"I bought this for you, it's your favorite color" for Tía Victoria and anyone/ everyone, the chat was inspiring lol

This is 100% inspired by @jmrothwell and her amazing Yarn Store Au post, and the equally gorgeous moodboard she just conjured up for it.

When Victoria Alvarez twisted her ankle and had to give up Pilates for a bit, she found herself in need of a hobby. For some reason she decided to take up knitting, despite having no idea how to do so. She tried on her own for a bit, even had Julie queue up a few videos, but even then she couldn't get the hang of it, and decided maybe the employees at the local yarn store might have some tips for her.

"So how was the yarn store?' Julie asked when she came back, scrubbing at the dishes since it was her turn to do them.

"Very helpful actually!" Victoria exclaimed. "I learned a lot, Reggie was really patient with me, and he taught me a few tips."

Flynn snickered. "Reggie."

"It's his name! He was very nice and accommodating," Victoria insisted. "He can't help what his name is Flynnigan."

That shut Flynn up, even as Julie tittered at her girlfriend's comeuppance. "Well I'm glad you got the hang of it tia, you'll have to knit us something when you get good."

"You're more than welcome to take it up yourself," Victoria offered. "I can teach you or bring you to the store yourselves."

"Maybe," Julie mused. "I would like to make one of those cat ear hats."

"As long as you don't knit me a sweater, we're golden," Flynn replied. "I heard there's some sort of curse with sweaters."

"I'll ask Reggie next time I go back," Victoria said with a wink. "Can't have you girls cursed after all."

According to Reggie, apparently there was a curse, and cautioned them against making a significant other a sweater if they wanted to stay together. At least that was what Tia reported after her next visit to the yarn store, returning back with a small dishcloth for each girl, and a half finished scarf.

A few weeks later, Julie and Flynn were hanging around the Molina household once more when Victoria came in again, handing them each a small bag from the yarn store. "I bought this for you, it's your favorite color," she said as she handed them over. Inside each was a set of knitting needles, and a skein of yarn; purple for Julie and a bright orange for Flynn. "I told Reggie all about you, I think you two should meet him."

Flynn and Julie exchanged looks, neither of them had any interest in meeting whatever middle aged guy who worked at a yarn store. "Gee thanks tia," Julie said, though her voice was less than genuine. She did break out the yarn and started figuring out how to begin while Flynn did some hand knitting, being less adept with the needles.

Neither one of them thought about Reggie any more after that. Well not until Tia offered to bring them to the mall later as long as they accompanied her on a few errands first. "I'll even spot you lunch money," she enticed, so the girls agreed.

Sure errands weren't exactly exciting, but it meant they didn't have to take the bus, or worse, bike, and Julie genuinely did like spending time with her aunt. Every so often she would tell them stories of her time in Puerto Rico, of trouble she and Rose got into, her various jobs before ending up as a social worker.

"Last stop is the yarn store!" Tia exclaimed as she parked in front. "Do you girls want to come in?"

They shrugged and decided why not. Julie hadn't really gotten the hang of knitting, but Flynn turned out to be pretty good at the hand knitting thing, having made them both cute headbands which they were sporting from the yarn Victoria had bought them.

Inside smelled a little musty, and there was wall to wall yarn. Plus another wall full of various needles, as well as crochet hooks and other crafty supplies. "It's kinda underwhelming," Flynn commented.

"What were you expecting to see the sheep the yarn came from?" Julie snarked.

Flynn shrugged. "I mean, that would be way cooler than... this."

"It's not the most glamorous place, it's true."

The girls turned around to find a guy their own age standing there. A very very cute guy, with dark swoopy hair, a bevvy of golden freckles across his face, and jade green eyes. He had a faint blush to his cheeks as he sent them both a crooked grin. The girls clutched at each other's hands-woof that smile could make your heart go double time. And well, they had an agreement if they ever found a third...

"How can I help you beautiful ladies today? I'm Reggie by the way."

"Wait, you're Reggie?" Flynn shrieked.

He chuckled and ruffled his hair in the back. "Yeah, Reginald Peters, at your service." At that he gave a mock bow. "My mom was an Elton John fan, so blame him."

"I'm Julie, and this is Flynn. We're here with my aunt Victoria?"

