#Rover Red Charlie

[illyanarasputinfan]

Can you recommend any good titles that are not published by DC or Marvel?

Here are the titles I’ve read that are not published by Marvel over the past few months. I enjoyed all of them. If you’re looking for something different, I recommend giving these a read.

Summary: Once upon a time, there was a green-eyed prince, locked away in a tower of monsters for the sin of refusing his angelic betrothed. Once upon a time, there was a blue-eyed wizard who had erred, and in doing so had lost, and lost, and lost, until he had little left to lose. Once upon a time, there was a Princess of Mondoor, cursed to live as a red dragon. Or perhaps she was a red dragon who had been born in the shape of a Princess of Mondoor. Hard to say. These were all separate stories. Until they weren’t.

ranking Sodor's couples (only those included in these two posts for now) by how similar their music tastes are! (most to least)

Salty/Porter, obviously. They're the only couple whose music tastes are completely unified - said unity being Irish Rovers and Blackmore's Night (kidding. it's sea shanties and folk (mostly British/Celtic/Gaelic) in general, not just those two)

Whiff/Scruff - they both enjoy noise music that makes most anyone else cover their ears. Where they differ though is that Scruff also enjoys techno while Whiff prefers rock

Emily/Caitlin - both listen to pretty basic music, although Caitlin leans more britpop while Emily doesn't care where the music is from at all. Biggest difference, though, is that Emily generally prefers solo acts and Caitlin groups.

Thomas/James - mostly this high because Thomas listens to anything. James is very into some kpop girl groups (mostly Red Velvet, but also Iz*One, Cherry Bullet, f(x) etc. - the ones that either have a red(ish) theme or referenced the colour in a well known song) and Thomas enjoys it just as much as anything else (- maybe ballads, but they're not James' style either)

Charlie/Rosie - Charlie, similarly to Thomas, will listen to pretty much anything, but the reason they're lower on the list is because Rosie's taste is basically just metal, highly stylised Japanese music (think Kyaru Pamyu Pamyu or Vocaloid) and uncanny valley-like stuff. And sorry but Charlie just can't do Poppy.

Daisy/Ryan - Daisy likes they girl pop icons like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Lana del Rey, Rihanna, stuff like that, and listens mostly to specific artists. Ryan doesn't care about the artists, and listens mostly to ballads, but that does give them an overlap area in the way of ballads sung by the girl icons

Edward/Henry - they're both looking for different things in music; basically, Edward's looking to dance, they like lively music and don't put much thought into the lyrics, and Henry's looking to cry (both in the sad and happy way, more looking for emotions in general), and lyrics are the first thing he's paying attention to. There is some overlap of stuff they both like, but for the most part they just compromise by either a.) each listening to their own thing or b.) playing one song each out loud and going back and forth

Luke/Victor - both of their favourites are folk music of their own culture, Celtic Irish and Latin American respectively, so similar in reasoning, vastly different in execution. Neither however minds the others music as one of the points they both love about each other is their love for their cultures, so they genuinely don't need to compromise (in the strict sense) on what they listen to together.

Douglas/Oliver - Oliver has quite a tame taste, some rock, some metal, some pop, that kinda stuff, but Douglas (along with Donald), in an act that nobody is quite sure whether it's real or just a joke gone too far, listens exclusively to bagpipes. They came to an agreement that neither plays their music out loud.

List of OCs in Leda House and the Kraken Verse

Should I add this to More to the Story? Feels like reference material.

NOTE: There are characters in the Leda verse that have an OC feel or seem like they are, but are not:  Charlie Bonnet is a misnaming, accidently then on purpose, of Louis Bonnet. In universe this is retconned that Charlie is his middle name. Flint and Silver are borrowed  from Black Sails. Read and Bones are based on the historical Mary Read and Anne Bonny. 

Last names are listed if they were mentioned in ‘verse in more than one story or prompt response. Please let me know if I missed anyone!

Main verse: 

Love Interests: 

Faith Callahan - Izzy’s high school sweetheart. She has orange-red hair, watery blue eyes, physically small and appears fragile. She died on July 14, 1995 at 17 years old. 

Felix Cardoso - Alma’s first boyfriend and eventually, Charlie’s husband. He’s tall, broad, and has flyaway dark curls. He is a pitcher in major league baseball and has played for a few different teams. 

Erika Rover- Alma’s wife. She’s on the short side, chubby, dyes her hair pastel colors and wears large circle gold-rimmed glasses.  She is a published author and has a doctorate in literature with a focus on children’s literature. 

Hands/Norris Clan 

Jonah Hands - Izzy’s older brother. The largest Hands, broad and tall, a bruiser. He worked legally as an HVAC repairman and illegally as an enforcer for a loan shark. He was murdered in the early 00s. 

Candy - Jonah’s girlfriend. She has long beautiful and creatively manicured fingernails. She was the manager of a shop. 

Aaron Hands - Izzy’s younger brother. He looks a lot like Izzy, but styles his hair into a ‘helmet’. He’s a missionary, along with his wife. 

Delilah ‘Delly’ Norris- Izzy’s younger sister. She also looks a lot like Izzy, wears her hair long and has a slightly softer jawline. She does sale based high-end furniture sales. 

