taylorslistofexlovers asked:
32 + pynch? (For the prompt thing)
32. "what do you mean you're not attractive whatthefuck"
"Why do you like me?" Adam's voice cut through the dark of The Barns, exhaustion and the comfortable familiarity of Ronan next to him letting his Henrietta accent make an appearance. Adam had wondered what Ronan saw in him since the first time Ronan's gaze had lingered too long, something Adam didn't recognize in his eyes. Adam had since learned the expression as the same one Ronan wore for Matthew, for Opal, unguarded, unpostured: love. But still, Adam wanted to know why Ronan had chosen him. Adam's question had been self-deprecating, once, but now it was simply curious.
"Who says I like you?" Ronan shot back, the words losing their would-be venom as he was mumbling into a pillow. Adam laughed, tangling their fingers together under the blankets.
"Whatever. If you did like me," Adam punctuated this with an eye roll. "What would you like about me? I mean, I'm not attractive." Adam knew this wasn't necessarily true, that some people found the strangeness of his features beautiful, but he didn't know what Ronan thought.
Ronan sat bolt upright at Adam's words and surveyed him incredulously. "The fuck, Adam? What do you mean you're not attractive whatthefuck! Do you own a mirror? I know you do, I've been to your shitty apartment, and there's definitely a few at The Barns."
Ronan's reaction sent a flush through Adam's cheeks, and he tugged Ronan back down to the mattress. "I'm not," Adam protested. "Not like you or Gansey or Blue."
Ronan snorted. "Jesus God, I'm glad you're not attractive like Sargent. She's not my type at all. As for what I like about you, I can think of a few things, I guess." Adam closed his eyes as he listened to Ronan talk, feeling a smile spread across his face. They lay close enough that their shoulders touched, and Adam could feel the way Ronan's body moved as spoke, gesturing. He could think of a few things he liked about Ronan, too.
Advance America
Captain America: The Winter Soldier CS AU.
Note: This is only part one, of who knows how many parts. I've been working on this for over a year, and have purposely avoided reading all variations on Captain America CS aus within the fandom. Dunno when the next part will be ready, but, well. This is a project near and dear to my heart. So it's definitely not going to be abandoned. Shout out to @swallowedsong for encouraging me to post, @alchemistc who I've been telling about this for ages, and AU week in general for rallying us all together and inspiring so many wonderful works.
Title from the song "Dead Hearts" by Stars.
He wakes up fuzzy, warm and cold all at once, head pounding and tongue heavy in his mouth, like he's swallowed sand that tastes like the worst toothpaste he's ever tasted in his life.
He wakes up and he notices several things in quick succession:
The bed beneath him is strangely soft.
His clothes are strangely tight and unstarched.
The air feels stuffy and fake.
The game on the radio is several years old. He knows this because he was at that game with Liam.
He sits up and he knows—he knows that something is very, very wrong.
(The last thing he remembers is a plane, and cold, and water, and her and—
"I'm gonna need a raincheck on that dance."
"All right. A week next Saturday at the Rabbit Hole."
"You got it."
"8 o'clock on the dot. Don't you dare be late. Understood?"
"You know I still don't know how to dance."
"I'll show you how. Just be there."
"We'll have the band play something slow."
"Killian? K—")
"Captain Jones."
He pulls himself out of his thoughts and glances up at the woman who's just walked in. Something about her is off, too. Everything is wrong.
"Where am I?"
"A recovery room in New York City," she answers with a smile. Her uniform is right—like the one he'd seen Emma wear (Emma) but—
"No. Where am I, really?"
Her smile falters.
"I don't understand."
Well, he thinks darkly. That makes two of us.
The minimum story length for the Cap-IM BB is 25,000 words. Considering that I ended up with 120,000 words for the last BB and 110,000 words for the RBB this year, I thought it might be refreshingly different to try to write something that comes in closer to the minimum length. A smaller Big Bang, if you will. A bit of a break.
I don't have it all plotted, but I started writing a few hours ago.
I have 2,000 words and Steve is not even in the story yet. Tony does not know Steve exists. No one has said Steve's name.
Dammit, self, I wanted to write something short.
Promt; First Date
Warnings; Four idiots in a park
Sitting down on the blanket, Hanamaki presents the basket full of food with a small 'ta-daa!' The others all give him confused looks, until Matsukawa reaches over and takes the basket. He takes the food out, placing it on the blanket as Hanamaki continues to beam.
"Is Makki okay?" Oikawa whispers to the other two, sending him a wary glance, "he seems…cocky, for some reason," he mumbles, knowing that Hanamaki can hear him.
Ignoring Hanamaki's offended gasp, Matsukawa shrugs his shoulders, "He probably ate something bad and is trying not to show that he's in pain."
"Well, whatever it is, I don't care. Let's just eat," Iwaizumi says, pulling some of the food over to himself. The only one who doesn't start eating right away is Hanamaki. Instead, he practically vibrates on the spot, eyes wide as he watches them take their first bites.
"Okay, I can't eat with you staring at me like that," Iwaizumi sighs, setting his food down.
"Well, I can, this food is fucking fantastic," Matsukawa says, shoveling more food into his mouth. Oikawa hums in agreement, too busy eating to say anything.
"So, it's good? Right? The food?" Hanamaki asks, eyes growing wide as he waits for their answer.
"Yes…it is. Why?" Iwaizumi asks, looking down at the food.
"You have to tell me where you bought this stuff," Oikawa says after swallowing his bite of food, begging Hanamaki with his eyes.
