[mikelogan]

Hi, I love your blog and your edits. I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on how you combine multiple gifs into one in the first gif of yours MIKELOGAN’s 5K FOLLOWER CELEBRATION || GET TO KNOW ME MEMEFAVORITE ACTORS [2/10]Colin Firth (September 10, 1960) set? Thank you for reading this and helping me.

thank you so much, that's so kind!! this is the post in question (which was inspired by this gorgeous set) and i'll break down how to do it step by step below the cut!

i ended up saving this gif as a psd because i remember it taking me so long and being really frustrating, i just wasn't sure why. for reference, i posted that set back in september, just over four months ago. looking at the psd, i can see just how far i've grown as a gifmaker bc that thing is a hot mess. i made it about 3x more complicated than it needed to be, so let's do this the right way lol note: i was still using 0.07 frame rate at this point. i have since switched to 0.05 for smoother, quicker gifs.

what we're going to do is create all of these gifs separately and put them together at the end. in total, there are 6 individual gifs. let's start with harry.

i gif by importing video frames to layers, but if you prefer to screencap, load those in instead. because this ends up being a pretty large gif, both in size and length, i kept it to 20 frames per clip.

once you're satisfied with the frames you've chosen, crop your canvas to 540px x 540px. this is what i'm left with

this is when i sharpen my gifs. everyone's process is a little different. i created my own sharpening action, which converts my frames to video timeline and then sharpens.

the next step is to color your gif. if you're going for the overall look in mine, here were my layers:

a brightness/contrast layer with brightness set to 31 and contrast to 5. this will depend on the scene you're working with

a levels layer using the black and white eyedroppers. the top one is your black eyedropper. to use it, click it and select the blackest part of your gif. do the same with the white eyedropper and select the lightest part of your gif. you may need to play around with selecting different points depending on your scene and the original coloring

finally, a simple black & white gradient map layer on top

now we're going to add the thin rectangular border in the middle of the gif. i use the rectangle shape tool for this (press U on your keyboard) and these are my settings (x and y coordinates don't matter):

to center it perfectly, i use ctrl+T and drag it until it snaps into place with both the vertical and horizontal guides.

next, let's add the "choose your gentleman" text that goes at the top of the border. here is the font i chose and its settings:

once again, press ctrl+t and drag this to the vertical center of your gif and to the center of the top of the border. you should feel and see it snap into place. this is what we have now:

now, we're going to use a layer mask on the border so we can read the text. select the rectangle layer and click the layer mask button

with the layer mask selected (as shown in the second image), use the rectangular marquee tool (M on your keyboard) to draw a rectangle around your text, taking care to keep it just a little larger

as you can see, you'll know when you're perfectly centered through your text layer and vertically on the entire canvas. select your brush tool without deselecting this rectangle (B on your keyboard) and paint the selection with a black brush. this masks that part of the border!

let's add the small square gif that goes at the bottom of the border now. i think the easiest way of doing this is to use the rectangular shape tool (U) again. the size of this gif is 110x110, so create a black square of that size with no stroke. Use ctrl+T to drag it to the center of the bottom of the border (the x and y coordinates don't matter):

now duplicate your original gif layer (ctrl+J) and drag it to the top of the layer panel. right click on it and create clipping mask. this will make it so the gif only appears within the confines of the square we just created. resize your gif by using ctrl+T and, making sure the proportions are locked, drag the corners to the edges of the square.

this gif is not colored at all as we only duplicated the gif itself and not the coloring layers. i duplicated those as well and dragged them on top of our small gif, but it's important to make sure those are using the clipping mask as well. you can click this on the properties layer of each adjustment layer to make sure they do.

you'll know you've been successful when you see the small arrow next to each of your coloring layers. this keeps them from affecting the coloring of the larger, main gif.

we're going to change the gradient map adjustment layer from black & white to black & lime green (or the color of your choosing). click on that layer and then on the map. this will bring up the gradient editor. click on the small white color stop at the far right end of the gradient and then on the color picker, choose a new color.

the hex code i used for the lime green is #00ff0c

our last steps are the angle brackets on either side of the gif and harry's name in the center. here are the settings i used for those (angle brackets on the left and harry on the right):

the layer styles for harry's name (double click on the text layer to call up this menu OR right click > blending options):

and for the angle brackets:

by now, you know how to utilize ctrl+T to move these layers where you'd like them. harry's name is centered horizontally and vertically and rotated at a bit of an angle and the angle brackets are centered horizontally and i just eyeballed where to put them in relation to the space between the border and the edge of the gif.

this is the complete first gif. what i would do for your own sanity since you have two more of these two create is 1) save it as a psd just in case something crashes and 2) don't convert it to a smart object until you have all 3 gifs completed and are ready to put them together.

the nice part about having the first one done is you've ultimately done the hard part. create your two other gifs, but you'll be using at least roughly the same coloring and all the same text, just with the colors adjusted, so you can drag those layers from your completed first gif to your others as you work on them.

once you have all 3 gifs completed and still on 3 separate canvases (and saved as psds bc this is adobe friggin photoshop and shit breaks all the time), convert all layers on all the gifs to smart objects. this will simplify the final gif and make things much easier.

then, bring gif #2 and gif #3 both onto gif #1's canvas. this is what it will look like at first on the timeline and in your layer panel:

(full disclosure, i'm not making the other two lmao, i'm lazy and i already did it once in a way harder way 😂)

to get the gifs to play after one another rather than simultaneously, you just have to drag them after one another on the timeline!

a little bit hard to show the actual process, but you're just clicking the bertie layer and dragging it down to harry's line after the harry layer. then do the same with the jamie layer, dragging it down to the harry layer after bertie. when you're done, it should look like this:

btw, the little slider i circled is what enlarges or shrinks the timeline view, so if you need to see something broken down a bit more/slower, drag it to the right. if you need to zoom out, drag it to the left.

and that's it! export and save your gif!

if you have any questions or anything is at all unclear about this, please let me know! i'm happy to help!

jealous? (smut) part 1

Part 1 --- Part 2 --- Part 3 (part 2 and 3 are on my wattpad @willpoulterswife)

word count: 1.2k - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - fluff, eventual smut

*beep beep beep* your alarm went off at 8:30 am. needing time to get ready, you sighed as you got up to start the morning. it would be your first day working as an intern for a game-developing company named Tuckersoft. being pretty new to this area as you had just moved, your place was in good condition. wanting to make a good first impression, you took a shower, did your hair and changed into a nice outfit, and applied light makeup. feeling good, you walk out of your apartment, turning up the music in your earbuds, only to see a blonde man, no older than 25, fidgeting with the door handle that presumably led to his apartment. thinking nothing of it, you head into the lift and out of the building. the crisp and semi-cold air hit you as you stepped outside, being glad it wasn't hot otherwise you might've melted. conveniently, the office you would be working at was only a few blocks down, so you could walk to it. "This it it." you whisper to yourself. taking out your earbuds and slightly fixing up your hair.

when you walk in you are greeted by Mr.Thakur, your boss. you two had spoken before when he was doing your interview to see if you were fit for the position. (good thing you were) "Hello y/n, it's a pleasure to see you again! Please, come into my office." together you discussed the workload for today which, to your disappointment, was only sorting through papers. while in your head you thought it was a little dumb, you didn't show it on your face and agreed. "Now follow me," Thakur said, "There are a few people I would like you to meet." he introduced you to almost everyone on the floor since you would be working with some of them often. taking a stop at the last cubicle, he said "And finally we have Colin."

you recognized the man's face from your apartment building, but didn't mention it. you were hesitant to greet him as he looked far in the zone, but Thakur tapped his shoulder and he pulled of his headphones. "Hello, I'm y/n." you said, giving a warm and gentle smile. you see it in his face that the man seemed to have remember you as well, saying "I'm Colin, yeah?" shaking your handing and then pushing his glasses up. "Ah no need to be cold Colin. Come on, show her what you've been working on!" Thakur said cheerfully. he's told you about the boy before, saying how he was his star employee. you took his word for it, but were still interested in him. the blonde started up the game and said "This is my latest, it's called Nohzdyve." playing a little through the game, there seemed to have been a glitch. "Buffer error." you quietly blurted out, but just enough for them to hear and they both look at you. awkwardly, you try to revive yourself in the situation "The sprites have overrun the video game memory..." your cheeks turning to light pink. "How did you know that?" Colin asks. Then, Thakur turns to Colin giving him a hearty pat on the back "Looks like you've got some company" he states, chuckling afterwards. "Anyways, you two will be working together. For now, y/n will be helping sort your papers and may be able to help you out if you get stuck on something, have fun." he places some of Colin's papers onto your desk and grins, walking away. you turn to look at Colin and after a few seconds he looks back at you saying, "Well, let's start."

as you were working together, you and Colin seemed to get along naturally, without having to force anything. (almost as if you two had met before...) being Colin's temporary assistant is not what you had in mind, but you didn't mind it at all. the conversations between you two were effortless and it seemed like you were both interested in the other. the two of you enjoyed each other's presence. actually, you found him quite handsome and the way he focused while coding games made you focus on him and not the papers. "Y/N," Colin said, snapping you out of your bubble. "It's lunch break, wanna grab a drink?" you nod your head and stand up, flustered that he caught you staring. honestly, you didn't even have an appetite, you just wanted to be around him. he felt the same way.

walking through the small city, talking about anything and everything. you were glad you had him as a colleague. both of you find a coffee shop not far away from the office building. Colin greets the barista, "I'll have a (idfk any drinks be fr). What do you want love?" he says, turning to you. "I," you take a second to think "I'll get the (insert ur drink here) please." grabbing your card out of the wallet, you tap him on the shoulder and attempt to give it to him. he pushes the card away with his finger, "It's alright, pretty girls don't pay." Colin says while taking his card out. you thank him for being so polite and a rose color appears on your face again. he smirks and takes the two coffees, handing one to you. a bench outside attracts your attention and you sit down and pat the spot beside you. Colin starts the conversation,

"So what made you choose here? We live in the same apartment and I've never seen you before, meaning you're new." this definitely meant he saw you walk out. you respond with, "We'll I've heard of Tuckersoft and happened to like video games, and coding." he quips back, "You like coding? I could've sworn you like sorting papers." you found it really funny and started to laughed. being a more serious type of guy, Colin rarely laughs, but your laugh made him laugh, and he found that cute. "No, you're right, I really like being your personal assistant." coming out more flirtatious than you intended it to be, he returned the gesture "Oh yeah? Prove it to me darling."

more weeks go by since that interaction and your "friendship" grew. Thakur had gotten rid of the "papers" job and had put you and Colin to work on games together. being put next to him almost all day, staying up late with him, making flirty remarks towards one another, you would be lying if you said you didn't have a crush on him. Colin gestures for you to come over to him. "What's up Col?"

"Can't seem to find the mistake here, could you help?" you reply with a small mhm. wanting there to be more between you, and feeling bold today, you sit right on his lap. Colin's eyebrows raise but he would be lying if he said he hated it, because he loved it. unconsciously, you move a little bit and it makes Colin's breath hitch slightly, biting his lip a bit. he takes both hands and places them on your hips, making sure you're stable. you fix his error within a couple of minutes, "All done." you say innocently, getting up, making sure to move a little more, and returning to your side of the desk.

this full story is on my wattpad!!! <3 (link on blog)

Damian Wayne headcanons: “Totally can make girls swoon as long as he’s not standing next to Damian (we’ll talk about Damian’s body and pretty boy features in another post)”, can we get that post discussing Damian’s pretty boy features and how he most likely gets the most people coming after him thx to his perfect mix of Talia and Bruce’s genes (Talia’s brown skin color, her green cat shaped eyes w/long eyelashes, Bruce’s face (tho I headcanon the older dami gets the more he physically resembles Talia until the resemblance is uncanny, or he grows to become a perfect match of both his parents facial features), hairline (unless dami grows his hair out a little more in the future), the Wayne charm etc.)????????? Also how the others (Collin, Jon, & Billy) attractive looks attract others as well?????

Honestly, I totally forgot that Tumblr existed for a while so thess are way overdue. But here we go.

Also, excuse Damian's for being hella long but I've had a lot of time to think about Damian

Ok I also have a feeling that I haven't mentioned this before ...

All my content for these boys is aged up, which means they aren't a gaggle of 12 year olds. I'm imagining them between the ages of 16 and 18 unless otherwise stated.

