Listen, I know Dream winning his duel with Lucifer with hope is like... A BIG DEAL and super symbolic and beautiful, HOWEVER I have something that may not be better, but would definitely be FUNNIER. 
Dream loses. He's been locked in a bubble and had his hopes dashed again and again, even though he's still fighting and still hopeful, it's harder for him to reach that and it doesn't come to mind in time for him to win against Lucifer. He's to stay as a servant in Hell and there's no Endless or divine being that can or will come to his aid. He's trapped. Again. 
Only Matthew isn't Jessamy, Matthew knows when the best way to help is a tactical retreat to gather reinforcements. So that's what he does, going immediately to Luciene like, "Hey, so, uh..." And there has to be some way they can help him! Luciene makes it clear that none of the dreaming denizens can. None of the Endless can, no deity would be of any help there against Lucifer. There are Old Laws dictating that Dream lost fair and square and no one can interfere with that. And Matthew's like, "Well what about someone who can challenge Lucifer to win him back? Someone not bound by the Old Laws?" 
"The only beings not bound by the Old Laws are humans. There's no human--" 
Except there is. There's one. One human that Dream would go off once a century to meet, and it's a long shot, but-- 
That's how Hob Gadling finds himself being approached by a talking raven asking him to trek into hell to rescue his boss. "You know, Dream of the Endless? Lord Morpheus?" 
Hob doesn't know who the hell the bird is talking about until Matthew describes him. "Oh, my Stranger!"
"...He seriously didn't even tell you his name?" 
Now, the idea of setting foot into Hell itself to do battle with Lucifer Morningstar is, y'know... Not something he wants to do. He confirms over and over if Matthew is SURE he doesn't have to die to achieve this, because he's not ready to leave yet, and Matthew is like, "Yeah, buddy, shouldn't be a problem." He's lying. He has no idea if it's a problem. (It's not.) 
Hob is like, "Yeah, but... I can't FIGHT Satan himself and expect to win, I AM still human." 
And Matthew's like, "You don't actually have to fight her, it's like a game! But uh... Pretty sure you still feel all the pain and stuff." And he explains the rules, and like, okay, feeling the painful death of whatever kills whatever you decide to be in your round SUCKS, but Hob's been through that before. It's actually a pretty intriguing game, one he thinks he might win. 
See, the way he sees it, it's a combination of the "times infinity" type of game (I love you, I love you more, I love you times two, I love you times a thousand, I love you times a million-- so on and so on) with that counting game where you either say one or two numbers, back and forth with someone, and whoever says 21 loses. Basically, there's one logical conclusion the game is going to reach. Someone is going to bust out the "times infinity" or in this case, "heat death of the universe" or some other completely life-ending thing. And like with the counting game, if you can get your opponent to say specific numbers on the way to 21, you can make sure they're forced to say it. 
There's a strategy if you think ahead enough, and he has an entire walk through Hell to plan it. 
(It SUCKS. He sees Robyn there. It breaks his heart. It's meant to, it's meant to keep him from reaching the palace, seeing his son in Hell, but they don't know Hob. They don't know the grief he's had to overcome in order for him to say, with absolute certainty, that he still wants to live even though it hurts. He reaches that citadel.)
Dream is, of course, horrified to see Hob there. Hob meanwhile is like a jilted exe all, "Yeah, yeah, we're not friends, you stood me up, but I'm still here for you because I'm the bigger person and I fucking care." 
He challenges Lucifer for Dream's helm and their safe passage out of Hell. Lucifer is... Intrigued. She just beat Dream of the Endless, and this human thinks he can beat her when humanity's collective unconsciousness couldn't? His immortality has made him cocky, clearly. So she accepts, and bargains that if Hob loses, he has to give up his immortality. 
There's a good minute where Hob pauses at that and has to really think about whether his arrogant, condescending not-friend is really worth that but yeah, yeah he is. Meanwhile Dream is off to the side. "Don't do this, Hob Gadling. It is not your responsibility to fix my missteps." Basically his version of pleading for Hob to leave and not risk this up until Lucifer is like enough out of you and shuts him up. 
They play. Lucifer starts out with the wolf again, because it's a good starting point to see what direction her opponent plans to take, to get a glimpse into Hob's mindset entering this game. Her plan is, of course, to cause pain enough that Hob will have a hard time thinking, but Hob makes that really fucking hard from the get-go and throws everyone in the room for a loop when his answer is...
"I am the over hunting of the local deer population. Ecosystem destabilizing, predator killing."
Well. Okay. Yeah, sure. Fucking fine. It's hard to kill that painfully. Lucifer manages to come up with, "I am hunting restrictions, nature preserving, ecosystem balancing." 
Hob, by that point, is like, I got this, actually. This might be fun. "I am the expansion of civilization. Forest destroying, hunting law nullifying." 
Matthew, who had been feeling pretty iffy about calling this guy in to help, is no longer questioning that choice. Dream is a little starry-eyed. 
Eventually Hob is the head of the Home Owner's Association. Lucifer is a bear, scrap hunting, person killing. Hob is family, revenge-seeking, bear euthanizing. Lucifer is Pride, argument starter, family destroying. Hob is friendship, blood covenant, thicker than womb water. Lucifer is jealousy, friendship rending, relationship ruining. Hob is personal growth, jealousy ending, apology giving. Lucifer is relapse, progress destroying, confidence killing. Hob is perseverance, step taking, progress rebuilding. On and on until finally Lucifer decides to end this the way she did with Dream and Hob leads her along until it reaches that natural conclusion, the death of all. 
Now there's some temptation there to go with the obvious, since he can't die even if the universe was destroyed. At least he doesn't think so. But he had already decided that it was an obvious choice to go for and he could think of a few clever ways Lucifer might get around that. So instead, Hob goes the far better choice and personal insult of being God, universe creator, life giver. He's very proud of himself when the demons erupt into boos and Lucifer looks about ready to rip his fucking throat out with her teeth. 
The way he sees it, there are two choices for her there, unless she really pulls something unexpected out of her ass. Option one is the whole "what's a god to an atheist" thing in which Hob would have then been a miracle, faith affirming, god-proving. Not much can destroy a miracle. 
But Lucifer, livid and prideful, goes with option two. "I am Lucifer Morningstar, God defying, His Kingdom ripped sunder!" 
And Hob has the absolute glee to grin and go, "I am Hob Gadling, clever, death defying, and triumphant over Lucifer Morningstar."
He and Dream are promptly kicked out of Hell on their asses, Dream's helm is thrown at his head with a force strong enough to break the sound barrier, and the gates are slammed shut behind them. The whole thing is so humiliating that Lucifer has to change their gender and moves to LA to open a nightclub.

How would someone like Miko, Ei, and other high ranking officers react to an S/O with a long list of titles like Settra the Imperishable, King of Kings,-
(Genshin Impact) Yae, Ei, Sara, Kokomi, Furina, Jean, and Xianyun's S/O with an absurdly long list of titles
I've been building and painting a lot of Bretonnians lately, so dear readers, you will now become aggressively French.
Tumblr media
By the Archons above, nothing was worse to Yae than having to be so serious during a ceremony,
Of all the things she could be doing, literally anything would be better than having to listen to some stuffy noble read their title.
So it was by chance S/O had to be present. She recognized their title was of Fontaine descent.
'The Red Hand of Brionne', 'The Red Duke', Something something Red.
...Wait, their titles were still being read off?!
(Yae) "My goodness, just how many titles with the color red can one have?"
Yae internally sighed as the list kept going. And going. And going.
All the while S/O stood perfectly still and respectful, not even batting an eye at the list of titles that probably would stretch from the top of the shrine all the way to the bottom.
Yae's head looks up to the sky momentarily, wondering how of all the people in the world she could have as a lover, it was the one who had to bore her to tears.
No doubt there were interesting stories of how the titles came to be, but this is not the way she wanted to find out.
And here Yae thought Ei had a lot of names to go by...
(Yae) "...Why is it still going?!"
Tumblr media
Ei doesn't react too much at the titles being read off for S/O's form of address at first.
She had to deal with similar situations of people reading off her own titles, so it was only proper etiquette.
"Water-Knight," "The Holder of Secrets", "Keeper of the Way"
(Ei) "...Hm."
It was only now she noticed that the list actually exceeded her own titles.
Which surprised her more than anything.
As far as she knew, S/O was just a mortal. How many feats did they achieve in Fontaine during their short life?
She made a note to ask later, but now the list was starting to become a bit absurd.
...Maybe she should implement a law where only the most notable of titles are read off, because they would actually be here for eternity if this continued.
Tumblr media
Sara gets jealous fast.
Not because S/O has more titles than her, she couldn't care less about that.
What really irked her, was they had the gall to own more titles than Her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho!
Sara masks her annoyance well as she keeps reading off the list.
Line after line, name after name.
...Okay, who the hell even gave her this list, this was way too many!
(Sara) Leader of battles...? What kind of title even is that?!
She made that comment in her head as she droned on with the names.
Tumblr media
With every single title read off, Kokomi's energy drained.
She loved her S/O dearly, but by the Archons, how the heck did they get that many titles while living in Fontaine?!
(Gorou) "Lionheart, The Lionhearted, High Paladin of the Breton Court-!"
As far as she was aware, there wasn't even any Knight Houses like this in Fontaine!
...Then again, this was Fontaine she was talking about. They did have their theatres.
Kokomi doesn't mention anything about their stupidly long list of names until after the formal ceremony.
She drops her head onto their shoulders, sighing loudly.
(Kokomi) "S/O...why did we need to have all your names read out...?"
Tumblr media
The AUDACITY S/O had!
To have more titles than HER, FURINA?!
This transgression would never be forgotten!
...But they were some pretty cool names, she did have to admit.
'The Golden Paladin',' 'Lord of the Lance', 'Roi Breton'
(Furina) "Hmph, and where exactly did you acquire such names, S/O? More importantly, how does it nearly rival my own?! Hmph! Perhaps I should read all of mine so that we are on equal footing!"
Honestly, some of those were starting to sound like stage names, which wasn't fair at all!
If they could do that, then so could she!
Needless to say, the ceremony the two were attending dragged on for way too long.
Tumblr media
By Barbatos, those were some extra titles.
'The Green Knight', 'Knight of the Glade', 'Heart of the Lion'
Though, she only had a few titles under her own belt, the sheer number S/O had was honestly staggering.
But it was also admirable.
It made her want to keep up, and wondered if she could ever live up to Vanessa, and apparently S/O.
Because at this point she was wandering in her mind, the list was still going, and probably outnumbered Vanessa herself.
(Jean) Well...I suppose we did say we were to refer to all forms of address...Maybe we should revise that.
Tumblr media
Xianyun was no stranger to titles.
She did indeed go by many, but S/O seemed to go by even more.
Which both impressed, and honestly annoyed Xianyun.
How did a mortal go by more names than Rex Lapis?!
'The Sacremor', 'The Soul-Killer', 'Duke of Couronne'-
(Xianyun) "One has to wonder why you must have all your names read aloud? We could be doing something much better right now..."
Granted, she did recognize a few of these titles, but that was no reason for dinner to get cold now!
Xinayun pouts, adjusting her glasses as she tries to get comfortable as the reading continued.
One found this situation inane...

Literally all of The Shadowhunter Chronicle romances are completely unhinged it’s not even funny (I lied, it’s very funny). Here’s just some examples:
William “Will” Herondale/James “Jem” Carstairs + Theresa “Tessa” Gray: It totally would have been a vee type polyamorous situation if it wasn’t for all the death and 1800s London society going on.
Henry Branwell + Charlotte Fairchild: How dare this misogynistic society put us together, I mean, we wanted to get together anyway, but not for those reasons. Welp, time to be as unconventional as possible.
Gabriel Lightwood + Cecily Herondale: Look, you made fun of my sister, it’s only fair that I marry your sister; that’s the rules.
Gideon Lightwood + Sophia “Sophie” Collins: Dad, I have a perfectly valid reason to betray you and go to the other side. What your doing is wrong and – nO tHiS haS nOThiNG to do wiTh tHeIR mAid wHy wOUlD yoU eVEn sAy tHat?
Jesse Blackthorn + Lucie Herondale: Your request to not be brought back to life has been denied, deal with it.
James “Jamie” Herondale + Cordelia Carstairs: He didn’t commit arson we were just having sex – why are you all looking at me like that’s worse?
Anna Lightwood + Ariadne Bridgestock: Listen, there’s a lot of society going on right now, so we’re going to have to get together in secret. Oh, you don’t want to? Okay, never mind, fuck society, let me win you back real quick.
Christopher Lightwood + Grace Cartwright: Oh good, you broke into my house, now we can talk about science.
Thomas Lightwood + Alastair Carstairs: I’d really like to hate you, but I think the biggest problem with that is that I love you. Once I get over that hurdle, I think we’ll be in the clear.
Lucian “Luke” Graymark + Jocelyn Fairchild: Good job on us for breaking away from the genocidal cult run by our best friend/husband; we should hook up, you know, as a reward.
Jonathan “Jace” Herondale + Clarissa “Clary” Fairchild: Ayo the same guy conducted experiments on our blood, that’s crazy; btw so glad we’re not actually siblings.
Alexander “Alec” Lightwood + Magnus Bane: Marrying each other is against the law? Okay, fine, I’m a law biding citizen. Oh oops, I made it legal. I am the law now, and I want a wedding on the beach.
Simon Lovelace + Isabelle Lightwood: It makes sense to have our engagement party on the day of my brother’s death, that’s when we really started bonding.
