Easy Money wip, by DarkIsRising
ETA: Now on AO3 as Conduit After so many wonderful prompts from you lovely folks, it was a conversation about Taylor Swift lyrics with @treescape and @tessiete of all things that got some writing out of me.
So here, it’s maybe/hopefully a WIP Stetopher AU. Lemme know what you think...
Easy Money
It could very well be the easiest money Stiles has ever made.
A cool 10k to spend a weekend with some rich guy getting plowed in his familial estate during some hoity-toity engagement party for Rich Guy’s niece, with an extra 2k on offer if he can make his ex-husband visibly seethe with jealousy. And all that right there—sex, money, annoying the shit out of people— are some of Stiles’ most favorite things ever. So, he’d agreed to it, signed on the dotted line when Rich Guy produced an honest-to-god freelance contract that couldn’t possibly be legal in any of the states save Nevada, and then when Stiles had made some crack about seeing him in a month and “I hope you like a guy in plaid” he’d had the pleasure of watching the corners of Rich Guy’s very, very attractive mouth tighten as he’d said:  “I’ll add in a clause about a clothing stipend. And a consultation with a stylist.”
Jean-Pierre had been just as big of a fan of the flannel and hoodie combo as Rich Guy, which is to say not at all. But what did either of them expect? Stiles is a barista for fuck’s sake. Not like there’s much of a dress code at Cool Beans. Not like Stiles would have managed to hold down a job for three years that started at 5:30 am if he’d been expected to be in anything remotely approaching business casual. But for 10k— possibly 12k— he could absolutely shove himself into blazers and polos and all the other preppy douche-wear Jean-Pierre had plucked for Stiles as he raved about hand to fabric and inseams or whatever.
So he’d collected his clothes and packed them away in the rolling suitcase branded with little LVs all over and, in a month, he showed up in a huffing and puffing Rosco to the airfield to meet the fucking private jet.
They let him drive right on the tarmac to pull in between an Audi A7 and an Escalade, and Stiles can see Rich Guy is there waiting, the promised ex standing beside him.
Rich Guy is every bit as hot as he’d been the first time he’d rolled up to the counter demanding an Americano and Stiles had written “Dream Daddy” on his cup. He’s got stubble shading his square jaw, a v-neck that is stretched to perfection across his muscled chest—and now that Stiles has seen what shirts like that cost, holy shit, it better be doing god’s work—as well as a pair of sunglasses so shiny Stiles can see himself in them when he throws his arms around the guy’s neck and gives him a messy kiss hello.
Rich Guy gives as good as he gets, kissing Stiles with a lazy familiarity that's got him seeing stars, and when he pulls away their lips make a wet, obscene sound. “Stiles.” His voice slithers like something dark and dangerous between Stiles’ shoulder blades and his palm is wandering from Stiles’ lower back to the curve of his ass.
Oh, yeah, this is going to be a fun weekend.
“Peter,” he says back because Stiles does know his name, even if he’s lived in his head as ‘Rich Guy’ for so long.
Stiles actually knows a lot more than just his name, but he’s not going to cop to what his nights of semi-legal “research” had sleuthed out about Peter Hale of the New Hampshire Hales. (Old money, passed down from some railroad robber baron ancestor. Winters spent in Aspen and summers on the Cape. 175 on the LSATs, a graduate from Harvard Law, and a partner in his father’s firm by 30. A mysterious move clear across the country with his new husband shortly after that and then ten years of seeming wedded bliss in northern California followed by an abrupt divorce six months ago.)
“Hiya.” Stiles turns to the ex with a grin, introducing himself with a bright “I’m Stiles,” while Peter noses along the shell of his ear and lower, rough cheek marking a line down his neck.
“Chris,” the ex says, and Stiles has to hand it to him, his voice and expression are as coolly controlled as anything Stiles has ever seen before. Whatever he’s thinking—watching his once-husband of ten years feeling up a twenty-year-old at nine in the morning—is kept locked down tight behind clear, blue eyes.
When Stiles was shamelessly abusing his father’s passwords to do some background checking on the Beacon Hills Sheriff Station’s dime, Christopher Argent had been way more difficult to get a bead on. As far as Stiles can tell he’s a licensed arms dealer who's never gotten so much as a speeding ticket, which is clearly bullshit since no one’s that lawful all the time. Especially no one with a poker face like Chris Argent’s.
He’s hiding something and Stiles is itching to find out what.
“Come on,” Peter murmurs against the hollow of Stiles’ throat. “Let’s get settled for takeoff.”
“What do I do about my Jeep? Do I just leave it out here?”
“Give your keys to Cody,” Chris answers as he waves over some guy in a suit that’s got “hired help” written all over him. “He can take care of it.”
Of course, Stiles should have known they’d have “people” for that. He hands off the keys to his baby with only the slightest twinge of guilt.
“Have you ever flown private before?” Peter asks, ushering Stiles up a set of narrow steps and he hiccups a laugh when he sees the cabin’s cream leather interior and an entertainment system that puts the one in his studio apartment to shame.
“Dude, I’ve never even left the state before,” Stiles grins and gets a sharp frown from Peter, but Chris is laughing softly as he settles into an enormous armchair that looks more like an EZ Boy recliner than any of the plane seats Stiles has seen in movies.
“Well, then, you’re in for a treat,” Chris says kindly enough to Stiles before he catches Peter’s gaze, his icy eyes laser-sharp with derision. “Dude.”

