Tumblr media
Side note: This is my first ever tumblr fic, so uh, be gentle!! moving on!
pairing: ghost x f!reader
synopsis: callsign is sunshine, because you're anything but. team 141 thought ghost was bad? at least they could crack a smile out of the guy from time to time, you? you were stone faced, all day, every day. until one day you're not, not with a certain someone anyway.
warnings: inaccurate military language and sequences, violence, angst, descriptions of interrogation and torture, INTENSE gore (imo), cursing, allusions to mental illness (reader has sociopathic tendencies) you get the gist. If you have a weak stomach or faint heart, please do not read this, like please.
I'd also like to start this off by saying that the mc is not a good person, and that is on purpose. I've seen a lot of the angel fics where ghost falls for his antithesis, so I decided to try something new. So here, please forgive any mistakes.
if this does become a series there will most likely be smut because,,, yes.
(update it's becoming a series so if someone wants to be tagged for that lmk cause i have so many ideas for this)
part 1 part 2 part 3 part 4 part 5 part 6
MINORS DO NOT INTERACT.
Word count: 3.4k
"Sunshine how copy?" Ghost's gruff, static filled voice called through coms, scope checking the parameters of the building she found herself held up in. She didn't respond at first, busy fighting for her life in a basement underneath the building they weren't aware of.
The deeper she went the harder it was to understand what was being relayed to her, so she settled on doing it on her own. He listened to a man grunt, their body dropping to the floor under her boot as she took a deep breath.
"There's a basement underground, coms are cutting out. I'm taking charge on clearing the basement. I'll report when I get to the surface. Sunshine out." She loathed her callsign with a passion. To speak it caused a burning hatred to spark in the lowest depths of her heart and made her cringe horribly. However, she knew it was better than letting everyone know her real name, so she dealt with it.
Ghost sighed, knowing she couldn't be stopped once she started. She had been on a few missions together in the past few years, he knew she was uptight and lacked the emotional capacity to make friends with others. It made him wonder why, what could've been that bad to freeze her heart over and shrink it to the size of the pebble he was crushing under his foot as he shifted uncomfortably. People would try and try to thaw her out, yet always failed.
He waited, taking out strays that attempted to heed the possible rescue requests that came from that basement, and patiently waited.
"This is Sunshine, basement cleared. Might wanna come take a look at this." His eyebrows furrowed, affirming the request and making his way down quickly, not wanting to stay in the open for too long. He made his way to the basement, eyes widening at the various bodies that trailed to wherever she was down there.
Had she done this all by herself?
He followed the bodies all the way to her, lights flickering, casting a bland white light on the concrete walls. seeing her digging through an opened trunk in a room filled with them.
"Weapons. American." Sunshine reported, glancing at him as he took his place next to her, seeing the American flag painted onto the inside of the lid. She turned at the sound of a groan, a soldier she left alive rousing to consciousness.
"Fuckin' hell. This mission was to take out ultranationalists." Ghost sighed. She didn't respond, the task force member watching her turn on her heel and grab the soldier by vest, throwing him against the wall with impressive strength. Blood flowed out of the back of his head, smearing against the wall as he slowly slid to the floor. He had never seen her in interrogation, but he had heard from those who have.
Brutal, heartless, some had to exit the room.
He wouldn't. He's witnessed plenty of torture tactics, even had to rely on some himself to get information necessary for national security. But this is another reason why they called her 'Sunshine', because to others she didn't feel remorse for what she did, some said she enjoyed it even, that her eyes brightened like the sun peaking over the horizon. Whether that was true or not he'd figure out now, as eager as he was. He watched her take out her knife, flipping it in her hand as she crouched to the soldier's level.
"Where'd they come from." She asked simply, keeping an even tone that surprised Ghost. He expected something more fierce, intimidating, but it was as if she was starting a conversation with a normal person. The victim attempted to spit in her face, but with a quick turn on the head it landed on the floor behind her. Her knife dug itself into his foot, his cries of pain echoing in the basement as she twisted it. The sounds of his bones cracking made Ghost shiver.
"Where'd they come from. Who sold them to you." She persisted, her face void of all emotion as she ripped the blade out of his foot. She sighed, turning to ghost who stood in the back, surveying the action. His eyebrows furrowed as she pointed to the door with her knife.
"Wait outside. This might take awhile." At first he didn't move, but the hint of impatience in her eyes spooked him out, for reasons unknown to him, but instinct told him to listen. So he slowly retreated and stood watch outside for anyone either getting up or rushing down the stairs. Y/N turned back to her victim, seeing two loops with chains hanging off of them imbedded into the wall. She tied his arms up, leaving his body sagging down.
Ghost listened to her repeat her questions, and when she didn't get an answer, a shout would follow. But those shouts turned to ear-piercing screams very quickly. He listened to pleads and begs of mercy to understand him, that he couldn't say anything out fear to what they'd do to him.
"Imagine what I'll do next if I don't get the response I want." She'd respond.
The bones cracking, the retch of vomiting, blood splattering onto the cold concrete.
"If you think you can outlast me, that I'll get tired of this and stop for the night to let you regain some of your humanity, you're wrong. Because unfortunately for you sweetheart." The blade tore through his skin, another bellow of pain emerging from his throat as he squirmed in his place. They were both coated in blood, her eyes dull and her ears tuning out the noise. To her, it was as if he was silent, his screams didn't penetrate through to her, and talked and talked until it drove him mad.
"I don't have all night, and I'm getting impatient. You won't die, I wouldn't allow that. I went through med school, graduated top of my class with a doctorate in Neuroscience. I know how to break." Which was evident as his leg was broken and facing different directions from the knee down to his toes.
"And I know how to fix. I'll keep you alive a lot longer than the night, and I'll do a lot worse. So if you want this to end, start talking, or you're in for a long week." Simon wondered what she was doing. His mind went over the possibilities until her victim finally cracked after the final scream he unleashed into the empty basement. He detailed a secret arms trade between an ally of the United States' and another country, which would lead to the likeliness of intentions for them.
War.
Y/N huffed, ripping off a piece of the soldiers shirt that wasn't soaked in sweat, blood, or vomit, which was a very small one, and wiping her hands clean as best as she could.
"Could've said that 10 minutes ago. Now, you'll bleed out within the next 5. Shame." Ghost listened to his anguished sobs as footsteps approached him, turning around from the entrance to see her, covered in blood. His eyes widened slightly, noticing a piece of...
Her eyes followed his to her vest, noticing a very small piece of flesh sitting between her shirt and gear before flicking it off to the side.
"Hopefully he didn't have HIV." She joked, but there was no humor in her voice, no sign of her finding it funny at all, as if she said it to just say it. Ghost didn't respond, he wasn't sure how. He slowly moved to look inside the room, the curiosity of what she did to the soldier eating him alive, until she grabbed his roughly.
"Don't." The word sent shivers down his spine, and he knew better than the disobey as she had operational command authority, and would likely court martial him if he had. So he took a step back and maintained eye contact, radioing in to Price.
"Captain, this is Ghost. How copy." He called, his gruff voice bringing a smile to her lips that he couldn't see due to her mask which was just a boring black one, decorated with blotches of drying blood that lightened up enough to see. "This is Price."
"We found weapons and gear, they're American." He went onto explain the situation, being weary of his mission leader walking around him in circles, waiting impatiently as he reported their findings.
"Copy that. I'll transfer this to Lanswell. Good work, report back to base for debrief."
"Copy, Ghost out." He connected his radio back to his vest. She took out her pistol, leading him to pull out his own. The behavior she exhibited was one he hadn't seen often, and it led to a deep mistrust he couldn't shake. She smirked, turning around, walking back in the room, and confirming her kill with a bullet between the eyes before reappearing in front of him.
He looked at her suspiciously as she gestured to the stairs, wondering who trained her, who made her into what she is now. She wasn't normal, not like the rest of them, she had no signs of remorse, care, or empathy for the people she killed, and she killed them with ease. Over 30 soldiers in one cramped basement and she came out unscathed, in tip top shape. He followed her out and made it to the landing zone where a helicopter came to pick them up.
She was silent the whole way back, Price being there to greet the two before they sat through debrief.
"Sunshine, we have orders from headquarters to have you join Task Force 141. Ghost is to watch over you. An official introduction will be made tomorrow." Price announced, not missing the tightened grip of Ghost's fist on the table.
"Copy that captain." She responded in her usual tone, only fueling Ghost's anger as he turned to glare at her, though she only ignored him, keeping her gaze unwavering on Price.
"Hit the showers soldier." Price dismissed, Y/N being the first to leave. But before she did, she turned to look down at her new partner.
"Happy to be on the team, Mr. Riley." It took his everything to not jump to his feet and knock her out, holding his breath to calm himself down as she walked away, the door shutting behind her. He hated that she had power over him, and worse that she rubbed it in his face.
"There's no chance in hell I'll stand for her being on my team." He immediately threw at him, standing up in his seat with his finger pressing firmly on the table in front of him.
"First, it's my team. Second, It's not my choice, orders are orders." Ghost growled lowly, clearly upset over the lack of fighting to keep her off, to keep her away to those he held near and dear to his heart, even if that wasn't too close to begin with. He saw her as a danger, an immediate threat, someone who belonged in an institution before they saw the battlefield.
"Then send an appeal. She's a war criminal. Tell em that!" He snapped.
"Bloody hell we're all war criminals. Then we'll be stuck in prison with her and you'll complain some more." Price groaned, rubbing his forehead, clearly irritated by his soldier's insistence.
"Not like that. Not how she is. She'll kill one of us before we get the next mission, hell she parade around our bodies like a joker and hail-" Price's hand slammed on the table, cutting his lieutenant off.
"Quiet." Ghost went silent, sighing deeply as he waited for Price to gather the right words, to somehow ease his mistrust in her, though he doubted she could do that. He watched as he shut the door and locked it, keeping his voice hushed, standing closer to his comrade.
"This is classified information, what I say stays in this room and is to never be discussed with anyone else. Is that understood lieutenant." Ghost's eyes widened for a moment before nodding in affirmation, waiting for his captain to continue.
"She- she wasn't brought up normally. As a great many soldiers weren't, hence why many of them join the ranks in the first place. She was a prodigy, she became a seal at 17, and on her second mission she was set up, deserted, and kidnapped. Nobody knows what happened to her in there, a search team was sent out, but she wasn't found til a few months later, and when she came out after she was different."
She was a child.
That's all Ghost could thing about. God knows what happened to her in there, and he didn't want to think about it.
"She exhibited sociopathic tendencies, she was closed off, didn't speak for a very long time. She failed psychological evaluation requirements, depression, ptsd, ecetera. Even then they sent her back out on missions a couple months later." Simon's eyes blew open, Price nodding glumly.
"Missions? Fuckin' hell, she needs help not special ops." He sneered, not at Price, but his anger was seeping through at rates he couldn't control. He was angry, how could they do that to someone? Did they not care, not even a little bit for her life? Her wellbeing?
"I know. But they're not taking her out any time soon, and now that she's on our team the least we can do is try to help her. I knew her before she became this. She was a kind soul." His voice dropped to a whisper, as if reminiscing, and he was. Her bright eyes, so full of potential when they met for her first mission, how she wheezed when she laughed. She was a kid, and it hurt his heart thinking about what she turned into over the last 6 years. Ghost nodded, silently agreeing to his motives before Price simply waved him off.
Simon hit the showers, scrubbing off the dirt and gunpowder that clung to his skin, watching the water turn black as the face paint drizzled down into it. The captain's words ran through his head over and over, the words going in one ear, through his brain, and out the other in a constant circle. He knew firsthand how corrupt his line of work could be, but that didn't make him any less angry when it revealed itself to him in the ways it did.
