Night of the Living Wish
Javier Peña x female reader Co-written with @absurdthirst
Rating: E for Explicit! 18+ Word Count: 11.4k Warnings: The one that got away. Cursing, alcohol and alcohol consumption, self-doubt, Steve Murphy is Big Brother Energy, wish fulfillment, magic, hair pulling, oral sex (f receiving), vaginal sex, unprotected sex, sex in someone else's bed. Summary: Determined to put years of pining to an end, Steve and Connie invite you and Javier to their blow out Halloween costume party the year after returning from Colombia. With the help of some very special costumes, this party is set to be a night to remember. Notes: The first of two Spooky themed one-shots for our now-annual Spooktober celebration!
Tumblr media
It took a while to get here, and you're not sure if you're slightly embarrassed about that or not. You've sent letters back and forth with Steve and racked up long distance bills calling Connie from California, but any kind of communication with your other partner in Texas has seemed like too big of a bridge to gap. That is, until you had gotten the card in the mail from the Murphys a month ago, inviting you out to Miami for Halloween weekend.
A big costume party with their friends is their excuse to invite you out to the east coast, and since you've just wrapped up a case pretty neatly, you don't feel bad about taking a few days off. You managed to find a costume shop on a side street while you were walking around the city earlier and deftly avoided having to settle for a murderous clown or anything involving a mask by finding a nymph costume in your size. Maybe a sexy costume wouldn't have been your first choice but it isn't bad, and now you're sitting in the back of a cab wrapped in your coat to avoid lewd comments from the driver on your way from the hotel down to the Murphy's house. It will be good to see Steve and Connie again. It will. Even if you're dreading not knowing if Javi will be there or not.
******
“A fucking Halloween party?” The drink in Javi’s hand doesn’t seem nearly stiff enough as he watches Connie bustle around the kitchen, putting the finishing touches on the trays of food to serve.
“You know you could help.” Steve huffs, work gloves on as he load a faux cauldron with dry ice in the center of the table in the living room.
“I’m here, aren’t I?” Javi asks, smirking slightly as he holds out his arms. “In costume.”
“Hardly.” Connie rolls her eyes, albeit playfully. “You’re wearing your own clothes. Like that is an outfit you would just wear regularly. I had to ask if you even knew it was a costume party.”
“Hey….” Javi pouts and then pulls the glasses out of his pocket to open them up after setting down his drink. Making a show of putting them on. “Now.” He huffs. “Recognize me?”
“Manwhore Clark Kent.” Steve jokes as he swings through the living room making sure that all the decorations are in place. He even goes so far as to adjust the plastic spider in the white webbing over the kitchen door so it’s at the most optimum angle to creep someone out.
“Ah, no.” Javi points a finger at his old partner and then flips him the bird. “Life, uh, finds a way.” He quotes, having watched the movie more than a few times because he enjoyed it. Not because of this party.
Connie snorts, mostly at the impression, and takes a bite out of a carrot stick from the veggie platter before shaking her head at Javi fondly. “Jeff Goldblum is far sexier,” she teases. “And I still say that wearing your own clothes is cheating.”
He frowns, even though he loves Connie, it stings his pride that Jeff Goldblum is sexier. “Not everything is mine.” He protests. “The glasses and the fucking pimp necklace came from that costume shop.”
“Then I stand correction.” She was teasing just to make him pout, and now that she’s accomplished that goal she offers him a beaming grin instead. Messing with Javi is one of the delights missing from her life these days and she’s glad to see him. Steve is too, although he grumbles about it more. “You did very well, Jav. Excellent costume.”
“Thank you, Connie.” He scoops her up into his arms and kisses her cheek. “And you are a very sexy Queen Cleopatra.” He smirks. “Black hair looks good on you.”
“We thought it was a fun change of pace.” Steve - dressed as Marc Antony - throws his wife a wink. They had talked about doing a little Halloween-inspired role play and Connie wanted to change up her look a little just for fun. “No snakes though, baby. Those bad boys stay outside.”
“Really?” Javi grins. “You’d look really sexy with a big snake.” He teases, winking at her.
Undeterred, Connie just smiles. “That’s why I married Steve,” she tells Javi with a wink. “Biggest one I could possibly find.”
“That’s because you hadn’t met me yet.” Javi enjoys poking at Steve, watching the man huff and grumble under his breath. Not like he would admit to his wife that his partner had him beat in the dick measuring department.
“Whatever makes you feel better, Jav.” Connie laughs, only leaving the living room when the front door rings to go and open it. “Here we go!” She announces with glee. Whether it’s trick or treaters or party guests doesn’t matter. She’s just glad to have an active night tonight.
Javi picks up his drink again and takes a sip. It’s good to see the Murphy’s again. Especially since he wasn’t sure they would stay together the last time he had seen them. Swirling his ice around, he wonders if you are coming. Steve had told him that you were in California, but he hadn’t mentioned if you had been invited.
The door was a mix, and the sound of trick or treaters is quickly replaced with the first flood of party guests. Plenty of people that Javi doesn’t recognize all come into the house in a great wave of introductions, but there is one single recognizable voice right at the end. The high-pitched squealing isn’t enough on its own, but it’s very distinctly your voice that exclaims: “Oh my god, you look gorgeous!”
Javi swallows slightly, lifting his glass to his lips to down the rest of his whiskey. The sound of your voice bringing back the next to last time he saw you. An image he had thought about more than a few times over the past year. How close he had come to crossing that line with you. Looking towards the door, he sees your arms flung around Connie and your head covered in some kind of twisty crown thing made of plastic that looks like sticks and flowers.
“It’s so good to see you again.” You’re practically in tears over it, honestly, having missed your best friend dearly since she left Colombia ahead of her husband. That was a rough time and everyone was glad to see the hard portion of the Murphy’s road smooth out in time.
“I keep telling you to trade California beaches for Miami beaches.” Connie squeezes you once more before she pulls back to look at you. “Okay…what are you with the coat?”
“I didn’t want to give the cab driver an eye full,” you admit, and easily take off the long rain jacket that you had been covering yourself with. The ‘nymph’ costume is skimpy but not overly so, just very obvious about highlighting your tits and the skirt is hiked up to halfway up one thigh…because they can? You don’t quite understand it. It’s definitely not historically correct Greek clothing.
“Hot damn, mama.” Connie whistles. “Don’t you look sexy? Steve, doesn’t she look sexy?” Turning her head towards her husband, she grins when she sees Javi nearly choke on his own spit.
“I know you said costumes from your own clothing are cheating so I—” Already halfway out a justification for the choice, you freeze in the doorway to the living room when you see “Javi?”
“Hey, muñequita.” Javi shoots you a small grin. “Been a long time.” He shuffles forward and wraps his arm around you, still holding his empty glass. “How have you been?”
“Good.” Even a measly hug shouldn’t feel this good, but you tell yourself that it’s reasonable to miss your friends after not seeing them for so long. That it has nothing to do with what almost happened. “Busy. I’ve been busy. Just wrapped another case. How’s Texas?”
“Slow.” He rolls his eyes but he can’t deny that he’s a hell of a lot less stressed on the ranch. “Meant to call you, but by the time you’re off work, Pop is snoring in his chair and I’m wiped out.” It’s a lame excuse for why he could never pick up the phone to hear your voice, but it’s the one he will use.
“It’s fine.” You had assumed that his interest in you had waned, not being in the same place anymore, and tried not to take it too hard. Or too personally. “I was just undercover for six months anyway…”
“Really?” Immediately Javi frowns, not liking the sound of that. Undercover work is dangerous and he doesn’t know your partners now.
“Traffickers.” You shrug like it doesn’t matter because honestly? You had a hell of a lot worse in Colombia. “No big deal, it took a while to get in where I needed to be.”
“You got out clean.” His brows raise seriously. Despite the fact he hasn’t seen you in a year, he hates the way that his stomach rolls at the idea of you being undercover without him watching out for you.
“I’m fine, Jav. No knight in shining armour shit this time.” Not like last time. When he’d had to rescue you from an undercover stint under the guise of a sting. That was…ugly.
He doesn’t like it, but he trusts you. Knowing you wouldn’t lie to him about that. “Good.” He grunts and bites his lip. “Drink?”
"Fuck yes." You can't help but laugh at the offer. "I spent the entire cab ride fending off the driver. I deserve it."
“Wearing that, I’m not surprised.” He’s never seen so much skin on you, unless you count the night he was pulling off your- no. He can’t think about that. He wouldn’t survive tonight if he started thinking about that.
“I had a coat on,” you defend, knowing that you had worn one for exactly that reason. Some men just can’t help themselves. They have to comment — or worse. “But now you owe me a fancy drink,” you insist, falling back on your old habit of teasing Javi. “You can’t bust me about my costume when you showed up in your own clothes.”
“I didn’t show up on my own clothes.” He pouts as you obviously don’t recognize the genius behind his costume.
“You totally did.” The shake of your head is amused, though, and you nudge him toward the counter beside the kitchen where the Murphy’s have set up a bar. “I saw Jurassic Park, Jav. Just because you own the same clothes as Ian Malcolm doesn’t mean it’s a costume.”
He huffs and rolls his eyes. “I don’t wear these stupid glasses.” He reminds you. “Or wear a chain. Or a bracelet.” He holds up his wrist as proof.
“You bought accessories.” The grin you flash at his pouty annoyance is genuine and you grab a bottle of rum to shake in his direction. “Please, Jav?” You give him your best innocent eyes when she crosses his arms at you and motion to the whole bar of ingredients and mixers. “You make way better mojitos than I do.”
He rolls his eyes and huffs, but he snatches the bottle from you. “You can never make a decent drink, muñequita.” He teases you.
“Maybe not.” It’s so easy to fall back into old patterns with him. The teasing and natural flirting that you never even realized you were doing until Murphy had called you on it one night in a stake out. “But I open a mean beer.”
“Oh yeah, that’s a necessary skill to have.” He smirks. Almost about to say something sexist but he knows you will punch him. “Come on. Let’s go to the kitchen. See if Connie has some mint leaves.”
“I guarantee she does, because you’re here.” The only person who loves Javi’s mojitos more than you is Connie, so you are more than certain that she is prepared. “So what have you been up to?” Even a small lull in conversation is too much for you to consider, and you aim for small talk instead.
“Nothing but fixing fences and trying to keep my pop from killing himself.” Javi snorts, guiding you into the kitchen and over to the bar so he can make your mojitos.
“It must be nice to see him again.” At least you hope it is. You’d hate to think Javi’s been unhappy. Regardless of whatever did or did not end up happening between you, he was still your partner.
“Of course it is.” Javi moves with sure hands. Eyeballing the measurements and looking up at you. “Have you been liking California?”
“Sun, surf, and beautiful people. What’s not to like?” That’s what you keep telling yourself when you miss your friends — and Javi — during your day-to-day life. That there’s no reason not to enjoy California. But the truth is that you’re lonely despite being surrounded by people constantly.
“It’s too bright, the salt is shit and people are assholes.” Javi grunts, even though he wouldn’t mind going to see you on a beach.
“Well I guess I won’t invite you to visit, then.” You would have been too nervous to offer anyway, but at least this way it’s about teasing and you can hide that you’re a little disappointed about it.
