“.. It looks like a ring.”
Such words slipped out without much hesitance nor filtering. Where Kishiar’s teeth grazed definitely looked like one though, circling the entirety of the base of his ring finger, the unique asymmetrical shape of a bite mark, reddened against the skin.
“Doesn’t it?” The man easily responded, laughing. His red eyes gazed on the hand, marred with the memories of fights and experiences of training piled up on each inch, as he murmured. “The assistant’s hands have always been pretty, but I think.. it looks even better like this.”

Base + Superstition
for @schittscreekdrabbleblog
David eyed Patrick’s open umbrella draining in their mudroom.
“Are you trying to curse our new home?”
“What? Ooooh.” Understanding dawned. “I can fix that,” Patrick said dropping to his knees and unzipping David’s fly.
“Not to complain but how is this helping?”
“If I’m gonna reverse the curse by knocking on wood, I need to coax the wood out first.”
“I believe the superstition is actually knock twice on wood.”
Patrick laughed. “That can be arranged,” he said before swallowing David’s cock down to the base, knocking the back of his throat.
David moaned blissfully.
The umbrella sat forgotten.

🌈 and 💝 for the fic asks?
Btw I saw you posted more OC fic fairly recently and I wanted to say I love your characters! I haven’t been able to read them yet but your fics are some of my favorites on snzblr 💕
THANK YOU!! That's so kind of you to say!! I'm really happy you like them 😭❤️ I've had a lot of fun writing Y/V recently, which I feel grateful for, because before that I put writing aside for a long time 🥹
🌈is there a fic that you worked *really fucking hard on* that no one would ever know? maybe a scene/theme you struggled with?
I am an excruciatingly slow writer, just in general, over almost every fic. The other day I was doing a writing sprint and I wrote 9 words over the entirety of the 10 minute sprint 😭.
That said, something that took me unusually long was Fool Me Twice, Part 5. I actually rewrote it from scratch many many times (and I don't think this is like, "I worked really hard on this and I'm proud of how it turned out!" - it's more of, "I worked really hard on this to even get it to be moderately passable", haha). (I have more to add as to why I found it so difficult, but will add it in the tags)
Something that I'm happier with is Not Worth the Trouble, which remains one of the 3 fics from this blog that I've vanilla-ified and crossposted to ao3 :'). I wrote the last third of the fic very slowly, but it just took one long afternoon (and no further major + painstaking revisions). I've written no shortage of Kaeya + Diluc on here, but this is probably one of my favorite fics I've written of them!
💝what is a fic that got a different response than you were expecting?
Not exactly a fic, but I was actually very surprised at the reception when I posted these unfinished fic snippets / WIPs awhile back (in August 2021). They're very short, so I wasn't expecting for them to leave much of an impression :') That said, I had a couple anons who came into my inbox with super, super kind feedback (which is still sitting in my inbox to this date - I'm terrible, I know, but on the super off chance that one of those anons is reading this, I have reread your kind feedback so many times 😭 Your comments still bring me happiness more than 2 years later! Thank you for encouraging me to finish those works!! I love you!)

Not that I want to stress you… buut I am completely burned out and still have 4 more exams to suffer thru…
So: is there any chance for sneak peak? 🫣🫠😂😅
Mrs Plump chose that instant to interrupt. Her low mew as she approached him sounded sad, so Severus took a moment to scratch her behind the ears. The weight on his chest eased a bit.
“So what if they reckon I’m a whole lotta work. I don’t care. Don’t need ‘em,” he replied in an equally quiet albeit far more furious whisper.
At this rate, I feel like I'm gonna share the whole chapter before it's ready, but it seems we could both use some Mrs Plump comfort right now, so here you go. Take care, treat yourself to some nice food and good luck with your exams!

