Week in Review | Oct. 29 aka The SNL Week

Hi there! Just a week ago I woke up to see the Pedroverse exploding about his appearance on SNL. What a week, it all feels like a bit of a blur. I’m so happy I have my pocket friends here so I can scream into the void about this man. Although, after this week I’m not sure how we are going to fare come Gladiator 2 time … at least we’ll have time to prepare for that versus getting caught off guard, right? What do you think P?

For those who celebrate Halloween, I hope you’ve had a safe and fun weekend. Mr. Rhoorl and I are returning to Halloween Horror Nights for the last time tonight! I still can’t believe how much I’ve enjoyed going to the event this year. Goes to show that sometimes doing something out of your comfort zone may be worth the try!

Along we go with the week in review:

Fics I Read This Week:

Frankie Morales

Hinterland by @legendary-pink-dot - Even half asleep Frankie is a menace.

Javier Peña

Pent Up by @ramblers-lets-get-ramblin - Ohhhh boy. My brain kind of short-circuited with this one.

Marcus Pike

Kinktober prompt from @absurdthirst - I’m fully entrenched in the Pike Puddle and fics like this keep me in.

Joel Miller

Cocoon and Bubble by @secretelephanttattoo - Both of these are absolutely beautiful and I feel so much intimacy between these two even without much dialogue. So well done!

Witches by @trulybetty - Betty’s entire Autumnal Offerings series has been so fantastic and I look forward to each day’s prompt. But this one … this Joel makes me a particular brand of feral.

Dieter Bravo

In Fiction by @sin-djarin - I’m all about Dieter, especially a soft Dieter, so this was right up my alley.

Broadcasting Live Tonight by @morallyinept - This is 🔥🔥 and Jett captures Dieter so well!

Dave York

The Wolf & The Lamb by @morallyinept - I love Jett’s giflets and this was so good!

Current Compulsory Series:

These are series I am keeping up with at the moment. I’m still behind on some and hope to fix that this week!

The Pilot and His Girl (Frankie) by @avastrasposts - Mel - I am reading that final chapter this week if it’s the last thing I do!

Delta Palms Tropical Resort (Frankie) by @linzels-blog

I Like the Way You (Frankie) by @undercoverpena

Destiny & Deliverance (Dieter) by @mysterious-moonstruck-musings

Paranoid Heat (Javi P) by @goodwithcheese

It’s Never Too Late (Javi P) by @javierpena-inatacvest

Visiting (Mr. Ben) by @ladamedusoif

Posts From the Week:

@wildemaven has been posting the most amazing mood boards! I particularly swooned over this one of Dieter hosting SNL and Pizza and Cards Night with the TF boys. 😍

On the heels of the SNL appearance, @morallyinept added more to her Pedro Boys Cocktails with a SNL edition. These are so funny and clever. Side note, happy birthday (and 1k followers too?! Amazing you deserve it all)! To celebrate, she gave us a gift by way of two one-shots which I'm adding to my list for this week!

Feral Corner:

SNL - that’s it. That’s the content for Feral Corner this week.

But seriously, these gifs have been living rent-free in my mind. Also, there was a photo of Pedro that I saw in gray sweatpants that made me lose my goddamn mind aka change the name of my blog from Joel’s Gray Sweatpants to Pedro’s Gray Sweatpants. Because that's a rational response, right?! 😆 I’m also convinced that I manifested his choice of attire into existence and you can’t tell me any different! Let me have this!

My week wasn’t all dominated by Pedro, as hard as that may seem. Garrett/Benny was up in there too. This recent post has solidified the idea that I need to add a bowling scene to Delta Landscaping at some point. Garrett apparently has a song coming out on Friday, so expect me to be obnoxious about it when it drops.

Things I Watched:

I have just a couple of days left to do my annual rewatch of Hocus Pocus. I have been wearing my Sanderson Sisters shirt throughout the month, though.

I didn’t go to the movies this week, but Mr. Rhoorl went and saw Five Night at Freddy’s. He’s never played the game and knows just the basics about the lore, but he thought it was fine.

We did introduce Baby Rhoorl to The Nightmare Before Christmas this week (quick poll - do you consider that a Halloween movie or a Christmas movie?). She was interested in it for as long as a two-year-old can be interested in something.

Personal Stuff

This week I started a bit of a health journey, which has been going pretty well so far. Things were a bit crazy at work as we launched a really big project. Baby Rhoorl also attend a birthday party for a friend - her first one! Being around that many small children was … a lot. I left super overstimulated and I am continually in awe of teachers and caregivers who do that day in and day out.

I’m looking forward to some Halloween fun this week, starting with HHN tonight (goodbye Joel, we had a good run). Baby Rhoorl’s school is doing a Trunk or Treat event - a concept I never knew existed until last year. And Tuesday my entire office is dressing up for Halloween. The floor I’m on picked Halloween movies as our theme, and my team decided on the Addam’s Family. Yay for corporate Halloween fun 🙃 although it does make for some pretty funny meetings.

I can’t believe we are staring November in the face! Mr. Rhoorl and I have plans to see a concert in November, which I’m really excited about - Ice Nine Kills and In This Moment. We’ve seen both of these bands before, but I’m looking forward to watching them again!

Fic Updates:

This past week I got a chapter of Working Title out - with a fun cameo. 😉 Chapter 16 has been done for about a week but I've been sitting on it, rereading. Fair warning, the cameos aren’t done. Also, we finally get some smut…yay! Hopefully, those who have been reading will find it worth the wait. 🫣 I will get it out this week, I'm thinking maybe Wednesday?

Delta Landscaping Chapter 9 is coming along. It takes me a lot longer to write that series since there’s so many characters to keep track of (and I am writing it as I go). So apologies for the delay.

I have a couple of one-shots in the works, but I will likely post a Benny one this week, maybe for Miller Monday? I originally planned on doing a little Halloween one-shot, but the month got away from me 🫤

Thanks for making it this far! I hope something makes you smile this week. 🙂 My inbox is always open if you want to say hi!

