preacher!rhett would fuck you with a cross and call it the hand of god

ptolemaea. | these crosses all over my body.

preacher!rhett abbott x reader.

￫ description: preacher rhett offers you the hand of god to calm your woes.

￫ word count: 611.

￫ c/w: very dark religious themes, dark themes, daddy kink, fingering (f!receiving), inappropriate use of the cross, what you read in the ask is what it’s going to be.

￫ a/n: i cannot stress this enough, what you read in the ask is what it’s going to be. this has some seriously dark religious themes. thank you so much for this incredible idea my dear anon! this is part of ‘ptolemaea. | the verses.’ my main masterlist can be read here! 💌

previous chapter | next chapter

Rhett knew you were still deliberating with the consequences of your recent actions. You were still a devoted child of God after all, and as you lay in the throws of Motel bed sheets and gave yourself to Rhett, you were serving the Lord through him as Rhett was a man of God.

Therefore, he was able to assist you in your ill woes that had you tossing and turning in the night. The Motel bed sheets were scratchy, but nothing like the scratch of guilt that ran down your spine and boiled in your stomach. It was a vile bile that could only be fixed by the hand of God himself.

“Lay down, pull your dress up and relax for me, my sweet lamb.”

You swallowed thickly and gave him a curt nod. The mattress dipped down as you lay back. Your fingertips ran up and over your thighs to fiddle with the hem of your fraying dress and hike it over your spread thighs.

“No underwear? Good girl. You’re learnin’.”

His words made your cheeks flare up out of sheer embarrassment that he was looking at your bare cunt. Rhett had told you not to wear underwear as you may need to serve the lord at anytime.

You felt the mattress dip again and watched as he came to kneel with one leg on the bed and his other foot planted firmly on the sticky floor. Your body jolted alive when you felt Rhett’s nimble fingers brush over your clit and sweep through your folds.

Your cheeks still burned a rosy red, still out of shame for how aroused he could make you as he was towering over you and touching your cunt with the lightest of touches. You scrunched your eyes shut to avoid the heavy and hungry gaze of Rhett, but it was futile.

“Eyes open, my little lamb. Don’t shut me, or the Lord out.”

You let out a small whine when Rhett’s fingers left your pussy but you quickly followed with a harsh gasp as you felt something hard, yet softly curved around the edges, dip in between your folds.

You watched his face with wide eyes as your mind raced to map the shape of the object. His gaze was focused entirely on your cunt and a flash of a Devil’s grin was twitching at the corner of his lips.

“And besides, I want to watch you, as y’ accept the hand of God.”

“Is— Rhett, is it—”

Your hands went flat against the Motel bed sheets before you scrunched them up and into your palms as tightly as you could grasp. Only now could you feel the shape of the object as he worked it deeper into your wet cunt.

When you both escaped to see the West, there wasn’t much time to pack and Rhett only brought the essentials along with him. A few changes of clothes, a Bible and a small cross.

“Yes, my sweet lamb. The hand of God.”

His voice was smooth and like you always had, you trusted in his words and actions. You believed what he was doing was best for you, and so you lay there as a blessed daughter of Abbott, and took the cross.

“Oh, sweet, Preacher Abbott. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

Your string of praises came out babbled as every so often, Rhett would move the cross to hit the sweet spot deep inside of you. In turn, you would buck your hips ever so slightly and let out debauched moans.

“It may feel good, my little lamb, ‘nd that’s okay. If y’ want t’ come, you ask me, as always.”

“Yes, Daddy.”

don't ever wonder

Pairing: Akiko Yosano x gn!Reader

Writing Genre: drabble

Genre(s): romance

Word count: 611

Warnings: alcohol & its consumption, me trying to write a first date having never been on a date before

Notes: I've been wanting to write a fic w/Yosano, and I figured that this was the perfect opportunity! And yes, this fic is titled after Ascension by Maxwell ;)

Bouquet Meaning: red roses - love & romance; sunflowers - adoration, loyalty, hope, peace; monarch butterfly - rebirth/starting something new

