Heal the Scars 1/?
First of all: Is it Navy or Marines? I’m confused. The ranks Captain and Master Chief Petty Officer are based on the ranks of Smoker and Tashigi on their first appearance. The name of the Island Albatross is from https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/ I’m sorry for grammar and spelling issues, English isn’t my first language. But because I always get sad if I can’t read a story about a beloved side character because of the language barrier I chose to translate it. Can also be found on Ao3 Original is on fanfiktion.de
For Everyone reading “X” instead of “Diez”. To me DIez Drake sounds a lot better than X Drake.
For Everyone thinking the “X” is for the letter (like me) instead of the roman numeral. The realization was enlightening.
For Everyone who has never thought about it and is now looking it up.
For Everyone who loves side characters. We suffer together <3
“Shit, shit, shit, I’m late” the young strawberry blonde woman rushed through the corridors of the Navy base. She couldn’t be late on her first day on the new ship! Not, that she was actually late. For a neutral point of view she was rather early, but for her plans she was late. It was a balance act between to early, but not that early to seem nervous and overzealous. But still earlier than being on time, to show how important her new position was to her and how reliable she was. It required exact planing. And if there where any more delays she would be only on time – to late in her eyes.
Why she was late in her point of view? Well, as an lower officer* she was allowed to wear her own clothes and she made quite an effort to make the right choice. It was similar to the official uniform, just more flattering. She chose dark blue pants and a white shortsleeved blouse. The classical blue neckerchief was worn around her neck instead under the collar. To sum it up: Elizabeth was very pleased with her choice and it only took her about a quarter of an hour to knot the neckerchief the way she wanted it to look. And because her braid wasn’t braided even enough she had to redo it twice before pinning it up.
Yes, it was very important to her to make a good first impression. With her promotion to Master Chief Petty Officer came a transfer. Until now she was stationed at a relatively big navy base at the beginning of the Grandline, where she was one of a few lower officers. Now she would become the right hand of Captain X Drake. This would not only give her more responsibilities, she would also join a crew unknown to her. And since she would be working closely with Captain Drake she wanted to make the best possible first impression. And the few exchanged sentences via transponder snail were not enough to assess him – something she guessed was mutual.
“Master Chief Petty Officer Elizabeth! A call for you. You must immediately come to the communication central”
“Thanks Seaman First Class. I’ll be on my way” The soldier solutes and Elizabeth scowling hurried to the so called communication central. It was actually just a small conference room with maps and a few transponder snails to help close by Navy vessels if necessary. But who called the base to speak to her? On her way she nodded towards some other soldiers in greeting until she arrived at her goal. In front of the door she paused and took three deep breaths, not the sound out of breath. Then she entered and thanked her colleague who handed her the mouthpiece.
“Here is Master Chief Petty Officer Elizabeth Newman speaking”
“Master Chief Petty Officer Elizabeth, this is Captain Diez Drake”
“Captain Drake” She saluted reflexive and fought the urge to roll her eyes towards her snickering colleague to prevent the transponder snail to mimic it “What can I do for you?”
“It is about your upcoming transfer. How soon can you be available?”
She pondered quickly about it “Well, I have my previous superiors clearance and all necessary documents were submitted this morning”
“So, immediately?”
“Uhm, well Sir…I… I will need few hours pack up” she stammered a bit thrown of her guard.
“You shall get them. We will be at Abatross the day after tomorrow in the evening. Can you board at 8.00 am the following morning?”
“Of course” She saluted the transponder snail again – much to the other soldiers amusement.
“Very well. I’m looking forwards to our future collaboration “
Datcha.
Meanwhile Elizabeth stood in front of the base and glanced at the tall clock at the harbor. 7.50. It was enough time to subtly check her blouse for possible sweat marks. All lodgings were in the bases upper floors, which meant a lot of stairs. And her luggage contained two large duffel bags on her back. Even after she parted from many beloved garments (to her female coworkers delight). But on a ship space would be limited. She adjusted her luggage and marched towards the dock.
“Which of these vessels belongs to Captain Diez Drake?” She asked a soldier at the harbor.
“Master Chief Petty Officer Elizabeth!” He saluted “ I…I.. uhm..”
“Landed last evening?” Impatient she shifted her weight. It would be very annoying to be late because of this now.
“uhm.. one of these?” He gesticulated towards all ships in the harbor.
“Second on the left” a small brunette added behind him “I can lead you to the Captain”
“Thank you, that would be very kind” Lizzy followed her with a smile.
“Are you our new officer?” Her escort asked
“Elizabeth Newman” She introduced herself with a nod.
“Yes!” The brunette cheered with a little jump “I’m Cleoma Burks and every other woman on board is a gain”
The blonde smiled at the younger enthusiasm.
Cleoma stopped in front of the command bridge and knocked
“Enter” a voice which Elizabeth heard only once before answered.
The brunette ripped the door open and saluted “Sir I have a surprise for you”
“I somehow doubt to be so much of a surprise” Liz mumbled under her breath before stepping past Cleoma and saluting as well “Master Chief petty Officer Elizabeth Newman, at your service”

Law going full nerd over Sanji in his germa suit is the greatest thing today. I bet on the inside he wanted to act like Luffy and Chopper when they saw the suit and wants to try it out, who wouldn’t when a character from their favorite comic comes to life 😂😂

" My mom is so beatiful! " - Batfamily x Model!Batmom headcanons
Request: Batmom headcanons where batmom’s a model & the coolest mom ever?
Author's note: Thank you anon 🫶! Here is my second request, so I hope you like it. I didn't know what to put for the title so I settled for this one.
And it will also take me a while to upload the Zatanna x reader oneshot 🤗.
Again I clarify that my main language is not English, so sorry for the spelling errors 😿.
TW: nothing!! Just fluff I think
Tumblr media
Nightwing / Dick Grayson
Since he met you, he was fascinated with your beauty and elegance.
He loved when you went to galas and you wrapped him up in your long elegant jacket while you picked him up in your arms and let him fall asleep like that.
Dick didn't miss any of your shows or commercials.
I bet he has your older shows saved on his computer.
A model and cool mother at the same time? Wow, Dick couldn't ask for more.
You are his only support, the only one who was there and loved him no matter what.
Dick will always ask your opinion about what he wears or what haircut he will get.
He goes crazy every time he hears someone say "Your mom is hot."
"It's not my fault that my mom loves me and yours didn't love you, fucking slu-"
I feels like he would play with you by imitating your walk just to annoy you.
Always showing off his mother, yesyesyes.
The YJ and Titans members would be very jealous of him; because you treat him very nicely and send him food, without saying that you drown your son with love.
Jason Todd / Red Hood
When he was Robin he was dwarf and plump. I and other people agree 😇
Jason loves the support you give him and keep giving him.
And he also loves your delicious food, he probably asks you to prepare some for him every time he goes out on patrol.
I just imagined him (when he was Robin) bringing you a bouquet of flowers bigger than him once you finish the show, seeing you with those beautiful and big eyes 😭
I bet he sometimes got scared when he saw your face on a commercial billboard.
And he keeps doing it, only he spits out whatever he's drinking when he sees you in TV. (Without him knowing that you participated as a model in X brand)
He loves and continues to love your attacks of kisses on his face.
