Congrats on 6k!! 🎉 You deserve it and plenty more! ❤️
This one is slightly different but mutual pining office romance with modern Steve? Some inspo like “I got a coffee and muffin for you because I noticed you haven’t left your desk all morning”, teasing jokes, tension in the elevator, the a/c in the office doesn’t work and it’s the middle of summer 👀
18+ (ish)
It was Casual Friday on a Tuesday.
The air conditioning went bust building-wide, and the stuffy businessmen on the fiftieth floor decided to be lenient about the dress code for the time being. Of course, that still meant everyone had to work in ninety-degree temperatures with little to no relief, but at least Steve could see you waltz around in a pretty little tank top and pencil skirt.
“I’m pretty sure there’s a policy against showing your shoulders, sweetheart,” Steve jokes to announce his arrival as he walks into your office.
Jolted from your stupor at the printer, your head whips over your shoulder. You find the boy in his usual white button-up, unclasped to reveal his ribbed undershirt with the sleeves pushed up to his elbows. Sweaty honey hair pushed back over his forehead, the underside of his glasses slightly fogged.
He sits a white paper bag and a cup of iced coffee on your desk.
You smile, warmed by his presence in a way that’s far more tolerable than the heat wave.
“I’m pretty sure that’s because Mr. Harrington knew his son wouldn’t be able to keep it in his pants otherwise,” you squint at him, still grinning. 
“Well, I must say, you are far sexier than balance sheets.”
You giggle like a schoolgirl when his broad arms wrap around you from behind. His lips sprinkle chaste kisses to the sticky skin of your bare shoulder. You can feel him smiling against you.
When you turn around to return the favor, you notice that the blinds of your office are still open — leaving the both of you on display to the entire rest of the floor you manage. They’re all too busy with their own work and too plagued by the heat to notice, but you pull away from Steve and his kisses anyway.
“You didn’t shut the blinds, you dork!” you scold, pushing your hand against his chest as you step back like he’s burned you.
Steve laughs. “C’mon. Nobody’s looking. I can kiss you.”
You’re not swayed by the wide palms he slides on your hips.
“Not until you shut the blinds and lock the door,” you scowl sternly, using your uncowed, badass businesswoman voice that always makes his knees buckle.
And even though he thinks twisting the slatted curtains closed is far more suspicious, he listens to you anyway. It’s the least he can do to make his girl feel comfortable — to make her less tense and more receptive to his touches.
Your concerns aren’t totally unfounded. You’ve told him a million times why you don’t want to make your relationship public. “I’d be dating my boss’s kid, Steven,” you’d gripe. “All my accomplishments stop meaning something after that.” 
You started out on the second floor in the mail room, spent a year slaving over the books in the dim eerie hall of the seventh, and then got promoted to floor twenty-five after a particularly lucrative sale. You worked your ass off and it left you much more concerned about your position in the firm than most people tend to be. 
You were halfway to the top. The very first woman to run this whole floor. 
And you loved Steve, just not enough to throw all that away.
“Happy now?” he singsongs as he locks the door with a low click.
With your bottom lip between your teeth, you nod. 
Now you can ogle him without fear of someone noticing, touch him all over without someone reporting it to H.R. 
He looks far too sexy than what should be allowed — in his loose slacks, glasses perched on the bridge of his strong nose, chest hair poking out from the collar of his tank top.
Screw the shoulders, Steve’s body should be a company-wide violation.
Propped up on your desk, the boy settles between your thighs — spreading them slightly with his hips and making your skirt ride up. His wide palms settle on the outsides of your bare knees. Your hands rise to cradle his scruffy jaw, pulling him down for a much needed kiss. 
His lips on yours are as all-consuming as the humidity surrounding you.
Your mouths click wetly when they part.
You smile at each other like two lovesick idiots.
“What’s in the bag?” you wonder, nodding your head to the paper sack beside you and the iced coffee already melting next to it.
“A blueberry muffin and one of those bagels you like,” Steve answers, big hands squeezing your thighs. “‘Cause I know you haven’t eaten all morning.”
“I’ve eaten!” you protest half-heartedly.
“Yeah?” he challenges. “What.”
“…An apple slice from the platter we had in the meeting room.”
A laugh rumbles in his chest. “That so does not count. You gotta eat better, babe. Alright? Especially in this heat. Can’t have you passing out at the copier or something.”
“Well, that’s why I have you, right?” you retort, arms wrapping around his neck to pull him closer. This heat wave’s no match for the fire that sparks between the two of you every time you touch. “So you can bring me breakfast and feed it to me when you know I’m too busy to eat.”
“Why would I feed it to you?” he chuckles in a scoff.
You shrug. “‘Cause you love me.”
“…Touché.”
“What about you, Stevie?” you lilt, almost teasingly. “Have you eaten today?”
“I bought me something when I stopped at the café for you, but… I could always go for another bite.”
You grin wide like a mischievous cat. It would be alarming how quickly the air between you can turn from innocent to sinful if you weren’t already so turned on. You’ll just blame it on the heat for now.
“I bet you worked up a real appetite in this heat, huh?” you ask him, feigning sympathy, as the tip of your nose brushes his own. His breath fans against your mouth. You can already taste the coffee on him. 
“Yeah,” he huffs lowly. “Definitely.”
“Maybe I should give you something else to eat…” 
Your eyes flutter shut when his hand trails between your thighs to cup your pussy over your cotton underwear. Your neck becomes free real estate for his mouth when your head tips back. His thumb rubs your clothed clit. He can feel a damp patch already starting to form.
“Let me clear off your desk, baby,” he slurs into your pulse, smearing his spit there. “Need you to ride my face…”
“Shit, Steve—”
A knock at the door pierces the silence made velvet by sweet nothings and heavy breaths. Both of you freeze in shock, still clutching onto each other, like if you stay still enough whoever’s behind the door will leave.
