REARRANGE YOUR WORLD. luke castellan

description. as the daughter of the god of dreams still honing her powers, you sometimes found yourself sucked into the dreams of others. tonight, like most nights, you find yourself in the dream of luke castellan. however, his dream seems to be more pleasant than it usually is

includes. SMUT 18+, fem!reader, she/her pronouns for r, consensual voyeurism (luke watches), dub con voyeurism (r watches luke watching…), subby!Luke, dom!reader (dream scape reader), real r and luke r just friends, cliffhanger don't be shocked; title from this must be my dream by the 1975

pt 2

wc. 1.3k+

a/n: the description and warnings makes it sound confusing but its not i swear.

Your dreamscape begins to morph.

You’re barely allowed to mourn the disappearance of the world you love so much, soft grass that acts as a cushion beneath your lax body, the distant smell of salt water and the soft sound of cascading waves just a little ways away. Nobody else in the world is there with you, yet you don’t feel lonely one bit.

And then, it’s ripped from under you and you find yourself in a bedroom instead.

It’s large, warm as if there was previously a source of heat but you don’t find one. You exist solely among furniture, a grandiose bedroom suite, a four poster bed in the center, the shape of what looks to be a couch in the corner. But nothing else is as clear as the bed.

You take a step closer, preparing for the piece of furniture to be the focus of the dream.

There’s just a few moments before the subject appears where things start to change. The changes aren’t noticeable, and if you hadn’t been forced to exist in dreams for a while now you wouldn’t have recognized them. The way the air became more humid and a little stuffier. The smell of the air becomes more pungent with a light musk that reeks of human sweat. And then you can feel a presence even before it’s there.

That’s when they appear.

One figure sits at the edge of the bed on their haunches. From what you can tell, they’re masculine presenting, the expanse of their back toned and tanned, dotted with a few sparse moles. They’re wearing nothing but dark boxer briefs.

The other figure sits towards the top of the bed. They’re lounging more so, wearing nothing but feminine undergarments. It takes you a while to notice who it is, and you spend the time analyzing their position. Leaned back on their elbows casually, legs bent and connected at the knee. They hold the position and air of a goddess, but it’s not until the dream clears you that you notice they aren’t a goddess. They’re a demigod.

They’re you.

Wearing a confident smile (bordering on a smirk) as well as she’s wearing that underwear set.

Your eyebrows furrow, you take a step closer, trying to figure out who is having a dream about you.

You step to the side of the bed and focus on the masculine figure. When your eyes land on Luke Castellan, things start to click into place.

Usually, Luke’s dreams are nightmares. Many times have you been pulled from the serenity of your dreamscape into the tortuous lands that Luke’s mind produced. You’ve fought off monsters from the deepest pits of the underworld along Luke’s side, only to wake up in the morning bearing the mental scars and smiling in Luke’s face as if you were unaware of your presence within his mind.

Your shoulders briefly start to tense as you prepare yourself for such. You wait, and wait. Anticipating the ground to open and swallow the scene. Or for a lightning bolt to strike down your surroundings. Or for something to come from somewhere to morph this brief serenity.

But the nightmare never comes.

Which leaves you to watch and see what will come. For better or for worse.

A few moments go by and then Dream You is speaking.

“Are you going to watch me, Lukey?”

Your eyebrows raise at the nickname. It’s not one you haven’t called him before, but you usually say it in an egotistical tease, used mostly during intense moments like capture the flag or during training.

Never with that tone of voice.

Dream You speaks like a temptress. Her voice is smooth, teasing, and seductive. You don’t even know if your real life voice is capable of sounding like that.

Luke nods, curly hair bouncing with the movement.

“Yes.” He hesitates for a second before adding, “If you’ll let me.”

Her grin grows and it’s not unlike the appearance of the cheshire cat.

“Of course I’ll let you, Luke. I’m not cruel.”

Dream You spreads her legs and the wet patch in the center of her panties is so vivid and emphasized. It’s only something that could exist within a dreamscape, a place where everything was emphasized. Desired or not.

With the way Luke’s breath hitches, you’re sure the sight of Dream You’s arousal is heavily desired by him.

His fingers twitch at his sides as if he wants to touch you. You notice Dream You’s eyes glancing down to his digits, but if she notices his eagerness she doesn’t say anything.

She situates herself up against the headboard and uses her now freed hands to touch her body. One hand goes to her chest and the other goes between her legs. She closes her eyes, and begins to touch over her slit.

“What do you say?” She asks Luke, her eyes still closed as she gets lost in the movements.

Luke’s reply is nearly instant.

“Thank you.”

Dream You sighs, she hums dismissively, and then she hooks her thumbs under the elastic of her panties and slides them off of her legs.

For some reason, your first instinct is to turn away. It’s only now that you’ve realized that Luke Castellan is having a wet dream about you, and you then realize that this is an intrusion. You shouldn’t be here and you should instead be working on finding your way out.

There is no reason for you to stay. Surely, Luke won’t be in any danger in this dream. There'll be no variables for you to manipulate or no reason to wake Luke up before he goes too far under.

But then again … it’s your body. You look at it every single day and that shouldn’t have to change solely because you’re viewing it through someone else’s perspective. Intrigue preys on you, urging you to get closer and closer until you can feel the heat wafting off of their bodies.

You take a step closer.

Since Luke has never seen you naked (from what you know at least), there are a few things that are off. Before you can stop yourself, you’ve blinked and your dream body is as realistic as the one in reality.

She swipes her fingers through her slit, dragging them up to her clit to rub a few circles, then she goes back down to slip her fingers into her entrance, two at a time.

Her moan is instantly pornographic. She throws her head back, arches her back, spreads her legs even more as her fingers start to pump in and out of her cunt. The noises are loud and lewd and vivid. They should make you cringe, and if you weren’t starting to be affected by Luke’s dream then maybe you would have.

Instead, you notice Luke beginning to palm the very prominent shape in his briefs and you can feel yourself falling under a spell of sorts. Everything becomes dreamier. You’re losing your self control. You’re having to fight the urge to kneel on that bed with Luke.

You don’t know if you expected Luke to ask Dream You for permission to touch himself (the relationship between these two is almost as intriguing as their movements), but he doesn’t. He reaches into his briefs and pulls his cock out.

You get a glimpse of his head—red and leaking and admittedly enticing—before your moral compass knocks back into place.

You take one step back, and then another. There really is no reason for you to be in here. Luke is fine, he’s probably having the time of his life, and you no longer have to play the role of the worried friend. You can leave him to his dreamscape, and return to yours where you’ll either try to remember as many details as possible or try to forget it all.

Either way, you shouldn’t be in here.

You turn around and a door appears.

Your foot lands in front of you, and you’re about to make your way to the exit until Luke speaks.

“Stay.”

ZOSAN FIC REC

Here is some of my fave zosan fics. Some of these I read years ago and so I don't fully remember what theyre about but they we're good enough that I still have strong emotional attachments when I see the name. Most of them are things I've read recently. Literally all I do all day is homework and have an app tts fanfics to me like an audio book so there's quite a few of recs here. I am not the best at summeries but just trust me bro these are GOOD SHIT. I only provide the best. What I consider a good fic: - Takes place in the one piece world (I don't like modern aus) - Characters stay in character or if they do have changes from their canon portrayal there is a justifiable reason from within the story. - Solid story telling and arcs (even the shorter fics) - The Zosan dynamic is kept mostly how it is in canon they fight and bicker. (I know some like when they're soft with eachother like a loving married couple. You won't find much of that here) - Some of these have pervy sanji, que nose bleeds and ogling. With that out of the way here's the list!! Now to my fave zosan fic of all time and ironically enough the only fic taking place in a modern setting: Life is fine series. TW: Drug abuse, heavy angst, depression I have reread this twice and forced a friend to read it too. It is so amazing not just for the zosan but for the genuinely good story telling. You follow zoro reeling from his sudden loss of relationship with Sanji and falling down a...Well uh, path. It's fucked it's dark it's depressing and its fucking riviting. Alot of the time reading this you're just like WHY DID SANJI LEAVE HIM WHAT IS GOING ON??? Honestly I need to reread this again. Onto softer fics to heal your heart after that one: Honor in limits, his strengths in weakness By Hawksbrood

“Fucking hell cook, what happened to you?” Zoro demanded, voice low so as not to disturb the others sleeping nearby.

