Talented Ass Writers: Tumblr (1)
Talented Ass Writers.
As the fan-fiction connoisseur that I am, I see it only fitting that my first official post be a shout out to all the great writers that I’ve discovered, befriended, and thoroughly enjoyed since my arrival on the holy ground that is tumblr.
Now. I’m 22 years old, and I’ve read a lot of fan-fiction in my days, guys, so I’d like to think I know good quality material when I read it.  I’ve even dabbled in the writing aspect of it, but we aren’t going to talk about that. I’m more of a reader than a writer, at least when creative writing is concerned. I have ideas, but I can never think them through to where I want them to end up, so alas, I read others works and immerse myself in worlds inside worlds. 
For the past year or so, I’ve been heavy into the BNHA fandom, hence the name on my blog. My favorite character is Bakugou Katsuki. As if that wasn’t obvious, but I’m a fan-girl at heart, so I read on multiple platforms including: wattpad, quotev, ffnet, AO3, obscure websites that exist, and of course tumblr, and in this post and the parts that will come later, I will mention lots of authors from different platforms that I think people should know about, in my humble opinion.
I mainly read reader inserts or fics with OC’s, but I’m not going to say that there won’t be some character x character action because in the past, I’ve read plenty of those for several fandoms. 
Without Further Ado, Welcome to My “Talented Ass Writers” List, or at least the first part of a yet to be determined number.
* denotes that the fic is NSFW
(Part 1) Tumblr:
@kingexpl0sionmurder - I had to start this list off with my main girl. Steff is not only a talented ass writer, but she’s also a great person and one of my close friends! She currently only has stories for BNHA characters including: Shinsou, Kaminari, Sero, and Todoroki. She writes NSFW and SFW, but she is a 18+ blog.  
One of My Favorites: Missed Connection *
@pleasantanathema - This blog is strictly 18+ NSFW content, so this one is for all my deviants, like myself. She writes smut beautifully, and her writing is just amazing. I once requested her to write Jealous!Bakugou, and she delivered. She writes for Haikyuu and BNHA, so pick your poison, and I just want to add that she may or may not be one of the reasons that I thirst, occasionally, over Endeavor.
One of My Favorites: Encounter Series *
@ttetsuro - skyyyyyy! She’s so good!! You may have read her iconic hoof piece on her previous blog! She’s posted a couple of stories on this new blog, and she’s really great at writing! She’s also a genuine ass person, and one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met.
One of My Favorites: Backseat*
@bratwritings - Nat is super talented. Her blog is 18+. She has great creativity, and she is very descriptive in her writing. She writes for BNHA, and the characters she’s wrote for, I think she’s captured them very well!
One of My Favorites: Keeping it Professional*
@bakublossom - I recently discovered her blog! She does regular writings, but I discovered her with her SMAU! Her SMAU & fics are so good!
One of My Favorites: Apartment 204
@lady-bakuhoe - this list is far from complete, but I wanted to go ahead & put Jo on here. If you like to read Fanfiction, I’m sure you’ve stumbled upon one of Jo’s fics. SHE HAS SO MANY GOOOD ONES. I love her writing so much. She has a way with words, and I read a lot, honestly one of the best. She’s not currently writing, but I would definitely recommend checking out her stuff here or on AO3. 18+ only though.
One of My Favorites: I cant pick one. Literally read any of them.
@ikinabi - Red!! The Kiri Stan who made me also kinda thirst for Kirishima! She writes beautifully. I adore her as a writer & as a person! You won’t regret checking her out, especially if you live for kiri & his unbreakable form! 18+.
One of My Favorites: Power*
@gallickingun - Morgan not only writes for my angry boy baku, but she’s also writes (wrote?) for my asshole prince of all Saiyans that I love so dearly, and she’s good at it. That’s why she’s on the list, obviously. She writes smut, spice, fluff, ANGST (I’m still mad about that ending MORGAN 😂) & she does it beautifully. She’s also a really chill person, and you won’t regret checking her out. 18+
One of My Favorites: please, I beg of you.*
@league-of-thots - Jay’s blog is 18+, and she writes for several characters, including Hawks and Natsuo. She’s really good at smut, which I believe is slowly becoming a prerequisite for this list, and her writing, the not smutty parts, is also superb. She also throws in some kinks, and We all secretly like the kinky stuff, you can admit it to me. 
