THREE YEARS SINCE NOV 5TH, 2020 as summed up by Supernatural (sequel to this and this)

image ID & context below:

[image ID: screenshots of Supernatural paired with screenshots of various tweets, news headlines and Tumblr posts.

A screenshot of Ed and Harry in SPN 3x13 Ghostfacers saying "You gotta be gay for that poor dead intern" with a screenshot of Misha Collins at the SPNNJ 2023 convention saying "I got a call from Warner Bros and they were like hey uh...is there any world you just let it go?" This is in reference to an incident in 2022 where Misha accidentally made headlines after a comment that seemed to be referring to his sexuality. His comments at this year's panel imply that the studio in fact did not want him to retract the comment and make the apology that he posted, but to instead just roll with it.

A screenshot of Bobby saying "Time travel?" and Dean saying "Yeah" in SPN 6x18 with a headline that says "Jensen Ackles' Explains The Winchester's Multiverse Twist & Supernatural Connection." This is about the series finale of Jensen's Supernatural spinoff "The Winchesters", in which it is revealed Dean and the Impala somehow traveled the multiverse to the alternate timeline the show takes place in.

A screenshot of Dean in SPN 15x08 saying "He's back, and he's out of control" with a screenshot of Misha Collin's first Tumblr post in seven years, a video with him and his brother being a public nuisance on public transportation. Also included are screenshots of various Tumblr users reacting with tags from various tumblr users. becauseofthebowties: "mishacollinsofficial tumblr account back from the dead???" myboobsarentsentientbeings: "this is the first thing he posts? after nearly 7 years???" casismybestfriend: "RED FUCKING ALERT MISHA IS BACK ON TUMBLR" cannabiscasgate: "who the fuck gave you back your password"

A screenshot of two news anchors in SPN 14x20, with one (named Jack) telling his co-host "I love you" and her replying "Jack?" with screenshots of the Destiel/Supernatural Confession meme trending multiple times this year with other current events topics like Russia, Titanic, etc. There is also a screenshot of a post by saintedcastiel that says "I cannot believe that since we started using the destiel meme as a breaking news alert that there hasn't been ONE destiel news anchor AU fic where they're co-anchors on the morning news. cas confessed on accident while they're on air and dean doesn't know how to respond so he just reads the next thing on the teleprompter."

A screenshot of Dean in SPN 5x14 as Cupid says "I-I was just following orders" with a screenshot of an anonymous Tumblr ask to user luxshine. The ask says "Hey! I was wondering if you have any updates on the LATAM dub situation and if you were/will able to contact the dub director". luxshine says "Hi! Well I could get the translator (you know, our dear rogue translator) and he told me that while he doesn't remember it completely (because he translates a lot of series) if Dean said "And I you" it's because the script he got said "And" I you" and the video he saw said "And I you" because he doesn't add stuff." This is in reference to a change in Spanish LATAM dub of Castiel's confession SPN 15x18, which added a line where Dean reciprocates, which was previously suspected to be a change added by the LATAM dubbing director or translator

A screenshot of a detective from SPN 8x08 saying, "[Chuckles] Whatever you say Scully" with a screenshot of the tumble blr blog ao3topshipsbracket's poll "AO3 Top Relationships Bracket - Round 2 Side 1" with Fox Mulder/Dana Scully (The X-Files) vs. Castiel/Dean Winchester (Supernatural.) In the final results from 51,514 votes, Mulder/Scully won by 53% and Castiel/Dean won by 47%. In early 2023, Tumblr added a polls feature which has led to numerous content, debates, and bracket polls similar to this.

A screenshot from SPN 11x15 where Dean says "No money, no glory" with a headline that says "Supernatural creator Eric Kripke gets 'zero' residuals from Netflix"

A screenshot of Dean rising from his grave in SPN 4x01 with a screenshot of a post from the official CW Supernatural Instagram with a clip from the pilot episode and the caption "And the story continues..." and a comment from a user that says "THE STORY CONTINUES?? WTF ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL US?? I HAVE ANXIETY YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME." For context, no one is sure if the post was supposed to reference new content from Supernatural or not but it has led to speculation.

A screenshot of SPN 8x01, with the onscreen lyric "Another year has passed me by."

so like are we done with the idea that james is a victim of the internet harassment mob or whatever you guys like to call it when in reality no one like forced him to be part of the public eye again. he had multiple times to disengage but he threw himself head first into the spotlight with some half assed apology where he used his dead mom, illiterate dad, and like 293 mental illnesses that he was in the right to do a widdle plagiarism but it’s not his fault! it’s everyone else’s fault for not being nice to him about it!!! how dare these people bring these issues to the public not thinking how james would feel about it! like ppl are forgetting there was notable period of time james went off air entirely. and every time he’s jumped back it’s always attempts to paint himself as the victim.

like be real for a second if anyone was weaponizing the internet harassment machine it was james somerton. he knew what he was doing when he posted that note. he knew the shit his victims would get for having the crime of (checks notes) voicing out their issues with him. he knew there’s people out there who are foaming at their mouths to use anything they can get their hands on as a “gotcha!” at hbomberguy (right wing people yes, but don’t act like it’s just them i’ve seen plenty of lefties trying to prove they’re superior to harry). they don’t give a shit about james, not really. he’s the dude who hbomb did a “hit piece” (yes that’s a term i’ve seen people use) and that’s what matters.

not to mention the writing that’s also very clearly targeting nick who’s basically cut ties with him at this point. james pushed all the burden on nick by saying it’s their fault, actually. he’s one of the co-writers and everything going to shit was nick’s fault when they had the audacity to move. james is faultless! with james still trying to monetize stolen content on the blatant lie that he’s doing this for nick’s sake as a portfolio. acting as if nick isn’t an sentient human being who could upload their own content, as if nick would even want to be associated with james at this point. this isn’t a teenager being harassed for an honest mistake, this is a 35-year old con artist who’s stolen hundreds of thousands and peddled the most vile shit as actual history but realized he was in deep shit and weaponizes very serious mental health issues as a “i’m just a poor little gay baby!! my alter ego did it!!!”

for the record if you’re among the people who tried to wash down james’ crimes as “he just did plagiarism!! it wasn’t that bad of a crime!” fuck you, man. i’m not kidding.

the fact i’ve witnessed people whitewash his acts of racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, antisemitism and misogyny (in fact i’m probably still missing a few things here), and say he’s being harassed by the internet just because he stole articles makes it so clear they have no fucking idea what they’re talking about. his shit isn’t fucking erased just bc he realized that he has to handle the consequences. he’s grasping at anything he can at this point to make sure that even if he’s not coming back, he’s sure as hell trying to take anyone he fucking can down with him.

he doesn’t get a second chance to be a content creator at this point. he doesn’t get to show himself to do better. he needs to fucking leave. and if he tries to publicly make himself the victim then he better know that he’s going to get public backlash.

if anything situation proves to me that he can never be trusted with a public platform ever again because he will immediately guilt people into feeling sorry for him.

#i’m going to be bitchy about this for the record #james somerton #hbomberguy #the funniest option is if james fakes his death like a fourth time and someone takes a pic of him in like a burger king or something.#updated i’m not 100% sure on nicks pronouns but i’m using they them just in case #update 2: the way i was proven fucking right immediately after posting this. you people are not real.

