Got Me Thinking
Part 4: If Your Girl Only Knew (Slight NSFW)
Tumblr media
Synopsis: Jack invites you to one of his shows, and everyone is excited to see you, especially him. However, he had to warn you that the time had finally come for meeting the infamous Kelsey face to face.
Pairing: Jack Harlow x Reader
Series Masterlist
Please Do Not Repost My Content Anywhere
Ever since that lust filled night when Jack came to visit, you were longing to see him again and be in his presence. During different times of the day, your thoughts would go back to that moment and how much pleasure he had brought you. So much that in more times than you could count, you found yourself having a river form in between your thighs and often found yourself putting your vibrator to good use. That would have to do at least until you saw him again.
Luckily a few weeks later, an opportunity arose when he called you on Facetime and asked you if you would want to come to one of his shows. Surprisingly, you hadn’t seen him perform since the two of you called it quits and thought it was long overdue.
You had kept tabs on him throughout the years and still supported him, but you simply did it from a distance.
“You busy this Friday?” He asked and all you did was eye him.
“Depends on who’s asking.” You answered while eating your chocolate covered strawberries that was from an edible arrangement that Jack had sent to your house earlier.
“Well I’m asking because I have a show I’m performing at in L.A. and I want you there with me.”
“Hmm, I guess I can fit you in my schedule.”
“What do you mean you guess? Stop acting like you don’t want my face buried between your thighs again. And I definitely want to be one of those strawberries right now. Why are you eating it like that? Getting me bricked up and shit.”
“Jackman! Cut it out, he’s downstairs.” You exclaimed while getting up to close your bedroom door.
“Like I give a flying fuck about that. He doesn’t deserve you anyway. Don’t act shy now, or did you forget what happened last night when I called you?”
You instantly got a smirk on your face remembering how Jack asked you to get off in front of him and all you remember was the camera view becoming blurry as he hit his peak and his cum went flying everywhere as he watched you.
“I see your phone survived what you put it through.”
“Look, it was your fault and I’d do it again too with no hesitation.”
“I know you would.”
Jack then got quiet and you looked at him curiously wondering what was on his mind.
“Jackson, why are you so quiet all of a sudden?”
He simply sighed before answering you.
“Kelsey is going to be there too.”
“Okay.”
“Okay?”
“Jack, that’s your wife isn’t it? I would expect her to be with you sometimes.”
“Yes, but….”
“Don’t worry about it. I’ll play nice and be on my best behavior and I might give you a private show once you’re done with your own.”
“Oh, do tell.”
“Nope, you just have to be patient and wait and see. But, why am I worried about someone that clearly can’t give you what you want or satisfy you? From what everyone says about her, she obviously doesn’t compare to me.”
“Doesn’t even come close.”
“Isn’t it almost two in the morning over there? And where is she now?”
“It is and I have no idea where the hell she is and I don’t care. Probably out spending all my got damn money.”
You stifled a laugh and he simply shook his head.
“Well Clay does call her the wicked witch of the west for a reason.”
“And now I’ve really started to see why over the last two months.”
“We’ll talk about it later, but for right now you need to go to sleep and get all the rest you can get for Friday.”
“Oh, and why is that?”
“Because you’ll have two performances to put on. One for your fans and the other one is for my eyes only. How do you think Kelsey would feel if we had a few minutes to ourselves after the show?”
“I can arrange it and make it happen and she can get the fuck over it.”
Friday was now here and you were on your way to the venue and made sure to leave a bit early so that being stuck in traffic wouldn’t become an issue. As you were driving, a facetime call came through and you saw it was Clay and quickly answered. You were now suddenly concerned and was hoping that everything was okay with Jack.
“Clay! Hi boo, what’s going on? Everything okay?”
“Please tell me you’re still coming, but hi to you too!”
“What the? What’s wrong?”
“Jack is in a mood again and you can guess why because there is literally only one answer at this point.”
“Oh, goodness.”
“I wish she would have stayed home but NOPE. So here we are and everyone is miserable so PLEASE tell me that you’re almost here. I don’t know how much more of her we can take.”
“Of course I’m still coming and I’m actually almost there. I left a little early because I knew traffic was going to be crazy.”
Just then Urban popped into the frame and was waving at you.
“Y/N!”
“URBANNN!”
“Hurry up and get your ass here. I’ll meet you outside and bring you to where everyone is. But uh, did he warn you about….?”
“Yes, I know.”
“Okay good. Didn’t want you walking into any surprises.”
“I’ll see you two in about ten minutes.” Without another word, you hung up and turned your attention back to the road ahead.
As promised, Urban met you outside and led you backstage where everyone was. As soon as you walked in the room, all attention was on you and Clay was the first one to capture you in a hug.
“We’re saved, we’re saved.” He whispered in your ear and you couldn’t help but laugh. When you looked over at Urban, he was laughing too so he obviously must have heard what Clay said.
“Y/N! Clay, move and stop hogging her!” Ace exclaimed while trying to get in between the two of you.
“Hiii Ace.”
“Hello, Y/N, and we need to talk business. As in business being your older sister.”