DAMIAN WAYNE, JON KENT, COLIN WILKES, AND BILLY BATSON FEATURES HEADCANONS

--------

DAMIAN WAYNE

Damian has green eyes, I know people will argue and say he has blue but his eyes are definitely a dark mossy green.

Though they definitely have the capability of changing color in the sunlight, they light up and turn into lighter shades depending on the lighting and time of day, but personally I think they are a dark mossy green.

I don't want to spend too much time on Damian's eyes but for example, in Gotham they tend to be darker because of the atmosphere, whereas when Damian goes to see Jon in Metropolis, they'll be lighter shades because of the sunlight

He 100% has Talia's eyes, and facial structure. I can see him having more of Bruce's features, but his facial and body structure is closer to Talia.

Strong jawline but softer than Bruce's. Damian looks a bit like Bruce but not as sharp, so to speak. His face is slimmer and more rounded, his eyes are more pointed and are sharper but Bruce's are wider.

Bruce is ruggedly handsome, Damian is flawlessly pretty.

Damian's body structure is closer to Talia's too.

I don't see Damian really being able to pack on muscle mass in the future like Bruce. As Damian gets older his body structure looks a lot like Dick's, he's very well fitted.

He does have nice biceps tho. To the point where when he moves you could feel the muscle flex underneath if you were touching them

(If you haven't experienced this personally with anyone, I highly suggest it. Biceps are hot.)

He doesn't have thick thighs like Jason, but he's still very muscular. Sometimes it's hard to tell unless he's flexing, he's not busting out of his clothes, but he is quite strong.

On to other features, Damian isn't white.

I think we've all established it by now but just to make sure.

His skin is a lot like Talia's, light olive skin. Though, in the summer, if Damian gets even the smallest ounce of light he tans instantly. I'm the winters in Gotham, one might mistake him for white because his skin is lighter but once he's put next to Tim it's easy to see that he's not.

Damian has perfect eyebrows. Nothing else needs to accompany this. His eyebrows are flawless.

Ok, so hair. Another thing I've seen some disagreement on.

I believe Damian's hair is Black, like Bruce. But unlike Bruce it's not coarse and heavy. It's light, wispy and soft. When he was younger at the manor he used to gel it up, but now that he's older he's come to realize that it'll just go wherever he wants and it will be fine.

Damian's voice, which I've kinda already covered, is wide range. He can sound like a little girl or Corpse. He generally leans towards a deeper voice, it vibrates a little so if he's talking while you're touching him in some way you can feel the grumble.

He hums a lot. Not musically, but in response to things. He's taken up a habit of humming into words, like saying "mkay" instead of "okay".

I strongly believe that Damian doesn't laugh, he chuckles. Deep, hearty chuckles that make anyone whose near stop and listen to him laugh. He also snickers and sharply exhales through his nose to make that snorting/snickering sound, I don't know what it's called but I think you can guess what I'm talking about.

Damian doesn't have veiny hands, sorry to disappoint. But his hands are very soft for being a swordsman. His skin is very smooth and he doesn't have many imperfections. No birthmarks because of the Artificial Womb, courtesy of Talia.

Not me going back to his eyes, but he squints a lot. Out of confusion, anger, just looking at something, disgust. His eyes generally take the shape of siren eyes, so it doesn't look unnatural that he gives people sharp looks unintentionally.

His lips are on the thinner side but are still soft. Boy definitely uses chapstick. He doesn't have a big mouth or a little one, he's very well proportioned.

Probably has a plump bottom lip tho

Many know this but he frowns a lot. It's not because he's upset, but it's his thinking face. His eyebrows scrunch together when he's doing this too. If he's thinking about something unpleasant his nose with wrinkle. When Damian's thinking hard he looks very confused and upset.

Nicely shaped abs. He has a long torso

HELLA PRETTY SHOULDERS AND BACK MUSCLES MY GUY

Smells like pine needles and sandalwood. Definitely a rich person scent that's strong but not overpowering.

-----------

BILLY BATSON

Figured I would start with Billy because if we're ranking them, he's the second prettiest.

Personal opinion but you'll see what I mean.

So Billy's eyes are brown. Like a dark, chocolate brown.

Some people might say "Well in the dcau and Young Justice they're blue" but I have a personal belief that they're brown. How many blue eyed superheroes and children of superheroes are there? Too many. They're brown.

In the sun they turn into a dark honey color

DEFINITELY has light freckles across his cheeks, I mean really light tho. You would have to be pretty close to him to see them

Billy's hair is soft, and medium brunette.

it's sort of straight, but kinda wavy

the length of it depends on the season, for instance in the summer he has it cut shorter in the back. But in the winter he lets it grow out a bit more

The skinniest of the bunch but it suits him

He's not SKINNY tho, I mean he's being compared to Superboy, Batman's son, and a Gym Rat Gothamite, cut the little guy some slack

Billy has very slender, lean build. Most likely doesn't have Damian-level muscle but he's still easy on the eyes shirtless

Billy has a a bit of a lopsided smile that sometimes expresses laziness

Teeth smile 100%

He has that sort of soft handsome look

Where Damian is very sharp and defined Billy is smooth

He has softer cheek bones (squishy cheeks) and a defined yet round jawline

Billy has thinner lips

I'm not sure how to describe them honestly

Very calm deep voice, deepest voice of the bunch, adding on to this I imagine that he likes to sing and is the best vocalist in the group

His laugh, contrast to Damian, is boisterous and very open mouthed. He's loud and sometimes it sounds like a cackle, but most of the time Billy has a charming laugh that fills the room

Billy almost smells sugary with a hint of linen. Like warm bed sheets but they were washed next to a bakery.

(He once accidentally stole Mary's Japanese Cherry Blossom lotion and now has this sort of addiction to cherry scented things)

Honestly, Billy smells like a lot of things all the time, so the best description is that he smells very warm and sweet

Boy is part of the super soft hands club

Long. Freaking. Eyelashes.

Like, they might tickle you when you kiss him long

(This isn't a romance headcannon but he would be a great person to kiss, OOOH NEXT POST IDEA)

------------

JON KENT

Ok so on to Jonathan

So our boys eyes are a sky blue

An open sky in the country, and where some eyes have grey tones, Jon's don't

Dark, black hair that has a loose curl to it

A lot of times it hangs down in his eyes so he developed a tendency to play with his hair

He has one of those headbands that comb/hold back your hair, and he wears it a lot

Wouldn't wear it around the guys, there's no way Colin wouldn't make a little fun of him for it. Damian honestly wouldn't care and Billy would probably buy one once he sees Jon wear it

He has pretty fair skin, but tans often due to being in the Sun at the farm a lot.

Has tan lines on his wrist and ankles from bracelets, he's that kind of guy

I mentioned in a previous post that Jon isn't really big on sweating so our boy probably always smells very clean

His scent is lemony with a hint of linen.

Not that the other boys don't smell clean, Jon is just less musky

Jon us bulkier than Damian and Billy, but smaller than Colin.

Another member of the super soft hands club, as well as the pretty shoulders club

he has a soft voice, but it also holds a lot of energy. He talks fast

the highest pitched voice of the bunch, and for the longest time was slightly squeaky.

lovely sounding voice, can't sing for shit tho. Hes a bit tone deaf.

has DEFINED dimples, the king of dimples

always has a content look on his face, looks and is incredibly friendly

I have a feeling Jon doesn't have completely straight teeth, but still a beautiful, toothy smile

he isn't a mouth breather but has a habit of staring at people with his mouth open a bit.

kinda like a goldfish

lip biter (In the cute/hot way)

(ok so my best comparison for Jon is Dave Lizewski from Kick-Ass. I feel like they would have similar energy. I feel like he and Jon would sound similar as well.)

Toned abs. He doesn't even try, they just happen

nice arms, not super huge but you can visibly see the muscle

His entire vibe is secretly buff nerd boy

loves his glasses, only takes them off when he suits up

they're the round-ish square ones with the iron rim (Dave Lizewski glasses)

sharp jawline, but has a square face

Pouty, thick lips

Jon has fairly big hands, and skinny fingers.

Slightly veiny hands

Has never had a lick of acne in his life so incredibly clean face

Definitely a pretty boy

----------

COLIN WILKES

Colin is definitely the scraggiliest of the 4

Silly ginger boy

Has straight-ish hair but probably got a perm at some point and it kinda worked for him so he's recently discovered that if he puts stuff in his hair and takes care of it right he has some natural wave

Puppy dog brown eyes that look like melted chocolate

Used to have freckles but they faded as he got older so you only see them if you're extra close

Colin had the widest smile of the group

Never had braces because he couldn't afford it so his teeth are a bit uneven

But they were significantly worse when he was a middle schooler so he's glad they figured themselves out a bit

BIG BOY

THE BIGGEST BOY

This dude has the broadest shoulders of the group, the thickest thighs, the meatiest arms.

Colin is built like a tank

Has the veiniest hands, and they never go away. Just constant veins

Is ALWAYS smirking/smiling.

Has a look on his face that always makes it seem like he'd done something bad and he's proud of it

Obviously he hasn't but it somehow lands him in trouble 9/10 times

Colin is the palest of the group, not just because he roasts like a turkey in the son but because he obviously lives in Gotham, where sunlight doesn't exist

Like Billy, his lips are on the thinner side, but they're NEVER chapped. Loves chapstick, probably would eat it

Colin has a fairly round face, when he was younger he had huge gigantinormous ears, but by 15 he had grown into them

If any of the boys had a glow up it was Colin, he went from Kiddo to Daddy within a summer

Smells like grass and mahogany. Also lysol. Sometimes leather. It depends on what time of day it is.

In the morning, it's lysol and leather because that's when he goes to the gym. But after he showers it's mahogany and like Irish spring. But by the end of the day, for some reason he smells like grass and no one can figure out why

Colin's just kinda strange

His voice is lower than Jon's, but slightly higher than Billy's. (When he's Abuse his voice is much, much deeper)

It's rumbly

Has the best morning voice

When Colin laughs, it's a cackle. He sounds like a hyena

Definitely has toned muscles. The most defined muscles of the group

Has ENORMOUS hands

Rough and calloused from weightlifting but the rest of him is fairly soft

Rougher face because he shaves, puberty hit him HARD

He's not pretty, he's hot

“Not going home yet?”

You look up from the mound of paperwork sprawled across the surface of your desk to see your fellow detective, Colin Zabel, leaning against the door frame of your office, his arms crossed over his chest. He looked almost as tired as you were, dark bags under his eyes and the tie around his neck loose.

You let out a bereaved sigh, shutting the Manila folder closed in front of you and rubbing your palms across your face in an effort to wake yourself up.

“No. I still have like, 3 cases to sort and file. It’s going to be a long night.”

“Same here, everyone else went home like, an hour ago,” Colin just had to rub in the fact you could be home right now, having a hot shower and dressing into your pyjamas before tucking yourself into your warm, cosy bed. The thought alone made you want to whine.

“Wanna come and sit in here with me? Might make the time go by faster,” you offered, motioning over to the spare seat on the other side of your desk.

Colin bit his lip, smiling shyly before nodding his head. Since he’d been stationed in Easttown, he hadn’t really had the time or opportunity to get to know you, and vice versa. Maybe this would be a good time to build some sort of professional relationship.

“Alright, I’ll bring in my work,” Colin nodded again before disappearing down the hall to his own office.

When he returned, it looked like he couldn’t possibly hold anymore paperwork in his hands. It had almost toppled before he made his way over to your desk. You stood to help him, reaching out to halve his pile and stack it down onto the desk.

“Thanks,” he mutters, finally taking a seat across from you and shifting to get comfortable.

“That’s alright,” you replied shortly, leaning over your desk to grab a pen that had rolled to the edge.

You’d forgotten that you’d unbuttoned your shirt slightly to feel more relaxed, and leaning over your desk had the black lace of your bra and cleavage on show to your colleague. Colin’s breath hitched in his throat as he stared, not seeming to snap out of his perverted gaze. His palms started to sweat as his stomach flipped, just at the sight of your bare skin. He’d already developed a small crush on you, seeing you strut around the office in the sexiest pair of tights and the most figure hugging skirts. He’d tried to keep it at bay and maybe that’s why he’d never mustered the courage to really talk to you.

“Are you okay, detective?” You asked as you noticed how flushed he suddenly looked.