Helen “Alessa” Blackthorn + Aline Penhallow: Well, I guess we’re going to go in exile together. Yes, I said together; your exile is my exile, what’s mine is yours and what’s yours is mine, that’s how relationships work.
Julian Blackthorn + Emma Carstairs: Yes, it’s a technical war crime to love each other, but the law itself is not really our main concern about it.
Kieran Hunter + Mark “Miach” Blackthorn + Cristina Rosales: We’re really living that cottage core aesthetic, and all we had to do to get here was do a small war and some amnesia. Worth it.
Gwyn ap Nudd + Diana Wrayburn: I’m going to stand by just in case something happens, but it probably won’t, she knows what she’s doing – WHY IS SHE JUMPING OUT THE TENTH STORY WINDOW OH MY GOD WAIT
Tiberius “Ty” Blackthorn + Christopher “Kit” Herondale: We take cosplaying Sherlock and Watson VERY seriously, so of course we needed to go to all the most illegal places, it’s only natural.
Ash Morgenstern + Drusilla “Dru” Blackthorn: So anyway I saw them in a sort of fever dream like state this one time and they’ve still been on my mind for years.

Sex orgy with sister in law
Tumblr media
This story of sister-in-law and brother-in-law is from those days when all the people of the house had gone to a relative's place for a wedding.
I had some important work so I could not go.
Sister-in-law was also not feeling well, so she also stayed at home.
I was very happy that sister-in-law had stayed at home.
I liked her very much and I always used to masturbate in my room after looking at her photos.
Sometimes he would secretly masturbate in her bra and panty or smell the fragrance of her pussy coming from the panty.
I enjoyed doing this a lot.
That day, sister-in-law and I were feeling bored at home so we sat down to talk among ourselves.
It was quite time, the night was beginning to deepen.
After talking for a long time, our conversation reached GF BF.
I refused saying that I don't have a gf right now.
On this, sister-in-law started teasing me.
When I asked her about her BF, at first she refused.
Then when I asked more, she told that she had a BF who loved her very much.
I gathered courage and tried to ask sister-in-law what happened with her lover.
But then the talk about sex came out of my mouth.
Seeing me asking such a thing, sister-in-law started laughing and she also started becoming cool.
Now sister-in-law also started talking a little openly.
She started saying – We both did not have sex, but we definitely used to cuddle.
I said - Bhabhi, if anyone gets a GF like you, why would anyone leave without eating cream?
Sister-in-law started laughing at my question and said – Okay… Am I so beautiful that anyone would love me even for sex?
I said- Sister-in-law, you are beautiful beyond measure.
Asha Bhabhi was not listening to what I said.
Then suddenly it started raining and within no time the weather became stormy.
At the same time the electricity also went out.
The room had become dark.
I switched on the torch from my phone.
To prevent water from coming in, I closed all the windows and doors.
When I came back, sister-in-law was lying on the bed.
I said- Are you feeling sleepy?
Sister-in-law started saying – No, I just lay down like this. You too lie down!
I said- I am going to my room.
Sister-in-law stopped me and refused to enter the room.
She said- No, don't go anywhere, I am scared in the dark. You wait here until the lights come on.
There was nothing wrong with what she said, so I also agreed with sister-in-law.
She lay down on the bed and slept and I started reading a sex story on the mobile.
An hour had passed and by that time it was very dark.
Sister-in-law was also fast asleep.
When I turned the torch towards him, I was stunned.
Sister-in-law's Aanchal had slipped down, because of that her fair breasts were clearly visible rising and falling.
I started looking carefully.
Seeing her breasts, I started imagining that I had her breasts in both my hands.
My eyes were fixed on her breasts only.
Both milks were looking desperate to come out of the blouse.
I gathered courage and came closer to him.
Then with heavy breathing I extended my hand and placed it on one of her breasts.
There was no resistance from her side so I started moving my hands on her breasts.
After a few moments, I placed my lips on her lips while pressing lightly and started kissing her.
Understanding that sister-in-law might be in deep sleep, I continued moving ahead.
I started sucking her soft lips a little faster.
Then sister-in-law's heavy breathing started telling me that she too was ready.
They are also starting to enjoy it.
Seeing this my courage increased even more.
I put my tongue in her mouth and started kissing like Emraan Hashmi.
Sister-in-law also started making sensual moans and she started kissing with full passion.
She was supporting me fully.
While kissing her passionately, I started opening the hooks of her blouse with one hand.
Asha Bhabhi's breasts were so soft that I felt excited to press them with pleasure.
I didn't even realize when my hand reached her pussy.
The warmth of sister-in-law's pussy made me crazy.
I couldn't control myself anymore, so I inserted a finger inside her from the side of her panty.
As soon as the finger entered the pussy, the sound of 'ahhh' came out of the sister-in-law's mouth.
The hot air of his breath passing through my ears was making me more uncontrollable.
Then who knows who was so excited that in one stroke I freed sister-in-law's breasts from the captivity of the blouse.
I pounced on Bhabhi like a hungry wolf and started sucking vigorously.
Now Asha Bhabhi also started bringing me a fuckable material.
Till now she seemed to me to be my elder sister-in-law but now she was just beginning to seem like a whore to me.
It seemed as if my brother-in-law and sister-in-law relationship with him was breaking.
Now she appeared before me only as Asha Rani of my dreams.
The way Asha Bhabhi also started making erotic moans and sounds, it seemed as if she was really getting pleasure and enjoyment today after a long time.
As I moved downwards, sucking one of her breasts with my mouth, Asha Bhabhi's body started trembling.
I kept moving my tongue in her navel and she kept writhing.
Till now Asha Bhabhi was only moaning but now she had also started writhing in pain.
At last the voice came out of her mouth and she started saying - My love, I can't bear it anymore, cool down the fire quickly. Before the light comes on and I get shy seeing my brother-in-law Prashant loving me like this, please. fuck me
I had never heard such a thing from Asha Bhabhi's mouth.
I also started becoming uncontrollable.
Without wasting any time, I removed Bhabhi's saree and petticoat.
What havoc her black colored panties were creating on her fair buttocks.
I took my mouth towards her pussy.
What was the smell, friends, I can't tell you.
Even branded perfumes pale in comparison to that intoxicating fragrance.
I pulled down sister-in-law's panties and in the very first moment I inserted my tongue into her pussy.
As soon as the tongue entered her pussy, Asha Bhabhi suddenly jumped and screamed loudly 'Ah Prashant ah die aayi main...'.
I also went crazy.
I liked the salty taste of her pussy so much that I put it in my mouth and started drinking the juice coming out of it.
Her wet pussy also kept filling my mouth with its delicious water and I kept drinking it.
Sister-in-law kept moaning ‘ah ah…’ and she kept feeding me the nectar of her ejaculating pussy.
Within a few moments, I had made sister-in-law's pussy completely clean by licking it.
She was lying down with her legs spread and I was still licking her pussy.
I tasted the pussy for about twenty minutes.
Perhaps sister-in-law was getting excited to ejaculate again because she raised her ass and started thrusting her pussy on my mouth.
Her intoxicating sounds 'Ah Prashant, suck it harder, ah I went again…' saying all this, a lot of water came out of her pussy and went straight into my mouth.
I cleaned her pussy by sucking it and now turned Bhabhi upside down.
I came towards Asha Bhabhi's ass hole, pressed her buttocks, put my tongue in her ass hole and started licking the entire tongue till inside her ass.
After a few moments, Asha Bhabhi straightened up and pulled me towards herself and placed her lips on mine and started kissing me.
In the meantime, she made me lie down under her and she herself came up.
She started kissing me in the same way I was doing.
With the help of her legs, she removed my lower and in no time made me completely naked and started rubbing my penis between my legs with her mouth.
I had never imagined that Asha Bhabhi would be such a hottie in bed.
On top of that, the sister-in-law who looks so cultured will also start sucking my penis.
The same thing happened… suddenly Asha Bhabhi took my entire penis inside her mouth in one stroke and started sucking it.
When my penis entered her mouth, I thought I was dancing in heaven.
My penis started burning due to the heat of her mouth. My muscles started stiffening.
It seemed as if all my courage was waning and I was falling into a deep well.
After some time I felt that water would come out of my penis.
At that very moment I felt a surge of strength and pulled Asha Bhabhi upwards. I took her lips in mine and started kissing her.
He started moving his tongue all over his face, ears and nose.
I was really starting to enjoy it a lot.
My hands went on her breasts. Her breasts had already turned completely red after being crushed by my hands.
I started sucking them harder.
Asha Bhabhi's voice 'Ah Mar Gayi...' and my voice 'Oh Asha Meri Jaan...' were echoing in the room.
After a while, I made a sex position and placed a pillow under Bhabhi's ass and aimed my penis at her pussy.
Before she could regain her composure, I inserted my entire penis inside her at once, tearing her pussy.
A loud scream came out of Asha Bhabhi's mouth.
I didn't see or hear anything, just started pumping and started pushing harder.
Sister-in-law was shouting - Ah, am I running away somewhere… ah, please slowly Prashant… I am in a lot of pain… ah, leave me… take out your pestle quickly ah.
But I didn't listen to him, I just kept pushing harder.
Asha Bhabhi felt pain for some time.
After that they also started enjoying.
Now Asha Bhabhi also started pushing from below and I from above.
The sound of bumps and jerks started echoing in the entire room.
Sister-in-law was saying – Ahh more loudly Prashant… Ahh more loudly Hmm… I am enjoying.
After giving jerks for a long time, I ejaculated into Asha Bhabhi's pussy while saying 'I love you Asha...' in a panting voice.
We both remained lying like that for some time.
Both of us were quite tired from fucking sister-in-law and brother-in-law.
The rain had also stopped.
Even then the lights had not come on yet.
We both fell asleep naked, wrapped in each other's arms.
When I opened my eyes in the morning, I was feeling shy looking at Asha Bhabhi and Asha Bhabhi was feeling shy looking at me.
Both of us were not even able to make eye contact.
Then after a few days both of us became normal.
When sister-in-law caressed my hair and kissed me on my forehead and said I love you Prashant, my shyness was also gone.
Now both of us feel free to have sex whenever we get time and opportunity.

Tumblr media
☆ characters: stoner!ttrafalgar law
☆ up next: first date with the one piece boys
☆ summary: law notices that you've been stressed out lately and offers a solution... of sorts. pure smut!
☆ 18+, mdni
Tumblr media
stoner!law who smokes at least four times a week, whenever he’s particularly stressed- having a meticulously organized routine and rolls the most perfect blunts
stoner!law who notices that you’ve been particularly stressed lately and as cute as he thinks you are when you’re upset, decides to offer you a solution
stoner!law who knocks on your bedroom door in the early hours of the morning, dick twitching in his sweats when you open the door, sleep still hanging over your features and ask him if everything is okay
stoner!law who asks you if you wanted to come smoke with him, he can tell how stressed you’ve been and thinks this will help you relax, and who would know better than a doctor?
stoner!law who leads you into his room and quietly closes the door behind him, not missing how nervous you are- your crush on him so incredibly obvious that he can’t help but sit a bit too close to you, your thighs touching 
stoner!law who walks you through your first smoke, gently guiding you through inhaling and holding the smoke, rubbing your back lightly when you cough, grabbing you water and snacks
stoner!law who is more than happy that his routine has been adjusted for one extra person, now joined by you several times a week. you don’t smoke most of the time, but you’ve both grown to enjoy each others company
...
“Sure you don’t want a hit?”
You grabbed the blunt from Law’s extended hand and brought it to your lips, sucking in until you felt the comforting burn in your throat, before slowly exhaling. 
You felt Law’s gaze on you, attentively watching how you savored the smoke. A light blush dusted your cheeks and you hoped it would be blamed on the weed. 
“Just the one,” you said, handing the blunt back to Law. 
You both sat on his bed, his room unusually messy. Paperwork littered his desk and he had a pile of clothes that needed washing forming a small mountain in the corner. 
There was something comforting about his room- it was so lived in. You were still relatively new to the crew and your room still didn’t quite feel like home. It lacked the comfort and weariness of a lived-in room. You could feel the stark novelty of it. Law’s room was better, warmer. His messy bed was impossibly comfortable and it didn’t help that everything smelled like him. You sighed and laid your head on his shoulder. 
“Tired?” he asked, taking another hit from the blunt. 
Your eyes felt heavy, you were already lightheaded and giggly from the single hit, though in all fairness, the room was completely full of smoke. 
You nodded, leaning more of your body weight against him. 
The extent of your relationship had long exceeded the professional boundaries of captain and shipmate, but you couldn’t help but want more. 
You sat up and turned to look at him. He was fairly high. 
His eyes were half-lidded, and his lips slightly parted. His cheeks were pink and hair messy. 
“What? Want another hit?”
You shook your head, and giggled, “No, I feel it already.”
Law laughed, “Oh yeah? Let me see your eyes, c’mere.”
Your stomach twisted at this request, but you obeyed, scooting closer toward him. 
He grabbed your face with one hand, smooshing your cheeks together. He leaned his face closer to yours, the tips of your noses were brushing. 
You felt your face heat up and tried to look away from him but he was too close. 
So cute, Law thought to himself. 
“Look at me, let me see,” he ordered. You listened and couldn't help but giggle. 
His grip on your face loosened and he smiled, “That much of a lightweight, huh?”
He kept his face close to yours.
You could hear your heartbeat drumming in your ears and maybe it was the weed, or the dim yellow lighting, or the quietly playing jazz record he’d put on, or maybe even the fact that he was so unbearably handsome but you leaned forward and kissed him. 
He pushed back against you with an unexpected desperation, wrapping his strong arms around your waist and pulling you onto his lap, your thighs falling to either side of his hips. 
