A Promise Kept
Tumblr media
A Tech x reader one shot where everything is fine! We're all fine!
WC: 5.2k
CW: Canon typical violence, descriptions of injuries, drug usage, blissful ignorance of physics and canon deviation. Angst, hurt comfort, fluff, all the good stuff
Summary: What am I if not a clone lover. A fix-it fic made for my irl bestie @scoobydoobydaisy, consider this your late birthday present. Thinking of all my fellow Tech girls who want to live in the world where he’s ok. Welcome! You’ve made it! This is my first time writing for tbb and for Tech, so I’m still working out the kinks, but I’m happy with it. Also if anyone tries to say anything about the survivability of that fall I’m ignoring it let me live in delusion.
(also i live in the reality where this fanart by papanowo is how Tech’s hair looks always because I swear to god I saw this and it changed my life.)
((also I prommy I'm working on the new chapter of BCS, I accidentally got inspired to write chapter 14 so I did that instead oopsie, but if it's any consolation, we've got like 9 more chapters at least of that to go!))
The quiet was what consumed you at first, the lack of chatter and softer clinking of glasses. Then it was the smells, in a broad sense the defining scent of Mantell Mix but, in a more intimate way it was the smell of the grease after he would repair the Marauder, or the fresh, clean scent of his skin in the rare moments you would lean past him when collecting the Batch’s glassware at the bar. No, when the Batch left Cid’s it was him being gone that consumed you, that Tech, your Tech in every way but reality, had left with his team in pursuit of something better and left you behind. You wondered often if they thought of you, if he thought of you, if he regretted leaving you here to clean up their mess. I would never leave him, you thought to yourself in those weeks, sweeping up glass or dealing with one of Cid’s moods. You couldn’t really blame them, you’d been at this bar long before the Batch showed up, and evidently you’d be here long after.
It’s why you’re surprised by a ping on your personal comm, tucked dutifully in the pocket of your apron, while you’re serving a drink to a tired looking Togruta. The bar isn’t packed, it never is, and you pat the pocket of your apron before looking at Cid, “I’m going to smoke, I’ll be back.”
The Trandoshan waved you off immediately, knowing full well about your recent cigarra habit, something you had attributed to the stress of the last few weeks. You slipped out the back entrance, standing in the dimly lit back alley behind the bar, leaning closer to your comm and also fumbling with the carton of cigarras, searching equally hard for your lighter. The familiar sound of the light coaxed your caller out of his silence, breaking the quiet with a long sigh.
“I thought I had adequately warned you about the dangers and symptoms of smoking.” Tech murmurs through the line, and if you squint in your mind you can practically see the disappointment on his face.
“I thought I told you not to go too far.”
“Ah. Yes. To be fair, I had assumed we were speaking in metaphor.”
You flick the ash off the end before bringing it back to your mouth to breathe. “I waited for you, you know.”
“You didn’t have to-”
“No, I know I didn’t. I wanted to. I wanted to believe you wouldn’t leave me without saying goodbye.”
“At the time I didn’t know it was goodbye, otherwise I would’ve left so few things unsaid.” There’s a clatter in the background of his message that makes your heart jump. The sound of things being loaded onto a ship, a ramp being raised. Hunter’s voice yelling, mild panic.
“You’re going somewhere?”
He takes a beat to answer, you can hear Wrecker get Omega settled and the sound of movement. He’s walking, you gather, from the way the sound rustles through the comm. Suddenly it’s clearer, and you only hear his voice and the distant sound of waves crashing. “I am.”
“So that's why you called? To not leave things unsaid?”
“I think, if I have deciphered you correctly, you would like it here. You’d fit in, I think”
“So you think you know me now?”
“I think you and I both know that I do. Just as well as you know me.” There’s that beat again, though this one rings of uncertainty. “Unless I misinterpreted something.”
“You haven’t” your words rush out in a whisper, cigarra nearly finished. “Misinterpreted I mean. You never have.”
“I- I have some things, I want you to know-” Then it's Wrecker, you can tell by the wait of the step over the comm, and he’s calling for Tech and the engines of the Marauder are firing. “We were going to come back for you. I was going to come back for you. That has always been my plan.”
“Tech, why does this sound like goodbye?”
“I was always going to come back for you.”
The line ends with a definitive click, and a moment later the last ash is on the sidewalk and your break is over. You tuck the com and the pack back into your apron, swipe at a few stray tears you hadn’t realized had slipped down your cheek, then head back into the bar, the only remnant of your confession the butt of a cigarra melting in a puddle out back.
* * *
“They’re coming back.” Cid practically spits as she walks by you while you clean glasses. “They walk out on me and now this? They just want to come back? I don’t think so.”
There’s a pit in your stomach now, a feeling of guilt and panic. Cid knows you were close with the team, but does she know how close? Are they actually coming back, and putting themselves in danger over you? “Did they say why?”
“No. It was bandana who called. Sounded down. Someone’s gotta be hurt, no reason they’d be coming back otherwise.”
The pit grows, and you instinctively feel for where your comm is. You hadn’t missed a call, you’re sure of it. Your mind spins with the possibilities. Why was Tech not the one to call? You set the glass down as carefully as you can manage and turn to face Cid. “What are you going to do?”
She looks at the ground before rubbing the back of her neck. “Look, kid, we’ve been in a tight spot these past few months with them being here. You know this, I know this.” She moves to grab your hand, “You don’t do all that well with the empire, I know. Maybe just, go home now. Before it gets worse here, ok?”
Your eyes widen with the implication of her words and you nod before turning to walk out the door, grabbing your bag from the shelf by the bar and careful to be out of the door frame before making a sprint towards the docking bay, hoping to get to them before they land. You’re calling Tech and you’re met with nothing but static, at least reassuring you that that is why he hasn’t called to alert you. “Tech, Tech if you can hear me, it’s a trap, don’t come to Cid’s, I’m going to go to the Marauder. I’m going to see you soon, ok?”
Wrecker is the first to disembark, and he nearly runs you over at the speed he walks off the ship. “Wreck, hey, it's me, you can’t go to Cid’s.” You sputter out as fast as possible before he looks down at you, eyes wide and crazed.
Hunter hears you and bolts out, walking towards you as Wrecker backs away slowly, shaking his head. “I can’t. Hunter I can’t you have to tell her.”
You look at the tattooed clone blinking wildly, “You, you’re not listening to me. You can’t go to Cid’s something is wrong.”
“I need to talk to you.”
“Clearly we need to talk Hunter because I still haven’t forgiven you all for abandoning me here, but you have to listen to me, you can’t go-”
“It’s Tech.”
