AU-gust, Day 9: Cleaning Crew
A/N: Avengers Crossover and allusions to smut, ahoy!
This ended up way hurt/comfort/fluff than I anticipated and there were almost no sexy times? And it was definitely the Avengers cockblocking Eddie and not the other way around so if there's still interest in that, I could see me writing THAT AU in the future! I just wanted Steve to be properly appreciated, you know? Anyways, happy AU-gust Day 9!
“This is the weirdest NDA I’ve ever seen.”
“Question, how many NDAs have you seen?”
Nancy Wheeler’s pinched face glared at Steve through his Starkphone. “Enough.” She rolled her eyes at Steve and restarted her perusal of the hefty contract Steve had emailed over to her (that she’d insisted on printing and making notes on, because even ten years removed from high school, Nancy Wheeler was thorough.) “There’s some things here regarding interpersonal relationships that seem a little unprecedented.”
“But?” Steve Harrington echoed, his eyebrows near his hairline.
“But you are dealing with the world’s first literal superhero team so these probably aren’t unreasonable requests,” she finished between gritted teeth.
“Great, so I can sign it then.”
“Steve,” Nancy sighed, and she pinched her nose between her eyes, “are you sure you want to do this? If it’s a matter of money - ”
“It’s not, Nance. Neither one of us has to work,” Steve argued back and hey, he wasn’t wrong. The government had been obscenely generous in their payouts after they’d finally defeated Vecna. And, okay, was it a little weird that instead of going to a fancy school or kickstarting his musical career or buying a weed farm that Steve rented a normal apartment and put the rest away into an investment fund? Maybe. Did he need to work, let alone work as a glorified cleaning service for the one percent? No, not at all.
But maintaining one of his (recently-divorced) mother’s properties had turned into a prosperous career because hey, it turns out all of those years spent cleaning up after the kids (and the interdimensional monsters they kept as pets) meant that he was, like, really good at cleaning. (And he was still incredibly insecure about his intelligence, or lack-thereof, and he didn’t want to be the only one who didn’t get into the dream school he applied for.)
And now he’d been personally asked – by Pepper Potts herself, of all people (who apparently played bridge with his mom?) – to take over the general care and upkeep of the personnel apartments at the newly re-christened Avengers Tower in New York City.
(Thank God he’d been out of town at one of Lucas’ basketball games when the whole attack happened; not that he wouldn’t have been willing to help but man, fighting monsters takes a toll when you’re not a superhuman. And he was only thirty.)
“This just feels like a cry for help, Steve. Do you really want to look after the world’s most difficult group of people?”
Steve stared at Nancy without blinking. “I babysat Henderson for years. I feel like I’m still babysitting Henderson.”
“I know, it’s just – I’m just worried that you’re not moving on, Steve.”
And, well, that hurt. Because sure, he didn’t have a doctorate like Robin or Dustin and he wasn’t playing professional sports like Lucas or spearheading global disability rights campaigns like Max or running a prosperous weed farm like Argyle or was part of the reporting and photography duo that was Nancy and Jonathan, nor was he part of a Grammy-winning rock band or a retired superhero or –
(It’s just, at the end of the day, Steve didn’t have really big dreams. After years spent fighting interdimensional monsters that liked to crawl their way out of walls, all of the other stuff – fame, fortune, money, a legacy – it didn’t really feel important anymore. All Steve wanted now, and truthfully, all he really wanted then, was a place to call home and people to belong to.
So honestly, it was really fucking rude of Nancy to judge him for just wanting that. And he was going to be working in close proximity with the Avengers of all people, like, how was that not success? Sure, he’d essentially be a live-in maid, but it wasn’t like he wasn’t doing important work.)
Steve didn’t say any of this to Nancy, of course; he didn’t need to. The looks on her face – shock, and then guilt – said enough.
“Steve - ”
“Thanks for your help, Nance,” he replied quickly, and then he hung up the phone.
(They were all split up now, they had been for years. And keeping them all together, staying together, being a family? That had been his dream for years.
But maybe it was time for a new dream now.
And maybe the Avengers Tower was the perfect place to start.)
/////
Working at the Tower meant that sometimes Steve felt like he was cleaning a frat house, mainly because the communal kitchen was usually covered in junk food wrappers and empty beer bottles and days’ old coffee mugs.
(“Trust me,” Pepper Potts had said drily the first time they’d had a check-in meeting, “this doesn’t come closeto a Tony Stark frat house party.”)
Still, he was on time every day, kept to himself, and most importantly didn’t sell out any information to any of the many, many media outlets that sent him offers. That, along with the fact that apparently Steve had an obscenely high security clearance (thanks, Hawkins!) meant that he was asked to officially move into the staff quarters of Avengers Tower within his first month of work.
(Which had the added effect of him actually meeting the Avengers and, well, it was a little weird.
Because if Steve didn’t know any better, he’d say that they were flirting with him. Or, even worse, that they were staking some sort of claim, and that didn’t make sense, right?
Right?)
/////
1. Tony Stark
“Hey honeybun, how’s it hanging?”
“To the left,” Steve replied absentmindedly as he disinfected the industrial-grade espresso machine.
Someone choked behind him and – shit.
He’d just said that to his BOSS.
(His incredibly hot, incredibly wealthy, incredibly smart and powerful boss.
SHIT.)
“Mr. Stark!” Steve exclaimed as he spun to face his employer. “Mr. Stark, I am so, so sorry, that was so inappropriate - ”
“First of all, please for the love of god call me Tony,” Mr. Stark – Tony – ordered with a smirk as he leaned on the kitchen’s island. He was dressed in an old AC/DC tee that sent a pang through Steve’s heart because wowit reminded him so much of Eddie (although that’s where their style similarities ended, because Eddie always wore loose bottoms and Tony’s pants were always fitted to accentuate his ass.
NOT THAT STEVE HAD BEEN LOOKING.)
“And second of all,” Tony purred as he leaned further across the island, getting right up into Steve’s space, “don’t tease me if you aren’t going to follow through, sweetheart.”
Steve didn’t need a mirror to tell him that he was flushing bright red. “I – I - ”
“Mister Harrington, sir,” JARVIS spoke – which was a fully functional AI that Dustin would die to know about – “there is a call waiting for you on your personal line, a Mister Edward Munson.”
Speak of the devil.
“Oh,” Steve murmured, his face cooling off as quickly as it had heated and he spun around, hands shaking as he looked for a towel. “Yeah, let me just get a towel - ”
“JARVIS, put the call on my line,” he heard Tony order, and then a warm hand was at his back. “I’ve got this, handsome.”
Steve turned just in time to see Tony shoot him a wink and pick up his phone. “Eddie Munson, huh? I’ve heard a lot about you,” Tony started and then he was gone, disappearing out of the kitchen and towards his lab.
“I – JARVIS?”
“Mister Stark is a mystery to behold,” the AI replied with a sigh. “How about a glass of champagne?”
You know what? Fuck it.
“That sounds great, J.”
2. Steve Rogers
“ – and I said, ‘excuse me, but only one of us outsmarted some leftover commie bastards at the age of ten and it wasn’t you, Professor.’”