Thomas Norris - Delly’s husband. He’s big, strong and shaves his head. He’s a firefighter. 

Dylan ‘Pickle’ Norris  - Delly and Thomas’ daughter. She stays petite, has the Hands strong brow and jaw. Her job is to ‘be six’ or basically student/kid. 

Ma Hands- Izzy’s mother. Undescribed. 

Da Hands - Izzy’s father. A bulldog of a man. 

The PPP (Alama’s friends, they date each other at some point, but not together by the time they reach adulthood) 

Ingrid- She’s the shortest of a short group, shaves her dark hair off at various points, her style is ‘oversized and comfortable’, she is heavily tattooed, pierced and has high cheekbones. She becomes a social worker. 

Owen - He’s a little stocky, medium height, always keeps a goatee and wears a beanie  whenever possible, his style is slouchy and comfortable, also heavily tattooed. He works in the music industry doing something with insurance. Amir (listed below) is his boyfriend. 

Shawna- Tallest of the group, she is striking, often wears her hair in long box braids and while her fashion changes, she always gravitates to neon colors. She’s a professional model and then Stede’s P.A. after Lucius. 

Charlie’s Circle

Schmidty- Tall, tattooed, swimmer’s build and otherwise undescribed, he is Charlie’s first fuck buddy and they stay friends. He’s an elementary school teacher. 

Amir Shariq- Shorter than Charlie, but taller than the entire PPP, he’s got a swimmer’s, dark eyes and a bright smile. He’s a world record, gold medal Olympic swimmer and eventually a doctor, specializing in emergency medicine. (Amir’s mother Kaijah Shariq and father Rashad Shariq make brief appearances) 

Roach’s Family:

Marvin Feldman- Roach’s adoptive father, shorter than Roach, pleasantly round, mostly bald and wears glasses. He is now retired, but formally did remote tech work. 

Audrey Feldman- Roach’s adoptive mother, she is the same height as her husband, wears a lot of bright breezy clothes, including a variety of perfectly matched headscarves. She is now retired, but formally was an editor for a large publishing house. 

Yara - Roach’s spiritual mentor/friend/auntie. She  was once tall, but is bent with age and dresses in perfectly tailored, elegant clothes. She is now retired, but was a seamstress and clothing designer. 

Other: 

Rita - Read’s brief maternal figure in her late teens. She’s medium height, medium build, wears her gray hair closely cropped and wears nonsense clothes, still has some pieces from her biker days. She is a middle school history teacher.

Discussed but never seen:

Blue Toby- Employee of Hornigold Securuty first under Hornigold then Eddy. 

The Barista - Doesn’t actually appear in any story, but Jim’s enmity is so strong that he makes the list. 

AU of the AU She Says You Can’t Hurry Love

Whina Teach- Eddy’s mother. She does exist in the mainverse, but is dead and her name isn’t mentioned. She’s Izzy’s height, frail-looking though she does a lot of manual labor and dresses very plainly. She was a housekeeper, but Eddy helps her to early retirement. 

Dave Black- Pete’s father. Stocky, stooped and medium height. He worked a construction job and was a union leader. He and Whina eventually have a romantic relationship. 

AU of the AU Wake Myself in the Shadows 

Raven ‘Bird Boy’ Bonnet- Alma’s son. Underweight, undersized, black hair and big eyes. He’s a precocious kid, who is very attached to his Uncles Izzy and ‘Cha-Cha’.

CAUGHT ‘22

2022 is unlikely, it seems to me, to go down in history as a banner year for popular movies. But even in less auspicious years, there are always some good flicks, and some good or even great scenes or performances in movies that aren't so great overall.

Out of what I saw, here are ten movies that stood out as best for me this past year:

Nope--Jordan Peele's latest is probably the best UFO movie since Close Encounters, though it has a more sinister edge. It's wildly original, funny and creepy sci-fi/horror, yet it also carries the heroic charge of a good western.

Good Night Oppy--This documentary about the Mars rovers Opportunity and Spirit has interesting information about the Red Planet, but it's really about the way the NASA nerds anthropomorphized the robots and fretted over them and cheered them on and ultimately grieved over them. In an entirely unpretentious way, the movie hints at the question of where sentience comes from.

The Duke--This pandemic-delayed release was, I thought, perhaps the most overlooked and delightful movie of the year. Jim Broadbent is splendid as Kempton Bunton, a cab driver, factory worker and anti-television fee protestor who in 1965 confessed to stealing Goya's Portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London; Helen Mirren is his fed-up wife. The direction, by the late Roger Michell, is warm, graphically lively and period-rich.

Everything Everywhere All At Once--Family drama, immigrant saga, sly comedy, martial arts actioner, Matrix-style sci-fi adventure and more are mashed-up in this freaky yarn from writer-directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert that tries to live up to its title. It's epic, intimate, silly and profound. All at once.

Thirteen Lives--Dramatizing a technically complicated rescue mission in detail, Ron Howard is in his element in this moving account of the rescue of twelve Thai kids and their soccer coach from a flooded cave in 2018. A little tough if you're claustrophobic, but a true feel-good movie.

