THE FINAL INSTALLMENT OF...
🖤 barber!mickey & (not so) shaggy!ian 🖤
oh wow oh wow, we made it to a whole freaking year of these barber boys! it's been such an anchor for me--i never missed a week!--& i will be so sad to see them go. but! i may have a lil surprise up my sleeve for (if all goes well) next week! see you then & thanks for reading! xx
here's the 52nd & final installment for this week's @galladrabbles prompt: rain by @mmmichyyy
catch up/read in full HERE -- now complete! [ read the whole shebang ON AO3 ]
- - - - -
Then again, the whole thing between them is batshit. Ludicrous, how a haircut by happenstance could help two tough guys from the shit side of the street find… well, that remains to be seen… 
But as Ian watches Mickey smile around steak and sour cream, he thinks that maybe he’s found someone to want all of him, all the fucked up versions that he is. 
Hopes that Mickey Milkovich, Master Barber could be someone who’ll stay for the shine, but also the rain. 
Sickness, health, all that shit.
Ian wipes the corner of Mickey’s mouth with his thumb and exhales.

Anyway, I hope this meets your expectations! I was listening to Little Girl Gone while writing this... for some reason it just fits plagas!Leon.
Tumblr media
“Honey, I’ve changed so much since I last saw ya.”
You open your eyes, finding yourself inside Leon’s cell. You dart your head around, looking frantically when you realize you’re chained to the chair, the same chair Leon had previously been chained to. You hear Leon chuckle, a low chilling sound as he walks up from behind you, taking long, slow strides. He turns to face you, you notice the black veins sprawling his body have gotten darker, his eyes more red. He grins as he kneels down to be at eye level with you, his four canine teeth noticeably sharp. He runs his tongue along his teeth.
“There you are, sweetheart. I didn’t think you’d wake up,” Leon says with a purr. 
Your eyes are wide, taking labored deep breaths before you attempt to struggle. Leon laughs, shaking his head.
“That won’t do you any good I’m afraid, but don’t worry, I’ll get you out of those chains so we can have some play time.”
Leon stands back up, walking back behind you. You hear him break the chains apart with his bare hands. You waste no time bolting out of the chair and to the door. No matter how much you pull, the door won’t budge. You turn around to find Leon standing directly behind you. He grabs you by the waist pulling you to him. You flail your arms at him, trying to fight him off. Out of the corner of your eye you see Bryan on the other side of the clear panel holding a clipboard, taking notes.
“Bryan?! Get me out of here! I’m trapped in here with him, please! He’s going to hurt me!”
Bryan lifts his head, shaking it, “the data you’ll provide from this is too valuable to pass up I’m afraid. We need to know if he’s capable of procreating with a un-infected human and what the offspring will look like.”
“WHAT?!” you scream, “Bryan have you lost your mind?!”
Completely ignoring your pleas, Bryan continues, “remember what we agreed on, Leon. You are not to infect her with the plaga until she gives birth. After that, you can do with her as you please.”
“I remember the agreement, you fucking prick,” Leon growls next to your ear before he licks your earlobe. 
“NO I DID NOT AGREE TO THIS BRYAN, YOU LET ME OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW!” you continue to scream as you try to fight Leon off.
Leon, however, is much more powerful than you; he bites into your shoulder and makes short work of pinning you to the floor, his hands gripping your jeans and ripping them off you, leaving you with your pair of lace panties. You attempt to crawl across the floor towards Bryan, but Leon drags you back by your hips. Leon flips you over to face him, caging you with his body. He simply stares down at you, his smile wide. You watch as drool drips from his face onto your shirt, which he promptly rips apart to reveal your matching bra to him.
“Aren’t you just delicious to look at?” Leon says, licking his lips before locking his lips onto yours in a hungry kiss. 
To your horror, you’re returning his kiss, his hands grasping to both of your breasts. He pulls away after a couple minutes, sitting on his haunches as he pushes your legs apart, noting the dark spot that is now on your panties.
“Oh? You don’t want this? Then tell me why you’re so fucking wet, sweetheart?”
Leaning forward, he grabs your panties with his teeth, dragging them off you before tossing them aside. He then begins undoing the belt on his pants; before long he is pulling his hardening cock from his pants. He wastes no time climbing back on top of you, pushing himself inside you balls deep with ease. 
When the head of his cock kisses your cervix, your eyes roll into the back of your head as you let out a soft moan. Leon growls, thrusting into you with an insatiable ferocity, causing you to grip his arms, scratching into them with your nails. You felt like he was fucking you for an eternity when he let’s out another growl, pressing into you as deep as he could possibly go. You feel your cunt clamp around his cock, milking his cum into your body.
Leon stares back down at you, his eyes and grin wide as he laughs maniacally.
Tumblr media
You wake up screaming, covered in sweat and tears streaming down your face. You take deep breaths, laying your hand on your chest to ground yourself.
It was just a nightmare.
Once you get yourself calm, you climb out of bed and go into the kitchen of your apartment, making yourself coffee and some toast for breakfast. Afterwards, you get ready for work and head out the door. On your way, you decide to stop at the pharmacy. Walking the aisles, you find the feminine hygiene products, grabbing an ovulation test off the shelf and paying for it. Once you get to HQ, you trap yourself into one of the bathroom stalls, taking the test and waiting for the results. You watch in horror as a little smiley face shows up on the little screen, confirming your hypothesis.
You collect yourself before briskly walking into Bryan’s office. You don’t knock, you simply push the door open aggressively, startling both Bryan and the researcher he’s meeting with, you think his name is Pierce.
“I am not going back down there, Bryan,” you say sternly. 
Pierce shifts uncomfortably in his seat before standing up to leave, “I’ll go check on the camera feed downstairs.”
You and Bryan stare at each other as the door swings shut. Bryan rubs his eyes.
“Not this again, I’m sorry but I need you to go down there, you’re still the only one Leon talks to. Is this about what happened yesterday? I assure you, we have taken extra precautions to ensure that doesn’t happen again.”
You stomp up to Bryan’s desk, slamming the positive ovulation test onto the desk. Bryan looks down at the test before looking at you and raising an eyebrow.
“The fuck is this?” he asks.
“I’m ovulating, this is why Leon keeps saying I smell good and wants to practically throw himself on me whenever I’m down there.”
“That’s absurd.”
“Can you think of a logical explanation, then? I’m all ears.”
“This is not up for debate, you are going to continue working with Leon; that’s an order!”
Suddenly, the lights go dim before red emergency lights come on followed by a loud, screeching alarm.
“What the hell?!” Bryan exclaims, looking around confused.
You’ve never heard this alarm during your entire time at D.S.O., you rack your brain around what it could mean when suddenly, Pierce bursts into the office.
“Pierce! What the hell is going on out there?!” Bryan asks.
“Kennedy’s escaped, sir!”
Tumblr media
Leon opens his eyes and lifts his head, looking around his cell. Deep down he was seething in rage; he had gotten so close to getting out of this chair and having his way with you. Now, his chair had reinforced steel plating welded to it and they strapped a god damn muzzle onto his face. He could see he now had two men with guns guarding the door at all times. 
Fucking beautiful.
He tested the chains again, but found they had been tightened recently, angering him even more. He couldn’t stop thinking about you and hoped he would see you today. He hated the thought of you seeing him like this, but he desperately wanted to see you and inhale your sweet, sweet scent.
Out of nowhere, an excruciating pain jolts down Leon’s spine, causing him to cry out and writhe in his chair. His four canine teeth grow sharper, his fingers turning black and now taking on a claw-like appearance and a new, sharp appendage was peaking out of his lower back. The guards turned around to look at Leon. They immediately unlock the door and come into this cell to check on him. Leon stops writhing, slumping over in his chair, pretending to be passed out. One guard stays by the door, facing away from them while the other comes over to check on Leon, checking the chains to make sure they’re in place.
Unbeknownst to the guard closest to Leon, Leon’s new tail was extending from his back, coming around from behind the guard. It was very similar to a scorpion’s tail, but instead of a barb on the end, it looked like a blade. Within an instant, Leon’s tail wraps around the guard’s neck, snapping it instantly as four claw-like appendages burst from Leon’s back, breaking the chains holding his arms in place. Hearing the other guard fall to the floor the other guard turns around only to be faced with Leon, who is now up out of his chair and walking towards him, ripping the muzzle off his face, flashing a maniacal grin at the guard. The guard goes to shoot Leon but Leon is much faster, his tail whipping forward and impaling the man in the chest before flinging him aside. 
Leon strides out of his cell, looking down the hallway to see a pair of researchers coming down the hallway. Upon seeing Leon out of his cell, they start shouting at each other and turn to run in the opposite direction. Leon smiles, breaking into a sprint. He leaps, pinning one researcher to the ground with his body while his tail grabs the other by the waist, lifting him into the air.
“Where is she?!” Leon asks with a growl to the researcher he has pinned to the floor.
“Where’s who?!” the researcher stutters.
“Don’t play dumb with me! Where is she?!”
“Up-Upstairs! In Br-Bryan’s office!”
Leon’s mouth clamps down onto the researcher's neck, ripping out his throat as his tail squeezes the other until his spine snaps, falling to the floor as Leon lets him go. At that moment, all the lights dim before red emergency lights come on. Leon breaks back into a sprint to the elevator however, it was not working no matter how many buttons he pushed. He uses his tale to rip a hole into the ceiling, leaping up into it and climbing the elevator shaft. 
Once he reaches the top, he pries the elevator door open, swinging down, landing gracefully in the hallway. People are scrambling to get away from him, bumping and tripping over each other to run down the hallway. Leon’s red eyes scan the area, however, he sees no sign of you. More guards with guns show up, firing at him. His tale whips forward, deflecting their bullets with ease as he lunges forward. He impales one operative with his tail while his hand thrusts through the chest of another, gripping the man’s still beating heart in his claws before crushing it.
“Take her and get out of here!” he hears a man yell from down the hallway.
Leon’s attention is immediately drawn to the man that yelled, immediately recognizing him as Bryan. At one time, he liked the man, a brilliant scientist. Too bad he has to die. Leon watches as Bryan pulls out a pistol, firing shots at him. Again. Leon’s tail and back claws deflect the shots as he stands face to face with Bryan, his tail whipping around and decapitating the man with ease. He brings his tail’s blade to his lips, licking off the blood as he proceeds to walk down the hallway towards the entrance of HQ. 
A researcher is leading you out the front door, shoving you through the door with his back turned to Leon. He’s about to head out himself before Leon’s tail goes straight through his chest. Leon hears the man’s death gurgles as he flings him behind him, his body falling about 20 feet away with a loud thud. 
And there you are, cowering in the entry vestibule, your eyes locked on him, looking up and down his body. Leon straightens out his posture in hopes of making himself alluring to you, his tail whipping back and forth while his back claws flex. 
“Do you actually think you can escape me?” Leon coos, watching as you press your back as hard as you can into the glass doors as he comes closer.
“You never will, my love.” he continues with a grin, licking his sharp canines.
You stumble out of the door, bolting into the street and running as fast as you can to your car.
“I will find you.”

Tumblr media
↠ I do not interact with minors. It's not safe in these woods.
↠ I do not consent to having my works translated or posted to other platforms. If I wanted to, I would.
↠ I will block at my own discretion. This is my forest, and I set the boundaries. Underage? Blocked. Pornbot pigeon? Blocked. Bigotted? Blocked. Rude? Blocked. Just be a reasonable human over the age of 18, and you'll be free to roam the woods.
Tumblr media
↠ ASKS Always open. I adore asks! Send thoughts, thots, questions, gifs, pics... For now I'll take anonymous asks - as long as everyone plays nice, it'll stay that way. Asks are NEVER a bother and you can ask about anything - questions about my existing works, stuff I'm working on, fandom things, my life... I'll answer within reason (no spoilers, I'm semi-open about my life but do keep some things private, etc).
↠ REQUESTS The only thing I'm actively entertaining requests for is my Cedar Trees Royal AU collection - but even these will be fulfilled subjectively and only as I have time and muse cooperation. Periodically I may host a request fest (as I did for my 300 follower celebration or for other occasions in the future).
↠ TAGLIST At this point in the growing season, I'm not maintaining an official taglist. In the future I will probably set up a secondary/library blog as many other authors have done where you can follow and turn on the notifications. There are only so many hours in the day, explorers.