He awkwardly cleared his throat and blinked a few times before shaking his head.

“Yeah sorry, just tired s’all,” Colin confirmed, sticking his nose into his paperwork so that he couldn’t embarrass himself any further. Was he really that sexually deprived that the mere glimpse of your cleavage had a tent form in the front of his slacks?

You hadn’t taken much notice despite how worried Colin was that you might’ve. You sat in silence across from each-other for what felt like another twenty minutes before you finally spoke.

“I don’t really know much about you Zabel, what’s your situation?” You asked nonchalantly, licking your thumb before turning a page.

Colin caught a glance of the tip of your tongue as it poked out from between your pink lips, and it made his spine tingle just thinking of how it might look pleasing his cock. He wasn’t in the right mindset right now to finish his work, god, he needed you to ask him questions to distract him from his filthy thoughts.

“Uh-” Colin scratched the back of his head, thinking of what to say before answering, “I work all over Pittsburg as a state detective, I currently live with my mom but it’s only temporary,” it sparked your interest that he’d still lived with his mom and not a partner. You always thought Detective Zabel was a good-looking guy, and he seemed nice, respectable and hardworking. You wondered why he was still single. Then again, so were you and you knew there could be many reasons.

“Living in her basement then?” You teased, taking a moment to savour his embarrassment. He let out a strained laugh before shaking his head.

“No, I know it sounds kind of pathetic. But with moving around all the time, it makes sense. And she’s always prepared to help me out,”

“No partner then?” You just had to ask.

“Um no, I was engaged but- that kinda ended a while ago,” he suddenly got quiet, and it made you feel bad you’d brought it up in the first place.

“Oh. I’m sorry to hear that,” you said sincerely, reaching out without a thought and placing your hand over his. It shocked him when he felt your warm touch, but he knew it was only to console him.

“No that’s alright,” he laughed nervously, “like I said it was a while ago, just haven’t had much time to date since then, you know?”

“No I know,” you chuckled in resonation, “I’m on the same page, but I have my own place.”

“Yeah it’s so hard to find someone who understands how demanding this job is,” Colin scoffed, frowning on the inside as you retracted your hand that was over his.

“No partner then?” Colin reciprocated your question, and you nodded in amusement.

“Yeah, no partner. Haven’t been able to find someone either. Easttown is a small place, I feel like I’ve already exhausted my options.”

Colin just nodded, before you both fell into an awkward silence.

“Hey I’ll tell you what?” You pull open your desk drawer, and retrieve the small flask you’d hidden in case of “emergencies”, “wanna take a couple swigs with me? I guess to celebrate the… celibate life.”

Colin laughs, crossing his arms over his chest as he considers it. You had an image of being a bit of a loose cannon, but he never imagined you’d suggest drinking on the job. He was always afraid to step out of his comfort zone, and it seemed right now you were the one who wasn’t afraid to push his boundaries.

“Come on Zabel,” you egged on, “it’s not like we’re on call.”

You take a couple of swigs yourself and wince as the strong alcohol burns your throat. You wipe your mouth with the back of your hand shyly, and offer it to Colin. He takes a moment to process exactly what was happening right now, before he decides “fuck it” and takes the flask from your hand. Your fingers brush as he takes it from your hold, and Colin finds his heart hammering in his chest again. What was wrong with him? Why couldn’t he just keep it together for once?

Without another thought, Colin takes the biggest swig you’d think possible. You gasp in a giggle as Colin begins to splutter and gag, trying to swallow all the alcohol he’d taken into his mouth. It wouldn’t help his case that all he’d eaten today was whatever he could get his hands on from the vending machine in the foyer, mostly crisps and cans of pop.

“That’s enough for you Zabel,” you tease again, taking the flask from your colleague and setting it back down into your drawer.

—-

“So you’re telling me, you accidentally stepped on Mare’s vape?” You shook your head in laughter as Colin bent over the desk, letting out his own snorts. You were so deep in conversation, disclosing everything and nothing about yourselves you hadn’t realised how late it was, or how badly the alcohol had affected the both of you.

“Yeah she- she was looking for it everywhere, and she got so angry, it was so funny,” Colin howls, slapping a hand on his knee. You took a moment to glance at him, revelling in the way his smile dented his cheeks with the sweetest dimples. Maybe the alcohol was giving you confidence and dissipating your filter, because you couldn’t stop the word vomit that was coming out of your mouth.

“You know Zabel, you’re super attractive, I know you’ll find someone if not here, anywhere else, like, you don’t have to worry about that kind of stuff, you know?” You were a rambling mess but you couldn’t seem to stop it.

“Was there anyone in the office you ever found attractive like, that probably sounds weird but you know no one would be able to understand your job more than another cop, you know? I always think about it,” you bit your lip in an effort to let him respond now that your question was out in the open.

He coughed awkwardly, and you felt your heart sink from how stupid you’d just been.

“I’m sorry- you don’t have to answer that, I think it’s the alcohol, it’s-”

“Why do you ask that?” The alcohol was seemingly getting to Colin too, as his lips curled up into a smirk.

You gulped, suddenly feeling your palms sweat from the probing question.

“I guess I find you attractive,” you say, and internally wince from how forward you were being. Even intoxicated you hated being that dumb horny drunk person.

“I think you’re attractive too,” Colin replied, and suddenly your heart picked up pace rapidly, “I’ve had a crush on you since I got here.”

Under the false facade of confidence, Colin felt like a nervous wreck underneath. It was obviously easier to come out and say he found you attractive after you’d admitted it first, but now he wasn’t sure what you were both going to do with that information.

He watched as you got up from the opposite side of the desk, trailing your fingers across the surface of the desk as you made your way over to him. Colin swallowed thickly, turning his chair around to face you, slouched back and legs wide apart.

“So what are we going to do about it?” It was definitely the alcohol now, as you leant over so your faces were only inches apart. Colin got the answer to his question, and it was definitely the right one.

You could feel Colin’s warm breath as it fanned your face, his gaze switching between your eyes and your lips. You leant in impossibly closer. Colin’s stomach began to flip as he tried to decide in his head what he should do. You were in the station, in your office, with the slight chance of someone walking in on you at any moment. It was now or never, and Colin decided he’d cease the opportunity despite the risk, and closed the gap between your lips.

You were surprised he did it at first, and then slowly you melted into the velvet softness of his lips, and the way they moved in perfect rhythm with yours. You weren’t expecting him to be that good of a kisser. He seemed sweet and inexperienced, but his ministrations said otherwise.

Feeling the heat of the moment, Colin reaches forwards to grip onto your hips, and guides you to sit on his lap, straddling his pant-stricken leg. Your skirt rode up, exposing the lace trim of your stockings. Colin’s fingertips ran across the lace as his tongue explored your mouth, and with the mid of your thigh you could feel the tent in the front of his slacks. My god this was really happening right now, and you couldn’t believe you hadn’t done it earlier. Colin shuddered just feeling the trim he’d fantasied about so many times.

You were growing more aroused by the second just feeling the pressure of Colin’s thigh on your heat, and absentmindedly began to grind your hips.

You couldn’t help but moan into his mouth, as your fingers came up to tangle in his short hair, pulling roughly at the roots. Colin loved the sensation, and encouraged more moans from you as he began to bob his leg.

“Fuck Colin,” you called him by his name, and it surprised him how hot it sounded coming from your mouth. He needed more.

His lips trailed down your jaw as he continued to bob his leg, adamant he could feel the wetness of your panties through his pants. His cock was becoming painfully hard, throbbing with every moan and whimper that you made.

You could feel that telltale tightness in your groin as you began to work with Colin, his tongue tasting the skin on your neck, your body hot with passion and tingling with the desire to finish.

“This is so fucking hot, I’ve thought about this a million times,” Colin growled, “I can feel how wet you are through your panties.”

His words pushed you over the edge into a surreal state, stars exploding behind your closed eyelids as you reached your ultimate peak. You thighs shook around Colin’s, his leg not stopping until your forehead lay limp against his shoulder.

“That felt so good,” you whined, as Colin tore down the front of your shirt and unclasped your bra, letting the items fall to the floor in a heap.

“I wanna feel you, all of you,” Colin spoke shyly despite his assertiveness, opening his own shirt and unbuttoning his pants.

“Need you to fuck me,” you breathed out, standing to remove your skirt and panties, leaving you in nothing but your pair of lace tights. You thought Colin might like that.

Colin groaned just at the sight before him, before he too got up, his cock pulsing and red in need.

“Sit,” Colin demanded, his tone ravenous as he places a palm down on the desk.

You oblige happily, sitting down on the edge of the desk. Colin leans down and kisses you again with an open mouth, his tongue massaging yours as your legs wrap around his waist. He lines himself up at your entrance, and without another thought, sinks himself inside you.

Colin groans as he feels you stretch out from the thickness of his cock, feeling your warmth and soaking wetness as it wraps around him. Your fingernails dig into the skin on his shoulders as he fills you completely.

“Fuck,” Colin hisses, his eyes almost rolling from the sensation, “you feel fucking incredible.”

“Yes, please more,” you pine, caging him in with your legs.

Colin begins to piston his hips, sliding himself in and out of you at a pleasurable pace. The desk beneath you begins to creak with every thrust, punctuated by the moans you and Colin couldn’t help but let out.

The swollen tip of his cock begins to rub up against the soft spongey spot within you that has you almost in tears, and it only makes you grip onto him harder.

“Right there Colin! Oh my god,” you encourage him with your pleas, feeling your second peak impending with every ruthless thrust.

“That’s it, you gonna cum again?” Colin’s hands secured at your hips, holding you down onto the desk as he had his way with you.

“Oh my god, yes, yes I’m cumming!” A tingling sensation courses through your body for the second time, the pulse and clench around Colin’s cock paired with the bounce of your breasts enough to tip him over into a state of ecstasy.

“Oh fuck, me too,” Colin’s eyes squeeze shut as he lets go, releasing inside you and pulling out moments after.

He watches in awe as the cum drips from your core, your tired body fucked out and panting for air, your legs still spread for everything to be on show.

“I’ve wanted to do that forever,” Colin’s face lights up into a smile as you come to, straightening yourself out and standing to dress yourself.

“Looks like I’ve been missing out,” you tease, the alcohol in your system not as influential as it had been prior. Colin was sobering up too, but both of you had no regrets.

“Fuck!” Colin curses, staring down at the paperwork that was now crumpled and stained with cum. You let out a small giggle, as Colin picks up the pile of paper and tries to shake off the stain.

“Looks like we’ll be back tomorrow night,” you shrug, as Colin shakes his head in amusement.

“What a fucking night it’s been.”

[bronx-bomber87]

Hello all we’ve had an amazing string of Chenford and Tim/Lucy backstory goodness. S2 is very kind to us. This ep it tapers off a bit still have some Chenford but Rachel is re-introduced back into this and is the driving force of it. I mean with all the eps we just had you forget he’s even dating her tbh haha as I’ve said all season Rachel’s moments with Tim all have their purpose. Including this one. I would apologize for the lack of content but its not my fault LOL This will be much shorter than the last 4-5 have been ha but let’s get started :)

2x15 Hand-Off

Their scenes start off with the war bag room. Lucy is asking if Tim is nervous to meet Rachel’s dad? Tim doesn’t seem in the least phased by it. Lucy tells him it’s ok if he is just a hair scared. That Rachel adores her dad so much would make sense. Tim shrugs it off, thinks he has an in with him being a cop for 30 years. Lucy scoffs and says yeah but it was in a place that had 2 stoplights haha Tim doesn’t let her deter him and says a cop is a cop. LA or Mayberry.

This where it gets really adorable. First off I love his cute little smile when he says Mayberry. I think that show must be a good memory for him. One of his few in his childhood. He also seems so proud of himself for the reference. It goes way over her head sadly. Lucy is beyond confused and not getting his reference in the slightest. Cracks me up she gets him in so many ways but not this one LMAO. Tim gives up and says never mind…

They’re in the shop starting their day when Lucy asks where he’s taking her dad? Says it can’t be too fancy or he's gonna look like he is showing off. But he is visiting so a possible celebrity sighting wouldn't hurt. Tim delivers his answer proudly. Lucy approves (you know he secretly wanted that approval) He’s learned a thing or two since her birthday. Tim’s smiles when Lucy says she likes it. I love that its too cute. He seems pretty proud of his choice and the fact that she likes it. You know he's happy she isn't giving him any crap for his plans. He is a little more confident in his choice this time around than he was with her birthday gifts.