The Whale--Brendan Fraser gives a luminous, possibly generational performance as Charlie, a morbidly obese English teacher trying to reconnect with his furious estranged daughter. Directed by Darren Aronofsky, the movie is a little heavy and one-note aside from the star, but Fraser's radiance shines through the prosthetics.

Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down--Infuriating because of what Giffords lost when she was shot in 2011; inspirational because of how much she got back, and how courageously she refused to give in to despair. Directors Julie Cohen and Betsy West build the movie around how central music was to Giffords' recovery.

The Fabelmans--In Steven Spielberg's loosely autobiographical coming-of-age yarn, scripted by Tony Kushner, the focus is largely on the parents, beautifully played by Paul Dano and Michelle Williams. The movie isn't a grand slam, but it's fascinating, and it has the best final shot of the year.

Marcel the Shell With Shoes On--This feature expansion of the 2010 viral short by Dean Fleischer-Camp, with Jenny Slate voicing the tiny title character, is sunny and hilarious, but with improbably dramatic and poignant undertones. Isabella Rossellini is exquisite as the voice of Marcel's "Nan."

The Banshees of Inisherin--Martin McDonagh's black comedy about the agonies of friendship goes so sour in its later acts that I almost didn't put it on the list. But the brilliance of the initial conception and, especially, the magnificent acting of Brendan Gleeson, Colin Farrell, Barry Keoghan and Kerry Condon demand its inclusion.

One more list, while I'm at it; for anyone who might unfathomably be interested, here is the embarrassingly short list of books I read this year (as always, it doesn't include short stories, poems, comic books, essays, articles, reviews, automotive manuals, skywriting, menus, fortune cookie fortunes, etc etc)...

The Silent Gondoliers by William Nolan

Sucker's Portfolio by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

Orphans of the Sky by Robert A. Heinlein

Saturday Night and Sunday Morning by Alan Sillitoe

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein

The Spread by Barry Malzberg

Ben by Gilbert A. Ralston

Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

The Investigation by Stanislaw Lem

The Werewolf Principle by Clifford D. Simak

Destry Rides Again by Max Brand

Ended up finally giving 'Rover Red Charlie' a shot after years of being aware of it.

I think maybe I'll compile my thoughts about it a bit later. Not quite sure how I feel about it, even outside of it's pretty grotsky elements.

Summary: Once upon a time, there was a green-eyed prince, locked away in a tower of monsters for the sin of refusing his angelic betrothed. Once upon a time, there was a blue-eyed wizard who had erred, and in doing so had lost, and lost, and lost, until he had little left to lose. Once upon a time, there was a Princess of Mondoor, cursed to live as a red dragon. Or perhaps she was a red dragon who had been born in the shape of a Princess of Mondoor. Hard to say. Anyway, she was definitely a dragon now. These were all separate stories. Until they weren’t.

Excerpt: “So you can’t just be… rescued?” Garth repeated. “Whaaaaaat? You’ve got to, like, fall in love with someone and they’ve got to fall in love with you?” “Yep,” Dean answered, popping the ‘p’. “It’s crazy smart magic,” Charlie admitted. “Making it conditional like that, having the tower’s magic tied to all of it… magic’s all about potential, right? And the curse draws from the potential of that rather than from the caster. And with every year that passes, that potential just gets stronger and stronger. Even with angel magic being all weird and broken now.” Dean glared at her. Which, sure, wasn’t exactly going to do much—considering that she was forty feet long, it was possible that if he stabbed her it might not do much other than pinch her a little—but it was the principle of the thing. “I didn’t say it wasn’t an asshole thing to do!” she insisted, a little sheepishly. “Just that it, was, y’know. Smart.” Dean kept glaring. Now Garth was glaring too, in solidarity, though it wasn’t even that much of a glare, compared to Dean’s. “Yeah, yeah,” Charlie muttered, and tucked her nose into the broad arc of one red foreleg. Humans. Just couldn’t appreciate a really well-crafted spell if it bit them in the… well, anyway. “But how’re you supposed to do that, y’know, meet someone nice, fall in love with them, if folk only come thinking they’re going to be fighting their way up, or, y’know, rescuing you for that nice prize that’s being offered, or… oh. Ohhh. That’s why it’s a curse,” Garth muttered. Dean didn’t bother to say “Yep” again. Garth looked at him with his jaw squared (as much as he was able) and a serious expression (again, as much as he was able). “But you seem like a good guy,” he said, making Dean blink. “Really good-looking, too. And a prince, at that!” he explained, waving a hand to indicate up and down Dean’s long, lean body. “I bet you even have all your teeth!” “Uhh…” Dean started, bewildered. “Teeth are important,” Garth added, apropos of nothing at all. “Teeth are weird,” Charlie agreed cheerfully. “Dragons shed them all the time. They just grow back in. Really freaked me out the first time I spat out a mouthful!” “Really?” Garth asked, interested, leaning in as if Charlie’s maw weren’t big enough to swallow his head in one gulp. “Can I—” “Guys. Focus.” “Right, right.” Garth leaned back with a rattle of his armor. “Well, I’m real sorry I can’t fall in love with you. Just, I’m already taken.” He puffed his chest out proudly, visible even through his breastplate. Dean thought his own tongue was so far in his cheek he might never be able to get it out as he mumbled, “Uh, yeah, well. Thanks anyway.”

