Note

After reading the scenario where Nash accompanies his s/o to visit her mother's grave (It was wonderful btw😢.) What about one where Nash meets his s/o's mother.

He wears a suit, nothing too fancy though, and he leaves the tie slightly loose and crooked on his chest, just to feel a little less like a posh brat and feel a little more like himself. Though, of course he brings flowers. A bouquet of pink and darker pink flowers: “perfect happiness” and “thankfulness”. Red roses would have been a little too promiscuous for the first time he meets your family, and, besides, he’s not sure whether the passion they depict fits his feelings towards you yet. But, that said, he is visiting your mother today. That counts for something.

(Really, there’s no need for Nash to care so much about what the flowers say - there’s no reason for him to know so much either, except for the fact he took a mild interest in them as a youth, and somehow he still remembers most of the meanings. And floriography fits most of the persona he tries to maintain, that of the charming, suave young man, so why not spend a little longer picking what flowers to buy at the shop on the way to your house?)

Your mother seems pleased with the roses, so there’s that. She greets him with a smile, does the whole hands thrown out to the side, with that faux shocked expression - “what lovely flowers! You shouldn’t have!” - and he says something about how they’re not nearly as beautiful as her, and then you nudge him, maybe because you think he’s overstepping the lines, or maybe you’re just jealous, so Nash grins at you, just to emphasise that you’re still the main reason that he’s come today.

Conversation is boring; as much as he does playing the part of the prince, it’s exhausting, and he can feel his personality draining into his fingertips, like an itch he can’t quite get rid off. Oh well. Your mother seems pleasant, he’ll give her that, but he’s also an acquired taste when he’s as he is usually - he himself acknowledges that - so he keeps his spirit constrained, for once.

“I play basketball,” Nash smiles at your mother as he compliments his good health, but, all the while he’s thinking of how he’ll desperately need to go out to the street courts tomorrow, or else he’ll be in a shitty mood the day after.

You squeeze his hand under the table. He turns his smile to you instead; your mother says something, leaves the table to get the next course.

Nash whispers in your ear, “so? Are you proud of me being on my best behaviour?”

“I’ll admit, you’ve had your worst days,” you murmur back, lips just by his cheek, as he dips his head to press a kiss against your jawline.

Your mother returns. The boring conversation begins again, except this time you talk a little more, so Nash can focus on actually eating, and not just keeping up appearances.

By the end of the meal, he’s finished off everything that was on his plate, so he can finally tell your mother what a brilliant cook she is, how much he enjoyed the meal, how grateful he is too, and how thankful he is for being permitted to visit. The usual. She replies with something about how nice it was meeting him. The usual too.

Except you do tell him, when it’s just the two of you in the doorway, against a bleak sky with the moon just a smudge of white, that your mother seemed to like him more than she has liked others.

With a teasing tone, Nash replies, “oh, so there’s been others?”.

That conversation goes on for a little longer too, until he finally gets to depart. The minute the door shuts, he pulls off the tie, unbuttons the top two holes of his shirt, and gives his head a good shake, to get his hair out of the formal style he had forced it into.

Thank god that’s over, Nash thinks.

But, despite the grumbling thoughts that plague him on his walk to the station, Nash can’t deny that he feels a little more at ease now. In a faint way, it’s almost fun - this meeting parents thing.

Major Updates to My Weird Idea (that includes my Nightside OCs)

Go check my previous post on this - HERE

This is mainly an update for @schizoauthoress , @the--blackdahlia , @spacelizardtrashboys , @enigmaticandunstable and @piratewithvigor and I personally think @nattinngrst might like this.

I went on a trip to the beach yesterday with my parents and my older brother (who I bored and annoyed with this idea and you'll see some of his influence in this here post)

Anything written in italics is meant to be taken as a joke as you read through this wall of text, sending good vibes as always, hope y'all are doing well.

The show is set in Canadian, Texas (real place: Wikipedia). I'm thinking of this show starting in the mid-to-late 90s (1996/1997).

