(Help ive already forgotten the emoji... the last one is the dialogue one)

Mood. I always forget the emojis for ask games and have to go back and forth between asking and actually looking at the questions (when I send someone an ask) XD

Share something soft/fluffy from your WIP

Ooooh-hoo-hooooooo okayokay, let’s see here…

~~~

“I want a goldfish.”

Wilbur blinks, snapped out of his reverie—or perhaps it was a disassociation, actually—as he pulls his eyes away from a very loud food vendor, and towards his brother.

Tommy stares up at him, looking both expectant and pretentious.

Wilbur blinks again. “What?”

“I said I want a goldfish.” Tommy says this bluntly, with hardly any emotion at all. He says it as plainly as someone making a comment about the weather, or someone asking a question about someone else’s cat.

Wilbur’s brow furrows. “What?”

Tommy sighs. “One of those little yellow guys. Or I guess they’re orange.” He goes quiet for a moment. “Yeah, they’re orange.”

“Tommy- what fish? Where-“

Tommy points forward, and Wilbur follows until his eyes reach a little carnival game (he can’t tell what exactly the point of it is). There’s rows of tiny goldfish, each one placed in a plastic bag filled with water, lining a shelf behind the game.

Wilbur nods slowly. “Oh. Those goldfish.”

“Yes, those goldfish. They’re right in front of you. Idiot.”

Wilbur narrows his eyes.

Tommy takes a deep breath, still gazing at the fish. “I want one, Wil.”

“Okay. I’m hungry; why don’t we go get a churro?”

“Willllll!”

Wilbur sighs loudly. “What?”

“I don’t want a churro! I want a goldfish.”

“Well, alright then. You can go and get one.”

“But I have to win to get one.”

“So?”

Tommy lowers his chin. “I don’t think I’m very good at winning carnival games.”

Wilbur sighs, this time more gently than before. He knows it’s true; Tommy can’t win a carnival game to save his life. It’s usually Wilbur who plays them—or takes over playing once it becomes clear that Tommy is hopeless.

“Okay.” Wilbur glances from Tommy to the rows of fish, pausing a moment before turning back. “Look, you can at least… try, can’t you? You can do that?”

Tommy dips his chin even lower. “I’m just gonna waste money.”

“But at least you’d try,” Wilbur replies, a bit exasperatedly. “It’s fine if you waste- it’s fine if you use a little money.”

“But Techno said that we should try to save as much as possible.” Tommy says this with wide eyes that look more fitting on a young child than a fifteen year old.

Wilbur scoffs. “Who cares what Techno thinks? We’re at a carnival, Tommy. We can use as much money as we want.”

“Oh. Really?”

“Yeah, man. Don’t worry about it.”

“Oh.” Tommy blinks at the ground, taking in this new information. Then he looks up, squinting. “But I still don’t think I’d win. And then I wouldn’t get my goldfish.”

“It’s not your goldfish if you don’t even have it yet.”

“Is too!” Tommy furrows his brow at this, standing up taller. “It’s my goldfish and her name is Clementine!”

“Wh… okay.” Wilbur looks away, placing his hands on his hips as he gives a quiet shake of his head. “Fine. Whatever. Your goldfish.”

“Clementine.”

“Your goldfish,” Wilbur repeats.

Tommy nods.

Share something funny/cracky from your WIP

Hehehehe, I very much enjoy writing humor >:)

~~~

Tommy stares right back at him. "Your hair looks stupid."

Wilbur scowls, using his hands to muss up his hair, which is springing out in every direction. "Shut up."

Tommy huffs. Wilbur was right, though; the sun really is shining, streaming through the window and making everything look all bright and yellow. It hurts a little bit to look at, but Tommy likes it anyway. It's a lot better than storm clouds. Those just suck. And they piss.

"Hey Wilbur, do you ever think about how storm clouds, just... piss? Like, that's all they do?"

"No."

Tommy furrows his brow. "Well then you're not a critical thinker."

"What the heck does that mean, Tommy," Wilbur sighs, digging through the drawer in the nightstand.

Tommy shrugs. "I don't know. You should- you should ask the storm clouds."

He says the last part in a laugh, and Wilbur's mouth twitches. "Just get ready, Tommy."