Rachel ends up calling Lucy interrupting their little moment. Tim is all cute and smiles until the phone call ends. Lucy has decided to recruit them to find her dad’s missing suitcase. Naturally they both see this situation differently. Lucy sees it as an opportunity to bond for Tim, to get off on the right foot with her dad etc. All Tim can see is the low solve rate and her father being disappointed in him cause of it.

Clearly impressing her dad is more important than he lead on…because well Tim. Lucy god love her thought she was doing it to help him. Always has his best interests at heart. Even when he so vehemently disagrees. All he can think about now is how they're not going to find it. That he will let her dad down before he can make a good impression. It’s awkward after that and Lucy goes on about their bread LMAO Her nervous rambles as Tim shakes his head. I love our girl so much.

Tim could not be cuter walking up to meet Rachel. Also his smile as Lucy and Rachel's dad get reacquainted. Then the awkwardness kicks in when they shake hands. Tim is doing his best to be respectful but is already striking out with him. The inner T.O. coming out in him. He tells Colin the chances of finding his suitcase is low. Crashing and burning fairly early into this intro.

Her dad bites back that a cop should have beat integrity and such. Tim says it’s easy to when you have 9 criminals LOL Oh Tim. Her dad says he’ll crack the case for him then by driving around. Tim's need to prove himself kicks in. He tries to fix it by inviting him into the shop. Says they can cruise around since he saw the guys face. Not doing so hot my love….

Lucy jumps in to help Tim. Invites Colin into the front seat says she can sit in the back while they drive around. Lucy makes sure to check back with Tim. She knows he isn’t happy about any of this. From being roped into it and now having to ride around with him. The need to prove himself is very real. Their body language in this scene cracks me up. Complete antithesis. She is taping her hands against her belt happily. She see's this as positive thing where all Tim is feeling is dread. You can sense his discontent.

What also cracks me up about this scene is it’s them in a moment. Lucy his sunshine human personified telling him to be positive, when literally that’s the last thing he wants to be LOL. Grumpy and Sunshine at their finest in this moment. His face in the last gif I’m dying. He’s so moody atm and her sunshine attitude about the whole thing is too funny. You can also see the panic on his face. We all know his deep rooted issues with his own father. To have to try and prove his worth on the spot to someone else’s not his idea of a good time…

The silent communication continues between these two. Just look at them above. They’re out looking with Colin and Tim says his spiel about LA. Her dad puts him in his place a little and Tim knows it. I love him checking in with her in the mirror. Lucy acknowledging him before he returns to the convo. It’s the little things I love so much with them. She does side with Tim in the fact this guy could be long gone.

Colin is strong in his resolve this guy is still around. He is so sure they're going to find him. They roll up on a taco spot where he spots the guy. Tim looks impressed. They confront the man and his partner jumps Lucy. She handles herself like a BAMF while Tim chases after the first guy. Colin clothes lines the guy fleeing impressing Tim further. It's a pretty good action sequence.

My fav kind of shot tall and smol in this scene. Why do I love their height difference so much? haha Whenever I see it just makes me smile. Colin is letting them know about how back in his town they didn't have partners. If you couldn't do the job alone you shouldn't be doing it. He forgets LA is crazy populated no way people could do this job solo. He really should be impressed by their dynamic together. They are alway so amazing to watch in the field together.

They look beyond adorable as they smile and look at each other after he says his partner bit. Lucy is happy she’s being called his partner and not just his rookie. (We all know she is more than just his rookie hehe) Tim is just looking proud she is his partner. God they cute.. They handled that whole takedown perfect together. They are so in sync with everything they do. From this arrest to this moment. I love them sfm. They are simpatico in the field it's a thing of beauty to behold really.

Colin finally gives Tim some praise. Something I think he wasn't expecting to get at all. He lets him know what a good cop he is. Starts listing off all the reasons why as well. Tim is all happy until he says ‘Just not for my daughter.’ Poor Tim looks crushed. I know he feels like he did all the right things and is still in the wrong with Colin. Seems like a backhanded compliment at this point. Praising him but also saying it's why he isn't right for her. What a gut punch to him. To praise him then use that as the very reason why he shouldn't be with her.

Tim defends himself and what he does passionately. Which I find very attractive. Something about the way Tim says ‘Sir, It’s every cops duty to’ *fans self* sexy af the way he wears his pride on his sleeve about his job. Yum Tum for me. Colin doesn’t chide Tim for wanting to go out into the darkness. That he was just like him. Putting the job first. Above his wife and above his daughter. The toll it took. He doesn’t want his daughter left alone in the dark. I get it but damn way to crush Tim.

This moment shows why Lucy is meant to be his person. She’ll join him in that fight in the dark. They’ll be together battling the crazy side by side. I.e. the s5 finale and the way they were a power couple in battle. Also why Rachel would not have worked out for him in that regard. The biggest take away from this scene is she’s not Lucy. Tim lays aside his career and job for her. He doesn't blink. You see in his defense he doesn’t say he would stay for Rachel instead of going out into the night. Only that it’s a a cops duty to....

I said earlier his scenes with or about Rachel has purpose. This is one of those moments. In this instance it’s to show why Lucy is his end all. The things he would be willing to do for her vs what he would do for Rachel. I mean hell look at this season. What he’s already done for Lucy while dating Rachel. Gave up a promotion to stay with her and the influence she has on his life. One of many things he does and will continue to do for her. Because when it’s the right one all the stuff Rachel's dad is posing at Tim right now doesn’t matter.

Tim tries one more shot at changing Colin’s mind. It’s then one of the main reasons her father doesn’t want her with Tim gets revealed. She might have Huntington’s disease. It’s hit his whole family. Rachel refuses to get tested to see if it’s hit her too. You can see Tim struggling really hard with this information. Clinging to the possibility it might not happen to her.

Colin then says once again that if she gets it she’ll need someone who will stay. Someone who will will give up everything to take care of her. That Tim isn’t that person. Not for Rachel he isn’t. We all know if it was Lucy he wouldn’t hesitate. There is hesitation in him during this. Can't blame him in the least. It's a lot of intense information to take in at once. This is once again the difference between Rachel and Lucy.

Tim of course goes to his safe space about this immediately. They’re talking about it at the station together. Lucy has looked up the disease and all its symptoms. I love him going right to her with this. Needing her perspective and take on this whole thing. Lucy had no idea Rachel might even have this. So she’s playing emotional catch up herself. Which unfortunately doesn't give Lucy enough time to advise him like she normally would since she is reeling herself.

Rachel meets up with them and blows up cause she finds out they both know. That her father has let them both know her secret. Lucy says how sorry she is. Tim tries to be sweet and have them talk about it. She refuses says it’s her life not his or her dads. Then takes off. Tim looking at Lucy like a wounded puppy. Hurts my heart to see him brushed off like that.

Rachel comes to find him afterwards. He drops everything to talk with her. He is incredibly sweet and understanding about why she hasn’t taken the test. Says he knows his job is unknown as well. Doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to do it every day. Tells her he’s not going anywhere when she gives him an out if he wants it. Such an honorable and good man. Ugh my heart. I adore this man so much. I loved getting this insight into him by watching how he is with her. How he is in a relationship. Pre-Lucy. When he loves he loves VERY hard. I truly love Rachel for what she did for Tim post-Isabel.

We get to see how loyal, loving and tender he is when he’s with someone. He always makes that person #1 Makes my heart happy to see him happy. It’s not with Lucy right now but it’s what he needs to get there. They both are so not ready for what is to come with them yet. So for now him being with her is tolerable haha Honestly more so than Ashley but I have my thoughts behind her as well but we will dig into that when we hit s4. The difference between Lucy and all the other women he dates is Lucy putting him first we see that in S5 and honestly in general before they're together.

It's why he continually gravitates back towards her. She gives him what he's been denied his entire life. Being put first. Her thinking of him before herself. She did that in this episode. Tim didn't see helping Rachel's dad the way Lucy did. Her saying they'd help out was her way of helping him out. To get Tim off on the right foot. Was her way of taking care of him. It's why their pre-couple time is so important before they dive into what we have in s5. Beautiful trust and love is built there long before they're a couple. Anyways before I ramble on anymore about them I'll stop haha That’s all she wrote for them in this one not a lot but enough to build a review out of it. Ha

Side notes-Non Chenford

Lopez and Grey’s SL was deep and emotional. Poor Angela her first day on the job someone dying in her arms. Grey having it be his partner. Going to a parole hearing to deny this man further freedom for what he did. Rough.

Nolan’s SL was amusing with Seth green and all.

Jackson catching a killer by accident with Smitty too funny.

Keep and Carry 1

Febuwhump Day 1: Helpless

Characters: Four, Twilight

Trigger warnings: Kidnapping, non-consensual drug use -----

Four is so small. And though his eyes are dark - the fall of his hair looks so much like Colin that Twilight’s heart lurches.

“Four?” he tries again. “Four, c’mon, can you hear me? Gimme a sign, bud, please?”

Four doesn’t so much as twitch. Sprawled on his side in the dingy cell, it’s hard to make him out - thank Ordona for a wolf’s night vision, or Twilight wouldn’t be able to see the slow and too-shallow movement of his chest. His eyes are no help, dull and hazy. He’s barely blinking.

There’s no blood, no bruises save the one blooming at Four’s throat where they’d tried to force him to swallow. Four had spat most of it out, fought them with everything he had, but the bandit leader just laughed.

(Don’ worry, he’d said, ‘e’s ‘ad enough. And Twilight had felt a chill because just what had they dosed him with?)

Worse, he was right. Mere minutes had passed before Four was slumping sideways, too weak to hold himself up, unable to respond to Twilight’s frantic questions. Hair falling in his face, arm caught awkwardly underneath him, he’s in no condition to fight back or escape. He’s helpless.

Twilight wants to pace. There’s an energy caught under his skin, hot and cold and itchy by turns. Sadly the cage is too small for him to even stand up in. Four might have managed, with his head ducked, if he hadn’t been drugged insensate before they shoved him in the next cage over.

…is it his imagination, or is Four’s breathing slowing down?

Twilight can’t reach far - the mesh is spaced too tight and the corded muscle of his forearm can’t squeeze all the way through. Still, he just barely manages to hook a couple of fingers into the edge of Four’s sleeve. Four doesn’t respond to the light tug. It’s not like he’d been expecting him to, but Twilight’s heart sinks.

How much time does he have?

…with how fast Four had gone under, he can’t rely on rescue. He’s gotta get them both out of here. That means looking for weak points - these cages look pretty new, but they also look like they’re supposed to hold things smaller and less crafty than Hylians.

He still hesitates to lose contact.

“I’ll be right back,” he says, in case some part of Four can still hear him.

The lock is shiny and new, and the hinges have been reinforced to prevent easily popping out the door that way. However, the original welds holding the cage together? Those are unobtrusive - and easily missed when looking for things to reinforce against escape.

Suddenly it’s a good thing the cages are too damn small, Twilight breathes. He risks another glance at Four - unmoving - before planting his shoulders against one side and his feet the opposite.

He heaves.

The muscles in his back and abdomen go tight, supporting. It’s his thighs doing the real work: slowly dragging his legs straight while the wire mesh squeaks and squeals, white-hot threads burning from his knees to his hips. There’s no sudden stop, of giving way all at once. Just the slow, stubborn work of bending steel, until the wall of the cage has peeled away from the floor far enough that he can wriggle free.

His legs ache. Even after the pressure is gone he can feel the strain all the way through his hip joints, the force needed to drag metal aside echoing through muscle and bone. He’ll be feeling the reminder for days.

Stupidly, the keys are in easy reach, once he staggers to his feet and can snatch them from their hook. There’s only a handful that will fit the cage locks so it’s a matter of seconds to get Four out.

Four feels just as small in his arms - too small, too light and fragile. His head lolls completely limp on his neck until Twilight gets an arm under it. He doesn’t so much as blink at the movement, at the contact, at Twilight carefully hauling him out of the cage so he can cradle him like something precious. His breathing is so faint Twilight can’t feel it through his tunic - he has to keep glancing down to be sure it’s still there, still making Four’s chest rise and fall with that one critical sign of life.