“Who is that?” Steve murmurs to you, his eyes trained on the shined shoes behind the sliver of space beneath the door.
“I don’t know…”
“Steve? Are you in there?” Mr. Harrington’s voice comes muffled as the door handle jiggles. “When I told you to be fast. I meant fast. I need you for another errand.”
“Oh, shit,” you swear, breath caught in your throat. “Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit—”
“It’s okay,” Steve whispers sharply back to you. He inches toward the locked door.“Just… Just be cool.”
“Steve Harrington—”
“It’s fine.”
“—Don’t you dare open that door.”
He swings it open anyway. His father stands before him, looking just like his son but a few decades older and not nearly as pretty. He scowls. “Care to tell me what the door was locked?” he deadpans.
You’re glad he’s not looking at you for an answer. You wouldn’t have been able to lie like Steve does. It comes rather effortlessly to him because he’s done it all his life.
“I was bringing her breakfast, remember? Like I told you. And then we just started talking, you know? I can be a real blabbermouth sometimes.”
“Don’t I know it,” Mr. Harrington monotones. By the time he pokes his head around the doorway to your desk, you’ve already rid yourself of any evidence that you might’ve been kissing his son. His stern expression never wavers. “Both of you. Come with me.”
You nod like you’re happy to do it, swallowing down the inkling that you’re about to get fired that rises like bile in the back of your throat.
Like cows to the slaughter, you and Steve trail behind his father as he leads you through the twenty-fifth floor and to the elevators. Steve tries to grab your hand in a feeble attempt to comfort you. You jerk away from him, not wanting to be caught being so unprofessional a second time.
The elevator is quiet and stiff with sweltering heat. Mr. Harrington presses the button for the fiftieth floor.
“Um… Can I ask where we’re going?” Steve answers when the doors shut.
“I’ve got a big client coming in and want you two to sit in on the meeting. I think it could be very beneficial for you both,” he answers, still monotone, but obviously not angry.
Your chest deflates with a sigh of relief.
The man’s hands are tucked neatly behind his back. His eyes stay locked on the digital inclining numbers below the ceiling — 28, 29, 30…
“I want you to clean up in the bathroom before you go in, too. You’ve both got lipstick smeared on your chin.”
Your heart sinks all over again.
Mr. Harrington turns to his son, still as stern as ever but with a foreign glint in his eye. It borders on playful. “And if you run off my best accountant, Steven, I’m booting you back down to the mail floor.”

Here it is, take it now-
Now if you want a bit of context, keep reading then-
I am still deciding which AU this is. An outright badass noble from the beginning AU, after the dungeons and trying fuck over Le'gard after he ascended AU, or repeated lives AU but each lifetime is different flavor of trauma. Or maybe just make this into a shitpost AU-
Also, if you're wondering why her frame looks so small is because in this lifetime, she has let go of herself (i.e. she didn't become a knight, and suffered night terrors which often lead her to lose a lot of her appetite, got locked up in her room for months no end by her parents to avoid her shaming them, and gave up a lot of things that once brought her so much comfort and joy like spars, training, and horseback riding) and developed body image issues. She's gonna work on that a little later once she finally breaks away again from her family after buying her title as a baroness in a rural area.
As for the reasoning behind her fashion, Canon D'arce doesn't have much of an identity and her dominant soul would be left dormant. Or at least, she thinks she is dominating through Le'gard's ambitions. I mean, her ascended form left her bald and hairless all over. So I wanted to give her a strong sense of identity or at least she's experimenting with it; Like changing her hairstyle daily and cutting it short during the summer. She would also wear dresses but she wears masculine clothes as well. She even wears one under her dresses.
She would also fan flames of rumors so people wouldn't figure out who she really was until they met her. Some rumors call her vain and narcissistic (because of her styles changing almost daily and the fact she set a lot of trends), another calls her cold and cruel (she did take over territories), some call her an aggressive businesswoman (she bought "useless" land from the original owner then found out its true value and tried to buy it back from her but she said no), and sometimes, she would get positive rumors such as "As if the Sun was human" due to how often her smiles are so bright- It's also the smiles she makes if she kills people oop-
As for her religion, she stopped worshipping god/s-
After my word vomit, enjoy more art below-
Tumblr media
Nth Life D'arce wishing she could tell off her past self off for wanting and even downright begging for a morsel of attention from Le'gard-
Tumblr media
IDK how this would happen but I like the idea where Francois decided that she's the daughter he didn't know he wanted-
Tumblr media
Eeerrrrrr- I wish I rendered this too but uuuhhh-

OHSHC- How they show their S/O affection and vice versa (HC)
(According to my brain😁🕶🤏)
* warning: I ship Tamaki x Haruhi, and everyone else’s S/O is unknown, and this is evident in my headcanons*
Tamaki and Haruhi
What love language doesn’t this guy speak?
He’s very touchy when they’re alone
He’s a hugger
Haruhi isn’t as into physical touch the way he is
She likes it though
But I see Tamaki as someone who likes to spoon, and be cuddled up as a pastime
Haruhi is not quite like that
She likes to hold hands, and stuff like that
But she probably kind of prefers to sleep on her own
Tamaki would want to cuddle her though
So they’d like cuddle and talk about their day or whatever
Then they’d roll over and not be so on top of each other to actually sleep
I think he’s careful about gift giving
So as not to overwhelm Haruhi
Even though he likes to give gifts
Same with Haruhi, she’s more of an acts of service gal
So gifts are like small and sentimental
They both prefer:
#thegiftofeachotherscompany
He’s definitely good with words
Leaves Haruhi speechless a lot
But she does the same
They’re both very sure in their relationship after they’ve been together a while
They seem like they wouldn’t have to talk to communicate, you know?