Share your favorite piece of dialogue from your WIP

OOOOOH! Hmm.......

~~~

"Wil?"

Wilbur starts, pulling his hands away and casting bleary ears on his father, standing in front of him. Phil looks worried. "You okay, mate?"

"I-" Wilbur closes his mouth, then opens it, shaking his head. "I don't-"

"You look pale. You- you're hungry, aren't you?"

"Yes." Sometimes Wilbur hates the things that come out of his mouth.

"Well, here you go. Another bowl of soup." Phil sets a bowl onto the table, a plain wooden one. One that won't break.

Wilbur swallows.

"I can get you some crackers if you want," Phil continues. "Or a glass of- actually, you need some water. Wait one second."

Phil leaves without another word, folded wings casting shadows as he walks. Wilbur looks down at the wooden bowl, filled with soup. Carrot, potato, broth. It smells delicious. Absolutely wonderful.

Wilbur looks away.

"Here you go," Phil chirps, walking back in with a cup of water in his hand, which he sets down next to the bowl, sliding them both towards Wilbur's seat. "I've already eaten, but I'll keep you company if you want me to. Even... Wil?"

Wilbur chews on his lip, looking away from the soup, away from the table, away from Phil. He feels sick. He's so hungry. He feels sick.

"Wilbur? Is everything okay? I can leave if you want; I don't have to stay." A pause. "Mate?"

"I'm not hungry anymore," Wilbur strains, pushing the bowl of soup away.

"Wh... that doesn't... you were just hungry, Wil."

"I- I don't... want it."

Phil blinks. "Yes you freaking do."

"Phil, please, just-!" Wilbur turns, slamming his fist onto the table and making himself jump with the loudness of it. "I don't- I don't really need... I don't-"

"This isn't because you broke the bowl, is it?"

Wilbur presses his lips together.

Phil sighs. "Wilbur, listen: I don't give a crap about that bowl. Okay? I really don't. When I heard glass shattering, the only thing that crossed my mind was whether you'd gotten hurt or not. I could not care less about a stupid piece of dish-ware, alright?"

A moment passes without any words spoken.

Phil leans closer. "You believe me, right?"

"I don't- I don't know." Wilbur puts his elbows back on the table, setting his chin on his hands. "I'm just so sorry, Phil."

"It's okay."

"I'm so sorry I broke it."

"It's o- hey, stop beating yourself up about this, okay? I don't freaking care."

"I know, I know, I'm just- I'm still so... I'm so..." Wilbur's chest heaves as he stutters in a breath, shaking his head back and forth. He looks at the bowl of soup, steam no longer rising from its surface. Cold. It's cold now, lying abandoned on the table. Then he looks at Phil; the hybrid is leaning forward, brow furrowed and eyes filled with concern. A strand of blond hair drifts in front of his face. Phil doesn't swipe it away.

Wilbur begins to smile, which horrifies him only a little. "I feel sick. And it's because of a bowl of soup."

"Sick? Is-is-is your- here, let me feel-"

"Not that kind of sick." Wilbur lets out a chuckle, humorless and cold. Phil freezes, halfway between rising out of his chair. "It's a different kind, Phil. Gosh, I feel so terrible. I'm so-"

Wilbur's breath hitches. His smile falls off his face as suddenly as it had appeared. "I'm so broken."

Phil sits back down, slowly. "Hey. Wil. Look at me."

"I'm so broken," Wilbur repeats, staring at the table as he shakes his head, hands pressed against his cheeks. "I'm so broken, Phil. I can't- I break a dish and almost have a panic attack. That's not- normal, Phil. I don't- I don't-"

"Hey, hey. Calm down. You're okay."

"I'm not okay! Don't you hear me?" Wilbur pulls his hands away, resting his palms on the table as he makes eye contact with his father. Phil gazes at him evenly, expression carefully controlled. Wilbur breathes in roughly. "I'm broken. I'm just like the bowl, I-I-I fell apart, and now I'm just scattered pieces, and they're too small to be put back together. Don't you... I'm broken, Phil. And I don't- I don't want to be, I don't..."

Wilbur shuts his eyes tight. "I don't want to be broken. I really don't want to be broken, but I am, and I don't... want to, Phil."

[ what made you choose this muse? what are your favorite RP tropes to play? did you have a muse you tried to play, but didn’t feel connected to? ]

- what made you choose this muse?

Honestly speaking? I’m still trying to angle as to why Thoma wound up my immediate pick up. Not to say he doesn’t lack mischief factor, but he’s one of the few out of the delinquent genre of muses I’m normally known for playing. And by no means is that a bad thing? It’s just when I look for my actual reasoning for it?

I guess it’s moreso how he balances a caring nature in tandem with the aspects of self improvement. Thoma is one of those characters who gives me the ideal image of someone who plays the Backbone of a group or the personal sect of people in his life. I in turn found myself tuning in to that, how he comes to see the Genshin world and the angles for what he fights and how he fights.

Translate that into the modern days and now I find him my primary stickler in this world. He’s someone who feels more free form compared to sticking in a particular niche for me. He can come to travel, play the long game of staying in Inazuma, to ultimately winding up in situations that I haven’t even perceived yet. On top of him being a muse that enjoys extending a positive influence and stepping towards that sense of reinforcement, it’s also no dunk on my mood when I get extensive with them.

He has his hard times, yes, but what I admire is how he feels like the type to actively search for ways to improve say vs being set to wallow in the situation. It’s just not the type of person he is at large I feel like.

Even then, those struggles could be flipped in a personal path of adventure to find out new things about Thoma.

- what are your favorite RP tropes to play?

Action/Adventure remains at the top.

Character developments, whether made through a solo venture or the joint work of muses is a second.

Romance/Intimacy/Smut would be the third on this last. Tbh it helps me get really creative with my words and descriptive taste.

Cracky/Silly hangouts takes the forth. This speaks for itself, I love having me some fun like that, but I also like to balance that with writing out longer content too. I love the whole story weaving premise.

Those would be along my top! While Angst in itself I enjoy periodically, I tend to be careful in the angle of making it oversaturated. It always feels like I hit a stagnant root if I dip too much into it, and in turn, I wind up losing some of my creative flare if I’m not careful. At the same time though, balancing it with a developmental plot that has to make my muse create some moves to take I’d love to do, to establish a clear fight through that sort of pain.

- did you have a muse you tried to play, but didn’t feel connected to?

I have a couple of those in the testing bucket. From what I noticed, I tend to gravitate to a particular line of personality type in my muses and make the magic happening of flourishing them out from there. There’s muses (like Thoma here) I love showing on, then on another hand there’s muses that wind up becoming learning experiences about them more than anything else.

It was never a form of experience I branched out to do willingly. Usually when I play muses I have no connection too, it’s at the request of friends who’d enjoy a certain muse, which in that note I never mind RP’ing out if it makes them happy. Getting a perspective switch in that particular character lens can be pretty fun through for the short term, it gets me set up to paint a whole different picture with words.

The one were little Madara is shy

A cracky short fic about Tobirama and Madara’s sex life. The story is based on true events. Yes, five hours, I didn’t think it was possible either.

Also, don’t be fooled by the title, it’s absolutely about two adults.

Content warnings: Somewhat explicit sex?

Fic under the line, enjoy!

Five hours.

It had been almost five hours since they had begun. He had prepared for a long session, but this was excessive. This could not even be considered edging, it was straight out torture, and not even in the sensual way, but in the way corralling his brother into paperwork was torture. There had even been two hydration breaks and at some point Tobirama started reading the scroll about Suna’s farming techniques he had left last night at his bedside. At that Madara had halted altogether complaining about ‘ruining the mood’. Tobirama had to remind himself then that they were at peace with the Uchiha and killing the clan head would make having healed Izuna a null effort.

Since the start of their liaison two months ago, they had had sex twice, and twice had Madara not reach orgasm. Such thing would offend anyone’s pride, even worse for someone of Tobirama’s character. Madara had even used the tactful line ‘it’s me, not you’ to appease him, which didn’t actually help as much as he hoped it would. That is why when Tobirama had finally gotten his work in some semblance of order, at least enough to get a single free day, he went straight to Madara. And the bastard had the gall to tell him he was busy! The argument didn’t hold for long though, not in the face of all the filthy propositions Tobirama presented him with. "The elders can wait, I guess" Madara had said finally, a little strangled and completely red-faced.

And it seemed, if Tobirama was judging Madara’s stuttering rhythm and ugly expression correctly, they were reaching the grand finale. Fucking finally.

"Come on, fuck, come on, I want you to come inside me" Tobirama gritted out as encouragingly as he could without gagging. Anything to put an end to this, he thought. The worst part of it all was that he had decided—in a clear lapse of judgement brought by pride—to not peak until the Uchiha did too. So, his dick was completely untouched while the stimulation on his prostate had become unbearable. He wondered, idly, if there was really anyone who could come just from prostate stimulation and decided to investigate it later in the week.

"Shit-fuck-I’m-" Madara’s voice was hoarse, deep with lust, "touch yourself, touch-" he blurted out quickly while he fucked Tobirama harder.

Tobirama took his cock in hand and started stroking fast, a flush of pleasure rushed through his whole body, nerves singing and mind going blank. They came almost at the same time, Tobirama’s body melting whilst Madara pushed deeply into him. The sound Madara made was akin a hurt bear and it reverberated in Tobirama’s bones.

The grand Uchiha dropped himself on top of his partner without any consideration, who, exhausted as he was, allowed it without much more than a grunt. They were both breathing hard, hearts pounding furiously, sweaty bodies quickly turning cold. After a few minutes Tobirama could finally put a sentence together, "Anija wasn’t joking about your dick’s performance issues."

"Shut up!" Madara shouted—entirely too loudly—and bit him for the comment.

Convo from the 18+ discord about a very silly star wars crossover I wanted to share.

gremgeous the gem pillar Just had a GREAT idea for a star wars crossover Just dipper visiting the star wars universe for whatever reason (multiverse vacation maybe? Idk. Dipper maybe dusted off that old portal in a fit of nostalgia or smth) and palpatine finds him and tries to tempt alcor to his side by offering him power Standard stuff for the sith really Except Well If you offer a demon unspecified power, in what form are they going to take it if not in the one who is offering's soul? Biggest and best tasting power boost there is, really! And then maybe he takes over the empty shell of a body afterwards which may or may not grant him force acess and alcor has a grand old time making a mess out of running the republic (or at least running lose in the senate) This is like... early prequals or pre-preauals era maybe. When palpafucker is still undercover and being all covert and unsuspicious and stuff I call this.... "palpatines penechance for grand speeches and unspecific ominous statements to try and seem all powerful and cool and dramatic fuck him over" Or in shorter terms ... . "There's a demon lose in the senate" And it basically runs like that one john mullaney bit With a side dashing of that one journak 3 thing where bill posesses a guy, messes with a roman army and then makes a guys head explode Also like nobody knows who alcor is or that hes even there bc theres no demons or dream demons in star wars (that i know of) so he gets the run of the place Even moreso than back home in gravity falls bc no one knows magic, its all "force this" and "force that" Dippered probably spends a lot of time nerding out over the different alien species since they dont have those back in his dimension (theyve got aliens but theyre different kinds) and also about the laser swords (just like the one Grunkle Ford made for them all (Ford, Dipper, Mabel, Stan, Soos, Grenda, Candy, Grendas boyfriend, Pacifica, and even waddles and gompers) back in 2017! Good times, good times.)

swbeeworm oh this sounds like fun

gremgeous the gem pillar Right???

swbeeworm if i was familiar enough with the star wars universe to write anything in it i'd give this a shot

gremgeous the gem pillar right???

swbeeworm like i know star wars?? but i don't know star wars n i have to know something to be confident in writing it

gremgeous the gem pillar Sadly everything i know comes from time travel fixit and semi-salty pro-jedi meta

swbeeworm but just.... the sheer chaotic potential of this...

gremgeous the gem pillar Gosh yes....... Oh its be so good..........

swbeeworm oh mood it would be

gremgeous the gem pillar @Abigor u like star wars too gimme ur thooooughts When ur awake and have them to give

swbeeworm ugh i should. probably not be awake, i have stuff to do tomorrow n i have a headache but this is fun to think about

gremgeous the gem pillar I had another thing thats fun to think abt too Clone wars era, alcors there and everyon thinks hes a brand new sith player b/c gold eyes

swbeeworm just the shenanigans. the bullshittery. the sheer what-le-fuck reactions of everyone from the senate to the jedi to the people ooooooooo

gremgeous the gem pillar YES!!! Exactly.

gremgeous the gem pillar Oooooh jedi can do mind things i wonder what alcor wpuld feel like to them