January 2024 reading wrap-up

If you’ll notice, I read very few books this month (especially compared to December, but even compared to my usual 6 books minimum a month). I am currently in the throes and insanity of first love, so I might not read much for the first few months of this year. I do miss reading, but how am I supposed to fall in love with book men when I have a gorgeous, sweet man right in front of me?

Books read ˋ°•*⁀➷ 4

Books DNFed ˋ°•*⁀➷ 0

Five-star books ˋ°•*⁀➷ 4

Fourth Wing (reread) - Rebecca Yarros

January 11th, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’ve been anticipating this reread for a while. I couldn’t wait to be re-immersed in the world and see how differently the book read after reading Iron Flame. I was not disappointed, and in fact, I gave this book a higher star rating than I did on my first read. This world is very easy to get obsessed with and immersed in, and I still love Violet’s character so much. Rereading this book also made me appreciate Xaden’s intimidating front so much more than I did originally. I was able to fully sink into the present in the book instead of worry about what was coming, and I really enjoyed it.

Rereading the end of this book made me realize that most of the issues people complain about “popping up” in the second book (aka Violet and Xaden arguing) actually started at the end of the first book pretty much as soon as they got into a relationship. This shifted my perspective of the second book quite a bit, honestly. This was also the first book I tabbed as I read as well, so it was a new and fun experience for me. I can’t wait to read the next book.

The Lightning Thief - Rick Riordan

January 21st, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So, fun fact: this was my best friend’s favorite series when we were in elementary and middle school, but I had serious anxiety as a kid and couldn’t read anything more tense than Amelia Bedilia until I was about thirteen. I tried reading this series about four years ago but it kind of bored me? Reading it now, I’m completely unsure why, but I digress. Me and my brothers are watching the show, and being in my reading era, I decided I wanted to read the books too, and now the four of us are reading the books together as well 😆

This book was so much fun. Percy’s inner monologue took a little bit of time to get used to since I’m used to reading books from the perspective of teenage girls and adult women, but he was a very fun character to follow. I’ve always loved Greek Mythology, so getting to read a modern book with the gods was very intriguing. I thought the world was very immersive and the characters were fun. I can’t wait to see how this story progresses over the next few books.

On a side note: I can’t imagine Percy as anything other than Walker with his curly blond hair and blue eyes. Annabeth was a bit harder since Percy describes her so often in the books, but she’s kind of just a blurry haze in my head 😂

The Sea of Monsters - Rick Riordan

January 24th, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you’d told me I was going to be eating up a middle grade book series this year, I’d have laughed in your face. This book was so good. Tyson has to be my favorite character in the whole series so far. He’s so adorable 😭

This book, like most middle grade books, was slightly predictable. It doesn’t help that I’ve gotten probably at least one spoiler for each book, but that didn’t make the reading of it any less fun. Percy and Annabeth’s relationship is progressing a bit, and I love to see it. They trust each other a bit more in each book.

One thing I really loved about this book is that it was only 280 pages 😆 I needed a short read tonight that I could wrap up before I went to bed, and this delivered! I’m chomping at the bit to read the next book, but alas, it’s still on hold at the library. I’ll get my hands on it soon enough…

Destroy the Day - Brigid Kenmerer

January 29th, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was everything and more I wanted out of a final book in this series…I mean…COME ON! For one, I LOVE Harristan, and we got a whole lot more of him in this book. I was eating those chapters UP!

Corrick and Lochlan had a lovely bonding in this book after being at odds with each other for the entire series, so that was nice! I really appreciate that they were able to get over their hatred for each other eventually and become really close friends 😭 the last chapter with them at the end is so near and dear to my heart, you don’t understand.

I won’t get into the nitty gritty of this plot because that was on the back burner in this story. What I LOVED about this book was the romance Harristan got. He and the person he ended up with were two characters I had been hoping something would happen between for a while and then out of nowhere - it happened! I squealed when they kissed for the first time. I’m so glad they got their happily ever after because that is truly all I ever wanted for them <3

I love this book. Read this series, I promise it’s good.

so **shuffles feet** @cowandcalf and @stephmcx tagged me way back when Tarquinus was still king. In my defense, it was summer and I was summering. (estivation really should be a hobby. just saying)

Five fic recs of my own personal fics (under the cut ‘cuz I got long-winded)

note 1: All of my fic is on Dreamwidth, some of it has been cross-posted to A03.

Click for lists-> Masterpost of A03 fics Masterpost of all my fic

note 2: My dreamwidth account is friend-locked, but you can drop me a DM if you need an invite.

note 3: fic titles are clickable links. The USDA recommends consuming a minimum three fanfics a day in order to stay properly hydrated.

O-Ate-Four

Addams Family and Avengers 530 words

pairing: none, gen

Why I wrote It: Because my muse is a seductive temptress. And also because I’m convinced the Addams family has to exist in the same world where **checks notes** people fight aliens with pointy sticks.

Why you should read it: Natasha, Wednesday, French cemetery. Come on, what else do you need for a perfect Halloween fic?

Talking about pointy sticks, I may have written an entire fic where Hawkeye renovates a cabin. My ability to write truly riveting plots is… questionable😜

Operation: Cupcakes 1,427 words

pairing: Steve McGarrett/Danny Williams but gen

Why I wrote it: Because the only thing better than writing about cupcakes is writing about red velvet cupcakes. No really, thats the plot. Did I mention my riveting plots?😆

Why you should read it: Because there is a serious dearth of McDanno baking fics. And because there are red velvet cupcakes.

Beam Me Up, Danno

Hawaii Five-0 42,995 (including sequel)

Why I wrote it: Either this was a whumptober fic that got out of hand—or my muse tied me up and threatened to put a Ceti eel in my ear if I didn’t write it. Take your pick.

Why you should read it: Because the world needs a Hawaii Five-0 Star Trek AU? Also, there is Cardassian poetry, diplomatic javelining, and aliens that love butter pecan ice cream.