Both Nick (James’s co-writer) and Kat (Harry’s producer) seem to have confirmed James is fine.

Now, I get a lot of people are pissed that James seems to have used suicide threats against the people trying to hold him to account for the second time. But tbh I don’t see the point of rage anymore.

This whole thing has become ridiculously distorted. Some people have decided Harry is responsible for everything that happens to James, despite their attempts to stop him from doing more damage.

Some people have fully rewritten history and now everything James has done is small beans compared to Harry repeatedly telling people not to harass James and them doing so anyway.

The only thing that matters now is that James does not do this again. It’s going to be tough, but he will have to accept his content creator career has been irreparably damaged and he will need to find work outside the spotlight. As for this drama, I think all the wrong lessons will be learned. This will teach a lot of people healthy online accountability is impossible. Even if you try to hold people to account rigorously and fairly, people will still jump to harassment and then claim that was the plan the whole time. People that genuinely want to hold people accountable will keep silent for fear of people starting harassment campaigns and then blaming them. And a lot of cynical ghouls will see this and salivate at the drama clicks they might get from replicating this.

The internet is irredeemably mired in cruelty and grifters and any attempt to right a wrong can result in people abusing the situation to settle old scores or just to get off on cruelty.

Well done, everyone. We wasted another opportunity for growth and learning.

Hello friends! I, along with my co-mod, timothysboxers, are thrilled to announce that 25 Days of Draco and Harry will run again in 2023. We want to thank @navi1088 for creating this art for our banner.

For those who may not be familiar with this challenge, I have included the rules at the end of this post, and I encourage you to read these.

And for the loyal fans of 25 Days of Harry and Draco: In 2023, we will be doing both Early-bird and Traditional prompts as usual. Again, we're running on LJ, DW and tumblr – the rules will be the same as last year.

Because it seemed to work out quite well last year, the Early-bird Prompts will once again be available in late October, and we will be including the Image Descriptions along with the prompts.

Early bird prompts will be available no later than Sunday, 22 October, allowing creators over 5 weeks and some change to work on their posts.

Also, we will have the Discord server specifically for 25 Days of Draco and Harry participants. Like last year, this will be a place where early bird participants can discuss (in a channel just for them) the prompts and how they might use them. Traditional participants will join the general section of the server in December.

The 2023 rules at a glance, for those familiar with the concept:

25 Days of Draco and Harry 2023 - Traditional

No changes from prior years. A photo prompt is posted starting at midnight EST 1 December, and you create a work based on that prompt and post before the next day's prompt goes up.

Each of your posts can be part of a larger work or they can stand alone.

25 Days of Draco and Harry 2023 - Early Bird

You receive access to all 25 photo prompts no later than midnight (EST) Sunday, 22 October. This is the same time frame as last year. Hopefully this will give you time to prepare and create for 25 Days before the insanity of December starts.

You will post one work per day for each prompt. This can be a stand-alone story or each day can be a part of a bigger story. We may even get a pod-fic this year of a past 25 Days fic and that would be posted a chapter a day. ♥

The advantages are this:

1) you can use the picture prompts in any order you chose

2) you can start creating early and have many of your posts ready to go before December 1st.

3) you get the prompts all at once so you can pre-plan your story or your use of each day's prompt.

The basic rules of 25 Days of Draco and Harry – Traditional Edition:

The challenge is to write a drabble, ficlet, story (whatever) for the pictures posted each day from 1 Dec to 25 Dec. Your fic for each prompt must be a minimum of 100 words – but there is no maximum. They can be twenty-five one-shots or each one can be a part of a bigger story. Pictures will be posted at midnight EST and you have until the next midnight to complete your work.

Yes, you may combine this with other communities or tumblr prompts.

Your fic does not have to be a story of the picture – you can use a part of the picture or whatever that picture says to you. We're pretty flexible around here.

Traditional Prompts must be used in their posted order. If you fall behind, you can post more than once a day to get caught up. You're also welcome to post as life allows, meaning you don't have to worry about being on time. You can also combine a few days or prompts into one fic/ficlet/drabble/etc. But the true challenge is to post every day for 25 days within the 24-hour time frame.

You do not need to sign-up for the Traditional edition, the prompts will be made available beginning 1 December at midnight EST.

While you're not required to, you are encouraged to add your story to the AO3 collection by adding "25 Days of Draco and Harry 2022" to your submissions, under collections, when you post them to your own AO3 account. A link to the collection will be provided in the official rules post after it has been created.

The basic rules of 25 Days of Draco and Harry – Early-bird Edition:

The sign-up period for Early Bird participants will be from 15 October to 20 October 2023 via AirTable.

After signups close you will be given access to the 25 picture prompts no later than Sunday, 23 October. You may use these prompts in any order you choose – but each prompt may only be used once. The challenge remains to post a daily work from 1 Dec to 25 Dec using one of the provided prompts. Each should be posted between 12 midnight (EST) and 11:59 PM (EST) the next night. For written works, the minimum word count is 100.

FOR BOTH EARLY BIRD AND TRADITIONAL. IF YOU ARE POSTING INDIVIDUAL STORIES FOR THE 25 PROMPTS, PLEASE CHECK "THIS WORK IS PART OF A SERIES". THIS WILL PUT ALL 25 STORIES TOGETHER UNDER ONE HEADER, RATHER THAN 25 INDIVIDUAL POSTS (which can be difficult to find).

IF YOU ARE POSTING ONE BIG STORY, PLEASE CHECK "THIS WORK HAS MULTIPLE CHAPTERS". AGAIN, FOR THE REASON LISTED ABOVE.

The early bird prompts and the traditional prompts do vary. Some may be used on both but mostly they are two distinct sets of prompts.

If you have any questions, please email the 25 days mod account at [email protected] or DM one of the mods if you're on the Drarry Discord server.

TV Guide - December 28, 1963 - January 3, 1964

Anna Marie “Patty” Duke (December 14, 1946 – March 29, 2016) Actress of stage, film and television. She first became famous as a tween star, winning an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress at age 16 for her role in The Miracle Worker, which she had originated on Broadway. She later starred in the sitcom, The Patty Duke Show. She progressed to more mature roles upon playing Neely O'Hara in the 1967 film Valley of the Dolls. She served as the president of the Screen Actors Guild from 1985 to 1988, four years after her Patty Duke Show co-star William Schallert held the same office

In 1982, Duke was cast alongside Richard Crenna in the ABC sitcom It Takes Two, from Soap and Benson creator Susan Harris. The socially topical series depicted both Duke’s and Crenna’s characters as a modern career couple (hers was a lawyer, his a surgeon) and the moral and personal challenges that abounded from their professions. Helen Hunt and Anthony Edwards played their teenaged offspring. Although It Takes Two was praised, ABC cancelled the series after one season due to low ratings.