It was as if he was saying, Finally!
You slipped your tongue past his lips and into his mouth, tasting the tangy sweetness that lingered from the weed. His hands trailed up your back, pulling you into him and you moaned into the kiss. Law laid back on the bed, pulling you with him.  
You kissed and kissed and kissed, sloppy, wet pants and moans and breaths filling the room. 
Law was struggling to restrain himself, his dick was achingly hard in his sweats and he was desperate for more. 
And almost as if on cue, you pulled away from the kiss and started trailing warm, wet kisses down his neck. Your fingers traced the hem of his shirt and Law readily reached down to pull it off. 
Before you could resume your trail of kisses down his chest, he pressed a hand against you and sat up. 
“Let me take your shirt off,” he asked. You nodded, helping him get the oversized t-shirt you wore to past your head. 
Oh, fuck me. 
Law sharply inhaled as your breasts jiggled out of your shirt, eagerly bringing a warm hand up to palm them. 
“No bra?” he asked, bringing his mouth to your left nipple, “For me?” 
You moaned at the feeling of his tongue connecting to your sensitive bud, trailing a hand through his hair and softly pulling. 
You were both in a state of sensory euphoria, the combination of physical sensations was so overwhelmingly delicious that all you could do was moan and savor it. 
Law sucked dark blotches of deep reds and purples into your boobs and finally sat back to appreciate his work. 
You leaned forward to start kissing him again, and ran a finger against the waistline of his sweats. 
You pulled away from the kiss and looked up at him, batting your doe eyes at him.
“Can I?”
Law swore he was about to cum on the spot, “Please.” 
You situated yourself between his legs, and slowly pulled down his pants and boxers, his cock springing out and landing against his stomach.
He couldn’t help the feeling of pride and satisfaction that swelled in his chest when you let out a small gasp as you gingerly wrapped your hands around his length. 
His dick was so pretty, long and wide, with a dark pink tip. You softly licked the dribble of precum that leaked from his head, earning a series of soft grunts from your captain. 
His swollen head pushed against the back of your throat as you took more of him into your soft mouth, tongue licking and sucking as you took him entirely. 
Spit dripped down his length, and you felt the warm liquid touch your hands as you gently palmed his balls. 
You moaned softly against his cock as he tangled a hand into your hair and started to guide you up and down his length.
Tears brimmed your red, half-lidded eyes and you placed your free hand at the base of his length, applying throbbing pressure as you moved up and down. 
Law hissed and pulled you off of him with a groan, “Hold on, hold on- I’ll cum if you don’t stop.”
You smiled and pressed a quick kiss to his tip, wiping the drool from your mouth. 
“What should I do then, Captain?”
Law’s dick throbbed at the nickname, you were going to be the death of him.
“C’mere,” he beckoned you toward him and placed his hands on your hips as he guided you over him. 
In the back of his mind he thought to grab a condom, but he was too high and too desperate to feel you, so he ignored it. 
“You feeling ok?”
“Yes, Captain. Please fuck me.”
God, he needed you badly. He looked up at you, your features were perfectly lit by the dim lighting of his room, your lips plump and needy for him, your eyes watery and hazy- you were the embodiment of perfection. 
He squeezed your hips and stomach, indulging in the softness of your curves and shape. 
You gently reached back, to line his dick up with your entrance, and Law suddenly wished he had eaten you out or touched you before. He’d have to make it up to you later.
You slowly drag his cock up and down your warm slit and his entrancement with your beauty is temporarily suspended as his breath catches in his throat.
You were so wet. 
Teasing him, you lowered yourself onto him, stopping midway. 
“A-ah, Y/n, please, please,” he whined, surprising you with how loud he was being.
You laughed, ‘Shh! Shh! You’re gonna get us caught!”
You took pity on him and kissed him, slipping your tongue into his mouth to suppress his moans. 
“Mmmhh,” he let out a slow groan as you sank your wet warmth down onto him completely, guiding you with a firm hold on your hips. His brows furrowed and his nose scrunched as he desperately tried to maintain some of his composure but his sensitivity was already heightened from the weed and you just felt so, so good. 
You leant forward, letting your back fall into a natural arch and placed your palms to rest against his warm chest, slowly starting to move your hips up and down. Law focused his vision on the sight of his dick starting to slowly pump in and out of you, but the tight drag of your pussy up and down on him elicited such a deliciously sensuous moan from you that he was forced to look away and look up at you. 
Your plump, red lips were formed into a perfect ‘Oh’ as you closed your eyes to fully savor his length, grinding your hips against his and starting to bounce as he bottomed out in you. 
Law was seeing stars, and doing everything in his limited power to stay quiet. 
You repositioned yourself, so that you were squatting over him and started to ride him. 
You giggled as he let out another loud moan and picked up the pace, slick, wet sounds serving to slightly mask the pants coming out of your captain. 
“Feel good?” you asked, running a hand through his hair as you picked up the pace. 
“Y-yes, Y/n, you feel s-so good,” he whined. 
His hands found their way back to your waist and his grip was impossibly tight. Without warning, he slammed you down onto his hips and started to to fuck up into you. 
You laid against his chest and wrapped your arms around his neck, filling his ear with the sweet, sinful sounds of your adorable moans. 
Sweat was dripping from you onto him, his room was warm and the two of you were generating plenty of extra heat. 
His dick was rubbing up against that gummy spot of concentrated pleasure and you were struggling to fight back the pleas that spilled from your throat. 
Law had stopped caring about the noise a while ago and was purely focused on filling you up. 
“L-law,” you breathed, “I’m close.”
His thrusts slowed and you sat up slightly to look at him. 
“Kiss me,” he asked.
As soon as your lips connected he picked his pace back up, and you were sure you’d woken up at least half the ship by now. But he just felt so divinely good that you sunk your nails into his back and let him continue.
“A-ah! Ah! Law! Gonna cum, gonna cum!”
The hot coil in your lower stomach finally snapped and you dug your nails even further into your captain’s back muscles, earning another moan from him.
His pace didn’t falter and you bit back cries as he continued to pound into you, close to reaching his own high. 
You leaned forward and gently licked his ear, “Please cum for me, Captain.”
And, on command, Law came. 
He pushed you down onto his length, sinking himself fully into you, pumping you full of him. He felt lightheaded and when he was done filling you up he fell back down against the bed. 
You kissed him once more on the lips before breaking out into a fit of giggles and pressing quick, soft kisses all over his face and neck. 
He softly trailed a hand up and down your back. 
“So pretty, y’know that?”
You slowly pulled out, making a complete sticky, white, warm mess on his sheets. 
“That pretty, hm?”
Law blushed, he wasn’t sure he’d ever cum that much in his life. 
You gave him one more kiss before lying down next to him, resting your head on his chest. 
“Let’s shower, hm?”
You groaned- a sound of disapproval. 
“Too tired.” 
He sighed. 
Your bliss was interrupted by an aggressive knock on the door followed by Shachi’s voice and Penguin’s laughter, much to the captain’s embarrassment. 
“Oi!! Shut the hell up- We’re trying to sleep!” 
Sorry, Shachi.
“Atta boy, Law!!”
Thanks, Penguin.
Law winced, breakfast was going to be fairly awkward. He looked down to see your reaction, but you were already asleep on his chest, your breathing calm and relaxed. He pressed a kiss to the top of your head and pulled a blanket up over you.
Oh well, he thought, Worth it.

as an Irish (we don’t call it “Gaelic”, ever) speaker and a Sunny fan, I thought it would be fun to do a bit of a post about the Irish-language scene in The Gang’s Still in Ireland, because it’s not a scene I see widely discussed but I adore it.
some background. I am not a native Gaeilgeoir (Irish speaker) — my first language is English — but I started learning it age five and have always had very high grades in it and a huge love for it. I was hugely excited about Charlie Kelly being able to read Irish in the previous episode, and even more so when he turned out to be able to speak it.
Colm Meaney, the actor who plays Shelley Kelly, grew up in Ireland and as such would have learned Irish throughout his time in school. (this has been required by law more or less since Irish independence, and it was already quite common before that. nowadays, you can get exemptions for things like dyslexia but otherwise you have to do it.) this is clear in his ease with the language. (I will do a post about where in Ireland Shelley lives at some point, because there aren’t many areas where Irish is the principal language, but that is for another day!) both the actor and the character have easy and good Irish.
Charlie Day, as an Italian-American, obviously does not actually speak the language and presumably learned the lines as a bunch of gibberish sounds. (nonetheless, some of his pronunciations do suggest he had the words written down non-phonetically too.) his delivery of the lines is god damn amazing. Charlie Kelly’s Irish is not remotely American-accented. if I heard someone speaking Irish like that, I’d assume they sounded Irish when speaking English. he doesn’t even sound neutral in Irish; he does actively have an accent (the word choices are more non-regional, not pointing to any of the three distinct dialects, but this makes sense as the same is true of Shelley’s Irish). his pronunciation is so on point and his accent is seriously just a delight to listen to. that’s serious effort to have been put in by an American in a show that routinely makes fun of Irish-Americans! I cannot stress enough how cool it is to see my national language like this and how good a job he does.
as a side note, Charlie Kelly finding Irish much easier to read than English makes total sense! he clearly has dyslexia, as well as intellectual disabilities and autism, so literacy being tricky is totally fair, but is probably being made worse in English by how much of a god damn ridiculous illogical irregular mess the language is. English has around two hundred irregular verbs, and that’s before we even begin to consider the irregularity of its spelling. Irish has eleven irregular verbs, multiple of which are only irregular in one tense. its spelling is entirely consistent and, once the rules are known, any word (pretty much) can be flawlessly pronounced from reading it or flawlessly spelled from hearing it. (I promise Irish names make sense. just not if you try to use English rules on them. the languages are very different!) Irish is one of the most regular languages out there.
so, I thought I’d go through the actual scene. I’m going to put each line, the direct translation, the subtitle provided, and a comment. hopefully this will be interesting to someone other than me!
·—·
“is mise do pheannchara, a Charlie.” (Shelley)
direct translation: “I’m your pen pal, Charlie.”
subtitle provided: “I’m your pen pal, Charlie.”
okay, so they translate “pen pal” two different ways in this scene. the first, used here, is “peannchara”. this is a compound word, much like all those long words you get in German. it’s a perfectly good choice given there is no one standard choice for translating that concept.
“tá brón orm, ach ní thuigim cad atá ráite agat. is féidir liom gibberish a léamh, ach ní féidir liom í a labhairt.” (Charlie)
direct translation: “I’m sorry, but I don’t understand what you’ve said. I’m able to read gibberish, but I’m not able to speak it.”
subtitle provided: “I’m sorry. I don’t understand what you just said. I read gibberish, but I don’t speak it.”
I would slightly disagree with the subtitles here. the “just” bit isn’t expressed at all. in fact, there is no Irish equivalent to that word, and we often just use the English one in the middle of an Irish sentence because of this. however, I expect that RCG (Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton) wrote the subtitles and then handed them to an Irish translator, in which case the translator did a perfectly good job. a couple of notes about the use of “gibberish” here. I love it. firstly, we totally do drop English words into sentences like that. secondly, I really like the choice to use the feminine form of “it” here (that is, to make “gibberish” a feminine noun). all languages except English are feminine nouns in Irish as a rule, so it’s just a lovely detail calling back to the fact that Charlie thinks of it as the gibberish language. also, Charlie Day really does absolutely nail that voiceless velar fricative (the consonant sound in “ach”, as in Scottish “loch” or any number of German words), a sound even many natively English-speaking Irish people are lazy about. good on him.
“níl aon ciall le sin. sé á labhairt anois!” (Shelley)
direct translation: “there’s no sense to that. it’s being spoken now!”
subtitle provided: “that doesn’t make any sense. you’re speaking it now!”
I adore the phrasing of the first sentence here. thoroughly authentic. there are much more obvious ways to phrase it, but this is absolutely what a native speaker might go with. same goes for the second, actually. Colm Meaney says the second line in a sort of shortened way (same idea as how we might turn “do not” into “don’t”) so I’ve struggled slightly with how to directly translate it. interestingly, Shelley categorises “gibberish” as a masculine noun here, but this isn’t really wrong since it doesn’t have an official grammatical gender due to not being an actual Irish word. just a little odd. also, to fit better to the subtitle of the second sentence, I personally would’ve gone with “tá sé á labhairt agat anois” rather than “tá sé á labhairt anois” (the full version of what Shelley says), as this includes the information of by whom it is being spoken.
“’s é mo dheartháir mo chara pinn.” (Charlie)
direct translation: “it’s my brother that’s my pen pal.”
subtitle provided: “but my pen pal is my brother.”
firstly, to be clear, the nuance of the sentence structure here is not captured in either of the above translations because there simply is not an English equivalent to it. secondly, Charlie uses a contraction here by shortening “is é mo dheartháir mo chara pinn”. super cool. also, there’s that other translation of “pen pal”! this one is “cara pinn”, which uses the Irish genitive case (the word mutates instead of using an equivalent of the English word “of”; this case also exists in other languages including Swedish, German, Latin, and Greek). I like this translation very much too. both work! Charlie Day again delivers this line really nicely, even stressing the word for “brother” (and pronouncing its initial consonant mutation absolutely gorgeously)! I am truly very impressed.
