Pairing: Chuck Taylor/Trent Baretta Quote: It wasn’t a dream, father. I really did meet her. Verse: Mafia This one is a continuation of this

Chuck Taylor was a fighter. He always had been.

Growing up in Kentucky, he had always had to fight. Chuck fought for a place at the table, both for food and for the respect of the rest of his large family. As soon as it was evident that he’d never get that respect, he had taken himself away from the norm and familiarity of his home state for the excitement of New York City. In New York, it had been a fight that introduced him to Trent Baretta. It had started with the two men arguing and fighting with each other as competing thieves before setting everything aside and fighting for each other in the trenches of war.

Once they returned home, Chuck and Trent had begun to fight the law.

It had started small, petty theft as they had done before. That had simply gotten the two in trouble with a bigger entity, a mob boss named Benjamin Slatterly, a man the streets referred to as The Bastard. They had attempted to pick his pocket and, when caught, were compelled to make a deal to save their hides. Chuck had offered his family whiskey recipe, offering to still and deliver it with Trent and new friend Jamie Cassidy, who they referred to as Orange. Slatterly had accepted that seeing as his wife Raemona ran a speakeasy of her own.

That would have been easy enough had Chuck steered clear of his main vice: his own love for the drink. The vice was small enough in the beginning, but after the war, it had only gotten worse. In the end, it was what had led to his current situation. Chuck had cost Slatterly too much money and Slatterly had laid a hit out on the man. Had it not been for the love of Slatterly’s daughter, Cherry, and her help with getting out of town, the boys knew that they would have been dead sooner rather than later.

And still, Chuck had ended up in this situation.

Chuck had trusted an old friend from the war, Bryan Danielson, enough to go out to meet the man. He was unaware of Bryan’s allegiance to Slatterly’s father, William Regal, until it was too late. He had gotten sicker and sicker over the course of their dinner, Bryan poisoning the other man over time. Bryan had finally dropped Chuck off with Trent and Orange as a warning to the trio not to get too comfortable.

But Chuck Taylor was a fighter.

With a wheezing breath, the Kentucky gentleman opened his eyes, only barely, to look around the room. His bedroom, its safety, was more well kept than he remembered. A vase of brightly colored flowers sat on his bedside table. His normally shut bedroom window was open, allowing a breeze of fresh air. But his eyes were drawn to the man who sat at the bedside, hunched over with his head in his hands.

There was no mistaking his Trent.

Chuck had always loved the fashionable man. His suits were always well pressed, his tie always the brightest colors and tied proudly around his neck. Everything seemed to hug his muscles in a way that Chuck Taylor couldn’t ignore. But now? The suit was disheveled and his tie was loose, almost as if it weren’t tied at all around his neck. Trent must have been worried and Chuck could only just hear his voice. He was praying. “Never been a man of faith, but…please don’t take him. I…I couldn’t dream of a world without him, a world where I never met him…”

“It ain’t a dream, father. Ya really did meet me,” Chuck teased, his voice hoarse from lack of use. A soft smirk took the young man’s lips as he watched Trent’s head pop up from his hands. His eyes were red, tears streaming down his cheeks bearing a scruffy beard. Trent let out a surprised gasp, jumping to his feet.

“Chuck…Ch…” Trent stammered, before practically running to the bedroom door. He tossed it open quickly, shouting down the hall, “He’s awake! Chuck’s awake!”

“Hey, hey not too loud,” Chuck chuckled, wincing in pain. His head still pounded and his chest felt tight, painfully so. “How long have I been out?”

Trent sat on the edge of the bed, his hand placed over the top of Chuck’s, “Too long, Chuckie. Don’t you ever scare me like this again, capiche?”

“Trent, you know I don’t make promises I can’t keep.”

Here’s the first chapter of a fic I started. As I have expressed, I’m a ridiculously mega fan of Taylor Swift. I think this blog is 20% a Taylor fan blog tbh lol. So I came up with this fun idea that Taylor somehow takes over Tohru’s body and life and how the guys would preceive that. So this is going to be chaotic.