Steve snorted, listening as Erica detailed her most recent argument – and victory – with her prick of an international relations professor. (A few days after his weird interaction with Tony in the kitchen, he’d been granted access to accept personal calls in the main Avengers spaces, which meant that he had more time to catch up with his friends while cleaning which was a blessing because some of the dusting in this place? Took hours.)
“Doesn’t that break your NDA?”
“Please,” Erica snorted over the living room’s loudspeakers, “I’ve got Owens wrapped around my finger, just like you with a certain member of the one percent.”
“Sorry, what?” Steve paused mid-wipe, looking confusedly at the now-gleaming metallic coffee table in front of him. “What are you talking about?”
“Tony Stark, your knight in iron armor?” Erica replied in her best I’m-talking-to-an-idiot-right-now voice. “Or did you forget that he’s screening your calls?”
“He’s screening my what?”
“Please, we all heard about his little talk with the Nerd King,” she scoffed and oh yeah, he’d forgotten about that. (Honestly, he had no idea what those two had even talked about; when he asked Tony, the older man had changed the subject and ordered super fancy sushi instead.) “Now, if you had a bodyguard like that back at Starcourt, maybe you wouldn’t have gotten your ass kicked by the Russians.”
“What Russians?”
Steve didn’t scream, but he might have let out a high-pitched noise of surprise at the sound of Captain America’s voice. He turned around to find Steve Rogers standing at attention in the living room, his eyes glaring at the speakers overhead.
“Steve,” Erica’s voice echoed slowly, “am I hearing Captain America right now?”
“Just Steve Rogers, ma’am,” the tall blonde replied automatically.
“And just how long have you been there, Just Steve Rogers?”
“Long enough. Now, what is this about the Russians?” He asked, and his piercing blue eyes dropped onto Steve’s face and his heart was beating fast because he was nervous and for no other reason.
“Seriously? How do you not know? Haven’t you read Steve’s file?” Erica asked incredulously and okay, this conversation needed to be done immediately.
Piercing blue eyes grew shocked and Captain Rogers looked, well, sick to his stomach. “You have a file?”
“Okay!” Steve jumped up before this could spiral any further out of hand. “Erica, it was great talking to you, I’ll call you later, uh, Captain Rogers - ”
“Please, call me Steve.”
“Right, Steve, there’s nothing to be, uh, worried about - ”
“She said Russians,” Cap pointed to the ceiling, “so there’s definitely something to be worried about. Does Tony know about the Russians?”
“I’m sorry, did somebody say my name?” Tony popped his head into the room because of course he was also nearby.
“Did you know about this?”
“I know a lot of things, Cap, you’re going to have to be more specific.”
“Did you know that Steve was attacked by Russians?”
“Steve was what?!”
(Steve was then treated to the sight of Iron Man and Captain America reading his security file, staring at him in shock, and then stomping off to do something about their fury? The last part of that entire thing didn’t make sense, but JARVIS sent him some whiskey so hey, it could have been worse.
And if he let Captain Rogers tuck an extra blanket around him during movie night, well, that was just his business.)
3. Natasha Romanoff (and Clint Barton)
“I heard you lost a fight with some Russians.”
“JESUS!” Steve startled, barely stopping himself from dropping Tony’s mother’s expensive China all over the floor. (The porcelain set hadn’t been looked at in years and Pepper wanted to use it for the next investors meeting, so of course this is when the infamous Black Widow approached him.)
“Okay, first of all,” he said after he had set down the dishware and turned to face the smirking redhead, “I didn’t lose the fight, I knocked one out.”
“And then you got surrounded, captured, and were tortured for a total of two hours in a hidden bunker,” she finished. (How did she get her eyebrow to quirk like that? And why did he feel like she was flirting with him but also being mean?)
(And how could he get that skill?)
“I – yeah, you’re not wrong about that,” Steve muttered, glancing away from Natasha. “At least we all made it out alive. And we survived the whole Hawkins earthquake thing.”
Natasha snorted and murmured something under her breath that sounded like Russian but also sounded like metal and frankly didn’t make a lot of sense. She cleared her throat and spoke up and, well, whatever she said before must not have been important. “It’s a good thing you have us to train you.”
“Yeah,” he murmured absentmindedly. Then –
“Wait, what?”
Which is how Steve started spending two hours out of every afternoon “training” with Natasha in the official Avengers’ sparring room. Honestly, he wasn’t sure how much good it was doing, given that “training” mainly consisted of Natasha throwing him around the room and giving him bruises.
(Okay, that he was into, and she knew it too, judging by the wink she’d send him every time he headed off to the showers.)
After a few weeks, when she’d deemed him “competent” enough, she had Clint Barton start “assisting” as well, meaning there were two of them beating him up now which meant twice the embarrassment and twice the bruises.
(And twice the amount of time jerking off in the shower.)
(This was really starting to get out of hand.)
4. Thor and Bruce Banner
“This is really starting to get out of hand.”
“What is?” Robin asked as she poured the last of her Flaming Hot Cheeto dust into her mouth. She was the first person Steve had been able to secure a visitor’s pass for; Dustin was next on the list, followed by Max and Erica and then the rest of the gang (although according to JARVIS they were running into some sort of problem with Eddie’s pass, which could take up to an additional two months? He didn’t fully understand it, JARVIS had told him during breakfast a few days ago and he’d gotten distracted by Natasha throwing knives at Clint’s apple strudel and Steve accidentally breaking the toaster again.)
Steve grimaced as he watched her lick her fingers. “You mean aside from your Cheeto addiction?”
“Hey, this isn’t an addiction, I can stop any time,” she replied with a snort before tossing her empty bag at Steve.
(Gross.)
“Sorry, what were you saying dingus? Something about things getting out of hand?”
“I don’t know, I just,” Steve set down his feather-duster (that he hadn’t even been using, he’d just been tossing it around like his old ice cream scooper) and got close enough to Robin so she could hear his whisper, “I might be reading things wrong, but I’m almost getting the feeling that they’re into me or something?”
Robin frowned. “Who, Eddie?”
“Eddie?” Now it was Steve’s turn to be confused. “No, the Avengers.”
“The AVENGERS?” Robin squeaked just as the door to the elevator banks opened. Steve and Robin whipped around to see Thor enter the main atrium with Dr. Banner on his heels.
“Steve!” Thor shot him a blinding smile and strutted over. Upon reaching Steve he wrapped him up in a hug and lifted him off the ground.
“Hey Thor!” Steve wheezed, trying to pat what he could of Thor’s back.
“How I have missed your countenance, my friend,” Thor boomed, and then he was setting Steve back on the ground –
And kissing him on the lips.
Thor leaned back and beamed, ignoring the fact that Steve was openly gaping at him. “It is good to be home.”
“Yeah? Yeah,” Steve breathed before shooting a quick look at Robin who looked completely and totally dumbfounded.
“And you must be the Lady Robin!” Thor said, turning his mega-watt smile upon Robin who flushed bright red. “Steve has told us of your exploits and your intellect. You would do well amongst the heroes of Asgard.”
“Thank you? I mean, thank you,” Robin squeaked.
(If Steve wasn’t in a state of complete and utter shock, he might have laughed at her, but he couldn’t move.)
