Masterlist

Summary: Years after breaking up, you bump into Benny Miller again one evening at a bar. He was one man you could confidently say you had loved once but you’d both agreed you were better off as friends. When he introduces you to Frankie Morales, you instantly feel connected to the man but unbeknownst to you… You’ll get thrown into a love triangle. The two men crazy about you. Only thing is… you have no idea who to choose.

Relationships: Reader x Ben Miller, Reader x Frankie Morales

Warnings: Like AO3, I choose not to give any warnings. This will be an 18+ fic

Series Masterlist, Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6

War is hell.

You hear it in movies. Read it in books. Nothing can prepare you for the reality of that statement. In the movies though, they make it look so much less hellish than it actually is. War is grown men crying out for their mothers as they lat there desperately trying to hold their guts in. It’s them pissing themselves in fear. Shitting their pants when their life force leaves them.

Their reality right then was what Frank imagined hell to be like.

Bullets seemed to rain down on them left, right and centre. Smoke, ash and fire littered the sky as Frankie tried to steer them out of the line of fire. If anyone had told him that war could be this chaotic before he’d enlisted, he would have never done it. Fear coursed throughout him as he glanced at his co-pilot who had all but lost his nerve. The man was sobbing as he fumbled with the controls but in truth, Frankie was the only one in control. It was his job to get his broths home. Even if it was the last thing he ever did.

He barely heard the bullet pierce the glass. His partner's limp body was what alerted him to the fact that had been hit.

“SHIT.” He yelled as he glanced at his dead comrade.

“What's going on?” Demanded Tom but it took Fish a moment to answer “CATFISH??”

“Mullins is down.” He answered, his voice shaking as he spoke.

“What?” Blurted out Santi “How the-“

He didn’t get to finish his sentence. Next thing they all know, the was a boom and suddenly they were spiralling towards the ground but Fish being the pilot he was, managed to slow their descent.

“Prepare for a crash landing.” He yelled over the comes, straining to keep the bird as steady as he could.

Everyone strapped themselves in and braced themselves for what was to come. The craft was almost at ninety degrees as it plummeted toward the ashen battleground but as they edged closer, Frankie made a manoeuvre that he knew would likely spare his brother’s. But not him.

He said a silent prayer as he watched the ground come up to greet him and then as the bird connected with the earth, they were met with the deafening sound of metal buckling and glass shattering.

Then everything went black.

…

Ben blinked a few times as his head cleared. He could hear someone shouting but the ringing in his ears made it sound muffled and far away. Lifting his head, he noted his brother was calling to him from his seat in the chopper and as things cleared more, he realised it was his brother who was shouting. He then started to look around the rest of the craft and noted that Tom and Santi were also coming around, both looking a little knocked around but otherwise okay.

The smoke hit him next and that's what pulled him back to earth with a bang. Unbuckling his restraints he, along with his brother started to urge the others out but when Ben looked into the cockpit his stomach sank. Mullins lay there, eyes open with a bullet hole to the head and Ben let out a choked sob. He had been the newest member of the team, joining a little over a month ago and he had fit in with ease. Ben then turned his head to see Catfish slumped in his seat. Blook coated one side of his face and his uniform was quickly turning black as blood seeped from the gaping wound to his belly.

"FISH." He yelled as he clambered his way to him "Fuck." Ben choked as he took in the state his comrade was in.

"Ben." Frankie moaned, his eyes cracking open a little.

"I'm here Fish." Ben said gently "I'm gonna get you out brother. I promise you."

"BEN?" Called Tom as he made his way to wear the younger Miller was gently unfastening Frank's restraints "Evac is 5 minutes out." He stated as he took in Fish's condition.

"Tell them they need to get a medical chopper ready. Contusion to the lower left quadrant and a severe head injury." Ben stated, his voice never wavering.

"Copy that." Tom nodded before he head out to make the call.

"Right Fish, this is gonna hurt buddy so I'm sorry." The younger man stated as placed his hands underneath the man's armpits "Okay on three... One... Two... Three."

He pulled Frankie so his top half was towards the entrance to the cockpit, the pilot letting out a guttural scream that made Ben's blood turn to ice in his vanes. In any other situation, there would be a team of people that would be able to cut him out and get him to safety. Now though, they were in hell on earth so no such luxuries could be found.

When Frankie was in position, Ben supported his top half with one arm as he slid his other under the pilot's legs and lifted him, ignoring the pained cries this elicited. Frank's usual golden tone skin had turned a sickly shade of white and a thin layer of sweat glittered on his brow.

He was going into shock.

