Tumblr media Tumblr media
first vampire/the invitation fic les gooooooo NOTE HEAVY SPOILERS, DOES FOLLOW THE MOVIE/PLOT CLOSLY...that is until it dont, i’m a sucker for happy endings~ 
(i specialize in Thomas Doherty characters x readers so if i wrote something wrong no i didn't) 
=
They said I was found by the side of a road, there were tracks all around; it had recently snowed. In the darkness and cold with the wind in the trees A girl with no name, and no memories but these
-
It was dark, cold, and wet-that’s all you could remember-the flashes of fire and lightning, the echo of screams, a hand in yours, pulling you to what seemed to be safety, and then…gone. Someone screaming a name that-seemed to be yours, their voice sobbing and desperate as they drifted away until you couldn’t hear them anymore.
“(y/n)-NO-(y/n)!!!”
You don’t know how you got separated from them, they seemed to care a lot about you, just from how they screamed for you. But you could recall your foot hitting something-metal and slippery, and you fell; hitting your head. You had a nasty scar from it to this day.
You woke up to what felt like-hundreds of years later but couldn't have been more than a few weeks realistically, you couldn’t remember anything, only your name, your age, and the feeling that you were missing something…or someone-by your side.
All you had was a ruby crystal, silver stems and thorns holding it tight to the leather cord around your neck with two small letters engraved into the gem. ‘H.D’. Along the silver vines was another engraving, in the same style as the first except it seemed to simply be an extension of the last letter.
Deville.
It was so simple; you had the initials and the last name. All you had to do was match the name to the person, but-even after years of searching, be it through books or the internet; nothing popped up. A clue that led to nothing, it left you to wonder; who was this H. Deville?
And could you find them? Could you discover your lost past?
It seemed like a long shot, since this-Deville didn’t seem to exist, not a single search engine had any answers, not even a family  tree to maybe help you find them.
Maybe this-Deville had disappeared in the same incident that had caused you to lose your memories 10 years ago, you sighed remembering the day you woke up; all alone on a roadside, freezing cold with snow covering you and the forest surrounding you.
You had wandered into the town nearby, a kind family taking you in and warming you up, giving you new clothes, and doing their best to help you. But with no memories, and no account of-who you were other than your possible name-they couldn’t. Somehow you ended up in new York, homeless and doing your best to survive.
That is-until you met Evie Jackson, your now roommate and one of your only friends, whom you had met during a catering job and hit it off pretty quickly; when she heard about how you were homeless and just looking for a place to crash until you could save up for your own place, she offered her apartment.
You had told her many times that you were grateful for her offer but-you couldn’t just-take half of her space, especially as someone she just met. But she insisted and now here you were, four years later, still living together.
With your combined paychecks, you had been able to move out of her studio apartment to a two-bedroom only a year after you met/started living together, and you were both just scraping by, doing your best to survive in a world that didn't favor you. Evie was a wonderful girl, smart and kind, with a wonderful sense of humor, and wicked ceramic skills. Your favorite thing from her was a beautifully made vase you always made sure to keep stocked with flowers, she had made it for your first birthday in the apartment. You did have to admit, you did cry.
You were just grateful that you had someone, two people in fact, that you cared about so deeply and they felt the same; you wouldn’t trade Evie or Grace for all the riches in the world. They made you feel just-so much less alone than you really were, a girl with no memories of her past other than voices and snow.
You were ripped out of your thoughts and memories as Evie walked into the apartment, sighing heavily as she kicked off her heels and gently threw her backpack onto the couch; before plopping next to you with a raspberry “long day?” you asked, knowing Evie had to work at this boring catering gig about a 10-year anniversary or whatever. She just groaned, leaning into you and hugging your arm.
You laughed gently, squishing your cheek into her head “Long day. I made pasta if you want it? Ravioli~” Evie perked up, opening one eye to get a good look at you “it’s that uh-lobster and ricotta cheese one I bought a few days ago, made some garlic rolls to go with it too”
Evie hummed, realizing the smell of garlic and lobster still waved about in the small space that was known as the living room and kitchen. “yes please” Evie muttered, huffing as you slipped out of her hold to go make her a bowl “Can you get me a Fanta too? Please?”
“Yep yep!” you called back, taking the leftover pasta out and heating it up in the microwave, sticking your hands in your hoodie pockets as Evie went to her room to change, sick of the full black outfit she had been wearing for hours on end. You took out Evie’s preferred pasta sauce and an orange Fanta, getting one for yourself as well; eyeing up the chocolate cake that was inside the fridge before closing it and finishing up Evie’s bowl, setting it on the counter with a re-toasted garlic roll on a paper towel.
“Orders up!” you yelled down the hall, laughing as Evie made a sarcastic laugh, coming back out of her room in a comfortable-looking set of overalls and her hair up. “Thank you (y/n), I really appreciate it, today was just-guh” Evie muttered, giving you a quick hug before collecting her food and drink, plopping back down on the couch to eat.
She un-paused the movie on your laptop and you sat down next to her, the two of you enjoying the near silence as you watched the cheesy vampire “horror” movie you had pulled up. By the end of it the two of you were cheesing it, sharing the small bottles of wine Evie had brought back in the little goodie bag grace had scored.
“I mean, who would be scared of that?” Evie snorted, gesturing to the goofy-looking vampire with obviously fake teeth and horribly done hairline. “man’s looks like Dracula on meth” At this you cracked up, sliding down the couch as Evie smirked in victory, finishing off her bottle before standing up to go wash her bowl “Thanks for dinner (y/n), really” you smiled at her and gave her a thumbs up, sitting up to change the movie as Evie washed up. “I’m gonna do some ‘pottery’” Evie mocked, using air quotes as you rolled your eyes “I said I was sorry, Ceramics~” you teased, having referred to her art as pottery only once and she still made fun of you about it to this day. Evie stuck her tongue out and sat down in her chair, taking a chunk of clay and slapping it down on her table.
You glanced at her as a few minutes later she made a frustrated noise and smushed down the bowl she had been making, pulling it up with the cord and throwing the clay with its ruined brethren. You looked away as she sighed, wiping her forehead. “Please tell me there's more mini-wine bottles in that bag” Evie muttered, standing up and walking over to you, holding her hand out as you grabbed the back and checked.
“Two more” you muttered, handing her the bag and looking away as she muttered thanks and took out one of the two wine bottles “You okay?” Evie shrugged, fiddling with her necklace like she always did when she was feeling alone. “You still have clay on your hands.”
Evie’s eyes widened and she yelped, looking down at her now clay-covered necklace and slamming the wine bottle onto the table, rushing to go wash her hands and necklace. You took a paper towel and cleaned the bottle before setting it back down on the table, resting your feet on the table as Evie walked back in, rubbing her face with her now clean hands.
“You wanna talk about anything?” you asked as she grabbed the wine bottle and the bag, smiling softly as she shook her head “Okay, I'm one doorway away if you need anything, okay?” Evie smiled at you, nodding as she turned to retire to her room “Goodnight Eve”
“Night Anya” you rolled her eyes at her nickname for you, but if fit; you matched the fictionalized Anastasia all too well. You just hoped your story would follow her’s in turn. Soon enough you were going to bed, passing by Evie’s room to hear her mother's voice faintly through the door. You frowned, knowing Evie was feeling just as lost as you did, she had no biological family left, simply floating by in life; just as you were.
You fiddled with the crystal hanging from your neck, thumbing the engraving on the vine “H. Deville” you whispered, sitting on your bed and leaning against the wall. “Just who are you?...who am I for that matter” you muttered to yourself, letting your hands fall and your head flop into your pillow, curling your hands to your chest to hold the necklace close.
“I’m never going to find out who I am” you whispered, feeling a tear roll down your cheek as you fell into a dream-filled sleep of grand parties and a soothing voice in your ear, strong hands holding you close.
-
A week later, you, Grace, and Evie were in the living room, Evie scrolling on her laptop to find a movie while Grace helped herself to some white wine. “Did you ever go out on a date with that bartender guy?” Grace asked, Evie made a gagging noise, sticking her tongue out as you giggled, curling the leather cord of your necklace between your fingers.
“I’m ignoring his texts” Evie muttered, looking back at her laptop screen as she switched over to her email, unable to find anything interesting to watch. Even your cheesy horror movies looked boring. Grace frowned, turning to Evie with a shocked look “why? I thought you said you liked him! Didn’t she (y/n)?”