“ACE!! Leave the girl alone! She just got here! At least let her settle in before you start harassing her! Hi Y/N, I’m Neelam and I’ve heard such good things about you from Jack. It’s so nice to finally meet you.” So, this was the famous Neelam that everyone talked about.
“It’s so nice to meet you too!” You responded while returning the hug that she was giving you.
You scanned the room and didn’t see Jack or Kelsey so you assumed that they were together and sure enough right on cue, they both entered. Jack was walking in front of her and clearly pissed off about something as she was following behind him like a lost puppy and there was an obvious pout on her face.
“Babe!”
“Kelsey, drop it. I’m done talking about it.”
When Jack looked up and saw you, his grim mood turned the corner for the better and immediately ran over to you and picked you up as you began to laugh.
“Hiii boo. I see you’ve missed me.”
“You have NO idea.” He said loud enough so that only you could hear and squeezed you tighter. 
“When you left, I lost a part of me. It’s still so hard to believe, come back baby please cause weeee belong togetherrrr.” Clay started to sing when the two of you embraced and it was giving everyone in the entire room the hardest time in order not to laugh.
“I just love Mariah Carey. One of my favorites. Yall think she’s going to do a Vegas residency soon?” Clay asked as he was scrolling through his phone.
“I’d definitely come with you if she does.” Urban responded while shrugging and Neelam was eyeing the two of them.
She quickly mouthed ‘Behave’ while trying not to laugh herself.
Once Jack had placed you back on your feet, you suddenly felt a presence next to you and turned around to be face to face with Kelsey herself.
“Babe, who’s this?” She asked Jack and he clearly looked annoyed at the fact that she was even talking to him.
“Y/N, this is Kelsey, Kelsey this is Y/N, we went to high school together. She lives here and I asked her to come.” He answered while not taking his eyes off of you and his left arm was still around your waist which she was quick to notice. 
“It’s so nice to meet you.” You said as you held your hand out towards her, but she examined it before she took it.
“Oh, someone’s jealous.” Clay whispered to Urban and he immediately nodded.
“I didn’t realize you two were so close and had no idea you would be here tonight. I feel that is something important that you should tell your wife, don’t you think, Jackman?”
“Here she goes.” Clay quietly said while keeping his focus on his phone.
“They’ve been a lot closer than she thinks.” Urban muttered next to Clay and they both began to laugh.
“Kelsey, don’t start. So I have to tell you about every single person that I went to high school with and decided to reconnect with them?”
“I didn’t even mean it like that.”
“Well it sounds like you did.”
“Damn, 100 points to Gryffindor. He got her good with that one.” Ace said from behind you as you were simply standing there because it was now awkward.
Kelsey then turned back to you and gave you the fakest smile that she could muster. There was something about you that she couldn’t put her finger on, but she already knew for a fact she didn’t like you.
“It’s nice to meet you too, Y/N.”
“Okay, is she settled in now Neelam? Y/N! Let me at Janelle!” Ace said as he was now at the snack table and all you did was shake your head at him.
The time waiting for Jack’s set was spent with you goofing around with everyone backstage and getting to do a mini photoshoot in the hallway with Urban taking the pictures in order for you to be able to post them on your instagram later.
When you were across the room talking to 2fo with Jack right beside you, Kelsey went and sat next to Clay who had a confused look on his face when he noticed her.
“Uhh? Did you need something Kelsey?” He politely asked as he was silently cursing Urban for leaving him there by himself.
“How does Jack know her?”
“He told you earlier. They went to high school together. Didn’t you hear him?
“And they were just friends?” She asked, trying to find out more information about you.
“Don’t you think that this is a conversation for you and your husband to have?” Clay asked while finally turning to look at her.
“He doesn’t want to tell me anything anymore.”
“Hmm, I wonder why. Evil ass.” Clay muttered to himself so that she wouldn’t be able to hear.
“You still need to ask him and not me.”
“Is there…. Is there something I should be worried about?”
“Meaning what exactly?”
“Jack hasn’t taken his eyes off of her since he saw her when she got here.”
“Well.. they haven’t seen each other in a long time and they were really close.”
“How close?”
“Kelsey, ask my brother.”
“But obviously you know something, but aren’t telling me.”
“Why do I get the feeling that you’re a little jealous? You’re the wife, right? So you shouldn’t have anything to worry about.”
“I’m not jealous! It just seems like everyone adores her and all of the attention has been on her.”
“She’s an amazing person. Always has been. Our parents absolutely love her too.”
“Wait, she knows your parents, too?!”
“Like I said before, they were extremely close.”
Soon there was only about twenty more minutes until it was time for Jack to go on stage and you wanted to give him a small gift since you still hadn’t gotten him anything for his birthday. You knew deep down that he didn’t care and was simply excited to see you, but you still wanted to do something nice for him. As he was about to head to his dressing room, you grabbed his arm to stop him.
“Hey, I have something to give you, but I want it to be when we’re by ourselves.”
“Hmm, is it what I think it is?” He asked as he wiggled his eyebrows and you quickly smacked his arm.