Tumblr media
↠ HISTORY OF ASPEN I grew up in a family that was steeped in all things stories: grandparents, aunts and uncles always telling stories at family gatherings; parents read to me before bed; watching too many movies and cartoons; staying up way past my bedtime trying to sneakily keep the light on to read and read and read; playing elaborate imagination games after school with my best friends (house, princesses, orphans, dance coaches, etc). I wrote my first story in my eighth grade English class where one day in the computer lab we were assigned to write a mystery that was at least one page. I loved it. My teacher said it was good...
That summer our family moved - mere days before I started my freshman year of high school - so that fall before I made friend friends, I read a lot and I started writing. I was desperate for the next Harry Potter book to come out, so I started writing my own... the next year I learned about fan fiction on the internet and that it was a thing. I was drawn into Lord of the Rings fanfic, then I wrote a Pirates of the Caribbean fanfic, and then I went back to Harry Potter and actively wrote in that fandom for around six years.
In college I majored in English with an emphasis in Creative Writing because while I was writing fan fiction, I was also occasionally dabbling with original fiction... the dream was to be a famous writer.
↠ WHY BUCKETS-AND-TREES Buckets because I thought I'd be writing almost exclusively Bucky and Trees because Aspen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 
↠ ASPEN NOW In summer of 2022 I aggressively reclaimed HAVING hobbies in an effort to re-establish Aspen having a life outside of work. I love my career and I've worked incredibly hard to establish myself in the professional world, but... I needed to be more than just my work again.
So, again I write.
Throughout 2023 I'm participating in A LOT of challenges. In 2024 I plan to DO THE DAMN THING and write a novel. I've always intended to, but 2024 will be the year. ↠ MY WORK Primarily I'm writing MCU fan fiction - typically Bucky Barnes or Steve Rogers; but I have a short series for Namor I need to finish; I have written some pieces with Sam, Natasha, Matt Murdock, and Wanda; I have ideas in the works for Thor, Carol, and M'Baku. I've written/may write more for Sebastian Stan and Chris Evans characters. There may be some occasional Harry Potter.
I write a range of fluff, smut, and dark. Nearly all of my work has mature elements whether that's stronger language, sexual situations, or mature themes. HEED THE WARNINGS FOR EACH WORK AND DO NOT READ IT IF IT'S SOMETHING YOU DON'T LIKE. If I miss tagging something properly in the content warnings, please send me a message or an anonymous ask and let me know.
Most of my stories feature a reader insert. Reader is typically female, but when the reader is gender neutral I will designate accordingly! Striving to write an inclusive reader as much as possible, but if I stumble, please send me a message or an anonymous ask and let me know how I can grow.

i’m so glad i found your post on luke getting electrocuted. I’ve ALWAYS been insanely turned on by that for pretty much the same reasons you said, and I’ve never seen anyone anywhere openly talk about this ever (considering how massive SW is you’d think there’d be at least one out there somewhere). is there anything else you wanted to say about it and how/why you love it? any other weird unorthodox movie moments that turn you on?
not asking to be weird or perverted, i just love to finally have an outlet to express similar but very niche interests
Hey friend! Thanks for this ask! I love asks and yours is a fun one. First of all, if you haven't explored it already, you may enjoy my tag #he suffers so beautifully, which is pretty much all the Luke Skywalker pain in one place. I have another one #bruised battered bleeding where you may also find some yummy Luke...
I actually took a long time to start reblogging Luke in pain images and gifsets (and some I still don't) because they really sort of hurt my heart, no matter how fabulous Mark looks all contorted and wounded. I'm not a huge fan of whump actually, despite those tags ahahah. Don't really read it and you still won't find a lot of "off with his hand" scenes in my archive, for example. But you make an excellent point--some actors are just sexy when they suffer and there ain't nothing wrong with that.
I think one reason some people (yourself included) may find the electrocution scene so much of a turn on is how those muscle spasms, "o" faces, scrunched-up eyes, tousled hair and jerking hips give us a dark/warped mirror to the erotic throes of orgasm. Someone flailing around so elegantly, those long fingers, those tightly-clad legs....yeah.... Sigh.  There’s a reason it’s called la petite mort, you know? 😈
Tumblr media
Anyway, definitely don't feel weird or perverted about being into it. I get it. There are whole dissertations about how horror movies, for example, are these psychosexual outlets--examining the penetration of knives as phallic metaphor, etc etc and so forth... Lots of logical connections between agony and ecstasy, in other words.
Also, and I have discussed it here before, the "I am a Jedi" Death Star scenes are really the crowning hotness of all the Luke scenes in the trilogy. Like I don't know how everyone on set kept from creaming their pants that day/those days. Mark looks SO ridiculously sexy both before and after he's zapped, it honestly doesn't surprise me at all that the zapping also is melting everyone's butter.
Tumblr media
LOOK AT HIM was grief ever so sexy?!
Tumblr media

As for other weird movie moments that turn me on, I am a sucker for the blood-spattered hero. I mean, Kevin Costner in Dances With Wolves? Mel Gibson in Braveheart?  I’m dating myself but cut me some slack hahaha
Tumblr media
These are dudes who take a lickin' and keep on lookin' lickable muwahahah. So Mark in that bacta tank, absolutely. I even commissioned art for that to have him super 美少年.
I think part of the attraction to these moments is they humanize our larger-than-life heroes, and they look so good doing it...It's like the old anime cliche of that single line of blood on the cheek. Our gods bleed, and that makes them attainable. Or something like that. I'm on a tangent now.  But cinema is full of heroes that only get sexier the more they suffer and angst, so it’s a logical and very understandable kink, imo.  Thank you for this ask anon, and I’m so happy I have content that will feed that thirst for suffering Luke.... I hope you enjoy exploring that tag on my feed and thank you for being a tumblr buddy!

Sly like a... ? part 11
Tumblr media
[Full Masterlist] Beta: n/a (at the moment) Rating: All (Marked Chapters 18+) Pairing: Hybrid!BTS x FailedHybrid!Reader Genre: Hybrid au, fluff, action, adventure, angst, drama, slice of life. Some marked chapters will contain mature/smut scenes, BUT they will not have plot in those scenes and are 100% skippable without losing your place in the story.
Summary: Human’s strive to be better, faster and stronger looking to animal DNA. Thus Hybrids are born. As the rise for designer and Pedigree Hybrids increase, so do the failed attempts. There is one species scientists are unsuccessful in creating, but, folklore says they have been here all along, hiding and blending in with the humans for many millennia. How clever they are.
[First] [Prev] [Next]
Tumblr media
‘No girls or Jungkook’s allowed! ’
The sign on the door filled you with so much anger. You had to physically remember to breathe, it wouldn’t do to start yelling at the hybrids, they already felt inferior and vulnerable compared to humans. You never wanted them to feel weak, which is why you were mad. You didn’t care if they wanted to exclude you, but you would give the two young men a strong lecture for even thinking about excluding Jungkook.
“Jimin and Taehyung I would like to talk with you,” you ripped the sign down and tore it up. It would be best to dispose of the evidence before the young man saw it. Seeing his hyungs ignoring him would break him, “If you are upset talk to me and I will try to fix the situation.”
There was no response so you sighed walking away pushing the small lump in your throat down, you heard them whispering and thought maybe they needed time. It was after lunch that you began wondering if they planned to lock themselves up all day. Jungkook sat on the soft rug looking at the video games and he smiled setting up the controllers as he looked between two games.
“Which one do you think is better?” Jungkook asked Seokjin who took one of the controllers and smiled, he read both and grinned and you stepped over sitting on the floor picking up a controller.
“I can play right, I think Jimin and Taehyung are talking about some things,” You smiled, nuzzling his hair for a second and leaning back on Seokjin’s legs. “So what are we playing, I have never played before?”
Namjoon ended up joining and Yoongi took a seat on your spare side on the rug and leaned on one of Seokjin’s legs laughing at your expense. “You missed, he was right there and you missed, he shot you,”
“Look, I am a Minecraft kind of videogamer, you know the sims?” You puffed your cheeks flailing as you tried to shoot Namjoon who was doing a lot of shouting and not a lot of aiming either.
Everyone was in stitches. You almost forgot about the other two boys who were feuding with you. It was late and you had played a series of driving and shooting games and a game of Minecraft; where you all made a village and lived side by side and visited each other's houses with food and tools.
“I am hungry,” Jungkook pouted, pulling your sleeve and glancing at the dark kitchen. You looked at the time, and your mouth dropped open. “When is dinner?”
“Let’s order in, I can’t be bothered cooking,” You ordered a bunch of food, making sure to get Jimin and Taehyung’s favorite dishes so that you could lure them out. They would no doubt be hungry.
The food was delivered and as you removed the lids you named the dishes loudly hoping the two locked away in their room would emerge and eat something.
It’s super effective!
You smile as everyone digs in. The two boys were obviously mad and jealous that you had slept in Jungkook’s room and you wondered how you would possibly be able to fix this.
“I will take Wednesdays,” Yoongi smiled “I like Wednesdays”
“What is he talking about?” Hoseok asked he was just as confused by the white tiger's outburst looking towards Namjoon who with a mouth full of noodles shrugged.
“Sunday’s you can sleep in Jungkook’s room, and mine on Wednesdays,”
“Oh I will take Monday’s” Hoseok smiled, brightly
“Monday is tonight” Jimin accused looking panicked, “fine, I will take Tuesday then”
“Can you sleep in my rooms on Wednesday?” Taehyung said,
“Wednesday is already taken,” Yoongi glared, placing some meat on Taehyung’s plate in an attempt to console him, “Take Thursday”
“Yes Thursday”
“I will take Saturday,” Jin grinned, “Which means Namjoon is Friday? Is that alright?”
You blinked watching this all unfold, they had just decided on their own sleep schedule for you. It was nice to see them working together but you didn’t know how to feel about moving rooms every night. But at this point, anything seemed more comfortable than the couch. “Maybe once and when I have stayed once in everyone's rooms, I will go back on the couch.”
“What if two people share a room and have bunk beds or something, then that leaves a free room for you?” Jimin said, grabbing some tteokbokki, “I can share with Hoseok or Taehyung or Jungkook, I can give you my room. It can be your own little space.”
“Oh, my room! My room!” Hoseok said, “I miss the sound of other people in the night, we can get bunk beds.”
Hoseok and Jimin grinned at one another, the two already talking about how they would design and decorate their room. Heading into the bathroom you cleaned up the clothes off the floor and dumped them in the hamper. It made you laugh how comfortable they were all getting enough to drop their clothes on the floor right beside the hamper.
Taking a rather warm shower you scrubbed your skin wondering if you would smell different again in the morning. It was a strange thought, once scrubbed and buffed clean you wrapped yourself in your towel and stood on the small mat in front of the basin. Examining your appearance, as you slowly moisturize your skin.
Whilst smoothing the cool night cream across your brow you thought you saw an orange tail in the mirror turning you thought Seokjin had burst into the bathroom to pee but when you turned nothing and nobody was there.
It left you feeling a little unsettled, it was your head playing tricks on you. Getting dressed you all but ran out into the hall smacking into Seokjin who was coming out of his room. You grasped his large shoulders to prevent yourself from falling back. He gripped your waist in response.
“Woah, what’s wrong, why are you scared?” He asked, his tail fluffed and his ears twitching looking for a threat. A few heads popped out of their rooms, “You reek of fear, what happened?”
“I spooked myself, one of the towels moved in the bathroom and I thought it was something else and I got scared, that’s all” Your voice died off with your rambling, and the blush settled upon your cheeks.
Hoseok walked over and took your hands, “don’t worry, you are staying in my room tonight so I will protect you!” His chipper tone did wonders to ease your distress, pulling you along to his room where he tucked the two of you into the bed.
“Thank you, I miss having people to talk to and just be there,” He smiled, “I am excited to get to stay with Jimin, he is such a nice guy.”
“He is a sweetheart when we were little we used to play together and he always wanted to play pirates and superheroes but on my 4th birthday no one from our school showed up to my princess party. So Jimin dressed up as a princess as did my carer Felix and his carer Astrid and we all shared snacks and cake”
“YOU SAID YOU WOULDN'T TELL ANYONE!” Jimin’s voice screeched from the hallway seconds before rapid footsteps. His figure appeared in the doorway for a split second, his sock-clad feet slipping out from underneath him sending him sliding further down the hallway.