When he exited, fully dried and clothed with his mask back on, he passed by Y/N's room, noticing the light peaking out from underneath the door. He sighed quietly, his hand coming up and knocking on the door.
"It's open." Her cold voice responded, though it sounded more distant than before. He twisted the knob and let the door open, seeing her laying on her cot in deep thought. He went to question her, until he realized that she probably listened in on their conversation.
"You were listening." She nodded once, curtly and formally before sitting up and turning to look at him. Her eyes narrowed for a moment, analyzing every aspect about him. He felt like he was being stripped naked just by her look, his soul bare for her to look into.
Her eyes drifted over his exposed arms, the sleeveless tank he wore leaving them on display. He was a big guy, his arms were veined and muscled, tattoos filling up a majority of the space, combined with scars that passed through some of them. The top he wore was a bit tight, outline his chest in an attractive way, but she forced her eyes away, knowing he already caught onto what she was staring at.
"Price is right. I wasn't always like this. And I think he was the only one to notice, or at least point it out." She began, drawing attention away from the fact she just checked him out shamelessly.
"Wasn't right, what happened to you." He replied stiffly. She snickered, standing up. He watched her pace the room, twisting a knife in her hands, causing him to tense. She noticed.
"I'm not going to stab you lieutenant." She reassured, though it didn't help at all as she went on. She wasn't sure what she felt, confused for sure, as to why she was unable to emotionally process her emotions or evaluate the information she heard, as if her mind was barring her from contextualizing her state of mind. She knew she wasn't normal, but she couldn't bring herself to accept it and label herself.
"I was 17 when I was taken, you know that. Had a rough upbringing, I won't explain that to you now." She wasn't sure where she was going with this, and neither was he, but he'd listen for a bit to try and understand her more, maybe to trust her more now that she was his teammate. "I can feel emotion you know. Only to a certain degree, I can empathize. Fleeting, but it's there sometimes. I do feel some remorse, but you know how we are in this field. Weakness will get you killed, so you internalize it, you keep it buried underneath everything else, and because my everything else was stripped away with me, it just sits in here." She tapped her temple and shrugged. He understood what she meant, he did that too. He withheld his shame, his guilt, and his remorse, remaining a stone cold figure in the field. He saved the emotional crap for his time alone where he could deal with it in the way he knew how.
"You just let it sit there then?" He pressed, crossing his arms over his chest. She nodded.
"Don't know what to do with it. Lost my sense of self and all I know is this job. I do try though, I try to force some tears like I've seen others do, but the only time these.. feelings present themselves is on my missions, which is why everyone thinks I enjoy it. But I don't, for the record, I just can't control it like you guys do. And I envy you for that." His eyes widened slightly.
"Envy, huh."
"Mhm. You can talk to each other, find common ground and relate, make friends and connections. I can't because I don't feel like you guys do. And then you demonize me and outcast me more than I already am, so. Oops." He thought she was getting upset, but she wasn't, there was not a hint of anger or sadness or negative emotion in her person whatsoever, none that he could see anyway. Her arms were loose and carefree as she swung them around every time she turned her heel to pace back in the direction she just walked in.
"We can help you." Her first sign of feeling was an eye roll with a steady irritated gaze. But she didn't say anything. The idea of needing help repulsed her beyond anything else, made her want to punch a wall and scream, her eyes widened. Anger. There it is, outside of a mission too. She hummed, looking back at him.
"Alright Casper." He grunted, displeased by the new nickname which made her smile widen cheekily. She searched his eyes for a moment, finding entertainment in the small flames in his amber eyes, how they flickered and danced when he found something humorous, how they died out when he found something unamusing or boring, how they raged when he grew angry or determined to finish something with a newfound passion.
She liked to think he had that burn in his eyes when Price spoke to him about the notion of helping her, hoping that he'd care that much even if she didn't want the help, or perhaps she did, that would explain the want would it not? That was a thought for later. For now she'd do her job the way she knew how, she wouldn't change, not yet, not that she knew how anyway.
"We're going out for a drink tomorrow night, care to tag along." He offered, jousting his chin up at her in a heads up manner.
"I don't drink." She replied, monotone as she laid down on her cot, shutting her eyes with a sigh. He watched her body sink into the bed, all stress and tension releasing, and he took that as his dismissal. He shut the door behind him, releasing a breath and walking back to his room, confused and tired where he slept on the day's events.
Though he was curious on how tomorrow would turn out.

Zolu as Taylor Swift lyrics
"All these people think love's for show, but I would die for you in secret." — peace
This is literally Zoro in Thriller Bark willing to die and keeping it a secret from everybody. I want to throw up. They make me mentally ill.
"Your love is a secret I'm hoping, dreaming, dying to keep. Change my priorities. The taste of your lips is my idea of luxury. [...] Is this the end of all the endings? My broken bones are mending with all these nights we're spending. Up on the roof with a schoolgirl crush, drinking beer out of plastic cups. Say you fancy me, not fancy stuff. Baby, all at once, this is enough. And all at once, you are the one I have been waiting for. King of my heart, body and soul." — King Of My Heart
King Of My Heart is so Zolu coded, not only because of, y'know, Luffy being literally the King of Zoro's heart, but because of the devotion and the feeling that nobody else compares to Luffy. Also, the feeling of young love and possessiveness between them is so good with this song.
"And I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you. I've loved you three summers now, honey, but I want 'em all." — Lover
Zoro is in love with the future king of the pirates. Everybody wants Luffy. Of course Zoro is going to be jealous.
"Wherever you stray I follow. I'm begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans, that's my man. You know that my train could take you home, anywhere else is hollow. [...] Wait for the signal and I'll meet you after dark. Show me the places where the others gave you scars." — willow
The devotion. Zoro willing to follow Luffy to hell. Luffy wanting to know Zoro better, deeper. Knowing every detail about his scars and dreams. I'm going insane.
"And if I'm gonna be drunk, might as well be drunk in love. [...] Everyone wants him, that was my crime." — Slut!
Ah yes, being possessive and an alcoholic. Zoro's best character traits.
"'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this. You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless." — Fearless
This is very early Zolu but honestly could just be them being silly and Zoro following Luffy's silly and impulsive shenanigans.
"My thoughts will echo your name, until I see you again. These are the words I held back, as I was leaving too soon: I was enchanted to meet you... Please don't be in love with someone else... Please don't have somebody waiting on you." — Enchanted
Sabaody angst haunts me at night.
"You made a mess of me. I pictured you with other girls in love, then threw up on the street. [...] Oh my, love is a lie, shit my friends say to get me by. It hits different. It hits different this time." — Hits Different
They're so... The one for each other. Their love hits different. For both of them.
"So you were never a saint, and I've loved in shades of wrong. We learn to live with the pain, mosaic broken hearts. But this love is brave and wild. [...] These are the hands of fate, you're my Achilles heel. This is the golden age of something good and right and real." — State of Grace
They're each other's Achilles heel. I'm gonna cry.
"Time, mystical time, cuttin' me open, then healin' me fine. Were there clues I didn't see? And isn't it just so pretty to think all along there was some invisible string tying you to me? [...] Chains around my demons, wool to brave the seasons. One single thread of gold tied me to you." — invisible string
Thinking that they were destined to be together is cheesy af but I don't care <3
"I see how this is gon' go, touch me and you'll never be alone. Island breeze and lights down low. No one has to know. [...] Every lover known in comparison is a failure. I forget their names now, I'm so very tame now. Never be the same now." — ...Ready For It?
Once again saying that they're the one for each other. And also this song is just the vibes. They have these vibes. I don't want to explain it because I got tired of writing this halfway.
"Kiss me once 'cause you know I had a long night. Kiss me twice 'cause it's gonna be alright. Three times 'cause I've waited my whole life. I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings." — Paper Rings
They're so clingy so sappy so cheesy I don't care what dudebros think.
"You were so magnetic, it was almost obnoxious. [...] I didn't come here to make friends, we were born to be suburban legends. When you hold me, it holds me together. And you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever." — Suburban Legends
Luffy has always been, ever since they met, magnetic to Zoro. And it kind of bothered him at first, but now Luffy has changed his life forever and he will never love somebody else the way he loves Luffy.
"And, somehow, I know that you and I would've found each other. In another life, you still would've turned my head even if we'd met... [...] 'Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this. So, even in a different life, you still would've been mine... We would've been timeless." — Timeless
Once again saying that I love thinking they're soulmates. Because they are. Argue with the wall.
"I'm yours to keep, and I'm yours to lose." — So It Goes...
I love codependency.
"But we might just get away with it. Religion's in your lips. Even if it's a false god. We'd still worship. We might just get away with it. The altar is my hips. Even if it's a false god. We'd still worship this love. I know heaven's a thing. I go there when you touch me. Honey hell is when I fight with you." — False God
Zoro worshipping Luffy like a God will never not be extremely romantic and passionate. Luffy also sees their relationship like this, kind of. They're each other's world!!! Going crazy!!!
"Put your lips close to mine as long as they don't touch. Out of focus, eye to eye, 'til the gravity's too much. And I'll do anything you say if you say it with your hands." — Treacherous
This is just them pining over each other and being extremely intimate and willing to do anything the other says. I love exaggerating everything.
"They said the end is coming. Everyone's up to something. I find myself running home to your sweet nothings. [...] And the voices that implore, "You should be doing more". To you, I can admit that I'm just too soft for all of it." — Sweet Nothing
I honestly always think about Sanuso with this song because it's way more Sanuso coded- HOWEVER!! I do think Zolu has this domestic and genuine energy whenever they're clingy and don't really ask anything from the other except just being together.
"Big reputation, big reputation. You and me, we got big reputations. And you heard about me. I got some big enemies. [...] I swear I don't love the drama, it loves me. And I can't let you go, your handprint's on my soul. It's like your eyes are liquor, it's like your body is gold." — End Game
Do I really need to explain this one when everybody knows they're literally dramatic pirates wanted by the law? And they're very very in love?
"All I know is this could either break my heart or bring it back to life. Got a feelin' your electric touch could fill this ghost town up with life. And I want you now, wanna need you forever. In the heat of your electric touch." — Electric Touch
When OPLA!Zoro said that Luffy had changed his life. That changed me.
"We blocked the noise with the sound of 'I need you', and for the first time I had something to lose." — Holy Ground
Once again this is about OPLA!Zoro but obviously works with our regular Zolu. Zoro was so lost without Luffy I'm gonna cry.
"One night he wakes, strange look on his face. Pauses, then says: You're my best friend. And you knew what it was. He is in love." — You Are In Love
This is the perfect way to describe a relationship between aroaspec people. Also, this is giving Sanuso too but this is not a Sanuso post I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm so-
"Don't blame me, love made me crazy. If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right. Lord, save me, my drug is my baby, I'll be usin' for the rest of my life. My name is whatever you decide, and I'm just gonna call you mine." — Don't Blame Me
I don't need to explain this one.
"My hand was the one you reached for all throughout the Great War." — The Great War
I always think about ASL and Marineford with this one but tbh it is very Zolu too.

Day 6 of Via’s Taycember
pairing: eduardo camavinga x reader
wc: 832
cw: mention of scars, loneliness
I'm like the water when your ship rolled in that night. Rough on the surface but you cut through like a knife
If it was up to you, the soft music that filled the wispy willows would never have led you to such a fate. But it had other plans, whispering for you to follow their words, parting the drooping branches and soft weeds to find the source of the music.