A small laugh escapes Hanamaki's lips as he reaches over, grabbing some of the food, "I didn't buy it."
"Well, then tell your mom she's a fucking amazing cook," Matsukawa says.
"Yeah, I would, if she was the one who made it."
They all fall silent, all wearing different looks of shock and disbelief. "You mean…you made all of this?" Iwaizumi whispers in disbelief.
Hanamaki's smile widens as he beams, nodding his head, "Yup! I stayed up till two in the morning!"
"Holy shit, Makki," Matsukawa laughs, shaking his head. "I knew you could cook but damn."
Hanamaki smiles even more (if that's even humanly possible) and stuffs a cream puff in his mouth.
The four all fall into comfortable conversation, talking about anything and everything that comes to mind. At one point, Oikawa wheezes so much that he starts to choke. Iwaizumi has to slam his hand on his back to help him. Matsukawa is the one to freak out when he starts to choke, so he throws his water bottle at Oikawa in hopes that it will help. By that point, Hanamaki is clutching his stomach, desperately trying to breathe as well.
That's when the goose waddles over.
Iwaizumi instantly stops listening to Oikawa telling a tale of some alien dog story, and focuses on the animal.
Matsukawa sees the look that appears in Iwaizumi's eye. "Iwaizumi," he sighs, "please don't provoke the goose."
Of course, he doesn't listen. Instead, he grabs the food closest to him and slowly eats it. The goose honks, causing Hanamaki to look over and Oikawa to stop his story. They watch as the goose steps forward, honking towards Iwaizumi. In reply, Iwaizumi narrows his eyes and takes very slow bites of his food.
"Oh my god, Iwa-chan!" Oikawa says, placing a hand over his heart, "I can not believe you're teasing an innocent goose!"
Iwaizumi only huffs, and continues to eat the food. He hates geese. So much. Fuck them, honestly.
"Okay, this poor guy, I can't watch this," Hanamaki says, digging through the basket until he finds some bread. He then hands some to Oikawa, and both of them turn their attention to the hungry bird.
"Guys, we're not supposed to feed the animals-" Matsukawa, trying his hardest to be the responsible one for once, groans.
"No one will know," Oikawa says as he tears the bread into small parts, shooting Matsukawa a smile that says 'don't worry about it.'
Matsukawa watches as Hanamaki and Oikawa begin to throw the food, and the goose honks happily as it gobbles up the food. "Wait, don't feed it! It's evil!" Iwaizumi hisses, glaring daggers at the bird.
Hanamaki rolls his eyes as he throws the last of his bread, frowning as he sees that they're out of food. "You're all pigs. I brought so much food…"
That's when the goose takes another step forward, honking as if it was asking for more. "I'm sorry, little guy, we don't have any more," Oikawa apologizes.
"Little?" Matsukawa mumbles, raising an eyebrow.
Hanamaki suddenly stands up, waving his arms. "Okay, please go now! We fed you, we loved you, what more do you want?" he asks the goose, shooing it away. It honks in reply, reaching its head forward to nip at Hanamaki. With a squeak, he jumps back, barely dodging the beak. "Woah, hold on-"
None of them know exactly how it happens, but the next thing they know, Oikawa and Hanamaki are racing down the small hill to get away from the goose. One goose turns to two, then three, then there's a whole flock chasing them around the pond.
"As much as I love watching this," Iwaizumi says, watching as one of the geese strains its neck, nipping at Hanamaki's ankle. The yelp is heard all the way where he's standing with Matsukawa. "I think we should get going before it starts raining," he says, pointing towards the sky. Matsukawa tilts his head upwards, blinking in surprise. When did those clouds get there?
Matsukawa watches as Oikawa squeaks in fear, scooping Hanamaki into his arms. He throws the male over his shoulder, gives one last look to the animals, and fucking bolts.
"Yeah, I have a feeling we lost them," he chuckles, bending down to grab the basket. They both quickly pick up their mess before grabbing their stuff and jogging down the hill.
Only for the sky to open up, rain pouring down like tears. A curse passes through Iwaizumi's lips, and he reaches out to grab Matsukawa's hand, lacing their fingers together. "So I don't lose you," he mumbles, tugging him through the downpour. Matsukawa only smirks, but doesn't say anything as he lets himself be dragged.
They search for a total of ten minutes before they stumble across Hanamaki and Oikawa basically holding each other up, bodies shaking violently with laughter. Iwaizumi quickly runs up to them, Matsukawa right behind him.
"You idiots are going to get sick," Matsukawa sighs, shaking his head. He takes the still wet blanket from out of the basket, throwing it over their heads. Iwaizumi then places one hand on each other their backs, pushing them forward.
"Come on, Makki's house it the nearest," he says, glancing down at Hanamaki's ankle. It's bleeding from where the goose had bitten him, but it doesn't seem too bad.
"Alright, you guys are so slow," Matsukawa sighs dramatically, running a hand through his wet hair. He then, without warning, places an arm around Oikawa's knees, and one around his back. He then lifts him up into him arms, and runs off, ignoring Oikawa's squawk of disbelief.
Hanamaki rolls his eyes as he wraps the blanket around his shoulders, watching as they disappear into the distance. He glances at Iwaizumi, only to freeze. "No."
"Yes," Iwaizumi grins, reaching out. Hanamaki jumps back, only to slip on the wet ground. Iwaizumi grabs his wrist to keep him from falling, then yanks him forward. He then throws Hanamaki over his shoulder, and runs off after Matsukawa.
"I'm only allowing this because you have a nice ass!" Hanamaki shouts over the rain, eyeing said ass.
Excluding running away from geese and running through the rain, Hanamaki has to admit that it was a pretty good first date.