Yes, this is my second ‘Hawaii Five-0 in space’ AU, and I’m totally done writing about aliens. **hides my Hawaii Five-0 MIB wip behind my back**

Care and Feeding of a Super Seal

Hawaii Five-0 59,934 words

pairing: Steve McGarrett/Danny Williams

Why I wrote it: This is my coda for the Hawaii Five 0 finale and all @cowandcalf’s fault. My muse agreed with all her points in this meta she wrote and… stuff happened. Also, I was obsessing thinking in a very normal fashion about how the ohana deserved better, too.

Why you should read it: I did my best to explain the ending, various plot holes the size of an spider crab, and a few other things that have bugged fans over the years. There’s also Steve!whump, some badass!Danny, and a generous sprinkling of ohana. Most importantly, the boys talk about diving, and get their happy ever after.

Beasts and Outlaws note: this fic is only on dreamwidth

Supernatural 145, 622 words

pairing: Dean Winchester/OMC

Why I wrote it: I’ve always wanted a paranormal fic that felt like it was set in the southwest, so I decided to write one cleverly disguised as a Supernatural AU.

Why you should read it: Where else are you going to get a fic with nagueles, rain gods, and the FBI? Also, Old Man Coyote makes a random appearance and Dean’s in love with a were-cougar.

And yes, I wrote a Hawaii Five-0 AU where I turned Chin into a were-leopard but its totally not the same thing😂

20 Questions

I was tagged by my wonderful friends @novantinuum and @wanderingnightingale to participate in this ask game! thanks for the tags 🥹🥹

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

The number says 81 but that’s because I have a series version of aftermath from when it was supposed to be just loosely connected one-shots, before it spiraled into the monster it became. I kept it up along with the chapter-by-chapter version because I had people following along with the story that way, and I didn’t want to get rid of my very first comments on ao3 by deleting them.

Taking those out of the equation, I only have 29 🤣

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

With the series version of aftermath, 486,278. Without it, 380,218. Either way, holy shit.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

My main one is the Legend of Zelda, obviously, but I also dabble in Attack on Titan, Chainsaw Man, Jujutsu Kaisen (wips only rn lmao), Final Fantasy XVI, and even Batman!

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

1. cost of living (747)

2. aftermath (716)

3. that parting need not last forever (it’s dangerous to go alone) (605)

4. with every drop of rain singin’ (450)

5. trying (358)

these numbers are crazy to me I haven’t looked at my stats in FOREVER!

the fifth one, “trying”, is so funny to me because it’s technically chapter five of “aftermath”, coming from the series version way back in 2020 when I was only in my sixth day of writing fanfic. I don’t know what possessed me back then that I was able to write five chapters in six days (possibly the small word counts and my freshman year of college being zoom university LOL) but I did it!

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yes, though I never really say much other than a “thank you for reading and commenting!”

I sometimes wish I could be like other authors and spark conversations in my responses, but I never know what to say other than the thank yous! I’m much more verbose in dms/discord servers 😂

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

either my newest zelda fic, avatar, or a thing that doesn’t change with time.

immortal beedle is weird, thoughc because it’s not angsty in the sense that it’s all that sad, it’s angsty because of the Implications.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

this is a tough one, because so many have happy endings! I think the happiest is tied between my post-totk fic, something borrowed, and with every drop of rain singin’, where link rescues zelda from the calamity but she has amnesia after.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I’ve only ever gotten three instances of it, but one of those times was someone connecting evil zelink to communism and covid vaccines for some strange reason?? I still don’t know what the hell that was about 💀

I tend to just delete any “hate” comments from my inbox but keep them on the fic itself (except for the communism person because what, though I have them screenshotted to laugh at because it’s so bizarre), because I don’t like to erase what anyone’s said.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I do! It tends to be on the, uh, rougher side, because I’ve grown tired of soft fluffy lovemaking in fics, but when it needs to be soft and sweet I can do that as well 😆 the only instance where I’ve written smut with the intention of not being sexy is my chainsaw man fic, ignorance is bliss, where it’s more of a warning sign about the relationship as the fic progresses.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

I don’t write any crossovers! I haven’t felt the inspiration to, and I don’t even know what I would crossover in the first place.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Again, not to my knowledge, but if someone would want to translate any of my fics I would just like them to ask for permission! They’d definitely get it 😂

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No, but I would like to at some point! It’s been a while since I’ve done collaborative writing, but when I did do it as a writing exercise it was fun.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

In terms of fic writing, zelink of course. In terms of reading, I’ve been on a satosugu (a jujutsu kaisen ship) kick lately thanks to, um, Recent Events in both the anime and the manga. if you know you know 😭

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

god I hate to say I’ll never finish something but honestly it’s either “a memory of younger days” or “faded into legend”.

I haven’t thought about either of those fics in soooooo long, and part of me wants to take them down but another part of me has hope that one day I’ll get the spark for them again. the aftermath cinematic universe series as a whole is something im constantly rotating in my brain and adding little things to, but it takes so much of my brainpower that I need a Break from it for a bit 😂

but I will finish the Urbosa fic. that’s a promise to myself, because I do love it so so much.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I always get comments about my dialogue and characterization, and I always enjoy those parts of writing, so those!

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I cannot describe a setting to save my life 💀

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I would love to, but I only speak English! If I could do it properly without relying on something like Google Translate I would do it in a heartbeat.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

The Legend of Zelda!

20. Favorite fic you've ever written?

GOD that’s hard. I really love all of my fics, but I got a comment on with every drop of rain singin’ last night which made me reread the whole thing, and something about the Emotion and pure Vibes that fic has still gets me sometimes, because the whole thing was inspired by Pink In The Night by Mitski. a bookmark on it says “gets sappy quick” and it’s the truth, because I really did just have link think about his love for a zelda that doesn’t know who he is for 33k.