swbeeworm my first instinctive responses were: 1) constant Screaming and a whirlwind mishmash of colors/concepts/etc that makes everyone who 'looks' too long start bleeding thru the nose/eyes 2) wii music on loop and these are VERY different prompts to have back to back but that's what i got

gremgeous the gem pillar AKDHSGGSHD I LOVE IT Oh what if its both at the same time Ajdhegdhdj what rven is the music like in star wars anyway

swbeeworm the fkin,,,, cantina music

gremgeous the gem pillar Like how would they react when confronted w wii music

swbeeworm is the equivalent i would think

gremgeous the gem pillar Do they even have the same sorts of instruments do they even know what electronic music is

swbeeworm just. that spawned another Thought imagine that the cantina music from That One Scene is the sw-equivalent of the wii music and just. just imagine that same scene playing but with wii music on loop in the background

gremgeous the gem pillar Gosh "wii music on loop" i love it AODHDHSHSJD

swbeeworm it would probably FIT they have the same vibe

gremgeous the gem pillar Im crying Mits so good

swbeeworm sdjlksdafj i saw a post the other day that was talking abt the music there n how it kept playing on loop n the poster joked that it might have been like,, the john mulaney salt-pepper-diner-story situation which is only tangentially related to this topic but i had to recall it

gremgeous the gem pillar AJSHH i love that Gosh ok i feel like take 1 would fit with the new sith in town scenario And take 2 fits with theres a demon lose in the senate

swbeeworm sfsdkfjh yES

gremgeous the gem pillar But how FUCKING HILARIOUS would it be if in the senate story its the former, and in the oh so serious sith story its the wii music on loop im akdhsjdvsjdhsjbd

swbeeworm ASLDJSLKFJ plEASE take 1: gritty, serious, angst, deadly miscommunications--and fucking wii music on loop take 2: lighthearted, cracky, shenanigans and bullshittery--and fucking bleeding out the eyes if you try n read the guy talk about dissonance

gremgeous the gem pillar "Big scary sith! Look at the yellow eyes! What dastardly plots cpuld he be thinking/partaking in....." [Hard cut to alcor pov/inside alcors head] wii music plays as he stares off into space during a supposedly very important meeting

gremgeous the gem pillar OH I DO LOVE THE DISSONANCE Gsjdgysgsvsjgd wheeze its so good i love it

swbeeworm me tooooo .....for the sith one. would ppl see blue fire n think lightning

gremgeous the gem pillar Theyd probably think its some other secret sith technique

swbeeworm fair enough

gremgeous the gem pillar Everyone thinks one of the other sith lines that was supposedly wiped out had it since this sith deffs aint the line of bane- even the cirrent sith wanna know where alcors popped in from "Lightning was the bane line specialty.... guess where ever this kids guys from fire was theirs"

swbeeworm= adjlsdfkjlfkjf the shenanigans n bullshittery one imagine alcor-as-palpatine just. going incorporeal, still visible but not able to be touched, and the jedi go from "what the fuck is going on" to "why the fuck is he a force ghost"

gremgeous the gem pillar AJSGSHSGSHSA

swbeeworm alcor, who'd done it only bc his ~ornate robes~ had got so caught/tangled on something he could only get free by phasing through it: ??????

gremgeous the gem pillar wheeze Alcor: how the fuck did this guy move around in these AJDHSGDH ALCOR NOT KNOWING ABOUT THE SITH- SHOWS UP TO THE SENATE IN THE SITH ROBES

swbeeworm asdlkjsfkjsdfdf

gremgeous the gem pillar CALLS IT A "FASHION STATEMENT" WHEN CALLED OUT ON IT

swbeeworm a fASHION STATEMENT YES alcor: :blobsweats: alcor: what the FUCK is a sith alcor: and why do they have better style than the jedi

gremgeous the gem pillar WHEEZE He doesnt know jack shit abt the jedi or anything hes just vibing!!!!!!

swbeeworm yesssssss

gremgeous the gem pillar AJDGSGGDJS YOU KNOW WHATVWPUKD BE EVEN BETTER ALCOR THINKS THE SITH LOOK IS TACKY AF

swbeeworm alcor: no listen. listen. i picked these space robes out of my space wardrobe because they looked cool, not because i'm part of some. some space cult ljflskdajfslkdfjsd

gremgeous the gem pillar BUT HE STILL THINKS ITS BETTER THAN THE JEDI

swbeeworm that's even better

gremgeous the gem pillar space cult im HOWLING

swbeeworm you KNOW he'd be so excited at being in space this DORK

gremgeous the gem pillar Ph gosh imagine it starts out all dark and serious and angsty and creepy in the whole beginning exchange But as soon as the day after alcor takes up palps role hits it takes a sharp turn into crack terriotry

gremgeous the gem pillar OH HE WOULD

swbeeworm yESSSS

gremgeous the gem pillar Alcor takes one look at dooku and is like "youre the only one aroynd here with any sort of fashion sense" "And its HORRIBLE"

swbeeworm sljflskdjfsd

gremgeous the gem pillar Just roasts him And by extension everyone else too

swbeeworm dooku has NO IDEA what's going on but at this point ""palpatine"" or whatever's taken over him is ten minutes into a rant abt the layers on layers of boring robes jedi wear and at this point he'll take the backhanded compliment about his own style

gremgeous the gem pillar Akehdsjfssksgsjd

swbeeworm just to shut him up

gremgeous the gem pillar AKDHDJDGDJDHD Alco goes on a 30 minute rant on why suits are SO much more professional

swbeeworm snaps "palpatine" into a suit and goes "...except maybe for this guy idk if anything could make him look good"

gremgeous the gem pillar And its more of a backhanded insukt than a backhanded compliment but anything to shut the guy up, right?

swbeeworm how much we roasting palpatine here

gremgeous the gem pillar To a blackened crisp

swbeeworm as it should be

gremgeous the gem pillar Its better than his wrinkly old rasin look anyday

swbeeworm lskjdlsakjfdf agreed

gremgeous the gem pillar Be hard NOT to improve on that honestly But the dude sinks so low i bet hed somehow manage it

swbeeworm --alcor getting fed up w palpatine's body and just. showing up to the senate meetings, full alcor, eyes n his normal face n everything, in palpatine's robes, and when someone rightfully asks him who the hell is he, he just deadpans "i'd think by this point you'd recognize your own chancellor" and just straight insists he's palpatine (and has the knowledge to back it up) every time someone sputters

gremgeous the gem pillar Also i included the bit abt the journal 3 thing bc my saga of alcor repeating bill's patterns, behaviors, and ideas unknowlingly and without awareness that that is what he is doing shall continue >:3c

gremgeous the gem pillar AODHAJDBAKWJHEVEJDJDHSHSHSJWOWKJEHEE I LOVE IT OH HOW I LOVE OT ALSOWHSKJDISOSOAJAIW Oh gosh what if he fuckin

swbeeworm because at this point it's less about blending in and more about trolling the whole senate and being as distracting as possible because with everyone paying attention to his trolling theyre less likely to notice the bills for clone rights n abolishing slavery n such that he's pushing thru in the background misdirection at its finest

gremgeous the gem pillar I was gonna say a thing abt alcor replacing palps b4 the election and so they did elect alcor to chancelorhoood But it might be funnier if he took him over AFTER abd still says that bit abt recognizing their own chancellor Oh gosh in that secind scenario it would be hilarious if the jedi are all :blobglare: @alcor except for obi-wan who is all like "i am looking away" bc at least THIS guy (whiever the hell he is) has stopped being such a creep abt anakin

swbeeworm the jedi are sent in to figure out wtf is going on and. they, unfortunately, bewilderingly, confirm that this is the same person as the chancellor who'd been showing up recently??? same wii music/bleeding effect??

swbeeworm alcor, finding appointments with some random jedi kid on palpatine's calendar: wtf why is this creep trying to meet with a kid alone, yeah how about i cancel that

gremgeous the gem pillar AKDJDJD Alcor, looking at palpatibes planner: "every day i am more and more glad that i ate thig guys soul" "Like i knew it was oily but im suprised i havent got an upset stomach from it yet"

swbeeworm sjlskdfjsdf alcor the next day, after finding stuff abt the order 66 chip things, gagging: "i spoke too soon"

gremgeous the gem pillar Obi-wan to the council: hmm? Yes this is totally the chancellor, i know this because of all the previous meetings and close relationship he has had with my padawan which you allowed and helped facillitate- "Palpatine":[has a completley different body type, height, and face. Plus he actually has hair and is maybe even floating a little but its hard to be sure in those black and gold robes- and with a completely different voice] oh, yeah, totally, Im the chancellor and i totally know who this guy and that kid is yup yup yup-

gremgeous the gem pillar [UGLY LAUGHTER] AkdjskkdkdjsysAODJSJEUEIEIIEF

swbeeworm ASDKAFDF "palpatine": [grins with very sharp teeth at a nervous senator] council: "okay that is NOT normal" obi-wan, deadpan: "i'm sorry, it sounds like you're discriminating against non-human beings? that's not very jedi of you now is it"

gremgeous the gem pillar ALDHDJDHD Wait wait no what if its "This is completely normal behavior. I, as a human, know this for certain" "I can do this too, but i dont, because it is impolite, but hes the chancellor he can do whatever he wants"

swbeeworm asldksajflksdfjsdf;jsdf yes yes beautiful

gremgeous the gem pillar Alcor and obi-wan team up to be passive agressive at everyone who allowed palps and anakin to hang out ABOUT them letting an unsupervised minor chill w a suoer duper old guy Shoulda had a chaperone at LEAST Butalso

swbeeworm the other humans on the council: "uh, actually-" obi-wan: [manages to sip tea (which he shouldn't even have access to in a council meeting btw) with an aggressively polite smile and silent Threat] the other humans: "....um."

gremgeous the gem pillar "Thats not very jedi of you now is it" AODHSJSIDHALSVD IM HOWLING I LOVE IT THE SASS wheeze*

swbeeworm i live for obi-wan sass it gives me LIFE

gremgeous the gem pillar SAME oh its so good Love that one post where obj-wan is on tatooine and calls all the force ghosts to view his powperpoint presentation about how letting palps have acess to analin was a bad idea as hed been saying all along-

swbeeworm u need to know i wrote this with the "that's not very plus ultra of you" meme, which is a bnha offshoot of the "that's not very cash money of you" meme, in my head on repeat

gremgeous the gem pillar Ph him terrorizing all the people palpatine had in his pocket...... Ok this is veering into even MORE crack territory but at some poibt alcor replaces, uh, whats the dudes name, palps second in command - mess something-or-other? - with a nightmare Not just ANY nightmare But a DIFFERENT nightmare each day

swbeeworm ASDLSDFKLDJF PLEASE

gremgeous the gem pillar They took it upon themselves to go on rotation They couldn't decide who should go when alcor proposed the idea so its everyone One at a time They dont even look REMOTELY human Or like anything the galaxy has ever known or seen And theres no "secretive supernatural species" excuse for them to fall back on here lmao

swbeeworm random dude: "what is that???" alcor, cheerful: "that's my assistant" rd: "is that--is that supposed to be a sheep?" alcor: "no they're my assistant" nightmare: [sound that, if you ignore the reverb and microphone-screeching and kazoo effects, might be a "baaa"] alcor: [smiles aggressively wider with sharp teeth] rd: [sweats nervously]

gremgeous the gem pillar ALDJDKSIEJEHAJWJWHEI Obi-wan: i am still l :eyes:king away Anakin: oooh, the wool is so soft master. Come feel it! Obi-wan: really? Ooh youre right The council: ....

swbeeworm rd: "okay but this is a DIFFERENT one than yesterday right?? right???" alcor: "i have absolutely no idea what you're talking about :)" obi-wan, still with tea he should not have, this time with space whiskey mixed in: "sir i think you might be seeing things, they are clearly the same individual as yesterday"

gremgeous the gem pillar Mace: ...hrm it is quite soft- The rest of the council: ??? When did he get-

gremgeous the gem pillar AKDJDJDHDHD JUST LYING THROUGH HIS TEETH ALDJDHFJF

swbeeworm obi-wan looking mace dead in the eye and chugging his spiked tea which is more whiskey than tea at this point: "how dare you accuse me of lying. me, after everything i've done for this council. i am betrayed. heartbroken. never shall trust again. i am leaving until i recover" -and promptly fucks off on a vacation with anakin

gremgeous the gem pillar The jedi start getting a LOT more missions about busting slave rings and giving aid in the outer rim - plus some more dimplomacy docused ones in regards to solving teeaties instead of putting down rebellions

-alcor shows up on the vacation with zero explanation and obi-wan at this point is like "fuck it why not" -a nightmare takes his place in palpatine's robes in the senate for the week they're gone

gremgeous the gem pillar ALSJSHDJDJSKDHEE Weirdly enough some of the more corrupt senators go missing after that week No one knows what hapoebed to them but the robes the "chancellor" wore that week have some awfully suspicious stains WAIT WAIT WHAT IF ITS NOT A NIGHTMARE WHAT IF ITS GOMPERS alcor didn't even ASK gompers to be there he was planning to not even warn anyone n just vanish but gompers just SHOWED UP the nightmares were the ones who put the robes on him

gremgeous the gem pillar Alcor doesn't even KNOW gomoers is there He gets back after the week and is like "what the heck" The nightmares are pretty proud of themselves for that one

swbeeworm the nightmares, collectively: "this is gonna be HILARIOUS" alcor, halfway across the galaxy, sees a newsfeed of a senate meeting with gompers in the robes in his place, and spits his drink clear across the room

he's only mad because he didn't think of it in the first place

gremgeous the gem pillar wheeze Hes proud of them

swbeeworm he IS

gremgeous the gem pillar Its so HILARIOUS

swbeeworm i pity anyone trying to read this mess later but i hope we at least make them laugh once

gremgeous the gem pillar Same Its such a joy Alcor teaches anakin the secret to mabel juice

swbeeworm oh no

gremgeous the gem pillar Only the children thank him The minders.... not so much

