loses my mind that they’ve known each other for over a year at that point (even if first four months was just bumping into each other at her work or around the city a bunch) but like um [redacted] was fascinated by her right away… which quickly turned into a weird obsession of wanting to figure her out… and he still hasn’t admitted mayhaps he had caught feelings a bit too quickly… hence the not date definitely dates… whereas diana like definitely started trusting him (in certain aspects) and kinda i guess maybe considered him something of a friend (which she didn’t know she needed) and recently she came to the realisation that somewhere along the line she caught feelings….
#as you can tell i’m very normal about their pre events set in game relationship :) majority of my fics and thoughts are written before they#get married lmao i literally can’t stop… and then most are after game where he lichrally Dies because i said my canon my rules he lives#cause i said so <3 but only have a bit of stuff for everything in between rip… i just love them a lot okay? they mean Everything to me… he#isn’t necessarily interested in sex (hello have talked about this on last six sentence sunday hi hello or my discord essay lmaoooo) but she#initiated things originally and he went oh?? another way i can get under the skin of dr diana sharp??? wanting to get be proud of making her#fall apart and get a bit of an ego boost that she wanted him so bad lmao but that eventually turned into wanting to figure out everything#that made her feel good because he’s a clown 🤡 big honking red nose and clown shoes. the whole nine yards. but it’s a VERY trusting and just#kinda experimental situation for them both and he’s always checking in on her and being such a guy so yeah. lots of thoughts and feelings.#and then sherry asks a question that makes them both go uhhhhhhhhh and she is a bit of a shit here but it makes him genuinely uncomfortable#so she apologises for that and tells him she’s not concerned with putting a label on Whatever is going on between them and she just enjoys#his company and like he’s like it’s cool it’s fine it was a joke… and it’s like a day he is getting a shocking migraine so like she ends up#staying and noticing he seems really off and she ends up taking care of him… maybe one day will post that whole situation when i rewrite it.#but now they’ve actually acknowledged that there is a Thing going on and while no labels or feelings are said like something definitely#shifts a bit over the next few weeks…… like am very not normal over them you don’t understand#oh and um. of course. diana is a brat :)#runs away at full speed#OH ALSO and that night of just nothing spicy happening between them happening just her being there and wanting to help him makes her realise#over the next few days like Oh Shit i care about him a lot omg i care about him oh no i think i have feelings oh god#leah.txt

MEE RELEASE THE ARCHIVES BABE
Thank you for this. It kick started my creativity. I have soooo many WIPs that I'm excited to show you guys and my ideas need somewhere to land, so why not here.
I'm also gonna link this to my Masterlist so I can link the finished products to both and people are able to choose how they decide which fic to read.
(A bunch of barely coherent brainstorming under the cut 😚 And this apparently will be changing and updated whenever I think of it so keep checking back 💖)
Works in progress/ideas by driver:
Lewis Hamilton
- Something with the vibe of Angel of Mine by Monica because that song reminds me of him every time it comes on and I desperately want to try writing for Lewis again
Another song one. Ours by Taylor Swift. You both are very busy but very in love and will always make time for each other. No matter what.
Max Verstappen
Raincheck sneak peek here (Intense hatred between Max and the reader can only last so long.)
Big brother Max trying to help his sister out but is block by his father at EVERY TURN. (Tyla faceclaim and the request alone has me obsessed with her now. I absolutely love her.
Different things to add to Repeat That Au; Big sister, best friend and a lot of pregnancy talk (including something that links in the On Display Au courtesy of my ♥️ anon)
Lando Norris
Lando flirting with his PR manager who is a few years older.
Two words: Uncle. Lando.
Something to the song Making Whoopee by Frank Sinatra bc Lando seems like the type of guy to do anything for the girl he wants to fu k really badly. Wedding. Home. Baby. Whole nine yards. Big simp energy. The best type of energy
More from the Valentine Au because it's cute and I love it
Lance Stroll
Fake dating. We love when besties fake date and fall in love 😙
Oscar Piastri
Oscar loves his wife. Talks about her all the time. But no one knows they're married??? A little sneaky peek (that is barely put together):
"Your girlfriend is into astrology. I made the mistake of telling her my birthday." Lando spoke, twirling his flags, not seeing the extremely confused look Oscar was giving him.
"Girlfriend?" Lando looked up at his teammate and given him an equally confused face, believing his comment was quite clear.
"Uh, yeah? Yn?" Lando was so matter of fact, and yet had no idea how wrong he was.
"Yn's my wife. We're married."
"BUT YOU'RE BABIES!?"
"YOU'RE TWO YEARS OLDER THAN US!
More for Girl Almighty bc we have to see how the reader and Oscar do driving against each other
Charles Leclerc
Cocoa Butter Kisses-Charles is mesmerizing by your everything shower routine and how good you smell when you're done
Rockstar-undercover soft girl-reader; another smutty one; just gotta figure out the direction I was to take it
Wedding Night-Self explanatory;smut and aftercare (almost done with the smut, just gotta do the aftercare)
More stuff from My Biggest Fan Au bc who doesn't love Charles and Gianna 🥹
Something to I Wish by 1D with Pierre. You and Charles are literally the perfect couple. The entire way through. (See the ideas for Pierre for his part in the plot)
Logan Sargeant
Thanksgiving with the Fam and our very own Mr. America gets to experience a black Thanksgiving (yes I did get that suggestion right after Thanksgiving. Let's not talk about that 😔)
Something with the vibe of Wouldn't it be Nice by The Beach Boys bc apparently I think Logan is the purest little boy on the grid and just wants to live a happy life with his girlfriend
Carlos Sainz
More for Mírame Au (stay tuned bc there will come a time where I open request for suggestions for this 😚)
Esteban Ocon
Man's will be pining for Lewis' personal assistant and it will become a viral F1 moment.
Daniel Ricciardo
Reader can't stand sisters new boyfriend, and Daniel can't stand the fact that his girlfriends identical twin sister hates him, but feelings change, just not for the better
Handled: The Backstory (How reader and Daniel meet and fall for each other 😚) yes it will be smutty
Something based off the song "Would You Go with Me" because it is very Daniel and I don't know how to explain it
What do you think the opposite of On Display would be? (Hint: jealous Danny 😚)
More for On Display, but I might make her an OC to make another fic suggestion (look under Max ideas) a bit easier to write.
Fernando Alonso
Fernando and reader are literally each other's muse, he talk about her all the time and he inspires and entire album (and makes his music video debut)
Fernando gets some plants to impress reader; now he the plant dad to her plant mom and it's an inside jokes between family and friends
Fernandos favorite pass time is picking the readers hair color
Sebastian Vettel
Sebastian only wants one thing: For everyone to know how much he loves his ballerina girlfriend. Another little sneak peek (that, again, is just barely put together):
"Yes. You are in the presence...of the first...black Sugar Plum Fairy for the New York City Ballet." Your cheeks were sore from smiling, but nothing could dull your shine right now. Your friends that were hovering around you finally crowd around and give you tight loving squeezes, greeting Sebastian on your phone and bragging on your accomplishment.
"Sebastian! How does it feel to be dating the best principal dancer in the history of the New York City Ballet?" Your friend, Julia, hooks her arms over your shoulders and presses her mouth to your temple.
"I'm just glad I get to be her boyfriend. That's my title now. Sebastian Vettel, boyfriend Yn, New York City Ballett Principal Dancer and first black NYCB Sugar Plum Fairy.
Pierre Gasly
Introducing new OC!Eve (Chloe Bailey faceclaim);my way of introducing the readers sister into the Repeat That Au; we get to start off with a small backstory
I Wish-1D; Pierre's got it BAD. Go listen to the song. His POV is the song. It's heartbreaking and I love it so much. Probably one of the first fics that doesn't have a happy ending.
Maxiel
Trying get someone to buy you and Daniel a drink goes wrong

How about an NSFW one where Paul Stanley gets pranked by a rocker dudette fan (I'm talking leather jacket, jeans, wristbands, band t shirt underneath, the whole nine yards) but then it turns into a little something spicy *Wink Wink*🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tumblr media
Prank call gone wrong
Pairings: Paul Stanley x Fem!reader
Warnings: smut, rough sex, degradation, dumbifacation, size kink, and I think that’s it.
A/n: this might be my longest one yet
Summary: your prank on Paul Stanley goes amazingly wrong.
You’ve found the number to Paul’s hotel room. You’re still stoked that you’re staying in the same hotel as him! You had a couple hours to spare before the Kiss concert and you wondered if he was still in his room or if he was at the stadium. Either way, you wanted to prank call him.
Having thought of a script before hand, you excitedly dialed the number. How you got the number? You overheard a groupie telling it to her friend. And you have a pretty good memory.
It rang for a few seconds before he answered, “Hello?” His voice sent chills down your spine. God you love his voice. “Oh my god, Robert is that you? You’re with another girl aren’t you?” You responded trying your best to sound like an angry girlfriend.
“Umm my names not Robert I think you have the wrong-“
“Okay, so you’re just gonna pretend it’s not you. I’m not stupid, Robert. You’re with Brenda aren’t you? That skank.”
“I-“
“We were supposed to get married, Robert. How could you? I hate you so much pack all of your shit and get out of my house.” You fake cried before slamming the phone down. You laughed maniacally before deciding to go down to the hotel restaurant to get a bite to eat before the concert.
Paul was confused. So he asked Gene about it. “You’ve been prank called.” The bassist replied simply.
“‘Prank called’ what does that mean?” The singer asked.
“You can’t be that stupid. Put the two words together. Prank and call.”
Paul then realized what Gene was talking about. “So some chick just prank called me that’s great. Who was it? Because she woke me up from my sleep.” He grumbled. The other man shrugged his shoulders.
-at the concert-
You standing amongst the rest of the screaming fans as Kiss made their grand entrance onto the stage. As usual it was epic. Pyrotechnics, lights, dancers. And of course, the music. You were right up against the barricade. “Wooo! Hell yes!” You yelled as you did the rock n roll sign with your hands.
