idk how unique of an experience this is (it probably isn't), but i don't self-insert when i read or write x reader. it's not about me. i'm just in the cuck chair. and it's probably a good thing, because if i, as i am, get put on a spaceship with a database of every single text that has ever been digitally published, i'm spending all my time reading scholarly works that bullshit academic gatekeeping has kept me from accessing. sorry about the state of the earth and all that, but i'm reading about victorian novelty taxidermy.
oh, eva stratt, you would love the phrase "geh mit gott, aber geh."*
* loosely translates to "go with god, but go", essentially "godspeed, but leave right now", similarly to something like "good riddance" or "don't let the door hit you on the way out", but a bit punny. sometimes it's meant to come off as snarky as it sounds, sometimes it's just something you tell your friend as banter.
the first time you go over to ryland's place, he's going haywire. nervous, doesn't quite know where to put his hands once he gets them on you. you try to take it slow (so he doesn't have an aneurysm) and start with making out and dry-humping in his lap, but you're so soft and so warm against him, and your mouth tastes so good, and the little sounds you make just get to him. and, long story short, he cums in his pants right then and there.
he's SO embarrassed about it. what is he, a teenager? come on now. but you reassure him. it's fine, you knew he was on a bit of a dry spell before, and honestly, seeing just how much something as simple as grinding yourself against his clothed cock turned him on... was kind of hot, actually.
and then ryland gets that determined little glint in his eye. he's still a bit shy, but he's eager to prove he can do better than that, now. "wanna put my mouth on you until i can get hard again. can i? please?" and trust, you are not saying no to that one.
he gets caught up in it, his head between your legs, his tongue laving you. he was half-hard again by your second orgasm, and by your third he's beading precum. now, you could push him away, ask him to fuck you, but part of you wants to see if he'll come again, just from pleasuring you.

if you ever want to hurt yourself a little bit, think about how in guilty sadist, reader is working under the assumption that ryland will move on once the hail mary is out of earth's orbit. it hurts them, but it's a hurt they're willing to endure if it means having him until then. they want him to live his life on earth in relative peace, and they want him to think about them fondly, and they tell themself that that's enough. in last meal, ryland says he wants to make sure they don't forget this last time they get to have sex, and when reader reassures him, they explicitly say they will remember him. not just the hookups, but him, all of him, and it's a promise, but it's also a plea for him to do the same.
and then they wake up at tau ceti, and ryland is there. but he looks at them like they're a stranger. can't even remember their name. and they realize that he never made the same promise they did.
the thing you have to understand about jack the ripper is that much of the mythos surrounding him is an invention of the media. we know next to nothing about the guy, including how many people he killed. at least half of the eleven commonly discussed whitechapel murders could have been a series of largely unrelated femicides committed mostly independently of one another. some of the murders could have been the work of copycats. even with the "canonical five", which are thought by experts to most likely be the work of the "original jack the ripper", there's some debate.
i could talk all day about how the ways the ripper murders were handled by the public and the media were in a sense a portent for the modern true crime community, but smarter people than me have already done so. the point is, it was an international panic spurred on by the media, both serious and sensationalist newspapers. there were anonymous tips and claims of responsibility, but i hazard a guess that they were mostly if not entirely fabricated.
people were talking about this. the "guy murdering only prostitutes" thing was used to spread propaganda against sex workers, even though most of his victims weren't even sex workers. but it made for better headlines, so the media ran with it. similarly, the murders were used to spread racist, antisemitic and classist sentiments, because they took place in whitechapel, which was crowded with immigrants, especially irish and jewish people. there were a lot of hoaxes, including one paper claiming they received a piece of kidney allegedly belonging to one of the victims, because people have always been people. the newspapers fuelled a pervasive sense of paranoia, because it was good for business, because, well, people have always been people, i guess.
all of this made for fertile ground for baseless accusations. so when richard mansfield saw a lot of success playing jekyll and hyde in the first stage adaptation of r.l. stevenson's novel, people jumped on it, because he was too good at portraying a guy (and a doctor, no less, when the ripper murders often had a surgical component) who pretended to be nice, proper and respectable, but actually committed heinous crimes on the down-low. it didn't help that at the time, acting, especially for women, was still often synonymous with sex work. the police received one letter from a theatergoer accusing mansfield, who then had to issue a public statement and put on a comedy performance for the benefit of a refuge fund for reformed sex workers. the mansfield ripper thing was never truly huge, but there was some hubbub about it before the public moved on to the next thing.
so yeah. maybe it's good that hasselhoff was the one they cast in the musical, because a better actor might have been accused of being, like, the zodiac killer or something.