Duke would subsequently work with Susan Harris on a new ABC series, Hail To The Chief, which premiered in April 1985. She appeared as the first female President of the United States in the ensemble, all-star series (the cast featured Dick Shawn, Herschel Bernardi, Glynn Turman and Ted Bessell as Duke’s husband, among others) and the material was topical yet off-the-wall, much in the fashion of Soap, like which it was partially serialized. Hail To The Chief was less successful than the star’s and producer’s previous joint effort of It Takes Two and was cancelled after seven episodes. In 1987, Duke returned to series television in another short-lived comedy, Karen’s Song, which aired on the fledgling Fox network. (Wikipedia)

JK Rowling is a rich woman – but if she had a penny for every cancellation attempt levelled at her, she’d be an even richer one. A Comic Con in Newham had planned to host a panel from the West End play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, but cancelled the event after complaints from LGBT+ organisation Switchboard.

For some trans activists, Rowling doesn’t even have to be in the vicinity to cause emotional distress. In fact, it seems the very presence of she-who-must-not-be-named’s “intellectual property” was enough to make Switchboard concerned about “the potential impact on our community, particularly trans individuals”. MCM Comic Con announced that it had cancelled the panel, despite describing the event as an opportunity “to hear from the production team working behind the scenes”. So potent is Rowling’s power to offend, that even stage managers working on adaptations of her work are too tainted for trans activists.

But what MCM Comic Con and other similarly spineless organisations fail to recognise, is that public support is firmly behind the Potter creator. A recent poll of readers conducted by Amazon found that Rowling’s first novel – Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone – had one of the top five greatest opening lines of all time. It’s no secret that the Potter books are the best-selling fantasy series, having sold over 500 million worldwide and published in over 85 languages. Harry Potter is the The Little Prince of my generation – Rowling’s imagination continues to be an entry point for many young book lovers.

In fact, it’s worth asking whether Switchboard and others are genuine when they claim that simply being near anything related to Rowling might be harmful to their “community”. What happens when a co-worker turns up with a Hogwarts mug? Should copies of The Goblet of Fire be banned from the tube, lest “trans individuals” feel unsafe? Halloween is round the corner – how will these individuals fare on streets filled with wands, wizard hats and toddlers with fake scars on their foreheads?

Most of us know the truth – that there are very few trans individuals who feel threatened by Rowling or her work, or indeed agree with the characterisation of Rowling as a transphobic bigot. The author has responded to this emotive, heated debate with respect and calmness. It is wholly unfair for Potter brats like Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, or organisations like Switchboard, to seek to condemn Rowling in the name of the trans community.

JK Rowling is the woman who can't be cancelled

9-1-1: Lone Star: First Look Photos of Grace and Her Sisters Feature a McClain Family Reunion (Exclusive)

When 9-1-1: Lone Star co-creator and showrunner Tim Minear approached actress Sierra McClain about an upcoming episode that would expand the immediate family of Grace Ryder, they both had a clear idea of who should play her character's sisters: her real-life sisters, Lauryn and China Anne McClain.

"Having my sisters come to Lone Star was something I'd wanted to do for a while," Sierra told TV Guide in an exclusive first look at the chapter airing April 18. "Then, during one of me and Tim's beginning-of-the-season chats, he pulled the idea right out of my mouth! I certainly didn't think it would happen as soon as it did, but before I knew it, he was sharing storyline possibilities with me. I've lived with Grace for four years now, so being able to introduce this aspect of her family life that's so similar to mine, in such a personal way, really helps make Grace even more real to me."

In next week's episode, titled "Open," Grace struggles with confronting her father, Benjamin (William Allen Young), over his past infidelity. But while babysitting Charlie one day with his wife, Denice (Barbara Eve Harris), Benjamin suffers a heart attack, forcing Grace and her sisters, Lisa (China Anne) and Ashley (Lauryn), to come together in his hour of need.

As viewers might recall from the "Difficult Conversations" episode of the second season, Grace's husband, Judd (Jim Parrack), found his father-in-law suffering from hypoglycemic shock while "fooling around" with another woman — who was most definitely not his mother-in-law — in a hotel room. While Judd struggled with whether or not to tell his wife, Grace learned of her father's actions by the end of the hour. But she decided against telling her mother, and the storyline has been a loose end on the show for years — until now.

The episode will reunite the tight-knit McClain sisters, who form the girl group Thriii, for the first time on-screen since working together briefly in China Anne's Disney Channel musical sitcom A.N.T. Farm, which ran from 2011 to 2014. They made their acting debut alongside each other in Rob Hardy's The Gospel (2005), which starred Boris Kodjoe and Idris Elba, and played Elba's daughters in Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls (2007).

"This is the first time I've gotten to do some real acting with my sisters in years," Sierra noted, "and the fact that we're playing actual sisters is just the icing on an incredibly special cake."

Just a quick check, as I got your blog as the "similar to a blog you follow" on a HP blog; what's your views on Harry Potter currently? I searched your blog and found posts from 2020 about the series, but also ones about how Rowling sucks, and obviously the flag in your pfp is a bit of a give-away, but I'd like to be kind of sure. Sorry to bother.

hi! when i started this blog, back in the Obama administration, i was in high school, and i was a teenage openly trans fan of harry potter. these were the days before she was an open, raving transmisogynist spending all her money on furthering the terf agenda (or at least, not publicly). obviously we knew that there were other problems with the series, and we were, as fans often are, very critical of the source material; to me and Jamie (the other co-runner of this blog) that's actually an integral part of what fandom means. we'd even by then heard the rumours that she was a terf, but ultimately we found that unsurprising; we were both trans, it was like 2015, we were under no impression that most of the creators of the things we liked were transphobic. most people are transphobic; even now, when in american liberal culture where it is "in" to say you are not transphobic, i guarantee you most people creating our favorite fandoms are transphobic (i mean, it's not like there's a wealth of transgender superheroes, anime protags, videogame characters, etc. is it?) whether they realise it or not. this didn't trouble us because she wasn't, at the time, publicly using her platform to give this value a voice, and harry potter was just a Thing Everybody Was Into -- like doctor who, or your favorite sport, or halo or whatever.

anyway, as time progressed, the blog's followership grew and eventually i was relying on money i earn from my part writing on here, so it wasn't an option to just quit immediately when she went mask full off. and again -- we were two british trans people, we were being very loud and open about our upset and dismay over her bullshit, and by this point, had a following of over 100,000, so it just felt more productive to keep that internal critical fandom perspective & help others see why they shouldn't give her any monetary support.

we changed to a more general fandom blog theme during lockdown, when i could focus on streaming more & earn a bit from that, so it wasn't as scary to suddenly have thousands of people decide they didn't want to give me money any more because i no longer was comfortable being associated with her legacy.

ultimately, i feel proud for staying as an openly critical voice in the fandom for as long as i did -- multiple people have come to me since and told me they think the only reason harry potter isn't a notable fandom on this website any more is because we spent so much time warning people away & convincing people to abandon the fandom when we eventually left for good.

i straight up spent the last couple years saying "i fucking hate us making harry potter posts but you guys show up and reblog them & that gives me spon money through humble bundle and a tranny gotta eat"

tbh, i don't even really think that "being a fan" of something was endorsement of the work or creator at all until it became so indistinguishable from being a consumerist identity (rather than a subcultural one) which i feel like is pretty recently, and honestly, Harry Potter & the YA tidal wave in its wake are probably a pretty big part in that, but that's kind of a different discussion.

LEGO Almost Went Bankrupt. These Heroes Saved Our Bricks.

How a brain tumor inspired Bionicle, one of the most popular toys of a generation.