“I have also seen the flag of your people,” Thor continued, like he didn’t notice Robin’s utter embarrassment, “and I have a lovely friend named Val who is searching for a paramour of her own. Do you think you would be interested? I could arrange a meeting.”
“Val. Val? As in - ”
“Valkyrie, yes,” Dr. Banner finally cut in sheepishly. “Also, hi, I’m Dr. Banner.”
Robin could only muster up a wave.
“Uh, hi, hi Bruce,” Steve shook his head, forcing himself to get it together it was only a kiss.
“Hi Steve, good to see you,” Bruce replied, and now he was bright red and well apparently Thor was the only person who wasn’t blushing right now and Steve needed to get a handle on this stat.
“That would be great, Thor!” Steve cut in, saving Robin from having to respond. “Robin’s going to be in town for a few more days.”
“Wonderful!” Thor said, turning back to beam at Steve. “I shall invite Val for dinner tomorrow but for now, I shall allow you to return to your revelry. Lady Robin,” he said with a bow towards Robin and then, turning to face Steve, he shot Steve a smug wink. “Steve.” And with that Thor was gone, headed towards Tony’s lab with a still-blushing Bruce Banner hot on his heels.
Steve turned to stare at Robin.
Robin stared back at Steve.
“Holy shit.”
“Holy shit.”
5. The Team
Surprisingly – or unsurprisingly – Robin’s date with Val had gone really, really well; in fact, it had gone so well that Robin transferred her graduate credits to NYU in a matter of days and moved into the Tower as well.
(“Steve. Steve. She’s a literal alien warrior goddess. Who cares where I work? I don’t even need to work.”
Still, the NYU transfer went incredibly smoothly, so smoothly that Steve confronted a certain genius billionaire playboy philanthropist about it. Tony had denied any input and distracted him with more sushi and a thorough tour of his sportscars which had ended up lasting for hours.)
Anyways, with Robin now living as an occupant of the Tower and the rest of the Avengers fully settled in and in agreement on a chore chart, Steve was starting to wonder just why he was still employed; like, what purpose was he serving? He really did try to stay on top of the cleaning, but the others were pitching in almost constantly, and it was a miracle if he was responsible for cooking even one meal a day.
“I just don’t get it,” he finally said to Robin on a particularly hot day in July. They were the sole occupants of the Tower’s rooftop infinity pool (as the Avengers proper were spending the day in a series of meetings), so this was the closest Steve was going to get to having a private conversation with Robin.
(Like, he was really, really glad that Val was so obviously head over heels for his best friend, but it definitely cut down on his and Robin’s cuddle time.)
“Don’t get what, dingus?”
Steve shrugged and ran a wet hand through his drying hair. “I don’t know, why I’m still here? I mean, they aren’t really using me as a cleaner anymore, and I mean, Bruce is a way better cook than me and he’s pretty much taken over so, like, what am I even doing here?”
Robin turned and pushed up her sunglasses so they were making eye contact. “Seriously? You’re serious right now.”
Steve nodded.
“You really don’t see it?”
“See what?”
Groaning, Robin slid her sunglasses back onto her face and turned back towards the horizon. “I’m not going to be the one to spell it out for you, dingus. You’re going to have to do this on your own. Or, better yet, why do you just ask?”
“Uh, maybe because I don’t want to get fired?”
(Robin shoved his head underwater at that which, frankly? Was incredibly rude.
He got his revenge later by knocking her into the pool after she’d finally dried off.)
+ 1 Bucky Barnes
Being fresh off of a highly-advanced plane-ship-thing from Wakanda meant that Steve hadn’t seen a whole lot of James “Bucky” Barnes. He’d sat next to him at dinner a few times, shared a couch during their re-watch of Game of Thrones, even sparred a bit at Natasha’s direction during Steve’s “training,” but they hadn’t really talked, which made the fact that after Steve’s un-helpful swim with Robin, he found said super soldier waiting for him in the hallway outside of his bedroom.
“Bucky, hi,” Steve nodded, rubbing his towel across the back of his neck. “Sorry, did you need something? Is there a problem with - ”
“No problems, doll, I just wanted to have a chat,” the dark-haired man purred, and Steve?
He felt his stomach tangle up in knots.
“A-about what, exactly?”
Bucky hummed and uncrossed his arms, the vibranium arm shimmering under the light. “Well, a little birdie told me you had some questions about what your place is here,” he said, a playful sparkle in his eye. “And,” Bucky stepped closer and backed Steve up until Steve was leaning against the door to his own apartment, “since it seems that my teammates haven’t made your position entirely clear, I thought I would take matters into my own hands.”
Steve didn’t even get a sound out before Bucky was surging forward, planting the sort of kiss on Steve that he knew he’d never recover from because for as forceful and passionate as it was, it was gentle too: the way Bucky’s cybernetic arm wrapped around Steve’s back and help him up; the way his other hand cupped the side of Steve’s face; the way Bucky hummed, like Steve’s lips were the sweetest thing he’d ever tasted;
The way he lifted Steve up and kicked open the door.
“I – I - ” Steve panted out as the door swung shut behind them. “I still - ”
“You’re home, doll,” Bucky murmured against Steve’s lips. “That’s what you are.”
And, well.
Steve couldn’t not kiss him then.
(And he couldn’t not give him every piece of himself in return underneath his silken sheets.)
Four Months Later
“Okay, now this is the weirdest NDA I’ve ever seen.”
Jonathan snorted from across the room as he fiddled with his camera.
“Hey, you were the one that wanted the exclusive,” Steve replied. “I could have told you it would be more intensive.”
“Yeah, yeah, and who’s fault is that?” Nancy teased with a glimmer in her eye. “I’m not the househusband here.”
“Umm excuse me, that’s my job?” Robin piped up from her spot on Val’s lap. “Steve is obviously the trophy wife.”
“Hey!” Steve exclaimed, but then a pair of godly arms wrapped around his waist, a cybernetic arm wrapped around his shoulders, and a pair of expensive lips pressed a hot kiss to his cheek.
“Best trophy wife a guy could ask for,” Tony crooned in his ear and then laughed at Steve’s blush.
(His partners weren’t the good guys, they were evil.)
“Dude, Eddie would shit a brick if he saw this,” Jonathan said with another snort.
“Oh, how is - ”
“Who do you speak of? I am not familiar,” Thor cut Robin’s question off loudly, his thundering voice vibrating up and down Steve’s back.
“I think he said Freddie - ”
“Oh, like Freddy Krueger – Cap, we need you to watch A Nightmare on Elm Street - ”
“ – after the shoot! Do you think Tony will order us sushi again?”
“ – Steve first, Steve, are you in the mood for sushi?”
Steve felt Nancy nudge him, and he turned to see her smiling. “Hey. I’m proud of you.”
“Thanks, Nance,” Steve smiled back.
“It’s good to finally be home.”

Reflections
Part 2
Tw: flashbacks, trauma, Eisoptrophobia, panic attack, past Pet Whumpee
Whumpee couldn’t look at themselves anymore. They couldn’t look at themselves without Whumper’s voice popping into their mind and calling them names… those horrible pet names that they knew Whumpee hated. But they called them it anyways, all to make Whumpee suffer.