“Behave! And no, but… if we can make our way to your dressing room now, I can give you a good luck kiss and maybe a little more?”
All he did was smirk and start to play with the ends of your hair which Kelsey was very quick to notice and was quick to interrupt.
“Babe, isn’t it time for your good luck kiss since you’re about to hit the stage?”
“Gag me with a spoon.” Quiiso said to 2fo who was trying not to laugh.
“Um, sure in a minute. Let me go get dressed first. And Y/N had something to show me so we’ll be back.”
He put his hand on the small of your back and guided you down the hallway to his dressing room as Kelsey was left sitting there fuming at what just happened.
Once the two of you got to his dressing room, he closed the door behind him and locked it then his lips were instantly on yours.
“Mm, I’ve missed that and this.” He said as his hand went to cup your ass in the skirt that you were wearing.
“You definitely made that clear on our facetime call earlier this week.”
“So, what did you want to give to me? Is it another purple thong? Because at this point I’m about to start collecting them like infinity stones.”
“I literally CANNOT with your ass.” You said while laughing and Jack pulled you closer to him so that he was able to kiss you once more.
“Look, I figured I’d ask and when I collected all of them it would unlock some type of bonus scene.”
“Jackson PLEASE stop talking.” You responded as you continued to laugh.
“What?!  What’d I say?!”
“Anyway, for starters, it’s not a thong because I’m not wearing anything under my outfit at all.” You whispered against his lips and grabbed his hand to place it underneath your skirt.
His fingers grazed against your core and you were getting wetter by the second. He then inserted two of his fingers and slowly moved them before putting them in his mouth and sucking on them. Just like he did the last time the two of you saw each other.
“There’s definitely more where that came from, but we have to save it for later.” He quietly said, but all you did was get on your knees without breaking eye contact with him and started playing with the waistband of his sweatpants.
“You definitely don’t need a good luck kiss from Kelsey, but will good luck head be acceptable?”
All he did was nod his head as you pulled down his sweatpants and boxer briefs and immediately took him in your mouth.
“Ahh shit.”
Jack didn’t want to mess up your hair so he simply pushed it back out of your face as you continued to pleasure him.
“I’m definitely going to need you to sit on my face after this later. FUCK!”
Because you knew that he didn’t have a lot of time, you were trying to move as fast as possible in order to get him to cum and you could tell that it was working seeing as Jack’s eyes were now closed as he threw his head back in pleasure and was trying to lightly force you down on him.
“My girl looks so pretty taking all of me in her mouth. That’s it baby, that’s it. I’m close.”
You hearing him say that he was close made you move even quicker with a sense of urgency because the last thing you wanted was for him to be late for his set.
“Fuck!” Was the last thing you heard as he came in your mouth and you swallowed it without wasting a drop.
When he was finished coming down from his high, he looked down at you and smiled before helping you to your feet and kissing you.
“I want to return the favor.”
“But… we don’t have a lot of time.”
“We have as much time as I say we have. I’m the headliner and calling the damn shots.” Was all he said before leading you to the couch and immediately pulling your shirt down to expose your breasts that he began to play with them, lightly sucking and biting.
“Babe, that’s going to leave a mark.” You whined and he simply shrugged.
“I’m marking my territory.”
He didn’t waste a lot of time before pulling your skirt up to your hips, spreading your legs and diving in head first.
By the time that Jack had gotten dressed and you had given him his gift, which was an exclusive Rolex that was personalized and had his initials on the band inside, he was only a minute late. 
“I’m definitely wearing this onstage. Thank you Buttercup.” He said as he leaned down to kiss you and you were simply admiring his outfit as you helped him put on the watch. 
His outfit was your favorite color.
Green.
“Hmm, you wore this outfit on purpose, didn’t you?” You asked and all he did was smirk.
“What ever do you mean, baby?”
“Such a fucking tease.”
As you were in the front and standing off to the side watching Jack perform, Neelam came up to you and smiled. You returned the smile and the two of you watched him in silence before she turned back to you to say something.
“Y/N, I just wanted to tell you how much the people around him see how much happier he’s been since you two reconnected.”
“Well you can thank Clay for that.” You said thinking about when he first asked you.
“I.. look.. Jack is not only my client, but someone who I consider my little brother. He has talked about you non-stop and all I want is for him to be happy and I know that his happiness is wherever you are. Kelsey isn’t good for him and we could all see it from the beginning. He just didn’t want to listen. ”She said, being completely honest.
“That seems to be the running theme of what everyone keeps telling me. He’s definitely important to me and I want the best for him. I just wish sometimes that we never broke up because I always think about how our life might have turned out differently.”
“Well the two of you reconnecting wasn’t by chance and it was definitely meant to happen. I just want you to know that whatever that you two have going on because I know that there is something there because my big sister radar is going off, I support it. I just want him to be happy again. That’s all we literally all want.”
“I wish it was that simple.” You replied while sighing.
“Well, why isn’t it?”
“You said Jack told you a lot about me, but did he mention my husband?”
Neelam looked at you dumbfounded before she responded.
“You act like the word divorce doesn’t exist?”
“And that’s my problem.”