Now that we’re five episodes into Tokyo Mew Mew New, I have a few thoughts I wanted to get out there, and no, they are not all about Ryou (but he is staying rent free in my mind 😆). The first thing I’m going to say (because I’m going to have to admit it eventually), I’m really liking the “new” Aoyama; I put “new” in quotes because he’s not really new, they just made the more subtle parts of his personality more prominent this time around, and I really like that.

He’s actually showing that he’s just as nervous and awkward as Ichigo, and I think it makes them more appealing as a couple; like I’ve said before, I also really like that their initial attraction to each other isn’t based on shallow features, like it was in old anime and even the manga.

Now, that doesn’t mean I’ve switched to team Ichiyama, I’m still hopelessly rooting for my boy Ryou (team ichiryou!), and speaking of Ryou and Ichigo, I’m so happy we got the rice ball scene!

😭 Keep giving me false hope, please! I also noticed there’s a bit of a pattern to the “triangle;” episode 1 focused on Ichigo and Aoyama, episode 2 switched to Ichigo and Ryou, episode 3 we went back to Ichigo and Aoyama, and then it switched again to Ichigo and Ryou for episode 4. 5 kind of gypped both boys, but we got see my new love, Seiji! ❤️ He is everything I’ve ever wanted in Minto’s brother.

Speaking of episode 5, let’s just talk about that for second.

First of all, Minto, while I totally get where you are coming from, it sucks when no one wants to listen to what you have to say, but you are in high school, which, in fact, means you are still a child. I was you, girl, I thought I was “grown up” in high school, but let me tell you, you are not, you are a child, when you actually grow up and become an actual adult, your parents and your brother will start treating you like one (trust me, this phase will pass). I’m a little disappointed we didn’t get a more detailed account of Minto becoming a Mew, but maybe that will come later (I hope).

Also, it’s a bit concerning that Minto literally agreed to work with Ryou and Keiichiro just because they said they “needed” her, and she was like, “no one’s ever said that to me before!” Umm, Minto, you don’t know these guys, you can’t just go giving your life away because they say they “need you.” I love my boys Ryou and Keiichiro, but Minto, have some better judgement, girl. I know Minto is trying to “prove herself,” but I have a feeling that’s going to blow up in her face.

Which brings me to my theory for the next episode. I’m assuming this will be the episode when Zakuro finally joins the team, and if we’re following the manga, it’s also when Ichigo uses the StrawBell Bell Version Up.

So let’s look at this from Minto’s perspective: you’re supposed to be the leader, you want to be the leader, but someone else gets the upgraded weapon, instead of you.... (The only thing that will soften that blow is Zakuro agreeing to join the team 😆) Something tells me once Ichigo uses the stronger weapon, that’s when the hierarchy will change, and Ichigo will be pushed as the leader.

Finally, the subject I’ve been putting off because it is possibly the most controversial: Quiche. Now, Quiche is a character that had a lot of potential in the original series (anime and manga), he had a lot of room to grow as a character, but then he.... didn’t. 😒 This new Quiche... well he’s bad and he likes it 😆 and honestly, I like him better as a character this way.

There’s not a lot of ambiguity, and it’s made very obvious that he is not good for Ichigo (and he’s only been in 3 episodes so far!). Something tells me there’s not going to be a lot of new QuichexIchigo shippers; what I mean is, new fans that this is their first exposure to TMM won’t be seeing Quiche as a good fit for Ichigo because it’s made very obvious that he does not care about her at all. (Then again, Quiche seems to have some kind of way with certain fan girls, so he might wrangle in some new ones 😅 something about the crop top, green hair, or the pointy ears 🤔).

One more thing, can I just say I love the word choice in this scene:

😆 If there is ever an English dub for this, can we please use these exact words! Ryou, you rascal 😆😂🤣

Mr. almost-eight-times-world-champion. (4)

Credits for the gif to @l8tof1 !!!

Read the previous parts here!!: part 1 - part 2 - part 3

Summary: Yn is Angela’s daughter 👩‍👧, performance coach of Lewis Hamilton 🏋🏽. Let’s just say her relationship with the driver wasn’t as good as her mum’s 🙃. But there’s nothing a keener in the mountains 🏔 can’t fix, right?

Warnings: enemies to friends (?) 🙅🏼‍♀️/ 👩🏼‍❤️‍👨🏾, memories of Abu Dhabi 💔. YN and Lewis being mean 🙄 but Roscoe being cute 🥰. sorry before hand for the mistakes I might have done!! English is not my first language🙊! Also, this is suppose to be a three part story 3️⃣ !! I’m actually going to write two more chapters, so five part story 😆5️⃣

Word count: 4 K.

Enjoy!! 😘

“Night Angela” Lewis said and got up too, following your mum with her phone in his hands.

“You’re leaving too?!” You asked from the couch watching him leave.

“Nope. I’m going to look for the cables to watch in on the tv” he smirked at your furrowed eyebrows, but you didn’t say anything, instead you focused on the dog laying next to you. And thinking of Roscoe led you to think that he was always hungry and so you thought of food, getting up to get some late snacks. But don’t get too exited, snacks in the house of your mum consisted on carrots and hummus, thank God there were still some wine left from lunch. When you got to the living room you tuned off some lights, just to make the atmosphere more homely, perfect to remember an old video “I thought you weren’t coming back and it was just another joke of yours” you smiled watching him finally get in trying to untangle a cable while he sat on the sofa, Roscoe was the only barrier between you two. “Let me” you said taking the cables out of his hands to untangle it yourself without giving him the chance to fight back.

“I thought we agreed on starting all over again, YN, leaving the jokes behind” he rolled his eyes back “Are you trying to get me drunk?” He pointed at the bottle of wine and the glasses on the coffee table.

“I’m trying to get myself drunk Lewis, which is a different thing” you got up to plug the cable to the TV, hearing his chuckles from behind and the sound of the wine being poured into the glasses. But when you turned around you caught him “you’re staring at my arse again, Lewis” you laughed watching him grow shy “It’s okay, I’ve been working really hard on it. You can ask my mum”.