The words have their desired effect of turning everything in your mind into stone as you register Echo quietly shifting to do repairs on the outside of the Marauder and Omega’s tear streaked fast as she all but flies past you to catch up with Wrecker. “What do you mean?”
“He- he’s gone, he,” he runs a hand through his hair before bringing it to the bridge of his nose and shaking his head, “Kriffing Tech said he had it figured out, and he sacrificed himself for us, for the squad.” He looks back at Echo, whose shoulders are tight as he works on Tech’s ship. “He wanted to make sure you were cared for, I know you’ve got a ship and I could’ve sent coordinates but Wrecker insisted we land. And I thought I should tell you in person.” He puts an arm on your shoulder and guides you towards the bay he knows your ship is in, away from Echo and through the winding corridors of the docks. 
You’re moving, but you really aren’t. You’re numb to it all, the situation, the words. The reality of this hasn’t even begun to set in yet. Hunter knows, he always knows, and remains quiet until you get to your ship, a small but fast freighter from your days as a runner off of Corellia. “Why did you let him?”
“He made his choice, and we have to use it to secure our future.”
“Did you… did you find him? Can I say goodbye?”
Hunter runs a hand through his hair, “we didn’t exactly have time to go back for him.”
“So you left him?” You don’t hide the anger, the bitterness in your voice that rises like bile as you look to glare at your friend. “He could be alive.”
“He fell hundreds of feet and was followed by a railcar. I figured I would spare you the image because I don’t know how I’m supposed to sleep now having seen it.” He sighs as you tense and your eyes go wide. “I’m sorry. We did everything we could.”
You nod, tears now actively spilling over as you blink and shake your head. “You have to tell me what system you were on.”
“I am not letting you do something stupid, do not make me disrespect his wish like that.”
“Hunter, I have to try.”
“There is nothing you can do.”
“Do not look at me and tell me there is nothing I can do until I am lying dead at your feet,” you nearly spit at him, tears now burning down your cheeks as he groans, “he promised me he would always come back for me, I am not going to deny him the same thing.”
He looks back at Echo working on the ship and chews on his lip, debating in his mind how many deaths he wants on his hands. “If I give you these coordinates, you need to promise to not engage with any of the imperials.”
“Unless they shoot me first.”
“Unless they shoot you first. You need to fly low, and make sure your cloaking is on at all times.” He takes the datapad out of your bag and punches in three sets of numbers. “The first is the system coordinates, the second is the crash site. You cannot stay there long, most of the imperials have probably fled after the attack-”
“Attack?”
“I’ll explain later,” he huffs. “The third is the rendezvous point. Whatever the outcome, meet us there, if you want. He’s right, we shouldn’t have left you. You’re a part of this squad.” He grabs your shoulder and gives it a squeeze before walking towards the direction of Echo. “I get why he loves you, you’re both so stubborn.”
You leave in a hurry, running onto your ship with just your bag and punching in the coordinates. You leave in such a hurry, in fact, that you don’t think until it’s too late that you’ve neglected to remind Hunter of the reason you ran to them in the first place.
* * *
It’s this supposed love that has you speaking into your comm while you travel through hyperspace. You’re greeted by nothing other than static, but you talk. You tell him stories, you tell him about your day. You talk about the regulars at Cid’s, about the first time you smoked. You tell him about your parents, about your home planet, how you got to Corellia. “I want you to know everything about me the way that you know everything about everything. And I think I was afraid to tell you everything because not everything is good. But I think that’s ok. And I promise, when I find you, I’ll give you everything, all of me. The good and the bad,” you sniff, “even if I smell like fumes and my lungs give out because I have a bad habit” you laugh into the comm. “I have more to say, but I think I’d rather tell you when I get there.”
Eriadu is bitterly cold and dotted with peaks of mountains stretching up and above the cloud line. Getting past the security team isn’t difficult, you can tell they’re scrambling to recover from the attack and both expecting support and medic ships, so it doesn’t take much to convince them that you’re a dispatched supplies shuttle. You fly low enough to stay out of their radar, and scour the mountain tops and trees for signs of the wreckage as you get closer to the coordinates Hunter provided. There’s a spot between the trees for you to tuck your ship, and you grab the warmest jacket you have onboard, your blaster, and your vibroblade before setting out on foot.
The air feels still, but when you pause you can hear the sounds of troopers in the distance and shuttles overheard. Nothing entirely threatening, but a bitter reminder of why you’re here in the first place. You’ve taken to talking to Tech again, hoping to hear the buzz of your voice back as you walk through this forest in the vague destination of his demise. “I’ve stopped crying,” you murmur into your comm, twigs crunching between your boots, grateful to past you for opting out of the heeled shoes you normally wear on a busy night at the bar. “I just have decided to believe that you’re here, and I’m going to find you. And I figured you’d say something about the waste of water and the threat of dehydration.” You push past the brush and step over some rocks as you begin to hit a more rocky terrain. “It’s really cold here, you know. I don’t really like the cold. Or rocks. You’re lucky I enjoy your company-”
“Freeze!” The sound of a modulated voice stops you in your tracks, and you turn slowly with your hands in the air, facing a singular trooper with his blaster aimed at your torso. “Who are you? What are you doing here?” He uses his blaster to gesture to the comm in your hand, “Who are you talking to?”
“I’m sorry, I’m lost, our ship wrecked and I’ve been wandering these woods since yesterday, I’m trying to find my husband.” You shake your hand, trying to indicate the comm. The body language of the trooper shifts, you can tell he’s trying to decide if he’s going to believe you, so you bring the tears you’ve been fighting back up. “Please, please I need help, we have a daughter, she’s off-world with her uncle. We need to get home to her, please I can’t find my husband.” 
He shifts again, and moves to lower his blaster and walks towards you, “Okay, ma’am, I don’t know how you crashed here, but this is imperial property, and it’s highly classified, I’ll need to take you in for questioning.” He steps close to you now, too close, and he underestimates you. 
You sigh in mock appreciation while you pull the vibroblade off your hip, pushing it into the exposed portion between the chestplate and pauldron of his shoulder. He yelps and drops the blaster, and you pull your own out from the holster, holding it up to his head. “I’m very appreciative for your help. Now, let’s not make any sudden movements, shall we?” The trooper musters a pained nod as you back away, picking up the dropped blaster and tucking it on your belt. “I need info on a crash site, and I need you to tell me where it is.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, you’re the one that crashed here.”
You’re being cruel now and you hate it, but your feelings for Tech outweigh any feeling of pity you have for this trooper as you push the blade further into his arm. This makes you feel gross, there’s a sick feeling in your stomach as you revert back to your old way of being, before the bar, before the squad. “I think you do know, and I can promise you, keeping me from my family is going to hurt you more than the empire can.”