“What is?”
“I love Jack like if he would have asked me to elope when we were eighteen, I would have without a second thought and that is still true as we speak, but I also love my husband as fucked up of a person that he is and I’m having second thoughts about divorcing him.”

Seven Sentence Sunday
Tagged by: @giddyupbuck @daffi-990 @wikiangela @exhuastedpigeon thanks 🖤
I’m gonna be gone most of the day getting a tat done, so have some witch buck:
Buck was 22 years old when they finally settled down in L.A., both of them working odd jobs to support themselves, and it was almost accidental how they started the apothecary; Buck had been lifting curses off objects on the side for a while, he was working construction and they kept finding cursed objects, so Buck had just started to lift most of them - he had always been good at seeing the magical strings and undo them, and slowly people started to seek him out with the intention of hiring him to lift curses, and after a while he had to leave his job and dedicate his full time to that.
On the other hand, Maddie had been selling potions and spells on the side, and she too got busy enough with it that she could make a comfortable living out of it. They had both been working from their then shared apartment for a few weeks before Maddie came out with the idea of opening a store.
They got popular, and Buck’s abilities got famous enough that before he knew it he had become the LAFDs official warlock, and their little apothecary found itself with a page in the firefighter manual, stating that all cursed objects must be transported to them for safe disposal. And that’s how he met Eddie Diaz, a paramedic with the 118.
Tagging if they wanna share anything @adiazhalloween @loserdiaz @hoodie-buck @buddierights @honestlydarkprincess @bigfootsmom @prettyboybuckley @rogerzsteven @heartshapedvows @eddiebabygirldiaz @underwater-ninja-13 @satashiiwrites @elvensorceress @spotsandsocks @shortsighted-owl @hippolotamus @the-likesofus @housewifebuck @911onabc @disasterbuckdiaz @leewithme and whoever else wants to do this!

♠️ Paint Me In A Million Dreams by green_feelings / @greenfeelings [E, 112k]
Harry's one of Hollywood's biggest actors, has made a name for himself in prestigious films and lives the life of a superstar. There's just one thing missing to make it picture-perfect, but the one Harry's in love with is completely out of reach for him. Enter Louis, one of Hollywood's biggest actors himself, who just came out of the closet and taps new genres in the industry. When Louis sacks the role Harry auditioned for in Scorsese's next big film, their irrational feud starts. Who could have guessed it would get even worse when for promo season, their teams decide to present them as a couple for publicity?
In short, Harry's in love with someone and doesn't care about dating anyone else, Louis never felt home in L.A., Liam writes love songs for someone he shouldn't write love songs to, and Niall makes everything better with good food.

AU where Louis Tomlinson is a principal dancer with The Royal Ballet. When his rival from ballet school, moody dance prodigy Harry Styles joins the company, old wounds are reopened and old passions reignited.

♠️ An Amazing Race Around the World (And to my Heart) by Thingssicant / @sunflowervolh [E, 89k]
“This year marks our thirtieth race around the world, thirty seasons of teams bound by friendship, family, and even some people who just band together for the chance at the prize. But this year, we want to remove that dynamic,” Phil said, rubbing his hands together gently.
The cameras were whirring around them, trying to get every shocked face and gasp from the teams. Louis could feel a ringing in his ears, a new nervousness he hadn’t felt during the entire journey to this competition.
He was sweating more now, more than he could blame on the California sun, as Phil started to read the names of the new teams, the members hugging their loved ones before joining a complete stranger in their new allotted spot.
Or an Amazing race Hate to Lovers au
♠️ Nothing But You On My Mind by nonsensedarling / @absoloutenonsense [E, 83k]
Louis Tomlinson is a PR manager hired to improve the image of royal bad-boy Prince Harry Styles. Unfortunately for him, that means being faced with the Prince's constant innuendos, incessant dirty jokes, and relentless flirting. Louis just wants to make it to Princess Gemma's coronation; once she's crowned Queen, his contract is up and he never has to see the Prince again.
♠️ You Drive Me Round The Bend by TheCellarDoor / @donotdialnine [M, 77k]
In which Louis is a spoilt rich kid who’s always on the phone while he drives and Harry is a struggling musician making his way down the mountain. It’s just a matter of time before they crash and burn.
♠️ Don't Want Shelter by @kingsofeverything [E, 76k]
Louis and Harry have known each other all their lives. Friends as children, they danced around each other as teenagers, and have spent the last twenty-five years either screaming at each other or not speaking at all. Except for that one time ten years ago…
When Hurricane Nicole threatens the coast, they end up stuck together in their families' old vacation home that they begrudgingly co-own.
During the storm, and in the months after, they’re both forced to reevaluate their history and what they mean to each other.
♠️ this charade (was never going to last) by @scrunchyharry [E, 68k]
On the surface, CitizenX, an international caritative nonprofit, looked like any other nonprofit, funding humanitarian missions worldwide and striving to make the world a better place, one donation at a time.
At least, that was what Harry thought, until he was hired as a computer specialist for a spinoff agency called carish, whose true purpose was to reveal CitizenX’s tangled web of lies.