Ben wasn't an expert on field medicine. That had been Will's area of expertise but he knew enough to know that Fish was in some deep trouble. He needed to get the pilot out and get him stabilised if the man had any chance of making it out of this.

The blonde breathed a sigh of relief when he managed to get them out of the ruined craft and out into the hot, humid air beyond. Tom and Santi had already assembled the stretcher that had been stored in the rear of the craft and Will was prepping what he'd need to get Fish ready to move.

Ben gently placed his brother in arms down on the stretcher before taking his hand and whispering words of comfort as Will started to assess his condition. The younger Miller looked up at his brother and noted the grim expression on his face. He was stupid. He knew that Frank's chances weren't good but he'd be damned if he didn't do everything he could to save him.

After all, he'd done exactly that for all of them.

Ben held Frankie's hand and stroked his hair with the other as the group of them waited for the evac to arrive. They had crashed a fair distance from the active battle and for that they were grateful. They all knew that everything about how and where they crashed was deliberate. Catfish's last attempt to try and get them back safely, even if that didn't include him.

He was selfless to a fault.

When the transport arrived, Ben remained at his friend's side. He talked to him, held his hand and even wiped his tears as the vehicle drove them back to base as quickly as it could.

What felt like hours passed before they were finally within the manned fences of their base. Safe at last but none of them had much time to breathe before they were all whisked off for medical attention.

That was the last mission they ever did.

Standing in front of the mirror, Frankie's fingers traced the silver scar on his stomach. He had been in a coma for two weeks after the crash. The glass shard had pierced his bowel and after hours of surgery, he went on to develop an infection that almost killed him. His doctors told him he'd flatlined twice whilst in his coma. Once in front of Ben when he'd come to visit.

He'd always been grateful that the younger Miller had saved him that day. He'd been ready to die that day but Benny Miller was stubborn and there had been no way he was going to the man clock out. Through tragedy had come a friendship that he'd always thought would be unbreakable and yet everything that had transpired in the last year proved that to be wrong.

"Frankie, you okay?" Came your voice from the other side of the door, a soft knock echoing through the room.

"Yeah, I'll be out in a moment." He replied as he grabbed his t-shirt and pulled it over his head.

You were pouring coffee into two mugs when he emerged into the kitchen. Autumn was strapped to your chest as you floated around the kitchen with ease. You had taken to motherhood like a fish to water. It suited you and you revelled in it.

Autumn had proved to be the ideal first child. She hardly cried except to let you know she was hungry and already at two weeks she was sleeping most of the night. He smiled as he watched you pour creamer into both mugs as you hummed along to the radio, bouncing a little as you went.

His heart swelled as he watched you place a soft kiss on the crown of Autumn's head and he ached to hold you.

"Morning." The new voice made Frankie jump back as if caught doing something he shouldn't "There are my two favourite ladies."

Ben gave you a sweet kiss before leaning down to peck Autumn's cheek and Frank felt a surge of jealousy run through him. It should be him in that picture.

“How you feelin’ this morning Fishsticks?” Asked Ben, pulling the older man out of his thoughts.

“Little stronger.” Frankie replied, giving the man a weak smile before his gaze drifted to you.

He frowned at the expression he saw but it disappeared as quickly as it appeared and then you were unstrapping the baby.

“You want to take her for a while?” You asked and he nodded, taking her eagerly from your arms.

“Morning princessa.” He cooed as she looked up at him with her big eyes.

“Papiiiii.” Screeched Isla as she waddled into the room “Look what I drew.” She exclaimed as she waved some paper above her head with one hand and clung a crayon in the other.

Frank crouched so he could look, gasping as he studied it a moment “Wow, mi corazónc. Esto es increíble.” (Wow, my heart. This is amazing.)

“Gracias, Papi.” She replied bashfully and Frankie smiled.

“I was thinking we could take the girls to the aquarium today.” You stated, grabbing Frank’s attention “Ben’s got to work today so I thought it would be nice for us to do something as a family… You know, if you want to and you’re feeling up to it or whatever.”

“Sounds great.” Frankie replied, smiling sweetly at your nervousness.

“Great, well… I will see you later.” Said Ben as he pulled you in for a kiss “Have fun.” He finished before pulling away. Giving Frankie’s arm a friendly pat and affectionately pinching the apple of Autumn’s cheek.

An awkward silence settled over the kitchen then as Ben left. Frank had been staying with you and Ben since leaving the hospital a week ago. He wasn’t sure how things had ended up this way. The day he’d woken up, you’d kissed him. Gave him hope that perhaps you wanted to try again.

