So this is truly it, huh? Just like that, no more Doom Patrol?
I don't think I can completely explain how I feel about the show as a whole and how much it means to me, but this final episode just left me empty for both good and bad reasons.
WARNING!!! SPOILERS INCOMING!! DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE EPISODE YET!

The whole Immortus/Butts resolution felt like such a cop-out. Immortus just going "Nah, you know what, I'm fine. Here's your longevity. Oh, and I'm besties with the Butts now. Too-da-loo 🥰" after being presented as their biggest threat ever? Meh
It would have been more cathartic had they somehow defeated Immortus when she was occupied with the Butts and got the longevity thingy off her neck to then run home only to find Rita already dead with Laura frozen with shock/grief beside her. To have them think they managed one more victory but with their biggest loss yet. And for Rita and Laura, the moments before she died could have been used to have a proper conversation and resolution between them. I would have loved if the final scene between them (and with alive non-ghost Rita in general) would have been Laura bringing her the Immortus nail just for Rita to decline cause she's at peace with dying. Even a simple "You're forgiven" would have been enough. And what was the point of telling Laura she's part of the Doom Patrol now to go "Yeah, you should all go your own way now" five minutes after she kicked the bucket???
Vic's ending was expected. It was obvious from the start that he would make it. And I'm glad cause he deserves happiness and to build a future that HE feels is right for him finally.
I'm also delighted Jane (a.k.a just K now) got her happiness both within herself and with Casey. And she's the only one we saw on screen saying goodbye to at least one person properly. Her and Cliff's realtionship was one of my absolute favourite things about the show.
Seems I managed to guess Larry's ending almost exactly. It was so sweet and beautiful. He didn't just return to space with Keeg but Rama as well. Can't lie, I've shed some tears during that scene. And his moment with ghost Rita... 12/10 wouldn't change anything about it
Cliff's ending is my favourite and the one that got me bawling my eyes out. "It's ok. I made it home" Uhm, excuse me?????? How dare the writers break my heart like that???? I am unwell and will need 5-7 business days to recover from it. Poetic, beautiful, amazing, showstopping etc. I love Cliff so fucking much
Dorothy who? Guess she just fell off the Earth after Immortimas
Also, Shelley? Never heard of her. Try looking in the woods when it gets foggy maybe 🤷
I guessed Rita would definitely die too but her whole "Each of you will be better off on your own" turnaround just didn't sit right with me. She's the one that spent her life keeping this little, broken, miserable bunch of just the unluckies motherfuckers known to the world together and managed to create a family that loves and supports eachother to death and THIS is her conclusion?? That they should just disband? Nope, not buying it. I guess it's somehow a way of telling that now the one that held them together, the heart of the show if you will, is gone that it's all done but I feel like that's a an insult to the rest of them and to the strength of their bond. Yes, Rita's insistence brought them together at first, but they've grown and gotten close so much since then even without her interfering in their one-on-one relationships. It just doesn't feel right. I also knew we'd get a Malcolm reunion scene but am I the only one that doesn't really care about him? Tbh, we didn't get to know much about him beside the fact that he was Rita's lover that tragically died. I just can't care about a character I know nothing about. I guess have fun posthumously frolicking in a field, Rita and Malcolm 🤷
So Jane got Casey and her sanity, Larry got Keeg and Rama, Vic got his friends and students, Cliff got see his family, their future and die peacefully beside them, Rita got to reunite with the love of her life in eternity and Laura got to, uhm, *checks notes*, play with a flamethrower? Like, ok, I do dig that she got to destroy the place that ruined her whole life guns a-blazing but what exactly does she get to do later on? The ones who remained alive all got someone to share their new found joy with, a proper plan for the future, they're at peace. Laura didn't get to neither truly reconcile with Rita, nor the Sisterhood, and now the only people she felt close to either died or went their own way without a true goodbye. What, pray tell, does her future look like beside, once again, loneliness and grief???? I fucking hated her ending. Give us a Laura de Mille spin-off, you cowards. Make it right...

Things that have been helping me lately in this high conflict relationship:
For Self Care
Learning about the Stress Cycle and how to complete it, that completing it does not require changing your stressors. 
Polyvagal strategies for self regulating more quickly, especially using cold packs on my neck and chest (see also: mammalian dive response)
Walking - even just around the apartment can help me work through the impact of a fight much much more quickly; walking workout on YouTube too.
CBD - it’s not for everyone but boy oh boy is it for me; I never slept great but during high conflict phases I would only get 3 hours of sleep for 12 hours of trying, with CBD I can get a solid 7 hours and recover from fights faster.
Tapping/EFT - It’s very woo and I don’t believe it does everything it says it does but I am almost always better at the end of a session than when I started so I keep using it; the free version of the app is working fine for me
Puzzles/Solitaire -  I have no clue why it’s helping but it really is, just so calming to sort something, put it together, and take it apart on my own terms. 
Stretching routines - mostly on YouTube; yoga’s not my jam but stretching out all these tight muscles is both satisfying and helps me move through the stress faster.
Microjournaling; I don’t have it in me to long entries so microjournaling has been pretty great; it helps to just dump my thoughts somewhere without bothering other folks
Dharma Talks; some of my favorite teachers are Ajahn Brahm, Ven. Robina Courtin, and Hillside Hermitage. Plum Village is also very good. 
Getting outside; I know it gets talked about a lot but yeah, it’s good. Very healing. 10/10 recommend. 
Find ways to give and contribute; I write letters for the World Needs More Love Letters, Letters Against Isolation, and Random Acts of Cards as I’m able
For Dealing with High Conflict Partner
DEEP - Don’t Defend/Engage/Express/Personalize; it’s so hard but every time I stick to this, I have much lower conflict days, helps me know how to handle an interaction I’m already in
SMART Contact - Stop PUSH behaviors, Manage business items together, Allow them to start conversations, Remain calm, strong, and gentle, Take it one day at a time; helps me know whether I should contact her if we’re not currently interacting
Medium Chill - similar to DEEP but more about a general approach to conversations; especially with drama or baiting involved
DEAR MAN - for when I need to set a boundary or make a serious request; still doesn’t always work but it helps me continue on when I get dramatic or abusive responses.
Having tried a lot of strategies, I don’t personally recommend Nonviolent Communication because it makes no good distinctions for how to deal with gaslighting/lying/manipulation. While it works great in other relationships, it’s invited more abuse in my high conflict relationship. 
“How to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen” has been recommended to me enough times I feel like it deserves a spot here but I haven’t gotten the chance to read it yet. 
“How to Stop Walking On Eggshells” also has some good strategies if you’re comfortable with validating or over validating the High Conflict Partner; I have read that one and can vouch. 
Hope this helps someone else!

Chapter 17 - Sinking
You’ve been on pins and needles all day: tapping your foot under your desk, shuffling in your seat, fidgeting with papers. Bradley is coming back today. Your boss shoots you an annoyed look from across the conference room.
Tucking your hands under your legs like you’re back in primary school, you will yourself to sit still and listen to the presentation. If only it wasn’t so boring. Your mind wanders of its own accord to places more interesting.
Emboldened by Bradley’s reaction to the lingerie set you bought last time, you picked up another set to welcome him back—this time in black. You even splurged on matching garter belt and stockings.
Ok, is it insane to wear a skirt and stockings in January in D.C when you’re taking public transport?
Very much so. But you are also very much convinced it’s going to be worth it.
You idly wonder if Bradley will change into regular clothes before he comes to pick you up, or if you get to see him in uniform again. God, you hope it’s the latter.
Sometimes you think back to that first time you saw him again, when he pretty much materialized in your office in that khaki uniform. God, you were so angry then, but now that you have distance from the situation, it’s Bradley in that uniform that still sticks out.
A little bit too much on some nights.
You rub your thighs together unconsciously.
“Miss Williams, what is your perspective?”
Eh?
Oh.
Uhm.
The presentation.
Right.
“I think…,” You pause for a second, licking your suddenly dry lips. “…I think it’s pretty solid, but it would benefit from more specific cases studies. It’s a little abstract in its current form.”
Goddammit Bradley. He’s causing you trouble when he hasn’t even made landfall yet. You seriously glance at your watch. Another hour at least until his ship comes in.
You see your boss nodding as he takes notes. Good, so it was the right things to say. Birch better not be onto you—the last thing you need at this point is another talking to about professional conduct.
Riks has been out of your hair mercifully, at least after you threatened to file an official complaint for his digging around into your personal life, through Seresin no less.
That meeting was… something else. You are usually not one to get nervous giggles, being well practiced at keeping a straight face. But Birch, strained, in a deadly serious tone told Riks:
“Whatever lieutenant Bradshaw and Miss Williams get up to in their free time is their business, and I would be incredibly grateful if it stays that way.”
He paused, face pained, before continuing: “It’s neither the purpose nor goal of this department to uncover every roll in the hay service men or women have.”
“We’d need to double the Pentagon budget for just that.” Birch concludes under his breath.
He probably didn’t mean for you to hear him. But you were so embarrassed you could barely contain your laughter, tears filling your eyes. It wasn’t a funny situation in the least.
Just so so awkward.
You check your watch again. It’s barely lunchtime. The discussion in the room is still ongoing. No, but for real, how much is there to discuss about ammo logistics in during the Civil War? You half expect you’d be bored to tears even if you weren’t passionately hoping time would hurry the fuck up already.
Ah, finally. As you gather your things from the table, one of the presenters comes up to you.
“Miss Williams—would you mind sharing your notes from the presentation? I’m sure it will be incredibly useful.”
“Ah, yeah -” You would mind, actually. You would mind on the account that you didn’t actually take any notes and that the page in your notebook you had in front of you is full of mindless squiggles and doodles.
“I’ve given you all my feedback verbally just now, my notes don’t really add more to that.” You smile apologetically.