ohhh my god jekyll and hyde. brother let me tell you. oh man. i have been obsessed with the novella since i was fourteen. as in, i have read it religiously at least once a year since i was fourteen. i've read so many scholarly works about it. once i went on a several day hunt down several internet rabbit holes trying to find the script of the 1887 stage play that got leading actor richard mansfield accused of being jack the ripper because he was too good at his job. not joking. that actually happened. ohhhh the things i could say about hundred and fifty years of stage adaptations.
point is, i'm normal. i'm so so normal and neurotypical and i think about the strange case of dr jekyll and mr hyde a totally normal amount and you can't prove otherwise because i've never been formally diagnosed with autism.
this upcoming eva fic truly is for everyone who has ever wanted to commit crimes not just with eva but for her. not joking, reader is CRAZY in this. if this were a medieval setting, they would have toppled kingdoms for her without hesitation, damn the consequences. i mean this entirely without hyperbole. not a thing in the world they wouldn't do for their wife.
the other week when i went to the natural history museum with my Certified Crazy Russian Friend™ and ranted about how insanely fucking cool horseshoe crabs are and also that dimetrodon is not a dinosaur, please stop calling it a dinosaur, and she nodded along, asked some questions and cracked a bunch of jokes the entire time... that was really ilyukhina and grace coded of us, i think.

corrupting ryland, but in a dom sort of way. "look at what you're making me want to do to you. i never used to be like this. you make me want to be mean to you." telling you he wouldn't have to punish you if you just behaved. but you're not going to do that, are you? because you like it. he never had a desire to hurt anyone until he heard the kinds of sounds it draws from you. you're ruining him and he couldn't be happier about it.
needdd to go on a little bookstore date with ryland.
you get yourselves your fun beverage of choice and just browse the stacks for hours. it's the perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon.
ryland immediately makes a beeline for the kids' nonfiction section to look for books to put in his classroom. sometimes, flipping through books, he gets visibly frustrated if he feels like they're dumbing down the science a little too much, because, come on, kids can absolutely understand complex concepts, you just have to put in the work and explain them the right way! it's so condescending! meanwhile you get to stand beside him and rub his shoulders until he's done being indignant. if that doesn't work, you can always wait until there's a break in his ramble to give him a little kiss. it helps that seeing him so passionate is also really attractive.
you might drift apart while browsing, especially if you have different tastes in books, but you know each other well enough to always have a general idea of where the other is — if you lose ryland, you just have to check the science section, or the sci-fi novels, or, perhaps weirdly, the tables where they keep the kitschy cozy murder mysteries. we all have our guilty pleasures. his favorite author is, of course, douglas adams.
once, when he found you again after being in different parts of the store for a while, he pretended not to know you and tried to roleplay a little meet-cute. he didn't get too far into it, though, because he flustered himself and got a little tongue-tied over you.
nothing in the world will make him happier than walking beside you carrying your stack of chosen books and listening to you point out every book you've already read and what you liked and didn't like about them.
if you read a lot of classics and older literature, he might jokingly call you pretentious, but then he immediately follows it up by saying he thinks it's really cool, actually, because he could never really get into classic lit, and he thinks it's really impressive that you read someone like dostojewski for fun. if you like horror and thrillers, that might make him a bit squeamish, especially if they're more on the psychological side. he can handle a bit of blood and guts, he's a biologist, but he's also a bit soft-hearted. if you like extremely long fantasy series, he definitely shares the enthusiasm, even though he hasn't had time to really dig into any long-running series for years now. will happily listen to you talk about cool world building stuff for hours, however!
if you're into romance, especially smutty romance, you can have a lot of fun wit it. pick up a book, flip through it and suggest you're interested in trying to recreate some of the scenes for a critical hit. he might be flushed and rubbing the back of his neck and chewing on the inside of his cheek, but rest assured, he's going to read that book now, and when he does, he's taking notes. researching. putting in the work. it's a very rigorous academic process. you're getting your book back with like five hundred color-coded tabs.
dadboy ryland anon here i wanted to thank you (again) for asnwering my ask about the breeding kink man i ate that UP😭🫶 it was genuinely so good and i was so glad to see you put a little bit of pregnancy in there. (little ashamed of the kink but its my truth)
10/10 no notes absolutely yummy food thank thank thank [insert rocky's jazz hands]
you are SO welcome!! i have an insane amount of thoughts about ryland and breeding/pregnancy kink. please never feel ashamed, you are among friends here!! tysm for your kind words <3
i am home at last, after even more public transport, uhm, adventures. i'll take some time to rest and recuperate, but then i'm locking in and finishing that eva x reader fic and hopefully answering some requests.