Javi frowns, hearing the hurt in your voice and he doesn’t know what to say. “I wouldn’t mind it.” He confesses. “Women in thong bikinis are never a bad thing.” He wonders if you have one and if you wear it to the beach. Reminding him of when he was pulling- no. He can’t think about that.
“Then Miami will be perfect for you.” If all he cares about is ogling women in bikinis? He can stay right here in Florida for that. “Wouldn’t want to get in the way of your skirt chasing by actually wanting to see you.”
He frowns even more, obviously having put his foot in his mouth again. “Muñequita….” He sighs and shakes his head. “Nevermind.”
“It’s fine.” You promise him, trying to act breezy when he hands you your drink and your fingers brush by accident. Sparks are not breezy, but you’re certain they’re one sided. “I shouldn’t have presumed. Anyway, um…thanks. For the drink.”
“No--" Javi is tired of the missed communication between the two of you. “I’d want to see your bikini.” He admits. Feeling bolder than normal around you. It’s easy with women he doesn’t care about. Respect, sure. He respects all women, but he cares about you. “Been trying to not think about those panties I had in my hand when the phone rang a year ago.”
“Oh.” That hadn’t been what you expected to hear in response, so when you pause it’s with your mouth half open and the glass at your chin. “I…” You’ve thought about that night every single day since, and it hasn’t gotten any easier to stomach the memory. “I wish I hadn’t picked up,” you confess quietly, setting the glass down again.
“Just would have fucking called again.” Javi snorts. “I was going home, one way or another.” He pours himself another whiskey. “Just glad I didn’t drag you two down with me.”
It was supposed to be a game. Javi had told you to pick up the phone with fire in his eyes, intent on making you cum while you carried on a conversation with whoever was on the other end. Thankfully in the end you had been able to convince the ambassador that you were only at Javi’s place for a post-work drink and you hadn’t been kicked off the case. “No…no, we finished it…” you sigh, knowing it should have been Javi to take the bastard down.
“Proud of you for that.” Javi tells you. “Watched every day news report when it came out. Even kept the paper that had your pictures in it.”
“It should’ve been you.” That has always been the private consensus between you and Steve. It should have been Javi on that roof with you.
“I fucked up.” That will never be something that he tries to shift blame on. He knew he was playing with fire. When he got burned, he accepted it. “I would have been there if I could. But it doesn’t take away from what you did.”
“We finished what you started.” For you it’s as simple as that, and you finally take a drink after shrugging your shoulders. “Fuuuck that’s good. I missed having my own personal bartender.”
He snorts and takes another sip of his own drink. Preferring to keep his own simple, he did enjoy making cocktails for you and Connie. Ignoring the way that Steve had teased him about a secret desire to be a bartender. “Glad you enjoy it. You���ll be hammered in no time.” He teases.
“Maybe I won’t mind the cabbie hitting on me all the way back to the hotel,” you snort, taking another long sip of the drink. Though you might wish that night a year ago had gone differently, it didn’t. You and Javi never got to take that next step, and now you probably never will.
Javi glowers, mumbling under his breath about that being bullshit as he takes another drink. Ten minutes with you and he’s already feeling possessive.
“Is it?” That’s news to you, but at least it’s not you and you alone who’s still sore about what happened between you.
His dark eyes slide over to you and he stares at you for a moment. “You want to be hit on by some cabbie?”
“No.” The way he’s looking at you makes you feel positively fucking naked, and not in a sexy way. Like Javi’s once again figured out how to look into your soul. “But if I was drunk I might not mind as much. Sometimes empty compliments are nice.”
“Empty compliments are just that, empty.” Javi steps closer to you, the ice in his glass clinking together. “You deserve real compliments.”
“Those have been pretty hard to come by over the last year.” Which is probably for the best, if you're honest. You’ve focused on work and enjoyed the photos of your sister’s family up in Oregon when she sends them every few weeks. In return, you send your niece and nephew goodies from California in a monthly care package. It was tough being undercover now that you have that relationship back. But it’s been tougher missing Javi. “One guy I knew used to give them out like candy. I never knew he meant them until it was almost too late.”
“Sounds like an asshole.” Javi snorts, shrugging slightly. “Most guys are when they realize they aren’t good enough for what they want.”
“Oh, bullshit.” You roll your eyes at him. “You were the single most sought after bachelor in the whole damn country. Nobody was out of reach.”
“There’s a difference between wanting to fuck someone and be with someone.” He murmurs quietly. “A big difference. Finding out you aren’t worthy of a woman is a humbling thing.”
Having been sipping steadily at your drink this whole time, you stop when you realize what he’s saying and put the empty glass down on the counter. “So it wouldn’t have just been a fling?” That question has itched at you for ages, and having an answer for it is both relieving and disappointing. Knowing you were moments away from having him - all of him - makes you wish all over again that you could have not picked up that phone.
“That’s the question, isn’t it?” Javi doesn’t give you an answer, aware that despite everything, you never reached out to him either. You had been the one to immediately promise to be there and start putting your clothes back on. Obviously regretting what was about to happen. “Guess it doesn’t matter now.”
“Sure. Right. Why would it?” Instantly you wish the glass was full again, and you groan internally. This is the guy you’re still hung up on? Really? The least emotionally available man in all of the Americas and he is the one your heart is set on. What a joke — and it’s entirely on you.
He’s still a little bitter that every time a call was for him, it wasn’t you. It was Steve. “Yeah.” He drains his glass and sighs. “Gonna go back out there.”
“Awesome.” You’re gonna go pour more rum in your glass and hope there’s still flavour left in the sugar-muddled mint, then see if any of Connie’s friends are hot. After the left turn your conversation with Javi just took, you could use a couple of empty compliments just to feel human again.
The fact that the conversation went right where he wanted it to and then took a hard left turn pisses him off. His jaw clenched as he walks back into the room, he considers leaving. He doesn’t want to watch you get plastered and giggly. Especially wearing that little costume you’ve got on.
“There you are.” Steve Murphy’s large, pale hand claps down on Javi’s shoulder just as he’s considering running, and he smiles as jovially as always. “Thought you’d gone extinct on us,” he jokes, immediately laughing at his own bad reference.
“I’m gonna head out.” Javi tells his old partner. He doesn’t want to get in the way of your good time and he doesn’t want to remember what almost happened a year ago.
“Noooo. No, you’re not.” Fixing him with a stern look, Steve crosses his arms and leans against the wall beside Javi. “What happened? You guys were hitting it off again. There were practically sparklers going off.”
“Same shit.” Javi shrugs. “She’s not gonna have a good time while I’m here. I’ll just- swing by tomorrow.”
“She asks about you every time we talk,” Steve offers, his expression softening measurably. “She mentioned you at least twice a day every single day we were still in that shit hole. That woman is deeply in love with you and Connie set this whole thing up to get you two in the same room again.”
“Except I pay her compliments and she thinks I’m blowing smoke up her ass.” Javi grumbles. “Takes every fucking thing I say out of context.”
“Maybe be a little more forthcoming this time?” Like a cosmic big brother, Steve is ready and willing to give advice even when unsolicited. “I know you gave her the bullshit about not being good enough for her.”
“It’s fucking true.” Javi snorts. “I fucking got kicked out of Colombia, remember?”
“You’re missing the point, Peña.” Steve shakes his head in exasperation. “You don’t get to decide if you’re good enough for her or not. Only she does. So stop throwing yourself a goddamn pity party and actually let her have a say in her life.” When he shrugs again, he’s smirking. “If you still love her, I mean.”
“Pendejo.” Javi hisses, hating how raw that single comment makes him feel. “Fuck you for that.” He shakes his head and turns around to stomp back into the kitchen.
When Javi reappears you're standing by the fridge, forced into polite chitchat with a couple that Connie works with at the hospital because they came into the room while you were staring at the photo of you, Steve, Javi, and Connie from a rare night off in Colombia. They have it pinned to the fridge with a magnet and you were standing there mooning over Javi's arm being around your waist when you got ambushed by extroverts.
Javi doesn’t comment on the way that the couple are set on either side of you. Walking over to the bar and pouring himself a drink. Hating that things have gotten so complicated. He had meant to apologize, to explain why he hadn’t called, but he had managed to piss you off.
The best you can do is hope to catch his eye across the kitchen while one of Connie's fellow nurses talks at you about whatever soap opera she's been watching lately that you mistakenly admitted to recognizing the name of. You desperately need a rescue but can't even get a word in edgewise to excuse yourself from the deluge.
He isn’t going to look over at you. He had promised himself that he would leave you alone. Despite what Steve said, you had made your feelings clear. So he’s berating himself when he glances over to find you giving every ‘get me out of here’ signal you can give. “Hey baby, there you are.” Javi hums, walking towards you to save the day.
It doesn’t even matter that he’s playing the fake boyfriend card, although that does make your heart ache a little. You’re just grateful to be able to use the moment as an excuse to break away from the droning soap opera fan for a minute. “I was just getting to know some of Connie’s coworkers,” you explain, gladly and easily welcoming him into your side with an arm around his waist when he strides over.
“Don’t mind if I steal her, do you?” Even though he’s giving an apologetic look, he’s already turning you away. Never one to really be all that nice unless he wants something with strangers and they don’t look like people he would want anything from.
"Awe, of course not." Even thought the woman who has been talking at you looks disappointed, she smiles sweetly. "She'd been looking at that picture of you guys and now I see why. Missin' her fella."
“Yeah.” He doesn’t comment further, just pulling you close as he guides you away. “Were they as bad as I think they were?” He asks quietly as you both walk out of the kitchen.
“Honestly? I think I blacked out for a second there.” Your laugh is relieved, though, and you have to swallow the sigh that wants to bubble out of you at having him close again. “Thanks for the rescue. I guess I do still need the occasional knight in shining armor moment.”
“It looked painful when I saw you.” Javi admits. His fingers dig into your hip slightly. “And I’ll come to your rescue whenever you want.”
Face to face with him again, you feel that knot of guilt twist in your stomach again and swallow a sigh. “I’m sorry I didn’t call,” you murmur, when the two of you come to a stop against one wall of the crowded living room. “I should have.”
“It was better that you didn’t.” Javi tells you. “For your career. You don’t want to be associated with me. My name is dirt.”
“I don’t actually give a shit,” you tell him with a shrug, leaning against the wall and a little against his side. “If nothing else…even if nothing had happened? I still care about you. And I should have called.”
“I picked up the phone a dozen times.” He admits quietly.
“We’re such a fuckin’ mess.” Laughing at yourself makes it slightly better, even if the whole situation still makes you ache.
“Cautious.” Javi prefers that. “We know how hard it is to be in a relationship with our - your - job.” He reminds you, nodding towards the living room. “Almost broke up the best damn couple I know.”
His hand is still at your waist, his shoulder firm beside your head, and lean into him that much more without even meaning to. “Does that mean it’s not worth trying?” You ask, actually voicing the question that’s been in your mind for longer than you came to admit.
“I never said that.” He mumbles, turning and staring at you somberly. While he might think that you deserve better and shouldn’t get involved with him, he respects you enough to let you chose your own path.
“I…kinda hate California,” you admit quietly, although a smirk has reached your lips. “I know that’s sacrilegious and everybody’s supposed to love LA, but I…asked to be transferred out of Graceland.”