Before the presenter opens his mouth again, you interject: “Also, I have terrible handwriting, sorry!”
Clutching your notebook to your chest, you leg it out of the room. Jesus. You really know how to embarrass yourself well. Mercifully, you can hide in your office for the rest of the day to work on the reports for the Senate committee. That should tide you over to the end of the day.
Hah.
It’s not even 4:30 yet, and you’re pacing around your office like a caged tiger. You cannot even pretend to focus on your work anymore. If you have another coffee, you are pretty sure your heart is going to explode out of your chest.
God. You should have driven down to Virginia Beach despite Bradley’s protests. At least you’d be doing something more useful with your time than… pacing and daydreaming.
Your bag is already packed, your winter coat hanging from your desk chair. Bradley texted you when he disembarked and let you know he was on his was. You know he’ll text you once he’s parked, but, ugh, everything is taking too long today.
When your phone buzzes, you have your coat already half-way on before you see it’s just an email. You sink back into your chair, the momentum sending your chair spinning. Letting it turn you around, you idly wonder how many turns would equal one minute.
Oh Christ, enough already. You are acting like a teenager. Not even when you had your first crush at 14 were this hopeless, and if you were, that memory has fortunately been lost to time. To you. Probably not your sister, though.
Shrugging your coat back off, you grab one of the folders on the pile at the corner of your desk. Tapping your pen against the paper with more force than strictly necessary, you will yourself to start reading.
You are a goddamn adult, and you get paid to do this shit.
The last vestiges of your self-discipline burn out in the 45 minutes before your phone buzzes again. The moment you spot Bradley’s name on the display, with the simple message you’ve been waiting for all day—just “here”—you practically fly out of your office, coat unbuttoned, scarf loosely hanging from your neck and bag still open, slamming the door loudly behind you in your hurry. At the elevator, you push the button in rapid succession, trying to speed up the machine.
Calm.
You can’t run through the fucking Pentagon like a crazed woman.
Be professional.
Vaulting yourself into the empty elevator, you feel like there’s electricity coursing through your veins. It’s a nervous energy that been building in you all week—every breath a little bit closer to this moment.
It’s misty outside today—the fog you saw that morning still hasn’t cleared up as you look over the throng of people leaving the Pentagon at the end of the day. You join the too slow for your liking moving mass, trying to peer over the heads to see the exit to no avail.
You can’t very well push through.
The glass door finally come into view. Between people dispersing towards the parking bays and public transport, you see one figure cut through the mist, walking towards the Pentagon.
Your heart knows it’s Bradley before your head catches up, launching you forward, your feet moving by their own accord as you burst through the exit. The heels of your shoes echo against the stone pavement as loudly as your heart is beating in your ears, while your still unbuttoned coat flies behind you.
Bradley, in his dress blues, navy wool overcoat and white cap on his head, is walking down the pathway head held high, gait purposeful, every bit a Naval officer.
Your breath catches in your throat.
He’s so close.
The moment your eyes lock, he comes to a standstill, reaching out to you. Your momentum propels you forward straight into his waiting arms, where he catches your body easily and lifts you straight off the ground in a twirl, your bag forgotten at your feet. Your arms lock around his neck as you let out a surprised yelp, which he easily cuts off with a heated kiss.
Bradley’s lips taste of the wonderful winter cold as you melt into him.
“God, I’ve missed everything about you.” You mumble against his lips. His warm skin through the biting cold, the smell of his cologne, the brush of his neat mustache against your face. Catching Bradley’s mouth in another searing kiss, telling him more than words ever could, his grip on you tightens.
Breathless, Bradley sets you back down on your feet. You drink in every part of him as your fingers skim through the short hair on the back of his head. His cap is askew on his head, as he breathes heavily, his eyes searching over you, like he can’t believe you are really here.
Slowly, you press another kiss on his lips, as if to assure him and yourself that this is actually real.
“I’ve missed you so much.” He breathes so softly, you feel it more against your skin than that you hear it.
You giggle as you run your hands down the front of his coat, the dark wool soft under your fingers. He grabs your hand and presses a quick kiss against your fingertips.
“Let me take you home, darlin’,” Bradley’s murmurs in your ear, his voice has a delicious raw edge to it. “I’ve had to miss you for far too long.”
Nodding eagerly, you pull away long enough to retrieve your bag from the ground. A shiver overtakes you as you suddenly notice how cold it is now you’re not pressed up against Bradley anymore. As sharp as ever, he is already a step ahead of you and buttons up your coat with nimble fingers, wrapping your scarf around your neck.
It’s only now, that you actually manage to get your bearings again a little bit, you hear the oohs and aaws from passerby’s. Normally you would want the ground to swallow you whole for making such a spectacle, but today? You cannot find it in yourself to care, too wrapped in Bradley.
“Son, you better fix that cover.” A gruff voice comes from your right. No, okay, maybe you do care a little bit about your boss witnessing this. Birch is determinedly starting in front of him as he passes you.
“You have an admiral incoming on my six.” He adds, not sparing you another look.
“Yes sir, right away, sir.” Bradley choruses with practiced ease, as he moves his cap back into a respectable position on his head. You chuckle an apology, but Bradley just shoots you that winning smile of his.
“Let’s go sweetheart.” He says simply, as he presses a kiss against your forehead and takes your hand.
His large hand is warm against your already cold fingers as you start making your way to the visitor’s parking bay. You wrap your free hand around Bradley’s arm, leaning against him as you walk.
As you arrive at his car, you automatically turn to the passenger’s seat. With a mischievous grin pulls Bradley, you back to face him, his lips ghosting over your jaw. You run your fingers over the lapels of his coat as you sigh at the sensation of his hot breath caressing the sensitive skin just below your ear.
“I’m kind of tired from the trip, darlin’,” He murmurs, sending shivers down your spine. With a soft jingle, Bradley pulls out his car keys from his pocket and presses them into your hand. “Why don’t you drive us?”
“Really?” You ask, strangely breathless. Bradley just hums in response as your fingers wrap around the keys.
“I’ll even let you play Taylor Swift.” He adds, and you can just hear the mirth in his voice.
“That—that -,” You splutter. “Was my sister’s music.” “Of course.” Bradley chuckles. “That’s why you know all the words so well.”
“I’ll make you regret that offer.”
“Try me, sweetheart.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bradley’s brain has been in a state of short-circuit since you flew into his arms. No scenario he had imagined tasted quite as sweet as that first kiss when he saw you again. Climbing into the driver’s seat of his car and adjusting it made your skirt ride up, and Bradley caught sight of what he was pretty sure was the top of a stocking.
Fuck.
He strongly considered pulling you out of the driver’s seat into his lap and fuck you right there in the parking lot.
The drive home was torture, and Bradley couldn’t keep his hands off you for more than 10 seconds— tucking a stray strand of hair behind your ear, grabbing your hand as you reached for the gear shift, running his hand up your leg—bad idea.
Shit, he could feel the line of your garter belt through the fabric of your skirt, teasing against the palm of his hand as your leg moved, manipulating the gas pedal.
The small smirk gracing your lips betrayed that you knew exactly what you were doing to him.
It’s on your couch, with you straddling him, your fingers threaded deliciously painfully in his hair as you roll your hips at a tortuously slow pace, Bradley is pretty sure his brain is just completely giving out.
He runs his hands blindly over your body, squeezing your flesh and looking into your eyes. Your hair loose, face flushed, pupils blown by desire, you look back down on him as you ride him in that agonizing pace you’ve set.
From almost falling through the front door, pulling at each other’s clothes in a heated frenzy, and tripping over your shoes, the raging fire in you both was unstoppable. The lingerie set you had specially bought ended up somewhere in the maelstrom of clothes left in your path from the door. It doesn’t even matter.
You pushed him onto your couch as he was sliding your panties down your hips, eyes raking over your form. You drank him in. There was no need for words as you sank down on him, gasping in delight as you stretched around his length. Bradley threw his head back, eyes scrunched close, cursing under his breath.
It was like the raging fire spread into smoldering embers from the moment you connected.
Now you want to savor every moment and every touch. You need it. The intimacy you have been craving, the touch you have been missing, you want to drown yourself in him.
Bradley’s fingers skim down from your throat, over your collarbone, just ghosting over your nipple—tearing a moan from you—down your stomach, pressing his thumb against your clit, drawing slow circles.
Your hips stutter, desperately trying to increase the friction.
“Bradley - please-,” You plead incoherently between gasps and moans. His mouth is on your nipple, teeth sinking into the sensitive flesh. It’s sending your senses into overdrive, spurring your movements on, muscles tensing.
“Fuck darlin’, you’re so tight.” Bradley grinds out. He can feel your walls tightening around his cock—you are close. Just a bit more. Your movements are turning erratic. Bradley grabs your hip with his free hand, bucking against you.
“Don - don’t stop - please, Bradley…”
He doesn’t think he’ll ever get over you moaning his name like that, with those eyes full of lust, riding him within an inch of his life. Selfishly, he doesn’t want you to look like that for anyone else ever again. He wants your eyes only on him.
Your lids start fluttering as your movements start stuttering more and more—Bradley can feel how close you are. He tightens his grip on you, setting a relentless pace, his thumb increasing the pressure on your clit.
“Cum for me darlin’,” He gasps. “Show me what I’ve missed.”
His words alone would be enough to have you come undone. His voice, so warm, so close after those cold months, feels like sliding into a hot bath, relaxing every nerve in your wound body. It pushes you to release, head lolling back in pure ecstasy, his name caught in your throat.
Bradley catches your body as it tips back, pulling you against his chest.
“Fuck.” You bring out weakly, breathing heavily. But Bradley doesn’t give you very long to restart your brain, effortlessly flipping you on your back and hitching your leg over his shoulder. Dazed, you squeal in delight, giggling as he presses kiss after kiss against your calf.
“How much did you miss me, darlin’?” He asks between kisses.