Sanji rolled his eyes. “What do you think? I told you we got in a fight earlier.”

“Not that, your fucking feet!”

The cook snarled at that, crushing his cigarette in his teeth. “What the fuck do you mean, my feet? They’re just feet!”

Zoro’s eyes widened, looking at the bruised flesh before him. This wasn’t that.

This was just so good and cute. I appreciate watching zoro appreciate sanji. They take care of eachother but in a way where theyre both still them yeah know? I appreciate how sanji is written letting himself be vulnerable but understanding that he's always gonna be crass cause it's just a part of who he is.

come on, come on (turn a little faster) by donutsandcoffee

The one where everyone thinks they’re dating, Sanji is oblivious, and Zoro takes everything in stride.

Sometimes a love story can go in reverse.

I reread this one recently and it's just soft and sweet. I like watching sanji flounder around. The gay panic is great.

a complete guide to falling in love by ThousandSunny Sanji was trained in the Bridal Arts; this does not go unnoticed by the rest of his crew. I read this like 3 years ago and I dont remember much but I do remember loving it!

Part Timer By 8ball Sanji really, really doesn't want to give Zoro a job at his restaurant. Zoro doesn't really even want to work there in the first place, but, well, there’s this thing with Sanji, and this thing with feelings and the whole thing is pretty damn stupid all together. Zeff just wants grandkids. He’s too old for this bullshit anyways. I am sure everyone knows 8ball very well they're like zosan famous but still just in case this one is really fucking good. Also read this 3 years ago so I don't remember much but I consider this a zosan classic. Onto the rated R Grand Buffet by asyndese Drunk fic!! If there was one thing Zoro knew, it was that you could always trust Sanji's inclinations to do a beautiful 180 as soon as he was drunk. Luckily, Zoro was more than equipped to handle it. I spent. 30 minutes. Trying to find this fic again because that's how much I loved it. It altered my brain chemistry. Sanji getting a nose job during sex is just. aaaaaaaaa. Read it. Cannot suggest enough. Horrors not yet known by Trixree

Sanji doesn’t know how he didn’t notice it before, is the thing. Of all the times he has seen Zoro shirtless (in battle, mostly) he just… never noticed. The problem is, once he has noticed, Sanji can’t seem to stop noticing. And neither can anyone else.

In which Zoro has a nipple piercing and Sanji has a Problem.

I recently reread this and the first time I read it I didn't really get the whole gender sanji shit. Now though???? Yeah another fic that rewired my brain chemistry. This fic opened doors for me it exposed me to a new world. Also sanji gay panic is in here and I live for that. It can be pretty raunchy (love that too) Three rounds with a tiger by KobochaKitsune Another drunk Fic!! also in modern times damn maybe I lied sdklfj

Liquid courage, drunken decisions, terrible euphemisms, and texts from last night, or: how to think entirely with the booze (and your dick) for once.

Or: By the time Sanji got to the party, everyone was already drunk.

I read this 3 years ago (theres a trend going on can you tell??) It also rewired my brain chemistry (from this point on just assume all of these nsfw fics rewired my brain chemistry each of these opened doors for me. This one opened the doors to bottom zoro.) Fucking 20k words of just pwp. I dont even know how the author did that bro like damn. Nature of things by stark_black Tw: Sex work and prostitutes When the Sunny docks, Sanji and Zoro sometimes seek out relief in some not so savory places. After crossing paths in town on more than one occasion, the two find they have a lot more in common than they would like to admit. I hunted this down for like fucking hours a couple of weeks ago because it was that good. Stark_Black has a fucking library worth of zosan fics this one is a classic to me. But if you want more content check out his other fics I think they have like over 100 zosan its kinda insane. Coregasm by Yakarmi

Sanji discovers that sometimes, Zoro has orgasms while he lifts.

-----

“You…” Sanji trailed off, gaze turning down as he licked his lips. Pink tongue darting out nervously. “You orgasm when you exercise?”

Zoro clenched his jaw. Shrugged. Trying to act nonchalant.

“Sometimes.”

Sanji’s eye went wide, and like his mouth had suddenly been liberated from his brain, blurted out, “that’s so fucking hot,” before clamping his hands over his mouth. His cigarette fell from his mouth, bouncing soundlessly on the ground.

Bro bestie, the way this put me on nose bleed Sanji. Perv sanji. I need that gif thats like mmm cause man this is good. Ending this fic rec with a BANG we have

Contingencies and Congruencies by PeaceSignDisasterBi

Somewhere between finishing the bottles of alcohol and mugs of beer, the crew comes together to create a contingency plan for something that may-or-may-not-happen during their time on the Grand Line and beyond. Usopp thinks it's more likely than bumping into zombies, Zoro wants to stay out of this, Sanji is just going with the flow, and Nami may or may not keep things legally binding and above board with consistent consensual acquiescence. Robin finds it all amusing.

The damn chart stays in the locked drawer in her desk, split into three neat categories: Devil Fruit Powers, Science, and Magic. Each represents whatever they're hit with but also categorizes the amount of self-control the person has during.

AKA: 5 times Zoro and Sanji had to help each other as Consensual Helpers of Dubious Consent + 1 Time There Was Nothing Dubious At All

Ok this is 152k long its pretty insane. It regoes over the arcs so throughly so carefully that I literally had to question my memory because I havent experienced alot of these arcs in a while (it's one of the reasons im rewatching one piece). I will say despite how amazing and well written this is I had a hard time comprehending sometimes. now I was sick at the time of reading this so that might be why but sometimes the way things were phrased felt like yoda talking. I think it's just me though. I'm not used to big words :( And thats a wrap!! These arent even all the ones I wanted to include I have at least 20 more off the top of my head but I'll save that for another day. I hope you find joy in these fics Like i did I'll def do another one of these as cause I didnt even touch my sanji centric fics or germa 66 or just in general the best sanji fanfic writers. (Mentioned some of them like 8ball, thousand sunny and donuts and coffee.) Best of luck to yall and let me know what you think!

My Astro Observations . . . TROIS

Welcome back to my posts. 😁👋🏾💗

Erm let's get into it I lol haha

This first one is not even an observation ✨but✨ whenever I just hear about Pisces I think of this photo:

This probably does not even freaking make sense to you. Well literally I was on Pinterest and I saw this and the very first thing that popped into my mind was Pisces. Like I don’t know. I think that the seal signifying toothpaste laying on the toothbrush in the middle of a rainy day very mutable water energy. There is something neptunian about it. It’s very Pisces moon to me being specific. Probably doesn’t not even make sense. My cousin is a Pisces, he reminds me of this. Hm. Idk. 🐟🫧🐟🫧

The three fire signs for absolutely no hickory darn dickory reason at all :

OOF Okay. Stereotypical. But these fuckers are just loud for no reason !!! Like fren I PRAY THEE TO SHUT THE FUCK UP🥺🥺🥺. I’m lying lol !! I love loud ppl ahaha !! 😭🤣 Like girl yes let’s yell for no apparent reason at all 😆💖 !! They’re so crazy you can take them anywhere !! But like girl wait cause you don’t want to be in A Quiet Place with them- they will have you UTTERLY. FUCKED😵🤯. Like okay- it’s not even if the person just talks loud or laughs loudly- the fellow sillylington just might quite literally make random noises. These are very spontaneous individuals. And when I speak of this I mean like maybe they might have a good amount of fire placements dominating or have some good influence of it. Like girly your just loud. 😭 I also want to include Gemini partially in this mix cause you guys do weird things out of nowhere I love it- I kind of mentioned this in my last post.