“There’s a site, half a klick away, railcar crash.”
You push the blade in one final time and through gritted teeth ask him, “What. Direction.”
The trooper answers with the direction, and you smile before taking the back of your blaster and tapping him on the side of the head. After a pulse check to be sure you haven’t killed the now slumped man you soldier on, emboldened by the confirmation of the site, eager to get to Tech as soon as possible.
The crash site is genuinely nauseating. The remains of the railcar are smashed and split at the base of the mountain, laying against a tall cedar tree. There’s wires coming out in all directions sending blue sparks out into the orange sky, and the air has the taste of oil and metal, whether it's from the bent and ugly pieces on the ground or the blood that lingers you aren’t sure. The ground around the site is pushed up and bulging from the impact, and there’s small crates from rocks being dislodged and shot as the car hit the ground. It’s ugly, the crash has left no survivors from the car that went down, and you’re not sure you have the gut to wander in further. You lean against a tree nearby and notice the black tether cord jutting out of the bottom of the car. Your heart sinks and you think you’d pass out if you hadn’t been leaning against something sturdy. “Oh, oh Tech.” You whisper, slinking to the ground and letting yourself cry, really cry, for the first time today. You bring your knees up to your chest and drop your head down, tears stinging your cheeks as the cold burns them into your skin. You have to start moving, you aren’t really dressed for this, and as the sky turns magenta you know it isn’t long before it turns to night, not to mention that you know there are troopers nearby. 
You lift your head up, deciding you’re going to go walk back in a moment, and you rest the base of your head back on the tree and your eyes drift shut. “Hey Tech, it’s me again.” You whisper into the comm, still crying as you go on, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry I failed you. I just had to try. I have so much I want to say to you, there’s so much-” your ears suddenly focus on something not too far from you. It’s the echo of your voice, reverberating off the nearby trees that has your heart pounding. “Hello? Hello!” you call, hearing the sound of your voice grow louder when suddenly, under the base of a tree, you hear it. It’s faint, but strong, and it’s your name being carried over the wind and down to you, spoken as soft as a prayer. When you look up you can see him, tangled in a mess of grapple line and tarp, armor dented and cracked, goggles missing. It’s your Tech, leaning against the trunk of this tree in a mess of his own creation, battered and bloody but breathing. “Tech!” You climb up to him as best you can, you aren’t an excellent climber by any means but the branches are sturdy and well placed, and suddenly you’ve reached him and he’s real. Your hands are everywhere, gentle and prodding, untangling him from the grapple line and running soothing strokes along the side of his face as he looks at you like you’ve got ten heads. He’s cold, he looks like he’s in pain, and you can tell by the grimace on his face when you brush his torso he’s got cracked ribs.
“Given my blood loss and my pain, this logically must be a hallucination.”
“No no no,” you’re soothing yourself now too, trying not to be hysterical as you untangle him and think of ways to get him down from the tree. “No, Tech I’m here, I’m here.”
“I, I don’t understand.”
“Tech,” you pause, placing a hand on his chest and looking into his eyes. He really is a mess, bloody and tired and his hair is flying in every which way. You’re laughing now, out of hysteria, out of irony, as you finally discard the tarp and shuffle the grapple line away from his body. “Do you remember how we met?”
“Of course,” he strains at the movement of you pulling him off of the trunk, “You were in the process of being mugged if I remember correctly?”
“I was negotiating the return of my wallet”
“And we found you on our walk through Ord Mantell. And then you took us to Cid’s.”
“Do you remember how I looked?”
He looks at you know confused, before slowly reaching up to feel his hair, the dried blood and the cuts still dripping, and despite it all, he cracks a smile. “Don’t tell me I look worse than that.”
You bite your cheek at the joke, happy he’s alive enough to even be making a joke, “Despite it all, I think you’ll live.”
Getting Tech down from the tree is awkward and clunky. He’s hurt, bad, and you’re worried with the movement he’s going to hurt himself beyond repair. You’ve got a solid medkit on your ship, and you just have to get him there. He’s fashioned himself a crutch out of a discarded branch and is using you to hold the majority of his weight, yet the walk still takes over double the time to get back to the ship. He regales you with the tale of his survival, though you admit that around the point he begins discussing “inertia” and the forces of gravity and the quick thinking of his pack, you’re more focused on him than what he’s saying. You get him back onto your ship quietly, careful to avoid the few troopers you see on the ground in order to avoid a firefight. Your ship is small, but it was designed to carry you and cargo, so you lead him to the small bed chamber off the cockpit. You press the button to open the door and lead him to your bed, tucked in the corner near a storage cubby, a mirror, and a small viewport. “Stay here.” You command as you lay him down in the bed, heading towards the cockpit to punch in the rendezvous coordinates. 
“I don’t believe I have much of a choice.”
* * *
“Hold still.”
“I would much prefer just the patches, thank you.”
“And I would much prefer you alive, thanks.” You huff as you inject Tech with one of the loose bacta shots you have in your kit. He grimaces, and you continue working on removing the shattered pieces of his armor and tossing them haphazardly on the floor.
“Why do you even have that, are they not illegal?”
“Lots of good things are illegal,” you mumble out as you rip gauze to lay over the bacta patches you’ve started to apply to his wounds. “Besides, of the two of us, who’s the one wanted by the empire right now?” You go to life up his shirt and squeeze your eyes shut at the dried, bloody mess around his ribs. 
He grimaces in response. “Fair point.”
You work in silence, his voice becoming more tired the more he’s spoken to you, and you don’t want to push him at risk of hurting him more. You’re applying the patches higher and higher before you sigh, breaking the silence. “Tech, I’m going to need to cut this undershirt off. I need to access your chest, and I don’t want you moving your arms more than you have to. He nods as you work on the rest of his body, whispering to both yourself and him, “Oh Tech.” 
He won’t meet your eyes, but in the darkened room he looks at the ceiling, “When you first arrived, I thought I was dead.”
“You have that little faith in my rescuing abilities.”
“I assumed you were an angel.” There’s a silence that fills the room, and you can practically feel the tension as it rolls off of him.
“I knew you were alive, I did.”
“Oh? Explain your logic.”
“I just think I would know if something happened to you.” You say, the end of the sentence trailing off into quiet as you continue to work, stepping back to begin working on his chest.
“I assume my clothing options are limited then,” his eyes land on the pile of clothes in the supply cubby behind you, thrown haphazardly as you searched for any jacket.
“I’ve got something for you, actually,” you murmur as you cut the shirt off, peeling the scraps of fabric off his body and exposing his torso, tanned and marred, you suck in a breath as you see the reality of it. 