I've managed to do several things with that weird sitcom idea, so, where to start, how about with the three potential titles:

1 - Neighbourhood Watch

2 - First Call

3 - First Round (Which my brother likes)

Here are some options for bar names, starting with the Cop bar:

1 - The Donut Hole

2 - The Roasted Hog (which my big bro suggested)

3 - The Sherriff's Outpost

And the Biker Bar:

1 - The Handlebar Inn

2 - The Steel Horse Saloon

3 - The Rebel Room

Next on the list of updates: Cast additions, character roles and (Finally after 2 days) Names for Everyone!!

I'll start with the Cop Bar's owner & staff:

Rosalina Asturias 'Rosa' (Played by Billie Martinez) an employee of the local cop bar. Didn't grow up in the town, moved here for work.

Violet Croft (Played by Eli Herne) an employee. Grew up in town, never left, has the hots for one of the guys in the local police.

Sunshine Crawford 'Sunny' (Played by Holly Di Antonio) an employee. Grew up in town, left for college and came back.

Roscoe Power 'Ross' (Played by Jimmy Hart) the loudmouth who owns the bar, grew up in town, used to be a car salesman.

Olesya Pavlovsky 'Olivia' (Played by Penelope Voronin) an employee who grew up in town and has immigrant parents, goes by 'Olivia' because she would rather you don't f*** up her actual name.

Winona Vance (Played by Sam Griffin Silver) an employee who moved here from New York, for unknown reasons, and doesn't really understand the small town, everyone knows everyone lifestyle.

Lavender Whittemore (Played by Victoria Lucifarian) an employee who grew up in England but moved to live in America, settled in Canadian, Texas due to her love of westerns.

Sergeant Valentine Gautier 'Val' (Played by Bret Hart) recently promoted before the series begins but still on patrol duty, watches over his younger brother.

Corporal Buck Morris 'Buckshot' (Played by Davey Boy Smith) the gun loving corporal of the squad and the only one to have both 'work' and 'home' guns.

Ozzy Rains (Played by Charles Wright) A biker and member of the staff who grew up just outside of town but loves his fellow staff members like family.

Brock Martel (Played by Henry Godwin) a biker and member of the staff who grew up on a local ranch and loves beer, football and the current Mayor's down-to-Earth style.

Vincent Gore 'Vinnie' (Played by Kane) the owner's son and a known fire loving 'freak' often protected by his surrogate family, the bar staff, Vinnie knows no better than 'ooh, cool looking fire' and must be restrained or have his hands swatted away to stop him burning himself trying to touch campfires.

Sequoia Reed (Played by Rikishi) an employee and Frankie's (Yokozuna) cousin, also a surrogate cousin to Raven, having been best friends since childhood. Reed loves his job and his staff family and will defend both at any cost.

Lupe Zapatero (Played by Savio Vega) an employee at the bar and possibly the shortest member of staff, towered over by the tallest staff members but is not any less of a fighter because of his size, a former mechanic who loves nothing more than taking things apart and putting them back together while listening to metal / rock.

Murphy Graves (Played By The Undertaker) Manager of the biker bar and an excellent member of staff, has an outlaw rules vibe, as in he would say to the police "Your jurisdiction ends when you walk in my bar." Very protective of the staff, and the owner.

Frankie Wolf (Played by Yokozuna) the most relaxed and laid-back of the staff, Frankie would prefer to be in the kitchen making potential 'Culinary Masterpieces' as he would call them. Sequoia and Raven's (surrogate) cousin, views his staff mates as family.

Lex Aston (Played by The Rock) a local struggling actor, teaching an acting class to pay the bills and an absolute ladies man, and for that reason he goes to the cop bar, to try and pick up one of the bartenders who works there, often favouring Rosa as she will jokingly flirt back.

Finally (for this section): The Degenerates and Their Benefactors:

Reign Yates (Played by Billy Gunn) Leon's (Road Dogg) best friend, often the getaway driver for the group and a scout for locations, often getting all the info on a place before telling Matty (H.H.H) and Dell (HBK). Often leaves town with Leon to get the heat off them. (and make out in secret)

Zelda Hooper (Played by Chyna) the only female degenerate but possibly the toughest, has a rap sheet as big as her arms, not to be trusted when around the other degenerates as she is usually the actual brains of the operation.