“I have pictures too,” You giggled
“Send them to me.” Yoongi’s tired drawl came from a few rooms up and you grinned airdropping them around the house. Jimin tried to wrestle the phone from your hands and you grinned, pulling him onto the bed.
“Time for bed Jimin, lay down or get out.” he indeed snuggled up on your other side, Hoseok and Jimin's arms wrapped around you and you were indeed feeling quite safe from your previous scare.

Happy 2021 Everyone!
Time for my 2020 wrap-up post, it’s been a wild year! Thank you all for being part of it, the Witcher fandom has been a wonderful bright spot for me in an otherwise very stressful 2020.
At this time last year my husband was making vague noises about a show on Netflix whose lead I might find attractive. I was too busy being a dad of two young kids and I hadn’t watched TV or movies for fuck-all since our eldest was born. Attention span, who dat? So it took about two months of him mentioning this show repeatedly and with increasing pointedness for me to finally fire up the first episode. 
Boy howdy, what an experience. The Witcher was a wild ride from start to finish. I could not get Geralt out of my head after I saw it, he just lived there rent-free from that point onward. Did I know that thicc thighs could be so compelling? No, but consider me EDUCATED. It got to the point where I was actually laying awake at night thinking about Geralt the world of the Witcher, so totally curious about what other lore there was and what other people might be saying about it that I finally caved and started looking for memes. 
This is where Tumblr comes in.
Through the echo chamber of the internet I came pretty quickly to the realization that all the good memes were just being copied from Tumblr, a site that I had literally never heard of much less logged into. From there I discovered SO MUCH CONTENT. You all are seriously heroes up in this fandom, creating as much wonderful stuff as you do. I have never lacked for goodies to reblog, the talent and thoughtfulness and sheer creativity of you folks is AMAZING.  (Cut because this gets long, lots of love behind the tag.)
I started reading fic again for the first time since the ‘00s, when life events sort of carried me out of the LOTR fandom and into a great fandomless wilderness. I even made friends! @stressedspidergirlsfandomblog was the first person to really interact with me on Tumblr, and they’ve turned out to be a really fantastic friend. Anytime I see them pop up on my phone I’m like !! Oh boy!! It’s The Friend Again!!
I also bonded with @geraltsays , Mo, my boo, my partner in thirst crimes, and all-around one of the sweetest actual people. You’re my apple a day too, bb!
Then there’s all the wonderful people knocking around the fandom who light up my day with their awesome content: @rawrkinjd, @vands88, @valdomarx , @witcher-and-his-bard , @stressedspidergirlsfandomblog, @west-moor, @writinglizards, @frostedbasilisk, @laurelnose, @inber, @julek, @vvitchering and SO MANY MORE.
Plus. The people who pop on my dash? Y’all are immaculate. @reinvent-and-believe, @shortof-amarble, @alwaysfoolsparsley, @dapandapod, @lesdemonium, and more, thank you for making my 2020 fun :)
Also thanks to the Witcher fandom, I’ve even made it onto Discord! Y’all are the actual best and I am so happy to know all of you. @dhwty-writes, @thevalesofanduin, @petrificustotaluss,  @love-and-cubs-and-white-wolves, @lohrendrell , @geraskier-trashh , @elliestormfound, @hailhailsatan, @geraltrogerericduhautebellegarde, @jaskierswolf, and so many more, you have made my days and nights so fun and full of happiness this year!
If you haven’t made it onto one list or another here, fear not! I still think you are an awesome content creator/great to talk to on Discord/love having you on my dash!! I just like... didn’t want to tag you three times and started flailing wildly. Just know that you, YES YOU, have made my 2020 wonderful.
Stumbling into this fandom has been the single best thing to happen to me last year. Thank all of you for making this an inspiring, silly, smutty, awesome year. May 2021 be so much better. <3

2019 Writer’s Round-Up
I was tagged by @elveny - thanks a lot.  I was going to do a December fanfic round-up, but I didn’t publish anything in December due to work (it is very hard to do personal writing when you have documentation deadlines).  So this will suffice! 
I’m leaving an open tag cause I think everyone else who has done this has tagged everyone I know.  I don’t really know a whole lot of other people haha!  (i’m still new here, I feel).
Word count
I still feel like such a newb, hopping onto the Theron Shan x female!Jedi Knight crazy train, but it’s been a whole lot of fun being here.  Looking at the word counts according to AO3, here are the following word counts.
First we have 6,968 in Vignettes of Misadventure and Serendipity, or as I would also call it, all the tumblr prompts that were not eventually part of Countdown.
What I’m most proud of is the 23,951 in Countdown, my chaptered fic set in the Rise of the Emperor storyline.
Then came Fictober 2019 and the 19,712 there in Shananigans and other Tales.  There is some overlap with words between this one and Countdown but not a whole lot.
That all comes together to total approximately 50,631.  Not bad for only having started doing the thing this summer.
Number of smut scenes
1. Okay, no one has seen it yet, cause it is currently in process.  I’m working on it.  I had hoped to have it written by the end of the year, but I am angling towards end of January now.  It’s mostly notes and ideas at the present moment.  I am still counting it because I’ve written a lot around it.  
New things I tried this year
Writing fanfiction (again after 15 or so years) in general.  Such as:
Answering prompts and writing short little things. 
Actually starting a chaptered story and (almost) getting it done (just two chapters left... I can do it...)
Favourite thing I wrote this year
If I had to pick one - something I’m terrible about as it is - it would either be “I can’t come back.” or “We could have a chance.” from my Fictober 2019 endevour that I highly doubt I will ever be able to reproduce.  I’m also quite proud of Kira x Kolto antics from Countdown.
Favourite fic I read this year
I need to find more, but here’s my small offerings of favs.
The Man Behind The Mask by @meonlyred
By the Guidance of Stars by @greyias 
Kintsukuroi by @storyknitter
I’m sure there are others I’m forgetting.  I also really need to get better about comments and reblogs other than flailing madly that I cannot leave more than one kudos or likes.
Writing goals for 2020
Finish Countdown. I have two more chapters left and they are mostly written, just need bits and pieces to make them fully complete.  Then I can say I actually completed something!  Which is something I didn’t do when I did fanfiction back in the early 2000s.
Start a new chaptered fic.  Just gotta figure out which era of time.  I have a few options: Current/Onslaught era, Pre-Relationship (around the ‘street festival’ I wrote about in Fictober), or Traitor arc.  I’m not thinking I want to do the traitor arc though... at least, not yet.
Do more prompts.  Though I don’t always get a lot of them when i post up lists, so maybe I’ll need to anonymously prompt myself. 
Read more.  I want to find more stuff to read for inspiration.  More TOR, maybe some KOTOR, KOTOR II, even some Mandalorian stuff.  Branch out and maybe poke at some of the Dragon Age fics.  I’ve hesitated cause I don’t know/remember the lore even though I watched my husband play all three games.  
These are a lot of starting goals at least.  But knowing me, something else might distract me. (usually a five year old wanting me to play her new pokemon game with her).
Words of Thanks
If you had asked me this time last year if I’d be writing fanfiction (again) or even really sold into SWTOR, I wouldn’t have believed you.  Honestly, the community surrounding SWTOR and the fan works has been extremely amazing and I’m so glad I found y’all.  I’d been in a creative slump for months or even over a year and I just couldn’t climb my way out of it.  Til I allowed myself to discover Theron Shan and then eventually all of y’all.
I mostly want to thank @storyknitter for being an awesome sounding board for ideas, betaing my last chapter of Countdown, and sometimes just sillyness (and Troy Baker gifs).  Also for @greyias being super awesome and inspiring to get my start. 
And everyone else who has inspired and supported me breaking back into a world of creativity that I’d honestly worried I’d lost. Y’all are awesome.

Shot in the Dark: Interim- Chapter 5
Tumblr media
(IMPORTANT CHARACTER INTRO ALERT???
Also, please note that while this chapter is written in second person, it is not a reader-insert.
Don’t forget to LIKE, COMMENT and REBLOG!!!)
SHOT IN THE DARK MASTERLIST (find more stories here!)
~~~
You've never had a brother that you know of, but if you could name one person who would fill that role, it would be your cousin, Michael Bailey.
He was your cousin on Emma's side. Five years older than you, cool to kids and adults alike, Mike knew how to have fun without getting in trouble. It was partly for that reason that Emma and Damien liked to have him around to entertain you, you supposed. 
Mike's dad— Emma's older brother— had died in the War, so you never got to meet him. Mike never seemed put out about it, though. He always had a smile on his face and a joke to tell— something that you, a kid with no friends and few things to smile about, appreciated greatly.
When he was fifteen (three months after your tenth birthday, to be exact), he moved in with you, Emma, and Damien. You remember sitting on the stairs when you were supposed to be getting ready for school, listening to the three of them talk in the living room.
"You're welcome to stay as long as you want," Damien was saying. 
Mike murmured something, probably some sort of expression of gratitude.
Emma offered him breakfast. Mike refused politely, saying something about carsickness.
Damien asked Mike about his mother. He was being polite because Emma already knew— she was always taking care of her sister-in-law, the only family she had left— but Mike responded with the same information that you all knew already. Ellen was the same, still sick and getting sicker. You remembered the word typhoid being mentioned when they had spoken about it before.
You clung to the banister, pondering. Why did adults find it necessary to talk about things they already knew? Wouldn't it be a better use of their time to ask things they didn't know?
Footsteps rattled the staircase, and you watched a head of tight orangey-red curls turn the corner at the landing.
Mike stopped when he saw you, sitting on the stairs, still in your bedclothes.
For a moment you stared at each other. His fine eyebrows were raised, making his pale blue eyes seem almost silver. Your eyes were dark as ever and mostly hidden, strands of coal black hair curtaining your face. 
Then Mike grinned. His skinny arms were strained from holding his suitcase. "Hey, squirt."
Uncle Abe called you squirt, too. Mike had started doing it only recently, probably trying to mimic him, and you supposed that was alright. You’ve been called worse. 
Emma came up behind Mike. Her eyebrows shot up when she saw you. "Liam, honey, your uncle will be leaving for work soon. Did you want me to drive you instead?"
Slowly, you shook your head. You wordlessly stepped down and pulled Mike's suitcase from his hand and took it up the rest of the stairs to the spare room, then sat on the bed.
He didn't seem bothered by your presence. He was wearing nice pants and a sweater vest with a blue jacket with patches on the elbows, kind of like how Damien dressed on Saturdays, except Damien was strong and had a big rib cage while Mike was all arms and legs.
Mike took off his jacket and draped it over your head, prompting a quiet giggle and a flail, resulting in the jacket ending up on the floor instead.
He laughed, too, ruffling your mop of hair like everyone else seemed to like to do. "Doncha have school, kid?" he said, opening his suitcase on the bed next to you.
You got up on your knees to see if he brought you anything. "Nuh-uh," you said, although that wasn't exactly true. You would just ask Damien to stop by your school after work and get your homework from your teacher.
Mike grinned. He knew what you were up to. "Just wanted to spend time with your favorite cousin, huh?"
"You're my only cousin," you pointed out, reasonably enough. "Except if Emma and Damien have a baby."
"But then the kid'd be your sibling, right?"
You paused. "... I guess."
Emma and Damien had become your legal guardians a little under five years before, but you still didn't really think of them as your parents. They'd never tried to make you call them "Mom" and "Dad", didn't even make you call them "Aunt" and "Uncle" (but you did anyway). They were just kind of… there. They took care of you, clothed you, fed you, taught you manners and morals the best that they could, helped you with homework and played with you when they had the time.
You liked them a lot. Maybe you could even love them, someday.
But would a child of theirs really be your sibling?
"You're thinking pretty hard there, kid," Mike pointed out, carefully placing a stack of folded shirts in the dresser. He sat on the bed next to you and kicked off his shoes.
You nodded thoughtfully. You did think a lot. Emma always said it was because you were so smart. Damien said it was because you were wise.
You didn't really like how much thinking you did. It got noisy.
"Hey, Liam. Gotcha something."
Said something gently tapped the top of your head. You looked up and it gently smushed your nose instead.
"A book?" you wondered.
Mike dropped the item in your lap. "It's a new journal. Auntie said that yours was almost full. You good at writing?"
You shrugged.
"You like writing?"
This time, you nodded. Reading and writing was as natural to you as breathing.
"How much you write a day?"
"Two thousand words." You’re not quite sure how you know that but it sounds correct. 