It was an oddity, the idea of a piano situated in the deep of the forest, but nevertheless, you continued your quest, trying to damp down the aching desire for knowledge.
And there he was, sitting amongst the willows and the weeds, fingers dancing on the keys of the ivy-covered piano, filling the forest with a sound of beauty and love.
And if it was an open-shut case, I never would've known from that look on your face, lost in your current like a priceless wine
You hoped it would be a simple affair, finding out where he came from, why he was playing on a piano in the middle of a forest few wandered into, yet the curious look on his face meant nothing but. You wanted to learn more, quench your thirst for desire; he wanted to know who this mysterious figure clad in a soft, billowing off-white dress drifted towards him on a current of his absentminded making, like the wines crafted from centuries past that decorated his wall.
The more that you say, the less I know. Wherever you stray, I follow. I'm begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans, that's my man
The wish of a simple affair had long been forgotten. His words filled you with a sense of wist, daring you to break out of your shell and go beyond your content. Every word seemed to challenge you, making you feel as if you knew nothing of yourself and the world around you.
His words always took him places you have never been, still, you followed. Deeper into the forest, into your soul, you found yourself wishing you could beg him to ruin every desire, every wish you once had to take you somewhere far more beautiful than what you could ever have hoped for.
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind. Head on the pillow, I could feel you sneaking in, as if you were a mythical thing
You felt yourself bend towards his ever-magnetic field of love, just like everything else seemed to. Wherever he went was followed by a path of birdsong and warmth. Even when you lay your head on his pillow, awaiting his arrival as you pretended to sleep, you could feel his presence like a phoenix filled the air with fire, warm and inviting, as he snuck in, careful not to wake you from your ill-attempted slumber.
Like you were a trophy or a champion ring and there was one prize I'd cheat to win
Seldom was there something you desired so deeply you would fight for it in any way you could, yet here you were, trying to keep Eduardo yours, trying to keep him shining like the ring you awaited or the empty spot in your dining room, much like the empty spot in your trophy cabinet.
You know that my train could take you home, anywhere else is hollow. I'm begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans, that's my man
Each night he’d come home to you, travelling on the sole train to the far side of the country, filling your home and your soul with joy and love. You’d never realized it before, but there was a raging loneliness that filled your days and slept beside you at night, void of any love or sense of belonging, but he never failed to whisk it all away with his words and piano music, the notes dancing in the once-dust-filled air of your living room. It followed you upstairs and everywhere around as a constant companion when he wasn’t there, wrecking any sense of the routine you'd set for yourself, becking you to grasp it and hold it close and dear.
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind, they count me out time and time again. Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind, but I come back stronger than a 90's trend
No matter where he went, what he said, it seemed as if you had been waiting a lifetime to find some sense of direction. He was like the wind that blew through your willow branches, filling it up with life, giving the same spiritual volume, bending over to get more, more, more despite what anyone else might have thought once upon a time ago.
Sometimes, though, it felt as if you were losing yourself, becoming too complacent in tearing away your individuality, but you knew you were still the same strong-spirited person as you were before you met him, so when you needed to ground yourself, you only grew stronger than ever imaginable.
Wait for the signal and I'll meet you after dark. Show me the places where the others gave you scars
But oh, was there more to him than you could ever have thought! But some things needed to be shrouded in the darkness of secrecy, away from any watchful eyes of those searching to upend the unknown and mystery. A patterned few flickers of lamplight, and you were racing through the darkened trees to your meeting spot, before he took you around his body and the country, unveiling the wide expanse of scars and healings from his past.
Now this is an open-shut case, guess I should've known from the look on your face. Every bait and switch was a work of art
Eduardo was everything you should've known from the start. His glowing, soft charm encompassing every corner of your life, filling up the dark crevices and patching up the chasms of loneliness, under the guise of love and kindness. It seemed that he was too good to be true, but despite the seeming bait and switch of reciprocated love, it was still a beautiful thing that blossomed from the disturbance of your life, permanent kisses and bed dips, always ready to take your waiting hand and ruin it all for the willowed wonders.
I'm begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans, that's my man

These things Yuuji knows to be true:
1) Yuuji is ill. 2) Yuuji is to be executed. 3) Zen’in Megumi put a stop to his execution. 4) Despite what the prince may say, Zen’in Megumi is impossibly kind.
That last one, Yuuji knows, because despite possibly having a hundred servants, it is Zen’in Megumi that stays by his bedside to nurse him back to health.

That Unwanted Animal
Okay anon and @tastyfiddle here it is! Jaskier is red riding hood off to visit his grandmother who is sick in bed! Geralt is the hunter who warns him about a dangerous wolf in the woods. Can Jaskier avoid the wolf? If not can Geralt save him? Ao3 link here masterlist for other fics featuring jaskier and Joey here
"Now Jaskier, your grandmother is stuck in her cottage in the woods and is very sick. I need you to take these food items to her please." Jaskiers mother said.
"Why do I gotta do it mom? The woods are a scary place! Can't dad do it?" Jaskier groaned.
"You're going in the daylight you will be fine. Just make sure to wear your red cape and….?".
"Don't stray from the path I know." Jaskier sighed in defeat. 
"Good boy. Now off you go your grandmother is probably starving.". 
She tied the cape around his neck and handed him a basket of food before gently pushing him out the door and planting a kiss on his cheek. It was late afternoon when Jaskier reached the edge of the wood and the path to his grandmother's house. He shuddered as he heard a wolf cry. 
"Sure it's daylight, I'll be safe….. or not. Why must grandma live deep in the woods?" Jaskier sighed as he slowly made his way into the woods. 
He hadn't gotten far when a tall strong looking handsome man with hair white as snow crossed his path.
"Have you seen a wolf sir?" The man asked.
"Hello, uh no I haven't yet. Is there one here?" Jaskier stuttered.
"Well it is the woods they usually are filled with wolves. But yes this particular one has been avoiding me for some time now.So be careful with wherever it is you're going.". 
"Well um I'm going to my grandmother's house in the woods and if there is a scary wolf creature out there it would be nice to have a very strong hunter nearby!". 
"Yes, I'm sure it would be beneficial." The man said, turning away. 
Jaskier looked at the path he was supposed to be following and then looked back up at the strange man who was walking away from the path deep into the woods. The urge to follow him was strong; he seemed like he would be a safe man to follow. He sighed and continued on the path. As he walked he would occasionally sneak a few bites of food from the basket his mother had made up for his grandmother. 
"Hello handsome. What brings you so deep into these woods?" A rough male voice said. 
Jaskier looked around nervously, "who is there?". 
A tall man with short dark hair sauntered out from the woods, "Names Valdo Marx. Pleasure to meet you.". 
Jaskier gasped as he noticed the wolf's ears and the long tail. 
"You're ……you're …..you're a wolf!" Jaskier stammered backing up against a nearby tree.
Valdo let out a low growl, "It's fine I'm not dangerous I promise handsome. So what brings you into these woods?". 
"I'm really not supposed to talk to strangers so I'm just going to be on my way." Jaskier said slowly backing away from the wolf and putting his hood over his head.
"It's such a beautiful day though why waste it. Is that a lute I see on your back? Do you sing? I'm something of a singer myself. Let me hear something of yours.". 
"Normally I would but I really need to go see my grandmother because she is very ill. So maybe another time.".
"Oh the poor woman! How about you pick some flowers? I'm sure she would love them! I will guess she's in that house deep in the woods?" Valdo smirked. 
"She does like flowers, perhaps I should." Jaskier said, wandering off the path and beginning to gather flowers. 
"Excellent.", Valdo whispered to himself as he turned and strutted off into the woods, "first those crisp old bones and then something juicy and meaty. I'll be eating well today!".
****************
Geralt had been hunting this Valdo Marx wolf for weeks now. The old lady had complained about him harassing her and had hired him to kill the wolf. If she was the sick grandmother that man told him about earlier then he knew she probably wasn't safe. He slowly made his way towards her house making sure to be aware in case the wolf were to attack him. As he got closer to the cottage he noticed the door was open and could hear shouting. Quickly Geralt ran towards the cottage. The wolf had the woman and the man he met in the woods earlier backed against the wall.
"Oi wolf get away from them." Geralt shouted.
Valdo turned around with a blood thirsty look on his face and a grin that would send a shiver down any normal person's spine. Geralt grinned right back at him.
"Guess I'll be eating real good tonight. Once I'm done with you I'll finish off the old lady and that wimp." Valdo sneered.
Geralt looked up at them behind Valdo, "Get her out of here." He yelled at the strange man. 
"Oh I don't think so. You're all mine." Valdo chuckled.
Jaskier put a hand on his grandma and knew the hunter was right he needed to get his grandmother out of here and fast. But he wasn't sure how serious this Valdo was about them not leaving. He waited and watched until the hunter had distracted the wolf again before he and his grandmother made their way through the kitchen towards the other exit. 
"What's the rush?" Valdo growled, rushing in on all fours and blocking the door, "I told you that you aren't leaving."  
"And I told you that you aren't hurting anyone here." Geralt shouted storming in. 
Without a second thought Jaskier pulled his grandma under the table. He cowered afraid to even try to watch the battle happening. Out of nowhere a clawed hand reached under the table and dragged him out. Valdo was smiling down at him. Before Jaskier could even scream the hunter grabbed the wolf and stabbed him. Valdo went limp as the hunter removed the sword from his body. Jaskier helped his grandmother out from under the table before standing up and facing the hunter. 
"Oh thank you! You have saved me!" Jaskier exclaimed. 
"Thank you Geralt I knew you could get him. Anyway you can get rid of the body as well?" Grandmother said 
Geralt cocked an eyebrow and held out his hand. After receiving his payment he made his way out of the cottage with the body of Valdo Marx on his shoulder. 
"Oh wow grandma that was insane! How are you feeling?! I set food in the living room for you! Who was that man?". 
"Jaskier, I appreciate the food and everything you have done today. Tell your mother I'm feeling better and she doesn't need to send more food. Now go chase after that hunter he needs some comoany. His name is Geralt."  
"Thank you grandmother!" Jaskier gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek before he ran out the door and immediately began searching for the man. He reached the edge of the woods with no sign of him and sighed, "Oh I wish I could truly thank you sir. Perhaps a ballad of your heroic acts today will be thanks enough.".
Jaskier spent the rest of the walk home strumming on his lute trying to come up with a song fitting for his savior.

Number 12 for the writers ask, please.
Hope your having a nice day. 😊
12. Do you outline your fics?  If yes, how detailed are your outlines?  How far do you stray from them?
i used to outline fics with every detail possible (rly just . writing the entire fic itself) but now ill charge on ahead with absolutely nothing. a simple summary of the events usually gets me by these days. :] i usually stick to it, but there have been times where the pacing of the writing just took it somewhere else and i tend to just follow wherever i think it'll make the best impact

XLVII ​and they were to Us among the chosen, the best.
XLVI ​We purified them by a pure quality, remembrance of paradise;
XLV ​And remember Our servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, endowed with ability and vision:
XLIV “And take a handful of grass and strike with it, and do not break your oath.” We did indeed find him patient, an excellent servant; for he kept resorting to God.
{Job [peace and blessings be upon him] was afflicted with losing his children, community, and with a long illness. Only his wife stayed with him. He once became angry with his wife and vowed to give her one hundred lashes if he recovered. When Job’s [peace and blessings be upon him] affliction was lifted, he became remorseful at what he had said. To help Job [peace and blessings be upon him] fulfil his vow without harming his wife, God ordered him to strike her with a bundle of one hundred blades of grass.}
XLIII ​and We restored his family to him, and a like number with them, as mercy from Us, and reminder for the rational.