swbeeworm alcor: "okay so what i'm hearing is, the adult jedi have been making Stupid Decisions and not paying as much attention to the kids, as evidenced by them letting that one kid have meetings one on one with the creepy older guy i stopped putting effort into impersonating a month ago. so, clearly what needs to happen is something that forces the adults to pay attention to the kids and start keeping a closer eye on them, but it can't be something that actually hurts the kids because then i'd feel bad" alcor: "...." alcor: :blobamused:

gremgeous the gem pillar akdhdjsgshsjhdsjdjdj

swbeeworm alcor in a totally not suspicious trench coat and sunglasses: "hey. hey, kid. you wanna try some mabel juice?"

gremgeous the gem pillar AKDJDJDJDLFKFIFJIF WHEEZE "With the creepy older guy i stopped putting effort into impersonating a month ago" ALDJDBDJDJDDHDHDJDJDJDJDJDJDJSJDJEJEJE

gremgeous the gem pillar AKSJSHDJDJF

swbeeworm star wars kids: "mr chancellor why are you wearing that" alcor: "because i think it's funny" kids: "it isn't" alcor: "look do you want the juice or not"

gremgeous the gem pillar I LOVE ALL OF THAT LOOK DO YOU WANT THE JUICE OR NOT

swbeeworm i am having WAY too much fun with this ldjsldkfjdsf;

gremgeous the gem pillar "Were not supposed to take drugs from strangersl" "Its not- just take it!"

Hooooh man thats so funny Oh gosh Alcor uses a different time/date system

Than the star wars one

swbeeworm ooooooo yes

gremgeous the gem pillar Nit super sure where im going with this but.... Pretty sure he woukdnt know the star wars one At all Maybe the in-umuverse knockoff calendar maybe Hes wnough of a nerd to have that memorized But the star wars proper one

No, no i dont think he knows that one

swbeeworm nope no chance

gremgeous the gem pillar Omg yes

gremgeous the gem pillar Well its a good thing we have this..... and the mistaken sith version too :blobamused:

WAIT WAIT QAIT FLASH OF INSPIRATION ALCOR GIVING ANAKIN THE STRANGER DANGER PPT

swbeeworm i have 1 scene i can think of that actually almost made my friend cry and i have 1 au scene of a different au of mine where a character who canonically dies and gets brought back to life...doesn't come back (which is extra angst bc this is a Ghost Seeing Fic) and both of these i wrote at like 3-4am

swbeeworm SDFJKSDLFSJf YES :blobamused:

gremgeous the gem pillar Alcor: "you know, i usually save this one for the kids who followed the stranger with the nice candy into the alleyway and end up as sacrifices but I feel like you could benefit from it too"

swbeeworm alcor: "no talking to suspicious ppl" anakin: "except you right?" alcor: "....in any other situation i'd say no but if i say that you're just gonna up and leave (i see that grin thanks very much) so in this one singular personal case it is fine that you trust my very suspicious self"

gremgeous the gem pillar AKSJSJDJJD "My very suspicious self" Aksjdhdd

swbeeworm obi-wan, straight up knocking back shots now: "the man has a point anakin"

gremgeous the gem pillar Haha nice Obi-wan is taking notes Hes also re-inventing alcoholic mabel juice He weaseled the recipie out of the kids

swbeeworm asldfkjsdlkfjd imagine if somehow SIDIOUS CAME BACK and tries to take back over the senate but everyone at this point is used to alcor and one of two things happens: 1) they assume this is alcor messing with them with a clone/double (they don't know how he'd do it but at this point given his "assistants", the goat that somehow made more eloquent speeches than the "human", and the other things involved, they wouldn't put it past him) and just ignore him 2) they look between the real palpatine who'd been pushing thru some very sketchy bills, and between alcor who's been sneaking through law after law protecting all kinds of sentients, and they turn back to palpatine and go "how dare you impersonate the chancellor" and kick him out

swbeeworm at this point he deserves it tbh

gremgeous the gem pillar AKDJDJDHFDJDJDJD Ok i preffer him dead and gone and forgotten in favor of alcor (its what he deserves) but oh those are hilarious

swbeeworm agreed to both counts alsdjalsdk

gremgeous the gem pillar ESPECIALLY if the senate chooses to keep alcor over palps XD Ph man we can work that into him being dead and gone too- alcor starts dispersing the power and the other half of the senate w bail and padme are like "yeah seems legit" along w obi-wan The jedi only put like, a token effort into investigating and are more put out by trying to figure out what happened to the real palpatine and all his past shady dealings than exposing the current "palpatine" for a fake

swbeeworm palpatine: "excuse me?? i am the chancellor of this republic" councilmembers, with the same deadpan as alcor's been pulling on them all year: "sir, i think you're confused. this is the chancellor" [points to alcor, in palpatine's robes from his closet, making no attempt to hide his lack of resemblance to palpatine, with a nightmare at his side wearing a small top hat that proclaims its position as "chancellor's assistant"] palpatine: [screams of frustration]

gremgeous the gem pillar Once they reaize the shift in mission assignments can be attributed to new palp

gremgeous the gem pillar AKDJDJDJSJSJSBEJSJSJSHSJSKS

swbeeworm yesss this

gremgeous the gem pillar I wanna say maul gets the joy and pleasure of offibg palpatine the second time in that version

swbeeworm FINALLY they get a chance to pull one back over on someone, pass along the suffering a little bit

swbeeworm oh definitely

oh shit we've been at this for an hour

gremgeous the gem pillar Maul comes back and offs palps and evrryone is jist like "Maul!!! How?!?" And completley ignore the palpatibe corpse 2.0 Ajdhhd so we have Niiiight book

Also from a tumblr post the phrase "your pal friendpatine" is hilarious and i think yall shoukd enjoy it too As is "SOMEHOW... MAUL RETURNS" Both taken from the same post lol Okokok so switchibg tracks for a bit Revisiting Some groundwork for the mistaken sith version Alcor is there..... because al-v was there first, made friends with the droid army mid clone war, and caled his dad in to help Which puts alcors initial point of contact as the separost foot soldiers

gremgeous the gem pillar No matter what the dominant language alcor has most recently been using OH OH OH ALCOR WITH ACESS TO OTHER UNIVERSE SLANG CONFUSING ALL THE SENATE WITH HIS NONSENSICAL PHRASES AND IDIOMS AND SLANG/PROFANITY LIKE "over the moon" AND "hot belgian waffles" AND "fuck" "Palpatine": [drops paperwork he JUST spent so much time disorganizing (as in putting in a dissaray)] FUCK Senator: .... sir, what is a 'fuck' "Palpatine": ......... im not explaining that to you Or conversley he makes smth up Alcor, upon realizing the most common swear word is "kriff': yeaht hats stupid im not saying that Alcor mercilessly roasting the star wars profanity And how stupid they all sound. This one is great for the al-v and alcor make friend w a droid army and maybe-sorta steal them while massivelt confusing and mystifying everyone along the way, bc why not add a language barrier on top of all the other assumptions and misunderstandings >:D But also at the same time it would make sense for him to have got thw local language in an infodump somewhere along the line (maybe an older version) if its located in a different galaxy but the same universe........... but also what if theyre just suoer far away so he didnt get priority acess...... or even if he traveled back in time ............. [Shrug] idk Mwanwhile inexplicably having the same language is hilarious in the demon lose in the senate ons but also imagine alcor pretending to be palpatine while unable to speak the common tongue lolol I know it wouldnt work (he has to be able to understand palpatine on some level to take MASSIVE advantage of him and eat his soul) but it is hilarious to think abt the shenanigans............ OH GOSH ALCOR TAKING CONTROL OF THE SENAT BUT BEING UNABLE TO R E A D AKDBSKSKJFF Okokok Imagine the basic/english language inexplicably being the same structure w a few different words and concepts...... when spoken And completley different when written down SO ALCOR CAN SPEAK BUT HE CANT READ Meanwhile in mistaken for a sith land alcor either doesnt have any knowledge of the local language or else gets a SUPER OLD AND POSSIBLE DEAD LANGUAGE in an infodump (to help feed the misunderstandings and rumors and future clashes w the sith and the jedi hehhehheh) bc semi-omniscience is not total omniscience and so is not everything and, once again, is not very helpful But ill leave off for tonight on the thought of alcor, lose in the senate, in the seat of the chancellor, lord of all paperwork for the galactic republic....... and able to read NONE of it And barely understands it too (demons are not ones for politics, Brian the Organ Duck and his 200 year sucessful presidency run aside) (his is soemthing of the exception, not the rule.) Meanwhile all those humanitarian aid bills and the like are all being passed by bail and padmes group all over the place bc their strange and inexplicable source of resistance was devoured like, a week ago Not ones to look a gift horse in ths mouth until AFTER they get what they want the group passes a ton of bills without delay - and manages to break up a few monopolies along the way Now im not saying that "palpatine" suddenly acting off and the bills facing a lot less resistance is a noticeable coincidence...... and around the same time he stops asking after anakin ............... but im totally saying they notice it and realize its probably, absolutely, not a coincidence and theyre not going to say anything bc they like this new "palpatine" better. Despite all the other mindbending weirdness and mindfuckery going on there The jedi are only mad abt alcor bc a few of their own started bleeding from the eyes nose and ears when they tried to investigate initially so theyre a little ticked off abt that, which, fair.

Also the blantant lying and lack of trying on alcors part is a little insulting to them as a whole ("does he think we'll really fall for that") and is slightly concerning to them ("who the heck is this, someone is inpersonating the chancellor of the ENTIRE REPUBLIC-" Which is, admittedly, a little concern worthy) but if the council is honest (or some of the council anyway) with themselves its pretty much the darn best entertainmnt theyve had in a good long while, headaches aside, sot ehyll focus more on the okd palpatines dissapernace and dealings than the new "palpatine" so long as he doesnt start doing anything ACTIVELY damaging to the republic. A little mischief doesnt technically count as harm- and hey theys preffer to find the og chancellor b4 upsetting and potnetially causing the new one to do smth drastic by attsmpting to out him (not that alcor would, its so much funnier to deny everything to their faces while blatantly lying but they dont know that. So caution (and stress) it is)

some leverage: redemption reactions

i finished leverage redemption today! and i don't have anyone to talk to about it so, here we have my reactions for all eight episodes, both positive and negative. please feel free to reblog/comment -- discussions are what i'm here for! (under a cut because spoilers and also this ended up being 2k. whoops!)

EPISODE 1: the too many rembrandts job

the "aww, this guy is trying to pull his first heist! how cute" job

what they chose to do with nate was... interesting. it might just be that i read too many of those cracky "here's how they should explain nate's absence" posts, but i was expecting something funny. the grief permeating this episode -- it makes SENSE, but it was still weird. leverage doesn't usually have sadness like this. pain, yes, rage, certainly, but sadness? not usually

the way sophie immediately spots the signs of a con and slips into a character? phenomenal. i'm here for EXPERTS BEING EXPERTS and this show does NOT disappoint

harry wilson is a really solid character! most impressively, he's not flynn, which is impressive enough that i'm making a whole bullet point about it. i was worried that noah wyle was kinda a one-trick pony, but it appears not! good for him tbh

i'm LIVING for the ot3 moments in this episode. "what happened?" "we happened" YESSSSS!!! i wish we'd had more domesticity, but i know they did what they could

"he gets it from his father" FUCK!!!!!

the discussion about redemption in this episode is FANTASTIC but personally i am still delirious with excitement about "my nana leads a multi-denominational household" so expect those thoughts in 3-5 business days

EPISODE 2: the panamanian monkey job

the "flash electropop concert" job

BREANNA INTRODUCTION! i love her so MUCH, y'all. we only got to see her dynamic with hardison in this one episode, but man, it manages to be one of her best dynamics anyway. i just! i love her! i love the way the team works with her!

"in our field, you're one of the best. but there, you're the only one." god we have ELIOT/HARDISON rights and i am NOT OKAY. just!! them!!!!!! being supportive!!!!!! they have learned how to be sweet with each other! they work together so much better (in part because we're seeing them from harry's outsider pov instead of nate's insider pov, but STILL)

midway through this episode, i thought "huh, leverage always focuses on specific people, when really the problem is systematic, and pretending it's anything different is just an excuse to not fight for change". and then at the end harry talks about how the system itself is broken! i love knowing that john rogers and i were reading the same tweets last summer. it's a good feeling to trust the people making a piece of media

who let noah wyle speak spanish. whoever it was, they need to rescind their permission

god, the parker/hardison in this episode. THE PARKER/HARDISON IN THIS EPISODE! they KILL me friends they KILL ME!

also just like, hardison in this episode in general. he made a star trek reference! he made a doctor who reference! he decides there are other people who need him more! the way they wrote around gina bellman's maternity leave in s2 was good but this was phenomenal.

also i'm here for ot3 crumbs so "is this like the time when eliot wanted us to say no" is going on my ot3-is-canon conspiracy board

this is a tiny detail but eliot taking out the drone with a goddamn ORANGE was so good. he's so good at his job!! they're all so good at their jobs!! i know i literally just talked about this but AAA

EPISODE 3: the rollin' on the river job

the "sometimes you just want to rob a vault wearing a floofy dress, and that's valid" job