AUTHOR REC: only_angel_28 / @beau-soleil-louis​
Don’t forget to leave kudos and comment to show some love! ♡
a week and thirteen days (1k)
Harry falls in love with the morning sun. 
I can’t do this alone (sometimes I just need a light) (7.8k)
“Harry,” he says after another contemplative moment, “can I hug you?”
It’s been...well, Harry doesn’t actually know how long it’s been. Less than an hour, probably, but already Louis says his name like it’s safe in his mouth, and now he’s opening his arms like Harry could be safe there too.
“Please,” Harry nearly sobs, and sinks into him the way butter melts on toast. It’s an apt metaphor, really, because what Louis is giving him is as essential and sustaining as a loaf of bread to a starving man. His basic need for physical affection is as vital as his need for sustenance, for sleep, and he can’t believe he’s allowed himself to ignore it for so long.
Or: Harry is having a rough time. Louis is the kind stranger who makes him smile again.
I think I’m falling (I’m falling for you) (6.8k)
Louis is a disaster gay on a skateboard. Harry is a beautiful, quirky stranger on a bicycle. Their first encounter really makes a splash.
Bloom (just for you) (495)
“Do you ever think about boys?”
The words fall from Louis’ lips casually, but they’re fragile like a gossamer thread, a single silken strand from a spider’s web of labyrinthine thoughts. They’re the product of literal months of careful introspection, of soul-searching and agonizing and over-thinking. They’re words that he’s never dared to utter aloud, a mirror of his own swirling inner-turmoil of thoughts. Thoughts he previously held tightly to his chest, locked away in his heart along with all his other feelings regarding his best friend.
*Or the arrival of spring brings a new beginning for Harry and Louis.
dopamine (7.8k)
Louis honestly doesn’t know how he gets himself into these types of situations.
Well, actually, that’s a lie. He’s doing this because he needs the money, and because he’s curious. And, okay, maybe because he might be a little bit lonely too. He has always had what his mother affectionately calls an “adventurous spirit.” Couple that with being a (tragically single) broke grad student and voila! here he is scrawling his signature on a release form provided by the university’s sociology department. Essentially, he is agreeing to snog a stranger on camera for the sake of science.
Shouldn’t be a problem, right? All he has to do is lock lips with a (hopefully) fit bloke, collect his money, and be on his way. Easy peasy. Little does he know, fate has other plans for him in the form of one adorably quirky art student who goes by the name of Harry Styles.
How Would You Feel (If I Told You I Loved You) (81k)
An AU inspired by the music video for Ed Sheeran's song Perfect featuring two idiots who are too thick to see that their friendship is anything but platonic, lots of pining, too many terms of endearment to count, a wedding, slow dancing, a couple of steamy hot tub moments, karaoke, snow, a healthy dose of cuddling, love confessions, and Harry and Louis being quite generous to each other.
*Or the one where Harry has been in love with his best friend for four years, and New Year's Eve at his family's holiday home in Switzerland is perfect for finally telling Louis how he feels.
Breathe Me (13k)
The story of what happens when Harry finds a stranger sleeping inside the car his late grandfather left him.
“Louis?” Harry queries softly, his voice nothing more than a whisper. “Why are you living in my car?”
Louis sighs, and this time it’s laced with a mixture of sadness and exhaustion, the sound of it tugging at Harry’s heartstrings. “Long story,” he says finally with a weak smile.  
“Will you tell me?” Harry prods gently, his demeanor akin to that of someone approaching a wild animal with their arms outstretched in a gesture of submission. “You don’t have to, like—I mean…it’s just, I’m a pretty good listener, and you seem like maybe you could use a friend?”
“What gave me away?” Louis jokes dryly.
*Or the one where Harry has a broken heart, Louis has a broken home, and all it takes is one night together for them to fall in love.
You got that something, I got me an appetite (5.9k)
After years of being forced to hide their relationship, Harry and Louis decide to come out with a bang.
Shape of You (11k)
“Seriously?” Surely, Harry must be joking. Louis arches a skeptical brow and snaps the waistband of Harry’s joggers playfully. “What exactly do you have down there, Styles? I know you’ve got four nipples, d’ya have a couple extra bollocks as well or summat?”
“No!” Harry shrieks, his voice bordering on shrill. “No,” He repeats a little quieter, calmer, “I just—I’m, er, kinda…big, I guess.”
Louis rolls his eyes in fond exasperation. “That’s hardly a problem, curly.”
*Or Harry is insecure about a certain rather large part of his anatomy that is apparently intimidating to the point where it has actually scared off potential shags. When he ends up confessing this to his best friend and roommate, Louis takes it upon himself to prove that Harry’s size doesn't have to be a curse, and decides to help show him just how perfect he is.
Please Be Naked (17k)
Louis starts squirming, desperately needing something to do with his hands. Needing to do anything, really, to distract him from the perfect male specimen standing naked in front of him. In the end, the only thing he can do is strip out of his own jeans and briefs, which he does with trembling, clumsy fingers, his heart beating out a violent, chaotic rhythm in his chest the entire time.
He hears Harry’s sharp intake of breath, and slowly raises his eyes from where he was staring at his own bare feet to meet his gaze.
“So,” Harry says bashfully, his voice gone even deeper somehow. “We’re naked.”
“Yup,” Louis squeaks.
“You okay?”
No!
“Yup,” Louis repeats, sounding just as unstable as he did the first time.
This is the last favor Louis Tomlinson is ever doing for Zayn Malik. (Because, after today, he’ll be dead, but that’s neither here nor there.)
*Or the one where Louis agrees to help out Zayn with one of his art projects and ends up getting much more than he bargained for.
Hey I Heard You Were A Wild One (If I Took You Home It’d Be A Homerun) (12k)
"Are you out?” Louis huffs a long suffering sigh as he studies Harry from the other side of the bar, the neon from the beer signs making his eyes glow an unnatural shade of blue, and causing Harry to question - not for the first time tonight - if he is real or just some fever dream-esque fantasy conjured up by Harry’s alcohol addled brain.
“You’re fucking kidding me right?” Harry laughs incredulously.
Louis is resolute in his posture as he continues to observe Harry, the slight arch of a brow his only acknowledgement of Harry’s question. That’s fine, Harry decides, it was mostly rhetorical anyway.
“A gay cowboy who rides for a living, can you imagine all the Brokeback Mountain jokes I’d have to endure on a daily basis? I don’t really fancy being compared to Jake Gyllenhaal.”
A hint of a smirk tugs at the corners of Louis’ pursed lips. “Now you’re the one who must be joking, because you are so clearly Heath Ledger in that scenario.”
*Or Harry came to the bar to forget. Louis gives him a night to remember.
Your Love Is My Turning Page When Only The Sweetest Words Remain (8.4k)
“Crying already, Styles?” Louis chides him teasingly, unable to contain the smile that’s breaking across his face.
“So what if I am? What are you going to do about it?” Harry sniffs indignantly.
Louis makes a show of pretending to consider this, steepling his fingers in front of his chest and giving Harry a contemplative once-over.
“Marry you.” He decides, smirking at Harry.
“Guess you won’t be able to call me Styles much longer then.” Harry counters, biting down on his own barely-contained grin.
“Guess not.” Louis agrees happily.
Say You Won’t Let Go (5.7k)
Harry hates flying. Louis is the kind stranger who helps him when he gets sick in the airport restroom. The rest, as they say, is history.
Back To You (5.8k)
"Hello?" His voice came out all high and breathy like an anxious school girl, and he cringed internally at how wrecked he sounded already.
"Lou?"
Harry's voice was the same as ever, deeper than the sea and somehow both gravelly and smooth as silk. Harry was full of infuriating little contradictions like that. It drove Louis crazy. He had spent a good portion of his life questioning if Harry Styles was actually even human; on paper he just didn't make sense. He was an enigma, an anomaly, the exception to every rule.
*After dropping his new single, "Back To You" Louis gets a text from Harry inquiring about the true inspiration for the song.

Hello! Hope you're doing well! I'm wondering if you have any Outside POV fics you could recommend; I have a soft spot for reading about how people view Shane and Ryan's relationship.
Tumblr media
Here are some good ones! 
Big Apple Steve and That Time He Obliviously Third-Wheeled His Friends All Summer - beethechange | T, 12k, complete
Steven Lim is not a stupid man. Steven Lim is a capable man, an ex-scientist, creator and producer of Buzzfeed’s most popular video series. He helped invent Tide Pods, for Pete’s sake. Tide Pods.
So he knows he’s no idiot. He’s naïve, perhaps. He has blind spots, like anyone, particularly when it comes to relationships, especially when it comes to sex.
Still, when he walks in on Ryan sitting astride Shane’s lap on the sofa, tongue fully in the guy’s mouth, hand fully down his pants, Steven reckons he should probably have seen this one coming.
Both Sides Now - calico_fiction | T, 5k, complete
As a prank on Crowley for napping too long, Aziraphale invites the American paranormal investigation show Buzzfeed Unsolved: Supernatural to do an episode in the bookshop.

“Fuck you, man,” Ryan growled, rubbing his tailbone where he landed on when he fell down just moments ago.
“I’m pretty sure that’s what Devon already thinks we’re doing,” Shane said cheerfully, not at all sounding bothered by the thought.
“Oh shut up, dude.”
______________________
There are many many reasons why everyone thinks they're together. They're really not.…or are they?
This is that story.