XLII ​“Stamp with your foot: here’s a cool place to wash, and drink”—
XLI ​And remember Our devotee Job: he called to his Lord, “Satan has afflicted me with calamity and torment!”
IV
Prophet Job
XL For he did indeed have nearness to Us, a beautiful resort. ​
XXXIX ​“This is Our gift: so be liberal or withhold, without calculation.”
XXXVIII ​and others, bound in shackles.
XXXVII ​and the demons, every builder and diver;
{The jinn dived to bring him pearls.}
XXXVI ​So We subjected the wind to him, it flowing at his command, as a gentle breeze, wherever he allotted;
XXXV ​He said, “My Lord! Forgive me, and grant me dominion that is not to be for anyone after me; for it is You who gives.”
XXXIV ​And We did indeed try Solomon; We put a body on his throne, and then he turned to God:
{It is reported in a ḥadîth collected by Bukhâri that one night Solomon said that each of his wives would conceive a boy who would struggle in God’s cause. He forgot to say ‘God willing,” so only one of them gave birth to a deformed, dead baby. So Solomon prayed to God for forgiveness.}
Solomon’s Authority
XXXIII ​“Return them to me!” And he began to rub their shanks and necks.
{Some commentators have a different interpretation, which is not supported by reliable sources. They maintain that Solomon kept watching these fine horses until the sun set, then he realized that he had missed the noon prayer because of his love for horses, so he killed them, striking at their legs and necks.}
XXXII ​and he said, “I love the love of the excellent out of remembrance of my Lord.” Then when they were concealed;
XXXI ​The finest steeds were set before him at evening tide,
XXX ​And We gave David Solomon, a truly excellent servant, for he was devoutly repentant.
Solomon’s Love for Fine Horses
XXIX ​A blessed Book We have sent you, that they may contemplate its signs, and that those with intelligence may be reminded.
The Purpose of the Quran
XXVIII ​Shall We treat the faithful who do good like those who make trouble on earth? Shall We treat the conscientious like the shameless?
XXVII ​We did not create the sky and earth and all that is between them in vain. That is the opinion of ingrates. And woe to the ungrateful, on account of hellfire.
III
God Is Just
XXVI ​O David, We made you a deputy on earth, so judge between people by truth without following desire, lest it deflect you from the way of God. For those who stray from the way of God there is severe agony, because they have forgotten the day of reckoning.
XXV ​And We forgave him for that. For he did indeed have nearness to Us, a beautiful resort.
David Prays for Forgiveness
(The verses do not offer a reason why David (صلى الله عليه وسلم) asked for God’s forgiveness. He either did so because he did not make himself available to judge between people or because he entertained some evil thoughts about the two men, thinking they actually came to assassinate him. Still he listened to both of them and made a fair judgment.)
XXIV ​[David] said, “He has indeed wronged you by demanding your ewe in addition to his ewes. And many associates do indeed treat each other unjustly, except those who have faith and do good works; but how few are they!” And David thought We had tried him, and he sought forgiveness from his Lord, and he prostrated himself bowing, and turned repentant to God.
XXIII ​“This is my brother; he has ninety-nine ewes, while I have one; yet he says ‘Entrust her to me,’ speaking forcefully to me.”

What is the Safest Option to Kill Bed Bugs?
When you wake up, look for any small, itchy spots, red rashes, or blisters; these could be symptoms of bed bugs. These little pests may infest your mattress, bed frames, box springs, and headboard seams. Bed bugs can be challenging to eliminate because they are difficult to find and increase. You must eliminate bed bugs as soon as possible because they can spread to other parts of your house and become a severe issue.
Both landlords and tenants have a duty to keep rental properties free from pest infestations. Bed bug infestations, like other pest infestations, signify unhygienic living conditions and are regarded as violations of both the San Francisco Health Code and the State Housing Code if they are not controlled. Bed bugs can enter your home through luggage, used furniture and beds, clothing, and other household items, but they are not a sign that your house is dirty. Make sure to contact bed bug experts in San Francisco California.
Bed bugs
Bed bugs are known to be pests, they are small and very hard to detect. But bed bugs are those types of pests that can break a home. When bed bugs are left untreated they can infiltrate the whole house due to the fact that they can spread quickly and the female bed bugs lay about five hundred eggs in their whole lifetime.
Pesticides/ Insecticides
Exposure to pesticides: Not only that bed bugs can develop resistance to pesticides, but they can also alter your day-to-day life without you noticing it. Exposure to pesticides can harm you and your family, not to mention that they can also hurt your pets.
Spraying pesticides can cause them to stray through the air and be transported thousands of miles from their original location. They contaminate your waterways and are present in the water you drink.
According to the WHO, acute pesticide poisoning claims the lives of over 350,000 people annually. Also excluded from this number are deaths from cancer and other chronic illnesses brought on by pesticide exposure. The WHO further predicts that long-term exposure may cause up to 750,000 people to annually develop certain cancers and chronic defects (World Health Organization, n.d.). Developing nations alone are included in this figure. The Centre for Pesticide Suicide Prevention (2022), also known as CPSP, also reports that self-poisoning with pesticides accounts for 15-20% of all suicides.
By 2020, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) predicts that sub-Saharan Africa will have spent $90 billion on illnesses and injuries brought on by pesticide use. This is more than the sum of all foreign aid given to the area for basic healthcare, excluding HIV/AIDS (United Nations Environment Programme, 2020).
How can I guard against harm when using or handling pesticides?
When possible, the WHO advises minimizing the use of pesticides. Find out first whether using pesticides is actually necessary and to what extent. Wherever possible, try to find non-chemical pest management solutions to the problem.
If pesticides are required, look for products with the lowest environmental and human health risks.
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for application and personal safety when using pesticides. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is frequently necessary to prevent direct contact with the pesticide and reduce exposure while handling and applying it. 
According to Trusted Source, about 300 insecticide products are approved for use in the U.S. to treat bed bug infestations. The primary chemical classes are as follows: 
The two most frequently used pesticides to treat bed bugs are pyrethrins and pyrethroids. Chrysanthemum flowers are the source of pyrethrins, and pyrethroids are their synthetic counterparts. They affect the bugs' nervous systems. In particular, populations of older-generation products and some bed bug populations have developed resistance to these chemicals.
Silicates: Among these is the dust from diatomaceous earth (DED). Desiccant, they are. After the waxy, protective outer coating is destroyed, the bed bugs are killed by dehydration. Since the effects are physical rather than neurochemical, bugs cannot develop resistance to these substances.
IGRs (insect growth regulators): Examples include hydroplane and (S)-methoprene. Before the pesticides work, the insects must bite to draw blood. They are, therefore, a less appealing choice.
Carbamates: Bendiocarb and propoxur are two examples. Although they are more effective than pyrethrins and pyrethroids, resistance is starting to show.
Neonicotinoids: Imidacloprid is one example. These are efficient and produce no resistance. They have no lasting impact.
Pyrroles: These have a prolonged action, a low efficacy, but no resistance problems. Chlorfenapyr is the only pyrrole bed-bug pesticide in the United States.
DEDs and other desiccants work well against bed bugs. They benefit from several things, including: 
●      extended shelf life
●      low mammalian toxicity
●      extended residual life
●      minimal likelihood of resistance
●      they can be applied as a safeguard
Vacuuming
Vacuuming is a safe way to try getting rid of bed bugs. While vacuuming can kill adult bugs, it's less effective against eggs and larvae, and applying diatomaceous earth correctly is necessary to ensure maximum effectiveness.
The bed bugs can, in fact, crawl out of vacuums. When you vacuum up bed bugs from your sheets and upholstery, they don't perish. Additionally, despite how thoroughly you vacuum, bed bugs can still escape back out because many vacuum cleaners don't have perfect one-way valves.
Heat
Heat is one of the most essential factors in getting rid of bed bugs. Not only is heat treatment safe, but it also helps you eliminate bed bugs and their eggs.
Bed bugs cannot survive high heat. Our company offers one of the best bed bug heat treatments in San Francisco, California. You can effectively kill fabric bed bugs by washing them in hot water.
Bed bugs die when their body temperature reaches 45° Celsius or 113° Fahrenheit. You can kill all stages of the bugs by subjecting them for an hour to temperatures above these. All bed bugs are quickly killed at temperatures above 60°C (140°F) (Doggett et al., 2012).
 The high temperatures required to heat a room make it unlikely to succeed. Bed bugs will seek out the more excellent parts of the room where the heat is not present, which could spread an infestation.
Cold
Not only that bed bugs cannot survive high heat, they also cannot survive low temperatures. Bed bugs are known for being common in areas that are hot. Bed bugs are prevalent especially in the months of August and September.
Cold temperatures can kill bed bugs, but for the cold to penetrate an object and kill all the bugs and eggs, it must be below -18°C (0°F) for at least four days.
Smaller items that could harbor bed bugs can be placed in a freezer that is cold enough, and You should measure the 4-day window from the moment the object's center reaches -18°C (0°F). Bulkier objects require more time to process.
The EPA cautions that it may take a while to work, and those home freezers may not be cold enough to kill bugs (United States Environmental Protection Agency, 2022).
Instant-freezing gas systems are ineffective and risk spreading an infestation because the high air pressure can drive the bugs away.
Experts
The best course of action is to get rid of them using a certified bed bug exterminator. Experienced pest controllers can successfully eradicate an infestation of bed bugs.
Professionals in pest control should:
1. Verify any infestation
2. Examine the area and, if possible, the surrounding areas.
3. Utilize both insecticides and non-chemical methods of control.
4. Review the course of treatment to ensure its success. 
5. recommend or implement preventative measures 
The use of pesticides is the most typical method of extermination. You and your family’s health could be in danger from these chemicals, though. Therefore, unless the infestation is more severe, our professionals try to avoid using this technique. Depending on the extent of the infestation, more than one method may be employed. Additionally, heat, steam, and vacuum are treatments for bed bugs. These solutions call for powerful tools that would be prohibitively expensive for the typical consumer. Professional-grade equipment is available to and used by our bed bug specialists.

I like bunny people! I grew up on series like Redwall, so woodland creature people have always had a special place in my heart. So when when rabbitfolk were announced as an official race, I was thrilled!
And I think WotC did a decent job, they’ve got some cool abilities, but they didn’t really give them any background or lore, or… Really anything, to be honest. If I recall correctly, the official flavor text more or less boiled down to “they’re bunny people from the Feywild who like freedom.” And that was basically it. Which is… Not particularly flavorful.
Still, I think the Harengon/Rabbitfolk have a lot of potential, so here’s a bunch of headcanons, ideas, and homebrews that I’ve got floating around my brain! Feel free to steal any you like for your own games, if ya wanna! Or don’t! It’s your call!
(Also, just a fair warning, I will probably be using Harengon and Rabbitfolk interchangeably, just so you know. They mean the same thing, just figured I’d say so so that people don’t think I’m sliding in a random sub race or something.)
Everybody knows that the Harengon have sharp hearing, those floppy ears aren’t just for show, but a lot of people fail to realize exactly how sharp. Most Rabbitfolk can easily hear through walls, pick out individual voices in a crowd, and hear the heartbeats of other beings. Some can even identify people by their individual heartbeats and breathing patterns, if they know the person well enough.