i did... not. like. how the villain in this one was an immigrant whose exploitable weakness was a "desperation" to be included in the upper crust. and the fact that they beat him with a literal southern belle who explicitly beats him BECAUSE her family has been in the area for "hundreds of years"? it just feels Iffy.

also iffy about this episode was breanna's characterization. it felt inconsistent. she feels inconsistent across the whole season, but this episode in particular... she tells harry she's only with the team because she's desperate, that she doesn't believe in hope, and then at the end of the episode she tells parker she wants to be there to change the world. and like, even in the first place, she's not here out of desperation! SHE asked to join the team! like, i can see how it all kinda fits together, but it just feels... inconsistent. idk. i think these scripts all could've benefited from an extra round or two of editing.

anyway! i loved the way they tied hardison into these episodes, even though aldis hodge couldn't be there. he has binders! breanna doesn't want to read them! parker did! he put in big letters, "when in doubt, trust the person in the van". i'm just so !!! about how much i love him and how much he loves his team and how much his team loves him. FOUND FAMILY, BABY!

all inconsistencies in breanna's characterization aside, i really liked her speech at the end. i know how she feels! it's really nice to have someone on the team who's from -- not my world, really, but a lot closer than any of the others. it's a nice feeling! i love her a lot. i hope her writing gets more consistent

lol, parker ate eliot's carrot cake. i love the parker/eliot rights we get in this show, they're so domestic and it's wonderful.

EPISODE 4: the tower job

the "hardison made his partners learn klingon" job

watching this episode was what made me go "they're not going to make us sit through a harry/sophie romance... right? right?"

i'm still not sure they're gonna let us avoid it but it COULD work so... i've decided to just not worry about it for now

i liked the number of ways the con goes wrong! it was fun to watch them work on the fly like that. i think them not having a dedicated Mastermind(tm) is a good watsonian explanation for their plans being pretty haphazard in general, but it's good, they think well on their feet

nate was a chessmaster. he had the whole situation in his mind from the beginning, accounting for every possible outcome. parker and sophie are much more adaptive, and it's cool to see. they can rely on their respective skillsets a lot more than nate could

a really solid episode! probably one of the strongest ones in the season. i liked it a lot.

(ALSO as mentioned above the klingon lines were fantastic and not just because they were a star trek reference -- every time eliot and parker both mentioned hardison, together, it added a year to my lifespan)

EPISODE 5: the paranormal hacktivity job

the "sophie was worryingly prepared to fake her death" job

i know why they characterized the client as a skeptic, i really do, and i loved the format of this episode, but also. But Also. she should've been a love interest for breanna and I'm Right.

having a girl's episode was the CORRECT choice. they do crimes in their free time! they fleece newbie, cruel criminals! it's so good!

it would've been cool to have eliot around for the assassin guy, but it was also cool to see the others take him out without having eliot to rely on. it's like getting to see how they'd take out eliot, if they were ever on opposing sides.

PARKER CANONICALLY USES SCRIPTS IT'S THE BEST THING EVER

breanna bristling about letting the criminal into the theater's electric system was so good god i love her so much. she knows hardware! i bet she likes to work with her hands. i bet she stims. i bet she has adhd

actually, sidenote, but i LOVE these headquarters. they look so nice! the stage is so nice! i loved having an episode set in and around it, it was such a good choice.

EPISODE 6: the card game job

the "FINALLY AN EXPLICITLY QUEER LEVERAGE CHARACTER" job

QUEER BREANNA QUEER BREANNA QUEER BREANNA QUEER BR

UNFOLLOW ME NOW THIS IS GONNA BE THE ONLY THING I POST ABOUT FOR THE REST OF TIME

GOD, what a good way to reveal it. it's fully about her! i love queer romances, of course i do, but i don't think i've ever seen a character come out without a romance being their reason for doing so (however indirectly). i still think she should've gotten a date with the client from 1x05, but i really liked this too.

this episode just felt like a love letter to fandom, and i love that. i love how much it shone through. i'm used to writers specifically going out of their way to make fun of fans and laugh at them, so it was just. really nice to have someone stand up and go, no, this is important for a reason! people love this for a reason! it MEANS something!

very fun to watch eliot swordfight. very fun to watch sophie recite a sonnet in her classic fashion. very fun to watch parker work at being a good mentor. breanna was so excited about the card game! they're all so good!

oh, and i guess harry's here too.

EPISODE 7: the double-edged sword job

the "harry is addicted to mobile games, which is a mood" job

hot take alert! i think this is the weakest episode of the season by a LOT. it needed so much more editing. it felt so disjointed, so all over the place. the plot was haphazard but in a muffled way, where you had no idea why they were doing what they were doing. the climax was sudden and didn't make any sense. it was just weird.

i'm not the person to comment on this but it feels kind of lazy to cast an east asian guy to play a socially-awkward tech genius. just a thought.

oh, of course jonathan frakes directed this episode. sometimes his stuff is really good but other times (ahem, ds9 3x02) it's disjointed and all over the place. i'm not even surprised it was him.

idk if i have anything else to say about this. oh! some of the team moments were great -- mostly involving eliot. i loved the moment of him recognizing the headshot, i LOVED the ten seconds of everyone teasing him. he and parker talked about the wellbeing of their friend, the woman whose ex tracked her down!

separate bulletpoint to say how much i LOVED his conversation with breanna outside the house. he's so good at reassuring! he could go deeper there, talking about being better than your worst day, but he knew when not to push! it was so good.

"first off, this guy can't TOUCH hardison" deserves its own bulletpoint because like. y'all. Y'ALL.

EPISODE 8: the mastermind job

the "eliot is more than just a pretty face" job

oh man this post is so much longer than i thought it would be. okay just one more episode and then i'm done.

the callbacks to original leverage were SO well done and made me feel emotions without feeling overbearing.

i didn't like the central premise -- that nate would share so many details with a random insurance agent -- in the first place, but i did like how it allowed them to bring back nate without actually hiring timerty mcasshole.

i liked eliot's insistence that he's more than just the muscle! he is, and it's really good to know, textually, that the writers do too!

me, watching the resolution of the episode: ah, yeah, insurance fraud. a classic!

harry bonding with his guard had "they don't even have dental!" energy and i am SUCH a fan. i know it was all for the con but also give me harry, unable to stop advising people, even when they're actively holding him hostage

parker! on the phone with hardison!!!! ADORABLE

is it just me or was someone else expecting the accountant's name to be something significant? with the way they led up to it, i was waiting for a "sterling" or something else. my sensors were pinging for another tara reveal. i'm still convinced we're gonna get this guy dramatically revealed in the season finale.

a really nice episode! i had a lot of fun with it. and now i want to rewatch the rashamon job, but tbh i ALWAYS want to rewatch the rashamon job.

and that's a wrap! overall, a fun season, i enjoyed it a lot. not as solid as original leverage, but it's the very beginning, and it was put together during a global pandemic, so i'm cutting them some slack. also levar burton is gonna show up at some point. that's a big reason of why i'm cutting them so much slack.

my personal ranking of the episodes is 1x04, 1x06, 1x08, 1x01, 1x02, 1x03, and finally last (and least), 1x07.

what did you guys think of the new season? what was your favorite episode? do you agree with any of my opinions? disagree with any? let me know, please, i'd love to discuss!

#leverage #leverage redemption #leverage spoilers #redemption spoilers #leverage redemption spoilers #sb and l rambles #sb and l watches leverage #levred #this is so much longer than i thought it was gonna be #i shouldn't be surprised but ughhhh i'm so tired

maybemalapert (who tumblr will NOT let me tag) commented:

no pressure to reply, but is there one (or more) you'd recommend? the only akatsuki+OC fic I've read is yours since i don't usually look for akatsuki fic.

okay SO most of these types of fics are...... how do i say this..... very fanfic-y fics. like they’re fun because someone brought a lot of energy and wild ideas to the table and less because they are.... written well. one i have recommended here before is this one, which is about a girl from our world randomly showing up in the Akatsuki base whenever she falls asleep anywhere that’s not her bed. the writing is competent and once you accept everyone is a nicer version of their canon selves, reasonably IC. basically a feel-good fic for most of it.

i also tracked down one of the fics about a girl becoming Akatsuki’s maid, which is.... also about a girl going to Naruto world when she falls asleep, huh. i don’t really remember much except there were several balls-to-walls wild things going on, including her getting a red-and-black maid uniform (WHY... but also hilarious?) and Konan demanding gossip-y girl time (???) and uuh warning for parental abuse being used as an edgy character trait (I’m pretty sure the writer was a teenager when they wrote this). i found this fic really entertaining but i guess i’d only recommend it if you like wild/”Mary Sue” OC fics

two other fics i wanted to recommend seem to have been removed from the internet, so here are two very popular sakura-and-akatsuki fics that kind of fit the same mood as OC-and-akatsuki:

The Natural Habitat of Haruno Sakura by Tozette - College AU where Sakura rents a room in the Akatsuki house. I’m usually wary of modern AUs but Tozette translates how absurd the Akatsuki as a group are into a modern setting perfectly.

Love Lockdown by ladysilvamord - An ItaSaku fic but iirc also explores her relationships with the rest of Akatsuki. Sakura is kidnapped to heal Itachi’s eyes and the rest of the Akatsuki decides to be Itachi’s collective wing man to “get the girl.” Cracky but treated just seriously enough characters feel true to their canon selves.

#if you want general akatsuki fics both tozette and ladysilvamord are great #i encourage people with further recs to reblog or comment for the interested but please do not message me directly #akatsuki #naruto fanfiction #maybemalapert #an FFN writer called cynchick also has some Sakura-joins-Akatsuki fics i really liked when i was Youthful #but they take themselves seriously enough they don't have the same cracky mood as the other fics in this post #so i am not linking them but i did think about it lol #uuuh when i say Youthful i do mean pre-2010 LMAO #they are old old fics but might be worth looking up if you want more serious stuff

Im going to answer all of these questions, idc that nobody asked, im really bored and sad, so im just gonna go ahead and answer these questions. Thank u. (Took screenshots because i couldn't reblog from the original)

Batman fandom!

2. Are there any popular fandom otp you only brotp? Twiddler, is neat, but I only see them as B R O S

3. Have you ever unfollowed someone over a fandom opinion? I did unfollow some for kind of similar reasons but never for having different opinions.

4. Do you have a notp in your fandom? Are they a popular otp? I guess Batjokes fits this? Because is quite hated by the Batman fandom but is also quite popular 🤔

5. Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you? No... But batcat and Bruharvey shippers are kind of hard to deal with when they find out Im into batjokes, so later, im not in the mood to be cheering these up sometimes. I still like them a lot. 💜 (this is all from twitter experience uwu

6. Has fandom ever made you enjoy a pairing you previously hated? Maybe punchjokes, because at first I was so anti about it but the Joker fandom showed me it can be fun if pulled right. We can simply make our fun headcanons

7. Is there anything you used to like but can't stand now?.......The batfamily...

8. Have you received anon hate? What about? Yes, because they thought i was Jarley shipper.

9. Most disliked characters? Why? Just the Batman who laughs, why?? Because he's the edgelords of edgelords and is not even funny, and I hate his chains with robins, is so weird

10. Most disliked arc? Why? Probably Punchline because she had so much potential than to be "Joker's #2" (creator's words)

11. Is there an unpopular character you like but the fandom doesn't? Why? Can i say Joker? Because he's mostly popular by people who are not really into the fandom, 🤔 hm

12. Is there an unpopular arc that you like but the fandom doesn't? Why? There's this really unpopular comic called Salvation Run, but I don't think the fandom doesn't like it, they just don't know about it, and is one of my favorite stories.

13. Unpopular opinion about xxx character? Idk if its unpopular, but I didn't like what they did to Harley in New52, she having the acid bath was,, unnecessary.

14. Unpopular opinion about your fandom? :))))) I said this many times, but when rogues stans exclude Joker as if he's not a rogue is kind of strange to me.

15. Unpopular opinion about the comics/show? I never watched brave and the bold, so I can't judge the writing, but the artstyle,, makes me not want to watch it

16. If you could change anything in the show, what would you change? From btas I would change Harley's origin, rather than being there to prove Joker is not gay, i would make her be there to be Joker's friend, funny pal, clown to clown communication. No drama!

17. Instead of xyz happening, i would have made abc happen.. I would have changed the white knight story to Harvey instead of Joker.