“Where are you planning on going, muñequita?” He asks, his thumb rubbing your side as he continues to hold you close.
“I’m not sure yet.” Between his warmth and more than a little bit of rum, you feel soft and as best to relaxed as a government agent ever gets. “Gonna stay on the border to stay most helpful, I know that for sure.” You bite the corner of your mouth and look up at him. “I was thinking…maybe Texas.”
“Yeah?” Javi’s brow shoots up and he looks over at you. “Any reason why?” He asks, even though he knows the answer.
"Depends." You could swear there is hope in his eyes, and it twists your stomach like a knot. "If I tell you the truth are you gonna deflect or are you gonna accept it?"
“All things are plausible with Chaos Theory.” Javi changes his voice to sound like Ian Malcom and shoots you a grin.
"Jav--" Despite snorting a laugh at the dead-on impression, you shake your head. "I'm serious."
“You’ve already done it.” Javi rationalizes. “So tell me why you did.”
Suddenly the reasoning seems so small. It isn't the grand romantic gesture that you imagined when you had signed your transfer request, it's awkward and presumptuous and full proof that you got in over your head with him. Like that first kiss you shared broke the seal on your reasonable thinking or something. "Because..." A slight shiver shakes through you and you know it's just nerves but it's fucking embarrassing, so your voice drops to even lower and quieter than before. "--I still love you."
The confession hits Javi square in the chest, warming him inside and out. Especially sweet because you know of his past, you were there while he was living it out. “That’s good.” He murmurs, his lips curling up. “At least we will both get the ‘I told you so’ from Steve and Connie.”
"How so?" Javi has dozens of quirks to his smiles, and this one is equal parts pleased and full to the brim with mischief. This is the Javi who dragged you out to a club in the middle of Medellín to dance the stress out. The Javi who picked your apartment door's lock to be waiting there with a bottle of whiskey and a container of soup the one and only day you were too knock-down drag-out sick to function at work.
“You don’t think that this isn’t a grand scheme to get us together?” Javi asks, smirking as he looks around the party. “I bet that they have a bet going on how long it will take for us to disappear.”
"They didn't even tell me you were coming," you point out, amused at the idea of your friends plotting for you, but not entirely convinced. "For the record, I would have found a much skimpier costume if I had known you were coming."
“How much fucking skimpier could you go?” He asks, sliding his hand down about five inches to the edge of your hem.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" The smirk on your lips is borderline evil, but his hand on you makes you feel daring.
“Shit.” He hisses between his teeth. “Good fucking thing I’m not carrying a gun right now. I’d kill the fucker that tried touching you.”
"That's awfully territorial of you, Peña." Especially since you've spilled your guts to him and he hasn't said how he feels one way or the other, but you're not trying to get a marriage proposal or anything crazy.
“I’ve always been protective.” He reminds you. Leaning in and pressing his forehead to yours. “Especially those I love.”
"Yeah?" It would only take about a half a tilt of your head to kiss him like this, but you know once you cross that line again - at least tonight - you're not going to be able to stop yourself. And the Murphy's living room floor in the middle of a party of people isn't exactly where or how you dreamed of finally being able to be with Javi for the first time.
“Yeah.” He breathes out, sighing softly. “Muñequita.” He begins, stopping and smiling. “Do you know why I called you that all this time?”
"Because I'm adorable like a little doll?" Honestly, you had never bothered to ask, just accepting the term of endearment at face value and reveling in any small bit of intimacy you could grasp between the two of you.
“My pop used to call my mom that.” He admits quietly. “His ‘poppet’.”
“Javi…” He so rarely talks about his mother that you never could have known, and you all but melt against him right there and then. “That’s—its so sweet, I almost can’t stand it.”
“They were sweet.” Javi chuckles. “Pop is a hardass. Gruff, stoic, but ma? She was his poppet, his muñequita, and he loved her until the day she died.” He shrugs. “Loves her now. And she’s been gone for fifteen years.”
“Sounds like a love story worth aspiring to.” Somehow your hand has ended up in his at your side, and you tangle your fingers together experimentally only to feel them slide into place with ease as he lets you in.
“When you arrived and I got to know you,” he sighs. “It just seemed natural.” He knows that he holds a lot back, that he doesn’t talk but it’s hard to articulate.
“I was so sure you hated me for like the first few months I was in Colombia.” Javi’s standoffish behaviour and gruff comments hadn’t exactly read as friendly, but slowly you realized that that was just him. And once you understood that it was a hell of a lot easier to let things roll off your back.
“Never hated you. Wanted to fuck you.” He admits easily. He’s a man who enjoys sex and engaged in it as often as he could. Of course the pretty new agent coming in would catch his attention.
“Yeah that wasn’t how it came off at all,” you snort, able to laugh about it now that years have passed and so much has changed.
“It wasn’t supposed to come off that way.” Javi admits. “Didn’t want those assholes in the office to think that you were less than a top tier agent.” He knows the reputation he had crafted down in Colombia, and he knows what it could have done to your own reputation if he had shown interest. So he had kept his distance.
“More knight in shining armor behavior?” You tease, knowing that it isn’t quite the same.
“Self preservation.” He snorts. “They’d make a crack about what position they wanted to put you in, I’d be in the ambassador’s office for shoving a gun up their ass.”
“You probably shouldn’t be around the guys in the LA office, then.” It’s part of being a working woman in a field that’s considered for men, and you knew that going in. You ignore the comments and do your work, making sure to keep your nose clean and your paperwork immaculate. But the comments get made all the same.
“Assholes.” Javi rolls his eyes. “I fucked a lot, but how often did I talk about it?”
“You didn’t need to.” The smirk on your face says it all. “We all saw the secretary’s faces the next day.”
“Still didn’t brag.”
“No, you didn’t.” You have to agree to that. Javi may be an absolute rake, but he’s a respectful one.
“So what do we do now?” Javi asks, feeling like he is in uncharted territory. He doesn’t know how you really want to do this, or what exactly you want from him.
“Hell if I know.” There is a nervousness through both of you that would be a lot more nerve wracking if you weren’t both scared. At least that puts you in equal footing. “I feel like we’re a hell of a lot better at cracking jokes and deflecting than we are at talking through shit.”
“Why would we talk about feelings?” Javi scoffs playfully. “Right now, I think you need another mojito.”
“Trying to get me drunk, Peña?” Even teasing him, you still lean into his side and let him lead you back toward the kitchen. The door to that conversation is open for later, and maybe you actually won’t be too afraid to have it now. But for right now? It’s a party. And he’s right — you need another mojito.
“So I got this amulet at the cutest little costume shop.” The wife out of the couple has picked out another victim as she holds up her necklace. “The shop owner was kidding, but he told me that I could have my greatest desire if I just wished it!”
“Oh my god!” Gasps the woman she is now talking to, who clearly is completely on board with the story. “What would you even wish for?”
“Right now?” She laughs and shrugs. “I don’t know? A pizza? Yeah. I wish for a pizza.”
You roll your eyes discreetly at Javi and happily let him lead you over to the bar, but it does strike you as a fantastic coincidence when the door bell rings mere seconds later and you hear “Pizza delivery!” Called out from the front porch of Steve and Connie’s house.
“Who ordered pizza?” Steve calls out as he rushes towards the door. He hadn’t ordered it, but even if it was kids playing a prank, pizza sounds amazing right now.
The two women wander out of the kitchen looking bewildered and you throw Javi a smirk. “Weird ass coincidence.”
“That is a weird ass coincidence.” Javi muses. “Unless she ordered the pizza.”
“Already that drunk so early in the night?” You snicker softly. “That’s how you know it’s a good party.”
“Or to make whatever gullible sap she got her hooks in believe that wish thing.” He huffs.
"You don't believe in wishes?" The pout you throw him is adorable as he rolls his eyes at you and takes your glass to make you a new drink.
“I’ll believe it when shit like that actually works.” He grumbles as he starts to mix another mojito.
"Maybe if you wish out loud like she did, it will work." His generally disgruntled self makes you sunny, and that contrast has always been one of the thing that amused you about how you and Javi work together.
“Yeah?” Javi snorts in amusement as he looks up at you with an arched eyebrow. “I wish you’d show me your tits.” He teases.
There's no one in the kitchen with you, and that's the key. You quickly look around to make sure that no one is even by the door, and when you can see that everyone is at least six feet away with their back to the kitchen you slide the wide straps of your dress down your shoulders to expose your breasts -- all the while keeping one watchful eye on the other partygoers and the other on Javi.
He damn near drops the glass, he’s so shocked that you’ve flashed your tits at him. Mouth hanging open even after you’re pulling your dress back up. “You—”
"What?" You giggle evilly, tucking yourself back into your dress before anybody else can see. "I made your wish come true."
“Muñequita.” He breathes, shaking his head. “That’s cheating. The real wish would have been true if somehow your dress had ripped outside of your control.”
The crackling in the air is unexpected, but definitely not more expected than the tearing of fabric that happens immediately after. The seams rip haphazardly but they give way all at once, splitting your dress in half and exposing the skimpy lingerie you managed to wiggle into underneath. It happens too fast to react right away, but a second later you gasp and are too stunned to even think of covering yourself.
“Santa mierda.” Not particularly religious, Javi’s eyes are immediately looking up and then around to see if there is something that could have caused that. “I—”
"What the hell?!" When your hands finally catch up to your mind, you pull the shredded edges of your dress together with wide eyes. The effort to cover yourself is slightly in vain, though. It was a very skimpy dress.
“I didn’t- what the fuck just happened?” Javi demands, even as he’s moving towards you and reaching for the edges of your dress.
"Beats the fuck out of me, but I definitely need something else to wear now." If you weren't so confused you would probably be laughing your ass off. Standing in the Murphy's kitchen is not how you imagined your dress getting torn open with Javi pressed against you.
“What do you want to wear?” Javi moves so he is blocking your body from view if anyone comes in. “We can go get something out of Connie and Steve’s room.”
"I'll go grab one of Connie's old dresses if you just go and tell her what happened." How he'll possibly manage to explain it is beyond you, but right now you're more focused on remembering the layout of the Murphy's little ranch house so you don't stumble into Olivia's room instead of finding your way to Connie's closet.
Javi shakes his head, thankful that there is another door leading out into the hallway for you to try to keep from being seen. He heads out towards the living room and over towards the costumed Cleopatra. “Hey, Con, uh….so muñequita’s dress ripped and she’s gonna borrow something out of your closet. That’s okay, right?”
“What?” Connie turns around to find Javi’s face full of confusion and maybe even concern. “Yeah, of course it is! What happened?”
“I- I don’t know.” He admits. “It just…ripped apart.” She’s giving him a look that doubts what he’s saying, but how does he explain this without sounding completely crazy. “I told her that my wish would be for her dress to rip open and it just…did.”
The dubious expression on Connie’s face is obvious, and she raises one eyebrow. “Like…magic?”
“Like fucking magic.” Javi huffs, knowing it sounds crazy.
Dubiousness goes to skepticism and Connie snorts. “You got hands in the kitchen and ripped her costume? It’s fine, Javi. But now Steve owes me a fancy dinner out.”
“I swear to God, I didn’t fucking touch her.” He knows she won’t believe him, but he’s still trying to sort out exactly what had happened.