As if the whole ‘industrial spy’ business was not stressful enough, Harry found himself in a hatred-at-first-sight relationship with one of his new coworkers, Louis, a man intent on detesting Harry.
When the worst happened and Harry and Louis found themselves thrown together in hiding, with only each other to rely on, Harry never could have predicted the turn their relationship would take.
Nor could he anticipate that it would all be taken away from him and he would have to decide how far he was willing to go to get Louis back.
♠️ Why Can't It Be Like That by @taggiecb [E, 63k]
Louis Tomlinson, head of his local hospital's charity fund, suddenly finds himself in the heart of the Royal family when his mother marries the third son of the reigning monarch. Such an upset in lifestyle brings a lot of changes for Louis, one of them being the need for a stylist.
Enter Harry Styles, a cutting edge fashion stylist who loves his job and prides himself on his passion. The first time he sees Louis Tomlinson on the cover of a tabloid he wants to dress him, style him, make him as beautiful as Harry knows he could be. When he's hired to do just that, he knows this will be a perfect partnership. That is, until he actually meets the man.
A fashion AU with a royal twist, where Louis doesn't need a stylist, Harry's thrilled to have a real life Barbie doll, and they're both very wrong about each other.
♠️ somethin' bout you by @missandrogyny [E, 59k]
Of all the government agents in the world, Louis had to go and land the most charming one.
♠️ Counterbalance by YesIsAWorld / @louandhazaf [E, 44k]
Harry Styles loves two things: teaching ballet and racing motorcycles. Those two worlds collide when his greatest rival on the track, Louis “Tommo” Tomlinson brings his tiny siblings to Harry’s class.
♠️ Full Moon Dreaming by jacaranda_bloom / @jacaranda-bloom [E, 43k]
Every month, Full Moon Dreaming reveals a person’s soulmate. Sometimes it’s an object or a place, or for the lucky ones, the love of their life.
Louis has given up hope of dreaming of a person, resigned to living a life devoid of that kind of all-consuming love for another and receiving the same in return.
But when a new neighbour descends on Louis’ beloved Hanson Bay and moves into the other beach house, could all that be about to change?
♠️ make this feel like home by @soldouthaz [E, 43k]
The house on West 28th Street in London is twice the size of Louis', more expensive than the price of all of his house and car payments combined, and is falling apart at the seams.
♠️ The Truth of Hearts by Rearviewdreamer / @all-these-larrythings [M, 42k]
After rising through the ranks to become one of Hollywood’s most celebrated alpha writers, the world is Harry’s oyster. Louis, another rising star alpha, is Harry’s greatest undoing, in more ways than one.
♠️ Staring Across the Room by @allwaswell16 [E, 26k]
Harry Styles has a great life. He’s a children’s librarian at the New York Public Library, he’s got wonderful friends, and he loves cooking, green tea, yoga, and his collection of bow ties. He doesn’t mind that his life seems a little structured, maybe even a little boring. But when Louis Tomlinson joins the library staff as the new Installation Coordinator, things become a lot less predictable. Louis gets under his skin right from the start, bossing Harry around, making noise during story time, and eating the last cupcake in the staff lounge. Louis may be almost offensively attractive, but Harry will not be succumbing to Louis Tomlinson’s charms, even if the rest of the library staff have.
♠️ Better Walk That (Pap) Walk, Baby by @fallinglikethis, @lululawrence [NR, 25k]
Harry sat and stared at the print in front of his eyes where the names Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles looked to be in neon lights. It made him think back to those early days when all they’d dreamt of was seeing their names lit up on the signs for popular venues. Back then, things had seemed so black and white. Their love had grown as their popularity had, fast and intense and overwhelming. Maybe that was part of the problem. They’d never anticipated having to weave their way through a love so all encompassing at that age, much less at the same time as navigating brand new careers they’d been lucky enough to be a part of.
Harry stared at the papers as if it wasn’t him who had just signed them. He could do this. He could. He could pretend he was still as in love with Louis Tomlinson as he had been all those years ago no problem. He was now an actor in addition to a musician for fuck’s sake, he could make this work.
Or the one where, after years filled with the anger and pain that accompany a bad breakup, Harry and Louis have to try to put it all behind them, at least for the cameras.
♠️ Like Gold by ishiplouis / @pocketsunshineharry [E, 17k]
Harry has been an Adviser for Royal Families since he was 24. From French to Russian families, he has travelled the world and handled difficult situations. That’s, at least, what he believed until a week into his new position as Adviser for his Royal Highness Prince Louis Tomlinson.
Royal AU where Harry is Prince Louis’ Adviser, and Louis is anything but helpful.
♠️ Can't Buy My Love, Can Buy Me Dinner by LadyAJ_13 / @ladyaj-13 [G, 9k]
Is it ethical to accept a dinner date for the free food? And will you hate me when I go anyway?
Fact 1: Louis hates Harry Styles. Fact 2: Louis is temporarily living off toast and spaghetti hoops. Fact 3: ...Louis may be semi-accidentally dating his worst enemy.