For some reason during the show, Paul kept looking at you. Which made you flustered. Who wouldn’t be? The show went on and after it ended, you waited to be one of the last to leave so you wouldn’t have to deal with the crowd.
You walked, the stadium was pretty much empty, you were alone. You felt someone grab your shoulder. You turned to see non other than the Starchild himself.
“Holy shit Paul Stanley!” You shouted but not too loud. “Shut up, people will hear. Now come with me.” He hissed before gripping your arm tightly and dragging you to his dressing room.
He slammed the door shut and pushed you against it. His grip firm on both of your arms as he looked down at you. “So, you’re the one who prank called me?” He asked.
“How’d you find out?” You asked in response.
“I have my ways. I just want you to know that you disturbed my sleep and you should know I need every hour of it.”
You rolled your eyes, “Okay? So you dragged me all the way here just so you could complain that my little call woke you up?”
“You better watch that mouth, missy.”
“Oh yeah? What are you gonna do about it?”
“I’ll give you something better to do with it.” As he said this, Paul undid his belt before pulling down his pants and boxers. His large cock sprang free and your eyes widened. He used his other hand to pulled you down onto your knees.
“You gonna suck my cock like a good girl?” The singer asked as he stroked his large cock in front of you. You were shocked by the whole situation. How did it lead to this? Not like you’re complaining, though.
You moved to grab his thighs to stable yourself but was quickly stopped. “Ah, ah. Hands behind your back.” And so, you put your hands behind your back allowing him full control over you. Paul grabbed your hair and pushed his cock in your mouth. You closed your lips around his length before he began bobbing your head back and forth.
“Fuck, you have such a good mouth, baby. This is all you’re good for isn’t it? Such a dumb little thing that only knows how to suck dick.” The singers’ filthy words made you extremely wet. He continued to fuck your face before pulling you off his cock. “I see my cock barely fit in your mouth, didn’t it? You’re so fucking tiny it’s pathetic. I can rip you in two if I wanted.”
Paul grabbed your hair to pull you up, and he dragged you over to the couch and sat down pulling you onto his lap so you were straddling him. You could feel his hard cock through your leather pants. You started to grind on him as the two of you made out.
The singer began to kiss your neck down to your collarbone before throwing your leather jacket off your shoulders. A tank top with his face on it was underneath. He smirked, “Well, I see you must really like me huh?”
“I just like your voice.” You lied.
“Are you sure you don’t like my dick too?” He chuckled when your face went red. He pulled his shirt off before pulling yours off, groaning when he saw you wore nothing underneath. The raven haired man massaged your breasts, tweaked your nipples and bit and sucked on them. You were in complete bliss.
In one swift motion you were laid on your back. He was roughly taking your boots off and pulling your pants and panties down. You instinctively spread your legs.
“You think I’m gonna lick that pussy after what you’ve done? You’re just gonna lay there take my cock like a good slut.” He said before ramming into you without warning. You squealed in both pain and surprise. “Oh my god you’re so fucking tight. My cock can barely even fit this tiny pussy.” Paul moaned as he began to pump in and out of your tight wet hole.
You couldn’t think straight at all. You only laid there as Paul fucked you, used you. But oh you fucking loved it.
He pulled you up so you were straddling him again, his cock still inside you. The singer gripped your hips and slammed you up and down on his large cock.
“You like this baby? Bet you didn’t think about this when you called me today huh?” You couldn’t respond to him, and he was getting a kick out of it.
“Aww is my baby going all dumb on my cock? You had so much to say moments ago.”
You gripped his shoulders as he used you as a flesh light, feeling yourself get closer and closer to the edge. You finally clenched around him, “Ah!” You screamed in surprise.
“Fuck that was hot. Get on your knees again.” The singer commanded. You quickly got on your knees and grabbed his cock, putting it into your mouth sucking hard and fast, wanting his cum more than anything.
Paul put his hands behind his head as he leaned back with a cocky smile. “Yeah, you want my cum don’t you? Pathetic, really.” You jerked him off a couple times before his cum squirted all over your face.
Tears were in your eyes cause some of it got in them. Your mascara was smeared and so was your lipstick. Your hair disheveled and cum all over your face. “You look so fucking beautiful like this. Get cleaned up, I’ll give you my number for next time.”

baby time | mickey “fanboy” garcia
Description: you and mickey have been trying for a baby until one day he comes home to a surprise.
Warnings: implied smut??
Pairing: mickey “fanboy” garcia x fem reader
Author's Note: i'm usually not a fan of pregnancies in stories?? idk why but this is based off of a dream that i had a few weeks ago and thought it was really funny bc i could see this happen lmaooo + ALSO this is the first fic i’m posting pls be nice 🥲
Tumblr media
You and Mickey had been married for almost a few years now, and it was the best thing ever. Living the married life with him was so much more fun than you had expected. He had always been very thoughtful and romantic from the beginning of your relationship, and you loved that about him. But as a husband? He was ten times more affectionate and attentive. Mickey would go the whole nine yards, doing all the domestic things with you, taking you out on fun dates, and bringing you home flowers for no reason. You were the luckiest girl alive.
Mickey was already an amazing husband, and sometimes you think to yourself, "what more if he was a dad?". There was no uncertainty in the fact that you and Mickey would eventually have a family, but it wasn't something that the two of you wanted right away either. When you first got married, you were immediately bombarded with questions like "when is the baby coming?" or "how many kids are you having?". It was so embarrassing, and you felt so much pressure the more you heard those questions. But Mickey assured you that he would only be ready whenever you were, and that we wasn't in a rush to start.
But you thought it was about time that you did. So you and Mickey have been trying for a while now. The two of you have tried so many different positions, and have done it in almost every corner of your shared home together. It was really fun, and sometimes you even forget that you were even trying for a baby.
It had been a long day at work for Mickey. He loved his job, there was no doubt in that. But he loved coming home to you a whole lot more. Especially now that he had some important tasks to attend to with you.
Right after being dismissed by Maverick, Mickey immediately ran to his car and drove off so fast away from the base. It had been like that for the past couple of weeks, not even bothering to say goodbye to the Dagger Squad all because he was in a rush to come home and fuck his pretty wife.
Mickey parks his car in front of the driveway of your shared home and strides to the porch with so much excitement. He opens the door not very subtly and kicks off his shoes. Making his presence known, he yells from the entrance hallway, "Honey, I’m home! It's baby time!"
Mickey doesn't even bother waiting for a response because as soon as he enters the living room, three pairs of eyes staring right at him.
Your parents.
Shitshitshitshitshitshit.
The room fell silent as Mickey stood there awkwardly, fidgeting with the zipper of his flight suit. He realizes he's making the situation a whole lot worse by standing there like an idiot. He straightens his stance and opens his mouth to apologize. Before he could even utter a word, you stood up to greet him with a kiss on his lips.
"Mickey! You're home early." you say.
"Y-yeah. Kinda. Mav had to be somewhere so he let us go..." Mickey quietly said.
“Okay, that’s good. I’m glad you’re home.” you say as you kiss him one more time on the cheek.
Your parents remained seated on the couch as the two of you stood there. While your mother awkwardly smiled, your father was blinking wildly at your husband.
“Well, Mickey, it’s nice to see you again. How is work?” your mother inquired.
“It’s really good, Mrs. Y/L/N. I- uh, I didn’t know you’d be visiting today.”
“Oh we were just in the area and thought we’d say hello.”
Before the silence could get anymore awkward, your father stood up and huffed in what seemed like utter disbelief.
“Well, it seems like we should get going then. We wouldn’t want to keep you from your ‘baby time’.”
“Dad!”
“Mr. Y/L/N, I’m really sorry— that was very inappropriate of me and I-“
“Nonsense, Mickey! It’s about time you had children of your own now anyway.” Your mother said.
After saying farewell to Mickey and you, your parents eventually left. You stifled a laugh as soon as you heard the door close and turned to face your embarrassed husband.
“Amor, come on now that’s not funny!”
“I’m sorry, baby. Your timing is just impeccable, that’s all.”
Mickey pouted at your teasing, which only caused you to plant kisses all over his face. Eventually, he gave in. Wrapping his strong arms around your waist, he kisses you softly on the lips. It starts off slow, and lovingly, until you felt Mickey’s warm hands slide under your shirt. You pull away just a little bit to give your husband a knowing look.
“So... baby time?”

(Just Married)
((Can y’all believe I haven’t posted about their first ‘wedding’??))
The plan was simple but very risky. And ideally, they wouldn’t have to get heavily disguised to go down to the court house, but they had both agreed they wanted this.
The ceremony was planned for next week, the whole nine yards of a nice wedding with family and friends then getting absolutely wasted after the fact and stumbling their way home to celebrate some more… but Kerry knew V. He knew Vax. The man he loved was lowkey, liked things simple. So naturally, they were getting married in private a week early.
Kerry had proposed on the roof of Dark Matter, Vax finally being able to stand without help. Though when he saw the ring, Kerry was convinced he was going to fall off the roof from shock. Luckily, the man sat next to him, unable to stop smiling.
Vax had never signed a document faster. He had legally changed his last name to Eurodyne about a month ago, when they decided to have a private wedding before the actual ceremony. But seeing Vax Eurodyne on an official document made it all more real.
They were really doing this. They were getting married. He watched Kerry sign the papers, no hesitation or concern in his face when he did. Signed everything in that pretty signature of his and slid them back over to the officiant.
Vax’s hands were shaking, not from nerves they just did that now thanks to the relic. But Kerry was there to steady them, rubbing his knuckles as they repeated the vows. They had private ones planned for next week, V had asked if they could do them in private but Kerry said he wanted them public… and who was Vax to argue with his husband?
“I now pronounce you husband and husband, you may now kiss the groom.”
