💌The Sin of Brevity💌
A mushy little thing I wrote for the Shrimp Skwad's Tiny Scene Sunday featuring Mariel's parents 🥺 Enjoy or don't! Do whatever you want!
WC: 269
CW: none
Characters: Marion, Nigel, Ada, Mariel
My Fair Marion,
With any hope, this message will reach you and the girls before the year is done. If the wind should favor the vessel which carries it, then perhaps much sooner than that. Perhaps even before the first rainfall of the season.
Ada and Mariel will no doubt delight in that puddle that forms by the front window of the house. Do you remember how you thought them changelings because they burst inside caked in mud during last year’s rains? Oh! I will never forget how you screamed! Or how I laughed!
Is the littlest one born yet? What have you decided to call him? Or her? Three girls would be darling… Perhaps you’ve already put to good use that crib I carved before I left. I hope that carpenter’s boy came around to sand down the rough edges like he said he would. He certainly owes us a great debt after we put in a good word for him with the guard after his dog bit that woman last summer. What a strange crusade that was…
But these days, with the sea angry beneath our keel and the tempestuous winds battering our sails, I want for nothing more than to take on those odd adventures with you. Instead I sit here, sullen, as I near the bottom of this my final piece of parchment. These last remaining inches seem far too small a space to adequately put into words how much I miss you.
I love you. My heart, my fair one, my guiding light in the darkness. Forgive me the sin of brevity.
Yours,
Nigel

I was thinking about how dimple thought mob would exorcise him if tsubomi or that guy he possessed in spirits arc got hurt, and how reigen told dimple mob would exorcise him for sure if he finds out he lied in wd arc. It felt really strange when fandom took their words as facts, like... none of these are dimple's fault? Why would reigen and dimple think that way?
shigeo himself has threatened to return ekubo to the void for far less, if you'll recall:
「僕の名前は茂夫だよ。次、茂ちゃんって呼んだら除霊するから。」
'boku no namae wa shigeo da yo. tsugi, "shige-chan" -tte yondara jorei suru kara.'
'my name is shigeo. call me 'shige-chan' again and i'll exorcise you.'
when he wakes up to the sleazy ghost's wheedling voice, he's ready to exorcise him. he does not give a single fuck. 「他に言い残すことは?」 comes to mind ('hoka ni iinokosu koto wa?' i would translate this as 'any more last words?'). then he warns him LATER THAT DAY that he'll be exorcised if he misbehaves again. granted, this came early in their acquaintance... and the very next morning after ekubo tried to murder him in s1e3... but still. (the ghost calls him by his given name for the rest of the series.)
in the psycho helmet arc, shigeo is incensed enough, hurt enough, and more than prepared to make good on that promise. he does not want to! and is weeping at the prospect of sending his friend to the shadow realms, but he will if he must. so that threat has been looming over ekubo for the entire series, anon. it's not baseless.
reigen's sense of what 'misbehavior' entails feels less punitive than ekubo's, however. it probably speaks to their backgrounds. reigen's example entails a breach of trust. even if that lie was justified (and oh ho, was it ever), it was still a lie, with all the potential to piss shigeo off. and reigen has reason to fear that, given that much of his own relationship with shigeo is based on blatant lies and he's secretly terrified of what will happen when they come to light... he's projecting so hard...
i imagine ekubo has led the kind of harsh gangsta (after)life where spirits being obliterated on someone's whim is common, if he fears it happening over what you mention specifically. those are less examples of behaving badly than failure to keep a promise, i think. but in ekubo's worldview? still perhaps bad enough to warrant severe punishment. the spirit has a better sense of what shigeo is capable of than reigen does and has valid reason to fear him, too.
i don't think shigeo actually would have exorcised ekubo for either of these things. i mean, he's grateful to the ghost for preventing him from nuking a sizable chunk of his hometown in grief and voices this; his methods wouldn't have mattered. especially after the fact. if shigeo can recontextualize mogami's torture for months as a cosmic fucking joke played at his expense and take him on? he can understand and forgive ekubo's lie in good faith.