“níl aon fhírinne le sin, a mhic. ’s é do chara pinn… d’athair.” (Shelley)
direct translation: “there’s no truth to that, son. it’s your pen pal who is… your father.”
subtitle given: “no son. your pen pal is your… father.”
so, I really disagree with the first sentence of the subtitles here. it works, but also misses a lot of the beautiful nuance that could have been got. I would have gone with “that’s not true, son” or, more likely, “that’s not right, son”. I also disagree with the placement of the ellipsis in the second sentence, as you see (and my frustrations in translating this sentence structure to English continue, as well). however I like the use of “a mhic” (“son”) here, very much. this is a mutated form of “mac”, meaning “son” (yes, as in all of those Irish surnames; they all just basically say who the person is the son of). it carries both meanings that exist in English: an actual son, but also the use of the word as an affectionate way to refer to any man younger than the (usually male) speaker. this is a really nice choice.
·—·
so, yeah! those are my thoughts. feel free to ask any questions you like. I love this scene so much. as well as the reasons above about how good the translation and delivery is, I also love two other main things about this.
firstly, the level of dignity given to the language. Sunny makes fun of Irish-Americans all the time, but doesn’t really do the same to Irish people from Ireland, which I like (I do also wanna talk about Mac and Charlie as members of the Irish diaspora because it is so so interesting, but that is for another day). Irish as a language is not often given dignity, especially in American or English media, so I really love that it isn’t the butt of the joke here.
secondly, that such a significant scene is delivered through this language. just wonderful. after fourteen and a half series, we finally discover the biological father, and the scene cannot be separated from this beautiful language. it just is so perfect.
RCG, and of course Charlie Day in particular, we Gaeilgeoirí (Irish speakers) thank you! our little language made it to the screens of so many people around the world.
I hope this was interesting haha.

edits: fixed some things I mistyped.

Daddy Cupid: The Fake Boyfriend
Modern!Smoker X Reader
-When your father grows weary of your single life, he takes it upon himself to play matchmaker. With him knowing the entire city, he embarks on a mission to find you the perfect match.
Chapter 1: Please please pleaseeeeee
"So you ruined your date?"
"He didn't show up! This isn't fair! It's not my fault he stood me up. I'm not going on another date," you retorted with a glare.
Your dad, instead of showing his usual worry, wore a sly smirk. "Don't worry, you won't have to go on any more dates."
You frowned, "Really? That fast?"
He smiled mischievously, "I mean you're going to get engaged. You don't have to go through those dates anymore, right?"
You blinked, taken aback, "Wait what who huh????"
"Engaged. You're going to get engaged to someone I chose for you. I was approached by a friend, Linlin. She said she wanted to marry off her son."
Your dad's words left you stunned, and your mind raced with a million questions about what he had in mind.
You shook your head vehemently, still processing the information. "I'm not getting engaged to a complete stranger. This is ridiculous."
Your dad remained unfazed, "Well, you will be if you stay single. Linlin got a lot of proposal offers, and I've already submitted your name. She's going through the list, and you'll have to respond in a week or two."
Your frustration was apparent as you retorted, "I'm not even a prime candidate? No, thank you, I'm not going to get engaged like this."
With a knowing look, your father suggested, "Maybe if you go on some dates, you'll find somebody before Big Mom announces you as her next daughter-in-law."
You could hardly contain your anger, "You are a despicable old man."
He chuckled, "Well, it better be a great man then!"
You felt utterly defeated after your conversation with your father, and the thought of returning home was too daunting. You decided to contact Buggy, asking him to meet you at Smoker's place instead.
Fortunately, Buggy was nearby and arrived at Smoker's apartment before you did. You both let yourselves in, even though Smoker was not at home at the moment. The familiar surroundings of his place offered some solace. You immediately began sharing the events of earlier to him.
Buggy was clearly shocked by your revelation. "No fucking way," he gasped in response.
You respond, exclaiming, "Yes fucking way. I'm going to... AHHHHHHH! WHAT AM I GONNA DO, BUG?! I DON'T WANNA GET ENGAGED! ESPECIALLY NOT TO A CHARLOTTE, HOLY SHIT!"
You paced around Smoker's living room, anxiety coursing through you.
Buggy brainstormed possible solutions. "Is there like a way to change this? Maybe tell Big Mom you don't wanna get married?"
"We both know Linlin doesn't care about us. And Dad said if I meet someone, he'll cancel the engagement..."
"So, you have to date someone?"
"Yeah, in a week! I'm not gonna find a guy I can date in a week, Bug, I'm over! I'm gonna be a wife! I'm gonna be Charlotte Y/N!!" You could feel the panic in your voice as the reality of your situation sunk in.
Buggy then smirks and interrupts you, saying, "You don't have to date date someone."
You were taken aback. "What? Yes, I do, Dad would—"
"No, listen to me," Buggy said, trying to explain his plan. "You can fake date."
"Fake date? Buggy, if you're gonna try fooling my dad—"
"DO YOU WANT HELP OR NOT?????"
"FINE WHAT IS IT"
"OKAY! So you can fake date. Find someone who'll pretend to be your boyfriend."
"My dad isn't dumb. He's going to know... especially if it only took me a week to find a boyfriend. Crocodile and I took 5 months before we put labels," you grumble.
"What about me? I'll pretend. We've known each other for a while, Rayleigh would let it slide."
"No, you suck at acting. You can't tell a lie for shit, Buggy. You'll end up pissing yourself in front of my dad," you grumble.
"What about Shanks?"
"He's a whore. He wouldn't be allowed to date anyone for a while, I can't do that to him."
Buggy leaned back in his chair, looking thoughtful. "Alright. So, no to me and Shanks, but we need to find someone who can convince your dad without raising suspicion. A good actor."
You both pondered for a moment. Your mind raced through the list of potential candidates.
As Smoker entered the room, your very serious discussion came to an abrupt halt. You and Buggy exchanged knowing smirks, and he gave a subtle nod.
"What the hell are you both doing here?"
You sauntered over to Smoker with a teasing smile and casually rested your arm on his shoulder, batting your eyelashes at him.
"Smokey, would you like to be my boyfriend?"
His response was short and simple. "No."
Undeterred by Smoker's initial refusal, you continued with your playful insistence, pouting and using your best puppy-dog eyes.
"Smookeyyyy, pleeeease! Pretty please with a cherry on top!"
You clung to his arm, swaying gently and wearing a playful smile.
"Why would I date you?" Smoker questioned.
"Because you love me, and I'm pretty?" You responded with a hint of mischief in your voice, flashing him your softest smile.
He grumbled, pushing you away as he crashed on the couch next to Buggy.
"Tell me what's happening," he sighed.
You and Buggy began retelling the events, explaining the impending arranged marriage and the need for a fake boyfriend to ward it off. Smoker listened, his usual gruff expression softening as he comprehended the situation.
"You're worried about Shanks' love life but not mine?"
"Well, you don't have one. So, pretty pleaseeee, just a few months." You grinned.
"Wait, how long is a few months?"
"About 5 to 6 months!"
"Isn't that like half a year?" Buggy blinked. "Why do you need it that long?"
"We can shorten it if needed, but that's the maximum duration we'll pretend to date. It depends on how long it takes to deceive my dad..."
Smoker raised an eyebrow, clearly skeptical. "And what's in it for me?"
You grinned mischievously. "I'll owe you one, Smokey. Whatever you want, within reason, once this is all over."
Buggy chimed in. "And I'll make sure you don't have to pay for any alcohol during the entire time you're 'dating' my dear friend here."
Smoker sighed, rubbing his temples. "You're both a pain in the ass. Fine, but the moment this is over, I don't want to hear a word about this ever again."
You cheered and hugged Smoker, who grunted in response. It seemed like your plan was coming together, though you couldn't help but wonder how well it would work out.
"I'll be in your care, darling~" You cooed.
"I'm already about to break up with you." He hissed.

A lil fic snippet for @journeytomonkiekid !
This was supposed to be part of soemthing bigger but I lost momentum lol but here we have Wan Ji and her father-in-law (my oc) hehe
——————————————————————————
“So, you’re not…back to life, exactly?” Wan Ji asked, hoping that question somehow came out okay.
“Well, we are…“ Zhuang Jie answered, not sounding any less neutral than before, but he still took a sip of his tea before continuing.
“I guess the best way I can put it is that we’re still technically ghosts, just in…fully corporeal forms. Even Changbiyuan can’t fully summarize how that works, so apologies, I’m not that much better off.” He smiled to himself a bit at that, clearly taking some humor in it, which made Wan Ji relax a bit more. She was alone with the elder man in Macaque’s dojo right now — who had made himself scarce during this topic of conversation, for fairly obvious reasons.
Despite the mutual understanding (at least, there was an assumption of such), Wan Ji noted that the lack of his son’s presence did bear some weight on Zhuang Jie — and when Wan Ji looked back up at him from her own drink, she saw the concern in his eyes as he regarded her.
“Does it bother you?” He asked, his tone genuine.
“What?” Wan Ji’s tails fluffed up a bit in surprise, and she quickly raised a hand in frantic reassurance. “Oh no, no, not at all! I just wanted to make sure I didn’t say or…assume anything…insensitive…” she explained, self-consciousness starting to grip her — but Zhuang Jie’s expression softened quickly, and he chuckled. She couldn’t help but hear Macaque at that moment.
“Don’t worry about that, I appreciate it. I don’t think there’s any easy way to put it. We both were dead, and…now we’re not. But we’re not going anywhere.” He said gently, and Wan Ji saw his eyes leave hers, gaze deepening at the purple training mat in front of them. “Not again.”
Wan Ji was still a little bit in wonder about this whole thing. Macaque having a father and stepparent who came back from the dead, sure, that was incredible and complicated…she wasn’t sure what to expect at first. But now she was seeing how this man was capable of such pure paternal warmth, in words and action. Even more so that it was currently directed at her. She was pretty sure he had genuinely smiled at her more in this one conversation than her father had in years. She…wasn’t really sure how she felt about that, honestly, so she was trying not to dwell on it. Besides, that didn’t matter right now.
“I am so sorry that you went through that, Zhuang.” Wan Ji spoke empathetically, welling up a bit when thinking of this sorrowful subject she’d been learning more about piece by piece over the last few weeks. “I can’t even imagine what it must’ve been like.”
“It’s alright. And please — don’t try to.” He said, looking back at her with reassurance. “I don’t want to overwhelm you with this topic if it’s uncomfortable to hear about. But don’t worry about offending me — I’m too old for that now.” He said with a joking smirk, and Wan Ji let out a snort.
“Point is, if you have any other questions, I’m fine to answer them, kiddo.”
“…You and Changbiyuan?” She questioned. Surprisingly, Zhuang Jie nodded without hesitation.“Of course. They’d like that, actually.” He stated plainly, and Wan Ji felt taken aback.
“Really?” She couldn’t help but say aloud, and she quickly felt herself regret it, her face warming in embarrassment when Zhuang Jie raised a brow at her questioningly.
“Sorry! It’s just, Macaque told me a little about…” She paused when feeling that same sinking in her gut, that same chill running over her…the memories of that demon.
“...What happened to them.” Zhuang Jie listened patiently as she took a moment to get her words together. “I guess I figured that asking them about it directly would possibly be…triggering for them.” She finished, nervously glancing up to see Zhuang Jie’s reaction. He was nodding contemplatively, unangered.
“That’s a fair assumption to make. When it comes to certain…details, you’re not wrong.” He clarified gravely, taking a moment before smiling lightly at the younger woman.
“But here’s the thing about Changbiyuan — you don’t know them well yet, but once you do, they’re an open book. Sometimes too much of one.” He said, and Wan Ji smiled back at him. It was sweet, hearing him talk about Changbiyuan. About Macaque, too, and seeing this…trust he was placing in her, a woman he basically just met. She briefly wondered just what she was missing.
“They definitely have many horrible memories, we both do. But they cherish the good ones with all of their heart, and want them to be known. If you want to ask them about their family…I think will make them really happy. Especially in this case. You’re someone we both hope to be close to.”

right away, mr. harrington.
Tumblr media
summary: an illicit affair with your boss steve harrington can only end one way, heartbreak. c/w: so steve is like 39 in this and reader is around 24, i didn't wanna write r any younger but also think this age gap is still a bit dodge. there's also rough sex and like he's a bit of an asshole honestly. modern! au. also i guess plussize!reader but it's like a sentence of description so i don't wanna tag it as that. so i actually LOVED writing this like a lot so i hope you enjoy <3
‘no, i really am going to end it this time, tomorrow in fact,’ you take a sip from the wine glass, looking up at your roommate.
‘do what you want darling, i know if a man like that was interested in me, i’d do the same damn thing,’ emma snorts, unscrewing the wine lid and filling both of your glasses.
‘i know, but i feel bad.. nancy is a lovely woman, it’s not fair,’ you respond. the thing is, at first it was just mindless, admittedly amazing, sex but the more time you’d spent with him, the more you’d begun actually having feelings for him.
it hurt more because nancy really was a nice person, she’d always bake little treats for the office, bringing them in with a smile. and she was always polite to you, complimenting your new shoes and your nice new skirt that steve had actually bought you.
it was strange really, because you and nancy couldn’t have been more different. you were more.. round. you had thick thighs, wide hips and carried a lil’ bit of extra weight around your stomach. whereas she was petite and slender. you were loud mouthed and cocky, whilst she seemed much more reserved and honestly a little shy.
‘she probably knows, don’t all big bosses fuck their assistants?’ she chortles.
‘i’m not his assistant, i’m in admin,’ you sarcastically quip back. realistically you were a glorified receptionist, but telling people that you worked in admin for the harrington law firm made you look miles better.
‘of course, pardon me for the mistake,’ she raises her eyebrow.
you hadn’t meant to start an affair with steve, really. you’d stayed late at the office one night, trying to finish the monthly report before monday, steve was in his office tapping away at his computer, quite frankly you hadn’t even noticed.
you were swearing under your breath trying to get the photocopier to cooperate when he swings his office door open, ‘giving ya’ trouble?’