I’m putting it on A03 later once I’m a few chapters in just in case I need to touch anything up since I don’t outline. But here’s the rough draft exclusively for here if you would like to check it out~

Title: (I don’t have one yet but I’ll concern myself with it later)

Rating: T

Words (ch 1): 1,811

I’m too tired to open my eyes, even though I’m awake. If I could get in five minutes before I have to get ready, that might be enough to leave me refreshed. Probably not. I haven’t gotten enough sleep since I was sixteen. But I can’t bail on the show tonight for being too tired. That was an unspoken rule.

I turn over, kind of surprised the girls haven’t awaken me. They’re usually begging for breakfast right now. “Meredith?” I murmur, stroking the duvet for any signs of fur. “Olivia?”

I finally open my eyes, seeing a pillow, sheets, a white nightstand...that isn’t mine. Puzzled, I sit up, getting a full scope of the room. What in the world? There’s so much pink in here, when my L.A bedroom is mostly white. There isn’t a cat in sight.

“Benjamin?” I try again, wondering if they teleported here with me. All there is is silence. I get up, open the curtains, and gaze upon yards of forest when I should be looking at the bustling view of Beverly Hills. Something’s wrong. Something’s been wrong since way long ago, since the moment I opened my eyes. Did the rosé from last night hit too hard and I crashed at one of my team members' places? That must be it. I’ll just go see them and apologize.

I head to the door, passing by a full length mirror on the wall on the way. I stop, taking a double take. The girl who looks at me has long brunette hair. I did not dye my hair. She looks young, teenager young. This isn’t me, but when I lift a hand to my face, the reflection follows. This isn’t possible. It’s got to be some type of dream. But as I touch my-...this girl’s face, I can feel it vividly. My mouth drops on an inaudible scream, and I scurry away from the mirror and out the door.

The breath is knocked out of me as I land on something solid. A body? No. It’s a cat. An orange cat is beneath me, but it isn’t one of my cats.

“Oh, I’m sorry,” I say. What an adorable kitty. He stares up at me, a little befuddled. I’ve never seen a cat that expressive.

“Oh my gosh,” I giggle, pick it up, and squeeze him to me. “So cute!!! Where did you come from, little guy?”

“Nani?” Something said aggressively. The cat?

No. Not possible. I look around, trying to find the source of the voice. “Who said that?”

“Tohru!” It says. It’s definitely coming from the cat. His voice rumbles against my arms as I hold him. He says something in a foreign language that I can’t understand.

At once, I drop him, letting out a scream that I should have made ever since I found myself in this body. How could things be getting even weirder?

I drop him, scooting back against the wall. “I-I’m so confused. What’s happening?”

A puff of orange smoke fills the hallway and I cough through it. As I peer within it, a body replaces where the cat just was. A naked body of a boy. Horrified, I turn my head away, left with even more questions.

He maneuvers to the room on the other side of the hallway and comes back a minute later dressed in a uniform.

Now that he’s clothed, I get a look at him. He’s tall with limbs slightly elongated to show he must still be growing, and he has gorgeous orange hair that I haven’t seen on anyone besides Ed. It’s the same color as the cat’s. He’s the cat? I can’t grasp the idea. Lord knows I’m still dreaming.

He crosses his arms, eyes narrowing, saying something that I can’t understand again.

I think that’s japanese. I know a little bit from my travels to Japan on tours but only the basics. “I don’t understand,” I reply

His brows raise. He looks more confused than I am, if that’s possible. “English?” he says.

I nod, reacting as skittish as if I was in front of a ten foot tall monster. He’s anything but. He is...wow, he’s super hot. But he has to be no older than seventeen. No. Can’t think like that. That’s gross.

“When...you speak english?”

“Um...since forever?” I respond. His english is broken, but he clearly knows a little. Still, I need to find someone fluent and ask them what’s going on, if they even know. Wait. Does this mean I’m in Japan? Or I suppose this could still be L.A. There is a very diverse amount of people here.

He kneels, taking my hand and hauling me up from the ground. I stand on wobbling legs. “Sick?” he asks.

“Huh? No. Or maybe? I don’t know where I am. I don’t know who I am.”