BY DAVID LUMB PUBLISHED: JUN 21, 2020

In 2003, LEGO seemed to be riding high after shrewd licensing deals brought Star Wars and Harry Potter sets to the masses. But unbeknownst to many—even those inside the company—sales were plummeting, and there were only guesses as to why.

Some blamed poor strategic choices in the 1990s—Legoland theme parks, forays into digital products—for LEGO’s hemorrhaging. All that misguided development time slashed profitability, and even Star Wars and Harry Potter sales shriveled between movie releases. It’s hard to conceive of now, but at the turn of the millennium, beloved LEGO might have been headed toward a pitiful end.

During this fallow period, one product line stood apart with startling, consistent success: Bionicle, a series of buildable action figures backed by rich worldbuilding and cross-platform promotion. Inspired by co-creator Christian Faber’s battle with a tumor at the base of his brain, the toy warriors of Bionicle wouldn’t just conquer their fictional enemies. They’d pioneer innovations that would transform LEGO and rescue the company from possible doom.

Today, Christian Faber looks a bit like a Danish Paul McCartney. His youthful smile pairs well with his genial nature, which one might mistake for meekness until he starts talking about his creative projects. The 54-year-old embodies the unchecked enthusiasm you’d expect from a 28-year veteran of LEGO projects. If Faber’s long-time illness dimmed his appetite for play, you wouldn’t know it.

In 1986, Faber began working for Advance, a Copenhagen- based marketing firm that partners with LEGO. But shortly after his career began, Faber’s vision began to falter. A doctor found a benign tumor inside Faber’s pituitary gland that was impeding his sight, a condition called prolactinoma. Doctors said the tumor was maybe in the least accessible spot in the body for surgery, so they prescribed Faber daily medication to keep the tumor from growing. Among the drugs’ side effects, however, were severe nausea and dehydration, effectively sidelining Faber from social activities.

“It was the strangest mix of feelings,” Faber says. “I was happy at the job, but faced the physical and mental strain of the medicine and a long-term illness.”

Faber’s side effects attacked him hardest in the mornings, so he found most of his energy for work at night. Early in his career, Faber designed brochures for LEGO toy lines. Exposure to the different products, including the undersea-based Aquazone and the sophisticated Technic series, gave him experience with LEGO’s standards and practices—a moving target in the mid- 90s, when the rise of computers and video games pressured LEGO to move from their traditional years-long R&D cycle toward what Faber calls ‘craze products,’ toys tuned to current market tastes with a planned one-year shelf life.

The craze-products movement was rife with experimentation for LEGO, and it materialized soon after a medical breakthrough for Faber. After 10 years of daily medication, Faber’s physicians moved him on to a new treatment which, in Faber’s own words, gave him his life back. The new treatment was a regular injection scheduled just once every two weeks, allowing Faber to engage with the world relatively free from side effects. He could chase higher ambitions than brochures, and he had an idea for a new kind of LEGO toy: a sort of Bionicle precursor called Cybots.

“I was sitting with LEGO Technic and thought I would love to build a character instead of a car,” Faber says. “I thought of this biological thing: The human body is built from small parts into a functional body just like a model. What if you got a box full of spare parts and built a living thing?”

With his assistant graphic designer Jan Kjær, Faber pitched Cybots, a line of humanoid action figures with attachable limbs and ball-and-socket joints. LEGO didn’t furbish Cybots, but they would implement Faber’s concepts in craze products like Throwbots in 1999 and RoboRiders in 2000. By 2001, LEGO was testing a line called Bone Heads of Voodoo Island—masked robots with heads that could shoot off their bodies like Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots. Most of Bionicle’s look had been seeded: masks, buildable bodies, articulate limbs.

Bone Heads of Voodoo Island was a bust—focus groups demonstrated kids didn’t respond well to detachable heads—so that same year, LEGO pivoted to focus on Bionicle. The plan was to take a more holistic design approach with these new toys than with craze products, but LEGO extended that comprehensiveness to the worldbuilding around the toys, too, a new strategy for the company. Faber and LEGO design manager Martin Riber Andersen were joined by former BBC film and TV executive Bob Thompson and writer Alastair Swinnerton to refine the Voodoo Island concept and pitch a new story. Faber, fresh from working on Star Wars LEGO sets, imagined something massive.

“After being on Star Wars, I was thinking that the only thing to do from here is our own stuff, but it should be as big as Star Wars,” Faber says. “It should be a big, full universe.”

For the storyline, Faber drew on his experience with prolactinoma. To him, his every-other-week injections seemed like sending in a new wave of protectors to battle his tumor with every dose. Faber imagined this group of disease-fighters arriving on an unknown beach with no memory. The story of these warriors would be called Bionicle, a portmanteau of ‘biological chronicle.’

Courtesy The LEGO Group/Christian Faber

“We took an episodic story line but chose not to play it out in any single medium,” Thompson told Kidscreen in 2003. “We would take that story and scatter it like a paper trail through different types of media.”

Bionicle’s in-world story evolved through comics and chapter books, written in large part by Greg Farshtey of LEGO’s promotional periodical LEGO MANIA Magazine (also known as LEGO Club Magazine, but now called LEGO Life Magazine). Farshtey followed Bionicle’s story bible from the original team, but as he began accounting for character changes correlating with new toy sets, he added his own takes. By the end of Bionicle’s run in 2010, he had interwoven the story with three feature films and shepherded the comic series that, at its peak, reached almost 2 million readers per month, making it the most widely circulated monthly comic on the planet.

Courtesy Andre Hurley/The Bionicle Archives

By all accounts, Bionicle was the hit LEGO needed. In 2001, its first year on the market, the line brought in over $160 million in sales, it was declared “Most Innovative Toy of the Year” by the Toy Association.

"Flat sales and profit decline made LEGO believe the brick was passé and it needed to move to digital and virtual toys to remain relevant,” David Robertson, author of LEGO history book Brick by Brick, told Popular Mechanics. “But as Bionicle became a success, LEGO learned the difference between sufficient and necessary. It wasn't sufficient to just offer customers another box of bricks, but it was necessary. If a LEGO toy didn't have interlocking plastic pieces, consumers didn't want it. But to succeed and grow, it was necessary to embed a story in that box of pieces and tell that story through comics, books, video games, movies, and events at the LEGO Stores."

In other words, Bionicle had all the ingredients of a fun LEGO toy, but Faber’s inspiration was key to making it a smash. “[My condition] had a direct effect on my career, and especially on the creation of Bionicle,” he says, ticking off the allegories. “A biological robot attacked by ‘illness,’ waiting for the right ‘medicine’ to arrive. Even the canisters the Toa warriors arrived in resembled the medicine capsules I had to eat every day.”

Bionicle hit its stride just as LEGO’s financials were bottoming out. While LEGO flirted with bankruptcy in 2003, Bionicle accounted for 25 percent of the company’s total revenue and 100 percent of its profits. As LEGO slashed its workforce, reduced the number of pieces it produced, and increased its range of licensing deals, Bionicle continued to diversify. Partnerships spawned. There were Bionicle-branded Nike shoes, McDonald’s Happy Meal toys, even Colgate toothbrushes. The cross-promotion paid off: By the end of Bionicle’s initial run in 2010, it sold over 190 million toys.