Four can’t move - can’t speak - can’t even blink. It has to be terrifying. Is he even aware Twilight’s here - that’s he’s not alone? Or have the drugs taken even that small comfort from him, too?

“I have you,” Twilight breathes, and prays it makes it through the haze.

I don’t know if you’ve ever watched Love Island but on the current UK season there is a sheep farmer that has fallen in love with an Australian influencer. It’s almost as if modern bruises has come to life. Farmer Will has a very popular tik tok. Every time they’re on screen I think about modern bruises, which is great but also makes me want to just constantly read bruises lol.

Okay but sheep farmer Anthony literally cannot believe he went on a dating app and met Kate. He really has to hand it to Daphne and Colin: they truly outdid themselves.

Kate who's kind of a big deal? She doesn't think she is, obviously, she's just going about her life but she's been in British Vogue. Not on the cover I was just like... I met Edward Enninful and yeah... kind of ended up there.

And he was nervous about their first interaction, nervous that she'd all of a sudden stop wanting to talk to him as they both lay awake at night.

"I um- I really like your voice." He said one day, his arm cushioning his head on his pillow. "Sorry, is that...? Is that weird to say?"

"No." Kate hummed, the sound fluttering in his chest, "I like your voice too. It's... okay it's really sexy."

"Sexy?" Anthony chuckled, "You know you're talking to Anthony right? He's a sheep farmer, wears a lot of wellingtons and chunky knit sweaters."

"Okay see, you've been out of the dating scene for a little while," Kate sighed, "And that's actually very sexy. Like you could carry me through a muddy field and take your sweater off and tug it over my head. That's sexy."

"Right." Anthony said a little bemusedly, "Well, I could... carry you through a paddock if you wanted."

"I'm going to hold you to that, you know. I'll get you shirtless holding a lamb one of these days, Framer Anthony."

"Why would I need to be shirtless holding the lamb?"

"Because you've given me your sweater and this is my sexy farmer fantasy, Anthony." Kate sighed, "Keep up."

He just liked her. The way she teased him made his ears turn red and when she sent him pictures of herself, smiling in matching pyjamas with her dog his chest felt tight.

And that first night they meet in person he could hardly breathe. Couldn't breathe all the next day either when he took her around the farm and her hair was blowing in the breeze and he couldn't help himself as they sat on one of the fences, her hand warm in his.

"You're um- Sorry, you're just really beautiful."

Her smile was even more beautiful in person and it stole something from his chest when she leaned in and kissed his cheek gently.

"You know, I thought this whole humble farmer thing might have been an act but you genuinely have no idea how fucking hot you are do you?"

"Um? I don't know how to answer that?"

Kate sighed, pushing his hair back from his eyes, "Okay well, I really like you, Anthony. I think you're really cute and I'm going to need you to stop acting like this is the end, because I'm pretty sure this is the beginning for us."

Hello! I loved your Colin x reader fic, can you do an 18+ x reader fic of Shrignold pls??

Thank you ^_^ , here’s 2 anon!

————

Dom Shrignold who tells you lies and pretends to care for his own selfishness. :( (except for the part where he says you’re his)

Human! Rough! Manipulative!Shrignold x sub reader // she/her pronouns

TW; NSFW, nothing like a good ol’ human sacrifice, manipulation, creampie.

‘Huff’ “Hah..ah…” “F-fuck..” ‘FWAP’

“Pretty girl all m-mine yeah?” Passionate thrusts against your trembling cunt followed by desperate cries and strained grunts. A burning sensation was slowly building up inside of you, getting ready to release all over his hard cock.

“Shit.. shit!” The squelching of your pussy was getting louder as his thrusts turn abusive on your cunt, rapidly trying to reach his peak. His fingers reach down between both of your molded sweaty bodies to rub at your clit, staring intensely at his red furious cock pounding at your aching pussy.

“M’gonna cum honey, fuck! Can I cum inside you baby?” ‘FWAP’ “F-fuck.. lemme cum inside you baby, wanna fill you with my cum.. make you mine forever.” ‘FWAP’ “Shit shit shit!” You let out a surprised shriek as you feel the hot liquid shoot inside of you, filling you to the brim immediately causing your own release to follow soon after. “Haa.. there y’go honey, you did so good fo’me..”

He huffs out inbetween breaths as he places kisses onto your skin, suckling softly and tenderly as if it would break you. “I love yeh, you did so good f’me, so proud of you. Now sleep baby, I’ll be here for you when you wake up..” Your eyes start to close as your mind begins to doze off, but before your brain could fully shut off you could’ve sworn you heard him say “Even if you don’t want me to be..” Though he would of course deny it when you asked him the next morning, but for now that didn’t matter. He was ecstatic, he couldn’t wait to tell the others.

20 Questions For Fic Writers

Tagged by @rngaredead :)

For simplicity's sake I'm going to go with just my biDEMONium/trentcrimminallybeautiful ao3 and not try to combine it with my thesorrowoflizards one (why do i have more than one? because i was, among other things, an idiot who didn't know how pseuds worked next question) even though that would probably double some of these numbers lkfjgh

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

Again, just on this account? 171 (some of those are oneshot compilations though)

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

661,851 for now

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Ted Lasso, The Mysterious Benedict Society, The House on the Cerulean Sea, House MD, Death by Dying, Instinct, King Falls AM. Also, sort of Gravity Falls. Mostly those first two though, tbh. This one I think I will include other fandoms I've written and posted for on other accounts because it's fun and less about math. So also Shadowhunters, The Librarians, The Mentalist, The Dresden Files (TV), Roswell New Mexico, The Sandman, Star Trek, Professor Layton, Sanders Sides, Miraculous Ladybug, and sort of The Legend of Zelda. Also see, for unposted or posted a very long time ago and no longer something I would willingly share, Supernatural, Dirk Gently (both 2016 and 2010), Doctor Who, Warehouse 13, SurrealEstate, Person of Interest, Haven, Leverage, Bones. Psych, and probably more

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Ted Lasso Kisses Trent Crimm On The Mouth (Trent/Ted - 1,157 kudos)

semaphore (Trent/Ted; Trent & Colin - 997 kudos)

off the handle (Trent/Ted - 736 kudos)

linger (Trent/Ted - 709 kudos)

a preacher, a bikini, and a kiss or two (Trent/Ted; Diamond Dogs - 673 kudos)

5. Do you respond to comments?

I try to but I always get really busy/tired and then it's been so long it feels like it would be weird if I did. Plus, sometimes my answers by nature of the comments can get repetitive and then even though I'm being sincere I feel insincere which sucks. However, if a comment has a direct question or something I actually have like, something unique to say about, I'm much more likely to respond sooner rather than later/never. I appreciate every single comment soooo much though literally my motivation to get through the day like 80 percent of the time

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I'm going to stick with Ted Lasso fics here since I have so many fics posted and this is my Ted Lasso sideblog and say... well, most of the time I have a bittersweet ending and then some sort of hopeful epilogue (such as with ink sunset and make a mess of you) but I guess betrayal's sting / absolution's balm or something to get off my chest may qualify?

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

Uhhh, honestly, most of them are happy endings. I think trick & treat and matters of the heart end on particularly high notes?

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not in this fandom! Yet

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

Oh, yeah, baby. So much. Not sure what "kind" means in this context. It sure is explicit smut. I have tended almost exclusively towards hot transgender sex the last few years because. yknow. hi. but somehow I don't think that's the intention in the question.

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

I do, but I haven't posted a lot. Only one on this account (a Gravity Falls x The Mysterious Benedict Society crossover that started as a joke because of a shared actress) although I had an interesting Shadowhunters x The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess fusion on my other account. I've written some pretty weird WIPs, though. And I've got some posts about Ted Lasso crossover/AUs, like a Sarah Jane Adventures AU, a Pushing Daisies AU, a Stardust AU... You can find that kind of thing in this tag on my blog.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yes. Not in this fandom, though, as far as I'm aware.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes! Again, not in this fandom, though.

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

Not really.

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

Oh, man, I don't know if I can decide. Magnus/Alec (TV version only I'll die on this hill) will always hold a special place in my heart, but I've got other "obsessed with this when I was a kid" ships and also recency bias/current hyperfixation means Trent/Ted screams as an immediate answer, and so on and so forth. I'm bad at picking favorites. Overall, I'd probably say one of those two, or both.

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

Sticking to Ted Lasso again (I have. so many MBS WIPs. god.) I'd say lost sight of (who you are) (lost motivation, want to finish, fuck!!) or sweeter than heaven (hotter than hell) (got mad at it), or!! oh!!! ink sunset (stuck) and possibly the next installment of matters of the heart. Yeah, I have a problem

16. What are your writing strengths?

I think I'm pretty good at being funny and also at eloquent but perhaps a little too verbose metaphors. I love me an elaborate metaphor

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

It's hard for me to focus and get what I have in my head out sometimes, even when I really want to. Whether it's being unable to organize or just my brain flat-out refusing to cooperate and do anything. Also, I'm way too like. easily discouraged with lack of feedback, and even a little negative feedback can kind of ruin my week and make me never wanna go back to that story ever again.

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

I just realized. The questions seemed familiar but I wasn't sure why and now I know, now that I've gotten to this question. I have done this game before and I remember bc of this question. I was confused bc it was under a different name, I think the questions were in a different order, and it was sometimes slightly differently worded but nope! This is the same one! Weird Anyway, just for this particular question, I'm going to copy-paste my old answer because I'm lazy. I’m extremely bad at linguistics in general, so if I must include someone talking in another language in my fic, I think I’d tend to cheat and do italics or some other indication that this is ‘in another language’ (ie “Where are you going?” she asked in Russian), but that’s admittedly a lazy approach. But I also think it’s probably better than butchering it with an auto-translator? Also, when people just include the translation in the end notes, even with a link (although that makes it marginally better) it breaks the flow of the story and makes it hard to read. Making an effort to at least match grammar is good (which I would do if it was for longer than a single scene, probably) but I think the best solution is when people know what they’re doing and like, have an actual translation with a little html code so you can click on it and it reveals what it means? Or if you’re clever, revealing what it means using context around it, but that has its own limitations. So that both like, uses the actual language and doesn’t break up the flow. It balances accessibility, flow, and respect for the other language in question well. But you’ve got to both know what you’re doing with the language (either asking someone/hiring someone/knowing the language yourself) and the html (although there are guides for that you’d have to spend time figuring it out + know it exists in the first place to look). And this is fanfiction, something we ultimately do for free in our spare time, so the lazy approach, I think, can be understandable. Maybe not in every context, but it’s not worth stressing a lot over in a few random lines or anything, you know? It is really cool when people do know a language well enough to include it properly in a fic, though, it can say a lot about a character or dynamic; and their background(s) and like. it’s neat :)

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Ever? Doctor Who. And I don't remember the order, but after that I know I wrote some stuff about Star Trek (mostly TNG but I believe also TOS), Supernatural, A:LTA, Marvel, WTNV, and the Stanley Parable? I think I first posted either Supernatural or WTNV

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

I have no idea. Some of my top ones (for Ted Lasso again) would be matters of the heart and trick & treat I suppose?

Tagging: whoever wants to do this man, I probably tagged everyone I'd normally tag last time so if you see this and you wanna do it, go ahead and tag me and do it!

[adhd-merlin]

Rarepair fave is def Merdred, those mfs had Vibes™ that were just.... Something else. Like, they needed to be locked in a room so they could either talk it out, fight it out, or fuck it out. Something. Anything. Because I really think if not for that goddamn prophecy, Merlin would like Mordred! A lot! Another sorcerer that's actually on his side, actively helping him! Tbh, I think he liked him in canon, even though he didn't want to, which just adds to the Angst of them.

Fave scenes of them are in "With All My Heart" when Mordred says he hopes he and Merlin can be friends and you can just see Merlin internally screaming at a volume to break glass, and in "The Drawing of the Dark" when Mordred asks why Merlin always thinks the worst of him, and again, you can see that moment of Merlin just being weighted by what he knows and being unable to say it.

And for a fic rec: https://archiveofourown.org/works/25627360 (it is smut, but there are also feels, and it's Mordred POV)

FINALLY! THANK YOU!

I really think if not for that goddamn prophecy, Merlin would like Mordred! A lot!

He did like him! He said it himself!

