Stop Feeling Hopeless, Start Getting Ready

stop feeling hopeless, start getting ready

If you are in a red state, your state either has an abortion ban in place or is rated by the Guttmacher Institute as likely to enact a ban. Your focus should be on protecting yourself and others who need abortions.

stop using electronic period tracking apps or software

educate yourself and others about pregnancy prevention and join groups that are making preventative birth control more accessible

learn the nearest and most accessible routes to states where you and your loved ones can access abortion

contribute to mutual aid funds to help transport people over state lines if they are in need of abortion

consider joining The Satanic Temple so you can claim protections under the Religious Abortion Ritual if you are prosecuted for obtaining an abortion

keep a stock of by-mail abortion pills for yourself and/or others who may need them (you may need to travel out of state to obtain them)

form community provider networks and see if you or someone you know can be trained to use manual vacuum aspiration kits or a Del-Em

all of the above should be done in complete secrecy using verbal communication, end-to-end encrypted apps such as Signal, or a VPN

If you are in a yellow state, you currently have constitutional abortion protections but they are in jeopardy. Get active in local political groups NOW to fight back against constitutional amendments to ban abortion. Your focus should be purely on political action.

If you are in Michigan, you currently have a ban in place which is being challenged, and your governor is working to add abortion protections into the Michigan state constitution. Your focus should be on supporting the work that is currently under way.

If you are in a green state, your state has constitutional protections for abortion that are unlikely to be challenged. Your focus should be on helping others to enter your state for abortion care.

connect with abortion access groups such as Aid Access, Abortion on Demand, the National Network of Abortion Funds, or Just The Pill

volunteer to help people enter your state for abortion care, either with transportation help or letting someone crash on your couch

if you live in a green state with no current or predicted primary routes from other states for abortion access, you can focus your efforts on supporting political action in other areas

If you are in a purple state, your state currently has no constitutional protections for abortion but is unlikely to implement a ban. You have two focuses: pushing for constitutional protections AND helping others to enter your state for abortion care (see green state list).

White. White and bright. The smell of sanitiser stung his nose. What was the use of all of this really? To hope for another day of uncertain safety? The workers on white and grey scrubs held the metal bars connected to his uncomfortable leather collar as they walked on either side of him. His eyes were almost closed and his feet barely lifted from the ground as he walked. What was the point anyway? Taehyung knew he was going to die. Be one of the many bodies in a plastic bag left out back of the shelter in the alleyway until someone came to collect the small pile built on bones.

The hallway was so bright yet his vision was too blurry to notice, too lifeless to care. Even as they turned the last corner and he noticed the bright red at the end of the hallway, contrasting against the white, he didn’t care. Not when chances of survival were close to a definitive 0%. His striped tail almost brushed the floor as he let it hang completely. There was no use in showing his emotions. No one would care.

“-save him.” A faint voice lit a glimmer of hope in Taehyung’s eyes. The soft and frightened voice travelled to his ears and nestled deeply into his heart. His heartbeat picked up as he tried to turn his ears this way and that to try and catch the voice again.

The buzzing of the outside world was long gone to the furthest corner of the shelter. That voice was inside. What was he doing here? Get away! Run!

But Taehyung couldn’t get to the voice, he was too far away. He started struggling against the metal bars in the workers’ hands as he tried to turn around.

“Hey!” One of the workers jerked the metal, sending the tiger hybrid tumbling to the floor with a growl. The sound of footsteps filled his head with pain as he turned in on himself to hide from the anger of the workers.

“Wait!” A pair of feet moved quickly towards him. “I’ll take him!” The mixed scents of familiar and unfamiliar filled his sensitive nose.

“I’ll take him,” The stranger’s voice repeated.

The workers looked nervously at each other. They slowly let the hybrid go as he slumped down to the floor in their grasp.

“You can leave.” The statement left no room for argument and the two workers left them alone at the end of the hallway.

Taehyung let out a shuddered breath as Jungkook’s arms engulfed him. The strange woman handed her handbag over to the large Wolf hybrid before sinking to her knees in front of them.

“Hi.” She said carefully as she bowed her head to try and see his face. “It’s okay. We’re not going to hurt you.” She held out her hand. “I’ll take you with me home. How does that sound?” She tried to smile. She waited patiently for him to look up at her.