All the newness shook up LEGO’s tried-and-true project structure. Bionicle’s multifaceted development process blended design, marketing and engineering teams to hash out new sets, ingest market feedback, receive directives from LEGO executives, and issue their own directives to subsequent narrative and design teams. Under the new dynamic structure, development time for a new toy line at LEGO accelerated from three years to less than one. The rapidity created an exciting energy.

“We broke a lot of new ground experimenting and pushing boundaries,” Bionicle co-founder and design manager Martin Riber Andersen says. “One of the key ethos of the core team was this is a shared collaboration: We stand together. We all believed it was so in contrast to ‘the normal LEGO company’ that we might as well direct our energy to the team instead of our individual career objectives.”

From 2003 to 2005, Bionicle was the reported top-performing LEGO toy line, but after that, sales dipped below expectations. The decline continued to 2009, when LEGO handed down word it was time to end Bionicle. The creators wrapped up the narrative in 2010, but it was hard to let go. Farshtey wrote Bionicle stories on the now-defunct BIONICLEStory.com until 2011, fans dissected the line’s mythology on BZPower forums, and custom Bionicles continued to appear. In 2016, Faber wrote to series fans: “The stories we hear and the stories we tell shape who we are and what we do ... through almost 30 years [of my career in storytelling], no story has proved this stronger than Bionicle. The fans were, are, and will be the true heroes of this ... great adventure.”

These days, you still see Bionicle at toy conventions, and the r/bioniclelego subreddit is alive and well. In fact, the front page of Reddit was graced in November 2019 with an essential, timeless question: “What is the appropriate amount of time to wait before showing your new significant other your Bionicle collection?”

The toys’ invigorating combination of articulate LEGO figures and intricate, multimedia story resonated with the LEGO company as well as fans. The brickmakers use the business strategy they honed on Bionicle with lines like Ninjago today, to great success.

"It's hard to overstate how important the Bionicle line was for LEGO,” Brick by Brick author Robertson notes. “Without the sales and profits of Bionicle in 2003 and 2004, the company would not have survived. Bionicle taught LEGO that success depended on the ability to hook kids on characters and story, and LEGO was smart enough to spread those practices throughout the company."

Courtesy Andre Hurley/The Bionicle Archives

After Bionicle, Swinnerton moved on to write children’s books and TV scripts, Andersen took on a senior position

at a European consulting agency, and Thompson founded a media production and consultancy firm. Farshtey, meanwhile, still edits LEGO’s free fan magazine. All cite Bionicle as high points in their careers.

“We should all be proud of what we achieved individually,” Thompson says. “But in my view, more important is what we did collaboratively. After all, LEGO fans are still talking about what we did with Bionicle—after two decades.”

Faber moved on from his design job at Advance in 2014 after 28 years working on LEGO. His medical journey continues to inspire his creative work, including a post-apocalyptic world he’s designing filled with adventure, danger, and a pro- environmental bent. Looking back, Faber sees the impact his illness and treatment had on the stories and projects he’s touched. Almost 20 years after co-creating the action figures that sustained LEGO through one of the darkest times in its history, talking about Bionicle still makes him reflective.

“Biology is a balance more than a battle between good and bad,” he says. “Ever since Bionicle, balance has been my goal in the stories and pictures I create.”

A Valentine For One {Marcus Pike x F!Reader}

Rating: Explicit

Word Count: 5.4k

Warnings: Toys, lingerie, fingering, vaginal sex, clitoral stimulation, unprotected sex, feelings

Comments: Your roommate is supposed to be working late for Valentine's Day. Leaving you alone to play with yourself thinking about your crush on him. Until he comes home early and interrupts.

Click Keep Reading only if you have read the Rating and Warnings and understand the warnings may not be complete to avoid listing spoilers. As AO3 says 'creator chooses not to use warnings'. You also agree that you're the right age to be consuming anything here.

“I think I might have to move to a cheaper place.” Marcus admits, staring down at his coffee in the break room, sighing slightly as he takes a sip. Getting to D.C. and settling in had been harried, the offer to become the head of the Art Crimes Division at headquarters had been an honor. Plus, when he had believed that Teresa was coming with him, he had splurged for a larger place, believing that they might even start a family but she had changed her mind and he was left with a townhouse he couldn’t afford forever and it was too big for just one person.

“Why don’t you get a roommate?” Stevenson asks, his own coffee cup in hand and he looks over from the counter at the man who had known him since the days at the academy. It had been a stroke of luck to run into his old friend and he enjoyed having breaks with him. “You know you live in a hot neighborhood. I wouldn’t give up that place for anything. If you put out the word that you will take one on, I bet roommates will be lining up.” “A roommate, huh?” Marcus doesn’t hate the idea, but he doesn’t love it either. His house is his space to unwind and some people are weird about federal agents. “I think I would probably be more comfortable with someone who works in law enforcement.” He admits. “Wouldn’t have to squabble about guns in the house.”

You sigh as you walk into the break room, phone in hand as you absorb another missed out opportunity for an apartment. Nearly every ad you’ve answered has already been taken. The government newbies are snapping them up and you curse your ex boyfriend for owning his house and kicking you out after he cheated on you. You are couch surfing at best right now, struggling to find a room, let alone an apartment. Everything is expensive as hell and you are close to giving up. “Everything okay?” Marcus, your sweet department head Marcus, asks and you shake your head, slumping down in the chair opposite him.

“No. My ex cheats on me, kicks me out, and I’m left struggling to find a place to live.”

“You're looking for a place to live?” Marcus straightens up and stares at you. Unsure why he didn’t know about this, but he doesn’t expect you to pour out your life story to him if you don’t want to. “I-“

“Marcus was just saying that he needed a roommate.” Bryan butts in, shooting his friend a grin and raising his brows. “Some would call that provenance.”

Your eyes widen, “you have a room?” You ask.

Marcus nods, “yeah. It’s a townhouse. Has two en-suites and a third bedroom I use as an office. Was supposed to be for me and my fiancée but that - it didn’t work out. You want it? I need someone to help out with the bills, place ain’t cheap.” He shakes his head and you instantly nod. Marcus is a kind man, a sweetheart, and yet he’s very straight forward. You know he will be a great roommate/landlord and you desperately need somewhere.

“I’ll take it.” You tell him and he chuckles, “I haven’t told you how much it is.”

You shake your head, “I can’t imagine it’s more than what some of these assholes want. I’ll take your room…if you are okay with that?”

He’s theoretically your boss but you work more on the technical side of the department so that it wouldn’t be a problem. He would make sure that it was noted with HR, but he finds himself nodding. “It’s furnished.” He warns you, having bought a second bedroom set for when his parents visited or Teresa’s family came. Not that it mattered now. His parents can get a hotel and it was more important that his team member has a safe place to sleep. “But you can change anything you want. I can put it in storage if you have your own furniture.”

“No. I, uh, shamefully I only have a couple of suitcases. I got rid of my furniture when I moved into my ex’s. Thought it was forever so what was the point of putting a sofa in storage? Anyway, I really appreciate it, Marcus. When can I move in?” You ask, biting your lip. You’ve definitely overstayed where you currently are.