Yes, he would also ask you for style advice, but only once a year, he is very proud when it comes to his clothing style.
"YOU SON OF A BITCH!! HOW DARE YOU HAVE A FUCKING POSTER OF MY MOM?!?!"
Damn Jason, your mom is a model, what do you want them to do?
Tim Drake / Red Robin
He has a love-hate relationship with your love attacks.
Tim, like his other siblings, would not miss any of your shows, or the parts in which you appear.
He would help Barbara to make sure no one wants to sabotage you at one of your shows.
If given the choice between your food or the support you give him, Tim would jump off a bridge. (jk)
"Bro, can you shut the fuck up and stop saying how beautiful my mom is? I already know that."
Tim gets embarrassed every time he is with his friends and you call him (by phone XD), because you start reminding him that he is very handsome and he need to eat something. But it irritates him more when his colleagues ask to talk to you.
Damian Wayne / Robin
I think he wouldn't care about your job
He's like, the most attached to you.
After your shows he would be attached to you like a flea.
Also at the galas.
Damian was surprised that you were so kind and loving towards him despite the things he said to you before him had that mother and son connection.
I think we all know that there is some kind of hate between you and Talia, no 🥸?
Oh yes, he wouldn't care about your love attacks, as long as it's not in front of his friends.
"Yes mom, yes I ate the food... Yes, I know you love me. *sighs* I love you too mommy..."
You're like Jon's second mom.
His favorite days are pool or beach days, he likes to enjoy the sea while spending time with his mom.
Cassandra Cain / Orphan
Cass is the vice president of your fan club.
Cass loves you infinitely.
She has an album full of photos of you and her after the shows.
She doesn't like the idea of you parading in swimsuits.
She would always ask you for clothing tips and advice.
Cass likes, loves, and admires having a mother who understands her and can be herself with her.
She wouldn't care if you show her love in public or private. She always gives you more love back!
Skincare routine between you and her.
You always make sure that she is fashionable but also has her own style.
She would have a lot of admiration for you.
I feel like she would hardly take any notice of "your mom is hot" because she thinks they are flattery.
But if they go overboard and insult you, Cass wouldn't hesitate to give them a good beating. Nobody messes with her mommy.
I think she would have you as her wallpaper. A photo of you and her on your birthday or on her birthday.
Stephanie Brown / Spoiler
She is the President of your fan club.
Throughout the parade she is like "how boring, I want to leave" until you finally appear, it doesn't matter if the outfit you wore is ugly, she would applaud you with all her might.
"WHY DID YOU AGREE TO DO A BIKINI COMMERCIAL?!?!"
I feel like she gets angry every time anyone tell her "she's super hot" (you), and Steph is like "the nosebleed I'm going to give you is going to be hot."
Every time she sleeps over at the mansion she joins you and Cass's skincare routines.
She loves you because every time you talk there is some laughter.
Steph appreciates and adores the support you give her as a mother figure.
You rarely have love attacks towards her.
But she adores them.
Every chance she would go shopping with you.
Duke thomas / The Signal
Just let me...
Duke is your photographer.
He had a hard time opening up to you at first, but you were just great and so sweet to him.
He doesn't react like his brothers do when they tell him "your mom is hot", rather he would feel uncomfortable.
Only if they insult you would he get serious.
He likes that you are always there to support him every time he goes out on patrol or comes back from patrol.
You and Duke's connection started when you tried to get him to distract himself from the harsh reality of his biological parents, like going to the park and all that.
He is embarrassed when you have your love attacks towards him. It doesn't matter if you are alone or in public, he will be embarrassed every time you have those love attacks.
I feel that when you go with him to buy clothes, you spend a lot of time because you can't decide what clothes to buy him.
But in the end you end up buying everything for him.
Barbara Gordon / Oracle
Yes, I added Barbara, okay?
In my AU there was no love affair between her and Bruce 😇
The one in charge of making sure everything goes well at the shows.
Sometimes she sees you as her mother, sister and best friend.
Barbara always sends you messages; according to her so as not to lose contact, which is a lie because you know it is purely on a whim.
I don't think you have love attacks with her, just a simple kiss on her cheek or forehead.
Although sometimes she envied the attention you gave to your children.
Barbara would value and care for you deeply.
Tumblr media
[You can add more headcanons if you like <3]

#BLOCKOUT2024
A movement that I have not yet seen here on tumblr and more on tiktok. Seen as the currency of celebrities are fans and followers, they lose profits simultaneously to losing the attention from us. #BLOCK2024 calls to block all celebrities that are openly Zionist or have yet to speak up about the situation in Gaza. Blocking them insures that we won't be shown any posts or advertisments by the algorithm of whatever social media platform you may use. Block them everywhere you can find them, because the loss of profits might finally make them use their immense platforms. Here a list you can start with, happy blocking.

I need more tmf mutuals so i’m doing this quick about me thing
Name, pronouns and age are all already in my bio so this will be more fandom specific
Favorite character(s)?
Definitely Jake, Lia, Drew and Milly (and i’ve been warming up to Daisy recently as well)
Favorite Episode?
Ep 11 because of the drama but I love the vibes of Ep 6 (it’s kinda like season 3 of stranger things, if you watch that)
How long have you been a fan?
I’ve been a fan of Rosy since her drarry series but I only started to care about tmf around episode 3
Zodiac sign/birthday?
I’ve never really been very into zodiacs but I was born on April 18th and i’m an aries
If you could change one thing about tmf what would it be and why?
Probably hailey’s characterization, i love her but she isn’t very consistent and doesn’t have any backstory besides her stage fright
Mbti?
From both the test and studying cognitive functions i’m an ENFP
What do you ship?
Drake, Henriam, Hailia (Hailey x Lia) , Lander , Dadie
What ship do you hate?
It’s hard for me to hate any ship if it’s not illegal or creepy but if i had to choose i’d say Jander as a personal preference and Jailey just because it’s underdeveloped
Character you'd love to punch in the face?
Elliot. I hate this man more than life itself for no real reason
What character do you want to learn more about?
Drew and Zander we get little snippets here and there but i really want an episode dedicated to either of them
Character you relate most to?
Jake, Lia and (despite how much she annoys me sometimes) Hailey
Favorite moment between a ship?
The lander confession never fails to get me feeling so comforted and nostalgic
Favorite moment between a friendship?
Milly, Zander and Luke while they’re at the mall and Zoe shaking Henry on that one Driam insta post
Unpopular opinion?
The music club weren’t in the wrong for yelling at jake after the voice note, especially since he had bullied them for years (not saying that drew and the dromies were wrong either)
These will probably change after a while but these are my current opinions BUT PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I NEED TO SEE MORE TMF FANS😭

I’m a pretty strong defender of Willow in Buffy but I do wonder if people realize that I do see her flaws.  I just think the show shouldn’t really have dealt with them
People have flaws. They don’t all get dealt with or take you over or everyone would be perfect or evil by the time they die.
It’s kind of like with Tim Drake in DC or Kitty Pryde in Marvel.