GAIUS: If Mordred wished Arthur ill, he has had ample opportunity to do so. He's a likeable boy, Merlin. MERLIN: I know. I like him myself, but I can't ignore what I saw. — From The Disir, Ep 5x05

That's what makes it tragic, they could get on, they could be friends, they actually have much in common — but Merlin can't afford to get close to Mordred because of what he knows/thinks Mordred's going to do.

Here's my thoughts about this ship:

Arguments in favour:

• ENEMIES TO LOVERS

• the delicate balance of power: Alex and Colin go on quite a bit about Mordred and Merlin's relationship in the commentary to ep 5x02. Mordred technically outranks Merlin, given he's a knight and Merlin is just a servant, but also Merlin is Emrys and, as a Druid, Mordred is aware (and likely in awe) of his role and power. And they are both the unwilling keeper of the other's secret, as they both have to hide their magic in Camelot. It makes for an interesting dynamic.

• Like I said, it's tragic that Merlin had to keep Mordred at arm's length (emotionally) because they had some common ground: they both loved Arthur — I mean they both cared about him, and they both had faith in him. Mordred believed that Arthur would bring about a golden age just as much as Merlin did! They both yearned for peace, and they both had to stain their hands with blood to survive. They both had to go through so much trauma.

KARA: You're a knight. MORDRED: That doesn't matter. KARA: Of Camelot. Why, Mordred? MORDRED: Arthur is a good man. KARA: I can't believe you'd say that. MORDRED: You don't know him. — From The Drawing of the Dark, Ep 5x11

• As with Sefa, I think Merlin could benefit from having a Druid partner.

• Merlin glaring at Mordred is pretty hot. He also gets slammed into a wall by him which, again. Pretty hot.

• They could literally mind-fuck each oth— [gunshot sound]

Fave scenes of them are in "With All My Heart" when Mordred says he hopes he and Merlin can be friends and you can just see Merlin internally screaming at a volume to break glass, and in "The Drawing of the Dark" when Mordred asks why Merlin always thinks the worst of him, and again, you can see that moment of Merlin just being weighted by what he knows and being unable to say it.

Both great scenes! I love all the scenes they have together, I think. The way Mordred always looks and sounds vaguely menacing without doing or saying anything outright evil. They way he is desperate for Merlin's approval :(

My favourite Merlin & Mordred scene has to be the one from episode 5x05 (The Disir).

MERLIN: It won't always be like this. One day we will live in freedom again. MORDRED: You really believe that? MERLIN: I do. Beat. They both look down at the grave. MORDRED: Until then, we go unmarked in death as in life. — From The Disir, Ep 5x05

It's a rare moment of bonding between them. Mordred appeals to their shared nature ("he was one of us") and, for once, Merlin puts down his defences. He offers Mordred a few words of comfort ("It won't always be like this"). And then Mordred hits him with that fucking PROFOUND line and Merlin doesn't know what to do with it.

This is not the horrible future-murderer he's made Mordred up to be in his head. This is a boy with hope in his eyes and kindness in his heart (still). It speaks so much of what they could have been if destiny hadn't got in the way. (I've also gone on about Merlin's complicated relationship with other magic folks in another post. Yes, I have many feelings about it).

I love that scene from ep 5x11, too, ("Everything I do, you think the worst") — probably my second favourite scene with these two.

It starts out with Merlin being so confrontational and aggressive, but it ends with Merlin deciding to trust Mordred, for once. Perhaps reluctantly, but he does.

It's tragic that he seems to open up to Mordred when it's too late. I've touched on before on why I think it is that it happens at this moment. Merlin has literally been in Mordred's position. In fact, some of the dialogue in this scene echoes Merlin and Gaius's confrontation in ep 2x09, when Merlin was ready to run away with Freya.

If that wasn't clear enough, we also have Mordred asking Merlin directly:

Tell me you wouldn't do the same for the woman you love.

But of course Merlin would. He has. Well, he's tried to.

But again, because of what he knows about Mordred, Merlin can't let Mordred escape, even though he gets what he's trying to do, and doesn't blame him for trying.

I also like when Mordred angrily confronts Merlin later in the same episode. His outburst shows how he is well aware of how unfairly Merlin has been treating him, and although he's been remarkably chill about it up until now, it doesn't mean he's not angry and resentful about it. He may not show his emotions much, but he's not unfeeling.

"You did it because you hate me", he says, and "This time you've gone too far!"

THIS IS A MAN WHO'S HAD ENOUGH. It's also a reminder of how much Mordred has been putting up with — for all he knows, Merlin hates him for no good reason. I think it says something about Mordred's nature that he only truly snaps when Merlin's meddling threatens the person he loves. MY STABBY CHILD IS FULL OF LOVE OKAY

I just think they have such an interesting dynamic!

I can see why they wouldn't be a super popular pairing, given Merlin's attitude to Mordred in the show and what Mordred ends up doing. And also the age gap, I guess (I personally don't find it too weird because the actors are so clearly close in age that it can be easily brushed off, but I can see why other people might find it off-putting).

Fanfics

THANK YOU for the fic rec anon, I've skim-read it and it looks very much up my alley ♡

I actually haven't gone looking for many Merlin/Mordred fics. I've a read a few ages ago, most of them just short ficlets, but I only have one bookmarked. It's the fic that put Merlin/Mordred on my radar:

Set in Stone by EachPeachPearPlum (on AO3).

It's a relatively long fic (almost 50k words), so there is space to explore Merlin and Mordred's relationship.

I actually read it before watching the show properly (I basically watched a bunch on scenes from the show and dipped my toes in fanfiction before deciding to watch all of the series).

I haven't re-read it since, and I don't even remember how it ultimately deals with the whole prophecy thing, if it even gets to that point (I think the author meant for this to be part of a series but they didn't continue, although this story is complete). But the prophecy was addressed, with what I thought was an interesting twist.

(I won't say anything too spoiler-y in case anyone wants to check it out, but Mordred is actually aware of the prophecy and he even knows an extra bit about Merlin which Merlin himself doesn't know about. It's revealed pretty early in the story, so it's not really a spoiler).

It touches on some aspects of Merlin and Mordred's relationship that I find fascinating, so I think it's worth a read if you're interested in this pair.

Random lil' excerpt:

"I am not a child, Emrys," Mordred hisses, leaning in close; Merlin suspects he's going for menacing, but all it really comes off as is petulant, which sort of proves his point. "I was the last time you tried to kill me, but not now." And then there are words in Merlin's head, words he is powerless to stop, filled with a rage that is everything and nothing all at once. Keep your reasons to yourself, Emrys, but do not try to placate me with what we both know are lies. Mordred stands then, the expression on his face one of youthful rage, burning bright and burning quickly, and Merlin wishes he was right. If Mordred wasn't so young, Merlin could kill him without hesitation, could dream about him without hating himself (or without hating himself quite so much, since the fact that Mordred is destined to destroy everything Merlin is destined to protect is at least as much of a concern as Mordred's age). This could all be over and done with, one way or another. "Get out of here, Mordred," Merlin snarls. "You live because I let you, and you live for as long as I let you. Do not tempt me."

I JUST THINK IT'S HOT WHEN HE THREATENS TO MURDER PEOPLE OKAY

I'm just going to bring this post back to your attention. There are dozens of us! (people who find mean Merlin sexy). DOZENS

As a final note — my Italian brain refuses to call this ship Merdred. There's got to be a better name for it 😭

#mermor? that sounds kind of cute. is it anything. #mordlin? so it can't be confused with mergana #anyway. the tragedy THE ANGST of falling in love with the person you're trying to bring yourself to hate #you're all sleeping on this ship #(i will ignore any mean ask about this pair btw just fyi) #i also don't think merlin entirely realised how fucking hostile towards mordred he was coming across?? #like i think in his mind he thought he was being subtle which i find fucking hilarious #asks #rarepair propaganda #merlin and mordred #mordred is a loving pacifist (he has killed people) #creepy knights' rights #ps. to all the people saying mordred is just autistic: I see you and I love you

[sea-owl]

I've seen a few Superhero AUS and one had Anthony as Batman. I can see why. Anthony is competent in certain areas, a hot mess in others, has a complicated relationship with everyone in his life and if he didn't essentially become a father at age 19, he might've adopted every orphan within a 20 mile radius.

Not sure who the others could be.

My lovely, I have a huge love of superheros, example A being my arc reactor pfp, so I love this ask.

Anthony is definitely the rich guy who bought/made his own powers for one reason or another.

And what do you mean he didn't adopt others? Of course he did they just happened to end up marrying his siblings so there was no official adoption.

I could see the other Bridgertons following his lead, and possibly Edmund's, if we wanna make this the family business. Anthony starts/finishes their training because they're gonna do it anyway to save himself from a heart attack he might as well make sure they're well trained. The other Bridgerton I guess we could count as his hoard of Robins that later become their own heroes.

Benedict I can see having an illusion sort of power to fit with his artsy self. Or maybe he has some sort of liquid manipulation that also works on paints.

Colin I can see him acquiring powers on complete accident. He went somewhere for his travels one time and then through a series of accidents he gained his powers. I'm thinking possibly the ability of some sort of charmspeak. He's able to persuade others to give him what he wants or information with his voice and the person he aims it at is unable or very hard for them to resist.

Daphne comes off as a Black Canary type. Badass martial artist that has the ability to use a sound manipulation when she screams.

Eloise is some sort of sharpshooter or archer. She makes all her own arrows, some of them being gag arrows she uses to play tricks on her siblings.

Francesca has a more developed sound manipulation than Daphne does. Her lends into a perfect pitch when it comes her hearing but Francesca can also mimic any sound, warp it, or use it as a physical force like Daphne does.

Gregory gives off speedster vibes. Maybe like a mixture between Robin and Kid Flash. He's currently training/side kick to Anthony but he also has super speed on his side.

Hyacinth I see doing spy work, kind of like a Black Widow character. She's got some enhancements so her body reactions and martial arts are better. She's also able to read body language better than any of her siblings.

The spouses could be fun ones to work with, and since I'm in a villain x hero mood let's do villain spouses.

Simon and Gareth are a pair. Both abused and thrown out by their fathers, at different times, they were taken in by Lady Danbury, who kind of comes off as like a neutral party. She basically does what she wants. Simon was doing his own villain thing when Lady Danbury sent Gareth his way and basically said, "Train your cousin or else."

Simon also kind of gives off rich man who made his own powers/weapons energy so I'm gonna go with that. We can make him a foil to Anthony. Gareth I kind of get Damian Wayne vibes when it comes to abilities, so like a trained assassin (from Lady Danbury) from a young age.

Kate kind of gives off Vixen vibes where she can adopt abilities of different animals from around the world. I can also see her speaking to different animals. I see her becoming a villain in thievery to help Mary and Edwina. They don't know she's a villain though.

Sophie's main villainy is thievery as well. After her stepmother left her homeless Sophie started to steal because well it was pretty and she wanted it. Her powers over shapeshifting certainly help when she's jewelry shopping.

Penelope gives off was once a hero but fell into villainy, possibly became a spy for the villains. I see it as a mission went wrong and she was left behind or thought she was, possibly almost died. She has psionic abilbities, think like Professor X, or Jean Grey. Mind powers like telepathy, telekinesis, mental shield, psychic energy manipulation, and astral projection.

Phillip I see becoming a villain because the morals of the good side stopped him from going towards "the necessary" steps in his research that could have saved his children's mother. He feels guilty about not being able to save his children's mother so now they have to grow up without one. Plant manipulation that was passed along to the twins. He's still a good dad but he's also a villain raising his little villains.

Weirdly enough I can see Michael becoming a villain for John. I don't know the specifics but the choices Michael made was to help/benefit John. Michael has some sort of hypnosis powers on his side.

Lucy I can see turning to villainy for revenge against her uncle who made her life hell and for the brother who left her there. I also see her with the ability of invisibility and light manipulation. When you're planning revenge it helps when people don't know you're there planning, or that you can hide your plans by manipulating the light around them.

Raven Boys- Pynch

Broken Things and Homecomings

Ronan Lynch has just returned from war; hot deserts, gunfire and bad memories. He's not sleeping or eating and the only thing keeping him functioning is his army buddy Noah.

Adam Parrish got out. He got out of Henrietta, and then he got dragged back in by his dad's funeral and his mom's illness. Now he's back at Boyds trying to figure out how his electrical engineering masters ended with him becoming a mechanic.