18. Does not shipping something 'popular' mean you're in denial and/or biased? No way, i don’t mind any popular ship, i sometimes multiship, is not that deep to me

19. What is the one thing you hate most about your fandom. The hypocrisy.. But that's normal in every fandom. 😗 And also, the amount of homophobic people that read dc comics. Uwu

20. What is the purest ship in the fandom? I can't think of any 💀 but im sure some heroxhero one

21. What are your thoughts on crack ships? That they are cool, im personally not fond of it. (Except for that one ship that is so cracky but i still love it, Baneface, 💜)

22. Popular character you hate? TBWL, again.

23. Unpopular character you love? TwoFace is quite unpopular right? Right? 👀

24. Would you recommend xxx to a friend? I do recommend dc comics to my friends but they really don't give a fuck about it lmao

25. How would you end xxx, would you change the ending of xxx? Instead of that stupid ending of three Jokers, i would have made batjokes more canon than it is 💖

26. Most shippable character? Batman lol

27. Least shippable character? Joker, just leave him with Bats, sometimes with Lex.

That was it,,

#Punchjokes #Punchline #Joker #Salvation run #new 52 harley quinn #Batman brave and the bold #Batman the animated series #Batjokes #Three Jokers #Baneface #Harvey dent #Batman #Lexjokes #Self ask 💀💀💀#For some reason the first question gets deleted #But the answer was Jarley

ABC challenge~ Jihan U is for unfamiliar (What happend? Part 2)

Days had passed and Jeonghan was home again. Seungcheol and Mingyu were taking care of him. Jeonghan was pale as a ghost and felt as miserable as ever. "Shouldn't you guys be on your honeymoon? It's been what? Two weeks already?" Seungcheol sighed, "honeymoon can wait, family first." He said, as he handed Jeonghan a cup of tea, as Mingyu was doing the laundry. "I can take perfectly care of myself, Cheol." Seungcheol frowns, "that's what you said the first day you came back, and how did that end?" Jeonghan sighed, "I miss Shua.." He said as he blew in to his cup of tea. Seungcheol sat down next to Jeonghan, "like I said before, he will be fine, it's just taking a bit longer." Seungcheol had already noticed that Jeonghan wasn't wearing his ring anymore, but decided to let it be. He drove Jeonghan twice a day to the hospital to visit Joshua. They had just gotten back, and Jeonghan would always end up grumpy. Mingyu came back in to the livingroom, kissing Seungcheol goodbye, as only Seungcheol would stay the night to watch Jeonghan.

"Night, Cheollie." Jeonghan whimpered as he went to bed, just not feeling any of it. Seungcheol was suprised to hear the old nickname that Jeonghan gave him when they first started dating. Guessing that Jeonghan was just in a very sentimental mood.

It was 2 am when Jeonghan jumped as his phone was ringing. It was the hospital. Once he hang up, he rushed to the spare room where Seungcheol was sleeping. "Seungcheol! Cheol! You need to wake up, right now!" He screamed as he turned on the light and rushed to the bed to shake Cheol awake. "Han, what the hell? Can you let me be?" Seungcheol groaned, blinded by the light. "No, Cheol.." Jeonghan was sobbing and clearly in panick, "Shua.. He's awake, but- but it's not pretty and they said he might not make it.. Cheol, please.." Jeonghan cried, pulling at Seungcheol's arms to get him up. But when Seungcheol heared the words, he immediatly was awake and got up. "Let me put on my clothes, I will drive you immediatly."

Once at the hospital, the doctors let only Jeonghan in to say goodbye. They had Joshua sit up right now, as he had vomited a few times. He was pale, but sweaty. He looked at Jeonghan, not completely sure who the boy was. "Joshua.." Jeonghan managed to say, as he had tears in his eyes. He sat down next to the bed, where he always sat. "Hello? Uhm-?" Joshua was scared to ask, he was confused, felt miserable and he had never felt this weak before. Jeonghan bit his lip, "Shua, it's me.. Jeonghan.." Jeonghan shook his head in disbelieve. Joshua finally woke up, the doctors had already said this might me his last hours, and he wouldn't even be able to say his proper goodbye's, as Joshua didn't seem to remember him. "Jeonghan.. You look familiar.. You are the one that-.." Talking became harder for Joshua, he had to think long, before saying a sentence, and sometimes halfway through he had already forgotten what he wanted to say. "You are the one I saw in my dream.. Your name.. Your name is on my ring.." Joshua managed to say, as he slowly put his hand up, showing the ring. Jeonghan nodded, he noticed that Joshua was still wearing both rings. "I'm sorry-.." Joshua whispered, not being able to finish his sentence as he fell asleep. "No, no, nonono!" Jeonghan screamed as he got up and took hold of Joshua's hands. "No, no, no. Don't leave. Wake up, please. Joshua, I beg you!" Two doctors rushed in to the room, making Jeonghan leave, which wasn't the easiest to do. "No, no!" Jeonghan screamed as they closed the door. Seungcheol, who was waiting in the hallway, rushed towards Jeonghan, immediatly pulling him in to a hug. "Hey, hey. I'm here. It's gonna be okay, Hannie. It'll be fine." Jeonghan cried and screamed on to Seungcheol's shoulder, wanting to let go, and go back in to that room, but also never wanting to leave Seungcheol's arms, as they were just a pillow of comfort. Seungcheol had called Mingyu in the time that Jeonghan was with Joshua. Mingyu just walked in to the hospital in what seemed like his payama's and 3 cups of coffee. Seungcheol helped Jeonghan to one of the benches in the hallway, where the 3 of them sat down. They didn't talk, at all. They just stared towards the room, where doctors kept rushing in and out. Jeonghan was so focused on the room, his hands were shaking like crazy, and he didn't even drink his coffee, which only a few seconds later dropped to the ground, and he didn't even notice. "Han?" Seungcheol asked, "hey, Han?" Seungcheol asked again, now getting his attention. Jeonghan looked into Seungcheol's eyes. Seungcheol was worried, he saw Jeonghan, his eyes were red and puffy, as it looked like he didn't blink in forever. "He's gone, Cheol. I can't believe he's really gone." Jeonghan started crying, finally letting it out. Mingyu quickly cleaned up the coffee, as Seungcheol was comforting Jeonghan.

After what felt like hours, Jeonghan had lost his battle against sleep, and fell asleep on Seungcheol's shoulder. Mingyu had fallen asleep on Seungcheol's other shoulder. But Seungcheol couldn't sleep. He was still watching the room. Doctors were stilling walking in and out, they weren't in a hurry anymore. Joshua couldn't be gone, it just couldn't be, Seungcheol was sure of it. He let out a sigh, he didn't wanna wake up the two boys on his shoulders, so he just stayed at the exact spot, not moving at all. Still watching the room. Watching and watching, as his eyes too, became too heavy.

"Yoon Jeonghan? Jeonghan?" A strange, yet familiar voice woke Jeonghan up. Jeonghan opened his eyes, seeing his old doctor in front of him. "Yes?" His voice came out way softer then expected. "Do you wanna see Joshua?" Jeonghan looked confused, and slightly off guard. "What?.." Jeonghan looked to his side, Seungcheol and Mingyu were still sleeping. Joshua. Shua. His fiancé. "I mean.. I-.." Jeonghan teared up again, was he really ready to see Joshua one last time? It had heunted him in his dream. He wasn not ready. "He's currently trying to eat his breakfast, but you're welcome to visit him now. The two of you must have missed each other a lot." Jeonghan's jaw dropped. He couldn't move, nor speak. He was eating breakfast? Which meant? Jeonghan couldn't believe the words, but got the strenght to get up and stumble to Joshua's room, thanking the doctor for waking him up. He knocks on the door, "Joshua?" He slowly walked into the room, he quiet luterally jumped when he saw Joshua sitting up again. He had more tubes attached to him, he still looked a little pale, but he was awake, and trying to eat. Jeonghan made his way to the bed. "How- how are you feeling?.." Jeonghan asked carefully. "I'm doing rather okay, Jeonghan.." His voice was cracky but it wasn't as bad as last night. "You remember me?" Jeonghan teared up, once again, biting his lip. "Everything.. Which reminds me.. Don't you want this back?" Joshua almost whispers, handing Jeonghan his ring. "I-.." Jeonghan nods, sliding the ring back on to his own finger, where it belonged. Jeonghan took hold of Joshua's hand, "I am so sor-", Joshua slowly shakes his head, "don't. We'll talk later." He reffers back to the day of the accident. Jeonghan smiles lightly, as he leaves a soft kiss on Joshua's forehead. "I love you, little one." Joshua smiles, "not as much as I love you." Jeonghan was finally able to smile again, not being able to describe how thankfull he was. He didn't know what happend during this whole night, but he did know he was never gonna leave Joshua's side again, not ever. Joshua came back for a reason, Jeonghan wasn't sure what the reason might have been, but he knew he would fight for Joshua, he would do everything in his power to protect him, to care for him, to love in in good and bad times.

Game of Survival

Chapter 3

Jay awoke and shifted his head. He looked to the side to see Hailey and Will sitting next to him. Hailey was asleep but it seemed as though Will had been watching him sleep. A little creepy, but Jay couldn’t blame him.

“Hey.” He was surprised by the scratchiness of his voice.

“Hey.”

“What time is it?”

“A little past 12:30 in the morning.”

“Hmm.”

“Jay, I need to tell you something.”

“Did you get arrested? Who do I have to bribe?” Jay attempted to deflect Will’s serious tone. Will cracked a smile.

“No one. But, uh. Your neck.”

“Yeah?”

“They’re gonna have to do another reconstruction surgery. Finish repairing the muscles. The bullet did a lot of damage to your skin as well. You might need a skin graft. That may mean a third surgery. They may do it during the next one. It depends.”

“On what?”

“How long you’re under. If they have time. If your cbc comes back good from the transfusion. If it doesn’t then you risk bleeding out if you’re under too long. If they need things to heal up a little bit first.”

Jay shifted his jaw.

“So I won’t be able to go back to work for a while.” Jay observed.

“No.” Will sighed. “Not for a few months.”

“When are they planning on doing it?”

“It’s scheduled for the morning after tomorrow. Or tomorrow morning technically, I guess.” Jay sighed.

“Does Hailey know?”

“No. She doesn’t.”

“Can I tell her?”

“Yeah.”

“Do I need to shave before?” Will smiled.

“They will do that for you. But, I have certain contacts that made sure you were fully shaved last time instead of getting half a beard.” Will said mischievously.

“They would really only shave half of someone’s face?”

“If they didn’t need to shave the other side.”

“That’s just awful.” Jay laughed. Will smiled.

“Anything to make sure my brother remained a baby face.”

“Shut up.” Will smiled at his brother doped up on pain meds.

“Alright, now that that’s out of the way, we can both go to sleep.”

“Sounds good to me.” Jay said, closing his eyes.

He woke up late in the morning. Hailey was whispering something, so he decided to be nosy, and keep his eyes closed and listen.

“I love you so much, you know that. I love your freckles. The way that they’re all different sizes. And I love your curly hair. It’s so thick and soft and beautiful. And I love your hazel eyes. I love that they’re multicolored, I love that they change colors. I love the scars. I know you hate them. They remind you of Afghanistan. And I know you think they’re ugly. I think they’re beautiful because they’re a part of you. And I don't know how to tell you all of this. And you almost died and I thought I missed my chance to to tell you how amazing you are. I wish I knew how to tell you that you’re everything to me when you’re not asleep-”

“Just like that.” Jay said softly, opening his eyes. Hailey was perched next to him, sitting on the bed. She gasped and a horrified look crossed her face.

“Hailey, you’re beautiful, strong, brave and so many other things but most of all you’re everything to me too.”

“You heard that?”

“Yeah.”

She stared at his neck, wrapped from his chin to his shoulder with gauze sticking up on one side. She felt as if the air was stolen from her lungs.

“How bad.” She squeaked out.

“Huh?”

“How bad did it hurt.” She said slowly reaching out and touching the surface of the bandages. Tears welled up quickly in her eyes and her vision started to blur. He could see the guilt in her eyes and it broke his heart.

“Hailey” he whispered, grabbing her hand. “I’m still here.” He said, putting her hand over his heart. “I’m gonna be okay.” She put her head down and nodded.

“I should have had your back.”

“You did. You were there and pressed on the wound. You made sure I didn’t bleed out. If you hadn’t, I probably wouldn’t be here today. You saved my life.”

“Hey,” he tried to soothe. “It’s gonna be okay.” Hailey wiped her tears and forced a smile.

“Yeah.” She pulled her hand away like it was burning. “I’m sorry. It’s just, you mean alot, so it sucked to watch you almost die.” Jay looked at her beautiful figure as they sat in silence. He didn’t know how to respond.

“Will says I’m gonna have another surgery tomorrow morning.” Jay broke the silence.

“What for?”

“To finish the reconstruction from the first surgery. He also said I might need a skin graft which could potentially be a third surgery if they can’t do it during the second surgery.”

“Huh.”

“I- uh- Can you tell the team? I don’t want to drag them all the way down here.”

“I’ll call Trudy and tell her.”

“And tell her what?” A female voice from the door startled them.

“Sarge!” Jay said as Hailey jumped up from her spot.

“I don’t know if you’ll like them, but I brought flowers because it's a custom practice in the United States when visiting someone in the hospital.”

“Thank you,Sarge. You can put them wherever.” He quickly realized how sore his neck was as he strained to turn his head and see her.

She pulled up a chair and sat next to Hailey.

“How are you feeling?” She asked sincerely.

“I’m sore all the time. Hurts really bad when the meds start to wear off.”

“From what I heard, you took a hell of a blast.” His eyes flickered over to Hailey before looking back at Trudy.

“I guess. I don’t really remember. It’s kind of a blur.”

