4′11″ Jervis gets lovingly topped by a woman taller than him. Its 5am just posting this to garner interest will probably rewrite it all completely when I’m not half awake

Give our little man some love~

***

It was quite an unusual pairing one even he himself didn't think would ever happen. He had only ever had eyes for one woman and if he had to be honest with himself he knew he wasn't the type of man to be in the sights of ​many other people or really anyone at all.​

He'd long made peace with that and took joy in his own looks and lifestyle. He was far too busy for romance and worrying about the whims of women. Years of being a bachelor left him paying no mind even when the occasional person did look his way with interest. ​The hallucinations and constant badgering of voices in his head also helped to be sure he never took notice.

His own ignorance made sure he had never even noticed her getting so close to him. He was not unfamiliar with partnerships and working with others of his caliber. And the now obvious, as he looked back on it, compliments and constant attention from her went directly over his head. Sometimes literally.​ Not that she wasn't a lovely thing but well he just really never thought about it too much until one day she clapped her hands together and with a grin as bright as always said,

"Jervis you really are a genius!"

Kind words were not something he was often privy to and actually made him look to her. Often when he did he did so distractedly, his mind going much too quickly to catch the admiring gaze in her eye. But this time, so directly spoken to, he looked directly at her feeling his cheeks get just a smidge warmer. It was nice to be credited for his work. 

As much as he acted otherwise he did take immense pride in his academic achievements and work, people often forgot the scientist beneath the hat.​ Ready to return her kindness with a thank you he turned expecting her to be sitting waiting patiently as usual as he worked.

The sight that instead met his eyes made him completely freeze. She was indeed sitting there waiting for the next step of the device construction process, but was leaned forward so much trying to see his handiwork that her exponential cleavage was all but out in front of him. The dress she had worn, which he later would realize she wore on purpose, was low cut directly across her breasts and pushing them up making it very much nearly impossible not to have your eyes drawn to. The warmth in his cheeks flooded almost immediately and he feigned a cough so he could look away.

This was not the first time this had happened. Not even close, at his height being face to face with breasts wasn't something he was unused to. He tended to try to not make it obvious that he was looking and sometimes he honestly wasn't even trying to look; they would just always be at eye level. It would be funny if it didn't get him labeled a pervert. This time though he was sitting at the workbench somewhat more equally sat to her height so he didn't have an excuse. 

She seemed to not take any mind and waited for him to continue whatever he was about to say before his coughing fit. Eyes back to her he avoided looking down which was admittedly very hard as she seemed to have moved her arm under her chest resting comfortably against the table now. It was in that awkward moment of forced clarity and looking at her face he suddenly realized just how lovely she really was. Of course he knew that, but always so caught up with himself he didn't pay much mind. Maybe in his own obsession with Alice he had failed to remember her always there.

No that wasn't true was it? He often thought her quite beautiful. But the necessity of his work and the importance of her kindness in assisting him quite frankly left him afraid. He had no interest being hurt or rejected. And he knew a man like him had little chance with a woman like that. It wasn't easy to find someone who worked so well and treated him so kindly in a city like this. He couldn't very well scare her off with his own somewhat sad male wants. So he would simply deal with himself on his own time and move on like nothing happened forcing himself to think nothing more of anything.

The entire time he thought he still hadn't spoken which earned a quizzical hum from her sensing his possible confusion.

"Jervis?"

Quick tips to make your life less stressful:

Try to avoid studying minutes before the test -It’s only going to stress you out. Try lecturing each other with your friends.

Support others -Be positive and fight the stress together. Just giving someone quiet thumbs up can help.

Focus on the current problem -You look at first three questions and they all seem impossible and you panic. Just pick one and do not think about the other questions.

Structure your essays/ longer answers -When they ask you to write a short essay or really long anser, structure it in bullet points first and then put it into sentences.

It’s never as bad as you think it is

In reading exercises, read the questions first

Always have a spare pen, pencil and an eraser

Try to write at least something -Unless they take away points for wrong answers.

Find a technique to calm down -For someone works certain breathing, for me works naming colours I see in languages I don’t know well.

Finally taking a look at his new roommate it was hard to see where the computers ended and Darwin began. His chair glowed softly, cradling his artificial thin legs. his face was heavy, high cheekbones and a firm chin framed his gentle dark eyes and thick hairs had formed on his brow and chin. A black box was attached to his left temple. It gave an unevenness to his face, a sort of tilt that made him seem frailer despite the large chair and glowing left arm.