You nodded, giving Evie a teasing smile as she glared at you for helping Grace mess with her “Yep, she said, and I quote ‘oh he’s cute’~ think I can get his number?’ with a capital c” you said almost proudly, and Evie chuckled a pillow at you, rolling her eyes as you giggled “For someone who doesn’t remember a lick of her past, she’s got our words down pact” Grace laughed, sitting next to Evie as she rolled her eyes and you blew a raspberry at Grace.
“I’m just-not-I can't handle the new York dating scene right now” Evie muttered, sipping at her coffee when her email pinged, Grace agreed with her opinion on the whole dating thing. “it is exhausting” Grace hummed, tilting her head as Evie blinked in surprise at what she found in her email. “What?”
“Yeah, what? You gasped like when you got 500 bucks off that lottery ticket” you asked, repeating Grace’s question as you moved from the love seat to sit on Evie’s other side. “I got a cousin!” Evie proclaimed, leaning back to show you and Grace the screen.
Well, there it was, right on the screen; Evie had a 2nd cousin, Oliver Alexander. “Impossible he’s white as hell” you muttered, laughing as Evie pushed at your shoulder. “What she said, that is the whitest man I’ve ever seen, and he’s British” Grace said with a small laugh, watching as Evie read what Oliver had messaged her.
“He wants to meet up” Evie muttered, licking her lips in thought as Grace choked on her wine “A stranger? On the internet?” Grace said with raised brows, as if the idea was stupid “mm-mm, you’re not doing that” Evie tried to justify it, stuttering on her words as you leaned closer to the laptop, clicking on the ‘family tree’ to see how she was related to this, Oliver.
“He’s family” Grace just gave you a look that said ‘and?’ which made you snort a bit, slapping your hand over your mouth and nose to let Evie go on without making her feel like she was being made fun of; because you both knew how important finding her family was to her.
There was a reason you got along so well, especially after her mom passed away. Evie continued, glancing back at her laptop “And-I don’t have any” Grace hummed, pursing her lips as she looked at Evie, mostly teasing but she didn’t want Evie to walk into something that was only going to get her hurt.
“Oh, so you wanna be catfished? Oh, interesting” Evie let out a small scoff at Grace's playful yet serious words, shrugging a bit as she gestured to Oliver “I mean-look, he’s wearing an ascot. What could he possibly want with my broke ass?”
“Your kidneys?” Grace joked, still kinda serious as you let yourself laugh, Evie rolled her eyes at Grace’s wild guess “That’s probably exactly what this site is, tinder for unassuming organ donors” Evie laughed, shaking her head as she clicked ‘read more’ on Oliver.
“Well, he’s British, they’re all absurdly polite” Evie muttered, pursing her lips as Grace snorted, standing up to move to the love seat. “Yeah cause they’re wracked with colonial guilt! Doesn’t mean you need to mistake that for good manners.” Evie nodded, turning to you; playing with your necklace as you stared off at nothing.
“What do you think I should do?” Evie asked quietly, and Grace leaned forward; because you would know what Evie was going through the best, both of you without families and feeling lost without a map. You hummed, glancing between Oliver and your necklace, before you smiled.
“I think you should meet him, if just to meet him and know you have family. You don’t need to get all-buddy buddy, but-you know” you shrugged, leaning into Evie and resting your cheek on her shoulder “just make sure you meet in a very public place and update us about everything. British or not dude could be dangerous” Evie snorted, patting your head as Grace pointed at you.
“Exactly, if you do go through with this, keep us updated, he’ll make a group chat even.” Evie rolled her eyes again “you keep doin’ that you’re eyes gonna get stuck” Evie stuck her tongue out at grace as she stood to make sure dinner was ready while you leaned forward to check the family tree again, seeing they were related through Evie’s great grandmother Emmaline.
“maybe I should do this, see if I have any family” you muttered and Evie shrugged, playing with her necklace as she glanced between the family tree and Oliver's message.
Finally, she took the laptop from you and clicked the ‘respond to message’ bubble, taking a deep breath before she started to type.

au Joel eating Doc out as she vents about her day at the hospital watching her slowly forget about it
👁️🫦👁️
OMG Hi Bestie!
This ask was DELICIOUS OMFG and soooo Joel coded. Just so so so so so Lavender AU!Joel coded. I love him so much and I just know he's done exactly this for Doc so many times over the years. Girl works a stressful job, she needs some release, after all.
Anyway, I hope this fits what you're looking for! Thank you so much for reading and for asking for this! Love you!!
Long Day
Joel takes care of you after a hard day at the hospital. A one shot set in the universe of the Lavender No-Outbreak AU.
Tumblr media
Pairing: Joel Miller x Lavender AU Female Reader
Warnings: SMUTTTTTT. Oral sex (F receiving), unprotected P in V sex. No use of Y/N. Minors DNI 18+ only.
Length: 2.9k
Remind me again why I wanted to be chief of pediatric surgery?
Joel wasn’t surprised to get your text when he took a minute to check his phone while on a job site. You’d been up late the night before, preparing for a presentation to the hospital board to get more funding for your department. Some kind of new equipment that you desperately wanted and gushed about at every opportunity that Joel could not understand at fuck all. The curse of falling for a woman so much smarter than him, he supposed. 
Because you’re nothing if not a high achiever, he texted back. What’s going on, Baby?
I hate the bureaucracy of this, you replied. One of my favorite kids came in today, her mom is beside herself, and am I with them? No, I’m walking some asshole through the surgical wing of the peds floor.
“Hey Miller!” One of the site managers called to him. “Got a question for you!” 
“One sec!” Joel yelled back before he texted you back again. 
Think you can make it home at a reasonable time or are they going to chain you to the desk?
Only thing that would keep me here is the inside of an OR, you wrote back. They’d better deal. 
Joel smiled a little at that. Back in your residency years, he’d have resigned himself to not seeing you on days like today. He’d take care of Evie and worry that you weren’t eating enough or pushing yourself too hard or crying in the car from stress before coming inside so you didn’t freak out him or your daughter. 
He’d caught you doing that once, the car parked on the street as he walked back from loaning a tool to a neighbor down the road. He was so excited to see you that it took him a moment to realize you were crying, your forehead against the steering wheel, your whole body shaking with it. 
He opened the door, making you jump and start trying to dry your your eyes before he could notice. 
“Hey now,” he said gently, leaning into the car with his arm propped over the door. “What’s goin’ on, Baby?” 
“Nothing,” you sniffed. “Just a really really awful day, I’ll be fine, it’s fine, I’m just not used to it yet…” 
Joel frowned. 
“Used to what?” 
“All of it,” your voice was shaky. “Just all the stress and the exhaustion and I keep getting more attached to patients than I should. I had a kid today who was in a car accident and he looked fine so I was joking with him when doing the initial exam trying to keep him calm and the next thing I know he’s crashing and we couldn’t get him back and it just really fucking sucks sometimes, Joel. I don’t know if I’m strong enough to do this…” 
“Hey,” he gently reached out and cupped your face, his thumb tracing your cheekbone. “You’re the strongest person I know. You can do this. I’m sure of it, never been more sure of anything in my life. Except maybe loving you but that’s an extremely high bar.” 
You laughed a wet little laugh and sighed. 
“Do you still want to do this?” He asked, frowning slightly. “Because you don’t have to, Baby. Don’t care that you went to med school, you don’t have to be a doctor if it doesn’t make you happy.” 
“No, I want it,” you nodded once, more to yourself than anything else. “If I’m strong enough, I want it.” 
He took you inside and sent you to go shower, picking up your scrubs off the bathroom floor and putting them in the washer. He set out your favorite swimsuit and made you a frozen margarita before moving the boom box to by the pool and putting on your favorite Beatles album. He grabbed the book from your bedside table and set it next to the margarita just as you came outside, already looking more like yourself. 
“Oh Babe, you didn’t have to do all this,” your hand went to your heart and, for a second, Joel was afraid you’d start crying again. 
“I know,” he said. “But I wanna take care of my girl. Feeling anything for dinner? I can order Chinese or pizza or make you something?” 
“Can I get Mongolian Beef?” You asked, taking a sip of the margarita. “With an obscene amount of egg rolls?”
Joel smiled a little. 