“So - so much.” You breathe.
“I can’t hear you, sweetheart.” He says with a devilish smirk on his face as he drags the tip of his cock along your slick pussy lips, teasing against your sensitive clit. You moan without abandon.
“I’ve missed you so fucking much,” You choke out. “Everything about you.”
“Tell me.” Bradley demands as his lips latch onto a ticklish spot in the hollow of your knee.
Words start falling from your mouth—you’re not even sure you’re making sense—it’s almost a stream of consciousness.
“I - I’ve missed you from the minute you left,” Your breath hitches as Bradley gently bites down on your thigh. “It feels empty without you here. The bed is cold. I want you to kiss me awake…”
“Just kiss?” Bradley asks, as he nudges the tip of his cock against your entrance. You suck in a breath before a giggle bursts from your lips.
“Do you really need a full report when you have me in this state already?”
“I happen to know you are very thorough, Miss Williams.” Bradley smirks.
“I’ll write you a list later if you so desire, lieutenant.” You shoot back, still half-dazed, grasping for him. “But you’re stalling—how much did you really miss m-”
Bradley laughs and finally fully slides into you in one fluid move, effectively cutting you off. Setting a punishing pace that makes you see stars, Bradley easily wipes every last thought from your brain. Suddenly slowing down and bending over to you, filling you to the hilt, he whispers:
“For the record, I missed you so much it hurt.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are moments when you actually stop and think, usually at a quiet moment at work. It’s actually insane how quickly you fall into a comfortable routine with Bradley, the relationship growing steadily. He has two weeks before he needs to report back on base, and in the meantime, he seems to revel in essentially playing house with you.
As you get ready for work in the morning, Bradley makes you coffee. When you tell him he should make most of his free time and sleep in more often, he just shrugs:
“Making most of my time is spending it with you.”
Some days he drives you to work and picks you up at the end of the day.
Without fail, your heart feels like it’s about to burst when you see his Bronco parked in the visitor’s bay.
Well, some aspects of your relationship are growing.
Bradley is still incredibly guarded when it comes to his family. When you ask about his trip to Nevada to see captain Mitchell, he talks about tinkering on Mitchell’s plane in the workshop, but never anything deeper about what they talked about.
Maybe it’s incredibly private—all Bradley has mentioned is that he’s known Mitchell since childhood. How or why? When you actually gather the courage to ask, Bradley just ignores the question and changes the subject.
You conceal how much that hurts you—because it shouldn’t. It’s none of your business. Selfishly, you want to know Bradley better than anyone in the world.
But you need to really accept that it’s his choice how much he really wants to share about himself. No matter how unfair it feels.
You start talking about your own family less, feeling like you’re oversharing. Again, Bradley probably is just not that family-oriented and might just be humoring you. There is no sense in dwelling on these things, you admonish yourself.
Realistically, how long have you been dating? You haven’t even broken the 6-month mark yet, and he was deployed for three of those. And there will be more deployments, more time spend apart. You need to stop your brain from spinning and take things as they come.
It’s another one of those winter days when the sun doesn’t even get up from bed, and from dawn till dusk there are just monochrome gray skies, like it’s perpetual twilight. The air is bitingly cold, stinging every bit of skin not covered. You practically skip to the parked Bronco, seeing Bradley’s silhouette through the driver’s side window.
Climbing into the passenger’s seat, he greets you with an immediate kiss.
“You spoil me.” You smile at him. “What am I going to do with myself once you’re back in Virginia Beach?”
“You’ll drive yourself, which you are perfectly capable off.” Bradley grins back. “But in the meantime, let me take care of you.”
“Can we stop by the store?” You ask as you buckle up and Bradley turns the engine on. “I think we’re running low on a few things.”
It’s not terribly busy on the road, and it’s a short trip to the store. Preoccupied with finding the right playlist on your phone with your cold fingers, you only spot the car in front of you suddenly swerve wildly in your periphery.
You snap your head up, but the words on your tongue die the second the back of the Bronco suddenly slips violently to the right. Black ice. Your head cracks against the door. A million curses fly through your scrambled brain, but there are more important things.
“Keep steady! Don’t counter-steer!” Your voice is high with panic. You’ve slipped on black ice before, just never in D.C and never when you weren’t the one driving.
Bradley is loudly cursing, trying to get the car under control. You are so full of adrenaline, time seems to have slowed down.
You see Bradley in hyper focus, knuckles white against the steering wheel as he shifts down, slowing the vehicle down. In reality, the slip takes only seconds and as the Bronco regains grip on the tarmac.
Your head is pounding from knocking against the window and sheer stress.
“Darlin’, are you ok?” Bradley looks at you from the corner of his eye—his voice is steady, like he’s completely unshaken. On the other hand, you look terrified—eyes wide, white as a sheet and breath coming out in short, panicked bursts. He pulls into a side street and parks.
Heart clenching, he reaches out to you. “Sweetheart, are you hurt?”
Mutely, you shake your head, biting your lip, trying to steady your breathing. Bradley simply reaches out to you, hand caressing your cheek.
“Are you sure?”
“Ye- yeah.” You force out, leaning your head into his palm, kissing it. “I… I don’t even know what came over me.
Taking a deep breath to steady yourself, you continue words falling out of your mouth like a waterfall.
“It’s not the first time I’ve slipped on black ice in a vehicle, it just never happened to me as a passenger, but you’re a goddamn fighter pilot, of course your reflexes are amazing, and you keep your cool… like, what am I even worried about?”
You try to smile, but the corner of your mouth just shakes.
Bradley leans in and lightly kisses you.
“Don’t worry, sweetheart. I’ll keep you safe.”
“I trust you.” You reply, voice still lightly shaking. “And sorry for backseat driving.” You add in attempt to joke.
Bradley just chuckles in response, but he is sure of one thing. He doesn’t want to ever want to see that terrified look on your face again. It has already burned itself in his brain along with your panicked voice.
That night when you are in bed, you already in deep sleep, Bradley wraps himself around your naked form, pressing light kisses against the column of your neck. Every time he closes his eyes, your face flashed before his mind’s eye. Smiling, blushing, frowning as you think, sleepy in the morning —but it always ends up morphing into wide-eyed terror.
He spent the evening trying to scrub the look from his mind, filling his vision with your blushing, love struck face, mouth open as he had you cum for him over and over again.
Bradley sighs dejectedly.
Another one for the collection.
[note]I have this problem that I think of all the plot beats I want to put in one chapter and then I always end up overwriting so much that I pretty much always have add another chapter to the plan. Again, this was supposed to be five chapters lmao.

putting it under read-more cause this got way too long way too fast :,)
1) Take a Step Back and Start Again by lc2l
A story about two partially broken, mostly fixed men; a small child and a cat.
2) Black Flag by wakeupnew
Ballister finds himself thinking of life two ways: Before Nimona and After Nimona.
After Nimona, he has an injured former knight for a houseguest, an alarming amount of goodwill from the general population, and a life to try to put back together.
3) Once bitten, twice spy by bewickedandlovely
Even now with his face covered in claw marks, Goldilocks' smiles did funny things to Ballister. Nimona hadn’t decided if Ballister was still a friend, but she knew for sure that she didn't trust Goldilocks. She had to make sure he didn’t use his weird smiles to hurt Ballister, because Ballister would be too much of an idiot to make sure of that himself.
4) Two Nights in Knights in Knight School by tehta
So, how did the teenage Ambrosius and Ballister get together, anyway? I suspect that, in canon, it was the simplest and most natural process in the world. In this comedy of misunderstandings, it is... not.
5) When There's Nothing Left To Burn (End Racism in the OTW) by strix_alba
Sir Blackheart could really use some down time to process recent events, but the kingdom (and a few people in particular) have other plans for him. Plan A involves adoring fans and discounts at the open-air market. Plan B involves hospital visits to make sure he won't need another metal arm. Plan C includes a mysterious treatise tacked onto the Institution doors, and posters with his name on them appearing across the city.
6) Lost in Translation by InfiniteCalm
Three months later and things aren't as simple as they could have been. You could talk complicated feelings through, but why put yourself through that? After all, Ballister is excellent at steadfastly ignoring both crushing loneliness and any sort of non-violent tension with erstwhile enemy, current friend, Ambrosius Goldenloin.
7) [a short pause] by nushkush
Goldenloin remembers the past, but not his part in it.
8) A Business Proposal by PlethoraofSweaters
Ambrosius chose success over love. That kind of decision always has its drawbacks.
9) you better watch out, you better not cry by meguri_aite
“If our Santa says she isn’t Nimona, we have to believe her,” Ballister says calmly. “Ginger biscuits, anyone?”
10) The Spirit of Christmas Past by tehta
Arch-nemeses Blackheart and Goldenloin are haunted by the spirits of Christmas past. Actual drinkable spirits play a significant role, as well.
(Basically, Ambrosius gets wasted and tries to call Ballister)
11) Death Will Be My Wedding to Eternity (and I Hope to See You There) by WizardoftheRainbow
A chronicle of the incredibly arduous emotional journey undertaken by one Sir Ambrosius Goldenloin, from his childhood to the end of Nimona.
12) Decision/Mistake by YellowFlannelFrog
After a scheme gone awry, Ballister takes an injured Ambrosius back to his secret lair (house) to recover. It's still early on in his villain days, and there are a lot of emotions Ballister keeps inside. And when dealing with Ambrosius Goldenloin, some of them are definitely going to come to the surface.