But they do talk, a lot
They definitely run on quality time
That is the basis of their relationship
Tamaki doesn’t like to be without Haruhi much
Haruhi is a little more adaptable
but she’ll start to miss him if she’s without him for a couple days
NSFW
Idk, it’s very lovey dovey
They don’t do it much
They’d rather cuddle idk
My mind just can’t get gears moving on them doing this
But they do it I guess
Kyoya
I doubt he ends up with that lady from the manga tbh
She’s a little too old for him, and idk she seems too free-spirited, plus the familial conditions, blah blah blah
Btw idk what Kyoya’s sexuality is, but I think he marries a cis woman because business
Probably a badass, self-made, businesswoman
I think that is the dynamic he and his s/o would have- the way he was with that lady
He’s a big words of affirmation guy
But only because they flirt by roasting each other
So when he says “I love you” or gives a compliment…
Oh boy that is a BIG DEAL
I think he’s big on every other love language though
We all know he’s kind of self-serving
But his s/o becomes part of the self-serving-ness
If they’re happy, he is
So he gives gifts a lot
They’ll just be out walking through a shopping center
And if she looks at something for too long
Oh wow yeah consider it bought
Knows her clothes size
Randomly buys her clothes
Also doesn’t let her lift a finger tbh
There’s servants for everything
Oh my goodness is this man into physical touch
This is his main love language
Also quality time
She’s the only company he can endure for days at a time
I like to think that they work in business together
Like their business combine or something
And they’re co-CEOs that work together
For their combined company
Idk what it’s in, idk business
So they’re together all the time
Their work will be different
But they’re always traveling to the same places
They’re rarely in business trips without each other on the same continent
I def think he likes cuddling by the way
I know he’s kind of cold but give me a sec 🤚
He’s the type to fall asleep with his face in her neck
He’d lay with his head between her thighs, and legs draped over his soldiers
And he’d draft fucking business emails or something
They eat just about every meal together
He also won’t attend an event if she’s not going
“But Kyoya, I’m literally your brother, and this is my bachelor party!”
“Women aren’t invited though.”
“Can’t you live without _ for a few days?”
“A few hours sure, but I don’t see a bachelor party as a strong enough reason to spend several days without _.”
All of these things kind of make up for the fact that he’s not a guy who says “I love you” much
He does say it though
He’d say it while they’re sitting at a restaurant in Barcelona on their anniversary
He’d say it if he leaves to go somewhere without her
He’d say it after making out (or more)
He’d say it when she does something for him
He’s just not a random “I love you” guy
NSFW
Ok yeah the gears are turning on this one
This is one of the events where he says “I love you”
They do it quite frequently
But it’s not a thing they’ll do quickly
Like it’s part of their nighttime routine if they make it home by a decent hour
They both shower before
Then like take a bath together after
It’s a very lovey-dovey thing
Like there’s no degradation
Nor pain
But this guy loves overstimulation
Will make his partner finish at least a couple times before his pants even come off
She will finish several times
He kind of gets off on that
He definitely is a giver
Making her feel good is half the fun
This is very specific, but:
He’d make her finish several times
Then he’d make her ride him
And she’d be like out of breath and sobbing
And he’d just like encourage her
Like
“Come on, you can do it.”
“Don’t you want to make me cum?”
“Yes, perfect. There you go, love.”
Then after they finish like that
She’d collapse on top of him, out of breath
Then he’d like wrap his arms around her
And get up and carry her to the bathroom like that
And they’d take a bath together
This would probably be a routine for them
Oh yeah btw he’s definitely had a vasectomy
So yeah, he likes to do it raw fyi
Actually looks forwarding to finishing inside
And he likes keeping it inside her until they reach the bath
Hikaru
Idk if he’s straight, I doubt he does either
So I assume he ends up marrying a cis woman
But he has bi wife energy
He by no means “wears the pants” in the relationship
Continuing the legacy of strong Hitachiin women lol
He’s a big physical touch and words guy
Will cuddle her constantly
Will just come up and hug her waist, lay his head on her chest, and just say like “hi” or “*sigh* I love you”
Likes to hold
But more so being held
Not much of a sleepy cuddler
They’ll relax and cuddle
But not sleep
She’ll be laying propped up on pillows
A movie playing or something
And he just lays on his stomach while hugging her waist and head on her chest
Or on his back with his head below her belly button and her thighs over his shoulders
While they just scroll on their phones
He definitely feels most loved from acts of service
But he’s not all that into giving that himself
But he’ll do it sometimes
He does like gifts, giving and receiving
Will randomly come home with stuff for her
And wants to see her reaction
Likes receiving gifts, but gets kind of flustered
Like
“Oh you didn’t have to, but thank you”
But then he’ll gush about it to himself later
Especially wary in the relationship
Loves quality time but needs time apart just as much
I bet she does too
They’d be the pair to just be really happy to spend the evenings and off days together
And though they spend much of their days doing their own stuff
He cannot sleep without her.
He cannot.
He can, but if sucks.
She would be fine, she’d just miss him.
But he would get anxious
Would need extra pillows to hug
Wouldn’t sleep well overall
NSFW
He’s had a vasectomy to be able to do it
He enjoys coming inside
LOVES praise
Probably kind of submissive
Likes for her to take control
Prefers she do more of the work
Most of the time she’s on top
He’d probably kind of praise her efforts
To be praised in return of course
And if he’s on top, he wants constant praise
Kind of obsessed with her body
If she’s not in the mood
Which she’s not afraid to say
He will literally jerk off right next to her
No shame
Probably felt shame at first
But now he enjoys it
Kaoru
Idk what this man’s sexuality is
He ain’t straight tho
So his S/O is just a they for now
They could be any gender tbh
He LOVES physical touch
Loves to cuddle
Loves holding hands
Is totally content on his own
But LOVES to be constantly touching them
They could be riding the metro and he’d be holding their hand
Is good at words of affirmation
Will tell them how he feels
Expects that in return though
And they may struggle and he’s be patient
He’d encourage them
Receiving words of affirmation is a big deal for him
Does love quality time of course
Will sit in silence for hours
He’ll talk but he’s more of a listener
If they want to rant about their day, he’d just sit, totally focused and listening, while playing with their hand or something.