“Well in that case, you have beautiful arse” he said completely taken aback by the confidence his comment showed.

“Well thank you so much” you rapidly said as you headed back to the couch, not wanting to overthink his words.

“Ready??” He excitedly asked taking the control remote in his hands. You just nodded and he pressed play.

Silverstone, 2015. You could read on the left side of the video.

“Hi!!!!” A most younger you talked to the camera.

“Oh God” you blushed covering your face with your hands, already dying form embarrassment.

“No no no, watch it!” Lewis laughed grabbing your hands to take them out of your face. He held your hands for a little bit longer that necessarily, but neither of you realized, maybe because you were too caught up in the video or just because it felt right, not awkward or forced.

“Are you ready, YN” Lewis appeared out pf nowhere behind you.

“Look at your hair!” you laughed pointing at the TV, only then letting go of his hand “Why would you think that was a good idea?”

“It was in vogue!” He shouted annoyed. It just made you laugh harder, he got angry so easily.

"Well, come on, we’ll take that car” he pointed at a black Mercedes, throwing his arm around your shoulder in a friendly way as you smiled back at him. “I promise I’ll drive slow” he talked looking back the camera, where your mum was.

“That was the moment you fucked up” you looked at him, who smile at your comment with his eyes focused on the video.

“It was your fault to think an F1 driver was going to go slow. With a fast car and in a circuit, come on YN, I thought you were smarter” he laughed while you just shook your head in disbelief.

“Take care you two!” your mum yelled from behind the camera. She kept the camera focused on the sports car until it disappear in the circuit after the first corner, at at higher speed Lewis promised.

“I was probably shouting at you at that moment” you laughed with your eyes still focused on the TV, thought you couldn’t even see the car anymore.

“You started hitting my arm! I was the one shouting you to stop doing that while I was driving!” He yelled between laughs “I drove slower in the last corner anyways. Look” he pointed at the TV, where the Mercedes appeared at a much slower pace.

“I think I want to throw up” were the first words you pronounced after exiting the car with Lewis following behind.

That was probably the first time you looked at him with that hate in your eyes.

“That was the first time you looked at me like that” the driver confirmed looking at you once the video ended.

“It wouldn’t definitely be the last” you said moving your head to look at him too “I should’ve vomit inside the car, on you”

“Eww, that’s disgusting, YN” he bended to take his glass of wine, offering yours to you too. You took it, drink and kept on talking.

“I think lying is more disgusting” you pointed out.

“It was just a little white lie”

“But a lie anyways” you shrugged leaving the glass on the coffee table and focusing on the dog, who was peaceful snoring between you and Lewis.

“Well I’m sorry. If it makes any difference, that was the only time I lied to you”

“You lied to me this morning when you said you weren’t looking at my arse!” You laughed looking at him, who chuckled nervously like making you laugh more. “It’s okay. I forgive you” you said patting his leg in a completely innocent wayz.

“Good” he smiled keeping his gaze focused on the hand in his leg. “What do we do now?” He asked leaning comfortable on the couch. “Drink that” you pointed to the glass of wine, finally removing your hand from his leg and only then realising your touch. Silence took over the place, only being interrupted by sips on the glasses of wine and Roscoe’s snores.

“My head still hurts from the hit of this evening” the driver broke the silence and you almost choked with your wine remembering that funny moment.

“Let me see” you moved a little closer to him, your body was already touching Roscoe’s but the dog didn’t even seem to noticed. You changed the glass of wine to your left hand, and lifted your right to the back of his head, where he hit it before. “Does it hurt?”

“A little” he hissed when you made pressure in his skin.

“Let me go get some painkillers before it gets worse or you won’t sleep tonight “ you were about to get up, but his voice and touch on your hand stoped you.

“Don’t. I’m alright, it doesn’t hurt that much” he reassurance you.

“Well, alright. But don’t wake me up with your groaning at night if it hurts. Or Roscoe”

“Trust me, nothing can wake Roscoe up” both of you chuckled with that comment, but it was totally true. If his own scores couldn’t wake him up nothing could.

“He’s such a good boy” you said caressing his soft fur with a gentle and slow hand.

“Just like his owner” Lewis proudly said as he looked down at his dog too, only raising his yes when he finished pronouncing that words. You were already looking at him, with a curious look in your eyes that made him giggled. “It’s true!” he added “Dogs look like their owners!” And that got you thinking if he really looked like Roscoe. They definitely weren’t similar by their looks, by their physical appearance. Maybe the way of acting, the way of thinking if dogs ever thought.

“Do you snores at nights too?” You asked out of the sudden keeping eye contact with him.

“Sometimes” he smirked without any kind of complexes, earning a laugh from you. Good to know, wasn’t it?

“Do you have a tattoo of him? Somewhere among so many?” you laughed as he looked for the drawing in his own skin, not even remembering himself.

“I think I don’t” he sounded surprised and you were too. So may tattoos in his skin and neither of his dog. “And what are you planning to get tattooed??? You said before you wanted a new one”

“A giraffe” you said without hesitation as you kept your gaze on him, who seemed surprised by your answer. “And I want it here” you pointed to the back of your head, in the nape.

“That place hurts kinda bad too”

“I know” you shrugged “but it’s pretty isn’t it?”

“Yeah, it is sexy” he said immediately regretting it as you asked about pretty, not about sexy. But damn, it really was “And it’s a place you can’t see, you you won’t get tired of it. Plus you can hide it with your hair or t shirts or whatever” he tried to make you forget his comment and he did. Who would have told you a few days ago you were going to be listening to Lewis’s advices and actually noting them dow? “And can I ask you why a giraffe??” He asked looking really interested.

“Oooh, you don’t want to get there” a happy smile that you couldn’t really controlled formed in your lips, anticipating him how much you loved that animal or at least that topic.

“Yeah I want. Why?” He asked again.