13) (Stuffed) Sharks Have No Bones by oflightningandstars
Ballister comes home with a surprise for baby Nimona. Baby Nimona likes pranks. Ambrosius is not thrilled. (Nimona Gay Dads AU)

rating CATG based on how sickly I think they’d be <3
(part two to this post about the main five :)
Craig: 8/10. We’ve all heard this motherfucker speak. This guy’s sinuses are Fucked Up! He has a recurring case of the sniffles and he is not happy about it >:( He rarely gets seriously ill, but even a minor cold is enough to have him moping about with a cartoon rain cloud over his head. He is simply So Over being sick, and can you blame him? His sinus troubles often lead to headaches, or worse, earaches, which sucks major ass. No matter how much of a dickhead he may be, his pitiful appearance when ill is enough to melt even the coldest of hearts.
Clyde: 6/10. Oh my god, is this guy gross when he’s sick :/ You know those little kids who cough as loudly as possible with their eyes bugging out of their head, right into your fucking face? Clyde was that kid, and he never grew out of it. He is just simply so overwhelmed by how shitty he feels, that he feels the need to constantly remind everyone else of it too! Pity is his lifeblood. If he’s lucky, he’ll get a couple tuts and a “Poor thing,” and if he’s even luckier and has a Special Someone then perhaps they’ll agree to stroke his hair whilst he lies, snivelling, with his head in their lap.
Jimmy: 4/10. In contrast to Clyde, the absolute last thing he’s after is pity when he’s ill. He’s out here making crack-ups between coughs and grinning like this whole sickly business is some sort of private joke. People ask him how he’s feeling, and he’s like, never better lol! And they’re like, um?? Lol?? If things get bad, he will quietly ask a close friend or Special Someone for assistance, and whether they might be able to take care of him for a few days. He might secretly feel a little anxious about being a burden on his caretaker(s), but they reassure him that’s never the case, and he’s able to rest easy with them by his side until he recovers—goofing around all the while, of course.
Tolkien: 2/10. Being vitamin C’s number one biggest fan, Tolkien’s immune system is thriving. He rarely gets sick, which of course pisses off those in his life who do, because it’s Just Not Fair! Just because he gets a full nights sleep, eats plenty of fruit and veg, and regularly exercises doesn’t mean he should be able to float through life this easily! How dare he >:( On the occasion that he does fall ill, he will do the sensible thing and rest up until he’s feeling better. In doing so, he will be careful to isolate himself so that he doesn’t spread it around. Sure, he might get a little lonely, but he doesn’t mind too much, and reassures himself it’s the best thing to do right now. However, this gets his friends very worried because Tolkien is sick?? Sick all alone?? By himself?? With no one to help/make things worse?? Oh, that simply will not do! Cue the rest of the gang showing up unannounced at his door, interrupting his tranquillity to “take care of him”. He’s all, ‘Guys, you really shouldn’t be here, I’m contagious,’ but do those fuckers listen to him? Hell no! Which of course leads to the rest of the gang catching his cold, leaving him to deal with the fallout, exasperated. (But perhaps that’s for another post >:)
Tweek: 7/10. This guy never sleeps and lives on a diet of coffee beans which may or may not be laced with meth. You think he has what it takes to fight off a cold? Please. His immune system is in shambles. But because Tweek is already pale, with chapped lips and dark rings under his eyes, it’s hard to tell when he’s come down with something. The true tip off to his poor health is his drowsiness. His typical skittish, light-sleeper status is no more. You could crash symbols next to his ears and he’d just huff and roll over. No longer a nocturnal menace to society, Tweek is out cold by 7pm every night, and does not rouse until 11am the next morning, peppering the rest of the day with naps. During the fleeting moments when he’s awake, he is mumbling about headaches and a dry mouth, and how everything is terrible and life is just a never-ending cycle of suffering and anguish, or something. On the plus side, he will carelessly fall asleep cuddled up to whoever is sitting next to him on the couch, which is pretty cute.
Thanks for reading! I’d love to see your own headcanons & ratings too :)

The Promises I Made (2023)
Oh man. Oh man.
At the end of last year, I said that I had really struggled through 2022 and hoped that 2023 would be an easier year, but also that I didn't want to count any chickens. Which was... ultimately the right mindset to have, because 2023 was even worse for me than 2022. Between the stressors of work, money, and things just falling apart on me left and right (car is still in need of $3000 worth of work...), I couldn't be more glad that 2023 is over.
Consequently, it was a very bad year for promises. Possibly the worst year I've ever had since I started, actually. Oof, icing on the cake after all the disappointment I dealt with this year.
Still, a tradition is a tradition. Here are the promises I made for this last year!
2023 Promises
1) Work on the Texas house yard. It’s still never really recovered from the frost that killed everything in 2021 and it looks pretty shabby right now.
Status: Broken, mostly. I did have the gardener come and do a lot of trimming as well as take out one dead tree, but still, one dead tree remains, and the tree in the backyard has grown roots so big now that they've exposed a underground wire, so uhhhh... gonna have to deal with that this year...
2) Get both bedroom floors sanded in the Utah house upstairs.
Status: Broken. This just didn't happen. No money. But it really, really needs to happen soon though... Oof...
3) Get the Utah house sprinklers up and working ALL the way for this summer.
Status: Broken. This is the hardest promise on this list, I swear to god. This city in Utah has NO ONE who is willing to work on normal residential sprinklers. Please someone save me.
4) Actually get the back fence fixed up and the greenery back there trimmed and managed.
Status: Broken. Well, one day...
4) Put a new sink/vanity in the downstairs bathroom of the Utah house.
Status: Broken. I sure... made a lot of promises about the Utah house, didn't I... Where did I think all this money would come from...
5) Related to that, lose at least 20 pounds. 2020-2022 was not kind to me and the stress eating was real.
Status: Broken. I didn't gain weight this year but I didn't lose any either. RIP.
6) Take my mom on a road trip to one of the U.S. states that she has not been to before.
Status: Broken. I was busy all summer and we just didn't do this.
7) Get back in touch with the allergy specialist to continue working on my allergy/inflammation issues.
Status: Broken. Yikes, seven in a row without a single kept promise. Anyway, I did want to do this, but again, the surgery they want me to have will take all my insurance and then $2000 out of pocket. It's just... not going to happen...
8) Go through my closets and donate or throw away clothes that I know I will not wear.
Status: KEPT. Oh my god, one I actually did. I ended up donating SO MANY shirts to Goodwill.
9) Finish at least five books this year.
Status: Broken. I finished two I believe. But... maybe the 50+ 100k word fanfics I read this year could count instead?
10) Organize my documents (especially student papers)—my desktop and documents folders give me nightmares just looking at them. 
Status: Broken. Jesus, why am I so allergic to this promise? I think it's been on the list for like three years running now.
11) Help Kacchan through her first semester as a teacher! Exciting!!
Status: According to Kacchan herself, this promise has been kept. Go me.
12) Get a decent paper shredder to shred old mail. 
Status: Kept! I finally got a shredder!!
13) Clean off my back patio/car port area so I can park my car there again.
Status: Broken. Literally there's not that much stuff out there other than my coworker's old bikes she dumped on me. Why have I not done this...
14) Get the Texas house dishwasher fixed… I’m so tired of washing dishes by hand… How do people do this, oof.
Status: Kept! I got a newwww dishwasherrrrrr. I am so happy...
15) 100% complete FF16 babyyyyy!!
Status: Broken. I played it, but did not 100%. Too busy. TvT
16) Talk to an HR rep about my retirement savings so that I can consolidate my retirement accounts. I have been putting this off for like five years now.
Status: Broken. I think this has been on the list for years too. And given the current uncertainty of my workplace, I honestly think at this point I might be better off not asking anyone who works there for any financial advice...
17) Do at least one artwork to actually use that new paint program I bought. 
Status: Broken. Well, I THOUGHT about it. Does that count?
18) Pay my credit debt down by at least $2000. I’m still paying off the hell year but I hope I can make progress on this.
Status: Broken. The hell year of last year became Hell Year 2.0, Economic Boogaloo this year. So many things went wrong and had to be paid for. My wallet is C R Y I N G.
19) Finish making changes to master courses. No more major revisions!
Status: You know what, I'm going to count this as kept, because we're now down to the really specific courses that only one or two professors teach. So, close enough!!
20) See a zone-tailed hawk. This is another rare-but-possible bird for my area.
Status: Kept! Conveniently, one flew over my car one day?? I got only a terrible cellphone photo, but I did see it. Yay!
21) Attend the FFXIV Fanfest in Las Vegas!
Status: Broken. I tried!! But I did not win the lottery for a ticket, so I was not able to go. This one was pretty much out of my hands, though.
22) Update HaaH at least once. Please, Echo???
Status: ...I'm sorry, forgive meeee. OTL
23) Get the small leak fixed in the side bathroom of the Texas house and have the faucets replaced.
Status: Plumbers are... so expensive... Broken.
24) Look into the cost of light housekeeping services to give myself a little more time to do things that aren’t work.
Status: Technically kept... in that I did look into the costs... But ultimately, I chickened out of contacting anyone. I don't know why, but I feel like even if I got a housekeeper, I would be so embarrassed by my house being messy, I would frantically clean it the day before the housekeeper arrived anyway...
25) Catch up with hanging up all the charms/pins I’ve gotten recently on my corkboards; these are just sitting in boxes/bags around the house. D;
Status: Broken. My god, I thought about doing this so many times this year but I just never did it... I even both MORE charms and then didn't hang them.
26) Use Spotify more often or cancel my Spotify Premium subscription; it’s not worth it if I don’t use it.
Status: Kept. I cancelled it when they decided to raise the price. Cancelled Amazon Prime and Netflix this year too. Honestly way too tired of companies raising the prices of subscription services while offering LESS quality than in prior years.
27) Get an art display book to preserve my great grandfather’s artworks.
Status: Kept. They are safeeeee now.
28) Fix the screens on the Texas house.
Status: Broken. Probably for the best I didn't do this though, since the dog developed a habit of scratching at the office WINDOW to be let back into the house...
29) Bird watch at a specific location in Texas. It’s my secret where since I’d rather not share my specific location on social media, but let’s hope I can finally make it to this place!
