Friends with Military Benefits | Prologue | Jake Seresin x Reader
[graphic]
next chapter | masterlist
synopsis: purple hearts!au in which you marry jake “hangman” seresin for insurance… and what seems like a simple scam might turn out not to be so simple after all
warnings: no use of y/n, mention of divorce
 ...
“Hey! Movie star in the corner! Butt over here, stop lollygagging around!”
“You’re trying too hard,” you call back in response, standing nevertheless and stretching before heading over to where your best friend, Lina, is working on setting up the bar before opening. Bending down to open a few cabinets, you yell into the other room, “Hey, Pen, we still on to perform tonight?”
“Depends on how dissatisfied the crowd is with you stopping their music,” your boss shoots back. Savage.
Penny Benjamin, your boss and friend-slash-mentor, was your saving grace. She had hired you around the time she bought the bar, The Hard Deck, a few years ago from some of the money in the settlement of the divorce with her ex-husband, Darren—or as you and your coworkers call him, Darren the Douche. Creative, you’re well aware. Penny was the only reason you weren’t on the streets, giving you a place to put your feet down and start working to pay back the colossal mountain of student loan debt you had acquired over four years of undergrad.
You’ve given up on grad school entirely.
Time flies as you, Lina, and your coworkers Sam, Evan, Hannah, and Cody finish prepping for opening rush. Penny has six of you on staff—everyone one rotates days off, and today, a Monday, is Sawyer’s. Yours is Thursday, so only three days to go.
Soon enough, the bar opens. It’s the hotspot Navy bar in the area, uniforms filling the place as it gets later on into the evening.
“Lina!” Sam hollers suddenly as she hurries to the bar, calling your name as well and snapping you out of the zone. “Penny gave the all-clear.”
You grin, high-fiving the blonde. “Perfect.” Hopping the counter, you wink at your boss as she comes to take your place, prompting her to shake her head in fond exasperation. The jukebox cuts out suddenly, causing groans as everyone looks to where Evan unplugged it while the rest of you head to the piano that doubles as a makeshift stage for your purposes. One night after the bar had closed, on Penny’s night off (Tuesdays), the half-drunken six of you had discovered that you were all musically inclined. That led to the creation of a band; practices were bi-weekly after closing Tuesday and at Hannah’s apartment on Friday before work.
Picking up the mic, you tap it to gain the attention of the bar’s patrons, who quickly grow excited as they realize what’s about to go down. Despite missing a bassist—Sawyer—who doubles with backing vocals, you’re still going to make some music and it’s going to sound good. It’s a sporadic event, so when given the chance, your group grabs it whole-heartedly.
“Hey, everyone, how we doing tonight?” You greet to cheers and whoops as the band begins playing in the background. You grin, waiting the necessary measures before coming in.
Where it began, I can’t begin to knowing
But then I know it’s growing strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who’d have believed you’d come along
Hands, touching hands
Reaching out, touching me, touching youuuu
Sweet Caroline!
You pause, holding the mic out to the crowd as they yell, “BUM BUM BUM!” before resuming.
Good times never seemed so good
“SO GOOD! SO GOOD! SO GOOD!”
I’ve been inclined
“BUM BUM BUM!”
To believe they never would
But now I…
The song ends to soon for your liking, and Penny is motioning for you all to wrap it up instead of going into something different. “Thank you! We are Jukebox Replacement!” You say into the mic, to the groans of the crowd at its ending. You chuckle as one holds up a thumbs down. “Dude, that was your request. Anyways, give it up for Penny, the owner, who really meant it when she said only one song! Oh, and please don’t forget to tip your servers, ‘cause—P.S.—we’re also your servers.”
Laughing with your friends, you move back to your paying jobs, the vibrant air from playing remaining for a split second before dissipating as you return to the real world, feeling far less alive than before.

While waiting on Lt. Agnon she scanned some interesting stuff which turned out to be the FWMB-10 repeating blaster! Then she reported back and finished her first mission. It went really well and she got some nice rewards. She just got a good feeling about this place. 🙈

River, Rapier, and Tentacula: The New Marauders
“ ‘Black and Potter. Ringleaders of their little gang. Both very bright, of course – exceptionally bright, in fact – but I don’t think we’ve ever had such a pair of troublemakers.’ ‘I dunno,’ chuckled Hagrid. ‘Fred and George Weasley could give ‘em a run fer their money.’”
“It’s me who’s been putting the Nifflers in her office. Fred and George left me a couple”

Tagged by the wonderful @harlotrouscorduroy to make a list of text fragments I have memorized off the top of my head! Thank you so much 💕💚
Ok first of, I don't have a very good memory so this is HARD. Don't expect verbatim 😅
1. "But how could you live and have no story to tell?" Fyodor Dostoevsky, White Nights
2. "I dreamed a dream tonight / and what did you dream? / that dreamers often lie" (or smth like that) Is a verse from Romeo and Juliet (which I literally haven't read) but lives in my mind rent free. Also "doubt though the stars are fire / doubt thou the sun doth move / doubt truth to be a liar / but never doubt I love" (which i might absolutely be misquoting because i memorized due to a song lmao)
3. "Then you hold life like a face and say 'I will love you again'". From The thing is by Ellen Bass (I remember the quote, but had to google the source hehe)
4. "We hate the sin but love the sinner" That is from Neil Gaiman's Coraline which blew my mind at the ripe old age of seventeen. Also there's this whole paragraph from American Gods about how people are islands and they don't let things come into their islands or else they'll crumble? And also that part from Sandman in which Morpheus says something like hell would hold no power if those there didn't dream of heaven
5. "Cuando estaba frente al pelotón de fusilamiento el coronel Aureliano Buendía recordó la vez que su padre lo llevó a ver la nieve" Or something along those lines, which is the beginning of Cien años de soledad, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez a book which I absolutely adoreadored but will need to reread as I can't remember the details :(
6. And that part of the Genesis that goes something like dust you are and dust you will become? Haunts me literally every moment of my existence
7. And this verse from the Quran which idk why but gives me too much to think about, this language of the birds thing... Yes. I can't explain. (Also I REALLY need to look into its context)
8. Sappho/Carson's "you burn me".
9. "Madrid es una ciudad con un millón de cadáveres" From Damaso Alonso's poem Insomnio which is a post-civil war poem that is desolate and soul crushing and truly impacted me when reading for the first time. And the second and third and fourth...
This is fun!! I tag: @marwoood @collapsology @dreamliar @estellainthedark @n-fwmb @cucullas @ladywithalamp @ciao-knives @reyavie @epic-summaries @littleblairwitch @maskedlady @hairpoofs @frenchmurdock