Matty Battle (Played by Hunter Hearst Helmsley) the co-leader of the degenerates, often protected by Zelda or Mark (Kevin Nash). does most of the talking but has the piss taken of him for his looks often by either other degenerates or locals who don't care for the degenerates.

Romeo Colombera (Played by Mike Rotundo/I.R.S) the right hand man of the mysterious benefactor, and often the lawyer for the degenerates as well as a taskmaster for them, telling them what the boss wants done and by what date.

Mark Rake (Played by Kevin Nash/Diesel) the tallest degenerate with a rap sheet as long as his leg, a former bouncer at a now closed nightclub, alongside best friend (and possibly boyfriend) Galo (Scott Hall) and now a bodyguard (when needed) for Matty and Dell (HBK, also boyfriends).

Leon Rose (Played by Road Dogg) best friend of Reign and a scout for the group alongside him. Has found every possible way to piss off other townsfolk and often in the most fights because of it, always on the police's radar for one thing or another and constantly leaving town because of it.

Galo Villalobos (Played by Scott Hall/Razor Ramon) the only (supposedly) Latino degenerate, raised in Canadian, Texas but his parents are from Cuba, Galo is a former nightclub bouncer (alongside Mark) Galo is known (for his ability to give minus fucks) as the most relaxed member of the group.

Dell Pain (Played by Shawn Michaels/HBK) the co-leader alongside Matty, a known flirt with people regardless of gender or sexuality, just to piss them off on some occasions. Dell grew up in town, knowing it like the back of his hand.

Giles Rennell (Played by Ted DiBiase) the mysterious benefactor of the group, bailing them out if needed, he stumbled across the group after seeing a police bulletin and decided to use them to cause enough chaos to guarantee a chance in the next mayoral election.

Zac Noel (Played by X-Pac) the shortest and youngest degenerate, Zac is often treated as the child of the group, being taught how to get away with crimes and trick the police into just letting him go by clerical error and tomfoolery.

Next on my list of updates: Season 1's episode list, episode titles, episode synopses, some spoilers, and the revolving door idea a bit further explained.

Series running order:

Biker bar episode

Cops on Patrol episode

Band/College Students episode

Cop bar episode (yes these are different)

After leaving for the night, the team finds the bar broken into and both machines missing with no evidence or possible suspects to the robbery. The team finds the machines relatively undamaged in an alleyway nearby. By the end of the episode there's still no suspects. B plot includes an argument between father and son, Harlow and Vincent which ends when Murphy gets involved.

1x02: Hot Pursuit: Newly instated chief of police Chief Cooper [Neidhart] makes changes to the patrol teams before tasking them with looking for any persons involved with (1x01)'s robbery and break-in, leading to a high speed chase later in the episode.

The group get a glimpse of Zac Noel [X-Pac] and Mark Rake [Nash] but not a full glimpse. Now aware of the local degenerates, the band try and forget about it and focus on their own lives until their apartment gets broken into when they're not there.

1x04: Donuts & Beer: The new cop bar opens on the other side of town, serving mainly (both savoury and sweet) bagels and donuts as well as beer (on tap and bottled), the fact it's slightly more risqué gets (both good and bad) attention on the place.

Winona [Sam] being put in the hospital with a broken arm makes the rest of [Cop Bar]'s staff double down on getting justice for the near break-in.

1x05: Dirty Work: The first episode from the degenerates perspective.

1x08: Broken Strings: following an argument with an ex girlfriend Quinn Thorn [Jeff] finds his guitar smashed and has to work odd jobs to buy another one (starting a potential series c plot).

1x10: Paid off: The mysterious benefactor 'Mister R' [DiBiase] pays Galo's [Scott's] bail, getting him free for a while but side-lining him too. The benefactor remains hidden in shadow but Matty & Dell [Triple H & HBK] have a meeting with him to discuss money and the next job.

