Tom Blyth masterlist

Divider by @pommecita

The night in downtown Brooklyn was alive with the rhythmic pulse of city lights and the murmur of laughter drifting from lively bars. You had just finished dinner with a few of your girlfriends, the evening filled good company and shared stories.

As you stepped out of the restaurant, the cool night air embraced you, sending goosebumps up your legs and arms. To your surprise, there he was, Tom, leaning against his sleek motorcycle with a cigarette hanging casually from his lips.

His dark hair tousled by the breeze, and the dim glow of the streetlights casting a mysterious aura around him. You couldn't help but smirk; the unexpected sight of him and his motorcycle sent a thrill through your veins.

Tom flicked his cigarette to the ground and crushed it beneath his boot as he greeted you with a lopsided grin. "Fancy a ride, love?" You look down at your phone briefly, wondering if he called or texted you.

You look back up to him with a mixture of surprise and excitement. "On that?" you pointed to his motorcycle that he had gotten just a few days prior, a sleep black beauty that glistened under the city lights.

He chuckled, his blue eyes gleaming with mischief. "Why not? It's a perfect night for it," His eyes drop to you legs, you were clad in a short skirt. With a thoughtful gesture, he wrapped his leather jacket around your hips, his touch sending shivers down your spine.

"There you go, much better," he remarked, securing the jacket snugly around you. His hands lingered for a moment before he reached for a helmet, placing it gently on your head. The cool metal pressed against your skin, a protective embrace before the ride ahead.

Straddling the motorcycle, Tom looked at you with a playful glint in his eyes. "Ready for a ride, babe?" You couldn't suppress the grin that tugged at your lips. "Always."

With your hand on Tom's shoulder to stabilise yourself, you mounted the motorcycle, your arms finding their placed around your boyfriend's toned waist. The vibration from the engine hummed beneath you as he revved it to life.

As you maneuvered through the streets of Brooklyn, the wind danced around you, whipping through your hair. The cityscape blurred into a mesmerizing tapestry of lights and shadows. Tom navigated the bustling streets with a skillful precision, the growl of the engine harmonizing with the city's nocturnal symphony.

The world felt alive as you clung to him, the energy of the night infusing every passing moment. The scent of the city, a mix of street food and distant ocean breeze, filled the air. You nestled into the leather jacket, reveling in the closeness and the thrill of the ride. Tom's laughter merged with the wind as you sped through Brooklyn's iconic neighborhoods.

hello and welcome to this month’s fic rec featuring my favourite works from what i’ve read during the past weeks. as always, please check tags before reading. if you liked the fics please reblog their posts, leave kudos and write a nice comment. happy reading! 🔒 = only for ao3 users rec tag | more rec lists

— harry/louis —

໑ Tongue Tied by YesIsAWorld / @louandhazaf (G, 1.2k, roommates, curses, love confessions) Louis’ new bestie placed a hand on his shoulder; he turned with a sway and looked into his blue eyes. ”What do you wish?”The world spun for a moment, and Louis shrugged. It was easy. The only thing he wanted. “I wish that I could tell Harry that I love him, instead of getting all tongue tied and chickening out.”The Irishman winked. “You never know, your wish may just come true.”“From your lips to God’s ears, mate.” He gave the man a hug. “I gotta go before my Uber leaves me.”He stumbled to the door, and that was the last thing he remembered from the night.

໑ Touch the Sky and Kiss the Sun by LadyLondonderry / @londonfoginacup (T, 2.1k, friends to lovers, soulmates au, famous louis, makeup artist harry, injury) Louis Tomlinson knows without a shadow of a doubt that Harry Styles is his soulmate.

Harry Styles, Louis is virtually certain, is completely unawares of this fact.

໑ David S Pumpkins by LadyLondonderry / @londonfoginacup (NR, 3.1k, halloween costumes, fae & faeries, samhain) Louis has a Halloween party to go to, and the perfect outfit to wear. It's a little odd that people in weird clothes keep appearing and disappearing. Skeleton outfits? A three piece suit covered in pumpkins?

Mysterious.

໑ Lovers in the Night by @marchessa (E, 4.2k, a/b/o au, prostitute louis, truck driver harry, semi-public sex) “Can I help ya?” The trucker asked with raised eyebrows. Louis shook his head to get out of his daydreaming and get to work. “Hello, handsome,” Louis smiled up at him prettily, making sure to bat his eyelashes in a seductive way. “Want some company?” The one where Harry is a truck driver and Louis is a prostitute at a truck stop.

໑ PILOT by babby_cakess / @_babby_cakes (T, 5.2k, pilot/flight attendant au, semi public sex) “We have fifteen minutes.” Harry glanced down at the watch on his wrist. “How fast do you thinkmy tongue can make you come?” Still against the wall, Louis felt a shiver run from the back ofhis neck down his spine.

In three years walking on moving planes, he'd never had such zero control over his legs.

At least not until now.

໑ White Noise Frequency by whoknows / @crazyupsetter (E, 5.5k, friends, crimes & criminals au) In the dark, something crashes. Louis stirs, barely opening his eyes as he gropes across the bedside table for his phone. Muffled cursing is coming from the hallway, probably about ten feet away from the bedroom door.

Allowing himself the tiniest of smiles, Louis yanks the phone free from the charger and slips out of bed, leaving the blankets pooled on the floor. He doesn’t bother with shoes or clothes, moving silently across the floor in his bare feet. Eyes open now, adjusting to the shadows in the dark room, he waits behind the door, crouched down.

There’s no more noise. Louis waits, breathing slowly, steadily. He’s awake now, fully alert. He’s got a loose grip on his phone, and he doesn’t glance down at the screen no matter how much he wants to. This really shouldn’t be happening anymore. Three years, two new houses, an upgraded security system and actual money to throw at the problem means this definitely shouldn’t be happening anymore.

໑ Spiders Don't Fly But Gods Do by SunshineBoy742 (M, 6.6k, strangers to lovers, marvel au) Louis Tomlinson is an underpaid photojournalist in NYC. He leads a pretty average life, getting shots of town heroes, dodging flirtatious remarks from old coworkers and being the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. But what happens when a sex god comes to crash in his apartment?

໑ always had that heart of mine by localopa / @voulezloux (M, 7.8k, enemies to lovers, a/b/o au, roommates, nesting) louis is nesting, though he won’t admit to it. between being ill, the stress of uni, and near drops, the only thing keeping him afloat is harry’s scent. the fact they don’t get along is neither here nor there

໑ The Knothead Neighbor by Kbbean / @Kristen09924842 (M, 8k, strangers to lovers, neighbours a/b/o au) Prompt 3: Neighbors AU, preferably ABO! Harry works evenings/nights (maybe like a surgeon something that requires him to be gone for long hours) and has a cat. The cat has a little kitty door at the back so that it can explore and such. Louis just moved next door and the cat seems to always end up at his door.

໑ Sugar Water by neversaygoodbye / @tomlinsunsfringe (E, 9.4k, exes to lovers, summer au, ‘cowboy hat’) When his most familiar begins to feel all too unfamiliar, Harry finds out what it means to love like real people do.Or,Harry comes back home from Princeton and has to face the consequences of his actions. The songs for this fic are 'Changes' by Cam and 'The World Spins Madly On' by the Weepies.

໑ you know it ain't fiction, just a natural fact by anditsonlyforthebrave / @HARRYSC1NEMA (NR, 13k, strangers for lovers, uni au, himbo harry, nerd louis) Harry is the golden boy of the college football's team, Louis is their professors' golden student and they definitely don't have anything in common. Falling in love would be dumb.

໑ only you and you alone (can thrill me like you do) by camilevol6 / @svnflouwervol6 (E, 13.3k, established relationship, a/b/o au, 50s, housewife louis) Harry wrinkles his nose as he fights Louis' dress to get his hands underneath it, panting deeply.

"Alpha…"

"I'm still hungry, Louis," he claims with a severity that is derailed by his ragged breathing. "I thought I heard you say you were going to take care of everything."

໑ Stockholm Syndrome by Hazzascul_07 / @hazzascul (M, 13.5k, strangers to lovers, a/b/o au, kidnapping) "That's it!",Harry screamed in his face, "I'm done with you! I'll take you to your home, where you belong, where your father will be waiting for you with a belt in his fucking hands!"

He could not go home. He was finally free. He will do anything to not go back to that place. He desperately and uselessly tried to free his hands, stumbling on his feet.

"NO! No! No please, please, please don't take me back, please! I'll behave, I'll listen to you, I swear! Don't take me back, Harry! Please! Alpha!!" By now tears were flowing down his cheeks.

Screw his stupid brain and his stupid heart. He was too good for the world. He was too hopeful to think that Harry was any different from his father and his brothers.

It was true, all the alphas were the same.

All with their disgusting need to control and breed and ruin the life of an omega. To take and take and take, and never give anything back.

It seemed as if expecting goodness from the world was a crime and he was the biggest sinner.