Marcus knows that you do need to talk about rules and bills but he sees the desperation in your eyes. “Tonight’s good with me.” He offers immediately. “Why don’t you bring your stuff over and we can have dinner, talk everything through.” He suggests. “Get a tour of the place. If you don’t like it, you can always stay until you find a place you like better.”

You nod, excited and anxious, but so so happy to have somewhere to live. “That sounds great. Seriously, thank you so much Marcus. I really appreciate this. You, uh, want to text me your address and I’ll come over after work. I’ll bring dinner. Chinese food?” You ask, knowing what he likes from when you’ve done mass orders for the office during those late night cases.

“No problem.” He chuckles and pulls out his phone. “I’ll leave early and make sure that I’ve not left dirty clothes everywhere.” He’s joking. He’s actually pretty neat, a fact that had driven his college roommate crazy but his ex-wife had liked it. “Chinese is fine, unless you want me to cook?”

You shake your head, “no. No. Tonight is on me. I just - thank you so much for this. I really appreciate it.” You say as you stand up, picking up your coffee cup just as your phone dings. “I’ll see you after work. Thank you.” You can’t help it, you walk around the table and place a quick kiss on his cheek before you rush out the door.

Even though it was unprofessional for you to have done that, Marcus flushes and rubs his cheek gently.

“Oh shit, I know that look.” Bryan hoots. “Someones interested.”

“No.” Marcus insists, shaking his head. “She is going to be my roommate.” He huffs, making his friend chuckle and lean back, “if you say so.”

“I say so.” Marcus can only hope that you don’t regret this. Especially because his first thought had been you were so pretty when you lit up with a happy smile.

****

Armed with Chinese food and your cases, you pull up outside the address Marcus gave you. There’s street parking which is amazing and you decide to leave your cases in the car, carrying the take out up the steps to ring the doorbell. You’re nervous but you know Marcus is a good guy, even if he’s handsome and kind and - no. He’s your landlord, your roommate. Nothing more. You gotta stop thinking of him. He’s just a friend.

“Shit.” Marcus had only been slightly joking when he said he would rush home and make sure the house was put to rights. The bed in the second suite hadn’t had sheets on it, and he needed to make sure the towels were put in the other en-suite’s bathroom since he hadn’t had guests yet. Having a roommate would be good for him.

He wipes his hand on his pants before he opens the first door of the townhouse and sees you outside the other doors. The small atrium was perfect for bad weather and he locked them both for extra security. “Hey.” He smiles as he opens the door. “I see you found it okay.”

You nod, “it’s such a nice neighborhood. I love the outside too. Great choice.” You admire the atrium and follow him inside. The wood floors are beautiful and you step into the hallway, carrying the Chinese food. “You - you have a gorgeous home, Marcus. Wow. You sure you wanna share it?” You tease him, turning to find him locking the front door.

“Honestly? I have to.” He admits with a chuckle. “I make good money, but not that good.” He could technically afford it, but it stretched his budget more than he liked. “Besides, it’s way too big for just me. It’s better to give you a place to stay too, right?”

You nod, “I don’t argue your reasons. I’m so happy to have somewhere to call home ever since my damn ex cheated. Really sucks when you put all your eggs in one basket and they fuck you over.” You huff and shake your head, looking down at the box in your hands. “I bought food. Hope you’re hungry.”

“Starving.” He grins and motions you further into the house. “My kitchen is your kitchen.” He tells you playfully as he leads you through the living and dining room. The townhouse has been completely redone, leaving the charm and still modernizing it beautifully. “If you want, I’ve got beer or a bottle of wine. There’s also water or tea if you prefer that.”

“Beer sounds good.” You tell him, knowing you’ll buy some tomorrow. You will need to go over rules and bills but right now, you’re just so happy to have someone for the foreseeable. You set the food down on the counter and take a note of where he pulls the plates out from. “I love the kitchen. I cook so we can share that responsibility. Make sure we have a homemade meal at least a few times a week.”

“That sounds good.” Marcus nods, turning back to the fridge to pull out two beers. “I like cooking but it never seemed worth it for just me, you know?” He hands you the beer and watches as you pull out the cartons. “After dinner, I’ll show you the bedroom and you can see how you like it? Or we can look at it now if you prefer?”

“Yeah. That sounds good.” You reach out to take his hand after he sets the beer door in front of you. “I really mean it, I appreciate it.” You tell him, unsure of what you would’ve done if you hadn’t heard him in the break room.

He nods, blushing and getting bashful and that confirms you made the right choice. Some men would be demanding you get down onto your knees and show them just how thankful you are. “Let’s eat.” Marcus says, setting down the chopsticks and you nod, digging into the food.

Dinner is easy, both of you apparently hungry as you chow down. After a few bites, Marcus takes a swallow of his beer. “So one thing, I hope you don’t take offense to it, but I’m thinking that if we have overnight ‘guests’, we give the other to the courtesy of a heads up?” He asks. “That way we aren’t surprised when some random half naked person wanders into the kitchen in the middle of the night?”

You nod, swallowing your bite, and you hate the way your stomach twists when you think about walking in to someone who spent the night in Marcus’s bed. “Yeah. Of course. I think any overnight guests we give each other a heads up. I doubt you’ll be getting too many heads up from me. I- I’ve been knocked back by my ex. I’m gonna reset and enjoy some time to myself.” You admit before taking another sip of beer.

“We have that in common.” Marcus nods and sighs. “It’s been- I’ve decided the same thing. Work on myself before involving someone else in my bullshit.” He gives a small shrug and spears a piece of garlic chicken. “So you don’t have to worry about that from me.”

“Looks like the only action this townhouse is gonna get will be movies.” You tease, taking another bite. “I do miss having someone to watch shows with. Or go get breakfast on the weekend. Stupid things like that…when they’re gone, it makes you feel so alone.”

“God yes.” Marcus groans. “I’m so fucking sick of the looks of pity when I go eat by myself.” He rolls his eyes. “Plus you know my work, it can be crazy hours. You’re right there too.”

“You’re down for brunch then?” You smirk and he nods, “hell yes.” You lean back in your seat to look at him, “I think this is the beginning of something truly wonderful, Pike.” He winks at you and you try to ignore the way your heart flutters.

After dinner, you help clear up and Marcus grabs your suitcases from your car, carrying them up to the second bedroom. “Oh I love this.” You smile, admiring the simple furniture but the view looks out at the small park across the street. “Seriously, you picked a great house.” You tell him again.

“Thanks.” He smiles, blushing slightly. “I, uh, I’ll leave you to get settled in. I’ll set you up a code for the alarm and get you my spare key in the morning. I’m across the hall if you need anything.”

You walk over to him as he hovers in the hall, leaning in to kiss his cheek again. “Seriously Marcus, you have no clue how grateful I am for this. Thank you.” You murmur and he blushes, stepping back after you walk back into the room.

“Stop saying thank you.” He teases, “goodnight.”

You smile at him, “goodnight, Pike.”

****

It’s been nearly six months of living together. Six months of dinners and sometimes brunches out. Splitting the bills and both of you comfortable in the town house. You had started adding things that you wanted, the electric wine bottle opener was amazing and he didn’t mind the candles you bought. He, however, is going insane. The growing attraction to you is bordering on cruel and he’s honestly happy that he’s got to work late tonight. Needing to not get caught up in the romance of the date with his pretty and kind roommate.