♠️ What a Difference a Day Makes by phdmama / @phd-mama [M, 3k]
Louis makes a squinched up angry face at the name. Harry. Fucking Harry Styles. They’d been in the same RA group as freshmen and when Louis’d made a perfectly tasteful penis joke, Harry had made… well probably exactly the same face Louis is making now and suggested that Louis was… something. Louis can’t even remember, but he knows that whatever it was that Harry said he was doing, he wasn’t doing it. He loves penises, for crying out loud! They’ve been nemesises? nemesies? ever since.
♠️ Stole My Heart by @haztobegood [NR, 2k]
“Oh my god, Niall.” The door slams shut as Harry rushes into the flat. He’s still panting from his rush to get away from the scene of his crime. “You won’t believe what just happened!”
Niall is sitting on the couch in their tiny living room. He looks up from his laptop. “What happened?”
“The worst thing. I’ll never recover. I just reached into a box of free samples outside that new chicken restaurant. Only it wasn’t free samples. It was a man. Holding a box of chicken nuggets. His chicken nuggets. I stole this man’s food, Niall!”

Feels Like Magic
A Buddie Urban Fantasy AU
Rated: T | Buddie | Chapter: 2/9 | 4.2k Updated Weekly on Wednesdays
Eddie hates that modern society has gendered the word ‘witch’. Witches aren’t all women, wizards aren’t all men, warlocks aren’t ‘just male witches’, and sorcerer isn’t just another term for wizard. He also hates that he can’t be publicly mad about it because as progressive and accepting as L.A. is, there are still rules and regulations in both the supernatural community and in the regular human society.  When he had left El Paso he had been a little worried about leaving behind most of his magic community, but he was more worried about what would happen to him if he stayed. His parents, though well meaning, weren’t exactly supportive of the way he wanted to raise Chris and how he wanted to teach Chris about magic, how he wanted to make sure Chris didn't lose touch with the kind of magic that Shannon had given him. He knew his parents thought it was odd that Chris exhibited both witch magic and druid magic, knew they wanted Chris to focus on honing his witch powers, but Eddie didn't want his son to lose that part of his mother, even if she had left them behind.  He knew he needed to leave for himself and for his son. He needed to leave even if that meant only having abuela and Pepa as his support network to start . He knew, from them and from basically every other supernatural person he had met, that L.A. was more progressive in a lot of ways, but especially in terms of the supernatural. In fact, Pepa worked for the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs, the department that ensures that supernatural issues are taken care of and that the supernatural stays safely hidden in plain sight. Plus, Pepa had lived in L.A. for over 30 years, she had an in with the community there that most people could only dream of. So Eddie left El Paso and didn’t look back.

Mike knows there’s something wrong when he climbs through the apartment window. He has a sixth sense about these things, he always has. You’ve told him in the past it’s subconscious cues, his brain picking up things that he isn’t even aware of.
He was supposed to stay away tonight. He was meant to go home and go to bed, sleep for eight hours and then wait for a phone call to tell him that you were on your way to L.A. He’s already two hours late. He can’t help but picture you sitting on the bed, checking your phone, waiting for him to come and take you away. He hoped you didn’t think he’d abandoned you. That’s what drove him here tonight, he couldn’t be someone else that failed you. He thought it wouldn’t take much to shove you over the edge, you were already walking a thin line.
He saw it in the constantly refreshed whisky bottle in your kitchen, the cheap tumbler that always seemed to reside on your draining board. He didn’t know how much of a problem it was but he suspected you were using it to help you sleep, to cope with the shit you were going through. He’d spoken to Chris about it when he’d made the call changing plans. She’d had a similar problem after her friend Erica had died, he knew she’d get you the help if you needed it.
It’s the smell that hits him first, the sharpness of cheap liquor and the stench of copper. It’s overwhelming, it floods his nostrils and leaves a metallic taste on his tongue. It’s a bad sign he knows it. It makes his heartbeat pick up its pace, his hand goes to his gun as he straddles the windowsill.
Your holdall still resides on the bed, unzipped with clothes spilling out of it. He realises that you must have started to unpack once he’d missed the rendezvous time. You thought he wasn’t coming and that breaks something inside of him, because he knows you think that he’s abandoned you too.
There’s an apprehension in his chest, he feels it tighten as he slips into the bedroom, glass crunching underneath the sole of his boot. It’s the label he sees first, it reflects in the light from the street lamp outside. It’s part of the whiskey bottle, the brand he’s seen in your cupboard. The rest of it is smashed into pieces, he sees a splash of crimson on a jagged shard, a couple of hairs clinging to it. They’re too short to be yours, a different colour. He looks at the rumpled sheets beside your holdall and he doesn’t like the image in his head.