Low Swings
Tumblr media
Characters: Peter Parker x reader (platonic), Tony (briefly)
Warnings: there aren’t really any, just Peter feeling a little down I guess and lots of sarcasm
Word count: 1.6k
Description: When you work with a partner, it’s hard to prevent things from getting competitive. Things are no different in the world of superheroes. It may start as a silly race to see who is the best for the purposes of bragging rights but sometimes, the race can overtake your judgement.
A/N: Hello again! This is for two different challenges (@until-theend-oftheline Kari’s 1k MCU writing challenge and @hollandroos Soph’s 12k writing challenge). Congratulations to you both on the milestones and my prompts are in bold below. Little disclaimer, I wrote a Peter Parker fic a while ago and stole the reader character from that for her powers and personality. You can read it as a prequel, sequel whatever but the two stories are not linked. Enjoy xx Marvel Masterlist
Story:
“I got him!” Y/N speaks seemingly to no one while keeping her eyes locked on the man in the balaclava sprinting below her in the alley. She jumps gracefully from building to building with practiced ease, managing the large gaps like a child hopping across a small puddle. Her movement is reminiscent of a cat leaping from one climbing post to another.
“I thought you said I could get this one! I have to be able to tell Mr Stark I’m doing my job!” Peter whines into her earpiece, swinging from his webs a few blocks away. He was busy chasing down yet another bike thief across town when Karen informed him of a man armed with a gun escaping the scene of a robbery and that Y/N was on her way. No way was he going to let her get the guy first.
“And so do I! I can’t help it that I’m better than you.” She rolls her eyes, not that he can see but he should be used to it by now, before glancing back to see the red and blue clad hero getting closer. Immediately she picks up the pace in response, increasing the strain on her muscles and lungs. The pain she’ll feel tomorrow is worth it though, to get a ‘well done kiddo’ from Stark and rights to rub it in Parker’s smug face until the next time. The conviction tally currently stands 27:26 to Y/N. Not that anyone’s counting or anything like that.
“Please! I’ll do your homework for a week.” He pleads, the thwip of his web shooters audible in the background through the earpiece.
“Sure, cos I want lower grades than I’m currently getting.” Y/N taunts. Spotting a chance to get closer, she leaps down to a rusty fire escape and swiftly descends the ladder. Upon hearing her footsteps clanging on the metal, the criminal’s eyes widen in fear and he speeds up. Somebody wasn’t expecting super heroes to be in the area.
“I’ll buy you a pizza!”
“Tempting but no.”
“I’ll stop calling you Frazzles!”
“No! You’re not having this one!”
“Aw come on Frazzles!” Peter takes a break on top of a satellite tower to watch the chase and plan his next move. Y/N is quickly gaining on the guy despite not having the same enhanced capabilities as Peter (such as his stamina and speed) and she hasn’t even had to zap him yet with one of her self-produced lasers- show off! Amazingly, this thief is still going after running from the scene of the robbery nearly twenty minutes ago (most people get tired after five or make a mistake with a wrong turn that lands them in the arms of the police or a sticky web). Perhaps they’re one of the various people with powers emerging across the city.
Peter spies an opportunity coming up ahead on the next turn to land him the capture and immediately swings in it’s direction. Y/N notices his change of course straight away in her peripheral vision.
“Spidey, what are you doing?” she asks, mentally kicking herself for not being suspicious of the radio silence. Silence often- scratch that- always means he’s up to something.
“My job!” He grunts with the effort, swinging feet first into Y/N and knocking her flying sideways. She lands inside an open locker unceremoniously on her ass with a crash. Only Peter misjudged the strength needed to sabotage his partner and flies in after her, landing on top of her in fact, with the metal door hinges whining shut. The lock clicks, trapping them inside.
“Ah my ankle!” He hisses into the pitch black.
“Oh boo hoo! At least you didn’t have a 200 pound spider kick you in the chest and land on top of you!” Y/N huffs aggressively, smacking him over the head to get him to move.
“I can’t see.”
“Great detective work genius! Hang on…” Y/N scowls, producing light from her hands as easy and taking a breath. The locker is very small leaving little to no room for personal space and it stinks like an unattended public toilet.
“Mr Stark is not gonna be happy with us…”
“Us? I’m sorry, how did we end up locked in here? Oh that’s right; you attacked me!”
“I was just trying to get you out of the way so I could get the guy first. I didn’t think-”
“Yeah, you didn’t think. You didn’t focus on the mission, you focused on beating me. Not everything is a contest Parker.” Y/N’s voice softens. She looks to Peter noticing his downtrodden attitude.
“I just… I really want to impress Mr Stark. If I do really well, he might actually make me an Avenger for real.”
“Peter…” she starts, feeling guilty for snapping at him earlier.
Peter always says he wants to be an Avenger, ever since he came back from Germany, it’s a constant thing. Y/N was offered the chance to go as well but she was so close to busting a drug ring in the city that she had to turn it down (she also didn’t want to join in the fight for Tony’s sake since she actually sided with Steve). Once they returned home, Stark introduced her to Peter as someone to work with but also as someone to keep a close eye on. Things soon inevitably became competitive between the pair.
“Okay, I can’t believe I’m about to say this… you can get the next one.” Peter’s head perks up from where it was rested in his hands.
“Wait really?”
“Really. Now let’s get out of here.” Y/N turns to face the door again. She takes a deep breath, focusing her energy on her outstretched palm and feeling the warmth concentrating in the center. The soft light becomes a streamlined beam and slices through the metal door like a hot knife through butter. Her line is shaky but eventually she cuts out a small doorway allowing herself and Peter to escape their dank prison.
Avoiding the burning white melted metal, the duo step out into the alley again, the criminal they were chasing nowhere to be seen. Typical- they never stick around for their local crime fighters and wait to be caught. The only life in the shady corner is a stray black and white kitten.
“Where do you think he went?” Peter asks, scanning the nearby area for heat signatures with the help of his suit.
“I dunno! I’ll interrogate the cat.” Y/N kneels down and coaxes the kitty over by clicking her tongue, stroking it’s fluffy fur gingerly with her outstretched hand, “Hey buddy, are you lost? Can we help you find your home?”
“It’s a stray Frazzles. Keep stroking it and it’ll follow us home.” Peter rolls his eyes behind his mask.
“Do you need a home? You can come with me if you want.” She smiles as the kitten purrs in her hand, her voice becoming increasingly more babyish.
“Y/N! Let’s go!”
“Hold on!” She scoops up the ball of fur, “Consider this mission a success, we saved Catasha Meowmanoff from a life on the streets.”
“Your mom isn’t going to let you keep it ya know?”
“That’s why she’s not going to find out. And you’re not going to tell her!” Y/N warns Peter, a threatening tone detectable in her voice as she lowers the kitten to the floor. She prowls around the bedroom floor and sniffs the hanging bed sheets with uncertainty, tiny claws catching on the soft carpet. A flash of red catches her eye and she pounces on it, swatting at the light with her little paws in the hopes of capturing it. The said light originates from Peter’s suit and he grins like a child as Catasha almost climbs the wall to get at the laser.
“Ok, I’ll admit she’s pretty cute.”
“See!” Y/N grins victorious, ”… But it goes without saying, no one is to find out about the name. Especially Natasha. I’d like to keep my head attached to my shoulders.” Y/N absentmindedly rubs her hand over the back of her head, right over the spot when Nat last swatted her with a magazine (she set Nat’s ringtone to ‘Black Widow’ by Rita Ora and the world class assassin heard it go off when they both happened to be at the compound at the same time).
“I think she’d probably kill me too so yeah, deal.” Peter scratches Catasha behind her ears, knowing very well of Natasha’s capabilities. But, as much as he would love to play with a ball of fur, there are people to save and crimes to stop so he has to leave. Mask on, Peter steps out onto the fire escape outside Y/N’s bedroom window just as he gets an incoming call alert for Tony Stark.
“Peter! I trust you and Sunshine are playing nicely. I have a new job for you two, organised gang fights in condemned buildings near you. You are still interested in helping out the ‘neighborhood’ as a ‘friendly’ crime fighter, right?” He can tell there were some air quotes made on Tony’s end of the line.
“Yeah yeah y-yeah I’m-I- we’ll get on it right away Mr Stark, sir.”
“Mrrow!”
“What was that?”
“A cat. Stray cat. Not a house cat, a stray cat. Stray, not a pet.” Peter fumbles with his words while Y/N glares at him with eyes begging him to shut up.
“Right… keep up the good work kid.” Tony hangs up; he’s a busy man after all. Looking to Y/N through the mask, his white spider eyes widen.
“We’ve got another job to do.”