Harengon are native to the Feywild, and while many of them have left for more mundane places for one reason or another, a little bit of Fey weirdness tends to follow them wherever they go. Maybe they plant a rose, and then when it grows up it turns purple, maybe all the stray cats in their neighborhood are unusually friendly towards them, maybe when they hum a tune, if you listen closely you might hear someone playing along with a flute. Just, minor, harmless, magical weirdness. There’s no real rhyme or reason to it, it just happens sometimes.
Rabbitfolk live for hugs. They love hugging and being hugged. If you are friends with a Harengon, you will be hugged, sometimes with great force. Because these guys hop and jump everywhere, and sometimes they see a friend in need of hugging, and decide that the fastest way to achieve that goal is by jumping at them. So yeah, flying tackle hugs are very much on the table.
Much like Elves, who also originated from the Feywild, Harengon have an extended lifespan, about 500 years or so on average.
Despite being rabbit shaped, Rabbitfolk are not herbivores. Or at least, not completely. They have no problem eating animal products, like milk or eggs, and they have no problems with fish either, but red meat like beef or pork makes them very ill, and poultry isn’t much better. Weirdly enough though, they have no issues with reptile meat, and in fact even crave it. Lizard and turtle are beloved staples at many a Harengon table, and snakes? Oh, they LOVE snake! Grilled Python steak is considered a delicacy among Rabbitfolk, and deep-fried Adder meat is a must have treat at county fairs and festivals. Scholars have been scratching their heads for centuries over this bizarre biological phenomenon, but as is the case with many oddities from the Feywild, the best they can do is shrug and say “Eh, it’s fairy stuff, don’t question it.”(Side note, many Harengon call snake meat ‘sneef.’ I couldn’t think of anywhere else to say that, but I had to say it, so there you go.)
Speaking of food, Rabbitfolk have a high metabolism, so they tend to eat a lot more than most folk. Which might be a major reason why food is so important to their culture. For starters, the Harengon are always on the lookout for an excuse to throw a feast, even if it’s only with friends or family. Birthday? Feast! Just finished finals? Get the good silverware out, it’s time to eat! Just got back from a dangerous quest with your party? Celebrate still being alive by stuffing your face! Basically any excuse is a good excuse to eat a lot and have fun. Another big role food plays in their society is a display of trust and friendship. Buying/making someone a drink or a meal without payment or recompense of some kind is a big deal among Rabbitfolk. It’s a statement, both to the recipient and anyone who happens to be watching. It basically means: “This person is important to me, I care about their well being, and anyone who wants to get to them, will have to deal with me too.”
While they are exceptionally cute, the big floppy ears of the Rabbitfolk can be a bit bothersome during strenuous activity, flopping around and getting in the way. So a lot of folks tie them back with something like a hair tie or scrunchie when they’re out and about. Some Rabbitfolk with a bit more coin to sling around might have custom made hats, hoods, or veils to do the job and look a bit fancier while doing it.
Rabbitfolk culture takes things like oaths, promises, and commitments very seriously. Most scholars believe it’s a hold-over from their Feywild origins, where words have a frightening amount of power, and one slip of the tongue or misjudged phrase could spell disaster. Regardless of why, Harengon are raised to weigh every big commitment heavily before making a choice, examining every angle and detail, and when they finally make a decision, they are committed. When Harengon marry, it’s for life! If they sign a contract, they will carry it out the letter if it’s the last thing they do! If they promise to be your friend till the end, they aren’t being hyperbolic, they are by your side hell or high water, ride or die! So yeah, these are some very dedicated hippity hops. Mind you, they aren’t throwing around these promises all over the place, like I said, they’re very careful about it, and will call out anybody trying to swindle them.
Because of their sharp hearing, Rabbitfolk tend to be very in tune to the people around them. They aren’t full on empaths, but their generally pretty good at reading people’s emotions by paying attention to their breathing, heart rate, posture, etc.
Unsurprisingly, given their advanced hearing, Rabbitfolk love music. Since they can hear on a level that most humanoids couldn’t even imagine, it’s an almost euphoric experience for them. Imagine being able to see additional colors in a painting that no one else can, or see a beautiful sculpture in 4D. It’s a bit hard to describe, but I think you get the gist of it. Musicians are highly prized in their culture, and a lot of Harengon become Bards because of it.
Generally speaking, most Harengon don’t mind being called cute. They consider it a complement, really. But sometimes people assume ‘cute’ means ‘not worth taking seriously’ and that Rabbitfolk do take offense to, very much so. They especially hate being treated like dumb children, or even worse, baby talk. There is no phrase in all the planes that pisses off a Rabbitfolk faster than “Wittle Bunny Wabbit.” Some get so harassed, that they develop a little bit of a Napoleon Complex.

Tumblr media
3.5k | being snowed in with a broken heater is anything but ideal. when your favorite thick blanket and the layers of fluffy sweaters no longer cut it, your roommate ask of you something you just can’t turn down.
Tumblr media
five days.
it has been five days in which the snow storm forced you and atsumu to stay inside. the first day was fine. the power hadn’t went out and your heater was set to a temperature that you and atsumu agreed on. your phones and other electronics were fully charged and ready to use for emergencies or for quick netflix binges. everything was okay.
day two came a little harsher. waking up with your hairs on the back of your neck standing, you realized the power had finally went. it was sometime in the early morning, but even within a short time span the chilly air was still able to nip through the interior. no power meant no heater or hot water. the day dragged on just like anyone would expect. atsumu had complained for hours upon hours. screeching dramatically and throwing his body on the floor like a child who wasn’t allowed to eat candy before dinner.
day three was just as bad if not worse. no amount of blankets and thick winter coats could fight off the cold. you wake up with your teeth chattering, your body shaking, and to top it all off, you think you might be getting sick too. you could tell night had finally came when everything got immensely worst. your breath frosted and sneezing between you and atsumu was non-stop. this was also the day you proposed that the two of you cuddle up for extra warmth. it was a casual conversation that you had to murmur between glassy breaths.
reluctantly, atsumu agreed. at first, he turned away saying something about not “liking the cuddling lifestyle”. you rolled your eyes at his claim because everyone loves cuddles. you had gotten excited at the aspect of showing him what a good session can awaken within. your theory was proven right later into the night though. you rested your head on his shoulder, using some candle light to read through a chapter of a book you’ve been into recently. an exciting thriller that has you anticipatingly flipping through page after page.
atsumu was doing his own thing though. what it was? you didn’t know. really you weren’t paying attention. even when he hummed and grumbled lowly a few times, your brushed it off. not wanting to stray away from the words on the pages, you hoped he worked out whatever his problem is by himself. the last straw though was when his fingers slowly creeped up your thigh.
you shifted your attention, eyeing the man besides you. he boldly holds your stare. he’s daring enough to put on a nonchalant expression, face completely relaxed. his hues shine with something hidden behind them. something you can’t quite make out but they have you not wanting to look away. he doesn’t say anything and for a while the two of you just stare. 
when you drop the book was when he finally pounced. 
“’bout damn time,” he teases. 
in seconds, he pulls you close. your back flush against his chest and his arms pulled you in by your middle, resting there. your sat in between his crossed legs. you had no words at first. everything had happened so fast. for a second you sit there wide-eyed and in shock, fazed and stare lingering in the darkness. then you felt  the comforting warmth slowly creep in. when he spoke, the vibration in his chest felt inviting and things went lax again.
“keep your mouth open ‘nd a fly ‘ill get in there.” you can’t help but laugh.
“whatever happened to ‘not the cuddling type’, huh?”
“shut the fuck up,” venomous words but the way he dug his nose into your neck proved the opposite. 
day four went the same way except now you were both all over each other. the night before had broken something between the two of you that wasn’t just roommates status anymore. he’s become a friend and someone you actually look forward to hanging out and talking with. you see pass his honestly and realize that he’s actually quite charming too. atsumu had thrown you tons of curveballs that day and getting to know him was fun. you recall when you where practically straddling his lap, your hands roaming anywhere and everywhere. 
you faced him, eyes soft and laughter apparent because who knew he was a jokester too. gently caressing at his sharp jaw then sliding down to his firm pecs. your hands roamed his body like an ocean waiting to be ventured. with every feather-like touch, you learned another thing that day. miya atsumu is incredibly attractive. you’ll never admit it to him (because you also learned that miya atsumu has an incredibly large ego), but you must be insane if it took you a damn snow storm to realize something that’s so blaringly obvious.
day five was the day he came to you with that intimate proposal. cuddling in any and every position possible was something that was easy for you to do. you’ve warmed up with close friends, both male and female, so you could say that the special act doesn’t truly mean anything, but this– dear god, this man will be the death of you. 
“you want to– what?” you practically screech. you jump back from his body, already missing the heat, but you want to look him dead in the eyes. his eyes, are the most expressive thing about him. atsumu can lie and tease but there was no getting past him when you gazed into his golden hues, but was he really saying what you think he was saying?
“cuddling and all that can only do so much, yanno?” silence. but he goes on anyway, “thought this was a more... practical solution.” and in pure atsumu matter, he doesn’t stray away from you. looking you dead in the eye with all the confidence in the world. there’s no teasing smile or sarcastic cackle. he’s serious. this attractive man that has women constantly falling at his feet... wants to fuck you.
“this is like for the warmth and all that... right?” you’re hesitant. he can see it in the way you look at him. your hues are clouded with all sorts of swirling emotions; concern, worry, uncertainty. he thinks about taking it back. but it’s far too late for doubt now.
“yeah, for the heat,” he repeats it to reassure you or maybe to reassure himself, he doesn’t know. atsumu sits before you. his hair messy from all the times you ran your hand through it and his cheeks are slightly colored pink. why was this such an awkward conversation to have? there’s a constructing feeling in his chest. he feels like he’s suffocating like every breath he takes is stopped by words trying to choke themselves out of his throat. perhaps it’s the cold finally getting to him or maybe it’s the way the candle light perfectly frames your face. 
“so are ya in?”
it’s the way he bit at his lips that get you contemplating. the way he looked at ready to take you whenever and wherever you asked. it was the anxious way he his leg bounced and the ghost-like circles he was rubbing into your thigh. it set ablaze a trail of desire wherever he touched. it laced your veins with adrenaline and lust made for him by him. him, him, him.
when you leaned into his lips was when he finally got an answer. 
Tumblr media
“oh, shit,” you sink down on him as the words leave his mouth.
your lips wrapped around him and he mumbles something thing under his breath that you can’t really catch. the warmth from your tongue makes his stomach tighten. the sight from above looks incredible. your down on your knees, mouth stuffed with his cock, and your sweet little ass on display just for him. atsumu lays right at the edge of your bed, legs spread just wide enough for you to kneel between them. one hand pets at your hair, lacing it between your locks.
the way you expertly circle his tip and how your hands play with his balls, makes him sees stars behind his lids. his stomach tenses with every swallow, every small hum that erupts from your throat. god, you are going to be the death of him. when you look up, you let out a small moan, absolutely loving atsumu’s fucked out expression. his thin lips pout at you, his chest is heavy and falls unevenly. it motivates you, the way he groans and grunts; the way he falls apart at your touch.
“just like that, doll. mhm,” he praises. when you look up, his eyes are half-lidded, clouded with lust meant only for you. a small smirk plays at his lips. he’s completely enamored, sweat beads at his forehead and you don’t think he’s ever looked prettier.
your jaw goes slack when you feel his hips buck. you bob your head, gladly welcoming his shallow thrust. the feeling of his dick heavy on your tongue while he forces you to slide further down makes heat between your legs pool. atsumu takes your humming as a sign to go deeper. soon you’re nose is pressed up on his skin and you’re choking on his cock.