“Hey.” He greets you when You pick up your office phone. “Something’s come up and it looks like I’m pulling a late night.” He chuckles sarcastically, “it’s a good thing I don’t have a date or anything for Valentine’s Day, huh?”

You smile against the phone, hating that you’re happy that Marcus doesn’t have a date. He’s been on a few since you lived in his townhouse and you hated it. Sitting on the sofa all night, counting down until he came home. It’s pathetic really how much you want him. You think about him all the time. Sure, you thought he was handsome but after spending night after night with Marcus, getting to know him (even his little quirks like his comic collection and the way he constantly loses his glasses), you are ridiculously in love with him. He’s working late and you don’t have a date so you decide to treat yourself.

You have new lingerie you ordered because it was pretty so you are going to put that on and have fun with the new toy you bought. It was ridiculous how anxious you were to have it delivered to the house without Marcus accidentally opening it. “I don’t have a date either but I’m just gonna have a relaxing night in. Face mask, chocolate, and a cheesy movie sound perfect to me. Just let me know when you’re on your way home and we can figure out dinner.”

“No problem. I’ll talk to you later.” Marcus tells you before hanging up the phone. He wishes he could just go home and do those things with you, but someone fucked up royally and it was his job to find it and fix the mess. Sighing slightly, he looks at the stack of files on his desk and picks up the first one to get started.

Only a few hours after everyone else rushed out early to get ready for their romantic evenings, Marcus is practically flying out of the building. Finding the mistake hadn’t taken as much time as he feared and all he could think of was getting home to you.

It’s crazy how much he loves you being there, how much you seem to have in common. You’re perfect for him and he’s dangerously close to falling in love with you. He taps on the wheel as he drives towards home, forgetting to call you in his excitement to be there. Figuring that you will just decide together once he gets home and changes. A night on the couch with you and takeout sounds better than battling for a seat in a restaurant anyway.

You are spread out on your bed, moaning softly when you think about Marcus. The new glass dildo you bought yourself is pushed deep inside of you. You’re in no rush to cum tonight, deciding to work yourself up. Your fingers lightly trace your clit and you enjoy the slow build up of pleasure, your wand on the side for when you need to cum. “Oh that’s good.” You moan to yourself, imagining it’s Marcus pushing into you. You are absorbed in the pleasure, you don’t hear the front door opening or the footsteps coming up the stairs.

Marcus goes through his routine, dropping keys, depositing his shoes and finally trudging up the stairs. He’s left his suit coat downstairs because he knows he needs to take it to the dry cleaner this weekend, but before he goes to his bedroom, he decides to knock on your door and poke his head in. Both of you had gotten into the habit, so it’s nothing new.

“Hey, I’m ho-“ stopping immediately as he eyes widen at the sight of you spread out on your bed wearing the sexiest thing he’s ever seen in his life and a dildo stretching your cunt out. “Fuck.” He gasps, immediately starting to harden in his dress pants.

You gasp, sitting up in shock and pulling the dildo out of you. Shit, you didn’t expect Marcus to be home yet and you didn’t hear him. Fuck, you didn’t hear him. Embarrassed and wondering what the fuck to say. You then look down at his pants, smirking when you see the tent starting to form and the dark look in his eyes. “You wanna sit down and watch?” You ask boldly.

He shouldn’t. He should apologize and go to his own room and take a very cold shower. But he’s tired of that. He’s tired of doing what he should. So instead of doing that, Marcus nods, walking into the room and sitting down at the end of your bed. He won’t touch you, you didn’t say he could, but if you’re going to let him watch - he’s going to watch. “Fuck, push it back inside you.” He groans.

You obey his demand, pushing the toy back inside of you with a whimper. “Fuck.” You pant, chest heaving as your walls take the toy. It’s not enough to make you cum but it’s enough to make you moan his name by accident, realizing what you just did, your eyes widen.

“Fuck.” Marcus leans closer and pants, watching you move the dildo in and out of your fluttering cunt. “Does that feel good baby, that dildo filling you up like you need?” He’s never been shy about watching porn, never felt dirty about it and this is like his own private show.

“It’s not enough. I can’t - it’s good but it’s not what I need.” You whine and he leans closer, wanting to touch you but keeping back. “I need you Marcus. Please. You want - you want to taste first?” You offer, pulling the toy out of you and you sit up to hold it towards him. It glistens with your arousal, you haven’t cum yet and you want more, you want him.

He groans, wanting nothing more than to taste you. His tongue slides around the toy, moaning at the tangy taste of your arousal off the glass toy. Licking your essence off of it before you pull it away. “You want me to touch you, baby? Replace that toy inside your pussy?” He’s growling at the idea in pleasure, wanting you for so long as he reaches down and palms himself through his pants. “I need you to say the words.”

You know this crosses so many lines but fuck, you need him. “Yes. Please Marcus. I need you to do something, anything.” You beg, tossing the toy down on your sheets and you reach behind you to unclasp your bra, shoving it down your arms to reveal your tits to his hungry gaze. “Please baby. I want you.”

Marcus immediately reaches for you, wanting to touch you for so long. Fingers sliding through your folds and flicking over your clit before he moves them down to push two fingers deep into your pussy and curl them up with a groan of your name. “So fucking tight, baby girl.”

You gasp when his fingers push deep again and you whimper when his thumb presses against your clit. “Oh God. That’s - you feel so much better.” You moan, squeezing your tits as he curls his fingers inside of you. “Marcus, baby. Oh - you have no idea how many times I’ve imagined this.”

Marcus groans, cock throbbing in his pants and he quickly pumps his fingers in and out of you. “Me too, fuck, wanted to fuck you so many times. Imagined it while I was jerking off.” He confesses, watching you grope your tits and he knows he wants you to cum before he fucks you. “Wanted to spread you out.”

You can’t stop the moans escaping your lips. So many nights of being silent due to you smothering your sounds so Marcus didn’t hear. Now, you don’t have to do that. “Always - always wondered what those thick fingers would be like inside of me. Would watch when you’d lick them while eating. So fucking sexy. You are so sexy, Marcus, and you don’t even realize it.” You pant out, knowing that makes him even sexier. Your walls flutter around his fingers, thumb rubbing your clit and you’re so close to cumming.

“You’re so fucking sexy.” He counters, groaning as he feels your walls flutter. “That’s it, fuck, wanting you to cum all over my hand.” He coos, rubbing your clit harder. “Cum for me and I’ll fuck you. I’ll make sure you feel soooo fucking good, honey.” He promises. “Wanna see it, wanna feel it.” He knows he will remember this right here for a long fucking time. Even if it was a one time thing, he won’t regret it. Not when you are whimpering his name like that.

Your mouth falls open, vision going hazy as you clamp down on his fingers. A strangled whine escapes your lips as you gush around his digits, loving how good his fingers feel inside of you. “Fuckkkk Marc.” You pant, eyes squeezed shut as you keep his fingers inside of you with a tight grip, loving how good you feel with the pleasure surging through you.