He gives good advice
Really likes receiving well thought out gifts
Will appreciate any though
Only gives gifts if they’re special
He sees acts of service as a given
He’d do anything to make their life easier
And they feel the same
Which he just knows
NSFW
Has had a vasectomy (if needed)
Not afraid to be pegged
In fact he enjoys it
He is such a bottom
LOVES for them to be in control
They tend to be in charge
He’s a big aftercare guy
The two take good care of each other
Enjoys all the aspects of sex
Foreplay more so than the actual act
Could make out for hours
He definitely gives head
Doesn’t expect it in return but will happily oblige
Mori
This guy’s straight idc
He is the definition of traditional
He lives for physical touch
He’s constantly holding her
Sitting with his arm around her
Or hand on her thigh
Or at least holding her hand
Sleeps with his arms around her and face in her neck
Likes to feel like he’s protecting her
She likes feeling protected
To specifically describe the sleeping situation:
She hugs his neck
He hugs her waist
Her legs wrap around his torso
His head is in her neck
Her chin is on the back of his head
The MOST intimate of cuddling for this guy
His love languages are all of them though.
He loves spending time with her
Kind of gets separation anxiety
Like, if she’s not around, he’s thinking of her
Will text to make sure she’s safe
She thinks he’s a little paranoid
But appreciates the care
They do everything they can together
Words of affirmation are big for him
He’s not afraid to say he loves her
But he always has to remind her
Likes to hear it in response
Or unprompted especially
Oh yeah and he’s a good listener
But so is she
He does actually talk to her a lot
Will recount all the events of his day while playing with her hair
Tells her stories from before they met
She loves hearing it
And he loves hearing her talk
She’ll tell him stories or talk about her day too
And he’ll fully relax just listening
And yeah he’s constantly acting in service
He’s such a caretaker
But it makes him so soft when she takes care of him
In general he’s so soft for her
Like she makes him food, he would be so happy
Also, gifts?
Idk if he’s all that into that
But she’d give him gifts frequently
And she’d love to see if he likes it
Because she loves how giving he is with acts
And so he’d try to get her gifts
But he’s lowkey clueless?
Would end up getting very niche things
Because he’d walk through the whole mall until he’s like «yeah, that one»
And it’s the most random thing
NSFW
Another guy whose had a vasectomy
Definitely has a breeding kink
But he’s not stupid, so he makes sure there’s no surprises
At least not until they’re married and in agreement on things
He likes to be in control
He doesn’t have to be on top though
Because he is undoubtedly bigger than her
So he doesn’t have to be on top to have control
Lowkey likes manhandling her
#gently
Doesn’t like receiving head
In fact he insists she doesn’t give any
But he’s all about giving it
Would usually do it before penetration
Likes to make her feel good
Gets off on it actually
Oh and
You know he’s big on aftercare
She will not be walking for at least an hour after sex
He prefers to do it at night so they can bath then cuddle together
Either way he’d carry her to the bathroom to clean her up
Or at least tell her to lay
And he’d come back with a towel and clean her up himself
Sex always leads to cuddles
He won’t let go of her regardless
But after sex he really won’t
Honey
Idk what gender he’s into
They’re cute though
Loves cuddles
That’s the only physical touch though
Loves any quality time
Prefers to do things together
He loves when s/o does acts of service
But he’s not good at reciprocating in daily life
Will try though
He’d do it in bigger ways
Like he’d take them to the movies
Then the theatre is empty
And they’re like “huh?”
“Oh yeah, I rented out the theatre since you said you weren’t feeling like being around people today.”
He doesn’t see it as acts of service
It’s just being a decent s/o
He loves gifts
Usually sweets
But when it’s something else they realize he likes
Like from a small detail he mentioned
He is TOUCHED
He gives gifts too
Usually just for special occasions
Or if he happened to have an idea or see something
Words aren’t hard for him
So they don’t mean that much
NSFW
Idk
Gears not turning
Maybe he’s ace or demi
If they do it, it’s a special event
It’s not frequent

I have come to some conclusions about Marcus and his story that I think are going to pay off.
In AOM:
He and Horatio don't have a romantic thing going on but they are extremely cuddly friends which also makes them the perfect pair for Sid to misinterpret. Which I think is a useful setup for Sid's whole deal and also gives me the soft nonsense I desire
Sid probably still ends up hiding at Sorian's house but for any kind of long-term parent evasion he would have to go to Marcus's because his parents would never look there. Still looking for a good excuse to make that happen. Sid and Marcus should also be friends and not just in a "thanks for testing my hair dye" kind of way
In Marcus's own as-yet-unnamed story:
In previous versions his love interest was a Hallmark-movie businesswoman type who was learning to pay attention to her own needs and desires, so that when Marcus was forced to tell her his deep dark secrets it was like she was getting her hard-won happiness stolen away from her. But I don't want to write that anymore and I want a story that is more about both of them. So I present to you:
Love interest is the bat-eared fox shifter I mentioned earlier, named Heith (for now at least - I might change my mind but that was her name in the last version). They're a traveling punk singer who is touring Aephar. Probably they look badass as fuck when shifted because that's a lot of ear real estate for piercings.