Fans joke about Future Tim constantly being Evil Gun Batman because of a bad future version of him in official canon.  There’s posts on here that call him morally grey at best.  People joke about him carrying a sticky note written by Batman to remind him of the Batffamily’s policy on murder.  The darkness is there and it’s recognized, but the current version of the character never actually succumbs to it
Similar with Kitty.  In the recent Sins of Sinister storyline, in the bad future it  was declared that stripped of her morals she was one of the cruelest mutants out there.  In the 80s villains with major plans loved the idea of corrupting her.  In the 90s they made her the Black Queen of the Hellfire Club in the Mutant X-verse.  And readers acknowledged some of it too.  X-men fanfic in the 90s made reference to it.  I remember one story where the writer had Wolverine say that if Kitty was kicked off the X-men for being to young, based on her personality and the life mutants lead she’d be back in five years acting like Emma Frost without the bleach  job(and based on timing this would have early 80s Emma) and another where instead of attacking Pete Wisdom when he sees him and Kitty kissing, Colossus realizes if Kitty didn’t want him kissing her she’d have force fed him his testicles. And then gotten angry
People see it acknowledge it, but the writers basically never intend for the bad turn to happen

Savage Love Chapter 23: Auvernall
Series: Savage Love
Fandom: The Royal Romance
Pairings: Riley x Liam, Riley x Drake
Rating: R         
Warnings: Mature themes, lemons mentioned
Word Count: 2,816
A/N: Special shoutout to @nestledonthaveone (she'll understand why at the end)
My other stuff: Master List.
Tumblr media
Dinner, packing, limo ride to the airport, and a plane ride later we arrived in Auvernall. We went from the airport straight to Liam’s grandfathers’ estate. It was late and Lord Rutherford Castellanos was already in bed asleep. He’d left orders for the staff to show us to our rooms with his apologies. He’d see us at breakfast.
I once again found myself in the position of having to choose between them or spend the night alone. I opted for alone.
I was used to sleeping by myself. Or, I had been. The last couple of months I had gotten used to having Drake in my bed almost every night. Any night he wasn’t there, was usually because I was with Liam.
I hadn't spent but a bare minimum number of nights alone since I’d arrived in Cordonia. So, you’d think I’d relish the privacy. I probably needed a break from both of them. But I found myself lying awake in the dark, thinking about how they were both just down the hall.
Memories of Nick also poured through my mind, but for different reasons. Things I hadn’t thought about in years broke through the surface of my consciousness. I tossed and turned for what seemed like hours. Sleep was elusive and fitful when it finally came.
I overslept the next morning. I hadn’t done that in years. I dressed quickly and headed downstairs to find the men already seated around the dining room table. “Why didn’t someone wake me up?”
All three men rose to their feet as I entered the room as a matter of propriety. But Lord Castellanos simply gave me a small bow and greeting whereas Drake and Liam both stumbled out of their chairs to try and pull one out for me.
Liam made it to a chair first. He brushed a soft kiss across my check as he pulled out the seat for me. I leaned my cheek toward him to make it easy, then I turned to Drake and tipped my head in his direction so he could give me a quick peck on the other check, which he did while taking my hand in his, “We thought you could use the extra sleep.”
“Hm.” I replied.
“Riley, I’d like to formally introduce you to my grandfather, Lord Rutherford Castellanos.” Liam gestured toward the older man.
“Lord Rutherford,” I inclined my head, “How lovely to meet you. I see where Liam gets his good looks.”
The older man chuckled, “Which one of us are you trying to charm my dear, me or my grandson?”
I raised my eyebrows in mock alarm, “Can’t it be both?”
That earned me another chuckle. “Diplomatic too, I see.”
“She’s very diplomatic, as well as smart and beautiful.” Liam informed his grandfather.
“Don’t forget funny and brave.” Drake added.
Lord Castellanos gave me an appraising look, “You seem to have quite the fan club young lady.”
“I just have them fooled.” I winked at him as I buttered my toast.
“They aren’t wrong, my dear, you certainly seem to be all of those things.”
“Why thank you my lord.”
“Please, call me Rud. Everyone does.”
“They do not!” Liam grinned at me, “He makes everyone call him Lord Castellanos unless he really likes them!”
“Well, then.” I gave him one of my most brilliant smiles, “Rud it is! And you can call me Riley. None of this Lady Riley or Princess Riley bullshit.”
Rud laughed and it was a deep guffaw, a genuine and true sound. His eyes crinkled at the corners when he laughed and the sparkle in them reminded me of Liam.  
After everyone had eaten and the plates had been cleared away, and fresh coffee had been poured, Rud turned to Liam with curiosity lighting his eyes, “I’m always happy to see you Liam, but you don’t just drop in on a moment’s notice, nor do you bring guests, so do you want to tell me what this is about?”
Liam sighed and his eyes found mine. I reached for his hand under the table and gave it a squeeze. I gave him an encouraging smile and he smiled back.
“To be honest, some information has come to light, and I have some questions about my mother.”
“I see.” Pain flickered behind Rud’s eyes and my heart ached for him. Losing his only daughter couldn’t have been easy for him. “What kind of questions?”
Liam looked at me for help. I decided to just dive in, “Can I be blunt?”
He gave me a curt nod, “I prefer it.”
“Is there any chance your daughter had another child? After Liam?”
“What? Why would you think that?”
“We found a day minder that belonged to Eleanor that seems to indicate she was pregnant in the year before her death. The date indicated as her due date coincides with her last visit here before…”
“Before her murder. You can say it. I sure haven’t forgotten.”
“Exactly. Right before her murder. There are rumors of a secret heir, and they could be just that, baseless rumors, but…”
“But if I have another grandchild out there, I need to know.” His eyes flicked to Liam, “We all need to know.”
“Yes, grandfather. But…” Liam looked down at the tabletop before pulling in a deep breath, “If she was pregnant, why didn’t my father know?”
“Are you sure he didn’t?” Rud asked.
“I feel like he would have mentioned it if he knew he had a missing child.” Liam replied.
Drake and I exchanged glances. There was at least an outside chance that the child wasn’t Constantine’s. It was the only reason I could come up with for a woman hiding her pregnancy from her husband.
“Well, I didn’t see your mother on her last trip home, unfortunately. I was out of the country at the time. And your grandmother and I were divorced by then, so she wouldn’t have necessarily told me. Assuming there’s anything to tell.”
“So this is a dead end.” Liam sighed.
“Not necessarily.” Rud said.
“What do you mean?” Liam asked.
“I mean…if your mother came here to have a secret baby, then your grandmother’s best friend would know about it. She’s a doctor after all.”
“What’s her name?” Drake asked.
“Dr. Katherine Boedecker. Come on Liam, I’ll get her number for you.”
Liam followed his grandfather out of the room. Drake moved over to take the seat next to me. His copper and gold flecked eyes searched mine as he draped an arm across the back of my chair. “How’d you sleep?”
I flushed a little as I lied, “Fine.”
“You can tell me the truth.” He said as his finger brushed over my cheek, “I know I slept like shit.”
“Don’t sleep well in new places?” I asked.
“That’s not why.” He answered. “I’ve always been a light sleeper and yes, that’s even worse in unfamiliar places but…”
“But?” I raised my eyebrows in question.