50 years ago… launchday suitup for Apollo 16 The Apollo 16 astronauts, Commander John Young (red striped spacesuit) with Command Module Pilot Thomas Mattingly and Lunar Module Pilot Charles Duke suiting up in their A7LB spacesuits. Three years earlier, Charlie Duke had been mission control CAPCOM during the actual Apollo 11 lunar landing. This time, the Apollo lunar spaceflight mission was headed to the Descartes lunar highlands, carrying a Lunar Rover vehicle and the first telescope to be used on the lunar surface! The Apollo 16 CSM was named “Casper” and the Lunar Lander was named “Orion”. The mission was shortened by one day because of concerns with Casper’s main SPS engine! Suit-up TV footage shows that Young wore the NASA-issued Omega Speedmaster chronograph strapped over the righthand, Mattingly on the lefthand wrist and Charlie Duke over the lefthand glove. Moreover, Charlie Duke wore an extra Omega Speedmaster at his lefthand wrist underneath the A7LB Apollo space suit. (Photo: NASA)

Love Finds You

For the square "Arranged Marriage" on @girl-next-door-writes bingo

Mafia (ish) AU. Warnings are cursing, angst, John trying to kill the reader, Dean killing John

Word Count: 5,343

You walked through the quiet halls hearing the echo of your boots reverberate to your own ears. Something big was happening for this place to be this quiet. It was like a tomb where normally there was a solid bustle of movement. You stopped just shy of the entrance to your uncle’s study. You felt an uneasiness but pushed it down before knocking on the heavy door. “Come in” you heard his voice carry out and knew he wasn’t alone.

You straightened your jacket before pushing the door open and wasn’t at all surprised to see none other than John Winchester sitting in front of your uncle Joseph’s desk. Your eyes narrowed at the presence of the other man and you unconsciously reached to touch the gun riding at your hip and saw Joseph give the barest shake of his head “Y/N I believe you know our guest” John held his hand out but you didn’t care about the pretense of politeness you’d earned your reputation and with it had come the right to act as you saw fit so you simply folded your arms “The man whose wife was killed when his kids were young so he’s done everything in his power to stay as far away from those kids and be the poorest excuse for a father even this line of work has ever seen?” 

Joseph looked taken aback but John on the other hand had the nerve to laugh “Yeah I heard she was something and she does not disappoint” you turned your eyes to your uncle “What’s all this cloak and dagger bullshit? Why is the head of the only other family in the world that comes close to your empire sitting in your office?” “As you just said dear. The Winchesters are the only other family that comes close to ours. What better way to solidify our footing than a union between the two?” you laughed harshly, the sound sharp enough to slice through the air “I know you didn’t call me here with the nerve to propose that I have anything to do with him?” “Actually my oldest son Dean has agreed to do whatever necessary to help the family succeed” John cut in so you spun around on him “So you abandon your kids bad enough to get a reputation for it, then come here to basically plot with Joseph to sell your son off like a prize stud while I’m what? The old mare you’re breeding him to? Make a whole new crop?”

“Y/N that is enough young lady!” Joseph spoke harshly, his voice filling the area as he stood to his full height. You didn’t back down catching the look of amusement John had as you stood your ground “If you expect to marry me off to solidify an empire then I am here to tell you I expect everything to be signed over to me the moment I say I do. If I’m to agree to an arranged marriage then I’m going to fucking profit from it”  Joseph nodded “I’ve been wanting to retire as is” you turned your attention from him to John “I want to meet your son before the week’s end. My future husband and I need to have a long talk. My dear uncle has my number” He nodded “Yes ma’am” you spun around on your heel and marched out the office being sure to slam the door shut behind you.

You held up the pretense until you made it down to your car and only once you were pulling away from the curb did you break tears flowing freely. You knew your life would never truly be your own but now you didn’t even get a chance to try to fall in love, you were being forced to marry someone you’d never meant just to hold onto what your father had built and what you’d bled to keep intact.

It was three days later before your phone rang with a number you didn’t recognize. When you answered it you groaned inwardly at hearing John’s voice “Y/N? Dean wants to know if you’d like to meet today” “Name a time and place” you responded coldly. He reiterated the location and time so you agreed before hanging up. You stared at the phone then clicked the number you had saved on the speed dial. A woman didn’t get as far as you had without having people she could trust. The Banes twins were your right hand man and woman. You’d take them with you to the meeting along with Abaddon who was a bit of a loose cannon but she was loyal to you.

------

A few hours later you were riding in the passenger seat of Abaddon’s range rover with Alicia and Max sitting in the backseat going over a weapon’s check. “So let me get this right, you marry Winchester and your uncle’s part of the business is yours?” Max asked and you nodded. “Do we all get promotions?” Abaddon asked, her red hair gleaming in the sunlight and a barely restrained laugh pulling at her bright red lips.   “Oh you all will be my team that stays in the main house with me” you replied with a sharp laugh.

When she pulled the car to a stop at the iron gate you glanced up to look into the security cameras while she spoke to the monitor that she was your security detail. A few seconds later the gate swung open so she pulled in.