Alright. Here is the master post for my three clone OC sons. If you ever want to ask questions or talk about them to me. PLEASE DO.
Trio of ARCs.Work in perfect unison together. Almost seem telepathic to outsiders.
Sanctioned by Jango himself.
Mischief (Captain) CT-8112
Built like a brick wall, for those so inclined, thicc might be a good word for him.
Standard flat top haircut with three horizontal lines shaved into both sides.
Has the same three lines tattooed over his heart.
Other descriptors:
Very quiet. Only talks when necessary, or actually wants to talk (which is not often to anyone besides his batch brothers).
Feels responsible for his two brothers. Very protective of them.
Not technically a medic, but took as much training as possible knowing that the three of them would be on missions alone a lot of the time. Wanted to make sure he could care for them if either of them got hurt.
Rabble (Lieutenant) CT-6110
About as much of a runt as a clone can be. Almost a head shorter.
Has an undercut, with the top being a bit longer and more uneven than traditional flat top.
Has the three horizontal lines tattooed behind his left ear.
Armor is cobbled together from many different parts. Sanded down to fit him because he is too small. Even hand sewn his own kama.
Other descriptors:
Extraordinary shot with any firearm but especially as a sniper. Can hit a target from further away with more accuracy that almost any other clone recorded.
Loves to talk.
Very good with knives (doesn't like vibroblades). Has a set (or two) of throwing knives.
Hones his knives in downtime to keep his hands busy. The noise is actually comforting to all three of them.
Ruckus (Lieutenant) CT-2509
Same height as most clones, but much leaner than Mischief.
Has buzzed hair (less of a fire hazard)
Missing an eyebrow (burned off and never grew back)
Has the three lines tattooed as bands around his upper forearm just below the elbow.
Other descriptors:
Demolitions. Very good. Can make a bomb out of almost anything. And can diffuse almost anything as well.
Rabble teaches him to use the knives. They end up doing juggling and throwing performances for civvies when so inclined.
Also learns basic medic procedures, knowing that Mischief did as well.
Has a dry wit but also loves innuendo.
Tony Stark is born in 1940. The first thing he remembers is the death of Captain America. Growing up, he makes his way through a rapidly-changing world, a world shaped by Captain America's absence – but he couldn't have ever imagined the path that his life would take.
My last fic for my Cap-IM Bingo card (the square is that v3 panel of Tony dressed as Cap), a story where early canon is actually the 1960s, for once. Thanks to @einheriar, @teatotally, and @somnolentbear for their help.
Read Younger Than Yesterday on AO3 (7856 words)
i actually have an AO3 but i'm too lazy to put anything up there shhh
anyway, here's the first story for this kylux modern witch/vampire au my friend @waluouija-board and i created, based off the works of @space-emos and probably several other talented artists/writers (please!!! tell me who they are so i can tag them appropriately!! i'd hate to leave anyone out) :)
in which hux is a pretentious vampire asshat and kylo is a clueless awkward witch (basically, no one will room with hux bc of his weird-ass sleeping habits, so he puts an ad out in the local newspaper and kylo accepts bc it's cheap af. kylo is an actual witch but he hides behind the 'new age-y' guise to keep his cover. i'll elaborate on this later i promise)
i hope this makes sense
Kylo thanked the landlord and accepted his keys, shouldering his backpack and heading up the stairs to his new apartment. His roommate was some guy called— Arthur? Archie? Armitage— yes, Kylo thought it was Armitage— Hux. Hux had advertised for someone to share his apartment with, preferably someone who could deal with 'late nights and a tendency to sleep in'. Kylo didn't mind— he had a part-time job at the local second-hand bookstore, which granted him odd hours anyway. This Hux guy staying up late wouldn't bother him in the least.
Kylo had reached the first floor of the apartment, and he wandered along the landing until he found the door— 14C, the one at the very end. Kylo had picked that one out specifically for his plethora of potted plants (mainly edible herbs, though he wouldn't admit it under pain of death; there was a certain element of mystery to random smelly plants everywhere, he thought), which he could leave on the windowsills. He hoped Hux wouldn't mind.
As he neared the door, Kylo felt something in the air change. He stopped walking and frowned. He glanced around; nothing on the landing was out of place, so why did he feel so… off? Kylo shook his head, reaching up to fiddle with his necklaces, clutching at the stones— crystal and amethyst this time, for clarity of mind and awareness of his surroundings. He took a deep breath and turned the key in the door, swinging it open.
The apartment was darker than he expected, especially for one with such large windows. Kylo stepped into the foyer, which was connected to the kitchen. It was a very nice apartment, he thought to himself; when he'd first seen it online, he hadn't bothered looking at the price, thinking it was miles out of his range. A second glance proved him wrong, but Kylo was still skeptical— maybe the lights didn't work, or there was no air conditioning. There was no way something this nice could be so cheap.
The kitchen was probably bigger than his entire previous apartment— a huge island in the middle, oven, dishwasher, cupboards— all the essentials, and very nice editions of said essentials, too. One of those huge industrial-grade fridges that was big enough to hide a body upright in (and probably dispensed ice). Kylo craned his neck and saw the living room; unsurprisingly, it too was very well furnished, with expensive-looking chairs, a coffee table, a flatscreen television and a couch.
Kylo wondered suddenly where his roommate was, then chided himself— Hux was probably sleeping, if his ad had been at all accurate. The thick, drawn curtains and switched-off lights supported this. Kylo cleared his throat.
"Hello? Uh, it's Armitage Hux, right?" He walked into the kitchen, pulling his suitcase along with him.
"Uhm, sorry for waking you up… if you're um, asleep. I'm your new roommate? Kylo—"
"Ren," came a voice. Kylo jumped, his gaze snapping over to the hallway next to the living room.
A young man stood in the hallway, not much older than Kylo. He had a shock of red hair and narrowed blue-green eyes, and wore a dress shirt and trousers. He crossed his arms over his chest, eyeing Kylo intently. Kylo swallowed. Something about this guy made him nervous, though he couldn't quite place it. Perhaps it was the way he looked at Kylo like he was a piece of meat, and not a human. Kylo swallowed again.
"You must be Hux." He put his hand out. Hux didn't take it.
"And you must be Kylo." Hux had an accent that Kylo couldn't place. He lowered his hand, feeling sweat trickle down the back of his neck.
"Yeah. This is a… really nice apartment," Kylo tried awkwardly, still a good twenty feet away from Hux. He wanted to keep it that way— his roommate gave him the creeps. Hux nodded.
"It is. I expect you to keep it clean, or I will remove whatever is causing the mess. That includes you."
Kylo blinked. "Um, okay. I've got some plants, but they're the windowsill ones—"
"That will be fine," Hux interrupted, still staring at Kylo. His hair was very distracting— combed perfectly into place and very, very bright— Kylo wondered if he used dye.
Hux's lips quirked up in a smirk; Kylo caught a glimpse of one, very long fang tooth. His eyes widened.
Both men shared a drawn-out silence.
Kylo took a deep, breath, trying to pinpoint why he felt so… on edge (maybe it was the teeth? Normal humans didn't have teeth like that, Kylo was sure of it). If Hux wasn't going to tell him, he'd have to find out himself.
He bit his lip and concentrated, reaching out with his mind, like he'd practised countless times with his uncle, Luke. He felt the edges Hux's mind and pushed gently against it, expecting to find resistance, but, curiously, detecting none. Kylo sucked in a breath as the realisation came to him in a rush; he withdrew from Hux's mind as quickly as he could and grabbed the kitchen counter for support. No way. No way in hell—
He looked over at the hallway, expecting to find Hux there. But his roommate was gone.
Kylo shrieked and stumbled away from Hux, who was suddenly inches from his ear. He felt himself slipping, falling, and landed on the kitchen floor with a grunt, scrambling back, as far away from Hux as he could manage. Hux, on the other hand, didn't move, although his lips twisted into a smirk again, wider this time.
"Y-you were— you were i-in the hallway," Kylo stammered, putting a hand over his heart, which felt like it was about to jackhammer its way out of his chest. "You were in t-the hallway b-but you—"
"Moved, yes, fantastic observation," Hux told him dryly. "And from your somewhat obvious intrusion of my mind I'm sure you've put the pieces together, yes?" He gazed at Kylo cooly, watching as the young man picked himself up off the floor with a huff. Kylo's jaw dropped open.
"You knew… you knew I was reading your mind?"
Hux snorted. "Of course. I know a witch when I see one."
Kylo began a string of protests, then stopped when he saw Hux's face. Clearly, this man couldn't be fooled easily.
"So, you're a vampire," Kylo cringed at himself even as he said it. It was so ridiculous, so impossible… And yet, here Hux stood, pale skin, fangs, inhuman speed and all, right in front of him. Kylo shook his head, wondering if he was hallucinating. Hux nodded, interrupting his thoughts.
"Yes. And you're a witch."
Kylo coughed awkwardly. "Yeah. Yeah, I guess I am." He touched his necklaces again, hoping the stones would give him peace of mind. They didn't.
Hux had moved again; Kylo found him on the couch in the living room, legs crossed, staring at him again. Hux motioned for Kylo to sit. Kylo walked over and sat, leaving his suitcase and backpack in the kitchen.
Hux leaned forward and laced his fingers together, eyes not leaving Kylo's face. He felt himself flushing red and looked away awkwardly.
"I've met a few witches," Hux murmured, "But not in the twenty-first century. You're so different from the others…" He reached out as if to touch Kylo's cheek, then pulled away, the odd look in his eyes gone.
"I, uhm, I'd better get my stuff unpacked," Kylo stuttered, standing up quickly and hitting his knee on the coffee table in the process. He cursed under his breath and hobbled back to the kitchen, calling out, "Is the bedroom down the hall?"
He received no reply.
Muttering more curses under his breath and a mental note to hex his new roommate the first chance he got, Kylo dragged his suitcase down the hall, feeling Hux's eyes on his back as he went.
This was going to be a long year.
Oh hey none of the SDCC spoilers I've seen so far contradict my vague yearly attempt at summer long fic
in this case vaguely post early season 12 drama on the deeply flawed assumption nothing else will go wrong after they get Sam back and are used to having Mary around
maybe I'll actually start posting it :P
A year after their captivity, Steve and Tony reclaim the rest of their lives together.
This is an epilogue to Living on Your Breath, the Cap-IM Reverse Bang story that I wrote for @phoenixmetaphor's excellent art. While I had a lot of fun writing the RBB, I acknowledge that I put the characters through massive, massive amounts of pain. So this is some of the kinky happiness that I think Steve and Tony are owed by the end of the story. (Also there's a bit more h/c, because I couldn't resist setting this during Red Zone. Phoenix did ask for more Avengers v3 fic!) Thanks to @blossomsinthemist for beta.
Happy birthday, @phoenixmetaphor!

