Fanfic Prompts: Bittersweet

For both romantic and platonic ships! Bittersweet is one of my fav categories~

 “We aren’t blood related but you’re the most important family member of mine, you know that right?”

“Can you stay with me just a little longer?”

“I’m doomed to be lonely for the majority of my life, but I’m glad we’ve made the memories we have”

“It’s going to be a long road but I’m content.”

“How about one last adventure?”

“I know we didn’t talk much but either way I just want you to know, you were a big part of my life and I’m thankful for every second we got to spend together.”

“Can you stay up with me?”

“Can you just please listen to me! Just this once. Please.”

“We won’t grow old together will we?” “No, but we made memories that’ll outlive even us.”

“You’re only a memory to me now, but you’re my most cherished memory.”

Bringing the other out to watch the stars on a sad anniversary

Helping the other stop people pleasing because it’s destroying them. 

Happy hangout/date that turns sour due to one of them having a medical emergency.

Staying up late to finally see the other who’s been over workings and falling asleep before they come home, they only getting home way later then expected and just seeing the other asleep with food wrapped up waiting for them.

Watching the other try to power through a event but their slowly cracking under the pressure, being unable to help them till after.

“Some day the world will forget us, yet I find myself oddly content.”

Helping the other through a bad day but it’s slowly breaking you down as well till they notice.

I’ve been reframing thoughts from “they could do it, but I can’t because I’m not good enough” to “they could do it and so can I because we’re both humans just trying our best”, or from “I can’t show up unless I’m perfect” to “I don’t have to be perfect, I just have to show up”, or from “the future is hopeless” to “there is hope even if I can’t see it”, or from “I will always feel this bad” to “everything is temporary”, or from “it is taking too much time to get better” to “it took time to get sick, it will take some time and patience to get better”.

But that reframing takes time too. It takes effort. It takes doing little things to make yourself feel better even when at first doing those things seems silly. Sometimes, you will fall off track, but you will get back up on your progress after resting as much as you need. Remember that this is about progression and not perfection. Remember it takes time, it takes a lot of trying, grieving, self-acceptance and self-forgiveness, but it is worth it, because little by little, you start to change, you start to get better. Don’t hold yourself to the highest of standards in your recovery, please keep in mind that you deserve to enjoy life, that you deserve to heal, that you deserve this progress, even if you’re not doing it perfectly, even if it seems slow, even if at first it feels hard to believe that you deserve good things. You don’t have to earn your healing by being perfect at it. Take your time. Rest if you must. But keep going, you’re doing great just by trying.

To anyone and everyone who have had a rough time recently, remember, your never alone.

There are people who understand your struggles, and even if you can’t see them supporting you, that doesn’t mean they aren’t there.

You can do it. Remember, take life each day at a time. If you focus on putting one foot in front of the other, you’ll make progress you would’ve thought impossible.

Keep fighting, even if it’s hard as hell. Keep going, even when you feel like you’re making no progress. You can and you will get through it.

Stay strong, and never forget that you are enough. You are priceless, and you matter. Never let anyone convince you otherwise.

Whump Snippet Saturday #24

Caretaker looks down at whumpee with a frown. The kid's been through too much shit and won't stop putting themselves in harms way, but nothing they say makes them finally stop and take a break.

Their gaze softens when whumpee cracks one eye open, looking directly at caretaker, a smile tugging at their lips. "Did we make it?", whumpee slurs softly and fights the exhaustion taking over.

"We did. You did a good job, kid," caretaker mutters and smiles assuringly. "The others are fine, thanks to you. So don't worry about them and get some rest," they add, already seeing the worried words ready to roll off the other's tongue.

Whumpee's hand moves ever so slightly, but caretaker gets the hint and reaches out to take and squeeze it softly. "You did good. Now sleep."

Ugh.. I've woken up today with a sore back.. maybe I slept wrong? No matter, I'll keep going about the day. A little ache won't stop me from spending the days of Autumn with Moomin Troll and everyone else. I'm sure a little ache wouldn't stop you from talking to your friends, would it? You've always got to stay by them, no matter how much you hurt or feel, because they're there to help you! :]

Hello, little one.

You’re having a really hard time right now and I’m sorry for it. 

I’m sorry that you’re suffering from the effects of the past, the cruelty and the mistakes. And I’m sorry that you don’t have the love you need, that you deserve, anything that makes you truly happy and secure.

I’m so sorry for that. 

I love you so much and you mean too much for me to just give up and ignore you and act like nothing affects you because it all really does, it stings, it drives the knife deeper and the pain is almost too difficult to bear. 

And I hate that this is your existence, this is what your existence has come to. Why doesn’t anyone understand you and why does no one even try? 

You’re not worthless or meaningless, no matter what your experience is telling you. You are valuable and beautiful and your voice no matter how much it is rejected and demeaned means something. 