Legacy Deck Tech: Painter’s Masterpiece
[you can see every deck tech here]
Hello & welcome to this weekly deck tech! This week it’s time to talk about some Legacy & I thought I’d bring something very special to the table. I was looking at all the Masterpiece series, Expeditions & Invocations to see if you could actually make a deck with them; turns out you can! There’s this deck called Painter’s Servant in Legacy which is pretty fringe and most deck lists vary a lot depending on the user, but all of the key cards have been printed as those special series so it’s entirely possible to make a deck with them. Now, a regular version of this deck is probably around 2000$, mostly since you need some dual lands, but this Masterpiece deck is...a bit more expensive...
Tumblr media
So yeah, BY NO MEANS do I recommend you guys to buy this deck, please don’t hold me responsible if you decide to spend 12k on a deck...Though I know there are some people out there collecting Masterpiece series cards, so by all means if you already have those cards lying around like some sort of rich aristocrat, please try out this deck since it’s really really fun. Let’s get right to it.
Name of the Deck
Tumblr media
This card lends it’s name to the deck because it’s your main win condition. The goal of the deck is to play Painter’s Servant and hopefully win on the same turn. We’ll see how in a second, but basically this card turns EVERY card the colour of your choice, including lands, cards in libraries, graveyards, hands, stack, you name it! The colour you’ll choose won’t matter, I personally like naming Green, but that’s entirely up to you!
How to Win
Tumblr media
And this is how the deck wins. It’s really simple, you play the Painter’s Servant, name a colour and with Grindstone you target your opponent once and they’ll mill their entire deck out since the cards will always share a colour! The only card that completely shuts down your deck is Emrakul...so if you end up playing against a Show & Tell deck you’ve probably already lost...Other than that the deck has some really good match-ups all around though!
Explosive Start
Tumblr media
The deck is a combo deck, and because of that the plan is to go off as fast as you possibly can. For that you NEED mana rocks, so I’d recommend going with full playsets of Lotus Petal, Mox Opal & Chrome Mox. With enough of those cheap rocks you can potentially win on turn 1 (though it requires you a perfect hand and for your opponent to not have a Force of Will...) but it’s realistic to win on turn 3 fairly easily.
Protecting Your Combo
Tumblr media
As any combo deck should, you need to have some ways of protecting your stuff. The go-to cards are Force of Will & Daze, you need to play both of them to really make sure you can do your stuff without any problems. Plus, having those cards really help you fend off other combo decks that would otherwise be a problem for you.
Say “No” to Counters
Tumblr media
Another great way to protect your combo is to prevent your opponent from playing anything on your turn! Honestly I think Defense Grid is really underrated in Legacy, since it completely prevents your opponent from using Force of Will which is one of the most played card of the format, and it also forces them to play everything at sorcery speed, including Brainstorm, another one of the most played cards of the format. Just be careful, if you play this against another combo deck you just shot yourself in the foot...
Legacy All-Star
Tumblr media
I’ve said this a lot over the past decade or so, Chalice of the Void is one of the best magic cards ever printed, and it’s even more true in Legacy. Most decks will play cards of CMC 1 & 2, with some rare 3 here & there; but playing a Chalice on 1 will turn off SO MANY DECKS. I’ve played a Pox deck for a while and you’d be surprised how many people have straight up conceded because of a Chalice on turn 1. Just be careful not to hinder yourself when playing this.
Modern All-Star
Tumblr media
While this card shines more in Modern, Blood Moon still sees it’s fair share of play in Legacy and is really good in this deck. Your deck is mostly colourless and your only blue cards can be cast for free, so honestly Blood Moon doesn’t affect you. On the other hand this card is a massive pain in the ass for a lot of decks, including control & tempo, which are the majority of the meta. Oh, and the Lands deck also HATES this card.
Another Star?
Tumblr media
Oh hey look another amazing card across all the formats! Ensnaring Bridge is just so good against so many decks. If you’re able to get this down with a Blood Moon & Defense Grid I honestly don’t know what your opponent can do to get out of this, at least before sideboard. This card can buy you so many turns.
Mana Base
Tumblr media
Normally the deck would play a mix of fetches & duals with a playset of Ancient Tomb for some extra fast first turns and some good fixing, but since the deck is Masterpiece only duals are a no-go. I’d recommend playing some Scalding Tarns, Steam Vents, Wasteland & Cascade Bluffs; 18 lands should be enough sicne you have a lot of mana rocks at 0cmc. I’ve tested a bit and the curve is really smooth with these lands.
Situational Cards
Tumblr media
You have some decent sideboard options but I HIGHLY recommend going with Engineered Explosives, Pithing Needle, Sphere of Resistance & Trinisphere. Those cards all offer some really nice utility against different decks, as well as some ways to keep some decks in check. You just need to learn what cards are in your opponent’s deck to know which card to bring in, but all those sideboard cards should cover most decks, except maybe Reanimator, but you already have Ensnaring Bridge which kind of shuts down Griselbrand so...
Wrap-Up
That’s it for this week! I hope you guys enjoyed this deck tech as much as I did. Again, BY NO MEANS am I recommending you buy this deck, for god’s sake it’s worth 12k! I’m just saying it’s possible to make a viable Legacy deck with only Masterpiece cards and that the deck is really fun! The deck functions as a prison-type deck, preventing your opponent from doing anything while you assemble your combo. You can either win on turn 2 or 3, or go the prison route, play it safe, and win on turn 10-12, it depends on your match-up. In any case, if I missed anything please let me know. I’ll see you guys next week for a Pauper deck tech!