໑ Sunrise and Pixie Dust by @moonyblouie (M, 14.8k, strangers to lovers, fantasy au, fairy louis, human harry) Harry's taking a walk at sunrise in the forest he knows like the back of his hand when the wind starts blowing, the sky turns pink, and golden glitter starts to fall from the sky. He’s not sure about what’s happening, but when he comes face to face with a gorgeous winged-creature, he can’t help but be immediately mesmerized.

Or an AU in which Harry finds himself crossing the borders between two worlds.

໑ i've got something to confess, i keep you in my pocket to use by babylwt / @finelineangie (E, 16.7k, strangers to lovers, hockey player harry, journalist louis) Prompt 251: Harry is a hockey player and he's in the middle of a press conference when Louis, a journalist, asks him a question. Harry sees him ans says something like "oh my god, he's so beautiful" to his teammate and only realized his mic was on when the pretty boy blushes and the room breaks in a laugh

໑ Swap me for your shadow by @lunarheslwt (E, 16.8k, friends to lovers, a/b/o au, 5+1 things) If Louis thought being in love with his best friend was a knife that continually twisted into his heart before, it was nothing compared to when Harry started to go around talking about having fallen for someone else. A 5+1 fic; 5 times Louis has to listen to Harry’s vague confessions of love for his ‘omega friend’ and the 1 time Louis snaps and confesses his love for Harry.

໑ A Package Deal by @alltheselights (E, 19k, enemies with benefits, doctor louis, cop harry, biscuit the cat) For the past three years, it's just been Louis and his one-eye orange cat, Biscuit. When Louis starts sleeping with Harry, the aggravating cop stationed at the ER where he works, he has no reason to think anything will change. Unfortunately, Biscuit and Harry have other plans.

໑ it was all by design ('cause i'm a mastermind) by tempolarriefics / @tempolarriefix (E, 22k, enemies to lovers, mastermind au, co-workers) “You can’t be serious. You think I would be so awful to work for - you would rather quit?”“Don’t be all high and mighty about it,” Harry scoffs. “Surely you would do the same.”“I’m not being high and mighty. It’s called being professional.”“Really?” Harry pushes. “You’d work diligently under me with no complaints? You’d do whatever I asked of you?”“That would be my job, so yeah.” Harry shakes his head. “I’d work you so fucking hard,” he says slowly, “that you’d have to quit.”

໑ splash me across the silver screen by pleasinglouis / @pleasing-louis (E, 22.8k, established relationship, 70s au, actor louis, cinematographer harry) Louis is a struggling actor who gets nervous when he's being filmed and Harry comes up with a plan to help him relax when the cameras are rolling.

໑ 🔒 Scorpions et mandragores by Stria (Asia117) / @nooradeservedbetter (E, 23k, dark fic, vampire harry, human louis, read tags and author’s notes) Vampires were rich gents, well-versed in the unspoken rules of polite society, knowledgeable about an infinity of topics, ready to lend a hand in historiography debates. Vampires were charming, fashionable, mysterious. Vampires drank synth or donated blood, played nice with humans, didn’t bite anymore. Vampires were nice, non-threatening.

What a load of bullshit.

໑ The Bluest war and peace by @hazzaslittle28 (E, 27.1k, a/b/o au, enemies to lovers, betrayal) For centuries the Black Haven pack had a tradition where the first born omegas and alphas were to be introduced to each other. The pups were barely ten, dressed in their finest clothings and made to look presentable. That's when he first saw his ruins and he knew that he was never going to be the same.

໑ I found an angel so divine by april_iris / @april_kmm (E, 31k, strangers to lovers, eternals au, superpowers) Eros/Harry is a dreamboat with singular powers who loves love more than anything and longs to feel it one day, and Louis is the kind human who shows him the way.

໑ Deleted Scenes by Stria (Asia117) / @nooradeservedbetter (E, 33k, strangers, mystery, amnesia, italy, minor violence) Agent Harry Styles was injured on the job a few months back, and gets roped in one last mission before he can retire prematurely: playing house with Louis, a widower who has amnesia. The assignment seems simple at the beginning, but soon enough Harry's twisted in a web of his own making, and can't get out anymore.

໑ Tainted Love by Darling28 / @darling-28 (M, 39k, exes to lovers, famous/famous, miscommunication) Broken awards, cut-up blouses, childish pranks and lots of nastiness? This is apparently all that remains of Louis and Harry after a sudden break-up and they walk a fine line between love, revenge and jealousy.

Will the two find their way back to each other or are they both too hurt?

໑ all the small things you do (remind me why i fell for you) by Ashisinlove / @ashisinlove28 (NR, 53.7k, strangers to lovers, a/b/o au, pack dynamics, arranged married) Prompt 68: Pack alpha Harry only wants to marry for matrimonial benefits but no other omega wishes to marry him for his reputation of being a big scary wolf who snarls at everyone for even breathing the wrong way. Omega Louis, to improve his pack’s condition, decides to be Harry’s pack Luna but is taken aback by how soft and sweet Harry actually is with him. AU where Harry is intimidating pack alpha but is very sweet and lovely with his soon-to-be mate and would do anything for his pack Luna, even make fool of himself in front of everyone just to see his giggle.

໑ Love Me If You Dare by BoosBabycakes / @boosbabycakes28 (E, 54.7k, childhood friends, growing up together, games) Harry and Louis’ friendship starts with a game, after a simple dare. The two little boys quickly become the best of friends and referees of their own game. Unfortunately, as they grow up, they sometimes become the victims of it too.With them, everything is possible. They are capable of daring each other to do anything. But will they dare confess their feelings for each other?

໑ Sink Into Your Sunlight by @starryhazelou (E, 79.6k, strangers to lovers, college au, hurt/comfort, time skips, exes to lovers) Louis hadn’t forgotten about Harry as much as he tried. It wasn’t due to the strange nature of their meeting, more so the magnetic pull he somehow had on Louis. He couldn’t fathom why this complete stranger stayed in his mind as much as he tried to stop it. Any time his phone sounded his heart skipped a beat at the thought of it possibly being Harry. In all honesty, it made him feel sort of pathetic.

Gay guy falls for straight guy, what a cliche he had become.

— rare pairs —

໑ The Cyber Sphere by jacaranda_bloom / @jacaranda-bloom (louis/dermot o’leary, E, 17.5k, strangers to lovers, rich louis, writer louis, radio host dermot, artificial intelligence) As the author of The Cyber Sphere, a series of best-selling books which have spawned seemingly limitless spin-offs, Louis Tomlinson hides away from the world in his fortress-like London penthouse. But when he decides to interact with the host of The Cyber Times radio program, Dermot O’Leary, on Twitter, it causes a fandom meltdown and offers him hope for a future he’d never imagined.

OR the one where Liam likes to think he’s Batman, Dermot has terrible taste in sporting teams, and Louis should really get a cat.

1) Seven, Seven | Not Rated | 1,877 words

“Hello, baby girl,” Harry says as soon as the nurse places the bundle of joy into his arms. “We’ve been dying to meet you.”

4) Purr And Shout | Not Rated | 5,274 words

The sound that escapes Harry's mouth couldn't possibly be a purr. He's an alpha, alphas don't purr. Or do they?

5) Take Me To The Stars | Explicit | 5,840 words

Staring at his darling daughter, in the middle of the pasta aisle, Louis found himself on the edge of a neurotic breakdown.

"It’s your birthday tomorrow! And your papa better not do anything to muck it up! Because your dada worked very hard to organise it! And all of your aunties and grannies and granddads and friends will be there!” Louis continued in a sweet sing-song voice that seemed to get increasingly frantic as he continued. “And if your papa is in rut, then what? What’ll we do, honey girl? Your dada will be too busy! And your papa will be too horn-”

“Louis,” Harry interrupted, touching Louis’ arm. “I’ll be okay. It’s probably not even my rut. I can appreciate you… all of you… even when I’m not in rut.”

Louis looked at him skeptically, imagining the shitshow that would be Harry in rut, surrounded by family and friends, at their child’s first birthday party. “I hope you’re right, H.”

6) Young And Sweet | Explicit | 5,894 words

Louis sees his ex at the carnival and thinks that he must be the solution to his problem.

7) Glistening Under The Sun (You're My Honey Soaked Love) | Mature | 8,996 words | Sequel

8) I Will Cover My Eyes (For If The Dark Returns) | Not Rated | 9,582 words

Alpha Harry asks omega Louis out and things progress from there.

9) When Tomorrow Comes | Explicit | 11,111 words

10) Butterflies, The Beautiful Kind | Explicit | 18,401 words

Prompt 36: Louis is a single parent with a child who is terrified of doctors. However, one day, the kid gets sick. Thankfully the new pediatrician, doctor Styles, has wild curly hair and green eyes and a soothing deep voice that the kid immediately grows attached to.

11) Tiger Lily | Mature | 20,155 words

I worked next door and when he walked in, my whole world turned on it's head.

12) This Love Is Ours | Mature | 21028 words

“I told you to call me Harry.” Harry looks amused. It’s not funny. Louis throwing up because of him isn’t funny.