for the 'New Beginnings' collab by @venexus

Read it on ao3!

~~~

The crisp, natural scent of the bouquet in your hands momentarily eased your nerves as you thanked and paid the florist. Red roses and sunflowers formed the delicate shape of heart, and a bright monarch butterfly rested on top.

Is this too forward? No, Yosano is direct, if anything this is perfect… right?

You snuck another sniff from the bouquet to quell your pestering anxiety. The hum of the car’s engine was soon overshadowed by a soft song playing on the radio as you drove along the familiar route to your coworker’s apartment.

—

The gentle knock you rapped on Yosano’s door echoed the beating of your heart as she opened it. An off-the-shoulder dress crafted in red silk was the first thing to greet your vision – a large slit over her right leg drew your attention next. By far the most beautiful, however, was her dazzling smile encased in red. Her dark hair held a light curl, and her stunning magenta eyes were decorated with small, black wings.

“You look enchanting tonight, Akiko.”

“Thank you, Y/n.”

“I have a gift for you.”

Revealing the bouquet from its hiding place behind your back, you watched excitement bloom in Yosano’s eyes.

“Oh, wow, I love flowers!”

"I see a new arrangement on your desk every week, and I figured that you might."

"So, you've been watching me?" she queried, setting the bouquet down on her entry table.

"How could I not?" you replied, lifting up your hand for her to take as she finished locking the door.

"You're quite the charmer this evening, Y/n." she spoke, slipping her fingers through yours.

"Think of it as your effect on me." you smiled coyly, leading her to the car.

—

The dim light from glittering chandeliers highlighted Yosano’s golden jewelry – your eyes transfixed by her graceful movements as she finished her choko of sake. Her eyes twinkled as her fuchsine gaze fell over your features. Slender fingers traced over yours as she tilted her head, seemingly analyzing the emotions in your eyes. She hummed with a light chuckle, appearing to be both pleased and amused at what she found.

The waiter brought the check a moment later, and you slid your card in between the leather. Together you finished the tokkuri, feeling the hot sake warm up your body as it went down. The waiter brought back your check and card, and you thanked him before signing it.

Standing up, you grasped Yosano's hand and left the classy establishment.

"Thank you for the lovely dinner." she spoke.

"You're welcome, but the night's not over yet." you voiced with slight mischief.

She looked at you with curiosity and miniscule suspicion as you led her down the street, nearing a melodious park.

The trees were wrapped in little glittering lights, and bright delphiniums grew from the soil with diverse shades of snapdragons and primroses. A small orchestra stood off to the side of the cobblestone center – a smooth, slow, and romantic composition blossoming from their instruments.

"Did you do this?" she asked, still observing the dazzled environment.

"Of course! Why else would I have left the office early?" you replied.

"This is beautiful, Y/n, thank you." she smiled sincerely.

"It's my pleasure." you said softly, taking her right hand in yours, as her left slid to your shoulder, and your right moved to her hip.

Together you swayed gently, basking in comfort and an ever-growing feeling of love – one that had been blooming since you first met five years ago. This chilled night under the stars would become the first of many with Yosano, and mark the beginning of the next chapter in your lives.

you’re down sick w/ buster bros

-pairings: ichiro yamada x gn!reader, jiro yamada x gn!reader, saburo yamada x gn!reader

-genre: fluff

-overall word count: 1.65k

-a/n: i came down with the flu and have been utterly sick the past few days 😷 i wrote this amidst all my delirium and pain with my fav boys lol, and you can def tell that i was ranting a bit lmao. word count ended up uneven between the three of them buttt hope you guys don’t mind 😓 anywayy hope you guys enjoy, and remember to stay safe, esp during cold and flu season 💕

ichiro (432 words)

“here, take this.”

“but ichiro-”

your boyfriend shoves a spoonful of disgusting medicine down your throat the moment you open your mouth and give him the chance. it tastes like shit, despite the overwhelming artificial strawberry (cherry? whatever it was red) flavor. it was so bitter, so gross. it should’ve at least been bubblegum.

and it’s the third or fourth spoonful you’ve taken that day, and also the third or fourth time you were close to gagging. ‘it’ll be good for you’ ichiro yearns, with a cute smile and gentle pat on the head. but he’s not the one who’s sick and definitely not the one who has to deal with shit-tasting medicine.

ah fuck, you really miss not being sick.

“that wasn’t bad now,” ichiro chuckles when you give him a disgruntled look and cute pout. he’s enjoying himself a little, perhaps, happy to nurse you back to health. he’s done this many times; ichiro is practically a pro by now, a licensed nurse or whatever. he definitely carries himself as so, with the demands and spoon feeding you medicine, like a child. but he’s a cute nurse, at the very least. or you think so, looking from your lashes as he takes your temperature with his hand. his smile is cute, after all, when he finds you to be just fine.