“Of course Baby,” he said. 
Joel took care of Evie so you had space to relax but you pulled her onto your lap and held her close while you ate, your nose buried in her hair while she told you everything about her day. 
When he took you to bed, he had every intention of keeping his hands to himself. But you had a different idea. You kissed his shoulder, his neck, over his jaw. 
“Baby,” he groaned. “Don’t push yourself…” 
“I’m not,” you whispered, your breath warm against his skin. “Want you, want to feel you…” 
He kissed you, gently at first, but your fingers knotted in his hair, pulling his mouth tightly to your own. Your hips ground against his, your breasts flush against his chest. He clutched onto you and moaned into your lips. 
“Make me forget it all,” you said softly. “Please, Joel. Just for a bit.” 
He moved you below him and took you slowly but firmly, like he was fucking every ounce of love he had for you, for the family you’d made together, into you until that was all that was left. There were no insane hours, no one you couldn’t save, no life or death stress. There was just you and him and how much he loved you. 
The next day, he called in sick and kept Evie home from school. The three of you snuggled in bed until you needed to go to the hospital that evening. 
“Thank you,” you said as you kissed him next to your car, the same place he’d found you crying the day before. “I couldn’t do this without you.” 
“I’m so proud of you Baby,” he held your face in his hands. “My girl the doctor.” 
After that, Joel always knew exactly what you needed after a rough day at the hospital. 
He texted Ellie to see if she could go to a friend’s place for a while after school - something she was thrilled about - and he stopped by your favorite BBQ place on the way home to pick up all your usuals. He opened a bottle of your favorite French wine and had a plate ready and waiting for you when you walked in the door. 
“Joel,” you smiled, coming over and dropping your forehead to his chest. He smiled a little and wrapped his arms around you, kissing the top of your head. “Have I told you lately that I love you?” 
“Yes,” he said. He felt you laugh against him. “But don’t mind hearin’ it again.” 
You vented a little over dinner and the two of you polished off one bottle of wine before you moved to the living room. Joel opened a second and put on your favorite movie and held you on the couch, his hand tracing the contours of your body as he held you close. 
“Ugh, you guys are gross,” Ellie said when you didn’t bother to separate from him at all when she came in the front door. 
“Love you too, Gremlin!” You called after her as she went to her room. Joel laughed. 
“Why do we keep endin’ up with teenaged girls?” He asked. “That’s the hardest age but I swear we’ve had a teenaged girl in this house for 20 fuckin’ years.” 
“Gluttons for punishment,” you said, a smile on your voice. 
“Doin’ any better?” He asked, fingers trailing through your hair against your scalp. 
You sighed. 
“A bit but…” your voice trailed off. “I’m so sick of this part of my damn job. There’s only so much board member ass I can kiss before I want to throw up. I got into this to take care of kids not deal with bureaucrats, you know?” 
“You are helping kids by dealing with the bureaucrats,” Joel kissed your temple and gave you a squeeze as the credits to the movie ended. “C’mon baby, let me take you to bed.” 
He got up and, before you had a chance to follow, he scooped you up off the couch. You let out a little shriek, your arms flinging around his neck and he laughed a little as he carried you to bed. 
“Isn’t your back getting too old for that?” You teased as he set you gently on the bed. 
“More worried about my knees,” he smiled a little. “Good thing I’m married to a doctor. Damn good one at that.” 
“Not so sure about that last part these days,” you sighed and he leaned over and kissed you, gently, your face delicately in his large hand. His fingers tangled in your hair and he lay you back in the middle of the bed until you were stretched out below him. He pulled his mouth ever so slightly from yours, making you whimper. 
“What were you sayin’ Baby?” He asked, his nose brushing your own. 
“Uh,” you closed your eyes for a second. “I… I’m not sure…” 
He kissed you softly for a moment before pulling away again. 
“Good.” 
He kissed down your body, unbuttoning your shirt as he went, until he got to your pants. He recognized them, you called them your ass kicking pants. You wore them when you wanted the extra confidence, wanted to feel like you could take control of anything. Joel just loved the way they made your ass and thighs look. He took a moment to appreciate the view, pressing a kiss just above the waist of your pants, his eyes running up your body until they met yours. 
“Tell me everything botherin’ that pretty head of yours,” he said before kissing your stomach again. Your fingers twisted in the duvet. “C’mon baby. I want to hear you.” 
“I had to show around Anders, that one board member who really sucks,” you said, voice a little breathy. Joel opened your pants and hooked his fingers around the waistband of them and your panties. You whimpered. 
“Why’s he suck again?” Joel asked, sitting up enough to start pulling your pants down. You raised your hips off the bed to help and he pulled the clothes over your hips. 
“You know why,” you were fully panting now. 
Joel did know why. That wasn’t the point. 
“Remind me.” 
He pulled your pants off completely and climbed between your legs, settling between your thighs. He pressed a kiss to your mound and you moaned at his touch. 
“He’s all about profit,” you said, voice tense and needy. “He loves plastics because it’s a money driver, always wants them to get the newest technology, everyone else always gets the…” 
You cut off with a quiet gasp as Joel pressed his tongue to your clit, licking the sensitive nub firmly. He smiled a little and kissed you there, sucking you into his mouth for a moment before licking up your seam back to your clit. 
“Fuck, Joel…” you were panting below him now. His hands went to your thighs, holding them to his head. 
“What else, Baby?” He asked, kissing your clit again. “Tell me every little thing making that beautiful brain of yours work overtime.” 
“There’s… Um…” your head dropped back onto the bed. “There’s that clinical trial that’s starting in a few weeks…” 
He slipped his tongue between your folds, the tip of him slipping into your tight hole, making you moan and your back start to arch. He pressed deeper. 
“I lost… I lost a day of work on it today and…” 
His nose brushed your clit and you turned your head to bury your mouth in the mattress as you fought to not cry out in pleasure. His tongue opened your tight little hole for him, stretching and reaching deep, parting your walls. You panted and your channel coated Joel’s tongue in more slick, the flavor of your passion smooth and musky and slightly sweet. You rocked your hips against him and he smiled against your mound, his tongue stretched so the tip of it brushed the soft place inside of you that he loved. 
“Keep goin’, Baby,” he said, pulling his mouth from you when you’d been speechless a little too long. “Tell me all of it.”
You took a moment, gasping and panting for breath. 
“I didn’t get to spend time with Kaylee and her mom, Cara, today,” you managed. “Cara gets worried and I know she trusts me…” 
Your voice broke as Joel thrust his tongue and a finger inside your tight hole, pressing deep into you and finding the places that he knew made you fall apart below him. He ate at you, his nose buried in your seam, brushing up against your swollen clit, tongue working you, finger stretching you. You let out a strangled little cry as your channel grew tight around him and he moaned against your pussy, starting to rut his hips down against the mattress. But he didn’t want to distract you, this was about you forgetting, not about him. You ground your hips against his face, unable to stop yourself anymore. 
He licked into you, nose working your clit, finger hooking into your inner wall until you came over him, Joel lapping up your wetness as it spilled onto his tongue and his lips. 
“Joel!” You gasped, your whole body arched for a moment as you throbbed around him and then collapsed back onto the bed, the aftershocks of your orgasm still pulsing against his tongue. 
He waited until your body was loose on the bed before he pulled his tongue and finger from you. He wiped his mouth on his arm and crawled up your body to where you lay, panting and pliant below him. 
“What else is botherin’ my girl? He asked softly, his fingers in your hair. 
“I… um…” you were breathless. “I don’t remember.” 
“Good,” he said softly, leaning in slowly to kiss you gently. 
He stripped off his clothes and put one of his hands against your pussy, tracing your dripping seam, while he worked his cock for a moment. He kissed you, took your hand and lined his thick cock up with your entrance and pressed into you slowly, until he was deep inside you. 
“Joel,” you breathed, your eyes searching his. 
“Baby,” he nuzzled your cheek, savoring the feeling of you below him and around him, how tight you were, how warm, how soft. “What do you need?” 
“Just you,” you said softly. 
He kissed you again and started to move inside you, slow but firm. He thrust deep inside you until the tip of him was pressing against the place inside you that made you start to tighten around him before pulling back slowly. His head caught on every ridge of muscle inside you and he savored that feeling, this part of you that felt like it belonged to him. When just his head was left in your tight, grasping sex, he thrust back in you hard, hard enough to force the air from your lungs. 