1x11: Written in Ink: the tattooed bikers on the staff encourage regular customer Earl Black [Austin] to get a skull tattoo on his back and even take him with them to the tattoo parlour they frequent, finding it to be burned to the ground with a 'freaks get lost' sign planted in the wreckage. Murphy Graves [Undertaker] dismisses the rumours that the arsonist is the fire fascinated Vincent Gore [Kane] and even gives him an alibi when the cops come looking for answers, putting blame on someone in town who knows about Vinnie's [Kane's] love of fire, which is nearly every person in town.

1x12: Sergeant Heartbreaker: Sergeant Gautier [Bret] is accused of flirting with the staff at [Cop bar] leading to a paid two day leave to get heat off of him while he's ordered to remain at home.

1x14: Microphones & Megaphones: [cop bar]'s owner Roscoe Power [Jimmy Hart] installs a stage for local acts in the bar, leading to Violet Croft [Eli] performing later that episode (the closing of the episode into the credits) and the night before the first performance the bar is covered in graffiti, leading to a massive clean up effort from the staff and local volunteers (like Mick Foley & The Rock).

1x15: Trench Warfare: Romeo Colombera [IRS] the benefactor's [DiBiase's] right hand man and go-to lawyer gives the degenerates an list of jobs, run the police chief out of town by the end of the year, run the bikers out of town, and ensure that 'Mister R' [DiBiase] the benefactor wins the next mayoral election.

1x18: Night Time Fun: the band attends a college party, unknowingly with Zac Noel [X-Pac] also in attendance, leading to the trio being high and drunk and the Thorn brothers [Matt & Jeff] end up in a fight, almost being thrown out of college entirely for their actions the next morning.

1x20: Grunt Work: The degenerates have a group meeting about how to sabotage the town meeting, leading to Rennell [DiBiase] coming out of the shadows to lead the degenerates in a coordinated attack on the town hall. Leading to the degenerates waiting until the town meeting to begin the next day.

1x21: Town Meeting: Mayor Robert Sweet [Duggan] conducts a town meeting, leading to everyone airing their grievances with the degenerates recent spree of activity. At the end of the meeting, paint bombs hidden above the townsfolk go off all at once, covering everyone in bright, almost neon, green paint.

Seducing the Gem (Nash Wells x Reader, Chapter 5/9)

Rating: M (Smut in Chapter 6 only)

Summary: When a mysterious package shows up at your front door, you (a famous Romance novelist) are hurtled from your virtually uneventful life and into one of danger and adventure. In a quest to save your captured friend Caitlin from impending harm, you run into a suave adventurer named Nash who helps you along the way. Or is the charming Nash simply after something in your possession…?

Tag List: @tardis-23 @thecaptainsgingersnap @the-marvelatic @itsprongs

Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4

It’s the cacophony of birds squawking that stirs you from your sleep. Your eyes flutter open to find your head tucked under Nash’s chin. His hand rests on your waist as he continues to sleep.

You feel your eyes go very round.

Immediately, you start to move away from him and stand up, letting your blanket fall away, and start towards your hanging clothes. You hear a rustling, followed by a hum.

“Now that’s what I call a view.”

You laugh awkwardly. “Be quiet.”

Nash smiles to himself. “Hand me my stuff, would you?”

Collecting his now dry clothes, you chuck them at Nash where he sits, then dress yourself without making eye contact with the man. You can’t step into the legs of your jeans fast enough, and nearly fall over. In bracing yourself on the van’s door, you spot something outside.

“Oh my goodness…” you breathe. There is a tiny baby gorilla making its sweet, adorable way towards the van. A little noise leaves your mouth, signalling how cute you think the little creature is. “I just want to go out and snuggle him.”

You reach for the door handle, but Nash grabs your hand to stop you.

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you.”

“Wh-?”