“how’s your throat by the way?” you can’t speak that loud, as much as you try, because you’re in pain and your throat is irritating the everliving fuck out of you. you just want to rest it but also take all the disgusting cough drops in the world to numb the sensation.

he laughs again at your defeated look, having succumbed to this no good, rotten flu. but at least you feel the tiniest bit better when he rubs his thumb across your hand, the comfort and warmth putting you at ease. “i’ll go prepare some soup for you, alright?” you nod, content as can be (while sick that is) as he ruffles your hair. you were somewhat sick of soup, but ichiro had told you that the sensei told him fluids were the best, and it definitely did soothe your throat (and burn your tongue but that was neither here nor there), so you had no room to complain really.

“alright babe. you’ll get better in no time.” your boyfriend/nurse is so cute, you think, happy to know that you had such a loving guy to look over you. a bit of luck in these trying times, you contentedly sigh.

but you’d still rather not be sick.

jiro (611 words)

“trust me babe. i do this all the time and i get better right away!!”

you had no energy to argue with jiro, nor the capacity to given your strained throat. how pitiful a state you were in, throat sore and sinuses inflamed (or so it felt). but the last thing you needed was some bullshit homeopathic medicine that your boyfriend had just made up on that very spot, if only to give you a slimmer of false hope.

“you said that the last three times jiro,” you groan out quietly, and all three hadn’t worked, not one bit. you were sick and tired of taking different medications, of which neither you nor jiro knew what the fuck they even did. and honestly, you were a tiny bit worried that the concoctions within you would somehow kill you on the spot. they had allergies, headaches, or sinuses on the label and jiro just gave you them, whether they’re intended to be mixed or abused or not. bless his dumb little soul.

“but this time for sure.” yeah sure, whatever; you roll your eyes, and jiro sighs, running a hand through his hair. “listen babe, listen! when i have the flu like you, i always take this and it works like a charm!!”

he puts out some weird juice, the likes of which you haven’t seen much before. well, not entirely true; you did see jiro take it once a while back when he himself was sick, except that he gagged and threw up his entire guts after, which wasn’t entirely helpful nor comforting i presume. “this got rid of my flu in like a half hour or so!”

doubt. or maybe his immune system is just that strong. he was an athlete, right? maybe you should’ve practiced soccer with jiro much more, now that you think back on it.

but you can’t say no to him, not when he gives you that pleasing look that makes him look like a cute (yet troublesome) puppy. he just wants to take care of you, to be that strong boyfriend you can rely on. it’s cute, you have to admit, even as strangely excited as he was to take care of you when you texted him that you were down with the bothersome flu. he had shown up at your door in five minutes flat (despite living ten minutes away what the fuck-) with a whole bunch of medicines and shit.

but you’re just glad you have a caretaker i guess, aside from your mom. you have to let your boyfriend have this, to let him know that he’s doing a good job (as terrible of a job as it probably was, but he was good in morale and kisses, sick and delirious kisses). so you take the drink, cursing your heart for doing a flip when he gives you that puppy beam.

and it tastes like shit. complete and utter garbage, so bitter and disgusting.

“ack, fuck! jiro what-!”

“just drink it,” he shoves the drink towards you, as awful tasting as it is, and you take another awful sip. gosh how you just want to gag. “yeah yeah, it tastes like shit, but it works! i promise!”

and as much as you love your boyfriend, jiro is also such a big fat liar, or so you feel that way at the moment, glaring at him. you just feel and look worse afterwards.

“um, on second thought,” he rubs the nape of his neck, too embarrassed to look you in the eye. “i’ll just make ichi-nii’s special soup for your throat.”

yeah, that sounded much better. ah well, at least he was cute.

saburo (606 words)

“saburoo, this tastes gross.”

your boyfriend just seems to roll his eyes at your whining and complaining, perhaps finding your strained voice and quiet groans a bit amusing. you want to slap him for that — you’re the one going through hell and back after all, not that he’d understand — but you can’t; he’s the one nursing you back to health, despite his complaints. and you’re definitely not going to let go of your own personal nurse, especially when it’s your boyfriend.

you have the urge to gag up the bitter medicine he just shoved in your mouth, even more so when you swallow it out of force. ugh why did it taste like that?! it was (supposedly) supposed to help with your cough and congestion, but all the medicines and pills you took and that was simply untrue.

you were uncurable, much to your dismay and pain.

“you need to take it,” saburo scolds, emphasizing the ‘need’ as if you were a child not understanding. “why did you even go to school today if you felt so bad?”

“my mom forced me too.” well, it’s more like she forced you to take some disgusting medicine, the worst you’ve ever tasted, and then sent you off to school when you didn’t seem to have a fever. there was no way you were missing a day of school, not on her watch. just wear a mask and take some cough drops or whatever, she advised, handing you a bunch of gross honey-lemon ones (they weren’t even your favorite! the absolute worst of the bunch) then throwing you out.