These placements are the Fifth Harmony of astrology- im talking Demi Lavato💀 I'm talking Exo 💀 Just big and loud 💀 You guys give Secret Love Song by Fifth Harmony💀

Taurus, Aries, Capricorn, Sagittarius ,Scorpio remind me of this:

My mom is a Scorpio- with prominent Capricorn influence- she is very much welcomed into the Nation of Idgafsia. LIKE WOW. I aspire to not give a fuck like her !! Like these five placements be minding they bussiness foreralzies !!! Like a bomb in somebody house across the street could go off and mean while they’re in the bathroom setting up their soaps and bodycare right before they get in the shower- like dimming the lights n lighting their candles n everything IM CRYING😭 AOSNDODNSK. These ppl r nonchalant. They’re relaxed and easy to hang around, I love it I love it I love it 💖

like no this be them fr 😭😭😭 :

But personally and specifically I think a Taurus would be the mayor/president of Idgafsia. Using a old friend for observation, I don’t personally know how you could not be cool with one. She reminds me of capybaras.

When I litteraly say shes this gif I mean it. I could put a posionus snake her bed. She would have probrobly wake up and be like “not you put a poisonous snake in my bed while I was sleep. girly that’s so crazy girl let me go to the hospital real quick. ima be back. 🏥🚶🏻‍♀️🗿 ” LIKE HUH??? CQFBHENNR😭. Like if it SERIOUSLY has nothing to do with anything pertaining to them they will rlly just be chilling forreal foreal. 🗿

Aries/Gemini/Water men are so breedable imo

LOL. Let me stop😭

but yeah i could give these men the meanest strap.

Also water sign men are so sexy? wtf??

You can’t tell an Aquarius or Scorpio SHIT. They are very much “erm ackshually my fellow scholar🤓👆🏾 the sun is shuprshingly 📝🤓not the biggest 🤓📚🧪 celestial body within our vast mind boggling universe-🤓👆🏾 you may want to consider looking into stars such Sirius 🤓🤓🤓”

Like yeah dude. We know that. An Aquarius would probably try to explain to you how to walk as if you had not learned that many years ago in your fresh years on this planet. Girl move.

It’s so infuriating!! I CANT count how many times I’ve seen Aquarius like this specifically. Like ouu girly you want to be an encyclopedia soooo bad 🙄🙄 Like I don’t know. You guys really seem like know it alls, it’s really your way or the highway. I wanna prove an Aquarius girly wrong so bad. JUST BECAUSE 😈

They are the personification of finding out your ass was really on the remote after all- and now you just don’t want to admit it. Like we don’t care fren just give us the remote I’m trying to watch Once Upon a Time for the 12948372th time. 😔😞

Like girly wrap it up or whatever 🙄

But no.

No.

I do understand genuinely you guys really like to find information that really helped you out at times-and spread it to dear ones. It's very nice of you seriously- we appreciate it. Thank you my beloved wanna-be-encyclopedia, like rlly seriously my pookie scrimblo sticks. 💗🥰

Speaking of Aquarian influence. MY GOD. Idc if it’s Saturnian or Uranian or whatever. If it’s Aquarian/Capricornian (does that even make sense? I have come to this DEFINITE conclusion; that AQUARIUS/CAPRICORN IS JUST SO SEXY🤯🤯🤯 but the big emphasis is on Aquarius like MY GAWD.

*Dance for You by Beyonce starts to play* Like no . . . Papi Hiddleston is SO. FOINE. *DRAMATIC EXPLOSION* He be having me GAWKIN!! you ever see somebody so sexy you get scared ?!?! 😧 like oooh im shivering in me timbers !!! 😰🫣😨

several Aquarius have done me like that N LOOK. DONT EVEN TRY IT- Yes. I’m a marvel girlie. I might litterly bring up anything marvel related on every post so don’t even be shocked lol. Just expect that from now on im so serious lol. and yo my sister mad whacky she said he’s ugly and talked about his bamboozled hairline what a friggin' bitch😔✋🏾n if you think so too on January 22nd, 2024- on that Monday at 8:17 AM you will slip on a banana peel. 😈 🍌🍌🍌

I’m getting sidetracked BUT I watched that new BBC interview of him after season 2.

AND YO.

HIS VOICE IS SO DEEP WHAT?? ZOO WEE MAMA !!! 🤤🤤🤤

But this is how Capricorn/Aquarius have me😋😋😋

like it’s me bby . . 😜😉 let me be ur girl . . . mmmh stop trippin papi 😚😋🥰

They are sex walking I’m so sorry. This goes for Capricorn too with that Saturn energy. You guys r so hawt n sexay. Like sheesh meowwwww puurrr slay the boots house down yas. 🐈😼 😈

Like jeez let’s play Cool Cat by queen real quick.

Now listen up!

Virgo, Sagittarius, Leo, Aquarius, Aries, Capricorn, and Gemini !!! Im talking to you !! 💗😋 These placements are so accepting imo. Like no- I've just noticed that these placements.

Virgo- I think you guys seem to be good listeners. This goes for Gemini too- maybe because they may share qualities with Mercury. They both do so in a caring sense- such in a sense that if you feel like maybe no one is hearing you/dont feel heard they will maybe at least try to hear you out. I think they r just great when u need an ear 💗

Now Aries, Sag, Leo Gemini and Aquarius I LOVE YOU AGH. Is it me or like I LOVE WATCHING YOU GUYS BE YOURSELVES AHH. You inspire me so much AHH!!

YOU GUYS INSPIRE ME TO BE BOLD N TO JUST BE MYSELF LIKE ARGHH MATEY!! IM GONNA DO IT!!!!!!

I feel like there are times. Where you can feel or felt unsure or awkward about yourself. In my opinion I often see these signs just doing their thing at times- it can be unapologetic. It does not even have to be bold or anything they can just be minding their business doing their everyday thing. I guess what I'm saying is I love how authentic the sign can be.

There is some sort of level of confidence in them that they can stand on. I love it.

And yeah- I've just come to this conclusion that Capricorns, Geminis and Aquarius can just be weird? Like lol. Thier humor can be so weird and so out of the box sometimes- personality too. I feel when they are literally just being them, it is very inspiring to me imo.

Like i feel like you can have a dance off in the kitchen like this at 4am with them idk 😭:

N i guess its why I think these signs (Cap, Leo, Aqua, Aries, Sag) can usually be very sexy easily bc they r just so authentic n raw to me its kind of poetic like im twirling my hair rn n giggling 🤭

I feel like Leo, Aquarius and Scorpio can be like this when hurt:

"I'm so tall, can't get over me

I'm so low, can't get under me

I must be all these things

For I just threw out the love of my dreams"

Of course- when it comes to modality the four signs will obviously have something in common. What I mean with Leo Aqaurius and Scorpio is- they are just so- well- fixed. I noticed they try to act like they don't care about something- when they very much in fact do. You can't jump over them, you can't get under them- you can't get besides them, and like even if you did- it cannot really affect them that much anyway . . . -right? It feels like punching a stone made of jelly on the inside (literally so random- ik fren lmfao) I can punch a stone, It's fine- well not my knuckles ofc- they can be so hard when hurt. Sheesh. Only if you knew that you wobbled up that Jello a little bit on the inside. (Does that even make sense?)

And don't even try to pick up the stone- its too heavy. They ground themselves whatever philosophy they got going on in their noggin🥴🥴🥴🥴- no matter if its emotionally or whatever.

"He is in my eyes, he is in my ears

He is in my blood, he is in my tears

I breathe love, and see him everyday

Even though my love's a world away

Oh, he's got me wondering

My righteousness is crumbling"

It will bother them. And bother them. And bother them. And bother them. Bother them. And Aqaurius with think about it- try to bargain about it imo. Scorpio with feel a very fucking speicfic way about it and not say SHIT. 🙄😒 Leo's are so silly- they just try to act unfazed

but we easily know lol like ok girl-I'm sorry but there is something too whimsical/unserious about them to not know when somethings wrong 😭. But yes-back to the point. In short- its so annoying with them bc three gwrorlies dont just want to admit or submit to things at first. These three live off of cool down time !!! lmfao 🤣 you really got to give them a moment. Maybe a long time too. They care so much. Too much at times- like girl be calm.

I feel like they can do the most. They will do all sorts of things just to stand on something- or an idea or feeling that they had. It is hard for them to be wrong, or to lose. Sometimes I feel like these three need to learn how to truly let things be or go. Not everything has to be a chess game fren. ☹️💗 It like they feel they need to be a few steps ahead- they might feel ashamed or disappointed or sad or otherwise with them.

erm i have few more things to say but im literally tired of typing lol.