‘shit!’ you clutch your chest, realising who you’d just sworn at, ‘oh my god, sorry! i didn’t realise you were still here!’
he chuckles moving to stand next to you, he clicks one of the buttons and it clunks and starts printing.
‘easy, the trick is to not get angry at it and it’ll listen,’ he smiles down at you. you notice how he’d loosened his tie, his hair messy from running his hands through it.
‘ahh, should’ve known.. thank you,’ you grin back, you rarely saw your boss, he was far too busy to socialise with his workers.
‘uhh..’ he sighs, slapping his forehead sarcastically, ‘forgive me, what was your name?’
you giggle, ‘y/n, i’m in admin,’ gosh you’d never noticed just how attractive mr. harrington really was.
‘right right, i remember now.. how come you’re still here?’ his arm brushes against yours making your whole body shiver.
‘i had to get this stupid report done before monday, thought i’d better stay.’
‘hard worker.. i like it, is it finished?’
‘it is now, thanks to you,’ you grin, collecting the papers from the machine.
‘come and join me for a drink in my office, celebrate your hard work?’ he touches your arm briefly.
‘ahh i shouldn’t.. i still need to staple them and-,’
‘i have a stapler in my office,’ raising his eyebrows.
‘okay..’ you concede, following him into his office.
he’d only had some very expensive whisky but you put up with the burn and sat and drank it with him for hours.
and then somehow you’re on the edge of his desk, legs wrapped around his waist as he pounds into you, hands gripping onto the fat of your hips.
you limped out of the office, arriving home in the early hours of the morning, much later than you’d intended.
from that night on, you and steve had started the affair. it began with late nights in his office, slowly moving to secret meetings at hotels and then now, staying at his house when nancy was away communicating through the second phone he’d bought especially for you.
the day after the not so helpful conversation with emma, you strut into the office, prepared to end things once and for all.
you were wearing the tiny black skirt he’d bought for you, perhaps subconsciously, knowing that he’d be salivating as soon as you walked into his office.
it’s nearly the end of the day before you get the guts to walk in there, lightly wrapping your knuckles on his door.
there’s an exaggerated gag from behind you, you spin to see one of the guys from accounts jerking his hand in a mock blowjob. you roll your eyes, it wasn’t a secret that people in the office were speculating about you. noticing the trips to his office and how you’d both mysteriously appeared from the bathroom at the christmas party, hair messed up and a trace of red lipstick on his collar.
it was all the more annoying because steve actually wasn’t doing anything for you at work. you’d explicitly told him to keep it all seperate. you didn’t want promotions handed to you. any and everything you’d earned was all you.
‘come in,’ he calls and you oblige, shutting the door firmly behind you.
he snaps the lid of his laptop shut, looking up at you and then down to the short skirt, his signature smirk creeping to his face.
‘it’s you,’ he breathes, pushing his chair back from his desk and standing.
‘what’re you hiding? don’t tell me you’re having an affair?’ you feign shock, walking over to his desk. you hated the effect he had on you, before you’d come in here you were so ready to shut him down and now you were crumbling at the sight of him.
‘ahh, you caught me,’ he holds his hands up as you walk over to him.
‘well i hope she’s not prettier than me,’ you pout, his hands resting on your waist, pulling you into him.
‘that’d be a tough one,’ he smirks.
you bite your lip, your cheeks flushing with heat at his words, ‘really, what are you hiding?’
‘well.. it was supposed to be a surprise buut since you’re here…’ he pulls away, lifting the laptop screen to show the conformation screen for a very, very fancy hotel.
you lean in to look at the screen, ‘what..? what’s that for?’
‘for this weekend, nancy’s away at some conference until monday so i’m all yours,’ he turns to you, smiling.
‘oh.. okay,’ you try not to sound unappreciative but he had just knocked your plans right off course. this wasn’t helping you in trying to convince yourself you weren’t hopelessly in love with your married boss.
‘oh.. not a good idea then,’ he sits back on the chair, a slight frown on his face.
‘no.. no, it’s great, i just didn’t expect it at all,’ you wrap your arms around his neck, perching on his lap.
how could you ever end things with him? he’s the first man to ever think about you so deeply and sincerely. even if it was only when nancy was away.
‘really? you didn’t seem too happy..’ his arms wrap around your waist, the frown still apparent on his face.
‘i am, really steve, thank you,’ planting a small kiss to his nose before you press your forehead to his.
he finally smiles, ‘you deserve it.. we’re going tonight, i’ll pick you up at seven, pack for the whole weekend we’re back sunday night.’
‘okay, exciting.. are we-,’ you’re cut off by a knock at his door, jumping up from his lap and practically sprinting to the other side of the desk.
he clears his throat, spinning to sit correctly at his desk, ‘come in.’
carol, his very lovely but elderly assistant walks into the room. you were sure he’d only hired her to keep nancy off his trail.
‘i’ll get on that right away mr. harrington,’ you smile at him and use the interruption to slip out of the room.
you sit back at your desk, a collection of eager eyes on you.
you pull out your phone to text emma,
‘i’ll be back sometime sunday lol’
she pings back almost immediately,
‘didn’t go well then?’
‘of course not’
‘i think i’m actually in love with him em.. this is not good’
you place your phone back on your desk, attempting to get back to work.
-
the hotel room is huge.
decked head to toe with candles and bouquets of flowers.
‘oh my god,’ you drop your bag onto the velvet chair, taking in the magnificent room.
‘your favourites,’ he nods over to the vases full of sunflowers adorning the sides.
‘oh, thank you.. thank you,’ you snake your arms around his neck, kissing his lips.
he walks you backwards towards the bed, your knees buckling as they hit the edge and you fall back onto the soft mattress, his body now on top of yours.
his hands wander down to your thighs, creeping up your skirt.
you take his bottom lip between your teeth as his thumb begins to circle your clit above your underwear.
quickly letting go as he presses harder, causing you to moan into his mouth. his fingers hook onto the lacy hem of your panties, yanking them down to your thighs.
‘mmm, i love these ones,’ he looks down between your bodies, his thumb returning to its previous position, circling faster.
‘fuck steve,’ your eyes squeeze shut at the feeling of his fingers sliding into you.
‘so wet for me already, baby,’ he growls, nipping at your neck.
you moan in response, tugging at his blazer hinting for him to remove it.
your stomach tightens, his fingers dangerously close to sending you over the edge. he can tell as the grip on his arm tightens, your chest heaving up and down.
‘yeah? you gonna cum for me baby,’ he groans, eyes firmly on you as you cry out at your orgasm. legs shaking as steve removes his fingers, smirking down at you.
he was, genuinely, the first man to care about making you cum before he did. not only that, but he was so good at it. he was proud of the fact that he could have you writhing underneath him in five minutes.
‘jesus,’ you pant, looking up at him.
‘not sure he was responsible for that one, darling,’ he retorts, going to stand from the bed.
you grab his hand, taking the two fingers that had just been inside of you and wrapping your lips around them, looking at him through your eyelashes.
he inhales sharply, ‘you drive me crazy..’ his thumb strokes your cheek, before sliding his fingers out, a low moan rumbling from his throat.
‘c’mon.. what about you, mr. harrington? i wanna make you feel good,’ you mew, lightly placing your foot on his crotch and sliding it down ever so slowly.
you can hear his breath hitch in his throat, ‘we have dinner in an hour..’
‘i’ll be quick.. promise,’ you flip onto your knees, crawling to the edge of the bed. unbuckling his belt and sliding his tailored pants down. he shrugs his blazer off, now stood in his tight, white button-up shirt. it fit perfectly, highlighting his defined biceps.
‘so hard for me already?’ you run your hand over his bulge, mocking his words from earlier.
‘baby please, i’m begging you..’ he pants, his hand running through his hair.
‘hmmm, i like the sound of that,’ you tug his boxer shorts down, his erection springing up, tip already leaking pre-cum.
the size of him still genuinely shocked you. the first few times you fucked, you had to get accustomed to his length, unsure if it was going to tear you in two.
you spit into your hand and take his cock into your grasp, pumping your hand up and down. his knees almost giving way as you fasten the pace.
‘fucking hell,’ he grunts, his long fingers curling into your hair.
you crawl forward, taking his cock into your mouth, beginning to bob your head up and down.
low moans fall from his lips as he twists your hair into a make-shift ponytail, yanking on it as his dick hits the back of your throat.
your hands grab onto his hips as he begins to thrust into your mouth, gagging at the feeling of his cock repeatedly slamming your throat.
you look up at him, his dark eyes already staring down at you. the eye contact makes him fall apart, your name tumbling from his lips as you can feel his cock twitch in your throat.
he gives one last thrust as he cums into your mouth, ‘holy fuck,’ he says breathlessly, pulling away from you.
you swallow the liquid and wipe your mouth, sitting back on the bed.
‘i don’t think i can go to dinner like this,’ you laugh, your mascara now smudged and the nude lipstick you’d chosen now anywhere but your lips.
‘you look perfect to me,’ he leans down, kissing your swollen lips, ‘we do actually have to go though.’
-
you wake up to an empty bed and hushed arguing in the next room.
‘i told you.. well i can't.. i don't think you're listening..’ you can only hear snippets of the conversation but you can tell steve is annoyed.
5:24am
the clock reads and you sigh, it could be one of two things: nancy or work, honestly the thought of either was annoying.
he climbs back into bed, almost an hour later, wrapping his arm around your waist and pressing himself against your back.
‘who was that?’ you mumble, voice full of sleep.
‘oh, it’s just work.. needed me to sign off on some things,’ he says, hiding his face in your neck.
‘you sounded angry,’ you note.
he combs your hair with his fingers, exposing the back of your neck and planting light kisses to the skin.
‘i was, it’s five am on a saturday, i don’t want to be woken up because idiots can’t do their job,’ he mutters into your neck.
from the conversation you could hear, that was evidently not work, in fact you’d literally heard him hiss nancy’s name down the phone multiple times.
but it’s far easier to just ignore, rather than argue about why his wife was calling so early and why he was so angry about it.
‘okay,’ you wriggle around to face him, slinging your leg over his, intertwining them.
‘it’s too early to be awake.. go back to sleep baby,’ he tilts his head down to place a kiss to your forehead.
your heart skips a beat at the intimacy and you’re so nearly tempted to just blurt out that you actually think you’re in love with him. but you bite your tongue, not wanting to ruin the weekend.
-
you’re sat opposite steve in some incredibly fancy restaurant when he slides a thin box across the table.
you look at him, puzzled, ‘what’s that?’
‘just open it,’ he sits back in his chair, smiling.
you take the lid off slowly revealing a stunning diamond encrusted bracelet.
'steve.. no, i can't accept this..' you slide the box back over to him.
he takes the box, carefully taking the bracelet out of it and grabbing your wrist, he clasps the bracelet and places your hand back on your lap.
you admire the glistening jewellery now adorning your wrist, 'you really didn't have to,' you beam back at him.
'but i wanted to, i'm glad you like it,' he takes a swig of wine, gazing over at you.
'thank you, i love it,' you lean across the table, placing a light kiss to his lips.
'good,' he smiles against your lips, as you sit back in your chair.
you look around the busy restaurant, 'you look like my sugar daddy, you know,' giggling.
he groans, 'god, i don't look that old, do i?'
you jut out your bottom lip sarcastically, 'ooh, i'd say.. 48.. on a good day.'
'wow.. i think i've still got the receipt for that bracelet,' he remarks.
you reach over and take his hand, 'no, you look great for your age, though i can see some greys peaking through,' you laugh.
he shakes his head in response, a slight smile on his lips. your humour was lost on him, though you'd tried to get him to understand some of your jokes and references, it was useless. he'd actually asked you to help him set up an instagram account, so he could 'be friends with you' on there.
you intertwine your fingers, 'no, you really do look great.'
'i know,' he winks and you roll your eyes at the sheer cockiness.
the waitress walks over with plates of foods, noticing his ringed finger intertwined with yours. you catch the slight frown she flashes you and drop his hand, a sudden wave of guilt flashing over you.
_
emma notices the new bit of bling straight away, gushing at your new present.
'i'm gonna assume it's not ending anytime soon then?' she asks, admiring your wrist.
you groan as your palm hits your forehead, 'i don't know.. nancy called him when we were away.. he told me it was work but i'm not stupid.. anyway, i've never heard him so angry.. it was weird,' you shake your head, looking to your roommate for advice.
'hmm.. that is weird.. maybe she found something? like the receipt to that bracelet.. i know i'd be angry as shit if i found that without the bracelet..' she suggests, finally giving letting go of your arm.
'i dunno.. he said she was away this weekend.. some conference or something, so surely she wasn't home to find it?'
'oh, well.. i actually have no explanation for that.. just ask him, what's the worst that could happen?'
you think back to the time you'd made an off-the-cuff joke about nancy's name on his phone and how he immediately went into a foul mood, 'why are you bringing her up? i'm here with you, okay? we don't need to talk about my wife.'
though, he did occasionally use you as someone to rant to about her, telling you about how loveless his marriage was, how she barely even looked at him anymore and how really he was just looking for the right time to divorce her. you knew to keep your mouth shut and just listen because as soon as you'd ask a follow-up question about her, he'd shut his mouth.
'god no.. we don't talk about her.. i'm sure it was nothing.. if it was that bad he woulda gone home, right?'
'yeah.. exactly, don't stress about it.. not with that on your wrist,' she chuckles. she didn't exactly help, only appeasing your delusions but you still appreciated her words of not-so-much wisdom nonetheless.