"Two-thousand? A squirt like you?" You frowned up at him, and he smiled sheepishly. "Sorry. Just teasin'. Writing is good, good for your brain."
Emma said that too, sometimes. She was always pleased to see you writing in your journal. Did she put Mike up to giving you a new one?
"Why didn't Emma give me this herself?" you asked curiously. 
Mike's smile wavered, then turned into a scowl. You opened your mouth to apologize but he shook his head. "Nah, kid, Auntie didn't tell me to get this for you, I just— I wanted to, y'know?" He rubbed the back of his neck. "Gosh, man. Don't your friends ever give you stuff?"
You stared at him blankly, and his frown deepened. But he didn't look angry at you, or at anything really. It was more like when Damien was worried about something. His forehead went all scrunchy and one corner of his mouth leaned to the side while the other stayed in place.
"Don't you have friends at school?" he tried again.
You shook your head slowly. You spent your class time doing your work, and recess reading and writing. You didn't have the time nor desire to spend time with other kids— You never knew how to act with them, anyway, and they didn't know what to do with you either. Best not to bother.
Mike didn't say anything more about it, but when Emma came to the room to check on him and was clearly about to scold you for delaying, he smiled and said, "Actually, I was wondering if he could stick around, just for today. I know you and Uncle need to work so… I thought maybe he could show me around. Keep me company, y'know?"
Your eyes darted between the two. Mike didn't need to be shown around. He'd spent plenty of time here. Did he really want to spend the day with you?
Emma's lips twisted around, like they always did when she was thinking. But then she looked at you, and a smile flitted across her face. "Just for today, understand?"
"Yes ma'am," you said, at the same time that Mike said "Thanks, Auntie."
You grinned, ducking your head. Emma and Mike laughed.
You'd never had someone around all the time, someone who wasn't an adult.
It took some getting used to.
But… it was nice.

T. Seguin - Back Road Part 2
Tumblr media
Author’s Note: This fic has been in the works since JULY, it is now January of 2019. Just so you guys know how slow and hard this has been (that’s what she said). It would not have been possible without various drunken nights on my part and encouraging text messages on @hockeyandtaylorswift ‘s part-  and all of the lovely tags that people created when they reblogged the first part. I read every single one of the tags that anyone makes when they reblog any of my fics and they keep the content coming (PSA I’m sure all fic writers will tell you the same thing. Tags, comments etc spark the muse for real), so thank everyone who ever wrote anything nice about it, I love you. As a caveat, this one is 20 pages long. Go to the bathroom, grab a snack and a blanket, and settle in for the long haul. It’s also smutty. Are we back to using the term *LEMONS* now to fight the Tumblr bots? Am I showing my age? Yes, to both. 
Part 1
He really takes your teasing in stride, which is awesome, since that's the kind of person you are.
He almost seems to revel in it.
After you sprung that kiss on him and all but slammed your door in his face, he was quick to text you when he got back to his place:
Tyler: Well, my ego is in shreds, but aside from that I'm home safe
was the exact text you got, but close enough.
If you were worried that his chase would be over the second you showed any interest, that text certainly helped calm your nerves.
It turns out that where previous guys all maintained a cool indifference and responded only when you initiated, Tyler was the opposite. He text you almost daily after your movie date. A picture of a dog here, his breakfast there, and best of all there was no shortage of selfies, a truly amazing perk. What a face on that man, honestly.
You never stopped teasing though, because, quite frankly it was nice to be pursued and you were more than a little gun-shy of getting in too deep.
___________
After constant texts back and forth for a week following your date, your nerves had calmed considerably. The chemistry was always there and he even started teasing back a little.
Tyler: You never send me any pictures. This is so one-sided.
You sorely hoped he wasn't asking for what you thought he was. You weren't sure you'd have the willpower to cut him out of your life if he was trying to solicit nudes.
Opting to be cheeky and hoping for the best, you sidle up to your fish’s tank and pucker your lips together, before taking a selfie with Brendan, the goldfish.
You: May all of your fishes come true.
When the tell-tale bubble appears to denote Tyler forming his reply, your heart patters double time in anticipation.
Tyler: That's the stuff I'm looking for 😁
Breathing out a sigh of relief, you're delighted that he's a gentleman and you're morally justified to continue this infatuation.
___________
It's been well over a week, closing in on two, and Tyler has texted lots. He even called once, from the grocery store to ask your opinion on cheez-its vs cheese-nips (cheez-its > cheese-nips, obviously).
He hasn't however, attempted to schedule another date. You're not sure why. He initiates texting and responds pretty quickly usually, aside from the odd early morning or late night text.
You're starting to get a little down on yourself about it until he sends you a picture of him in what is obviously the first-class area of a plane, followed by the message:
Tyler: I'll be home soon, what are you doing Thurs?
You nearly knock Brendan off the end table when you flail your legs in excitement that's decidedly uncool.
Tyler suggests a few date ideas before saying that you’re no help and telling you to wear jeans and closed toe shoes.
___________
When Thursday finally comes you slide back into those lived in jeans you love so much. In full honesty, you did go out and buy a new shirt and some cool slide on sneakers, so you're feeling pretty good about yourself when you're adjusting your hair in the mirror and there's a knock on your door.
You sprinkle a little food into Brendan's bowl as you pass through the living room and grab your keys to meet Tyler at the door.
“Trent! Good to see you,” you lock the door behind you and turn around and meet Tyler's eye with a big grin. He dips down, leaning in for a hug and a respectful peck on the cheek.
“Tear my heart out why don't you? A guy's liable to develop a complex.” The complex is short lived, you can tell since he snakes his arm around your waist and leads you to the flashy sports car that sits in front of your house.
“Where's your Jeep?” He smiles at you as he opens the car door and closes it, walking around the car getting into the driver's seat.
“You know how it is,” he buckles his seat belt and finishes, “boys and their toys.”
“Apparently,” you answer coolly, refusing to be charmed by a shiny, expensive car. What type of girl does he think you are?
Whatever type of girl he thinks you are is quickly what you're becoming as he parks outside of a ranch.
“Are we being real Texans today?” you ask, letting yourself out of the car before he can come around and open the door. He walks around anyway, grabbing your hand and continuing up the dirt road to the ranch.
“Yee-haw,” he says seriously, looking straight into your eyes, but his eyebrows rise to belie his voice.
You can't hold back the giggles that brings out, and let him half drag you the rest of the way through the dusty parking lot to the instructor, who's waiting in the stables.
___________
Overall you are a much better rider than Tyler.
You can see the instructor getting frazzled as she tries to get him to loosen his grip on the reins and to stop inadvertently signaling for the horse to start a trot with the way he's squeezing his calves around the animal’s sides.
After a small lesson in the paddock which easily takes twice the time it should, you're given the okay to take the trail. The horses seem to know the trail so you and Tyler are free to chat, side by side as your horses gently lead the way. Tyler's horse mostly ignoring the inexperienced rider on his back.
“I was worried you wouldn't say yes to me again,” Tyler looks over at you grinning and you can't tell if he's kidding or not; after all, it was you and not him who initiated physical intimacy on your last date.
“Why is that? I thought I made it pretty clear on my porch that I would be open to another date,” you will your cheeks to cool down, it seems just the memory of your mouth on his has you a little warm.
He smiles warmly at you, a little blush appearing high on his cheeks, “Oh, I remember,” he takes a breath before continuing, “but I've been pretty busy with work, ya know, out of town a lot. I wasn't sure if you were sick of waiting for me to be around. Barely got you to agree to the first date.” He must signal the horse to speed up in some way, which Buttercup does with ease. Tyler's face looks stricken for a second until the horse seems to remember who is sitting in the saddle. She slows down to allow you and Spirit to catch back up.
You're laughing, hunched forward on Spirit, Tyler's panicked face burned into your brain.
“ 's not funny,” he's visibly trying to relax, since Buttercup is feeding off of his nerves.
“It so is,” you make out between giant gulping breaths while wiping the tears from your eyes. Spirit has finally caught up with Buttercup and Tyler's pout has subsided.
“Why couldn't you pick something that I'm better at. Let me impress you and feel manly?” You laugh again before reminding him that he's to blame for today's activity.
“Yeah, but I only picked this because you said that you like horses and haven't been riding since you moved here,” he gets a little line between his eyebrows as he scrunches them up and mock anger.
“Well, at the very least, I am impressed by your listening abilities,” you nod primly and he gives you a cheesy grin, before he agrees that he'll take whatever win he can get.
You can see the ranch through the trees and it seems like your ride is coming to a close. The sun is beginning to lay lower in the sky and overall it's been a really peaceful few hours.
You don't want it to end.
Hopping off of Buttercup is much easier for Tyler than disembarking off of Spirit is for you. It probably has something to do with him being 6 foot plus and incredibly fit, not that you like, noticed or anything. He smiles at you from below as he sees you struggling with the stirrups.
“C'mon cowgirl, time to go,” he extends his hand up to you and you obviously accept it. Any excuse to get closer to the man in front of you.
He grips your hips tightly from behind to steady you, as you swing your leg over and try to gently lower yourself back to solid ground. If you were watching the scene play out, instead of being a part of it, you'd surely roll your eyes. But that’s not the case, and his hands are strong and warm and you can feel them through your jeans. It sends warmth radiating through your body and you bite your lip to keep yourself from saying anything foolish.
Normally, you’d be a bit more than a bit self-conscious about him grabbing your hips. They’re wide and thick since that’s where most of your extra weight seems to congregate, but Tyler isn't shying away, and it isn’t necessarily hidden in these snug pants.
You're both silent on the walk back to his car.
___________
He drives back in the direction of your house, but is going well under the speed limit, which is odd for the ostentatious sports car you're in.
He hits a red light and finally looks over at you, “Did you have other plans tonight… or?”
His sentence tapers off and you stare at him with your lips pursed.
“Did you have something else planned?” It comes out a little too high pitched and excited to be passed off as cool, but you sort of hope he does, because you really don't want to go home and wait for him to contact you again, especially if his work schedule is as erratic as he's claimed. Who knows how long you two could draw this thing out for.
He stares at you now, seemingly mulling something silently. “Light's green,” you nudge him with your elbow.
He focuses on the road again but eyes you subtly, “I could make us dinner, if you wanted to come to my place?” He's tentative, like he's not sure what you're going to say- like he hasn't taken you on the best dates of your life, hasn't been unabashedly pursuing you and making you hot under the collar with every look he sends in your direction. Like you could ever say no to that face of his.
“Yeah we can do that, Tony” a grin splits his face and you just couldn’t help yourself.
He hunches over towards the steering wheel in what can only be described as giggles.
“You'll remember my name one day,” he warns as he makes a u-turn, driving the opposite direction of your home.
He'd be hard to forget, all his weirdness and sweetness and playful tenacity. You sit quietly, hoping his invitation to dinner is a little less innocent than face value.
___________
It seems Tyler is absolutely full of surprises, because the driveway he pulls into belongs to a veritable mansion and you're instantly uncomfortable.
Before you can help yourself a small, “oh,” drops out of your mouth. You hope he doesn't hear you, because that's embarrassing. You just feel a little out of place, since you're a waitress and he's picked you up at your house before, which is really just the first floor of a house in the suburbs that you rent and definitely could not afford to own.
He hits a button on his phone and the garage door opens and it's literally like you're sitting next to James- fucking-Bond. Once he's pulled in you see the Jeep sitting in the garage as well, along with a few other cars you wouldn't be able to identify as anything other than wildly expensive. He doesn’t seem to catch the noise you make, but he does catch you surreptitiously looking around. He parks and starts getting out, walking over to the door and unlocking it as you trail behind him.
“I told you, I like my toys.” He lets you into the house before him and you kick off your shoes at the door, afraid to track dirt all over the pristine floors.You follow him through the hallway and into the kitchen. It’s bright and beautiful, with marble floors and countertops and what are surely restaurant quality appliances, and if he told you his personal chef would be preparing dinner for you tonight it honestly wouldn't surprise you in the least.
But he doesn't.
He gets out pans and bread and butter and cheese and starts the stove before glancing at your shocked face, “Grilled cheese okay? I haven't really gone grocery shopping since I got back. Ya know, too busy trying to plan dates with girls who can't remember my name and getting shown up by rowdy horses.” You nod and he turns back to the pan, buttering it up as it heats over the open flame.
He motions over to the island stools and you hop up, watching him cook. “Can I help at all?” You don't really know where anything is, but your momma raised you right, so you ask anyway.