"Oh Tia!" Reggie exclaimed, looking around for the woman who was standing back, looking a little smug as she took them in. "These are the girls you told me asked about the sweater curse?"

"Yes, though I doubt either one of them are making a sweater any time soon," Tia replied. "Plus LA weather and sweaters don't really mix."

Reggie shrugged at that. "I mean I only learned how to knit to make my boyfriend Luke beanies that he wears almost constantly. But he's also part Canadian, so who knows?"

"Reg!" came a voice from the door. "Sunshine of my life!"

"Back here Luke!"

At that another boy came in. A boy that had every bit of saliva in Julie's mouth dry up. From his sculpted arms to his boyish grin, to the way he gave her the once over before leaning in to peck Reggie's cheek. Then whispered in his ear, something that made Reggie blush and glance quickly at both Julie and Flynn.

Flynn who was shooting Julie a knowing look, and grinning. Hey, whatever made her girl happy, Flynn was here for. Plus given Luke was sporting a Pride pin and a Rush shirt, she felt they would get along just fine.

Victoria just stood back and took the teenagers all in and smirked. She knew it was a good idea to bring the girls here. Sure it looked like there may be a few shifts in the status quo between these two couples, but she knew it would all work out for the best.

She also wondered what Luke and Reggie's favourite colours were so she could add to the scarves she was knitting-she had a feeling she would need to know come Christmas.

Turns out she was right. But then again, she always was.

Cafe/Diner AU and Regal Butterfly?

Willie smiles knowingly at the pouting couple standing in front of the counter.

"Flynn's on break, she'll be back in five."

"Nope, she's back now, she saw her partners sulking through the glass," Flynn says, popping up from where she'd been sitting on the floor—which she cleans, so like, fair—and Willie resists the urge to fist pump as her partners light up, because he so called that they were already a thing, and now a certain blond coworker owes him a date.

With a wingspan between 5-8 inches, the Blue Morpho Butterfly is one of the largest and most beautiful butterflies in the world. Indigenous cultures across the Amazon have revered the Morpho for centuries, believing them to be both wish granters and wardens of evil spirits. More recently, scientists have begun to study it's ability to reflect light, which could hold the key to new green technologies.

WIP Sunday! In the hopes that posting something about it forces me to get back to this one sooner rather than later.

“I suppose not,” Joshua says, back to his normal smirk. “And if I said ‘oh, that’s the only reason’ and left, what would you do then? You already knew about my ‘evil plan’ when you called me here.”

“I wanted to know what you wanted,” Shiki says. “That doesn’t mean I’d take any offer you made. Some things aren’t worth selling your soul for.”

“But apparently, some might be?” Joshua fiddles with his hair again. “We don’t actually do that, you know. It’d be a waste of a perfectly good soul.” Like Shiki cares? But Joshua just laughs and continues. “I admit, you have me curious. What kind of deal would you sell your soul for?”

She should tell him to knock it off. She should run. She should forget this whole stupid plan and tell Rhyme she was dumb for even considering it. (But Yamasaki’s Partner thought he should put the jacket back on. But even if it was cheating, it might be worth it, for Neku. But a favor for the evil plan just doesn’t feel right, after this many months.)

「Dream SMP Daemon AU 」

    ♫ WILBUR SOOT + CADENZA (WOOD MOUSE) ♫

Wood mice are a socially flexible, independent, highly adaptable species of rodent, able to call nearly anywhere - urban settings, gardens, moorland, woodland, grassland, and more - their home. They rapidly colonize new terrains and will make nests in underground tunnels, inside hollow logs, nesting boxes, or in dense vegetation. Individuals nest communally in winter, and males and females may group together when sleeping for warmth. In the spring, females usually take up their own home ranges and nest alone.

During breeding season, females become very territorial and defend their ranges from other females. However, mouse burrows likely survive from one generation to the next, being expanded upon and modified as needed, and there has also been instances of cooperative burrowing documented. Wood mice are also the only other animal apart from humans to place conspicuous objects (twigs, leaves, etc.) at key points in their territory, showing a remarkable aptitude for planning and problem solving.