It had been a long time since they had been saved, and a long time that Whumper had been locked up. But they reacted the same way every time they looked at their reflection now as they did when seeing themselves for the first time after their rescue. Long, thin cuts and scars were seen across their cheeks, there was bruises on their chin from where Whumper grabbed them whilst calling them names, the indent of the collar Whumpee forced them to wear that Whumpee thought would be there forever, and the bags under their eyes that reminded Whumpee of the nights they were fearful to fall asleep, afraid Whumper would do something to them.
All of those things were gone now, thanks to the love and nurturing of their rescuer, Caretaker. But while their physical appearance was passable, their mental state was nowhere near.
The mirrors, the reflections in every glass, metal, and porcelain object threatened to throw Whumpee back into the dark pits of their mind where it made them think they were back with Whumper. Because every time they looked at themselves, they would see Whumper’s “pet” staring back.
Thus, Caretaker had every mirror removed from their home, and covered everything with a matte finish so there was no shine. And it worked, Whumpee couldn’t see themselves in anything. And it was blissful not having to worry about staring into the sink for too long, because by then they would have recognized their figure among the glass.
Caretaker took Whumpee out for the weekend once. They rented a little beachside cabin where they could watch the sunrise together in the morning. Whumpee was excited, for they hadn’t seen the beach in forever.
That excitement faded quickly when the two walked into the kitchen of their cabin and discovered the countertops gleamed a shiny marble. Caretaker went immediately to place all their stuff on the counters, trying to cover up as much space as possible. They succeeded slightly, though some spaces remained bare.
“We’ll just be careful, it’s gonna be fine.” Caretaker told them, and Whumpee trusted.
Caretaker left Whumpee in the kitchen to go check the rest of the house. When Whumpee got the chance to look around, every shiny item in the house was covered. The bathroom mirror had a jacket covering it, the dresser in the bedroom had a purple blanket laid across it, and Caretaker made makeshift rugs out of towels across the floor. And it worked, making Whumpee feel safe and like they were home.
Whumpee began removing things off the counter so Caretaker could cover them too. As they were doing that, Whumpee brought their luggage to the room.
“You can start unpacking if you want!” They said as Whumpee left the kitchen.
“Okay!” Whumpee replied, unzipping the suitcase to reveal all their clothes.
“We didn’t bring hangers…” Whumpee talked to themself. “Maybe they’ll be some in the closet.”
Whumpee swung open the closet doors and froze. Bile crept up the back of their throat and their hands began to shake uncontrollably as they stared at their reflection in the mirror that suddenly appeared.
My beautiful pet… My precious… My favorite thing… Mine…Mine…
Whumper’s voice emerged once again from the dark corners of their mind, their voice filling Whumpee’s ears and making them unable to ear anything else. Their hands clasped over their ears, trying to shut the noise out, but it was inside their head, so it failed.
The voice went away, and left a horrible ear ringing, giving Whumpee an awful headache instantly. They squeezed their eyes shut so tight their vision was fuzzy when they re-opened their eyes. Whumpee backed up, away from the mirror and into the wall. Their back hit it hard and they slid down onto the floor, still covering their ears.
But then it stopped. All the noises. All the voices. All the thoughts, leaving a dullness in their mind. Whumpee sat on the floor, holding their legs, still able to see themselves in the mirror. Every part of their body shook with fear as they fell down the dark holes in their head, tears rolled down their cheeks and chin wishing for it all to stop.
Whumpee was gone, leaving a traumatized shell of themselves behind.

24 to 25
»»———- day 1 of jess’s 12 days of christmas———-««
pairing: boyfriend!felix x gn!reader
genre: fluff. really really really fluffy
word count: 1.5k and some change
synopsis: just when felix thought he couldn’t possibly fall more in love with you, you only make him fall harder.
fluff prompt no.6 “You look adorable covered in snow.”
request: yes; for my 12 days of christmas event
notes: sweeter than the sweetest treat, cavity-inducing fluff. akin to hallmark christmas movie level sweetness. established relationship, non-gendered pet names (reader calls felix ‘babe’ and felix calls reader ‘baby’). I am not australian so I don’t have experience with christmas in australia nor do I know his childhood experiences with snow, so inaccuracies may be present. header made/edited by me, please don't remove my watermark from the photo.
»»———- thank you to my darling @whatudowhennooneseesyou for your request. writing this felix drabble was a journey for me as I made myself an emotional mess deep in the feels multiple times, *I am in love with lee felix 🥺❤️ okay, moving on* and since this is my FIRST EVER STRAY KIDS piece.
yes, this is a work of fluff. However, I am predominantly an nsfw blog. minors can interact with this piece, but be aware that fluff is NOT my main genre.
A dazzling, mystical wonderland. Smooth, thick blankets of white coat the spindly, barren branches of each hefty tree trunk. Mountain tops are covered in heaps of snow.
The pillowy, knee-deep billows sprawl across the vast acres of land as the blizzard continues to rage outside. It is the winter scene of dreams and those cheesy, cliché brimming holiday-centered films and broadcast specials ingrained in the traditions of the season. The kind of picturesque, fairytale-like sequence which has deeply cemented its presence within the subconscious minds and hearts of generations of mankind.
Having been born in a suburb of Sydney, and living a good part of his life in Australia, experiencing that “white christmas” winter wonderland is just one of those little things Felix hasn’t had all that many opportunities to partake in. One of the memorable times witnessing the well-hyped velvety, snowy splendor came during a trip he took with his members to the city of Busan. The video of a slightly younger, light brown-haired Felix, dressed in a black and grey hooded sweater, red and black plaid flannel, and black puffer coat ever present within your brain’s vault of thoughts since the moment you saw it all those years ago.
Had anyone said to you that 4 years after the aforementioned video was filmed and shared to social media you would be spending the winter season with the cute aussie boy seen in that clip, you surely would have believed you were the punchline of a cruel practical joke. Yet, here you are… dating and passionately in love, preparing to spend what is hopefully the first of many more holiday seasons to come with that very cute, sexy aussie himself.
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ────── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
Finally arriving at the chalet your parents rented for the weekend, after a long and slightly worrisome drive that had taken you and Felix along some rather treacherous mountain roads, the initial thought you have is to take a little stroll and get some circulation flowing back throughout your lower limbs. Straight upon taking in the astounding view of the property where you guys will be celebrating your first christmas together, Felix finds himself in a state of shock and incredulity. His thoughts swirl as the sound of his rapidly beating heart registers in his ears, causing him to fear that you could hear it too. Certainly, he hadn’t expected to feel the wide range of emotional changes happening inside him at this moment.
Winter has always been your favorite season, your favorite time of the year really. There’s just something about dressing up in a cute faux shearling lounge set or festive pajamas with fuzzy socks during the chillier months that feels so rewarding and just hits particularly different. But it’s not just the cute sets and the festive sleepwear that make wintertime special. It’s also there in the idea of grabbing a heavy-knit blanket, cozying up, and wrapping yourselves in the warm quilt. It’s in sitting by a crackling fire, toasting your toes by the fire. Or it’s even found in cuddlin’ tight while sipping on a warm cup of cocoa, that’s actually more like 50% cocoa and 50% whipped cream, marshmallows, sprinkles, and chocolate syrup. It shows in baking winter-themed cookies and having hours-long marathons of the holiday classics and the new holiday releases.