Kerry did not wait. He pulled Vax closer for their first kiss as husbands. It went on longer than necessary but it was worth everything to V.
He totally didn’t have tears in his eyes when Kerry pulled away, taking his hand again. They had their rings on now, but would take them off for the ceremony next week, to give them back to each other. It was probably more complicated than it needed to be, but V had wanted privacy with their first week of marriage and this how he knew to get it.
The two walked outside, Kerry sipping his jacket all the way and fixing his sunglasses. Vax did the same, despite not really needing too. But god that was the last thing either of them wanted, to be found out so soon.
“I could really go for some sushi now.” V stated, opening the passenger door for Kerry.
“I could do sushi.” Kerry couldn’t wipe the smile off his face. He was practically glowing, despite the disguise.
When V got back in, Kerry was already putting in their order to pick up and take home. It was a good thing neither were big on people sometimes, but also V could not think of a better way to spend their first night married eating sushi and watching whatever weird old movie Kerry would put on for them.
“Hey.” Vax leaned over the center console.
“Yeah?” Kerry didn’t even jump when he saw how close V was.
“We just got married.”
Kerry smiled, looking at Vax dead on. No looking away or avoiding his eyes.
“Fuck yeah we did.”
For the second time, they kissed as husbands. And it felt right.

What do you mean about fate and FS and Moustead?
Hello! Thank you for falling for my lil trap!
There is so much because I'm longwinded, have fun with this I got too excited getting to put this all into words.
I've been against using "fate" as an argument for FitzSimmons, specifically, since... 2017? Yeah, that's when that half of s4 aired. I'll give you a SparkNotes version, for anyone who didn't watch Agents of SHIELD - Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons, who I do love as a ship in the early seasons, I have nothing against the ship specifically, just the "they're fated to be together" argument. They met at the SHIELD academy when they were kids, when Jemma sat next to Fitz in a class and they became... friends? They both thought the other hated them and they were gonna be rivals, while secretly admired each other and how smart they were the whole time. Anyway, now they're married and have a daughter, which is cute as shit, good for them, this is not an anti-FitzSimmons post.
I don't think they're fated to be together.
I use the Framework-created alternate reality to make this point every time. In that reality, Ophelia is the one who sat next to Leopold, and that butterfly effects into them being in a relationship down the line. Ophelia specifically set it up to be that way, I get that, I know that's how the Framework arc worked. My username was HoldenDadcliffe across most social media for 4 years, I know what I'm talking about. But the argument could be made that Fitz would have ended up with anyone who sat next to him in class and engaged with him, whether as a friend or a presumed rival or what have you. That's the only point I want to make. It could have been anyone. In the real world, it was Jemma. In the Framework, it was Ophelia. It could have been Matt, my Bruises Verse OC, it could have been anyone. It was the situation that brought them together, not the universe. That doesn't make the relationship any less important or genuine, it's just a fact.
Anyway, I would argue that Moustead is fated to be in each other's lives, especially if we take the possibilities in Bolivia into account. Not necessarily in a romantic way, because soulmates, or whatever you want to call it, don't have to be romantic. I just think they're meant to exist in the world together, and the universe seems to be encouraging that.
For instance, in Afghanistan, Jay did make friends with Knox first. In canon. They were close, they built explosives together, had to rely on each other to survive, the whole nine yards. They were halfway around the world with only their team to count on and trust. They had to be a family to stay alive. And then Knox did everything he did, and that friendship was obviously completely ruined after that, which meant that one of Jay's most important relationships at the time was just... decimated. He had to find someone who he could actually rely on, someone who wouldn't murder civilians because he wasn't taught to handle his emotions in a healthy way.
Mouse wasn't exactly handling his emotions in a healthy way, either, but at least his poor coping mechanisms didn't have a civilian body count, you know? Like, the only person he hurts is himself? It's fine, he gets better, eventually. But the idea of the universe seeing Jay make a friend, and going "wait, no, not that one, come back here" is just so... *chef's kiss* It's just a coincidence, at that point, but there sure are a lot of coincidences, aren't there?
He gets attached to the one other person from Chicago. The one other person who survived that war zone with him. The one person who kept him sane - who he also kept sane - when they got home and had to navigate civilian life again.
They just work, you know? They balance each other out in so many ways. Jay is absolutely driven by his heart - he wants to help people, he wants to put good into the world and take bad out, he wants to fall in love and have a constant presence in his life. On the other hand, Mouse is driven by his head - he's so smart, and he uses that to learn about computers and the world around him, and he has great ideas. They both rely on those opposites so much that it hurts them. Jay holds onto relationships until they tear him apart. Mouse thinks things through so much that he had to turn to drugs to keep himself from unraveling.
They even go so far as to completely reject those opposites in themselves. If Jay used his head, he'd know to let go of relationships and connections long before they hurt him the way the do. If Mouse used his heart, he'd be less untethered, he'd have more connections to his Chicago life than just Jay. Of course, all of my labels for them are just headcanons, but Jay being aspec and Mouse being arospec adds to this so beautifully.
Even if it is all coincidence, that balance is so important to their relationship. If one goes too far, the other can pull them back, and they really make up one fully functional human being together. They share a braincell, for sure, and Mouse usually has it. Jay certainly didn't have it in s5, that's a fact.
I think, with Jay leaving the show - and rehashing the same speech that Mouse gave him with only slightly different wording - the universe might be pushing them together again? Obviously, canon hasn't mentioned Mouse since s4, and we're never going to know if they're actually serving their country together again, but I can pretend. I can pretend that the person Jay called his best friend is still in his life, somehow.
But especially with how s9 went, and that whole year leading up to Jay leaving for Bolivia...
Even just starting with the Knox episode, 9x03, that had to bring up memories that he hasn't thought about in a while. I'm almost certain that he came across a few pictures of Mouse while he was doing his digging, even if we didn't get to seem them on screen.
After that, I want to bring up 9x09. Lovingly, the rushed marriage episode. (I love Upstead, but their romance arc was rushed and if they, the writers, had taken the time to develop the relationship more, they could have navigated the distance much more easily, or at least put off the actual wedding until Jay made his way through his crisis and they were both in a more stable place, but that's just my opinion and not the point of this post, ignore me) I just think about that episode a lot in a Moustead context because of what made Jay panic and rush into it like that. They had to get the FBI off of Voight and Hailey, obviously, but the steps they took had to be personal to him, at least in the context of his friendship with Mouse. A young, queer-coded drug addict, who was the same age that Mouse was when they met, using him and this weakness (that Jay canonically doesn't judge, he literally gave Mouse drug money in s1) and holding that over his brother as leverage, it's... He saw the lowest point of his best friend's life right in front of his face, something that he couldn't fix before and can't fix now, and Jay...
Jay, who just wants to help people, and put some more good into the world, and fix things because he hasn't had much control in his life and now he's older and stronger and he can do something. He used this intimate knowledge he has of people in that situation for his own personal gain, in a way, and doesn't that make him feel so dirty? But he can't think about it too hard, because he's not the one who uses his head. Mouse is his head, the one who would have actually said out loud how stupid and reckless and horrible that idea was and how they shouldn't do it. Because it was exploiting a literal child, who didn't do anything wrong beyond giving into vices. But Jay... Jay is the heart. He finds someone he cares about and he holds on so tight. And he was already engaged to Hailey, so what's the harm in moving the wedding up?
He'd already lost the person he'd been thinking about for months, and it's not like he could just call and ask Mouse to come back to Chicago, not after how things ended. But he could hold onto the people he loved who were close. He could turn an engagement into a marriage. He could insert himself further into Voight's bullshit. He could cement himself in the team and focus on what he had, not what he missed.
Then there was Adam's undercover thing, and the overdose, and even if November 2011, specifically, is from my headcanons, how many times did Jay worry? How many times did he text or call or pop by to make sure that Mouse was high but not in danger? How much did he check in after Mouse's multiple felonies and other petty crimes and make sure he was okay and alive? How many times did Jay have to worry, over their 10+ year friendship, that he'd lost someone he cares about so much?
And then there's s10, with his exit, and that entire episode doing the exact same thing to me, emotionally. 10x03, my beloved, my ride or die, my defining moment... A veteran is doing his best, getting pulled into crime just to pull himself afloat, getting hurt and getting himself killed through that. Isn't that something Jay has seen before? Just with a less tragic finale? Of course he helped clear up the guy's record, so that his family could still get the benefits, and all of that wasn't done for nothing. And then...
He left. He went back to the army, however loosely, basically quoted Mouse's reasons for why - because how else would he explain it? The logic is sound, of course it is, the head handles the logic. Jay just followed the logic laid out for him six years earlier, when his heart finally caught up with it.
And the idea that they somehow ended up in the same area again? Working together and rekindling their friendship now that they're finally on the same page? What else could that be?
It's fate.

kagakuro month | day 2: family | fluff
It was Kuroko who always prided himself on being the one with foresight in their relationship. The week before Kagami’s 34th birthday, he watched the long line of Kagami’s back and fretted over the eventual midlife crisis he knew was coming. The ‘R’ word, people in Kagami’s line of work liked to call it. Aomine, on the other hand, called it a death sentence, preferring to play till his 90s — and then after that, in the afterlife (if there was one). 
Whatever one preferred to call it, it was still a serious life change and there was no better time than a birthday to start freaking out about that.
Kuroko anticipated it. He had his hackles raised, and he was ready for all possible conversations and worries Kagami would lob at him, the misery that he would eventually have to stop soaring and come back down like the rest of them. 
But Kagami seemed casual as ever, even as the eve of August 2nd approached. 
They were sitting together in bed, Kuroko pretending to watch the news and Kagami messing around on his phone. 
“What do you want to do for your birthday?” Kuroko prompted, wondering if Kagami had magically forgotten somehow. 
Kagami looked up from his phone and frowned. “Didn’t we have reservations at Goldburger?” 