“You’re Taehyung, right?” She extended her hand slightly, showing him her open palm. He nodded against Jungkooks shoulder as he perked up at her through his white bangs.

“It’s a pretty name.” She said with a smile, shocking the tiger hybrid slightly.

“What do you think, Namjoon?” (Y/N) turned to look at the canine hybrid. He turned from looking down the other way with a slightly confused look before remembering what he was doing. She giggled quietly at catching him guarding her back once again.

“It’s okay, Namjoon, easy.” She reached her other hand out for him to take, and brought him closer. “Let’s go home.” She declared.

Namjoon bounced his leg restlessly where he sat on the stiff couch in the waiting room. His ears flickered at every little sound nervously. He could hear (Y/N) talking to the receptionist around the corner and the tiger hybrid, Taehyung nervous fiddling, probably as he held Jungkook’s hand.

He practically shot out of his seat when he heard them walking back to the waiting room.

“Namjoon? Calm down.” (Y/N) smiled reassuringly, rubbing her hand up and down his arm. He nodded and took a breath. “Let’s sit. There checking the paperwork.” She brought the other two hybrids to sit on the uncomfortable couch. Sitting in between Namjoon and Jungkook, she rubbed up and down the wolf hybrid’s thigh as he kept looking around at every little sound. Taehyung was curled up against Jungkook’s side.

“Miss (Y/N)?” A worker came into the waiting room with a stack of paper in her hand.

“Yes?” (Y/N) stood up but had to place a hand on Namjoon’s shoulder to stop him from rising too.

“We need one more signature and then you’re welcome to pay. Then they’re all yours.” Her smile was sickly sweet to match her sickly sweet words. It made (Y/N)’s skin crawl but she just followed the worker back to the receptionist’s desk.

“Thank you.” (Y/N) said quietly as Namjoon handed back her handbag to her. The four of them walked closely together to keep from getting lost in the thickening lunch rush of people.

“I can’t believe it took so long.” She mumbled as she checked the time. “At least we can go home now- oh right, Jinnie asked if we would be able to buy some stuff.” None of them was in the city that often because of the risk but some things had been out of stock when they went grocery shopping last time. (Y/N) glanced back at the two hybrids walking behind them, holding hands.

“Is it okay if I just run to the store?” Jungkook seemed to think for a moment before nodding, tugging at Taehyung’s hand before they all started walking again. The tiger hybrid kept his head down as he focused on the comforting feeling of Jungkook’s hand holding his. It was strange. How he was so sure he would be dead by now. His body was still shaking slightly as he followed these strangers. Jungkook had told him how they saved him yesterday and about all the other hybrids waiting for them “at home”. He was scared it was all in Jungkook’s head. The youngest tended to see everything around him with rose-coloured glasses on, he just didn’t want him to be hurt again.

“You can wait out here.” (Y/N) said as she handed the adoption papers to Namjoon as he herded the younger hybrids to stand closer to the brick wall outside the small store.

“I’m sure I’ll only be a couple of minutes.” She patted Namjoon’s bicep before hurrying inside with a steady grip on the shoulder strap of her bag.

The shop was small and fairly empty but it seemed like it had a decent amount of different things. (Y/N) didn’t even bother to grab a basked as she headed straight for the few ingredients Seokjin had asked for.

“Hello, sweetie.” An elderly man greeted her behind the counter as she put the wares down.

“Is that all?”

“I’ll have a first aid kit and a large pack of hybrid heat suppressants too please.” She said as she noticed the small apothecary assortment locked in a glass box behind the man.

“Of course.” She tried not to tap her foot against the floor as the elderly man moved slowly. “How many hybrids do you have?” The man asked innocently as he finally grabbed the right things.

“A few.” She answered vaguely as she was finally able to pay. The elderly man just chuckled as he helped her pack the things into a bag.

“Thank you.” She said as she took the bag and hurried outside.

She turned to the left just outside the sliding doors, expecting to see Namjoon’s large figure but the three hybrids were nowhere in sight.

“Namjoon?!” She almost dropped the bag ask she looked around in panic. She stopped a few by-passers asking if they had seen a large wolf hybrid but no one seemed to know anything. She hurriedly turned into an alley before the risk of anyone recognising her became too great. A rustle behind her caused her skin to crawl as she slowly turned around. Relief washed over her as she noticed a striped tail peek out from behind a pile of boxes.