Ciao!!

as a folie a deux stan, would you share your thoughts & feelings about the album

A chance to ramble about one of my all-time faves?? ooOOO SAY LESS MY FRIEND ♥️🧸💛

I think Folie finding a place in my heart was a perfect storm — I’m a new fan falling into obsession with FOB during my mid-teens, and they’re starting to get into the hayday of the post-hiatus SR&R era. So of course, I’m looking through wiki pages, poking through fan pages, seeing interviews here and there (doing research for my sophomore year’s mandatory big research essay, and also satisfying my need to Know Everything™️ ), and I start wondering about how hiatus happened. What’s up with Folie? Why is it listed as not being well-received by fans and painful for the band (at that time)?

It becomes this situation where you’re handing 16-year-old me this misfit outcast album, one with bears on the cover (I’m predictable and easy to please shhhh) and an openly experimental vibe set apart from their previous work (more collaborative iirc, the four of them drawing on stuff they were inspired by to try new things). Pair that outcast magnetism (impulse to show love to wounded birds and rejected things) with lyrics that speak to the liminal space I existed in with my own adolescent identity (lyrics speaking to madness in complex dependent relationships, to not knowing yourself, to wanting to know yourself, to wanting to know the world, to trying to figure out morals and love and worth amidst your missteps and lost sense of self and unspeakable depression), and I was sunk. Listened to some YouTube video rip of the full album (or playlists that also included pavlove and lullabye) to fall asleep at night, while showering, really whenever I had a chance in my downtime (since I didn’t have headphones and listened to more of the futct/ioh/sr&r hit singles when with friends). Something about Pete’s devastating lyrical angst and Patrick/Joe/Andy’s artistry and the heavy feelings surrounding the album (from the minor bits the fans/public know about the time and the stories weaved throughout the album) started hitting in a specific way that had me imprinting on Folie and the band like a baby bird. Yeah, I started having that feeling of being understood by music with other bands (MCR, Paramore, P!atD, classic emo trinity stuff) along with some of the more pop punk stuff I was already into (PtV, ATL, you know the era), but for whatever reason, Folie maintained its place as my heart and soul album (along with Soul Punk for PStump-related reasons, but we’re not talking about her right now 🏃🏻‍♀️)

We’d be here all night if I tried to list favorite songs or lyrics, but I can ramble a bit about what hit me most when I started going “oh yeah, this is my album” as a teen:

I mean like, of course, right? “What a Catch, Donnie” is the pinnacle ballad, from all the lyrical callbacks and cameo features to the somber/hopeful music video, plus the interviews out there noting the song as lyrically important to the band. I think you can find stuff from back in that era (‘08-‘09) talking about it as almost a “swan song,” a final message that’s as close as you’ll get to personal convictions in a less-autobiographical album. For me, it felt like a love letter to their past selves in the unstoppable march forward in time. It felt like grief, the kind that comes with change and it’s inevitable losses, but it also felt like hope. Imagine not seeing goodness within you, not recognizing yourself, feeling stranded and pushed by the tides and not sure where you’ll end up. Then, imagine finding a lifeline through hanging on to someone else with the same type of stormy muddled mind, finding them and becoming their looking glass, their mirror, their guide — helping someone apathetic and listless find a spark again after giving up on themselves. It makes you wonder if you’ll find clarity through connection too, if you’ll be saved over and over again by people who see you and make sense of it all, or maybe don’t make it all better/comprehensible but care for you anyway. It became an anthem for me to hang onto my friends and budding new interests to help make me feel whole and keep going at a time where everything felt overwhelming and impossibly complicated (the curse of being 15/16/etc). Something about learning about hiatus, learning about the peaks and valleys of the band, looking at it all while having the fortune of knowing they find their ways back to each other to create more music and memories and get to keep growing together — that was big for me in a way I couldn’t articulate at the time but still felt deeply. We can be lost, but still found; flawed, but still loved. That’s important to hear when you’re stumbling through those early formative years, and important to be reminded of when we stumble through evolving our identities again and again and again.

There’s a lot of nostalgic love for the album now that I’ve held onto it for a decade, but it’s still so fun to revisit and holds up for me amidst all of the new music I listen to now. SM(f)S wriggled it’s way into my heart this past year and sits in there holding onto Folie’s hand, speaking on heavy themes and channeling that same motivation to experiment and create a legacy through music. Getting to see FOB live this year (!!!) playing Folie songs live (!!!!!) and eventually revisiting the whole album throughout the duration of tourdust (!!!!!!!) was an amazing experience, and it’s great to see Folie get her flowers in the many years since her release. Happy 15 years, Folie!! 🩵🐻💙

#folie a deux #late night catherine lore time #hold on let me just talk your ear off real quick <3 #tldr: I just think she’s neat #unrelated side note: folie a bleu recolor is so pretty. like yeah the original deep reds are everything but BLUE!!!!#song stuff #I should probably have a FOB tag. since. y’know. I’m so casual chill normal about them #anyway #thanks for asking!#celesteeal

Jane’s Pets Pt. 27: 911, What’s Your Emergency?

TWs in the tags

Masterlist

Sloppy bandages | Self done first aid | Makeshift splint

It’s familiar, having Dollie help you manage the wounds all over your body. It reminds you a lot of after your punishment for running away.

It’s different in a lot of ways, too. Kit isn’t avoiding you this time, and you can walk on your own, even if it hurts. You need help with a lot of things you wouldn’t normally need help with, especially with your broken fingers, but it’s not so bad with Kit and Dollie helping.

Dollie has started to take you on daily walks. Kit joins sometimes. The fresh air is nice, and you really missed the sun after so much time in the basement. It doesn’t even occur to you to run. You can get out of this, but that has to be through getting rid of Jane’s powers or killing her. Running won’t help.

Your body heals. You eat fresh, human food. You sleep in a bed. Jane makes threats and does things to make you uncomfortable, but at least you have Kit and Dollie again.

At first, you were too exhausted to have nightmares. You’d pass out the instant your head touched the pillow and sleep until someone managed to wake you up. But it was too good to last, and you’re back to waking up screaming at least once a night. Kit and Dollie comfort you through it.

You wish they’d let you take care of them the same way. Maybe eventually. Maybe when you’re strong enough to take punishment for them.

The more you heal, the more apparent it becomes that something’s wrong. Your wounds turn to scars and your bones mend, but you still have near constant headaches. You get dizzy out of nowhere, sometimes spending whole days in bed because walking makes you motion sick. Your ears ring in response to any loud noises.

It’s not a concussion. That would be healed by now. There’s something really wrong, something more wrong than normal.

Kit and Dollie help the best they can, but you’ve run out of ibuprofen and there’s only so much ice packs can do.

Through all of it, though, you’ve started to develop a plan. It’s frustratingly difficult, but eventually you have a plan that might work. Not a plan to escape, but a plan to inconvenience Jane. At the very least, it will help you figure out more about Jane’s powers.

You don’t tell the others about your plan. There’s always risk of Jane listening. So, when you tell Jane that you want to play the escape game, everyone is equally shocked.

“Bunny, you’ll get hurt.” Kit pleads.

“I know.”

They pause. “You really want to do this?”

You nod. Kit looks to Jane.

“Why don’t we make it more fun, then? Bunny gets 24 hours to run, like normal, but after that, you only get 24 hours to find him. If you can’t within the 24 hours, you leave him alone.” They’re clearly trying to look confident, but you can tell they’re nervous.

Jane hums thoughtfully. “I guess it’s more fun if there’s some actual challenge… Okay. Does that sound good to you, Bunny? Do you understand the rules? You know that, when I bring you back, you’ll still be punished for the escape attempt?”

“Yes, master.”

“Alright. Your time starts now.”

It takes it a second to sink in. You’re starting now.

You sprint out of the house. You have a lot to get done in 24 hours.

Getting to somewhere with people will be the hardest part, but you know it’s possible. Dollie buys the groceries and there’s no car, so there’s somewhere within walking distance with people. You head in the direction you see Dollie always go when she goes shopping and hope you’ll get to civilization quickly enough.

Jane said dealing with worried neighbors is inconvenient, and Kit says Jane can’t create things with her powers, only move them.