Delivery Boy

Ronan Lynch was crying when he opened the door. He didn't look like someone who would cry; his shaved head, sharp cheekbones and violent mouth looked more attuned to anger than tears. The attitude he had in school, when he turned up, didn't exactly scream person who cried.

Except he was crying and Adam had no idea what to do so he just said, “Eh, that'll be thirty five dollars please.”

(AKA Adam is a pizza boy and Ronan is crying and they are not friends even though Gansey wants them to be.)

Where does the good go?

Ronan has no idea why Adam broke up with him. Two years have passed and he hasn't seen Adam since, but with them both being Godparents to Gansey and Blue's new baby, it's time to face the past and maybe find the answers he's been looking for.

Talk some sense to me

Adam just found out that without being married, he'll lose half his scholarship for his MBA. He's pretty sure he can blame the next words on temporary insanity, the words saying he's engaged to his best friend and they'll get married in the next five days if it means he gets to keep his scholarship.

Now he just has to convince Ronan.

That'll probably be the easy part considering he's going to have to hide the fact he's been in love with Ronan since he was eighteen.

Hear you me

Adam met Nomad on an Aglionby forum, and they've been texting ever since. He doesn't know who he is, but when they meet at a Halloween dance, and he finds out that it's Ronan Lynch, Aglionby's star striker and resident bad boy, he runs.

Only Ronan's not ready to let go of Harvardboy, the one person who seems to understand him as an artist, not a soccer player, who seems to understand his grief and make the world more bearable, whose allowed some light back into his darkened world.

Will Adam be brave enough to face down his stepfather Colin Greenmantle, and his evil stepbrothers, Kavinsky and Tad, to be with the boy he's slowly falling in love with?

The darker the night, the brighter the stars

In which Ronan is the prince, and Adam manages to save the kingdom.

Choices

Adam Parrish is rich. Ronan Lynch is poor.

When Adam's mom commissions the mysterious artist known only as The Dreamer to create a sculpture for her husband's 50th birthday, Adam and Ronan are pushed into each others orbit and they learn that their choices are the most important thing they have.

ghost of choices made

Ronan Lynch hasn't seen Adam Parrish in ten years.

Working for Greenmantle to protect his brothers, he said goodbye to Adam a long time ago, but when Adam's parents die, and Greenmantle insists Ronan protect him from the people after Adam's inheritance, they are thrown back into each others lives and have a second chance to make the choices they wanted to make years before.

(This is a continuation of my Choices fic but it focuses on what would have happened of Ronan had made a different choice in chapter 23.)

and I feel just like I'm living someone else's life

“Oh,” he says again. “You’re mine.”

Ronan smiles, and it is a smile made for war, and a smile made for love, and a smile made for holding the things you love tight and safe. “And you’re mine.”

and when the lights go dark i wanna feel you standing next to me

The world ended when the dead started to walk.

Adam has been alone for a long time, but when he finds four strangers and a broken down camaro on the side of the road, he agrees to help them reach the mysterious Barns and apparent safety from the walking dead.

Essay

The Vacuum of Silence: What happens when queer characters aren't allowed to speak

At the end of it all, this is not just a representation problem.

This is a narrative issue.

We deserved to see Bucky and Steve have a conversation on screen because the narrative demanded it. We deserved to see Dean respond to Cas because the narrative supported it. Eventually, pandering to the lowest common denominator within the audience means bad writing, means unsatisfying conclusions to stories which have been told over years, means wasting your audience's time.

Teen Wolf - Sterek

Compulsion

Wolf watched Stiles watching him. "Who are you?"

Stiles snorted. "Yeah, okay, pull up a chair and let me tell you my life story." He pointed at the mask. "This is not just to make me look badass. Although that is a handy side effect."

He shook his head. "No, I know you. Your scent." He inhaled deeply through flared nostrils.

Stiles took a step back. "Geez, man. Ever heard of manners? It's fucking rude to scent a person without permission."

He rolled his eyes. "Fine. Why do you keep saving us?"

"Dunno what your talking about." He rolled his bat nervously between his two hands. No one was supposed to notice. Although he knew that was a pipedream, a fairytale he clung to so he could feel safe. Being invisible to HQ was all he cared about. "I am just a helpful person who happened to be passing by."

Shaking the wings of their terrible youths

Stiles didn't expect much when he stopped a stranger being attacked in an alleyway.

He didn't expect the wolf following him around New York, didn't expect the help when he was sick, didn't expect the psycho blond attacking him, or the place to stay. He didn't expect the new family.

Oh, and he definitely didn't expect werewolves.

Day 7: The Craziest Christmas’ Eve

Percy had woken up at 6am on Christmas’ Eve. Was he glad to do it? Not really. But he would do everything in his power so that his hardworking wife with just a few days off could sleep in just a few more hours.

He quickly made his coffee and prepared what he and Annabeth had to do for the day. But then he heard footsteps in the living room. He opened the door slowly as he was pretty sure it was one of his kids and he didn’t want to frighten them.

“Daddy?” Zoe turned to his direction. She was still in her pyjamas waiting for the next day to arrive.

“Good morning, my angel. What are you looking for over there?” Percy grinned slightly as Zoe had been trying to see what she had gotten for Christmas for the past week.

“Can I please open just one present? Can I, please?” She begged him.

“I am sure you can wait another twenty-four hours to open your presents. You’ll enjoy it more tomorrow morning.” He reassured her.

“Does the big red box happen to be a bike?” Zoe asked him.

“I don’t know.” Percy lifted his shoulders only to make Zoe’s puppy pleading eyes grow bigger. “Want to help me make pancakes for everyone?”

“I guess so?” She shrugged and walked in the kitchen.

“Good morning.” Annabeth said as she held Lana in one hand and her bottle in the other. She managed to give a quick kiss her daughter before she sat on the kitchen counter.

“Daddy and I are going to make pancakes for everyone.”

“That sounds great. With blueberries or chocolate chips?”

“Both.” Zoe said. “Tomorrow it’s Christmas.”

“I know. And tonight all of our friends are coming over. We’re going to have a great time.”

“Can I stay up and wait for Santa?”

“If you don’t go to sleep, Santa’s not coming.” Percy warned her.

Charlie had come downstairs along with Theo and had only listened the last bit. “Santa isn’t coming?”

“No, no, no, no. Santa is coming. I was just saying that he won’t come unless you fall asleep tonight.” He repeated to make sure he didn’t ruin his kids dreams.

“Zoe and Colin want to wait for Santa. Bianca and I told them that it isn’t going to happen.” Charlie said as he stole a blueberry from the counter.

“I am going to see Santa!”

“We’re going to see him at the mall. Right after we finish our breakfast.” Annabeth promised. “And watch a movie and drink hot cocoa. How does that sound?”

“Cool.”

Just a few hours later their house was filled with their friends and their families. Annabeth wished she was in the living room but instead she was in the bathroom with Katie and Rachel.

“This can’t be happening. I need you to pee on a stick as well.” Katie said as she saw the two lines.

“Maybe it’s just a false positive.” Rachel suggested trying to lighten the mood. She was wearing a Christmas sweater with Christmas lights and festive earrings.

“Try again.” Annabeth said as she was drinking her warm wine. “You know peeing on a stick isn’t exactly accurate.”

“I blame Rachel’s Third Eye. ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if you were drinking while pregnant.” She mimicked her friend.

“This has nothing to do with my abilities. And if you want a base line, I can do it with you.”

“I am going to step out.” Annabeth said.

“Can’t handle another surprise?”

“Honestly, no. And I have to make sure that we aren’t suspicious.” Annabeth was sure that their behaviour was very suspicious to say the least. “If you need anything, I’ll be right outside.”

“Alright, who spiked the eggnog?” Percy said as Connor and Travis were grinning.

“We needed to spice things up. Including your eggnog, Percy.” Connor smiled.

“Besides, we’re the only ones drinking eggnog.” Travis said. “And Will. The rest are too high-class to drink a peasant’s drink.”

“You are drinking eggs with bourbon. It’s disgusting.” Nico replied with Malcolm agreeing. He turned to Will’s direction who was drinking eggnog as well.

“Don’t look so condescending. I’ll drink your German Wine later.” Will promised.

“Glühwein.” Malcolm said.

“Where is Annabeth? She is part of the judging triad.” Connor asked.

“We are making social remarks, Connor. Such as don’t drink a boiled egg smoothie.” His husband said. “But really, where is Annabeth?”

“I’ll go find her.”

Percy got up and walked towards the corridor where Annabeth was standing with a candy cane and warm wine in her hands. “Hey, love. What are you doing here?”

“Long story.” She replied and walked closer to him. “I am so glad Lana is having formula milk. I couldn’t handle Christmas without wine.”

“You are losing the great debate between Eggnog and the Gluewine.”

“Glühwein.”

“Athena’s genes are running strong.”

“Always. Want some wine?”

“Maybe later.” He looked over his head. “Annabeth, look.” He showed her the mistletoe above them.

“Normally I’d say no, but I’m on my 14th candy cane, so why not?”

“You’d say no to kissing me?”

“I heard you have a crazy wife. I wouldn’t want to fight her.”

“You would fight for me?”

“Of course. You are my Seaweed Brain.” Annabeth kissed him. Until they heard someone clearing their throat.

“You’re gone for ten seconds and you’re making out with Annabeth?” Travis asked.

At the same time, the bathroom door opened. “Travis, there is a thing called discretion.” Katie said as she walked outside with Rachel behind her.

“What-“

“Minding my own business. I am going to check on the kids.” Katie raised her hands in surrender.

“Did I do something?” Travis asked Percy and Annabeth.

“I have no idea. It’s 10pm. I’ll go check Charlie and Zoe.” Percy said. “You should go enjoy your wine.”

“You’re amazing.”

Travis came back to the living room after he saw two positive pregnancy tests in the trash. He sat next to his wife and he soon realised that she wasn’t drinking any alcohol. “Do you want to tell me something?” He whispered so that nobody could hear him except from her.

“What?”

“You took two pregnancy tests?”

Katie lost all of her colour, before she warmed up again. “I was going to tell you later.”

“Tell you what?” Connor asked them from across the living room.

Travis and Katie had a silent conversation. “We’re going to have another baby.”

After everyone congratulated them and things settled down, they realised it was way past 12 am. They said their goodnights and drove home.

Charlie, Zoe and Theo wanted to sleep in the basement that they had decorated especially for Christmas. Annabeth and Percy were on board with the idea as the three of them were overly excited.

“Go to sleep so that Santa can come.” Annabeth encouraged her five-year-old daughter and son who didn’t have an intention of falling asleep.

“But I want to see Santa.”

“I promise that I’ll wake you the moment he comes.” She whispered to her daughter.

“Really?”

“Anything for you.”

“Can you wake me up as well?” Charlie asked.

“Of course. But you must fall asleep.”

“Okay, then.”

“Goodnight, my loves.” Annabeth went to the living room as Percy was finishing putting the presents under the tree.

“Mission accomplished?”

“Mission accomplished.”