This is an Allydia fic for @selfignitingargent, who was one of the winners of the contest that I held a few months ago! (yes, i'm finally getting around to finishing all of those prizes, i'm sorry i know i suck) I hope you like it, love :)
Set in the canon universe, except that Allison survived high school and there aren't several mile-high buckets of sexual tension between Stiles and Lydia.
Prompt: "Allison and Lydia are going on their first holiday together out of the country. Lydia is petrified of flying, but Allison doesn't know until they get on the plane, since she loves flying so much. When the plane takes off Lydia freaks out so Allison calms her down and lets her snuggle up to her for the rest of the flight."
"So, Italy or France?"
Lydia doesn't bother looking up from her phone. "Italy. French desserts are too dangerous. If I ever went there, I'd gain, like, ten pounds. Why do you ask?"
Allison laughs softly, a whoosh of air that gets Lydia's attention. "Did you forget?"
"Forget what?"
"One-year anniversary? I just got an awesome scholarship for my college tuition next year so my dad's giving me a vacation fund? We agreed that Europe was pretty much the perfect place to go to spend it?"
Lydia's mouth goes dry, but she keeps her smile pasted on. "Oh. Right. Of course I remember that."
"Of course." Allison laughs again. "It's okay, I don't blame you for forgetting. I did ask you while you were in the middle of studying for a 'major' chemistry test that you ended up acing, if I remember correctly."
Lydia huffs, checking her phone again like she's actually upset. "Well, that's what you get for bothering me while I'm studying," she says primly. "I definitely do not remember having that conversation, but I'm sure I did ace that chemistry test. I aced all of them."
"Yes, I remember. So, now that you know what I'm talking about, Italy or France?"
Lydia bites her lip, crushes the fabric of her dress in her hands, and says, "If we're actually going, then France. You speak the language."
Allison raises her eyebrows. "You speak Latin."
Lydia parts her lips, squints her eyes, and tilts her head, striving for normalcy. "Archaic Latin," she corrects her. "Not the same as Italian."
"Yeah, but you could probably learn Italian in approximately three weeks if you wanted to."
Lydia inhales and tilts her head to the other side, considering Allison's statement, before saying, "True. But I don't want to. Listening to you speak French is much hotter."
Allison leans down, her hair falling in a curtain on either side of their faces. "Mais il y aura les desserts français," she whispers.
"If you really love me, you won't mind if I gain ten pounds," Lydia responds just as breathlessly, and then she closes the gap between them with a kiss.
After a few minutes of making out, Lydia actually convinces herself that she can do this for Allison. She can go to Europe. She can get in a plane — into more than one plane, taking connecting flights into account — and fly to Europe.
For Allison.
I am writing some poems
under Sylvia Plath's fig tree
in August, while the fruits are
green, establishing themselves
firm and lunar and casting
bulbous shadows on my page.
These shadows are enough.
No unripe tumors of the heart
will stay my pen,
and though they watch, swollen with
seeds like eyes inside the ever-rotting flesh,
I owe nothing to Sylvia Plath's figs,
and I will write some poems.
Look! You can buy Steve/Tony frozen pasta!
Wonwoo comforts you during a storm ~
First time actually posting something I wrote on this blog. It feels weird. Not my best work, but I wrote it in about 30 minutes bc I love @onefabulouspokemon very much. This is more like a drabble/scenario type of thing.
Title is from a Hedley song I've been loving lately.
You were casually enjoying one of your favorite dramas on your laptop when the storm had started. You didn't even know it was supposed to rain, but then again, it wasn't very surprising with the kind of weather your city had been getting lately. Even then, no matter how many storms hit, you couldn't help but be scared everytime. There was something about storms that made you afraid. You couldn't pinpoint it, but something in the way the lighting cut abruptly in the darkness caused by the clouds made you nervous, and you couldn't keep from yelping everytime a bolt shot from the sky.
It'd been 10 minutes since the storm had started, and it didn't look like it was about to stop. You were buried under a pile of blankets, earbuds in your ear and phone clutched in your hand. You were silently humming to BTS's I Need U when it vibrated twice. You opened your eyes to see it was texts from your boyfriend, Wonwoo.
Wonwoo - "It's pretty bad outside."
Wonwoo - "U okay?"
You sighed. You didn't want to worry him - the poor guy was practically tied to his bed in order to get better and be able to promote with the guys - but the storm was not getting better either. You sighed and typed quickly.
You - "Not really. Don't worry tho. I buried myself in blankets & I'm listening to some music."
You hit send and turned your head just enough to take a peak at your window. It turned out to be a bad idea, as lighting chose this exact moment to strike, apparently not too far from where you were. You jumped so bad you almost fell out of bed, and ended up with your face smashed in the mattress under your pillow. You felt your phone vibate again, and while you had no desire to open your eyes, you knew it would be your favorite rapper.
Wonwoo - "Im coming over"
You - "no you're not, oppa. You're sick"
Wonwoo - "and you're scared. Open up im here"
You sighed, but got up nonetheless. You walked over to your front door, three blankets still wrapped over you, and simply unlocked the door before going back to your room. Your heard that slight annoying click the door handle made when someone twisted it a little too much to the right, followed by the sound of pouring rain and distant rumbling. That only made you walk faster and throw yourself on your bed.
There was a moment of silence, then someone untangled the blankets from you and crawled under them to hold you. A pair hands delicately tugged on your earbuds, took your phone from your clenched fingers and gently set them aside on the nightstand. You turned into Wonwoo's chest and held on to his slightly humid sweater. He must've brought a coat, and left it in the hall. You didn't even say a word, just cuddled up to him and sighed at his familiar warmth.
"I left as soon as the storm started."
"You're an idiot. You shouldn't have left your house, oppa. What if you catch a cold? Nobody will be happy about this. I don't want you to be more sick because of me."
You whined gently, but your arms had already found their place around your boyfriend's waist, the faint smell of his soap tickling your nose through the fabric of his clothes.
"It's okay." He said. "I want to be here for you, jagi. I know how this type of weather scares you, and I knew you'd probably be alone tonight. I couldn't let you be scared and alone."
You were about to protest, probably just out of form, when another lighting bolt startled you, causing you to hold on tighter to Wonwoo. You whimpered a little, almost inaudibly, but he still heard you. Wonwoo's hold on you tightened, and his hands found your hair and started playing with it. He started talking, telling you about his fairly uneventful day, reminiscing about the boys, anecdotes you both had and hadn't heard before. He kept his voice low, soothing, and never stopped stroking your hair.
Time passed slowly. The storm didn't stop, but your fear started to fade, at least for now, into a pleasant calmness. You closed your eyes.
"Thank you, Wonwoo. I love you."
"I love you too."
You were almost asleep when you felt a pair of lips brush your forehead.
If you like stories about Steve and Tony and psychic wolves but you'd rather read about wolves when they're called волки instead, then you will probably be happy to hear that Like a Comet Streaming On has been translated into Russian, as Бесконечный бег кометы. Thanks, Irmie!
Also, I embedded @phoenixmetaphor's third piece of art (this one, NSFW) for Living on Your Breath into the story itself. And while I was embedding things I finally figured out how to embed @etakyma's Big Bang art for Slipping off the Page into Your Hands into the story. Only two years late!
wakandandperthshire asked:
Fitz's Triskelion buddy in our headcanon was among those who flew the Theta Protocol helicarrier to Sokovia! Headcanon solidifies!
Yes he was! Actually, in my post I simply wrote "this guy" but THIS GUY has a name and it's Cameron Klein! For those of you playing at home, Cameron Klein's grandfather was Stanley Klein, a soldier that fought alongside Captain America and the Howling Commandos at the Battle of the Bulge. I actually have a lot of headcanons about Cameron and Sharon Carter (and Trip), and that Cameron was one of the few people who knew of Sharon's family history.
I mean, when he stood up to Rumlow it was pretty darn awesome. But knowing a little more of his backstory gives that moment just so much more poignancy. :)
So I've noticed a bunch of reblogs of my post about Illya being described as "jealous" of Napoleon's luck with women in a later version of the writer's notes by people arguing that perhaps this was the "original" vision for Illya's character, which didn't make it to screen because David McCallum chose to interpret the character differently. But that theory misses a bunch of crucial context about the actual quote (which should've been implicit in the post as I wrote it, but which may not have been as obvious as I thought, possibly because it required people to click on the links to other posts relating to the subject) which I'd like to try and clarify.
Unfortunately, tumblr seems to be doing something really weird with reblogs of that post, so reblogging with a reply is unlikely to be seen. So I'm making an extra post here and tagging the folks who I've seen discussing that in the reblogs: @theparadoxmachinee-blog @aconitum-napellus @vintagetvfan
Alright, to clarify:

This man is DANGEROUS. He is a pathological LIAR. He is INDIFFERENT to the TRUTH, FACTS, EVIDENCE and PROOF. Those are the CORNERSTONES of JUSTICE. Those are the FIRST PRINCIPLES of SCIENCE. This is a glaring EXAMPLE of a NARCISSISTIC SELF-AGGRANDIZING EXAGGERATION. This is two blatant LIES in 18 seconds. The first LIE: "Nobody KNOWS the SYSTEM BETTER than me." That is a blatant LIE. There are many EXPERTS who KNOW the SYSTEM much BETTER than Donald Trump. Then he says, "Which is why I alone CAN fix it." That's NOT TRUE. Most likely he CANNOT fix it. There are others who CAN. That's two blatant LIES in 18 seconds.

Peruvian Desert Once a BreadbasketBreaking News
What do the characters in The Grapes of Wrath, Icelandic shepherds in the Middle Ages and ancient Peruvians have in common? They all suffered from the effects of intensive agriculture on sensitive environments.
Throughout human history unsustainable agricultural practices have turned fragile ecosystems into wastelands and left people starving. During the Dust Bowl, American farmers learned the consequences of removing the deep rooted grasses from the Great Plains when the soil blew away in tremendous dust storms. Icelandic shepherds learned that the sheep rearing practices their ancestors used on the European mainland destroyed the thin soils of their island and left them with starving herds and little to eat.
The ancient inhabitants of what is now Peru also learned the unhappy consequences of farming in a delicate ecosystem. The Ica Valley, near the coast of southern Peru and the famous Nazca lines, is now a barren desert, but was once a fertile floodplain, anchored by the roots of the huarango tree.
People were able to raise a variety of crops there for several centuries. But intensive agriculture in pre-conquest times led to ecosystem collapse. The history of the land was recently reconstructed by bioarcheologist David Beresford-Jones of the University of Cambridge by looking at plant remains left in ancient garbage heaps.
Beresford-Jones and a team of archeologists studied plant remains associated with settlement sites spanning roughly 750 B.C. to 1000 A.D. They observed the change as the valley inhabitants went from eating mostly gathered foods, to a period of intense agriculture, then back again to surviving on what they could eke out of nature's diminished bounty....