She must’ve put a bunch of effort into the house, if that’s the case. You doubt there’s any legal knowledge she’s out here, but there’s still water and electricity. The basement is a complex labyrinth and none of the doors in the house lock from the inside. If Kit is right, it must’ve taken a lot of effort to get that place set up. So if you could ruin this place for her, force her to start from scratch…

It’s not a perfect plan. Not even close. But you need something, some sort of win, even if it means you’ll get hurt. Your head hurts, but you keep running. You trip and get hurt over and over, but you keep running.

—

You were right, you were right! You stop, staring at the small town, before falling over.

Your head hurts and you’re dizzy, but you pull yourself back to your feet. You only have 24 hours. Less, now.

You run to the nearest house and pound on the door. The person who opens it seems annoyed at first, but that quickly gives way to concern. You must look pretty bad.

“I need! I need…” The world keels to the side. There was something important you were going to ask for, why can’t you remember?

The person at the door catches you before you fall. “Should I call an ambulance?“ they ask urgently.

“No!” That’ll just waste time. Wait, you’re not supposed to say no, you’ll get in trouble.

No, you’re in a town, you had a plan, you’re not in trouble yet. “Can I- can I borrow your phone?”

The stranger nods and hands you a phone. You shakily dial 911.

“911, what’s your emergency?”

“There’s- there’s this girl-“ You had a whole plan of what to say that they’d believe. Why can’t you remember it?

“I was kidnapped! I just managed to escape, but there are other people there still. Please, she’s dangerous, she has… weapons. Bad weapons. She’s planning to uh, to do something really bad, she has a bomb, she’s really dangerous and you need to bring. A lot of people. Please.”

There’s no doubt in your mind that Jane will manage to handle it, somehow. You’ll still be in her captivity in 48 hours. But she won’t have her fucking torture basement anymore. She’ll have to find somewhere new.

The operator asks where you are and you don’t know. You look to the stranger.

“Where am I?”

They give you the address, which you repeat to the operator. “It’s, it’s in the woods next to this house, to the…” you point to the woods helplessly. You’ve never been good with directions and right now your brain is fried.

“East.” The stranger supplies.

“East! It’s in the woods to the east of the address I gave you. Please hurry.”

The operator promises to do the best they can and asks if you’re okay to end the call.

“…yeah. Just hurry.”

The operator tells you help is on the way and ends the call.

You hand the phone back to the stranger. “Thank you. Do you have some bandages?”

—

The stranger let you into their house, which you weren’t expecting. You sit in one of their chairs and carefully bandage cuts you obtained in your wild run out of the woods. You… haven’t applied bandages to yourself, before. It’s harder than you expected. You also apparently need some level of balance to do well at applying bandages, because the dizziness makes it very difficult.

Your bandages come out extremely sloppy, but they’ll work for now.

You thank the stranger again and start to leave. They seem worried, but you brush them off and start running again.

You can’t waste the opportunity Kit gave you. You need to get as far away as you can. You still think she’ll find you, but you want to make it as hard as possible.

After a few minutes of running, you realize that you are not going to be able to run for 24 hours straight. You need a vehicle. You briefly consider stealing a car, but that would make you easier to find. You find the road that leads into the town, and then follow it until you spot someone driving in the direction away from Jane, and wave them down.

“Where are you headed?” The stranger asks.

“I… away? I just need to get as far away as possible. Not because I’m running from the law or anything.”

This does not make the stranger less suspicious. “Why do you need to get away, then?”

“I just… I only just escaped. From a place where I was getting tortured. Um, look.”

You roll up the sleeve of your left arm, revealing a bunch of nasty looking scars, including your brand. The stranger’s eyes widen.

“I called the police, but I still want to get as far away as possible. It’s kind of in the middle of nowhere, where I was being held, and I’m worried she’ll hunt me down and kill me before the police find her. Please.”

“Shouldn’t you be… with the police, if you want to be protected?”

“She’ll find me if I stay in one place, I need to move.”

The stranger sighs. “I guess I can give you a ride. I’m headed quite a ways away. I don’t really believe you, but it’s clear something’s happened.” They stare at your arm. “You want to ride shotgun?”

—

There’s a clock in the stranger’s car. You haven’t seen a clock in quite a while. You watch the minutes tick away and wonder how much time you have left.

The stranger repeatedly tries to start conversation with you, but you only give one word answers.

As your dizziness and headache fade a bit, you start to get suspicious. This person had no reason to help you, and in fact, shouldn’t have. You were acting extremely suspicious. Are they just going to bring you to another torture basement? Are they pretending to rescue you because that will make torturing you later funny?

It’s funny, the worst case scenario isn’t any worse than what you’re running from. They might as well torture you. It won’t be a huge change in the status quo.

Well, you wouldn’t have Kit and Dollie. That would suck. But Jane would probably find you anyway.

Hours pass before the stranger stops at a gas station.

“This is as far as I can take you. Are you going to be okay?”

You nod and hop out of the car. You’ll use the gas station bathroom and then come up with a better story for when you try to hitchhike again.

The sky is getting darker. You’re running out of time.

After you finish using the bathroom, you walk along the main road again. You want to get a ways away from the gas station before trying again. You’re… not sure why. It just seems right. Maybe you just need to stretch your legs.

A wave of dizziness overtakes you, and suddenly you’re on the ground and your wrist hurts in a very familiar way that brings tears to your eyes instantly.

She hasn’t broken your wrist, before, but you’ve gotten very familiar with the feeling of broken bones, and you know that’s what’s happened. You look around for a stick, and use one of the bandages you applied earlier to tie it to your wrist in what’s hopefully a good position. You scream as you adjust your wrist into place, almost falling over again. Your whole arm hurts. You try to ignore how gross reusing a bandage is.

The dizziness is starting to make even standing dangerous. Your body is working against you.

On the bright side, your makeshift splint will make people more likely to take pity on you and help you get away.

A/N: Let me know if I should tag anything else! Also, let me know if you want me to write something from the perspective of the strangers that help Liam in this chapter. I won’t be able to get to it until after whumptober, but I’m curious if anyone would be interested.

NSFW Alphabet: Kevin Magnussen.

a-aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Likes to wallow in the afterglow for a while but always asks what you’d like, a warm washcloth or a hot bath. Whatever it is Kevin will do it. Sometimes all aftercare is for you is a sleepy cuddle session.

b-body part (their favorite body part of their own and that of their partner’s)

K-Mag loves his legs,, since he came back into F1 he’s bulked up a bit particularly in the legs department. On you its your arse.

c-cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

Not fussy in the slightest, on your boobs, face in you Kevin doesn’t care but when you started trying for kids it was always inside.

d-dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

His first kiss was with a male school friend he used to play tennis with back in Denmark. In the early days of your relationship he told you this over a post dinner glass of wine and you think its cute AF.

e-experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Guy knows what he’s doing, can make you cum with the flick of his tongue or the twisting or his fingers. At the beginning of your relationship he asked what you were into and if you were game to try anything, from there you’ve grown together. He knows what gets you off and you know what gets him off.

f-favorite position (this goes without saying)

Doggy all-the-time. In the shower, in bed or a random quickie in his driver’s room it’s been his favourite position since he lost his virginity.

g-goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

Kevin is only goofy if there’s alcohol involved, when he’s drunk he’s giggly AF but even then in the moment he’s still serious. Usually its in the lead up to and post coitus that his goofy side comes out.

h-hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Used to be just closely trimmed but got a full back crack and sack wax on a dare once and liked the results so kept it going,

i-intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

His eyes bore into your soul in ‘the moment’ and if you’re not totally out of your mind with lust you feel the connection.

j-jack off (masturbation headcanon)

If he’s alone and in the mood sure he does it but much prefers your hand around his cock than his own.

k-kink (one or more of their kinks)

Kinda gets off on you telling him what to do. Not a sub as such, maybe kind of a soft dom switch.

l-location (favorite places to do the do)

Doesn’t care, if you’re down to get it on he’s down to get it on. Bedroom, bathroom, driver’s room (once you guys even did it in the carpark of the hotel you were staying in for the Monaco GP) location is irrelevant

m-motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

When you surprise him with some sexy lingerie, whether it be a cute little babydoll set or a slutty leather set. You in lingerie will get him harder than a rock in seconds.