“I slept like shit the night before last too.” He didn’t elaborate on why and I thought it prudent not to ask. I knew what he was implying.
“I’m sorry, have you tried white noise?” I looked away from him to sip my coffee.
He leaned in and put his mouth to my ear, his voice low as warm breath pattered across my skin, making me shiver, “I missed you, missed your body pressed against mine, missed waking up next to you, missed having my face buried between your legs first thing in the morning…”
Oh. My god. Heat coiled in my center then spread out, tendrils snaking through every inch of my body. My eyes fell closed and my head tipped to the side. My teeth dug into my bottom lip as fire erupted along the side of my neck where his lips brushed it.  
He pulled back and gave me that signature panty dropping grin of his as we heard footsteps in the hallway. I hurriedly regained my composure before Liam and Rud entered the room.
It had only been twenty four hours since Drake and I had done the deed in Liam’s shower, but damned if my body wasn’t reacting as if I hadn’t had sex in months. He was still too close for comfort. I could smell him, I could feel the energy pulsing off his body and it was doing things to me.
Contrary to the lie I’d just told Drake, I had not enjoyed sleeping alone. I had not enjoyed waking up alone and I’m not sure when that happened. I’d been waking up alone for years, and sleeping alone, like a baby. On the rare occasions I spent the night with someone, it made it harder to sleep. People snore, they move around at night. They take the covers and invade my side of the bed. They wake up too early, or not early enough. I don’t like it.
Or at least, I didn’t. I hadn’t since Nick. That was the last actual relationship I had been in and we had crashed and burned spectacularly. I made a vow after that not to get emotionally involved again and I had kept that promise to myself.
Until now.
My eyes lifted to meet Drake’s and my lips curved up into a smile even though I struggled against it. Then I looked up at Liam and I felt my heart stutter in my chest. Jesus, I was in so much fucking trouble.
The number Rud gave us was correct, but it wasn’t being picked up. It just kept rolling to voicemail.
“Now what?” Liam asked.
“Now I guess we’re going to her.” I replied.
“I’ll have the car brought around.” Drake said.
“I’ll get you her home and office address.” Rud followed Drake out of the room, leaving me alone with Liam.
“Liam, thank you.”
He gave me a quizzical look, “For?”
“It hasn’t gone unnoticed that you haven’t pressured me for answers about Nick.”
“You’ll tell me whatever I need to know when you’re ready. Whatever it is, it’s part of your past and your past is part of what made you the person you are today, and I like the person you are today.” He took my hand in his and kissed the back of it.
I studied his face and there was nothing but sincerity in it. He wasn’t threatened by my past with Nick. He wasn’t threatened by my present with Drake. He was still convinced that our destinies were intertwined and he was patiently waiting for me to figure that out and agree with him.
As convinced as he was, he wasn’t being territorial, he wasn’t being presumptuous, he wasn’t doing any of the things I’d come to associate with men marking their territory. Not that I was territory to be marked, that kind of thinking was exactly the problem. But he didn’t seem to think like that.
I was starting to question things. Chief among them, my sanity. This was madness. Even entertaining the notion that either of them could be something….more.
They couldn’t.
I mean, they could. Either one of them would make a remarkable life partner. Both of them, each in their own way, had more or less laid their heart on the table for me. The issue was me. I was the hot mess, I was the emotionally unavailable one, I was the problem.
Even if I wasn’t leaving at the end of all this, even if I was willing to do the long distance relationship thing, which heart did I pick up and which did I shatter? Once again, my inability to choose between them was going to doom me to end up without either of them.
My thoughts were broken by Rud informing us that Drake was waiting by the front door, the car was ready. Liam offered me his hand and I took it. He pulled me out of my seat and brushed a soft kiss across my lips before lacing his fingers through mine and heading for the dining room door.
“Thank you!” I told Rud on the way out.
“Yes, thank you, grandfather.” Liam echoed, “We’ll see you at dinner!”
Then we were in a car heading into Moorehaven, the largest city in Rud’s duchy and home to Katherine Boedecker, M.D.
Her office was in a high rise in the business district, not the medical district. Likely because she catered to the elite and this was a more convenient location for them. Liam talked his way past building security, primarily because one of them recognized him. We rode the elevator to the seventh floor.
A middle aged blonde woman sat behind the reception desk. She tapped her manicured nails impatiently against the top of her desk, “I don’t care who you are, no one gets in without an appointment.”
“It’s a matter of great importance to both Auvernall and Cordonia.” Liam insisted.
Drake scanned the office then made a beeline for one of the doors. I hurried after him.
“Wait!” The receptionist yelled out, “You can’t just-“
But we just did. Drake flung the door open as Liam caught up with us.
Liam’s grandfather was in his eighties. If his grandmother were still alive, she’d be in her late seventies. It was a good bet that her best friend was in the same age range. So the thirty something woman with the short brunette bob sitting behind the desk was not her.
“I’m so sorry, Anita!” The receptionist called from behind us, “I told them they needed an appointment!”
“It’s ok, Susan.” The brunette dismissed her with a wave of her hand then gave us a decidedly unfriendly look, “Who are you and why have you so rudely burst into my office?”
“We were looking for Dr. Boedecker.” Drake said.
“Yes, well, as Susan pointed out, you need an appointment for that and since she’s mostly retired, she’s not taking on any new patients.”
“We’re not patients,” Liam explained, “She was my grandmother’s best friend.”
Anita’s face softened a little, “You’re Liam?”
“Yes! And I have some questions about my mother than only Katherine can answer. Please, it’s important!”
“I’m sorry, I truly am. But she’s not here right now, she retired so she could focus on her charity work. She runs a group of free clinics across the country and that takes up all her time.”
Auvernall was a county with a sprawling military industrial complex but no health care for the uninsured.
“Can you tell us where to find her?” I asked.
Her eyes flicked to me, the annoyance back, “No. She’s quite busy. If you’d like an appointment, I can get you on her schedule for…..” she glanced down at her phone and swiped a few times, “Early next month.”
“That’s unacceptable, we need to speak with her as soon as possible!” Drake said.
“Well, too bad.” The woman shrugged, “You can schedule an appointment with Susan on the way out-“
“She’s already in a meeting!” Susan yelled from the other room as the door swung open again.
“Jesus fucking Christ, does no one have manners anymore?” Anita exploded.
A young man with reddish blond hair barreled into the room, “We’re in trouble ‘Nita!”
“Christ Roland! What now?”
“Our closing act for the charity talent show just canceled!”
“What?” She jumped up from her chair and started digging through piles of paper, “They can’t! They signed a contract! Hold on, I have it right here-“
“The entire band has the flu! Unforeseeable circumstances, there’s a clause in the contract for that.” The young man informed her.
“Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! The concert is in two days! We can’t cancel it! The foundation needs the money to continue running the clinics! Where the hell are we going to get a band in two days?”
“Ah, excuse me?” I spoke up.
She whirled on me, “What?”
“I know where you can get a band.”
She froze. “You do?”
Liam turned to me in astonishment, “You do?”
Drake stiffened at my side, “Oh, no.”
“Yes, I do. But we will require a meeting with Dr. Boedecker, tonight! Tomorrow at the latest. Get me that and I’ll get you a band.”