NetDocuments today announced the 13.1 release of its leading cloud-computing content management and collaboration service. This latest release contains more than 20 new and updated features, including document delivery via a secure link and a new search engine.
Available for the first time with this release, Secure Document Delivery enables public sharing of documents without loss of content control. Users simply select the documents they wish to deliver, and NetDocuments generates a secure URL for each document to be sent to multiple email addresses. This feature offers users a number of security and control options, including the ability to:
- Password-protect the viewing of documents
- Set document permissions, including the ability to download documents
- Set a predetermined expiration date, after which the URL will no longer be active
- Lock the original version of the document in NetDocuments, thereby prohibiting any changes to be made to the delivered document
Previously, third parties could only gain access to documents stored in NetDocuments by obtaining a username and password through a client portal. The Secure Document Delivery feature also improves collaboration and adds increased functionality to the suite of SEC-, FINRA- and HIPAA-compliant content management features.
As part of the 13.1 release, the NetDocuments' NDSearch, an enterprise-class search platform embedded in NetDocuments and available to all users, now relies on the SolrTM search engine to power its functionality across 750 million documents for its global customer base in 140 countries.
Solr's open source enterprise platform provides NetDocuments with the flexibility to adjust search functionality to meet customer needs. All previous search features remain available, including search analysis filters, find similar, dynamic filters and saved search. With Solr, users will enjoy quicker display of items in workspaces and other search result lists, an improvement in productivity made possible by Solr's ability to index metadata for documents significantly faster.
"Collaboration has always been a main pillar of our company, and the new document delivery tool, which was highly requested by our customers, provides the easiest way for our customers to work with someone outside their organization while maintaining complete control of their documents," said Leonard Johnson, vice president of marketing and product management at NetDocuments. "Our users have always valued our powerful search tool, and switching to Solr not only provides them with a superior search experience, but gives us greater customization and scalability as we near the billion document mark."
Current NetDocuments users will also see additional updates and features. A complete list can be found at: https://support.netdocuments.com/entries/22869956-new-update-january-10-2013-see-details.

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

Extracting business value from Internet of Things (IoT) data doesn't happen overnight. There are several requirements that must be satisfied, including IoT device enablement, data analysis, real-time detection of complex events and automated orchestration of actions.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

DUESSELDORF, Germany German steelmaker ThyssenKrupp (TKAG.DE), which has said it risks breaching loan covenants, is in talks with hedge funds to persuade them to buy into an issue of new shares, two people familiar with the matter said.
One of the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the negotiations are confidential, told Reuters on Thursday the talks were at an advanced stage.
Earlier in the day, German monthly Manager Magazin cited company sources as saying Chief Executive Hiesinger and Finance Chief Guido Kerkhoff first approached some hedge funds in March and revived talks about a cash call in mid-July.
ThyssenKrupp needs capital as it aims to shift its strategy from steelmaking to technology, while struggling to sell its unprofitable Steel Americas unit that consists of steel mills in Brazil and the U.S. state of Alabama.
The company has not yet specified whether the mooted capital increase would include a rights issue for existing shareholders.
A spokesman for ThyssenKrupp declined to comment and pointed to previous comments from its management saying a capital increase was an option.
CEO Hiesinger said last week the group could seek cash from shareholders even before it sells Steel Americas if customers grew too concerned about ThyssenKrupp's finances.
Funds overseen by George Soros and by John Paulson were named by Manager Magazin as having been contacted. Other investors who could be interested include David Einhorn's Greenlight Capital, York Capital as well as Andreas Holvorsen's Viking Global Investors, according to the magazine.
Shares in the company extended their gains and were up 4.3 percent at 16.30 euros at 1405 GMT, the second-largest gainer on the blue-chip DAX .GDAXI index, which was up 1.4 percent.
Greenlight Capital declined to comment. Soros Fund Management, Paulson & Co, Viking and York Capital Management did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

We've all dreamed about it, but here it is – bouncing a shot into the basket from the other side of the court … in a game. The Reddit title for this video is, "You've NEVER seen a buzzer beating full court shot quite like this…" I watched the video assuming I had seen it all. I became confused when the ball hit the court in the middle of the lane. Then the ball hit the rim, hit the backboard and went in. You can tell the crowd was just as confused as I was. The girl with the amazing clock management skills is Anna Olsen of Lewis-Palmer High School in Colorado. Sometimes you forget to check the clock and attempt to throw the ball the length of the court with :15 remaining. Remember, there is no such thing as a bad shot that goes in.

Bulgarian police have detained a man after he pointed a gas pistol at an ethnic Turkish party leader delivering a speech at a party caucus in the capital.
No shots were fired from the self-defence device, which is not lethal but can cause serious injuries if fired at close range.