“There’s some wine in the fridge, if you’re interested,” he tells you, and you pour out two glasses as he pops the grilled cheeses onto two plates, placing one in front of you and scooting onto the stool next to you with his own.
“Wine doesn't really go with grilled cheese, huh?” He makes a face, but it doesn't stop him from washing down his second bite in the exact same fashion.
“Excuse you, grilled cheese goes with everything.” Sure it's just grilled cheese and all, but it's really actually pretty good and it's made even better by how sweet Tyler was to do it himself and not take the easy way out and order something in. It feels cozy and private sitting in his kitchen, drinking wine and eating the food he made. You eat mostly in silence, sipping your wine and looking around at the grand kitchen.
___________
It's hard to imagine what Tyler does for a living that he could afford a place like this. He doesn’t give off a businessman vibe and he doesn’t seem like the kind who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, so you’re at a loss thinking of a position for him to work. Mostly you just don't want to be seen as a gold digger, even though you couldn’t have possibly known about this in advance; if you had known, you would have been even more reluctant to agree to a date than you already were.
“You okay? Kinda quiet, usually you're making jokes at my expense, I'm a little worried,” he nudges your knee with his under the table as you finish up your food. You pick up the wine glass and stand,  filling both of your glasses again. “Yeah. I'm good. Gimme a tour?” You open your eyes wide, tilt your head, and give him a genuine smile, it's not his fault that your uncomfortable about him being loaded. He obviously wasn't turned off by you not being rich, so you do your best to put it out of your mind in the effort of having a good time.
He smiles and stands dropping both dishes in the sink before he heads off into another room motioning for you to follow.
The two of you must make a decent amount of noise, because as you leave the kitchen, you can hear the tell-tale sound of paws on hardwood and before you know it, you're surrounded in labs. Before you get pummeled, Tyler grabs your wine glass from your hand before they could pounce you with love.
The dogs are wonderful.
He makes a fuss of trying to get the yellow one to stop jumping, but the brown and black ones are a little more well behaved, a little older and calmer. They hear his stern voice and sit and allow you to ruffle their ears, while the yellow one dances around happily, in between you and Tyler.
“It's fine,” you tell him. “If this is how I die, it's worth it,” you're fully sat on the floor now, giving pets and staving off sloppy kisses. He lets the dogs attack you with love for another minute before he helps you up from the floor.
“You'll spoil them.” He hands you back your wine and tells the dogs to go lay down, which they surprisingly do as they head off into an adjacent room. Tyler follows behind them.
“This is the living room,” he pauses, eyeing the dogs who look up at the sound of his voice from their position on the couch. “No,” he stares them down sternly and they plop their heads back onto the couch cushions and ignore you as you walk though.
“This is the dining room, I never use this. I don't even know why I have this room. I only use it when my mom's here.” It's amazing how the house is beautifully furnished and decorated, without looking like a 20 something male threw it all together or looking too overly pretentious, like it was done by a pricey designer.
He drags you into the game room, through the media room, and he ducks his head into a room that he calls his office. “I probably use this room less than the dining room.” He doesn’t even cross over the threshold, and keeps on his way to the stairs.
Letting the curiosity get the better of you, you step in and see stacked hockey pucks and gloves on the desk and jerseys on the wall. It starts to click. It would make sense for him to work in sports; it would afford him the money to own a house like this, and would probably require travel. He’s in great shape and Texas is wrought with professional trainers. You make a mental note to ask him about it later when you get the chance.
Suddenly though, you feel a little uncomfortable in your tight jeans, thinking about all of the hard bodies he probably comes into contact with daily.
“Hey, where’d you go?” Tyler calls from outside of the room, and decide you should probably stop snooping around without his consent; it’s not nice.
___________
The tour continues upstairs.
He shows you where his mom likes to stay, and then drags you into the room his sisters fight over for when they visit.
You know where this is going. Normally, you'd be delighted a guy like him was interested in getting into your pants, but you're not really in the mood to take them off anymore, considering how self conscious you're feeling. You feel a little claustrophobic in your own clothes, your shirt feels constricting around your arms and chest and you can feel where the waist of you jeans is digging into your flesh.
It's an honest shame, because his bedroom is awesome. Everything is a soft neutral. It's decorated minimally but tastefully. There are floor to ceiling windows that light the room up in warm reds and oranges with the dusky sky and the bed looks huge and warm.
You end up not having to deny him, because he doesn't even spare the bed a second glance before he's dragging you into his closet, which is like, wow.
“Hooooooooly,” you're almost reverent looking at the amount of clothes and shoes and, quite frankly the solid organizational skills that were put to practice here.
“Yeah, it's okay.” He looks almost sheepish. Like he doesn't want to be showing off, but you did ask for a tour, so he’s just giving the people what they want. .
“I think your closet is bigger than my entire bedroom.” You're backing out into his bedroom again and see another door.
“Do you have two closets you absolute diva?” You gently slap his chest, unable to stop teasing him as his face gets that distinct pink tinge again. Your face heats up as well at the hard muscle you feel under your hands. That smirk makes its way back to his face as he catches your hand lingering on his pecs. His eyebrows approach his hairline, so you turn away from him, pushing the door open, nosy once more.
“Okay, your bathroom is definitely bigger than my bedroom,” you do a little spin to take in the whole thing. Looking up at the skylight and out the window at the view. He laughs it off before grabbing your hand and tugging you.
“C'mon, I'm going to kick your ass at pool... unless you have to go?” He looks at you, waiting for approval.
You think about leaving for about a second, overwhelmed by- well, by everything. This house, and the cars, and his general… overwhelmingly handsome, charming self. But then you think about it again, and really, you do honestly like him, so you decide to throw caution to the wind. You’ve gotten this far with false bravado and flirtatious teasing,
“You don't even stand a chance, Tommy,” you smile before ducking under his arm and out of his room, hurrying down the stairs.
He chases you, right on your heels until he catches you at the game room, pressed against your back, all warm and big. He puts his hands on your hips and whispers low in you ear, “Let's see what you got, tough guy.”
___________
Once you're away from the bedroom you start to feel a little better. He keeps making sure you're comfortable and wanting to stay, he doesn't seem to be less attracted to you because you're not wealthy or shaped like a runway model. You can't seem to find a fault with him; normally that would be annoying, but you're just happy the only issue you have now is whether or not you want to make a move on him, since it seems he's letting you control all things carnal.
There's not as much pressure down in the game room, far away from the expectations of the bedroom.
Scratch that. There's a lot of pressure, but it's a different type of pressure. Because you were definitely shit talking before and you've lost 3 games of pool in a row. Not just lost; lost would be underselling it.
You were absolutely eviscerated- sinking only 1 of your own balls before Tyler cleared the table, then calls the 8 ball's pocket and smoothly shoots it in without a problem.
Pouting, you turn around and poke Tyler in the chest, “I don't want to play with you anymore. This isn't any fun!”
He grabs your wrist and tugs you towards him. He's laughing, a full loud thing that makes his eyes scrunch up and shows all of his straight white teeth. Your competitive side is still feeling pouty, but your red-blooded-female side is hot under the collar for this idiot.
He wraps his arms around you. “Now you know how I felt when you were showing me and Buttercup up. Sucks doesn't it?”
You let him wrap you up in his arms, it's a nice consolation prize for getting your ass handed to you over and over and over. “Yeah, yeah. I've never played before so… you should be a lot less proud.”
He looks down at you a little affronted. “Let me show you proper technique. I can't keep beating you mercilessly when you're such a rookie. It's not even a challenge.”
___________
You'd like to say that your heart rate and body temperature remained steady as he oh-so-innocently bent you over the table to show you how to properly line up a shot, but you make it a habit to not lie through your teeth.
It feels incredible. He's all angular, hard lines against your curves. It makes you feel distinctly feminine and small, something no other man has ever really accomplished.
Tyler is keeping it strictly business. No funny stuff at all. His left hand on your left elbow helping you stay steady against the felt of the table, while his right hand covers yours, far back on the pool cue.
He shows you a few times, slowly pulling your arm back and smoothly sliding it forward to make contact with the cue ball. You'd never assign the term “erotic” to billiards, but now you'd be hard pressed to ever look at a pool table again without thinking of this moment.
“Go easy. Gentle hands. You don't need a lot of force. It's more about finesse,” he's so close the words drop out of his mouth and settle onto the column of your neck.
Odds are really high you might jump him. It's absolutely terrible.
When he finally stands up and lets you have a go at it alone, you're practically vibrating out of your skin. You hit the cue ball all wrong since your hands are shaking, and it hops right over the ball you're aiming for and off of the table.
“You okay there hot shot?” He's stood up behind you as you drop your face onto the table in embarrassment. You can hear the laugh in his voice.
“It's going great, Trevor,” you manage, raising your head and scowling at him over your shoulder. ‘Great’ may be embellishing, but then he runs a finger over the sliver of skin that's exposed from where your shirt has rucked up, and all of a sudden you need to reassess your choice in adjectives.
The moment can easily be upgraded from “great” to transcendental.
You're not sure if you should stand up and turn around, since that would be prime position to get your mouth on his again. Or maybe you could stay bent over the table and see where he plans on going with this. Or maybe you just let your body turn into a pile of goo here on the table under his hands. They all seem like pretty solid options as far as you're concerned.
Tyler's hand shimmies your shirt up a few more inches and you entertain a flash of insecurity at the thought of your love handles existing, but you're happy to report that you forget about it pretty quickly as Tyler stretches his front over your back once more, clearly undeterred.
He pushes your hair to the side and tucks his chin into your neck, murmuring directly into your ear.
“This good? You want me to stop?” He's grabbing both sides of your waist and there's not a single gap between your bodies.
You're not quite sure you can fully formulate a coherent sentence with his lips running wild on the nape of your neck, so you press your ass back into him so he knows to continue.
“That's a yes then? Use your words, babe” you feel his smile against your jaw before he gently lets his teeth scrape over a particularly sensitive spot under your ear.
All the air in your lungs leaves you in a breathy moan, “Yeah. Yes. You're good.”
His hands drop lower and squeeze your hips, “I'm ‘good,’ what?” He presses his hips closer to yours before pulling away. The friction, while short lived, is sorely missed and leaves you wishing he'd do it again.
The short circuit in your brain isn't making the connection he's trying to lead you towards, and you turn your head towards him, eyes half-lidded while letting out an extremely intelligent, “huh?”
He repeats the motion again, pulling you back harder against him this time. “I'm good- what, (y/n).” He puts emphasis on your name, growling it into your ear.
This time he backs away entirely and pulls you to stand up and turn to face him, eyebrows raised, waiting for you to give him what he's looking for.
“You're good…” you swing your eyes skyward and pretend to consider it while wrapping your arms around his neck, eyebrows furrowed and nose wrinkled, “Todd?”
Tyler's jaw sets, but it doesn't reach his eyes. “You wound me.” His hand is over his heart. “Maybe I can jog your memory.”
He's got your ass in his hands before you can blink, and you're suddenly sat on the edge of the table. His hands rise to the waist of your pants while his mouth is fixed against yours, playfully dragging his tongue over the roof of your mouth. It tickles and is sharply contrasted with the stinging bite he leaves on your bottom lip.
“Can I take these off?” He's still tugging at the top of your jeans, so you stand and nod rapidly, shedding your pants before he has the chance to do it himself.
“Thanks,” he kisses the word into your mouth as he puts you back onto the edge of the table and gently pushes you back. “I'm going to do these too, if you don't mind,” his index finger slips in between your lacy thong and your hip. He succeeds in tugging it down off of your ankles when you nod your approval.
His hands grip your thighs just above your knees as he settles himself onto the floor between them.
You know what's coming and are so keyed up you're not sure you can even watch. It's a struggle to keep your eyes open, but the alternative is missing it, and you definitely don't want that to happen.
He goes slowly, licking gently up your right leg, but not breaking eye contact. “You know that's not my name,” he shakes his head gently.
Even now, he's such a little shit that you don't want to give into him. So, you press your cheek to your shoulder and lean back on your forearms, your eyes staying on his, “Tyson?”
He moves onto your left leg, licking from your knee into the crease of your hip. “Not quite. But I'm sure it will come to you.”
His hands push you over the lip of the table and onto the playing surface. A small shriek leaves your mouth because you hadn't been expecting it. He takes the opportunity of you being momentarily stunned to press his tongue against your pussy.