He notices and grabs your hand. “If it soothes you, I did hit a very sturdy tree at a very swift impact, but clone armor is resilient. If I had done a proper examination, I would guess I’ve only cracked four ribs on my right side, where I made the most direct impact with the tree.”
“Oh good,” you snort, “only four.”
“I am… very fortunate I have a medic who is capable of helping me.” He looks at you earnestly, like he’s trying to decide what to say, and in reality, so are you. Hunter’s words are still ringing around in your skull, bouncing off your brain and worming themselves comfortably around your heart.
“Oh yeah, full service, you should see the trooper I took out.”
“I’m sorry?” He starts, and you bring a hand to his lips, shushing him quietly as you ease him back down to your bed. You stand up and walk towards the cubby, grabbing a similar black shirt to the one laying in scraps at your feet.
“Will this work?”
He squints at it, as if trying to place why it looks so familiar, when it clicks. “Is that… the undershirt I leant you when you stayed with Omega on our run to Tatooine?”
“Yes.”
“Why do you have it here?”
You don’t know what to say, and the way he’s looking at you, brown eyes boring into your soul with equal parts skepticism and hope, you decide the truth is best. “Because, sometimes, when you were gone, it was nice to sleep in. And sometimes I took myself flying because I didn’t like being in Ord Mantell alone, and so I would pack a change of clothes.”
“But you were never alone on Ord Mantell.”
You fold the shirt and place it on the edge of your bed, the confession you were so emboldened by suddenly feeling so small. As you make to walk towards the cockpit you shrug, “It felt like I was when you left.”
His grip is surprisingly strong (a perk of the illegal extra dose of bacta you assume) as he grabs your wrist, keeping you tethered to his side. He looks radiant like this somehow, patched up in your bed, hair mussed up on your pillow, shirt long discarded. He looks like your wildest dream. “Please. Stay. I have not been honest with you.” 
You sit down at the edge of the bed, hand landing on his shin. There’s enough room here that you could recline and lay with him, albeit squished, but not much. Instead, you back up and scoot so your back is flush to the wall of the ship and you’re sitting to his side, your body angled towards him.
“I, I haven’t really had a situation like that. One where I could not think of a suitable solution that had a high probability of success and survival. When I decided to remove myself from the equation so that the rest of the squad could survive, I found myself thinking of one thing.”
“Oh?” you question, your hand pausing in its small rotation of absentminded circles along his leg.
“I could not stop thinking about how much regret I had in not confessing my emotions to you, not allowing you the ability to decipher what you felt about them.”
It’s like the air is knocked out of you then, as he pushes himself up on his forearms to be closer to you and you shift towards him, backing off the wall and sitting closer to his hips now. “Tech I-”
“Please,” he starts, “I am not very good at understanding emotion. I have tried and tried and I haven’t ever felt adequate in it. I had assumed for many months now that you were simply being kind to me, that you felt nothing, and perhaps that is still right, but after Safa Toma, I began to think that you did feel something, something aside from friendship.”
Tears threaten to spill over your eyes as you beam at him, laughing quietly to yourself as you nod, both a quiet reassurance and indicator for him to go on. 
“I heard your messages, all of them. I wish to know you, all of you, as much as you chose to let me. If you would have me that is. It is very common for people to say things they don’t mean when under duress, and I would not hold it against you-”
You cut him off the only way your brain will let you as you lean closer to him, pulling his face up to yours and meeting him for a kiss. It’s everything you need from him, from this, soft and gentle and reassuring and comforting. He sighs against you for just a moment, as if reality is overwhelming him, and pulls you in deeper, shifting to the other side of your bed and allowing you to recline next to him on his left. He tastes metallic and medicinal but past all of the trauma and the medicine there’s still something (caf? chocolate?) that tastes like him, sweet and warm and him. He’s your Tech, he’s always been your Tech, and as you pull away you smile at him, running a finger along his cheek as he plants his hands firmly on the small of your back. 
“You promised me you’d always come back for me, and I want to promise you the same.” He pulls you in closer at that, placing your head on his chest. “And for the record, I fell for you much earlier than Safa Toma, but seeing you win that race really helped.”
He chuckles a bit at that, keeping you tucked in under his arm and with your head on his heart, he starts to slowly drift to sleep. You focus on that, the drum of his heart, the steady rise and fall of his breathing, and start to dream too, knowing that no dream can match reality. You will wake up in a world where Tech is still alive and he is still yours, and you already can’t wait to get there.

‘put the icing down’
diluc ragnvindr + zhongli x reader with no pronouns used
first post for my birthday event 🥳 more will be posted throughout the week 💕
warnings: readers birthday, suggestive but nothing explicit, food play?, playful boys uwuwuwu <3
Tumblr media
diluc
the bright afternoon sun shines through the windows of the dawn winerys kitchen, rays of light glistening off of the glassware, warming your smiling cheeks and the bangs of your beloved bartender standing next to you. in the yellow glow the bright vermillion of his hair, currently tied back in a high ponytail, looks like cascades of fire down his back and yet as soft as the finest cashmere. if your hands weren’t covered in frosting you may not have been able to hold back from reaching out touch him and even though they twitch at the memory of his porcelain skin under your fingertips you still hold back, simply and quietly taking in how handsome he looks like this. 
those pink lips you could kiss endlessly are drawn in a thin line, his eyebrows furrowing as he concentrates on his cake decorating skills. the defined muscles of his arms, exposed thanks to the lack of his black jacket and his rolled up sleeves, flex with each movement. the light catches his eyes and you swear they sparkle like the most finely cut rubies. you can feel the love you hold for diluc swirling through your entire being, the warmth of it spreading to every nerve, and you welcome the way it encompasses you.
normally it would be adelinde who spent the day preparing your birthday cake and any other dishes you desired but since this morning the kitchen has only seen the young master and his darling. he didn’t question why when you asked him to make your cake with you, though he did have reservations about making it adequate enough to celebrate you but with little convincing, and maybe a bit of doe eyes on your part, he couldn’t deny your request. anything that made you smile he would put his whole body and soul into.
“i can feel you staring,” diluc says, the smile beginning to tug at his lips laced in his words and sweet tone. he doesn’t take his eyes off of your cake or the swirls of frosting he’s almost finished with but his attention is most certainly on you. 