Lionesse's back leaned against the wall, her arms wrapped around her legs with her head on her knees. Her sleeves were rolled up, and beside her lay a discarded belt and assorted needles. She watched her feet, a shadow walking towards her. She looked up, it was Liz.

"Hmmm?" Lionesse managed a half-garbled sound.

Liz pointed at Lionesse, then made a mock gun with her hand, pointing her fingers at her arm. She then fake pulled the trigger, before making a slicing motion and pointing at Lionesse again. She then thumbed over at the elevator, an eyebrow raised in question.

He was a collection of boxes toppled together in a lazy fashion. His legs too thin, his arms too long. and his face was fit squarely onto his thin neck like a postbox. If he had anything going for him, it was his eyes. Blue almost silvery white and yet deep and watchful. He awoke from the drugged sleep most uneventfully, refusing to stretch and yawn. His reservations were exaggerated more than if he had faked it, but no one called him out. No one seemed to care one way or another. Perhaps it was the deep lazy expression on his face, or maybe it was the orange band he still wore from the colony. It would have no meaning on Earth, but here he was lesser. Here he was the presence of absence.

Introduction

This is the one section of IELTS Academic Writing that gives you more points than any other. With a good score in this section, you can get an overall band score of 7.0 or above. We will give you some tips that will help you achieve this goal smoothly.

Academic writing requires you to read extensively before you begin writing.

Reading extensively before starting the IELTS academic writing section is crucial for understanding expectations and finding sources for your own writing. This helps ensure a smooth and predictable writing process, ensuring no surprises and a smoother writing experience.

It's important to start an academic piece with a clear purpose.

In an academic essay, the introduction should clearly state the topic, its relevance to research, and its main focus. It should also include a summary of the paper, highlighting the main focus and the importance of the topic for others' attention. Finally, the introduction should include a thesis statement that explains the significance of the work.

Create a comprehensive introduction in an academic essay.

The introduction is crucial in an academic essay, providing background information and explaining the topic. It should also include an explanation of the thesis statement. The body paragraphs follow, supporting and elaborating on the introduction's points.

Provide a clear thesis statement and outline essay's main points.

At the beginning of an essay, provide a thesis statement and a clear outline of all points. Each paragraph should have a topic sentence, supporting details, and examples to organize ideas and explain them clearly. One of the top tips for IELTS writing is to use bullet points or numbers to make paragraphs easier to follow and maintain organization.

Utilize transition words and phrases for reader comprehension.

Transition words and phrases are essential for a reader to understand and follow your ideas in a paper.  

Use 'furthermore', 'in addition', 'also', or 'also' to introduce additional information, like free transport passes for students.  

Use 'however' to indicate an exception, like some students don't own cars, and 'therefore' when something follows logically from the previous statement, like ensuring every child has access to education.

Research results should include studied, tested and conclusions drawn from the studies.

When writing about research results, it's crucial to clearly explain the study or testing, its methodology, and the significance of the results. It's essential to discuss the experiments and ensure readers understand the significance of the findings.  

To effectively communicate research findings, it's essential to indicate the study or testing, the methods used, and the conclusions drawn from the tests or studies. For instance, a study on students' performance on standardized tests could show a 10% improvement in performance after lunch compared to before breakfast.

Use active voice instead of passive voice wherever possible.

The active voice is more direct, concise, and easier to read than the passive voice, making it clear who is doing what in a sentence. It can be confusing when focusing on an action rather than who performs it.  

For example, "was" indicates that someone did something to something else, which could be problematic if highlighting only one apple was eaten by someone else. The active voice is more appropriate for academic essays, as it requires precise language and clarity of thought over formality or politeness.  

Additionally, using active verbs helps avoid unnecessary repetition, which is often the case when using passives.

Minimize sentences for easy reading, ensuring meaning is not lost.

The IELTS Academic Writing test evaluates an essay's academic writing skills. With 30 minutes to write on a given topic, it's crucial to use the time wisely. To ensure effective writing and high marks, avoid using long sentences, which can be difficult for readers to follow.  

Short sentences are easier for non-native English speakers, but there's a balance between shortness and conciseness. For example, a concise answer like "pretty good" can convey enough information about the essay's topic without getting lost in the complexities.

Practice makes perfect!

The IELTS Academic Writing test evaluates your academic writing skills, with a 30-minute time frame for an essay on a given topic. To achieve high marks, follow these tips:

The essay must answer a question and provide examples or explanations within the given 50-minute timeframe. To prepare, practice writing regularly, as more writing leads to better writing skills. When preparing for IELTS exam or TOEFL iBT Writing Test, use free sample answers as much as possible.
