Pacify Part 2: Steady
Pacify Part 2: Steady
NOW WITH ART! Steady:1. Not easily disturbed or upset2. Constant in feeling, principle, purpose, or attachment “Why does it even matter if people get suspicious?” Harry lay back and stretched, and Severus watched him do it. He was almost cat-like, with an unselfconscious grace that took him off guard each time he saw it. It was how he looked on a broomstick. The absolute master of his body. Harry looked over at him staring, and smiled.Oh, that smile.Unguarded. Uncomplicated. Free, and easy. It made Severus feel drunk with power to put an expression like that on his face. He lifted one of Harry’s hands to his lips and kissed his knuckles. I love you, he thought. It was becoming almost routine, thinking that. I love you. Almost normal. Almost tolerable to hold in his mind, now.

The Sexual Education of Steve Rogers
The Sexual Education of Steve Rogers
In which Steve actually knows rather a lot about sex, but almost nothing about the lengths his friends are willing to go for him. (Almost nothing but sex. Did I mention there’s sex? There's sort of a lot of sex in this story. Sorry about that.) // Most Recent: Thor/Jane and Darcy team up for the win! //// Up Next: Wanda, Viz, Natasha and Bruce... Oh the smutty plans I have. //// I take requests!// ++ Each chapter has a summary! ++ There's something like an ongoing plot, but each character arc stands alone, so you can pick and choose the characters you like, or read straight through, whatever floats your boat. If you're skipping around, read the interludes related to the chapters you do read, because plot. ~*~*~The kink is perhaps vanilla-plus; risqué perhaps, but nothing you shouldn't try at home. Everything is consensual, usually enthusiastically so, though sometimes they're figuring it out as they go, and it takes a little work. Lots of dirty talk, vaguely naughty moments of teasing and playfulness, lots of caught-up-in-the-moment-roughness. Everyone's out to make each other happy, but now and again there's a miscommunication, folks have issues, and feels.

He was silent for a moment. She heard his cloak rustle, the sound of his hand grasp one of the bars. The gentle tap of his rings against the metal filled her ears, and she shut her eyes. “When you denied an alliance with me, I found other means of quenching my thirst.” “For violence and depravity?” she shot back. “For vengeance,” he hissed. “Just as you sought yours. Keep your righteousness to yourself. I care not for it. These Men, these Númenóreans, fought against me in the Great War. Slew countless lives. With their pride and their arrogance in their mighty goodness. They thought they were better than the rest of us as you yourself believed you were better than me.” His voice dropped to a whisper. “I wanted to see them suffer. I have achieved so much more than that.” Written for an anonymous tumblr prompt: During Ar-Pharazôn’s rule of Númenor when Sauron holds the position of the High Priest of Melkor, Galadriel is captured in the middle of a war, imprisoned, and handed over to him as a sacrifice to be made in the Temple of the High Priest, but Sauron has other plans. From Akallabêth to the founding of Gondor, unlikely allies are forged.

Beasts of the Hill and Serpents of the Den
“I asked for a handsome reward in exchange for Finrod Felagund’s life,” the man called out across the distance. He was tall, though not as tall as her brother, and dressed in swathes of black and grey, a loose hood shielding most of his face and hair from sight. “What do you bring me in exchange for him?” “Galadriel, no—” Finrod began, but Galadriel cut him off. “—Myself,” she answered his call, though it did not sound as assuring out loud as it had sounded to her before she left her home to make this perilous journey to come save her brother. The black-robed figure chuckled in response. It started low, but it reached the distance all the way toward her. He grasped Finrod by the neck of his tunic, yanking him back. “What would I do with you?” he threw back at her. “You’re hardly a fair exchange for the warrior I hold in my grasp.” During the First Age, the War of Wrath changes course. On the island of Tol-in-Gaurhoth, the Isle of Werewolves and one of Sauron’s former strongholds, is the seat of the Necromancer’s power. Instead of sending his wolves out to kill Finrod after capturing Felagund in his dungeons, Sauron demands an exchange for his life. Galadriel offers herself.

The Truth is Forced to Come Out
Silence engulfed the four, only disturbed the quiet clicks of Bruce working away at the antidote, at least Jason assumed that’s what he was doing. “As nice as this little reunion is, don’t you have things to do other than antagonize me?” Jason asked, annoyed, clasping his hands in front of him as he prayed his brothers would just take the hint and leave him alone. Maybe that was the wrong word choice. Now Dick looked at him in the eyes as though something had just clicked and a smug smile spread across his lips. Fuck. “So truth serum, huh?” Dick said and Jason felt a familiar prickle of fear. God damnit. This had been just what he’d been trying to avoid. “Did you steal my dark blue Gotham University sweater when you were 14?” Dick asked, the question falling from his lips as though he’d been preparing to ask it for years. Jason blinked twice, then the answer forced itself out. He didn’t know if he had the energy left to fight it. "Yes." Or alternatively; Jason is drugged with truth serum and needs an antidote, his brothers decide bullying him is more of a priority.

So.. Soukoku has to kill a big scary villain? And infiltrate a.. School? PLEASE! It's almost too easy. I wonder what they have planned... TW: Excessive drinking, smoking, drug usage, graphic depictions of violence, non-con (r@pe), manipulation, depressing topics, suicide, self harm, underage usage of illegal products, gang affiliation, crimes, sexualization of one's body, adultifying teens, and etc.Also, despite Mori being a little shit and making Dazai uncomfortable in my text, he is not a pedophile. And Dazai refers to him as a pedo because Mori is just a dickhead in this. Mori's way of manipulation is very particular and he tends to use trauma from past experiences of Dazai's. Also I wanted to add, if Mori calls Dazai "cute" or Dazai thinks Mori is thinking like that, it means the way his tactics work, and isn't necessarily referring to Dazai himself. This is a way of projection for me so I may ask as to not be criticized on the topic. Please and thank you! <33

Yeosang hated himself for his silly decision. Here he was, stumbling through a dirty hallway, black, dried blood, which had been trickling down his temples until some time ago, made him feel uncomfortably dirty and he stumbled on, hands supporting his embarrassingly weak body. He was so slow. Panicking, he threw his head over his shoulders every two seconds, checking if Wooyoung was already in sight. But the white, stained path was empty. There was only him and the whiteish light of the broken neon tubes over his head. And the darkness, of course, which was awaiting him in the maze of branched, underground hallways. Yeosang is kidnapped by none other than Jung Wooyoung.