[[ possible powers/unique features of the other teachers ]]

[[ so i've been sitting on this idea for a while where the rest of the teachers have abilities related to their subject in some way. antonio has time-related abilities because he is time itself, and the other teachers were given life by the machine...so i figure they wouldn't be as powerful, but still impactful

i also think it'd be interesting if the powers aren't used at will, but more tied to their psyche or something they generally can't control (but might learn to). here's some idea i have (and have come up with at the time of writing this):

sketchbook: paint thinner may leak from her hands when overwhelmed with uncontrollable rage. whatever she touches will react the same as if regular paint thinner was spilled onto it. if it gets on someone, or they're close enough, it's as damaging inhaled as normal paint thinner and just as damaging to skin

shrignold: if he feels an especially intense and paralyzing fear, his form may burst into a swarm of butterflies (colored like his puppet self) to make a fast getaway until he's far enough from the threat to feel safe. the butterflies fly faster than normal ones and are hard to catch/hurt. if they're hurt or manage to separate far from the swarm, they'll disappear. whether he escapes successfully or not, once he's back in his humanoid form, he's left exhausted as a result

colin: if ever his system crashes beyond repair, his cyborg half is forced to roll back to a previous save state when his system was functioning normally. this can erase his memory of anything that happened after the previous save. making these save states isn't automatic, so he has to do it himself (like you generally do with a windows computer)

baron: super strength to varying degrees. when he's consumed by anger, sometimes he gains the ability to withstand physical pain and most physical attacks. other times, it's more on the offensive side and he gets the ability to deal massive blows. but it's never both at the same time: it's either one, the other, or none at all. when it is one of those, the impact of it can vary (like the strength of his punches or how much pain he can take). tldr; he can become a tank like jason voorhees (temporarily & at a random range of power)

frederick: when overcome by the desire to protect, he may spontaneously create an invisible shield around those he's trying to protect. however, if his body becomes exhausted or he's badly wounded, the shield(s) can be broken easily

casey: very rarely, if she's under duress, the air around her will become toxic. it'll affect anyone or any animal who's within a 6 or 7 foot range of her. the closer the threat is, the deadlier it becomes. this doesn't affect those she trusts.

brendan: even rarer than casey's ability, his touch may become white-hot when he feels like he's in serious danger. if someone touches him, or brendan touches them, they're very likely to get 3rd degree burns if they come into contact with his skin for too long. his skin doesn't affect himself or those he trusts, nor does it have any effect on objects, clothes, etc. just organic beings.

larry: like nancy or kristen in the nightmare on elm street series, he has the ability to go into others' dreams, or pull them into his dreams. larry can't choose to do either one and it (while rare as well) happens at random. this only applies to anyone he personally knows, so he can't go into a stranger's dream

and there we have it! i personally think they're all pretty cool but idk if i'll make it canon or not ]]

When Worlds Collide (Part 7)

Description: You and Ted enjoy the early bubble of your relationship, except outside forces try to disrupt the calm.

Relationship: Ted Lasso x reader (f)

Smut: Light smut, heavy lust and making out, angst

---

Since you and Ted started officially dating, you’ve been on the hush-hush. 

No one at work knew, though you suspected  Keeley had an idea. With an away game coming up, there was a chance for some one on one time.

You boarded the bus with a smile. As you walked by Ted you caressed his shoulder and he smiled. No one noticed.

The game was a draw but that night was celebration for Colin’s birthday. After a couple of drinks and socializing, you ended up in Ted’s booth, his hand on your thigh under your dress, long, deft fingers squeezing and caressing. God, how you loved his hands. You both laughed and chatted with your friends who were none the wiser that you had you hand gently placed on Ted’s lap, palming the bulge under his khakis.

“If ya keep that up, sugar, I’m gonna need to take care of that here,” Ted leaned into your ear to say, making you blush. In fear of being caught, you laughed at something Keeley said.

You even managed a friendly dance together, turning a few heads — maybe heightening suspicious but given that you were all dancing in a group, you felt safe.

But as you approach the bar, you heard a familiar voice. “Aye, there,” Ryan says, sliding up to your side. “Haven’t seen you in a while, didn’t think I’d see you again,” he slurs. He’s clearly a little drunk. “Yeah, uh, hi…Ryan. How are you? What are you doing here?” You ask, trying to be cordial.

“I’m good, I’m good… yeah. Here on business, y’know. I’m dating around, had a couple of really hot dates,” he brags, taking a swig of beer. You nod. “Good to hear.”

“Yeah, but it still chaps my arse that you turned me down, love,” he says lowly, turning his body on the stool to you. “You’re looking good…” he says, sliding a hand over your back, which you try to shrug off. “Listen, Ryan. I know things didn’t work out, and I’m sorry, but I’m still not interested…” you start. Ryan just laughs, his other hand joining him, trying to hold your waist and bring you closer. “No, no thank you, please don’t touch me,” you tell him, trying to avoid making a scene. Ryan just looks at you, his eyes droopy and inebriated. He grabs harder, his hand trying to skate up your thighs under your dress. “No!” you yell louder, slapping his hands away. Before you can turn to leave, Ted is approaching you. 

—

Ted’s POV

Oh no, that’s not OK. This guy is all about crossing lines. “You OK over here, darlin’?” I ask, not letting my tone be mistaken as anything but concern. “Aye, there’s the bloke you left me for. Not drunk tonight, eh gaffer?” he asks me with a smirk, taking another sip of beer. “I’m just tryin’ to convince your girl what she’s missing’ out on. Isn’t that right, lovey?”

Nope, I won’t put up with that. She tries to pull away from his hands, and I grab his forearm. “Now, I wouldn’t do that, partner. Pretty sure no means no,” I grumble, my posture straighter to show him I’m not here to mess around. He shakes his arm from my grip.

“She was with me first, y’know,” Ryan slurs. “She’s just a little mixed up, is all.”

“Excuse me, I’m right here. And you weren’t first, I’ll have you know,” she retorts. Ryan just laughs, taking another swig of beer. 

“Yeah, but I woulda been better,” he adds, laughing. “Whatever, love. Like I said, your loss.” 

She turns to leave and he grabs her wrist again. “Then again, maybe you’re the mountain I want to conquer,” he chides, and I’ve had enough. Limit reached.

“Listen, fella. I really don’t think you wanna tangle tonight with a sober, protective Midwesterner, so I suggest you take a kind hike out the exit,” I remind him, my eyes on fire with rage. 

He stands and sways for a moment, taking a swing I easily duck. “Oy! You’re outta here, mate! Leave or I’m callin' the coppers,” the bartender shouts. Ryan puts his hands up in surrender, smirking at me. He’s lucky he’s too drunk, because while it’s been years, I’m not afraid to take him down.

—

Your POV

You watch Ryan stumble out the exit, and turn to Ted. “I’m so sorry, sweetheart,” you murmur, not trying to give away your relationship just yet. Ted’s eyes look at you with concern and love. “No, don’t you go apologizin’. That wasn’t your fault he’s a lousy sport,” he says, his mustache quirking up with a smile he can somehow muster. 

“You wanna get outta here? You look a little shook up,” he offers, and you nod. He texts Beard that he’s heading back to the hotel.

The temperature is just right, cool but not cold, but as you walk further away from the bar, you grab his hand in yours. “Thank you, Teddy,” you say earnestly, looking into his eyes, stopping near and alleyway. “I can’t thank you enough. Thank you for coming to my rescue, as always.”

—

Ted’s POV

Her hand in my hand felt like heaven. Being close to her all night and not able to show my affection, however, was a tough nut to crack for me.

But now I have her all to myself again.

I can’t believe we’re really doing this. I can’t believe she’s mine.  Finally. I just wanna do this right. 

But before I can let my thoughts get ahead of me, she pulls me to the alley and kisses me. 

Not just kisses me, no sir. She devours me. And I am more than happy to oblige and taste all of her. Her tongue across my lips, the scent of her perfume, her soft hair in my hands. Every kiss is like the first time with her. My whole body lights like a damn match.

I turn us slightly so I can push against her, bringing her against the brick wall, holding her thigh in my hand. If you give me a minute, I’ll either take her right here, or I’ll realize we’re in public and whisk us off to the hotel. But she’s like the first sip of whiskey: Warm and inviting and oh so good.

—

Your POV

You can’t stand having not touched him all night. You let him hold you against the wall, your leg hiked to his side, held in those big, sexy hands.

You lick his jaw, kiss his ear, suck his neck and can’t help murmuring everything you’re thinking…

“God, I want you so bad…”

“You’re so sexy, baby…”

“Touch me.”

He groans against you and you can feel his thick cock behind his pants, charging against your body while you kiss. He could take you right here, right now, and you wouldn’t think twice.

He interrupts you before you lead to an indecency charge. 

“Sweetheart…uh…let’s…let’s get back to the hotel…” he murmurs in your ear, nibbling it just so.

You take a breath and hold hands, practically running for the hotel, now only a few blocks away. You take a quick look around the lobby, trying to avoid any Richmond team or staff who may be lingering as you press the elevator button. Now standing apart, you can feel the electricity between you. 

Once in the lift, he’s got you against the wall, your hands tangled in his hair, his mustache dragging roughly along your neck. His heavy breathing in your ear makes you unravel. 

The door chimes, and not for your floor. He steps back as the elevator bounces and stops. 

“Hey coach,” Will says as he waltzes through the door. “Oh, and hey y/n!” 

Ted smoothes his hair down a bit and stands with his hands over his pants, hiding the lust throbbing underneath them.

“Forgot to give Jamie his socks back at Richmond, just dropping them off.”

The door chimes and Will steps out, you both wave goodnight and then Ted rapid-pushes the button to his floor, only two more up.

No more interruptions this time as he whisks you out of the lift and to his door.

—-

Ted’s POV

I could’ve melted into a puddle with that. Good thing we have quick reflexes! That was a close call, Leslie Stahl!

But I wish I could tell the world I’m with her. 

Her. My girl. Gosh, how I adore her. But I can’t wait to get her into my room.

She’s giggling behind me as I charge us down the hall to my doorway, getting frustrated when the key card errors. It finally  blinks green and I pull her into my room.

“Who’s next door, do we need to be worried,” she asks with a glint in her big, wide eyes.

Golly, I could get lost in them.

I don’t even answer, I just pull her to me and hold her face in my hands so I can kiss her. 

And keep kissing her.

Never stop kissing her.

As I pull away to remove my jacket she’s already unzipping her dress and, as God is my witness, I’ve never been attracted to anything in my life.

No time to waste now. I pull her to me by those gorgeous hips and kiss her again.

—-

Your POV

It’s like sharing oxygen with Ted. You can’t separate. How you’ve managed to keep your hands off each other this whole trip. It must be a super power.

His hands grasp the flesh of your hips and he moans into your open kiss. Lustful. Passionate. You could burst like a balloon at how you feel right now.

“Pretty sure we deserve an award for not touchin’ this whole trip,” he jokes, making you laugh and nod.

“I was thinking the same thing, Teddy…”

He giggles at that. 

He removes his pants and sweater and is left in boxer briefs and a tshirt, his hair mussed from your needy hands. He sits on the edge of the bed and holds your hand as he brings you in front of him, and you straddle his thighs.

“Oh, darlin’ I wish I could explain what you do to me,” he murmurs, kissing your chest and shoulder with gentle lips.

You grind against him, making him groan and grab your ass.

“Yeah? What’s that?” you ask, teasing his ear with your teeth, his hands stroking your body as you move. 

“Turn me into a puddle of hormones, like I’m fifteen again, for starters,” he chides, his breath caught in his throat. “You get me all sorts of riled up.”

And with that he pulls you both down to the bed on your sides, hiking your leg over his hip as his hands continue their journey around your body. 

—

Ted’s POV

Listening to hear is like music. Her little moans, little sounds. She’s trying to be quiet just in case, but she doesn’t realize that even quiet, she makes me insane with lust. 

My hands touch every curve of her body, and like her kisses, it’s like the first time. When I kiss her neck and whisper in her ear the things I want to do to her, well, this is a side of me I didn’t know I had.

“I wanna take you apart, sugar,” I whisper to her. “Make you come for me all night.”

She cries out my name, and I hush her with a smile, still letting my hands do the work. But I’d be lyin’ if I said I wasn’t about to make a mess in my pants from just her voice. 

“Is that what you want, darlin’? Want me to show you how bad I need you,” I whisper again, her fingertips pressing into my back, running through my hair. “Oh my God, Teddy, fuck! I want you so bad,” she cries out, louder than her little whimpers before. Just as I go to unhook her bra and show her what I’ve got, there’s a knock at the door. ---

Your POV

“Ted! Ted! Are you in there?” Beard shouts, his fist banging on the door. “I hear voices so I hope you’re in there.” 

You freeze. Ted freezes, his hand gripping your ass. You look at each other in astonishment. 

“Ted? I hope you’re there, I really could use your help,” Beard says, sounding defeated. “He needs you, babe,” you murmur, and Ted nods in agreement, shuffling his clothes, smoothing his hair while you scurry into the bathroom to put your dress and shoes back on. 

You hear Ted open the door and Beard enter.

“Oh, man. I think I really screwed things up with Jane,” Beard says, sounding anxious and panicked. Truth be told, you were never a big fan of Jane. Her on-and-off again personality with Beard always felt like she was putting him through the wringer. But tonight he’s worried, and Ted is there to help. 

“Sit down, buddy. Let’s talk this whole thing out,” Ted offers. When you flush the toilet, you hear voices stop. “Someone in your bathroom?” Beard asks?

You open the door, fully dressed, face tidied, and wave. “Hi, Beard, sorry to interrupt. I can head out…” you start. But Beard’s eyes are wide.

“Are you two…. Wait. WAIT. Are you two…together?!”