“you’re so pretty like this,” he punctuates his praise with a harsh slap to your ass. the sudden movement makes you fly forward, effortlessly swallowing his dick down again. atsumu is clearly caught off guard. he let’s out a surprised mewl, hip stuttering at the overwhelming pleasure.
“fuck– with y- your mouth full of my cock.”
his grip tightens with every thrust. your scalp burns with all the harsh tugging. there’s droll and snot leaking down from your face but it’s all worth it. your lungs burn, begging you for any kind of air. like he was reading your mind, he lets off of you for few seconds. the lewd pop that follows after rips through the empty room as you catch your breath but that sly smile remains on his face. 
even with your heavy panting and watery eyes, atsumu doesn’t exactly let up. his length rest, merely inches away from your face. he pets at your hair, tugging your locks to give him more access to your neck. you shudder when he starts peppering your skin with soft kisses. your eyes flutter close, enjoying the way he nips and sucks at your neck. that’s definitely going to leave a mark, but you don’t find yourself caring. 
his mouth goes to work while his other hand roams your valley. without hesitation, atsumu slides his hand lower cupping your ass. “fits like a gem,” you hear him mumble between sloppy sucking. the breath he lets out tickles your ear, sending shivers down your spine.
his hand slides up to your front, grazing your nipples through the thick lace of your bra. opening your eyes, you look up just in time to see his gaze darken. reaching higher, atsumu cups the back of your neck. there’s a moment in which he stills. golden eyes bore into your own hues. a plain of emotions swirl within him. admiration in the way he smiles at you, hunger in the way he bits his lips. his hair is messy, tousled with all the times you delicately laced your fingers through them and his lips are swollen from the way he was marking you.
there’s only one word that comes to mind; “pretty.”  you didn’t mean it aloud, but when it comes to atsumu your brain short circuits and all sense is thrown out the window. you feel your face heat up at the embarrassingly simple compliment. 
“speakin’ about yerself, now?” of course, he would. typical atsumu miya with his smooth words that make all the panties drop (including yours). you let out a breathy giggle, liking the way your checks ache with all the smiling. without another thought, his head dips down to your own capturing your lips in a heated kiss. 
it’s lazy and sloppy. all teeth and tongue and no space to breath or think, but you like it like this. you like atsumu like this. raw, exposed, and yours. his hands roam to the back of your thighs, pinching slightly in hopes you get the hint. he wants you. now. 
without breaking away, you lean into atsumu. his back gently lands on your sheets, pillows and blankets shaping his tone body to perfection. you brace your arms to help with the fall, successfully trapping him between your body.
“atsumu,” you say, breaking free. 
“hhm?”
“please, fuck me.”
he chuckles, “say less, doll.”
pulling your sweatpants down, his big hands grope your ass in the process. he moves quickly, rushing to get you ready for him. in one swift moment, your underwear is gone and thrown carelessly somewhere.
“you’re so shameless, baby, with that demanding mouth,” flipping you over, you’re under him now. body perfectly, angled so he can see your pretty features  shift whenever he fucks you just right. he loves seeing your mouth agape. loves how you hang off every word, how your body quivers with every touch, how you cry and moan his name. it’s beautiful. you’re beautiful. 
he leaves a trail of kisses down your body until he’s mere inches away from your cunt. his fingers brush against the thin lining of your panties. why you still have them on is beyond him. arousal leaks through the material while atsumu presses against your heat.
“ah– ‘tsumu,” your breathing is frantic when he presses a fleeting kiss on your clothes core. “you’re such a t-tease.” 
he doesn’t say anything. allowing his actions to speak for him. he teases you, hooking his fingers under the thin lace. the way his cold digits brush at your heat makes for a delicious contrast. 
“you look so good,” he purrs pressing a kiss to the inner part of your thigh. “and you’re absolutely fuckin’ dripping. bet i could just slide right into ya.” his fingers are relentless, they ghost over your clit tracing feather-like circles. it’s enough for short spikes of pleasure to rush through you but just as quickly as they come, they’re gone.
“do you want me?”
“god, yes.”
“beg for it then.”
like clock work, you do. “please, ‘tsumu. i need you so bad right now. your hands, your tongue, your cock-- everything. please, i just wanna feel you so bad.”
“ehh,” he ponders before pressing a kiss to your thighs. “could be better.”
it’s stupid the way your heart flutters at his playful teasing. looking up at him through your hazy eyes, you try your best to muster up the perfect puppy dog face. “please, ‘tsumu?” 
he lets out a huff, “god, you’re so annoying.” everything happens so fast. one second, atsumu is softly pecking at your neck. the next he’s roughly grabbing at you, complete man-handling. 
he pulls you impossibly closer. there is no warning or preparation. he rams himself into you, completely taken over by the way your tight pussy swallows him whole. the burn feels fucking painful, you can’t help the screams that tremble from your lips. 
“oh my f-fucking-- mhpm, god!” he’s so big, in length and thickness. moans fill the room while he fills you up. your hot, wet walls clench around him and he groans at the delicious feeling.
“yer so fucking tight, holy shit.” he nuzzles his nose into your neck. “love this cunt so fucking much.” another slap to the ass that rips a deep moan from you.
“please, ‘tsumu,” you pant.
and at that moment, something within him finally snaps. pulling out from your sopping cunt, the tip of his dick rest within you, then in the same second he slams back into your entrance. lewd moans rip from the both of you while pure euphoria runs through your blood. you arch you back, pressing your chest to his, eyes rolling back every time he rams back into you. with each thrust and roll of your hip, his dick rubs at the spot that makes you see stars.
“you feel so good,” you whimper out watching as his dick pumps in and out of your pussy. “filling me up so good-- fuck, with your big dick.”
he shudders at your words, head coming down to latch onto your pebbled nipples. his tongue laps around the sensitive bud while his spare hand kneads at your other breast. a sharp inhale escapes you in between sobs. his hands are freezing from the chilly air within your apartment. it’s like ice on your skin, a complete contrast to how heated you feels. the feeling knocks you back into reality; you and atsumu are fucking in the middle of a snowstorm.
“how’s that feel, babe?” you answer him with a wanton gasp.
“absolutely fucking amazing,” you punctuate your pleasure with a deep roll of your hips. atsumu chuckles, a mix of a strangled moan and teasing.
 “god, yer such a little freak.” he leans down again repeating his action to your other breast. deep thrust becoming more frequent now.
“only f-for you.” 
your words spur him on, atsumu angles his hips to pound onto the one spot that has you crying out. he has your body shaking, his name tumbles out of your mouth like a mantra while he wrecks your body, moaning into your neck. 
the knot of your pleasure tighten. it burns like a white hot coils that’s about to snap. he knows you’re close. with the way your pussy sporadically clenches around him making him groan. god, you’re almost there. he can feel it. your orgasm is right at the tip of your tongue. so close yet so fucking far. you need more and he senses that with the way you silently beg him. “harder, please-- oh, god.” 
your words get caught on your tongue. he fucks right into you with a force so hard, you might have forgotten how to breath. “yes, just l-like that. hmph.”
“fuck yeah,” he groans, nipping your neck. “so good to me, fuck. such a good girl keeping me nice and warm and shit.” at that, you squeeze around him and he lets out a lewd groan. his cold digits travel down your body, rubbing circles around your messy clit. it’s all too much. the way he expertly runts into you, the pleasure his fingers give you, the way he praises you and nips at all your sensitive spots. 
all you can manage at this point are a high pitched whimpers and pleas of his name. sweat drips down both your bodies, your walls clench around him like a vice as he tries his best to fuck you hard. every thrust brushes right at your sweet spot, clouding your vision. a fire burns within you, leaving you gasping and moaning between sobs of air. 
“cum for me, doll.”
and with his words and one last thrust, the coil finally snaps. pleasure rushes through your body in euphoric waves taking over you. your veins pump absolute bliss through you. atsumu follows soon after, painting your walls with spurts of his seed. overwhelming, toe-curling pleasure floods within you both like surges of electricity. his lips find yours as the last parts of your orgasm finally dies.
once he catches his breath, he pulls away smiling down at the way you look effortlessly gorgeous with his cum stuffed in you. you meet his hues too, mirroring the same exact smile. 
your room is dark, curtesy of the snow covering your windows. candles flicker at your nightstand, painting the room in a dim, yellowish hue. fatigue hits you like a train. all you want is to lay down, close your eyes and welcome the sweet relief of slumber. shifting around, you turn on your side body molding perfectly spooning atsumu. 
“sleepy already?” 
the bedsheets shift towards you. despite having your eyes closed, you can feel atsumu’s hues on you watching  the way your eyelashes fall perfectly on your cheek. you’re so warm and soft. effortlessly gorgeous with or without trying. your hair threads down on your pillow, spiraling to an abrupt end. he wants to run his hands through it, massaging at your scalp to sooth the aching.
then he reminds himself he can. when he’s meet with a mumbled response and a slight hum, he takes the hint. in your haze, you feel the weight of his arms wrap around your body cuddling up to you impossibly closer. 
his breath tickles at your neck, “goodnight, baby.”
(atsumu eyes the way you fall lax within his arms. your legs tangled and wrapped within the thick layers of your comforter. his heart beat rapidly and the smile on his face, despite the exhaustion that laces his veins, can't stop. atsumu isn’t an idiot. he knows what all these symptoms mean, but for now that’s a talk for another time. for now, he’ll silently thank whatever god out there for the terrible weather that brought the two of you closer then ever before. for now, he’ll enjoy the way your body molds perfectly to his.)

Hello there!! How would you interpret a Virgo Mars (22 degrees), Virgo Lilith (14 degrees), and virgo fortune (28 degrees) in the 10th house (All of these placements sit in my 10th house). Also my midheaven is in virgo (6 degree). Any other thoughts on these placements would also be great!! Thanks
Heya lovely! Since I'm trying to keep this simple and where other people can resonate, I will divide this into different sections, plus it makes it easier to read! Gorgeous placements hon! 🥰
Tumblr media
Through the sign
Virgo Mars
Having this placement can make you a perfectionist! You can be really clean or organized in general and often make the effort to do your best wherever you put your energy (specifically whatever house this is in) This placement gives you a creative gift in arts and crafts as well (leo/libra sit beside it 😉) if you have art projects of any sort you could be quite fast with them however your perfectionism will slow you down, you like to make sure the work is worth your time. Some people with this aspect are very much into health. This can range from excercising often all the way to just dieting and skincare! However this placement also has a tendency towards having insecurities because of this. If they think they are overweight, have way to many health concerns then they can get quite pessimistic and feel dull. Since Virgo originally rules the 6th house of health and here it's in Mars, be careful around fires + heat. Since Mars is placed in this Mercurian sign, be careful of running/asthma only if you are more prone to it. If someone picks an argument with this placement they can be the type to lean towards logic over emotion. They like to be practical in their approach to anger and would rather have an intellectual debate of both sides rather than waste their time with nonsense of emotion. Virgo Mars are generally very sweet spoken and easy to get along with. They prefer a non argumentative route and to stick to peace, if they are perhaps challenged in this area though they won't be afraid to snap back. If you get a pet they could have a bit of Mars influence, they may be energetic, sassy and/or in good health. Stray away from cigerettes and inhaling smoke of any sort if you can 🥰
Virgo Lilith
Here we have someone who was possibly held back in Virgos domain. These people might have had to deal with siblings (if they have any) that didn't respect their ideas or personal beliefs on freedom. These people could have had to deal with parents/guardians that didn't take their health concerns as seriously as they should have been taken. This placement has an inner need to be free from the constraints of routine and generally likes being the leader of it rather than following what most consider normal. They enjoy routine, however they just don't enjoy doing it the mundane way is all! If they were ever bed bound/had a serious illness, this placement shows them feeling trapped at some point, and now they despise this feeling. On an uncommon occasion these people could have also dealt with either an excessive overabundance of tasks very often or none at all which has made them the way they are today. Since Virgo is also about perfectionism, this placement can make someone extremely tedious and detail oriented in whatever house it's in! Since Virgo is also known as the virgin woman as a constellation, they could have had issues with sexuality from people in general at some point in their lives. This is a scary position if a boss/manager has it. A slight messup from a worker can cause great distress and possibly an easy ticket out the door. They are uptight as authority and will enjoy seeing nothing less than what they expect
POF in Virgo
Oh fun! You will find your fortune (mental and/or physical happiness) from being of service to others in this lifetime. An example is a school counsellor! They help their students to achieve the best that they can be and also check in on them to see how they are feeling, now in your case, you would gain happiness from it! You can be mysteriously lucky in areas revolving keeping things in order (not losing items/files/etc), having a good relationship with co-workers, health and animals or fitness (energy related health) in general. Speaking of animals, if you ever get a pet, this will be like a luck magnet! When someone with POF in Virgo has a pet they find emotional security!