_
you fluff your hair up, making sure the curls sat perfectly before smoothing out your floor length gown and heading out to the taxi steve had booked you outside.
you'd attended a handful of the business dinners with steve before, the general consensus you'd gathered were that the women that accompanied these men were girlfriends, rather than wives. every single suited man sat around your table had a gorgeous, younger woman on their arm and a wedding band on their fourth finger. you included.
it was also incredibly evident that although these men had girlfriends, none of you had boyfriends.
this dinner was different, half of the team were going to be there so you and steve had to be totally unconcerned with each other. he'd booked a room for you both at the hotel after you'd pretend to try and find a cab with your colleagues.
you walk into the large hall, alongside a few of the people from the office.
you spot steve, dressed to the nines not that he ever didn't make an effort. and then you see nancy stood beside him, wearing a pale pink gown. the exact shade steve had previously convinced you not to buy as it was 'boring'.
you're slightly taken aback as she never usually attended these things, but you brush it off, sitting down where your placeholder inked your name. conveniently your seat was opposite steve at the large round table. he'd surely been responsible for the placing.
the night trundles on, many large glasses of white wine consumed. you pick up on the fact nancy is on the water, so vehemently shutting down any offers of wine.
'i love your bracelet, y/n.. it's gorgeous,' carol states taking your wrist into her hand.
'i know, my daddy bought it for me, a congratulations present,' you smile.
steve chokes on the wine in his mouth, causing a clatter of plates and cutlery as everyone's eyes land on him.
'excuse me, must've gone down the wrong hole,' he shoots you an irked look which you brush off, downing another glass of wine.
you're positively tipsy when nancy stands from the table, nudging steve to stand next to her, she clears her throat, 'steve and i wanted to make a little announcement.. we're pregnant!'
your heart drops. you'd known from the second you noticed she wasn't drinking. the fact she was even in attendance should've been a tell tale sign.
you press your lips together in a forced smile, eyes planted on nancy, rather than the massive dickhead stood next to her. you didn't hate her, how could you? she'd done nothing wrong.
you join in on the applause, even going up to congratulate her still choosing to ignore steve.
the rest of the night goes by in a blur, nancy leaves at some point or another, coming up to hug you goodbye, her kindness making your stomach turn.
your other phone buzzes at the end of the night as you stand besides your colleagues waiting for a cab. you'd intended to just hop in and go home, leaving steve on his own in the overpriced hotel room.
'where are you? there's a key under your name at the desk'
you swallow, making up some pathetic excuse to go back inside the hotel to your colleagues. they flash a few knowing looks to each other before saying goodbye as you stumble up the stone steps and into the reception.
'uhh.. y/n y/l/n.. there should be a key..?' you question the polite lady at the front desk.
she hands you a plastic keycard, 'yes, room 906.. have a nice evening,' she smiles at you.
you're on a mission to get to steve, the anger unfolding in your stomach as you press the elevator button. it dings on the ninth floor and you step out, unlocking the sixth door.
steve is stood at the desk, pouring two glasses of wine as you walk in.
he can tell instantly that you're angry, in fact you were positively furious.
'are you joking? she's fucking pregnant, steve! did you not think to let me know?' you screech, throwing your bag down and storming over to his position.
he raises his hands in defeat, 'i was going to tell you.. i promise, she just sprung it on me saying she was going to do it tonight.. i had no choice,' he's so calm with his words, you almost believe him.
'hah, get fucked.. you've known for god knows how long and not told me, you expect me to believe you?' you spit at him, jabbing a finger into his chest.
'yes, because it's the truth.. why would i ever choose to announce such news here? especially to you.. you mean much more to me than that.'
'do you seriously think this can continue? she's pregnant, for fuck's sake,' you stare daggers into him, wishing you weren't so hopelessly in love with the caramel eyes that stared back.
'why not? it wasn't a problem when she wasn't pregnant.. now you want to take the moral high ground? it's far too late for that,' his jaw is tense.
'it's different! and you know that!' you jab his chest against as his hand grabs your wrist, constraining you.
'why'd you come here then? you could've gone home, hell i'll book you a cab right now, if it's what you want,' the side of his mouth ever so curls up into a slight smirk. already knowing your answer.
'i came up here to tell you to get fucked,' ignoring his offer for a cab.
'okay, you've done that.. you're still here,' he cocks his head to the side slightly.
'get fucked.'
his lips crash onto yours, your arm snakes around his neck as you kiss him back, eyes squeezed shut.
you yank at the back of his hair, the kiss desperate and full of breathless moans as he presses you back against the desk. much like the night that had started this whole affair.
he pulls away, spinning your body round and holding onto the back of your neck, bending you over the desk.
his fingers unzip your dress, sliding it down your body as his large hands slide up your thighs, settling on your waist.
you hold your weight up on the desk, feeling his already erect cock pressing against you. he takes your wrists in his hand, practically slamming the side of your face down against the wood.
you groan in response, he unknots his tie and wraps it around your wrists and tying it in a tight knot.
he rips your panties off with such force they sting your thigh, causing you to inhale sharply.
'are you gonna take my cock? huh? you gonna be a good girl?' he puts his hand on the side of your face, pressing you down onto the desk.
you nod under his palm, 'c'mon i wanna hear your words, baby.'
'y-yes,' you manage to mumble out, he slaps his cock on your slick entrance. it pained you to say it but this was turning you on ridiculously, he was rarely this dominant with you.
'good,' he thrusts into you with no warning, grabbing onto the tie around wrists, holding them tight behind your back.
you gasp as he continues to pound into you, steve pulls your body up towards his your back flush against his chest, he growls into your ear, 'you're such a good girl.. much better when your pretty little mouth is moaning for me.'
his hand creeps around your neck, balls slapping against the back of your thighs, unintelligible moans tumble out of your lips as his pace quickens, slamming into you with his fingers squeezing your neck.
his thrusts falter as he grumbles into your ear, 'fuck,' you can feel him shudder behind you, filling you up.
steve pulls out, standing back just watching you in the precarious position.
'you're cute when you're angry but i prefer you like this, i might just have to leave you like this,' he smirks, pulling his boxers back up around his waist.
'please, untie me,' you bargain, attempting to wriggle free but it was useless.
'only because you said please,' he unties the knot, freeing your wrists as he stands right behind you.
'have you got something i can wear?' you turn to look at him, admiring his sweaty chest, heaving up and down.
'in my bag,' he grabs your arm, pulling you back to him, 'you're staying here?'
you nod, pulling away and walking over to the brown leather bag on the bag, finding a black t-shirt and a pair of his boxers, slipping them on.
he walks over to the bed, wrapping his arms around your shoulders, ‘i knew you would, though i will say i did enjoy your little performance earlier.’
you roll your eyes, ‘it wasn’t a performance, i’m still angry with you.’
‘hmm, thought i might’ve fucked it out of you, but clearly not,’ he chuckles and you almost melt at the feeling of his chest vibrating against your back.
‘i’m tired, i’ve got no energy to fight with you again,’ you sigh.
he leans down, kissing the back of your neck before removing his arms, ‘thank god for that, not sure my back would last another round like that.’
you slide into the big bed, pulling the covers around your shoulders. you really should’ve just gone home, but the thought of having to get a cab after all of that was too much.
quite honestly, you knew this would be your last night with steve. there was no way you could continue the relationship knowing nancy was at home pregnant with his child. it wasn’t necessarily the thought of her being pregnant either, but the fact that he loved her, and not you.
he climbs into bed next to you, snaking his arm around your waist and pulling you closer. you snuggle into his chest, exhaling as you lay your head on his shoulder. slowly drifting off to sleep.
-
you wake up to the sunrise, creeping in through the drawn curtains.
6:34am your phone reads.
you sigh, carefully sliding out of the bed, as to not wake the snoring steve next to you.
not intending to still be here when he awoke.
you slip on the dress you’d worn last night, over his black tee, deciding it was only fair that you also took his suit jacket, for your modesty.
taking the other phone he’d given to you and leaving it alongside the bracelet he’d most recently gifted, on the bed.
you can’t help but steal a quick glance of him, the last time you’d see him in such a peaceful state.
picking up the uncomfortable heels you’d worn last night and creeping out of the hotel before he had the opportunity to sweet talk you into continuing the affair.
-
monday morning is dire in the office. you hadn’t spoken to steve since friday evening. even though he’d tried. even breaking the number one rule he’d set out for you: don’t use his personal number for anything.
you’d received a text in the middle of saturday morning,
‘please call me, it’s urgent.’
smart man, knowing that he could so easily play it off as some work emergency. you ignored of course. too busy sobbing into emma’s arms to care.
you pull open the top drawer of your desk, and there lies the phone you’d left in the hotel, right next to the glimmering bracelet.
there was already a text message on the phone screen,
‘come to my office as soon as you see this.’
you choose to ignore once again, closing the drawer and continuing with the work on your screen.
what you couldn’t see was steve getting agitated in his office, surely you had seen the message by now?
there’s an hour until the end of the day when carol trundles over to your desk, ‘mr. harrington has requested you in his office.’
you sigh, standing from your chair and strutting over to his door. three knocks on the wood before he tells you to enter, and you do, closing the door behind you.
‘what the fuck are you playing at?’
‘what?’
‘you know exactly what.. you didn’t get my messages?’
‘no i did,’ you stare at him as steps forward towards you.
‘you didn’t think to reply? you left in the middle of the night, you could’ve been dead for all i knew,’ he snaps.
‘well i’m not, i thought you would’ve taken the hint and realised i don’t want to speak to you,’ you shuffle backwards as he gets closer.
'i don't understand, i thought we sorted this mess out at the hotel? now what? you don't want to do this anymore?' he tilts his head slightly, staring at you.
'yes, exactly that,' you nod, crossing your arms over your chest.
'well.. that's your choice, but i am telling you now that nothing between us will change.. there's no reason to end this now,' he moves closer, now only mere inches away from you.
'i can't steve, i won't do it anymore..' a tear slides down your cheek, quick to wipe it away, 'you know.. very well that i love you.. i can't watch you have a kid with her while i feel like this,' you're crying now, attempting to speak through the sobs.
'you know how i feel about you..' he cups your face in his hands, but you pull back, jerking your face away.
'say it then.'
'i- wel..' he fumbles over himself, unable to speak the words you were so desperate to hear.
you can't help but smile, despite your bottom lip quivering, a sob threatening to erupt.
'look.. i- it's just difficult-,' he stammers.
you walk over to the door, back facing him, as he grits his teeth, irritated at how quickly you were willing to leave this.
'i'll.. uh, i'll get you transferred to our brooklyn office.. i think you'll be very happy there.'
you scoff and walk out of his office for the last time, slamming the door behind you. you can feel the collective stare from the office as you walk to the bathroom, tears streaming down your cheeks.
and you truly realise, girls like you weren’t ever supposed to be like nancy. you were forever going to be a girlfriend. or the other woman, not good enough for pole position but always, always good enough to hang off of their arm as eye candy. steve could move you to another office, out of sight out of mind, right?
but another you would come along just as fast as you had, stealing pathetic glances across the office, sly touches in the staff room, the gifts and then it’d all get too much. wives get suspicious and she’d be shipped off just as quick as you were.
you're sat in a cubicle crying quietly when you can hear the bathroom door open.
'y/n..?' there's a light knock to the door, 'can i come in?' you click the lock, allowing her to come in.
it's carol, steve's sweet little assistant walks in and bends down to your level.
you furrow your brows in confusion but she looks softly back at you, a slight frown on her face.
'i don't know... exactly.. what's been going on.. but, i do know that you are far too good for that man, men like him.. they get off on ruining young girls,' she wipes your cheek with her thumb, 'but you.. you're not going to let him ruin you, okay?'
you sniffle, looking up at her with a small smile, 'okay..'
'you walk out of here with your head held high and you forget all about him,' she puts her hands on your shoulders, rubbing slightly.
what you didn't know was that you weren't the first young girl to leave this office because of him and you most certainly wouldn't be the last. she'd bore witness to girls full of ambition joining the office to end up with a head crammed with dreams about their relationship with steve. only to end up the exact same way as you, hopelessly in love with a married man.

pirate!Eddie Munson x fem!reader ♡ 897 words
You keep your eyes steadfastly on the horizon, scanning for any sign of land. The water gleams blue-black in the moonlight, and you’re not sure if you could make out a landmass even if there was one, but you don’t have anything better to do. 
“You gonna stay there the whole time?” The boy drawls from his hammock. It’s the same one who’d helped you onto the ship earlier with long-fingered, calloused hands. “You sea sick or something?” 
“No,” you huff. “Just thinking of making a swim for it.” 
The pirate snorts. “How far are you thinking you can swim, sweetheart? The closest land is the island we picked you up on.” You turn to him, and you must look as ferocious as you feel, because he raises his hands in a lazy don’t-shoot gesture. “Hey, you’re welcome to go back if that’s what you want. Since apparently being rescued doesn’t suit you.” 
“But rescued by whom?” you spit. “Being stuck with pirates doesn't seem like a very good alternative to being stranded.” 
His mouth curls up on the right side. “You make us sound so nefarious, gorgeous. We’re trying to make ends meet, just like everyone else.” 
“Everyone else seems capable of staying within the law.” 
“But whose law?” You make no answer, and after a minute, he climbs out of his hammock. You stiffen as he comes towards you but don’t allow yourself to move away, even when he leans against the edge of the ship, barely a foot from you. “I think we got off on the wrong foot,” he says, and the gentleness of his tone surprises you. “What’s your name?” 