Sicktember #6
Prompt #6: Sick on Vacation
Fandom: Black Sails
Title: Inland
Summary: Slight pre-canon AU setting. Thomas takes James for a weekend holiday to the countryside. The cold James brings with him doesn’t prove nearly as disastrous as he had feared.
Half a step behind Thomas, James waded through the sea of wild grass and flowers as they roved in search of a place on the Hamilton estate to pass the sunny afternoon while Miranda was out riding. Thomas had taken them all to the country estate for the weekend, claiming the clear air would be a salve for the stress they were all under, but as James fought to stifle his umpteenth sneeze of the morning, he couldn’t help but wonder if the change of scenery really was so good for a man like him after all.
Thomas glanced at him over his shoulder, brow furrowed, fixing James with precisely the type of expression he had been seeking to avoid. He shifted the book that was tucked under his arm. “You’ve been sneezing quite a bit since we arrived this morning. Are the flowers bothering you?”
For a moment, James considered lying and claiming that yes, the bluebells that swept against their ankles as they walked were the cause of his trouble, but then Thomas would turn them around and march them back inside, and really there was nothing more that James wanted than to lounge in a sunny field at his lover’s side. So James mumbled offhandedly, the verbal equivalent of casting off a fly.
“No, just a bit of a chill.”
Still, Thomas paused midstep. “But it’s warm.”
“Not that kind of chill.” James sighed; he knew Thomas was being deliberately obtuse. “It’s–Ihhh’tchh!”
“So you mean to say you’re ill, then.”
He frowned at the accusing tone. “A little headcold, Thomas. It’s nothing at all.” Naturally, his nose chose that moment to bend him double, scrambling for his handkerchief like a soldier scrambles for refuge in battle. “Heh’RSHH! Ehh’KSHHH! Ehhh’hehhh’TSHHHHH’uhh!”
“Little,” Thomas said, in that infernally smug and simple way he had that made James want to punch him and fuck him in equal parts. In any case, James was too occupied by his snuffles and blows to do either at the present moment. Thomas pointed. “We’ll sit here, by the tree once you’re finished.”
They went to the tree, a young oak by the looks of it, and James leaned against the ragged bark of its trunk while Thomas set his book on the grass and splayed out his gangly limbs. He watched James with a critical eye, gaze roving over every inch of his body in a way that was more clinically astute than erotic. James rolled his eyes.
“I haven’t been this far inland since…” James began, and shook his head. “Well, I haven’t been this far inland. I don’t think my constitution can h-handle it. Heh’TSSHoo!”
Thomas patted the shoulder toward which James had not directed his sneeze. “Come now, I’m no physician, but even I can tell you the body does not work that way.”
“It’s true, Thomas. I’m like a fish. Take me out of sight of the water and my insides start to dry out. Ihh’RSHH’uhh! Heh’NGSHH!”
“It sounds like the best thing for you at the moment would be for your insides to dry out a bit. Here, take my handkerchief.” Thomas took a neat, embroidered cloth square from his breast pocket and handed it to James with a coy smile. “I’m no military man, either, but I can tell when backup is necessary.”
James glared at him, but the current state of his nose gave him no choice but to accept it. His guard down, Thomas seized the opportunity to rest a palm against his forehead.
James’s glare darkened. “Thomas.”
“James.”
“It’s honestly nothing,” he said, shaking Thomas’s hand free. “I hardly even feel bad. Even less so since all I have to do is laze around here with you.”
Thomas smiled. “With me?”
James looked away, feeling his cheeks color, and grumbled, “It helps.”
Thomas took to his book after that, lying on his side and looking so very satisfied that every inch of him was radiant with it. James had, stupidly, forgotten to bring a book for himself from the country house when they had set out on this walk, and though he knew Thomas would happily read to him if asked, he was secretly glad of the opportunity to do nothing but sit and watch his lover in the quiet. Of course, though, with James’s cold, the quiet did not remain so for long, and though Thomas could ignore a few little sniffles and throat clearings, the coughing fit that seized James absolutely could not be ignored.
“You’re in no shape for me to give you a riding lesson today, and likely not for the rest of the weekend.” James’s inhale snagged again and he bent over coughing once more, Thomas rubbing circles on his back soothingly. “There, there, no need to be so broken up about it.”
“I’m coughing because if I don’t I’ll cry,” he choked out sardonically between coughs. Once he had caught his breath again, he fixed Thomas with a genuinely contrite expression. “I’m sorry, I know you were looking forward to teaching me.”
“I was looking forward to spending time with you, James.” Thomas cupped his cheek, rubbing his thumb across the bone beneath his eye. “If that means we spend the better part of seventy-two hours lying beneath this tree, or in bed, or wherever, so be it.” A sudden, devilish look took hold of his features, and a grin spread across his cheeks long and wide. He leaned forward, breath coming hot against James’s lips.
“As long as no one can see us, so I can do this.”
He pressed their lips together, long and hard, and James fell into the kiss before he could stop himself. When at last he could make himself pull away, he gave a half-hearted groan. “Mmm, you’ll catch my cold doing that.”
“Is that so?” Thomas said teasingly, and before James could blink, the man was on his knees, straddling him. His fingers found the tie on James’s cravat easily. “Then I suppose there’s no point keeping our distance any longer.”