“Well” you moved to face him crossing your legs under your boyd, accidentally hitting the dog, who moved to the corner of the couch. “They’re my favourite animal. No offense” you said looking to the poor dog who just wanting a peaceful sleep. “Have you seen their little horns? And the elegance of their looooong neck. They are just a wonder of nature” you kept on talking looking at Lewis but not really watching his smile, infected by yours “Also” you placed your hand on Lewis’s leg again, this time completely voluntary as you just wanted to gain his attention, though it wasn’t necessarily, he was already focused on you “they are the most peaceful animals in the savannah, but sooo fast. They can run up to 35 mph, which is really fast if you ask me!” You excitedly talked as if you were a little girl explaining to an ignorant adult your favorite Disney film.

“Definitely faster than Roscoe” Lewis laughed at his comment and you looked back to the sleepy dog.

“Giraffes don’t sleep that much neither. Only around two hours a day. I don’t know if they snore though” you laughed, but curiosity burned inside you, maybe that was the only fact you didn’t know about your favourite animals.

“We’ll have to go to a safari then” he chuckled, placing his hadn’t on top of yours when he said it.

“OR google it. Though I prefer by far your idea” you smiled. And just when Lewis thought you were calmed, you talked again “Also did you know… giraffe’s hearts beats faster so that blood can reach their brain. You know, because of the long neck”

“Where did you learn all of this?” He asked furrowing his eyebrows, a sight that always made you smile because you always thought Sir Lewis Hamilton knew it all. “You know the nights where you can’t sleep and start watching random videos on YouTube??” He just nodded with a smile already knowing where you were heading “well, somehow I always ended up watching giraffes’s videos and I became obsessed with them, til the point I want one drawing in my skin. Forever” you managed to say in a yawn. “What time is it?”

“It’s only 23.30. You’re like a nana, always going to bed so early. I wanted to watch a film or something”

“Well okay. But I maybe I end up like Roscoe in five minutes” both of you laughed watching the dog and Lewis got up to chose a film, only then you realized your hand was still on his leg.

“Let’s see!!!” Now the exited kid was him, except he was really choosing a Disney movie. “Have you ever seen Aladdin?” He asked looking back at the sofa, where you were waiting.

“Of course I have! But I don’t mind watching it again!!” And so that’s what you did.

Lewis came back to the sofa running and jumping as a little exited happy kid, grabbing a blanket in his way there.

“You don’t know how much I missed this” he talked placing the blanket over your two bodies, that were now closer in order to share it.

“And by ‘this’ you mean…?” You asked not really are of what he was talking about, keeping your eyes in the movie. But he looked at you.

“Just this. Being with a girl watching a movie at night. And nothing else” and when he said that you did look at him “you know… sometimes girls just want a bed and a famous man, and if I suggest anything else they even get mad” he said, and you couldn’t help but laugh.

“Well, just relax, because nothing like that is going to happen with me” you smiled and looked at the tv, but he kept on looking at you.

Not more than ten minutes later you started head-butting. Your neck was already hurting and you thought it was time to go to bed.

“You can lay here” Lewis suddenly said almost in a whisper like if he was reading your mind. You smiled and listened to him, leaning your head over his shoulder as you kept on watching the film until your eyes were too heavy to keep them open.

You woke up hearing Roscoe’s steps in the wooden floors. As soon as you lifted your head to see the dog, your neck hurt like crazy, and you suddenly realised you were still on the couch, with a blanket over you. Even worse, when were about to got up, you couldn’t. No, your neck didn’t hurt that much, but Mr. almost-eight-times-world-champion’s arms were holding you tight, you were literally laying on top him, your legs intertwined at the end of the couch. It was actually nice of him, you used to fall from your bed quite often, but not if you had his secured arms around your waist.

“Lewis” you didn’t say it as a whisper, but it was how it sounded with your morning voice. It didn’t made him get up, he didn’t even open his eyes. “Leeewiiis” You said a bit louder, hitting his chest softly with your hand.

“What?” He mumbled annoyed as if he was the one trying to get up and couldn’t.

“Let me go, please” you asked him politely first.

“Never” he tightened his hold on you and you laughed softly hitting his chest harder, thinking it was just another joke of him to annoy you. Little did you know…

“Seriously Lewis, my mum is going to come at any moment”.

“So what? It’s not like we’re naked, YN” He smiled even thought his eyes were still close.

“But I still need to pack my things, I have to leave today” you informed him and he became silent for a moment. Then he finally opened his eyes. “Good morning”.

“Where do you need to go?” He asked without even saying good morning to you too.

“Home. I’ve got a job, you know?” Only then he let go of you and you could finally get up greeting the excitedly dog.

“What time is it?” He asked rubbing his eyes, still laying on the couch.

“Eight thirty” you answered as you walked to the kitchen, ready to drink so coffee and start your day.

That was exactly what you were doing when Lewis entered the kitchen after changing to his gym clothes.

“Didn’t know you were leaving. I thought you were staying the last four days here” he said as he poured milk in his mug.

“I wish” you laugh “But I really need to go back to the office” you mumbled sipping from your drink. He just nodded and kept on making breakfast until your mum came in.

“Morning!” She shouted with her usual energy, both of you welcoming her with the same words. “I see you’re ready for training!” She talked to Lewis after kissing your temple.

“Yep. Ready and steady” he nodded finishing his coffee.

“Good” your mum said making one for herself. “And you, young lady, everything packed???” “Nope” you said repeating the way Lewis answered her before, with that p at the end of the word. “I’ll do it now while you guys train” you informed. Angela nodded, but in reality she was doubting if she should ask a really specific question the she might regret. She did anyways.

“Where were you tonight? I didn’t feel neither you Lewis or Roscoe coming upstairs”. Of course your mum had a sixth sense to feel when you came into the house when you were a teenager, but it seemed like it haven’t disappear yet. “What?” She looked at Lewis when he choked on his coffee because of her question.

“We fell asleep in the couch” you sincerely said, it wasn’t something you were ashamed to share with your mum, is not like if you made out with the driver.

“Oh! Pretty small couch, isn’t it?” She asked again trying to push the limits.