As they start to form a romantic connection Marcus is constantly worried that she's not gonna like some aspects of his life that he's not willing to give up/compromise on, like the aforementioned friendship with Horatio. But she keeps being so chill about everything, like nothing is ever a problem to her, and he slowly accepts that maybe this whole "finding love in a faraway system" thing isn't so hard.
This was the end of their tour, but Heith keeps putting off going home and her band leaves her behind to go back to whatever island they came from (believe it or not Imni and Aephar are not the only islands on Rade). She doesn't seem bothered by this either. It starts to become clear (at least to the reader) that whenever things get hard, she just dips from relationships, but things haven't gotten hard with him yet.
But then (spoilers I guess?) a military escort ship arrives from Iecunem and Marcus has to explain that the general belief that he was escaping shitty parents or a shitty job or maybe even the law when he left Iecunem is only a sliver of the story. His awful manipulative mother is now dead, and he's the heir to her kingdom. Not only that, but he has multiple spouses there and multiple children that are legally considered his. He tries to explain the complexities of this and that he'll be right back after he goes to the funeral and abdicates to his sister, but it doesn't seem like Heith is going to wait that long to disappear.
And this time, no one would really blame her if she did. This is a lot of stuff to suddenly digest. But she's also been here long enough to have considered not just running away. At the eleventh hour she shows up at the warp station to join Marcus on his trip back to Iecunem. Horatio high key had not realized that Marcus had only intended to take one other person on this trip, but when Marcus insists that he stay and take care of their collective plants instead of going to Iecunem he's also kind of relieved because he doesn't really trust anyone else with them.

Oh, that sweet, sweet conflicted feeling of being excited to begin a new piece of writing, with the shadow of “getting more than a handful of people to engage with it beyond a like will be once again like herding cats” looming right over me.
Why do I do this to myself? Why must I succumb to creativity no matter what?
Still excited though. Because this guy…

Hi bug, could I request some teasing modern office stevie when he definitely should be concentrating on some important reports and not the pictures you’re sending him from the bathroom 💖
ty for requesting :D — steve is grumpy at the office halloween party until you spend him naughty pictures from the bathroom (modern!au, established relationship, smut 18+, 1.6k)
fictober (㇏(•̀ᵥᵥ•́)ノ)
The company-wide Halloween party was a total bust.
Steve’s Top Gun leather jacket was cool and all, but now — eight hours into his shift — it feels slightly suffocating. It’s heavy and making him almost unbearably hot, but he can’t take it off, or his dad will lose his shit. 
Everyone had to dress up. That was the memo. It’s to boost company morale or whatever bullshit they’re spinning these days. Even the stuffy guys on the fiftieth floor are wearing their own fancy, half-assed costumes. 
Steve wasn’t much of a fan of the whole thing, especially not after he offered to match with you and you completely shut him down. “My dad already knows about us, babe!” he whined. “It’s not a big deal!”
You shot him your hardened, badass businesswoman stare that always seems to stop him in his tracks. “Your dad knowing isn’t even the half of it, Steve. I don’t want us to be the headline for office gossip for the next six months, alright?”
Going into his nine-to-five the day before Halloween, the only thing he was remotely excited about was seeing your costume. You rock a pencil skirt and blouse like you were made to do it, but fuck, he loves seeing you out of your work clothes.
And you were really fucking cute — Uma Thurman from Pulp Fiction, in one of his white button-ups, black slacks, and high heels. It isn’t overtly sexy, because it is an office party after all, but he’d stare at you all day if he could.
Screw the work, he wants to lay on the couch in your office and watch you in your element with his hand shoved down his pants.
His phone buzzes sharply beside him, knocking him out of his daydream. It’s a text notification from you — one image attachment, it reads. He’s already smiling like a teenage boy now that you’re talking to him. He’s been lonely all day without you. 
He taps the message with his thumb to open the text thread, even happier to find that it’s a picture of you.
You look like you’re in a bathroom stall — for privacy maybe, because you’re flashing him your lacy lingerie. Your blouse is unbuttoned at the top to reveal your black bra that’s mostly see-through. It’s a cup size or more too small for you, so the tops of your breasts spill slightly from the fabric. 
Don’t do this to me, he replies.
Do what? you ask.
Another picture comes right after. It’s from a higher-up angle, a much better view of your cleavage. You’re staring up at the camera with doe eyes that drive him crazy.
Steve shifts in his swivel chair, spine-tingling distantly with the subtle stiffening of his cock. He looks over both shoulders, just to make sure no one’s around to see the filth on his phone, then texts you back.
You know what, he types. Don’t start something you can’t finish.
You send him a third picture, smiling all innocent at the camera. Captioned beneath it reads, I don’t think I’m the one who needs to worry about finishing, Stevie.
Steve doesn’t bother replying this time. He clicks his phone off and readjusts his pants, rising from his desk and heading straight for the elevator.
—————
Standing at the row of pristine sinks, you wait for Steve’s response.
You knew he wasn’t having the greatest day. His dad’s been on his ass more than usual and you’re not the best at comforting him when you’re in work mode. So you step out of your comfort zone in attempts to cheer up your boyfriend, actively trying to be sexy.
But then he just leaves you on read, and now you’re spiraling in the women’s restroom.
What if he didn’t like it? your brain berates you. What if he thinks you’re trying too hard? What if he’s turned off by you?
You don’t get the chance to get embarrassed about it because Steve’s busting through the bathroom door a second later. You’re scared by the sudden intrusion, then halfway relieved, then utterly shocked.
“Steve— what are you doing in here? This is the women’s restroom!”
“Obviously,” the boy scoffs and locks the door behind him.
Your eyes are wide and wild when he turns back to face you. “What the hell are you doing?” you repeat, teeth gritted as you try your best to whisper.