His brows furrow more and more with each word I sputter out. His reply is indecipherable to me again. I’m only making him more frustrated in return. His voice is so aggressive.

I hate that I’m losing patience. I want to cry because I’m so confused, terrified, and worried that I hit my head on something. I must be blacked out right now and in a coma. Or I’m hallucinating all of this. “I don’t understand!”

He sighs and holds his hands up. “Okay. Get dressed. We...figure it out…” He leaves down the stairs.

I can’t bring myself to move. So much is out of whack that I feel dizzy. Body swapping is impossible. It’s a cliche concept that you only see in sci-fi movies. Not in real life. I go back into the room and stumble to the closet. There’s a plethora of blouses and skirts with a few dresses sprinkled about. Not a pair of pants or shorts in sight. Flipping through the blouses, I can tell whoever this girl is (Tohru?) and I have a very similar taste in style. It’s kind of refreshing that I can’t find any high-end brands. I can’t remember the last time I wore something just...normal.

She has three pairs of two types of uniforms. Her school must use uniforms. Is it a school day? I take the navy blue blazer and matchin skirt off the hanger and work on taking off my pajamas, then I put it on. I double check myself in the mirror. She looks adorable. No kidding, I’ve never seen a cuter girl. I comb my fingers through my hair to fix it, then leave down the stairs, completely lost once I hit the landing. I follow the sounds of voices that I still can’t understand. There’s three of them, including the cat boy, at a kotatsu. They’re just as pleasing to look at. The one in the kimono looks to be around my age, and the one with the silver hair has an aura of sadness lingering around him that is somewhat contagious. The orange haired boy looks concerned as he watches me sit with them, before turning to the man and speaking in japanese with the same worry.

The man nods, turning his attention to me. “Good morning, Tohru-kun. How are you doing this morning?” he says in english, and immediately relief settles in me since I can finally understand someone.

“Good...I think,” I reply. Nothing is going good.

“Is that so?” he inquires. “Kyo-kun thinks you seem a little off.”

Cat boy? I turn my head towards where he’s sitting adjacent to me, slowly sipping from a bowl of soup. I’m sure I must be acting nothing like this Tohru. It’s no wonder they’re concerned.

“Why do you think I’m acting differently?” I ask, knowing full well the reason. It’s a debate whether to tell them I’m someone else. How do you tell someone you’re another person in this body? Especially since they know Tohru.

“First of all, you took.. so long getting dressed that I...had to make breakfast. You have never skipped out on making meals unless....you are sick,” Kyo says, slowly struggling through his english by taking long pauses.

I swallow down my guilt as he continues, although I wasn’t aware. “You suddenly don’t remember how to speak japanese. You freaked out like...it was the first time again when...I transformed. You are wearing the fall uniform when it is spring.”

I don’t bother touching my food, even though it looks devine. He must be a good cook. I don’t know what to say to that.

The silver haired boy says something in their language, and I draw my attention to him.

“He said you are not...wearing your ribbons,” Kyo translates.

“My ribbons? In my hair?” I ask.

Kyo nods, observing me like I’m a foreign creature.

This isn’t going to fly. I can’t pretend to be someone I’m not, at least someone I’m not on the inside. But they see right through me, especially Kyo as it seems. I freeze, twiddling my fingers under the kotatsu as I speed through ideas in my head on what to do.

I could just tell them the truth. They might not believe me. I’m still having trouble believing it myself, but it would explain why Tohru seems off. It’d probably be easier if I told the truth anyway.

But...this could be my chance to live another life. I didn’t think of that until now. When have I ever been given the opportunity to just be normal? I’ve been constantly watched for fourteen years. I can’t even remember what it’s like to live normally. But especially after all that’s happened in the past few years..I want that.

So I lie. And I loathe myself for it. “I must have forgotten them! I’m sorry. I am feeling a bit off today.”

“Are you sick?” The man asks. “Maybe it would be better if you stayed home from school.”

God, school sounds so fun. I haven’t been to school in ages. I never even got a proper graduation. “No, I’m good. I’m just not in a good headspace. I’ll get better.”