You were sitting at Frankie's bedside, nursing Autumn when the man stirred again. For the past few days, this was how you'd spent your time. Frank was in and out of it but the doctors had told you that he would be for a while, It was hard work waking up. Each time he was conscious though, he seemed to be a little more with it. His eyes shone for Autumn every chance he got a chance to hold her.

Isla had been brought every day also. Sitting with her dad on the bed and telling him about her day with Uncle Will or at playschool. He'd then talk to you for hours about anything and everything but the one thing that wasn't broached... The kiss.

You'd not really seen or spoken to Ben the last few days. Whether he was avoiding you or you just kept missing each other you didn't know. What you did know was that your guilt was eating you alive. His expression when he told you he'd seen you kiss Frankie had haunted your dreams. Played on repeat every moment you weren't distracted by your baby.

Frankie was looking at you differently too. His expression was warm and welcoming every time he saw you. He talked about all the things he wanted to do as a family. Day trips, vacations, all of them including you and excluding Ben.

You wanted the decision to be made for you. You hated how hard it was to choose between the two of them. Because, despite what he did, you loved Ben and he had proved a hundred times over that he loved you too.

But you loved Frankie also.

When you'd learned that it had been because of Ben that he'd broken your heart, all the anger you held towards him died away. You felt nothing but love and admiration for him and the fact you two shared a child together just made those feelings all the more intense.

But you had just spent the better part of a year with Ben. Building a life with him, a home. Were you willing to lose that to try and be a family with Frankie? What if it didn't work out? You'd end up alone. Just you and Autumn. The idea hurt.

This decision was going to mean you lost one of them anyway. You just couldn't bear the idea of being without either of them.

You smiled as you watched Autumn gaze up at the fish in Amazement. Her eyes were the size of planets as she watched the sharks swim overhead as you walked through the tunnel and when she watched the jellyfish as they glowed and danced in their tanks.

Isla had your hand and dragged you to each of the exhibits she wanted to see, demanding you pick her up when she couldn't see.

"Mummy look." Said Isla as she pointed at a sea turtle that swam overhead, seemingly unaware of what she'd just called you.

You and Frankie however were frozen to the spot. A small smile crossed his lips as he watched his daughter tug on your sleeve, pointing at another of the magnificent creatures as it swam over them. His eyes then drifted to you and his stomach dropped. He was at your side in a heartbeat, cupping your cheek in an attempt to get you to look at him.

"Hermosa I'm sorry." He said in a panicky tone, his heart in his throat "She's just a toddler, she doesn't know what she's saying."

"Mummy?" Isla pipped up, her little face scrunching in concern "Why are you crying?"

You choked on a sob before you picked the toddler up and pulled her close, smiling when she placed a kiss on your cheek.

"I'm not sad sweety." You assured her "Why are you calling me mummy sweetheart?" You ask and she gives you a look as if it was obvious.

"You and daddy made Autumn together." She stated matter of factly "She's my sister which makes you my mummy."

'Sweetheart it-"

"If you want me to be your mummy then I would be honoured." You piped up, cutting Frankie off in his tracks.

"I do." She said, nodding with surety and you smiled sweetly at her.

"Okay." You whispered.

The four of you then resumed your trip. Frankie watched you closely as you walked hand in hand with his oldest. Truth be told, he'd hoped that Isla would look at you as a mother one day but that had been when you were together and he could picture your future together.

Now he wasn't so sure how that future would look. Would you let him have Autumn for more than just the weekends? Would the two of you be parents that got on or would you grow to despise him?

"Penny for your thoughts?" You piped up, pulling Frankie from his own head "You were miles away there." You chuckled and he gave you a small smile as he shook his head.

"Sorry I was just... Stuck in my thoughts I guess."

"About?"

"Us." He confessed honestly "How all this is going to work."

"I know what you mean." You replied, your head dropping and suddenly your shoes were the most interesting thing in the room.

"We'll make it work." He piped up, leading the way to the gift shop where Isla was already busy picking out what stuffed fish she wanted.

After paying silly money for a stuffed turtle of Isla and a plush octopus for Autumn, you all decided to stop for a coffee before you headed back. Frank say with Autumn on his lap as he sipped at his coffee and you beside Isla as she babbled away in her highchair.

"Why did you kiss me?" Frankie said suddenly and you startled at it.

"What?"

"In the hospital, the day I woke up, you kissed me." He stated, his eyes drifting to you and you shrunk in your seat under his gaze "You gave me hope that maybe we'd get to be a proper family and then you stay with Ben.