Her eyes bore into me with a doubtful expression, “What band?”
“Squid Whiskey.”
There was a sharp intake of breath from Liam.
Anita narrowed her eyes in suspicion, “I’ve never heard of them. Are they good?”
“Oh yes,” I replied, “Very popular in Cordonia. I can have them here by tomorrow.”
I hoped.
Anita seemed to hesitate and Roland spoke up, “We’re desperate ‘Nita, we need a band. I think I’ve heard of them!”
She turned to him, “You think?”
He shrugged, “It’s them, or we have to cancel the show. I’ve called every band I can think of already.”
“Fine!” She huffed, “Get the band here by tomorrow afternoon and you’ll get your meeting with Katherine.”

Subplots
AVENGERS + ADJACENT
— Battle of New York was the first domino to fall and also the first mission of the Avengers. Already they were crumbling from the moment they began after being rounded up by Nick Fury. Couple that with Tony Stark’s incessant need to find a way to protect the Earth from the terrors outside the solar system with Ultron, the Avengers are fraying at the seams. There’s a clear divide between them, those for Registration and those vehemently against. Steve Rogers stands in the middle, a man with a code and a mission to save as many people as he can. For now, it’s through being on the MAC, but it’s quickly becoming clear that Congress doesn’t want to see reason. The tensions between those that are in approval of registration and those against is starting to wear thin and it might see the split of Earth’s first major hero team.
Tony Stark
Steve Rogers
Clint Barton
Natasha Romanoff
Bruce Banner
Sam Wilson
James Rhodes
Wanda Maximoff (adoptable NPC)
Vision
Scott Lang
Hope van Dyne
X-MEN/BROTHERHOOD
— Charles Xavier, one of the leaders of the MAC, has made it clear that he isn’t going to fight against the Registration laws. As the founder and creator of the X-men and Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters, he leads the charge in following the Registration. He has graciously offered all students and members of the X-men to be one of the first to join the list of powered humans. This of course sets off a chain reaction amongst the mutant kind. Those that are for Registration, stay with Charles and the X-men, assuming the best while those that are heavily against the idea of being monitored leave their home behind and join the Brotherhood on Genosha. Scott Summers has left the X-men behind, moving to Genosha to create his own team of fighters hellbent on protecting the lives of the innocent mutant children out there and working on keeping them from the Registration list. Then of course there is the Hellfire Club, the mysterious mutant exclusive group whose intentions are their best kept secret. Only Emma Frost has made her way outside the shroud of mystery in order to sit on the MAC, but really it’s just to keep her feelers out in the world for mutant gain. Tensions are high amongst mutant kind, battle lines are drawn, and the powder keg is about to be lit.

Raven Darkhölme

Bobby Drake
Ororo Munroe
Kitty Pryde
Simon Lasker
Lorna Dane
STARK INDUSTRIES/DODC 
— The moment the Battle of New York happened, SHIELD ceased to exist. The Department of Damage Control rose in its place. These good men and women of the DODC work tirelessly to make the world safer for those humans who just want to live in peace and harmony. There will be no more shady missions in the background, no priority given to the powered heroes. Only cleaning up the mess that they created in the first place. Except Tony Stark wasn’t exactly all for it. While for Registration after the disaster of Ultron, he knew that having freedom to create outside of the government’s control is imperative. Which is why he and Stark Industries began to poach the former members of SHIELD. While Stark wasn’t a big fan of SHIELD in the first place, at least they did some good. He plans on doing the same. The only problem is the DODC doesn’t necessarily enjoy Stark Industries scalping their best people. SI might just be facing some legal battles with some physical force in the future especially with those former SHIELD agents who have gone to SI without finishing out their government contracts
Movers & Shakers:
Pepper Potts
Happy Hogan
Jemma Simmons
Leopold Fitz
Al Mackenzie
Daisy Johnson
Phil Coulson
Maria Hill
Melinda May
John Walker
Suggested Characters: 
Monica Rambeau
Jennifer Walters
AIM/HYDRA
— Justin Hammer and Aldrich Killian. Two names that should be enshrined in the hall of the greats, but they’ve only become shadowed by Tony Stark. They plan on changing that. Hammer Industries and AIM have teamed up together to work on weapons that target those rogue metahumans who refuse to comply with the government’s wishes. It doesn’t hurt that both of them have grudges against the Avengers, Tony Stark in particular. Sure, their work might be controversial, but they have the government funding and the law enforcement that tend to look the other way when it comes to shady deals. Doesn’t hurt that HYDRA may or may not be slinking its tentacles into the mix too. Illegal experimentation has become rampant behind the scenes, but HYDRA doesn’t have to worry. They have more than a few politicians on their side to keep them from being discovered and what information they learn, they’re giving over to AIM for future weaponry. The illegal, cruel, circle of life if you will. 
Movers & Shakers:
Aldrich Killian
Justin Hammer
Alexander Pierce
Ophelia Sarkissian (adoptable NPC)
Bucky Barnes (admin NPC)
Suggested Characters: 
Brock Rumlow
Helmut Zemo
GOVERNMENT AND THE MEDIA
— Everyone knows that the media only show what they’re paid to show, what stories matter to the people with the deep pockets. Before the registration laws went into effect, there were rumors that the media was being bought, but it wasn’t until the laws happened that it was clear just who was paying the big bucks. Nowadays you can’t turn on a news channel without some TV spot about a rogue mutant or dangerous metahuman destroying property or endangering lives. The civilians of the world are only being fed what the politicians want them to see and that happens to be the downfall of metahumans. If only there were some media personalities out there that planned on fighting back against the blatant discrimination. 
Movers & Shakers:
Christine Everhart (WNIN)
John Jonah Jameson (Daily Bugle)
Trish Walker (Trish Talk)
Valentina de Fontaine (CIA and HYDRA)
Everett Ross (CIA)
Mitchell Ellison (New York Bulletin)
Suggested Characters: 
Ben Urich (New York Bulletin)
STREET
— Wilson Fisk considers himself the savior of Hells Kitchen. A rich benefactor in public, but a crime boss behind closed doors and no one dares speak up about it. For years he’s doled out offers of money and favors with the unspoken agreement that those favors will be called in one day. Now that Registration laws have gone into effect, he has generously offered a safe haven for those unregistered or fugitive metahumans on the run, using their abilities for his own gain. The only problem is now that he’s expanded his empire, it also means more eyes are on him and what others found fishy, they now find evidence of his meddling. Matt Murdock has been watching Fisk for years, buying his time, but now that Fisk’s seedy deals are starting to come to light, he’s starting to bring more of the other vigilantes to fight alongside the Daredevil. But you know what they say about deep pockets…
Movers & Shakers:
Matt Murdock
Jessica Jones
Luke Cage
Danny Rand
Frank Castle
Billy Russo
Maya Lopez
Wilson Fisk
Suggested Characters:

News Coo here! I have come to deliver an important letter, sent all the way from Impel Down. The sender told me to deliver this as soon as I can, so it must be urgent. Also, they have requested that you send a letter back, though they understand if you have no response to make at this time. Welp, looks like I have to go deliver some more letters. Let’s see next letter goes to… Komugi Island. Ah, must be Katakuri Fan Club asking to see his ‘deliciously spectacular mochi tiddies’ again. They are a persistent bunch… I can’t count how many letters they have sent to him this past week… maybe over a hundred or so? Oh, did I say that out loud? I’m sorry! I shouldn’t be talking about other people’s business. Please don’t tell anybody about that… or I’ll be fired. Anyways, here is your letter. See you soon! 