“We watched the video and then Aladdin. And then we just felt asleep there” you shrugged “by the way, your phone is there” you pointed to the counter, in reality trying to change the subject, that was already becoming kinda uncomfortable.

“With wine???” She kept on asking like if you were still 15 years old and she had to know everything. It was kinda your fault too, you always told her everything, but with Lewis you never were truly honest, knowing how important that driver was to her.

“Nothing happened, Angela” Lewis, who was up until that moment listening to you both in silence, finally talked.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if it did… Come on, be ready in five, kiddo!” She shouted already leaving the empty mug in the sink and a really blushed you and Lewis behind.

“I’ll go pack everything” you rapidly said after your mum left, coming up to your room and taking a shower before they came back to be able to say goodbye properly.

You heard the door shut just when you were finishing packing your clothes, everything except one t shirt.

“How is it going?” Your mum asked from the door frame as you heard water running, supposing it was Lewis.

“Good. Everything is packed already” you said turning around to see her come closer and pointing at the t shirt folded on the bed. “I want to give it to Lewis” you informed, surprising her.

“Oh! I see you finally resolved the differences between you two” she talked sitting on the bed, next to the t shirt that was folded there.

“See, I don’t think there has ever be a difference between us both, mum. It was just the stupid fight in Silverstone, you know when he promised he would go slow. I didn’t even remembered it.” you laugh remembering the video. “Also I’m kinda jealous. You’re always with him traveling the world, not with me. And I’m not blaming you, it was just hard for me to understand growing up and I guess I just blamed Lewis for it”

“I know, YN. But you know it’s my job, it’s what I always wanted, and you can come with me whenever you want now that you get along with him and that isn’t an excuse anymore” she talked while you nodded, knowing that she was right “He told me about the tattoos”.

“Oh that was just- you know, yesterday night, the tattoos thing came up and the other day I showed him the one in my ribs and-“

“Hey, it’s okay” your mum laughed at your rambling. “It couldn’t always be a secret between us both”.

“I said it only to you because no one really asked, no one cared” you confessed sitting next to her on the bed. “As you said, I’ve been always a lonely girl” you smiled remembering her words.

“And Lewis cared?” She asked with her usual teasing, just the same as your.

“It looked like it, and if he didn’t then he’s a good faker” you shrugged looking at your mum.

“Nope, trust me, he’s not a good faker” she laughed. “Come on, I’ll help you take these downstairs” She got up and took your suitcase, you took your bag and the t shirt you wanted Lewis to keep.

But as soon as you stepped into the corridor, Lewis was already exiting his room, the dog following him close behind. He was the one who ended up taking everything downstair like a tru gentleman even thought your mum insisted not to.

“You’re already leaving?” He asked once you reached downstairs.

“Isn’t it obvious?” You tease like the first day, looking down at your bags, the key of your car in your hands as you walked to the entry, exited the house and loaded the car. “So” you talked with your hands in the back pocket of your jeans, not being good at goodbyes. It was your mum the who hugged you first, in fact if she did it a bit harder she might have broke you into two.

“Can’t breath can’t breath can’t breath” you barely pronounced making it look like if you were running out of air until she finally let you go.

“My baby” she mumbled placing loads of kisses on your face as you rolled your eyes back, a sight that made Lewis laugh. Angela placed one more last kiss on your cheek and finally separate form you a little.

“You’re not coming to the tests in Barcelona??” Lewis guessed because of the the long goodbye hug, thought he already knew the answer, you never went, even to the races.

“No” you denied with your head “I’ve got something for you” you handed him the t shirt under the staring look of your mum, who couldn’t hide her laugh, as well as Lewis. Yep, it was the t shirt of Max’s championship party. “I figured you might like to have it as a memory, I think you’re the only one who doesn’t have one” you shrugged making him laugh harder.

“Well, thank you. But I think I might use it as a cloth to clean the dirt of the bicycle or something” he cheekily added making you laugh harder.

“You can use it on Roscoe, it’s an extra small, I’m sure it’ll fit”

“No” he denied with his head in an extremely serious tone, hearing your laugh as you kneeled in front of him to pet his dog, mumbling words to the dog with that characteristic tone you always used and he could perfectly recognised as yours, both the dog and the owner. Then you got up and open your arms with a smile on your lips to hug him too.

“Bye Lewis” you mumbled in the crock of his neck as he hugged you as tight as you mum. “Take care of my mum, please”

“Of course. Will I see you at Bahrain??” He asked still with his arms around your waist and shoulders.

“Maybe” you playfully said breaking the hug, not before he placed a kiss on your forehead. “Just so you know…that t shirt… it symbolized the past, the last season. And now I have a free hanger in my wardrobe, that’ll hopefully have your name by the end of the season, Mr. almost-eight-times-world-champion” you said patting his shoulder under his staring look and smile. He didn’t say anything, but hugged you again one last time before you got in the car.

“Drive safe” your mum, who had been there the whole time, said and you nodded while you drove away, disappearing between the trees.

“I’m screwed Angela. So screwed” Lewis confessed, still looking at the spot where your car disappear.

“I know” she laughed getting inside the house, ready to face the last four days of preseason before the tests started.

Hello ! I propose "Yeah. You're in love with me" said by a cocky reader.

Ock deserves to be teased, just a little bit 😏

Thank you !