“Fuck, Joel,” your hips pressed up into him as you started to tighten around him. “Joel, please…”
“Anything else on your mind, Baby?” He panted. You whimpered and shook your head quickly. “I want to be the only thing in this pretty head, want to be the only thing inside of any part of you.” 
You arched into him, your fingers digging into the flesh of his back as your pussy got even tighter around him. 
“That’s it Baby,” he managed, his own orgasm getting closer. “C’mon, come all over me. Come all over this cock, I’m so close Baby, want you to milk me dry, c’mon Baby…” 
You buried your face in his shoulder and thrust your hips up against his as you came around him, your channel throbbing fiercely over him. He only lasted two more thrusts before he pressed himself deep and came in you, filling you with rope after rope of his spend. 
Your orgasm outlasted his own, your body pulling every last drop of come from his own and he collapsed as you went limp below him. Joel rolled onto his back and pulled you with him, so you were loosely draped over his body, his cock still deep inside you. He ran his hands slowly over your back as the two of you came down from your shared high. After a moment, you pressed a kiss to his chest and he felt you smile against his skin. 
“What?” He asked. 
“Definitely doing better now,” you said, teasing a little. He smiled. 
“Good,” he kissed the top of your head. “Gotta do whatever I can to take care of my girl the doctor.” 
You laughed a little. 
“You take such good care of me,” your fingers traced little paths over his chest. “Think I can do anything as long as I’ve got you, Joel.” 
He smiled and rested a hand on the small of your back. 
“I think so, too.”

pairing : tasm!peter parker x reader
nwh masterlist 🕸️
Tumblr media
it was the day that peter’s little girl wrapped her fingers around his one finger that he found a purpose again. as her big, brown, curious eyes stared up at her father, peter knew that he would do anything and everything to keep his two special people safe from the smallest of threat.
peter’s life was crazy and he knew what being spider-man demanded of him. he had fought crazy scientists, a nice engineer turned bad and russian guys in rhinoceros suits but now as he stood in middle of an alleyway in his battered spider-man suit, he couldn’t care about anything but you and little eve.
“evie!” he called out, confused out of his mind.
he’d had a long night. peter snuck in through the bedroom window, keeping in mind your sleeping figure and making a beeline for the bathroom. but when he turned around after closing the door, he wasn’t in his bathroom anymore.
he ran around throughout the evening, swinging from one building to another, realising this wasn’t the new york he knew. this wasn’t his new york.
this wasn’t his home.
this wasn’t... his universe.
peter panicked at the thought of never being able to see you or his daughter ever again. but that was until his spidey-sense started going off and before he knew he was in a room with two other ‘peter parker’s.
he told them about you and how the two of you met in a café he worked, when he messed up an order. he told them about his house with you and he told them about you guys’ daughter and how much he missed her, how much he wanted to get back to her.
and so he helped peter 1 in fixing all the bad guys, some of which he knew. the whole fiasco seemed endangering but peter held on to the hope that he would have a crazy tale to tell you and his little eve.
he hugged the other peters for the last time, smiling at them as peter 2 told him to take care of his family. he smiled at his newfound brothers and bid them goodbye before he found himself standing in his bathroom.
“y-y/n? evie!” he burst through the doors to your room, startling you awake.
you got off the bed, a little moonlight entering your room iluminated his spidey emblem as he rushed to you, sweaty and exhausted, and engulfed you in his arms, “oh, thank god you’re still here.” he mumbled into your hair.
“peter... are you okay?” you asked, voice muffled by his chest as he squeezed you gently, “are you hurt?”
“i’m okay, i’m okay.” he whispered as he cupped your cheeks, “where’s eve?”
“in her room.” you chuckled, confused at his demeanor. peter rushed out of the room, dragging himself across the hallway to the purple, wooden door.
you followed him as he creaked it open and walked inside until he was beside eve’s crib. he picked her sleeping form up in his arms, hugging her close to her chest carefully while his other arm went around your shoulders when you stopped beside, pulling you two close to him.
a few seconds passed by until he let go of you. you looked at him with a confused look, “peter, what is going on?”
“i have got to tell you something awesome.”

Would you rather be BFFs with Steve and have unrequited feelings for him OR be BFFs with Jensen and he has unrequited feelings for you? 😘
Bonus: How does the unrequited love discover the feels of their BFF? 🥺
This is a cruel and vicious attack!!! I think I would have to go with Jakey 🥺 I’ve spent my whole life having unrequited feelings for people, so I just can’t put myself through it again for Steve.
I think Jake is incredible at hacking and tech and safety measures, but he’s probably not as careful with his personal stuff or maybe he’s a little too trusting of his BFF 😉
(I wrote my first lil Jake one-shot, beta'd and titled by my bestie @the-sal-del-mar! And it's holiday-themed! I hope you like it!!)
Tumblr media
Hack the Halls
Jake Jensen x fem!reader
WC: ~1.7K
The holiday season was practically in full swing, and for the first time in all the years you'd known Jake Jensen, you genuinely couldn't think of a gift for him. It had to be perfect. Jake's gifts for you were always exactly what you wanted or needed, and you prided yourself in your ability to choose quality presents on par with his.
This year, though, was proving impossible. Every time you came up with something, you found out he already owned it, did it, tried it...
So it was time to use Jake's expertise against him. What he didn't know wouldn't hurt him, right? At least, that's what you told yourself.
You knew he had been texting with his sister to find out if his niece was still into Descendants before he dropped some hard-earned cash on custom-made Mal and Evie costume replicas. Maybe he happened to mention some items that were on his own wish list in that thread. He had left his laptop at your house the night prior, having to leave suddenly for a short mission, granting you the perfect opportunity to sneak a peek at his messages.
Jake had taught you some basic hacking in the past, but before you tapped into that knowledge, you thought about his tips for creating simple yet secure passwords.
-
"Jake, I can't possibly remember a sequence of 19 numbers and symbols. That's ridiculous."
He chuckled, giving you that toothy grin that made your heart beat just a little bit faster (though you would never admit it). "You don't have to, bub. You're not securing nuclear codes."
He helped himself to your bag of chips sitting on the coffee table while you chewed on your lip, brain about to explode while thinking of a password for your new online banking account.
"Okay, here's what I do when I'm putting a password on something. Think of someone or something close to you, not necessarily immediate family or a pet because those could be too obvious. Capitalize a random letter in the name. Maybe use a middle name? Add numbers that are significant to you, but again, not the first thing someone would think of when they think of you. Switch letters for symbols." He talked about this as if it were common sense. "Just make sure it all means something to you so you remember it."
He became so much more animated when talking about anything related to his work. The way he talked with his hands and raised his eyebrows was simply adorable, reminding you of when you were kids in his treehouse, discussing whatever book you were reading together. He was your first crush, but then he kissed Anna Mae Waterloo when you were 12 and you tried to let it go.
"Y/N? You still with me? I went overboard, didn't I?"
You shook your head, coming back to your senses. "Not at all. Maybe you should just come up with one for me?" He huffed at you, but his eyes were playful. "Please, bubba?"
"That's it!" He jumped up from his seat and sat next to you on the couch, the warmth radiating from his side familiar and comforting. "You call me bubba."
You looked at him, cocking your head like a confused puppy. "Okay..."
"How's this?" He took your laptop and typed: bu88A321!
"The first part is bubba, but I replaced the middle Bs with 8s. We always spend New Year's Eve together, so that's the 3, 2, 1... random exclamation point to meet the symbol requirement."
You smiled at him in wonder at the way his brain worked, tiny butterflies taking up residence in your belly at the implication that you meant that much to each other.
"You're a genius, Jake Jensen."
-
"Okay, here we go." You cracked your knuckles, albeit pathetically, and got to work, knowing you only had a few attempts before you were locked out of the system for 60 minutes.
Your first guess was his niece's name and birthday. Too obvious, you thought. Next was his sister's middle name and their old house number. "Damn it."
Tries three and four were unsuccessful, leaving you with one last chance. You remembered the advice he gave you, though, and tried your middle name, ending with the date of the day you met, your first day of first grade.
It worked.
Before you could process whether or not his password choice meant something, a text alert for a group message popped up on the screen.
-
Clay (10:02 AM) just tell her, idiot. she's not gonna shave your goatee if she doesn't feel the same way.