Sharing those special winter moments, doing traditional activities, and making a new batch of memories that exists between only you and your special person is something that your younger self always wished for every single year since you were old enough to grasp the concept of love. And now that you have entered this period of life where you are deemed an acceptable age to love and be loved, all those special moments that the younger you had envisioned for your future self are finally coming to fruition. You have found your special person. Your dream partner. Felix is that special person, that dream partner. And this winter season is just the beginning. You and Felix have a whole lifetime to fill with sharing special moments, and your fonded familial or cultural holiday traditions. And with this new forever, the two of you have many years to fuse those fonded traditions into a beautiful marriage of your holiday festivities with Felix’s australian and korean winter festivities.
Winter also tends to bring out your childlike traits and behaviors that being an adult and contributing member of the greater society requires you to suppress and conceal. These innate traits had been something you felt deeper self-consciousness towards as you aged from an adolescent to a teen and over time to a young adult. While you let self-consciousness delegate your image and run you, Felix sincerely wishes you would embrace the childlike side of yours. Honestly, that’s part of what drew him to you. Being involved in the world of music and the entertainment industry, an industry where public image is everything and if you don’t have the “right” image, you just might lose it all is burdensome. The rigorous trainee life he had endured in order to reach the dream of debut and the ever-so-prohibitive daily schedules, all the rules; the infinite do’s and the don’ts that come with the highly coveted territory of idol life… Felix was starting to grow fatigued by his life. As he found himself beginning to question his path and what he wanted out of his life, the universe had graciously gifted him with what would become his biggest blessing. The universe and the heavens aligned to cause your paths to cross one another.
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ────── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
Allowing your guardedness to waver and indulging in the bubbly exuberance as your heart bursts with glee at the simplistic beauty of the earth in its dormant period. Felix and you have just arrived at the brink of sunset. The snow shows no signs of melting and a cold mist sprawls across the darkening winter sky. You can feel the crunch of snow beneath your feet and the cold bite of snow hitting your cheeks. Sticking your gloved hands out in front of you, you look up towards the orange, pink, and purple hues of the twilight sky. Delicate snowflakes and balls of cottony white gently fall from the sky before melting on your palm and blanketing the earth in plump billows.
The radiant glow and soft smile on your face despite the bitter breeze penetrating your limbs bring warmth to Felix’s heart. Just when he thought he couldn’t, you at this moment have proved that Felix can indeed fall more in love with you. In fact, he believes that the love he has for you will only grow deeper over every moment of the rest of his life. The only logical form of response his heart and mind can agree on as he continues to watch you frolic and dance about in the darkening wintery night is to verbalize the joy, love, and warmth he feels through the form of a bright, infectious chuckle. Hearing Felix’s laugh is always healing for you. It’s one of his traits you love the most. You will forever be endeared by the way Felix’s laugh has remained the same throughout the years.
Upon hearing the sound of your boyfriend’s laughter, you become perplexed and try to distinguish what exact factor about the occurring events and your surroundings had compelled him to express himself via laughter. Sticking your freezing hands back into the pockets of your puffer coat, you turn to look at Felix with a quizzing expression. Confused at your reaction, he nervously gulps as his cheeks flush crimson. Shoving his hands into his coat pockets and rocking in back-and-forth motions on his feet, he tries to speak but his nerves go rampant. An infectious and affectionate grin spreads across your face as you finally truly lay eyes on your lover. “What? What is it, babe? Is something funny or wrong? Why are you laughing, Lixie?” You ask utter confusion setting into your ethereal features. To ease your concern and worry, Felix removes his hands from his pockets and inches closer to you. Then he reaches into your coat pockets and takes hold of your hands, unleashing them from your sides. With your hands now resting in between you two, he intertwines your hands and kisses your left hand through the glove.
“I’m not laughing at you, baby. I- ii-it’s… It’s just that I can’t believe how lucky I am to call you mine. And You look adorable covered in snow.”
Your heart swells with love for the blonde-haired, freckled man whos currently feeling the bone-deep chill of the christmas eve air. How on earth you were the lucky person to love and be loved by the one and only Lee Felix is beyond you, but you thank your lucky stars and the universe for letting you find him. “Yah! I wasn’t trying to get covered in snow. But if anything, the lucky one here is me. I love you, Felix.” You softly reply, eyes sparkling as you look into Felix’s eyes. “I love you too, baby. Thank you for being by my side. This right here, holding you in my arms, is the only present I need.” Felix says, pulling you in close and pressing a soft kiss to your forehead.

my partner and i became homeless in aug 2021, first living in hotels and airbnb for two months and have been staying in our friends' garage since late october. the homeowner now wants us out of the garage this month, but our friends have offered to let us use part of their barn instead.
we need financial help with renovating the barn to make it more livable. i have a part time job, so now i have some income to cover our food, pet care, meds, etc. and will be saving money for this slowly. i am working the absolute maximum i can with hypermobility / burnout. meanwhile my partner is just trying to not drive off a bridge while dealing with chronic illness, pain, trauma, and urgent dental needs. life is stupid but we are alive.
here is the barn in its current state. all the hay was removed, then we removed heavy mats from the floor, scraped mud off, have swept a lot of the floors and walls clean.
we are hoping to raise around $2,000 total which will include sealing one door, renovating the other into a normal door, primer and regular paint, ceiling and insulation, and flooring. someone very kindly already purchased us a portable camping toilet since plumbing can't be added.
a single bedroom in basically any city costs about $1k a month, and require down payment and often last months rent as well. that would easily surpass the cost of this renovation. so, i believe this will be worth it once completed, and from here i will be able to continue at my job and focus on medical care moving forward. we have been in unstable housing for years and now finally have some friends to build a support system with. also, our pets really love this area, and none of us really want to take another road trip to nowhere.

Ok so I've known things have been bad in this country for homeless people but, getting my learners permit yesterday has given me the context necessary to put this into perspective. So bear with me this might be a long post.
Issue 1: There is no public transport in the vast majority of this country. No trains, no busses, not even taxis. The closest we get is Uber which still doesn't cover some areas. This means that to get a job you either have to live within walking distance of your job, or own a car.
Issue 2: In cities due to zoning laws business aren't allowed to be built in the same district as residential buildings, which prevents living within walking distance of your job. Most businesses don't build outside of city limits, so if you were born in a suburb or a rural area you can also rule out walking to work.
Issue 3: Minimum wage works out to about $1,625 a month. Average rent works out to about $1,320 a month for a 2 bedroom apartment. The average house costs about $410,200. Meaning if you have a roommate taking on half of the rent, after rent each month you have $965 left over. Minus roughly $400 for groceries is $565. As we've already established that you need a car to exist in this country let's subtract the average of $915 for car related expenses (gas, insurance, payments on the car because lets be honest there is no way you will be able to afford it up front) and we have suddenly run out of money.
