[mal-warebytes]

Where do I stick all my VERY nsfw art? Tumblr eats it or denies/gives me violations if even though I follow their rules!? Am I doing it wrong? Am I dumb? Do they go somewhere else? ...is it X/Twitter? Please don't be X..I hate it... I can't keep hoarding it to myself

I know ya'll saw the Christmas one, that is the face of a man that needs to be touched...

[tomb-error]

It was only a kiss.

At least that's what Ethan keeps telling himself after he found himself lip-locked with his very intelligent, very attractive clinical partner.

The whole group had been studying at her apartment the previous evening, but when his other colleagues decided to close-up shop, she offered to help Ethan study for his physical assessment retake. And suddenly, pretending to be his patient turned into… something else. 

Examining the top of her head turned into him twirling her lavender-scented tresses behind her ear. Palpating lymph nodes turned into gentle brushes of his fingertips across the soft skin of her neck and cheeks. Ethan had never seen eyes sparkle quite like hers before, especially a pair so intently fixed on him.

And her lips… God, those lips…

It was only a kiss.

But it wasn't just a kiss, at least not to him. Ethan had been memorizing every curve to Tatum Erikson's mouth for weeks: the way she smiled, the way she laughed, the way she chewed on that damn bottom lip everytime she was deep in thought.

Those lips…

But what Ethan wasn't prepared for was the reality of experiencing Tatum’s tender touch firsthand. Soft. Gentle. Teasing and innocent. And yet, when his mouth grazed hers, a feral hunger ignited within him, a passion he never knew he possessed until that moment, until her skin connected with his. The air escaped from his lungs, his thoughts becoming fuzzy. His heartbeat leapt into his ears as a burning ache grew in his lower belly.

All he wanted to do was touch more of her, taste more of her, experience more of her.

But she pulled away.

For a brief moment, the corner of her mouth curled into a crooked smile; but then the look of terror etched across her face, her chest visibly rising and falling with each breath. Ethan was already planning to kiss her again, but Tatum quickly stood up, moving away from the couch, moving away from him.

It was only a kiss.

Shit.

He quickly recognized that he had misread the signs when Tatum started mumbling, tripping over her excuses to get away. When Ethan said her name to break her of her spiraling, her eyes refused to meet his gaze. Ethan felt the butterflies in his stomach slowly begin to die one by one. With his ego crumpling into an oblivion, Ethan suggested that he leave. 

And she agreed.

That kiss, that magical kiss that stirred up so much undiscovered emotion, tragically ended, both of them pretending like the incident never happened. And with that, Tatum nervously told him goodnight.

It was only a kiss.

Resting his cheek in his hand, Ethan incessantly taps his pencil on his open textbooks. He's been at the library for most of the afternoon, not that he's been able to focus.

His mind is still wrapped around those rosy lips, flavored with a hint of coconut. How they carefully pressed into him. How they fluttered delicately across his own. 

How it was just… perfect.

Suddenly the elevator dings, the metal doors gliding open. The brief shuffle pulls Ethan from his thoughts as he tosses his pencil onto his spiral notebook. He glances up to watch other students get off the lift to make their way back into the library stacks. His attention returns to his study materials, but his heart abruptly skips a beat, his mouth running dry.

Was that ...?

He senses someone walking towards him, his body reacting, screaming that it's her.

Ethan slowly lifts his head again, and those bright, ocean blue eyes fix hungrily on his crystal gaze. 

Maybe it wasn't only a kiss.

As she draws closer with each step, her cheeks swirl into the most gorgeous hue of petal pink. Despite her efforts to remain serious, the corners of her mouth helplessly curl into her genuinely kind smile, her heart on display.

She looks different today; she styled her hair down, and wore a little more makeup than usual. Her clothes are well-fitted to her curves, and a gentle waft of floral notes tease Ethan's senses.

"Hi," Tatum whispers, giving a small wave with her fingers.

"Hey," Ethan nods.

She looks down, biting her bottom lip

That lip…

She begins to bounce her leg, twisting it on the ball of her foot. The flush of her cheeks grows down her neck as she coyly giggles to herself. "I thought you might be here."

And yet... she came anyway.

Maybe it wasn't only a kiss for her either.

"Do you mind if I…?' Tatum motions to the other chair at his desk.

"Please," Ethan gestures to the seat, a crooked grin painting on his mouth. He attentively watches her unpack her notebooks and writing utensils.

Tatum finally relaxes with a big sigh, her attention finally meeting Ethan's longing, silent stare. The air crackles like embers around them as she holds his curiously adoring gaze… that is until for a moment, for just a split second, her eyes flicker to his lips.

It was definitely more than a kiss.

What is thou favorite disco Elysium quote/s?

god this is so hard there are so many good ones, but probably "true love is possible only in the next world -- for new people. it's too late for us" bc i do literally have a sticker of that on my laptop lol

i also think about kim's "god, please" constantly, its such a good moment. also when volition says "I can't help you. I am totally useless. Everything I've said is lies. I want the exact same bad things you want."' bc that hit me so hard

also love “You are a violent and irrepressible miracle. The vacuum of the cosmos and the stars burning in it are afraid of you. Given enough time you would wipe us all out and replace us with nothing — Just by accident.”

[nc-eikin]

Eikin! We know that your writing is absolutely phenomenal, but you still go far and beyond with everything you write. Piquant was... I have no words, it was just so well written, I'm awestruck and a little envious /pos

Just asgshjahjk- You have a good night now.

- Mal

Mal, you lovely little darling, you-

I had a good night, had a good sleep and now you completed the cycle by giving me a good morning with this.

Please don't be envious aaAAAA think of Piquant as a tribute to you (and for all those oral fixation readers out there.. I know which ones you are haha)

Mal, you'll always be an inspiration for me. I've been following your works before I even made a Tumblr!

Let's both continue to bring our readers to their knees~

[faggot-friday]

i call you chandi in my mind.

I literally have no idea how to respond to that but… thanks?

I’d add it to my name hoard but I have a theme and it would hurt me too much to change it

8, 17 and 43 for Mal!

8: Does your character hate anyone? Why?

Tony Stark lol there isn’t really a reason?? They used to get along quite well, but there friendship just kind of... fizzled out? She doesn’t like that he got Peter involved with the avengers the way he did, that’s a huge issue for her, and I guess it doesn’t help that Tony is always on hand to wind her up.

17: Does your character have any irrational fears?

Listen. Aliens are real and a giant purple man wants to kill half of all living things. All of her fears are perfectly justified, thank you very much!

43: What is your character insecure about?

How Steve feels about her. She knows she will never compare to the legend that is Peggy Carter.