“Taehyung?” She called as she quietly snuck forward. A small whimper came in an answer as she looked around the corner and saw Taehyung clutching a bundle of papers against his chest- the adoption papers she noticed as she caught sight of the shelter’s logo.

“Taehyung.” She sighed in relief as she knelt next to him. His ears were pinned into his slightly curly hair as tears were streaming down his round cheeks.

“What happened?” She asked as she extended her hand to him. He whimpered again before taking her hand and crawling forward.

“Kookie wanted to look at something up ahead so we walked over there but I lost them somehow.

“At least Joon gave you your papers in case you got lost.” She smiled fondly. “Come on, show me what Kookie wanted to look at.” They stood up just as hurried footsteps rounded the corner. Namjoon stood panting at the entrance of the alley with Jungkook right behind him.

“I couldn’t smell him anymore.” Namjoon’s ears flattened against his head as the two walked up to him.

“I’m so sorry, Taehyung.” The tiger hybrid just shook his head dismissively as (Y/N) gave the wolf hybrid a teasing tug at the leather collar around his neck.

“Everything worked out in the end. Now let’s get home and stop beating ourselves up. Okay?” The three boys agreed before falling silent.

“Finally!” Seokjin called with a slightly annoyed tone. “We’ve been worried sick over here while you were running around the city.” He grabbed (Y/N) and Namjoon around the shoulders with one last sigh as he hugged them. (Y/N) let out an unsteady sight.

“Woah, did something happen? You’re shaking.” Seokjin pulled away to turn his full focus on her. She closed her eyes for a moment.

“We might have given her a slight heart attack.” Namjoon chuckled sheepishly as his ears turned down at the eldest glare.

“I’m fine. I just need some food and a good nap.” She smiled at Seokjin. The feline nodded as he eagerly pulled her to sit down in one of the unsteady camping chairs.

“But-“

“No buts, Joon watch her while I make food,” Seokjin said as he pointed at her. The wolf chuckled as he made his way over.

Jungkook stood with Taehyung’s hand in his in a tight grip as he watched them fuss over the human.

“See? They’re all really nice.” He whispered to the tiger hybrid as he nudged his side with his elbow.

“Jungkookie!” Hoseok called excitedly as he came from the lake with a bucket. Taehyung shrunk back behind the bunny hybrid as he came closer after putting the bucket down. Hoseok’s ears pressed into his hair as he slowed his movement.

“Come on, help me with the fish.” He nodded to the bucket as his tail wagged behind him. Taehyung glanced at Jungkook before he was tugged over to join the others by the firepit. He was grateful they didn’t seem like they were too interested in pushing him.

Namjoon was sitting on the ground by (Y/N) feet with his head heavy in her lap as she scratched between his ears as his slightly bushy tail sweeper up dust behind him. (Y/N) had her head back against the side of the trailer with her eyes closed again, relishing in the feeling of Namjoon’s happy grumbling sounds against her thigh.

Taehyung studied them for a moment after the three of them sat down in a half-circle on the other side of the stone ring.

“Are they back?” Yoongi came up behind Seokjin in the small kitchen while rubbing his eyes tiredly.

“Hello, sleeping beauty.” Seokjin smiled over his shoulder as the panther hybrid started rubbing his cheek in between the older’s shoulder blades while giving a satisfied rumble deep in his chest.

“Yeah, they managed to save Jungkook’s friend. But apparently, they startled (Y/N) a bit. I made Namjoon watch her to make sure she’s resting.” Seokjin turned around and wrapped his arms around Yoongi’s neck as the younger wrapped his arms around his slim waist in return. Seokjin leaned his head down into his neck in a light scenting gesture as his uneven purring started.

“What are you making?” Yoongi tried to stay focused but quickly melted against the other’s chest as he scented him in return.

“Just something small. I looked up food that’s light on the stomach for Jungkook. He seems to be a bit malnourished, same with Taehyung.” And true to his words, (Y/N)’s laptop sat open on the bar counter facing the couch. Yoongi hummed before he turned and planted his face into Seokjin’s chest vibrating as he laughed at the gesture.

“Jinnie?” (Y/N) called from outside, effectively breaking the two feline hybrids from their embrace as they headed outside. Her eyes were still closed but Namjoon had moved in between her legs to place more of his upper body in her lap as she fiddled with the short hair on his neck.