-----
Doe, 
Before you crumple up and throw this letter away, please hear me out. I understand that you may not want anything to do with me, but I ask that you please read what I have to say.
From what I have heard, you are alive and well. Apparently, the power of the ‘tumblr community’ has resurrected you from the dead. What an amazing power that community holds… I have never heard of such a thing before. My jaw still aches from how hard Big Mom’s son punched me… he must have used haki while punching me… but that isn’t the primary matter here. 
I want to apologize for my actions during my stay at your estate. Even though I am not fond of how you side with the pirates, it does not make what I did okay. I was only following orders from the World Government… but I feel heavy regret from my actions. I admit, I did pose as your friend so I could find out where your allegiance lies, but some of that friendship… was genuine. I do value you as an individual and it did hurt me to do what I did… to kill you. I know it seems absurd, that I enjoyed being your friend but ultimately betrayed you in the worst way possible, but my feelings are true. I am not asking for friendship again, because I know my actions are unforgivable.
Once again, I apologize for my actions. I do not want to beg you for forgiveness… but I hope that one day, you can forgive me for what I’ve done. You need not to respond to this letter, though I would appreciate an acknowledgement in return. 
Sincerely,
X-Drake
Oh don't you worry, Drakey Boy, you'll be forgiven soon enough 👀 I'm certain I can think of some suitably embarrassing and hilarious scenarios to put you through in retaliation for murdering me months ago. Don't you worry indeed.
P.S. If I have another event, you'll be forced to participate whether you like it or not, hehe.

Heal the Scars 12/?
As unusual, fully Story on AO3 and full in my mother tongue on Fanfiktion.de
Sorry, long note.
I wanted to go with something else, but it got out of hands. Sorry.
Shrouds: ropes between the masts.
About Drake’s hybrid form… I rewatched some Wano episodes and chapters and realized, it varied. And sometimes he was a tail and sometimes not. (At the beginning not, but in chapter 1006/episode 1022 it is very clear to see) I decided to go for the option with the tail, because I think it looks cooler ;)
And I said it before, I think not all Marine ships have doctors. In the One Piece world can’t be enough doctors for every Base, and ship, pirate doctors, and civil doctors. Recently I read an article about medical care on merchant and cruise ships (at least about the German ones). I don’t know about marine ships, I hope they‘re better equipped than nautical officers with additional training. But since the One Piece Marine also fulfills the job of the Police, and at least in the rural area the Police stations don’t have their own doctors. So I will continue as if not every Marine ship has their own doctors.
The Master Chief petty Officer and the captain bonded over some very detailed discussions about Sora‘s Adventures. The daily briefings now contained the current Sora comic as well. Of course they read the whole newspaper, after all they had to be informed about everything going on in the world. 
It was not one of his most glorious moments, but Drake came to value her love for preparations.
 „Well, sink my ship, Captain Drake“! What happened to you?!“ She almost dropped her teacup, the moment she spotted her superior entering the commanding bridge. The question was more of rhetorical kind, since it was actually obvious. The reddish hue of his hair paled in comparison. Not, because his hair color changed, not, it was because his skin was almost glowing red.
„Sunburn“ he grimaced a bit.
„Why didn’t you take any sun blocker?“ she couldn’t hold back. She still looked at him in shock.
„Was empty“ he seemed grumpy, but who was she to judge? It hurt from looking alone.
„I have a fantastic lotion for sunburns. If you want, I’ll get it right away“ To her it was not a question of if he wanted it, but oh when.
„Please“ he sent her a relieved looks and held the door open for her.
His sunburn didn’t vanish immediately, but it got more bearable. She even had enough sunblocker to prevent worse during the remaining stay on the Sommer Isle.
Another day, another island, another incident. They continued their occasional training. But one day Elizabeth had the oh so glorious Idea to test how long she could hold against Drake‘s hybrid form - or if she didn’t have any chance at all. He asked repeatedly if she truly wanted to do this. But the last few days at sea had been rather boring, maybe it got to her head that she was under the impression to slowly improve.
It was remarkable, how the whole crew put it effortlessly to be busy on the main deck. Since Elizabeth sent everyone who was just gawking away, they got quite creative. Sure, the aptitude varied. It was news to her, that the shrouds had to be cleaned with a mop. But apparently nobody wanted to miss this out.
The warmup ended with a defeat for the Blonde - just as usual. But she wasn’t discouraged by that. She knew she was about to lose; it was just a question of how quick.
„Are you really sure, you want to do this?“ Drake seemed to still be reluctant.
„Yes, I want to experience hands-on, what a difference this makes“ Elizabeth rolled back her shoulders and precautiosly took some steps back. She was aware, this was about to be very unpleasant. She knew, Zoan-users got a boost in strength through the transformation. And she made a bit of research, devil fruit users of carnivores were said to be especially brutal, but she trusted he wouldn‘t truly harm her. She expected a few injuries, she wasn’t that naive. Why she still stood here and asked for a beating despite her usual aversion of fighting? She only saw him once in his Beast-Human-Form, and that was very short. She wanted to know how strong he truly was. It was always good to know, how strong the own side was. And she was a bit curios, how it looked. Sure, she could have just asked him to transform, she also wanted to see his full dinosaur form.  When he used it to avoid the swamp, she sadly wasn’t present. But asking him to do so seemed a bit invasive, so training was a good excuse, and brought the named advantages.
It seemed to be enough confirmation, for him to really transform. She already knew he got taller and partly green. but now she had the opportunity to fully observe it. The upper half of his head to the nose now bearded more resemblance to a saurian than a human, while his mouth and chin stayed normal. The back of his head and neck were covered with a crest out of several spikes - she didn’t know if they were made of bones or scales. Like the lower half of his face his front of his neck stayed more or less normal, disregarding the edges of skin and scales were flowing into each other his hands and arms were rather normal as well, at least as far as she could tell due to his suit. His legs on the other hand changed their shape and now looked more like those of the predator, at his feet she could see sharp claws. What she didn’t see the last time was the strong reptilian tail. She could tell why, but especially the latter two things of his actually more frightening appearance were somehow cute to her. And she really wanted to touch him. But that would be to much. patting her superior crossed to many borders way to far - on a professional and personal level.
„Last chance“ she appreciated it, that he gave her an opportunity to back out, know that she could see what she was up against.
She didn’t answer, instead she charged with forward facing halberd. A frontal attack was even under normal circumstances a dumb idea, so she swirled her weapon around and attacked his side. He blocked without much effort. A steep back gave her more room to move to parry his counterattack. The raw strength of the blow nearly made her fall over. Looking back that would have been the first sign to just surrender. But when she attacked with both of his weapons simultaneously and she only managed to block in the last second, she could feel her bones grind in the joints. She knew she would regret this dearly the next day. This would have been the second opportunity to just call it a day. but today Elizabeth saw her changes in being more agile than him and charged again. This time she sprinted past him to attack him from behind. She manganese to get behind him and while attacking she wondered, why he didn’t even try to turn around. She doubted he lost that much agility to the transformation. Was his allosaurus skin so much tougher, that he risked being stabbed in the back?