Lillee Jean harassment
Hello everyone, this is Sake Kitty.
Before I start to write, I just want to say I am NOT the best writer. I do have dyslexia and writing, reading, and grammar is not my strong point. I am also writing this quickly so there are going to be some errors. So please be kind.
So there been a lot going around about #lilleejean and her mother harassing people and doxing them. It is coming to a boiling point with her harassing Tater Tatiana (Youtuber / makeup artist) and bullying her off of her platforms. #creepshowart has cover it in her latest video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i65d8nJE8Ok)
Now before I start, I want people to check out on all these videos of lillee jean and her behavior. There are so many account on what Lille Jean did over the years. From racism, doxing, harassment, false DMC, being transphobic, and much more. (this is the list. It updates almost weekly and changes) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLERcU8HItBX-BrhYk5vppP7eg64jBFQhy
Now let me state that I am going to focus on my accounts with Lillee Jean, her mom, and her 'fan base.’ Other people might be mention but that is because they were also effect too in some way.
Now I know people might want to know WHY/HOW I became involved in the #lillejean drama.
Well It was because of #cosplay and her involvement. I found her out with her #sailormoon makeup tutorial. It's not the best but it did seem like she was getting into cosplay and intergrading it with her makeup looks/tutorials.
I found it odd that this makeup guru with 1mil followers on Instagram and 12k on YouTube with not many views or comments. It was a clear sign that these are mainly bought followers. It not the first time I seen cosplayers buy followers or likes (that another subject). It's wasn’t until I looked at other people videos on what she did over the years ( I fell down the rabbit hole. It was deep) Some of them are
- talking about her boyfriend being 9 years older than her and telling her young viewers about it and saying that "its ok for an old man to date a 14 year old as long you don't report it."
- Being transphobic
- Harassment
- Racism
- Fake followers, like and engagement
- Lying on her skills and brand deals
- Can't take any good criticism
- Spreading rumors
Now these are things that people DON’T WANT in the cosplay community. I been a guest at conventions and you really have to hold yourself to a higher standard since a lot of people will look up to you. Your behaviors reflect on the community. Plus she focus on cartoon, Disney, Anime, and comic book characters. Those will being in a younger audiences and they will think that what she says or does is ok. I also think that she heading to the cosplay area is because she lost any chance of becoming a Makeup Guru and doing cosplay will get her more views and sponsorships (which it did).
More and more Makeup artist are trying out cosplay looks and brand are going to the cosplayers because being geek is cool and there is a whole community and Money into cosplay.
Sad thing is that some brand deals and even conventions have hired and got guests that lie about their fame and skills. I have called out other cosplayers over the years on their lies and made sure they won’t be guest or enter competitions. It is very unfair when people lie, cheat, and bought their way to the top.
I was worried that she was going to get hired, sponsors, and even get invited to be guest at conventions. I didn’t want someone like that to be in the community. So I called her out on twitter to not let her be guest at conventions.
This really piss her off and that when the endless harassment began. I am just a small time cosplayer so I know my story is just a small one but I think it needs to be told. So, for the next few days, I am going to show and share my story of this terrible person.