Please have strength and keep going. Please. I know it’s hard. I know it feels like you’ve been stabbed through the heart. But please. Things can’t change if you give up now.

~things I wrote to myself, that I hope will help you also.

Nerves || Trans! Dew x Aether Ghoul

Taken up from an ask on @iamthecomet 's blog, enjoy, lovelies! It's actually cheesy as hell at some points IMO, but sweet nonetheless.

NSFW under the cut, contains feminized genital descriptors (clit, cunt, y'know, the works.) Also a lot of slick. Think of it as remenants of Dew's water ghoul past.

Aether's face is flushed, his lips slightly parted as he just admired Dew's sprawled form on the bed beneath him. His hair was like a halo around his head, golden and oh-so-soft as it cascaded over the sheets and draped over his horns in little sparkling strands. Aether was only brought back to reality when Dew let out the smallest of whines, nervousness already creeping into his tone.

Usually, their actions all remained clothed, rough grinding and practically fucking each other through their jeans, hard, fast, nasty. But tonight was different. Dew had decided early on that he wanted clothes off, and Aether had happily agreed, but now he could see just how scared the small fire ghoul was to reveal his body.

"Y'know, we don't have to do this," Aether speaks after a bit, "we can continue as normal, if you want."

Dew shook his head, the deep blush spreading down his neck. "I want this, I really do, it's just-" Dew catches his lip between his teeth, biting down to try and control his wavering voice. "No one's ever seen me... Like that. Without clothes, you get it." He tried to laugh to fight back the terrified tears pooling up in his eyes.

"Are you scared I'll hate it? Your body?" Aether kept his tone light, ever gentle. He barely needed to wait for Dew's nod.

"I hate it, how can no one else?"

Aether brushed his thumb along Dew's jaw, drawing a soft sob from the man below. "Dew, I already think you're stunning, clothed or not. Your perception of yourself won't ever change the way I see you, the way everyone sees you." He leaned down to leave a sweet kiss on the ghoul's lips, pulling away when the fire ghoul's breathing evened out. "I've always seen you as a man. A feisty, wild man." Aether let Dew absorb his words, the small ghoul's lip still quivering slightly. "Show yourself to me, little flame, let me worship you."

Dew couldn’t help but let the tiniest of laughs escape his lips, bubbling up until a smile tugged up on his frowning face. “I — I mean… I just — I don’t know…” Dew propped himself up on his elbows, huffing. “I want to let you see me, I do… But -”

“The nerves will always be there.” Aether practically finished the little ghoul’s sentence. “And I understand, we take this at your pace, you show me what you want me to see.” He planted a little kiss between Dew’s molten gold eyes, glad to see a look of gratitude on his face.

“Thank you.” Is all Dew can say. He couldn’t ask for a more understanding partner than Aether, someone who had always been there for him. He hated feeling so vulnerable, though, even with the quintessence ghoul. Dewdrop’s heart was hammering against his chest, like a petrified rabbit begging for an escape. “We can - we can start with shirts, I guess…”

Aether accepts that answer with a kind smile. “I hear ya. I’ll go first if it helps at all.” When Dew nodded frantically, he began to get his shirt off at a leisurely pace, one that Dew could easily follow himself. The larger ghoul was soft in all the right places, his body plush yet well built and strong, muscle rippling beneath the surface. “Whenever You’re ready, little flame.” He cooed in a reassuring tone.

Dew relaxes at the tone of Aether's voice, his thin fingers quivering over the top button of his shirt as he takes a moment to look over Aether's body. He always admired the build of the ghoul, as did many, but it always made his eyes and face go soft with a certain kind of love. He lets out a shaky sigh before he began to undo his own shirt, pulling it free from his tight pants — he preferred his shirts tucked — and soon enough exposing his lithe torso to the quintessence ghoul above.

Aether could only utter one word, "stunning." He sounded breathless, like the sight of the little fire ghoul had completely stolen the air from his lungs. It made Dew blush. Once Aether composed himself, he leaned down to kiss the ghoul, using the opportunity to be close and drink in the scent of cinnamon and ash that floated off of Dew.

"You've barely seen anything, you can't be serious..." Dewdrop huffed, breaking himself away from the kiss to breathe hastily. Aether shakes his head, a smile tugging at his lips. "I'm dead serious, firefly, you're fucking beautiful."

Dew looked away, quivering with a myriad of emotions. Everything in his head was screaming at him to stop, to just put his clothes back on and forget this all happened, but he ignored himself for once. "I want my pants off..." He whispered, voice wavering.

"Would you like help?" Aether responded softly, smiling when Dew gave him a nod of confirmation.

What happened after that was a bit of a blur to Dew, all up until the point where he felt Aether's thick fingers slip between his folds, coating themselves in slick and guiding themselves right up to his sensitive clit. This dragged a moan from Dew's throat, his hands lazily lying above his head and grasping at nothing but air.