Virgo MC
People with this are generally seen as easy-going, possibly shy/reserved and sweet natured to the public. At work you can come off as neat, tidy, well spoken and organized. People can get the impression that your life is put together and well kept. Careers areas this placement focuses on are:
Prison
Health (Fitness or Medical)
Animals
Teaching/Counseling
Library/Literature
Management
Communication
Analyzing
Observation/Research
Chemists
Software development or design
Through the house
Mars in the 10th house
Mars in the 10th house can indicate using a lot of energy in whatever career you aspire towards! This energy can range from mental to physical and will be of great help on your journey. This placement can also show us people whom give the impression of being quite charismatic in public or at work. They typically have a "don't get on my bad side" vibe about them too which can make them not-so-easy targets when it comes to business. There might be disagreements with the law and people in higher positions of power. They might question your ethics and vice versa, this can cause some friction if this placement doesn't find a good medium. In the work life if someone with this placement is a businessman/women then they can be real fighters in the field of marketing and rivals. These people also are much better off as being their own boss or in some sort of fluid work position where they can control their own doings as Mars enjoys being head on and in charge. This is a very hands on position! For some people the Dad could have been a workaholic or they got heated up quite easily
Lilith in the 10th house
An interesting placement here! Older men/woman, bosses, higher ranked colleagues and etc could want to take advantage of your work, take credit or overall control your work ethic. This is a major entrepreneur placement as these people generally enjoy working for themselves, controlling their hours, schedule and so on. Lilith here doesn't like being confined by rules all the time. She wants to be able to express herself wherever she goes. This placement can show someone having a dress code, style code any work code in general and not being able to express their unique things about them (such as hairy dye, piercings, tattoos, stylish clothes, etc). Also if you do in fact enjoy showing off what you truly are like, you can be shut off from society in some way or people may judge what you do with yourself or how you like to come across in public. However this is bad, because this can cause such a person to overexaggerate what others were trying to keep hidden out of spite. So this can cause fights with bosses or arguments with people who question your way of going about life. People here can have a rocky relationship with their father figure or whoever was in charge of the house/income as well. This is not an easy aspect for career however it can teach a lot! There might be people who are also jealous of you or envy something about you, this can cause some hate from a portion of the public, but on the other hand, there's also a lot of people that admire someone with this placement. To the point of obsession or trying to follow the leader. Famous people with this tend to have extreme fans but also haters. You can also become resentful or envious also though! It's moreover to people who are in higher status or power than you, you tend to strive to be the best
POF in the 10th house
You have luck in the realm of career! You will find happiness in pursuing your dream job and might have luck on your side when it comes down to it! People with this placement can learn a lot from their fathers and bosses. You tend to find happiness by being in charge while working too! If you are an owner of a business then you can find your greatest successes by meeting eye-to-eye with the public. If people want a certain product then by giving them that certain product you will gain great rewards! If you aspire to be famous you actually can have this lucky ticket, as this POF acts as a wonderful placement and may make the process easier than others. Whatever zodiac it's in can show how your reputation can easily skyrocket (EX: Virgo -> by taking care of people, providing quality work effort)
Have a wonderful day! 🥳

when you can’t think of the word for something...like this fic </3
Summary: Harry’s family navigating his impending fame, and the activity of reader and harry making their first belly cast
Warnings: fluff, slight angst?
Pairing: Husband, Dad!Harry x reader 
“Hey! We’re back!” you yelled out, Harry following closely behind you as he shut the door,  carefully slipping off your sneakers. It was pretty late at least for the two of you now. The sun was away, you and H coming back from your well deserved date night. 
At the familiar sound of the slamming door came the different steps of your kids. Shuffling down the steps from your view you could see the face of your oldest ahead of the covey, bolting towards the two of you. The various sounds of ‘mom’,’mummy’, and ‘dad’ spoken out. 
“You guys took forever” Sydnie; seventeen, was the first to say, exasperated as she latched onto you. But was quickly shuffled away by the twins. “Bloo” the seven year old was born a Penelope, but after watching her favorite show Winx Club when she was three. Demanded she be called after her favorite character Bloom, but couldn’t pronounce the name all the way through. If you had called her by official name she wouldn’t respond, going on about her day as if no one was there. And it had stuck since then, forever the stubborn one only to grow into a sweet, shy little girl.
 And Alec, fraternal twins who had just turned seven.
“Careful babies the baby, remember” Harry lightly reminded. With that reminder he had loosened his secure hold.
“Well sorry” you teased, kissing all their forehead quickly “But we bought you guys some food too” you reported, holding up the labeled bag.
They responded with excited statements, as Sydnie took the bag from your hold, running to the kitchen with her siblings. 
“My hugs!” Harry yelled out, hands cupping his mouth then putting his brawny arms out like a plane awaiting their bodies to clash into his. “ought to take away your allowance for that one” Harry teases, fingers stretching out to tickle anywhere they could. 
As a result he got a lively mix of groans, laughs, and pleas.
“Joking” Harry says abruptly, kissing each of their cheeks before conducting all of you to the kitchen, assisting the twins into their own seatings at the kitchen. The light above all of you illuminating the room.
Embarrassingly enough it had been when you were pulling the plastic containers from the brown bag that you realized you were missing a kid. 
“Where’s your brother?” you asked, opening Bloo’s Spaghetti and spreading it on the white plate.
“Talking to his girlfriend” Sydnie air quoted, rolling her father-like eyes.
“Why do you say it like that?” Harry asked, wonderingly his back turned, reaching for the Placemats, setting them in front of each child. Placing one in front of an empty stool for Chase. 
“Daddy, he’s delusional! I’ve told him a million times. She found out his last name, connected the dots, and now she’s interested. I would know it’s happened to me hundreds of times since middle school” she said indignantly.
Finishing the last plate up, from the side of your eyes you could see and sense his deflation at the statement. Always overthinking about their last names and what it would entail as they grow up with Harry Styles as their father. His top five worry ever since the first time you were pregnant. His breaking point, however, had been when Sydnie came home, furious. From a day from school finding out that some girl in her class had tried getting closer to her with ill intentions. 
He could also sense the worry that washed over you, catching your eye to let you know he was fine. 
“He’s old enough to know better. He’ll be fine Syd,” you let her know, reaching your hand to fix the hoodie that overshadowed her precious face.
“I wasn’t, it sucks and he’s not taking me seriously”
“Cause you’re full of it” shifting your eyes to the doorway, the sixteen-year-old walked in towards you. His arm over your shoulders before placing a kiss to your cheek. Then making his way to his dad, who had pulled him in setting a kiss to his temple. 
“You say that but just you wait!” she walked over to him quickly, flicking his the back of his head, shifting her way over to the fridge before he could retaliate. Pulling out a drink and some cups for everyone else, almost bustling into you, as you made your way to the microwave.
“Don’t wish that on your brother” Harry persisted.
“I’m not, but he better not come crying to me”
"Whatever” he paid her no mind, shifting the conversation to his parents. “How was your date?” he asked, setting himself at the island. 
“‘Was fine we went to the arcade, I beat mum’s butt––”
“He’s lying, I beat him at air hockey”
“Just air hockey mum?” Bloo asked, a slight lisp from her missing front teeth. Her attention strayed away while Sydnie placed her cup in front of her, filling it with juice.
“Sadly” you mimicked a pout, Harry smiling with a smug grin. 
“Then went to dinner. Guess what” he exclaimed, directing his energy towards Alec”
“Mummy looked so pretty tonight, some chum couldn’t stop eyeing her. So I had to give him a knuckle” he told the story, raising his fist and mirthfully brought it to Alec’s stomach. Eliciting giggles from his which bounced off to Bloo. The rest of you with gratified smiles at the meaningful interaction. 
“Why are you such a fibber tonight” you urged Harry, smacking his shoulder. 
“I’m not lying” he said, walking to you till he was hovering over your back, trying to annoy you with his insistent cheek kisses.
“Go away” you whined, faking your displeasure, shrugging your shoulders. The kids could note your slight smile except for him.
“Go away” he mocked.
“We all know you wouldn’t hurt a fly” Chase pointed out correctly. Thanking you as you set his plate of food in front of him. 
Harry stood across the herd,resting back against the quartz countertop, arms crossed. Until you cuddled yourself into his side. His arm reaching down so his thumb could rub against the side of your belly. Your arms encircled around his waist, head on his chest.
“Not true” he replied. 
“It’s okay, it’s why I married you” you sweetly said with a smile adoring your face. He could only look down at you with a close lipped smile reflecting yours, his dimple digging deep. Leaning down to kiss you, filling you up with his love for you. 
Both of you had pulled away abruptly from the range of disgusted protests and a slam of an utensil. All except for sweet, shy Bloo. Who had watched with a smile on her face idolizing the love of her parents, swearing it was like the Disney movies. Like her favorite Princess and the Frog.
“We’re trying to eat!” Chase had said dramatically, pasta in his mouth. Sydnie covers her eyes with both hands, while Alec stuck out his tongue finger to his mouth. 
“None of you would be here, if it wasn’t for this” you emphasized, your finger waving between you and H. 
“No duh, you both won’t stop having children” Sydnie overstated, shuddering stagy. 
It was late now, all of you stayed downstairs, more overdue than intended. The twins went down an hour early before the other two. Chase and Sydnie finished their meals for the night and instead of leaving, stayed up talking to their parents.
In your sleep shorts and a light weight tank top, your hands were in Harry’s who was massaging them softly. 
“Do you wanna talk about it?” you asked feebly, peeking up at the overly focused man. 
“We’ve had this conversation a handful of times, don’t see why we need to have it again” he replied, glancing at you quickly.
“I know, but it might make you feel a little better” you tried again not wanting to push him too far. 
“I–It’s just” he had to stop for a minute, his throat closing up too much to even speak clearly. You propped yourself up against the headboard, your lower back aching a little bit, adjusting Harry so his red tainted face was laid on your shoulder. 
You could only coo at him, kissing his forehead, while your hand ran laxly on the side of his face. Your fingers brushing against the slight scruff against his cheek. Before moving your arm so your hand could massage his scalp at the back of his neck. Letting your fingers run through his lengthy hair at the same time. Your other arm reaches over to pluck a piece of tissue from the box, wiping under his nose softly. 