Issue 4: let's talk about getting a license, not the car itself just the license. You will need, your social security card, your birth certificate, 2 proofs of residency, and $25. But what if you are homeless? No proof of residency, no license. Also you have to get someone to drive you there because there is no way you live within walking distance of the DMV, and as we've already established, there is no public transport. But wait there is more. I'm not sure how it works elsewhere, but in my state you have to have had your beginners permit for 3 months before you can apply. So before you can get your license repeat the previous steps 3 months in advance except it only cost $5 this time. You also have to provide your own car for the driving test which leads to a fun catch 22 in that you have to have a job to afford a car, but as we've established you have to have a car to get to your job.
Issue 5: while being homeless isn't technically illegal sleeping in your car is, as is public camping, and begging for money. Benches are being removed. Spikes are being installed under rain shelters. A large percentage of businesses won't hire people with a criminal record, and when you can be arrested for sleeping in the only shelter available to you it can become nearly impossible to get a job to escape homelessness.
Issue 6: homeless shelters are rife with abuse. Homeless people in them often face sexual harassment and abuse, racial discrimination, and sometimes theft by either other shelter residents or caretakers. Not to mention the difficulty of getting into a shelter. They can place a limit on how many personal belongings you can bring with you. They can turn you away if you have any drugs in your system. Many don't allow pets. Many don't have accommodations available for the disabled. Many don't have the facilities to deal with many mental illnesses, several of which are caused in part by being homeless.

Can you give some LightningStorm headcanons? (Idk if you do them)
I can't say I had any pre-planned headcanons until now, but given the question I'll gladly cook up a bunch of them for a potential AU or somethin' XP (note that this *is* just an AU for now, though. I have no real Cars headcanons cemented in place yet lol)
This part is all buildup, the second part is all the short headcanon bits and bobs: (I couldn't help myself, I had to structure a series idea XD)
My headcanon for LightningStorm would have come about following the ending of Cars 3, in a pretty unexpected way. With Cruz leading the way in the racing world in Lightning's stead, he's allowing himself to slow down further and take account of his home life, which...leads to an interesting development between him and Sally, and they end up deciding it's better to end their romantic relationship and just remain as family friends. Around the same time, Lightning is finally having this vague sense of gay awakening that he hasn't really put much thought into until now. So he decides to go out in search of it. He isn't sure what he will find or how, but this is completely new territory for him all of a sudden, and though terrifying, it's also kind of exciting.
He ends up visiting this club down in LA (and if I had to guess, Sally playfully recommended he check it out while he left for his few weeks of personal time) and it's all well and fine...until he's a little tipsy, and he meets this dude. This absolute dream. This young lithe dude with a confident smile and a pleasantly needy - also drunk - body.
One thing leads to another, faster than McQueen could have ever expected things to. They rent a room, and the night is thrilling and new, and Lightning has never felt so at ease with himself. This felt so easy, like they just mirrored each other somehow...
But then come to find out, by the light of the next morning, both males - sporting wicked hangovers - suddenly realize why they felt like they knew each other. Because they did. And not in a good way, exactly. Lightning can't believe he just fucked the guy. Jackson can't believe he loved it. Both were too stunned to even speak, so they left without a word, and vowed they would never speak of the incident again...
Til they saw each other again, anyways. More happenings happen, the both of them violently trying to remove the memories from their minds, and at the same time feeling hopelessly magnetized to them. But, walls start to break, they're each left in vulnerable positions, and with gaping holes in their social lives that only one another really had the capacities to understand and fill. Over the course of a year their relationship would slowly and carefully rekindle itself, until the final push turned to shove when they'd have that passionate night all over again, and devoid of alcohol to boot.
This part is the extras:
Only Sally and Mater really know that *something* is going on between them, and Cal is like the guy who accidentally walks in on them and has sworn never to speak a word of it. The rest of the world merely presumes that they've hashed out their differences and that Lightning could be taking Storm under his wing as a mentor like he did Cruz.
Jackson drops pet names on Lightning a lot, usually "babe" but he'll also use "sparky". He also uses a lot of metaphors to instigate things more cryptically so others don't catch on. You can probably guess what he means when he says "lightning rod"...
They don't eat any of the same foods for the most part, which is a learning curve in their relationship. A lot of Lightning's favorites will disgust Storm and vice versa, but they still make an effort to try to eat with each other when they can.
Because they often travel to the same places during the racing season, they've managed to work out when they're able to hang out just the two of them even while jumping from track to track. Yes, they've made out in one another's trailers before. They can't do much else (aside from maybe a blowjob if they're feeling particularly dangerous) but it's not often they'll actually ride together. That feels too suspicious leaving and showing up to the tracks, you know?
Generally, Storm will bottom since he's a little bit shorter and definitely way less experienced. But please let it be known that he is oftentimes a power bottom (once you get him into it) and if he's charged up enough he WILL turn the tables on Lightning. What's funny is that they also have different pace preferences, Storm being much faster but having way less stamina to last, and Lightning being almost a perfect opposite. The result is usually a lot of flip-flopping between the two and just edging Storm until he finally can't take it anymore.
They spend time off the track in a few different ways, and usually off of a back and forth schedule, ie a "You picked the last thing we did, now it's my turn and then it'll be your turn again". When Jackson picks, they'll play video games together - or Lightning just watches in awe as he plays - or they might watch a movie. When Lightning picks, they usually go on a drive somewhere or do some wacky dad adventure like geocaching (which Storm says he hates but you can't deny the little twinkle of interest in his eyes)
When they do hang out, PDA is to a bare minimum if it exists at all, but when they're sure nobody is looking, they might swipe a few short pecks. Jackson is also, oddly enough, a bit touch-starved and kind of a cuddler, so it's common that over time while they're chilling together he'll just scoot up to Lightning until he's dozing off against him. Or you know, he'll demand attention. He's very cat-like.
Okay that's what I have so far on this! I can't guarantee that I'll make a fic or series out of this BUT it's definitely on my radar with potential to turn out really cute. XP

#InfectedRealtorAu #LuxAbodeSitcom #HoneyImHome #ChateauBungalowAndHazzyBackstory #IllbleedReference#MyIdeas
Lux Abode has another show that is a sitcom called Honey I'm Home.
It's about a Realtor that fell in love with a human but still wants to eat the buyer and adopted a regular guy as a teen but due to budget cuts that same regular guy plays as the dog and the cat in the sitcom.
The logo is the silhouette of the main Realtor character's lure body sitting on top of the silhouette of the house body then have the lure body fall through the house logo then open the door with a heart around the logo.
There is a plot line where the Regular Guy messes up their role and they are half teen with the animal ears but the show just left it in.
This character later became a mascot that lasted 6 seasons and a movie with merch that is super rare.
The sitcom theme is a earworm.
There is a plot line where the buyer wants to know what a Realtor tastes like and plots how to capture one but that's in the non canon Halloween special.
If you seen any sitcom plot line then it's basically like that but with a weird twist and also have clever product placement in the show like in the background or character's randomly causally putting the product name in their sentences.
The Regular Guy that is playing as a teen is a adult but is acting as a teen but needed to be taught by the human actress or actor on what a teenager is since Regular Guys were never babies that grow up but start out as adults once they remove themself from the motherball.
The sitcom is set inside of the house body of the Realtor and this Realtor is well feed with actors or actress maybe part of the staff that arrives late or gets the wrong food orders.
But most of the time normal foods work to satisfy this house.