It's been more than a while since you've been privy to such lovely treatment, and you can't help it when your thighs tighten and your hand digs into his hair, while your head tips all the way back in bliss.
“Oh my God. Oh my God; I'm so sorry!” You pull your thighs apart, embarrassed that you'd boxed his ears so firmly between them, but he doesn't stop or even seem all that phased by it. Instead he responds by digging his fingertips into your flesh, pulling your legs wider so he can wedge his shoulders between them while moving closer into you.
Everything feels too good. His hands on your flesh burn in the best possible way and his mouth moving against you is making you lightheaded. You can't control it when your breath starts coming in quick pants as he starts running a finger up your slit while focusing his tongue on your clit.
It's stupid, but you open your eyes and  chance a peek down at him. Tyler must be able to feel your gaze, because he opens his eyes then and halts all his movements.
The needy whine that makes its way out of your mouth is ten different kinds of embarrassing, but you need him back on you. Your nerves are on fire, waiting to be sated, but Tyler just looks up at you, inches from where he was, haughty.
“Please don't stop.” Your hand finds its way back into his hair and you tug him forward a little. It's his turn to moan out, and he puts his mouth to you again with renewed fervor.
You can't help yourself when his tongue pushes into you and his nose nudges your clit and he lets loose a growl. No one could blame you for pressing further against him as you beg-
“Tyler, please. Please don't stop,” breathlessly while staring down at him.
You don't realize what you said until he pauses and looks up at you. You can't see the smirk, but you can feel the sweet kiss he places on your clit before he buries his face against you again. He contains multitudes.
It almost makes you wish you kept your mouth shut, because you know you gave him exactly what he'd been after. But you can't be bothered to care as the pressure in your belly becomes too much to bear. He focuses his mouth on your clit, relentlessly circling his tongue around it, and slips two fingers into you, stretching you, and the pressure explodes. Your vision spots as you try to keep your eyes on what Tyler is doing between your legs, but you have to close them when he reaches up to grab your breast over your shirt, too overstimulated by the way he's still sucking at your clit to need any more.
He rises up when you start to whine and wiggle against his licks, his face is wet with you and he looks so painfully sexy, lips swollen and red.
“That's it, baby. That's all I wanted. I knew you’d remember me.” He leans over you and kisses you gently on your lips. Tasting the combination of his mouth and your cunt is only serving to make you wetter.
He grabs your hand and pulls you up, “C’mon, baby, let's go upstairs.” He drags you behind him as he heads up towards his bedroom.
___________
When you get to his room you're magnetized to him. Up until now, you really haven't gotten your hands on him much. So you kissed him, and let your hands slide up his shirt and straight to his chest, you can tell before you've even gotten him undressed that you grossly underestimated how fit he is.
It's so unfair. Everywhere you're soft and curved he's hard, unyielding edges.
The moan slips out before you can close your lips over it, with your face pressed against his neck and your hands running up and down his firm stomach. You shake your head against him, disbelief at how hot he is and how he’s encouraging you to touch him like this.
If you thought he was unbearably smug before, you clearly hadn't seen anything yet. Tyler reaches behind his neck to pull his shirt off and you literally feel like you're in Magic Mike. He's too perfect. The black ink swirling over tanned skin, all pulled tight over his thick muscles.
Your hands go to his shoulders sliding down his triceps and his forearms, before linking your hands with his. You coax his tongue out of his mouth and into yours before sucking gently on it.
The hand holding doesn't last, he pulls your hands back up to his chest, “No, don’t stop. I like that. Do that again (y/n).” He presses your hands flat against him and rests his on top, dragging you up and down his chest and abs. His eyes drop closed and his head is tipped back just a little, savoring the feel of your hands all over him. Tyler clearly wants you to enjoy his body, and you can't say it will be a hardship to give him what he wants; he looks like he stepped out of your wildest fantasies. A tattooed bad boy with a secret heart of gold, the cliches write themselves.
You desperately want to make him feel good, he gave you what was surely the best orgasm of your life down in the game room. But, you just can't help the teasing; it's how you flirt, after all.
“What's that, Tyler?” Speaking soft and low into the shell of his ear, you keep your left hand where he's positioned it on his chest, but slowly slide the right one down his chest, down his impossibly defined stomach, and down to the drooped waistband of his jeans as you tuck a finger into them, hoping he gets the hint. “Tell me what you want, Tyler.”
His eyes look wild as he steps back and reaches down to unbutton and drop his pants. He's so hard already, you can feel it as you get your hand around him through his boxer briefs. Continuing to palm him, you feel a little drunk with power. He's letting out these little huffs and whines that fall into your neck and he's wrapped one arm around you and is grabbing at your ass so hard you're sure to have bruises.
He seems content to let you have your way with his body for the time being, almost egging you on with all his noises and gripping you harder when you give him something he likes. Currently it's the fact that you've pushed down his underwear and are continuing to pull his dick in long, smooth strokes, rolling your thumb over the head, that has him gasping in your ear.
“Yes, like that- wanna be inside you, please,” he's tugging at your shirt trying to pull it off, but you're having so much fun turning him to putty you're not sure if you want to give into him.
You've never had a man like him before. He seems content to let you set the pace of everything. To be in control of this huge man and how he'll get his pleasure, it- it knocks the wind out of you a bit to be honest.
Shortening your strokes, you pull your hand away from his cock, and lift your shirt over your head. Tyler's opened his eyes and looks over at you, groaning when he takes in your breasts. Your bra is pulled down over them, nipples peeking out, since he's been feeling you up over your shirt for the past few minutes. There's really no point in having it on, so you unclasp it and shimmy it off of your shoulders.
He's reaching out to touch you, but before he can, you're on your knees in front of him, sat fully nude, ready to make him feel good.
Dropping his head, he looks down at you and lets out a whine, “That's not fair I can't touch you from up here.”
Bless him, you're going to wreck him.
You take just the tip of his cock into your mouth and he stops complaining.
“You can so,” you tell him, grabbing his hands and bringing them to your head. You wrap your own hands around his thighs. They're firm and muscular like the rest of him, and you can't help yourself, so you lean over and lick up his inner thigh, back to his cock.
He's being so gentle, not using any of the leverage you gave him. So, you use your grip on his legs to force yourself down on him and hope he'll take the hint. After a few bobs of your head, it seems he understands and softly pulls you down over and over onto his cock with the hands that are wrapped up in your hair.
You love the way he's falling apart above you, breathy and begging for more, but you really don't want him to finish in your mouth tonight. Mostly in case you never get this opportunity with him again; you want the memory him inside of you at the very least.
He has the same idea because he tugs gently at your hair. “(Y/n), you gotta stop.” The pride swells up inside you as you feel his legs shaking. “I can't- just get up here.”
You stand, your thighs are a little a shaky themselves from being on your knees for so long, but he grabs you by your upper arms and helps you up.
“Lay down,” you barely recognize the gravelly voice that commands Tyler to the bed, but you know it's your own. He's so good, horizontal before you can blink, lying there waiting for you.
“Please, (y/n). Wanted this for so long, since the first time I saw you. You're so sexy.” You roll your eyes, mostly to stop them from watering at the heart wrenching sincerity that he speaks with. You straddle him and kiss his lips,
“You're awfully sappy for someone who was just fucking my face.” It's his turn to roll his eyes, but they're forced closed as you sink down on him.
He winds his arms around your waist and sits up just enough to watch your ass bounce on him from over your shoulder.
“Tyler,” he tears his eyes away from the image and looks up at you, “I want to make you come.” You stop bouncing on him and slowly roll your hips until his head knocks back against the pillows. He isn't looking up at you, eyes wrenched shut, so you assume you're on the right track.
“Such a good boy. Waited so long for me, Tyler,” he's breathing is labored at best but he manages to slow it enough to answer.
“Love when you say my name. I want you to come, can you do it again?” He's flushed from his face down to his chest and he's practically art, slick with sweat, muscles straining.
All it really takes is him leaning up a little and licking at one breast before sucking a hickey into it for you to lose it around him once more. It's overwhelming this time too.
Tyler is relentless. He takes over this time too, pressing up into you as you try to clamp your legs down around his hips to slow him, used to him letting you be in control, but it seems it's his turn now. He manages to get you onto your back without pulling out, and you haven't stopped coming around him yet.
“No, no. You had your fun. My turn, trust me.” You push up at his chest without any real intent of removing him from you. Your overstimulation quickly turning into another orgasm under his unrelenting hips. He can see the second you're falling apart, the legs that were wrapped around him twitching and squeezing at him.
“Yes, good girl,” he's cupping each breast roughly and you think if he makes you come again you may just pass out.
“Tyler please, I think you're going to kill me,” you scramble underneath him, grabbing at any skin of his you can find. He does that laugh again, with his head back and mouth open wide, nose scrunched. He's honestly a blast and if this is the last time you get to see him like this you will be sincerely disappointed.
“Keep saying my name like that,” he looks down at you all soft, eyes glinting, “that'll make me come.” He fucks into you three times, quickly, almost snarky, before returning to long smooth strokes. Pulling all the way out so only the very tip of the head remains inside of you before pushing all the way back inside, and shuddering each time.
“Is that all it takes?” You kid with him, pushing his hair back off his forehead. “You just want me to tell me how good you are, Tyler?” You feel him pulse inside of you and pause for a brief second before he picks his rhythm back up. “Yes, that's what you want. Tyler, you're so good, baby. I love your dick, Tyler. Fuck.”
Honestly, the way he's staring down at you like you're the one who hung the moon and the way your voice sounds wrecked and breathless is enough to have to clenching around him again, and it isn't even for his benefit when you cry out, “Tyler! Fuck like that Ty, don't stop, please, please, please, Tyler!”
The combine of his voice and you clamping down around him must finally send him over the edge and as soon as you feel him pulse inside of you, you open your eyes. He's absolutely gorgeous, face screwed up in pleasure, breathing hard through his teeth before he's spent and pulls out of you, rolling onto his side.
You scamper out of his bed to clean up and pee. The whole time trying to delay the rough thought of him kicking you out or calling and Uber to send you home in. Just the idea grates against your brain and has you nervous to leave the bathroom.
When you finally build up the courage, he's lying there, still gloriously naked, one foot tucked under the blanket. You search around for your underwear and remember that you left them down in the game room before sighing. Tyler's eye peeks open.
“What are you doing? Get in bed. It's late.” You're stunned and tilt your head blubbering out before you can stop yourself, “You want me to stay?”
“Yeah of course, I'll take you home in the morning after breakfast. I think I have some eggs downstairs?” he scratches at his hair before rolling to face your side of the bed, patting the pillow welcomingly.
Huffing out a surprised laugh, you pull the blankets up the bed and slide underneath them, so grateful that you finally gave into him all those weeks ago.

I posted my last piece for Femslash February five days ago, and I’m kind of still amazed that I made it through them all. A lot of things happened in my personal life as well during the past few months, and it’s really made the first quarter of this year One for the Books. Now that I’ve reached the end of the challenge (FINALLY), I wanted to take this opportunity to extend my love and gratitude to everyone who motivated me to see this through to the end.

I am endlessly grateful for how you’ve helped me to thrive and reconnect with my favorite form of artistic expression. I’m so happy we get to share our love for the pairing with each other and the rest of this corner of the fandom. Thank you for each tag you’ve devoted to liveblogging your read-throughs of my work, and thank you also for every word you’ve written for our girls.

Creating stories alongside you is without a doubt one of the best things that’s happened for me in 2019. <3

_________________________
I managed to get through a week with the focus on making further memories with Leo. We did most of them at home and I had the desire to capture everything. From watching him cook to cleaning up my chaotic messes, his domestic side was firmly imprinted in my mind and phone. After work we would often go on walks together too, just enjoying the time hand in hand and seeing the seasonal changes. Sometimes we’d stop by a coffee shop and sit across from each other laughing and getting lost in one another’s eyes. And then there was the constant passion that was now a part of who we were.
It was dangerous to have such a beautiful week together.
And that was what signalled the collapse of one of my support beams. As the second week started, I suddenly felt like I couldn’t breathe. Everything I had enjoyed in the past seven days were now things I was dreading, feeling their timeline enclosing on my throat and making it harder to focus. I didn’t want to do anything but stop time.
It was ironic how time became an obstacle again in our relationship.