The property was nice, sprawling out in front of you. The garage was open and the inside looked like a classic car collection. Just from a glance you spotted a 65 Shelby, a 70 Coronet and a drop down gorgeous 67 impala. “Please tell me those belong to Dean” you muttered without meaning to earning a laugh from the interior of your vehicle.

She drove around to the front entrance and parked where a guy motioned for her to. You clocked the gun at his side before ever getting out. It was fair enough, you were carrying same as Abaddon and Alicia while Max had more blades on him than you would’ve thought possible before meeting him. “You must be Y/N” the guy greeted you the moment your feet stepped outside the range rover.

You extended your hand with a business smile “That I am. Normally I like to know who I’m talking to?” an easy smile slipped onto his face and you got the sense he was getting a feel for you even before he said “Name’s Benjamin Lafitte ma’am. Feel free to call me Benny, Dean does” You nodded and motioned to everyone in your party in turn “This is Abaddon, Alicia and Max” they all greeted each other then Benny motioned to the door “He’s waiting in the back garden. From what we’ve heard about you formal meetings isn’t really your thing” Abaddon cut her eyes at you so you rolled your eyes before saying “I appreciate a good impression being attempted”

You followed Benny through the main house admiring some of the artwork adorning the walls. It was a nice place. When he stepped to the side to open the doors leading into the back garden a redheaded woman was standing on the other side. With a nod to her Benny made the introductions. Her name was Charlie and it earned Dean a point in your book to learn he had a few women on his team. She joined your little group as Benny led the way past two fountains, a large swimming pool and what looked to be a firing range.

Three men were standing looking out over the property at the edge of the garden. Two were clearly John’s sons while the other looked to maybe be an uncle to them. Benny whistled out and the three turned to face all of you. 

While both of the younger men were good looking your eyes were glued to the shorter of the two. He had bright green eyes that were watching you curiously and just the way he held himself was an underlying sense of control to him at all times. He was gorgeous and the smirk that slipped onto his face from your attention told you that he was well aware of that fact “You must be Y/N. I’m Dean” “Nice to meet you considering we’ll be married in a couple months” you replied with a sharp laugh. The smirk on Dean’s face spread into a grin “I’ve heard a few things about you” “Good or bad?” you asked and he shrugged “Depends on the point of view”

He introduced you to the two men standing with him. One was his younger brother Sam, the other was Bobby Singer the man who’d practically taken over raising him and Sam. Once everyone knew each other’s names Dean nodded to Benny “Call inside for some drinks for our guests while me and Y/N speak in private” his eyes had never left yours but you refused to break eye contact first.

He motioned towards a trail you saw cut through the wooded area around the property “Care to take a walk?” you cut your eyes back towards Alicia, Max and Abaddon. “Yeah those three aren’t letting me out of their sight that easily” he nodded then said “Pick someone to walk with us but you’re not in any danger here. That’s why we had no problem letting you keep your weapons” you raised an eyebrow then motioned to Max “Care to take a walk with us?” he nodded and fell in step a few feet behind you and Dean giving the privacy the two of you needed but not being too far that he couldn’t be to your side quickly if needed.

The two of you walked in silence for a few moments before you broke it by asking “Dean do you even want to marry me? I mean you clearly would have plenty of options” he scoffed and cut his eyes at you “Like you’d have trouble warming your bed up there sweetheart?” you didn’t blush easily and times like this you were glad. He continued by saying “This life is all I’ve known. Between our families no one would dare step out of line and we both have morals we stand by. Innocent people don’t get hurt by us. If marrying a beautiful woman with one hell of a reputation is the cross I must bear then I believe I have fared pretty well” You laughed in earnest at that “Dean Winchester are you trying to sweet talk me?” he grinned and christ it made your stomach flip “Maybe, is it working?” you shook your head with a grin.

He stopped walking and turned to face you with all humor gone from his eyes “I just want to say even after we’re married I won’t lay a finger on you unless you want me to. I know this isn’t ideal but I’d like to think of myself as a good man and I’d like to think I could be a good husband even in this circumstance” You tilted your head slightly as you studied him. After a moment of your silence he scratched at the scruff covering his jaw “Are you gonna say anything in return or just stare at me?” you smiled and replied “Just thinking that you really are not what I expected but in the best of ways” he nodded then glanced back where Max was twirling a knife between his fingers “Think our people are playing nice?” you nodded then said “They’ve got to get used to each other”

John and Joseph alike both had plans for announcing the engagement. Meaning that between them both they had practically planned a damn ball just for a bunch of suits to get together in one room so they could flaunt that their families would be becoming one to the rest of the world. You hated the idea of being trotted around like a show horse.

“Alicia is this damned thing straight?” you asked, turning in front of the mirror. The dress had been designed for you. The color and cut was flattering, it had a slit giving you access to the knife at your thigh not that you’d need it considering Abaddon and Max would both be wearing designer suits decked out with their weapons on display and Alicia like you had a few blades hidden under her dress as well. “Will you stop fidgeting? You look beautiful” she smiled, smoothing the dress under her hands. You spared a smile in the mirror “So you do! I love that red dress” she winked “Thank you”

A knock on the door drew both of your attention so you called out “Yes?” and heard Max ask if the two of you were ready to go downstairs. You took Alicia’s arm then opened the door. Max let out a low whistle “Well you two look amazing” “Thanks Max” you smiled and ran your fingers across the lapel of his suit “You clean up pretty well too” He grinned “Abaddon is already downstairs. Y/N your in-laws were arriving so she sent me up to retrieve you” you rolled your eyes but let him lead the way downstairs.