You narrow your eyes. Isn’t that sort of thing valuable information to a pirate? What if they think to hold you for ransom?
If he’s put out by your silence, he doesn’t show it. “Fair enough. Mine’s Eddie.” 
He sticks out a hand, and you shake it warily, eyeing the knife at his belt all the while. 
“Listen,” he goes on, undeterred by your hostility. “I know you probably have lots of ideas about pirates, and how we’re all wild, evil brutes, but no one here is going to hurt you.” He looks you in the eye, raising his eyebrows imploringly. “I promise, okay? We’re hoping to make land by the end of the week, and then you can run if you want, or I can help you figure out how to get wherever you wanna go. Sound good?” 
You look at him, the contrast between the warm brown of his eyes and the cold steel of his knife confusing you. You don’t know if you can trust him, but you suppose you don’t have much choice. 
“Okay,” you say finally. “Why would you do that, though? Why even bother taking me with you?” 
Eddie shrugs, relaxing a bit now that you no longer look like you’re going to take a dive over the edge of the ship. “Why not? We’ve got enough food to feed an extra mouth, and we’re still making money whether we help people out or not.” 
Making money…”Through robbery, you mean.” 
Eddie doesn’t bristle like you expect him to. “Depends on who you ask. If one group of people takes money from another and we intercept it somewhere in the middle, is it any more stolen than it already was?” 
You go quiet again, and Eddie gives you a soft sort of smile. “I’m not trying to lecture you, sweetheart, I just want you to understand that we’re not bad guys. At least,” he allows, “we don’t see ourselves that way. You’re safe here.” 
“Alright,” you say quietly, finding yourself closer and closer to believing him. “Thank you.” 
Eddie’s grin looks almost goofy. “No thanks necessary,” he assures you. “Think you might be able to sleep now, though? I find being stuck on a ship with the same people every day does not mix well with sleep deprivation. Don’t need you getting snappy with the Captain tomorrow.” 
You gnaw on your lip, looking warily around the ship for a safe corner to curl up in. You don’t want to go below deck with the rest of the men, but you don’t like the idea of one of them stumbling upon you up here in the morning either. 
Eddie seems to wisen to your dilemma, nodding pensively. “You can have my hammock, if you want. I’ve got an extra few blankets, I could make myself a bed right next to it so nobody bothers you.” 
You look at him hopefully, too exhausted and on edge to feel guilty. “Really?”
He chuckles, nudging you in the direction of the hammock. “Sure, sweetheart. We’ll figure out something better in the morning.” 
You climb into the hammock, shifting around awkwardly until you find a comfortable position. You watch over the edge as Eddie folds the blankets he’s stored nearby, making a little sleeping pad for himself. You try to imagine this boy holding his knife to a sailor’s throat, laughing at bloodshed, burning villages to the ground. He looks up at you as he gets settled, flashing you a smile and a dorky thumbs-up. You can’t picture it. 
“Goodnight,” you say quietly, letting your body relax into its fabric cradle. 
“Sleep tight,” Eddie sing-songs, and with that last reassurance, you let the shushing of the waves lull you to sleep.

chapter 1: a bet. / gojo satoru
Tumblr media
gojo in a suit wearing nice perfume yes please
wc: 2,194
Tumblr media
Being a legal secretary was far from a straightforward job. You need to be smart, but not too much, otherwise the insecure old men might lose their minds. You needed to draft and proofread legal documents and thus understand legal ongoings, on top of ensuring important court filings were submitted on time. But being a great legal secretary meant doing so much more, and being a great legal secretary at one of the top firms in Los Angeles? God, did you deserve a medal for doing all the heavy lifting while wearing heels!
Suguru would be lost without you truly, and that’s something the whole firm knew. Your researching abilities gave him a step ahead of the opposing party, and the critical details you had uncovered had saved more than a few cases from being lost. Add to that your legal strategy you were more of an associate than the third years. Which is why for the past six years, you’ve been Suguru Getou’s secretary.
You were friends first, having met at a shitty dive bar near Harvard’s campus in your final years. (He in law school and your undergrad) You didn’t run in the same circles, but it was thanks to an internship you had landed at a third rate law firm near campus, which Suguru also had an internship at, you two bonded. Perhaps over one too many jager-bombs, but what university without those regrets?
Besides those regrets, you got your job now at Masamichi & Associates Los Angeles Branch, which you loved. Minus the 80 work weeks, ass kissing to rich clients, dealing with the first year associates, and the — well, there’s a lot you could say you disliked about the job, but truly you love it. Even if you had to miss out on your friend’s bachelorette party. It was her second marriage to be fair, so you didn’t feel as bad. But yes, you loved your job. Except for right now.
You stood in front of Suguru’s desk, seething with anger. “You used me as a bet?!”
“Y/n, listen,” Suguru said, holding up his hands in defence. “I was certain I was going to win!”
“Oh my god,” you said, shaking your head. “I should throttle you! I mean, what the hell, Suguru? You didn’t even ask me if I was fine with being bet on.”
“I knew you would say no,” Suguru admitted.
“No shit, I’d say no!” you exclaimed.
“Y/n,” Suguru said, standing up from his chair and motioning for you to sit down in his place. “I truly thought he wouldn’t win the case and that I’d actually have to pay up.”
You sat down, plopping down into the chair rather than sitting gracefully. Suguru stood behind you and rubbed your shoulders.
“I can’t believe you,” you said. “After all that we have been through, you threw me away to a half-rate lawyer.”
“Okay, harsh,” Suguru said. “He’s not a half-rate lawyer-“
“You’re the one who called him that,” you pointed out.
Suguru sighed. “Yes, I did,” he said. “But I was just being facetious. I know he’s a talented lawyer.”
“Then why did you bet me on him?” you asked.
“Because I was confident that I was going to win,” Suguru said again. “I thought it would be a funny bet, you know? A little friendly wager.”
“It wasn’t funny,” you said. “It is humiliating. I feel like a prize to be won, not a person.”
“You’re the best person and he’s actually a wonderful lawyer, the best at the branch in Japan, which is why he’s coming to the New York branch. Plus, Satoru is a friend of mine from my undergraduate and law school days, which I still don’t know how you never met him, or Shoko.”
“I was antisocial, Suguru. It’s a miracle I even knew you.” A huff escaped you. “What’s he like?”
“He’s annoying, a bit of a narcissist-”
“Just like you then.” Getou made a face at you, leaning over you so you could see his face.
“He’s good at his job. Smart. Like freakishly so. He likes answering questions too, used to be a TA when we were in high school, so he’ll put up with all yours. You’re gonna love it with him, I promise! And if you don’t, then give it three months and I’ll pay him the 300k instead.”
“Fine…” the dollar amount clicked in your brain. “YOU BET ME FOR 300 THOUSAND DOLLARS?!”
__________
Your heels clicked against the polished wood flooring as you made your way from the Northwest corner office to Suguru’s office on the Southeastern side of the floor. Luckily, you wouldn’t be stuck down on the 53rd floor, where they put transfers. Gojo was clearly one of the best lawyers at the firm if he was taking a corner office, too.
It took you a few hours to get everything set up at your new desk and for IT to move your computer over. Truthfully, you could have done it faster without them, but rules and procedures were rules and procedures. The nice thing was that your desk was bigger now, with an elevated spot for your monitor and phone. Getou would be hearing from you after all of this to upgrade your desk with him.
Gojo wasn’t due to be back from a meeting with Mr. Trent Chow, an investment banker at a hedge fund the firm had been trying to get on the books for a few weeks now, until after lunch, which gave you enough time to go hear all the gossip from the other secretaries about him.
Gojo had worked in the States before, as well as in the UK. He was known for closing deals and was a self-described “winner.” He drank fine scotch and dated even finer women. Apparently, there was an issue in the Japanese branch, with a few ex-clients being barred from the premises after Gojo may or may not have slept with their wives. He was an excellent lawyer, but an egotistical person.
Halfway through your second coffee of the day, expertly crafted by the barista at the Cafe at the ground floor of the building who was hopelessly into you, a body leaned up against the top of your desk.
A tailored pinstripe navy suit by Brioni, a name-brand Italian leather watch by Patek Philippe, and a class ring with the same graduation year as Getou—it wasn’t hard to tell that it was an attorney leaning on your desk.
“So you’re the unlucky secretary sacrificed to Gojo,” she said in a raspy, low-toned voice.
You raised an eyebrow. “Is he that bad?”
“Oh, he’s not bad,” Shoko said with a smile. “He’s just... a lot.”
“How so?”
“He’s arrogant, obnoxious, and he has a terrible habit of flirting with every woman he meets,” Shoko said. “But he’s also one of the best attorneys I know. He’s brilliant, and he’s always prepared. So if you can handle his ego, you’ll be fine.”
“I think I can handle it,” you said with a smirk.
Shoko laughed. “I knew I was going to like you,” she said. “Shoko Ieri, senior partner.” She extended her hand.
You shook her hand. “Y/N,” you said. “Secretary extraordinaire.”
Shoko held your gaze for a moment. “I think we’re going to be a great team,” she said.
“How long have you been at the firm?” You asked her.
“Same amount of time as Getou and Gojo. We all graduated together and got put in the bullpen together, too. Gojo and I ended up back in Japan to help the transition after Masamishi became named partner.”
“Oh, so you went to Harvard as well?”
“Guilty. Still don’t know if it was worth it. You?”
“Harvard too. I was two years under your class and in the undergrad program.”
The chatter between you and Shoko continued for a while, only stopping as Gojo rounded the corner.
6’3” with platinum blonde hair, more akin to white, swept back and styled, only disrupted by a pair of sunglasses perched on top of his head, that was perfectly coiffed, without a single strand out of place. His skin was pale and flawless, and his cheekbones were sharp and defined. His nose was straight and angular, and his lips were full and sensual.
He wore a tailored three-piece black suit with a maroon tie hanging undone, revealing a glimpse of his toned chest. The top two buttons of his white button-down shirt were undone, showcasing his strong jawline.
His gait was confident and unhurried. He walked like he owned the place, with his head held high and his shoulders back. His demeanour was polished and sophisticated, and he had a natural elegance that seemed effortless. There was an air of authority about him, a sense that he was accustomed to being in charge. He came from a long line of judges, attorneys, and government officials both in the USA and Japan, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he actually felt that way. He was born into it all.
When he reached your desk, he placed a few manilla folders on top of it. Given his reputation, it was easy to guess it was Trent Chow signing on to the firm. You could smell him now that he was closer, and he smelt good. Clary sage wrapped up with pear and bergamot, cushioned by amber and patchouli. He smelt as expensive as he dressed.
“You must be my new secretary.” He smiled, one side going up higher than the other revealing a sharp canine. “Gojo Satoru, best closer in the city and your new boss, though I guess it’s the other way around here. Anyway! Come into my office, let’s talk.”
To say his office was impressive was an understatement. It was a corner facing unit overlooking the expanse of the city. The interior was well decorated, but stilly minimal. A wall of records and books filled with a range of media and titles from the early 1900s to now. His desk was sleek, ornate but not overstated, with the latest generation MacBook idling on it. Two tub chairs sat facing the desk, both at an angle so that the person sitting in it would have to look at Gojo.
Towards the south-facing window was a more expensive version of an IKEA Kallax unit, lined with sport memorabilia and signed basketballs. A few feet away from it was a sitting area. A brown leather couch draped with throw facing a metal and glass coffee table flanked by two dark grey Herman Miller Chadwick modular chairs. On the table was a neatly organised stack of the times layered between sport magazines, and a lit candle filling the room with a rainy cedar smell like a mountain forest in spring.
The most impressive thing might have been that he had the entire office set up for his first day.
Gojo sat down in his office chair and gave a full 360 spin before facing you, propping his chin on his left hand and he leaned forward against the desk and the right removed the sunglasses from his head and placed them down neatly.
Being this close, you could see his eyes for all that they were. They were strangely unnerving, an endless expanse that felt like he wasn’t seeing you, but through you instead. As if under his gaze, lay all your little habits and transgressions bare for him to observe.
He stared at you for what felt like an hour before speaking.
“Sugu told me you were the best. Kept him organised. Helped him manage the litigation of 405 Holdings, created curated lists of clients with detailed information on their likes and dislikes for him to improve relationships with them, and said your view on legal proceedings was better than a fifth year associate,” He dropped his hand and leaned back in his chair “but he didn’t tell me you were gorgeous.”
There was the notorious flirting they had warned you of.
“Mr. Gojo-”
“Please, Satoru’s fine.”
“Satoru,” you corrected, leaning against the armrest of the chair “You’ve got a meeting with Orlando Smitt from Smitt & Sons Petroleum at 2:00 at Le Pavillion, expect for it to take two and half hours as he likes to chat. After that you’ve got a meeting on the Park Holdings case with Suguru, followed by a dinner with Laurence Hill, a potential client in the automotive manufacturing industry with an estimated company value of $1.7 billion, and I’m to remind you that Masamichi wants a copy of your brief on the Trust Development case on his desk by nine tomorrow or your on the next pro Bono case which, I’ve been told, is housing court.”
You rose, leaning over his desk with a hand spread across it “And yes, I am gorgeous, but you think a little sweet talk is all it’s going to take to get me to even have the slightest amount of interest in you?”
Spinning on your heel, you sauntered towards the door, opening it while looking over your shoulder at him
“Oh, and Mr. Smitt is allergic to shellfish.”

Okay. so. basic breakdown of the dragonfrost au goes as such.
You have Tango, a young adult dragon (young in dragon years, not mortal years) who lives in the deepfrost citadel-- or more specifically, below it. his hoard is below the burning dark, in a room that takes puzzles to get to. (think the control room puzzle).