“But I’ve been calling you Mr. Styles for so long.”

“And now you’re carrying my baby.”

13) Swept Me Off My Feet (Took My Heart And Took Me Down) | Explicit | 25,447 words

When Louis had decided to reopen his mother’s bakery, he never thought a charming alpha would walk in through the door, let alone fall in love with him over tea, dessert and music.

14) Raise a Glass to the Four of Us | Mature | 25,470 words

Louis stared at his luggage.

Well. Apparently not his luggage, because the clothing he was looking at currently was a: worth more than everything he currently possessed, b: not his size at all, and c: more suited for a fancy ass lawyer than a holiday in NYC with his best mates.

“Ooh, nice loafers,” Niall said as he pulled one out of the suitcase. “I love the rainbows.”

“Okay,” Liam began. “What do you want to do first? Eat, shop for new clothes, or spend hours on the phone with the airline?”

Louis continued to stare at the luggage.

15) Yours To Lose | Mature | 25,472 words

“I think I know the person that matches your descriptions of your dream alpha.”

“Who? And oh not my dream alpha, god you’re making me sound like a teenage school girl. I’m a mum, H.” They laugh as they watch kids gather in front of the verandah, getting ready to go back to the orphanage.

“Well, you’re gonna have to find out.” Harry winks before standing up to start cleaning their spot.

16) Feeling Peachy, Take A Bite | Explicit | 25,654 words

Prompt 570: Omega Louis works at a cupcake shop. He makes the prettiest cupcakes and loves his job. In comes beefy alpha Harry who absolutely loves to eat Louis’ cake. Inspired by Louis being a cute baby girl handing out cupcakes. (no a/b/o necessary, but Louis has to be feminine).

17) Confections Of The Heart | Explicit | 25,877 words

Louis is a single mom, Harry is a pastry chef, and Oliver just wants his mom to be happy. With a teaspoon of love and a sprinkle of fate, the three might just find a home in each other.

18) I Know How To Whisk (But Teach Me Anyway) | Mature | 32,113 words

Louis scrunched his eyebrows in confusion. “I don’t understand. Unmated alphas don’t just go into a rut out of nowhere. Unless…”

Louis grabbed onto Niall’s arm in desperation. “Am I a homewrecker? Does Harry have a mate? Oh my God, was he not flirting? Did the change in his scent not have anything to do with my smell yesterday? Did I just make that up!?”

Louis let go of Niall and dropped his face in his hands. “I knew it was too good to be true.”

“You’re an idiot,” Niall stated. Louis looked up to find Niall rolling his eyes. He snapped his laptop closed and moved to stand up. “I need to get some work done. Why don’t you stay here and think back to ABO dynamics 101.”

With that Niall hopped off the couch and headed to his room. He stopped and turned to Louis before he made it to the hall and said, “Oh, and Lou. You may want to reconsider your outlook on soulmates.”

Louis yelled after him. “Soulmates aren’t a thing, Niall!”

19) Let Me Feel Your Heartbeat | Explicit | 34,572 words

Harry is 98% sure Louis hates him. So he feels like his bewilderment is justified when the omega offers to help him through his rut.

20) I Found A Love For Me (Darling Just Dive Right In) | Explicit | 46,652 words | Sequel

Louis, an omega with very little control. Harry, an alpha with a lot of emotion. Neither of them have any idea what do to with this little thing called love, but they’ll be damned if they don’t put up a good fight.

21) Gallery Of Us | Explicit | 55,782 words

Harry knew what he was doing in life, everything laid out in black-and-white, each day pleasantly predictable. Cue lively art student, Louis, trying to find his place. An almost insufferably happy person who sometimes forgets to hide the way they feel meets the person who is diligent enough to notice and determined to make a difference.

22) Love Me Until The End | Mature | 207,053 words

“Dr. Styles there’s an emergency at the maternity ward. The head nurse called for you, he needs you there as soon as possible.” The trainee tells Harry over the phone, catching his attention. Louis Tomlinson, the Louis Tomlinson is calling him? He lowers his clipboard and nods his head, getting up from his chair.

“Tell Mr. Tomlinson I’ll be there right away.”

So I’m a little late to the party but I just read In the Dark in like 24 hours. Maybe you’ve shared more previously, but I’d love to know more about Ezra & Birdie’s future. Ezra implied that they could really be together if she had stayed, and being that she couldn’t find it in herself to want anyone else in London, I really hope that they end up together when her program is over. Him coming to visit for two weeks is huge, but I’m clinging to little details — is it just as best friends? Best friends who sleep together? Now that Cee has her own place, assuming Birdie comes “home” to NYC, it would be easier for them to give it a real try. It seems if their feelings remain intact for a year apart (or 8 months) that it’s pretty real.

Anyway if there’s anything more you can share about where YOU think things land I’d love to know. I’m gonna lose sleep, lol. Thank you for such a gripping and touching story ❤️❤️

Hello hello! ❤

First of all, I can't believe you read it that fast! What an honor 🥺

Second of all, I have an essay on this! Buckle up buttercup, you're about to get a million things you never asked for lol

I sort of hinted at it in the epilogue chapter, but what I envision them being is sort of like best friends who sleep together. They are together when they are together, but there is no expectation that they would put their lives on hold for the other when they aren't - if that makes sense?

The connection they have is so intimate and real, but they are also at vastly different places in their lives. THIS concept is actually what I love most about writing age gap stories, because I feel like the trope usually gets twisted (or is assumed twisted by the reader before they even give the story a chance) into the older person taking advantage of the younger person. In this instance (and in everything else I write), it's really the younger person who has all the power. Old enough to consent and know their own mind, they have their own agency and seek out the older person for their life experience. Birdie was attracted to Ezra for a lot of reasons, but one of those was his competence and confidence, while she herself felt completely lost in a huge city. He made her feel like she was the only one in the world, in a city of millions. It's very soothing, with so much care involved on Ezra's part.

Before this turns into an essay on age gap lol (because I could seriously ramble for hours) here is a slice of the text from Chapter 11 on how this sort of dynamic would end up (I think) playing out irl:

and

Would Ezra wait? Yes.

Is that a fair thing to ask of either of them? No.

Not when Birdie is so young and has this whole life to explore, not when he knows she's about to be thrown into all sorts of different situations and meet so many other people, and not on his end either: sitting lonely and alone, while he tries to give her the space she needs to find her own way.

In the last chapter, he did say that they could continue seeing each other if she were to stay in the city, because of course they would. They have this undeniable connection, this chemistry, this love for each other - but on the other hand, they have been living in a very limited bubble. Just being together almost tore his relationship with Cee apart - what are the very real logistics of them spending holidays together? Of Birdie (maybe) one day moving in? Of merging their friend groups, when the people involved are vastly different ages with different interests?

Should Birdie come back to NYC, I can see her getting together with him again as a means to get her grounding, or as a source of comfort and familiarity. I can see Ezra as acting as sort of a guide in that: almost...parental? Like he did with Cee? Cheering her on, giving her a place to stay, welcoming her back into his arms because he has missed her so fucking badly.

Do they end up together in the end? I am undecided. I think their lives converge and split and converge and split and there is never any love or chemistry lost, but I just envision this sort of bittersweet relationship where they met each other at exactly the right time and they enjoyed it for what it was.

Something I thought a lot about (and I still do) is that everyone always wants a "happy ending" answer - and I hate to crush that for people because who knows! They could! She could come back and move in and Cee could come to terms with it and they could be this cute, amazing couple who never gets married (because I am firm on the idea they don't need/want that) but that spend their lives together.

HOWEVER, to me: Birdie gaining confidence through Ezra's emotional support IS a happy ending.

Cee finally moving out and gaining independence IS a happy ending.

Ezra learning that he can put himself first for once without sacrificing everything with Cee IS a a happy ending.

The HOPE held in the possibilities of what Ezra and Birdie's relationship could be IS a happy ending.

The HOPE held in the potential of what this means for all of them moving forward as individuals IS a happy ending.

Meeting someone who changed your life for the better, even if you have to eventually let them go, IS a happy ending.