This was different than my usual reader vibe (at least for the first part) and it was super fun!! Love a good cocky character😆👌🏼

Doc Ock x Gender neutral reader

~~~

You shift, squirm, but you can’t break free. In fact, you can hardly move.

“This is getting old, you know,” you say, feeling the familiar twinge of misgiving. You know it’s not the best idea to antagonize your captor, but he hasn’t hurt you for it… yet.

“I don’t know what you mean.”

The man sitting at the desk nearby swivels on his stool and surveys you from behind dark goggles. There’s something in his face, in the twist of his mouth— you can figure out why but it makes you tingle.

“This is the fifth time you’ve used me as leverage against the cops in the past two weeks,” you tell him. “You know you could just let me go once you’re out of sight of them, instead of hauling me all the way here, right?”

You can't help it; a crooked grin finds its way onto your lips.

“It’s almost like you enjoy my company, Doctor,” you say.

Doctor Otto Octavius pushes himself slowly to his feet, then walks over to where one of his metal, tentacle-like arms is still holding you fast to a big metal pole. Your heart stutters slightly as he seems to look you over, inch by inch, then he pushes the goggles up onto his forehead. His eyes— lord, his eyes— are a beautiful golden brown, warm in color if not in expression.

“You’re quite chatty for someone in such a dangerous situation,” he drawls. You find your tongue, having lost track of it for a few seconds while you stared at the movement of his lips, and chuckle. You don’t really have much to lose if he really does decide to do something to you, but something tells you he won’t.

“If you wanted to kill me, you would’ve done it the first time you grabbed me. Remember, when I swore at you for five minutes straight before you decided to gag me? If anything, this is just becoming inconvenient at this point.”

His mouth, his lovely, soft mouth, twitches.

“I know how to recognize an antagonistic comment when I hear one, sweetheart,” he says. You watch the way his lips curl, entranced.

“Say that again,” you hear your voice say. He frowns.

“I said, I know how to recognize an antagonistic comment when I hear one.”

“No, no, the other thing.”

“What?”

“You called me ‘sweetheart.’”

You’re probably going to get yourself firmly on your way toward being maimed (at least) with this, but it’s worth a shot.

“What of it?”

Otto’s voice nearly smokes with irritation. Yep, you’re well and truly fucked. Might as well go for it.

“You keep kidnapping me over and over,” you say, holding his irate gaze, “almost as if you enjoy spending time around me, and you just called me sweetheart. Is it possible you’re sweet on me, perhaps?”

Otto stares at you, unmoving, his eyes wide. You plow on ahead.

“You still haven’t killed me even though I’ve done my best to annoy you, which is incredible in itself.”

Taking what will likely be your last look at his amazingly handsome face, you buckle down and hammer the final nail in your own coffin.

“If I didn’t know better, I’d think you might be in love with me.”

Otto splutters.

“I’m— what?!”

“Yeah, you’re in love with me.”

There’s a painfully long moment of silence. You prepare yourself to feel the metal around you tighten, to be crushed against the pole behind you, but the pain never comes. Instead, you watch in genuine shock as Otto Octavius begins to blush.

The color is slow at first, creeping up his neck, then it floods into his cheeks.

“You have no idea what you’re talking about,” he growls, turning away, but the metal around your waist rattles to life, releasing you from its hold. You gasp at the sudden absence of pressure, then rub some life back into your skin.

“Doctor?” you ask, feeling almost timid. “I— can I go?”

He drops onto the stool at his desk and grunts. On a different day, you would’ve jogged out immediately, but today you hesitate. You’d been bluffing, right? Just teasing him, trying to get a rise out of him. It’s not like you’ve been thinking about him as you lie awake in bed at night. Or daydreaming of his eyes as you commute to work. Or— oh, fuck. Okay.

You take a few steps toward him, and his actuators swing around, clicking their claws menacingly. Nervous, you stop.

“Doctor Octavius, I— I’m going to get coffee tomorrow evening around 8pm at an all-night cafe I like on 17th street, then go to the park nearby. It wouldn’t—” you swallow. “—It wouldn’t be terrible to see you there… and sitting on a park bench would definitely be more comfortable than being pinned to that pole. I’ll get you something from the cafe, my treat, but uh, no pressure.”

You can feel your own face growing warm, so you spin and break into your customary jog out of the run-down hideout. It’s unlikely that he’ll take you up on your offer, since he’ll probably think it’s a trap, but you haven’t sold him out to the law yet, and you don’t plan to. You’ll be at the park tomorrow around 8:30pm with two cups of coffee, regardless of what he decides to do.

Despite his rough exterior, he seems to have a soft heart. He strikes you as a milk-and-sugar kind of man. You smile, and head toward home.

Whole weekend ruined by one question: "how are you feeling?"

How am I feeling? Well I perfectly happy this morning when I got up, got into my character's head and was finally getting a flow in my in my writing until those few words.

Those words might not seem like a big deal to some. But, when asked seven times a day, seven times a week, it no longer sounds like a concern but harassment to get better. Which only hinders the process if getting better.

See, I've been feeling sick for a while; moody, chronically fatigued, constant pain in my stomach, etc until discovering I'm gluten intolerant.

After years of suffering like that, it was nice to know what the route of the problem was. My BJJ coach laughed at me and said, "that's so millennial" well, it's not 😆.

After one day of cutting it out, my mothe4 expected me to feel immediately better, and since im not she's constantly holding me with that one question. That question no longer has the same meaning it did.

I'm starting getting better after cutting the gluten out of my diet. Energy is coming back, I'm not feeling as sluggish, I was finally getting out of a depression, and heading back to the gym after five weeks of not going.

Well, the thing is, I was writing something for a piece I had commissioned. Something I started back before kinktober, but it's now tainted with the paranoia, and now, I don't know if I can get this out for tomorrow, I can't even go back to it.

I deleted it the fic, for an hour, and restored it. But I still can't go back to it.

I'm spending mslostbof the weekend with family, with my mother who is constantly asking me how one doing and I'm no longer on a good place.

#personal #might delete later

50. How did you get your biggest scar? It was 5ish o’clock in the afternoon and I hadn’t eaten since breakfast. My mom had finished dinner, but I told her I needed to go to the bathroom before I sat down to dinner. So I went to my bathroom and promptly fainted into the bathtub (low blood sugar I guess). I woke up a minute or so later having bashed my head into the tub. My glasses punctured my face, making symmetrical gashes in between my eyebrows. I went to an urgent care and got them stitched up. You can hardly see them because the doctor did a good job. Plus, I still wear glasses so they hide the scars too.

I tag @amillionsmiles @smahwg if you’re just as bored as I am😁
