2021 finals, it has come with added scrutiny and a more strained relationship with head coach, Monty Williams. 

Besides what the perception of Ayton may be, both within and outside the Suns organization, he’s in a unique spot to take full advantage of the kind of space he will have in the paint now that Durant is in Phoenix, and I think Ayton knows it.

A motivated Deandre Ayton can easily replicate what he was able to do against the Denver Nuggets in 2021. 

It comes down to the reality that if you look at all the other Western Conference teams, none of them, outside of Denver with Jokic and maybe Memphis with Steven Adams and Jaren Jackson, have got bigs that can match up with Ayton.

He may have dealt with being called out for a lack of desire but I think Deandre recognises how he can be one of the big reasons the Suns get back to a finals. 

4. Jamal Murray And Michael Porter Jr

Denver Nuggets fans have long since talked up the return of Jamal Murray and how that happening would finally allow the Nuggets to reach thier full potetial as Western Conference front runners, and they may very well have been right about that.  

Michael Porter Jr’s case is slightly more complex.

It was thought that the Denver Nuggets had gotten the biggest steal in the 2018 draft when they got Porter Jr, and that still may very well be true, the problem is that when a young player is drafted to a team that already has star offensive players like Murray and Jokic. So Porter Jr hasn’t really had to push his game, the way he would have had if he had been drafted by any almost any other team in the league. 

Murray is getting back to health but the reality is, the Nuggets need him to play like he did in the bubble back in 2020.

The combined scoring of these two auxillary scorers will sway the direction of the Nuggets playoff hopes and each will have thier own hangups/obstacles to to overcome in this post season.

The Nuggets playoff hopes, and Mike Malone’s job depend on this.

5. The Entire Warriors Front Court

This section has to include every member of Golden State’s fron court because

The Warriors defense has taken such a step backwards that 

A lot of things are still the same on this team. Steph is still making crazy shots, Klay Thompson is back to his best, Jordan Poole is still among the top 6th men in the league, and they still have Gary Paton, Andrew Wiggins, plus the addition of Donte DiVencenzo.

What has changed is the commitment to defense, and that comes down to Draymond Green, Kevon Looney, Jason Kuminga and Jamychal Green.

While the Warriors have done well to get themselves to top 6 seed, given how thier season started, but there is nothing else they can do, other than to increase thier frontcourt production and thier collective defense.

6. Isaac Okoro and Lamar Stevens

I’m going to keep a keen eye on this wing-forward pairing of the Cavaliers, because these guys actually have the potential to blow the lid off of the Cavs’ playoff ceiling.

That is, provided that they can make thier jump shots.

Clevelands guards scorers and the need for opposing defenses to double-team at least one of them, essentially means that the Cavs auxillary players are going to get a lot of wide open looks, and that means Okoro and Stevens need to focus on splashing their jumpers.

Now, I really have to wonder if Cavs head coach, JB Bickerstaff will commit to having these guys together in the lineup because Okoro averages 36.3% from 3 and Stevens is at 31.6% from the same distance. Bickerstaff has Caris Levert on the bench averaging 39.3% from 3 but they Cavs have not really unleashed the beast that is Caris yet.

It’s a conundrum and while putting Evan Mobley and Jared Allen together in the lineups has it’s perks because of what they do defensively, at some point they have to go to smaller lineups, create space and make jumpers.