One of My Favorites: How Much I Love You*
@rivendell101 - I feel like I keep saying things like “she’s so good,” but they wouldn’t be on this list if they weren’t good. I’m not normally into threesomes, okay, but after reading the way she wrote her todoxreaderxbaku ... I had a change of heart. Her fic is really well done, and I can’t wait to read more of her stuff! 18+.
One of My Favorites: Some like it Hot*
@ichor-and-symbiosis - Don’t get me wrong. I love my heroes, but this is one of my fave villain blogs, specifically Shigaraki. She totally writes for other characters including Heroes and other Villains, but she captures Tomura so well, and she has so many fics! If you want some five finger death punch, AKA Shigaraki, in your life, I would definitely check this blog out! 18+.
One of My Favorites: Mine*
@bnhabadass - Nora’s tumblr name fits her so well because she’s definitely a badass! She writes for a lot of BNHA characters, and her writing is really good! I’ve read some of her work, and I plan on reading more because I haven’t been disappointed yet! 18+.
One of My Favorites: Behind Tent Walls*
@burnedbyshoto​ - Lyssa! The Todoroki stan of Todoroki stans. She captures Shouto so well in her writing, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of the fics that I’ve read by her. If you love a certain icy hot bastard, I think you’ll like her blog! 18+.
One of My Favorites: House-sitting and Concupiscence*
@cutesuki--bakugou - Sarah is so talented. She writes, obviosuly, but she also DRAWS, and in this house, we stan multi-talented queens. She drew me MMA bakugou, and I will forever be indebted to her, but that’s not why she’s on this list. She’s on here because she’s super great at writing, especially for Baku. She also has great xOC content, but she does xReader as well! 18+.
One of My Favorites: Frigid*
@todourouki - Despite the name, this blog writes for BNHA and Haikyuu! I am partial to the BNHA fandom because it has my angry boy in it, but I do like the Haikyuu fandom, and I feel like it’s growing very rapidly recently. I love this blog’s writing style, and the smut is great! 18+.
One of My Favorites: Studying, but make it Nude*
@ladyexplosionmurder - I’m sorry, but if you write good bakugou stories, you’ll probably end up on this list, or one of my future lists, and this blog writes good bakugou! They don’t have many stories yet, but I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve read so far. This is definitely a blog to watch!
One of My Favorites: Riled Up
@tomurasprincess - Mari writes more darker stuff, but she does it WELL. If you’re into Yandere and things that come with that, I highly suggest checking out her blog! You won’t regret it. 18+.
One of My Favorites: Explosive Consequences*
@hisoknen - Raph also dabbles in the dark arts of the BNHA Fandom, but she also does it beautifully. I highly recommend her as well. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of the fics that I’ve read that were written by her. I suggest checking this blog out. 18+.
One of My Favorites: Looking for Trouble*
@mrs-takami-keigo - Ari is a great person whom I connect on with love for an angry explosion boy and makeup and other things, and she’s also.... a great writer! I enjoy reading her fics, and I think others will as well. You should def check her out. 18+
One of My Favorites: Mesmerize*
Part 2 of the list is here

Forever Will Forever Be Ours
A/N: Hi, dear anon who requested this. This is pure fluff and it’s super cheesy. I decided to not get into the smut but I hope implied sex on the beach is okay for you as well? Happy reading. Prepare for many feels, if my mom would read this she’d change her mind about me being absolutely unromantic haha
“Keep your eyes closed for another minute, okay?” He whispered against her ear before placing a sweet kiss against her cheek, his hands slowly letting go of her waist. She could her the waves of the ocean and faint music from far away and because of the feeling of sand beneath her feet and a light sea breeze she knew they were somewhere on the beach, but other than that she had no idea what to expect. She knew with Justin, she was always in for a surprise. He had always been spontaneous but also managed to perfectly plan out a whole day, thinking of a million little details. And Selena had missed being surprised, she had missed the feeling of someone knowing you so well that everything felt like an adventure and home all at once.
“Okay, just another second,” she suddenly heared him beside her as his hands grabbed hers, slowly leading her further trough the warm sand and she giggled at how excited he sounded. “Alright, alright. We’ll stop here and then you can look.”
He turned her around just a bit, giving what he had prepared one last glance. “Open your eyes,” Justin finally whispered, holding her hand in his own tightly. He watched her smile a little before she opened her eyes just a bit as tough she wanted to keep the anticipation just a few moments longer. Eventually, her curiosity got the best of her and she opened her eyes fully to a simple yet stunning set-up a few feet from the waves crushing against the shore.