at least saburo could tell that you looked of death. and bless his soul for forcing you to leave early, dragging you to the office despite your protests as you were too tired to fight back, especially against his monolith.

“can i get headache medicinee,” you whine in your raspy voice, again. ibuprofen was your savior, especially against your pounding headache and eyeache. it didn’t help that whenever your nose wasn’t congested, your sinuses were on fire as well.

“no.” you pout at his firm stance. it was the fourth time you’ve asked, and fourth time he’s said no. how cruel..did he like seeing you in pain? “you just took one a few hours ago,” he sighs, not even immune to your puppy eyes.

and he had a point, as much as you didn’t care. sure you’d probably be actively destroying your liver and body by taking so many — and i really mean so many — concoctions, but at the moment, you’d take that chance. you just wanna feel better man.

well, it’s cute how worried saburo was for your health i suppose, even as he insisted that it’s because he knows you can’t take care of yourself whatsoever. and we can’t have you dying on him, can we? as i said, it’s cute that he cares.

“can i at least get soup?” you give him the puppy eyes again. at least soup made you feel a bit better, especially good at soothing your throat for a few.

and he obviously can’t say no to that request, as much as he seems to reluctantly agree.

“alright,” saburo sighs, “but don’t take anymore medicine when i’m gone.” typical saburo, doesn’t trust you not to destroy yourself.

but you don’t entirely mind right now, at least. you know your boyfriend well, and you know he’s going to make your favorite soup, “accidentally” of course.

sigh, saburo simply being there sure did make you feel a tiny bit better. you relished in his affection, and perhaps you should appear sick more often (not).

What do you think of British and American locomotives?

I’m not really intending to be asking about which one you prefer or think is better than the other. More so just what you think of em both in general; and their differences and similarities, etc.

(I worry that this is maybe too vague an ask, or not really something you’re interested in. If so, then don’t feel pressed to have to answer it lol)

I just love locomotives 🚂 examining the differences between UK and US locos is so much fun

I love American locos for being BEASTS I think it's part of the majesty

R&N 2102 and Santa Fe 2926 come to mind :D (man I love 4-8-4s ... ❤ these 2 are locos I could actually see in real life but I have no money for tours and such ×_× ill stick to watching the csx freight scream by at night)

I like british locos for their STYLE, whats funny is that I never experienced engines like them in real life, so when I watched thomas as a child they only looked more like toys. american engines are so industrial looking (when theyre not streamlined like n&w 611) in comparison

my brains a bit broken when I see these sometimes. my dumb ass thinks I can just pick them up

(side note I love USA tour scotsman so much. look at that cowcatcher its my favorite thing)

#kips cant shut up #asks #real life railway #santa fe 2926 #r&n 2102 #lms black 5 #flying scotsman #thomas the tank engine

Heya!

Lately I've been pestered by my mom to try and do some train stickers, and while I adore the idea of doing some M-63/M-73 stickers, well, I'm really NOT versed well in older steam engines

Would you have any models that you like and haven't been represented in mainstream stickers? Some you'd like to see? I have pics of older canadian trains (some very unique!) but they don't exactly look like trains at first sight? The ones that stuck in my mind are the snowplows, which are not what people expect of a train lol

TL;DR: I'm looking for trains that aren't the normal "wooden toy train" stereotype. Think any other models would appeal to other train fans?

Steam, Dual, electric, I'm up for anything!

Ohhhh, do I have some recommendations for you!

For older electric locomotives:

Pennsylvania Railroad GG1. Everyone knew this was coming from me, but I've been obsessed with it since age 4 or so. It's sleek, it's art deco, and it was damn good at what it did. I am so deeply attached to these things that it's pathetic.

For older steam locomotives:

New York Central Dreyfuss Hudson

Pennsylvania Railroad K4

Pennsylvania Railroad T1

LNER A1/A3 Flying Scotsman (a specific locomotive, not just the class)

LNER A4 4468 Mallard (a specific locomotive, not just the class - Mallard holds the steam speed record at 126 mph)

Milwaukee Road Class A Atlantics

Norfolk and Western J Class (N&W 611 is the lone survivor of the class and still operates)

Union Pacific Big Boy

Southern Pacific GS-4 (SP 4449 is the lone survivor of the class and still operates)

GWR 3700 Class 3440 City of Truro (a specific locomotive, not just the class)

Canadian Pacific Royal Hudson

Stephenson's Rocket

John Bull

For older diesel locomotives:

Pioneer Zephyr

I hope this is a decent starter list! Hopefully it's not too many or too overwhelming! There's a lot of others I'd add later, and if you wanted to do modern trains, I'm of course going to shill for the E5/H5 Shinkansen because I love it, but this is hopefully a good starting place!