n-no (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Physical violence. Smacking you on the arse in the heat of the moment and pinching your nipples is one thing but he will never ever slap, hit, shove or yank your hair roughly.

o-oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Loves a good gobby, especially from you. Of all the partners he’s ever had you’re the best he’s ever had at oral and because of your skill he’s always hinting he’d like a blowjob and you’re more than happy to oblige. Kevin’s not an asshole though and will always return the favour....in spades.

p-pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Depends on the context. Quickies are usually fast and rough but relaxed evenings at home or on holiday are usually slow, soft and sensual.

q-quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Will never turn down a quickie, KMag prefers to take his time with you but a quickie can be just as satisfying

r-risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

KMag isn’t especially risky but he’s open to ideas and is willing to experiment within reason.

s-stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

His record in a night of sexy times is four times but usually twice is enough for both of you. You’re both wrecked at the end of the night how ever many ties you do it.

t-toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Kevin doesn’t own anything personally but once whilst on holiday you found a local sex shop and bought a few things, handcuffs, a riding crop some clit and g-spot vibrators and they all get regular use, especially during an off race week.

u-unfair (how much they like to tease)

KMag loves to tease and when he’s in a teasing mood he’s a cheeky prick about it. One year you went to the FIA end of year awards dinner and he had his fingers in your knickers all night. He doesn’t do it often but when he does do it its magic.

v-volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Bellows like a stallion when you’re alone but with difficulty can restrict himself to a low grunt when you’re somewhere public or semi-public.

w-wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

In the off season he likes to see how long he can go without having to put on any clothes. His record is seven days straight.

x-x-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Average length, thick AF veiny and cut. You’ve never actually gotten used to his size in all the time you’ve been together. Hits all the right spots.

y-yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

When on track and in work mode sex is the last thing on Kevin’s mind but after a race weekend or he’s finished reading he last sheet of data from headquarters he’s all over you like a cheap suit. Dude has the sex drive of a mustang stallion in spring.

z-zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Doesn’t fall asleep quickly after doing the do unless your session has been particularly vigourous. He likes to cuddle and revel in the afterglow before going off to sleepy land.

Hey, look! It’s NORA SINCLAIR. Did you know they WORK as a EMERGENCY ROOM NURSE & MEDICAL STUDENT at KISMET HARBOR HOSPITAL ? I guess they’re from SAVANNAH, GA and have been in town for THREE AND A HALF YEARS, living in CRESTHILL MEADOWS. I also heard they’re a little STUBBORN, but also very LOYAL which definitely makes sense.

B I O G R A P H Y

Born in Savannah, Georgia to Emily and Major General Robert Bowen, Nora’s the quintessential middle child. In between an elder brother, Connor and a younger sister, Bethany, she always felt a little out-of-place, unsure of where she fit in the family dynamic.

The middle child conundrum was made even more apparent when her father decided to retire from the army and get a more lucrative job closer to home, moving the entire family to Boston, MA.

In spite of this, she never shied away from getting herself involved when it came to helping people, volunteering wherever she could outside of regular school hours, even at her local hospital which influenced her decision to go into nursing. This newfound passion lent itself very easily to her driven personality especially if it meant making her father proud.

She was introduced to her future husband, Noah, by his closest friend, her brother Connor, while she was still in high school. Despite being the envy of her friends whenever he'd pay the Bowen household a visit, she had always been seen herself as the “sweet younger sister”, always there for a family dinner and a few odd conversations afterwards but nothing more. Until a fateful last minute ski trip and a conveniently sprained ankle and everything changed. In spite of trying her best to keep things light, casual and nestled safely in the friendzone, the young lovers shared a little more than a few casual moments together and she soon found herself falling head over heels for the young Marine, promising him eternity when she was just a kid of twenty three herself.

Despite their worst critics, mainly her not-so-worldly grandmother, it wasn’t long at all before things started getting a little more serious between, starting with the happy couple moving in together as Nora chased her dreams of becoming a doctor, topped off with an engagement in front of their family and friends.

As the young couple were starting to plan their lives together, the Bowen clan had been shaken to its core. Her little sister had always been a handful even when she was little and Nora knew just how to placate her. Though now as a wily sixteen year old, she was a different person to her now. Someone she hardly recognised though that didn't stop her from wanting to protect her from everything the world threw at her. Her parents had relied on her patience and her kindness to the point where Nora failing was never an option especially in her father's eyes. If she couldn't be the best then she wouldn't even dare to try. So within a few months of pursuing her medical degree, Nora decided her best option would be to train as a nurse instead. It was a different path but it was a noble one nonetheless.

Freshly graduated as a registered nurse and newly engaged, Nora couldn't have felt happier with everything that was happening in her life. A surprise pregnancy unexpectedly lit up their world and set alight to a new chapter in their lives and she couldn't have imagined anything ruining things. Though it was only a matter of time before the rose-coloured glasses slipped from her face and reality truly sank in. She knew from her mother's own experience that separating from one's partner was perhaps the hardest thing she would ever have to endure. Yet as she said goodbye to her fiancé from the departure lounge, Nora's heart cracked into pieces as she realised how easily she'd slipped into her mother's shoes.

One morning while she was still trying to navigate Noah's departure, Nora started feeling a strange kind of uneasiness, nothing completely out of the ordinary but enough to keep her on her toes. It wasn’t until she started her afternoon shift at the hospital that everything seemed to change. a misjudged reach into the supply cupboard too far sent her in a heap to the floor and her friends scrambling to take her downstairs to the emergency department. It was only then when her entire collective world cracked open, torn apart with the three most terrible words in the English language. ‘ your baby’s gone ’. She couldn’t follow anything after that, hanging onto their muted apologies but failing miserably, her focus settled entirely on going home and shutting out the world so she could finally make sense of it all. As she struggled to make sense of their loss by herself, she knew Noah would rush back home on the first plane out to comfort her as soon as he learned what had happened. Which made her decision to keep his mind clear and free from distractions even more bittersweet and heart-breaking.

Once Noah finally made it home, she held herself together for as long as she could until her world collapsed inside of his arms, letting herself feel as much as she had sitting in the doctor's office, if not more knowing he was finally there and not a figment of her imagination. It was only a matter of weeks before he was shipping out again and she was left to her own devices with no third trimester to celebrate. Her mother suggested that she might benefit from talking everything through with a professional to make sense of it all which Nora took as the highest form of encouragement. Six weeks into her course of therapy and Nora was beginning to feel more like herself, ready and willing to start her journey. Until her entire world shifted off its axis and sent her spiralling yet again.

Her heart fell out of her chest as she heard of Noah's accident. She couldn't make sense of living in a world without him. Her soul belonged to him, her body was held together by his adoration and his words of affirmation hung on her mind like the finest woven tapestries. His body, weak and unconscious, was flown back home and Nora stood vigil by his bedside until he woke up, never leaving until his parents encouraged her to finally rest.

In 2019, after months of recuperation as Noah was honourably discharged, they decided to take the next step a little faster than expected and under the warmth of the European sun, Nora got to finally put on some sun-kissed variation of her mother's wedding dress and marry the man of her dreams under the watchful eyes of both their families.

Since moving to Kismet Harbor, starting a family of their own has been the most important thing on their minds. After their big European wedding, they’d tried everything to finally achieve their goal of becoming parents with no success whatsoever until the couple decided to release the pressure they put on themselves, take things a little easier and not think about it for a little while. Sure enough, those little pink lines gave them everything they could imagine and with little Ines, they've never been happier.

Personality wise, she’s extremely stubborn, not eager to let things drop until they’re settled in a diplomatic way, a trait stemming from her years of experience trying to placate her siblings whenever they'd be caught in a Monopoly-fuelled melee. She’s also not afraid to call things out when she feels like someone’s been mistreated and when it comes to her friends, her loyalty is not something to be taken for granted.

With her job being as stressful as it is, Nora tries her hardest to find new and interesting ways to blow off steam, ranging from reading in the bath with a glass of wine to throwing down some clay on the new pottery wheel her husband bought her. It can change weekly or even daily, depending on how much stress she's been under at work.