“We do.” They’d booked the whole place out for an hour. "It's just." 
"Just?" 
"Kagami-kun is surprisingly cavalier about growing older," Kuroko said finally, after weeks of holding it in. "And what that means for his basketball." 
"Hah?" Kagami asked lazily, still unchanged. "I'm not too worried about that, I guess."
"No?" 
"I mean," He shrugged. "It's natural, right? I don't wanna be one of those guys who hangs on by the skin of his teeth because he's in denial about his expiry date. Not fair to the team, not a decent ending to everything I've worked for in my career. I fought a lot of strong guys, so I'm not too sad about quitting when I'm done." He rubbed his knee absently. 
Kuroko paused. Although he should have been used to Kagami's occasional wisdom, it still took him by surprise every now and then. 
"Why, were you worried?" Kagami glanced at Kuroko and grinned, holding one hand out for Kuroko to take. 
"I was expecting a midlife crisis, I suppose," Kuroko admitted, running his fingers over Kagami’s rough, basketball-worn palm. 
"Besides," Kagami added softly. "Basketball's great but I have other stuff on my bucket list too, you know." 
Kuroko raised a brow. “Such as?” 
Kagami shrugged, but didn’t look at him. “Y’know. Marriage. Kids. The whole nine yards.” The last part he said in English, and when he spotted the puzzled look on Kuroko’s face, he ran the back of one hand against his cheek. “Wanna do everything with you,” he translated, the usual ember intensity in his eyes turning into a softer, different kind of intensity. 
“Kagami-kun wants to adopt?” Kuroko asked, pleasantly surprised. 
“Yeah, I mean. I haven’t thought about it too deeply or anything, but you know we’ve got the house — or heck, we could even go back to Japan. Right?” He glanced at Kuroko warily and frowned at his giddy, overjoyed expression. “Don’t make fun of me, I’m just throwing ideas out.” 
“I wasn’t,” Kuroko promised. “It just sounded like you had been thinking about it pretty deeply. I’m happy.” 
The sharp line of Kagami’s frown softened. “Yeah?” 
Kuroko leaned up and kissed the corner of his mouth. “Absolutely.” He was about to lean back, but Kagami quickly held the back of his head and stole another kiss before letting him go. “I want to start a family with you too." He paused. "Though, that was a rather poor proposal, Kagami-kun."
"That wasn't me proposing, idiot!" Kagami squawked. "I don't even have a ring!"
Kuroko blinked. "Well I expect one."
"Okay."
"An expensive one," Kuroko added.
"Sure."
"With a diamond basketball on top," he continued, just to push the boundaries because he was a little shit.
"Okay, okay!" Kagami burst. "If I get you a stupid ring, do you wanna maybe get married and have a few kids or whatever?"
"Kagami-kun," Kuroko said seriously. "I have already decided on the names of our future children."
"Now I know for a fact that you're making fun of me," Kagami grumbled, ears red.
Kuroko cupped his face, deciding he'd teased him enough. "Yes." He pressed a kiss against Kagami's mouth. "It would absolutely delight me to start a family with you and welcome more light into my already bright and colorful life."
"Should have just left it at 'yes,' dumbass," Kagami muttered, but he looked happy too, and really, that was all that mattered to Kuroko.

i. “take me down easy” - james henry jr. // ii. “avocado, baby” - los campesinos! // iii. “a horse with no name” - america
( yahya abdul-mateen ii, cis man, he/him ) — Look who it is! If you take a look at our database, you’ll find that LEVI ST. JAMES is a THIRTY-SIX year old VETERINARIAN that’s been in Chicago for TEN YEARS. According to the file, they’re a mutant on LEVEL TWO with the power of FIRE HORSE PHYSIOLOGY. That must be why they’re PASSIONATE and ASSERTIVE. If you ask me, they remind me of a liquor bottle marked by days, blazing chariots with no riders, an empty house where once there was a home. They are affiliated with NOBODY.
QUICK FACTS:
full name: levi joshua st. james
date of birth: april 30th, 1987
zodiac big three: taurus sun, leo moon, capricorn rising
gender & pronouns: cis man & he/him
sexual orientation: bisexual
ethnicity: black
nationality: american
languages spoken: english (5), spanish (4), french (4), italian (4)
enneagram: 1w2
mbti: istp
temperament: phlegmatic
alignment: lawful neutral
ability: fire horse physiology
affiliation: n/a
alias: n/a
BACKSTORY:
extremely barebones rn because i just wanna get the update up ! so just the important stuff !
triggers: mention of infidelity, alcoholism
same old song and dance - born to mama st. james after a brief hiatus between herself and dad st. james. was accepted just the same as any bio son !
that said, this time... it did not take long for anyone to realize he was a mutant because the motherfucker was born with hooves, fire, and a mane.
was able to shift the hooves and mane by the time he was grade-school aged, but never the flames on the side of his face. burning. breathing. heaving. fl- flames! (kael that one was for u)
time skippity skip
went to college in new york and met a woman, carina, whom he fell head over heels for. and her the same !
some years pass, he asks her to marry her, she says yes ! they have a great wedding !
some more years pass, she gets a job opportunity in chicago. wanting the best for his wife, thinking it a nice change of pace, and knowing his sister lived there, levi was like ‘oh hell yeah!’
some more years pass, they have their first child, charlotte.
do you love it ?
loves it.
roughly three years later, levi learns that there’s one facet left to his ability when he thought he’d discovered them all: immortality.
(idk how he discovered it yet maybe he should’ve died at some point maybe he met someone who just knew idk)
a history of alcoholism that has not yet been referenced because this is totally barebones ( a prev dead partner too ), he relapsed when he realized that he would not only outlive carina, but outlive his child. 
he would come home late and sloppy. he would miss work. he was probs fired idk! just bad timez all around, worsened when he found out carina had been having an affair. ( but he never got violent, just wanna make that clear :eyebrow_raised_emoji: ) 
when carina officially proposed a divorce, he was not happy about that... but, like... the fuck was he gonna do ? but he didn’t wanna lose his family unit :(
lol turns out charlotte really loved her dad because, unbeknownst to any of the three, she had some little pheromone mutation shit that made them stay together and got levi clean.
but it was broken, again with the help of bones, and carina assumed levi had something to do with it since it did directly what he wanted.
she got sole custody of charlotte, leaving levi with visitation rights... but he has a hunch that, if he were not visibly mutant, it would be split -- yes, he still may have less days, but his only crime would’ve been a history of alcoholism with no violent incidents and a clean slate for a year. nonetheless...
so now he’s fucking around and finding out.
got his job back, started going to AA meetings, started leaving the city when he needed a break as a whole -- the whole nine yards. but it still isn’t enough !
blahblahblah his daughter :eye_emoji:
TIMELINE:
1987: born to a family of mutants. is not the biological son of his father’s, but is treated as such. wants for little ! has a fiery mane and hooves.
1993: has already learned to shift his hooves into regular feet and do away with the mane, but will never be able to do away with the rest of the fire ( consult task for locations ).
2008: levi meets carina– aka, the woman who will wind up becoming his wife. they hit it off, no powers needed.
2011: levi proposes and she says yes ! they have a lovely little wedding !
2012: they relocate to chicago, where january is residing, due to a job opportunity.
2016: they start trying for a child.
2018: they have a daughter: charlotte. 
2021: levi learns he’s immortal which has made things rough in paradise. he’s turned back to drinking, leaving carina to pick up the pieces. she’s begun an affair. carina decides that it’s best for all involved if they get a divorce. the next day, everything was back to the way it had been... ( turns out charlotte had a little spell of her own -- one she wasn’t aware she was casting, but one that kept her dad in the picture )
2022: everything has been going so well ! then bones stepped in like the hero dog he is, did a lil nip nip, and made the spell drop. carina assumed levi had something to do with it since it had reinforced what he wanted and they had no other way to explain it. she wound up getting sole custody of charlotte but, because his only crime was a history of alcoholism with no violent incidents + he’d been sober for a year, he has a suspicion that a factor in why he didn’t get even two days... is because he’s a visible mutant and carina is not.
2022/2023: he’s been trying to get back into the habit of being… a good guy, to say the least. he’s been trying to become healthier with aa meetings, trying to make new friends, and branching out more, all in the hopes that he’ll gain more than just visitation rights.
HEADCANONS:
the kid he got to keep in the divorce ? their great dane, bones. blake had forgiven bones for the bite – dogs are too smart, it’s very canon that bones knew what was going on and had to find a way to alert them both! – but… he was levi’s concern now.
he still looks up to january – and not just because of how powerful she is. that said, her power can make him underestimate himself. between her ability to warp all of reality and his father’s ability to affect the whole world by changing the weather, he’s like “look at this cool party trick!” 
takes in every stray that comes to the vet and stays for over three weeks with no takers. he now has three cats and three dogs. cats: froot loop, frosted flake, mini wheat. dogs: bones ( the og! ), green bean, zucchini. then he also has a bearded dragon and some fishes.
on that note, an exercise junkie -- which is perfect for the big dogs ! they get lots of activity !
hopes to establish a decent rapport with carina again. he knows they’ve begun butting heads now, her angry over the spell she believes he cast, him angry over why she got sole custody... but, once upon a time, they loved each other. and they both love charlotte. he wants visitations to go smoothly, and he wants to be a proper dad to charlotte as opposed to someone uncle-adjacent.
often thinks ‘life is too short to hold grudges’... then remembers he’s immortal, lol.
will head out to the wooded areas beyond chicago when he really needs to escape... and turn into a fire horse...
idk i had other things to say but i forgot them! so i’ll add them later!
CONNECTION IDEAS:
his ex-spouse / co-parent of his daughter !!! filled so description has been deleted because that’s a long one !
besties ! there throughout the relationship through the divorce. 
co-workers ! some more vets or vet techs !
family ! i do believe the st. james family has been established as being fairly large, so… hit kael up first FAHODSUILAJS then me !
new people for him to love ! *eye-roll emoji* <- i just copied and pasted my old connections so this was tailored to lover boy levi, but i’ll keep it.
brainstorming !

