@graveformydarling commissioned me to create Sticker for the (art)content starved SaintZee fandom aaaaand here they are :D

I don’t know too much about them, so I leave the hype part to Mel :’)  I do love however that their animals are a koala and a bunny. That’s super cute!

You can get those cutie pies in my freshly moved shop ~ <3

Okay, @graveformydarling kindly said I could muse at her about how Tutor could find out Fighter is an Omega so here I go! (Disclaimer: I only have the crash course education on ABO, so forgive me for mistakes/assumptions I make about this universe, I’m a rookie)

Part of me really loves the “stupid way”, as the anon put it, of Tor just finding the suppressants carelessly left out by Fight (a la the condoms moment in ep9) but also I can’t picture Fight being that careless with something he still doesn’t want Tor to know, so this makes me think, does Fight do something careless or does he purposefully decide to just… not take his suppressants for a day to satisfy his curiosity about what he thinks he’s feeling for Tor?

Because like, what you said in your first ABO ficlet here Mel got me thinking: “Fighter never experienced a full heat, never had his senses trained on the particular scent of an alpha, much less  learned the difference between regular alphas and those that were a perfect match for you. He had been living pretty much as a beta all his life, blissfully unaware.”

Plus what the anon was saying about Tor feeling something around Fight but he doesn’t know what it is. So my big question is, can an Alpha feel that an Omega is the perfect match for them even if that Omega is on suppressants—but they can’t identify that feeling, they just know there’s something?

So what I think would be interesting is if Fight knows that some Alphas and Omegas are a perfect match for each other, but he has never experienced any attraction to an Alpha as an Omega because of the suppressants, and part of him is just dying to know what that would feel like with Tor, now that he knows Tor is an Alpha.

What if Fight took just half the dose of a suppressant for a day? Idk how suppressants are seen to work in this verse, but if a half-dose has some effect but not the full effect, Fight might be tempted to try that. And it’s the day that Fight protects Tor from the creditor in the rain. (Or, another possibility because I remember how damn forgetful I was taking meds as a college student—still am forgetful—Fight could just forget to refill his prescription and only have half a dose left or NOTHING left and he just risks it because he’s been studying with Tor for weeks and what’s the worst that could happen lolololol)

But this brings up another question—I feel like going off suppressants is a lot like going off certain types of meds (birth control, SSRIs—which I’ve taken and gone off both) and you can tell that you’ve been off suppressants even for just one day (this is definitely true for some SSRIs). Fight has to have forgotten a dose at least once before meeting Tor, I mean he’s only human. So he thinks he’ll be okay, just a bit on edge, like has happened before. But usually being off them for one day isn’t enough for Alphas to notice? Maybe? Shoot me down if I’m wrong.

Another question—does Tor and Fight being a perfect match make it possible for Fight to go into heat just from being off suppressants for one day or just taking a half dose? Like does the perfect match factor effect how strongly Fight is affected by Tor even though he’s been on suppressants since puberty (so for at least idk 9 to 11 years)? I know some of this is up to creative license on Mel’s part, but also I’m so curious of the rules of ABO verse, however loosely or strictly defined they are.

@graveformydarling - Grave wrote one of my very favorite Inception fics, and I have to shout out to how great it was. Bangkok Nights is among the most gorgeous, atmospheric stories I've read anywhere and I am so grateful for it.

@alicehadthoughts @graveformydarling I actually did the voice meme you both tagged me in, but tumblr doesn’t recognize the file I made with Windows voice recorder app, so that hurt my feelings. I’m probably just ignorant of how the most basic technology works, but I wanted to tell you both that I did the meme and you both made me smile with your recordings (Alice - I’ll call you that since you used it in your url on purpose - I admire you reading all of War and Peace, I tried once but I think my dedication to reading dense classic literature died with my graduating college, and Mel I’ve read the quote from Kafka on the Shore you read! Someone must’ve posted it here. Amazing that my brain recalled reading it when I haven’t read that book. But I loved 1Q84 and The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. Actually didn’t know liking him was seen as pretentious until after I read those two books, but maybe I should’ve known when I saw his books so prominently displayed in a library, bookstore, and a grocery store where I live, in the midwest US)

In short I sound like... basic American (like most American newscasters I guess) because us midwesterners are seen as having no accent, but I was interested to know what Alice thought about that lol. And I read a passage from Clan of the Cave Bear, which is one of my most favorite books (ever since I was 13). My url references Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, both a manga and a film by Hayao Miyazaki. The manga is one of my favorite stories I’ve ever read.