But one accident ruined this Realtor's whole career. While the staff was done recording the movie and after seeing the premiere decided to want to snatch a buyer because they haven't had human in awhile so this Realtor waited then later found the one.
Chateau Bungalow was this Realtors name and was clean cut and a cult classic celebrity.
But this buyer was smart and before being eaten was a smoker then dropped the cigarette on the floor which caused a fire and badly burned the house body while also damaging the lure.
The buyer did flee the badly damaged house but Chateau both the lure and the house nearly died there but some how survived but seem to have lost his memories with his lines.
Lux Abode easily replaced him with Jetty Shanty since Chateau Bungalow never showed up while his lure wasn't good enough for tv let alone a obscure channel tv show.
Chateau Bungalow tried to do the buyer hunting to survive but his lurebody moved differently along with his voice and the brain fog from the failed snatcher buyer attempt that he was losing his memories of his past life.
He was hurting and starving near death until a creature appeared checking the burned place out to see if the burned debris was edible.
Chateau was scared of the this creature but the fungmammal was nice to this realtor and tried to heal him but it didn't last long.
Sprocket was the name this fungmammal had and looked like a firecracker mixed with a cat.
She protects Chateau and sometimes finds old bootleg vhs tapes of the sitcom so Chateau can get some of his memories back but sometimes wonder where the other actors and actress are doing now.
Chateau did go to see if Hazzy which was the Regular guy in the sitcom was still at the old set but was abandoned since the reboot wasn't as good as the original.
Hazzy was homeless and was stealing food to survive then later rented her Doe ball form as a pet then later took odd jobs that didn't pay well so decided to live close to the motherball thinking of giving up to be reabsorbed.
Sprocket sensed Hazzy and telepathy told Chateau to talk to her then both got captured by the very company they made ads for in the sitcom all those years ago.
But both are now puppets for the company but are both paid decently and can now tell what their job is without lying about their job since it's on a secret channel that only a select few of people stumble on & infected realtors can watch but are not allowed to share the channel.
Sprocket is the fungmammal's name and she is a spitfire.
(I drew her.)
The fungmammal is red, white, and blue colored.
This realtor got scared when they first met this fungmammal since fire almost killed the house body from a past buyer attack.
The business card has 2876 which is Burn in telephone numbers.
Has a mutualism fungmammal that is a fireworks shaped rocket cat.
Acts female but is mushroom gendered.
This realtor's business cards has little burn marks on it and even the mint ones have a little smoke coming from the cards.
But the next batch are mint but it's always the third card this realtor gives out.
The original name of this realtor was Chateau Bungalow before burnt incident then decided to change his first name due to one buyer who was Latin who called the Realtor unfortunate so it just stuck to him. When this Realtor's housebody/lure is resting he relieves the moment.
His voice is a little scuffy when talking and will cough a little bit before talking with a mild brain fog the he will sometimes forget the Realtor speech then stumble on his words.
His walk cycle sometimes is stiff walking kind of similar to a Woodpuppet walking.
Infortunatus Bungalow (Chateau Bungalow) was a pollinator house with a chimney but due to being badly burned in the incident he had to adapt to being a seed bearing house and made his lure body remove his own chimney.
Sprocket would ask this Realtor if they want to swap back to being a pollinator house.
He will rarely change back but he like being a seed bearing more since it's less pressure and gives him more time to think even though that is hard for him since the incident.
My oc did it as a survival thing like in nature how animals adapt with losing a limb or born without certain body parts.
Snek plays Illbleed (No Commentary) (Sega Dreamcast 2001) Part 3 (Woodpuppets) - YouTube
(Just some house puns.)
What is the most common sitcom catch phase a Realtors says to their lover when entering their house body?
Honey I'm home.
What do you call a lure of a Realtor if you are married to them?
A house wife, house husband or house person.
What do you call a realtor or a being that messes with the marriage and cheats on their partner for another?
A homewrecker.

This is what Mr. Banballow looked like before the change.
It's weird after the first, second, and third levels Illbleed never reuses Mr. Banballow, Woodcutters, Worms, and Woodpuppets as enemies for level 5.

Lease Facts: Part One
Lease Facts: Can You Require Tenants to Leave a Faucet Dripping During a Freeze?
Can You Require Tenants to Leave a Faucet Dripping During a Freeze?
In every climate, offering homes for rent comes with a unique concern: How can you ensure your tenants take good seasonal care of the property? Most of the time, landlords can complete these tasks with one or two scheduled seasonal maintenance visits. Clearing the gutters, checking drain and vent lines, trimming foliage back can reduce maintenance demand on your tenants. But what about the tasks that only your tenants can - and must - do when the winter freeze sets in?
Protecting your pipes is the single most demanding part of winter home maintenance that your tenants must do for themselves. Only your tenants can do things like open the cabinets and drip the taps to prevent pipes from freezing. But can you make them? The partnership between landlords and tenants is a complex one. But the short answer is "yes". In fact, we have several different solutions to help you address the risk of frozen pipes in a rental home.
Write a Pipe Care Clause into the Rental Lease
If your goal is to require tenants to take winter-care of a rental home's pipes, you can write it into the lease. The lease is a contractual agreement between landlord and tenant in which both parties agree to certain responsibilities and potential consequences. The landlord agrees to take care of key repairs and maintenance tasks, especially regarding the livability of the house and things beyond the tenant's control. The tenant agrees to adhere to the "house rules", and these can be (almost) anything that the landlord requests.
For example a landlord can require that tenants not smoke in the property, not have pets, or even respect neighborhood quiet hours. You can fine the tenant or even begin eviction processing if they break the rules they signed to in the lease.
Along these lines, if you write a clause that tenants must drip the pipes and open cabinets to protect pipes when the temperature drops, frozen pipes become their responsibility if they do not complete these steps. They agree to do this when they sign the lease and are contractually obliged, but will benefit if you email a reminder each late autumn.
Insulate the Pipes Before Renting the House
Of course, most landlords prefer a more hands-off approach because it is easier than trusting that all tenants a) read the lease carefully and b) remember all their obligations months and years after moving in.
There are precautions you can take to minimize the need to drip pipes and open cabinets during a freeze. This can remove some responsibility from tenants and remove hassle for landlords.
Landlords in wintery regions often find it more worthwhile to fully insulate at-risk pipes before tenants move in. You can also perform surface-level insulation (like covering outdoor taps) during a seasonal visit to minimize the risk of frozen pipes in the winter.
Install Heat Wire Along the Most At-Risk Pipes
Of course, in deep freezes, insulation might not be enough. Depending on your location, it may be more effective to install a heat wire which runs a small electric current along the length of each pipe, generating heat and preventing a freeze. You can even install a smart switch that responds to the temperature or external signal so electricity isn't used during warm weather months.
Make Sure Tenants Understand Their Duty, and the Potential Consequences
Finally, don't forget the value of communication. Most tenants are reasonable people. When they first sign the lease, point out your frozen pipe clause and explain how to protect the pipes in case your tenants have never lived in a wintery region before. Then highlight any consequences that might be leveled if the pipes burst, from the unpleasant experience to any expense your lease may outline.
Then remind your tenants around autumn property maintenance to keep an eye out for freezing weather and to take good care of the pipes. Most tenants will gladly comply rather than deal with frozen pipes in the winter.