(Read the PROLOGUE here)
Chapter 1: Calm Before the Storm
"Ready to go?"
Amy looked up at her husband. "All set," she replied, taking in Ty's slim build in a nicely tailored suit.
"You look great, by the way," Ty complimented her, giving her a quick peck on the cheek.
"Thank you," Amy said with a smile, basking in his words of admiration. "You don't look so bad yourself, Dr. Borden."
Ty grinned back. "I'll carry Lyndy down to the house and catch up with you in the truck, okay?"
"Sure."
"Come on, kid," Ty whispered to the sleeping child, "let's get you down to your Grandpa Tim and cousin Katie." He gently lifted Lyndy from the crib, making sure to bring the stuffed rabbit Grandma Lily had given as a gift.
Amy listened to Ty's retreating steps as he descended the loft stairs into the barn below. The late March evening was mild enough that she would not need a heavy winter coat over her evening dress, as Hudson was enjoying a welcome dose of spring-like weather. A minute later, she was outside, opening the passenger-side door to their truck.
A similarly dressed-up Jack and Lisa waved to them across the yard before climbing into Lisa's Porsche. Both couples would be heading into town to attend a celebration hosted by Dr. Scott Cardinal; Lou and Georgie had gone ahead a few hours before. The party was going to be a small one, but Amy figured dressing up felt good for a change.
Ever since Scott hired Cassandra, now married to Ty's best friend Caleb, Amy had regarded the other woman as a threat. First, for Ty's affections—however irrational that fear—then for his job and position as partner at the veterinary clinic. As Ty drove down the familiar track and under the gallows gate, the thought crossed Amy's mind that she could not pinpoint the moment she ceased thinking of Cass as a rival. Somewhere along the way, the two had managed to forge a bond, and tried to carve out time in their busy schedules to socialize. The fact Cass and Caleb were Lyndy's godparents was a testament to that friendship.
"How did Cass react to the news?" Amy asked her husband.
"Like she was on cloud nine," Ty replied with a wide smile. "Practically floated out the door at the end of her shift when Scott told her last week."
"Well, I'm glad for her," said Amy, smiling at the mental image of an ecstatic Cassandra. "Not that I'm complaining, but I've been wondering: how can Scott afford having two partners now?"
"I'm not really supposed to say anything about it yet," Ty said, "but a group of local investors stepped in. They're interested in supporting businesses in Hudson, especially since so many of them had a rough time recovering after the flooding back in 2013... Anyway, somehow Scott's clinic came to their attention. Apart from run-of-the-mill puppy and kitty stuff, you know he's got steady work with the Polo Club."
"Right," Amy said with a slight nod.
"He's Tim's go-to guy at the rodeo school, and Hillhurst picked him for their on-call veterinarian, too," Ty added. "Plus, he's most likely going to be getting that coveted position of resident veterinarian at Spruce Meadows. So, things are looking really good for him and his new investors."
"I'm happy things are working out for him," Amy said. "He's come such a long way from the day Clint brought him to Heartland and Mom sponsored him."
"Yeah, he's worked hard for it," Ty acknowledged. "Personally, I'm humbled to be part of it. He's a great boss."
"Partner," Amy corrected.
"Oh, he still signs the paycheques," Ty chortled. "But you're right. He's a good partner—and boss."
***
Jack noticed Lisa's unusually reticent demeanour on the drive in to Hudson. He guessed it had something to do with the one-year anniversary of the deaths of Lanny and Paige Barick, with whom she had been acquainted. There had been a memorial in Calgary for the couple along with a press conference earlier that day which Lisa attended. Family members gave an impassioned plea for justice and for closure to the whole tragic affair. Business friends and associates that included Lisa pledged a monetary reward in exchange for information leading to an arrest and conviction since all leads had gone cold.
Though a year had gone by, the fact no one had been apprehended in the crime weighed heavily on the hearts and minds of all who knew Lanny and Paige. The case hit even closer to home, as Lou had been questioned by Calgary detectives about her role dealing with Lanny's investment portfolio. There had not been any irregularities Lou could identify from her end, and the law enforcement officers moved on to different avenues of investigation.
Instead of letting Lisa stew in her silence, Jack chose to pay her a compliment as a way of breaking the ice. On more than one occasion he had been compelled to call her out on not confiding in him when she could have used his emotional support.
"If I haven't already said so tonight, you look beautiful," he said, gently rubbing her knee.
This brought a quick smile to her face. She cast a brief, sideways glance in his direction. The sound of his voice and that simple touch had the much-needed effect of lifting her out of her pensive mood. Jack was right: the reminder about Lanny and Paige had upset her more than she was willing to admit. Her mind had been occupied with the way police had initially been tight-lipped about the investigation, and how the rumour mill had churned out all kinds of wild, sordid theories.
"Thank you," she managed to reply, dragging her thoughts back to the present moment. "You don't look so bad yourself, Cowboy." She adored how handsome and dignified he looked in the combination of the suit she had custom-made for him, bolo tie, and pristine white hat. He cut an impressive figure with his height and his build. While he would be considered a senior in terms of chronological age, Jack Bartlett was far from a stereotypical frail and doddering old man. "I know you don't like getting dressed up, but I'm glad you did."
"Well, when my gorgeous wife goes to the trouble of getting dolled-up for a celebration, I guess I have to make sure her husband isn't the goat in the room."
The two of them shared a light laugh at his old, personal self-deprecating description; Jack gave himself a mental pat on the back for managing to lighten Lisa's mood. Now he could be assured they would enjoy the evening without some dark cloud hanging overhead.
"I think it's a fine thing you and those other investors have done for the vet clinic," Jack said, sensing he could now talk freely about any topic. He did not know all the details, but was marginally aware of Lisa's involvement in the group's decision to boost Scott's operating capital.
"Scott has done so much for so many people in Hudson, including Fairfield," Lisa commented. "He was a safe investment; a total no-brainer. And now that he can afford to bring Cassandra on as a partner, I think Ty feels better about his own choice to cut back on his hours there to build his practice with Amy at Heartland. Everybody wins in this one."
Jack was brimming with pride. "You just think of everything, don't you?"
"At least when it comes to the people I love."
***
Maggie's Diner, though by no means high-class in terms of decor or dining fare, was Scott's choice in venue for the small celebration. After all, as he put it, he had "an in" with the owner, and Lou was only too happy to oblige his request.
The guest of honour stood with Caleb; the happy pair were chatting with a few other guests when the Bartlett-Fleming-Borden clan arrived.
"Cassandra, congratulations on making partner at the clinic!" Amy declared upon seeing the other woman, moving in for a friendly hug.
"Thank you!" Cass said, beaming. She accepted the embrace before returning to her husband's side. Caleb mirrored her smile as he snaked his arm around her waist.
At the appropriate time in the evening's festivities, Scott took to the small stage area, palmed the microphone, and began reading from a speech he had prepared.
"I'd like to thank all of you for coming tonight," he started. "I've been so lucky to be able to mentor such a great young veterinarian like Cassandra. I'll say a few words about her, in case some of you don't know. She's not only an excellent veterinary surgeon, but she also specializes in veterinary acupuncture, a procedure you would have had to go to Calgary for if you wanted it—before she started working with me."
Light applause ensued, and Cassandra gave a demure smile at this praise.
"Let's not forget all the crappy graveyard and weekend shifts; all the thankless times she picked up the slack when my other partner took side-trips to Mongolia and B.C. with Vets Without Borders…" Scott continued. "Make no mistake: she's more than paid her dues. It's not always easy running a 'country' vet practice. But having Cass on staff is a fantastic asset, and I wish I could have made her a full partner sooner. Now, thanks to our new private investors, I can finally afford it!"
Scott glanced over at Lisa with a broad smile at that moment. She sent a wink in tacit reply. Few would have known she was attending the party not only as a long-time client and friend, but also as the official representative of the investor's group that made Cassandra's partnership fiscally possible.
"Please put your hands together to congratulate my newest Hudson Veterinary Clinic partner, Dr. Cassandra Fay Odell!"
Cass basked in the adulation.
Someone called "Speech!" which was followed by a few guffaws. But Cass seemed game, so she boldly approached Scott on the small stage. He passed the microphone to her outstretched hand before bringing her in for a hug.
"Thank you, Scott," she said as she looked out among those gathered. "This has been an amazing evening, and I am so proud to be working for such a great mentor and boss. I love my job, and I am thrilled to be accepted into the practice as a full partner."
Polite applause followed these words, but Cass was not finished.
"Scott mentioned his other partner—Dr. Ty Borden. For those of you who don't know, he's the adventurer of our little veterinary trio. He's been to far-flung places with names I can't even pronounce with Vets Without Borders. We started out as pretty fierce competitors, but over the years, Ty and his wife Amy have become close friends with me and my husband, Caleb.
"In fact, we're godparents to their little girl, Lyndy. This is particularly meaningful to me and Caleb, because we've been trying to start a family for a while but haven't really been having much success. Watching Lyndy grow from babyhood into the adorable toddler she is has been a real joy."
Amy and Ty grinned up at Cass, though the rest of the party-goers were starting to wonder where this discussion was leading.
"Now, there's a tiny announcement that needs to be made," Cass continued. "Amy and Ty were a little concerned that this announcement would have stolen my thunder, but I told them it would be a perfect opportunity, since we're here with so many friends and loved ones, so... Amy; Ty, get on up here."
Ty grasped Amy's hand to lead her up towards Cass. Lisa glanced up at Jack as if to ask What's going on? but he seemed equally puzzled; Georgie and Lou likewise shrugged at each other.
"Uh, thanks, Cass," Ty shyly spoke into the mike before passing it to Amy.