“Just want them to have a normal life like you and me, it isn’t fair to them that they’ve got to deal with shit like this constantly because of me”
“Baby don’t say that, regardless of it all they’d still have to go through life meeting awful people”
“It isn’t the same y/n, with people like them they know the reason is because of their stupid last name.”
“H” you start sternly, rocking the both of you slowly “Don’t say stuff like that, you think if they had to choose you wouldn’t be their dad? They cherish you so much. I know it sucks I do, but you’re an amazing dad, there’s no one better for them. They would never hold something like that against you, they love you too much to”
“You’re a brilliant mum too. I’m sorry”
“You don’t need to apologize baby” You stopped rocking the two of you slowly, smiling down at him only to see: glossy somber eyes, a subtle simper, and a hiccuping chest.  
-
“Stomachs getting bigger” he stated, his hand rubbing against your stomach absentmindedly.
“Thank you baby, just what every girl wants to hear” 
“No! Not like that beautiful. Just meant now people can see your pregnant again”
“I’m teasing H, I promise the hormones haven’t kicked in yet.”
“Finally get to sleep with ur boobs in front of me every night” He said smugly, naturally looking at you for his favourable reaction.
“You’re such a child” you return, pinching his arm lightly “You wouldn’t want to put it in the nursery?” you ask.
“Wherever you want angel”
That radiant morning led you to now, an impromptu family trip to Target, the kids getting whatever their hearts desired–– to an extent–– while you and Harry stood here astonished by the arrays of different casting kits. 
You raise your conjoined hands to point your finger at a baby blue box.
“That one? Genie told me that’s the one she bought” you queried.
He inspected it, twisting the box practically reading every word, before turning to look at the ingredients. 
“H you probably don’t know what half of those things are”
He shrugged his shoulder in response, looking at the box one last time. “Sure it was this one?” 
“Positive”
You were both meant to go find the kids until they had bustled around the corner, Chase pushing the loaded cart while everyone walked ahead. At the view of his parents. Alec had run ahead towards the two of you a motor car in his hand. 
“Mummy! Daddy! May I get this please?” he asked, raising the toy above his head. 
“Can I get this too please?” Bloo asked quietly, a lego set sat up in her palms.
“You guys were meant to keep them away from the toys” Harry told the older two. Knowing this would just add to their continual influx of toys. “Yes you guys can, go ahead and put it in the cart”
Alec had done his little dance, skipping his way back to the cart while Bloo walked herself carefully. Placing her set down as low as she could without causing any noise or crushing anything else. 
“You both get everything you need?” you asked, following after the twins along with Harry, placing the kit into the cart. 
You looked down at everything noticing some groceries, a few skincare items, a book, something for their rooms, and other things you couldn’t find that laid underneath everything else.  
“Yep, ready to leave when you are” Sydnie had responded.
“Okay let’s head out, Styles” Harry exclaimed, as low as he could, to not disrupt anyone else, Clapping his ringed hands together once.
“Dude, you’re such a dad” Chase quipped.
“Almost like I’ve been raising kids for seventeen years huh?” He jested back, eyes opening wide in faux disbelief, traveling to bother Chase some more. 
Giggling at the two, you looked down when you felt a body pressing into your leg. Familiar arms around your thigh. A distraught Bloo, looking up at you, her chin resting against your thigh.
“What is it, baby?” you asked, softly, tuning out the rest of your family.
“There’s a lady over there. She keeps looking at us” she informed you, pointing her dainty finger discreetly as she could to the woman at the end of the aisle. 
Being only seven the twins had a mutual understanding on why their dad had to leave at times, but that decreased once more when you had fallen pregnant again. They understood all the rules. 
a) if anyone was ever following, acting suspiciously always let mum or dad know–– if dad was there, definitely dad. b) never talk back to the idiots with the bulky cameras. c) Be careful who you talk to and what you say, some people aren’t always what they may seem. 
“H” you called him over.
He walked over to the two of you, eyebrows elevated in question. His hand instinctively brushing over bloo’s hair.
“Uhm maybe we should send the kids to checkout” you tilted your head backward at the not so prudent woman with the shocked face. Her phone pointing towards the two of you. 
You undoubtedly saw the happiness of his face shift to one of vexation and frustration as he glanced quickly, shrewdly at the woman. He extended his hand out to rub your elbow soothingly, nodding wearily. 
He turned to the kids, masking his face as best as he could. “You guys go ahead and save a spot for us, me and your mum are gonna grab one last thing”
They didn’t care much, just wanting to get home as quickly as they could, Sydnie grabbing both of the twins’ hands. 
-
Harry had kindly walked up to the woman, a displayed smile on his face, asking her to delete whatever she had managed to collect. You watched the encounter from the side, rubbing your belly softly, filled with mild angst. 
She had apologized profusely (the embarrassment seeping in her voice), the kindness in Harry letting her know it was fine as long as he could watch her delete everything. 
From her camera roll, Harry could see a video still of before the kids came, when you and him were looking for a casting kit. And some other videos of the family loitering in the target section. 
He bid her a tight-lipped goodbye, after he kindly asked her again, though it was starting to run low, to go to her recently deleted–– he wasn’t the most tech savvy but he also wasn’t an idiot. Once that was ultimately done, he locked your hand into his. 
“Are you okay?” you asked, securing your other arm up to wind around his.
“Just tired of the bullshit...” he sighed. He was just happy that he was able to protect his family this time. 
You halt him swiftly; he looks back at you in confusion, until you lug him down for as much of a hug as you could. Feeling his shoulders sag in relaxation and his arms winding around your waist. 
-
You stood next to Harry, in front of one of the sinks, reading the instructions. 
“So we start with the lubricant first, use these...” holding up a roll of the plaster tape “dip them into warm water, and just putting them on” you informed Harry of your summary.
He nodded, his lip between his fingers as his eyes roamed over the paper once again. “I’ll go get you a chair, pee before we start” He yelled over his shoulder.
He walked back in, a wooden chair between his hands. Setting it to the floor gently, smiling at you to take a seat. Walking back to the sink,resting his hip against the packet of lubricant in his hand. 
You smiled back at him as you took your seat. Deeming it be fit to wear running shorts and a tank top. Harry only in a pair of his joggers. Surprisingly after four kids, this was your first time trying a belly cast and you were a bit nervous wanting it to look just as perfect as it could–– adding your husband being a precisionist into the mix there was no guessing how this would turn out. 
“Take off your top” Harry said smugly, bringing the white packet to his teeth– side eying you–– while he ripped it off. Turning to start the camera propped up on the counter. You insisted this had to be recorded as a little keepsake for the two of you. 
You could only roll your eyes, trying hard not to feed into his ego. But the heat rising from your neck reported him otherwise. Tucking your arms back in the arm holes and raising the shirt off your body. Your body is bare except for the shorts adorning your legs. 
Ogling at you like a caveman playfully at the sight of your boobs out and about, eliciting quick giggles from you. He walked up to you clasping your face between his palms, pressing your aglow cheeks together lightly–– the white, cold packet sitting against your left cheek lightly. Giving you three earnest kisses to your lips and leaning down in front of you, giving a peck to your belly button. 
He squeezed some of the lubricant onto his fingers, deciding to start under your belly. You hissed at the sudden coldness hitting your skin. 
“Okay?” he asked, eyes a bit wide and mouth slightly open.
“A little cold, but you can continue” you let him know. 
He got at it quickly, once he finished that area he stood up a bit getting the sides of your stomach coated. Once he had finished, you stood up looking in the mirror at the shine of your stomach. 
“Now for the fun part” clapping your palms together sitting back down, wistfully watching Harry wash his hands of the substance. He got the scissors cutting the strips of various sizes. Walking to you at times to make sure it fits properly. 
‘Wouldn’t it be easier if I was next to you’ you asked.
Only to be replied with ‘No reason to have you on your feet, if I can walk to you.’ He unquestionably is just a bag of sunshine and everything good in the world.
Filling the sink with warmish water and placing on gloves. Snapping it on dramatically as if he was a doctor in a drama series.  
“Dork”  
He walked over with the first strip in his hand, water dripping behind him as he stepped closer to you. You pulled out your phone quickly wanting to capture a cute picture of this. Right as he placed the first strip you snapped the image. The only thing being seen was your protruded belly and below, his hands placing the plaster tape to your stomach, and a small tuft of his hair from the top of the picture. 
He pulled away proudly, smiling down at his work, with his hands on his hips. “Look at that, looks perfect huh?”
“You’re doing good so far H” you confirmed.
-
It was only fifteen minutes later, half of your stomach–– and that wasn’t saying much.
“Baby it’s fine we’ll just sand it down” you tried to convince H for the last time, but he was stubborn as ever.
His mouth open in excessive concentration, puzzled brows pulled together as he removed the plaster for the fifth time. And from your point of view, you swore, he placed it back on the exact same spot.
“Just wait” he sighed, it wasn’t where he wanted it to be.
“Harry, we’re gonna be forever” you sighed, swaying your feet softly until one of them accidentally knocked into Harry’s leg. He looked down at you, eyes telling you to quit it. 
“See there, you big baby” he grumbled.
“You’ve set it back into the same spot!” you exclaimed.
“No I haven’t, you’re just impatient...sounded a little brit there” he hummed, turning his back to you as he grabbed another slip. 
“Shut up!” 
-
Then there was, naturally, the sudden interruption.
Bloo had stumbled into the bathroom, expressing out about something one of her brothers did when she stopped taking into account, trying to figure out what was wrong with her mum. 
She gasped, eyes wide at the greying stuff. “What’s wrong with mummy?” she asked, looking between the two of you. 
“Turning mummy into a mummy!” He screeched, holding up a plaster strip. 
She brought her hands up to her mouth eyes growing only wider, her lip already starting to tremble. 
“You and your stupid dad jokes” you pulled Bloo closer to you, turning her back to Harry flipping him off behind her head. 
“We’re just doing a cast, don’t worry baby. Remember that episode of Jessie when Ravi got that mask stuck on Luke’s face and ripped his eyebrows off” you explained, She laughed at the connection of the episode. 
“Kind of like that, but without the eyebrows and we’re just using my belly” bringing your thumb to brush her brows up and the corner of her mouth clean. God what were they doing down there.
“Ohh okay that makes more sense.” you smiled back at her. 
-
And Harry who had a bit too much fun when it came to the upper portion of the cast. Acting like Alec does when Paw patrol was on or when Sydnie when her dad allowed her his card to shop. Finding any reason to smooth down the cast with his wet hands. Or taking his time to cover your nipple, using his thumb to level it out. A haughty expression on his face growing the higher he got from your belly button. 
“You’re acting as if we don’t have sex or take showers together” you tell him, popping another goldfish into your mouth (But not the good ones, the disgusting wheat ones Harry urged you and everyone else in the house to eat instead.)
“As if you don’t act like this when I take off my shirt”
He got you there, looking up at you to see you were not going to give him the eye contact he wanted. Your lips closed tight.
He delicately planted the last strip over the top of one of your breasts. 
“Wait, it doesn’t look right” 
“Harry!”
“Just joking y/n, now we wait five minutes and we can pop this off, sand it, and decorate it however you want” he told you, smiling at the finished product, leaning down to kiss your forehead then your lips.
“Wanna do it like this” you twisted your phone around to show him the image on Pinterest. A light blue belly cast, but you wanted it a pretty purple color, that was held against a frame, with butterflies of surveying sizes going across/diagonally the cast.
“However you want lovie” he told you again, pulling your head to his stomach, leaning down to kiss your head. Your arms winding across his waist.
“Thank you” you hummed in satisfaction.