He likes people, but has that dragon lifespan and semi-alien morals due to being. well. a heckkin dragon. He's lawful good, and while he doesn't seek out 'bad' people to do vengeance, he will test and judge and 'play' with anyone he comes across. He believes that adventurers are primarily greedy and selfish and will do anything for their own gain. proven time and time again by people trying to steal his hoard. No one has succeeded. ever.
The he visits the village at the bottom of the mountain a lot, and sees it as part of his 'domain' and under his protection. Mostly cause the people there are nice to him and just people trying to live and be good people, yah know? They have the Tango stamp of approval. The people there know 'Tango' as a odd wanderer who is the only one to survive going up to the Citadel, for some reason. They know there's something up there, and while some people suspect it's a dragon, but other people think it's other things, and what do they gain by angering whatever it is? Tango knows more than he lets on, surely. He's gotta be like, a spokesperson for the dragon or something.
Anyway. Jimmy is a canary Avian, and the little scraplet i wrote is more of a prologue-ish bit. Jimmy has a slight magic that lets him sense immediate danger, but the troupe he adventures with always underestimated him and never trusted his danger-sense. He was traveling with them because his family ended up in debt to some powerful people. He was the one who took it upon himself to work off as much of the family debt as he could manage, and as such-- adventurer. He sorta acts like 'the party npc' a lil bit. Jimmy isn't really a fighter, and is instead more useful for his connections and survival knowledge.
Jimmy caught Tango's eye because of his golden feathers and his danger sense magic and his high perception and insight. he also, after getting to know Jimmy more, despite his mistrust, and ends up convinced that the rest of the troupe is standard adventurer fair-- not worth much more than food for his dungeon. But he let them get all the way to the hoard as a test for Jimmy, and Jimmy passed. Tango murdered all the rest of the troupe, and took Jimmy as part of his hoard.
Because of this, Jimmy is now 'warlock', and Tango is his patron. It took a long while for Jimmy to sorta-- get over the murder thing. but that's fine! Tango's dragon magic, when forged through a warlock-patron connection, lets him slow Jimmy's aging, as well as give him other magic powers too. It wouldn't do to lose the only good adventurer he's ever met, after all.
After Jimmy finally comes around to being Tango's-- something. Friend? Ward? Treasure? Something. Whatever it is. Jimmy takes on a similar role to Tango. They take care of the town, and the citadel, and if any adventurers come by, Jimmy takes on the guise of being their guide. He whistles to Tango each night, telling songs of how he's being treated. If they don't treat Jimmy right, they get to be dungeon food. If they keep Jimmy safe and listen to his instructions all the way through the dungeon to the hoard, and only take what they truly need of the treasure, for good reasons, they get the chance to leave alive. But they have to get out on their own. Most people never do. But some do.
It brings stories of glory and treasure, attracting more adventurers, more players for the game. More business for the village. Tango changes the games and puzzles, keeping it forever new and challenging, but he never collects any more warlocks. he offers it, to a select few he's deemed as good as Jimmy, but none of them take it. Yet. Most of them have family to get back to, people they need to save. (like Jimmy did, once.) (They're surely all dead by now.) (He's lived for so, so long. Tango is the only one who knows him anymore. (The least he can do is soften Tango's edges for everyone else.) (Jimmy might be a canary in a cage but he can sing to protect the miners, right?)
It's fine. The village is thriving, and the adventurers get a chance, at least.

The Law of Assumption Simplified
Tumblr media
“Hello, you’ve reached the hottie hotline! today’s topic is the ‘Law of Assumption’, hope you enjoy!”
The law of assumption isn’t as difficult nor as shakespearean, as anyone makes it. Trust me babe, I’ve watched and read my fair share of law of assumption content. I’ve searched for the “Secret” of it all, and i’m here to spill the juicy details too! 
So, to start this off all methods work. Every. Method. Works. Bottomline. End of story. 
When people say “Feeling” is the secret; they’re talking about the feeling of knowing it’s yours. Now as I've said, all methods work! You also have to believe the method/s you’re using works/ identify with it. I know you’re reading this and thinking, “Okay, girl. How do I do it?”. Don’t worry, I’m gonna get there <3 
Decide what you want!
Be as specific as you want to be if you feel you need to be. Even if you’re not, your subconscious knows exactly what you desire! You can manifest anything. Remember: This is your life, you write the Script!! Example; “I want a buggati” or “I want to be 6’5”.”  Everything around you is something you’ve already assumed, you’re doing it all the time even when you’re not aware of it.
Side Note: Any trauma you have experienced isn’t because you manifested it. I’m so so sorry you went through that, you didn’t deserve it.
Know that it’s yours!
Now, what do I mean by this. It’s yours simply because you decided it is, congratulations babe! It’s already yours babe. Yes, this may be difficult at first. That’s why you can use affirmations, and repeat them anytime you feel doubt/worry. Repeat your affirmations consistently, yes it’s normal that they feel unnatural at first but continue to say them and they’ll become natural to you!
Persist. Persist. Persist!
How do I persist? Keep reminding yourself that it’s yours, no matter what 3D (outside) reflects. Your only “true reality” is your imagination.
Some tools I find helpful include; Affirmations, Scripting, Visualisation, Imagination. If you want you can just use affirmations. I persist by affirming that it’s already mine, and that everything works out for me regardless of anything! There’s an app called parrot, that is very useful for this so you can just listen to your affs on repeat with a timer. I personally listen when I first wake up, and when I’m going to be sleep. Stay consistent with your affirmation; use a set amount of affirmations and stick to them. stop changing them before they have time to actually work!
That’s it. “Feeling” is the believing it’s yours!
Other Notes;
Stay disciplined & consistent with your affirmations. In other words do them frequently!
stay consistent with what you want, you can want more than one thing. However what I mean by this is; saying you want a Lamborghini, then changing it multiple times. In other words; Know exactly what you want & STICK TO IT!
Best people I reccommend: Neville Goddard & Edward Art
Thank you for calling the hottie hotline!

Kalim in RSA (and I get off-topic)
Spoilers for Book 4 and 5 (im sorry jamil enjoyers. but im so biased towards kalim its not even funny)
(this spiraled into me talking all about kalim in the actual game so oops)
imagine how different the story would be if kalim was in RSA
and we just hear from jamil about these snippets about his 'master' (although itd be weird they'd be separated if jamil tended to him often to where he'd prob be like his personal servant? idk what situation would have jamil talk to us anyway but yknow maybe we get close, he's like the other friend who seems cool? he'll basically help us out with knowledge about things, fleshing out the world a bit more, as the only sophomore in the group cause he kind of feels responsible maybe? then BETRAYAL)
and then eventually partway through the school year KALIM IS THERE (we know why though) and he somehow ends up housewarden.
i have a dislike against RSA. its very petty and its kind of because they keep winning (and they dont even mean ill intent which is worse! …but its kind of like kalims kindness. and i like kalim but that might make me biased. SO. thus the existence of this.)
we probably wouldnt like him much right? (and i imagine he'd get his fair share of bullies. we find this out. he laughs it off like 'nah, im used to attempted assassinations and everything. this isnt nearly as bad.')
(id do the clapping between but ppl get annoyed, and i get annoyed) CUE KALIM BEING MORE THAN SMILES AND WE LEARN THAT ABOUT HIM !!
HES aware enough that he can cook food good using JUST magic (which takes precision to use it as good or even better than your hands right??. its in his labwear vignette. ruggies teaching him ofc so ruggie wants it to be good cause hes taking leftovers, BUT CMOONNN he can learn. ..and yeah it took a few years for jamil to teach kalim antidotes to common poisons so he could do it easy but kalims hardly a master at making potions so i call that good)
AND in book 5 he noticed vil had like the same look as jamil to where he knew something was going to go wrong (aka the poisoning)
maybe its to show how much kalim doesnt belong in NRC and thats why they dont pull the 'more than he looks at first glance' like cater with glimpses in vignettes and etc
but like COME ON.
the sultan might be dumb (i recently re-watched aladdin) but at least he knew enough that he didnt want jafar marrying his daughter cause hes OLD and also he doesnt want to force jasmine into anything (good intentions. im sure if they just waited and she didnt find a suitor in time he would've just CHANGED THE LAW like he did IN THE MOVIE because he wants her to be happy!)
ALSo he tried to look through the law jafar claimed to say that would make her have to be married to the vizier or whatever (aka jafar) but then jafar just pulled it away before he could (and then attempted to mind control him when he refused) mans was prepared to spend hours reading over it even if he didnt understand it but he wasnt given the chance
also kalim is worryingly nonchalant about stuff. i mean. you can get used to horrible things to where they just feel so normal and uninmportant i guess? but poor bby. hes been like 'i want to keep myself alive because if i die then someone else will get punished.' or like about poisoning, if someone has a change of mind and hes already dead, then he cant do something to help them, so he has to make sure he'll live.
..i really doubt that hes just. so oblivious. maybe in denial, but still.
anyway i got very off topic. my bad. and to be fair we do get to see more of him at some parts. but hhh
okay listen. denial. (i am also a believer that if when kalim confronted jamil, if he said he didnt do anything kalim wouldve believed him. bruh gave him excuses like '..i just got tired, right?')
"The real Jamil would never do such things! He's a good guy. He's always helping me, giving me a shoulder to lean on, and—" (Book 4 • Chapter 33)
we just. dont see him really crumble?? he just. keeps being optimistic
we convince him jamil is bad. he resolves to punch him for being a traitor and THATS IT?
he sobs at the end of jamils overblot but then he goes back to being optimistic like 'lets be equals!' (..it feels like he didnt really learn much though as he's still 'I didn't notice--' 'I--' and i wish he couldve gotten more awareness. cause he makes it about himself yknow and blaming himself but COME ON put some blame on jamil PLEASE? or like. ANYONE ELSE. you also cant notice shit if no one ever tells you about it that you dont even know to look for it! he doesnt want to be cautious about who he can trust so like, why would he think to doubt the person who hes known his entire life??? especially if its something that was just always there that it feels natural, how could he know better? hes sheltered! so someone shouldve explained it to him, made him realize things! aghhh)
heres the book 5 one btw
"I got a real bad feeling when I saw the look on your face after Neige's rehearsal. It was practically the same look I saw on Jamil's face when he lost control of himself over holiday break." (Book 5 • Chapter 62)
And I mean maybe he did learn in that he's more aware of this now than others because he knows what people could look like because of Jamil, but I feel like a lot of things were just so unsaid. That the first time blindsided him, but now he's kind of a little more worried about something happening while he's there that he didn't notice so now he's trying to notice things more??? Or like maybe having gut feelings that he'd ignored before because it was Jamil but now knowing better?
So he can be aware. but then the rest of the time he's just thought of as dumb or an idiot or forgetful and it just makes me sad. and i mean i get that he wants to see the best in people but we never really talk about how its more that its denial. a refusal to see it, and i want to understand why
or maybe its because he sees the good in people that he trusts they'll do the right thing. or he believes that the good outweigh the bad (although i dont know if it'd be the same case if it was someone he knew who got hurt)
like. okay back in book 5
"Besides, I would bet there isn't a single person in Scarabia who hasn't gotten help from Jamil at some point. Am I right?"
"See? There you go. He's been a model vice housewarden. In fact, he's put me to shame. He let dark thoughts get the better of him for a brief time. Other than that, he's a perfectly capable guy." (Book 5 • Chapter 10)
He justifies it with that Jamil isn't the only one to blame (he also blames himself), and that Jamil hadn't done anything wrong before then
which. AGAIn. means that in his eyes the good outweigh the bad. jamils better at his duties so jamil should stay as vice housewarden.
this was the first time jamil did anything bad so it'd be fine, it was just an error in judgment
AGHHh
nothing about the fact that his closest friend he views as a brother
"He's grown up with Jamil since a young age, and considers him a brother in all but blood." (from the In-game Album)
who would be the last person he'd expect to do such a thing BETRAYS HIM, planning to make everyone (or well just the people in scarabia) turn against him
like. that has to be a shock right??? AND THEN HE JUST. welcomes him back into his life like it was nothing im just. kALIM. SWEETIE.
and i mean i get its for the best since if anyone knew what actually happened anything could happen to jamil (and jamil has his own reasons i get that but this is about kalim)
but he still hangs around him. has him as his aide. so while something did change, it also feels like nothing changed at the same time.
"I'm always chosen. Always. That's such an obvious truth that I never even consciously processed it. But now I see that was only possible because of Jamil's constant sacrifices. He created that "truth" in my mind by always holding back. By always letting me win. ...It stings. "Galling" doesn't even begin to describe it." (Book 5 • Chapter 30)
also like one of the very few times he expresses how he feels about something (how it hurts not to be chosen for the first time, and/or that he was only chosen because of someone else so he wants to work hard)
and then grim shuts him down with "You wanna talk about galling? Imagine how I feel not even makin' the cut for the audition to start with."
like. COME ON.
Kalim responds with, "Ah, you're right. My bad! I didn't mean to rub it in. Goodness, there I go again! I'm super sorry, honest."
and yeah it can seem kind of spoiled but also. its probably because of that that he doesnt want to share his troubles because he's very privileged so it feels like he might not deserve to act like its anything when everyone else has to work so much harder, right?
AND ITS JUST. REAFFIRMING TO HIM THAT his troubles are nothing compared to anyone elses and im just aghhauihduadhw
he also cares a lot about other people (people like him as housewarden because he listens to their troubles and supports them) so i just. want him to be able to take a moment to care about himself and just admit these things that he usually doesnt get the chance to.
i got a lot more worked up than i meant to