------

You stopped at the bottom of the stairs and spotted Dean speaking to Joseph but he trailed off mid sentence when he saw you and that smile slid onto his face. Joseph said something to him so he nodded then made his way through the crowd.

When he got in front of you and Alicia he stopped. She kissed your cheek then grabbed her brother’s arm “Come on Max let’s mingle. Y/N we’ll be close enough” you watched her go then turned to Dean with a smile “So how do I look?” he let his eyes trail over your body and you felt heat rush to your face before he finally said “You look like everyone here is going to be cussing me under their breath when they find out we’re engaged” you laughed and shook your head “There’s that sweet talking streak again” he held his hand out and when you took it he asked “Is it working yet?” you rolled your eyes playfully “No but I’ll be sure to let you know when it does”

------

For the next few hours you were close to Dean’s side. You danced with him and Sam, even Bobby asked you for a dance. Abaddon was chatting with Charlie and you spotted Max and Alicia talking with Benny and another of Dean’s people. He was a pretty decent guy, easy on the eyes and easy to be around. You could’ve gotten stuck with a lot worse.

When it got close to midnight you watched as John and Joseph walked onto the stage together. Joseph took the mic first “As most of you are aware John and myself are here to announce something” he handed the mic to John who pointed where you and Dean stood so a spotlight followed “My Oldest son Dean is engaged to marry Joseph’s niece Y/N. We couldn’t be happier and wish the kids the best in the world” Dean wrapped his arm around your waist as would be expected and whispered in your ear “Like they didn’t push us into this” you laughed lightly but to anyone else it would appear just lovers whispering sweet nothings.

For the next while you clung to Dean’s arm as group after group stopped to congratulate the two of you. You found an opening and pulled him after you towards the back exit of the hall. He waved off Benny and Abaddon following you step for step. 

When you finally crashed into the cool night air a nervous laugh fell from your lips “Y/N are you ok?” you nodded then said “I guess it’s just I never saw myself getting married even in this life knowing this was a possibility and honestly I don’t know what it is about you but I’m not as mad as I was” “I hope maybe one day we can love each other Y/N. Even if our life starts like this it doesn’t have to stay like this. Our marriage may have been their idea but I plan to wine and dine you even after you say I do” he replied and you raised an eyebrow “Is it a challenge or making the best of the situation?” you asked so he shrugged “Maybe I just like you”

The two of you sat down on a bench just outside watching the night sky. A shooting star went over head so you bumped Dean’s arm “Make a wish Winchester” he turned to face you and the close proximity made your heart flip again as he said “I could think of a wish or two” you smiled and leaned forward to let your lips gently brush against his. He returned the kiss fully and when you pulled away to catch your breath you whispered “Me too” before he pulled you into another kiss.

Weeks passed after the ball announcing your engagement and during that time a day didn’t go by that you and Dean didn’t speak or spend time together. The more you learned of him the more you started to realize that while you hadn’t picked him it was as if you had he was nearly a perfect match for you. The only thing was he wanted desperately to have his father’s approval but he was twice the man John was. You just wished he’d see it.

You’d also started to spend some time getting to know Sam since he would be your brother-in-law and learned he actually had been enrolled in college to be a lawyer but when his girlfriend had been killed he ended up rejoining the family. He was now seeing a woman named Eileen but didn’t want it to be public knowledge simply because he didn’t want John around her. Knowing John you didn’t blame him and offered any assistance you could in helping him spend time with her.

------

Time rolled around for your final dress fitting so you, Abaddon, Alicia and Charlie were in the private suite of the bridal shop. The dress had been made for you so it fit perfectly. You stepped up to show them and they all clapped. “You look gorgeous and that’s with just a ponytail in your hair” Charlie offered with a grin. You smiled and twirled “Think Dean will like it?” Abaddon who had wandered off to the lingerie section held up a piece and winked “I think he’d prefer you in this” . You covered your face with both hands and Alicia cracked up laughing “Twenty years! I have known you for twenty years and I have never seen you blush!” 

“Have you slept with him?” Charlie asked bluntly and you nearly choked on the wine you were drinking. “I haven’t done more than kissed him” “Oh my god!” Abaddon groaned, flopping dramatically into the nearest chair “Why?” you shrugged “We’ve been getting to know each other!” Alicia raised an eyebrow “You have real feelings for him” when you didn’t respond she gasped “You’ve actually fallen in love with him haven’t you!” your eyes flew to Charlie who sipped her wine quietly. “Charlie” Abaddon spoke more as a question than as her name.