Mayhem as man takes aim at Bulgarian politician
RAW VISION: A man jumped on stage and pointed a gun at the leader of Bulgaria's ethnic Turkish party before security guards wrestled him to the ground.
The video from the Saturday event in Sofia shows the man climbing the podium where Ahmed Dogan, the leader of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, was speaking, and pointing the gun to his face.
Dogan struck the man before he could pull the trigger, while other delegates wrestled the assailant to the ground. TV footage showed several people punching, kicking and stomping on the man when he was on the ground.
Police arrested him and took him to a hospital. It wasn't immediately clear if he sustained serious injuries, or how he got past security to enter the hall with nearly 3000 people attending.
Eventually, the attacker was identified by police as 25-year-old Oktai Enimehmedov, a Bulgarian national and ethnic Turk, from the coastal city of Burgas.
He was carrying the gas pistol and two knives.
Interior Minister Tsvevtan Tsvetanov told journalists the assailant had a criminal record for drugs possession, robberies and hooliganism.
The liberal MRF party mainly represents ethnic Turks and other Muslims in Bulgaria, who make up 12 per cent of its 7.3-million population.
The conference had to elect a new leader to succeed Dogan, who is one of the Balkan country's most influential political figures. The 58-year-old has been at the helm of the party since founding it in 1990.
Saturday's assault was the gravest attack on a politician in post-communist Bulgaria after the 1996 killing of ex-prime Minister Andrei Lukanov.

| just yuki chapter 2 . 6/22
so, Harry are not going to school right? did he get a job then? because I can't imagined that Harry would wait in the house when Sirius goes to Hogwarts.
| just yuki chapter 1 . 6/22
I like Top!Harry your twist on time travel fix, because Sirius/Harry had lost its charm when it was so repetive. dominant, confident Sirius and submissive, shy Harry, not so much any more.
thumbs up for you...
| sarafine-ecleips chapter 2 . 3/31
I love this, I love imagining James' reaction to the sudden fact that Sirius is married. How old is Sirius? Like I knew that he ran away at fifteen, but does that mean he's going into fifth year or sixth? He's going back to Hogwarts, right? What's the Wizarding age of consent for marriage? So many things to consider when imagining reactions!
| Lilith'sChild chapter 1 . 3/18
I have read and re-read this so many times. Still love it! I can't help but wish there was another chapter, for everyone else's reactions. Like the potters getting a wedding invite or The other marauders coming over to the mansion... Well food for thought I guess?
Still.. Big fan!

Whoa, I love this! Very hot and I love that Harry understands the morality and doesn't care, it works in this story.
Thank you for writing this!
| YE chapter 2 . 12/6/2015
Well, I don't exactly think it was right of Harry to use Sirius like this, I mean talk about a betrayal of trust.
And Sirius is just so abruptly pulled into this, he himself probably isn't even sure what is happening, I mean like most of the time batty is enchanting him with magic after all.
Harry is just plain creepy, with his obsession with Sirius and all that.
But, In general, nice fic.
| KyuubiChild717 chapter 2 . 12/4/2015
I wonder if you could write a chapter on the other maurader teens finding out about the marriage of Sirius and their reactions to the situation. I am absolutely in love with your story and Harry.

| Guest chapter 2 . 10/16/2015
Ooh! Great story. I always wanted a domHarryxsubSiri fic. I wish there'd be something that makes Sirius get emotionally attached to Harry, other than sex and games. Overall, very nice!
| SpriteBlue chapter 2 . 9/22/2015
That was hot. I'd for you to make this a series really!
| juju chapter 1 . 8/23/2015
Awesome! Please update!
Um here's a thought, when sirius does go back to hogwarts, maybe he still does stuff with women and harry finds out so when sirius returns, harry refuses to touch him more than absolutely necessary and sirius really misses his touch and the sex and I dunno, apologises?

MUMBAI Oct 12 UK-based The Children's Investment Fund Management (TCI) said on Friday it has filed a lawsuit in Calcutta High Court against the directors of state miner Coal India Ltd for failing to perform their functions with care and skill.
The lawsuit also names the federal government as a party for abusing its powers as majority shareholder in Coal India, TCI said in a statement.
TCI, which owns about 1 percent of Coal India, filed a writ in Delhi High Court in August to quash directions to the miner by India's coal ministry to reverse a price hike.

Hyundai increases U.S. production to meet demand
Hyundai's U.S. dealers are finding popularity to be bittersweet. While sales are at record highs, supplies are tight. Labor strikes at the company's South Korean plants have cut as many as 10,000 U.S.-bound vehicles.
Though union workers reached an agreement with Hyundai last week, the new contract cuts the two 10-hour work shifts to an eight-hour day shift and a nine-hour night shift. That's about a 15 percent reduction in production hours beginning in March. Union officials say productivity will improve and that no loss of output is expected.
Hyundai's largest South Korean plant currently builds 300 cars an hour, totaling 1.5 million cars a year. Automotive News estimates that a 15-percent reduction at that plant alone would be a loss of 234,000 units a year.
To make sure U.S. demand is fully met, Hyundai's Alabama plant has added a third shift that is expected to churn out an extra 20,000 Sonata and Elantra models by the year's end.
"Hyundai has been running flat out," Automotive News quotes Chris Richter, an auto analyst at CLSA Asia-Pacific in Tokyo. "They don't have spare capacity lying around. It's going to put pressure on them to start adding capacity somewhere. Their investors and dealers are going to be screaming for more product."