Status: Kept. I didn't see many birds there though, RIP.
30) Finally get rid of the dirt pile in the front of the Utah house.
Status: Broken. I feel like the dirt pile is getting smaller and smaller over time as erosion takes its natural course, but I didn't really do anything to decrease the pile this year.
31) Sign NeNe (my puppy) up for the intermediate dog training course.
Status: Broken. I thought about this several times, but decided not to in the end. I wasn't massively impressed by the trainer she had for her puppy class, and honestly she's pretty decent at learning things at home anyway.
32) This is super nerdy, but my bro got me the FFXIV cookbook and made me promise to actually use it, so I guess I’d better at least try to make something from it.
Status: Broken. I keep making this promise and continually forget it, over and over.
33) Take down the remains of the wooden fence posts at the Utah house.
Status: Broken. This one I could have done and just... did not do. I'm pretty useless.
34) Take part in the fitness challenge at work this coming semester.
Status: Broken. To be fair to me though, in August I fractured my pelvis and basically couldn't do anything past basic walking all the way until December so I kind of have a semi-reasonable excuse for this one.
35) I will remember to take my medicine on time, all the time. Taking them late is messing things up quite a bit.
Status: Mostly kept. There was a night or two where I did forget, but since I literally require this medicine to live, I can basically immediately tell when I need to take it again, so most nights I do take it on time.
36) Get a stand for the toaster oven in the break room so we can finally use it!
Status: I'm going to count this as kept even though we did not get a new stand. Instead, we rearranged the order of the room to make it possible to fit both the toaster over and the microwave on the same countertop. So the toaster oven can indeed be used now!
37) Get my car detailed because the inside really needs to be vacuumed.
Status: Broken. My god, the car needs this so desperately now. But... money...
38) Go horseback riding on the island. I’ve never ridden on a beach before!
Status: Broken. Nobody really seemed that interested in going with me, and I thought it would be weird to go alone...
39) Eat healthier. Maybe cutting out snacks is too much to ask, but at least replace some average meals with salads, etc. and overall make an effort to actually eat better. Sometimes the fact that I feel like garbage is my own fault.
Status: Broken. The stress eating was extreme this last year. Please save me.
40) Wait, I should probably acquire a Playstation 5 so I can actually play my new copy of FF16, lol.
Status: Kept.
41) Help make sure the new tutoring requirement for the English classes goes over well.
Status: Kept, in that I did the best I could with a very, very weird plan. We immediately abandoned this plan the moment the grant expired anyway, since no one liked what admin had wanted us to do.
42) Finish decorating the main office. I’ll feel better if my workplace reflects the level of professionalism and school spirit that I envisioned it having this year.
Status: Broken, and I'm not going to roll this one over to the next year because I am 100% stepping down from my current administrative position and going back to being a full-time instructor again, so I will not need to decorate the main office anymore! Whoo!
43) Catch every variant of Vivillon in Pokemon Go. I’m currently missing Icy Snow, Marine, Meadow, Monsoon, Ocean, Polar, River, Sandstorm, Savanna, Sun, and Tundra, if anyone would like to be friends!
Status: Broken. I caught some of the ones I was missing but I really didn't play as much Pokemon Go this year. Broken pelvis decreasing walking ability but also just got tired of the game pushing more and more microtransactions, so I kinda took a longggg break.
44) Try to be more comprehensive with giving feedback to students. I’m always good at providing detailed comments on essays, but I’d like to spend more time commenting on smaller assignments too this year.
Status: Broken. Every year I try, every year I feel like I still haven't given enough. Maybe the issue with this promise is that I don't really know what is "enough" for the students compared to what I personally think I should give...
45) Make sure the retirement party for my coworkers who retired this year goes off without a hitch and honors them well.
Status: Kept. Oh, this was so nice and so much fun. It was really great seeing the retiring faculty members so emotional over how much we were able to honor them and their contributions to the school.
46) Take part in more activities on campus; I have a tendency to not attend many events because they’re in the evening when I’m tired, but I should really stay more often.
Status: Kept, though mostly by necessity. I kept constantly getting called in to help on things, even in other departments.
47) Write some Chainsaw Man fanfic for @mistystarshine!
Status: Broken. I'm so sorry, this just did not happen. I wish my work schedule was manageable instead of actually insane. There are so many things I want to write and do for myself, rather than for work...
48) Help my parents tear out the carpet in my old childhood bedroom.
Status: Broken. My mom talked about it a lot, but it never ended up happening.
49) Do something to destress (massage, pedicure, something?) at least once per month. I gotta take better care of myself…
Status: Broken. So broken. I only got more stressed this year. More and more and more and more...
50) I will keep my promises! 
Status: Oof, mostly broken. Next year I'm going to set a reminder for myself so that I remember to check my promises every few weeks or something...
Kept promises: 15
Broken promises: 35
Another year, another chance, I guess. See you all in 2024!

enjoy this unhinged imagine of spending date night with sub!charles: on his yacht! with time stamps… and lots of kinky stuff 😌
[4 PM] the spot's isolated, the view’s great (it’s him. he is the view), paparazzi don’t bother this late when you’re far out, plus he knows the sea like the back of his sexy hand. before sunset, all you do is lay on your towel and watch him play in the water.
[4:30] charles is so silly, he always has to dive for the ball you’re passing him. you take so. many. fucking. pictures of your wet pretty boy. re-slathering him in sunscreen = mommy’s favorite activity. even the risque spots. you love when charles — ticklish as he is — squeals from all the relentless pinching. at least he won’t burn in the sun now 🦀😉
[5 PM] no, charles doesn’t have a red ass from spanking for once. it’s because he tried a rather experimental jump into the water. i swear he just craves pain. the man still can’t sit, so mister greek statue stands, dousing himself with a water hose for your viewing pleasure. he’s got the sexy yellow ICON swim shorts on because those are a must, and they really do fucking stick to his skin 👀
[5:30 PM] the barbecue? smoking like a stove. still not as hot as him! charles does all the cooking and cleaning for his goddess. even the dessert he prepped in the morning. you’ll probably eat it off his abs if we’re honest. a forehead kiss follows — you praise him for the tasty meal, only to snuggle and smooch together in a hammock on deck.
[6:45 PM] he makes sure he freshens/dresses up nicely in a black satin tux, black tie, cuffs, shiny shoes. mistress always picks his clothes. second dinner ahead: the yacht's master bedroom.
[7:10 PM] you rile up the incredulous cutie with a slow lapdance and pull his tie… which makes him go promptly insane 😊 no filter, these gorgeous moans are so damn loud. still dressed, he humps a pillow with no permission to cum, a thumb between your legs. you opt for riding his face to suffocate your honey bun as he deserves.
[8 PM] in typical fashion, charles is busy chugging liters of water after making you cum. the night gets worked up, you rip off his tuxedo, charles needs to feel some red ropes on his body. somebody ends up blindfolded, harnessed and tied to the bed with a hopeless erection unattended to. cue your favorite cock ring, some cane strokes to his thighs… until you edge him with a fleshlight, he swears his mind is breaking apart. pretty kitty will cry and gasp for air 😽
[8:30] this beautiful body twitching and straining is too stunning not to film. after charles feels like he died a thousand deaths and still throbs, you have him cum into his own curled palm. good boys lick up their mess! darling painstakingly cleans his hand with his mouth and chokes on those fingers like a champ. safe to say he’s all demolished… and you have so much juicy video footage of your beloved sub 💕
didn’t have a clue what aftercare/untying scenario would follow this up best, that’s where you come in ✍️ the suspense rises… how would the evening go on? 🤔
- george’s long legs anon 👕 enjoying your blog which is just marvelous, doing god’s work!! this is the place to be on f1 smutblr 🔥👌
👕 anon you are truly extraordinary. This is just… you keep on dropping these absolute masterpieces out of nowhere and I dont think I’ll ever recover from it.
Firstly, he’s planned this for AGES. One of his favourite things about owning a yacht is that he gets to take you on it, that you and him can just spend an evening or an entire day on the water together.
Especially because it’s something that Charles loves so so much? So getting to share it with his dom? Incredible. I also think he’s very protective of that time with you? He makes sure to not let his plans slip, because then his friends might ask to join. And he doesn’t want that!!! This is for his Dom and his dom only!!!
Of course charles knows the perfect place, and I think that he’s sentimental enough that he might always pick the same anchorage? Sure he’ll often explore new places with you, but when it’s time to just spend an evening today then he’ll always pick the same place.
He spends the first hour or so just playing in the water. Of course you’re more than welcome to join him in the water, but you could also just chill and watch him. He loves jumping into the sea, making a big plash and then coming out of the water and straight to you, giggling with his hair a complete mess.
And yes, sunscreen is VERY important. Your sweet boy is very sensitive to the sun and he completely forgets to put the sunscreen on himself. However he never complains when you call him over for more sunscreen, firstly because he’s a good boy but also because he would never complain about your hands on him.
Of course he always gets plenty of kisses to distract him until enough time has gone by that he can get back in the water.
Then, once he’s tired himself out then he simply must douse himself off with the water hose right in front of you. And yes, he does let his swim trunks fall dangerously low on his hips and yes he knows exactly what he’s doing. He knows his mommy’s eyes are on him and he wants to give a good show.
And yes he makes dinner himself. Honestly people who make fun of Charles cooking either haven’t experienced it or have only experienced it when he’s in a hurry. Because he does a great job for you.
Though that be because you’re the one who fucks him, yeah it’s probably that.
And the cuddles on the hammock after dinner and a requirement. You must do so. Charles literally got the hammock installed JUST for cuddles with you. He got one big enough for three people to ensure the two of you would fit comfortably and have the perfect cuddle space.