She shouldn’t be surprised really, he had always been a romantic, preparing stunning dates and romantic evenings, taking her to all kinds of places and serenading her with cheesy lines. Sometimes he went for simple and other times, she couldn’t believe what he came up with, going all out just to give her a perfect night. Tonight was no exception and she knew he was watching her reaction as she took it all in.
The lanterns surrounding a blanket with fluffy pillows spread over it reflected in the ocean water, giving the sea a light glow in the beginning twilight and she could only imagine how nice it would look when the sun would set in a few minutes. She knew Justin well enough to know watching the sunset was part of the equation and Selena could spot a basket and blankets for when it was cooler after the sun would go down as well.
“I know it’s not much, but I wanted to keep things simple for now,” having been so focused on the set-up before her, she had completely forgotten that Justin quietly watched her and his sudden breath on the side of her face as he spoke made her shiver.
“It’s perfect, Jay,” she promised, sqeezing his hand and pulling him into the direction of the blanket. “Everything looks beautiful. Thank you so much for doing this for me.” It still stunned her how thoughtful and romantic he could be, even after many dates and surprises with him; sometimes she wished all those who hated him would get to see this side of him, how kind and generous and loving he was.
Sitting down on the blanket, he rearranged the pillows so that they could sit comfortably against them on the sand to eat a bite. “Are you cold?” Justin asked, holding up a blanket but when she shook her head no, he layed it down on the other end opposite from them, creating some space in the middle of the soft material.
As soon as he sat down beside her, she snuggled close to him as his arm found his way around her shoulders, pressing a light kiss to her forehead.
“You want to eat something? I brought some stuff, uh …” he trailed of, his free hand grabbing hold of the basket before her own stopped him.
“Let’s just sit for a little while longer?” Selena asked and he smiled, nodding and meeting her lips in a short, sweet kiss. And so they sat like that for a while, her moving a bit so that she could lean against him and his arms wrapped around her from behind as the sky before them slowly turned into shades of pink, orange and red.
“Thank you for being here with me.” she said, laying her head back onto his shoulder so that she could at least see a bit of his face.
“I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
“Do you remember that one time when we were in canada and watched the sunset over the city and then it was so dark, we needed like three hours to find our way back to the car?” Selena wondered.
“My dad was freaking out,” he confirmed, a quiet laugh leaving his lips. She cuddled closer to him, the air around them slowly cooling down with the sun leaving in front of them. Justin was quick to spread one of the blankets over them before gently laying back more into the cushions which gave them the chance to get a perfect view of the sky that darkened. She layed her head on his chest and his arm went behind her to pull her close and slowly caress her back under the covers.
“Oh, yeah,” she then said in answer to his last statement. “Well to be fair, we were like 17 or something.”
“Seems like a lifetime ago, but then again, also so familiar.”
“I know,” she sighed, lost in her own memories of that time in their lives. “But you know what? We are here now and while many things have changed since then, the way I feel about you is not one of them. I still love you. I still … I used to always imagine a future with you, about how we’d lay together in 40 years, staring at the stars and I - still do that.”
He was speechless for a moment, it was the first time since they were back together she talked about a far away future. He could see why, they used to be so sure that it would be them trough everything, that they were unbreakable and then they weren’t. And he also knew that after she came so close to death, she wanted to make most of every day instead of planing too far ahead.
Justin couldn‘t think of anything to say, so instead he took her face in his hands, connecting their lips into a long, loving kiss.
“I don’t know what to say,” he admitted quietly and she smiled an angelic smile, the lanterns around them making her face glow. “I love you. I hope and I pray and I want forever with you.”
“That’s good,” Selena replied simply. “Makes two of us.”
“God, I love you.” He repeated, saying the words again and before she could even think of an answer, he had pressed his lips against hers again, their lips moving against each other with a building passion and she laughed when he pushed her into the pillows with his body, prepping her face with kisses. When he started trailing them down her neck, sucking onto the skin there, her laughs turned into quiet moans and it didn’t take long for them to shed each other of their light clothing, covering their naked bodies under the blankets he had brought as she tried to keep quiet when he sunk into her. Forever seemed to forever be theirs after all.

Breaking Earth (Ninjago Fanfic): Chapter 2
After a long day in the field, Jay finds himself in an awkward situation and Cole makes a scary self-discovery.
Warning: may contain brief spoilers from Ninjago Season 7.
Prologue and Chapter 1: here
Chapter 2
Cole slammed the robber onto the brick wall. “And where do you think you are going?”
The woman squirmed for freedom but Cole’s grasp was unbreakable. She tried to kick and swing her bags of money to hurt him, but the pitiful attempts were useless against his strength.