722 of 836 people found the following review helpful
Don't Buy! Read why...,
This review is from: Beats Studio Over-Ear Headphone (Silver) (Discontinued by Manufacturer) (Electronics)
I have the Beats Studio; this product is a result of great marketing, that's why they're selling them well. However, the product itself wouldn't be able to sell on its own merits. It's a major disappointment especially for the price.
First the pros:
- Better than average sound quality but what's minimally expected for the price range it's in.
- Great looks! Yes, that hooked me; it's unique, stands out from other headphones, doesn't make you look dorky. But...(see cons)
The Cons:
- Major sound leakage! I've been asked several times while listening in a coffee shop and airplane to turn it down because people can hear the tunes out of these headphones! And I don't even turn it up! I was listening to classical music for god's sake! I had others try it on to see if I can hear them: I could. Again, not even turned up that high. This leakage is a major fail for this product. I'm embarassed to use this in public now.
- Feels very plastic-ky! It's like a cheap toy! Yes, as I mentioned above, they look great...but once you hold it in your hands and wear it, it feels fragile and the materials don't feel durable; you drop this once, it's all over!
- Noise-cancelling? "block jet engine noise"?! Cancel that!! Okay, it may not be fair that I'm comparing this to my old Bose with noise cancelling but, man, these Beats just barely block out the noise especially when you're in an airplane.
- Power switch- this is the switch to turn NC and basically to get sound in to the headphones. This is a bonehead feature. I have this switch on all the time anyway to hear the sound so, why make me turn it on and off?! Besides, if you forget to turn it off after listening, your battery runs down. There is no auto-off! So, if you're out somewhere with no spare batteries, forget about listening to your tunes.
- Packaging: could they waste any more materials just to package this?! The excessive packaging on this just validates how much this is all about marketing hype and not about product merits. Enough said.
- Product support: Fail. A couple of months ago, I lost the cables for these. Yes, I admit that's my fail. So, I tried to buy the same exact cables so I can get the maximum performance out of these. Result: No one sold them at retails stores. Fine. So, I went to their website hoping to find it... and it says there, they don't currently sell ANY replacement parts and to check back! I just found out that they'll be selling replacement parts online this September. Great. I just bought some other cable after running around trying to find them. My problem with this is, if you're a company and you're going to sell a product...have replacement parts available when you launch your product!! Not months after!!
Summary: So NOT recommended! There's much better ones out there. Don't fall for the hype, marketing, and pseudo celebrity endorsements.

Thank YOU for not buying it!! If I persuaded even just one person not to buy this product, I feel it's sweet revenge enough for me! Yeah, keep your Bose or just buy a new Bose, they really do a good job of evolving and improving their products.

Audio, Movie, Game Guru says:
I completely disagree with this guy's review. I think the Beats are awesome. I've never owned a better pair of headphones in terms of sound quality, and I did NOT buy them for the looks. They just sounded great at the store, so I figured I'd try them out. I've had no durability issues for the 3 years I've had them, and I've had no issues with sound bleed. They are made of plastic, but again, I've never had an issue. When I was travelling to Washington DC, I was in an airplane for 5 hours, and never heard the engine noise with these bad boys on. I'm not sure about their product support, as I've never had an issue, but I know many people who are happy with these headphones.

I can see why you disagree with my review and I respect that. You and I simply have different products. You didn't experience the downsides of this CURRENT product that I and the majority of consumers that have bought this product recently. Basically, you have an older model of this product (3 yrs old, right?), the one I reviewed is only a few months old. This kind of thing often happens with products; the older ones are better than new ones because manufacturers try to "cost engineer" products; meaning, make it cheaper, reduce quality, component costs, etc. so they can keep or increase their margins. Where do you think the old adage "they don't make 'em like they used to" came from? I know this practice because I've been in the consumer electronics business for over 25 yrs. But I'm not dismissing your point with that (actually, not dismissing your point at all). Chances are you have a version that was well manufactured by Monster. As you may know, Monster has stopped or is stopping making these for Beats/Dr. Dre this year. So, that may have affected the quality of later models such as mine. Also, I'm hoping not, but maybe I have unknowingly been sold a counterfeit version, as some owners have experienced. BUT I doubt it, I've gone to another store and tried another unit exactly like mine and experienced the same problems. Maybe you should try these new ones and compare it with yours, and see if there's a difference. I'd be happy to trade mine for yours if yours is that "awesome" :-)

1. "I've never owned a better pair of headphones in terms of sound quality"
How many other pairs of $300 headphones have you owned? I'm guessing zero.
Or more importantly, how many other pairs of headphones have you tried? Comparing these to a $50 Skullcandy headphone isn't saying much since those typically have poor sound quality in the first place. Going from an Apple earbud to a Skullcandy headphone to a Beats by Dre headphone, of course you're going to say that the Beats are the best headphones you've owned.
2. "I've had no issues with sound bleed"
You probably don't know what sound bleed sounds like as a result of #1 (you not hearing other headphones in a similar price range).
You not knowing what a quality-sounding headphone sounds like prevents you from fully understanding what "bass bleed" sounds like.
It's like reading a beginner's calculus book and saying calculus is really easy and straightforward from the knowledge you have, but in reality it's not and you just haven't learned enough of it to realize how difficult it can be. In other words, you think it's something it's not.
3. " I've had no durability issues for the 3 years I've had them"
Yeah, they do last if you take care of them. They aren't as fragile as many people believe.
Try an Audio Technica ATH-M50 or Shure SRH840 (~$150 on Amazon) and you'll find out what "bass bleed" means, and what true good sound quality is like. It's been proven with objective, factual audio tests that the Beats Studio's are easily outdone for sound quality from headphones in the ~$150 range, and why many people say the Beats headphones are terrible for your money and they sound like garbage, to be quite frank. Then this leads to the whole "defending the Beats" by saying "oh you're just jealous since you can't afford them" or "the Beats don't sound like garbage, they're awesome; you're just jealous" jargon. -.-''

THANK YOU "X2FR AND NARFYBOB" for your input/comments/followup. I have been back and forth debating with myself if I really should spend XXX amount of dollars to give as a gift but I don't think I will be doing that now, thanks to your very competent review. I COMPLETELY AGREE with everything you've outlined and in detail too about these headphones. Great marketing ploy, price point justification I can only assume due to the name...Beats by Dr. Dre. Good point in making about Monster no longer working on these. I just knew about that recently.
These are really geared to market the "younger" demographics as they are "really cool looking" as my daughter says and all of her other friends (mid teens). So with that being said, you're right, they haven't really owned that many headphones to acurately compare. With all that, my god-daughter is still guiltily pestering me to buy her one. Nah ;-)

I am shocked you bought beats headphones to listen to classical music. That's like buying an Escalade to do formula 1 racing. Beats intentionally have an inaccurate sound in order to overemphasize bass almost exclusively for hip hop and dance music. For classical music you want the complete opposite. Try AKG Q701 or K702. Those are absolutely perfect for acoustic music and cost about the same. Just sell your Beats on ebay, I'm sure some dumb kid will buy it.