He keeps applying the pressure until you go limp and then he’s pulling his fingers free. Rushing as he scrambles off the bed to pull his clothes off. Frantic to get inside you and fuck you like he’s imagined a hundred times before. Throwing his clothes on the floor and wrapping his fingers around his cock to pump it a few times as he kneels on the bed between your legs. “Fuck, I- you look so good.” He moans, gathering your legs up and shuffling closer to sink into you as quickly as he can.

“Fucking hell.” You gasp at the sight of his hard cock. So fucking beautiful with the veins running along the length, the head cut and pooling with precum. “Fuck baby. Fuck me.” You beg, rubbing your thighs as you grow more impatient to have him inside of you.

Marcus doesn’t need to be told twice. He swipes the head through your folds once before he’s pushing inside you with a loud groan. Hotter than you have any right to be and twice as fucking tight, he keeps rolling his hips forward until he’s seated all the way inside you, eyes fluttering as if he were in prayer and he moans your name.

Your mouth falls open in a silent moan as he stretches you out. God, he feels incredible inside of you and you trail your hands along his forearms up to his shoulders and down his chest while he gives you a moment to adjust. “We should’ve done this sooner.” You gasp when his cock twitches inside of you and you instinctively clench around him.

“Yessss.” He hisses, gritting his teeth together so he doesn’t blow his load right there. “We- we should have.” He grunts, waiting until you are grabbing onto his arms. He pulls his hips back and starts to thrust into you with rough, needy strokes. He’s wanted you too much to be slow and gentle. Grunting when he bottoms out inside you again.

You moan, enjoying the way Marcus thrusts into you. You know you aren't going to cum from this alone but you are enjoying it. You've already cum on his fingers which is more than you can say for your exes. You caress his chest, loving the look on his face as he fucks into you, almost pussy drunk and you feel so fucking sexy because of it.

The pace stays as harsh and fast as he can possibly make it. Watching your face as you take every thrust, he starts to slow when he doesn’t feel you clenching around him. “What’s wrong?” He pants, holding himself up and he slides his hands up your legs on his shoulders. “Is- do you want to stop?”

You shake your head, "no. No. Don't stop baby. Don't stop. I want you to cum." You tell him, reaching for his hands to squeeze them.

Marcus frowns, "but I want you to cum too."

You smile, grateful that he's so sweet. "It's okay. I can't - penetration doesn't get me off. It's how it is for me. I am happy to watch you cum and it feels good. I promise, I will be satisfied. I've already cum on your fingers."

Marcus shakes his head, unhappy with your answer, looking over at the wand laying on your bed and he picks it up. You must be a clitoral stimulation type of girl. “No baby, I want you to cum on my cock,” he hums, turning it on. “Doesn’t matter how you cum, I just want you to cum again.” He spreads your thighs wider so he can press it to your clit. He doesn’t care about needing toys to help out, he’s always thought of them as his partners for pleasuring the woman he’s with.

You moan when he presses the toy to your clit, making you clench around his cock still buried inside of you. “Yes, that’s - God. That’s it. Move for me baby.” You demand, wanting to feel him moving inside of you. His cock feels so good combined with the wand, making you moan as his hips start to move.

“Feel good?” He asks and you nod, “so damn good.”

Marcus groans, rocking his hips as he holds the wand to your clit. Watching the pleasure bloom over your face again. You can’t cum from penetration, he files that away to remember. Knowing that he wants to do this for as long as you want to. “Fuck you’re so pretty.” He groans. “I’ll make you cum on my face next time.” He promises as he works his cock in and out of your tight walls.

You gasp when he hits something deep inside of you, making you gush around him. The toy is pressed just right against your clit and you sigh his name as you get closer to your orgasm. “I- fuck. You’re gonna make me cum.” You moan, rocking your hips up to meet his. “I’m so close.” You pant, head tilting back against your pillows.

“Cum baby.” Marcus urges you, keeping the wand against your clit to give you the pleasure you need. Thrusting into you as he looks down, feeling your walls start to pulse around him. “Cum for me baby, show me how that pussy feels when you cum.”

You can’t deny him even if you wanted to. It’s impossible. You choke on your own breath as you cum, clamping down on his cock and soaking him with your cum. “Fuckkkk.” You finally rasp out, eyes rolling into the back of your head and your thighs shake against his chest, the pleasure dragged out by the wand and his cock working you through it.

When he finally pulls the wand away from your clit, Marcus goes feral. Shoving your legs higher on his shoulders, he groans as he starts ramming himself into you at a breakneck pace. Needing to cum and wanting to use the hot cum that that gushed around him to make it even slicker. “Fuck- fuck- where?” He manages to spit out, forgetting that he hadn’t asked a question about birth control.

“Inside. It’s safe. I- I have an IUD. Please Marcus. Wanna feel you.” You beg, loving the way he is thrusting into you like a mad man. He’s unhinged and it almost, almost, has you ready to cum again.

The mere thought of being able to cum inside you pushes him over the edge. He rocks his hips another three times before he groans your name harshly and pushes as deep as he can - wanting to be as deep as possible. Painting your walls with every grunt of pleasure.

You love watching him, the way his jaw clenches, the muscles in his neck pulling taunt, and his eyes squeezed shut. “So good baby. I love it. Love being filled up by you.” You coo, caressing his cheeks and down his neck until your palm is over his thumping heart.

“Shit.” Marcus groans, feeling relaxed and exhausted. Exhilarated by the fact that his cock is softening inside you and he knows what you look like when you cum. Except he hasn’t kissed you. Sliding your legs off his shoulders gently, he moves them to his waist so he can lean in and press his lips to yours. Closing his eyes as he tries to catch his breath.

You sigh into the kiss, running your fingers through his hair while your legs wrap around his waist to pull him closer. “That was - it’s insane how long I’ve wanted that.” You admit shyly when he pulls back from you.

“Fuck I wanted to do that too,” he can’t help lean in again, nuzzling into your neck and dropping kisses over your dewy skin. “I- I’m sorry I just walked in, I should have knocked.” He offers, even though he’s happy he’s where he’s at. Politeness dictates an apology at least.

“Don’t apologize, Marcus.” You snort, caressing his shoulders. “I have wanted you since I moved in. I- I really hate to mess up the roommate thing but…but I think I’m in love with you.” You admit, biting your lip as you wait for his reaction.

Marcus stares at you for a moment, unable to believe that his dreams come true and he hasn’t done anything to get what he wanted. “Hey-“ he shakes his head and offers you a grin. “Then that’s good. I won’t seem crazy asking you to move in with me.” He jokes, leaning in and pressing his lips to yours gently. “I think I’m in love with you too, baby.” He confesses against your lips.

You can't help but grin, heart thumping and you almost feel dizzy with happiness. the man you love loves you back. "I hate to break it to you babe but I have already moved in with you.

Marcus shakes his head, "I mean my room. I want to share a room with you, sleep in the same bed." He murmurs, pulling back to look at you. It's sweet and you immediately agree, knowing you'll likely end up there every night anyway.

"I'd like that." You smile and he grins in response. "Oh, Happy Valentine's Day." You coo, "I thought I was gonna be lonely and single today but I ended up with a boyfriend." You say cautiously, hoping that's what he wants.

"Never thought I'd finish the day with a girlfriend." He says and you lean in to kiss him. "Happy Valentine's Day baby." Marcus murmurs, caressing your cheek. It was certainly one he won't forget.