There’s a bloody palm print on the wall beside the bedroom door, it stains the yellowing walls like a fucking beacon and it makes him sick to his stomach because he knows it’s yours. He remembers the first night the two of you compared hand sizes, wrapped up in his sheets, your naked form draped over his, as he cradled you close. His thumb tracing over the tattoo on your wrist before you flattened your palm against his. He had smiled at the notion, his fingers caressing yours before he’d entwined them and brought your hand to his lips. You’d laughed as his lips had brushed over your knuckles and it was a magical sound, one that reminded that he was a lucky son of a bitch…
He resists the urge to reach out and touch it, to trace his fingers over the imprint. It’s impractical he knows that but it’s a part of you, of your life force. He doesn’t know if you’re alive, he suspects it. If they’d wanted to kill you, they would have simply left the body here to be found. He wants that to be a good thing, but he knows in their world, it never means anything good. It means agony, it means torture, it means someone taking you apart piece by piece to get the knowledge they seek.
Fuck he doesn’t want that for you, he doesn’t want any of this. He wants you home with him, secure in his arms, safe from the vicious world outside. His attention’s drawn to the smear of red on the doorframe, it’s at head height, yours. Mike has a good six inches on you in that department, he knows how perfectly you fit against him, you’re the ideal size for his lips to brush over your hairline.
He thinks the perp you hit with the whiskey bottle caught up with you here, smashed your head into the wood. You’d gone down after that, there was more blood on the beige carpet and then streaked up the wall. You’d tried to get up, only to be knocked back down again. He didn’t know what happened after that.
The chain wasn’t on the apartment door, not like it usually was when you were in here alone. He suspected there had been a gun involved, that was the only way the perp could have kept you compliant.
The air rushed out of his lungs, his chest constricting. There was a pressure in his head, building and building. He could hear the roar of the ocean in his ears, torrent and violent as if it as crashing against rocks at the bottom of a cliff. There were black spots speckling his vision, he leaned against the wall for support as bile climbed his oesophagus. His breath sounded ragged and harsh in the silence of the apartment. His eyes were fucking burning, he could feel the tears prickling like a thousand needles as he dug his fingertips into the edges of his eye sockets in an attempt to stop them.
You didn’t need his fucking tears right now. You needed him fucking feral.
You needed him kicking down doors, shaking down anyone that had a fucking clue to where you might be. You needed his ferocity, his tenacity, his fury and his passion. He could feel that anguish becoming something else and it stoked the fire in his belly, fuelling his rage.
If he had to burn down the whole fucking world looking for you he would, that was a fucking promise.

Frank Sinatra's self-inflicted tough-guy-party-animal-Rat-Packer image was not only childish and tiresome, it belied the fact that he was well-read, thoughtful, and a committed free thinker. In this 1963 interview with Playboy magazine, Sinatra speaks frankly (sorry) about the hypocrisy and dangers of "the witch doctor in the middle"--his term for organized religion.
Playboy: All right, let's start with the most basic question there is: Are you a religious man? Do you believe in God?
Sinatra: Well, that'll do for openers. I think I can sum up my religious feelings in a couple of paragraphs. First: I believe in you and me. I'm like Albert Schweitzer and Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein in that I have a respect for life — in any form. I believe in nature, in the birds, the sea, the sky, in everything I can see or that there is real evidence for. If these things are what you mean by God, then I believe in God. But I don't believe in a personal God to whom I look for comfort or for a natural on the next roll of the dice. I'm not unmindful of man's seeming need for faith; I'm for anything that gets you through the night, be it prayer, tranquilizers or a bottle of Jack Daniel's. But to me religion is a deeply personal thing in which man and God go it alone together, without the witch doctor in the middle. The witch doctor tries to convince us that we have to ask God for help, to spell out to him what we need, even to bribe him with prayer or cash on the line. Well, I believe that God knows what each of us wants and needs. It's not necessary for us to make it to church on Sunday to reach Him. You can find Him anyplace. And if that sounds heretical, my source is pretty good: Matthew, Five to Seven, The Sermon on the Mount.
Playboy: You haven't found any answers for yourself in organized religion?
Sinatra: There are things about organized religion which I resent. Christ is revered as the Prince of Peace, but more blood has been shed in His name than any other figure in history. You show me one step forward in the name of religion and I'll show you a hundred retrogressions. Remember, they were men of God who destroyed the educational treasures at Alexandria, who perpetrated the Inquisition in Spain, who burned the witches at Salem. Over 25,000 organized religions flourish on this planet, but the followers of each think all the others are miserably misguided and probably evil as well. In India they worship white cows, monkeys and a dip in the Ganges. The Moslems accept slavery and prepare for Allah, who promises wine and revirginated women. And witch doctors aren't just in Africa. If you look in the L.A. papers of a Sunday morning, you'll see the local variety advertising their wares like suits with two pairs of pants.
Playboy: Hasn't religious faith just as often served as a civilizing influence?
Sinatra: Remember that leering, cursing lynch mob in Little Rock reviling a meek, innocent little 12-year-old Negro girl as she tried to enroll in public school? Weren't they — or most of them — devout churchgoers? I detest the two-faced who pretend liberality but are practiced bigots in their own mean little spheres. I didn't tell my daughter whom to marry, but I'd have broken her back if she had had big eyes for a bigot. As I see it, man is a product of his conditioning, and the social forces which mold his morality and conduct — including racial prejudice — are influenced more by material things like food and economic necessities than by the fear and awe and bigotry generated by the high priests of commercialized superstition. Now don't get me wrong. I'm for decency — period. I'm for anything and everything that bodes love and consideration for my fellow man. But when lip service to some mysterious deity permits bestiality on Wednesday and absolution on Sunday — cash me out.