"Fuck, Aeth..." He finally utters, his eyes going slightly screwy from the heat that gathered in the pit of his stomach, twisting and beginning to coil all at once.

"That's the voice I love to hear, Dewdrop..." Aether muttered, his eyes dark as he watched the fiery ghoul closely, looking for any hint of unease in order to catch it early. "Let me know what you need."

"I need-" Dew gasped, his hips jolting upwards as Aether circled his clit with his thumb. "I need anything, anything you can give me, I want it..."

Aether nodded along with Dew's pleas, thinking through a good way to continue his endeavors in making Dewdrop feel as good as possible. Soon enough, he began undoing his own pants, one-handed of course, as his fingers had already worked their way into Dew's dripping cunt, stretching and stroking inside his heat in search of the special place that could make anyone scream.

Dew's whimpers and whines had evolved into full-fledged moans, his voice still soft with uncertainty, though that was too beginning to melt away. Aether's fingers felt like heaven inside of him, making his eyes roll back into his head as his back arched off the mattress. He could feel the way slick collected on Aether's fingers, trickling into the awaiting palm of his hand as the quintessence ghoul worked his tense body open.

Dew finally let go of his worries when Aether's thumb pressed against his clit, once again giving him the stimulation he craved. A subtle flick upwards sent his hips bucking off the mattress once again, his voice raising slightly as he made non-verbal pleas for more. Aether growled, a pleased noise as he watched the shiny slick pool up in his palm and drip off the side of his palm, creating a wet patch on the bed beneath them as the fire ghoul began to rock his hips with need.

"Take what you need, my firefly, help yourself." Aether cooed to the dazed ghoul, finding the bundle of nerves once again and jutting his fingers sharply upwards, making Dew release a strangled moan from deep within his throat. "Aeth- Aeth please, fuck I'm already so close dammit!" He shouted, blood roaring in his ears. All he could hear was the huffs of Aether's breath as the larger ghoul watched, listened.

"Cum for me then, starlight, I want to watch you burn bright." He growled out once again, and Dew was left seeing stars as his orgasm rocked him, socking him in the stomach and nearly winding him. Aether pumped his fingers continuously, long, languid movements pushing and pulling Dewdrop back to full consciousness.

"Don't worry, Dew, we've got a long night ahead of us." Aether pulled his fingers from the fire ghoul's sopping cunt, strings of glistening slick webbing his fingers as he dragged his tongue along them

"I'll make you see stars."

And Aether stuck to his word. Dew saw stars that night, and it was glorious.

You don't become worthy of love, of happiness or friendship when you achieve some ultimate level in self-improvement. You are deserving of these things all along. No one should deny you compassion, kindness, love and a comfortable life because they don't think you are good enough to have your basic rights and needs met.

Don't be afraid to LIVE

It's a common human experience to be hurt or let down by people we care about. Whether it is a harsh comment from a friend or a betrayal from a loved one, these experiences can leave us feeling vulnerable and exposed. As a result, many of us develop coping mechanisms to protect ourselves from being hurt again. While these strategies may feel necessary in the moment, overall, they can limit us and prevent us from experiencing life fully.

One such coping mechanism is to become hyper-vigilant about protecting ourselves from potential threats. We might become closed off emotionally, keeping our guard up and not letting anyone too close. We might put up walls and boundaries, refusing to let anyone into our inner circle. We might avoid situations or people that we perceive as potentially harmful, missing out on new experiences and connections as a result.

While these strategies may be effective in keeping us safe, they can also prevent us from healing from past hurts. Instead of processing our emotions and working through our pain, we may bottle everything up and suppress our feelings. This can lead to emotional numbness, a sense of detachment from ourselves and those around us.

Moreover, even as we try to avoid further hurt, we might be attracting negative experiences. Our fear and anxiety can create self-fulfilling prophecies, shaping the way we perceive the world and the people in it. We might become hypersensitive to any sign of potential danger, seeing threats where there are none. We might become reactive and defensive, putting people off and creating conflict where none is necessary.

Living half a life is no way to live. If you find yourself constantly on the defensive, protecting yourself from potential hurts, it's important to take a step back and consider whether this is really serving you. While it's natural to want to avoid pain, we can't control everything in life. We can't avoid all risk and live in a padded room. Sometimes, the pain we experience is necessary for growth and learning. Sometimes, we need to take risks and put ourselves out there to truly connect with others and experience all that life has to offer.

If you're struggling with fear and anxiety around being hurt, it's important to seek support and guidance. This might mean talking to a therapist or coach, seeking out a support group, or simply confiding in a trusted friend. By working through your past hurts and cultivating a sense of self-compassion, you can learn to open up and trust again. You can find strength in vulnerability and experience life in all its richness and complexity. Don't let fear hold you back from living the full, vibrant life you deserve.