“Jav, it’s fine.” The shit eating grin on her face is just because she’s glad for her friends, it really is. “I would offer you the guest room but my sister has already called dibs on it for the whole week.”
He groans, rolling his eyes since it’s not even worth trying to tell her again. “Just- be careful about wishing for shit tonight.” He warns her before walking back to the back of the house where the bedrooms are.
“Connie?” Expecting to see her head pop around the corner, you quickly realize that the footfalls are too heavy to be hers. “No. That’s not Connie, that’s Javi.”
"Hey." Javi knocks on that almost closed door. "It's me." He murmurs. "Can I come in?" He doesn't know what the fuck is going on but he wants to make sure that you are okay.
“Of course.” Now wearing an old pair of Connie’s scrubs with your gold flats, you just look like a nurse who makes poor shoes choices. “You okay? Or are you still…shaky?”
"Shaky?" Javi pushes the door open and slips inside. "Who the fuck was shaky?" HIs scoff isn't nearly as derisive as it should have been, but he glowers at you in concern.
“Or was that just being too excited to see what panties I had on?” He isn’t going to give up his nerves, apparently, so you switch to teasing instead.
"I can find better ways to see what kind of panties you have on." That makes him smirk and his eyes slide down to admire the way you fill out those scrubs. He relaxes because it seems like you aren't hurt so his shoulders roll back slightly.
“Maybe I’ll wish for you to show me,” you hum, moving across the room to sink into his arms.
The urge to have you washes over him. Burning hotter than any other impulse he's ever had. Completely overriding every thought that might have been present and making his arms wrap around you tight as his mouth descends on yours with a hunger that has him groaning.
It hits you like a freight train, the way Javi’s need seems to be all-encompassing, and you can’t help but moan into the kiss when he wraps you up against him. It’s exactly the way you remember it from a year ago, but maybe a little more abrupt. You seem to remember Javi being a little bit smoother last time. But since when do you mind enthusiasm?
Determined to touch you as quickly as possible, Javi starts to push you back towards the large, king-sized bed that dominates the room. Not even thinking about how it would piss Steve off if he fucked you on his bed. If he had been thinking about it, he would have done it on purpose, but right now he just wants to touch you.
“Javi!” Even as he’s pushing you back on the bed, every thought has left your mind. He’s the reason you came here and the reason you’ve been planning on changing your life and this is finally happening so you’ll send Connie some apology flowers later and move on with your life. His hands squeeze and grope your body as he doesn’t even let go to get you on the bed. It’s like he can’t let go of you. “Cariño?” Something in his mannerisms change, and even though his kiss is every bit as insistent as you remember, his touch is different. It’s…like his hands are glued to you. When you pull back he sounds pained more than anything else. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” He grunts, rocking his hips forward and it’s insane, crazy, but the words come out of his mouth. “Tell me to show you what I’ve imagined.” He begs softly, his teeth scraping over your jaw. “Wish it.”
Does it really work? And does it work like that specifically? Or is it just tonight’s token sex game? Either way, your body is far too deeply on fire for you to argue. “I wish you would show me what you’ve imagined.”
It’s a fucking relief to be able to touch more of you. To be able to move to start to immediately strip off the clothes you had just put on.
“Fuck—” As strong and sure as he usually is, Javi is even more determined tonight. Like every movement is being commanded. “Don’t rip anything,” you warn him with a grin.
“I’ll pay Connie for the outfit.” He groans, not caring what he rips as long as he gets to touch you. Fingers curling under the band of the scrub bottoms and peeling them off of you along with your panties.
You scramble backward on the bed as soon as your pants are gone, forcing Javi to climb on with you and sprawl across your body like he’s trying to block out the light. “We’ll be buying them a new comforter, too.”
“Fuck ‘em.” Javi groans, hands sliding under the shirt so he can push it up over your head and see your tits again.
“Goddamn, Javi.” His mouth is on your skin in an instant, hot and wet and searching, making sure you have to clamp one hand down over your mouth to keep from moaning too loudly and alerting the rest of the party.
Now he’s playing out every fantasy he’s ever had of you. Rocking his hard cock against your core while he bites and licks at your tits through the thin material of your bra.
“I swear to god if a phone rings anywhere I will break it in half,” you groan, one hand threaded through Javi’s curls to tug at his hair while he devours your tits and the other trying desperately to maneuver enough to unbutton his shirt in the meantime.
He doesn’t even try to move. Too focused on you so he can hear you moan his name like you had when he was about to fuck you the last time. He’s jerked off thinking about that moan for the last year.
You’re practically tearing his own clothes away. Whatever you can get your hands in while you’re flat on your back is getting pulled open and shoved aside so you can get him as stripped down as you are, and when that doesn’t get you very far you shiver your hands behind your back and strip away your bra to let him at every inch of your skin.
Groaning, Javi attacks your tits with renewed enthusiasm. Mouth recovering every inch of skin he had just mapped. Enjoying the warmth of your skin even more.
He's like a man starved, and you genuinely have to wonder if he's gone as crazy over the last year as you have. It's been torture being apart from him, and maybe it really is the same for him because it feels like Javi is trying to burrow under your skin right now. "Baby." The only coherent thought in your head is that you want more, and you hope you can manage a full sentence. "I need you, Javi. Please."
Huffing against your skin, Javi releases your nipple and starts to kiss down your stomach. Not willing to just rush into sex even though the house is full of people. He’s going to show you what he imagined.
He's disarmingly methodical. Taking you apart piece by piece and making sure that you're not only aching but actively begging for him by the time he settles himself between your legs. It's where he belongs, dammit, and right now you need him more than breathing.
Your scent is heavy in his nostrils. Getting richer as he shuffles to spread your legs wide enough to fit his shoulders through. “Fuck.”
"Not yet," you giggle but the sound is breathy and deep in your chest. "You do whatever you want with that mouth of yours, first."
“Always thought about this.” He admits, nuzzling your thigh and then biting it. “I like licking a cunt, and thought about what you would taste like.”
A shiver rolls through you with each nip to your skin and your hips tilt down, dripping pussy begging for attention. "Time to find out."
Javi licks his lips and groans. Ducking his head down and opening his mouth to devour your pussy with the first long lick. Eyes rolling back in pleasure at the wet heat of your tangy essence.
"Oh my fucking god." Even as hard as you're trying to be quiet, there are some things in life worth being vocal about. Javier Peña eating your pussy is definitely one of them. His arms wrap themselves around your thighs and once more your fingers twine into his curls to keep him close.
His own eyes flutter in pleasure as he carves a path through your folds with his tongue. Indulging in giving pleasure rather than taking it. While he had made sure partners enjoyed themselves, this was honestly for him.
His grip keeps you from squirming, only making sure that your hips stay on the bed while Javi begins to methodically take you apart one lick at a time. If this is what he has wished for, for who knows how long? You're absolutely going to enjoy being on the receiving end of all of those pent-up fantasies.
His fingers dig into your thighs, holding you open as your legs threaten to close every time he swipes his tongue up and down your pussy. Feeling your ass clench under you and his eyes slide down to watch your tits shake as you quiver.
Every swipe of his tongue hits something exquisite inside you, twisting and pulling at that coil at the base of your spine that is always tingling with the impending need for release. Gasping and moaning his name as quietly as you can with so much pleasure hearing your blood, your nails scrape the base of his skull as you get closer and closer to cumming.
Javi’s eyes close when you scratch his head, shuddering in response to the pleasure. Groaning into your folds and worshiping at the alter of your cunt as he feasts and sips your juices.
Fingers tangling more determinedly with every second, you know how close you are. How loud you’re going to end up being if you don’t keep your mouth shut. So you slap you hand over your mouth and bite your lip, tugging on Javi’s hair that much harder to spur him on.
Javi hisses, twisting his tongue around your clit before he sucks it into his mouth. His nose buried into the thick folds protecting your sensitive flesh as he wills you to cum for him.
So close you're about to rocket off the edge of pleasure, a thought rolls through your mind that you let out instantly, wondering what will happen. "Wish it," you moan, so close you're nearly sobbing. "Wish for me to drench your tongue, Jav."
Right now he couldn’t even speak, so his wish is in his mind. Begging for you to come apart for him, needing to see it.
From that moment it’s as if you are being moved — guided — by the hands of Fate. Or, possibly more accurately, thrown off the precipice of pleasure like a chess piece being forcibly ejected from its game. There is no one to catch you but Javi, as you pant out his name in muffled ecstasy, but that is all you need. Just him, ready to drown himself in every drop of cum he can wring from your body.
He drags you hips closer, groaning as he feels the force of your reaction to him, to this. Curling his tongue up inside you as your thighs press against his head and squeeze.
Barely shy of screaming his name as you fall apart, the giggling puddle of a person you become when you finally stop shaking is downright comical. “Goddamn,” you manage to huff out, panting to catch your breath.
A few more licks before he’s satisfied, Javi smirks as he pulls his mouth away from your soaked cunt. “What’s wrong, muñequita? Cat got your tongue?”
“You’re the one with your tongue in my pussy,” you quip with your wit since your body is now basically useless.
He snorts and indulges himself with biting your thigh like he’s imagined hundreds of times. “Sure fuckin’ did.”
“I didn’t pull too hard, did I?” The fingers that you still have in his hair smooth of his scalp to soothe any burn that might be left behind.
“No.” Javi still needs to touch you, show you what else he’s thought of and starts to lick and kiss up your body. “Not hard enough.”
“Should’ve known you would like it h—” When his teeth more than graze one of your nipples, you moan unrestrainedly. “Hard.”
Javi grunts, the sound more like a growl than anything as he starts to suckle on your nipple again.
“Fucking hell, Javi.” Your back bows, chest pushing itself up with the curve of that arch to soak up as much of his attention as possible.
Even as he’s paying attention to your tits, his hips are slotted between yours. Pressing the length of him against your clit as he starts to rock his hips.
It splits your body’s attention and casts a fuzzy cloud over your mind where instinct takes over again above everything else. All you want is more of him and the movement of your own hips is a mimic of the way Javi rocks against you. If you could do it blind, you’d be tipping your hips to take him inside you as fast as humanly fucking possible, but he has you at his mercy.
“Impatient.” Javi chuckles, smirking as he pops your nipple out of his mouth.
“Only cause we’re in somebody else’s bed,” you admit. “Otherwise? It should take hours.”
He snorts and is willing to say that the Murphy’s can just fuck off, but he doesn’t. Instead he slides his hand between your bodies and positions himself at your welcoming entrance. “Are you sure, baby?”
“So fucking sure.” It’s been a year of dreaming about the night you almost had and far more than that of daydreaming about him before you knew exactly what his kisses tasted like. “No hesitation.”
“Thank God.” He groans, pulling his hand away so he can slide it under your body. Slowly rocking his hips forward to break you open as his lips descend on yours.
You would have laughed if there was time. A pleased little giggle of understanding after having waited so long to be with him. But waiting has made you both eager, and the moment he slips inside you and you wrap your legs around his waist? There is nothing to laugh about.
It’s painful, holding back and not just slamming his hips home to bury his cock. But it’s worth it to see your face change as he fills you inch by inch. Slow and steady is a very specific kind of torture. Your mouth falls open in a silent moan as he pushes forward, and you swear you’re seeing stars by the time he’s fully seated inside you. Only slightly longer than average, Javi’s cock is girthy with prominent veins that scrub along your walls as he starts to rock his hips back and forth. Every sensation is a desperate, delicious, perfect overload of your senses and you whimper in a pitiful bid for more.
