I am also not adding my Tag list this time because, being the first more mature fic I've posted, I won't assume everyone on my tag list would appreciate it.
Summary: Bells gets a new shirt and shows it off. Crosshair and Bells play an enticing game involving teasing and a secluded garden.
Warnings: This one gets a touch spicy, friends. So minors, shoo! Description of heavy make-out and Sexual allusions and build-up.
Bells threw on her pants, light, airy linen and her lightest coverage top for swimming. She slipped on her sandals and her eyes fell on a sheer white top she'd recently acquired. Her eyes sparkled mischievously and she threw on the top, admiring herself in the mirror then skipped out her door, now on a particularly fun mission, down to the beach.
She felt his eyes before she saw him, an exhilarating shiver ran down her spine, and she turned, locking eyes with Crosshair for one electric moment, before walking directly past him.
Crosshair’s eyes narrowed and he kept a few steps behind, enjoying the view, but also curious as to where she would lead him.
She stopped, chatting to a few villagers at one stall, pointedly glancing over her shoulder, a teasing challenge in just one look.
Crosshair's glare intensified and he turned his chilling gaze on any who dared to venture to close, stalked up behind Bells and hovered over her shoulder. He saw her jaw tighten, two can play this game, he thought. He leaned in, Bells angled her head to the side just slightly giving him room and his lips touched her ear as he spoke, "Bells, teasing me like this... Perhaps I should take you somewhere and show you what that does to me."
She smiled, leaning to press her body against Crosshair where he’d leaned in to whisper, "Tsk. I thought snipers were patient. Maybe you're losing your touch." She pulled away abruptly, Crosshair staggering slightly at the sudden shift, and walked away, cheeky grin wide as she glanced over her shoulder. She knows he will follow.
She walked slowly, agonizingly slowly, around the streets of Pabu, Crosshair trailing a few paces behind, glaring daggers at anyone who looked too closely. He watched as the wind shifted Bells's ginger hair, her sheer top pulling tighter one moment, hanging loosely the next. His hands itch to touch her.
She led them, finally, into a small garden, not unlike the location of their first kiss at the Lifeday Festival. She turned to face him, back pressing against the wall.
Crosshair crossed the garden quickly, long strides taking up much of the space with ease and pressing his body against her eagerly, "Would you like to see if I've lost my touch, Bells?"
She laughed, that bright, dangerously infectious laugh, and gripped his waist pulling him to press more against her, "I can't wait..."
He captured her mouth in a hungry kiss, both his hands sliding underneath her sheer blouse, tracing a trail of fire upward. His hands find the softness of her breasts and he kneads at them slowly before pulling down the fabric to free them entirely.
Bells gasped at his touch and responded in equal yearning, kissing back and gently nipping at his lips with her teeth, her hands pulling at the waist of his pants and keeping their bodies flush together.
His kisses trail down her neck and one hand moves around to lift her up and press her once again into the wall. Her legs wrap around his waist and she rolls her hips against him. “Bells–” his voice is a strained low growl, she laughed again and he captured the laugh on her lips, the bright bubbling sound cut off by needy kisses.
Her fingers tangle in his white curls, pulling just enough to lean his head back while she continues to roll her hips against him. Her voice is deep, heavy with need, “Is it safe to assume you like the shirt, Cross?” He groaned as her hips moved just right, “It’s fine, Cyare, but right now it’s in the way.”
(this came out of a conversation in the comments on a previous post about an author threatening to stop updating a fic because of lack of engagement)
So there’s this idea that fic writers should write for themselves and not care too much about stats or engagement,
and i totally get the sentiment behind that. if writing becomes entirely about stats and external validation, something important does get lost - creative freedom and joy, conviction in your own writing
but i also think:
“i write for myself, but i post for others.”
because posting fic is not only self-expression. it’s social. ao3 is called an archive, but emotionally it often functions as a community space.
people post for connection, for participation, for others to bear witness to their pain and trauma and grief,
and i don’t think most people are asking to be admired so much as acknowledged. there’s something deeply human about wanting another person to encounter something that mattered to you and go:
“ok, yeah, I see what you were trying to say. I see you.”
especially because fanfic is often people processing very real feelings through fictional characters at a safe distance, one step removed,
and then uploading that deeply personal thing into a shared archive and hoping somebody else might connect with it.
And i think that’s why it hurts so much when you summon up the courage and post a fic into the void and you get nothing back,

I don’t know why I watch videos about osha violations that happen in movies and video games but I’ve been doing it for years at this point and something about it is still very entertaining
It’s fun for some reason to look at something that was designed purely to be cool to look at and not to be used and go “hey none of these people are wearing hard hats”
Don't be fooled by the title; the majority of this guy's videos about "is X game realistic?" focuses on whether or not regulators would approve the lack of handrails on a given catwalk
Normalize leaving unhinged comments on ao3 fics you like. I'm tired of being the only one brave enough to write "I am chewing on this fic" in the comment section. Be weird. Authors will love you for it

what they don’t tell you about being a writer is that returning to a long fic you haven’t touched in a while means rereading 50k words first because you don’t actually remember your own fics that well
feeling guilty over not working on your fic is so silly if you think about like why are you stressing over the hobby you do in your free time for fun lol wip not whip
Jedi telekinesis makes me feral because this is a thing.
The fact that they can hold without holding. The fact that they can cradle their own crystal souls without touching. Like the crystal is a firefly they're cupping with a grip so light it's actually light itself.
They can hold butterflies without killing them. The hands wielding the unfathomable power of the universe can be the gentlest of hands, gentler than a breeze.
It looks so magical and soft and peaceful qsdfghgfdfghfds I love them
Conventions are relative to the culture they crop up in. When you're at the HOA barbecue with Karen and Daryl whose chief online activities consist of diet blogging and MLM conscription, Captain Gantu (Lilo & Stitch 2002) is not conventionally attractive, he has a fish for a head and that makes it pretty difficult to rate his cheekbone-to-jawline ratio. When you're on tumblr with a bunch of alien fucking gremlins anything upright with a readily discernible face is vanilla.