"Stay up here, Cass," Amy said to her friend. "Anyway, it's so good to see all of you here tonight; our family members and good friends. It's actually a double-announcement, by the way."
Ty leaned close to the mike and added: "Yeah, Cass talked about our little girl, Lyndy, who's now nearly two years old and growing bigger every day."
"So, the reason we're up here is to tell you all that we are, in fact, going to be having another baby," Amy said, as Ty draped an arm around her shoulders.
Applause filled the diner, with Jack, Lisa, Lou and Georgie staring up at the young couple in happy wonder.
"But like Amy said, it's really a double-announcement," Ty uttered when the clapping petered out. "Caleb, man, you need to get up here."
"Get up there?" a confused Caleb repeated. "Why?"
"Just get up here, you goof," Cass called.
"All right," he said, dazedly walking up to his wife.
Cass took the microphone from Amy while smiling slyly at her husband. "I mentioned before Caleb and I were hoping to start a family," she began to tell the crowd. "Well, it looks like the Bordens and the Odells will have to start planning for a joint baby shower, because I'm pregnant, too!"
"Whoa!" Caleb cawed as a million-watt smile brightened his face. "Babe, so that's why you've been so secretive this week... and I thought it was all about your partnership announcement. But this announcement is even better."
"It is!" Cass replied, matching his smile, and the couple shared a deep kiss, which resulted in more clapping, hooting, and cheering from the crowd.

The Buffy Re-watch: S2E9 (part 2)
What's my Line: part 1
After yesterday's long rant and ramble I am back to doing my normal recaps.
Cordelia's test indicating she would be good as a personal shopper, which is very logical, but also a motivational speaker. Maybe not now, but certainly after some personal growth, I could see that happening.
Xander as a prison guard? No. Definitely not.
Buffy does become a police officer in the comics, so her test was accurate. But the line about police brutality, yikes in this day and age.
Even Giles thinks other watchers were long winded and pompous.
Nine yards of what? The whole nine yards? Where does that phrase come from? I put it in my notes to look it up, but I am too lazy to do so because I am currently ill, and it's almost 11pm at the time of writing this the day before this is supposed to be published.
Yeah, dead Buffy jokes do not go down well with Giles.
Order of Taraka bounty hunters made up of demon, humans and other possible creatures.
Willow being headhunted by a tech company and now she meets Oz for the first time.
Even Giles thinks that law enforcement would be good career choice for Buffy.
Taraka members take their places, with some misdirection as to who one of them is.
Where did Kendra come from in the cargo hold to be able to surprise the guy?
SMG can actually ice skate.
Go Buffy, for using said ice skates to slice a bad guy's head off. Has that been done in a horror movie before, using a ice skate to kill someone? I feel like it has but I don't know where.
I wrote in my notes that I wish Spike would snuggle up with me the way he does with Drusilla, but since then I have been on a Jason Sudeikis thing (God damn you Ted Lasso for this) so as much as I love Spike and still find him attractive, my attention has been diverted elsewhere. But honestly, who doesn't want to be snuggled up to someone they love?
See Angel, Darla was wrong. Buffy did see your vampiric face and still want to kiss you.
Even Giles is freaked out by the Order turning up. That's definitely bad.
Dude made up of bugs. Eww.
Buffy's first interaction with Oz does not go well. Oh Oz, you have no idea how tense she is.
The next best place for Buffy to be is at Angel's since very few know where he lives. It's a smart move.
Girl take your shoes off before getting into bed. It's a pet peeve of mine when people put their shoes on furniture. You've been outside wearing them and will have dirt and stuff on them, why would you what to put them on things you sit or sleep on?
We meet Willy for the first time. I wonder what happens to him, because they stop bringing him back after season 4, I think?
Angel, honey, of course Spike sent to Order to kill Buffy. Who else would it be? Be logical about this my guy.
Kendra kicks ass. Mostly Angel's ass.
Xander is the first one to call the group 'the scooby gang'. Of course SMG would later go on to play Daphne in the James Gunn live action films and also marries Fred from the films too.
Is this the first time we see the Summer's house living room properly? I think it is.
Oh shit, two slayers! Well, Buffy did die last season, apparently there is no waiting time for when the next person gets called.
Part 1 of part 2 will be uploaded tomorrow.
I am thinking about posting Ted Lasso episode recaps on weekends to break up the Buffy recaps. I've watched season 1 of it and have notes ready to write up, it's just about finding a good time to do it. So it won't be this weekend or next but definitely in the future. I'll see what works.

Hellsite Nostalgia Tour 2023 Day 214
The Sign of Three
Here it isssss, nearly a week late (oops). The eighth episode of Sherlock. It’s only right to watch it today after buying the manga version of The Great Game
“The Sign of Three”
Plot Description: Sherlock tries to give the perfect best man speech at John’s wedding when he suddenly realizes a murder is about to take place
Gregory is BIG MAD about some crime family always getting away from Scotland Yard
And Sherlock ruined his big arrest by being bad at speech writing
(What if it didn’t take me three hours to watch this episode? WHAT IF I FREE MYSELF OF THAT TONIGHT??)
Mmmmm the foreshadowing of Sherlock leaving John’s wedding early.
That was a nice bit of staging. Sherlock bringing taking his tux to get on and saying “to battle” and cutting to…who I think was John’s superior officer in the Army, iirc
(See, it took almost nine whole minutes for my first pause)
I remember liking the one bridesmaid, Janine. She’s fun. And she is a good balance for Sherlock’s seriousness
Sherlock’s REALLY overstepping boundaries preparing for this episode. And he is…questionable with kids. Like this kid thinks he’s cool but maybe we shouldn’t be letting kids see ACTUAL beheadings. Just a thought
The JEALOUSY pouring out of a Sherlock, but at least Mary’s having a good time. And good for her, it’s her wedding day
It’s just….this phone call between the Holmes brothers. Sherlock is trying to force things to stay the same as much as he can, but Mycroft knows better. He knows things change when people get married. But Sherlock is either hopeful or delusional in his stubbornness. It’s hard to watch
Not the Redbeard mentionnnnnn
God…I could go for a steak right now…
Oh geez. Sherlock’s not too good with sentiment and expressing it…or even reading aloud other people’s affection and well wishes for the couple
All these years and Sherlock still doesn’t know Greg’s name.
And John’s not too good at expressing affection, particularly in the form of asking his best friend to be his best man…especially when Sherlock doesn’t seem to get the hint…at all
It is a nice speech, though
Ugh…the way they’re practically treating him like a child. Fuck. I hate this.
Isn’t this case the one where the weapon is thought to be or actually is an icicle??
Omg no. It was funnier. Molly’s boyfriend thought it was a weapon fashioned of compounded flesh and bone…like some sort of…meat dagger. Which I suppose is better than Lestrade’s “we’re looking for [someone with dwarfism].” MAYBE??
Wait, HE didn’t solve it either?? Oh. Because it’s gonna be tied to someone trying to murder Major Sholto
I remember people RAVING about the “obvious bi lighting” during John’s stag night…………….actually that’s real
Tumblr media
They’re so stupid.
Omg… she…she was in a show with Andrew Scott. I watched a LOT of kind of bad stuff just to see him back in the day. I think her character dated Andrew’s character
Can she not tell they’re drunk af??? “He’s clueing for looks” like…COME ONNNNNNNNN
Ew I hate how loud the eye blinking noises are here. You didn’t need to do that.
Mrs Hudson is so precious. She’s trying so hard to prepare these two for the changes that WILL happen once John gets married. But she’s also so funny because you really do think she’s just this sweet old lady who has never done anything wrong or wild in her life and yet she was married to a guy who ran a drug cartel
Ohhhhhh the one lady who was tricked by the dude assuming the identities of recently deceased guys to use their apartments to have sex (which is a really weird crime, sure). But she’s a lil kinky and thinks his ploy is clever. I LOVE her. Ok but like…LET HER SPEAK!! She’s got her head right about her ideal man
Honestly I would have absolutely wanted someone to say they could go on about the depth and complexity of my sweaters back in 2014
Omg that kid just 100% earned his headless nun pics.
Oh yeah, Mary’s not gonna miss out on either saving Major Sholto’s life or solving his murder even on her wedding day. Again, good for her
“You are not a puzzle solver, you’re a drama queen” I forgot how funny that line was…yeah. So someone stabbed the major some hours ago but his belt kept him from feeling it and also kept the blood compressed in his body, I GUESS
DO they solve who it was??
So here’s the thing about Janine. She’s so normal (compared to everyone else in this show) and she’s really just here for a good time. She finds Sherlock interesting and funny but she’s not besotted like John or Molly or Irene
Ok. Looking back, the photographer was a bit of an obvious answer…but still. Pretty good solve
He played (and possibly wrote) the song they did their first dance to???? 🥹 but then he still leaves early 🥺 partly because he realizes they don’t need him around since he deduced Mary’s pregnant

domestic for marc and sahar?
Macy! Thank you for asking I’m gonna do comic them under the cut and cinematic them first. As always all answers account for the alters too despite what the banner says with specifics made where needed.
Tumblr media
1. When they move in together, who gets the most say in decorations? What do they each have to have in the house?
I want to say that Sahar does because Steven isn’t going to fight too much about it while Marc and Jake don’t care too much so long as they have the essentials.
2. If they get married, who proposes, and how do they do it? Would they change their surnames?
Steven and Marc purpose and would go classic with a nice dinner (which can also be lower price wise but its something that’s so very close to her original universe), a walk to a special location, getting down on one knee the whole nine yards. There isn’t really any formal changes to surnames but Sahar does take on Grant after awhile.
3. What is the wedding like? Who attends?
Small, like backyard style and their few friends. Yelena is the maid of honor, Frenchie is the best man, Matty is there as witness and protection. Taweret really wanted to be officiant so yeah they let her. Stephen is invited, so is J. Jonah (yes he’s a little confused by everything), and Khonshu is rightly banned....unless there is a villain that attacks the wedding.
