A new kind of touch...

@kibagib has done it again, this time for a scene from chapter 2 of Couch Surfing. Kiba perfectly captured the tenderness in Simon's hand positioning and the love-sick look in Johnny's eyes. Amazing work!

___

The warmth of the room, the pressure of Johnny's head on his hip, and the pain that hummed in the back of his mind all combined to overrule common sense. He brushed his thumb into the buzzed hair just behind Johnny's ear and felt the shudder that ran through his body. Heat began to build behind Simon's sternum.

Slowly, Johnny turned his head, his eyes now wide open and blazing with something Simon couldn't… wouldn't name. Their gazes locked, and a boulder dropped on Simon's chest. He inhaled a shuddering breath, struggling for air as he drowned in stormy blue. The oxygen deprivation was his only excuse for the way his hand moved again, fingers trailing further up Johnny's neck to span over the stubbled jaw now within his reach.

Their gazes held, and Simon's sense of time disappeared in the undertow. The heat overwhelmed him, a flush working up his chest and onto his neck. His thumb stroked over a scruffy chin, then over the corner of parted lips.

He wondered vaguely if something really was wrong with him as the weight on his chest increased, breaths coming in quiet gasps.

A puff of air blew over the pad of his thumb when he finally broke through that last barrier and stroked over Johnny's lips.

Hey sheith fam! Since many of us have been considering moving to Tumblr following the Elon Musk debacle, I figured I'd make things easier by compiling a list of sheithers' blogs to check out!

I did my best to only add those who are still active and still making sheith content. I've also tried to group the blogs to make it easier to go through (even those with one or two fics/art go under authors/artists provided they engage with other sheith content)

I do apologize for tagging, but tumblr does not give recurring notifications for tagged posts, so hopefully it does not bother you guys too much.

If I have missed you and you would like to be tagged, would like to not be tagged, or would like to be shifted to a different category, please let me know. And feel free to promote your sheith content in the reblogs and replies

(Edit: Authors, other creators, and other sheithers are now in a reblog bc tumblr won't let me tag that many people in 1 post)

I have been fortunate to commission and trade for wonderful art of my Darcy Shepard from these lovely people, and I thought I’d try putting it all together along with a couple of screenshots. It means the world to me that you’ve taken such care with my girl even when I’m slow and fussy.

@domirine​ thank you for putting Darcy in a dress but letting her keep her boots, and for the spot-on attitudes for each outfit!

@kibagib​ I love the colours so much, and the little elements of the profile that make it her.

@blasteddoodles​ the hatching is beautiful, and it was hard to choose whether to put the red or blue version in this!

@theheroofoakvale​ you made her look so nice! And then so tired (accurate).

@beelzeebub​ I adore the ME1 (and earlier) vibes, the lighting and background, and how she just looks so done with everything.

Based on “Legacy” by Kota Suzuki ft. Ali Edwards (DMC5 song). Written and sung by me a cappella, “Destiny” is made from Chris’ POV, how broken he is and how much he’s hurting since the events ocurred on RE6. But he’s still hopeful, hopeful that he’ll find him.

I hope you guys like this new song, even more my dear friend Naroa since it’s for her <3 Go follow her and her beautiful art. These are her sites:

I've started to question my own sanity. I must remember where I stand; I shall persist, holding my own ground.

I have this feeling too strong to overlook. I'm sure you're out there. I will get you back. That is my destiny. Finding you. That is my destiny

"Simon falls to his knees in front of John and rests his hands on the backs of John's calves. His eyes are like nothing John's ever seen; looking into them is like drowning in amber pools of devastation and desperation and something... something broken all at once..."

His heart leaps in his chest as Simon reaches out and takes hold of his free hand.

"So. Tomorrow."

"Aye. What about it?"

"You gonna make me ask?"

"Maybe I like it when ye actually tell me what ye want instead of leaving me guessing."

A surge of embarrassment floods through John at the breathy quality of his voice. He clears his throat and tries to look down, but Simon's finger catches him under the chin and gently tips his head up even as Simon leans closer. Their faces are inches apart, and John is working so hard not to hyperventilate from the overwhelming need to lift up on his toes and press their mouths together that he almost misses Simon's reply.