Working With Your Tenants to Protect Pipes from Freezing
No one wants to deal with frozen pipes. Your tenants don't want the cold, messy disaster and as the homeowner, you do not want the expense. The best way to protect the pipes of your rental homes is to combine tactics: Both pre-insulate and/or heat your pipes and include a lease clause reminding tenants to drip the pipes during a deep freeze.
Together, you can protect your property and your pipes in all but the most extreme conditions. At Leaf Management, we know all the tips and tricks to create the best rental experiences for both tenants and landlords.

Restoring Comfort and Cleanliness: The Art of Carpet Cleaning
Carpets are an integral part of our living spaces, providing warmth, comfort, and aesthetic appeal to our homes and offices. However, over time, carpets can accumulate dust, dirt, stains, and allergens, affecting both their appearance and the indoor air quality. Carpet cleaning is a crucial maintenance task that not only rejuvenates the look of your carpets but also contributes to a healthier environment. In this article, we delve into the importance of carpet cleaning, various cleaning methods, and the benefits of entrusting this task to professionals.
The Importance of Carpet Cleaning:
Regular carpet cleaning is essential for several reasons:
Enhanced Indoor Air Quality
Carpets act as filters, trapping airborne particles like dust, allergens, and pollutants. Over time, these particles can settle deep within the carpet fibers, affecting the air quality in your space. Proper cleaning helps remove these contaminants, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.
Prolonged Carpet Lifespan
Regular cleaning prevents dirt and debris from embedding deep into the carpet fibers, which can cause them to wear out faster. By removing these particles, you can extend the lifespan of your carpets, saving you the cost of frequent replacements.
Aesthetics and Appearance
Clean carpets contribute to the overall aesthetics of your space. Stains, spots, and dirt can make even the most beautiful carpet look dull and unappealing. Professional cleaning restores the vibrancy and beauty of your carpets.
Allergen and Dust Mite Reduction
Carpets can harbor allergens like dust mites, pollen, and pet dander. Thorough cleaning helps minimize these allergens, providing relief to individuals with allergies or respiratory issues.
Carpet Cleaning Methods:
Various methods are employed for carpet cleaning, each with its own set of advantages and considerations:
Hot Water Extraction (Steam Cleaning)
This method involves injecting hot water and cleaning solution into the carpet fibers and then extracting the mixture along with dirt and debris. It's highly effective in deep cleaning and removing tough stains. However, it requires drying time.
Dry Carpet Cleaning
Dry cleaning methods use minimal or no water and involve the application of cleaning agents, which are then vacuumed along with dirt. This method is quicker and doesn't require drying time, making it suitable for busy areas.
Bonnet Cleaning
This method is often used in commercial settings. A cleaning solution is applied to the carpet, and a rotating bonnet (a pad attached to a machine) is used to scrub and absorb dirt. It's a surface-level cleaning method.
Shampooing
Shampooing involves applying a foamy cleaning solution to the carpet and then agitating it to loosen dirt. The foam is then allowed to dry, after which it's vacuumed along with the dirt. It's less commonly used due to concerns about residue buildup.
Encapsulation
In this method, a cleaning solution is applied that encapsulates dirt particles, which are then vacuumed away once they dry. It's efficient and leaves behind minimal residue.
Benefits of Professional Carpet Cleaning:
While DIY carpet cleaning is an option, professional carpet cleaning offers several distinct advantages:
Expertise and Equipment
Professional cleaners are equipped with the knowledge and tools to assess the type of carpet, select the appropriate cleaning method, and handle tough stains effectively.
Thorough Cleaning
Professional cleaners have access to commercial-grade equipment that can penetrate deep into the carpet fibers, ensuring a more thorough cleaning than typical household machines.
Stain Removal
Stubborn stains that may be difficult to remove with household products can often be successfully tackled by professionals using specialized cleaning agents.
Time and Convenience
Professional cleaning saves you time and effort. You won't have to rent or purchase equipment, move furniture, or spend hours cleaning. Professionals handle the task efficiently.
Prevention of Over-Wetting
Over-wetting the carpet during cleaning can lead to mold growth and other issues. Professionals know how to balance water usage and drying to prevent such problems.

End of Lease Pest Control Tarneit
Whether you’re a landlord or a tenant, pest infestations can be a serious problem. They cause health hazards and damage property.
Landlords must make sure their properties are pest-free before leasing or vacating them. Similarly, tenants must ensure their homes are clean and sanitary before moving out.
Prevent Pest Infestations
If you are a landlord, you know how important it is to keep your rental property pest-free. A pest infestation can be a huge hassle for both you and your tenants, especially when you have to deal with all the associated costs.
One of the most effective ways to prevent pests is to fix any issues that might be attracting them in the first place. This can include things like standing water, cracked pipes and walls, and food left out.
Another way to prevent pests is by regularly inspecting your rental property. Look for signs of pests like droppings, urine trails, and rodent nests.
If your rental property is infested with pests, you should get them treated quickly. This can help you save time, money, and headaches in the long run.
Eliminate Pests
Whether you are renting out your property or living in it, it is important to eliminate pests before moving out. Besides the obvious threat that pests pose to health, they can damage and destroy valuable objects.
Many rental leases contain stipulations for the landlord or tenants to exterminate pests. However, it can be a confusing matter for tenants and landlords to decide who is responsible for the cost of pest extermination.
It is also important to remember that pests carry diseases, making them dangerous to your health. Getting rid of pests before they infest your home or apartment will ensure that you can re-rent it to another tenant.
Fortunately, you can easily get rid of pests using effective pest control solutions. In fact, you can even make your property more attractive to prospective renters by eliminating pests before they arrive!
Keep Pests Away
Pests can take a toll on your home, making it unsafe and unhealthy. Mice, rats and cockroaches carry disease, bee stings and spider bites are a health risk, and fleas and bedbugs spread skin allergies and infections.
If you want to keep your home free of pests, consider hiring a pest control Tarneit company to get rid of them for you. They’ll come out and make sure that your rental property is clean, healthy and safe for you and your tenants.
End of lease pest control Tarneit companies will also provide you with tips to help prevent infestations in the future. This includes using quality pesticides, ensuring that your home’s walls are strong and keeping your pets away from the premises.
If you do have an infestation, the first thing that you should do is let your landlord know about it. This will ensure that you’re not held responsible for the problem later on. It can also help you protect your rights as a landlord and give you more time to fix the problem.
Get Rid of Pests
If you are a landlord, it may be your responsibility to get rid of pests before you hand your rental property over to a new tenant. This is because under New South Wales Fair Trading legislation, it is a requirement to provide a reasonably clean rental property at the start of the tenancy.
In most cases, this means general pest control for cockroaches, fleas and spiders and termite protection. If you do not take care of this, you could lose all or part of your rental bond.
The best way to get rid of the pests at your Tarneit rental property is to hire professional pest control services that know how to do it right. At RF Pest Treatment, we offer expert pest inspections and pest removal at very reasonable prices. With our assistance, you will be able to enjoy a pest-free home or business at all times. Our pest control Tarneit experts will also give you some tips on how to keep the buggers at bay.