As a former army brat, Nora’s no stranger to moving around the country for her father but she’s happy to finally be settled in Cresthill Meadows with her husband, Noah and the rest of their family.

Guidelines of Golf defined: Do Ive to mark my ball when taking most well-liked lies aid?

Should you mark the spot first earlier than you decide up your ball? Our Guidelines of Golf knowledgeable has a solution which may shock you Winter guidelines are again! You realize the climate is beginning to flip when governing our bodies and counties put out their annual assertion permitting most well-liked lies on carefully mown areas till the spring. You don’t must me to offer you chapter and verse on the popular lies rule, also called Mannequin Native Rule E-3. Anybody who has been taking part in golf for any size of time is aware of what it’s for and the best way to do it. However, right here’s a conundrum for you – and one that will perk up your committees in the event that they’re those setting the phrases for most well-liked lies. Do you have to mark your ball first, be it with a tee peg or a ball-marker, earlier than you’re taking aid for most well-liked lies? Guidelines of Golf defined: Taking most well-liked lies aid No, not for the reason that new guidelines arrived in 2019. I’ll simply let that settle there for a second so you may all end gasping. Folks get this Native Rule a bit blended up with Rule 14.1 and conclude it’s a penalty shot in case you don’t mark your ball. However that’s not the case on this state of affairs and right here’s why. Rule 14.1a does certainly say that the spot of a ball to be lifted and changed should be marked. Nevertheless, that applies if you’re lifting a ball beneath a Rule “requiring the ball to get replaced on its unique spot”. That’s not what occurs if you take most well-liked lies aid beneath Mannequin Native Rule E-3. Whereas the reference level for taking aid is actually the spot of the unique ball, you might be inserting it in a aid space – for golf equipment in England that’s inside six inches from that reference level. So, you don’t have to switch the ball on its unique spot. If we go leap again to Rule 14.1a, it additionally doubles down on this stating that: “When a ball is lifted to take aid beneath a Rule, the participant shouldn’t be required to mark the spot earlier than lifting the ball.” However simply since you don’t HAVE to mark the ball, does that imply you shouldn’t? It’s actually good observe to take action. It additionally avoids dispute for a begin, say if a taking part in associate believes you’re pinching an additional inch or two. If you happen to haven’t marked the spot first, how will you make certain you’ve taken aid within the appropriate six-inch aid space? In case your ball isn’t in that space and then you definitely make a stroke, you’ve performed the ball from a incorrect place. Yet one more actually essential level. Be sure to don’t confuse this with one other very related Native Rule permitting you to carry, clear, and exchange your ball within the normal space. Mannequin Native Rule E-2 is designed for things like moist floor situations the place mud would possibly stick with ball. However on this case, the ball must be changed on its unique spot so the Native Rule explicitly says you’ve bought to mark the spot earlier than lifting the ball. As at all times, try the Native Guidelines and ensure precisely what you’re doing if you exit on the course. Have a query for our Guidelines of Golf knowledgeable? Regardless of the simplification of the Guidelines of Golf firstly of 2019, there are nonetheless some that depart us scratching our heads. And as I’ve handed the R&A’s Stage 3 guidelines examination with distinction, I’ll attempt to assist by that includes the very best on this column. 2023 NCG High 100s Tour Spring occasions now on sale!

Hi! How are you doing?

Could I request a NSFW alphabet for Jason Grace?

Thank you <3

pairing: jason grace (18+) x fem!reader

warnings: smut → NSFW alphabet

headcanon 🖤

•:•.•:•.•:•:•:•:•:•:•:• ☾ ☼ ☽ •:•.•:•.•:•:•:•:•:•:•:•

requests are open🖤

request guidelines✨

🌻masterlist🌻

smut night masterlist 💦

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

aww jason would be such a sweetheart

he'd clean you up, make you a cup of tea or any other beverage of your choice, would help you to the bathroom and help you back to the bed

he'd love to cuddle with you and watch tv while the two of you ate some snacks

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

loves your neck

jason's favourite thing to do in any normal circumstance is cuddle into you and press his face into your neck before kissing the skin

and during sex???

oh my, he'd bury his head on the hollow of your neck, releasing moans against your skin

would also be a sucker for hickeys oop

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

jason would love cumming inside you

whether that's deep within your pussy

or in your mouth

and would secretly have a thing for feeling your cum on his tongue - especially when he eats you out and he's fucking you with his tongue

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

even though he's a soft little thing, particularly with you lol, he wouldn't be able to admit to liking dirty talk

he'd do it, sure, but the way you react to it would be an absolute blessing to him

the way your back arches or hips raise, the whimper that would fall from your pretty lips - he would just relish in watching you respond to his dirty talk

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

honestly not much

you'd both be virgins before you met each other and he'd be super nervous to have sex with you (still is, but he's definitely more comfortable when you've been having sex for a while)

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

honestly, probably classic missionary

to be able to hold you close to him would be such a cute thing for him

he'd love to grind his hips into yours and have your legs wrapped around his waist

fuck and he'd love when you tighten your legs around him and pull him closer to you

and to be able to feel your thighs shake against him as you cum

oooh and to have your nails claw at his back!!!

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

yes omg he's super funny during sex

jason would love to make you as comfortable as possible

not only does it relieve the nerve you both feel, but sex can be pretty intimidating sometimes

and so by being able to make you laugh and be comfortable, it honestly makes the sex that much better

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

idk i'd say he's pretty groomed 🤷🏼‍♀️

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

super sweet!

big fan of holding hands and asking if you're okay

he'd be kissing you relentlessly all the time - when taking your clothes off, or making out, or fucking into you

even if you both were trying out new kinks, he would be so cute about it and, again, make sure you're okay (that's honestly his number 1 priority)

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

lol yeah i mean he's a young guy with crazy hormones you kind of have to expect that

he'd never expect you to get him off all the time though, like he's more than happy to do it himself

especially if you guys + the others are on a quest and you're super tired

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

dom!! though he's super sweet, especially in bed, i can imagine him still being a huge dom (also a switch too but prefers to be a dom)

light bondage

dirty talk

honestly maybe a bit of Voyeurism too - like he'd love to watch you get yourself off. this is particuarly true when he's fucking you and you reach a hand down to rub your clit

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

shower

cabin

motel / hotel room when you guys are on a quest lol (& would find it hot when you're struggling to keep quiet bc you know the others are next door)

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

seeing you fight a monster omg!!

with your weapon of choice and having complete control of it

bonus points when you and him team up to fight the monster together!!!

would love when you back him up on arguments he has with authority about treating people fairly - or just when you back him up in general lol

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

degrading - i think one of his fears is hurting you and would hate to call you degrading names

probably anal too lol

would also never force you to have sex with him. like i mentioned before, if you were super tired or just not in the mood in general, he'd respect that (& would get himself off if he really had too)

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

neither of you care really too much of who's the bigger receiver or giver

both of you are pretty much equal when it comes to that

but when jason goes down on you

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

it's between rough and slow

he'd love slow and rough thrusts, where both of you are moaning into each other's mouths and the bed squeaking underneath you

but jason would also love when he's rough and fast - the thrill he gets when you're screaming and crying out for him

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

yes!

like i said before, this is particular true when being on a quest together lol

or even after training in either one of your cabins

or even in your apartment before work

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

yeah i'd say so

i mean both of you were virgins when you first got together so it's kind of a given that you'd experiment lmao

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

i'd say maybe 1 round but could spend hours overstimulating you

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

i think the only toys he'd have would be handcuffs tbh

he'd probably prefer to get you off himself and not from some toy like a vibrator lol

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

jason would love teasing you but couldn't handle the wait so he'd just devour your pussy then fuck you ahah

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

i'd say pretty loud

lots of cute moans and grunts that would be muffled into your neck and mouth

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

seeing you in lingerie and jason's just like :o

and purposefully buying cute sets or body suits just so he can fuck you in it

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

i'd say maybe below average??

not too much but still a good size & would definitely know how to use it lol

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

lol both of you would be pretty hormonal and would have a high sex drive so i'd say yes to this lol

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

lol pretty quickly lol

like with aftercare, you guys wouldn't even get through 10 minutes of the show you'd be watching before he's already asleep oop

Don’t Mess With The Queen

Characters: Klaus Mikaelson x Hybrid!Reader

Word count: ~1.7k

Warnings: none

Request by anonymous: Could u do a imagine where the reader is friends with the mystic falls gang and is a werewolf and finds out that she and klaus r mates?