“Darn you ninja!” she screamed in desperation. “I needed this money or else I was going to lose everything!”
“Well you just did by stealing it from the Ninjago Bank.” Lloyd snapped as he approached the thief. As he said that, a cop car screeched to a stop on the street behind them. The woman growled in her throat and dropped the bags of money and raised her arms in surrender as the cops approached with their guns raised.
The woman stared at Cole with a raging fire in her eyes. “You think you help others by doing justice? Justice never served me right, instead it threw me into a world of-“
“We uphold the law,” Cole snapped. “What you just did was breaking it. It’s pretty black and white to me.”
The cops grabbed her arms as the woman sneered. “You don’t know suffering, ninja.” She spoke coldly as the police took her away in handcuffs.
Cole crossed his arms and frowned under his mask. Lloyd approached him. “She doesn’t know what she is talking about,” he murmured with a snort.
Cole tried to laugh at that, but fell short. You don’t know suffering, ninja rang in his ears. Of course he knew suffering, right?
Cole turned to the other member of the team, who was staring blankly at a movie poster nearby. “Jay, you there?” Cole asked with a laugh. Jay flinched and turned suddenly eyes wide. “I’m paying attention,” he said distractedly.
Cole and Lloyd laughed. “C’mon, it’s been a long day. Let’s head back to base.” Lloyd said and motioned to return to their vehicles. Cole scratched at the back of his head and turned to see Jay make one more glance at the movie poster of that one space samurai character before going as well.
 ________________________________________________________
“Well, Jay seems like a nice young man,” Maya smiled at her daughter as she arranged some weapons on the wall. Nya blushed and Kai gave her a look over his shoulder as he was picking up tools.
Ray frowned. “He’s the one dressed in black, right?” he asked. Kai snorted loudly.
Nya’s smile died a little as she organized weapons. “Uh, dressed in blue. Master of Lightning.”
“Ooooh,” her father said, his frown still apparent on his face. “The thin one who thinks he’s funny.” Kai snorted again, louder this time.
Nya lost her smile completely. “Well,” she said, defending her boyfriend, “I think he’s funny.”
Her father smiled at her. “Well that’s good,” he said quickly. “I’m glad he makes you happy.”
Maya smiled at Nya with a twinkle in her eye. Nya blushed again as she placed a broad sword in its pile.
“However, the black one seems very nice too-“
“Dad. I’m in love with the blue one.”
“Okay, okay…”
Kai exchanged a look with his sister. His expression was very readable: he was enjoying every word his father said about her love life. Nya rolled her eyes and went back to her job.
 ___________________________________________________________
As the sun was setting behind him, Cole was doing what he did best: punching.
Blow after blow damaged the training bot as Cole danced around it on the deck. Each contact sent the robot into a more difficult level, but it never had time to attack. Cole kept punching and punching, each one harder than the last, until his fist illuminated in the familiar magma orange blow. Before Cole could react, he punched one last time and the training robot shattered. Cole froze and stared in horror at the destruction.
“Cooooole,” Jay groaned from behind him. Cole spun around and watched Jay approach the wreckage. “Do you know how long it takes to build one of those? We can’t just destroy them, they don’t build themselves you know.” The blue ninja gestured at the pile of scrap lying in front of Cole.
Cole itched the back of his neck. “Sorry, I’m still getting used to it.”
“Still?” Jay asked. “You’ve had those weird new powers for quite some time, I would hope you would have some control of it by now.”
The master of earth sighed. “It’s not that simple. I still have no idea how I got this ability, and maybe when I find that out, it’ll help me contain it more.”
Jay nodded with understanding. “Well until then, try not to punch as hard.” Jay chuckled as he grabbed a metal scrap from the pile and handed it to Cole. He patted the taller teenagers shoulder and walked away, whistling.
Cole peered down at the metal scrap, and instantly his blood ran cold. Hands shaking, he slipped the damaged piece into his robes and began to clean up the scattered pieces of the training robot.
 _________________________________________________________
The Bounty landed softly on the open grounds of the Temple of Airjiztu. Lloyd hit a few buttons in the bridge to deactivate the engines and then quickly joined Jay and Cole on the deck.
“Great job today guys, I always enjoy stopping crime with you two.” Lloyd grinned as he brushed back his blonde hair. Jay grinned and nudged Cole, but the black ninja was staring into space with a look of panic. “Cole,” Lloyd started, noticing his face. “Are you..okay?”