4. How many kids do they have, if any? What are they like as parents? What are the kids like?
They have one. They name her Annalie after Sahar’s best friend/sister figure. They put the heroism down and focus on her (unless the world/universe is threatened then you know they kinda have too) much to Khonshu’s chargin. They are open with who they are as people including Marc’s alters and Sahar’s hallucinations which helps when her X-gene starts to show. When this happens they take up their mantles again because someone’s gotta protect their headstrong daughter despite being mentored by Ms Marvel.
5. Are either of them the “breadwinner”? Who cooks? Who cleans?
Sahar fits more into the “breadwinner” role as she makes the most money in either universe. Cooking and cleaning are a shared affair unless someone comes home in blood or other things that can make a just cleaned house dirty then its that person’s responsibility.
6. Do they have any pets?
Other than the two goldfish? It takes awhile but a cat does join them. It’s another stray like Sunny. Steven was the one to coax it home first seeing how happy it made Sahar, who was reluctant because she didn’t want to abandon this one the same way she abandoned Sunny.
7. Who worries the most?
Steven. The others have confidence in their abilities to fix it should things go wrong. When it comes to Annalie it becomes all of them and its a big factor into why they take up the superhero mantles again.
8. Who kills the bugs in the house?
Sahar. She’s scared the entire time but she’s faster about it so Marc doesn’t really have a chance to kill it for her.
9. How do they celebrate holidays?
Very subdued with religious holidays taken more seriously in observation. Sahar is no longer someone that enjoys the parties and spectacle like she did before. 
10. Who is more likely to convince the other to come back to sleep in the morning?
Marc. He’s just got this strength and vulnerability that just works on her every damn time.
11. Who hogs the blankets or takes up more than their fair share of the bed? Who puts their cold feet on the other? Who are the big and little spoons?
Sahar hogs the blankets while Jake takes up more than their fair share of the bed. Marc and Sahar make it a competition of who can make the other jump more with the cold feet. Its a mix up on who’s who in the big and little spoons, though you can count on Sahar to be the little spoon most often. She likes to feel safe and the best way is facing them, head tucked under their chin and their arms around them.
12. Who likes to dance with, or sing for, the other?
Marc, Steven, and Jake. They’re a bit more open with this small bit of fun, Sahar just having learned how to really shut herself off finds it harder to do so. 
13. Do they have any “couple traditions”, or family traditions?
Nothing significant. The world is always kind of changing and they are always on the move in a way. They do more so find trivia night places so they can do it once a week no matter where they’re at so that counts right?
14. Who is the one who always says “I don’t know” when the other asks where they want to eat?
Sahar. Yes she uses the excuse of being from another universe to justify her indecisiveness.
15. Who would drive, and who would give directions?
Sahar gives directions while the boys drive. 
Tumblr media
1. When they move in together, who gets the most say in decorations? What do they each have to have in the house?
Sahar gets the most say as she actually has furniture from her old apartment in storage still. Some of it has already found a home in the mission.
2. If they get married, who proposes, and how do they do it? Would they change their surnames?
They never think about marrying and it never comes up. Marriage and being a hero just don’t mix. But! Neither take the other’s surname if they ever did. Firstly if Sahar takes his last name Spector then she’s fitting Marvel comic naming with SS initials. Then if Marc takes her last name he gets the double whammy of also falling victim with his initials being MM (doesn’t want to get confused with Murdock also), but her last name means “of the moon” and come on we’re not gonna give Khonshu the satisfaction.
3. What is the wedding like? Who attends?
It would be a courthouse wedding with Greer, Rheese, Soldier, Dr. Sterman, and Amin. Dr. Badar is one that performs a small blessing at the small dinner at the mission afterward. 
4. How many kids do they have, if any? What are they like as parents? What are the kids like?
They don’t have kids in this universe. Sahar becomes a pretty good stepmom to Diatrice once she’s able to come back into Marc’s life. The two keep the heroics far from her as best they can. It’s a process to getting Diatrice’s trust and openness.
5. Are either of them the “breadwinner”? Who cooks? Who cleans?
Steven is the main breadwinner. While Sahar has a sizable sum of money Steven is the one that makes it currently. Neither fully cooks, Marc and the boys take this one as they do more so. Cleaning is shared and not shared. Honestly if she could Sahar would hire someone to do it for her.
6. Do they have any pets?
Sunny bunny! The window garden stray that just befriended Sahar and adores Marc to no end. She has become a mascot for the mission and can be seen either in Sahar’s apartment or lounging in the window or the desk of the mission.
7. Who worries the most?
It’s equal mostly in this but Marc a little more given how many people he’s lost due to being Moon Knight and his relationship to Khonshu.
8. Who kills the bugs in the house?
Sahar is once again too fast to give Marc the chance, but he tries when she doesn’t notice them first.
9. How do they celebrate holidays?
They don’t really. They mostly go out to the few parties they’re invited too and see how many happy hanukkah cards Marc gets that year. Religious times are observed more frequently.
10. Who is more likely to convince the other to come back to sleep in the morning?
Neither want to wake up before 4pm so it easy and a mutual decesion to stay longer in bed.
11. Who hogs the blankets or takes up more than their fair share of the bed? Who puts their cold feet on the other? Who are the big and little spoons?
See the answer for cinematic verse as it’s the same here.
12. Who likes to dance with, or sing for, the other?
Sahar just a little more in this verse. Neither will but you’re more likely to find Sahar singing with and for him. Dancing used to be more Steven’s thing back in the day when they were company party friends. Though I will also say that it’s Jake that’s most likely to join in on the singing.
13. Do they have any “couple traditions”, or family traditions?
They get back into trivia night bringing Rheese and Soldier along with them to dominate. No other traditions despite Dr. Sterman’s advice to make the Coney Island trip a yearly tradition.
14. Who is the one who always says “I don’t know” when the other asks where they want to eat?
Sahar but it doesn’t work and Marc is truly the one with no idea on where to go each time. Hell he forgot it had been awhile since he last ate and you want him to know what he wants to eat?
15. Who would drive, and who would give directions?
Jake. For both. You don’t become a cab driver and now know how to get just about anywhere from memory.

SO there's this guy i absolutely adore to bits, met him on Lord of the Rings Online at the beginning of june, but it's.... complicated.
See, he's been in a long distance relationship with a girl for about a year now, but that long distance is hard when the two of you haven't met up due to circumstances always getting in the way, and anything can turn upside down in the blink of an eye. So when your partner stops talking to you,maybe responds every other day, doesnt call, etc its uhm pretty tough yeah?
So enter me, we talk a lot in the guild's chat, become fast friends who pretend-hate each other and 'bicker like an old married couple'. Given his relationship's rocky state, he’s really torn up and he’s looking for some comfort, and i'm more than happy to be there for him because that’s what friends do! his vulnerability leads him to share things with me that he normally wouldn’t with others. And getting this level of emotional intimacy from a guy makes me want to share everything too. The emotional connection deepens and the boundaries can get blurry so we eventually get to the point of me talking to him more than his actual girfriend.
It's just...... we stay up almost all night talking, call every day and our humour is very sexualised so we make innuendos and flirty jokes a lot, the whole nine yards. i bring up if that kind of thing doesnt bother his gf cause its easy to cross boundaries like that, then he says he hasnt had the opportunity to ask due to her not responding to him. He keeps saying i intrigue him, that he's just trying to figure me out. I start cracking jokes about how he's obsessed with me, then he says i'm the one messaging him at 3am, it's mutual. I can't disagree.
So one night in early july i ask him the Big Question: i'm picking up a vibe, does he like me? He basically agrees, is just surprised i forced it out into the open so early on. We talk for hours, he ends up breaking things off with his gf the day after as it was phasing out anyway.
I said i'm not looking for a rebound, that he shouldn't rush the recovery process just for my sake, but the emotional connection and trust is already there, so i'm the perfect target for all of his post breakup feels and he starts flirting with me pretty heavily the day after his breakup anyway. I ask if he's sure about this, cause i don't want to feed into it unless he's okay. He says he's fine, so we continue like that for a few days and he's just the sweetest, most adorable man ever and of course i fall hard and fast as soon as i've gotten a taste of his affections. After about a week of this though he stops flirting completely, i gather up the courage to ask and he confesses that the feelings caught up to him, he's just not ready yet but didnt want to bother me.
So....im now at an impasse. I really really really like him and can see us working out against all odds. I know i'm 19 and he's 30, i'm eastern european and he's british, i'm single and he's rebound-territory, but despite all that i think this has a chance of working out, communication is key.
I fantasize about getting to meet him, about running up to him at the airport and finally jumping into his arms. About the way i'd barely be able to be pry myself off of him as i finally get to touch him as much as i want [entirely too much for a public setting]. About the way i'd keep bouncing with excitement sitting on the train next to him, and how i'd finally get to tear his clothes off once we get to his place and have our first time together, graceless and funny as it may be. About cuddling together in the afterglow, about telling each other how it's been so long for both of us and that it was amazing despite all the clumsiness. I fantasize about moving in together and about getting to tacke him with love attacks whenever i want, about movie nights spent on the couch, about cooking for him while he streams, about surprizing him with his favorite things and about getting to fall asleep on his chest every night, distance no longer keeping us apart.
So yeah. Of course i feel a bit let down but he needs to work on himself first so that we can be together later, he needs me more as a friend right now. And i've got a feeling that waiting for him will be pretty worth it.
He's one of my biggest motivations to lose all this weight right now. As i typed this out i think i might be in actual fucking love with this man.... it's been a month and a half, control yourself woman!

The Whiskey Room
Tumblr media
Summary: While at a friend’s wedding one evening, the reader spots a sad looking green eyed man...