His eyes sparkle with something honeyed and mischievous. He shrugs all boyish and corners you against the marble countertop. “Told you not to start something you couldn’t finish, remember?”
His palms spread wide and warm on your waist as he leans down to kiss you. You’re almost lost in him enough to let him. The logical part of your brain blares an alarm in your subconcious, and you hold him back before he can inch any further.
“No. Nope. We’re not doing this,” you announce with a shake of your head, to yourself more than anything.
Steve’s brows pinch. “Why not?”
You blink up at him for a moment, bemused by his confusion because the answer’s pretty obvious. “‘Cause we’re at work, Steven. That’s why.”
He always melts for you when you call him that.
“You’re hot when you’re mean, you know that?” he murmurs with a lopsided grin. 
He ducks down again, and you think he’s gonna kiss you. You’re about to fight him until his plush lips lock on your pulse point. You cave before you mean to, turning to marshmallow fluff in his hands. 
Steve maneuvers you onto the counter with a pair of strong hands. When he plants himself between your legs, his hard cock brushes your inner thigh. You have to remind yourself to breathe.
With a tongue tasting of nicotine and the chocolate-covered pretzels you made for the Halloween party, Steve kisses the air from your lungs. You’re happy without it. As long as it means he’ll keep touching you like he is now. 
His fingers fuss with the buttons of your shirt. He tries to kiss you and unclasp them at the same time, but realizes it’s halfway impossible. You feel each one pop pop pop when he all but rips at your collar.
“Hey— be gentle,” you scold, slurring slightly when you part from him. “I gotta work after this, you know?”
“Yeah, if I don’t take you home first.” His words are mumbled and nearly inaudible. You barely catch the last half of them because he’s burying his face in your chest. 
It’s nothing you’re not used to — he often jokes that your tits are his two favorite girls, a close second to you.
You weave your hands through his chopped cinnamon hair, keeping him pressed against you while he kisses and sucks at your breasts — over the sheer fabric of the lingerie you chose specifically for him. His tongue runs warm and wet over your clothed nipple. You fight back a shiver.
Drunk on him and his tender touches, you let him open you up with his fingers without any fuss. You let him push you to the brink of a spine-tingling orgasm and back again — only fussing a little about his teasing until he slips his cock into you.
Steve doesn’t mean to fuck you so gently in the work bathroom, but it’s in his nature to be soft with you. 
Even during quickies, he’s all but making love to you. He holds your lolling head in both his calloused palms, making sure your eyes stay on his while he punches into you. You’re pretty good at keeping your moans at bay, aside from a few measly whines he swallows when he kisses you. 
You compensate for your withheld noises by digging your nails into his shoulders. You’re pretty sure there’ll be crescent shapes in the leather of his jacket when he’s done with you.
The bathroom fills with the sounds of heavy pants, concealed moans, and the jingling of Steve’s belt buckle. He babbles sweet nothings into your neck, words slurred and muffled there. You’re not even sure he knows what he’s saying.
“It’s so good. You’re so fucking good— fuck, fuck, fuck,” he rambles, chopped through thrusts and heavy breaths. “Can’t fucking wait to show you off, you know that? Wanna tell everyone you’re mine.”
“I am yours,” you tell him, breathless and with a whimper trapped in your throat. His cock pierces you mercilessly. The pressure on your clit is relentless. “Always been yours.”
And if he wasn’t about to burst already — you tell him this, and he’s a fucking goner. His hips stutter almost instantly. His whine swells in the bathroom, mostly muffled into your neck. He spits several loads of warm cum into you and sends you absolutely gushing.
And like the gentlemen he is, he fucks you stupid and cleans you up right after.
He chucks the wet paper towel in the bin and asks you, “Did you mean it?”
“Mean what?” you repeat, legs still hanging over the counter, tingling with numbness.
“When you— you know, when you said you were mine?”
You shrug with an air of absentmindedness. “Of course.”
“I just… We never made anything official, and I didn’t know if… I don’t know— if you were seeing someone else or whatever.”
“Your dad knows we’re fucking, so I think we’re pretty much official now,” you tease, giggling and sliding your panties back into place. You hop off the counter to put your slacks back on. Steve fusses with his belt.
“Guess so,” he laughs back.
“And I don’t plan on seeing anyone else for the foreseeable future,” you confess, smiling shyly and tilting your head to your shoulder. “Just so you know.”
Steve’s suddenly smiling, crooked and boyish and pink. “Good. ‘Cause I don’t either.”
“Good,” you hum with a similar grin.
“Good.”
He kisses you again — ‘cause he can do that now, considering you’re finally official and everything. It’s a too sweet peck compared to how sinfully he was fucking you just minutes ago. 
He pulls back from you with furrowed brows.  “Does that mean we can tell people about—”
“Absolutely not, Steve Harrington.”