A long, colorful stream of Spanish and English intertwined together falls out of his mouth. A filthy prayer to whatever Gods were listening as he feels like his entire body is going to pull in on himself like a black hole of pleasure. Those words breathed into you and moaned in praise.
Even if you know exactly how he feels, you don’t have the words to tell him anymore. You’ve lost the ability to express yourself with any kind of eloquence, or in any way at all, and instead are pouring everything you have into kissing him back and pushing back against every thrust to give both of you your maximum pleasure.
The pace is slow, steady to start with. Needing to feel everything as he rocks his hips and fills you completely every time he bottoms out. “Baby, you- fuck.” He hisses.
This time you do giggle, it it’s broken by a moan. “Yeah I do,” you tease with a grin.
“Tease.” He grunts, shaking his head and kissing you again. His next thrust is more jarring as he snaps his hips forward for emphasis.
"Worth it," you contend, when a few quick thrusts leave you completely breathless.
He rolls his eyes and slides the arm that isn’t around you down to your thigh to pull it up on his hip so he can thrust just a bit deeper into you. “Fuck.” He hisses.
The give and take, push and pull, is intoxicating. Everything about this night has been unexpected and you’re not about to start questioning it now. There’s nowhere else you would rather be, now or for the rest of your life. Slowly, the need gets the best of him. Starting to move faster, putting a bit more force into his thrusts as he fucks you.
It’s impossible not to get wrapped up in him. Even if he didn’t have one arm literally wrapped around you, you would still be lost in being close to him. The world is nothing but Javi now and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
“Wanted you every damn day we were in that fucking office.” He pants quietly. “Wondering what you would look like spread out, sound like.” He bites your chin. “Never could imagine that you were better than my dreams.”
“So much fucking better.” The number of times you had fantasized about him is completely beyond counting but this is far beyond anything you thought it could be. You fit together like you were always meant to find each other this way.
Instead of ramping up to a frantic pace, Javi keeps it steady and just on the sensual side of things. Nearly lovemaking.
You’ve definitely been gone too long. Someone will have noticed, and it will be Steve, but you can’t bring yourself to care. Not with that coil of tension pulling tight in your belly and making your legs shake. “So—” Panting in his ear, you turn your head and bite Javi’s jawline the way he loves doing to you. “Fuck baby. So close.”
“Good.” He groans, teeth becoming a part of the kisses he is scattering over your skin. Fingers digging in just a bit harder as his pace falters for the first time.
Just because you didn’t mean it as permission doesn’t mean it can’t be taken that way, and your nails dig their way into Javi’s back as his thrusts get deeper and more erratic.
“Cum for me, muñequita.” He begs, feeling his own control starting to slip. It’s the climax of his dreams and wishes for the past year, quickly making it difficult to maintain stamina for long. He’s too pent up, too eager to have you.
As if he wished it again, you can feel the tension in your body snap like a rubber band. All of a sudden your body hurtles over the edge of pleasure, pulling Javi into you as tightly and deeply as your needy cunt possibly can while you groan into his kiss and press little half-moons into his back with your fingernails.
It's like the floodgates opening, soaking him as you convulse underneath him. "Oh fuck, baby." He moans quietly, steadily rocking into you to make sure you don't miss a second of the pleasure.
“Come on, Javi.” As unbelievably fucking good as it feels, it won’t be complete unless he comes with you. “Cum for me, baby.”
His hands tighten on your body, gripping you as if he's afraid to let you go. As if you might slip away even if you are encouraging him to cum. Gritting his teeth as his pace becomes frantic. Needing only another moment, another thrust before he's cumming. Pushing deep and groaning your name as he fills you. Pouring wave after wave of hot cum into you as he presses his lips to yours.
“Fucking hell.” When both of your bodies are finally still and you feel like you can gasp for air again, you leave lingering kisses on his lips and jaw, indulging in every second of contact.
Javi pants, closing his eyes and pressing his forehead to yours when you stop kissing him. "Fuck is right."
You giggle softly, eyes closed against the feeling of him weighing you down. Afraid somewhere in your mind that if you open them you might find out this was all a dream. “You’re coming back to my hotel tonight…right?”
"Or you can come back to mine." He nuzzles into your neck, kissing your jaw and scraping it with his teeth. "Whatever you want, muñequita."
“Mine has a huge hot tub.” If he hadn’t just completely devastated you, you’d be ready to jump him again at the first nip of teeth. “I plan on riding you in it.”
"Oh?" His brow arches and he pulls away to smirk down at you. "You had those plans when you booked the room?"
“I had those dreams when I booked the room.” You suck a mark into the hollow of his throat and grin. “It’s only a plan now that this happened.”
"I don't mind that dream." He hums. "We can make it a reality."
“All my dirty dreams have a very Javi-esque leading man,” You promise him. “You should feel very flattered.”
"I am." He drolls playfully, leaning in and kissing you again.
“The chain is sexy, by the way.” He still has the necklace and bracelet on that he bought at the costume store and your fingers tangle in it, locked between your chests. “Just so you know.”
"Yeah?" He smirks and winks at you. "It's a little flashy for my tastes, but if you like it..."
"Definitely keep it." As if to prove your point, you use it to tug him a little closer and press another kiss to his lips. "Who knows? It might be magic like the woman downstairs who wished for pizza."
“Yeah?” He snorts. “Maybe the fairy costume you were wearing is magic. That’s why it ripped.”
"It was a nymph costume," you correct him with a pout. "And you should have seen the way your eyes bugged out of your head when you saw me in it. I'm gonna miss that dress."
“You think that shop has another?” Javi asks seriously. “We could go get it.”
“Ohhh, you really liked that dress.” The way you can’t help snickering is almost evil, but he’s still laying on top of you with his softening cock about to slip out of your pussy and you swear you felt it twitch.
"Bend over in it and I get to see your cunt." His hand slides down and he slaps your thigh after one last kiss.
“I’ll let you do more than look if you want to.” The wink you shoot him is devilish, and accompanied by a wide grin. “We have a whole lot of missed time to make up for.”
Javi grunts as he feels himself fall out of you and he shifts onto his back. Looking up at the ceiling for a second and reminding himself that he's on Murphy's bed and not his own. "Yes we do." He groans as he sits up and looks over at you. "Wanna get out of here?" He asks. "Start making it up?"
“Absolutely.” You’ll pull on the scrubs you were borrowing from Connie and you’ll get the hell out of here with Javi for the rest of this first glorious night. But first? You will absolutely be opening the window to let the room air out.
"Leave it." Javi tells you when you move over to the window, guessing what you are going to do. He grins wickedly and tilts his head towards the door. "Steve deserves it for all the shit he's given me."
It takes a couple of minutes to get yourselves straightened out, but once you do, you’re prepared to just say good night and offer to but the Murphy’s dinner tomorrow as both thanks and an apology for slipping out early. What you find when you leave the bedroom, however, is nothing short of chaos. A woman dressed as a cowgirl stands amazed with a pony in the middle of the living room. One guy is standing in the middle of a pile of money cradling the keys to a new car. Another has two beautiful women vying for his attention. The woman who wanted pizza now has an entire stack — it seems like you and Javi weren’t the only ones throwing your wishes around for fun.
"Fuck, there you are." Steve looks positively relieved to see the two of you as he drags Connie over to you. "What the fuck is going on?"
“Do you believe in magic, Murph?” You ask, raising one eyebrow even as Javi’s fingers kink through your own.
He rolls his eyes and then they fall on your joined hands. "Holy shit, maybe miracles do happen if you holding hands means what I think it means."
“You don’t want to know what it means.” It’s your assurance, but you crack a grin anyway. “Just…be careful what you wish for tonight. Okay, Stevie?”
"Huh?" He frowns, but Connie bites her lip, rushing forward to give you a hug. She knows how long you have pined for Javi.
“We’re gonna get out of here,” you murmur, squeezing her back in a tight hug. “Dinner tomorrow. On us. I wanna hear how the rest of this party goes.”
“It’s getting crazy.” Connie admits, hugging you fiercely and stepping back to shoot Javi a grin. “Go have fun you two.”
“Don’t worry,” you shout back over your shoulder as Javi immediately starts to move you toward the door. “We will!”
Javi wraps his arm around you as you exit the house, guiding you towards the rental car he had driven over. “They are in for a wild night.” He predicts. “Steve’s been wishing for threesome for years.”

There are two major versions of the story of Narcissus. The first is the one everyone knows about, where Narcissus rejects the nymph Echo, who fades away after he rudely rejects her.
The other one that always gets censored by modern writers involves a young man by the name of Ameinias, who confesses his love to Narcissus. Narcissus hands him or mails him a sword, telling him to kill himself. Ameinias as revenge for this incredibly terrible rejection does kill himself. Right on Narcissus’ doorstep. And he uses his dying curse to curse Narcissus to die feeling the same longing and pain that he’s inflicted on all the people he’s rejected so harshly.
And Narcissus does die according to Ameinias’ curse. He sees his own reflection for the first time in a pond shortly after, and knowing that he can never have a relationship with himself, commits suicide by the pond, dying in the same way he had told Ameinias to die.
Narcissus sucked either way. And the Echo version is still compelling. As are all the versions where he either drowns or wastes away, paralleling the demise of Echo. But other major variations of myths aren’t usually glossed over the way Ameinias often is. It’s homophobia. We all know it’s homophobia. Poor Echo and Ameinias both deserve better. In the world of their tragedies and in the way that storytellers treat them.

Love? Love. (part 2)
Andy Barber x Reader
warnings-age gap,slow burn,smut
i hope yall enjoy this, i wrote it from the pit of despair.
p.s.- i promise you dom daddy andy is cumming soon ;)
..................................................................................................................