I love Omega!Stiles, can you rec me some of your fav fics with this trope??
Sure can! :)
You Smell Like Mine by bleep0bleep [13k, E]
People talk about the alpha instinct, an alpha's head being swayed by a nice-smelling omega, or the desire to drop everything and show off. Derek's never felt any of that. He's just not that kind of alpha.
Then he meets Stiles.
Fight Fires In Your Best Clothes by standinginanicedress [67k, E]
The key isn’t actually being confident, he repeats in his head in Lydia’s breathy voice. It’s faking the hell out of it and looking as sexy as possible while you do it. For omegas, it’s easy. There’s a natural charm to all of us that only takes seconds to engage, and barely takes practice.
Walk into the room, he chants in his head. Own it, and look people in the eyes. Find the best looking alpha, have them buy you a drink, and the rest is easy.
Worth the Wait by Dexterous_Sinistrous [13k, E]
Stiles always had a thing for Derek, but then again, so did everyone else. Stiles just wanted to be seen as different, which was why he waited.
But maybe he waited a little too long.
The Fox & The Wolf by Dexterous_Sinistrous [79k, E]
The war between the fox and wolf clans has raged for centuries, ignited in a time before anyone can remember. Now both clans—tired of the bloodshed and hate—are searching for a way to end the war.
Crowned prince Stiles Stilinski—heir to the fox clan—has agreed with his father to meet with the Hales, the ruling royal family over the wolf clan. Under the counseling of the Druids, both clans are presented with a solution to the war: unite the Stilinski and Hale clans through marriage. To quell their people's anger, both Stiles and Derek—eldest living Hale Alpha—are urged to accept the other as an equal; as their mate.
For the sake of their people, both houses make the ultimate sacrifice by choosing duty over love. But, out of what was first assumed to be compromised, quickly turns to be a better match than either could have hoped for. But not all is easy for either clan, as some members refuse to believe that the war could end so easily.
Empty by DiscontentedWinter [48k, M]
Jordan Parrish is the new sheriff of Beacon Hills, a town haunted by its past.
(Note: it has Parrish’s pov but it’s Sterek and it’s brilliant!)
Leaving Paradise by NARKOTIKA [43k, E]
A boy dreams of freedom, a broken man finds home, and they learn to love in a world where it feels more impossible than water falling from the sky.
A Change of Plans by sunnydalewerewolf [12k, E]
Stiles and Derek had been best friends since they were babies, their parents having all been friends since college. Growing up, it had seemed very apparent that Derek would be an alpha and Stiles an omega. Stiles had just kind of always assumed they would end up together, and he thought Derek had assumed the same. No one ever said anything about it, but that’s just the way things would be.
So when they both end up being omegas, things get kind of complicated.
Flower Bomb by rispacooper [6k, M]
When an eligible omega glanced your way, you were supposed to glance back. Derek could hear an echo of his mother’s voice in his head, gently reminding him there were alphas who would kill to find themselves the focus of an omega’s interest.
Derek didn’t have the dominating personality or drive necessary to be classified as alpha, and there was no bright spark of appeal about him to say he was omega. He was tall and in good shape. He had a pretty face, dark hair and light eyes, good bone structure. But he had no need to get in fights or conquer the world. He didn’t even like arguing with his family. He was solidly beta, and wouldn’t have minded, never had minded, except for when Stiles was near.
You're a Mess, But You're a Catch to Me by jsea [11k, E]
The laws are clear: omegas are required to have an alpha guardian. So when the sheriff gets shot, Derek is roped in to stepping up as Stiles' temporary alpha while he recovers.
Derek knew it was going to be a bad idea, but he never could have predicted all of the ways that Stiles would end up turning his life upside down.
Someday Came Today by Fatebegins [81k, E]
"March 2, 1810. . .Today, I met the man I’m going to marry."
At the age of eight, Genim “Stiles” Stilinski showed no signs of Great Beauty. And even at eight, Stiles learned to accept the expectations society held for him--until the evening when Derek Hale, the handsome and dashing Alpha of the Hale pack, solemnly kissed his hand and promised him that one day he would grow into himself, that one day he would be as beautiful as he already was smart. And even at eight, Stiles knew he would love him forever.
But the years that followed were as cruel to Derek as they were kind to Stiles. Stiles is as intriguing as the Duke boldly predicted on that memorable day--while Derek is a lonely, bitter man, crushed by a devastating loss. But Stiles has never forgotten the truth he set down on paper all those years earlier--and he will not allow the love that is his destiny to slip through his fingers.
I Still Believe by IAmAVeronica [111k, E]
War is hell.Falling in love with enemy solider Derek Hale, secretly mating him, and then accidentally being left behind by him when the war suddenly and violently ends is a special kind of hell apparently reserved for one human omega Stiles Stilinski.But Stiles is determined to find his mate again, because Derek left more than just Stiles in a war-ravaged and werewolf-hating country - and with danger at every turn and nothing but Derek's gun and his own wits for protection, hell hath no fury like Stiles now.
Fire, Fury, and Flame by IAmAVeronica [124k, E]
Stiles Stilinski was never going to be the omega who got knocked up right after high school, and then he's accidentally artificially inseminated with a stranger's sperm.Awesome.And the father of Stiles's baby just so happens to be Derek Hale. Half-feral, quite possibly a murderer, and pursued by a gleefully sadistic band of hunters who are only too eager to use Stiles and his baby to hit Derek right where it hurts.Joy.
a mountain to climb by grimm [126k, E]
"Don’t do it,” he mutters. “Don’t do it, please, don’t do it.”
But there it is, a soft pink line appearing right next to the control. Stiles’ legs give out from under him; he sinks to the bathroom floor, hands shaking, his entire body shaking. It’s hard to breathe, his vision blurring around the edges. There’s a knock on the door behind him and then it opens and Scott sits down next to him.
“I’m fucked,” Stiles gasps, tears prickling at his eyes. “I’m fucked!"
The Chase by saltandbyrne for Akuneko42 [10k, E]
Derek's fourth Chase will be his last if he doesn't catch an omega this time. He's starting to doubt this whole soul-mate thing anyway, at least until someone from his past shows up and gives him the run of his life.
Commands and Contrasts by ravingrevolution [88k, M]
"Collared Alphas are Careful Alphas"
Seriously? What the hell was that? Because putting a collar on someone was supposed to make them manageable or something? Sure thing.
Or: "Mated Betas are Better Betas"
Again with the control issues. But then again betas were by far the most common classification type, so Stiles assumed that was mainly posted to keep things kind of even.
His least favorite was definitely: "Keep Omegas Pure - Report Uncollared Unmated Alphas Always"
Just wow.
Stiles attended all the home economics classes, like a good omega, and took all his pills, like a good omega, and outwardly submitted to authority, like a good omega, but he didn’t buy into the whole structure dynamic thing. He just didn’t.
In the Solstice of our Hearts by ravingrevolution [73k, E]
"You're not putting that up your butt," Scott told him flatly and Stiles couldn't stop the pissed off whine he made, but his friend continued. "Stiles, you can't put that up your butt, you know that. Your butt won't be ready for anything to go in it until-"
"Okay, okay!" he said, flailing his hands to stop his friend's lecture. "Message received, no butt stuff until I'm pounced on by some freaking animal in the forest and ravished to within an inch of my life. Got it. Thanks, Scotty, I mean heaven forbid I actually try to take control of my life and give myself a fighting chance or anything."
"Not all alphas are animals," Scott said quietly.
Maybe he was right, but Stiles wasn't holding his breath.
Ssshhh! (or the voice in my head will have to shout) by mirrorkill [20k, E]
Things in Beacon Hills are always weird, but Deputy Derek Hale is pretty damn sure he's getting the brunt of this week's insanity. There's a serial killer in town getting their kicks by posing people weirdly and maybe the local coven is to blame. His mom's setting up his sister with his new boss's cute son. There's some guy talking in his head. Oh, and his heat kicks in, four months too early. Also: he's pretty sure cell phones are the worst thing on the planet.
This is Derek Hale's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week. All he wants is to enjoy his new apartment in peace. But you can't always get what you want. And if he tries real hard, will the voice in his head help him get what he needs?
The One With The Mail-Order Brides and A/B/O Dynamics by Stoney [16k, E]
Wolves aren't meant to be alone. Laura tells Derek this repeatedly. Which... is why Derek knows he's losing his mind, as Laura has been dead for more than six years. Wolves aren't meant to be alone.
And so he sends away for a companion. JUST for a companion, not for a mate. The universe, however, has a different plan in store for him.
Hello, Heartbreaker by astoryaboutwar [18k, E]
It’s a popular joke among Alphas: fuck an Omega, get heartbreak on your hands. Omegas are fragile little emotional things, needy and whiny. Stiles refuses to become that, or to believe that he’s anything like that.
Stiles and Derek have been fuckbuddies for a while when Derek loses his memories of the past three years - and them - in an accident. (Also - everyone's a werewolf, and everyone's alive.)
an exaltation of larks by llassah [25k, E]
There are times when he feels as if they could fall into bed together, easy as breathing. If Stiles were not highborn, if he were an omega without connections, Derek would be sorely tempted. As it is, he resists. Derek wants, he yearns, but he resists. Still, the sight of Stiles in his cot is enough to test him, even now that it is familiar. At the end of each lambing season, he sleeps for a week, worn down by months of hard work, of relentless struggle. He doesn’t know how he’ll feel by the time Stiles leaves, how he’ll feel after long days and longer nights spent resisting the insistent tug of Stiles’s scent and the inclinations of his own foolish heart.
All Derek wants is to get through the lambing season with his body and spirit intact. He had thought that the blizzards would be the main danger, not a highborn omega with beautiful eyes and a stubborn streak.
Settle Down by wearing_tearing, whatthehale [153k, E]
Stiles is a struggling author barely making ends meet.
Derek is a successful architect whose biological clock is ticking.
Enter a surrogacy agency, two packs, and a particularly sticky and toe curling heat week and you get a match made in heaven.
The Sanctuary by chase_acow [24k, E]
Stiles runs away during his first heat, right into the waiting and ambiguously scary arms of the Alpha's nephew, Derek Hale. He doesn't have any choice except to submit, but along the way, he digs up a mystery that threatens his family and even the town's safety.
Consort to the King by Ember [26k, E]
King Derek, alphas of alphas, ruler of the realms, lord of the city of Beacon Hills, has just asked newly discovered omega Stiles to be his consort and mate. And Stiles, being the lowly commoner that he is, has no choice but to say yes. Will the King's past allow him to love again? Will Stiles ever escape the confines of his new mate's possessive will? Can there be love once more in the castle? Or perhaps, yet again, another betrayal?