Aisha (10:02 AM) i wish she would. she'd be doing us all a favor.
Pooch (10:03 AM) LMAO srsly, dude, Y/N's not gonna be single forever.
Jake (10:04 AM) idk, i don't think she feels the same.
Jake (10:05 AM) what if i ruin it?
Pooch (10:05 AM) if u don't ask her out, i will
Jake (10:06 AM) 🙄
Jake (10:06 AM) fine. let's finish up here. i'll talk to her when i get home.
Cougar (10:15 AM) 👍
-
Your heart started racing. It wasn't that you didn't have feelings for Jake. You definitely did when you were kids and again when you were in high school. They never really went away, but you'd been squashing them down for so long. Could you really be with him, knowing he left you hanging for literal decades? Did you really want him, or was it just convenient? You loved him more than anything, but what if it didn't work out? What if you lost him altogether?
"Honey, home, I'm high!"
Shit. Normally, you'd burst out laughing at his cheesy, dad-joke greeting, but you needed to hide the evidence of what you'd been up to while he was out.
"Fuckfuckfuckityfuck," you hissed, trying to shut down his computer properly. As your shitty luck would have it, though, Jake walked in the room and saw what you had just seen.
"Oh, no." The smile fell from his face, and you wished you could pick it up and put it back on. He dropped his duffel bag from his shoulder, groaning as he ran a hand over his goatee. "What were you doing on my laptop, Y/N?"
You couldn't look at him, your head in your hands wishing you could disappear. "I wanted to look at your texts to see if you mentioned anything on your wish list because I was having a hard time figuring out what to get you. I didn't mean to see anything more than that. It was just... there. I'm sorry, Jake."
A tear rolled down your cheek before you could stop it, and of course Jake saw it. He rushed over, kneeling in front of you and gently placing his hands on your knees. "Hey, bub, look at me, okay?"
You shut your eyes as tight as you could stand to ward off the tears yet to fall before you looked at him, his eyes bright and hopeful, as always.
"I'm not angry. I'm impressed, really. You actually listened to me enough to guess my password." He smiled at you before taking one of your hands in his, running his thumb over your knuckles as he contemplated what to say next.
"I just wish you heard it from me instead of reading it like that. But now that you know, what do you think?"
You entwined your fingers with his and took a deep breath, considering your response.
"Jake, I'm flattered. Really, I am. But I guess I'm wondering where this is all coming from?" His head dipped a little, but he held your gaze, letting you know he was still listening to what you had to say.
"I've had a crush on you on and off since we were in the fifth grade. Maybe you didn't know the whole time, but you can't tell me you never knew. So why now?"
He exhaled, dropping his hands to his lap and rocking back onto his haunches. "I caught on after a while, but I didn't want to mess things up between us. You're my best friend, and I'd lose my mind without you." You could see him chewing the inside of his cheek as he gathered his thoughts.
"When I started feeling this way about you, I thought you would realize you deserved better than me, and it wouldn't work out. So I turned my attention to other people. I guess I hoped I'd be able to find someone else and it would make you look elsewhere, too. I'd rather keep you as a friend than not have you at all, you know?"
"Oh, I know." You laughed wistfully. "That's why I never said anything. It seems like we screwed up anyway, huh?"
He frowned, poking at the outside of your calf. "Did we? Did I?"
You sunk back into the couch, wanting nothing more than to bury yourself underneath the throw pillows.
"I don't think so. Not totally? I just- I don't know, bub."
"How about this?" He got up from the floor and plopped down next to you, like everything was just as it was half an hour ago. "I didn't buy your gift yet. You don't know what to get me. Let me take you on a date."
You smacked his bicep playfully, willing yourself not to think about how big it felt under your hand. "What's your logic, Jensen?"
"You give me permission to take you out as your gift to me. I pay for the date. Dinner and a movie, maybe? That can be my gift to you. If it doesn't feel right, we can just consider it a normal night together."
You looked over at him, unable to resist the puppy dog eyes he was giving you and had given you so many times before. "Come here, bubba."
He scooted closer to you, excitedly falling into your open arms and wrapping his own around you. "That does sound nice... Low pressure." You felt him squeeze you a bit tighter. "I feel like you're trying to hack your way into my heart."
He laughed and looked up at you, waggling his eyebrows. "Is it working?"
He gasped an ouch when you flicked his forehead with your finger. "It's not a yes, but it's not a no," you giggled.
He kissed your cheek before settling his face against your shoulder. "I can live with that."

Omg am I about to send in my first ever request to you holy shit! ok so from the prompt masterlist #11 with Evie frye it could be either the reader saying it or Evie saying it to reader whichever is fine also if the reader could be male that be great thanks bestie
22/02/2022: omg omg today's a great day! ooh you got it! I'm so excited right now omg!!! (It was so hard to choose which way round I had to flip a mental coin T_T)
[Scroll through the hashtag '1.2k follower celebration' for all writing prompts! Requests are still open!]
M!Reader x Evie Frye
#11: "Nobody will take you from me again, I promise."
You and Jacob bent over a rooftop, surveying the entrance to the sewers. The heavy presence of guards only confirmed your assumptions. "Are you ready?" you asked, pulling your cowl over your head. Jacob nodded, following suit. "How will we sneak past without getting spotted?" The other Frye twin smirked; it was an angry quirk of his lips. "Like this." Without briefing you, he shot his rope launcher, landing just above the entrance. Before you could pull him back, he had already begun to cause a commotion. A distraction. You gave the clearing a wide birth to avoid detection, jumping over the buildings on its edge, before taking cover against the wall. Crouching, you slid along the bricks, successfully flanking the fight. Before you entered, you turned to Jacob, your hesitance an offer of help. He caught your eye, disarming a Blighter and using him as a human shield. "Go!" When the Blighters turned around, you had already disappeared from view. There was a certain stench you couldn't quite place. The puddles between the cobblestone reverberated a lot louder than you would have liked, but that didn't seem to matter when you approached an entryway. Light bled through the opening, carrying voices alongside it. You backed yourself against the wall, eyes scanning for a way to get back up in the air. "You know, Miss Frye, you might be just who we need to get your brother and that boyfriend of yours." The lack of response worried you, but your heart boiled in rage. "Oh, now you get all quiet? Very well. Perhaps now I can actually put my skills to good use." Your eyes spotted a hole above the doorway, and you wasted no time in scrambling up the wall. Now able to survey the situation, your stomach plummeted at seeing Evie half-conscious on the floor. A Blighter was coming towards her, a knife in his grip. Without thinking, you leapt from your perch, hidden blade unsheathed. You collided harshly with the Blighter; a clash of tumbling bodies across the floor. Your blade landed safely in his neck.
"Not another move, assassin." You looked up from your spot on the floor to see a Blighter you did not account for, aiming a pistol directly at Evie. "Hands on your head."
You huffed, obliging reluctantly. "You'll regret this."
The Blighter scoffed. "The police will be here in a few. From there, who knows what'll happen to you lot. Shipped abroad, prison, execution... There are more than a few Templars in that system to get the information we need." He regarded Evie before cocking the gun. "Or maybe losing someone is just what you need to break your spirit."
Before you could act, a gunshot rung out. "No!"
Flinching, you only relaxed when you realised that the Blighter was the one to crumple. Snapping your head to the source, you saw Jacob in the archway, his own firearm suspended in the air, jaw set firm.
Snapping out of it, you moved to Evie's side. "Evie, darling, can you hear me?" Brushing the hair out of her eyes, you sighed in relief when she hummed softly.
"I knew you'd come," she breathed, opening her bright blue eyes.
"Nobody will take you away from me again, I promise." You kissed her forehead before taking her into your arms.
"I can probably walk, Y/n." A whisper of pained laughter escaped her lips.
"Aye, but I don't want you to." Getting to your feet, you held her tightly, as if letting go would lose her forever.
As long as you had breath in your lungs, this will never happen again.

The One (Harry Hook x female reader) pt. 1
part 2    part 3
Requested by: @that-vixx-fan​
Request: Harry Hook x reader
Warnings: none really
A/n: (Y/DL/N) = Your Descendants Last Name. It was actually requested by my bestie who wanted it to be x author but because I do not write for myself it is x female reader.