These mice have many predators (foxes, weasels, cats, owls and kestrels), but they have many tactics at their disposal to ensure their well-being, safety, and survival, such as making impressive leaps to safety, or shedding the skin off their tails to escape predators. They don’t hibernate during winter, but they can enter periods of torpor if conditions get tough enough.

Dominant males may be aggressive, having been reported to chase and even kill juveniles. In addition, before mating, males produce a string of ultrasounds that may pacify the female, indicating these rodents are not averse to using force or other, more underhanded means of getting what they want.

Wilbur is ambitious, charismatic, and conniving, while Caddy represents his insecure, sensitive, self-aware side.

NAME MEANING A cadenza is a musical term with three separate meanings. The first is a parenthetical flourish in an aria or other solo piece commonly just before a final or other important cadence. The second is a technically brilliant sometimes improvised solo passage toward the close of a concerto. Finally, a cadenza can refer to an exceptionally brilliant part of an artistic or literary work.

Person A winning a costume contest with a costume that Person B handmade for them for literally anyone because it gave me FEELS.

Also for @jmrothwell who sent me the same prompt for Flynn/Anyone, because my first thought upon receiving this was immediately Flynn.

"You sure I look okay?" Julie asked, worrying her bottom lip.

"For the millionth time, yes," Flynn sighed, laying a gentle hand on her jaw. "Now stop stressing and let me finish your look."

"Thanks again for doing this for me," Julie said, "I know it's not exactly your scene."

"No," Flynn admitted. "But it's yours, and you're important to me, so this is important to me. Plus it gave me a chance to work with different materials."

Julie smiled and Flynn leaned in to give her a small kiss-enough to know she meant it, not enough to mar her lipstick. "For luck," Flynn whispered. "Now go kill that costume contest."

"I love you!" Julie called as she raced off towards the stage.

Flynn beamed, leaning back against a pillar. "I know babe." Even though Julie couldn't hear it, she knew her girlfriend felt it. She watched as the line of hopeful nerds went up to show off their outfits. Flynn barely recognized any of them, though she did clap for the well made cosplays and the few characters she knew.

Off to the side she saw the contest photographer take snaps of each entry, making sure to compliment them over little details, or just to make them smile. Flynn snickered as she noticed he was dressed in a Han Solo costume, a tiny stuffed Chewbacca doll peeking out of his bag, something he pulled out to make a small child in a very well made Leia costume.

It also didn't hurt that the guy was unfairly cute, his smile lighting up at every new photo he had to take. Flynn wondered if she could hit him up for a copy of Julie's outfit for her portfolio-and maybe a pic of the two of them. Because even if this wasn't Flynn's thing, she had gone all out on her own costume-the new live action Little Mermaid, turning the tail into a fashionable skirt.

Finally it was Julie's turn, and Flynn hooted as she came onto the stage in he Scarlet Scarab outfit, unfurling the wings and striking a pose as the crowd went crazy. Including the photographer who stared at Julie for a hot second, his jaw a little unhinged until finally he shook himself into attention, lifting his camera once more.

Julie rushed into Flynn's arms as she came off the stage, beaming. "Oh, did you hear the crowd? They loved it!"

"Told you not to stress," Flynn replied, resting their foreheads together. "You got first place in the bag."

"Excuse me?"

Both girls turned, seeing the photographer there, smiling shyly. "Hi, I just wanted to know if you wanted any of the pictures I got of you?" He then blushed an enticing pink colour as he rubbed the back of his neck. "I also got one of the two of you just now, it was such a lovely moment I had to capture it."

"I would love that," Julie replied.

"I was going to ask you to take a few of us anyways," Flynn added. "So this works out amazingly."

He handed over his card. "I'm Reggie, message me any time and I'll send over the photos, or arrange a photo shoot for you out of costume." He then stopped, paling, as if realizing what he had implied. "I don't mean like nudes or anything. Not that I judge you if you take those! I've done the odd boudoir shoot so I can't say anything!"

Julie giggled, then whispered to Flynn "He's adorable, even if he has a terrible case of foot in mouth disease."

"Luckily I like that in a guy," Flynn whispered back, then turned to Reggie. "We'll make sure to call you and we can figure out what kind of shot we want you to take then."

