Rex has his arsenal of pet names for you—babe, mama, sweetheart, pum-pum, doll, and many more. Some are more recurring than others. But you, sadly, don’t have many for him. Maybe it’s because you’re not really good at it, or maybe he’s just one of a kind and his name is a nickname enough. That changes though, when one evening chilling in bed you have an urge you cannot stop and the words just blurt past your lips before you can even think about it.
“Hey angel, could you please get me my comic book from the coffee table?”
Without a word, he gets up and heads towards the living room. “Yeah, su—” Rex freezes, then turns slowly towards you. “Wait. What did you just call me?”
You blink slowly, realizing the effect it had on him. “Angel.”
“Didn’t you mean ‘devil’?” A nervous smile stretches across his face, trying to seem unbothered.
“You’re definitely gonna be one if you don’t bring me my Dark Knight.”
He crosses his arms over his chest, his features softening back into that smug confidence. “That’s emotional manipulation.”
“Didn’t think you knew such sophisticated terms.”
Rex leans on the bed, inches away from your face, staring you deeply in the eyes with a mischievous smirk. “Do you want your Batman or not?”
You plant a hasty kiss on his forehead and grin. “Love you too.”

Later that night, your comic book read from front to back once again, you’re lying in the dark with your head resting on his chest. His heartbeat is a steady anchor to reality, beating rhythmically under his ribs.
“Earlier tonight,” Rex starts, voice low, barely above whisper, “when you called me an angel.”
“Yeah?”
“That was new.”
“You didn’t like it?”
“No, I did. It’s just—It did something to me.”
The confession immediately makes you rise up, supporting yourself on your forearm.
“Like what?”
“I dunno, made me… feel things. Shit like that.”
You try see his face in the dark, but he’s avoiding your gaze.
“Rex, look at me.” Your fingers graze on his neck, up to his jaw. You can sense gentle goosebumps on his skin.
Begrudgingly, and painfully slowly, he finally sets his green eyes on you. They’re glassier than usual, and it makes your throat thick instantly. But you can’t start crying before he does, so you take a deep breath and swallow down, hoping to delay the flood.
“You said it so… casual. Natural. Like it actually suits me.”
You take his hand and kiss each knuckle one by one, the touch of your lips like a petal on his real hand.
“Because it does.”
For a moment, long and heavy, he sits quietly. The only thing audible in the dark bedroom is the gentle hum of the AC.
“See, I want to believe you,” he manages to say after a while.
“But?”
“But I’m no angel. And you know it. I’ve been a dick to people—to Eve, to Mark… to you.” He almost breaks down from admitting what’s been sitting heavy on his heart, a few tears spilling down his cheeks. “And none of you deserved it.”
You take his chin between your fingers and turn his head towards you. “Just the fact you’re aware of it now, makes the world of a difference.”
Rex wipes the wetness away with the heel of his palm and looks at you with those big, emerald eyes. They’re full of hope, longing for forgiveness and something profound, but hard to name.
He smiles weakly. “Really?”
You grin back at him, your tears thankfully bravely held back. “Really really.”
He snorts and gently, playfully shoves you with what’s supposed to be a scary face. “Don’t you start quoting Shrek on me right now.”
“Or what?” You raise a brow, not in the slightest bit frightened.
Rex pounces on you, his fingers finding your ribs with practised ease. “You’re gonna regret calling me an angel.”
I absolutely LOVE all your posters. I was heartbroken when I realised they were for The Sims 2. Would you ever make them for The Sims 4? They're perfection.
My first inclination was to turn this down - I've got all of 6.5 hours clocked on TS4 lol - but then I got curious about what it would entail, so I looked into the process and it wasn't bad at all.
So! I converted my first set of travel posters and slapped up a new simblr just for TS4 stuff. I'll be working on more conversions this weekend, but you can grab Hello, World from sp4ceysims now. :)
Including the new logo since this is serving as my blog launch announcement...
Baxter: Autistic and prone to sensory overload, prompting him to wear long, dark, thick clothing to limit tactile input, and dark glasses to block out bright light. He is also rather paranoid about people touching or damaging his things (though given the behavior of his classmates, this may not be particularly unwarranted). His favorite times of day are math time & free play (where he talks to no one and performs “experiments” that he refuses to explain). When people are too close to him for too long he begins to become fidgety before devolving into a chant/growl of “bitebitebitebite!” and attempting to do so until he has been granted what he deems to be sufficient space. He had several permanent teeth come in early and crooked, so he wears large, intimidating metal braces that usually help to scare off his potential targets.
So I saw your Tid tokuboy post, and I was wondering if you could do Swartz if you haven't done him already?
Oh I've done already, it's right here, there's even a funny story behind it. It was requested by swartzarmy anonymously (but I know which one of the generals did it) for the very vocal Swartz hater @ nopedontknow. Needless to say they where pissed about this.
Can you do a transgender Kelly Severide fanfic? Maybe one where nobody at the firehouse knows at first but something happens and they all end up finding out?
Hey, thanks for the request. I will totally write a story in which Kelly is trans, but I’m not so up for writing a story in which he’s outed against his will. An example of a scenario I’d be happy to write is one where Kelly comes out to someone he wants to date, or discusses his transition with a friend (for instance maybe Herrmann suspects one of his kids is trans and comes to Kelly for advice). Let me know if one of these ideas appeals to you.
Can you please do a Sirius Black (marauders era) X Reader where the reader Is color blind and has a hard time telling colors apart an he helps her in potions....If not I understand
@rockis4ever Absolutely, that‘s an amazing request! Sorry I‘m only now replying, I haven‘t checked my inbox in awhile😅But I really look forward to writing it!
hey, ive read your character analysis and i dont know if youre still doing it but could you do one for bokuto? i love them(your analysis) btw! ((and if you dont do it anymore its fine!))
Hey, omg, sorry for the late reply, and thank you so much!! I’m super glad you enjoyed reading my character analysis ^-^
As for an analysis for Bokuto, I added it to my (very long) list of things I’m going to do someday sooner or (probably) later. I’ve given up on doing things when I don’t feel inspired, so I can’t tell you when I’ll decide to pick it up, but thanks a lot for the suggestion! I’ll get to it at some point :)
This is CreeSims. Would you mind if I put some of your art on Sims 2 meshes? I noticed your hobby posters would fit perfectly on the BV Travel mesh
Hi there! I'd rather do the hobby posters myself, so I'm going to treat this as a request -- I'd been bouncing around the idea of putting them on another mesh with some size add-ons anyway once I wrapped up the last set, so this settles that. :) But if there's anything else you'd like to put on other meshes, please feel free! <3