So he gets his cuddles and his kisses there. That’s where you start to work him up, praising him for the meal he made, thanking him for taking you out, calling him the sweetest prettiest sub you could ever ask for. He starts to get all wriggly in your arms, beginning to get turned on from all the touches and praise and kisses.
That’s when you send him off the bedroom to get changed into the clothes you’ve set out for him. He never knows what he’ll find there. You might have put a skirt out or lingerie or a full suit it something. Tonight it’s a full suit, because you want to undress him.
Riding his face while he’s still on the suit is incredible? You make him lay on his back so he doesn’t have anything to grind against, and you can see how hard he is in his fancy suit pants. His hips desperately on their own accord, trying to get some friction but he doesn’t ask for anything because he’s having the time of his life.
Even though he’s so desperate that there’s literally a wet spot of precum on his pants, he still doesn’t ask for more because he’s a good boy.
Then you have to undress him, treating him like you’re unwrapping the most fragile present and then you just have to tie him. You almost feel bad for edging him, but you desperately want to see him cry from pleasure.
And he does. Tears running down his cheeks as he’s begging you to let him cum. Of course you have to use your hand to actually make him cum, to hold him close and stroke his cock exactly how he likes until he’s crying out and spilling all over your hand.
Then he gets more cuddles on the hammock for a little while, feeling so happy and safe and warm and so so relaxed.
He gets cuddles for about an hour and then it’s time to head back to the dock. Charles drives the yacht and you hug him from behind. He’s fine being in control of that, as long as you hug him from behind the entire time and praise him once he’s docks the boat.
Then you’ll drive the two of you home, letting Charles keep his hand on your thigh for comfort and then he gets even more cuddles and praise.
It’s really just the perfect night.

Fifteen questions for fifteen mutuals!
(It will probably not be fifteen I am too scared to tag too many people)
I was tagged by @galaxycunt weeks ago, and I finally got around to answering.
Tagging @hereforthehaunts @cactme @plasticdodecagon @iwanttobecomeavoid @mars-colony no pressure tho!
Also, feel free to skip any questions you don’t wanna answer.
1. Are you named after anyone?
My great grandpa Tora. But he went by Tory. He was apparently a grumpy ol sonofabitch according to my dad, but it was also his idea to name me after him so 🤷‍♀️
2. When was the last time you cried?
Prolly like two days ago but I don’t know for sure for sure. I cry all the time. I think this time I was crying in frustration at packing for my last camping trip lol
3. Do you have kids?
Nope, and I don’t know if I want any tbh. It would really cut into my time of being the Weird/Fun Aunt who lets my nieces and nephews stay up too late and helps them dye their hair
4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
Not nearly as much as I did when I was younger. We call that Growth 😌 but sometimes I can’t help myself
5. What sports do you play/have you played?
Ha. I am so uncoordinated I don’t play any sports. I played tennis for one year in high school and hated it. I’ve gone rock climbing once and really enjoyed it even though I was scared shitless, so I’d really like to get back into that. I’ve also been kind of wanting to play tennis again just for funsies with my husband and not actually pay attention to any rules or anything and just have fun.
6. What’s the first thing you notice about other people?
I think height? Because I’m pretty tall and if someone is taller than I am I definitely notice
7. Eye color?
Hazel is the least pretentious way to describe it. Or green…ish.
8. Scary movie or happy endings?
Why not both? I will say I like things to end happily, because I need to have some semblance of hope in the world lol, but also bittersweet endings will stick with me for the rest of my life.
9. Any special talents?
I am freaky good with names and faces. I will remember people who I had one college class with but never actually personally interacted with them. I can also like, trifold my tongue so it looks like a clover.
10. Where were you born?
Ha nice try fbi. Just kidding, it’s just a small town (like, less than a thousand people) in southern Utah and I highly doubt anyone would know the name or where it was, but if perchance they do, it probably means I know them in real life and I’d rather not risk it.
11. Free space
Ummmmm I love hiking and camping, and I’d love to get into photography and videography to be like a nature photographer, I think that would be cool. But I’m also Very Bad at taking pictures. I always forget to take them, or I frame it really bad or the lighting is really bad, I’ve got a lot to learn with that hobby lol. Also I wish I could just wear my crunchy/granolaey/outfits all the time business casual my absolute beloathed
12. Do you have any pets?
No 😔 I want one, either a cat or a dog, but honestly I have so much anxiety around it because there’s this CREATURE in my HOUSE and it needs me to live! And what if it eats my plants and what if my plants are toxic and what if it chews a hole in the floor or the door and we get kicked out and and and (you get the idea).
13. How tall are you?
5’10” 😎 my husband insists I’m 5’9” but he’s wrong
14. Favorite subject in school?
I’m still recovering from the god complex that being in English class gave me so, we’ll leave it at that.
15. Dream job?
I do not dream of labor, but I have a few ideas of what would be preferable than being a receptionist for the rest of my life lol. I’d like to open an online sticker/print shop and just draw and design cute silly stationary and stickers. I’ve also always dreamed of being an author, but seeing as how I can’t finish any of my wips that will probably remain a dream lol.

I finished Jojolion yesterday, here's my thoughts on it below the cut, spoilers of course
overall i liked it, but i think the final chunk was kinda weak. for me, it started around when the fruit appraiser joined the cast. on him in particular, he felt like he was supposed to be a jobro, but he wasn't particularly likeable and i would've preferred him to not stick around for long.
as a small aside, it felt like there was alot of the shounen "guy gets completely fucked up and nearly dead, but recovers the next day" in jojolion. obviously that has alot to do with the lococaca, but it felt like alot to me.
as for why i felt like the ending was weak, my big complaints start with that it was just way too busy. there was so many different things going on with different parts of the cast at once that it was hard to focus on the main showdown
the second is the final stand power awakening with Josuke. it was lame, straight up. im a sucker final crucial last second power-ups, but Soft & Wet: Go Beyond was just not well executed or interesting. how long have these invisible bubbles been happening? why arent they controllable if theyre start of S&W? why does he actually apparently have a small amount of control at the end? why does it need some internet connection to travel to Toru if it can bend reality? why does it even happen at all? its an asspull i wasnt expecting to get in Jojolion.
Speaking of Soft & Wet, it really feels ridiculously underutilized. it does cool stuff with stealing attributes at first, but after that it rarely does anything interesting. i realize Jojolion as a whole was supposed to be more about mysteries and relationships than punch ghost combat, but why even give him a punch ghost? ALOT of wasted potential there imo
my last big issue was with the big bad, Toru. he was just okay. Wonder of U is a really cool stand, and very in line with the themes of Jojolion being about a curse. that being said, it was also much too strong. an ability that you absolutely must work outside of reality to defeat is a bit silly. as for Toru himself, he just wasnt that interesting. showing him as pulling strings and such is neat, but his motivation was very unclear to me. dicking around the wiki, i saw it says that his goal was to rebalance society, but honestly i really did Not get that. could be a weak translation thing, i could just be stupid. all i got from him was that he coule sell it to rich people for crazy profits.
Jobin/Tsurugi were a way better final threat. their motives were relatable and well understood, and their feeling of being too far in to stop even though they were sickened by their own actions were human and something you could sympathize with.
final little ps:
Tumblr media
this last page sucks. again, the wiki says she was crying from happiness that Josuke found his family, but like. she does not look happy at all. shes frowning, or neutral at best. why is josuke seeming to be with another girl? like, there was a couple problems between them, but neither are shown to be thickheaded enough to keep them apart. it feels like there was a whole section missing where the relationship fell apart. eugh.
overall? the first like, 3/4s or so were really good, counteracting the sloppy finish. 7/10
as for my current opinion on all parts:
Part 7 > Part 4 > Part 6 > Part 2 > Part 5 > Part 8 > Part 3 > Part 1

The Identity we seek 7
After a day of helping out at the florists I was able to make a bit more money but I needed to earn some more. Especially since Wodin can't afford to pay for his and Kaito's meals. It has been nice to be a bit more active here though since I didn't really hang out with others that much back home! I arrived at the usual meeting place, this time me and Shogo were more prepared and he had recovered from the awakening. (Kaito) "Are you guy's ready?" we both nodded, Wodin wasn't here this time! My Uncle said today would be busy as some woman made a big order for today I heard she was some sort of wedding planned. I took out the key and once again envisioned both the location and the host....(Anabelle) "Hey you tow. I have seen you guy's snooping around here!" (Kaito) "Stop the warp now!" (Shuie) "I can't....the image is stuck in my head". Oh man this is bad why did someone have to show up just as we are warping again?
(Annabelle) "Huh where are we? wait did my house get bigger?...no wait didn't that dog just talk?". (Kaito) "Drowze, you two go on ahead I will try and return her to reality!" We made our way back into the studio and once again the shadows were making dresses. There were so many different colours and patterns....I bet anyone could find their ideal outfit here. (Shogo) "Let's be a bit more careful" (Shadow) "Hmm looks like we have an intruder attack!" I took out the sword and swung at one of the attacks and it was able to actually slice them. A big group was then coming towards us....(Shogo) "I got hyaaaah" he tried rapidly stabbing at them and took them out. Wow these actually have sharp and sturdy blades, I turned around to see there was still one left! (???) "Please don't I swear the lady forced me to join her army. I am a humble Pixie....ugh if you spare me I can fight alongside you and cure your wounds!.
(Shuie) "Valmont if you can hear me what do I do?" I talked to the key and then, (Valmont) "Welcome it as your second persona. Boy you have a gift to bring forth the power of many beings so welcome this one into your group!". I unwrapped my cloth and tried tying it to the Pixie....huh it actually worked. (Shuie) "When I need you please lend me your power" (Pixie) "Sure thing". (Shogo) "Wow you can use more than one of those guys....hmm I wonder if you can collect even more?". Looks like I have another mystery to uncover...why am I able to do this? Luckily for us we were able to avoid drawing too much attention to us, we tried making it deeper and deeper into the studio. We found some sort of room that didn't feel like it was under Carmine's control like the others. (Kaito) "Ah finally caught up...ah this is perfect, this a room not as influenced by Carmine's perspective. Shuie do your best to memorize this room as we should be able to come straight here if we leave this domain!".