"Frankie I-"

"I know he told you to choose." He interrupted, eyes now fixed on Autumn "I love you. We have a baby together. Don't you think it's worth trying to see if we'd work?"

"Frank, this isn't really the best time to talk about-"

"So when is?" He pushed "When Ben's there to hog your attention and cloud your judgement?"

You were shocked at his bold statement but you knew there was an air of truth to it. You had gone four days before Ben had reappeared all sweetness and kissed and you'd allowed yourself to fall back into that familiar feeling.

"I can't keep sitting there, watching him play house with my family." He stated plainly and you nodded "So I want you to make a decision."

"Frankie." You pleaded but he shook his head.

"I love you. When we were together, I started to picture our future together. We'd get married, have a few kids, and have a dog. Take trips together. I still want all of that with you but I'm not going to wait for you forever."

"What if we don't work?" You asked, your voice shaking "We might crash and burn and then what?"

"We might not." Frankie stated plainly "And I'm inclined to believe that we won't... Because I can and want to give you everything you've ever dreamt of but I'm not sure Ben truly does."

"But he said he's all in."

"But what does that mean?" He asked and you were left without a retort.

Because he was right... What did that mean?

my best friend when I worked at Walgreens was an assistant manger named Mullins and he loved Tom Petty so much and I hated Tom Petty with everything I had in me but we still loved each other in that Walgreens. and we played guitar together when we were off. years after i got fired I found out he cheated on his wife while she was in the hospital after a devastating car crash only bc someone at my next job knew his ex wife's sister. really makes you think. sometimes your best friend is a piece of shit. if they like tom petty that's probably a pretty good indicator.

Release: June 4, 2021

Lyrics:

When you wake up in the morning

And you're shadowed by the darkness of the night

When you wake up in the morning

Darling, I'll be by your side

when you get a little lonely

And you lose your head then don't give up the fight

When you wake up in the morning

Darling, I'll be by your side

when you wake up in the morning

And you're shadowed by the darkness of the night

When you wake up in the morning

Darling, I'll be by your side

I'll be there by your side

I'll be everything you wanted

I'll be there by your side

If you need a light to shine in

I'll be there

Oh-oh

(Darkness of the night) oh-oh

(I'll be by your side) oh

So lift your hand 'cause you know that you can

There'll be fire again in the dark

Hold out your hand, let the stars shoot again

Let the light shine in through the dark

And I'll be there

Songwriter:

I'll be there

(I'll be by your side)

I'll be there

(I'll be by your side, hey)

Calvin Harris / Jamie Scott / John Newman / Michael David Needle / Theo Hutchcraft / Tom Grennan

Indiana Basketball Needs A Change

So before I go too deeply into this, I need to make it abundantly clear that I am not an Indiana alum, nor am I current student at Indiana University. I’m not from Indiana, and truthfully, I’ve never been super invested in the inner workings of Indiana sports. However, that may be why I am qualified to speak on this. I have been a college basketball fan for as long as I can remember, and that means I’ve seen programs rise and fall. I’ve seen the craziest of upsets and most dominant of wins, and all in between, my friends and I seemingly keep saying, “Wouldn’t it be awesome if Indiana was good again?”, and every single year, they severely under perform. Whether it was the Tom Crean era, the Archie Griffin era, or even the shortly lived Kelvin Sampson era, Indiana basketball always finds a way to be below average. And now here we are again. The prodigal son, Mike Woodson, recently took a loss at home against the dregs of the Big Ten this season, Penn State, and everyone immediately got to questioning whether or not he’s the best man for the job. Keep in mind, this is probably the most talented team Woodson has had, bringing in talented freshmen like Gabe Cupps and Mackenzie Mgbako, adding a major transfer in Kel’el Ware, and returning major contributors from last season like Malik Renau, Trey Galloway, and Xavier Johnson. On paper, this team should be well positioned in terms of making the NCAA tournament, and in the conversation for the Big 10 title. Instead, the Hoosiers are 13-9, and well outside the tournament. So what is the problem? Well there’s several problems, the system they play, the contributions from Johnson, and the laziness of the team are all reasons for why the Hoosiers are well out of contention, but if we’re being totally honest, there’s a very obvious problem. I’m not the kind of guy who thinks every coach should be canned because they’re doing badly for one season. Teams have bad seasons from time to time, and it’s perfectly normal. However, when a coach loses his locker room, he’s lost the respect he has gained, and there’s no going back at that point. I’m not in the Indiana locker room, so maybe I’m wrong, but all it takes is watching an Indiana game and you can see the team has no hustle, no motivation. I actually do think Mike Woodson is a good coach as well. He’s not the usual prodigal son, such as Patrick Ewing or Chris Mullin. Sure he didn’t achieve as much as fans wanted with Trayce Jackson Davis, but Indiana was competitive. This season has been different, and it’s not for the better. So which way should Indiana look if they decide to move on from Woodson? Well there’s a lot of options out there. Firstly, the job is massively appealing to a lot of coaches. The contract will make it well worth their time, and the program will be fully behind a coach the boosters believe in, both in NIL and in and fan support. The most obvious name that people are gonna look at is Dusty May at FAU. May just recently signed a new contract, which will make his buyout quite large, but there’s still questions on if the Indiana alum is up for the challenge. May is in 6th season with the Owls, and even though he’s coming right off a Final Four run, May has yet to show that he can have much success outside of last season Cinderella story. Two more names that will surely be brought up are Will Wade and Chris Beard, both of which are basketball exile as of now, but will surely be back at a major job in due time. So what are my thoughts on all of this? Well like I said, I think Coach Woodson has lost the locker room, but I don’t know if that’s necessarily on him. I certainly think it’s too early to judge him off 2/3 of a bad season, but on the flip side, I’m not entirely sure if he can get you back to the promised land. Hell I’m not sure if they can ever make it back at this point. One thing I do know is this; College basketball has the highest highs and the lowest lows, and once you’ve hit rock bottom, it’s hard to get back.