91 for Pynch 😈🔥 please and thank 🥺 ily
[SEXY PROMPTS]
HELL YES! thanks so so much for the prompt!! 💕💕💕
91. Cock-Warming
Ronan Lynch liked the feeling of things in his mouth. Anyone who looked at him long enough could tell– oral fixation is what his dad used to call it. When he was little, he chewed his fingernails to nubs, gnawing on the long locks of his black hair. As he got older, it manifested in other ways; always with a piece of his leather bracelets between his teeth, chomping gum and blowing bubbles. And then, as he got older still, he found that he enjoyed the way other things felt in his mouth– Adam’s fingers or his tongue.
The first time he got his mouth around Adam's dick, he knew there was no going back. Nothing, in Ronan's expert opinion, ever quite compared to the weight of it on his tongue, the press of it against the back of his throat, the suffocating scent of AdamAdamAdam, heady and all-encompassing.
He loved Adam, but Ronan thought he especially loved him like this.
It took some time for them both to get to this point, this state of casual intimacy. They had long since shifted past the awkward friends to lovers stage, staggered through puppy love, soared through the honeymoon phase, and now, with Ronan’s head nestled in Adam's lap, Adam's half hard cock warm in his mouth, they were simply content. Comfortable.
Adam absently brushed a few fingers across Ronan's jaw before flipping a page of his book. Ronan had lost count of how many pages had been flipped, how many minutes had passed. It didn't matter. The world could be ending around them and he might never even notice. He nuzzled closer and Adam swallowed a moan, surprise making him nearly drop his book on Ronan’s face. His cock swelled at the movement, jumping back to life, hardening. The tip pressed solid against the inside of Ronan's cheek.
Sometimes it felt like too much and it always felt like not enough. Rubbing his tongue along Adam's shaft, he relished in the way it filled his mouth.
"Shit, Lynch," Adam said. His hand cradled the back of Ronan's skull, nails biting into his scalp. His throat moved when he swallowed, his touch gentle, restrained. Ronan would let Adam fuck his mouth if he asked, but Adam– careful, lovely, considerate Adam– did not ask. His fingertips brushed over Ronan's short hair. "Are you done?"
Ronan snorted and the sensation had Adam moaning again.
In truth, Ronan thought he could come like this, his mouth filled with Adam. All it would take was a few rough strokes. But that's not why he did this. It wasn't a means to an end, or a form of foreplay, though, since he was already here, he wouldn't mind getting Adam off. It was more complicated than that, something that felt beyond words.
He did this to feel close to Adam, to feel whole, to quiet his mind as well as his mouth. He did it because it felt good, because he liked the taste and the ache in his jaw and the stretch of his lips pulled wide; because he enjoyed the way Adam practically melted beneath him, relaxed and boneless.
He pulled off Adam with a pop and wiped at the string of saliva that connected them. He never said it was a pretty habit. "Are you done?" Ronan retorted.
Adam pursed his lips thoughtfully and flipped through his book. "I have a few more chapters left and some time to kill." He paused, looked at Ronan as if he could see inside his soul, and added, "Only if you want."
Of course Ronan would always want. He placed a gentle, teasing kiss right below Adam's belly button before taking him in his mouth again. After all, between Adam's legs was his very favorite place to be.

Which character do you enjoy writing romance scenes the most?
Irus 👀 But I wrote Elora's romance scenes today and I am just in love with them too. When I start writing Oren's scenes at the banquet, I'm probably going to say the same for him as well 😅 I love writing romance in general and each RO is so different when writing their responses, so it's a lot of fun. If I could write romance all day, I would 🤷♀️😏

Tagged by @lucien-lachance thanks :D
Tagging whoever wants to have some fun
NO CHEATING: You’re starring in a movie with the last person saved in your camera roll and the last song you listened to is the title. Who/what is it?
I am starring alongside this lovely knight:
And the title is "Beginning". ...Beginning of what?
