There is a lingerie place near me that is fantastic, big size range, staff are amazing, but what they carry tends to be quite delicate and a little on the pricier range for me, and I really just want to get some CHEAP bras that FIT for everyday wear and tear in addition to the nicer and prettier ones I can get from this place. Idc if they only last me a year, I just need some bras that I can wear out.

I got fitted at this place just the other day, and had a fantastic experience, and it looks like I am a 36 I, and since then I've been on the hunt for bras that are at or below $60. It's ridiculous to me that I can get a 5 pack of underwear for $15 bucks in my size easily, but bras I have to take out a small loan for. And my friends that are smaller sized, they can find bras for half the price at better qualities! I'm sorry, but material volume is not making up that price difference. Ugh. Point being - where are we buying bras that fit at least up to an I size, and won't drain my pockets?

(Reposted with the correct title format)

Read it on ao3, explicit rating, relatively short fic probably between 15-30k words (but don’t quote me on that).

Cringe is dead buuuut bear with me here - I believe it was an a/b/o au, Stiles worked at a bakery/cafe with Scott, and theres this regular who comes in (Derek) who’s mostly silent, maybe a little rude, and all he does is sit and work away at a novel (or maybe a research paper?) on his laptop. Stiles has made flirting attempts that haven’t really got him anywhere. Stiles also happens to be broke, and is looking to make some money.

He finds a personal ad online of somebody seeking a partner for a scent based “chase” (specifically platonic in nature, this is an explicit fic tho so we’ll see how long that lasts). They offer a huge sum, so Stiles goes for it even though it looks kind of dubious and against the recommendations of his friends/co workers (I think mostly Scott but Allison might work with them as well?)

The ad required specific instructions, I think the chaser was looking to conserve anonymity. Stiles shows up at agreed upon location, and creates a scent trail by running through the woods surrounding a hiking trail and dropping scented clothes as he goes. He gets kind of into it when he realizes the chaser (whos blindfolded and following via scent only) has arrived and is starting to follow him, he comes up with ways on the fly to throw the guy off and it gets increasingly exhilarating for both of them. Eventually, the chaser catches up with him, and they have a near breach of their agreement, when hopped up on adrenaline, the atmosphere becomes less platonic and more sexual in nature (I don’t remember the specifics, but the chaser breaks things off at that point)

Stiles goes back to his regular job, richer but kind of disappointed he didn’t get the identity of the mystery guy. He goes into a surprise heat at work? And the regular, Derek (who was the anonymous chaser), scents him and goes nuts to help him because he recognizes his scent from the chase, and they do a heat share under mildly dubious conditions because obvi there wasn’t a lot of time to have a rational conversation ahead, but it was as mutually consensual as it could have been all considered, and afterwards they realize they’re well suited for one another and ends with them pursuing a relationship

That’s about all I remember, help appreciated!

I’m in the post game, really all I have left to do are a handful of the prophesies and then contractor/weapon upgrades. I can’t seem to adjust to exagryph’s attack because it doesn’t halt? stun? enemies, the way attacks from every other weapon do. I’ve done builds that focus on the special instead, and that’s the only way I can really use it comfortably. I haven’t upgraded any of it’s aspects, and maybe that’s playing a part too. Any reccs that’ll make me want to use it on more run throughs?