Cole connected eyes with the green ninja. “Oh, yeah..sorry,” Cole cleared his throat. “I was thinking about something. I’m also really tired.”
Lloyd nodded uneasily. “Well, if anything comes up, please let me know.” Cole nodded and began to head towards the gangway back to the temple. Jay turned to follow him. “Uh, Jay?” Lloyd called out.
Jay spun around on his heels. “Yes?” he answered with his famous grin.
Lloyd pointed at a few weapons in a barrel. “Can you drop those off at the Blacksmith shop?”
“Yes sir, that I can do!” Jay replied cheerfully as he scooped them up into his grasp. He turned to leave, but then froze. “Wait,” he said, this time his voice on edge. “Are Kai and Nya’s parents there?”
Lloyd walked past Jay, himself headed toward the Temple. The green ninja laughed. “Well, of course! They are the blacksmiths, are they not?” Lloyd walked down the gangway and walked towards the temple.
“I was hoping for a no,” Jay murmured to himself, but took a deep breath and headed down the gangway.
Jay gulped and clutched the weapons tighter as he slowly approached the smaller blue building where a stream of smoke was rising from the chimney.
He walked through the door and saw the whole family busy getting the place together to become an active shop. Nya instantly smiled and dashed over to help. “Jay! How was your day in the field?”
In the corner of his eye, Jay saw both Maya and Ray pause from their work to look up and listen to Jay. Flustered, he cleared his throat.
“Well, uh- there was-I mean- were a lot- uh- many difficult….difficulties, but-uh- nothing that I couldn’t handle.”
The room fell silent. Jay laughed nervously and quickly shoved the weapons towards Nya. “Here. These are for you.”
Nya chuckled. “I’ve always rather wanted a bouquet of weapons over flowers.” Nya joked as she pointed at her father. “Dad is sharpening blades. You can give these to him.”
Jay’s eyes widened. “Give them to your dad?” he whispered to Nya.
Nya bunched her eyebrows together in confusion (Jay LOVED that face; it was so cute-plus he got that a lot when talking to her). “Uh, yeah? What’s the problem with that?” she whispered back.
“He – is – your- dad!” Jay whispered back. “I’m gonna….mess up or something-“
“Just give him the weapons!” Nya whispered a bit more harshly and through clenched teeth.
“What are you two love birds fiercely whispering about?” Ray asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Uh,” Jay said loudly. “Nothing, sir.” He quickly answered before quickly kissing Nya. As he pulled away, he gave her a look of fear, but Nya just gave him a warm smile and a wink. The blue ninja took a deep breath and then turned to face her father.
Jay has seen too many movies where the perfect girl has the overbearing father, and Jay was secretly glad that he didn’t have to face that with Nya when he first met her. But when he turned and faced the tall man with the ash covering his hands and face with his arms crossed over his blacksmith robes, Jay felt like he was in one of those movies and he was about to get a lecture from the father.
Every step felt like a step closer to death. The harsh brown eyes, the veins popping out of his neck and muscles, the angle his eyebrows were shaped, the way that he was towering over him…Jay wouldn’t be surprised if he suddenly developed breathing problems.
The closer he got, the more he realized how much Ray looked like an older Kai. The facial expression became familiar- it was Kai when he was serious, and the gesture of the arms crossing was a very typical Kai gesture. The eye shape, the scowl- even the eyebrows all matched his fellow team member who stood a few feet away.
Jay came to a stop in front of the older man. “Uh, here ya go.” Jay squeaked. Ray eyed him for a second, and then easily grabbed them all in one arm. Jay nodded and quickly turned to leave.
“It’s Jay, isn’t it?”
Jay knew that was the universal sign for ‘I want to start a conversation’. He froze, then slowly turned to face Ray with a smile. “Uh, yeah. Jay.”
Ray placed the weapons on the table and grabbed a rag covered in ash. “Is that short for something?” He asked.
Jay nervously drummed his fingers on his legs. “Actually, yeah. It’s short for Jason.”
“You’re kidding,” Kai spoke up from the other side of the table. Jay shook his head. “My parents called me Jay and it stuck.”
Maya smiled. “And how are your parents?” she asked warmly.
“Oh they are fine. Happy in the junkyard as always.” Jay answered with a light chuckle.
Maya exchanged a look with Ray. “Cliff Gordon living in a junkyard?” Ray laughed. “Did his acting career fail?”
Jay felt his jaw drop. “How.. how did you know…” Jay said quietly.
“Your mother spoke highly of him everytime I saw her.” Maya said. “We were great friends until we were imprisoned. I have no clue where she resides now.”