(Shuie) "Sure thing Kaito did you safely escort Annabelle out of this world?". (Kaito) "Sadly no I do not possess a key but I trust Eliza to keep her safe till we decide too leave!". We made a bit more progress through the area but then.....(Shadow Annabelle) "I see you two are snooping around here again. Those worthless minions....I guess I will have to take care of you myself...." (Annabelle) "Why is there a second me?" we both gave Kaito an angry look. (Shogo) "Annabelle get away from here this place is dangerous!" (Shadow Annabelle) "Hahaha look at nice guy Shogo acting all chivalrous. Oh don't upset Annabelle it's so pathetic how you act nice when it reality you want me all to yourself!" (Annabelle) "No I don't think that...." (Shadow Annabelle) "I bet he you just want those 10 seconds of fame from being invited to a dinner party with the model's sister! (Annabelle) "SHUT UP....this isn't me!" (Shadow Annabelle) "Hahahahaha" suddenly the girl turned into some sort of monster, (Shuie) "Dracius come forth I need your help with this one!"

Monday: 19-06-2023 - Work!
Monday’s are always so jammed up. Started my day by picking up my dad from the diagnostic center. Unfortunately, he’s got a stone in his gall bladder which is 30mm in size, hence he has to undergo either a surgery or a laparoscopy operation. Anyway, then dived into reading news, looking up to what’s going on in the tech industry, world economy and markets.  Logged into zerodha, checked how the companies are performing and then dived into Dexa. In talks with a couple of angel investors to raise our seed round. Will pitch an angel in-person this Friday, hoping to crack it. After the calls, had another internal team call, assigning my team their weekly tasks. Building Dexa’s notification center that’ll trigger once you purchase/mint a ticket. Ticket minting works like charm, and you can also try by minting a ticket for the Web3 Meetup Chandigarh.  Post lunch I practiced Javascript till now. Revising is very important, and I solved problems starting from loops, conditions, if/else, Booleans, statements etc. Programming is best learned while doing. You can cram up all the concepts theoretically but it all boils down to execution. I also practice a lot of LeetCode problems. Also, I am participating in a data science competition at Numerai.   Numerai is a data science competition where you build machine learning models to predict the stock market. 
Tumblr media
I am also betting big on CRISPR. I have read around 70 hours of books, research papers and medical apprehensions. I am sure I will make a hell lot of money through this. It’ll take time, but that’s certain.  Also: Live below your means. I hardly spend now. My CA has blocked all my shopping expenses for this month because last month I already have for my birthday. By 2024 I’ll hit 1.5 crores in revenue (projected) and till then, living like a student. Stashing the bank and a lil lifestyle upgrade that’s not even noticeable. 
Tumblr media
Post tea in the evening, checked my NASDAQ portfolio. Eager for the next quarter as NVIDIA is a bold bet I have got my hands into. I’ve put a huge chunk on NVIDIA, and I will pull out and neutralize before the bubble bursts. I’ll write about the market cycles once the next quarter results are out.  Spoke to the lady, I am dating for a while. We both are busy professionals so there’s no “Nibba Nibbi” shit going on here. :D We just check up on each other, see if both of us are doing well, ask how our day was, if we need help, and motivate each other. She’s ambitious too, as I have mentioned earlier as well, so our wavelengths match. We don’t argue on how we are so busy, yes we are because we strive to make it big, and it’s normal. Both of us are around the same age, and its normal that we have other shit to do, apart from each other. 
Pre-tea lifted weights. 10 kg, 60 60 sets each. Arms are like jacked up but used to it. I’ll gain weight soon, once my treatment is over. Still recovering from the years of abuse I did to my body. Will code for a while, check up on the markets, listen to updates, check the crypto portfolio, read the book I have been reading (Peter Lynch’s Beating the Street) and then sleep. For me a 6-7 hour sleep works to stay laser focused and work like hell. And that bitch wants attention, well I am so done with her that I won’t even write more than this. I now entertain people who are equal to me, in class or if they have a good character and are good human beings otherwise, nope. That is why I am very selective about people. I don’t entertain crass anymore. These type of idiots are living in their hypocritical imaginative life, where they talk so big, but are exactly the opposite. They live in this la la land of success but are not even real. I don’t take them seriously, in fact anyone with values and principles would ignore their existence completely. What work have they done, that’s noticeable? Appreciated? What are they contributing to the society? How much are they contributing to our economy? What change are they bringing to this world? NOTHING. Hence, I have no space for these people. Ignore.  Well, that’s pretty much it. Let’s get back to work, read and then sleep!

Living with Losing You - 12/16/2022
It’s Friday, Friday, gonna get down on Friday. But also, today is 5 months...
This blog post will likely be shorter since there was not a whole lot that happened today. I did run again this morning, that was nice. Mostly recovered from the fall (lol). The usual work, meetings, PS for breakfast. I really need to be better about eating out, but I just really do not like cooking. And it’s the convenience, plus it’s delicious. Anyway, future Madison’s problem I guess. 
I was supposed to go on campus to submit receipts for reimbursement, but that didn’t happen because I forgot it was a minimum day. I was supposed to do that yesterday, but I had a work meeting that conflicted with the time that I needed to be there. The struggle is real. Hopefully I will be able to go after break, but if not, it’s just a couple hundred dollars. The kiddos are worth it.
I did have a bit of a moment today. For some reason ATT (I updated the account info a while back) shut off the internet. I had to call and try and get that situated. Issue was that I had no idea what your security questions were. You always were so good about your passwords, etc. Anyway, luckily I eventually figured it out, well, I figured out how to get into your account to pay it. Just not something I needed today. That and the fact that they have my bone scan results and they’re refusing to disclose until I am authorized all over again to be seen by the oral surgeon’s office... Why? I already was authorized so the fact that they’re making me wait longer to disclose this information is wild. I had a good cry as pictured below. It was one of the ones where I try not to hate myself. Super healthy stuff all around.  
Today I had my buddy Wil’s holiday party! He has truly been an incredible friend. I appreciate him so much. He was the one who took me to see Iron Maiden, and came with me to see Dwllers. He is also going to see Badflower with me in March! Likely, at least. He was also the reason why I ended up with Paisley. I wanted to do something nice for him, so I got his a gift certificate to the shop where I got Pais from, and then some chocolate and a card. I made him open it before the party because I was too excited about it (you know how it goes #chrimah). Also, I hate that people assume that a man and a woman hanging out is a date. Sometimes it’s just two really good friends that enjoy each other's company. Either way, this even was SUPER fun. I met a lot of really great people, ate a lot of really good food, and it was overall a fun time. Highlights would be the fact that they gave a shit about my gluten allergy and were very accommodating. Also, Wil and I made paper airplanes out of the drink tickets and then were trying to throw them into a cup. 
If you are wondering where this event was, it was at Island Prime. Likely one of the fancier restaurants in San Diego. Not sure if I’ll be invited back, but it was fun while it lasted. 
Wil had picked me up, so he dropped me back off at home, and I quickly changed into sweats and played a little guitar. Then, it was bed time. I am wiped!
Plus, I have a SUPER busy day tomorrow. Why do I do this to myself?
Rest in Peace, James Burton Nichols
You would have LOVED this dress on me. You have seen it before, but, it looked really cute tonight.