You nearly have a heart attack when the biggest, furriest gorilla face pops up in front of your face at the window. You inhale to scream, but nothing comes out. Instead, and without thinking, you clutch the closest thing - Nash’s undershirt - the only thing he’s managed to put back on so far. His hands hold onto your body, wanting you to feel safe just by touch.

It’s impossible to stop staring at the massive creature outside, especially when it locks eyes with you. The gorilla surveys the pair of you inside the van as if questioning whether you pose a threat to its child but must silently declare you harmless. It wanders over to the infant, scoops it up, and scurries off into the trees.

Only when the apes finally disappear do you realize that you and Nash are still holding each other, and you back off. Hiding your face, you fetch your now dry clothes on the back of the seat.

“Well,” he says cheekily, “that was rather exciting, don’t you think?”

“Being held at gunpoint, almost dying on a bridge, or an ape popping up at me in a window… Yeah. That’s gotta be the most exciting.”

“We had a moment.”

You scoff.

“Harrison Nash Wells believes in ‘moments’? I find that hard to believe.” You finally throw on your shirt and step into your jeans quickly, attempting to look like you’re focusing on the process itself and not still thinking about how he was touching you.

“What, you don’t think I can recognize a moment?” he shoots back.

“I just don’t think you’re that kind of guy. You move too fast to even have moments.”

When you turn around, Nash is right there in your space, staring you down with his piercing blue eyes. His gaze is electrifying - you feel static in your veins.

“Think you have me figured out, do you, Princess?”

“I’ve written characters like you.”

“There’s just one problem,” Nash points out, stepping closer.

“What’s that?”

“I’m not a character. I’m a living-” Step. “Breathing-” Step. “Man.” Step.

You swallow, flustered, and don't know where to look - his eyes or his mouth. Instead, you look out the window.

“We better get going.”

***

The next couple of hours are a bit awkward of a walk. At least, for you it is. Nash carries on with his seemingly inexhaustible amount of confidence.

“Ah, here we go,” he says, looking straight ahead. It almost feels like a mirage, but it couldn’t be more real - a small village.

Civilization!

As you both start making your way past people’s homes, you can’t help but notice each place is in the process of being decorated.

“I wonder what’s going on,” you muse while approaching a couple who are stringing lanterns on their porch. “Excuse us? What’s the occasion? Is there a festival going on?”

“Ah, hello!” greets the exuberant man, “My niece is getting married today! This is all for her.”

“Oh, that’s amazing, congratulations!” you say.

“Thank you.” The man eyes up both you and Nash. “You two are not from around here, are you?”

You laugh.

“No, I’m afraid not,” Nash replies, offering a hand. He introduces himself, then you as ‘Princess.’

“It’s nice to meet you kind strangers. My name is John, and this is my wife, Mary.”

“It’s lovely to meet you, too,” you reply genuinely. Honestly, it’s just such a relief to come across other normal people - ones who aren’t trying to kill you. “Actually, we’re a little lost. Do you think you could help us?”

“We can sure try,” Mary offers. “Where are you looking to go?”

“Kinshasa?”

The couple shares a look.

“That’s a bit of a ways east, dear. Far too long to keep walking. Have you been walking all this time?”

You nod.

“John, what about that old contraption of yours? Could they not take that off your hands?”

“Oh, yes, I suppose I could part with it,” John replies. “I have an old Jeep I was going to sell for parts, but I think you both need it more than I do.”

“Thank you. It’s much appreciated,” Nash says, then points his thumb at you. “I don’t know how much longer she can walk for.”

“Excuse me?” you pipe up. “I can go all night if I have to!”

Nash turns so that only you can see his face, and winks at you. Only then did you hear how that must have sounded. Your cheeks feel on fire now.

“You wouldn’t want to do that,” John points out. “Not safe out there at night.”

“Oh my, and look at your leg, you poor thing!” Mary exclaims. “I will fix that up for you!”

“In fact,” John continues, “if you would like to take a rest from your journey, you may stay with us tonight and we would be happy if you both would join us for the wedding.”