“What are you talking about?” Kai laughed. “Jay’s parents are an older couple living in a junkyard…Ed and Edna. Right, Jay?”
The whole family turned and looked at the blue ninja. Jay exchanged a look with Nya. “Well, actually, I found out fairly recently that I was adopted. My adoptive parents found me on their trailer doorstep one day with an address and key for my dad’s estate. I…I never knew my birth parents.”
Kai’s face went pale and Maya covered her mouth with her hand. “Oh, you poor thing.” She whispered.
Ray tossed the towel back onto the table and then placed his hand on Jay’s shoulder. “Look, son,” he started. Jay’s heart skipped a beat. “If there’s one thing you should know about your parents, it’s that they were madly in love. I’ve never seen love like that.”
“Well, I have.” Maya smiled at her husband. Ray smiled back. “I see it in you every day, and now I see it in my daughter and you, Jay.”
Jay felt his cheeks and ears turn crimson.
Ray patted Jay’s shoulder roughly, which actually hurt a little, and then went back to work. Maya winked at Jay and then also went back to organizing her tools.
Jay said farewell to everyone, kissed Nya just because she was there, and then exited the shop.
As he was walking back, Kai caught up with him. “Hey, I didn’t know you were adopted.”
Jay wiped his nose. “Yeah, let’s just say it’s an out-of-time experience.”
Kai chuckled uncomfortably. “Hey, when Nya and I temporarily time traveled, we saw someone who probably was your mom.”
Jay looked over, his blue eyes wide with curiosity. “Really?”
“Oh yeah,” Kai chuckled. “She was younger, maybe in her mid 20’s, and dude-lemme tell you- she was hot.”
Jay snorted and pushed Kai away. “Ew, gross- don’t ever call my mom hot ever again.”
“But she was!”
“Just-stop. That’s just weird.”
 ___________________________________________________________
Cole scratched at his neck as he closed the door to his quarters. “What is wrong with the back of my head?” Cole mumbled to himself as he itched at the same itch he’d had all day. He walked up to his mirror and grabbed a smaller mirror on his nightstand. He lifted the back of his hair and held the small mirror behind him so he could see the back of his neck.
Cole dropped the mirror.
He didn’t notice that the mirror landed at the right angle so that it didn’t shatter. He didn’t even realize that his hand had dropped to his side in shock. He stuttered backwards and sat down quickly onto his bed. “No,” he whispered to himself. “That…that’s not possible.”
But Cole knew what he saw: a small glowing green crack that had formed on the back of his neck.
The bright green scar that was on his left temple and forehead was spreading.

MO ASTOR- CHAPTER 25
We don’t own the bikes, brothers, or any “related” Sons of Anarchy, trust us, if we did we wouldn’t have the time to write. No money is being made from our stories. So, please don’t sue. It’d be a fruitless endeavor indeed. That being said, Harley, Journee, and any other newbies are ours, and we don’t share. :Whispers in creepy voice: “My precious.” The universe This reality is a mix of cannon, and our own ideas. We strive to keep the boys cannon, but since we will be shifting around some of the events, that will reflect in our writing and their personalities as well. It’s our goal to provide you with quality fiction, and solid, fleshed out OFC. We appreciate constructive criticism and love LOVE reviews, they are a writers life blood and definitely help encourage us and inspire us. We will be posting on our Tumblr where we’ll have fun pictures from time to time as well. http://tellerford13.tumblr.com We’ll also be taking requests for one shots, preferences or imagines for all things Sons at our other Tumblr, so check it out and send your thoughts!http://tellerford13oneshots.tumblr.com/ And just for fun, we’ve decided to start a Pinterest for the story! So if you want a glimpse at our girls and see into our world, check it out! https://www.pinterest.com/tellerford/
A/n: Thank you all for the incredible support you’ve showed us. Telford’s birthday rocked and she thanks you for the kinds words.
                                           Mo Astor Chapter 25
Lee
My phone rings and “Thank you for being a friend” plays, making me squeal. She’s here!
I hit answer. “You’re home,” I breathe the words like a prayer. There’s so much I want to tell her, hear, and discuss. It’s been hell having her away while my worlds completed shifted.
“I am. Why aren’t you here?”
“Because you have a husband now. You two need time to settle in and continue your honeymoon over the weekend before its time to head back to the daily grind.”
She snickers. “You’d be the only one who thinks that. Jay ambushed me and talked me to death on the way down, and then Gemma demanded we show up at the family dinner. So, get your ass over here we need to talk.”