“Yes, darling?” He said in a jokingly sweet voice, watching her chuckle as she cracked an eye open at them.

“Hi Yoon, were you napping?” Said hybrid hummed in response. “Jinnie when is that food getting here?” She whined.

“Ya!” He pointed a threatening finger at her audacity. “Calm down. It’s ready any moment.” He failed to notice how Taehyung flinched slightly.

After the giggles that followed had died down, (Y/N) was quick to fall back asleep as Taehyung and Jungkook helped- or rather, watched as Hoseok cut and rinsed the fish he had caught in the lake. The two youngest sat huddled together as Jungkook played with the damaged fur of Taehyung’s tail. It was a kind of quiet the two hadn’t known in years, the birds and even the occasional mosquito was more than welcome. It was the opposite for the pack; the quiet was too quiet and every twitch of a branch could be their pursuers. But they didn’t bring it up when Jungkook mentioned the calm. They all just hoped nothing would happen in the nearest future.

Author’s Note: More warnings to be added in later chapters. This is my first fanfic I’m sharing with the public, so please be kind. I’m working on becoming a better writer, for now sometimes this might seem like a jumbled mess, but practice makes perfect! Hopefully I can at least convey the stories I want in the best way I can. This is all fictional. 

Soul Flame | noun

A being with which you share a bond that cannot be broken.

A being who can feel their mates feelings and thoughts.

Soul Flames came into existence shortly after I had entered middle school, I can still remember the news reports blasting across every channel. You couldn’t turn on the television, radio or even walk down the street without being bombarded by the news. 

“Real or Fake?! First existence of soul mates discovered in Europe!”

“New phenomenon discovered, scientists have named Soul Flames!”

Soul Flames were people you instinctually bonded with, but the catch was only one person would be able to feel their soul flame initially, and only when they were within a short distance of each other. Scientists were still trying to figure out why only one person in the bond would be able to feel what the other person was feeling upon first meeting. Once the bond was complete with your soul flame the other bond would be able to feel their thoughts and feelings. The term Soul Flame came from what happened open mating, I guess each bond had a unique “flame” when they mated, the soul flames had described it as a colorful aura that enveloped them and created a feeling, which of course, couldn’t be described by anyone other than the bonded as it wasn’t visible to the naked eye. This in itself made the idea of soul flames a lot for people to believe in, seeing is believing after all.

Everyone went a little crazy after the first announcement, running around getting as close to anyone they found remotely attractive to see if a bond would appear. After the first month though was when things really started to turn sideways. Without having any visible way of telling who was truly your soul flame, people started using this to their own advantage. Lying about being someone’s soul flame to get them to sleep with them, steal from them or worse. As quickly as a year from announcing the first bonded pair, the term Soul Flame had become synonymous with ghosts and Bigfoot, something the government would rather sweep under the rug then acknowledge.

When you had to be in such a short distance of your soul flame to even find one, how in the 8 million people in the world would you ever meet such a person, if they even existed?

All of the "Pro-lifers" that are celebrating right now I sincerely hope you or your daughters never have a Miscarriage that they cannot naturally pass, because a D&C is an abortion.

I hope you don't have a ectopic pregnancy, because the procedure that will save your life is an abortion.

I hope you don't have a still born baby that your body can't naturally pass because that induction is an abortion.

I hope you are never in a place where carrying a baby full term would mean your death (as mine would, my doctor looked me in the eyes and told me if I get pregnant again I WILL NOT MAKE IT, and fuck you all because my kids need a mom more than they need a sibling.)

I hope you don't find out your baby has a condition that will mean being alive for how ever long will cause them excruciating pain, that you don't have to birth your baby and watch them die a horrific, painful death in your arms.

I hope you aren't raped and forced to carry that baby to term no matter the detriment to your mental/physical health.

I hope you aren't forced to give birth to your abusers child, giving you no way out of the relationship.

I hope your 10 year old is never assaulted and have to carry a baby to term that will almost definitely will kill her.

I hope that you don't go to jail when they investigate your miscarriage and determine that something you did made it YOUR FAULT.

I hope you realize you and your daughters will die from laws you created.

I hope you realize the consequences of your actions because you may have to suffer through them.