Your eyes light up at the offer. A wedding? How wonderful! Maybe you’ll even take mental notes for a new book during the ceremony! How will the groom look at his bride as she walks down the aisle? And when they cut the cake or the toss of the bouquet?

Just as you say, “Thank you, we’d love to!” Nash answers with, “Oh no, we better get going.”

You share a glance with your companion.

“What about your friend, Princess?” he mutters so only you can hear.

“Nash, maybe I should rest my leg? And like they said, it wouldn’t be safe to head out, especially when we don’t know when we’d get this lucky again out there. Besides, John said he’d lend us his Jeep, so we can leave first thing in the morning.”

Though he drops his shoulders slightly in defeat, he still smiles.

“Yeah. Yeah, alright,” he says.

“Perfect!” Mary says while taking your hands. “We must get you cleaned and clothed! Come with me, dear.” The couple leads you and Nash into their home. It’s quite spacious compared to the other houses along the main strip of the village. You are highly glad for their kind hospitality.

“You look familiar, dear,” Mary says to you, once inside. “I feel like I’ve seen your face be- eeee!”

The squealing woman leaves you standing in the middle of the room as she heads over to her bookshelf. Mary pulls out a book and opens it to the back page, scurrying back to you. You find yourself staring at your author photo and profile.

“You’re (Y/N) (Y/L/N)!” she shouts.

“I am!” You smile at her enthusiasm.

“I am a big, big fan! You are my favourite writer. I have all of your books.”

“Oh my gosh, really? Thank you so much! That means so much to me.”

You can feel Nash’s eyes boring into you without even having to look. And while Mary explains to you why Carter is her favourite male character you’ve written about, you spot Nash plucking one of your six novels from Mary’s bookshelf.

“Just wait until you meet Chase,” you tell her. “He’s in my next book. You’ll just love him too. I know I do.” Nash thumbs through the book in his hands, studying it still.

“I cannot wait!” Mary squeals.

“I’ll send you a copy myself, I promise.”

“You are the sweetest! Now, please dear, follow me. Let’s get you into some new clothes for the ceremony.” You cast a glance over to Nash again, hoping to catch a glimpse of… well, you’re not sure.

The adventurer doesn’t look up from your book.

***

After having a much-needed shower and letting Mary tend to your leg with a bandage, you step out of the spare bedroom clad in your new friend’s beautiful flowy dress she’s loaned to you for the evening.

“My dear, you look breathtaking! My dress was made for you!” Mary coos and rushes to you for a hug. Her enthusiasm and sweetness causes you to break out in a grin. Over her shoulder, you notice John murmur something into Nash’s ear, and Nash, well… he won’t stop staring at you.

Wait. When did Nash change into a tux?

It actually takes a hell of a lot out of you to pick your mouth up off the floor.

He. Looks. So. Good.

It’s almost ridiculous how good he looks, and now you can’t decide whether he looks better clothed like this or down to barely anything like last night...

“You look… good,” you tell him.

“What, the New York Times bestselling author can only come up with the word ‘good’ to describe me?”

You scoff, watching to see if he is indeed somehow inching closer to you. “Shut up. I meant what I said.”

“I don’t look better than good?”

“You look alright.”

“I feel like we’re going backwards now.”

“Aw, you two act like such an old married couple!” Mary points out, shaking you from your banter. “How long have you been together?”

You blush hard, and immediately regret how you acted with Nash. We are not a couple. We do not act like a couple. Far from it!

However, you don’t say any of this aloud. Instead, you laugh a little and say, “I may be a hopeless romantic, Mary, but I’m not that hopeless!” Then nudge Nash in his rib with your elbow as a joke.

The couple laughs along, but when Mary leans over and whispers to John, he nods and makes an agreeable sound.

“Please excuse us,” Mary says to you both, and your hosts proceed to retire to the back room of the house.

“They left us alone on purpose, didn’t they?” you ask Nash.

“Yup.” You find yourselves both shaking your heads at the ridiculousness. It’s not like Nash and you would ever… No. He’s too- He’s not-

You don’t even know exactly what to think about him.