I also said this meme made me feel old because I remember doing it at least 6 years ago now. And I made it a video back then because I didn’t know how to do an audio recording and post it to tumblr. I’ve learned nothing. :)

#6 Touch - Kieren/Simon ;)

[6 - frustrated]

Behind a cut as it’s mildly nsfw at the start.

Simon wasn’t above admitting he had a to-do list of activities in mind for when they had both regained feeling in their skin, a list that had only grown on finding out Kieren was a virgin. Some activities didn’t require an erection - there were plenty that revolved around touch alone, and some that might require the ability to heal - but enough of them did that his inability to get hard had become a frustration.

They had both tried, and God knew he had spent the better part of an hour between Kieren’s legs sucking and stroking his cock in an effort to get it interested, but without blood he might as well have been playing pool with a length of rope.

After attempts to stir Kieren’s cock proved a failure, Simon had devoted his time and attention to worshipping Kieren’s body through other means. Kieren was happy enough to stretch out and let Simon massage his legs, easing the knots out of muscles that didn’t know they were in pain. PDS resources advised to look out for limping or slouching when walking, to take care not to fall, and to wear thick layers at all times; without a fully functional nervous system it was easy to injure yourself without noticing.

Kieren’s feet were delicate and fine-boned, and it was a relief to see they hadn’t suffered any damage despite the fact Simon knew he’d been forced to run on more than one occasion. Simon pinched each toe one by one between his fingers before tickling over the base of Kieren’s foot, knowing he couldn’t really feel it, but smiling to himself anyway. He wondered if Kieren had been ticklish in life, and if he had, where his ticklish spots were.

"Having fun?" Kieren asked, and Simon laughed before moving back up the bed, tickling his fingers over the dead nerves behind Kieren’s knees, along his inner thighs, across his stomach and up his sides.

"Be better if you were squirming," Simon said, feigning grumpiness, and Kieren grinned, bit his lip before asking,

"What if I pretended to?"

It was tempting to ask him to play along, but Simon shook his head, nudged his nose against Kieren’s before kissing him quickly, playfully. “Eh, wouldn’t want to spoil the fun for when you really can feel again.” He allowed himself a smirk, loving how Kieren’s eyes lit up in response. “I’m looking forward to acquainting myself with your nervous system.”

Kieren raised an eyebrow, but didn’t say a word; Simon appreciated that, Kieren’s efforts to rein in his biting little comments and sarcasm for Simon’s benefit.

He kissed him again, deeper this time, stealing Kieren’s breath while he still could, and stroking his fingers through Kieren’s hair, behind his ears, down his neck, all the places he couldn’t wait to feel to see if they were as soft as they looked.

"Touch my ears again," Kieren said after a moment, and Simon nodded, pinching Kieren’s earlobes and rubbing them, and Kieren rolled his eyes before grinning. "Couldn’t be my dick, could it? Or my mouth, at least."

Simon grinned right on back. “Sure I can think of a few things to make up for that,” he said, and leaned forward, licking around the shell of Kieren’s ear until he gasped.

"That, that really should, nn," Kieren said, voice shaky on a sentence that didn’t emerge fully formed, and Simon resumed licking and gently nipping around Kieren’s ear, determined to make Kieren lose his words entirely.

It didn’t take long, and watching Kieren’s eyes flutter shut had Simon wishing the process of regaining feeling would hurry itself up.

If he could make Kieren nonsensical with just a bit of attention to his ear, he couldn’t wait to see what sights and sounds he could get out of Kieren once he had an entire body to play with.