“Everyone’s worried about you. People keep coming up to my desk to ask how you’re doing.”

“What have you been telling them so far?”

“Well, you were in surgery, you were out of surgery. You were recovering and stable. Stuff like that.”

“Hmm. Well, uh, Hailey was gonna tell you that I have another surgery tomorrow morning. They gotta finish fixing everything. I was wondering if you could tell the team for me.”

“Definitely. I can do that.”

“Thankyou.”

“Alright then, let me head back to the district before it turns into a mad house.Do you guys need anything before I go?”

“I’m good, thanks.”

“No, thanks.”

“Hang in there, Halstead.”

“See you, Sarge.”

The rest of the day was tense. Both Jay and Hailey were nervous about his upcoming surgery. Rojas stopped by for a visit, and Will came by in the late afternoon, forcing Hailey to go home and freshen up. She came back in the evening and spent the rest of the night with him. Jay didn’t sleep well that night. He was anxious and restless. Jay did finally manage to fall asleep and was woken up by Will.

“Hey buddy, we need to start getting you prepped.”

“What time is it?”

“A little past six.”

“Can you wake Hailey up?” Will did and Hailey quietly stroked his hair as they started setting a new IV up and getting his catheter in and transferring him to a stretcher.

“Hailey, I’m scared.” He admitted in a whisper once all the nurses had left.

“I know. You’re going to be okay. Will is gonna be with you the whole time.”

“Will you be here when I wake up?”

“I promise.”

She slowly bent down and their lips connected.

She pulled away slowly.

“Good thoughts only, Jay.” She whispered, her lips twitching up into a smirk. Sadly, she couldn’t comb her fingers through his hair because it was covered in a hairnet.

“Good thoughts only.” He echoed as their fingers intertwined.

“The team wanted me to have us call them before you went in.”

“The team?”

“Well, call Adam. Who would have the team there.”

“Oh. Ok.” Hailey pulled out her phone and dialed the number.

“Hello?” Adam answered.

“Hey, phone’s speaker. Jay’s here.”

“Guys, guys. It’s Jay.” The heard Adam say in the distance. There was some rustling before a chorus of greetings.

“How are you feeling this morning?” Kim asked.

“I’m feeling good. Just want to get it over with.”

“Not nervous though, right?” Kevin said.

“Nah, man. Never.” Jay joked back.

“Stay strong, Jay. We’re sorry we couldn’t be there but we wanted to make sure you knew we were all rooting for you.” Rojas said.

“Yeah man, you got this.” Adam said.

“Thankyou guys so much.”

“Hang in there Jay. We need you back here.” Hank’s gravelly voice said.

“Thank you.” They said their farewells and ended the call. Will made his way from the door to Jay’s bed.

“Aright, Hailey can’t walk with you the whole way but she can walk most of the way. I will be in the OR with you the whole time. Perks of being a doctor here. I will try to get Hailey as soon as the operation is over. There may be a chance that you will be sedated overnight to rest.”

“Okay.”

“Are you ready brother?”

“Yeah.” The started the journey to the OR. They stopped at the double doors that only staff could go through and Hailey gently kissed his forehead.

“Good thoughts only.” She whispered.

“I love you.” He whispered.

“Tell me that after.” She gave his hand a long squeeze before nodding to Will.

From there he was quickly transported, sedated, and the operation started.

She went back to the waiting room. It was like déjà vu. She waited and waited. She let a few tears fall. She let herself be angry at the shooter. She let herself ride an emotional roller coaster. Finally she was just exhausted and fell asleep in the chair. She was gently awoken by Will.

“Hailey...Hailey?”

“Huh?”

“Surgery’s over.”

“It is?”

“Yeah. They have him in his room already. He did really good. His vitals stayed steady throughout. And they were able to complete the graft already. We’re gonna keep him sedated overnight so he can rest.”

“So no more surgeries?”

“No more surgeries.”

“That’s great.”

“Yeah, its really good. The only downside is that there will be a lot of scarring and rehabilitation will hell.”

“Wow, way to kill the mood.”

“Sorry. Uh, we have him on an NG tube to feed him tonight and tomorrow. His stomach will be sensitive from the anesthesia. I can take you to sit with him.”

“Thankyou.” He escorted Hailey back to the familiar room.

Her partner lay there once again. He was sleeping peacefully despite the bandages and the icepack. A small yellow tube coming out of his nose was taped to his cheek and tucked behind his ear. A mask rested over his nose and mouth. Hailey smiled.

“He looks so peaceful.”

“I don’t think he’s slept like this since.. well… since before he enlisted.”

“Yeah…”

They sat with Jay for a while, occasionally cracking jokes about Jay getting plastic surgery, before Will went out and got both of them some supper. After, the team visited when they were done with work. All night Hailey slept holding Jay’s hand. The morning was pretty dull. Jay was given meds, an NG feeding, and taken off the sedation. The mask was removed and replaced with a cannula. The team dropped by again, whispering and chatting while Jay slept. They missed it the first time Jay blinked his eyes open because he was asleep again in a matter of a handful of seconds. The second time was a little different, because Jay made a noise when he awoke. Adam nudged Hailey who was at Jay’s side as his eyes cracked open.

“Hey, big guy.”

“I love you.” Hailey froze, Jay probably didn’t realize that the rest of the team was there. But, then again, it wasn’t like the team didn’t already know they were dating and had been for a long time. Jay took a breath before talking again.

“You told me to tell you after the surgery.” Hailey smiled. Of course Jay would be the one to remember something like that.

“Awwwwww… how cute.” Adam teased.

“Jesus...” Jay whispered under his breath, realizing he had an audience and reddening with embarrassment.

“That might be one of the cutest things I’ve seen all year.” The team giggled.

“Shut up, Adam.” Jay and Hailey said in unison.

“Man, someone’s cranky.” Adam retorted. Jay rolled his eyes.

“Glad you’re awake, man.” Jay fist bumped Adam. Jay was met with a chorus of greetings. When asked how he was feeling he answered that his neck and his thighs were sore, to which Hailey had to explain that that was where they took the skin from to graft it in. Jay lasted for all of about thirty more seconds before falling back asleep. Will woke him up in the afternoon to pull his feeding tube. It was a terrible experience that made Jay tear up and sneeze and cough from the tickling sensation in his nose and the back of his nose. Jay rubbed his nose aggressively to try to get rid of the feeling. Jay fell back asleep shortly thereafter. He woke up and was covered in his favorite blanket. It was a fleece blanket Will had bought him once that was camo with the 75th Rangers insignia on it. It was soft and Jay had frequently used it. Someone had obviously picked it up from his apartment. Will, who was sitting next to him, smiled and held up a container of red jello and a spoon.

“Wanna try it?” Jay smiled. It reminded him of his mom. When he would get sick as a kid, his mom would cover him in his favorite blanket and give him jello. Granted, Jay mostly got stomach bugs as a kid so that would be one of the few things he could keep down.

“Yeah.” He said, gladly accepting it.

He quietly opened it and took a bite before looking at Will.

“Hey Will?”

“Yeah?”

“What do you think Mom would say if she was here? About me getting shot, again? Do you think she’d be disappointed?”

“No, no. I think she’d be worried. But more than that, I think she would be proud. Not that you got hurt. But that you were pushing a civilian out of harm’s way when it happened. You were being selfless. I think she would tell you that it was a good call. But she would probably also tell you that she would want you to be more careful. Even though you couldn’t control it.”

“It’s hard going into the field sometimes. I know that it’s my duty as a cop to protect, but I worry. Because I don’t want to leave you here alone. I mean, I became a cop because I didn’t think it mattered if anything happened to me. Mom was gone, Dad had disappeared, you were in New York. But now I have you, and I have Hailey, and the team.” Jay set down his Jello container and finished his last bite.

“I don’t even know what I’m saying. I think I might be a little high.” Will laughed at him and Jay smiled.

“Oh brother. I love you so much.”

“Ditto.” Will rolled his eyes.

“Mom would say she loved you no matter what you did or what you were going through.”

“She loved us.”

“Yeah.” Will rubbed Jay’s leg.

“You wanna stay awake. We can turn on the news or something.”

“Oh that sounds good.”

They flipped through channels until Jay stopped Will.

“Go back.” Will did to see Deputy Superintendent Miller on a podium, holding a press conference.

“Turn it up.”

“During the shooting, however, the responding officer, Detective Jay Halstead, sustained a life threatening injury. The offender fired multiple rounds at Detective Halstead using a shot gun, one of which unfortunately hit Detective Halstead’s neck. He underwent life saving surgery and is now recovering from a second surgery. Detective Halstead acted humbly and heroically, trying to protect a civilian from danger, and the CPD commends his efforts.”

“That made it up the ranks quick” Jay commented.

“Yeah.”

“Can you put something else on?” Jay asked after a few seconds. “I don’t really feel like listening about my own near death experience.”

“Yeah.” Will put on some documentary before sitting back down. They didn’t speak to each other but enjoyed each other’s company. Hailey came with dinner for her and Will which they mercilessly teased Jay about. As the night fell, Will decided to go home that night, knowing Hailey would call him if anything happened. They talked until they both decided to settle down to sleep. As Hailey was about to doze off, Jay’s voice startled her awake.

“Hailey. Hailey?”

“I’m here, what do you need?” She said standing up.

“I don’t know how to ask this. But, I’m wide awake. And I thought maybe it was because I’m used to sleeping with you at home. I - I don’t know- I - can you lay with me. Please?” Jay held his breath waiting for the answer. Hailey carefully sat down on the edge of his bed.

“You just had surgery, I don’t want to hurt you.”

“You won’t. And if you do, I’ll tell you” Hailey gave him a look, knowing he probably wouldn’t.

“I promise.”

“Scoot over, then. My ass is not that tiny.” Jay smiled and complied.

She fit right next to him, her warmth was comforting as he put an arm around her. She avoided touching his neck and instead scooted down enough to put her head on his chest.

“Your sweatshirt smells good.” He whispered.

“Mmm… it smells like hospitals.”

“It smells like you. Perfect.”

“Oh shut up.” They both chuckled at his cheesiness.

“I had to try.” He said, pulling the blanket up.

“Nice blanket.” Hailey commented, noticed the logo.

“Yeah, Will got it for me years ago for Christmas or something.”

“This year I think I’ll get you bubble wrap for Christmas. And that way, you’ll have an extra layer of padding when you go out in the field.”

“Oh really? I can’t wait.” Hailey snickered and rolled her eyes.

“All I want for Christmas is for you to be safe.”

“That would be nice. Stop having to be in hospitals.”

“Why do you hate them so much?”

“Uh-Afghanistan. I uh- injured my back- broke a few vertebrae. Spent five weeks in a hospital in Kandahar.”

“That’s where you were stationed?”

“No, I was actually stationed in the Korengal valley. But it was the closest hospital.”

Hailey set a hand on Jay’s chest.

“You don’t have to talk about it, but was that after the explosion?” Jay nodded silently.

“It was scary, and unfamiliar and everything just seemed so uncertain. I woke up and I couldn’t walk for close to six months.”

“I’m so sorry.”

“It’s fine. I mean, it was horrible. It was the most painful thing I’ve ever been through. But it’s over now. It’s healed. I’m just grateful that I can walk.”

“The more I know about you, the more I realize that I have no clue who you really are.” Jay immediately caught on that she was quoting him.

“Good, my plan is working.” He quoted her without skipping a beat. He squeezed her closer.

“Goodnight, Hailey Ann ‘hopefully in the future Halstead’”

“Oh my gosh, goodnight, Jay ‘I love saying the cheesiest stuff to my girlfriend’ Halstead.”

Christmas Tea (Sam x Rowena)

A/N: Who’s in the mood for a little cracky fluffy holiday smut?? Written for @idabbleincrazy 750 followers challenge! Who better for cracky fluffy smut than my favorite pair?!

Tags: 18+, smut, holiday fluff, first time, consent, lingerie, oral sex (woman receiving), sex, general sexiness (both Rowena and Sam)

Sam knocked on the door of Rowena’s apartment.

The door swung open and the tiny red headed witch greeted him, wearing a black tunic sweater over leggings.

“Hello, Samuel,” she purred. “What brings you here today?”

Sam held up an old and yellowed volume. “I’m here to return the book you lent me.”

Rowena stepped back. “Come in,” she said. “I’ve just made tea. Would you like a cup?”

Sam shrugged his broad shoulders easily under his plaid shirt and leather jacket. “Why not?”

Sam strode into the living room and stopped short. The apartment was bedecked for Christmas. Candles and boughs were arranged on every shelf and window. Bells hung from the door. Little felted winter animals winked from the coffee table.

The centerpiece was the tree: a real balsam, draped in white lights and ornaments. Sparkling snowflakes, bundles of herbs, and cinnamon sticks wrapped in ribbon hung from every branch. A few presents were placed under the tree, wrapped in perfectly coordinated paper, with room for many more.

Sam shook his head and turned to Rowena. “Is this another one of your spells?”

Rowena giggled. “Samuel,” she cooed. “It doesn’t need to be magic. Haven’t you heard of online shopping? It’s not all arcane books and spell components.”

“Online shopping,” he murmured. “Okay, I’ll keep that in mind.“

Sam followed Rowena into her kitchen. Her tunic swished over her hips as she walked. Sam couldn’t help noticing the shape of her body and her graceful movements.