"O-okay," Reggie replied, blushing bright red again.

In the end, Julie was pretty hyped to have won the contest, and whooped at the gift card to her favourite restaurant that came with the cash prize. But she was more happy with the attention her costume got Flynn for future clients and the cute guy they were both intending on taking to that free dinner.

But next year? She was sure they would have to find a good group costume for the three of them.

 maybe their whole dynamic is built around jokingly flirting, so they just always assume that their flirts/compliments are all platonic and regal butterfly?

Heads up: this got VERY sensual

Julie's going to dissolve on the dance floor.

She never should've agreed to go clubbing, but you can only bow out so many times before it starts to look suspicious. Especially when your entire friend group likes to go almost every other weekend for one reason or another.

Now she's sandwiched between Reggie and Flynn and she can't tell if it's the bass pounding in her body or just raw desire.

It's mesmerizing, how they move in sync, with Reggie molded to her back and Flynn her front. Reggie's broad hands clutch Julie hips through the lattice siding of her dress, hot on her skin. His lips are dangerously close to her ear, and every short burst of his breath makes her shiver.

He's definitely hard and if Julie thinks about that too much she will combust.

Flynn isn't helping. Her palms are splayed on Julie's ribs, so so close to where Julie wants them as their bodies rock together. She looks striking in the neon lights, eyes popping against her glittery makeup as she flashes Julie a sultry smile. Their noses touch, and her breath is warm on Julie's lips. They're practically panting into one another’s mouths and it's only by some miracle that Julie hasn't moaned.

She really shouldn't have let them flirt their way into this situation, but Julie'd had a feeling that she'd succumb to something like this the second she'd agreed to come to the club. They're already incredibly flirty, and there's something about the scene.

Still, she never expected them to be this forward with her, and she should've worn different panties, apparently.

Reminding herself that it's simply supposed to be fun doesn't help. She's liked them way too much for too long and if she doesn't leave now she's going to do something stupid, like beg for a kiss or for someone to keep her or even just fuck her.

Julie squirms, but that only encourages them, and her eyes flutter shut as Reggie’s lips graze the spot behind her ear.

"Please…"

"Please what, babe?" Flynn says silkily, nuzzling their noses together, and Julie exhales shakily as something in her snaps.

"Don't…"

They release her, and even through the blur of unshed tears, she can tell they both have concern carved into their features.

"Should we go outside?" Reggie murmurs, so low it's nearly lost to the music.

Flynn nods, gently taking Julie's hand.

"Come on, Jules. It'll be easier to talk."

Julie numbly follows Reggie, feeling abruptly off-balance in her heels without both of them holding her, but Flynn keeps her from toppling over as they make their way through the throng of people and slip out the door.

They settle on top of a low concrete wall, pressed shoulder to shoulder with Julie still in the middle, but the breeze makes Julie shiver, regardless. Reggie and Flynn both shrug out of their jackets, with Reggie draping his across Julie's shoulders and Flynn laying hers in Julie's lap.

Julie sighs through a wan smile. "Thanks."

"Of course," Reggie replies earnestly, and she hears a warmer smile than hers in his voice as she snuggles into their jackets. "We can't have our girl getting cold."

She fights a fresh wave of tears.

"Am I, though? Your girl?"

Flynn covers Julie's hands with hers.

"Do you want to be? Because if you do, we'd take you in a heartbeat, babe."

Reggie hums in agreement, wiping a stray tear from Julie's cheek with his thumb.

"We've been trying to seduce you for ages. And kind of seduced each other along the way? But yeah. We really like you, Julie."

Julie swivels to fully gape at them both.

"Wh—but you've always flirted with me! You're both very flirty people! How was I supposed to know that it meant anything?"

"Flirting with intent is definitely different—" Reggie starts, and Flynn nods, jumping in.

"We don't dance with just anyone like that. We want you."

Julie huffs, furiously scrubbing the remainder of her tears away.

"You'll have to tell me exactly how. In great detail. Then I might forgive you for driving me crazy without ever directly saying anything!"

Reggie and Flynn exchange devilish grins.

"We can do that," they say, voices heavy with promise and more.

And Julie has to admit it's the perfect apology as she dissolves between them on a nice set of sheets.