The fact that you binged this story and you think about them and you are losing sleep means -- more than I can say. I am so incredibly thankful for you and appreciate you more than you know. ❤ Thank you thank you thank you for this ask, and if you want to discuss further, message me! I would be delighted ❤

I was looking through old jewelry stuff and found a necklace Karlie wore for about 6 months, from about Sept 2019-April 2020. It was a gold disk that was engraved with “I can and I will” on it. As our resident jewelry expert, any theories on what that may have been about?

hello hello

thank you for your inquiry 😌

so this necklace is something that i assume was bought along with two other pieces from the same brand because they appeared around the same time and she wore them often interchangeably, and frequently together. the necklace is by Zoe Chicco.

in addition to this disc with the mantra “I Can and I Will” inscribed on it, the necklaces i associate it with are a strand of graduated gold disks and a ‘sunbeam medallion’ which she actually wore a ton on its own.

the mantra necklace was most frequently worn within the set of these three and at the time it felt very much like just, idk, a trendy layered look, and she wore them so often that honestly i did not keep track of the necklaces well. so i had to do a little bit of poking around.

so, for your perusal, here is an incomplete list of times she has worn at least one of the three pieces, based on an account that was documenting her looks at the time (link) and StarStyle (link):

she starts out wearing either the graduates discs or the sunbeam necklace, from september 2019

9/5/2019 in china for the world cup

9/8/2019 to the US open

9/18/2019 papped outside in nyc

9/21/2019 papped in rome (scooter was around)

10/10/2019 on her instagram outside in nyc

10/21/2019 papped outside in nyc

10/30/2019 papped outside in nyc

then the mantra necklace appeared and there was a period where she started wearing the three as a layered look more often, sometimes two together, and sometimes just the mantra necklace:

11/1/2019 promoing adidas on her insta

11/15/2019 papped outside in nyc

11/26/2019 at the elk in nyc

12/8/2019 papped outside in nyc

12/21/2019 yachting in st. barthelemy

1/27/2020 when karlie was in LA

2/18/2020 amex valentine’s day dinner

4/23/2020 instagram live w katie couric

4/28/2020 the today show

4/30/2020 met gala bts video

5/1/2020 exercising on instagram

5/1/2020 on wes gordon’s instagram

5/5/2020 the tonight show

5/17/2020 instagram from her nyc place

5/19/2020 klossy video about how falling on the runway can help your career

from this point forward she started wearing the necklaces separately instead of all three at once (not the mantra medallion though as far as i could tell) from mid 2020 up through mid 2021. for the sake of brevity i won’t list everything up, but you can check StarStyle from the above link.

~~~

as for what the mantra means, you know, this is just a loosely formed thing but… i will offer a quick thought

in retrospect, she wore the necklace along with the other two during a very specific time period, right? a little after taylor’s masters were bought by scooter, all the way up until she headed for LA a few months into quarantine. so if you think about late 2019-early 2020 as being this time where everyone thought karlie further betrayed taylor and where karlie went to places or events where scooter was and such… and how following this period of time scooter’s infidelity was eventually exposed and he divorced and a lot of his business dealings soured, and we got songs like mad woman, vigilante shit, and karma —songs that i do believe show that karlie stuck around scooter and got dirt on him for taylor— then, within that context, i think that the mantra “i can and i will” is pretty… badass 🙈 like, if the amulette de cartier was for dark seasons of life that require courage, this mantra feels much more something suitable for… playing offense 😏

Chapter 15

November 1977

Elvis was back on the road performing his latest tour. This tour was thirty days spent out through six weeks so he could spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with his family. Elvis didn’t want this tour to be just a greatest hits tour. He wanted to give each audience something different and exciting to look forward to. He did the classics like “Love Me Tender,” “Jailhouse Rock,” and “Hound Dog.” He performed his own renditions of his favorite songs like Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You.”

You and the kids weren’t able to be a part of the tour in early November due to school schedules and other various activities, but Elvis was adamant on having you and his family with him during the December leg of his tour. Every single night before and after his shows, Elvis would call you to make sure all five of his babies were alright. He talked to Mallory, Elvis Jr, and John separately for ten minutes each before the show because he knew they would be asleep by the second call. That second call was all for you and baby Kennedy. He would ask you about the most mundane things like the weather, but you loved that about him.

November 23, 1977

Before long Elvis was home from the November leg of his tour. He came straight home from his NYC show in order to get home quicker. When he walked into the house, he wasn’t surprised that all the Christmas decorations were already up. He knew you loved Christmas just as much as he did, so he was ok with you decorating early. It was nearly 1AM so he didn’t expect anyone to be up when he quietly walked up the stair to the master bedroom. He didn’t see you in bed, so he went to the nursery to see if you were there. Just as he suspected, you were in the rocking chair holding Kennedy, oblivious to the fact that your husband was in the doorway. It wasn’t until you looked up for a quick moment that you saw him. It nearly startled you seeing him in the doorway.

“I thought you were never gonna notice me, Satnin.” Elvis started walking into the nursery to get closer to you.

“What are you doing home so early? You told me that you weren’t gonna be home until Wednesday night.”

Elvis was in front of you knelt down so he could be eye level worth you. “(Y/N), technically it is Wednesday. And besides, I couldn’t wait any longer to see my babies.”

You gently kissed him right on the lips. The taste of cigars and Coca-Cola still lingered. “Well, you ain’t gonna hear me complain. Welcome home baby.” Just in that moment, Kennedy’s eyes shot wide open, like she knew her daddy was home. “I don’t think I’m the only one who missed you Elvis.” You gently placed Kennedy in his arms. His heart melted every single time he saw you or his babies.

“Well hello there little Kennedy. How’s my little princess? You’ve gotten so big since the last I saw you baby girl.”

You softly giggled to yourself. “Elvis, she hasn’t grown that much in two and half weeks.”

“Satnin I’m telling you now, she’s grown at at an inch or two. At least she’s finally got some hair bless her heart.” He was right on that. Her hair was just starting to grow and of course, it was dark just like it was with her older siblings.

“Okay, you’re right Mr. Presley. Now can you please let her sleep?”

“Alright princess your mama said it’s bedtime. I’ll see ya first thing when the sun rises. Daddy loves you Kennedy.” Elvis gently kissed Kennedy’s head and then put her into the crib. “Come on (Y/N), it’s your bedtime too.” He gently picked you up and carried you into the bedroom. You could hear his heart beating while he carried you. Elvis carefully laid you down on your side of the king size bed and tucked you in. He was careful not to turn on any lights while he changed into his pajamas. When he finally got into bed, he saw that you were almost asleep so he wrapped his arms around your waist in order to pull you closer to him.

“Good night Satnin. Sweet dreams my baby doll.” He kissed the top of your head several times and then both of you feel asleep.

November 30, 1977

Elvis was so excited about today because his whole family was coming with him on tour. The whole Presley household was excited. For first time ever, all four kids were going on tour with you and Elvis. It wasn’t going to be easy, but it was sure gonna be worth it in the end. Elvis helped get everyone loaded on the private jet plane, Hound Dog II. The plane was custom made for your family with plenty of space.

By the time everyone was loaded on the plane, you were worn out. You tried your best to hide the exhaustion, but Elvis could see it. He got the kids settled down and ready for take off and then, he tended to you. As soon as the plane took off in the air, Elvis walked back to the queen sized bed that was custom made for you and him to find you curled up in a ball, almost halfway asleep. He got on the bed which made you jump almost clean out of your skin.

“Shit Elvis, you nearly gave me a heart attack.”

“I didn’t mean to scare ya baby. Come here and let me take care of you Satnin.” He carefully pulled you into his lap and held you close to his chest. He started gently kissing your face and rubbing your head until you fell asleep. He kept saying sweet nothings into your ears while you sleeping. “I love you so much (Y/N). You’re always gonna be my queen. Sweet dreams Satnin. Elvis held you the entire plane ride so you could get some much deserved sleep.

In two hours time, you were almost to Chicago. Elvis started peppering your face with kisses to wake you up because knew you didn’t like to be startled when you were asleep. You slowly start to wake up and smile at the thought of still being in your husband’s arms. Elvis brushed your (Y/HC) hair away from your face so you see the Chicago skyline. You were in complete awe of the view.

After the plane landed, you and Elvis got the kids unloaded into the limousine and headed to the hotel for the night. Elvis softly tucked you and the kids into bed before getting himself into bed. This was the life he had always dreamed of. Sure, it was great being the King of Rock n Roll, but his whole world revolved around you and his babies. Elvis thanked God and his lucky stars every night that you had come into his life when you did, changing it for the better.

December 1, 1977

The day was already going a hundred miles a hour by the time the six of you left the hotel. He was already in his jumpsuit that you picked for him to wear that night, the blue swirl. You loved the way that jumpsuit brought out his blue eyes, even through the blue tinted sunglasses that he was wearing. Elvis loved it when his little family matched it so you did it every single chance you could. You and Mallory are matching in white bell bottom pants and blue blouses while baby Kennedy was in a baby blue long sleeve dress. Elvis Jr and John are in navy blue button up shirts and black slacks.

When you got to Chicago Stadium, you all were escorted by security and the Memphis Mafia to Elvis’ dressing room. Elvis was pacing around the room out of nerves. He had been doing this for twenty plus years and still questioned himself. What if he forgot the words? What if they didn’t like him?

“Babe, you’re gonna make track marks in the floor if you keep pacing around like that.”

“Satnin, I’m nervous as hell and you know that.”

“Now hun, you are not just any performer. You are Elvis fucking Presley. Every single time you go on that stage, lightning strikes. More importantly, you’re my husband Elvis. The father of my children. I love you so much baby. Now go out there and sing your heart baby. The kids and I will be out there watching you.”

“Alright (Y/N), I’ll be looking for my babies. Don’t get mad at me if I decide to surprise you night baby.”

“I expect nothing less from you Mr. Presley. I love you baby”

“I love you too Satnin.” Elvis took your face in his hands and kissed you right on the mouth. By the time he got done kissing you, your nude pink lipstick was all over his lips. He chuckled as he saw the lipstick on his lips. You and the kids were led out to the front row. The nervous energy of the crows was exciting for you.

The 2001 Space Odyssey started to play. Moments later, Elvis came out calm, cool, and collected. The crowd was electric and screaming for him. His performance was amazing like usual. About half way through the show, Jerry came out to get you and the kids. You were puzzled on why he was coming to get you because it was too soon. He didn’t say a word when he escorted to you and the kids to stage area. Elvis introduced the band and orchestra like he always did. After two more songs, he took a breather before he spoke to the crowd again.

“Ladies and gentleman, I’ve introduced you to my band, but there’s a few more people I wanna bring out. Daddy, come up here.” Vernon slowly came up the stairs and met Elvis. “This is my dad, Vernon.” The crowd applauded for him. After Vernon left the stage, Elvis began to speak again. “Now I wanna introduce you to the love of my life, (Y/N) Presley. Come on out here baby!” You were hesitant to come out, so he went over to you and took you by the hand so he could lead you out himself. “Now I don’t know why she’s actin’ all bashful, there’s no need for it she’s so beautiful. This woman right here has put with me for at least fifteen years, being married to me for eleven of those years.” You couldn’t hide the fact that you were blushing and Elvis chuckled to himself.

“I love you baby.” You tried to walk off the stage, but Elvis gently grabbed your hand. “Sorry baby, but you’re staying up here doll. Now I’d also like to introduce our beautiful children. Mallory! Elvis Jr! John! Come on out!” Your three older children came running to you and Elvis. The twinkle in their eyes was something to behold. They hugged both of you like they haven’t seen either one of you in a week even though they just saw you. Elvis looked at you and mouthed go get Kennedy to you. “Now ladies and gentlemen, as you all know we just welcomed another baby in August. Little miss Kennedy came a little early, but I’m happy to say that she’s alright. My wife’s getting her now.” You saw the tears in his eyes as he saw you holding baby Kennedy in your arms. “Here for her very first concert, Kennedy Grace Presley.”

While the whole audience was applauding, Elvis took the moment to softly coo to his littlest baby. “How’s my little baby girl right now? Are you being good for mama? Come here baby, daddy wants to show you off little darlin.” You handed Kennedy to your husband and then he proceeded to show her off. “Isn’t she beautiful people. She gets it all from her pretty little mama.” You chuckled and nudged him. You knew for a fact that Elvis was the most beautiful man alive and here he was calling you beautiful. He took any chance he could to embarrass you or show your whole family off.