Rolling over in bed after waking up Wednesday morning, I blindly reached out for the other side of the bed, my eyes snapping open when I found the space empty. Panic surged through my body as I shot up, darting my eyes around my bedroom for a sign of the dark haired man. Leo wasn’t anywhere in sight.
Flinging myself out of bed and careening down the short hallway, I found the living space just as silent as the rest of the house, my mind blanking as fear settled into place. Had the three weeks gone by that quickly?
“Leo?!” I yelled out, running back to the bathroom to find it as empty as everywhere else. I started to cry, at first just letting out some tears but the longer I was alone the wilder they became, engulfing me completely. Dropping to my knees in the living room as the emotions took over, I sobbed over my sudden loneliness, beating at my chest as air became harder to take in.
And then I heard the front door open. My blurry focus moved up to see his familiar shape in the entryway and suddenly my legs were working again, sprinting over the small space so I could collide against Leo. He managed to balance both of us and whatever he held, his breathing stopping at my dishevelled state.
I cried harder than I thought I ever could then. The grief was immense, and the idea of losing him felt raw and destructive. The lies I had fed myself up until this point were eating at me.
That I would be fine.
That everything could just slowly go back to how it had been.
Leo had changed everything in my world. It would be impossible to go back. I knew I couldn’t cope this way any more. The looming time over our heads would destroy me before the three weeks were up. This only made me more desperate, clinging to Leo as if doing so would stop anyone taking him from me.
I was still struggling to breathe, and could vaguely hear Leo saying my name, but his other words sounded too jumbled and far away. Was he already leaving me again? The mere thought broke whatever resolve I had left and I fell into darkness.
  When I opened my eyes again it was bright outside and I squinted a little until something moved into my line of view. It was Leo. The concern in his face was evident and his hand slowly reached for me, as if he would break me if he moved any faster. There was a tremble when his hand finally connected against my cheek, and his eyes searched mine for an immeasurable time.
“You slept for a day,” he informed me softly and my eyes widened for only a moment, the effort feeling too much right now. I sunk into the bedding further, swallowing slowly. My throat ached, and my head was pounding.
It would be typical of me to work myself into such a state that I got sick in the process.
Leo seemed to think along the same lines and nodded slowly. “You’ve been running a fever.”
I managed to nod and then tried to swallow once more, feeling the strain of a dry throat. Again as if he read my mind, a bottle of water was soon in my face, a straw placed in after Leo uncapped it. I took a couple of sips, relishing in the cool liquid running down my tender throat.
“Thank you,” I managed and Leo smiled, though his eyes were still troubled and searching mine. I tried to avoid his gaze but his hand moved to my face, grabbing my chin and turning me back to him.
He sighed. “Why were you like that yesterday?”
“I guess falling sick ma-”
“Stop lying to me, you’ve done enough of that.” I groaned inwardly at his ability to know everything about me. Knowing I wouldn’t get to see more of his own personality grow or show him more of mine made a tear slip down my cheek and he was quick to wipe it away, all whilst still staring at me. “Yerin, baby please.”
I closed my eyes then, shaking my head slowly, feeling dizzy in the process. Biting my lip at the nickname, I felt my chest begin to ache in pain. I wanted to disconnect from all my emotions, they were getting far too taxing to endure.
“Yerin.” His voice was stronger now, more demanding. I opened my eyes to look at Leo and saw his own were wider, panic nestling into his face. “Why did you cry like the worst thing had happened to you? Why did you cling to me like I was leaving you? I would never leave you.”
His words were the sentence of my remaining control, breaking down and shaking with the intensity of my feelings. Strong arms enveloped me then and I buried in deep, half sobbing, half choking on the efforts of my emotions. It was pitiful, just how much more could I cry? I was frustrated that I couldn’t even make it through more than one week without letting myself fall.
“Yerin!” He was calling for me now, shaking me out of my stupor and I looked up at Leo through my tears, trying to get a grip over myself. But I couldn’t seem to and he let go to move out of the bed, annoyed that I had shut down on him. Scrambling to grab a hold of Leo again, I reached for his torso and clung to his back, closing my eyes as I tried to stem the tears.
“Don’t leave me,” I whispered. He stilled for only a moment before turning around to face me, narrowing his gaze on mine.
“Do you think I’m going to?” he whispered back and I bit at my lip again, dropping my focus. His body became rigid in mine and I glanced up to capture the steely gaze as he looked over my head. His jaw was taut and he finally looked down at me, seeing all he needed to. “Are they taking me away from you?”
“L-Leo, we knew this was an experiment.”
“This,” he repeated, flailing an arm about. “What we have, it’s not real to you?!”
“You know it’s plenty real,” I managed, coughing a little with how hoarse my throat felt.
“But to them, it’s not anything more than an experiment?” he concluded and I didn’t answer. Leo clenched up a fist as he sat back on the bed beside me heavily. “How much time do we have?”
“Ten days.”
“Ten?!” he echoed and I nodded weakly. He began to shake. “So… yesterday when I went to get you some breakfast, you panicked thinking I was gone already?”
Nodding, I rested against his side, noticing his shaking stop. I smiled, nestling into him as my head started to ache too much. We needed to stop talking and just rest some more together. I was growing too tired, the sickness and emotions draining what little energy I had.
Leo sighed as I half settled into him and scooped me up, disorientating me as he placed me back into our bed. I reached for him to come down beside me and he complied, though his body was still stiff. I whined gently. “Leo, relax.”
“I can’t.”
“I’m sorry,” I whispered and he kissed my forehead before gazing into my eyes. I felt the endless tears build up in my ducts again. I gave him a watery smile. “I wish we could do something to stop this.”
“Don’t worry,” he soothed, smiling at me as his eyes grew determined. I didn’t like that look. A moment ago he had appeared out of control and now a serene calm seemed to settle in, something that looked all too calculating to truly be peaceful. It made me worried but his hand on my hair gently stroking it was making it hard to fight off the sleep that was encasing me.
“Leo, I don’t want you to leave me whilst I sleep,” I murmured, finally letting my heavy lids droop and I tried to cling on, making sure he wouldn’t do anything whilst I slept.
“I’m sorry baby,” I vaguely heard but I was too far gone to reach out and hold him steady, submitting to the darkness and losing sight of Leo.
I couldn’t stop him.

IcyPanther’s Fanart Contest Judging and Statistics Post
First off, I would like to say thank you so so so so so much to the amazing artists who participated in this contest. We ended with a total of 17 entries which means I am awarding the tier one and two prizes; a 5k-7k fic of choice and a 2k-3k whump trope prompt fic, respectively.
A few (fun?) statistics about the entry selections:
17 total entries
As Color Fades Away: 11 entries
The Purity of Sin: 2 entries
Disjointed Soul: 3 entries
(Un)breakable Bonds: 1 entry
Hope: The Truest Treasure and Burning Bright series: 0 entries
Of the 11 entries for Color... 5 of them were of the same scene. I’m dying xD (Lance is too jajajaja *shot* *stabbed* *shot again*)
A number of people reported this was their first time drawing/drawing this way and I’m so touched you were inspired by my works to do so!
Only one misspelling of my name in tags and it wasn’t “icypanter” so I’ll take it ;p 
One entry submitted on the first day of the contest opening (well, within 24 hours)
Six entries received on the last day of the contest (one with literally four minutes to spare ;p)
JUDGING
Judging is being done on a number of categories for a most fair assessment across the board. As I stated in the original contest post, this is not just an art contest to where the most talented artist gets the win. I wanted people of all talent levels to participate and have a chance because that’s what makes it fun ♥
On that note, there are a total of five categories that were considered during judging. Each category awards a point of one to three, so a perfect entry would have a score of fifteen (these numbers are privy only to me though ;p) The breakdown is as follows:
Artistic Talent
This category still gets a nod because I would like to acknowledge the entries that are beautifully executed in regards to composition, proportions, shading, colors, linework, etc. That talent is a hard-earned skill and should be commended ♥
Effort
While all of the judging categories carry equal weight this is a personal big one for me. I put a lot of effort into my works and will most definitely do the same to the contest prize. That means that I want to see that same dedication and effort reflected back at me. This is where I may read your descriptions (and tags!) – did you try something new? Did you agonize over a portion of it? Did you put in far, far more hours than you thought you would? Can I *see* the time and love you put into your work? I work hard, I like to reward those that do the same.
Execution
And uh, not the guillotine version. This is in reference to how well your idea came through of your piece. I’m looking at pose, at style, at color (or lack thereof, depending ;p), any “methods” you used to make your piece pop and why, at placement, at scene selection at the *feeling* conveyed… all those good things ♥
Adherence to Source Material
AKA the detail category. This is where I look to see how accurate your artwork is to the related fanfic. Are the clothes what that character is actually wearing in that scene? Bandages/injuries/scars/marks/whatever in the right spot? Are the expressions accurate? Characters in the right place in the scene (right season too? ;p)? I *thrive* on the small details so seeing how closely you’ve read the fanfic and incorporated those details into your art is a big deal for me.
Level of Difficulty
This category awards points based on the perceived level of difficulty the artwork tackled. Just like some Olympic events (gymnastics, figure skating, diving, etc.) the potential scores are calculated based upon certain elements to the routines because athletes (and artists in this case) should be rewarded for attempting more difficult and complicated items. So for this judging I’m looking at pose (dynamic vs still), backgrounds (complex vs simple), characters (one vs many), detail (line work, flat color or shaded and how) and giving nods to those that really pushed for the stars.
From these criteria I will be selecting the top five highest ranked entries and my sister will assist me in choosing a first and second place winner from those. The winner will be announced tomorrow at about 1500 CST.
Today though is all about this celebration of talent and love and passion as everyone is a winner in my book for being amazing and participating in the contest. Thank you all so so much ♥
I will be reblogging all of the entries throughout the day, starting in about half an hour and onwards till 1800 CST. To eliminate any posting bias, I numbered the entries by submission order and then used a random number generator (clicking multiple times in some cases due to repeats xD) until I got through the list. Hehe xD Due to not wanting to cause any perceived bias I am limiting myself to one comment in each reblog (as you guys have seen me write love letters before xDD) about the art but please know that every single one made me squeal, gush and arm flail. ♥

Wash out.5 (special)
Tumblr media
Banner: this banner is made by me. the rest are mde by the lovely @purpleskies1999​ ​ Pairings: Dolphintrainer!Taehyung x SharkDiver!Jin,  Mer!Jimin x Reader, Scientist!Namjoon x MerKing!Jungkook, Mer!Yoongi x Mer!Hoseok. Words: 1.1k Genre: Mystery, Romance, Comedy, Drama, Fantasy, little bit of Action, Slice of life, Enemies2Lovers, Friends2lovers, Social media au, Fake Texts, Fake Subs.
Summary: Taehyung and his best friend Y/N are Dolphin trainers at Wash Out; Marine Wildlife and Theme Park. When the nerdy marine biologist and resident veterinarian Doctor Kim Namjoon goes missing; the two friends form a ragtag team with Taehyung’s rival Seokjin and a…. Fish?
Tumblr media
Shaking listening to the water patter onto the tiles, you gently grasped your tender throat. He was scared. He didn’t mean it. You shivered and tried to breathe slowly as your throat was bruised. Drying yourself and dressing in a new swimsuit and some jean shorts you hesitantly from the locker room. Seokjin was still quiet listening to Taehyung explain he was going to take him home. 
You didn’t have time to worry about being left alone when the CEO who you had recently found out was named Robert Schmidt stepped over his shiny bald head hidden behind a bad toupee. He spoke in that authoritative tone, “You made the Mermaid listen to you just then, so I want you to establish a better relationship with him, if everything works out, he will be making me money in no time.”
Dolly was swimming slowly around her tank splashing the older male and you nodded. Sitting with your back to the merman’s tank, trying not to look back in fear he would be there. Watching a video on dolphin birth and you were trying to understand it you opened the tank divider between Dolly’s tank and the shallow tank that would come up to your belly button. This made it easier to help her, and get in with her if there was a problem. The only issue being it was directly against the other tank with him. The two tanks were connected by the shallow tank.
You watched over Dolly feeding her and trying to hold her stomach and she enjoyed it when you were supporting her tummy, it took the weight off for her. During the night you were almost asleep when you heard a knock and looked up to see the merman looking at Dolly. She looked tired. You gave her more food and saw the Merman watching. You offered him some fish but he blanched as if he didn’t like the fish in particular. Thinking perhaps you could find out what he ate you ran off to get a chart of all the available fish. It wasn’t the best method but pointing at the pictures and watching his face was all you could think of.