Hey everyone,My name is Joe and I started a digital marketing agency in beginning of 2018. My Digital Marketing Agency focuses on Search Engine Optimization (Mostly Local SEO), Web Design & Development (Buying themes or custom creating them), Reputation Management, and Business Consulting. Reason for creating my own company is because I was able to grow my personal brand on Twitter and I thought I could put these strategies to businesses. With countless hours of training, and planning I felt I was ready.​Proof: 📷https://gyazo.com/077201674d0d57161c5395f083c237b3​(These are my experiences and hurdles. I would love to see some comments on people with similar stories.)​The first year was a fight for finding potential clients. If I could re do it I would do it this way to save myself headaches and tons of times. I started straight cold calling people. No script just kind of talked as I believe I'm a natural talker when I have someone interested on the phone. Believe me cold calling gave me so much anxiety, but since quitting/being let go of my job I had no other choice. These are my 10 pointers below that I hope will help future Digital Marketers / Businesses out.​Actually know what you are doing. - TipBeing completely transparent I knew how to rank pages on Google through Google Search Console but I had no idea how much time it took. I was charging clients $500 a month to rank them on the first page. Luckily I had specific niche companies to make it easier for me but I can only imagine if I worked with a doctor or a lawyer in my area and how hard that would of been. Make sure to do your research and analysis everything (competitors, keywords, ranking system) and base your time off this. I personally charge $100 an hour when I do SEO now. Forget all these courses and start doing research online. Everything you need is online and after that it's good ole fashion hard work.​Cold Calling (The Right Way) - TipI use a method of cold calling people now. Most people don't even think about doing this. Use your Chamber of Commerce. If you don't know what that is please look it up. There is a Chamber of Commerce in every single city in the United States. These Chambers give you the business name, phone number, email, and even the Owners name (sometimes). Give them a call and have a plan ready. You don't just call people and not have a plan. Hopefully when I get some time I can write a script so you all can see this. Sample: "Hello my name is Joe. Is the business Owner or director of marketing available" -- You'll get back an answer such as: "No, can I take a message" "Sure One sec" or "Whats this regarding" and then you simply explain to them what you do and you don't want to take too much of their time and simply ask for an email. 99.9% of the time I've gotten an email. Emails = LEADS.​Website and making sure On-Page SEO is done. - TipPeople of reddit. Please don't laugh at my cartoon website. Who knows maybe I'm just over thinking it, but I can't wait to re do our website. We just have zero time at the moment as we are swamped with clients. You all can criticize or give us pointers in what we can do to re do it, but I'm hoping before April 1st it'll be completely different. When starting out please go for a basic, simple, and clean website that shows your services and a bit about the company. For the love of pete sakes please have your website optimized. If you're a business selling SEO services please please please please please have your simple meta tags and H1 headings done. Reason why I'm coming hard on this topic because yours truly aka Joe owner of OMG Marketing didn't have his website optimized and I looked like an amateur that lost me clients and leads. It's really easy to make sure your website is optimized, and please remember to fill out some blogs/posts to fill out your website. Best advice is to rank #1 in your local area. This page ranks #1: https://omgmarketingco.com/apple-valley-ca-seo/ -- Or if you google Apple Valley SEO we will pop #1. I'll come out with more tutorials if this post gets good feedback.​Set up an LLC and a bank account - TipThis is to keep things organized. Set up something. I don't care if its Quick books online you need to make sure you understand and know where all your money is going. This is super important when you have money in your account and you still have things to buy for the client. Keeping track is essential and will show you your profit margins. When I first started out I was a sole proprietorship and had my personal bank account only. It was a mess but luckily I figured it out.​Web Design Clients - Tip/InfoWeb design is fairly easy and the only obstacle is the client themselves. You wouldn't believe how many clients I've had that pay $5,000 for a website and then go completely silent as we try to get information from them. Its insane to me. Make sure up front you tell them they need to be in communication with you at least 1-2 times a week to get information to keep building the website. Also I made a paragraph in my agreements stating if its been over 90 days I can invoice them the rest of the amount and ship them the website as is (unfinished) and be paid out for the rest of the invoice. This is more of a scare tactic as I haven't had to do this.​Email Marketing - Sending Emails - TipThis is were the good ole fashion hard work comes in. We are fortunate enough to use Constant Contact / MailChimp. Now you need to be sending 100-200 emails a day explaining who you are and what you do. What my firm does we simply introduce ourselves. We don't try to sell them anything and we just let the potential prospect know what we can do and maybe one day our businesses will cross paths. We've gotten countless leads from this method. Its all about how you carry yourself.​Don't sell on the first email/phone call or meeting - TipI'm super ashamed to admit this but I tried selling so many people the first meeting. It's like meeting a girl and asking her to get married ASAP. That will never work. Same thing goes with business. DON'T SELL ON THE FIRST MEETING. Give them advice, and actually talk with them and hear their needs and what they've done in the past. If the potential client does ask for a price simply let them know that you need to go back to your team and talk it over before giving them a price which then sets up for a 2nd meeting. This not only makes you look more professional but it puts you in control. If you're good at what you do you'll eventually get clients.​Backlinks, Referring Domains, White Hat SEO, Black Hat SEO - InfoI don't care what anyone says. If someone tells you that they do White Hat only they are simply lying. I have yet to meet someone that did all white hat SEO and ranked their client in a matter of 3-6 months. There is obviously a market for Black Hat SEO and people do use these tactics to get better rankings. I've used it. All the top SEO companies and influences have used them. My best advice for this is to simply do research before buying back links or domains. I've seen terrible domains & back links bought that actually hurt the client website. This is super important. If you are starting off always start off organically and learn SEO. Don't take the cheap way out. I promise you'll benefit more doing things organically and actually learning SEO than buying a back link from china.​Utilize Instagram & Facebook - Tip For AllI don't understand when I go to business websites and I don't see their Facebook or Instagram set up. It's 2019 and you need to have a good presence on social media. For example: If you see a nice fitted man in a suit vs. a guy that looks like a slob but they are both in the SEO field. Which one are you going to work with? It's all about appearances. Sad, but true. Appearances will make or break you. This has to deal with online appearance and real life appearance. Make sure you have clean images on both platforms and make sure you are active. I could write a whole article just on Instagram and Facebook, but for now this is the simple tip I'll do for now.​RelaxDon't stress about not finding clients or lowering your pricing to please a client. Don't ever lower your pricing. Value yourself. I used to do that when I started. I would charge $500 for SEO and I would charge $750 - $1000 for a 6 page information website. I remember one time I quoted a shopify store with 60 items at $1,000 (dumb ass). I went through rough patches where the Agency had $0 for the months of November/December. Just make sure to plan. I was on the verge of not coming up with rent and other various things. Just remember in the end that everything will work itself out. Just keep working hard and never stop.​I wish you all the best week possible and keep on grinding!​​

Is it legal to do this with car insurance?
I know of people who do this for the sake of saving money, but I am not sure if it is legal or not? Say Person A has horrible insurance rates to the point of where driving is impossible to afford. Now let's say Person A sells their car to their significant other, Person B for a small price and transfers the title into Person B's name, so now this car on Person B's active insurance policy. Person B's rates will go up a bit based on their cost to insure, however Person A will still be driving this vehicle on a regular basis, and simply pay Person B the additional, much cheaper premium.

Do insurance companies rate based on points or violations??
I am 23 and have no points on my licence. I live in maryland and i was pulled over in virginia for speeding and recived a 'failure to obey a highway sign' violation. The officer said he gave me that cause it was a lesser fine, i think it was B.S. cause he didnt have me on radar (i asked to see the radar becase he said i was going 75 in a 65, i felt i was going 70 max.. he said they arent supposed to lock in the speed int he radar but that is a different issue) I contacted a rep from the MVA and he said no points would transfer to my driving record, but the violation would go on my record carrying no points. My question is, do the insurance companies look at just the points on your licence, or do they look at the violation even if there are no points. Also, about 2 years ago I got a ticket for speeding and i went to court and they dropped the points and declinded the fine a little. Im assuming this is on my record as well, but carried no points, would this effect rates as well""

How much will a small tooth chip cost without insurance?
I live in Southern California just so you can get an idea... Okay, last night I was watching a movie with my boyfriend and laying down in front of him.

The chip isn't big at all and it's on the front, left tooth on the outer corner. It's very small (almost unnoticeable if you're more than 2-3 feet away and he's smiling big) and it LOOKS as if it would be an easy fix. I have assured him that I will pay for it as he owns a barber shop and his presence is important to him and I feel very badly.

Question about car insurance?
I'm wondering something about car insurance. I am a 17 year old male, (turning 18 in 1 month) and have been driving a 2001 Hyundai accent since October. I am insured with esurance, and have liability only. I have a clean driving record. My monthly insurance is $197. I am on my parents policy. When I first called to get a quote, (cheapest company for me) it was around 120 a month, but then they got the VIN number and of course it went up because it knew exactly what car it was. Of course car insurance is very expensive for a male my age. My question is that I'm trying to save money to buy a jeep wrangler this summer. Will probably be a year 1997-2003. I want to know about how much it would cost to insure the jeep. I hear mixed responses about the cost to insure a wrangler, iv heard it's expensive because of the high theft rate and roll over chances. I know of course I don't know how much it will be exactly, considering I don't have a VIN number for the jeep wrangler. I get extremely expensive quotes when I search online, and the are all completely off. My parents policy has probably 4 or 5 cars on it and I am excluded off everyone's car. My sister has been in 2 wrecks and 2 speeding tickets, which I heard makes my insurance increase also. Anyone who has a general idea about cost for me to insure a jeep wrangler, thank you.""