No. That wasn‘t it. She got the answer painfully served on a silver plate. Or more in shape of a dinosaur tail that wiped her of her feet without any struggle. She noticed her mistake when she soared through the air and crashed into the main mast. While she only hit it with her side and not with her head, it still got dark in front of her eyes. She heard a faint snapping noice and a scream, but she barely noticed it due to the immense pain radiating through her.
Before she even could try to stand up again she realized a few things:
The snapping sound wasn’t the mast.
The scream was hers.
Breathing hurt like hell.
Drake really had very blue eyes.
„Elizabeth, are you alright?“ over her hovered the now fully human and worried face of her captain.
she only managed a whimper. It hurt weather she breathed in or out, she didn’t have to waste her breath for an answer.
„You need to go to the sick bay“ he kneeled to her left and attempted to pick her up, but she raised a hand to stop him. If she managed to get up on her won, it was in her hand when it hurt, and how much. Much to her dismay she wasn’t even able to sit up on her own. Flexing her abdominal muscles hurt in her right ribcage and she took a sharp breath. Something that didn’t improve her pain. She bit her lip and closed her eyes. She had to manage somehow. Maybe it would help to just wait a moment. Until the pain subdued.
„This will hurt“ she barely had a second to react. She felt one of his arms beneath her legs, the other slid beneath her shoulders before a new wave of pain hit her. Despite her protest he lifted her up. Her previously closed eyes flew open and she gritted her teeth to stop the scream forming in her throat. Her uninjured side rested against his chest and he gripped her upper arm, to prevent causing her even more pain with holding the injured side. He seemed to make some effort not to worsen it, but the positioning its own wasn’t very comfortable.
The medics rushed ahead of them to the med bay, the oldest of them Moose, accompanied the two officers.
„Captain Drake, you shouldn‘t have picked her up immediately, we should have checked her first“ he sounded a bit scolding, when they arrived at the medias he added „lay her on her back, so we can do that now.“ 
„We should reach the next island tomorrow, but if we catch a good wind and sail through the night, she may manage to be there by daybreak. Can you keep up until then?“
„That sounds... as if… i have ... a choice“ she spoke quietly, because shallow breathing was easier, but still had to pause. 
„Captain Drake, you should either step aside or help“ Amber announced, armed with some scissors.
„You’re in good hands“ with that reassurance he left the sick bay.
„I‘m sorry for your blouse. It will get a bit cold“ with this warning the dark skinned medic started to cur through the garment. Of course she could have undressed, but moving caused her pain and amber later confessed that she really liked cutting through clothes.
„Do you feel pain anywhere else, except your right side?“ she asked, while she began to examine her from head to toe „the back of your neck? Your Back? No? Good. Does this feel the same on both sides?“ Elizabeth nodded, while Amber stroked over her hands „Lizzy, remember how much you like me“ Amber sounded apologetic. Why was she sorry? Elizabeth was confused, but not for long, until she felt amber pressing her thorax from above and the sides. Her scream most likely resounded through the whole ship. She really wanted to yell at her friend, but she didn’t have the strength to so so, the pain paralyzed her. The palpating of ehr abdomen and legs was comfortable in comparison and didn’t cause her any pain „So, can you wiggle your toes, do you feel this? The same on both sides?“ she had her boots removed as-well and patted her feet.
„Take a deep breath“ she told her superior while watching her closely.
Elizabeth send her friend a deadly stare, before she inhaled under pain.
„Don’t worry, Wombat is preparing the painkillers“ Amber had a Stethoskop out of nowhere „And now breath normal“
„Yes doctor“ she managed some sarcasm through the pain what else was she supposed to do? Stop breathing until the pain stopped? Tempting, but sadly impossible.
The addressed women grimaced „DOWN i look like I studied? If any of you assbutts says a word, you lie right beside her. How does breathing feel?“
„It hurts“
„But does it feel, as if you get enough air or do you feel out of breath?“
„Fine“
It was calming to see the medics still jested. As long as they did, it usually wasn’t severe. When they stopped talking nonsense, than it was time to worry.
„„If you like our torturer here, what will you think of me, relieving your pain?“ with a wide grin moose stepped in her line of sight 
„Very funny. Help me“ together they turned Elizabeth to her uninsured side and amber checked her back. When she was lying on her back again her friend started to question her again. „Do you feel weird anywhere or a tingle anywhere? Well, at least the Captain didn’t make it worse.“
„It gets a bit wet and cold, than there’s a sting, but nothing in comparison to her“
Moses disinfected a spot on her lower arm and grabbed an i.V. From the table.
„What our oh so funny friend didn’t mention is, she didn’t do it for fun, but to see if something is broken“ Wombat added from the back of the room, before joining them with a syringe. „And?“
„I‘m afraid at least one rip is broken. but I can’t tell more“ amber announced „But if it reassures you, usually broken rips aren’t treated, there’s not much to to but rest and wait. At least if there are no organs involved. So it isn’t to bad, that we aren’t near a hospital, since we don’t have anything to check for inner injuries, we‘ll keep a close eye on you.“
At least now she got a blanket to cover herself up.

Week 7- Spotify x OVO
With famous rapper Drake amassing 50 billion Spotify streams, streaming platform Spotify who are also current steak holders in the football club FC Barcelona teamed up to promote their significant event for the rapper by putting his iconic OVO symbol on the Barcelona Guernsey. The main leaders of this campaign are Spotify and their current number 1 streamed artist Drake. Drake heavily promoted this campaign via social media channel twitter and Instagram and fans seemed to enjoy the concept. The major tools in this social media campaign are images posted on social media channels by the popular artist Drake and one of the biggest clubs in the world being Barcelona, what made this campaign is due to the game which the Barcelona team featured the kit in which was the notable ‘El Classico’ against Real Madrid. This campaign was seen by many and shared by millions with the magnitude of this campaign substantial. Although this campaign was overly successful in interactions, there was of course die-hard football supporters of Barcelona who felt as though the club were used for promotion rather than to just play football. Although this coconscious was a point of discussion, the overall idea was perceived well by many and in particular a target audience of a younger generation.

This just a thought but imagine Law, Hawkins and X-Drake in a Sora, Warrior of the Sea trivia competition. Literal blood might be spilt but it would be one hell of a thing to watch these notorious pirates let out their geek side and take it waaaay too seriously.

I Think We've Got Chemis-tree (Part 3: Sniffles and Small Talk)
(Sam Drake x F!Reader miniseries)
A/N: Here’s the third part of my little festive series...There’s probably only going to be one or two more chapters, depending on how efficiently I manage to write it lolol. This one’s a bit rushed, but i’m over it.
Enjoy! <3 [also available on ao3]
Part 1: Candle Store | Part 2: Flu | Part 4: New Year, New Us?