“What about Chibs?” I ask. The last thing I want to do is make him feel ignored or disrespected. Journee and I together, are a lot. We practically have our own language, and it leaves plenty of folks feeling left out. “He took pity on me and went to say hi to the boys at the club.”
“Say no more. I’ll be there in five minutes.”
I’m like a teenage girl on her way to her first slumber party as I stand from the couch, grab my purse off the table, and rush to my car. We’ve both had so much happening in our lives. It’s time to get caught up and reconnect. She’s as much my anchor as Charming, and the Sons are. There’s power in loyalty and familiarity.
I crank the engine and all but peel out the driveway. I whip into her driveway and pause. It’s no longer her house. It’s their house. My best friend is a married woman. Mrs. Journee Telford. It’s funny…I can remember her writing that name in an elegant font in notebooks and on a countless number of loose leaf pages when we were teens. Who would’ve thought we’d end up here one day?
From the minute they admitted their feelings they’d moved at hyper speed. It’d be too much for anyone else, but with these two it made perfect sense. Why beat around the bush when you’d been putting in all the work for years.
The only thing that had kept them from being an official item before was labels. There had been many nights when I saw Chibs leave her room in boxers and a t-shirt, and the look in their eyes never screamed just friends.  I’m over the moon for both of them, but it’s a dynamic change I’m still feeling my way around. I’ve never had much reason to spend a ton of time around Chibs, and I’m waiting to see what kind of husband he’ll be.
Some men like to keep a woman mostly to themselves. I wouldn’t blame him if he did. They have a lot of time to make up for. Still, the thought of losing my best friend in any way sends me into a slow panic. I push the door open and climb out walking toward the door as I try to outrun my fears. I’ve been left alone so many times in my life, I’ve almost come to expect the relationships that mean the most to me to eventually end.
The door opens, and we hug. Her scent is familiar, and her embrace is tight. My anxiety eases back. This is Journee. She’s never let anyone come between us. Why would now be any different? Because he’s her dream come true. She pulls back, frames my face and brushes our lips together. I hum.
“Well, hello to you too, beautiful.”
She smiles. “Those pretty blue eyes are looking stormy. Come in and talk to your Journee.”
“Are you still mine? I think your husband might disagree,” I say playfully.
She studies me in that scary calm, still, way that makes one feel like she’s peering into your soul.
“Me belonging to him now doesn’t and never will make me any less yours. After all, we’ve been through together, the bond we have is unbreakable. If you’re worried about things changing, don’t. I talked to Daddy about this early on.”
“You did?” I whisper humbled by the actions she’d taken on my behalf.
“Yes, babe. So stop worrying.” She frowns. “You don’t seem like yourself.” She wraps an arm around my waist, and we head inside. She closes the door, pauses to enter the alarm and leads us to the couch. We sink onto the cushions and curve into one another.
“Spill, babe.”
“You’re supposed to be telling me all about Scotland.”
“And I will, right after you tell me what’s got you so antsy.”
“There’s a lot of changes happening, and we both know I’m a creature of habit,” I say glumly.
‘Uh huh. And this has nothing to do with the little head to head with Wendy.”
“Ugh, Of course, he told you.”
“Yeah. I heard his side. Now I want to hear yours. Are you okay?”
I sigh and glance up at the ceiling. “She’s right. I mean, no we weren’t fucking around behind her back, but if I was her, I’d be pissed. We’ve been so busy with our own happiness. We didn’t give a second thought to hers.”
“Ugh, Stupid bitch is still fucking shit up.”
“Down Mama Telford. I know she made the mistake of touching your man, but she’s also knocked up with Jax’s kid. We have to tread lightly—.”
“No, you need to set boundaries and figure things out before this kid comes and she runs or does something else equally stupid. J was all she had. When you came out at the wedding, the last of her hope was stripped away. That puts her in a dangerous place.”
“Shit no wonder she came out breathing fire.”
“That girl slept, ate, and lived, Jax. Even I can admit he was wrong for doing her the way he did. He had a loyal woman. Just because she let him walk all over her didn’t mean he should have. But that was the old Jax.”
Her words hit home as they line up with the same things swirling in my brain. “You see the change too?”
“Yes, thanks to you. You’ve always challenged him and forced him to be a better person. A man who thinks shit through and remembers his humility. Now that you’re together that effect increased tenfold.”
I sit up and lick my dry lips. “I see someone I know, but then don’t when I look at him these days. I was worried maybe I was projecting.”