Charlie looked up from her glass “Ok so maybe he’s fallen for you too?” the three of them piled into one chair then looked back at you expectedly “So are you going to admit it?” Alicia finally asked and you shook your head “Not to either of you three”

Two weeks before you and Dean were to be married you were at your condo in the city finishing packing up. The plan was for you and him to move into a property that was between Joseph’s  and the Winchesters. It was large enough that you could both have those you wanted close but have privacy also. God help you had gone from horrified at the idea of this marriage to excited for it.

It was around two in the morning but you couldn’t sleep so you had music playing while you went through some of your older clothes and waited for Abaddon to get there. You heard a window break in your bedroom and grabbed your gun off the coffee table. You didn’t expect the pipe bomb that blew the front door off the hinges and threw you across the room.

You were barely conscious when you heard a voice say “With Joseph out the way we need her dead. We need to make Dean believe rivals killed her. That boy is so in love he’ll rip through them all. Grab her and we’ll keep alive long enough he’ll kill anyone when he finally gets her body” you tried to push yourself up but a black boot came into view. You followed that boot up to look into John’s eyes. He shrugged “Nothing personal sweetheart” then kicked you hard across the face.

------

When news made it to Dean that Joseph was dead and you were missing he felt his blood run cold. “What do you mean she’s missing? I thought you three had her back!” he nearly growled at Abaddon who was standing with Max and Alicia outside of Joseph’s estate where Dean had ended up going with Benny, Charlie and Sam at his side.

“We did! God dammit, I went to get her chinese takeout! I came back and her place was a wreck and these two were calling about the alarm going off at the main house!” Abaddon didn’t back down. She realized that Dean had a right to rage. He was in love with you but you’d been her charge and friend for many years. She’d die for you and wasn’t about to let him act like her and the twins didn’t care. “Well what now?” Benny asked and Charlie raised her hand “Has anyone checked cameras leading from her place?” Sam pointed at her “Good idea. Start there backtrack if possible. Dean we will find her”

------

How long had it been since you’d been taken? Did Dean think you were dead? Was he mourning you? Was John using him as a blunt instrument in his grief?

You were leaned back against a concrete wall curled into a tight ball. Your left eye was swollen shut, the right side of your head was sore to the touch from a blow that had needed staples but the swelling had finally stopped the bleeding. You were certain you had a few cracked ribs and more than likely some internal damage. 

They’d showed you Joseph’s body and while he hadn’t been your favorite he’d still had taken care of you. John had stupidly expected you to die easily. You refused to stop fighting. You owed it to everyone you cared about to stay alive as long as possible. 

You heard boots coming and forced your head up. John was right outside the small cell they’d shoved you into watching you closely. “Really I hate this because you’re a perfect match for Dean but I can’t have your morals fucking up my business. Right now Dean doesn’t like innocent people getting hurt but after I kill you then track down Sam’s new girl. The two of them? Well my boys will be ready to take down anyone I put in front of them” he smiled cruelly and you laughed despite the pain it caused “What’s so funny?”

You waved your hand showing the large slices they’d cut into your arms “You still think they’re anything like you or your dead wife? Those two? They’re good they’ll never follow your lead you bastard” he smiled humorlessly “We’ll see after your body gets delivered to Dean tomorrow” “So you’re here to kill me?” you asked and he pulled his gun out in response “Sure am”

You forced yourself to your feet biting down on your tongue to squash the noises of pain wanting to creep out of your lips. You refused to die on your knees. If you were going down it would be on your feet “Then do it you son of a bitch”

You held his gaze as a shot rang out but to your surprise you didn’t feel the pain of a gunshot instead John crumpled to the ground. You collapsed to your knees rather from pain or shock you weren’t sure but when you saw Dean standing there with a gun staring at his father’s body you began to sob.

You could hear familiar voices. Abaddon,Benny, Max but blocked them out. Thanks to you, the man you loved had been forced to kill his father.

You were curled into yourself when you felt strong hands on your shoulders “Y/N come on baby” you finally looked up to see Dean kneeling next to you. “I’m sorry” you choked out and he looked confused for a second then glanced back “It’s not your fault. I love you and if I had to kill him ten times over to save you I will” he gently pressed his lips to yours, careful of your wounds, then pulled you into his lap.

When the rest of the rescue team found you Dean barely wanted anyone else to lay a hand on you. He finally let Charlie and Bobby get close enough to look over your wounds “Nothing life threatening but she needs a hospital son. Your girl’s a fighter” Bobby said with a kind smile to you. Dean’s eyes were glued to yours as he said “My soon to be wife if she’ll still have me” you nodded crying again “Of course Dean”

“It’s taken a lot to get here but I am proud to say I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride” Bobby announced and Dean pulled you into a deep kiss.

The wedding was a lot smaller than anything Joseph or John had planned. There were barely thirty people in the garden of Joseph’s or well now your estate. It suited you and Dean a lot better. When Dean pulled back he smiled down at you “I love you Y/N” “I love you too Dean”

After the reception instead of throwing your bouquet you walked over and handed it to Eileen then winked at Sam “You’re next brother in law” Dean laughed and slid an arm around your waist “You heard my wife Sammy”

Set after 1x04 "Charlie Has Cancer"

Taken from my series The Reasons Why

~

“We gotta get that money back from The Waitress,” Dennis says as he grabs two beers and a bag of frozen peas. He hands the peas to Mac, who accepts them immediately and eagerly. “For your eye.”