Demon Brothers & How They’d React to MC Breaking a Bone
Broke my ankle on Halloween so I thought this would be a convenient time to do a bone break headcanon :)
————————————————————
Lucifer
When you first told him, he was on it immediately
No leaving the bed, regular check ins, breakfast in bed
Personal butler for as long as it takes for you to recover
Will give you work you missed from RAD
He’d do extra research on how he could help you better
Gets you the best doctor in Devildom with help of Diavolo
If you wanted to get up, he’d be by your side helping you get to where you wanted to go
If you needed the bathroom, he’d wait outside the door and help you get back into bed when you’ve finished
If you need to bathe, but can’t do it yourself, he’ll gladly help and will turn away when you’re getting undressed if you ask him to
If you felt lonely, he’d sit with you and play his music to relax you and just ask you how you’re doing or even tell you stories about him and his brothers
When you’ve recovered, expect him to take a week long nap to recover next
Mammon
Honestly had no idea what you wanted him to do when you first told him about it
Probably just sent you to bed and pestered you every 10 minutes or so to see if you were ok
Lots and lots of research on what you did and how he can help
Wouldn’t think to call you a doctor until Lucifer steps in
Goes out and buys you snacks that he bought with his own money
Won’t tell you he spent his money to get you food though
Brings up some pain meds that Lucifer told him to give you since he’s clueless about this type of thing
Ends up stealing borrowing Levi’s games from his room to play with you if you get a bit bored
If you need the bathroom, this boy won’t know what to do
Awkward shoulder holding to bathroom
Won’t leave you alone, always by your side
If you tell him you need to wash yourself, and you need some help, he’ll become a blushing mess
Won’t open his eyes once while helping you and will be telling you to hurry up
Honestly, he’d probably move in to your room until you feel better
Very happy when you’ve recovered but is instantly back to being his tsundere self
Levi
Panic
Doesn’t know what to do when you told him
Tells you to go to bed, comes in 5 minutes later with his arms full of snacks, anime, manga, games, you name it, he’s got it
Won’t let you go through this alone
Asks several questions to his brothers on how he can help you and what he should do because let’s be honest, this shut in of an otaku has no idea what he’s doing
Will let you lean on his shoulder
Grabs your hand when he’s playing his game to comfort you
Will ask you how you’re feeling constantly
Freaks out and apologises a thousand times if he accidentally touches your broken bone
In your room more than he’s in his now
If you need to go to the bathroom, he’ll be hiding his face in his hands and blabbering nonsense
Eventually will help you when he sees how much you’re struggling
Like Mammon, awkward shoulder holding to bathroom, except not really touching you, just hovering behind you so you don’t fall
Lord help this boy if you ask him to help you wash yourself. You’d probably need to help him after he’s passed out from shock
In the end, Lucifer ends up helping you
Is sad when you’ve recovered as it means he doesn’t have a legitimate reason to cling to you 24/7 but he’s glad you’re better and won’t have to help you to the bathroom again
Satan
Helps you as much as he can when you tell him what happened
Advises you to stay in bed and he’ll be back up soon with medication and water
Sits on your bed with you and strokes your hand to soothe you
Uses a pain relief spell to help settle the pain
Researches how to treat broken bones with you
Agrees to let Lucifer call you a doctor
Let’s you sleep but doesn’t leave you alone, instead, sits in the corner or by the side of your bed with a stack of books to read just in case you wake up
If you do, he’ll read you to sleep, if you wanted
Let’s you play with his fingers or his hair if you get bored and he’s busy reading
All attention is on you if you call for him, no matter what he’s doing
Will bring you some of his homemade food to cheer you up
May even look up human food recipes to make you feel more at home
If you need the bathroom, he’ll lift you up and support you with your arm round his shoulder
Will wait outside your door until you’re done then put you back into bed
Is the one that brings up the fact you need to wash yourself, and will happily help you if you need it
Won’t look if you tell him not to but insists it’s easier for him to help you if he can see where he’s cleaning
Glad you’ve recovered, but has gotten used to the warmth of your room and will often come in to read with you again
Asmo
Fusses you straight into bed when he finds out what happened
Helps you get dressed into more comfortable clothes even if you didn’t ask him to
Spends the entire time that you’re injured by your side, pampering you and chatting with you
Once a week, he’ll insist he paints your nails and does a face mask night
Invites Solomon over to take care of you in his place if he has plans elsewhere
Doesn’t let any of his brothers touch you
Worries about worsening your skin and forces you to sleep early with him, giving you little cuddles, making sure to avoid your injured bone
Goes to Lucifer or Satan for advice on what he can do for you
If you ask him to help you to the bathroom, he’ll hold your hand to support you with his hand around your waist
Will wait outside the door until you’re finished and make sure nobody comes in
Way too excited when you ask him to help you bathe, and quickly ushers you to his private bathroom for more “comfort”
He will not look away if you ask him to, no chance
On the other hand, after you’ve finished, it’s the most relaxed you’ve felt in a long time
When you’ve recovered, he’s thrilled and will immediately make plans for you and him to go somewhere together
Beel
Doesn’t exactly understand how or what you did to hurt yourself but after some explaining, he’s your personal butler
Don’t even expect to walk anywhere now that you’ve told Beel you broke one of your bones
He’s your personal wheelchair for as long as it takes for you to recover
He’ll carry you everywhere, watching out that he doesn’t touch your injured bone and hurt you more
He’ll take you straight to bed and bring you food several times a day to make sure you’re well fed and not hungry
Feeds you the food if you struggle to do it yourself
Goes to Lucifer to ask him for medication to give you
Belphie often joins in to keep you entertained
If Beel needs to go workout, he’ll carry you with him and sit you on a chair so you aren’t out of his sight
Literally never leaves your side, you’re stuck with him
If you ask him to help you get to the bathroom, he’ll carry you to the door so you can go and then wait outside the door like your personal body guard until you’re ready to go back
If you need to wash yourself, and ask him to help, this boy will be flustered but will happily help you if that’s what you want
Very shy throughout the entire process and will cover his eyes if you ask him to
Will help you get dressed if you can’t
Cuddle pile with Belphie at the end of the day, making sure to stay clear of your injured limb
Sad when you’ve recovered but that won’t stop him from spending the same amount of time with you
Belphie
Calls you clumsy when you tell him about your injury
Takes you to the attic so you two can get some peaceful sleep as he believes sleep is the best medicine
When he’s awake, he’ll fetch you food, water, medication, whatever you ask of him
Very protective over your injury, won’t let anyone that’s not Beel or him near you
Invites Beel to help with you often
Let’s you play with his tail or hair if you get bored
If you need the bathroom, he’ll give you that “what do you want m to do about it” look, until he sees how hard you’re struggling and will come to your aid very very quickly
Most likely falls asleep outside the bathroom door
If you need help washing yourself, honestly, he probably isn’t the demon to turn to. He’ll be too busy smirking at you or falling asleep to do anything useful
Beel has to intervene eventually
Wouldn’t even notice you’ve recovered until he sees you walking around by yourself, but he doesn’t care much, he’ll still drag you into bed with him
Secretly disappointed you’re able to leave the bed again

Tumblr media
i've been crazy busy this month for various reasons, so instead of doing a regular "once per day" bingo thing, I decided to do a bunch of five-sentence dumps. Enjoy!
@cloneshipweek
1. Keeli/Doom
The helmet recovered from Ryloth sat heavily in Doom's hands. It felt like it weighed more than the rocky planet itself.
He ached to speak. To say I'm sorry, I failed you, I wasn't there when you needed me.
But the words didn't come, and Keeli would never tease him about being lost for words again.
2. Fox/Fox
"The more you speak," Fox said in a low, threatening tone, "the closer I get to punting you off the nearest platform and letting you free-fall to the surface."
"Aw, Commander, you say the sweetest things," the Torrent that Fox refused to name simpered.
One of these days, he was actually going to kill the CT. The name they had picked was bad enough - did they also have to be so karking annoying?
"You know, I hear kissing is a good way to keep people quiet," they grinned, and Fox didn't give them a chance to say anything else, much to their delight.
3. Keller/Neyo
They didn't ever speak about anything important, really. Neyo could chatter about anything and nothing for as long as Keller would let him, filling up the quiet of the med tent as he stitched the Commander back together after yet another harebrained mission that Neyo and Bacara had taken on.
Proof of life, in the little things. Keller could see he was alive, sure, but the more Neyo talked, the more he could see the tension drain out of the medic's shoulders.
If the stitches got a little more painful towards the end, well, that was just Keller's way of saying he was glad that Neyo was still there to feel the sting of it.
4. Hound/Tup
Grizzer always beat Hound to the lamding platform when the 501st came to Coruscant, not that Tup minded too much. The massif was a package deal with his handler, after all.
Hound laughed and wiped the slobber off of Tup's cheek to press a kiss there. "Welcome back, cyare."
"Good to be back, cyare."
5. Vaughn/Wooley
Someone once described them as distilled sunshine twice over. Vaughn had laughed, all but sparkling in his delight, and Wooley had grinned and blushed, running a hand through his hair and making it fluffier.
The darkness that was spread throughout the galaxy seemed to have a harder time casting a shadow over them. They were just... happy. They had each other, after all.
6. Oddball (Davijaan)/Crys
"You were reckless again," Crys fretted, watching with a scowl as Davijaan climbed out of his scorched fighter.
"And I won, again," he added, getting both feet back on the deck. "Isn't that what's important?"
"No, coming back to me is what's important."
Davijaan rested his forehead against Crys', hoping the contact would say what he couldn't find words for - that he won for Crys, every time.
7. Blackout/Grey
Grey was dozing, just enjoying the warmth of the bunk and the man next to him. Blackout was still deeply asleep, half on top of Grey with his head on Grey's shoulder and his arm over his waist. Warm, and comfortable, and safe.
It was a feeling they didn't get to indulge in often. He was going to relish it for as long as they were able to stay here.
8. Longshot/Hardcase
Hardcase had once claimed he wasn't a very good sniper, which was why he carried pretty much everything except a rifle.
Longshot was now ready to call banthashit on that.
"A millimeter," he said for the tenth time, "a single millimeter of difference between our shots and you say you aren't a good sniper!"
Hardcase shrugged. "You're the best and I'm not as good as you, so -" He gave a muffled laugh as Longshot cut him off with an aggrieved kiss.
9. Bacara/Colt
Kamino was as deary and depressing as ever, but the welcoming party was a sight for sore eyes.
"Colt," Bacara greeted softly, nodding at the other Commander.
"Bacara," he nodded back.
Later, they would have a proper reunion, would catalogue the new scars on each other and kiss away the ache of loneliness that had built up since they had last seen each other. For now, a short nod would have to do.
10. Dogma/Wrecker
Wrecker had called him 'regs' the first time they met, and Dogma had taken it as a compliment.
Dogma had quietly told Hunter about killing Krell, which got him assigned to CF99, and Wrecker overheard and immediately developed a crush.
They really shouldn't click as well as they did - uptight Dogma, loyal to the point of rabidness, and loose canon Wrecker, who loved nothing more than making things explode in glorious fashion?
But they did work, somehow, and soon it was Dogma-and-Wrecker, a single unit rather than two. And they excelled for it.
11. Thire/Cut
"I'm leaving, going AWOL."
"I know." The signs had been there for a while, he just hadn't wanted to think he was interpreting them correctly.
"You should come with me."
"I... I want to, but I can't." I'm sorry.
12. Bly/Spar
Bly had once thought that Spar was everything he wasn't - big and strong and fast and the best of the best.
But now he realized, Spar was an attainable goal, in more ways than one.
He was still a bit taller than Bly, but the muscled arms that wrapped around Bly in the night were hardly bigger than his own.
As Bly snuggled in closer, though, he still thought Spar was the best of the best. Even if they were closer in size, now.
13. Free/Free (my OCs, Crasher/Steel)
"Don't ever do that again," Crasher whispered against Steel's lips.
"I'm sorry."
"I - I thought -" a lot of terrible things had crossed Crasher's mind when Steel had been publicly declared a traitor.
"I know," Steel said, holding Crasher tightly. "No more covert ops for me."