Kyo is still leering at me. He seems to be the harder one of the bunch to convince. He feels my forehead, and my cheeks heat. That’s not going to help prove my case. “No fever,” he says. “I guess you’re fine then.”

“Right!” I respond. “Should we get going? Don’t want to be late!”

Yuki stands before I finish and Kyo follows. “Let’s go. Did you...forget your bag too?”

“Oh, I did!” I didn’t. I didn’t know I needed it. I skipped up the stairs. This is still wildly confusing and bizarre...but I’m going to school. I’m going to step into a place so forbidden to me to venture out to on my own. At this point, nothing is impossible anymore.

“Implacable November weather. As much mud in the streets as if the waters had but newly retired from the face of the earth, and it would not be wonderful to meet a Megalosaurus, forty feet long or so, waddling like an elephantine lizard up Holborn Hill.”

- Charles Dickens, Bleak House, Ch. 1 (1853) The weather is pretty grey where I am and it reminded me of this quote, famous among paleo-fiction aficionados as one of the oldest references to a dinosaur in popular literature. Of course, there are no actual dinosaurs in Dickens’s Bleak House making the above just an example of some really overwrought prose. But it is interesting to take a moment and consider the context in which this was written. Bleak House was originally serialized in 20 monthly illustrated installments (like a comic book) between March 1852 and September 1853 before appearing in novel form in late 1853. That was a year before the celebrated Crystal Palace dinosaur sculptures created by pioneering paleo-artist Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins (1807–1894) were unveiled to the British public. Among the prehistoric beasts on display were the aquatic reptiles Ichthyosaurus, Mosasaurus, Plesiosaurus, the flying reptiles Pterodactylus and the dinosaurs Hylaeosaurus, Iguanodon and Megalosaurus. Dickens visited the Crystal Palace exhibit and was so taken with the dinosaurs and other extinct animals on display that he was moved to write an essay, published in 1848, titled “The Poetry of Science,” in which he waxes on about the “monsters” so great “that [they] would have crushed the noted dragons of the fables at a blow.” Later in 1882, Dickens also published a guide book for Palace exhibits in which he again waxes on about “the most extraordinary of the extinct animals, active, fierce, and swift in the pursuit of their prey“ - which is an image rather contrary to the supposedly old school notion that dinosaurs were lethargic lizardtine lumps. Also notable is Dickens’s reference to “the waters [that] had but newly retired from the face of the earth.” At first this seems but a simple reference to a recent torrential downpour, but what Dickens is actually alluding to here is nothing less than Noah’s Flood. Belief in the historical reality of the biblical Deluge was still quite common in Dickens’s time - and let’s face it, it’s still quite common today - and the pairing of this sentiment with mention of the Megalosaurus betrays the close relationship between the flood and prehistoric beasts which many Victorians assumed. Case in point, before the term “dinosaur” caught on in the late 1880s it was quite common for people to refer to such creatures as “antediluvian monsters”; antediluvian meaning “before the Deluge.” One of the greatest proponents of the historicity of Noah’s Flood was Oxford geologist William Buckland (1784–1856) who was also the discoverer of Megalosaurus. Though this may all seem very fundamentalist to some people today Buckland’s belief in a literal Flood wasn’t a product of blind faith but rather his conviction that the geological record supported such an event. In fact, Buckland actually got into trouble with his fellows at Oxford because of his insistence that as scientists they should use nature to help them understand the truth of the Bible, rather than using the Bible to try and understand nature. Buckland thought that Genesis’ account of a universal deluge was based in truth because he thought he saw evidence for it in the rocks. But like a good scientist Buckland was also open to new data that would falsify his hypothesizes and though for much of his life he adhered to the idea that Noah’s Flood was real he would eventually be dissuaded from the notion by Swiss-American geologist and paleo-ichthyologist Louis Agassiz (1807–1873) who demonstrated that Buckland’s supposed geological signs of a global flood could be explained via glaciation.

And the answer??? Guillermo del Toro's Shape Of Water is clearly the current frontrunner, as the drama walked away with 12 nominations. Bravo.

Joanna Lumley was also named the host of the industry event, as Stephen Fry recently announced that he'd be stepping down from the role.