“Thank you very much honey. Now kids go back with Uncle Jerry, I got one more surprise for your mama.” Jerry came out to get Kennedy and to lead the older children off the stage. You glared at your husband wondering what he had in store. “Come here (Y/N), there’s one more thing I have in store you baby.” You walked to him and he wrapped his left arm around you. You tell this man was forever in love with you. “This next song is for this beautiful woman right here. My wife, the mother of my children. My world. My rock. I’m ready whenever the band is.” The music began playing and you recognized the song immediately: How the Web was Woven. He knew you loved that song so much that he decided to surprise you with it. The tears began flowing from your eyes as he was singing to you. When the song ended, Elvis hugged you tight and whispered in your ear “I love you so much (Y/N) (Y/M/N) Presley. Don’t you ever forget it Satnin.” He gracefully walked you to the stairs and kissed you one more time. When we saw you had made it down the stairs, Elvis continued on with the show. When it came time for “Can’t Help Falling in Love” you and the kids were escorted out to the limo to wait for Elvis. Minutes later, Elvis came into the car with you and the babies. He loved on you and the kids.

“You did amazing tonight baby. I love you Elvis Aaron Presley.”

“I love you too Satnin. Now let’s get to the Hound Dog II and go to Indianapolis baby. I know you’ve always wanted to see Christmas lights in every state, including Hawaii so cross Indiana off the list.” This man knew you like the back of his hand. His main goal in life was making you happy and he was willing to do anything to do that.

hello squish mon beloved for the character ask game how about..... william moriarty :]

TEEEEM THANK YOU HUGS YOU

ask game here

My first impression: okay so I'll come clean- I originally watched mtp back in 2022 and my memory of my initial reactions aren't the clearest, so I'm going off the messages I sent a friend while watching it and piecing it together from there. anyway my first impression was a little confused but with a little "alright, I can get behind this!"; this was my first actual interaction with a sherlock holmes work/adaptation since I read part of The Hounds of Baskerville in like. middle school. so I really didn't have anything I was going in with other than the very vague notion that it was "based of sherlock holmes". I took a very quick liking to him and his brothers tho :)

My impression now: SWEET FUCKING SUMMER CHILD. DEAR FUCKING GOD! I'm sobbing crying throwing up- I love him so much he has so much depth to him he forces himself to be the necessary evil and plays the part so well you think he loves it but it's literally killing him inside ACK ACK ACK he's the type of guy who'd go "I couldn't care less" but actually cares so much he wants to throw up; I started a bit confused but now I understand him so much, he's a brilliant character!

Favorite thing about that character: I think it might be his determination. Like from the very beginning he's so determined to make the world a better place no matter the dark paths he takes to get there and it's like. fucking unbreakable. dude had a plan and he stuck with it and saw an end to it (even though the end was very different from what he imagined). Even when he's trying to get back on his feet towards the current end of the manga, the moment his hands fall upon a new purpose he grips it like a vice and he's off to chase it (quite literally actually. on a horse). It's either his determination or his kindness, bc the moments where he lets his little villain persona slip and reveals a soft and beating heart makes me feel violently ill in a good way

Least favorite thing: the way he saw his own life with such little respect up until the nyc arc makes my heart shatter. his plan always resulted in the very least his own end, and if a certain someone hadn't been so desperate on saving him he risked his own life I know for a FACT William would have died and AUGH it HURTS but IT MAKES SENSE YOU COMPLEX, COMPLEX MAN

Favorite line/scene: There are so many and I have to choose JUST ONE? VETOING THIS (it counts I'm american <- joking); I'll give a list actually: the bridge scene for obvious reasons; the entire nyc arc (THE NYC ARC [I'm banging my fist on the fucking TABLE and SOBBING] AAAAA) but specifically the scenes where he arrives for backup for Sherlock and Billy and the "wedding vows" scene make me especially emotional; the Baskerville arc where he takes it personally and utterly destroys the guys behind the scheme- I could continue but this is long enough

Favorite interaction that character has with another: every single panel in the manga and every single frame William shares with Sherlock Holmes is priceless I want to gnaw on steel when they interact—detective vs. lord of crime, companions beneath their masks—it doesn't matter how they're interacting I am going insane. THE CHEMISTRY is like watching a beautiful reaction between two chemicals except it's infinite; if the next arc of the manga was just the two of them interacting in a day-to-day progress I would eat it up and leave no fucking crumbs

A character that I wish that character would interact with more: Honestly, I wish we had more interactions between Billy and William! iirc Billy looks up to William and I would have loved to see the two of them bond, especially after he starts working with him and Sherlock (oh well, I'll just read and write fanfics ig)

Another character from another fandom that reminds me of that character: uhhhhhhhh. I don't really.. I got nothing. I'm so sorry but my brain cannot generate another character from a different fandom that reminds me of William LSKDHG

A headcanon about that character: here's a silly one- he gets acid reflux easily (rip); and here's a serious one- he has nightmares about his lord of crime days long after the fall, about all the blood he's spilled and all the lives he's taken. he handles it better and better with time, but it's never a good time when he has them

A song that reminds of that character: I'm not sure WHY, but "Errasuriz" by Kiltro makes me think of William; also "Before We Drift Away" by Nothing But Thieves (squish stop assigning NBT songs to your favorite characters challenge impossible)

An unpopular opinion about that character: I don't think I know the mtp fandom well enough to know what's considered popular/unpopular, and I think it's a bit too small rn for there to be a common consensus? but uhm. I don't fucking know LMAO uhm. I think he'd look better with a purple motif rather than red??????

Favorite picture: okay okay this is gonna be a two-parter but they're from the same chapter and only like. two-three panels apart but these

I AM GOING. TO HAVE A BREAKDOWN OVER THESE. THE LIIIIIIGHT THE SMILE THE EVERYTHING I'M GOING TO FROW UP AND EXPLODE ACTUALLY

anyways ty tem :D I bet you were not prepared for my unintentional essays after each question LDSGKH

#ask game #yuukuko no moriarty #yuumori #moriarty the patriot #william moriarty #mtp william

the way you talk about eric is so so sweet!!! what are your favourite songs of his, with 10cc or solo or with someone else? (besides mandy of course, which really is such a good song- i just love the tempo changes and how complex it is) and are there any songs that you think could help to get to know him as a person?

also, i suppose i should've asked it earlier lmao- how did you discover 10cc at all? is it how you learned about eric too, or did you know him before getting familiar with the band?

do you write poems and songs too? and do you play any instruments then? i admire poets and songwriters and musicians enormously because it's such a dark forest to me, prose is really just as far as i can go and i simply cannot imagine how they make all this magic work :')

move from nyc to california sounds so so cool!! could you tell some of the things you like the most about these places? i've always dreamed of visiting them, new york especially!

james baldwin is such an amazing writer- i'd recommend checking out my absolute favourite another country and the classic giovanni's room!

i have done some holiday shopping but there's still a lot of decorating to do, i haven't even put up a christmas tree :') decorating is a bit limited this year because of my cat whose hobby is to chew and destroy everything he manages to find. do you put up yours and if you do, do you prefer real of fake ones?

hello santa! it’s nice to hear from you again :)

one thing to note about me is that i have never talked about a musician/famous person the way i talk about Eric Stewart. i have never even talked about John Lennon in the same way i talk about Eric, and that’s saying a lot because i have known/loved The Beatles (and John) longer than i have 10cc.

you know it’s funny, it’s always hard to pick a favourite song(s) by Eric regardless of whether it’s his solo stuff or with the group but my top faves right now by solo Eric are Viva La Difference, Yvonne’s The One, This Must Be Heaven and Heaven Knows. My faves from when he was with the group would have to be I’m Not in Love (of course), Rock N Roll Lullaby, Wall Street Shuffle, Baron Samedi, The Film of My Love, Things We Do For Love, Power of Love, Good Morning Judge, Lying With You, Oomachasooma (Feel the Love), the list goes on…but those are my top faves. I think all these songs I’ve mentioned are the best way to get to know Eric (and in a way, the rest of the group) as an artist.

so like i mentioned before, i discovered Eric and the rest of the 10cc guys about a year ago after stumbling upon their music video for “I’m Not in Love.” Eric’s voice and beauty in that music video was probably what really drew me to him and the band. funny thing, i have shared the story on here time and time again about how i was pretty much cursed by that music video until the day i decided to give them a listen. so one day, sometime in early August 2022, i finally gave their Deceptive Bends album my full attention and from that day forth, i was hooked. it was like discovering The Beatles for the first time all over again. to be quite honest, i fell off the classic rock bandwagon until i discovered 10cc. since then, my life has changed for the better and i wouldn’t want it any other way.

so i play lead guitar and bass, though lately i haven’t been playing bass since i recently had to sell the last one i had but i plan on getting another one that’s smaller to better fit me since i’m just a little thing lmao. and i agree with you about writers. brilliant people, the are. my mum always says that all writers and poets are drug addicts and alcoholics but i beg to differ, i think they are wonderful people that do well at giving life a new meaning through their work.

New York! so i lived in upstate New York for about 10 years, but i have been to the city numerous times and i can tell you it’s great and everything, but for me personally i can only handle it for about a day or two and then i get sick of it. Like any major city, NYC gets a bit too chaotic (and it’s also smelly), would not recommend it for the faint of heart.

California on the other hand, and perhaps this is only because I’ve just recently moved here, is simply mesmerizing. The people seem welcoming here and i just love that whole laid back attitude that Californians have. I’ve been commuting between LA and San Francisco for work, but so far i can tell you I can’t really pick a favourite between the two cities. They both are great in their own little way. LA gives me the beaches and the hot weather, while San Francisco gives me the version of NYC that’s on a smaller scale and so much more tolerable lmao.

thanks for the rec— i’ll to check out some of Baldwin’s work, including the piece you’ve mentioned :)

like i’ve mentioned, i’ve been slacking on my christmas decorating but i’m hoping to get a head start on it next week, when my schedule isn’t so hectic.

thanks for the chat, and i look forward to speaking with you again soon. have a nice weekend :)

so i sorta watched the 4 hour sergio leone extended directors cut of ‘once upon a time in america’ but i couldnt watch it all. it was not really good. i mean there were some beautiful shots, but oh boy was this a fucked up story and not in a good way. Also it was trying too hard. like it so wanted to be an epic, but it was just dumb in a lot of scenes. it starts off with the 4 guys as street kids in nyc in the 20s or 30s or whatever before they became the jewish mafia or whatever. that was for a good hour and a half almost 2 hours, and it was a fairly straight forward story, but then they would have these time jumps to when deniro was a really old man, or to when he was just an kinda older man, and the only thing that would give it away to me, was how dark or grey his hair was. and the edits were so abrupt that they were jarring and didnt make sense to me. parts of the story was also confusing, but again i missed the first 20 minutes and stopped almost an hour before it ended. only dipping in a couple times that last hour. so i watched a good almost 2 1/2 - 3 hours of this shit for some reason.