Tumblr media
You stood at the edge of the water looking at the Isle. You weren’t from there but your new friends were, it had been months since their arrival and your eyes being opened to how different their life was, definitely after going to rescue Ben. Still you were glad that Ben had decided to now bring over four new villain kids to keep the thing going.
Your mom had a different opinion on having more villain kids in Auradon, she along with Audrey and Queen Leah dislike having villains of any kind out of the Isle, but you understood why, your mom, herself had dealt with villains before the Isle came to place and so she was not accepting of them or their kids.
You also felt that you had met “the one” on the Isle, your mom had always gone on about meeting “the one” and how you would know it was them from a feeling, but she meant princes and the other boys of Auradon that just won’t “the one” to you. Your friend Jane had met Carlos, Ben met Mal, and Doug met Evie, you hoped when you had gone over to the Isle to save Ben you would meet “the one”. There were some nice looking guys on the Isle, but none had stood out like Harry Hook. The two of you barely exchanged a sentence before you had to runoff to the group and what followed after was how dangerous Uma and her crew were. So for now looking at the Isle was like wishing on a star, it gave you a little bit of hope on seeing the villainous pirate again as your short conversation circled in your head “Well, well, well. Harry Hook. And you, my little duckling are....” “(Y/N) (Y/DL/N) and I think I’m more of swan than a duckling.”
~time skip~
Finally the day came for Jane’s birthday party, you had planned everything out and reminded Carlos to bring the cake. Jane didn’t want to start until Carlos arrived but instead Audrey did with the crown and Maleficent’s scepter. As the pink fog came closer to the two of you, you both had the same thought: the enchanted lake. You both ducked your head under and waited for a moment for the sleep fog to pass.
“Well I think no birthday surprise will bet that one.” You joked and Jane looked sternly at you.
“Not the right moment (y/n).” Jane stated filling the water blaster with enchanted lake water.
“Ok, ok, well then we need to find Mal and them before Audrey puts everyone to sleep.” You said looking at everyone on the ground.
“Agreed.” She replied blasting some of the enchanted lake water on some of the sleeping kids.
“Guess it can save you from the curse but can’t actually lift it.” You said looking at the still sleeping kids.
“I’ll refill it and take it with us, you never know right?” She states refilling the water blaster.
At that time Audrey was visiting Ben in his office, Mal and the gang along with Uma, Gil, and Harry where back in Auradon to find Audrey.
“You think this because of Mal?” You asked Jane as the two of you walked, looking to find anyone else awake.
“Probably, I mean she had been raised to be queen and now that Mal will be queen it must have sent her over the edge.” She replied looking around.
“You know I’m starting to think we won’t find anyone that’s awake.” You said looking at her. “Of course once we get out of the woods it might would help.” You added.
“Well we will be safer together than separate.” Jane replied stopping, “Do you hear that?”
You paused beside her and listened, “Yea sounds like someone screaming.” You answered looking at her.

So this is longer than more of the imagines I write so it is in parts
Also I used part of the script for this which is sourced below.

HI BESTIE !!! 🫂
i was wondering how Joel would react to Doc spoiling him ROTTEN after she got that big girl money 🫦 (in the lavender au)
(because i know she will spoil him so much as a thank you for his unwavering support throughout her career 🥹)
OMG Hi Bestie!
I love this ask so so SO much. Joel is so soft with his girls and he deserves all the good things, including his wife treating him to all the best things once she's a big time surgeon.
This is just the perfect prompt for our favorite man's birthday, too! I hope this is just what you were hoping for. Love you!
Spoiled
After years of Joel taking care of you, you take care of Joel. A one shot set in the Lavender AU timeline.
Tumblr media
Yes I know it's not a Joel gif but it fits the fic so well I had to.
Pairing: Joel Miller x Female Reader (Joel and Doc from the Lavender AU)
Warnings: Fluff and smut, smut and fluff. No use of Y/N. Minors DNI 18+ only.
Length: 4.4K
It started with a shopping trip in Houston for Sarah’s wedding. 
She needed a dress for the rehearsal and her bachelorette party and the malls in Austin just weren’t cutting it. 
“I’m telling you,” she said after coming up empty handed on another Saturday spent shopping as the two of you ate salads and drank sweet tea at a patio cafe. “We need to go to Houston. We haven’t found anything for you, either.”
“I can just…” you began, but Sarah cut you off. 
“Mom,” she raised her brows. “You do not get to say ‘just’ anything about my wedding, come on.” 
You rolled your eyes a little but smiled. 
“Alright,” you put your hands up in surrender. “I’ve got the weekend off again in two weeks, I’ll get us a hotel room in Houston and we can shop til we drop.” 
“I’m going to get you comfortable with spending some of those big surgeon bucks one of these days,” she said. “You need to treat yourself! Live a little!” 
“I live plenty, thank you,” you replied. “And I do it just fine in my Goodwill jeans.” 
“Whatever you say,” she smirked a little, flagging down the server and grabbing the bill before you had a chance to fight her on it. 
Sarah might have had a point. You’d been an attending for the better part of a year now and the jump in pay had been staggering. You were making more now in a year than you had your entire life - or it felt that way, anyway. You’d already made good progress paying off your student loans but you made quick work of the rest. Joel had asked if you wanted to move - something bigger or better somehow - now that you could easily afford it but you’d just frowned at him, almost hurt. 
“This is our home,” you said. “I fell in love with you here, Sarah grew up here, we made Evie here. This is the first place I ever really felt like I belonged, I don’t want to leave.” 
Joel just smiled and kissed your forehead. 
“Then we’ll stay,” he said. “Moving’s a fuckin’ hassle anyway.” 
You’d just been saving money, not really sure what to do with it. You donated some of it, stopped spending time clipping coupons, finally bought a car that was from this decade (but still used). But actually spending it made you anxious. You’d never had money before. You weren’t poor, exactly. You’d always had enough to eat and a roof over your head but you almost never bought new clothes, had never really traveled outside of places that you could easily get to by car. You were pretty sure you’d never even been in a car that wasn’t at least 10 years old before you came to college and your friend Cassie gave you a ride to the store in her new BMW. It was hard to get used to the idea that money could be spent at all, that it wasn’t already earmarked for some bill or, if there was any left, that it had to be saved for a rainy day. 
“You gotta actually spend some of that hard earned money on yourself, Baby,” Joel said as you headed outside to meet Sarah for your weekend in Houston. “Buy some ridiculously expensive dress that I’m gonna want to rip off you in seconds or some purse that’s $1,000 for reasons I don’t understand.” 
“That’s two mortgage payments,” you said, eyes wide. 
“Baby.” 
“Right, right,” you nodded. “On a mission, spend money. Got it.” 
“On yourself,” he added. “Not Sarah. Or not just Sarah, anyway. You two have fun.” 
“You too,” you said, stretching up to kiss him goodbye. “Don’t let Evie con you into giving her candy when she gets home from school.” 
“What wild thing and I get up to when you’re not around is none of your business,” he gave you one last peck on the lips. “Now go, stop worryin’, live a little.” 
The mall in Houston was almost overwhelming. Not in the crowds way malls sometimes were for you, thank goodness, but with the kinds of stores. There were names you recognized from Cassie’s closet and from some of the trust fund girls in your med school program but you realized quickly you had no concept of what things like this actually cost. 
Sarah picked a dress for the rehearsal that was nearly $600 and you choked on the champagne the sales person had given you to sip while Sarah tried on options. 
“You really buy $600 dresses?” You gaped at her as you wandered back into the store from the dressing rooms. 
“Not all the time,” she shrugged. “But we make good money and sometimes it’s fun to buy something nice.” 
She held up a floor length gown to you, the bottom pooling on the ground. 
“That’s too long,” you said. 
“Well we’d get it tailored,” she laughed a little. “Come on, try it on.” 
Another sales person wandered over and offered to set up a fitting room and you snuck a peek at the price tag. Your eyes went wide. 
“That dress is $1200!” You whispered at Sarah as you trailed after the attendant. 
“And it’s for my wedding,” she replied. “And don’t you have that gala thing every spring for work? You can wear it for that, you need a new dress for that anyway. Plus I’m the bride and I say you have to try it on. You can’t disappoint the bride.” 
You sighed and went into the fitting room, feeling utterly out of place in your second hand Levis and vintage top you’d picked up on a shopping trip a few weeks back that felt much more your speed. 