Summary: Still recovering from your mutual illness, the pair of you decide to watch a festive film as suggested by Sam. You end up chatting more than watching the movie, leaving a few interesting thoughts floating around.
Word count: 1.2k | Warnings: None, apart from usual swearing
Three: Sniffles and Small Talk
“Here ya go.”
“Thanking you.” You sniff with a lazy smile, taking a steaming mug of tea from Sam.
You push yourself up with an elbow, holding the mug close to your face so the steam decongests your nose.
“What bit are we on now?” Says Sam, sitting beside you on his couch.
You take a small sip, scalding your tongue - a small compromise for how good it made your throat feel. 
You swallow the tea, contorting your face at the temperature before you reply. “They’ve just snuck into Alexandra Palace. They’re ice skating- or at least, he is, and she’s trying to.”
The pair of you watch the TV screen as Sam sinks back into the couch, getting comfortable. He brings you towards him with an arm around your shoulder so you’re resting on his side. You swish the blanket wrapped around you so that it goes over his knee.
“When I asked for a Christmas movie suggestion, this was the last thing I thought you’d choose, to be honest.” You speak, taking another sip of your tea. “Would’ve taken you for more of a ‘Die Hard’ kind of guy.”
You would be more inclined to understand Sam’s choice if it was more of a classic festive film, but 2019’s ‘Last Christmas’? The sappy romantic comedy featuring a load of Wham! songs? Certainly not.
Sam laughs through his nose. “Well, firstly, ‘Die Hard’ isn’t a Christmas movie, and second-”
“Hmm, I beg to differ.”
“Shush. Secondly, underneath my rugged, strong exterior,” his joke-boastfulness draws a chuckle from you, “I have a soft spot for rom-coms. Fills a gap, so to speak.”
Fills a gap? “Fair enough.” You continue, smiling in thought as Sam looks down at you. He resumes his viewing of the TV, absent-mindedly stroking his thumb over your shoulder.
“Plus, and I’ll admit this only to you, I’m a bit of a ‘Wham!’ fan.”
“What?” You giggle. “Now that is hard to believe. You’re telling me you, like, shower to ‘Wake me up before you go-go’ or something?”
He nods, furrowing his eyebrows as he looks up to the ceiling in thought. “Oh, yeah. ‘Club Tropicana’ when I’m getting dressed. ‘I’m Your Man’ is great when you’re on a run, too.”
You snigger at the thought. “I…I can’t tell if you’re being serious or not.”
“I guess it’ll remain a mystery forever.” He grins down at you.
Your shoulders shake with laughter, which progresses into a cough. You sit up, and Sam takes the mug out of your hands to prevent you from spilling it, with a sympathetic grimace, before he begins to pat your back.
Your cough settles down and you flop back onto the couch.
“Ugh.”
“Ugh indeed.” Sam responds with a sniffle. He’s still a little nasally, though far better than you are; hence for the past two days he’s had you holed up in his apartment together to recover. “Sorry, sweetheart. It’s my fault.”
“Yeah it is.” You grumble with a sniff, though you’re not serious. You take your tea back from Sam and take another swig. “Nah,” You swallow, “Someone needed to take care of your incompetent ass, and I knew there was the risk that I’d catch something from you, so really it’s my fault.”
“Incompetent?” He questions, hand raised to his chest in feigned upset. He scoots himself around, hanging his legs off of the arm of the couch, laying his head onto your lap. “It’s almost as if I’ve not been making you world-class cups of tea every other hour for the past few days.”
You laugh. “It’s good tea, I suppose.”
The pair of you sit in a comfortable silence for a few minutes, watching the movie. Looking down at Sam, you notice a twitch on his lips; a warm smile forms as he watches the main character, Katarina, make in idiot of herself on the ice rink.
“When you’re better, I’m gonna take you skating.” Sam says, eyes still glued to the screen.
“Pfft. No chance.” You reply, looking at him. “You ever seen Bambi?”
Sam chuckles knowingly.
“Yeah, well he’s olympic standard compared to me. I don’t think I could deal with that kind of embarrassment. Or broken limbs.”
He turns his head to look up at you.
“So do I get to add ice skating to the very short list of things that I’m better than you at?”
You smile, unsure of what he means. “Short? That’s got to be a pretty long list, surely?”
Sam wets his lower lip. “So far, there’s;” He holds up a thumb, “ice skating, quiz shows, playing the guitar, reaching high up things, being miserable, and... dressing badly.” You scrunch your face up as he adds up on his hand.
“Bullshit. I dress almost as bad as you most of the time.”
He snickers. You continue.
“Any physical activity is something you’re infinitely better at-”
“Oooh, any?” He wriggles his eyebrows suggestively. You jostle your legs to shake him for interrupting. Ass.
“Gross. Anyway, you’re also far more intelligent than I’ll ever be, aaaand…” You pause to think. “Oh yeah. You can flirt your way out of any situation, which annoys the fuck out of me. Why can’t you face the consequences of your actions like the rest of us?”
He shrugs with a half-smile. “Can’t help being drop-dead gorgeous.”
You shake your head as he turns back to the screen. You drink your tea. Fair play, Samuel.
Sam watches the main characters share an embrace, and he sniffs. Oddly, he doesn’t feel too upset. Sure, he misses the intimacy and contact of his ex, but at this very moment he’s content enough not to have his mind drift into a rift of jealousy-fuelled misery.
“They’re cute.” He hears you murmur, and he can’t help but smile and nod in response.
“Mm.” He mutters, turning his head ever so slightly. His eyes turn you as you’re completely absorbed by the TV. He takes a deep breath, revelling in the amount of comfort he’s feeling.
He wants to say something. Some sort of expression of gratefulness for your constant companionship, or a ‘thank you’, for being there for him over the past few weeks. 
He appreciates everything you do and have done for him, but deep down he’s worried that he’s giving you nothing in return. 
He struggles with words at the best of times, but for some reason, right now he’s struggling to come up with something to say to you without coming across as too...well, sappy.
Fuck it, maybe he should just straight up tell you that he-
“Whatcha thinking about?” You sniff, looking at Sam who looks caught in some sort of intense daydream.
His eyes snap back into focus and make contact with yours. “N-Nothing.” He says, clearing his throat. His eyes flicker around, before they settle back on you again. You’re confused as he bites his lip.
“You look like Rudolph.” He finally says.
Nice save, He thinks.
“Huh?” You ask in surprise.
Sam smiles and pokes your nose. “Your nose is all red.”
You scrunch your face up, trying to look at your sore nose, which obviously doesn’t work.
“Whatever. At least I don’t sound like a duck.”
He laughs, turning back to the movie.
“Well, this duck and reindeer dynamic duo need to hurry up and get better so they don’t miss their upcoming New Year’s Eve party.”
“Oh god, I forgot about that. You think Elena will mind if I don’t make it?” You say.
"Yeah. She loves you. Besides, we'll both be good by then. Which would mean that I couuuld actually have my bed back."
"Hey! I said I was more than happy on the couch."
"I know, I know. Joking." He smiles, watching the film again.
“Hey, Sam.” You say, looking at your mug after a few beats.
“Hmm?”
You smile cheekily. “My tea’s cold.”