“you’re just so handsome, i can’t help myself ‘luc.”
his hands still, the icing breaking from the piping tip and landing on his hand that was moving the plate the cake rested on. the room gets noticeably warmer in an instant. feeling bold after having left the dark knight hero speechless you reach for the scarred hand that's still motionless on the plate and bring it to your lips, your lashes fluttering closed when you kiss the spot where the icing had landed and it smears against your lips. it’s perfectly sweet and you hum in delight as it melts on your tongue.
when your eyes open, not letting go of his warm palm, you see his gaze still doesn’t meet yours but he clears his throat, hoping it will stop the blush creeping up his neck, and replies. “if i recall correctly, i’m the one that is supposed to be spoiling you today my love.” moving fast he grabs the hand that held his and finally his eyes meet yours, bright and burning, soft and full of adoration- they always take your breath away and make your heart beat wildly. but something about them like this.. in the shine of the sun, his tender, blushing smile only adding to their entrancing beauty, your whole body lights ablaze and is swallowed by his flames. “it is your birthday after all.”
if this was a battle to see who could fluster who the best he surely would have won. the way he spoke. the way he held your hand with a gentleness that said he would never hurt you and he would protect you forevermore but with a strength that said he wasn’t ever going to let you go. the love in his eyes that was reserved for you and you alone.. no matter how long you’ve been together you aren’t sure you could ever get used to being under his attention like this.
“diluc..” you turned from him and focused on the delicious cake you had baked together, trying to still your racing heart and stop yourself from pouncing on him and never letting go. with fidgeting fingers you reach for the icing bag and go to finish the last little bit of decoration diluc was working on before your honied words distracted him. 
“put the icing down.”
you don’t really get a chance to process what he’s asking or why before burning hands and calloused fingers hold onto your thighs, lifting you around his slim waist and onto the counter. the marble cools your skin even through your pants, the icing left forgotten near the cake. soft hair tickles your neck and slightly chapped lips brush against the space between your shoulder and your neck. being held so close to him with his lips peppering you with kisses you can only repeat his name in a breathless whisper and hold onto him like he might slip away had you not held on so tightly. 
“let me see to it that you are the one who gets spoiled today, okay?”
“but you already spoil me so much,” your words quiet, barely more than a breath against his hair as your mind quickly becomes full of nothing but diluc and his loving touch. 
he pulls away from your neck, gazing at you with a glint of playful mischief and a look that tells you he wont have it any other way today. his mind was set and you could not convince him otherwise.
“and i intend to spoil you so much more darling.” if his words didn’t stop you from retorting, he knew his next actions were sure to. he’d be sure to steal your attention in ways only he could, that he knows without a doubt will leave you unable to deny just how much he was planning on giving you. gently he grabs one of your hands, taking in your every reaction through thick red lashes as he lifts your hand and slips your icing covered fingers past his lips.
zhongli
the deep, rich, voice of zhongli brings a feeling akin to a warm glow in a quiet early evening throughout the entire apartment the moment he steps inside, just a stride behind you. closing the door and locking it swiftly he follows after you towards the kitchen, setting down the ribbon wrapped box of cupcakes he had purchased for you during your walk through the harbor. he had been sure to bring his wallet today when he took you into the city and began the festivities he had planned for your birthday; a delicious breakfast he made himself before getting ready and heading to pick up a new outfit he had custom made just for you. a rest for tea at the yanshang teahouse before even more shopping and a delicious lunch. it was only the midafternoon and he had already adorned you in the finest clothes, the most flawless gems and hairpins and the endless kisses he had placed to your forehead each time you blushed and smiled at his seemingly endless gifts and near insatiable need to spoil you with the finest of things. you had never seen him spend so much money, at least that was his own.
the story he was telling comes to end as he helps you out of your coat, nimble fingers lifting the fabric off your shoulders and down your arms. the back of his gloved fingers hands caress your skin and leave a tingling warmth in their wake. every time he touched you, with such care and adoration, you swore you could burst into shards of cor lapis but even if you did, he would delicately pick up every piece and expertly put you back together.
“- quite interesting, isn’t it?” you catch the last bit of what he says, your thoughts lost in his touch moments before but his breath brushes against your ear as he speaks and finally brings your attention to how close he actually is to you. 
agreeing with a mildly flustered smile you turn around to face him and reach for his vest. you lean into the large hand that cups your face, closing your eyes to soak in his love when his thumb caresses your cheek in slow meaningful motions. moments like this weren’t rare between the two of you but you could never get enough of it. and even still you wondered how in celestia the lord of geo had come to love you, a mere mortal adventurer, with such intimate intensity. 
fleeting and leaving you yearning for more, he places a chaste kiss to your lips and pulls away too quickly for how badly you want to keep him close to you.
“shall i brew a pot of tea to go with your birthday dessert?”
with a sweet ‘mhm’ and your longing heart, you follow him hand in hand deeper into the kitchen. you prefer to watch your beloved in his element of making tea rather than getting too much in his way trying to help, though he loved when you did. so instead you leaned against the counter and fiddled with the thin ribbon on the box as he went through meticulous and elegant steps to make you tea to share. he looked unbelievable like this, godly despite how human he was now. you don’t know when he took off his gloves but you couldn’t help staring at the gold pattern mirrored on his dark hands and arms. his long hair swayed against his back at his movements, the soft smile on his face proof of how much he enjoyed this. little did you know how much more it meant to him doing such things for you- his precious lily, his one and only.
as the tea leaves steep he turns his full attention back to you, catching you fiddling with the box and staring at him with hearts in your eyes. he never minded when you couldn’t take your eyes off of him and he hoped you wouldn’t mind when he did the same in return. in his 6000+ years of life you have been the most beautiful thing he had seen and he could hardly bear to look away from such beauty, like a dragon watching over his most prized possession. 
“the history of this family's recipes goes back quite a while back,” he comments, his ungloved fingers pulling at the strings and lifting the top off the box to reveal the yummy treats inside. they all look devine, the bit of cake you can see looks fluffy and the icing is decorated intricately. you almost feel bad you’re going to eat something this beautiful. “not long after the establishment of the city in fact.”
“it must be really delicious to have stayed around for so long,” and looking at them now you didn’t want to wait to give it a try.
“indeed,” he says with a chuckle as he watches you take one from the box and begin to unwrap it. so unbelievably adorable, he thinks when you take a bite and hum in satisfaction, your eyes fluttering closed when you relish in the creamy frosting against your taste buds. “how is it?”
“so good!” you beam up at him. before he can reply you’ve already brought it to his lips. he can smell the vanilla mixed with your scent and it makes his chest swell in a way he hadn’t ever felt untill he met you. “try it.”
leaning down he takes a bite and notes how the tea he picked to go with would pair perfectly. he hopes you’ll think so too.
you don’t know how it happened, how your hand suddenly felt weak - or maybe it was your whole body - as you watched the handsome man before you look so unintentionally sensual taking a bite of the food you offered him, but before you could stop it the cupcake had splitted from your gasp, frosting smearing across the edge of his lips and his chin as it fell from your hands and onto the counter top.