But the dress - outside of the length - looked like it had been made for you. The silk hugged your every curve, the neckline dipping just low enough to display just enough cleavage to be sexy but not so much that it would be scandalous. It was simple, no embellishments beyond the structure of the dress and the deep emerald green of the fabric. Normally you’d have scoffed at something so basic fetching such a high price but, now that it was on your body, you understood it. It was like you’d put on a work of art and, in doing so, become art yourself. 
“OK you can’t laugh,” you said. “But I’m coming out.” 
Sarah was waiting patiently in the little show room attached to your fitting room and you had to hold up the hem of the dress to not trip but she gasped all the same. 
“Oh Mom,” her hand went to her mouth, her eyes wide. “You look incredible.” 
“Yeah?” You asked, turning in the mirrors to look at yourself from every angle. “I don’t look like I’m playing dress up?” 
“Not at all,” she spoke with almost a sense of reverence, looking you up and down. “You’re getting that dress. I’ll buy it for you if you won’t…” 
“No, Sarah,” you protested but she pulled out her phone and snapped a picture before you had a chance to really realize what she was doing. “What was that for?” 
“I’m sending this to Dad…” her voice trailed off and she took a sip of champagne just as her phone rang. She smirked and answered, putting it on speaker phone. “Speak of the devil. Hey old man, your wife is trying to tell me this dress costs too much.” 
“I don’t care if that dress costs $200,000 she’s bringing it home,” Joel said. “She hear me?” 
“Yes,” Sarah smiled, a shit eating grin if there ever was one. 
“Good,” he said. “Baby, you look so damn amazing I’m about to jump in the truck and drive over there just to see you in that thing in person sooner. Save me a trip, bring it home, alright?” 
“Alright,” you sighed. 
“Didn’t quite hear that,” Joel said. 
“I said alright you dork,” you said a little, grinning in spite of yourself. 
“That’s my girl.” 
You bought the dress. And a bag that Sarah insisted you needed for work because she was tired of seeing you haul around a canvas tote. And shoes for the dress. 
When you passed the jeweler window, you were on the way to the car after spending so much money you were surprised you hadn’t fainted. You stopped, the hanger with the garment bag for the dress hooked in your fingers over your shoulder, and looked at the watch sitting in the window. 
It was large and silver but not too ornate, no diamonds or anything like that. The face of the watch was black with elegant white roman numerals on the face. 
“What?” Sarah asked, stopping next to you. 
“Do you think your dad would like that?” You asked, head cocked a little, still looking at the timepiece through the glass. 
“Yeah,” Sarah said after a moment. “Seems like a him watch, if he were going to wear a nice watch, anyway.” 
Joel did already have a watch. A simple one with a green strap and silver colored case and a black face. You and Sarah had picked it out together for his birthday one year. She’d been giddy about it, you had to all but beg her to keep it a secret for a few days until it came time to give it to him. He loved the thing, wore it every day, even more than a decade later. 
But your career wasn’t the only one that had advanced. Joel was no longer doing the manual labor of a contractor every day. More often than not, he was going to meet with clients and arrange contracts and make plans. For a lot of those meetings, he wore a suit and, for a lot of those meetings, you saw him stick his watch in his pocket before leaving the house instead of putting it on. 
“Hard sometimes,” he said when you’d asked him about it. “Fittin’ in with these clients.” 
“Let me just…” you doubled back to the entrance to the store and went inside. 
The watch was more than you thought it would be. A lot more. So, so much more. You watched as the sale’s person’s eyes went from encouraging and hopeful to let down when you reacted to the price. 
“One second,” you smiled sheepishly and pulled out your phone, going into your banking app. Even after spending an arm and a leg on yourself that day, the number in your personal checking account seemed obscenely high. More money than you’d ever had at once until very, very recently. You could afford the watch. You looked at the sales person and smiled. 
“I’ll take it.” 
You had several very strong cocktails when out to dinner with Sarah that night to make yourself feel a little better about spending thousands of dollars on things like clothes and a watch and she just smiled. 
“See, Mom? You spent some money on yourself and the apocalypse did not happen, I think you can actually buy yourself things from time to time.” 
“And things for your dad,” you said. “Because he needs nice things, too.” 
When you got home, Joel insisted that you model the dress for him. 
“It needs to be tailored,” you tried to protest. 
“Not for me to take it off you it doesn’t,” he smiled from his spot on the couch, beer in hand. 
“Fine,” you said. “But only if you let me model everything I bought and you can’t return any of it.” 
“Deal.” 
You went to your bedroom and put on the dress and the shoes and took the watch out of the bag, the face almost comically large on your wrist, before going back to the living room, hem of the dress in hand. 
“Jesus Christ Baby,” he looked at you, his eyes wide. “You look… fuck me.” 
“That is the idea,” you winked. “You like it?” 
“Like is a fuckin’ understatement,” he said, getting up and walking around you slowly, his eyes going up and down your body. “You know, Evie’s at a friend’s for two more hours…” 
“So you’re not going to make me return anything I have on?” You asked. 
“Fuck no.” 
“Not this dress?” You started unzipping the side before sliding the straps down your arms. 
“Dress stays,” he said, gently tugging it down and exposing your chest, kissing the swell of your breasts. 
“What about the shoes?” You asked, putting a sandaled foot out from below the hem. He glanced down, eyes ranging over the straps. 
“Those stay, too,” he said, going back to kissing your chest. “Everything you’ve got on stays, already agreed to that.” 
“Good,” you said as he made it to your neck. “Even this?” 
You held up your wrist, the watch sliding down your arm. 
He frowned, looking at it. 
“Don’t look like you’re style,” he said. “But if it makes you happy, Baby, keep it.” 
“Never said it was for me, Joel,” you smiled a little. You watched him piece it together, taking a moment for him to dawn on him. 
“No,” he shook his head, looking from your arm to your face. “No, you were supposed to get stuff for yourself for a change not…” 
“I did get stuff for me,” you said. “And I got this for you. Because you’re wearing suits more now and I wanted you to have the watch for that. So really, it is for me.” 
He took your wrist gently in one hand, elbow in the other, tilting your arm this way and that to look at the watch in different lights. 
“Baby, this…” he shook his head again. “This is too much, this is…” 
“Not for you,” you cut him off. “Not after everything you’ve given me. This is not enough. But it’s a start. Besides, you said I got to keep everything I was wearing. You already agreed to it, Miller.” 
“Baby,” he sighed. 
“Joel,” you smiled a little. “You’re my husband. Let me give you something nice. Please.” 
He brought the inside of your wrist to his lips and kissed you there, making your pulse flutter against his mouth. 
“Already gave me the best thing there is,” he said. “Anything more feels like I’m stealin’ it.” 
“Steal whatever you want, Miller,” you teased. “But you’re keeping the watch.” 
Joel ended up wearing the watch often. Not as much as the Sarah watch - and he stuck with the Sarah watch for her wedding - but at least once a week for meetings where he needed to dress up for. Every time you gave him a little knowing smile and every time he rolled his eyes a little before kissing you goodbye. But you had yet to get him to accept anything like it in the years since, Joel trying to dodge everything every time you spent money on him. 
So when his birthday was around the corner, you were bound and determined to get him something good. 
“Anything you want for your birthday?” You asked as you, Joel and Ellie wandered around a street fair, meandering towards the car show. “Anything you want to do?” 
“S’not like it’s a big one,” he shrugged. “Just 56. Would love to see all my girls, of course. Could use some new tongs for the grill.” 
“Tongs?” Ellie said, brows raised. “Seriously? Old people are so WEIRD.” 
“You know what kiddo?” Joel smiled a little, faking exasperation. “We’ll see how you’re doin’ when you’re pushin’ 60.” 
“Ew,” she crinkled her nose and wandered to the first car in the row of vehicles on display. You laughed, strolling along with Joel until he stopped at a beautiful old convertible, giving a low whistle. 
“What?” You asked. 
“Just a pretty fuckin’ car,” he said, his hands in his pockets as he walked slowly around it. “Always wanted one of these when I was a kid.” 
“Yeah?” You asked, getting an idea. 
“Neighbor had one,” he nodded. “Let me ride in the back once. Coolest fuckin’ car.” 
He looked over every inch of the thing and Ellie caught up with you while he did, pouting a little as she leaned on the door of the car, her chin propped on her folded arms. 