By Jennifer Bendery

Huffington Post

Nov 12, 2022

As the dust settles from Tuesday’s midterm elections, a disturbing trend in the GOP is coming into focus: More than 160 Republicans will be in Congress in 2023 who have either denied or cast doubts on Democrat Joe Biden’s presidential win in 2020.

Some will be at the highest levels of House leadership, setting the agenda for the chamber for the next two years. Some are seasoned U.S. senators with presidential ambitions. Some will be brand new to Capitol Hill.

But what these people all have in common is that they made the political calculation that it benefited their career to fuel the lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump because of widespread voter fraud.

They’ve done it in different ways. Some have bluntly claimed the election was stolen. Some joined lawsuits to try to throw out the results of the 2020 election. Some have tried to have it both ways, by saying, of course, Biden is the president ― while refusing to address the validity of the election, a common dog whistle among Republicans afraid of upsetting Trump’s base of supporters by admitting Biden beat him in 2020, fair and square.

A preemptive note: Some Republicans on this list will probably deny that they belong here (like, say, Sen. Rick Scott) and insist, perhaps with annoyance, that they have long said that Biden is the president. Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) has clashed with fellow Republicans who have falsely said that Democrats stole the 2020 presidential election, and he recently called out election deniers for privately admitting that they know what they say in public is a lie. But he’s on this list, too.

HuffPost is using the term “election denier” to refer to Republicans who claimed the 2020 presidential election was stolen or alleged widespread voter fraud; who voted to object to certifying Biden’s Electoral College votes (hi, Sen. Scott); who supported partisan reviews of ballots in 2020 swing states; who signed a bogus lawsuit alleging “an unprecedented number of serious allegations of fraud and irregularities” in the 2020 election in a brief to the Supreme Court; or who attended or expressed support for the Jan. 6, 2021, “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington that led to an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Taking it to a new level, one incoming member of Congress, Republican Rich McCormick of Georgia, lamented earlier this year that “no one was hurt by voter fraud more than myself” when he lost his congressional bid in 2020. There was no evidence of fraud in his election. He just lost ― by more than 10,000 votes.

Below is a running list of all of the election deniers who will be in the House and Senate starting in January. Italicized names mean they are new to Congress. This list will be regularly updated until it is final.

Election deniers in the Senate:

Ted Cruz (R-Texas)

Josh Hawley (R-Mo.)

Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.)

John Kennedy (R-La.)

Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.)

Ted Budd (R-N.C.)

Katie Britt (R-Ala.)

Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.)

Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.)

J.D. Vance (R-Ohio)

Election deniers in the House:

Robert Aderholt (R-Ala.)

Mark Alford (R-Mo.)

Rick Allen (R-Ga.)

Jodey Arrington (R-Texas)

Brian Babin (R-Texas)

Jim Baird (R-Ind.)

Jim Banks (R-Ind.)

Cliff Bentz (R-Ore.)

Jack Bergman (R-Mich.)

John Carter (R-Texas)

Ben Cline (R-Va.)

Michael Cloud (R-Texas)

Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.)

Tom Cole (R-Okla.)