His eyes grew wide and a slight smile appeared when you pointed at the tuna. Bingo! Going to the food supply tanks you collected three large tuna and you took the bucket up to the catwalk. Your head was spinning as you placed the bucket down, involuntarily touching your throat. Dropping to your knees you took a fish in your hands the fish wiggled and you dipped your hands into the water and that’s when it happened. You were bitten on the wrist flailing back you kicked the bucket of fish and scrambled off the catwalk the blood was flowing as you ran down the stairs.
Cradling your arm against your chest the blood running down your elbow, you went to the small first aid kit in the corner and began wrapping the wound and wiping your tears. You laid back down on the makeshift bed by Dolly’s tank before falling asleep. 
The next morning you cleaned up showered and changed clothes and bandage, hoping that if you were clean and looked okay Taehyung wouldn’t notice. You fed Dolly and waited patiently for someone to arrive. There was a knock on the tank and you tried to ignore it when he knocked again, you went off to collect his fish you decided to get five not knowing how much he needed to eat. You came back with the bucket in hand and his eyes were on it.
Robert stopped you and from going up to the catwalk and took the bucket away dragging you by your injured wrist “Is it eating?” He asked excitedly.
“He is eating yes,” You nodded wincing before he finally let go.
“He is, good, good,” You eyed the tank to see an annoyed Merman, looking back you saw the look on Robert’s face, it didn’t look nice at all. “He doesn’t eat until he cooperates”
“Sir, I don’t know how he will respond, he doesn’t understand,” You reached for the bucket and he gripped your wrist until you cried out falling to your knees. “I understand, sir.”
“Excellent,” He walked off with the bucket and you looked at the bandage bleeding through and you sat by dolly’s tank and cleaned your wound and rebandaged it. Tap. Tap. Tap. Looking up you saw the Merman looking at you through the glass.
He tapped again and you hung your head and you tapped three times back and he watched you confused and you pointed to Robert who was telling everyone to sit down. When he asked for volunteers to work with the Merman, you raised your hand, Robert already wanted you to be in charge of him but you wanted to make sure he didn’t kick you out. 
“It is settled then,” Robert smiled, you texted Taehyung asking him to distract Mister Schmidt somewhere outside the warehouse for as long as he could. Taehyung was quick to make up something about a dangerous step that could cause the park to be liable if a visitor were to trip or slip on it. You tapped twice on the glass and ran. 
You moved the camera in the corner to face the wall and raced to the supply tanks grabbing a Tuna in your hands and running back, up the catwalk and dropping it in.
You ran back down not wanting to be caught and watched him devour the fish quickly, you were thankful he was so hungry. He tapped again but you looked at the doors prompting him to look as well and the CEO in all his suited glory stepped back in. “Just get some tape and put a sign, if they slip it in our rules that any falls are at the park goers own risk”
Another three taps from the merman made you tap back one singular and definite no. You wanted him to understand one meant no and two meant yes. Robert stepped over and looked at you, and up at the merman behind you.
“He seems to really like you,” He grinned, “Can’t say I blame him, if you can get him to cooperate, I can give you a promotion. I know it can be scary the big powerful CEO, but I want you to think of me as just Mister Schmidt”
He placed his arm around your shoulder and you felt sick and nodded, stepping aside, “I should start working with him.” You smiled and slipped from his presence and headed up the catwalk rather facing an angry man-fish than a creepy boss.
Stopping over the water, a head emerged. Concealed from the nose down so that his gold eyes could bore into yours. It was kind of cool to see him like this the way his eyes blinked twice, a clear membrane that slid across his eyes one way, and then his primary eyelid which functioned just like yours.

Then Again, P16  Peter Parker x Reader
Hello, everyone! I’m still rushing with finals, so this note is short: I just wanted to thank all of you guys for being so wonderful and liking, reblogging, and replying to this fic! It honestly means the world - enough that during all of this stress, the only thing I’ve wanted to do is post this and hear your responses 💕💕💕 That being said, I hope there aren’t too many typos from the rushed editing.  Let me know what you think! (P.S. This is super dumb but while I love being validated by hearing that you guys like the writing, I get so super excited when you guys tell me about your reactions - like how you feel about the characters or which parts made you upset or happy or things like that. I hope that makes sense. Just a side-comment 😉 Okay, I need to finish this now, yikes!)
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10, Part 11, Part 12, Part 13, Part 14, Part 15, Part 17, Part 18, Part 19
Then Again, Part 16
Words: (1,682)
An alarm is blaring, shocking me out of sleep like freezing water. I scramble to sit up without thinking. My eyes flash open to an empty bed.
I’m alone, the blanket neatly laid over me. She-?
Alarm still ringing, I rush to the other side of the bed and pick up her phone. The screen reads, “Wake up now for an extra hour of studying!”
I hit the off button and set it back down.
Jesus. It’s like my entire body has been jumpstarted. I pause a minute to steady myself and absorb my surroundings.
The room is only barely beginning to glow with sunlight, everything still faint. Water’s running in the bathroom and the light under the door hazy. Oh. She’s in the shower. Realizing a more (or less, I should say) awkward detail, I silently say a prayer of thanks: she must’ve gotten up recently and luckily, there’s nothing, um, going on, you know, downstairs like most mornings.
That’s an enormous bullet dodged. Well… maybe not enormous.
My hands go to my hair, last night now rushing my memories like countless images and sensations condensed into a thousand bouncy balls all thudding down a staircase in my brain. All my senses are tripping over themselves trying to remember. The lying next to her, the trying to hold her hand, her - maybe awake? - cuddling me, being able to feel all of my stress from the last week melt away, and even the limbo of tipping slowly over the edge of sleep with my arms around her, holding her, and wanting to never actually fall asleep - instead exist in that moment for as long as humanly possible. If I hadn’t’ve kept pinching myself to make sure it was real (and, you know, maybe to stay awake a little bit longer), I might have thought it was all another one of those dreams again.
I have to text Ned.
This all seems crazier with the sun coming up. Just the smell of coffee sneaking in from under the hallway door is like an adrenaline shot to the face. I roll back over to my side of the bed and grab my phone from the floor where I left it last night. Next to it is my retainer case. Oh yeah. I take those out before I start typing. 
“Ned”
Whoosh.
“Ned”
Whoosh.
“Ned”
Whoosh.
“Ned”
Whoosh.
“Ned”
Whoosh.
“Ned”
Whoosh.
I set the phone on the bed. He probably isn’t up yet. I should calm down first. Yeah, calm down first. I take in a deep breath. Slowly, I let it out. I bring my hands to my hair, ready to pull it out. Just be patient. It could be a while. 
Ding!
Nearly leaping out of my skin, I try to snatch my phone back up - but I knock it across the bed and scramble for it like a dog with a toy. Even when I pick it up, I drop it again. Shit, Peter. Chill out.
I fumble to pick the phone up again. This time, it sticks.
“Ned: what happened last night????”
“Dude its hard to explain I just woke up but let me try it might take a minute to type.”
Whoosh.
I start typing about how she did what she always does to MJ but this time it was with me last night and I’m wondering if it’d be weird to talk about how it felt to cuddle a girl like that or if I even should, you know, since it’s her and maybe she wouldn’t want me to tell anyone if she even remembers it, but then I realize that situation itself doesn’t make sense without going back to the actual fight but I really really really don’t even want to think about that right now. I’m trying to resist the urge to grab a pillow and shove my face into it. Then again, I can’t do that without remembering how she used me as her pillow only a few hours ago and how I need to remind myself that, like she said with MJ, it doesn’t mean anything. I wish it did though. God I wish it did. I mean, it did for me. Shit, I’m in so deep - this is such a mess.
The typing bubbles start on Ned’s side for a moment. Then they stop. Shit, I’m supposed to be typing. Then I hear a door in the hallway open and close. There’s a soft tap on my door.
Of course, duh, that’s way smarter. I don’t know why I didn’t just walk over in the first place.
I flip out of the bed and rush to the door. I swing it open to reveal Ned’s face.
“So?” he whispers, eyes wide, going up on his tiptoes to see around me and into the room.
Where do I begin?
“Dude,” I start, “It’s crazy. She’s in the shower, so I don’t know how long I can talk, but-”
“And you’re not in there with her?” Ned says, mock-surprised.
“Ned! That’s not funny- so, so, so not funny. Why would you say that? I have enough to think about and that’s, that’s just not cool!”
Ned stifles his laughter and puts his hands up, one covering his mouth for a half-second.
“Okay, I get it, I get it. That’s inappropriate. My bad. Go on.”
“I-I-I don’t know. We had this really serious fight and I was just- just such a dick. Like thinking about it right now, I want to punch myself in the face-”
“Do it.”
Again, Ned’s trying not to laugh, which only makes my brain scatter more. I’m suddenly aware that my hands are shaking and flying as I speak.
“- and like we worked some stuff out sort of- well, no, we yelled about stuff, but I think we can talk about it today! And make it better, you know? Conflict resolution stuff. Anyway, I left for a while - sorry about not answering you, but you did totally ignore me knocking on the door so I don’t feel that bad - and I was on the roof thinking it all over and I realized everything I’ve been freaking out about wasn’t even that bad! I’m gonna have to call Aunt May soon, but I don’t want to talk to her while Y/N’s in the shower just in case she comes out. And then I was trying to warm up and just use some of the blanket and she just- just sort of… and I-”
“What did you do, Peter?” Ned asks, now serious. “Peter, what did you do?”
Ned’s leaning forward, his eyes now less amused and more concerned. I stumble for a second shaking my head, then step around him just to check that there isn’t anyone in the hallway. I keep one hand on the doorframe and stay half in and half out of the room while I sputter out an answer.
“I didn’t do anything! And I don’t know if that’s wrong given the situation because, I mean, but I did kind of, a little bit, try to wake her up? She muttered something, like ‘shut up’ and I thought she might be awake but now I’m thinking probably not-”
“Peter!” Ned cuts me off.
I take a breath, still shaking, trying to steady myself against the doorframe. Why is this so hard to say out loud?
“We,” I start again. “We sort of cuddled all night by accident -”
“Accident? You don’t just accidentally-”
The water cuts off.
We freeze. Ned and I both whip our heads toward the inside of the room, mouths still half open. I look back at Ned who might as well be mirroring my panic because he seems stunned too. The shower curtain’s scraping against the bar. I flinch.
Time to do this. It’s cool. It’ll be fine. You’re Spider-Man.
“You gotta go!” I whisper, hands flailing.
Ned nods rapidly and turns to his and MJ’s door.
“Wait!” I grab his arm. “Can you bring me a shirt, please?”
Ned slides his card in the other door and looks at me, torn between laughter and pity.
“MJ said I’m not allowed to. She said she’ll bring you your clothes when you deserve them.”
My hands go to my hair again. I really think I might pull all of it out.
Just be cool. I swivel back and rush to the bed. I sit on it. That’s weird. I stand up. That’s weirder. Should I lay back down and pretend to be waking up? No, of course not. Why would you do that?
I hear a bag unzipping. I really wish I had anything besides swim trunks to wear.
I can taste my mouth. Ugh. I open the mini fridge and grab a water bottle. There’s floss on the dresser by the window, I remember Ned leaving it there.
As quickly as I can, I floss, throw out the string, ball up some more and swish it in my mouth with water. That’s a lot of mint going almost nowhere. It’s not great but it isn’t like I can barge into the bathroom for my toothbrush. I spit it into the trash can - or try to; it sticks to my bottom lip and I nearly panic as I tear it off with my fingers and throw it away.
Just be cool, Peter. You don’t have to freak out. You just… have to find a way to apologize that makes up for leaving one of your best friends to cry here alone and spend the eve of a big competition sad and probably hating you completely.
Shit. Shit shit shit shit shit.
I feel like such an ass, waiting for her without a shirt. It sounds like a dick move Flash would do to someone. And he’s the worst.
I turn around to the bed and grab at the sheet, tugging until it comes off, knocking pillows onto the floor at the same time. I wrap it around my shoulders and sit at the foot of the bed. There. That’s probably less weird. I shake my shoulders loose and try to be natural, putting my hands in my lap.
The doorknob turns.
Oh, God.
Part 17
Next chapter: Friday, December 8*
*Hopefully.