The night following the fateful events of Andy sweating like a damn teenager after meeting y/n had resulted in restless sleep sprinkled with incessant thoughts of her. Did she have a boyfriend? hmm that would be bad But the thought of her being available is somehow worse damn it Andrew! You are not a silly little boy anymore, you are a grown ass man and you can talk to a girl without giggling and kicking your feet in the air! As the morning rolled in, it seemed like Andy's prayers were answered as a smiling Y/n was once again at his doorstep. she looked different in the morning, somehow more majestic.Still in her sleep shorts and her hair in a messy bun. lips looked plumper somehow, hints of slumber still in her eyes. "Good morning Andy", she grumbles. " Good morning, angel," Andy tries to test the waters, "missed me so soon?" fuck! I sound like a creep! maybe I should jus- His thoughts are interrupted with a soft giggle, "Yes, Mr. Barber, you couldn't possibly fathom how hard it was for me to spend all that time away from you", she rolls her eyes, but smiles nonetheless. there's some truth to it, she couldn't exactly shrug of the feeling of….. um…. Andy from her heart and her mind and especially her pussy. the low vibrato of his voice was enough to cause her to flood with heat and arousal, "yes Andy! right there", His tongue lapping at my cilt I bet he's a fucking munch when it comes to eating out I bet he's a biter I bet he'd slap my face with it I bet he was one for holding me down and pounding me into the mattress I bet he'd cum in m- GIRL- IT'S 9 IN THE MORNING
She does that thing again, where she tries to divert her eyes from the man in front of her, "um, I think the mailman might have accidentally delivered our stuff to you." The sudden shyness in her demeanor doesn't go unnoticed by Andy's watchful eyes. "I just had Jacob bring in the mail, why don't you come in and make yourself comfortable while you sort through the stuff?", he ushers her inside. Jacob's eyes light up as he sees her, "Y/n! I was just thinking about you! my chemistry grades are sooooo tanked and i need your help", he looks at Andy, "Dad, would it be alright if y/n tutored me?" "Sure, Jake, I mean if she finds time in her schedule", they look at y/n for an answer. " Sure thing, I'm free by 6 p.m. on weekdays after classes, I think I could fit you in around…seven?" "Done", Jacob smiles at her as he grabs his school bag and slings it over his shoulder, " I'll see you tomorrow then? at seven?". "Yeah, at seven". " Bye dad, love you." "Love you too." With that Andy and Y/n fall into a comfortable silence as she sorts through the mail and separates the ones meant for her house. "Can i ask you something?" Andy breaks the silence. "You just did", y/n smirks at him. " Okay, smartass," Andy can't help but smile at her 12-year-old-boy-esquè-humor. "Can i ask you two things then, " Andy leans forward from opposite to her on the dining table, enjoying the back and forth between them. "Go ahead, jeez it's like a question paper come to life",y/n bites her lower lip in anticipation. Andy tries a more casual, less creepy approach, "How do you find the time to tutor after coming home from college? I mean you wouldn't have time for other things like for example, uhh a boyfriend." Y/n's cheeks turn red and she again diverts her attention from Andy, "I don't have one, Mr. Barber"
The admission makes Andy's stomach flutter with a sense of relief and something else…..a wave of pure and primal desire. She looks up at Andy with a flustered smile and lustful, hooded eyes, looking like the perfect mix of a nymph and a virgin, "is that what you wanted to know Andy? because let me tell you, you weren't being very subtle." she teases. "What if I did, sweets? What if I wanted to know if there was a limpy ,lacking frat boy who was doing nothing but disappointing you every time he touched you?" Andy's eyes go darker, the blue ring of his eyes being engulfed by his blown out pupils. "Well then Mr. Barber, let me tell you that i don't have any frat boys disappointing me at night," she leans in closer, so much that Andy can feel her warm breath on his lips, "what are you gonna do about it?" Almost.
This six letter word was the bane of Andy Barber's existence. She was so close, I could smell the faint smell of vanilla on her skin. She was so close, I could see the tiny freckles by her nose. She was so close, so, so close. Our lips almost touched Almost. Suddenly, the door opens and then shuts close and the sounds of progressing footsteps breaks them apart. "Hey, I just forgot my phone here." Jacob doesn't question the awkwardness in the room as he grabs his phone and leaves once again. In a frenzy, Y/n collects her mail and leaves for the door too, "I'm sorry if I overstepped Andy, I swear it won't happen again." Her voice small and choked, but I fucking hope it does happen again and again and again and again Amused by her nervousness, Andy tries to speak, but before he can get her attention, she has already left. Well she'd be here again at seven tomorrow, right?

Hey can you do female reader who pretend to be a boy? The reason why female reader pretend to be a boy it's because she hates getting a lot of attention from the boys. But when female reader pretend to be a boy, a lot of girls(including the nymph who loves Apollo) have a crush on female reader who pretend to be a boy
-You internally groaned, your hands over your face, dragging them down as you hid behind another bush.
-You just wanted to go out, see your friends Buddha and Zerofuku, and eat a bunch of sweets with them. However, going outside, even in disguise, was a hell in a handbasket!!
-To others, if they were to see you right now, would see only a beautiful young man, the type that women would throw themselves at; but in reality, you were a beautiful woman, who would constantly be bothered by men, wanting you for their own.
-You had believed if you had been disguised, dressing up like a man, would deter your male admirers, but now you had attracted the female gaze! This wasn’t what was supposed to happen!!
-Your phone buzzed, alerting you to a text message and you pulled it out, seeing it was Buddha, asking where you were, and you responded back with a word he would easily understand, ‘hiding’.
-It’s not like you asked to be this unnaturally beautiful, it was your ‘reward’ for saving several beauty goddesses years ago, and they blessed you to be beautiful to all.
-To you however, this was now a curse, you couldn’t do anything without getting hit on, not even going out to check your mail! You could be dressed in a baggy shirt and sweatpants and men would propose marriage to you! This isn’t what you signed up for.
-You heard approaching footsteps and you put your hands over your mouth, to stifle your breathing, thinking it was the swarm of nymphs that normally hung around Apollo that ran after you, wanting to ‘get to know you’.
-A hand plopped down on the top of your head and you looked up and instantly deflated, seeing Buddha grinning down at you, lollipop in his mouth as normal before Zerofuku popped up behind him, “We found you Y/N!”
-You clung to Buddha like a koala, who thought it was amusing, while Zerofuku clung to him piggy-back style as he walked towards the bakery you had planned on meeting at before you were chased down.
-The nymphs were quick to see you and they were all quickly blushing, their hands over their mouths as they saw you in Buddha’s arms, thinking that the two of you, thinking that you were a man, were in a relationship together, finding it alluring.
-Once at the bakery you cuddled Zerofuku who was beaming at the attention while Buddha was grinning at you, being the barrier between your admirers, male and female, and you, “You could just tell them that you’re dating me.”
-You sent him a small scowl, no anger before your glare, “I’ve tried that- they just offer to be my side piece.” Buddha snorted in laughter, thinking it was funny, as he and Zerofuku were the only two not affected by your beauty, they liked you for your kind and gentle heart.
-Besides, Buddha knew that you weren’t looking for a relationship, romantic or otherwise; but he would stand by your side and protect you if needed.

So I just realized that this particular day means we've recently passed the one-year anniversary of this blog, which is both exciting and odd! It doesn't feel like it's been so long, and at the same time it feels like I've been kicking around here for ages.
So anyways--at the risk of being overly sentimental, I just want to say that it's been incredible to be a part of this fandom in so many ways. There is a sort of butterfly/hurricane element to it all that I find genuinely lovely whenever I stop to think about it. At the beginning of this, I couldn't stop writing because I had so many ideas that my hands literally couldn't keep up with how fast I was thinking of things to say. Because I wrote, someone read my fic and liked it and told their friend, who became my friend, who encouraged me to dip my toes into the fandom, which led to this blog and more ideas and more delightful people I never would have found otherwise.
I am also glad that (since the frames finally came in the mail) I can now look up while I'm writing and see my gals c: It is still pretty wild to me that I made them up in my head and described them to someone else and now they exist physically (in a sense).
Credit, of course, to pinayelf, star--nymph, ndostairlyrium, and vakariansbabe (roughly right to left, top to bottom), all of whom are incredibly talented artists, and thank you all again for making my babies real!

Nia & The Mystery Woods
An original tale by gritsandbrits Based on the television program created by Britt Allcroft and David Mitton
Based on  The Railway Series by the Rev. W Awdry 
Original characters belong to me everything else to their respective owners (Mattel) 
Note: mix of the show & Shining Time/TATMR 
Since her arrival to Sodor, Nia the Orange Engine grew to love her new home. One landmark that fascinated her was Henry's Forest. While she thought a heavily wooded area was an odd choice to put a branch-line in, she couldn't deny she loved seeing such gorgeous greenery and sparkling springs up close. 
One afternoon, Nia was on her regular run (trying her best to bear with the stench of raw fish) when she arrived in the forest. A sign told all engines to reduce their speed. Nia didn't mind slowing down, it gave her the chance to embrace the serenity Mother Nature had to offer. 
"I wish I could stay here," she sighed. "If not for being an engine I could walk deeper into the woods and see more of it."
"Perhaps another time when we're free," her driver replied. 
Wistfully Nia continued on her slow journey when suddenly, she heard nearby bushes rustle loudly. Before she could process it something darted out in front of her. She jerked to a stop!
"What in the world was that?!" She yelped. 
"Must've been a deer," her frazzled driver said as they checked to make sure she was alright. 
"Whoo! At least nothing spilled out. The last thing we need is sturgeon juice all over the rails," the orange engine grumbled. Her eyes then noticed something was on the rails. Faint shimmer. 
Once there was no sign of any more deer, the little crew went on their merry way. But Nia couldn't help but feel uneasy. 
That night at Tidmouth she relayed the encounter to her shedmates. 
"It could've been a deer like your driver said," Rebecca mused. 
"What kind of deer shimmers?" Nia retorted.
"It could be a fairy!" Percy exclaimed. "One of the delivery girls at the mail station always talks about them!"  
"A fairy? Percy you know magic doesn't exist," huffed Gordon.
Everyone stared at Gordon with blank expressions on their faces. Then he remembered, "oh yeah that's right Lady," he muttered in embarrassment.
"We could ask her but she's all the way on the other side of the world," Thomas sighed sadly.
"You could ask Edward," Emily suggested. "He should know all about the weird things that go on in Sodor; he's been here longer than any of us!"
If she had a neck Nia could've shaken her head yes. "I will tomorrow." Deep down she was nervous about speaking with Edward. She never could muster up the courage to, she felt bad for replacing him. But if she was to get a concrete answer she would have to hide her fears. 
The next morning Nia spotted Edward lounging in the yard.
"Good morning Edward," she greeted quietly.  
"Nia! What a surprise," the blue engine exclaimed. "Uh, how have you been this morning?" 
"Fine. And you?"
"Well I'm just taking the day off. I ain't as active as I used to." 
A brief silence passed between them. Then Nia asked, "Um, Edward, do you know anything about fairies?"
"Fairies?" 
Nia explained her encounter to Edward. Afterwards he mused.
"If I'll be honest I think you saw a nymph.
"A nymph?"
"It's a different kind of fairy one that roams the forests and lives in trees," Edward continued. "They protect the forest, you know. I haven't seen it myself, but it is said they're the reasons why this island still has its natural habitats."
"I see."
"Perhaps we should test our hypothesis," said Edward. "I'll go with you to Henry's Forest and see it for myself."
"Oh! You don't have to, I don't want to take up too much of your time," Nia began.
"Nonsense, it'll do me some good to work out my wheels," assured Edward.
Later that day the two engines made their way to Henry's Forest. During the trip they didn't talk. Not out of rudeness but because both were too nervous to talk to each other.
When they arrived they stopped. "Alright," said Edward. "Show me where it happened."
Nia gestured with her eyes. "I think when I passed by those patches of blackberries when I saw them." 
The engines trudged along the shaded path. Listening out for their magical friend. After a while they had found nothing.
"Hm, maybe it was a deer after all," she said. "Still doesn't explain the shimmer."
"Perhaps some naughty children," said Edward. "People can be disrespectful to wildlife, unfortunately." 
Just as they were about to leave, Edward felt something soft whip past him. "What on earth?" He could make out some dust faintly shimmering in the sunlight. His nose started to itch…
"ACHOO!"
Steam whizzed from his underbelly as he let out a huge sneeze. His whistle squealed, jolting Nia to attention.
"Bless you!"
The blue engine sniffed. "Thank you, just some pollen."