one of the scenes that made me change the channel was apart of the above gif. so these 4 guys were gangsters and in one scene they are wearing the handkerchiefs over their faces while robbing a jeweler? or a bank? or something. and there were like 2 men in the store and 1 woman. so almost immediately the woman was saying weird shit like ‘tie me up’ and ‘hit me’ and just yelling and shit. because of that one of the gangsters says something like shut her up and it then gets really fucked up when deniros character just grabs her and just starts raping her right there. and shes yelling no no no but its played weird, very vague, but almost like she enjoyed it. which was just fuckin disgusting. cut to another scene later on which is where i finally said im done. the scene was maybe weeks or months later, and the 4 guys were in the back room of their brothel or casino or speakeasy when one of the guys was looking out the peephole and points out a woman and immediately recognizes her as that woman deniros character raped. so they ask the madame who she was and to tell her to come into the back room. the madame tells them her name and that shes always there to fuck other men while her husband watches. all of this is played kinda slightly comedic too, which is nauseating. so the madame calls the woman to the back room and points to the 4 gangsters standing there saying that they wanted to say hello. the rape victim doesnt recognize them, so the 4 guys pull out their white handkerchiefs in unison and place them over their faces (above gif). thats when the woman realizes who these men are, and instead of pulling a gun out and shooting them, or just running out screaming, she slinks over to them and says something like, ‘oh i know you boys, but one of you i know more personally, just not sure which’ or something like that, and again unprompted or saying anything to each other, all 4 men, unzip and pull out their dicks. cause they know instinctively the rape victime will recognize the man by his dick??? idek... but its funny right???? right?? ugh. i was literally so fucking disgusted at this. so she checks out all of their dicks and of course she sidles up to deniros character, who was the one who raped her, and said, ‘i recognize you’ grabbing his dick. then she says something gross like she wants to fuck him again and one of the other guys in a threesome, but deniro says he cant or something. that was when i had to change the channel. i needed a shower it was so bad.

Day One

Sweet Pt. 2

I read the address scrawled across my palm one last time. Yeah, this is the place, but it looks more like a luxury hotel than a medical clinic. The outside is solid brownstone with sleek steel and glass accents. As I step through the automatic, frosted glass doors, I see that the inside is all marble and dark wood. An ornate woodwork desk is in the center of a spacious entryway, and a smiling woman in pastel pink scrubs sits behind it.

“Hi!” she chirps. “May I help you?”

“I umm… I have an appointment with Dr. Astrid. I’m Sparrow Winchester.”

“Ahh, Ms. Winchester! Yes, of course! Follow me. You’ll be in Dr. Astrid’s private waiting room until she’s done with her current patient.” She stands from behind the desk and leads me to a set of frosted double doors, where she slides a key card and motions me to go forward. I do so, and she steps right behind me, leading me down the long marble hallway to a spacious, carpeted room with a large couch and several leather chairs.

“Have a seat. Someone will be with you in a moment. May I offer you some sort of refreshment?”

“Oh, no. Thank you.” I’m a bit nervous. This is unlike any medical center that I’ve been to before. Of course, I’ve only ever been to the ER and the health department, well, and my mother’s psychiatric facility, of course. We’ve never had the money for healthcare. But still, I can tell that these people are striving to make their patients feel like they’re at a resort. There’s soft lighting, classical music playing low in the background, and sleek furniture. Underneath the air of wealth and privilege, there’s the underlying, almost cloying smell of antiseptic. It’s really the only clue to what this building functions as. I must be lost in my own thoughts, because when I hear my name being called, I almost jump out of my seat. I jerk my head up to see a middle-aged woman with chestnut hair pulled elegantly away from her face. Her blue eyes seem kind, and she’s smiling at me.

“Sparrow?” she questions again. I nod and stand up rapidly.

“Uh, yeah. That’s me. Sparrow Winchester.” Again, she smiles.

“Sparrow, I’m Dr. Astrid. Follow me, and we’ll see if we can’t get you all sorted.” I follow her down another marble hallway to an open room with a medical table in the corner.

“There’s a gown in that wardrobe over there. I’d like you to remove your clothes and slip it on. I’ll be back in a moment.” With that, she slips from the room, and I glance around nervously. Something tells me that this process is not going to be fun, but I need the money, and with any luck, in a few months, I can leave this all behind and be secure enough to pay my mom’s bills and provide for myself without breaking my neck to do so.

Three hours later, I’m leaving the medical center with a clean bill of health and a new prescription for birth control. I notice a sleek black car parked close to the entrance when I leave, but I don’t pay it much mind. Afterall, it fits in a hell of a lot better here than I do. I’m coming down the stairs leading to the parking lot when I hear “Sparrow!” being shouted. Immediately, my defenses go up. I’ve lived in NYC long enough to know that if you don’t fight, you die. But as I turn, I see that it’s Collin, and I ease up a little. I walk to his car and stand a few feet from him.

“Hi,” I greet lamely with a limp wave.

“Hello, Sweetheart,” he replies with a smile.

“So, uhh…What are you doing here?”

“I’m here to pick you up. We have some shopping to do, remember?”

“The phone. Yeah, I remember.”

“Not just that. I’ve been invited to a New Year’s Eve party, and you’ll need an outfit.”

“A party? I don’t really party. Well, not anymore.”

“It’ll be fun. There will be people your age there.” That’s when it hits me harder than ever. He is older than me. Much older than me. And maybe that’ll be a problem. He seems to have a distaste for people “my age”, if the look on his face is anything to go by. But then why bother making this arrangement with me? I’m sure there are older sugar babies. Sugar women? Either way, I hope that it’s not an issue. If so, it’s going to be a long few months.

I watch as Sparrow searches the racks for something that suits her tastes. She seems lost in her own world, and I can’t help but admire her. She’s wearing jeans that are frayed at the bottom and an old Led Zeppelin t-shirt. Her pants hang low on her hips, and her shirt slips down one shoulder a bit. Looking around at the other women in the store, I realize how out of place poor Sparrow must feel. With their highlighted and stacked hair; designer bags; and fake, bleached smiles, they look at Sparrow in disgust. Like they are somehow better than her. I feel the anger boils lightly in my veins. No one is better than my Sparrow, least of all these pathetic housewives.

“Uhh, Collin…” Sparrow says, waving her hand at me, obviously having done this a few times before I noticed.

“Yes, Sweetheart?” I reply, ignoring the other women as I stride over to Sparrow.

“I think I found some options. I was gonna go try them on, and well, I… I didn’t know if you wanted to come or not.” I smile. She really is a sweet girl.

“Of course. I’d love to, if you wouldn’t mind.” She shrugs and heads to the back of the store. I follow, stooping under the curtain as she holds it up. I can tell she’s nervous. I’m about to speak, when she beats me to it.

“It’s not you. Well, not entirely,” she says, crouching to untie her shoes. “Making me nervous, that is. It’s dressing rooms. I hate them. They make my skin crawl. I hate all the mirrors. And the curtains. And the fact that anybody could just stroll in. it’s all… quite frankly, it’s all bullshit,” she concludes, taking a deep breath.

“I see. Well, I’ll make sure no one comes in. I’ll block the curtain. How’s this?” I ask, stepping between her and the curtain. She gives me a shy smile.

“Thanks, now, just do the same with the mirror so I don’t have to see myself,” she says in a joking tone, though I can tell it’s no joke to her.

“I would never block such beauty,” I answer truthfully. She lets out an uneasy giggle before sliding her pants down her hips and stepping out of them. She leaves them on the floor and tosses her shirt onto the bench. And I’m shocked at the number of tattoos covering her skin. Under her breasts, a delicate fan of roses and a spiky purple flower surround a triskele. Her thigh is covered by a large peacock feather, with the word “dream” woven in. and a sparrow sits on each hip, while a tree of life is perched between her shoulder blades. I must be studying her for longer than acceptable, because she clears her throat just as I catch sight of the “Be brave” tattoo on the outside of her forearm. She has other words near her elbow, but I feel like I’ve stared longer than I should, so I look up to meet her eyes.

“I…my friend is a tattoo artist. He was apprenticing, and he needed practice. And now he needs to fill his portfolio. I let him eat free on Meatloaf Tuesdays, and he gives me ink.” She shrugs and rubs the back of her neck. “You hate them, don’t you?” she asks, not meeting my eyes. “Is this a deal breaker?” she questions.

“What?! No, of course not! May I…”

“You can look,” she says, moving her arms to her sides.

I step forward, taking her forearm into my hand. The words “But Darling, what if you fly?” are scrawled in elegant script on her delicate arm. I study her closely, making a circle around her, pausing as I catch the tiny moon behind her right ear. I also notice the large, raised scars on her arms, but the look in her eyes tells me not to question it. I give her a smile and gently kiss her cheek.

“They’re very nice. Your friend did a good job. Tell me, what are these flowers?” I stroke over the only colored ink on her body.

“Sheep’s Bit. They’re pretty big in Ireland. Before we came here, my mom let me press one in a book. I still have it. I like to look at it sometimes and remember home.”

“Well, that’s beautiful. I’m glad you have something left of there. Believe it or not, I know how it is to miss home.” She nods at my words, giving me a shy smile and looking down at her feet.

“Now, you have dresses to try on.”

After dinner at a nice Mexican place, Collin leads me to his place. It’s a loft on the 29th floor of one of the glass and steel buildings in Manhattan. I’m reminded how rich he actually is as we take his private elevator to the top floor. Of course, everything looks expensive, but surprisingly, it also looks homey. I can tell that he likes to be comfortable at home, and he’s added his own touches to the otherwise impersonal space.

“This place is just temporary. I’m looking for something I like better. I have a house in Texas that I love, but the work brings me here. Make yourself at home. I’m going to go change.” He walks toward what I assume is his bedroom, and I take a careful seat on his black leather sofa. The view from his window wall is amazing. I can see the twinkling lights of the city, and I remember that I do love New York. It’s as much home as Ireland. And while I wasn’t born here, I like being a New Yorker.

When Collin emerges, he’s in faded jeans and a white t-shirt. “That view’s great, ain’t it?” he chirps.

“Yeah, it’s beautiful.” He takes a seat next to me and studies me for a few seconds.

“What?” I ask. I’m not used to people looking at me so closely.

“You’re a beautiful girl, Sparrow.” He scoots closer as cups my cheek. His hand is large and warm against me, and I soak in the feeling of having someone appreciate me. When he leans in to kiss me, I follow, and let his lips brush mine. When his tongue pushes against my lips, I open my mouth to let it in.