“ah! love i’m sorry!” you immediately apologize and reach for a paper towel to clean it off of him but before you can he’s already whipping it from his perfect skin with a fond smile on his face. his amber eyes flicker with ethereal light when he looks at his frosting covered fingers and then back at you. though still full of love his smile turns into one more playful and teasing than before. “what?” 
you don't need to clarify, he knows what you’re asking about and he adores your sweet curiosity. “you know darling,” he stares into your eyes and your heart races at the flash of white fangs when he smiles a little wider. whatever he’s thinking is apparently amusing him. “this icing would be even more delicious on you.”
he reaches to smear it against you but, despite your body heating from your cheeks to down between your legs, you manage to slip from his range.
mischievous little thing.
“oh no you don’t,” you tease and begin to round the island with quick steps, his playfulness rubbing off on you. “put the icing down!”
he chuckles and you giggle his name as he takes one long stride towards you and you keep up this little game of chase.
thinking you could stay away from his grasp a little longer you quickly turn to run the other way but as soon as you turn around you smack right into his chest, the icing on his finger smearing against your cheek when you move suddenly as to not fall over and he reaches with his free hand to steady you. he had moved so quickly you didn’t prepare yourself for how fast you would lose but you giggled nonetheless until you looked up and into his eyes, seeing the searing amber flecked with gold that stared back at you. there was no doubt those were the eyes of an archon. and like a predator having caught his prey, his lips curl into a victoriously smile. 
“not quite where i was aiming,” he notes, his voice still playful but somehow even deeper than normal, laced with the prowess of his true form and so willingly you succumbed to it. “but it’s no matter.”
as if you weren’t already clinging to him for stability, your hands bunched at the fabric of his shirt tighter at the ghost of his breath on your face; tighter at the wet warmth of his long forked tongue kitten licking the corner of your lips; tighter at the press of it against you to lick the icing right off your cheek. 
his chest rumbled against you and with the little remaining strength you have, you can only whisper his name before he steals the rest of it. easily he uses his own strength to keep you both upright and entangled with one another even as he places you on the counter to be an even finer dessert than the cupcakes.

it’s me again! thank you so much for your response on my first ask!
so, my next question is this: what does the Town do for more, like, advanced medical stuff? because you don’t need high tech for some ailments, such as stitching wounds and setting bones, and a few illnesses can be made out just through visible symptoms.
but what about things like stomach pumping? X-rays? stuff like that? would the Town have it, or would that be too “modern”?
i know the Town has IVs (at least, i think those were IVs in P2), and Rubin seems to have a bit of a more “modern” look to his lab, but i’m not sure how far that “modernness” extends.
I generally go by "if the doctors in Town aren't using it under the critical circumstances in-game, it doesn't exist" - the bachelor points out that he doesn't have adequate instrumentation, and the haruspex was sent out of the town to study modern techniques in the first place. the Town is also pre-electric so that's not a point in favor of complex equipment... here's my review of stuff that we Can find
the Haruspex has an alembic, which is used for distillation, and another thing - a brewing tank in 2, but its patho1 equivalent looks more like another kind of separatory device (note the spouts at differing heights) and its tooltip is just [Mixture]. I would guess this is rockable along the support rod, used 2 mix or separate fluids
Tumblr media
isidor's house doesn't have much of any equipment but this second thing, which I can't quite place - it also looks like a separatory device but is hand-cranked. (alembic pic also inserted so it's not huge)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
medical equipment provided in 2's theatre is overwhelmingly "tins of unknown substance" which are likely to reflect the prevalence of herbal medicines. & yeah, these are IVs formed from what looks like a waterskin and needle (of absurd gauge! mamma mia! I hope it's just that large so it shows up on the game screen)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I was surprised while checking locations for this that rubin's crappy p2 hideout has literally no instrumentation, he has a bonesaw and a water pump and a couple of cans/packages laying around. afaik he doesn't even make the vaccine in p2 which tracks with that :-( but in p1, he has visible a microscope, scale, sealable fluid tanks, and a variety of glassware: test tubes with racks, and stoppered Erlenmeyer and cylindrical flasks of multiple sizes. which is a lot more than dankovsky has (only a microscope + tubes). speaking of microscopes, the way their UI works in-game confirms that blood samples are not centrifuged so a lot of modern techniques aren't going to be applicable.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
anyway for advanced stuff I think people just died unfortunately.

location: the bonfire, bighorn hills
status: closed for @lorelai-tseng
What kind of place didn’t provide adequate glassware? Mallory, who had brought her bottle of wine as more of a comfort than anything else, had been rightly offended when offered red solo cups after she enquired about drinking aids, and thus was left with no appropriate way to drink. And being sober here was getting to be more of a hardship. It was then she witnessed something that almost made her drop to her knees and weep. A woman with a wine glass. A real wine glass. “Excuse me, I don’t suppose you have a spare one? I don’t do forests but at least thought the event coordinators would provide decent glasses, and it’s unfair to the Malbec to be served in a plastic cup.”

What are some common challenges in home shifting and how to overcome them?
  Introduction:
Home shifting is an exciting yet challenging endeavor that requires meticulous planning, organization, and coordination. From packing fragile items to navigating logistical hurdles, various challenges can arise during the shifting process. However, with the right approach and assistance from experienced professionals like RKS Transport, these challenges can be overcome seamlessly. In this blog, we'll explore some common challenges in home shifting services in Coimbatore and provide practical tips on how to overcome them with the expertise of RKS Transport.
Tumblr media
Packing Fragile Items:
One of the most common challenges in home shifting is ensuring the safe transportation of fragile items such as glassware, ceramics, and electronics. To overcome this challenge, use ample padding and cushioning materials such as bubble wrap, packing paper, and foam peanuts. Pack fragile items individually and use sturdy boxes to minimize the risk of breakage during transit. Additionally, consider hiring professional packers and movers like RKS Transport, who have the expertise and resources to pack fragile items safely and securely.
Heavy Lifting and Manual Labor:
Another challenge in home shifting is the physical strain associated with heavy lifting and manual labor. To overcome this challenge, enlist the help of friends, family members, or professional movers to assist with lifting and carrying heavy furniture and appliances. Use proper lifting techniques to avoid injury, such as bending your knees, keeping your back straight, and using your legs to lift. Alternatively, consider hiring a full-service moving company like RKS Transport, who can handle all aspects of the move, including heavy lifting, loading, and unloading.