Mac winces as he shields his broken face with frozen vegetables. “Yeah, dude. She’s such a bitch.”

“So what’s the plan?” Dennis asks. He takes a swig of beer. “Oh, I know. We get a car – not the Rover because the Rover is awesome – and leave it in her driveway. She wakes up in the morning like, ‘hey, what’s this car doing here?’ and that’s when she finds the keys. Of course, she drives it around anyway because she’s a piece of shit. Meanwhile, we call the police and say there’s a dirty blond bitch driving our stolen car. The cops show up. The Waitress is hauled to jail. End of our problems.”

Mac squints with one working eye. “How do we get the money back though, Den?”

“That plan is foolproof, and you know it,” Dennis says. “I need your brain power too. You can’t just expect me to keep coming up with plans the rest of our lives.”

“Whatever, bro. I’m gonna go crash. Your sister’s giant man claw really fucked up my head.”

“What? Right now?”

“No, tomorrow, Dennis. Yes, right now.”

“I can get you Tylenol if you just ask nicely. No need to be a bitch about it.”

Mac huffs. “Dude, shut up. I really do have a headache.”

“Oh,” Dennis says, glancing down at his hands before looking back up. “Well, take my bed then. Your mattress is shit for headaches.”

The last time Mac had a headache, it was the middle of June, and Dennis found him out on the couch with the AC blasting and a pillow bunched up around his neck. Dennis dragged him into his room without a second thought because Mac genuinely looked uncomfortable. They do this for each other all the time. They help one another out of jams. Just last week, Dennis was overheated after a day at the park, and Mac pointed three fans at him while rubbing ice cubes on his back.

So, yeah, it’s normal. He hates Mac because Mac is annoying, but he doesn’t want Mac to be sick or sad or hurt.

“Are you sure?” Mac asks, pirate eying him skeptically.

Dennis nods. “Yeah, man. How about you go take a shower? I’ll get the room ready, and then you can lay down.”

“No shower,” Mac whines. “I’m so tired.”

Dennis ushers him into the bathroom anyway; Mac drags his feet. “The warm water will help with your headache. I promise.”

He cranks the water almost as hot as it’ll go. He puts a pair of boxers near the sink, along with three Tylenol and a glass of water. Mac showers while Dennis changes into pajamas too. It’s weird here without Mac being awake, so Dennis sees no reason to hang out on the couch while Mac coops himself up in here. Plus, it’s good to be close by just in case Mac needs something, like more water or medicine or a midnight snack.

“You don’t have to do this, Den,” Mac says once he’s fresh from the shower, towel around his waist and messy hair dripping. The bruise on his face is streaked purple and red. He looks horrible. “I can just go to my room.”

Dennis shrugs. “It’s fine, Mac. Your pillows suck ass anyway.”

Mac nods, but he doesn’t say anything more. It’s one of the main signs he isn’t feeling well. Mac talks. Mac talks a lot. He doesn’t have favorite subjects or reasons behind the words. He just talks. But Dennis feels this twinge in his chest when Mac doesn’t talk, like something is missing.

Eventually, Mac settles down, head cradled by two memory foam pillows, a bucket nearby in case of an emergency (Mac is prone to migraines, so Dennis can never be too careful) and bundled in Dennis’ comforter. Dennis clicks off the light once he stops shifting and moving around. He slides under the covers and curls up on his side.

It's been a crazy day. Between Charlie faking cancer and both of them believing their best friend had cancer, it's a wonder they're function like normal humans. Usually, after days like these, it's best to get smashed, get laid, and forget about it. But Dee punched Mac because she, like The Waitress, is also a fucking bitch. Dennis almost jabs himself in the thigh with the pen on his nightstand just to see if Dee will feel it too, like some sort of twin connection, but he doesn't want to freak Mac out.

(But it'd be great revenge after 28 years of dealing with Dee's shit.)

"What would you have done if Charlie really had cancer?" Mac whispers, voice strained.

Dennis inhales sharply and places his hands behind his head. "I dunno. It'd be weird, right?"

"So weird," Mac agrees.

"I guess there's perks, though, if you think about it. We'd probably never have to pay for anything again. Everyone would just feel sorry for Charlie and then bestow gifts upon us."

Mac snorts. "'Bestow.'"

"It's a real word, Mac."

"I know, dude. I'm not an idiot. But no one actually uses 'bestow' in a real sentence."

"I do," Dennis says. "It's an awesome word."

Mac scoots a little closer to him. "Is it bad if my head still hurts?"

"If it still hurts in the morning, let me know, and I'll go slit Sweet Dee's tires."

"She almost brained me with those scaly knuckles," Mac whispers, his words slurring.

"Goodnight, Mac."

"Yeah. Goodnight, Dennis."

Sometime, in the middle of the night, Mac rolls over. His snoring is hot on Dennis' neck. Mac hides his face in Dennis' shoulder blades; Dennis smiles. His heartbeat is flush against his skin. He doesn't know why he feels this way - so comfortable and relaxed - around Mac when he's never felt it around anyone else.

Huh.

Maybe Mac just gets him.

Whatever.

Dennis grins and lets sleep tug him under.