"Tempting," Simon murmurs. "I want a lot of things."

Fucking hell.

Simon slouches lower in his seat, and their chairs are close enough together that their knees brush. John fights back another blush and then scowls when he notices Simon's stupid smirk, visible due to the mask still rolled up past his nose. Simon glances at John again before pressing his knee more firmly into John's.

"Proud of yerself, are ye?" John grumbles.

"A little," Simon admits before adding in a low, teasing tone, "Always like seein' you blush."

"John's eyes fly open as fingers trail over his waist... and goosebumps erupt over his body, raising the hairs on his arms and neck. He can feel the heat radiating off Simon from how close he is.

He should push Simon away. Or at least step away himself.

But he doesn't. Because he's still a complete fucking fool."

"Ghost catches Johnny's fingers between his own. He threads their scarred skin and knuckles together like interwoven lines in a story of all the wounds treated with out-of-date med kits and near misses ridden out in cramped waiting rooms, all the terrible jokes stuttered through gritted teeth and laughter barked through comm lines, all the desperation embossed in tender skin and pleas whispered into panting mouths. Johnny's heart races, pounding like it might jump out of his chest and into Ghost's... into Simon's scarred hands."

John comes back to himself when Simon starts rocking. It's a subtle motion — no more than a centimeter or two of distance between the back and forth — but John's only seen him do it a few times, mostly when he's exhausted, hovering on the edge of sleep, or injured and hopped up on meds. 

John raises a hand.

Hesitates.

Reaches forward.

Simon jolts, but he doesn't move away as John rests his hand in the curve of Simon's shoulder blade and rubs his hand in small circles. Simon stops rocking and leans into the touch.

"Thank ye for telling me about Makarov," John murmurs. "I... I needed to know."

"John whips his head around. Or tries to.

The world spins violently with the movement, and even the cane isn't enough to save him. He's had plenty of tumbles, especially during the first two years of his recovery, so he knows there's nothing he can do to prevent it now. Not when his head will be wobbling for the next few minutes.

Suddenly, he's surrounded by thick arms that hold him up and press him into a solid chest. His cane hits the wood floor with a clatter as his head continues to spin...

He swallows and doesn't look up as he curls his hand into Simon's hoodie and says, "Ye cannae startle me like tha', Simon. I'll fall."

Simon lets out a heavy breath that rustles through Johnny's loose hair. "Sorry."

"Ye didnae know."

"Shoulda, though."

John shrugs, unwilling to argue the truth."

A bit of comfort

Price offers MacTavish the comfort of a hand on the shoulder as he deals with the aftermath of a certain Simon "Ghost" Riley.

Giant thanks once again to @kibagib for this fantastic art of a scene from chapter 2 of Broken Bones and Shattered Hearts. I can't even begin to explain how lovely Kiba has been to work with through the whole process (and also puts up with me going on and on and on about character motivations and minute details that never make it into the story). It's been amazing. Thank you so much!!!

Ch. 8 - Set 'em Up

John and Simon take time to talk through a few big topics. And John's next job with the MOD might be a little more interesting than he first anticipated…

"If I wanted to know something but it was classified information, would ye tell me?" John ... pauses, leans back, and peers through the open door into his bedroom to judge Simon's response. As his gaze sweeps over the room, he ignores the nerves that prickle to life under his skin. It's just because he had an exceptionally hard week. And a few disturbing dreams. And, alright, maybe it's a little bit because an unmasked Simon Riley is sitting in his bed in jogging pants and a t-shirt, his back propped up by John's pillows as he calmly reads an Agatha Christie novel. An image right out of his wildest fantasies.

Ch. 7 - Breaking the Cycle

John finally talks to Fi, who isn't happy about the developments. Simon keeps his promise to stay in touch as John works on Laswell's project, which leads to a few more important conversations… and more conflicting emotions for John.

A sense of calm washes over him, and he nods to himself. "Say yer piece, Fi." "I dinnae understand, John," she bursts out in a wavering tone. "What he did... how he treated ye... how can ye just let him... Christ!" John is horrified to see a tear escape from behind her hand. He takes a step forward and reaches out, though he's too far away to touch her. He lets his hand fall back to his side as the shattered pieces of his heart tremble with sorrow.