“Oh, no, you got that boy sprung.”
“What?” I chuckle.
“Oh come on, he makes cow eyes at you.” She blinks slowly and widens her eyes making me giggle.  “He does not.”
“Oh, My God Are you kidding me? He thinks you’re sexy, he wants to date you, he wants to marry you,” she sings.
“Thank you Miss Congeniality,” I say already feeling lighter.
“Look, I’m just calling it how I see it.”
“Right.” I shake my head as I wipe away a tear.
“Feeling better?”
“Much.”
“Want to tell me what had you uptight?”
“How fast this is all going. I don’t let people in like this, but he was already behind my walls, and now he’s infiltrating...” I trail off unable to speak the words out loud.
“Your heart?” She says.
I nod my head.
“Trust me, babe. When it’s meant to be, and you’re with the right person, it won’t matter how much time goes by. This isn’t a bad thing.”
“Yet,” I say quietly.
“Honey he’s not like any man you’ve ever been with. So, stop comparing him. He’s always been there. Why would he not be more committed now?”
“Because this shit never ends up well for me.”
“Do you remember Kyle and the various men who came before him?” she asks.
“That’s different.”
“Why?”
I shake my head unable to answer her.
“We both deserve to be happy. We have our wounds. They’ll lead to doubts, and us picking ourselves apart until we don’t know which way is up and which is down. But we’re lucky because we have something most people don’t.”
“Oh yeah, what’s that?” I ask
“Each other. I’m here to tell you I refuse to let your past ruin your future. Search your heart and your memories. Would Jax even start this with you if he couldn’t see it through?”
I shake my head. “I don’t think so.”
“You know he wouldn’t. My brother is many things, but being reckless with his girls isn’t one of them, and I’m not talking about the warm bodies who’ve played placeholder in the role of girlfriend. I’m talking about You, Gemma, and me.”
I sigh. “It sounds good logically. But.,,” I shake my head.
“We’re far too used to pain and disappointment, but this is our time to be happy. In no universe would I find everything I ever wanted and you not have the same thing. Our worlds are connected.”
“I’m so fucking scared. He could break me. I always hold back with men. I can’t with Jax, and that terrifies me.”
“That’s how you know he’s the one,” Journee says as she squeezes my hand.
“After everything happened with Wendy, he left. I know he needs space sometimes, but it scared me.”
“You know I won’t share his thoughts. That’s his job. But I can say this. You’re not the only one who’s scared. This is new to him, and he’s trying his best to rise to the occasion and be what you need. It’s a learning curve, for both of you.”
“Why the fuck do you make it seem so easy.”
“Cause I’m outside of it, not in it, and I know you both.”
“What the hell am I going to do?”
‘Sit back and enjoy him slaying the dragon for his lady fair.”
I huff.
“When the time is right you guys will find your comfortable spot. Both of you are complex people. It takes time to get through all those layers and wade through those crowded heads on your shoulders.”
“Fuck you’re already old, married, and wise.”
She shoves me, and I laugh as I chew on what she said.
“Seriously, though. I appreciate your input. I’m going to… quell my stinking thinking.”
She smiles. It was an old phrase we’d both adopted from my Gran.
“Good. Did I help some at least?”
“You helped immensely. Thank you for helping me walk through it. Enough about me. I want to hear all about your trip.”
“Fact number one, Filip is a fucking beast in bed. That wedding night was no one off.”
I can’t help the squeal that leaves me lips. “Are you serious?”
“Me and my Kitty are dead serious. I can’t even walk right.”
“Wait. You’re serious.”
“Umm. Yes.”
“Well, now I just have to see it for myself.”
“Lee,” she whines.
“Nu uh. Get your ass up and walk for me.”
“So demanding,” she says with a wink as she eases into a standing position.
The pronounced hitch in her giddy up has me giggling on my back on the couch.
“No sympathy!” She flings a pillow at me, and I clutch my stomach.
“I’m sorry. It’s too good.”
She rolls her eyes and I sprawl out on the couch and blow her a kiss.
“Since you’re here, you can help me with this slide show I have to put together for Ma.”
I shake my head. “She couldn’t wait to get all her children together again.”
“Typical Gemma. Tell, don’t ask.”
“Hope your old man knows what a crazy family he married into.”
“He has one of his own.” I listen as she launches into her tale about his nephew Padric and his mother, Chibs’s sister, Greer. I tear up when she tells me had a chance to speak with his daughter and how they’ll keep in touch now.
I wonder if she realizes she’s given the man everything he could’ve wanted.