"We ought to get back, it's getting late," said Edward's driver. When he reached inside his pocket he groaned. "Oi! My pocket-watch! It's gone!"
"Maybe you left it back at the station?" The fireman asked.
"No, I could've sworn I had it on me!"
Edward was confused. 
Nia's crew were preparing her too. When her fireman reached to fix her hat she felt nothing but her own hair. "Hey my hat is missing!"
The humans looked around for the article of clothing but found nothing.
"Maybe it's been blown off by the wind?" Asked her partner. 
"Darn! I really liked that hat!" The driver crossed her arms and pouted. 
The pair left, but as they did, a melodious laugh rang out from the trees. 
The next couple of days were tizzy for the NWR. Crewmen reported missing their hats and tools. More engines were sneezing. It wasn't enough to delay routes. But soon everyone was getting annoyed by the invisible pranks.
Every day Nia's curiosity grew. But so did her anxiety. After that brief time with Edward she didn't speak to him. Only hurrying off whenever he stopped by to visit Tidmoth. She felt bad for ditching but she didn't want to remind him of being his replacement either. 
A couple weeks later, Nia was running her goods (thankfully no fish this time) when she went through Henry's Forest again. This time she was determined to catch a glimpse of the nymph. 
"Alright you rascal where are you?" She looked around only to be greeted by trees and the large pool on the other side of the curve ahead of her. 
Feeling a bit bitter she huffed and went on. So maybe it wasn't a nymph? But that still didn't explain the random pranks. 
 Suddenly she heard a loud rustling. Once again something large darted in front of her! 
"Oh dear!" Nia screeched. 
"Shoot!" The driver applied the brakes as a great buck lept out in front of them! 
Nia squeezed her eyes shut expecting the impact. Suddenly felt her wheels lifting off the tracks. Then the unfamiliar tingle of grass. Finally careening to a stop...into the very sparkling springs she admired so much.
"Somebody...help me???" Was her gargled request.
Edward was sent to her aid. When he arrived with the breakdown train he gasped. 
"Enjoying some cool down time I see?" Edward jokes in hopes to lighten the mood. 
"Gleb! mhhee owa hee!" Nia sputtered drearfully.
"I take that as a yes."
It didn't take long for Nia to get put back on the rails. She sputtered out, "It was a real deer this time!"
"I guess this means we have to be extra careful," replied Edward. "By the way I'm curious. Why do you keep avoiding me?"
Nia's blushed. She didn't want to tell Edward she felt bad for replacing him in the shed. He seemed quite a good sport but she didn't want to instigate possible jealousy. 
"Well I-I've been busy," she replied quickly. 
Before Edward could say anything else, their drivers returned with some items in their hands. 
"I see what caused it, someone put a bunch of rocks and sticks on the line!" Exclaimed Edward's driver. 
"Whoever could have done that?" Edward wondered suspicious. 
"Maybe we should wait and find out," Nia murmured. Then she noticed a trail of sparkles streaking back behind the trees. She had a feeling there was more than just deer that lived in the forest.

✨ AOTD: I just received Girl Abroad by @ellekennedy33 today in the mail. When B&N was doing their 25% off preorders, I ended up preordering Girl Abroad and Empire of the Damned. I cashed in some of my B&N reward money from the sale back in December.
A few weeks ago, I also received a book called Medea by @eilishquin, along with another book from Simon & Schuster in the mail. I'll post about the other book later.
I'm genuinely interested in this book because I'm not familiar with her in Greek mythology. I'm hoping it will have a similar vibe to Circe and Clytemnestra. Once I start reading the book, I'll provide a review and update on my progress.
📚
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Among the women of Greek mythology, the witch Medea may be the most despised. Known for the brutal act of unaliving her own children to exact vengeance on her deceitful husband, the Argonauts leader Jason, Medea has carved out a singularly infamous niche in our histories.
But what if that isn’t the full story?
The daughter of a sea nymph and the granddaughter of a Titan, Medea is a paradox. She is at once rendered compelling by virtue of the divinity that flows through her bloodline and made powerless by the fact of her being a woman. As a child, she intuitively submerges herself in witchcraft and sorcery, but soon finds it may not be a match for the prophecies that hang over her entire family like a shroud.
As Medea comes into her own as a woman and a witch, she also faces the arrival of the hero Jason, preordained by the gods to be not only her husband, but also her lifeline to escape her isolated existence. Medea travels the treacherous seas with the Argonauts, battles demons she had never conceived of, and falls in love with the man who may ultimately be her downfall.

Bucky Bear's Mission || Elias & Cass
TIMING: Night of June 10th 
LOCATION: The Hanging Rock 
PARTIES: @eliaskahtri and @magmahearts
SUMMARY: After finally receiving the Bucky Bear in the mail, Elias heads to Cass's cave home to gift her the bear.
CONTENT WARNINGS: None
When Cass had sent him her address, this wasn’t what he expected. Sure, it was in the woods, but he figured she had some kind of cabin or something. What Elias realized quickly was how wrong he was. He took an impromptu hike through rocky terrain and found himself outside an honest-to-God cave. He stood there for a long moment, holding his package in his hands with a worried expression. Did she live here? Alone? For how long? All these questions flooded his mind as he took another step forward, looking around the entrance. “Hello?” He called out, taking another tentative step forward. He bit his lower lip, wondering if this was going to be some sort of elaborate trap. “Cass?” He called out after, steps faltering as he waited for an answer. “It’s me, Elias! I have the bear.” 
He wasn’t one to judge where someone lived. After all, he had been in a hotel for far too many weeks at that point. He gripped the package a bit tighter as he waited for something to happen, whether it be Cass jumping him or appearing out of the dark to accept the package happily, which he figured would be the more logical conclusion to jump to since online she seemed to be a very friendly individual. Still, what if it was a ploy? After all, luring someone to a cave would be a good plot for a horror movie.
When she decided to bind someone, more often than not, it was for things like this. Nothing harmful, the way nymphs in her aos si often had. Some of them had taken great delight in binding humans into terrible, unwinnable situations, and it had always made Cass a little anxious. She much preferred things like this. Small, harmless, and just enough to teach them a bit of a lesson… while still ensuring that she got something out of the whole exchange, too. Elias was a grown man who could probably afford to buy a teddy bear for a stranger. She’d warned him what thanking people could do, and she’d shown him proof of it. He should really be grateful.
Still, she felt a little anxious as she sat in the cave waiting for him to arrive. He’d seemed pretty mad when she’d first bound him, just like Metzli had when she’d used the thanks they’d given her to force them into friendship. Was it just as bad to bind someone into something small and innocuous as it was to force them into something big and terrible? It couldn’t be, right? Cass fiddled with a pebble on the stone floor thoughtfully, trying to understand. When Elias’s voice tore her from her thoughts, she was grateful for it. Too much thinking, she thought, got a little annoying after a while. 
Jumping to her feet, she hurried to the entrance of the cave. Elias hadn’t come inside, and she was grateful for that. It always made her a little anxious when there were people in her cave and she wasn’t with them; it brought out those nymph instincts that she often disliked. “Hi,” she greeted, exiting the cave with a bright grin. “You brought it? Let me see!” She held out her hands for the package expectantly. 
When Elias heard footsteps nearing him, he breathed a sigh of relief, especially when she appeared and greeted him, smiling. Oh good, she wasn’t going to kill him. “Here,” he spoke, placing the package into her hands. “Handcrafted by a woman on the internet named Leslie with love.” He gave a crooked smile, something in him still deeply disturbed and confused that he felt so compelled to do exactly what the girl had wanted. Even more so by the fact that she lived in a cave.
“You live here?” He asked innocently enough, looking around a bit. “Kinda cool, if I’m honest.” He then added, wanting her to know that he didn’t think any less of her for choosing to live where she did. “Honestly, very superhero of you.” He then decided, not knowing just how spot-on his comment truly was. He then changed the subject to the bear once more, watching as she opened the package to reveal the Bucky Bear. “Now we have matching bears,” he commented as she opened the package.
He then thought for a moment before speaking, frowning a bit. “And you know,” he began, rubbing the back of his neck. “If you had just asked, I would have gotten you one anyway.” He explained with a meek smile. “Because that’s what friends do for each other.” The smile turned soft, one of genuineness. He could see how much she had wanted a friend in the way she had spoken to him online, and while he felt bad for her in a way, he also knew what it felt like to want a friend desperately.
Cass took the package eagerly, wasting no time in opening it and retrieving the bear. She inspected it carefully, making sure it was what she’d been promised. When it was clear that Elias wasn’t pulling one over on her, she flashed him a grateful grin. “Leslie does good work,” she replied, tucking the bear carefully under her arm. It would be nice, she thought, to have more items to make the cave feel more ‘lived in,’ though she’d need to be careful to keep the bear somewhere off the stone floor to avoid it getting damaged. 
She glanced back to Elias as he questioned her, tensing for a moment. Sometimes, people got weird when she admitted to living in the cave. She wasn’t really sure why. It was one of those… funny human things, she guessed. Some weird social norm that said people weren’t supposed to live in caves. Kind of stupid. According to their own history books, their ancestors did it all the time. But Elias didn’t make a snide comment or a rude remark; instead, he called it cool. He said it was like a superhero. And he was right about that, even if he probably didn’t realize just how right. Cass relaxed, looking pleased. “It is like a superhero,” she agreed, smiling as he revealed he’d brought his bear along, too. “Maybe I could show you around a little.” It wasn’t something she’d usually offer, but she did feel a little bad about binding him.
Worse, even, when he insisted he would have gotten her the bear anyway and said that they were friends. Cass hesitated, looking at the bear instead of looking at him, stroking its artificial fur absently. “People lie about things like that,” she pointed out with a small shrug. “They do it all the time. They’ll say they’re your friend, but they don’t really mean it. Sometimes it’s better to make sure.”
Elias gave a satisfied nod as she accepted the package, happy that he could do something for her that made her smile. At the end of the day, that’s why he did a lot of what he did, to make others smile, even if just for a brief moment. “Glad you like it!” He chirped, flinching a little, realizing his voice was now echoing through the cave. Whoops. “Leslie makes a whole line of Marvel teddy bears. That’s my only one, but she makes some cool stuff.” He scratched the back of his neck, hoping desperately that she wouldn’t trick him into getting her the entire line of super bears. 
He nodded as she offered to show him around, curious to see what she’d done with the place. It worried him a bit that she lived in a cave. He thought of the threat of wildlife encroaching on her space or the elements. But if she seemed happy there, then he wouldn’t question it. This town was weird. After all, he had been warned ample times about that fact. “Show away,” he declared in a quieter voice, not wanting to hear his own voice echo through the place again. Once was enough to learn his lesson, thanks.
He furrowed his brows as Cass spoke about friends, realizing there was pain in those words. And he understood it. Through his life, he had only had one really solid friend, and sometimes, even that became fleeting. “Well, I’m not lying,” he promised with a thoughtful gaze, smiling down at her. “I think living in a cave is pretty badass, and you have good taste in teddy bears.” He nudged her playfully. “Besides, I could use some friends in this town. I’m still brand new.” He admitted with a shrug of his shoulders, stuffing his hands into his pant pockets.