“I’m starving,” she groaned. “Can I go get some fries at least?” 
“Sure,” you laughed a little, pulling some cash out of your pocket. “Grab me a lemonade, too?” 
You watched as she went to the food stands and you and Joel moved on, walking slowly down the row of cars when Ellie caught up with you again, passing you the lemonade. Joel stole a fry from her cup. 
“Hey!” She protested. “Go get your own!” 
“Might have to,” he said, giving her a wink. “Back in a sec.” 
You waited until he was out of earshot before you grabbed Ellie. 
“Do me a favor,” you said. “That car we were looking at? The blue one? Can you go talk to the owner and find out what make, model and year it is?” 
“I guess,” she frowned. “Why?” 
“Because,” you said. “I found something your dad wants besides tongs.” 
You went and stood in line with Joel, keeping him distracted while Ellie did recon. She took some pictures of the car and texted you all the information which you texted to Andrew as Joel drove home from the fair. 
“Can you help me find this car?” You asked him. “One that’s for sale?”
“Becoming a collector?” He texted back. 
“Joel’s birthday,” you added a smilie face emoji. 
“Excellent,” he replied. “I’ll find you something, don’t worry.” 
It took a few weeks but Andrew found the car. A blue 1967 Mustang Convertible that was being sold down in San Antonio. He went down with you to help you test drive it - you didn’t know a damn thing about cars - and you bought it on the spot. 
“He’s going to freak the fuck out,” Andrew said, driving it home since you couldn’t drive stick. “Seriously, you might give the man a heart attack…” 
You rolled your eyes but laughed all the same. 
“I really hope he loves it,” you said, running your fingers over the dash. 
“I’ll take it off your hands if he doesn’t,” Andrew smiled. “Just don’t tell Jess.” 
Tommy agreed to store the car in his garage until Joel’s party at his house in two weeks and you were giddy as you drove home, feeling like a kid at Christmas as you tried to keep the car a secret. 
By the time the party rolled around, even Ellie was excited and having a hard time holding it together. 
“It’s really just a cookout at Tommy’s,” Joel said as the three of you piled in the car to head over. “Not sure why you two are actin’ like we’re going to fuckin’ Six Flags…” 
“Tommy’s cooler than you,” Ellie said. “Nice to spend time with someone who isn’t a total dinosaur…” 
“Alright, in the car kiddo,” Joel smiled and shook his head a little. “Can’t take you anywhere ’til seatbelts are on, let’s go!” 
You texted Tommy that you were on the way and he responded with a picture of the car, shiny in his driveway with a big, red bow on the hood. 
“He’s going to lose his mind, Kid,” he texted back. “Please tell Maria I want this same treatment when I’m old.” 
“Better put in some work to deserve it, Miller,” you replied, smiling a little. 
Joel parked on the street, frowning at the car in Tommy’s driveway. 
“When the hell’d Tommy get a Mustang?” He got out, his frown deepening. You almost laughed. 
“He didn’t,” you smiled, so big it was like your face was going to crack. 
Joel looked confused for half a moment before his mouth dropped open in shock. 
“No,” he shook his head. Ellie leaned between the front seats, grinning hugely, “No, no that’s… Baby. No.” 
“Suck it up, old man,” Ellie smirked as Sarah and Brandon came out of the house, little Carson making a beeline for the car. Sarah and Brandon waved as Tommy and Maria joined them in the yard. Ellie pulled the keys out of her pocket and dangled them between you and Joel. He took them, staring at them in his hand for a second.
“Should take it before I do,” Tommy hollered and you laughed as you got out of the car and followed an almost dazed Joel toward the Mustang. 
He walked, in awe, around the car twice. 
“I…” he said but stopped, staring at the convertible for a moment. “I don’t….” 
“Do you like it?” You asked, coming up beside him and wrapping your arms around his waist. 
“Fuckin’ love it,” he said, immediately looking at you. “But Baby, this is too much, way too much, I can’t…” 
“Yes you can,” you smiled up at him. He looked down at you, the awed expression still on his face. “After everything you’ve done for me? For us? Everything you’ve sacrificed, all the ways you take care of me and our girls? The life you gave me? Still not enough, Joel. Not for you.” 
He pulled you tight to him and kissed the top of your head. 
“I love you,” he said, his voice wet. “So goddamn much, Baby.” 
Tommy set up chairs and a table in the front yard so everyone could sit near the car while celebrating Joel. He kept looking over at it in disbelief before looking at you with eyes filled with gratitude and wonder. You couldn’t remember the last time your heart felt quite so full. 
You drove Ellie home, following slowly behind Joel in the new convertible. 
“OK I know what this shit means,” Ellie said, gesturing between you and Joel after you got home, your husband clutching you to his side. “Try to keep it down and not be gross about it because ugh.” 
“Was actually going to see if you wanted to take the car for a spin,” you smiled up at Joel. “Just you and me. Assuming Ellie will behave herself and actually go to bed at a reasonable time.” 
“Anything to get away from whatever that is,” Ellie said, smiling a little as she went to her room. You laughed. 
“So,” you said, once she closed the door to her room. You looked up at Joel, smiling. “Care to take me for a ride, Mr. Miller?” 
He grinned.
“Whatever you say, Mrs. Miller.” 
He took you through town slowly, down quiet side streets filled with sleeping people and past businesses that had closed for the night, until the two of you ended up at a large park on the edge of town where things were a little darker and you could see some of the stars. 
“I can’t believe you got me a car, Baby,” he said, his hands running over the steering wheel. His smile was so big you could see it even in the dim light of the moon. “It’s really…” 
“If you say it’s too much again, Joel, I will go and buy you a second one on principle.” 
He laughed at that. 
“I was gonna say it was the best gift I’ve ever gotten,” he said, turning to look at you. “Besides you and the girls of course.” 
“Oh, of course,” you smiled. 
He leaned in and kissed you gently. 
“Not sure what I did to deserve you,” he said. “But I sure am grateful for it.” 
Your kiss shifted and you started climbing over the center console, Joel taking a second to move his seat all the way back. You bunched your skirt around your hips and settled over him, kissing him harder, more eager. 
“I’m pretty damn grateful for you,” you whispered against his mouth, his hands going to your hips. You ground down on him and he moaned, pressing his hard length up against you through his jeans. “And I think the birthday boy should get laid in his dream car.” 
“Dream car,” he said, kissing you. “Dream woman.” He kissed you again. “Perfect fuckin’ birthday.” 
You unzipped his fly as you kissed him and tucked your panties to the side, notching his cock against your entrance. He moaned as you sank slowly down onto him, taking all of him inside of you, savoring how he filled you. 
You started slowly, just grinding him deeper into you as you kissed him, his tongue licking into your mouth. 
“You feel fuckin’ amazing Baby,” he moaned, kissing down your throat until he reached your breasts, cleavage bared in your v-neck top. “Always feel so damn good…” 
He was thrusting up into you, trying to set his own pace, and you decided to allow that, matching him stroke for stroke as he groaned below you. His hands ranged up your back, pawing at your shirt until be was able to raise it enough to slide below it and get at your skin with a satisfied moan. He clutched you close, so close that you could hardly move over him anymore. Instead, he fucked up into you, making you whimper and your channel tighten around him. 
“C’mon Baby,” he grunted, voice strained. “Want you to come for me. All I want now is you to come for me, come all over me, fuck Baby…” 
You bit down on his shoulder to keep quiet, the sounds of crickets and cicadas on the air as you came, your sex throbbed around him. You whimpered against him as you came down from your high and he kept working you, his grip on you tightening. 
“Fuck Baby,” he gasped. “Feel too good, I’m gonna… fuck… I’m…” 
He cut himself off with a groan, thrusting deep and filling you, his grip on you relaxing enough that you could sit up a little. You looked at him in the moonlight his eyes closed, a blissed out look on his face. You smiled a little, brushing his more unruly curls back from his forehead. 
“I love you so much, Baby,” he smiled a little, eyes still closed. 
“So I did alright for your birthday?” You teased lightly, his softening cock still buried inside you. 
He laughed. 
“Did perfect,” he tugged you close enough that he could kiss you again, careful to not push you back against the horn. “Perfect fuckin’ birthday, perfect fuckin’ woman, perfect fuckin’ wife.” 
“Good,” you smiled, kissing him. “You deserve it, Joel. You deserve the world.”