Ok but really W was in England a couple of months ago and now it seems in Ireland.. why is now one questioning what job he has coz really?!? And M? Beloved long time dream bar?! She moved to by to be with her husband for the birth is their child they say, well understandable mom's take maternity leave.. but in this case said husband was busy like 24/7 so again bar? What bar?! What a coincidence isn't it that these two so's seem to have absolutely nothing to do
Its truly just the most incredible coincidence that two of the hardest working highly talented young men you'll see are both tied to SO who couldn't be lazier or less their professional equals if you tried. I have absolutely no idea what it is that W does for a living since he seems to do even less work than M, if that's humanly possible (it shouldn't be). I've heard he's supposed to be some kind of writer or something along those lines, but other than trailing C around, I don't know what it is he does and I don’t think I’m alone with that thought. And where have I heard that before? The only difference between them is that prior to the last couple of months, we didn't see W all that much - at least in comparison to M. C seemed content to keep their "relationship" on the DL, which sounds like him and seemed to fit. We'd get the occasional pic, but there was almost always a 3rd or 4th party present and it always felt more like a bunch of friends hanging out than anything romantic; I've never once gotten that boyfriends vibe from them at all.  And if you really think its just a coincidence that we suddenly started getting tons of pics - comparatively speaking - of them right after the baby news dropped (ugh hopefully that metaphor has died), well then, bless your heart.  You don’t just wake up one morning, do a personality 180, and decide to publicly share the details of your life that you’d previously kept to yourself, especially considering his SM accounts have a much more authentically C feel to them.  He seems to have more control over what’s posted and for the most part, they are used to promote his work and his career and not his SO.  Plus they are generally in English and make sense and aren't the drunken gibberish we’ve unfortunately come to expect from D’s accounts.  And we aren’t bombarded with articles about how cool W is and you don’t have  C’s entire team trying to sell an ever changing timeline while pushing a couple narrative that seems to always contradict said timeline.  I still roll my eyes at it but it doesn’t fill me with the “FFS here we go again” annoyance that I get with D.
That god awful bar has been an albatross around D’s neck since before it opened and we’ve watched him waste far too much of his time over the years promoting it.  If its her life long dream, tell her to get off her ass and do the work herself.  He can't make the point that this is her bar any clearer.  If she wanted this so much, why didn’t she just open the bar herself?  Its not like she was busy with anything and her family is wealthy and connected, so what was stopping her from getting this off the ground?  Could it be that no one outside of her little stans would care that MS opened a bar?  No one outside of D’s fandom has any idea who she is - why would they - so that limits the pool of people you can immediately attract as customers.  But with D’s name and his fame behind it and with it being billed as “theirs,” all of a sudden, you have a huge base to continuously sell to. So the badass businesswoman gets free press for her strip bar while someone else does all the work to keep it afloat. She’s been in NYC since March and probably hasn’t even given that place a second thought, much like she does when she shadows D to events for weeks at a time all around the world. Such dedication.  And most new parents who take maternity leave use that time to bond with their baby and figure out how to keep it alive.  She was out and about in the city the same week the baby was born and has been spotted numerous times since at bars and late night parties and spent the entire Tonys weekend living it up.  July 4th concert at the capitol?  Babysitter in the hotel room it is!  She’s at the AB closing party making sure that she’s seen because the party wouldn’t count otherwise.  And like always, D’s SO is the only one who feels the need to make a spectacle of herself.  Its the same eye rolling bullshit we’ve been watching for the past 5 years, only now its even more obvious that her priorities are her and her siphoned “fame” because what kind of person so readily abandons their newborn for things they don't really need to be at?  The baby is a prop to her and an attention getter and I sincerely hope they are at least keeping her inside in the air conditioned hotel right now since the UK is melting and her safety is more important than posing for cutesy little family pics that are sent to and then shared by M’s promotional team.

I love the dynamic between Mel and her mom because they are both the opposite type of villain.
Mel's the rich conniving politician/businesswoman and meanwhile Ambessa's the badass conquerer that takes names and slaughters ass.
So basically Mel is Elon Musk and Ambessa's Genghis Khan

just finished reading your madoka magica au and OHHHHHUGHAHHAGHH ITS SONGOOD. like. extremely extremely niche I can't believe someone other than me has even thought abt this concept. It gets at the tragedy of it all in a very canon typical way that's not grimdark. and like I was prepared to giggle a bit at them qll being girls but it fr read very naturally bc of the au context while still staying true to their characters!! 10/10 I'm obsessed
do you have any references for how you imaging their magi outfits bc I rlly wanna draw some
thank you!!! I love these fucked up girls so much it is so important to me how dumb and teenaged they all are and I'm so so glad you enjoyed.
as for designs, this might get long so I'm putting it under a cut.
QUACKITY wanted to look like an adult, and had a 13-14 year old's idea of what that meant. Her puella magi outfit is a very short blue minidress, possibly with some sort of jacket covering her shoulders but still way more revealing than you'd hope considering how young she was when she designed it. After she moves out of Georgie's house she cuts off her hair and switches to something that looks more like the Las Nevadas skin.
WIL, in the puella magi AU, is not obsessed with Hamilton; that's a motif for a different sort of story. Instead, she is obsessed with Sailor Moon. She's dressed like a sailor senshi, with accents in navy blue and maroon like the L'manberg uniform.
PHIL, unlike canon Philza, is not going around in Kisuke Urahara cosplay. This is shoujo we're commenting on. Her puella magi outfit is a palette swap of Utena Tenjou. Motifs include coffins and water; when she was younger they included roses.
DREAM looks like she came out of a superhero movie. The overall vibe is that she thinks she looks incredibly badass and has not given a whit of thought to how any of this would actually work if it was real clothes and not a construct. There's a lot of black leather involved; it is only due to magic that despite living in Florida she isn't constantly overheating.
SOPHIE has not given any of this very much thought. She wears mostly black and white and it looks kinda like a sports uniform?
KARLA is into eyesore colors. Nothing else about the outfit is as important as the fact that it looks like a small child got into Stuart Semple's pigments. She's also into OTGW and broadly looks like a slightly quaint cartoon character.
GEORGIE is wearing something that doesn't look like a hero out of any genre but is incredibly pretty. It's probably more like a frothy lolita dress than a disney princess gown but that's the spectrum we're on.
CLEMENTINE looks like a teenage cartoon hero. Red dress, broadsword. She's not that complicated.
SCHLATT in her everyday life dresses like a high-powered businesswoman (she runs an MLM). However, she contracted when she was a teenager, and badly misunderstood the point of Wonder Woman. Her heels are high enough that if she were wearing real clothes and not a magical construct she would constantly be breaking her ankles.