Pairing: AU!Dean x reader
Square: Wedding!AU
Word Count: 1,000ish
Warnings: language
A/N: Written for @supernatural-jackles Tell Me A Story Bingo!
______
“Hey,” you said to the groomsman standing outside the reception tent, leaning on the railway that led down to the lake below. You walked up beside him, green eyes turning your direction. “Dean right?”
“Yeah. You’re Y/N, Jess’ friend from college?” he asked. You hummed, offering a smile.
“You okay?” you asked. He blinked a few times, looking at the water, the sun starting to set over it. “I noticed yesterday at the rehearsal dinner you were kinda on your own a bit. I thought it was funny the best man wasn’t hanging out with the groom.”
“Sammy and I get to see each other all the time. He doesn’t see his lawyer friends all that much,” he said. 
“Jess said you run the restaurant and bar you and Sam own together.”
“Yup,” he said dryly.
“The Whiskey Room. Classy name,” you said. “Good food, good atmosphere.”
“How would you know? You’re not from around here.”
“It’s true I’m not. But I do work for the company that just bought out your bar.”
“So you’re a lawyer too,” he said with a sigh.
“Why’d you sell?” you asked.
“It’s getting too big for me to handle by myself. Sam put up some money, I was the labor. He wants to sell while we’re doing good and I can’t say I blame him.”
“You like it?”
“Not really, no. It got too stuffy for my tastes. Why are you asking about this stuff?”
“Because you seem sad and I get it. Your brother’s getting married and your business is going away. Probably feels like you’re losing him a bit,” you said. You turned around and looked back at the tent, Dean still and silent next to you. “Dean. Go hang out with your brother. I don’t know Sam that well but I do know you’re his best friend and he wants you to be part of today. Worry about work tomorrow. Tonight, just have fun.”
“Thanks Y/N,” he said, smiling briefly. “I’ll catch a dance with you sometime?”
“Sure thing Dean.”
The Next Morning
“There’s my girl,” chuckled Dean. You looked up behind your sunglasses, Dean stopping by your table at the restaurant you were in. “You ran off on me last night.”
“May have had a little too much to drink. Apparently hotel staff found me wandering in the parking lot.”
“I can’t say I blame you. I woke up in the backseat of my car,” he chuckled, sporting his own sunglasses.
“You wanna sit down and eat with me?”
“Oh this is the spot in town to get a hangover breakfast. Absolutely,” he said. A waiter came over and took his order before skirting off, Dean stretching out in his seat. “Thanks for talking to me last night. I was a bit stuck in my own head.”
“I spend a lot of time stuck in my own. I get it,” you said, sipping on your cup of coffee. “So what do you want to do for work? Stay in the restaurant game?”
“You know that beer that had on tap last night? Win?” he asked.
“Yeah. Shit was good.”
“We make it. Or I make it. I was thinking of going bigger, open a legit brewery, the whole nine yards. I talked to Sammy last night and he’s willing to give me most of the profit from the restaurant to put into it.”
“I think that’s a cool idea. You actually sound happy about it too which is what’s most important,” you said. He smiled behind his shades, licking his lips. “You know there’s a lot of complexities involved with doing something like that, not as simple as getting a liquor license.”
“I know a lot of lawyers,” he said.
“You know a lot that specialize in dealing with alcohol?” you asked, leaning back in your seat. He smirked and took off his sunglasses, cocking his head.
“I think I do now. But I thought she’s not from here.”
“Just went freelance. Here’s as good a place as any to start fresh,” you said. “If you’re interested. Give ya the friends and family discount.”
“Deal,” he said. “So you were the one that worked the deal at my bar.”
“Yeah. See when I said my company bought you out last month, it was really me and my partner. But things didn’t exactly work out when he quit and moved to Switzerland so if you want ownership, you can buy back in. Fifty fifty. Someone else will run it but you still have it and you get to do your brewery. How about that deal?”
“I don’t have the capital to do both is the only problem.”
“Silent partner at the brewery. Let’s call it twenty percent my way, the rest yours. That give you enough? You’ll make money back fast at the restaurant. I’ll even sell back your fifty percent at what you paid for it.”
“Sounds too good to be true. Why are you being nice to me?”
“Because you seem nice and money isn’t everything.”
“You have a shit ton of money don’t you.”
“...that’s not the point. Point is I’m offering fair market value on the restaurant and the brewery. Compensation for my work as a lawyer. I think it’s a pretty fair deal.”
“Alright. I’ll have my lawyer write something up and by lawyer, you can write it up,” he chuckled.
“We’ll wait until tomorrow when I can comprehend bright lights again,” you said, your food coming out. 
“Did you order the greasy spoon?” he asked.
“Yup,” you said, grabbing the hot sauce and drizzling it over everything. “Grease cooked everything. The exact opposite of healthy.”
“I knew there was a reason I liked you sweetheart. Oh and there is one more thing to add to our deal.”
“What’s that?”
“You still owe me a dance,” he said, smiling at you.
“You’ll get your dance Dean. I promise.”

Can you write where harry spend time with reader’s family and he ask her dad’s blessing and decide to propose her. Please? I really love this fic. You’re the best. Xx
the one where harry wants to propose
a/n: hi love! so i'm not sure if you wanted the whole proposal too but this is where he asks for her father's blessing. hope you like it! <3 feedback is always welcomed
word count: 1k
warnings: none
--
If there was one thing that Harry is sure of is that he wants to marry (Y/N). Though they’ve been together for five years, he’s known since around their third date. But now, it was all he could think about.
Without (Y/N) knowing, Harry has spent the past few months visiting jewelry stores with Gemma, trying to find the perfect ring. When he found the one, he couldn’t help but cry. Harry was the biggest sap, even more so being smitten with (Y/N).
He’s been planning this big proposal by their favorite beach at night. Rose petals, candles, music, the whole nine yards. But there was one thing he needed before he can execute his plan…
Her father’s blessing.
Harry got along very well with (Y/N)’s family. They all loved him, he loved them. Yet he couldn’t help but feel nervous that the man might tell him no for whatever reason.
“Are you an idiot, Harry? They love you! The man is probably dying for this to happen! I’ve seen how they are with you.” Gemma told him the last time he called her worried because they were going over to her parent’s house for dinner on the weekend and it drove him wild. Part of him was sure he’d be all for it but the other was nagging him with all the what ifs.
--
“Are you ready, babe? Mum just called saying dinner would be ready in about 30 minutes.” (Y/N) called out from the bathroom where she was applying some make up, Harry in the room putting on his shoes. “Yeah. Just waiting for you now, love.” And freaking out because I’m about to ask your father if I can propose to you.
(Y/N) came out of the bathroom soon after with a smile on her face, walking to the man and wrapping her arms around his waist. “You look strikingly handsome. Just thought you’d want to know.” Harry chuckled and reciprocated her actions, his arms snaking around her, “And you look absolutely gorgeous, m’love.” Harry leaned down for a sweet kiss that still send chills down his spine as if it were there first kiss. God, he was madly, deeply in love with this woman.
--
The two quickly scurried out of the house when they realized they spent a couple minutes too long kissing each other. They just couldn’t get enough of the other.
The drive was short albeit filled with conversations of their day like they hadn’t spent it together. But Harry was nervous and that always led to him rambling. (Y/N) noticed but she decided against asking any questions because she knows Harry still gets nervous around her parents even though they adore him and she’s constantly reminding him of it.
Harry and (Y/N) stood by the front door, waiting to be greeted after she knocked softly, her head resting on Harry’s shoulder while they waited.
“Hi, dear!” Her father greeted her with a huge smile and a hug as soon as the door opened, then turning to Harry with a hug too, “So glad you guys came tonight. Mum’s wrapping up in the kitchen, dinner should be done any minute now. Come in, come in.” He cooed them into the living room, Harry and (Y/N) sitting beside each other as her mum called out that dinner was ready. They all laughed softly and got up just as soon as they sat down, taking their seats around the dinner table, except for Harry who decided he’d help (Y/N)’s mother prepare the table.
And yet he dared to think he wouldn’t get a blessing…
Her mother was an amazing cook. The dinner was delicious and now Harry was even more nervous because it was almost time to ask her father and he didn’t even know how to pull him aside for a conversation without being obvious but thankfully, the man had a plan in mind of his own and it benefitted Harry.
(Y/N) and her mother were in the kitchen washing dishes when her father came up to Harry, patting his shoulder. “Mind coming to the garage with me, son? Been wanting to show you what I did to the truck.” Perfect, Harry thought. It was time and his hands were shaky, heart beating hard and fast in the confines of his ribcage as they both walked out to the garage.
Before her father could dictate another word, Harry let out a shaky breath and turned to him with a grin. “I’m… I’m actually glad you called me out here. There’s something I need to ask you…” Harry watched him attentively, trying to read the man’s face the whole while. “’Course. What’s on your mind?” What a great man. He loved Harry like his own and there wasn’t a thing he wouldn’t do for him. He took care of his only daughter and loved her endlessly. That was all he wanted for his daughter. A great man like Harry. “Well, as you know, I love (Y/N) more than I could ever begin to explain, and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I want to marry her.”
The man’s eyes widened, tears pooling at his waterline in the best disbelief he’d ever felt. He’d always imagine his daughter and Harry getting married in the near future. But this was real. There was no way he’d disapprove of a love so genuine and so strong.
Harry took his hand out, waiting for him to shake it but no, he took Harry in for a hug. “You have my blessing, son.” He pulled away, patting Harry’s arm with a smile. “We are so happy for you two. (Y/N) has been her happiest by your side and there’s nothing we would love more than to see you both together until the end of time.” A huge sigh of relief left Harry, a small chuckle following. “Oh, thank god. I was so nervous.” Her father shook his head with a laugh. “Silly. We support anything you want to do that benefits to my daughter’s happiness.”
--
That night Harry went to bed with the biggest smile. His heart swollen with love in his chest. He was one step closer to marrying his girl and nothing could make him happier.