Transportation Logistics:
Coordinating transportation logistics can be a significant challenge, especially for long-distance moves or when navigating narrow streets and busy traffic conditions. To overcome this challenge, plan your route in advance and consider factors such as road closures, traffic congestion, and weather conditions. Communicate with your moving company, such as RKS Transport, to ensure they have the necessary permits and equipment to navigate any logistical challenges. Additionally, consider hiring a moving company with GPS tracking capabilities, allowing you to monitor the progress of your belongings in real-time.
Storage Solutions:
In some cases, you may encounter challenges with storage during the home shifting process, such as a delay in accessing your new home or downsizing to a smaller space. To overcome this challenge, consider renting a temporary storage unit to store belongings until you're ready to move them into your new home. Choose a reputable storage facility with adequate security measures to protect your belongings. Alternatively, work with a moving company like RKS Transport that offers storage solutions as part of their services, allowing you to seamlessly transition between homes.
Managing Time Constraints:
Time constraints can pose a significant challenge during the home shifting process, especially when coordinating multiple tasks such as packing, scheduling movers, and transferring utilities. To overcome this challenge, create a detailed timeline and checklist outlining all the tasks that need to be completed before, during, and after the move. Prioritize tasks based on urgency and allocate sufficient time for each task to avoid last-minute rushing. Consider enlisting the help of professional packers and movers in Coimbatore like RKS Transport, who can streamline the moving process and save you valuable time and effort.
Conclusion:
Home shifting comes with its fair share of challenges, but with careful planning, organization, and assistance from experienced professionals like RKS Transport, these challenges can be overcome successfully. By following the tips outlined in this blog and leveraging the expertise of a reputable moving company, you can ensure a smooth and stress-free transition to your new home with RKS Transport by your side.

Dive Deep into the World of Foam Packaging Inserts- Types, Benefits, and Uses
In the world of e-commerce and shipping, safeguarding your products during their journey to the customer is paramount.  Foam packaging inserts have emerged as a popular and versatile solution for businesses seeking reliable product protection. But what exactly are foam inserts, and how can Custom Box Inserts Enhance Your Packaging and Brand?
Understanding Foam Packaging Inserts
Foam packaging inserts are precisely cut pieces of foam, typically polystyrene or polyurethane, that are strategically placed within personalized product boxes to secure and cushion your products.  They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and densities to accommodate a wide range of products, from delicate electronics to heavy machinery.
Tumblr media
The Advantages of Foam Inserts
Enhanced Protection: Foam's shock-absorbing properties effectively shield your products from bumps, vibrations, and impacts that can occur during shipping. This minimizes the risk of damage and ensures your products reach their destination in pristine condition.
Lightweight Marvels: Foam inserts are incredibly lightweight, which can significantly reduce your overall shipping costs. This is a major benefit, especially for businesses that ship large volumes of products.
Insulation Powerhouse: Certain types of foam offer thermal insulation properties, making them ideal for products that require temperature control during transportation. This is particularly crucial for items sensitive to heat or cold, such as pharmaceuticals or food products.
Customizable Comfort: Foam inserts can be custom-designed to perfectly cradle your specific products. This snug fit prevents them from shifting around within the box, further minimizing the risk of damage.
Eco-Conscious Considerations: While some boxes with foam inserts materials may have environmental drawbacks, advancements have been made in recent years. Biodegradable and recyclable foam options are becoming increasingly available, allowing businesses to prioritize both product protection and environmental responsibility.
Unveiling the Applications of Foam Inserts
Foam inserts offer a broad spectrum of applications across various industries. Here are a few examples:
Electronics: Foam inserts are widely used to safeguard delicate electronic components like circuit boards, computer parts, and mobile devices.
Fragile Items: For businesses shipping glassware, artwork, or other fragile items, foam inserts provide essential cushioning and prevent breakage.
Medical Supplies: The temperature-sensitive nature of medical supplies necessitates reliable insulation. Foam inserts can ensure these products maintain proper temperatures during transport.
Luxury Goods: For high-end products like jewelry or cosmetics, foam inserts add a touch of elegance and sophistication to the unboxing experience.
Choosing the Right Foam Insert
With the diverse range of foam insert options available, selecting right form insert ,the most suitable type for your needs is crucial. Here are some key factors to consider:
Product Requirements: The size, weight, and fragility of your product will determine the necessary insert thickness and density.
Budget Constraints: Foam inserts come in various price points. Consider the cost-effectiveness factor while ensuring adequate protection for your products.
Environmental Impact: If eco-friendliness is a priority for your brand, explore biodegradable or recyclable foam options.
By understanding the types, benefits, and applications of foam packaging inserts, you can make informed decisions to elevate your packaging strategy.  Foam inserts not only safeguard your products but also enhance the overall customer experience by ensuring their safe arrival.

5 Money Saving Moving Tricks You Can’t Afford to Miss!
Tumblr media
While planning your move, you may start worrying about the range of expenses coming with it like hiring packers and movers, buying new necessities and much more. There are many things that require a lot of attention and expenses to make. Thus, you might need to follow some smart ways of saving throughout the process so that moving doesn’t burn your pocket. So, start scrolling to read further and know the best tricks of saving money during relocating.
No wonder, finally shifting to a new home or may be to a new city as well makes you feel excited. However, on the other hand when it comes to moving, it turns into a feeling of worry. This is obvious because moving is a very hectic and effort making task that involves a lot of expenses as well. Strategizing the entire process of relocation or creating and following a moving checklist can definitely help in reducing a lot of your last minute stress and efforts. On the other hand, there are some simple tips and tricks to even reduce down your moving expenses. Let us discuss here below –
Plan or Strategize Your Move Early –
Tumblr media
As already said, planning early helps. It is because when people get in rush, they tend to spend more money than they may spend otherwise. Planning early is not just about reducing your efforts and stress eventually. It also helps in saving money in relocation. You get adequate time to plan it effectively, keeping the expenses low. Planning early gives you ample time to come up with inexpensive alternative way outs to everything. Moreover, you can consider reducing your packers and movers charges by doing some of the tasks on own and even by negotiating with different moving companies to get the best moving quote.
Avoid Buying Supplies or Packing Boxes -
Tumblr media
Things like packing boxes, bubble wraps, paper wrappings, and other can add a lot into the list of expenses. However, you can cut down on your moving cost by being creative on how to source them. Consider asking your neighbors, friends and relatives who might have moved recently or planning to move. They can save their boxes and other necessary moving supplies for you. On the other hand, retail locations like grocery, appliances or furniture stores can also help you get some leftover boxes from their recent or past deliveries. Also, try to be resourceful by using what you already have like socks, t-shirts, newspapers, towels, sweaters and even blankets works as excellent alternatives for wrapping glassware, delicate furniture and other fragile items.