After making out with Sparrow for long enough to harden my cock and wet her panties, I pull away and ask, “Can Daddy make you feel good, Baby?” She nods dazedly before her eyes widen and she blushes.

“I’ve…I’ve never…you know,” she stutters, looking down. Oh, she’s a virgin. Something about that fills me with pride.

“That’s alright, Babygirl. I can still make you feel good,” I say as I crouch down in front of her and reach for the button on her pants. She lifts her hips long enough for me to slide the jeans out of the way, but her hand immediately darts down, covering the black fabric of her panties.

“Nobody can like see in, right?” she questions, looking fearfully at the windows. I chuckle.

“No, Love. It’s one-way glass. You’re safe here with me. Ok? I’m going to take good care of you.” She nods and moves her hands away, allowing me to remove her panties and toss them with her jeans.

I nip her thigh before spreading soft, warm, slow kisses up her thighs to her core. I bury my nose in her damp skin and flick her clit with my tongue. Her hips dart off of the sofa, and I smile. She’s easy to rile up. Holding her hips down with my hands, I dive in, knowing that I’m about to have her screaming my name.

⟬ @spiriitum / peter’s birthday 8 • 10 ⟭

It had been a while since she had seen the spider. The last time had been.. chaotic. And the chaos had not stopped there for her, it seemed. Months later had come the assault on Kamar-Taj, Lee moving out of the sanctum and reaching out to those dark energies in Westview. Things had fallen apart so quickly.

Lava missed the spider, but he had seemingly been avoiding her— and Lee, something the witch was both confused and heartbroken over.

As the summer began to wind to a close, the heat in NYC waning in the early evening hours, Lava’s nightly walk brought with it a familiar face. He appeared upset, maybe.. lonely. Hello, she called, ears pricked forward, standing at a distance so as to not spook him. Little did she know that for the first time in his life, Peter Parker was spending his birthday alone.

But maybe he wouldn’t have to. Not anymore.

Are you okay? Can I sit with you?

She’d kept her distance, but the sound of her voice still gave him a start. How had she — ah, did it even matter? How she found him was hardly important because it wasn’t Peter Parker she was speaking to. She only knew him as Spider-Man, the masked, web-slinging hero that had once been so attached, so madly in love with her human companion.

“Hey. . .” Instinct told him to bolt. He couldn’t risk the idea that she might remember him, that her ability to recall who he was might fray at the strength of the spell Strange had put into place.

Except he was still a little selfish and still so painfully lonely that he needed someone here on his special day. Never once could he recall having spent it alone before, the thought making his stomach knot and his eyes sting.

“I guess.” He had to hope the spell would hold. With a hand, he patted at the spot beside him. “Yeah, come sit. It’s been a little while, huh?”

Peter knew it was his own fault, but he couldn’t apologize and couldn’t explain why no matter how badly he wanted to. I’m sorry for ruining your lives, I’m sorry for being selfish and wanting you to remember, and I’m sorry for not being better to you and Lee when I had the chance. He wanted to say it all aloud, but he bit his tongue and turned the eyes of his mask elsewhere.

“How’ve you and Lee been?”

#spiriitum #spiriitum ; lava #「 v. the promise he can't keep ( peter ; forgotten ) 」#( how do I not have a tag for them too? geezeums )#( gotta get on that )#( :c these make me saaaad but I love them )#( Lava is best horse )

Whatever makes the royals uncomfortable is good imo 😉 back in the day I watched and read things about people who worked with them and I just couldn't believe (I mean I could, but still, wtf?!)

Winter is romanticised in general and I'm sick of it. Unless you live in Hallstatt or other places in the Alps don't give me that OMFG WINTER IS SO COOL. - I'm a hater, yes. Sure I love waking up to pure darkness and going home in total darkness as well (AT 4PM), love freezing at the bus stop or scrubbing my cars' windows early in the morning </3 be serious people. Something in the NYC air... yeah pollution kwhhsjdhsjshsha, if I were to move anywhere in the US I would choose NYC or SF.

I cannot remember the Shinee dream, all I know they were at my grandma's house and I was in pyjamas and Teamin didn't want to speak to me, while Key was cooking

I know you can vote and stream normally and if someone wants to do that then fine, but some people are fucking crazy and dramatic and make the experience so bothersome for everyone. Obviously not every user here reads and writes ff, but Twitter is full of sexual things as well, everytime I stumble upon NSFW kpop stan Twitter I wanna die 🤡

You can take my furries, good luck with them!

The smudged lipstick they know what they did and I'm thankful 😳 I might die, but it's fine. And the highlighter too, man is gloooooowing. I remember Atlantis yes! But I need a siren Hwa fic so so baaaad

Not an AU based on my dream 😭 I NEED IT

I actually told Yeo I would like to tattoo a Hehetmon, I feel like I need to do both, the OG and the Hwa one 😅

Baek illiteracy era <3 as long as you can write it's fine! I know, but I was so happy the sad ending wasn't the end game in Clannad it made me appreciate it more actually! Though some people were disappointed and preferred the tragic ending...🔫🔫🔫🔫 but you're right the angst was too much. Who would've fucking guessed 😢 I'm sorry Yunho stans 💔

Yes Teezers sang at someone's wedding! Reminds me of the recent Taemin wedding spotting, but the fact he was in a turtleneck?!

Fresh Pressed is all about encountering the juicy ideas, aesthetics and people shaping culture through the lens of the city's many creative scenes.SXSW NYC Beat (3/18)The NYC (and LA) music scene took over this little corner of Austin at the SXSW NYC Beat concert at popular downtown venue "The Cave and The Creek." The showcase featured two stages, both sporting incredible lineups of musicians. The indoor stage was curated by Sunflower Bean and featured sets by The Life, Strange Ranger, Thus Love, Malice K, Hello Mary, Model/Actriz and Sunflower Bean themselves. The energy inside was booming, with a mix of music industry professionals and seasoned concertgoers vibing out.Things got pretty wild in the later sets, and, by the end of the night, as Sunflower Bean took the stage, the crowd was stirring up into a bountiful mosh pit of bodies smashing into one another. The outdoor stage featured sets by Eera, Mgna Crrrta, Club Eat, Damon Rush, Blaketheman1000, Snow Strippers, The Helpp and Isabella Lovestory. This side of the venue was more electronic-heavy and brought out a younger demographic of fans than those inside, with bubbly fans ripping cigarettes and jumping up and down as they popped to their favorite bops. Isabella Lovestory gave a particularly compelling performance to end the night, wrapping things up with a cherry bomb bang. The Helpp is no easy act to follow but Isabella managed to go beyond holding her own, delivering what felt like the perfect storybook ending to a night filled with great performers.Snow Strippers' Warehouse Rave (3/17)The Snow Strippers may be the next big thing. The band is a duo made up of members Tatiana Schwaninger and Graham Perez. They met in Florida back in 2018 and began making music together around the end of 2021. The duo produces an electronic, icy eargasm sound, making music that makes you want to dance. This is the kind of stuff that will make you bang your head with no shame as you ride a crowded L train to work. Graham had been producing music for a number of years, while Tati had no previous experience making music before they teamed up. Despite her lack of prior experience, she has the voice of a thousand snow angels. Their live set was a fun departure from the more refined sound you might hear when streaming their music online. In concert, Tati jumped around the stage, glitching into multiple dimensions of hype and glory, pulling the whole audience into dark recesses of happiness and fun. Alongside the Snow Strippers, Club Eat and Eera also took the stage and gave solid performances, providing the concertgoers with additional icy cold, refreshing beats to enjoy.You Missed It's Backyard Bash (3/17)The Kerwin Brothers have struck again, succeeding in throwing an absolutely epic party. With backyard tattoos, unlimited booze, oil wresting, free cigarettes, and a lineup that included High, The Dallas Cowboys, May Rio, Blaketheman1000, Nite Fire, Tagabow, Hotline TNT and The Frost Children, everything was in place for an incredible night to ensue. And ensue it did. Smashing beers and taking flash pics, the crowd of mostly local college students and NY/LA weekend visitors partied harder than a school of fish during summer vacation. In NYC, it's very rare to ever get to party in a backyard, so all of the NY locals had the time of their lives. Green grass turned to mud as the crowd jumped around to the electric sets by the many talented musical acts. The Dallas Cowboys stood out for their ability to get the crowd moving, and once the crowd was going, the energy didn’t stop for the rest of the night. They say everything is bigger in Texas and that rang true for the crowd's energy. Legendary nightlife photographer Mark Hunter, aka The Cobrasnake, claimed that it was potentially in the top 10 parties he had ever been to. Jack and Joe, you did it. Yeehaw and God bless Texas!Simone Films Oscars Watch Party @ Nine Orchard (3/12)Simone Films, founded by filmmakers Rebekah Sherman-Myntti and KJ Rothweiler, is a New York-based independent entertainment company doing things unlike any other production company in NYC right now. It's known within the downtown scene as a pillar in shaping a certain subset of the creative community. The company has achieved some degree of a cult following via its exciting events and through curating other scene-centered activities such as hosting a popular actors' studio for up-and-coming talent with teachers such as Michael Imperioli, Alex Ross Perry, Dolly Wells and Peter Vack. On this particular occasion, Simone Films threw a banger of a party, with drinks flowing, an abundance of popcorn and a bumping vinyl DJ set by Billy Jones, the owner of the popular music venue Baby’s All Right. The Oscars watch party was attended by actors, directors, musicians, podcasters, art shmos, indie sleaze queens, cinephiles and a slew of other creatures of the downtown scene. Some notable attendees included Bart Cortright, Makunda Angulo, Eugene Kotlyarenko, Lotfy Nathan and Marcelo Gaia. The owner of Nine Orchard, Andy Rifkin, also pulled up to the event. One thing is clear: Simone Films knows how to bring together a large group of exciting people. It wouldn’t be a surprise if a number of the attendees are at the Oscars in a few years, rather than watching it on TV.The Twink Next Door's Party Backstage @ Dallas BBQ (3/11)Texas-sized piña coladas, glitter and faux fur were all the rage behind the scenes at The Twink Next Door’s debut NYC runway show, unveiling his new collection as a tease of what’s to come as he plans on dropping his new clothing line, TWINK, this Friday. Inspired by icons like Julia Fox, Lady Gaga and Cruella DeVille, The Twink Next Door is bringing maximalist experimental fashion to the downtown NYC scene in stride. Throwing a fun, quirky, DIY aesthetic into the Wild West that is Dallas BBQ made for an undoubtedly memorable (albeit mildly chaotic), ultimately fabulous experience. The collection ate, and so did lots of the attendees. As far as I can tell, this BBQ stood for big, bold and queenly. Those fits were royally delicious. You Missed It Party @ Baby's All Right (3/4)Back in July of 2022, brothers Jack and Joe Kerwin started the popular newsletter "You Missed It" to create a digital scrapbook of the moment, capturing the exciting things happening in the broader emerging culturing landscape. Their first event was New Year's Eve at Baby's All Right where Big Klit played a show while nine months pregnant. At the second show, Ernest Rareberrg performed with a cast of 15 people. For their third and most recent event, the Taxidermists played an unreleased album followed up by popular musical acts Hello Mary and Momma. They also got Channel Beads, Harry Teardrop and Julia Cumming to DJ. Next week, You Missed It will be hosting a concert series in Austin, Texas at SXSW with two stages, one curated by Perfectly Imperfect and the other by Sunflower Bean. Stay posted with Fresh Pressed as we follow the Kerwin bros down to SXSW to cover what they do next. https://www.papermag.com/fresh-pressed-snow-strippers-rave-2659589146.html
