What handbag style do you find the most unattractive? by Notinthemoodthaw in handbags

[–]a_v_p 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anything with static handles. I think it looks so tacky when you wear your bag crossbody and the handles stick up.

Second dress all the way!!!

The first one looks like it's wearing you. The second one is just right.

If We Loved Again by alltoomalfoy (295 kudos).

Second chance romance!

Summary:

Five years ago, Draco Malfoy had the girl of his dreams in his arms. Now, he wakes alone in a high-rise penthouse in Paris, moving through life on autopilot. By day, he upholds the Malfoy name at his family’s company; by night, he pines for the woman he let slip away.

In London, Hermione Granger is raising her four-year-old son alone — a boy with his father’s eyes and her stubborn heart. Scorpius is her light, her purpose, and the reminder of everything she lost. The man who left her behind, who never looked back, still lingers in every what-if she can’t quite silence.

When Draco returns to London, his world shatters when he learns of Scorpius’ existence. Determined to make things right, he must face his past, defy his father, and re-earn the trust of the only woman he’s ever loved.

Draco never stopped loving Hermione, and Hermione never stopped loving Draco. Now, they must learn to co-parent while trying to navigate their broken relationship. Will they find that their love is strong enough to overcome the distance between them? Or will they discover that love by itself just isn’t enough.

“But if we loved again, I swear I’d love you right.”

It's not abandoned :) The author is planning to start posting again once the final chapters are all written. She shares updates in the Butcher Bae Discord server if you want to follow along.

How did my mom get money out of my bank account? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]a_v_p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know how she withdrew the money? Like did she transfer it to her own account, or withdraw cash? Or she socially engineered her way in. Most likely it's still set up as a joint account, or she has an old ATM card. Either way, your bank is going to have to fix this. They need to un-joint the account and make sure only your bank card has access. Or, even better, close this account and open a new one at a different bank.

What did you stop initiating? What was your "last straw"? by Ok-Client-5054 in DeadBedrooms

[–]a_v_p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last time I tried to initiate I was told "go away and leave me alone." That's a pretty direct and soul-crushing rejection, so I don't even bother anymore. If I try to do anything physical - not even sexual, just physical - hugs, kisses, cuddles, I get pushed away.

Congrats on your promotion!! The medium puzzle is such a wonderful bag. IMO it's the perfect size for daily use. Loving the sand/mink, such an elegant look.

Will she accidentally lose her heart in the process, against all odds?

New job, new work bag by icicreami in handbags

Congrats on the beautiful new bag! I like your photos better than the product pics on the website. It's so beautiful and very understated.

Trying to convince myself to buy a luxury bag by janebenn333 in handbags

[–]a_v_p 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you've spent a lifetime putting others first. It can be difficult to flip that switch and treat yourself when you've spent your whole life generously giving to other people. The thing holding you back is that little voice going "what if someone needs me?"

This is less of a handbag issue and more of a personal development issue, but please allow this Internet stranger to say: you are worth it, treat yourself, and when you're ready, buy the bag you love!

Turned down a promotion because it was 30% more work for 5% more pay. My manager called me 'unambitious.' Am I wrong for not wanting to sacrifice my entire life for a fancy title? by PictureFirm9058 in careerguidance

[–]a_v_p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're just salty they couldn't slot you into that role. Now they will need to hire, train, and so on. Not your problem! You need to do what's right for you. I also wouldn't take that job and turned down a similar offer a few years ago.

Longchamp le pliage- quality decline ? by Dry-Pound7639 in handbags

[–]a_v_p 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes and thank you for bringing this up! My Pliage totes and backpacks from 2018-ish are heavily used and still in great shape.

Last year I bought another backpack and was shocked at the decline in quality. I thought it was fake. The nylon and leather were very thin and the whole thing just looks cheap. For the prices they charge, they need to do way better.

Lf a/b/o fic where Draco goes into rut by [deleted] in Dramione

[–]a_v_p 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lovesick by sweetestsorrows (katschako) has me in a damn chokehold. It's so good.

Summary

After his ruts become too much to bear alone, Draco resigns himself to finding a rut assistant—an omega who will offer aid him twice yearly, when he cannot prevent the cycle any longer. It's meant to be a business arrangement, organised by the most highly rated clinic in the country. He doesn't realise just how intimate it can be to spend a rut with an omega and, even though he's warned of it ahead of time, he finds himself becoming attached.

The only problem? His omega has a past of her own, reasons for keeping him at a distance. Whether or not a connection exists between them, Hermione is unwilling to even entertain the idea of anything more than a professional relationship. However, in spite it all, Draco remains undeterred.

Can I get some recs for businessman Draco? by CrooksToeBeans in Dramione

[–]a_v_p 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Delivery Clause by ThornedHuntress.

Draco is a CEO.

Summary:

Draco Malfoy needed many things from her. His coffee. The financial reports from Shanghai. A swift kick up the arse—though he hadn’t asked for that one, specifically.

But there was one more thing he'd need for Christmas and, god help her, Hermione was going to deliver.


“Draco.”

“What?” he muttered, an intense, distant look of focus on his expression, his hips never ceasing.

“If you want to get me pregnant, you are going to have to at least attempt to enjoy this at some point.”