Do It Yourself -
Tumblr media
For all those willing to save a lot of their expenses that comes with moving then doing it yourself is the best solution. Although, it is always advisable to hire trusted movers and packers Delhi to Mumbai, Chandigarh, Indore, Lucknow or anywhere you plan to move they conduct everything with utmost professionalism and safety but to save money you can consider at least packing and unpacking your things on own. Even if you leave the team of packers and movers to pack larger items like furniture, appliances and other, you can pack clothes and smaller items on own and save good on your movers and packers charges.
De-Clutter to Sell or Donate Your Unwanted Belongings –
Tumblr media
One of the best ways of saving your money while moving is by de-cluttering that will help you find things that you need and things that you don’t use or want anymore. It can be old clothes or outfits that don’t fit you anymore, and many furniture or appliances that you don’t use anymore. De-cluttering your home will help you segregate such things which you can donate. However, selling all such unwanted items at online or nearby stores or to someone you know interested, may help you in earning extra for your move.
Don’t Invest on Cheap Moving Company –
Tumblr media
Yes, that’s what you always need to remember! Do not hire cheap movers and packers as there are high chances of getting your belongings damaged or even lost during the move. On the contrary to verified packers and movers, local or cheap moving service providers don’t boast a team of skilled professionals, don’t use good quality packing materials and techniques to conduct the process professionally. In fact, loss, theft or damaged goods as outcome will later on increase your expenses on buying or repairing the items all again.
Hope, all these factors help you save money during your relocation. However, when it is about finding the best moving company in India, Thepackersmovers.com is undoubtedly, the best and the most trusted online directory for you.
Happy Moving!

Navigating The Essentials: The Vital Role Of Removalists In Sans Souci
Tumblr media
Moving can be a daunting task, fraught with stress and logistical challenges. Whether it's a residential relocation or a commercial move, the process demands careful planning, organization, and physical labor. the assistance of removalists in sans souc  is not just convenient but essential for a smooth transition. Let's explore why these professionals are indispensable in the journey of relocation.
1. Expertise and Experience:
One of the primary reasons to enlist the help of removalists is their expertise and experience. These professionals are well-versed in the art of packing, loading, transporting, and unloading belongings efficiently and safely. They understand the nuances of handling various items, from fragile glassware to bulky furniture, ensuring everything reaches its destination intact.
2. Proper Equipment and Tools:
Removalists come equipped with the necessary tools and equipment to tackle even the most challenging moving tasks. From sturdy boxes and packing materials to dollies and lifting straps, they have everything needed to streamline the process and minimize the risk of damage to your belongings. This level of preparedness sets them apart and ensures a hassle-free relocation experience.
3. Time and Energy Savings:
Attempting to manage a move independently can consume a significant amount of time and energy. By enlisting the services of removalists, you free yourself from the burden of labor-intensive tasks, allowing you to focus on other aspects of the transition. Whether it's redirecting utilities or settling into your new space, having professionals handle the heavy lifting can make a world of difference.
4. Customized Solutions:
Every move is unique, presenting its own set of challenges and requirements. Removalists understand this and offer customized solutions tailored to your specific needs. Whether you're moving locally within Sans Souci or embarking on a long-distance journey, they can accommodate your preferences and constraints, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.
5. Peace of Mind:
Perhaps the most valuable aspect of hiring removalists is the peace of mind they provide. Knowing that experienced professionals are overseeing every aspect of your move can alleviate much of the stress and anxiety associated with relocation. You can rest assured that your belongings are in capable hands, allowing you to focus on the excitement of starting a new chapter in your life.
6. Insurance Coverage:
Accidents can happen, even under the most careful supervision. Fortunately, reputable removalists offer insurance coverage to protect your belongings against unforeseen circumstances such as theft, damage, or loss during transit. This added layer of security provides peace of mind and ensures that you're adequately safeguarded throughout the moving process.
7. Post-Move Support:
The support of removalists doesn't necessarily end once your belongings have been delivered to your new location. Many removalist companies offer additional services such as unpacking, furniture assembly, and even storage solutions, easing the transition and helping you settle into your new space with ease.
In conclusion, removalists play a vital role in the process of relocation, offering expertise, efficiency, and peace of mind to individuals and businesses alike. In Sans Souci, where the tranquility of suburban life meets the bustling energy of Sydney, these professionals serve as indispensable allies in navigating the complexities of moving. By entrusting your move to experienced removalists, you can embark on your new adventure with confidence, knowing that every detail is being handled with care and precision.

9 Spruce Tips for Packing Fragile and Fragile Items: Packing Fragile Items 
Do you have a large collection of fine and thin items? Are you worried about how to pack these pieces for your trip while planning your move from Sambalpur to Mangalore? In that case, don't worry as Sambalpur packers and movers  take full responsibility of packing your household  and serve you with your extra exquisite handling and relocation services  if you book them on time.
Tumblr media
Determining them is pretty easy - start your research early, find the best movers  in the industry, choose one based on your moving budget and other requirements. Compare prices and reviews thoroughly, check customer reviews and also read all other information provided on their website to choose your requirements!
Once you have discussed with the experts what kind of packing and moving assistance you need, avoid moving hassles as they are well trained to provide you with the best solutions. In the meantime, take a few minutes to check out the comprehensive packing guide (packing step by step) that we've shared with you below.
Plan and prepare – If you have a lot of fragile items, it can add to the hassle of moving. So plan ahead how you will move them. Do you want to pack them yourself to make sure they are safe, or do you want  moving professionals to move them into  moving boxes? Whatever you choose for your move, make a plan to stick to it.
Consider the basics – Pulling out every delicate and delicate item from your home for moving is quite a chaotic task. Plus, you can't just pack them away because they have both monetary and sentimental value. So, make sure you take enough care and use all the necessary protective packing materials to get the job done. Consider the mileage when packing them. 
Talk to the movers – Even though the movers  hired for your move have the  best packing and moving techniques in the industry, this means you can rest easy. However, there would still be many things  you should discuss with the moving professionals - such as what special services do they have for sensitive items? Do they offer custom box services for delicate items? Who packs and do special shipments have priority?
Purchase packing materials – Yes, the movers you choose for your move will take care of the packing supplies and bring  the necessary packing materials with them, but there is no harm in getting them. Excess packaging material would not cause damage, but would provide the necessary protection for your goods. Some important packaging supplies include – moving boxes, bubble wrap, etc. 
Know Their Uses - We may not know how the most important packaging materials can benefit our packaging protocol, but here are some  popular ways to perfectly control your collected packaging materials and provide optimal protection for delicate items. Check them out  here:
• A popular packaging, bubble wrap, can be used to adequately insulate goods  to protect them from damage during transport.
• Foam and fabric sheets readily available on the market work well if you have larger items that are just as delicate.