Now, for people who have not appeared in the series yet but are so so dear to me:
TECHNOBLADE is a lifelong member of the Society for Creative Anachronism, and her puella magi gear is extremely realistic medieval armor; she has registered heraldry the details of which I can provide if you want them. She also has a sword and it is not her magic weapon, she just actually has a sword and knows how to use it the regular way.
RANBOO has Waardenburg syndrome; their hair looks like they got an emo split dye but actually it just grows like that. She has one brown and one green eye and coordinates her hearing aids to match. Xir magical girl outfit is black-and-white split down the middle, approximately the same shape on both sides but it looks like you stitched together the left half of one dress and the right half of a completely different one.
MINA, aka Ghostbur, is not a magical girl. She mostly doesn't wear Wil's clothes; she's not that into anime.

10 fandoms, 10 characters, 10 tags
Finally, a tag game I'm going to absolutely ace, pun intended!!
tagged by: @queerofthedagger (and I think @schitthappens, a while ago)
rules: List ten of your fandoms and your favorite character from each!
BBC Merlin — Merlin
Schitt's Creek — Alexis Rose
The Locked Tomb Series — Palamedes Sextus
Star Trek — Spock
House MD — James Wilson
Star Wars — Obi-Wan Kenobi
Mob Psycho 100 — Mob
The Sandman — Dream of the Endless
Leverage — Eliot Spencer
ATLA — Toph Beifong
tagging: @unconventionalcat @st4rm41d @blackandwhiteandrose @vanillahigh00 @januarium @paintedpigeon1 @zaharya @schweetheart @thewildmother @sspaz1000 (do my SC friends even have 10 fandoms? time to find out :P)
More yelling about my choices under the cut, which isn't required but I'm psychologically compelled to do it:
Merlin — I almost put Gwaine, but the thing about Merlin is... he's so kind despite his loneliness. He's so brave despite his grief. And his devotion to Arthur is beautiful, even when it's also heartbreaking. I love how much he cries, but also how much he cries and kicks ass anyway, which is something fic writers seem to miss a lot of the time. He's emotional but he's also very capable.
Alexis — haha, surprise!!! I love D/P as a ship so goddamn much, but Alexis' character growth is fucking unparalleled. Annie Murphy's acting choices are phenomenal — just watch KCFH to see how much of Alexis' persona was carefully manufactured as character-building, not Annie's actual mannerisms. And to go from a vapid socialite to a boss-ass businesswoman who is nonetheless very fashion-forward and still, at times, incredibly silly? I love that. I love her. More women like her on TV, please.
Palamedes — Another hard choice between him and Gideon, but my brain is locked in Sixth House mode right now. I relate way too much to Pal, and I also love him. A certified nerd who's deeply compassionate. His deep love for Camilla and his protectiveness over her, which is kind of hilarious considering his noodle arms and her terrifying competence. The fact that he looked at the Ninth House and decided they were friend material, when they didn't know it themselves and were actively hostile to the entire idea. He worked out the secret to Lyctorhood before anybody else did, and decided it just wasn't for him, thanks? Because he didn't want to do that to Cam? And (spoilers for later books!!!!) the way he's so fucking badass that he and Cam worked out another way that even Jod hadn't figured out??? Goddamn. Just call me Archivist Juno Zeta, because that nerd boy is my SON.
Spock — TOS most specifically. I hardly need to explain my love for maybe THE most iconic Star Trek character of all time, but I will anyway. Autistic and gay icon, hilarious dry wit, shining devotion to his captain. (If you're noticing a pattern with my favorite characters, no you aren't.) Science-y boy who doesn't fit in anywhere, but has people who love him. Also I love his banter with Bones.
Wilson — He's a bit like Aziraphale, where he's just enough of a bastard to be worth knowing. His relationship with House is so fucked up but at the same time he's a doormat to everybody and House lets him be MEAN and that's actually really important? Ppl look at their relationship on the surface and don't get it because they think Wilson is so kind and sweet and he is but he's also kind of a dick. Idk I just contracted COVID so I'm suspecting the rest of this post is going to start making less and less sense.
Obi-Wan Kenobi — I'm a sucker for characters like him. Kind and compassionate and selfless, but also hilariously sarcastic sometimes. Licherally the perfect Jedi, and loves Anakin so much but couldn't be everything he needed in the end. I blame the war tbh. I also love reading books from his perspective because releasing your feelings into the Force is some excellent mindfulness shit that we could all use some more practice in.
Mob — Mob is awesome because he's already the most powerful psychic. Like, that's never a question. The question is what will trigger him using his powers, what emotions he's feeling, and his own moral questions about obliterating other people with his super-powerful psychic abilities. And I think that's awesome! He's a lot like Merlin, really. Compassionate and really doesn't want to wipe the floor with you, but he will if he's forced into it.
Dream — hehe he's just so angsty all the time and I love that. Plus, galaxy eyes. I read the comics a looooong time ago, but I just bought one of the new collections and I'm gonna re-read them all.
Eliot — Okay Eliot is just. He's so. His thing about "I only use violence as an appropriate response" followed by immediately decking Sterling kinda sums him up. I love that he's so grumpy and "hostile" to the team but it's literally all bark and no bite because physically he would never, ever hurt them. But he will absolutely show up and beat the shit out of anyone else threatening them. Tiny angry man with fabulous hair. My beloved.
Toph — Yeeaaaaaaaaaaaa! I don't really need to explain why Toph rocks, but I love that she's a tiny feral gremlin girl. Like, a VERY angry ten-year-old who's out here inventing forms of earthbending that have never been seen before. She rocks, pun intended. And I refuse to believe she would become a cop. That chaos demon of a girl??? Nooooo