Hey guys, I need some serious help! I bought a 2005 Mini Cooper convertible last year and have always been on my familys insurance but I was dropped and I need insurance ASAP. What can I expect to pay monthly? I want to put it in my name, but I have tickets and a DWI (still havent gone to court for, so idk if it makes a difference, yet...) and a suspended license so I bet my insurance would be ridiculous! My fiancee also has too many tickets to be a candidate. I'm thinking about using my 63 year old Godmother who's the original signer on the car because she doesn't have any tickets or accidents so I figured the full coverage would be cheap in her name. She's the one who signed for my car anyway. I'm the cosigner, but she's totally cool with putting the insurance in her name if it saves me money. So, four questions... 1) How much would insurance cost for me? 2) How much would insurance cost for my Godmother? 3) What's the cheapest insurance carrier? 4) What's the average for a full coverage sports car?

Can I be reimbursed auto insurance for the days my car was undrivable due to accident caused by someone else?
So there was a car accident and it was determined to be the other person's fault. My car was a mess (I wish they just totaled the thing) and is still in the shop, it's been 2.5 weeks. They're saying they can't reimburse the auto insurance because if something happened to the car during this time it's covered. But is that a bluff (I know they try to get out of stuff). if something happened to my car at a repair shop, and it's only there because of the accident that was determined to be the other party's fault, if something happened to my car, isn't the other insurance company liable? It never would've been there if it weren't for the accident. And if so, who do I go to? It obviously wasn't the guy I just talked to. I don't think this is unreasonable. It's not like I'm asking for the auto loan daily rate. Obviously I would still have to pay for that since it's toward ownership of the car. But the insurance makes sense to me - no?""

I asked the insurance company of the car hit me, they said their insured driver has no fault(indicated in accident report), so they cannot pay for me.

What is the normal procedure for a car accident without insurance?
3 weeks ago I hit a womans car in Sydney with my friends 4WD. I did not have any insurance on my side and now the woman's insurance wants me to pay for the damage. They gave me a call saying the damage was AU$ 5760 but if I would pay AU$ 2900 in the next 4 weeks that would be it for me. Now Insurance companies are not known to be humanitarian organisations so why would they let me get away with less money? I also talked to an Australian friend today who said the woman's insurance would have to give me three quotes on how much the repair of the car would be before they start doing anythin. Being a traveller I feel like the Insurance company tries to take advantage of my minimum knowledge of Insurance issues. So could someone please explain me the usual procedure for something like this?
Auto Insurance Is Prohibitively Expensive. What To Do?
I'm 23 years old. I rent a flat and have held a steady management job for 4 years. I don't drink or smoke. I am looking to purchase a 1993 Nissan Altima and I was looking for insurance. I was blown away when I got the quotes. Mind you, I live in Detroit and I understand that insurance is expensive, but this is ridiculous. Every quote I got was for at least $400 a month, liability only. Esurance was the most expensive at $582 a month. Allstate was the lowest at $396 a month. Any advice? I really need this car, but there is no way I can afford those insane rates.""

How to handle a partial month of health insurance?
I currently am paying for a family health insurance plan with Oxford. The premium is $800 a month, due on the first of the month for that month's coverage, with a grace period of about 30 days. I am switching from a contracting position (where I pay my own insurance) to an employment position (with a very nice health plan) on 9/7/10. What I want to avoid is paying $800 to my current insurance company when I only need 7 days worth of coverage. I also want to avoid a lapse in coverage. Do I not pay anything until the 7th, when my new insurance plan kicks in, and them call them and tell them I am cancelling and only want to pay from the 1st through 7th? Or do I pay the full $800 and hope I will get a pro-rated refund? Thanks in advance!""

Question about Car insurance (UK)?
Does anyone know if / how mileage for year is calculated for insurance purposes. What do the insurers check for these details? I have a private policy for my second car (my non work runaround) and it is limited to 3000miles per year. Perfect for trips to the dump, bulky or messy trips to the shops etc. I lend the car to my partners foreign parents who use their own insurance policy (cheaper for them) to drive it during their vacations to the UK 2-3 times a year adding quite a bit of mileage to the vehicle. If we both have insurance to be driving my car, am I at fault for claiming low mileage allowance for cheaper insurance for the car?""

""Is a motorcycle cheaper than a car in terms of maintenance, fuel and insurance?""
No matter what I get, my budget most likely will be $5000. But i'm talking about other costs like maintenance, fuel and insurance. I know fuel obviously is much less than a car for motorcycles, but how about maintenance and insurance? Basically i'm a highschool student, I'll be going to college next year, its a 50 km ride one way. Public transit would take me 2 hours...so If possible, i'd like to get a car or motorcycle. I already passed my first road test, but I don't have a motorcycle licence, but I'd like to. Infact the college i'm planning on attending does motorcycle courses and licencing. I'm thinking that If I do get a bike, i'd ride it for september- early november, store it for the winter, then spring till the end of the school year. Obviously I'd ride it during the summer too! I dunno, what do you experts think? You think its a good game plan or am I just in over my head? Which should I get?""
My job offers awful health insurance?
Our company got bought out & our new employer is doing open enrollment for health insurance next year. I currently have roughly a $75 monthly premium with a $500 deductible, then the employer pays 80%. The insurance I'm being offered has a $60 monthly premium, $100 deductible, then the insurer pays 80%, but only pays a max of $750 for the year. As it was explained to me, it is like partial health insurance-but I think this won't be enough to cover what I need. I had major surgery last month & even after meeting my deductible, the out of pocket expenses were a struggle. So should I get a HSA or apply for supplemental health insurance? The other employees at my company are in the same position as I am & I feel awful having to look elsewhere for better coverage. No spam please, I beg you!""

Why Are We Not Reducing Health Care Costs?
The U.S. currently spends 50% more per capita on health care than the next western nation (Norway). On average we spend twice as much as France, Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Canada, and Switzerland. Our costs are increasing faster than these nations. According to the Congressional Budget Office the cost of Obamacare is an additionsl $1.76 trillion over ten years. For those who want to actually solve the universal health care problem, how about adopting one of the European plans noted above and cut our costs by 50%.

Why did my lawyer tell the car insurance company to pay PIP directly to me when I asked to have my bill paid?
I spoke to my auto insurance company because my lawyer took two months to file my personal injury protection claim. Once, I took action into my own hands then I was assured that the woman handling my case from my car insurance company would see that my PIP paid for my medical expenses because I don't have health insurance. However, another month has passed and I have heard nothing from my lawyer about my case even though I call his office every week. So, today I received a letter in the mail from my lawyer office to my claim insurance person. It has her name on it but my address so I am not sure if it was intentionally sent that way or not. Yet, I read over it and it tells my insurance claim to pay the PIP directly to me and not to the medical company. What do I do about this? Has anyone gone through something similar and can you give me some helpful advice? I don't know if my lawyer is trying to add my PIP with the rest of the money that I will get so he can get a bigger chunk or if he is trying to get my PIP to me instead? I do know that I would like to pay for my medical bills as I am a college student in debt and don't want anymore hassle.""