Sam sat at the table, focusing on the tray of festive candles, trying to think of something, anything other than how gorgeous Rowena looked. She opened a cabinet, and his gaze was drawn towards the sound. She was stretched, up, her toes pointed and her tunic pulled against her body. She found what she was reaching for and turned around quickly, catching Sam’s eyes. She gave him a saucy smile before turning to pour two cups of tea.

Rowena sat down at the table, handing Sam a cup of steaming tea. He sniffed. It smelled like oranges, cinnamon and spices. He took a cautious sip. It was hot, sweet, and delicious. His hands dwarfed the cup as he sipped again.

"Rowena,” he said with a boyish grin, “This tea tastes like Christmas!"

She giggled, and nodded. "Yes, Sam, yes it does.”

Sam’s eyes narrowed suspiciously.

“Wait, is this tea magical? Are there herbs that are going to make me feel things?”

Rowena’s green eyes widened and she leaned in close before she purred, “Why, are you feeling things?"

Sam shook his head quickly, his dark wavy hair flopping.

Rowena laughed at Sam, a musical silvery laugh. "This is just tea. It’s Harney and Sons. I buy it at the bookstore in town. But even ordinary tea and spices do have that magic of conjuring up memories.”

She took several delicate sips of her own cup before looking at Sam. “Then again, cinnamon is a powerful spice that can encourage you to speak the truth, or stir up forgotten emotions.”

Sam stared forlornly into his own tea as he answered, “My memories of Christmas aren’t that great."

"Sam,” she asked softly “Haven’t you ever even had a Christmas tree?”

Sam shrugged.

Christmas had always been a fraught holiday for him and Dean. They had no sweet memories of good Christmases at home. No holiday fantasy of sparkling safety awaited them. On the other hand, they had tried, over the years, for one another. A branch hung with gas station air fresheners came to mind. For Sam, Christmas time was mostly a time to remember all the things he didn’t have.

He realized Rowena was still waiting for an answer.

“Not a Christmas tree like that."

When the tea was gone, Rowena walked Sam to the door of her apartment.

"Sam,” she asked, sliding one hand up the door frame. “What do you want for Christmas?”

Sam looked her up and down until he realized he was staring. He blushed and shrugged.

“Books, I guess.”

Rowena leaned in closer, teasing him. “Books?” she asked, batting her eyes and drawing out the word. She shot Sam a smug smile. “I’ll have to do more online shopping. Or go back to the bookstore in town. Books it is!”

…

A few days later, Sam knocked on the door of Rowena’s apartment again. He didn’t know why she couldn’t just bring his Christmas gift by the bunker but she was insistent that he come back to her apartment.

“It’s open,” he heard her call.

Sam stepped into Rowena’s living room. It was dark, and for a moment he thought that he had imagined her voice, that no one was here. Then his eyes adjusted to the low light. The Christmas tree was shining bright, maybe even brighter than before. And next to it, comfortably seated on the floor amongst the gifts, was Rowena. The glow from the tree lights illuminated her face, casting shadows in the curves and angles of her body.

“Ro?” asked Sam, baffled.

In one graceful motion, she rose and walked towards him.

Sam saw that Rowena was wearing a satiny red robe, held closed around her tiny waist with a sash tied in a bow. She walked right up to him and slipped into his arms. Without even thinking, he drew her into his embrace.

“Rowena,” he murmured. “What are you doing?”

Rowena looked up, tilting her beautiful face to look at him.

“Giving you your Christmas gift."

Sam’s brows rose. "I recall asking for books.”

Rowena pressed into him. “I’m giving you something better."

She was gazing up at him, her glossy lips dark and soft. Sam lowered his head and met her lips with his own.

Their first kiss was soft and tender. Their second kiss was hotter, each of them asking questions of one another. After that, their kisses faded into a blur of warmth and cinnamon.

Sam lifted one hand to cup Rowena’s face, long fingers tangling in her hair. He ran a thumb under her lower lip and her mouth dropped open. Sam slipped his tongue into Rowena’s mouth, hungry and seeking. She met him with equal desire.

Sam’s other hand slid down Rowena’s back, slipping over her satin robe, until it settled in the small of her back. He pulled her close, holding her, almost lifting her.

"Wait,” Sam whispered. “C'mere.”

He took a few steps back and sat down on Rowena’s couch, pushing pillows aside. His hands pulled her close, to stand between his spread knees. This way, Rowena’s face was almost level with his.

Rowena pressed her forehead to Sam’s and he lifted his face to nuzzle his nose to hers. Her lips were irresistibly close, and he kissed her again.

“Ro,” he murmured, “Are you my Christmas gift?”

Rowena nodded. Her dark red hair cascaded down around his face, drawing the two of them into their own little world. This close, Sam could see the light freckles on her cheeks and the tiny lines in the corners of her eyes.

A sound caught in Sam’s throat; somewhere between a sigh and a moan.

Rowena’s eyes fluttered closed for just a moment, her thick lashes like dark lace on her pale cheeks. She lifted her gaze to meet Sam’s. Her pupils were wide and her green eyes were flecked with gold and grey.

She was the most ethereal magical tiny sex bomb of a woman and Sam found her completely irresistible.

Sam ran his fingertips lightly up Rowena’s high cheekbone and around to her neck, drawing her close so he could kiss her again. Her mouth was sweet and warm, and every kiss was amazing. His kisses spread from Rowena’s mouth to her chin, up her jawline and under her ear. His hand tangled in her thick red hair to pull her head back gently. His kisses traced a line down her elegant neck.

Sam’s hands pushed open the collar of Rowena’s robe, just a little, revealing the fine skin of her shoulders. He turned his attention to the delicate lines of her collarbones. His lips teased a series of marks, first soft, then red hot, and then bruised and deep. When his tongue hit the spot between her collarbones, at the soft vulnerable point of her throat, Rowena moaned. Sam met his mouth with one finger and then trailed a path down into the neckline of Rowena’s robe.

He paused; she nodded. His fingers trailed down further, between her small pale breasts. Her skin flushed pink under his touch.

Rowena’s robe was held closed with a tied bow, like a gift. Sam took that bow in both hands and slowly drew it open. She rolled her shoulders and smoothly shrugged off her robe. Underneath, she was wearing a red babydoll slip, with a matching thong and thigh-high stockings.

Sam’s eyes fluttered closed for just a moment as he drew in a ragged breath. Then he looked up and his gaze met Rowena’s. His hazel eyes were wide and hungry.

“Turn around,” he murmured.

Rowena obeyed slowly, turning until she was standing with her back to him. She pulled her hair over one shoulder and tipped her head, exposing the line of her neck and shoulder. The babydoll she was wearing was nothing more than sheer red netting over her pale strong back.

Sam’s gaze dropped lower. Her matching thong rested over her small, perfectly shaped ass, framing her curves like art.

As his gaze took her in, eyes raking over her delectable body, Rowena pointed one foot and slid it up her other leg. It was an effortless motion that drew all of Sam’s attention to her thigh high stockings. They had a seam up the back and a little bow on each leg nestled just beneath the curve of her ass.

Sam reached out and ran a thumb up that seam and over the bow before trailing across the crease of Rowena’s thighs. A choking sound fell from his lips. He grasped Rowena’s tiny waist in both hands and spun her around, turning her to face him again. Her face was flushed and gorgeous.

He leaned forward and lowered his mouth to her breast. He licked one of her nipples, dragging his tongue over her through the sheer red fabric. Rowena’s lips parted in a hot whimpering moan.

He closed his mouth around her, sucking softly. At the same time, he slid his hand up to her other breast, running his thumb across that nipple.

Rowena arched her back and pressed forward into the heat of his attention. Sam trailed his kisses downwards, across the pale skin of Rowena’s taut stomach. He slid his hands around her tiny waist, pulling her closer. He kissed a soft wet line between her hip bones across the top of her thong and she whimpered.

His hands moved down further to cup her ass. He kissed her hip harder, and then dragged his sharp teeth along the blushed skin. She shuddered. He bent down and placed one hot kiss on her soft thigh.

Rowena gasped and her knees buckled.

Sam had been waiting for that. He held her easily in his grasp and turned to set her down on the couch next to him.

Rowena lay back gracefully on the throw pillows piled on the couch. Her long red locks fanned around her face. For a moment, Sam just looked at her, drinking in her beauty. Her pale freckled skin was on perfect display against the pillows: tan linen and green velvet and cream knit and gold brocade. Her breasts rose and fell as she breathed hard.

Sam pressed kisses onto her lips and throat and breasts. She reached for him, pulling him closer. Her delicate fingers swiftly unbuttoned his plaid shirt, pushing it off his broad shoulders. He sat back and took off both his shirt and undershirt.

Sam bent down over Rowena again. The light from the Christmas tree cast a soft glow over her fine skin as he circled her waist with his hands, sliding his fingers under the straps of her thong. He eased it down off her legs, his warm palms skimming over her stockings. He cupped one heel in his hand and laid it over his shoulder. He turned his head to kiss the back of her knee.

Rowena sighed.

Sam kissed all the way up the seam of the stocking, nipping it with his teeth. When his mouth reached the bow at the top, he took the whole thing in his mouth, his lips and tongue caressing the back of Rowena’s thigh. She shuddered. His scruffy cheek brushed between her legs and came away wet.

“Please,” she breathed.

Sam wanted to take her and have her all, but he wanted her begging even more. He turned to her other leg and kissed along the top of her stocking, his lips pressing hard against her velvety thigh.

Rowena reached down and tangled her fingers in Sam’s hair, pushing him to where she wanted his mouth.

“Please,” she groaned.

Sam gave in and sunk his face into Rowena’s hot center, greedily lapping up the wetness that had pooled there for him. He explored her velvety folds with an eager tongue, licking and sucking and swirling.

Rowena was breathing in soft panting moans. Under Sam’s careful attention, she was winding tighter and tighter. She tightened her knees around his shoulders, tension knotting her thighs and her stomach. Sam had her in a labyrinth of pleasure, pushing her closer and closer to release.

“More, Sam, more.” Rowena pleaded.

Sam brought one hand up to join his mouth, slipping first one, then two fingers inside her. He swirled them slowly and she shuddered. He crooked his fingers inside her warm depths.

Rowena’s mouth dropped open as her hips ground down on Sam’s face. She bucked against him hard. He pleasured her skillfully, steadily as she unwound under his touch. A stream of sighs and moans and curses fell from her lips like dirty gems.

Sam kept his focus on her, unwavering, until finally she grew quieter. He sat up and put his big hand on her chest, watching it rise and fall as her breath evened out.

“Oh Sam,” she finally murmured, “I’ve truly picked myself a wonderful gift this year, haven’t I?”

Sam smiled, his face alight with desire. He didn’t want to be patient anymore. He wanted Rowena. He wanted them to enjoy one another, together. He stood up and unbuckled his pants, letting his jeans and boxers fall away. Rowena’s green eyes raked over his magnificent body and she hummed with anticipation. She held out her arms and Sam went to her willingly, eagerly.

He settled himself between her open thighs and laced his fingers together with hers. He found her hot wet center and began to press into her slowly. Rowena met his need with her own, rocking her hips to draw him in deeper. Sam pushed into her, stretching her, filling her. This was something they both wanted, both needed. She could be as greedy as she pleased, and he still had more to give.

Sam let her control the pace until he was fully buried inside of her. Then he thrust forward with his hips. Rowena’s mouth dropped open.

“Faster, Sam,” Rowena moaned.

He let go of her hands and braced himself on the arm of the couch, getting the leverage he needed to give them what they both wanted. He dragged back, almost all the way out, and then plunged back in. His hips pressed into Rowena over and over. Every movement of his body drew a sound from her lips, hot pleading moans.

She slid her legs up over his ass, the seams of her stockings raising goosebumps on his skin. She pulled him in deeper, holding him close. Her hands slid up his arms, her sharp nails digging in.

Sam was breathing hard as he pounded into her. He was pushing himself, and her, higher and higher towards a peak of pleasure.

“Ro,” he gasped.

She answered him with her body, arching up under him to press along him harder, grinding her hips against his. Her whole body clenched and a long wordless moan rose to a scream as she finally tipped right over the edge, free falling into her orgasm.

Feeling her tighten around him was all Sam needed. He closed his eyes and then came right after her. They were tumbling together down a mountain of sensation and release. They were lost in their own bodies and in each other.

When Sam opened his eyes, Rowena was gazing up at him, her gorgeous face proud and hazy with pleasure. She tipped her lips up to his for a kiss. Then she pressed her little white hand into the middle of his broad chest, pushing him off of her.

Sam sat back on the couch comfortably. He pulled Rowena close to him. She nuzzled up against him and ran her fingers through his hair. He cupped her face and lowered her mouth to hers for a kiss.

The light from the Christmas tree cast a soft glow over their radiant faces.

“Thank you, Rowena. That was quite a Christmas gift."

Rowena giggled. She shot Sam a teasing look fluttering her lashes and then widening her green eyes.

"I don’t know about you, Sam,” she cooed. “But I could use a cup of that Christmas tea.”