Summary: People who you want to call your friends are planning on killing the love of your life. It’s your job to show them who’s really the boss.

Author’s Note: This is a female!reader. I did change this request a tad, but I hope you like it! I haven’t written for TVD in a while now, so please bear with me on this. After asking a few people, I have decided to end this on a fluffy note. I did write an angsty alternate ending, but I don’t know if the anon who requested wanted that or not.

No one knows why you’re really here. They all think you’re their friend, so they feel comfortable disclosing their plan right in front of you. You want to be friends with them because they seem like genuinely nice people, but they are so fueled by rage and revenge that they’ll do anything to get it… even plotting against your mate, your sire, the love of your life.

Stefan and Damon have spent their entire life fighting each other and putting their noses in places where it doesn’t belong. Elena and Caroline have always been the people who want to fix others, to make them better even if there is nothing wrong with them. Bonnie is always stuck in the middle of everyone’s problems, putting herself and others in danger for no reason.

“So, what’s the plan here?” Elena asks, taking out the last bit of weapons she has stashed in the Boarding House.

“First thing we need to do is pick a location. When is Klaus most vulnerable?” Stefan asks.

“Yeah, the last time we did that, Elijah betrayed us. That moonrock or whatever was our only chance to get him at his weakest.”

“You were one of Klaus’ bitches. What do you think?” Damon asks and turns to you.

“What?” you ask, pulling back from your own thoughts.

“You spent over two years sired to him before Tyler saved you. You must know things that can help here,” Elena says.

What she says is true. You were sired to Klaus for two years, but not in the way they believe. You were sired to him in the beginning when you were first turned by Klaus’ mother. You were a werewolf that was in the same village as Klaus and his family. You two became fast friends, always leaning on each other whenever his abusive father and your abusive mother decided to make you two their toys.

Everything was going fine until one of your own decided to kill the youngest member of the Mikaelson family. There was a family friend of Esther, Tatia, that she used her blood in a spell that would make them the Original vampires. Klaus wanted you to have the same thing, so without his parents knowing, he gave you some of that wine. You were the first-ever turned hybrid that came from a spell.

You and Klaus have spent every moment together ever since. What the gang of Mystic Falls doesn’t know is just how old you are. They think you were just another hybrid that he made with Elena’s blood, stuck with him against your will. Tyler found your pack in the mountains and proceeded to unsire every single one of Klaus’ hybrids. When Tyler got to you, that’s when you started to catch onto what he was doing.

If Tyler wanted to desperately to save you, then you were going to act like you wanted to be saved. You came to Mystic Falls and befriended the vampires in the town. Now, they all think that you hate Klaus as much as they do when really, you’re just as in love with him as you were when you first met him.

“He really liked hiding out in the woods, though, they’re usually on werewolf territory, so good luck trying to get there. It’s probably why you can never find him. The werewolves will get to you before he does. He hears chatter in the wind and he moves to another pack site.”

“That’s smart,” Caroline comments.

“Yeah, so you’re not going to find him there.”

“Guys, we need to figure out something, or else more people are going to get hurt,” Elena says. Sometimes, you really want to kill her so you don’t have to hear her speak. “Klaus needs to die.”

Hearing them talk about killing the love of your life enrages you a little bit. You could take every single person in here without breaking a sweat, but you don’t turn to violence just yet. You take out your phone to let Klaus know exactly what they’re planning. You’d be a bad girlfriend if you let them attack without warning him.

They’re planning on killing you, my love.

It’s cute if they think they can.

They seem hell-bent on figuring it out.

I’m not afraid of them if that’s what you’re worried about. They can’t hurt me even with their best player.

I’m worried someone is going to get very hurt. What should I tell them?

Tell them where I am. Let them come. If it’s a war they want, I’m only happy to provide.

Are you sure?

I’m always sure, love.

You put your phone away and look at the small group, getting up to join the elite circle.

“I do know where Klaus lives.”

“That would have been nice to know a little earlier, don’t you think?” Damon sneers.

“Damon, don’t,” Stefan butts in. “Where is he?”

“New Orleans. That place is crawling with witches and vampires, but he and his family are stationed there.”

“How do you know this?”

“Because he took me there once. The witches will know once you arrive, but most of them are scared of Klaus anyway that they’ll help you blend in. Everyone from that town knows the Mikaelsons are royalty, but their castle doesn’t have a lot of guards protecting it. If you want to get to him, that’s where you want to do it.”

“How do you know all of this? This seems awfully suspicious for someone who isn’t sired to him anymore.”

“He still thinks I am. He’ll call me every day and ask for something. He figures if he has a hybrid in another state that I can do his dirty work for him elsewhere. You want to get Klaus? That’s how you’re going to do it.”

“She does have a point. Better to take this fight to his turf than ours. He’s more comfortable there,” Stefan points out.

Now that they know a location, it didn’t take long for them to come up with a plan of attack. Of course, you told everything to Klaus as soon as you were on the plane to get to New Orleans. He told you not to worry about a thing because he’ll plan a little something for their arrival.

No one messes with the King and his Queen.

When you land in New Orleans, the gang is eager to carry out their plan of attack. Just like you said, the town is crawling with witches who sense you the minute you landed. Every single witch knows you by heart, so they’re confused why you’re with them and not with Klaus. Your love must have only told them the basic information instead of what was really going on.

“Okay, where is this son of a bitch?” Damon asks.

“The French Quarter is where he likes to hang out. You’ll want to start there. Caroline and Elena will blend in more since they’ve never been here, but you two might stick out like a sore thumb. Just be prepared. If anything, I know these guys so let me do the talking.” You pause right in front of the group and turn to Bonnie. “And Bonnie? These guys know you’re a Bennett witch. Try not to do magic unless absolutely necessary. Klaus has a thing with witches.”

You lead the group into the French Quarter while keeping your head down to avoid conflict. The group follows your lead until you reach the middle of the place you call home.

“Stay here,” you say and leave the group on your own.

You approach the small bar within the Quarter, and lean over the counter a tad, looking at the bartender.

“Is Klaus here?”

“I’m right here,” you hear your lover’s voice. You and the Mystic Falls gang turn to see him standing in one of the many doorways that enter the French Quarter. “I hear you’re looking for me?”

“Where in the world did you hear that?” Damon asks, giving you a side glare. You step away from the group and speed over to Klaus, standing just a tad behind him. He smirks and doesn’t break eye contact with the older brother. “Traitor.”

“It isn’t a betrayal if I was never on your side to begin with,” you state.

“What are you doing? You’re not sired to him anymore,” Stefan tries to appeal to you.

“My sire bond wore off in the tenth century. I’m a lot older than you think I am. I really did want to be your friend, but you’re all so driven by rage and revenge that you can’t leave us alone until we’re fixed to the standards set by you. Next time you plan to kill someone, you should think twice about who you let into your home.”

“We should get going,” Elena whispers.

“Always the level-headed one, Elena. Too bad you can’t,” Klaus grins.

Stefan and Damon try to leave using their vampire speed, but they are blocked by the spell put there from the witches in this town. It’s like a big spell to trap the four vampires and the one witch inside. Caroline steps into the sun and immediately screams in pain, seeking the shade to calm her burning skin.

“My daylight ring isn’t working.”

“Yes, you’re all trapped here. For how long is still yet to be determined. Welcome to the French Quarter ladies and gentlemen,” Klaus chuckles.

“I can’t use my magic,” Bonnie panics.

“The next time you even think about going after Klaus, I won’t be so nice,” you say.

Klaus wraps an arm around your shoulders and pulls you close, whispering something into your ear.

“Pardon us, we have other business to tend to.”

Klaus leads you away from the group, and only when you two are alone, does he turn you so that you’re facing him.

“You can relax, Klaus, no one is going to hurt you. Not as long as I am alive.”

“I can take care of myself, love,” he chuckles.

“Yeah, but isn’t it better when I do it?”

“Tenfold.”

“Always and forever, my love,” you whisper.

You lean in and press your lips to his, showing him just how much you love him.