A whole line of teddy bears? That familiar feeling of want, want, want rose up in her chest, and she had to stop herself from going in on him again, from trying to force him into another bind. He said they were friends, and that wasn’t something she should do to her friends. She knew that, even if every instinct insisted that it was her right. Cass loved humans, but she was still fae. There were parts of her that still knew that. “Do you have a link to her store? I’d love to check out her other stuff.” She could bind other people into getting it for her instead of making Elias do it. That was a good compromise, wasn’t it? 
Even if she’d been the one to offer, her heart still pounded as he accepted and asked to be shown around. So few people had seen her cave. At this point, it had really only been Jonas, who’d needed help uncovering the corpse of a ghost who was haunting the area, and Metzli, who Cass had shown to a few caverns. In both cases, they saw only what Cass wanted them to see. Elias’s tour would be no different. Fae couldn’t lie, but they could control how much they told people, how much they showed them. 
She shrugged as Elias continued, motioning for him to follow her as she moved through the cave. In here, Cass moved confidently, with no second guessing. In her head? Things were so much more tangled. “The cave is cool,” she agreed, electing not to comment on his claim that he wasn’t lying. No one who was lying admitted that they were lying. That was the whole problem. And even if he was telling the truth, he’d probably change his mind. Cass wasn’t the kind of person anyone cared for in the long term. “This is my favorite part.” She ducked through a crevice. It was easy for her to move through, though it would be a tight squeeze for Elias. It opened into a large area she’d claimed as the ‘bedroom.’ There was a sleeping mat on the floor — nothing substantial, really, closer to the kinds you’d find in a preschool classroom than anything designed with comfort in mind. A few rocks that jutted out from the wall enough to form ‘shelves,’ which held comic books and decorations and trinkets. Cass put the Bucky Bear there, underneath Metzli’s drawing that she’d taped carefully to the wall of the cave. “Pretty cool, huh?”
As Cass showed him around, Elias decided that if this was how she wanted to live, then who was he to be concerned for her safety? He squeezed past through the crevice, bent over so he didn’t hit his head on the top of the cave, looking at her various trinkets and comics. The bed made him feel a bit bad, but again, if she were happy, then he would say nothing that would potentially upset her. After all, he didn’t know her that well in the first place. “You’ve certainly made it your own,” he spoke to her, a soft smile on her lips as he looked closer at the comics. “Which one is your favorite?” He asked her, looking over his shoulder to look at her. “Personally, I’m a big fan of Captain America. Specifically, Bucky Cap, if that wasn’t already obvious.” He spoke, gesturing to the bear she now had in her possession. 
“What made you choose here?” Elias then wondered aloud, hoping that he wasn’t overstepping a boundary by asking. “Only if you’re comfortable with me asking. You don’t have to answer that if you don’t want to,” he quickly tacked on, waving his hands in front of him. He rubbed his arm, realizing this was the second time that he had found himself in a cave since coming to this town. First, the rotting cheese cave, now this. How many were there? He couldn’t help but wonder. Still slightly bent over, Elias took a step, allowing him to take in the ‘room’ fully. “Did you draw that?” He then asked, pointing to the drawing that was above the Bucky Bear. “It’s good,” he complimented. 
Elias was the first person to see this section of the cave who might actually understand it. Metzli didn’t know much about comics (yet — Cass intended to get them into them), but Elias? He was clearly a fan. She watched as he inspected her ‘shelf,’ smile widening when he commented that she’d made it her own. “It wasn’t very easy, but I like it.” The cave felt like a place she might belong, even if she hated the fact that she belonged alone. “I like Spider-Man a lot. And the X-Men. Which Bucky Cap comic do you like the most?” 
She considered his question for a moment, brow furrowed. “This cave, or this town?” She wasn’t sure she had a concrete answer for either. “I just felt kind of… Drawn here, I guess. The cave feels right.” Whether it was its proximity to the mineral abnormality that felt vaguely volcanic or the warmth that came from the cracks in the walls, this cave was the closest feeling she’d been able to find to a volcano in Maine. Looking up at the drawing on the wall, she shook her head. “My friend did,” she replied, the word tasting sweet on her tongue. “They own a gallery in town. They’re really good.” 
“If you like it, then that’s all that really matters, right?” Elias mused as he admired the work the girl had done. Sure, it was strange. But so were a lot of people in this town, he was coming to learn. “Definitely Man with No Face, comics number forty-three through forty-eight. It’s when he first becomes Captain America, and he’s grappling with the past things he’s done while taking up the new mantle. He fights crime in a very Bucky style.” He pauses for a moment, thinking on it. “Bucky wasn’t Captain America for very long, but I think his style of fighting that he carries from being The Winter Soldier, as well as a soldier in World War II, really makes a very interesting version of Cap. Complete with espionage!” He grinned, looking down at Cass. “I could talk endlessly about Bucky Barnes and how he deserves the world.” He confessed. 
He thought about the idea of being drawn to a place. “I was drawn to the town as a whole,” he spoke in agreement. “Maybe not to a specific area here, but there’s enough strangeness that I don’t feel so weird for liking it as much as I do.” He thought to all the teasing he would get growing up for being interested in cryptids and spooky legends. “I feel more surrounded by people who get it, you know?” He shrugged a shoulder, finding that it was hard to put into words why he had been drawn to Wicked’s Rest.
“Exactly!” Elias seemed to understand her stance here in a way few humans ever had. She wondered if he was human at all. This town seemed to have no shortage of people who weren’t. Not just fae, but other kinds, too. Undead, shifters, spellcasters… Wicked’s Rest seemed to be a centerpoint for them all. Whatever Elias might be, Cass decided she liked him. Especially when he had a very specific answer for his favorite comic run. Her eyes lit up as he recalled the storyline. “I like that,” she said with a grin. “I like to see new characters take over an existing mantle, to see what they do with it. Like the Robins, or Spider-Man. It’s always cool to see how different things look.” She nodded as he continued. “I like Bucky, too.” 
The way he spoke about being drawn to town had her wondering, again, if he was as human as he seemed. “I don’t think you should feel weird at all. About anything. I think you’re pretty cool.” Being surrounded by people who understood… wasn’t that all Cass had ever wanted, too? Wasn’t that what she’d been striving for all her life? Wicked’s Rest was starting to feel like the first place where she had any real hope of finding it. “There are a lot of really cool people in this town. I really like them.”
Elias couldn’t help but smile as he watched the younger girl get excited about her interests. It was something he always loved to see, that special side to everyone that wants nothing more than to gush about what they love most. There was a spark in people’s eyes that he noticed more often than not, even if that person was more reserved. That wasn’t the case with Cass. He could tell she loved with her whole heart. That much had been made apparent by how she spoke about comics or how she had cared for her things and hung up the picture her friend had made her with loving care. It was in her demeanor.
He felt touched as she told him not to feel weird, that he was cool. A far cry from the other younger folk of Wicked’s Rest, that was hellbent on bullying him. It was a nice change. “I appreciate you saying so.” He spoke in earnest, a soft smile playing across his features. “Well, I don’t want to keep up too much of your time,” Elias spoke, feeling as if he were intruding on her space. He looked to the way he had come in, then back to his new friend. “We should meet again sometime to talk about comic books more in-depth. I feel that you and I could seriously discuss it.” He spoke with a chuckle. The idea of shooting their favorite moments in comic books back and forth sounded like a good time to him.
He didn’t thank her, this time, and Cass felt an odd sense of pride instead of the usual faint disappointment she tended to default to when she missed out on a bind. She flashed him a grin that she hoped properly expressed the feeling, not wanting to verbally draw attention to it for fear of reminding him of the way she’d tricked him before. Hopefully, he’d remember not to thank anyone in this town. There were plenty of fae who were far less kind with their binds than Cass was, after all.
She found herself a little disappointed that it was time for the visit to end, but quickly perked up at the idea of meeting again in the future to discuss comic books in depth. “We should go to the comic store sometime,” she said earnestly. “Maybe we can give each other some, like, obscure comic recs!” She hesitated a moment offering him a hand. “It was really nice doing business with you, Elias. I hope to see you around.”

I know for the Scrapped Nymph who’s fans like to call Wendy Weather there’s been many ideas for her some have came up with headcanons that something tragic happened to her by the actions of Jano and I’ve even seen others come up with ideas that she defected to Mr. Dark and used her magic to help create Raymesis.
Since you mentioned all the other Nymphs could we hear your ideas for her if you have any?
I have heard of Wendy Weather, I've even reblogged content with the character.
In my stuff, Wendy Weather is like Helena where she just doesn't really focus on her nymph duties and prefers more mundane ways of life.
She is the local mail carrier. She makes sure all mail gets to their destination on time. She will abuse her powers to temporarily change the weather so that she can make safer deliveries.
She makes sure important documents that are mailed make it safely to the appropriate staff within the Fairy Council. No one else is allowed to touch these packages or letters. Only her.
She's got a bit of a soft spot for love letters and will make sure these also make it to the appropriate party. These clients include Betilla and the Magician, as well as Rayman and Raymona.
Murfy often gets a lot of love letters but they are all marked from a secret admirer. Murfy has no clue who this person is and Wendy refuses to spill the beans out of orders from the sender. It's one of the Glade's biggest mysteries and one often talked about over the water cooler at the council.

Cullen remembers the last time he watched Ellinor leave for the Frostback Basin. It’s been over two months since then. He’d checked her armor over himself, even though Harritt chastised him for even implying that his eyes were better than a blacksmith's, even though he knew he wouldn’t find anything wrong with the mail and greaves after they’d had a proper repair and polish done. He’d sharpened her knives for her—not because she couldn’t do it herself but because if he did it, he would know what condition they were in. He would be sure. He’d waited until she was off saddling Fleet to sneak into her knapsack, tucking away two lemon cakes he’d taken from the kitchen that morning, an extra scarf, should she lose hers, and a single note folded into quarters that read only be careful, my love and I’ll miss you.
It was two months ago. He’s spent weeks at her side since her return. But he remembers. Because it was supposed to be the last time.

I long to be a taxonomist
Personified version of events in a discover I just made: "Hello atty. We know that 'Mermaids' is a top-level category. We also know you LOVE taxonomy and sorting into TINY details that scale infinitely. So as your store grows, you can make 'Mermaid > Salt Water > Sea Nymph > Stickers > Mail"

NaPoWriMo #3
“You’re beautiful,” he says
Like he is mailing himself an invitation
Like a benediction for where he will put his hands
When I am a colleague
Not some femme fatale
I laugh once at a joke
Over shared interests
And this inspires him to drag a broad hand up my spine
-
“You’re beautiful,” she confesses
Like I am a secret I did not know she was keeping
Like I have tempted her and tricked her
When I am a roommate
Not a nymph
I wash my dishes and charge my phone
And live my life
And this almost makes her leave her wife
-
I spend days trying to figure out what is in me
That turns them all to fiction writers
Inventing whole worlds out of things I don’t remember doing
Building a me that isn’t mine
My mother says I’m cursed
That some people love to break the rules
And I look like someone who will bend
-
I try to find their lust and peel it out of me
I save my smiles for an empty room
My stance is a closed door
But they found me when I was happy and
When I stink of fear they find me still
“You’re beautiful,” a new one says
Like their eyes have eaten me
And their mouth is next
-
My mother says
                         I’m cursed