Playboy: But aren't such spiritual hypocrites in a minority? Aren't most Americans fairly consistent in their conduct within the precepts of religious doctrine?
Sinatra: I've got no quarrel with men of decency at any level. But I can't believe that decency stems only from religion. And I can't help wondering how many public figures make avowals of religious faith to maintain an aura of respectability. Our civilization, such as it is, was shaped by religion, and the men who aspire to public office anyplace in the free world must make obeisance to God or risk immediate opprobrium. Our press accurately reflects the religious nature of our society, but you'll notice that it also carries the articles and advertisements of astrology and hokey Elmer Gantry revivalists. We in America pride ourselves on freedom of the press, but every day I see, and so do you, this kind of dishonesty and distortion not only in this area but in reporting — about guys like me, for instance, which is of minor importance except to me; but also in reporting world news. How can a free people make decisions without facts? If the press reports world news as they report about me, we're in trouble.
Playboy: Are you saying that . . .
Sinatra: No, wait, let me finish. Have you thought of the chance I'm taking by speaking out this way? Can you imagine the deluge of crank letters, curses, threats and obscenities I'll receive after these remarks gain general circulation? Worse, the boycott of my records, my films, maybe a picket line at my opening at the Sands. Why? Because I've dared to say that love and decency are not necessarily concomitants of religious fervor.
Playboy: If you think you're stepping over the line, offending your public or perhaps risking economic suicide, shall we cut this off now, erase the tape and start over along more antiseptic lines?
Sinatra: No, let's let it run. I've thought this way for years, ached to say these things. Whom have I harmed by what I've said? What moral defection have I suggested? No, I don't want to chicken out now. Come on, pal, the clock's running

Sidgeno recs if you have them please??
OK SO. here is the full version of the shortened version of my sidgeno fic rec list!! this is shortened from my fics bookmarked as recs on ao3, and is literally my favourite sidgeno fics of all time. please read all of them and feel free to tell me what you think because i LOVE THEM ALL SO MUCH ok
More Things In Heaven And Earth by CloudCover (Unrated, 23.8k)
The hydrophones have been picking up nonsense for the past three days and Zhenya has had it up to here, honestly.
i must have babbled about this fic for a full fucking week to anyone who would listen after i finished it. MERMAIDS. the way their relationship develops over time. the way. the way EVERYTHING. i love this fic with my whole heart
King's Court by hazel_3017 (G, 4k)
“Yes, hello. My name is Sidney Crosby—” Geno’s jaw drops, and when he turns his head back towards the audience, Sidney Crosby, the Sidney Crosby, is standing by the mic, looking up at the panel of players and introducing himself as if he isn’t the best hockey player in the goddamn world. As if he’s not the captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins, and as if they haven’t all played against him dozens of times before. Or, the one where Sid is training in L.A. when the Kings host their Cup Fan Convention. Or, Geno hasn't been playing up to beautiful Sidney Crosby's standards and is appropriately horrified by this.
one thing you might notice about me is that i am an absolute sucker for fluff like i would do anything for fluff EVER and this fic is SO cute and fluffy and just!! they fall in love. im obsessed w them
Just What Was Rumpelstiltskin Expecting to Do with a Baby, Anyway? by withershins (T, 24.7k)
Turning to a witch to save a loved one's life is one of the riskier gambles a person can take, but it's one that's arguably noble and brave. Falling in love with the witch, though—now that's just foolish.
now if theres any sidgeno fic i have recced more than the first one its this one because OH MY GOD i love this fic so much. like .... the tumblr post its based off of is one of my favourite little blurb posts EVER and withershins captured it PERFECTLY this fic is PERFECT to me..... please read this
Clear Blue Morning by CloudCover (Unrated, 10.4k)
Zhenya is re-looping the hair elastic around Alina's braid when he becomes aware there’s someone standing in the doorway. He glances up, and his hands freeze in place. Sidney fucking Crosby is standing there, looking hesitant, with a half-empty water bottle dangling from one hand.
not only am i a sucker for kid fics i am an absolute SUCKER for single parent/hockey player fics, and this encapsulates my love for that. plus, geno's daughter is adorable in this. i ADORE this fic ive read it like 8 times.
The Magic of His Touch by VelvetPaw (M, 32.8k)
Geno suffers a knee injury at the end of the 2020-2021 season that refuses to heal. A visit to a local witch's shop brings healing and an unexpected touch of magic into Geno's life.   “I want to reduce a little of the heat and swelling so I can get a clearer picture of what’s going on. Do you mind if I cast a small spell?” Sid looked to Geno for permission. Geno bit his lip but nodded hesitantly. Sid closed his eyes and chanted the familiar words softly under his breath. He personally thought of this as his “ice pack” spell since he’d perfected it on himself and his teammates in minors when they got bruised up during games.
ANOTHER WITCH/HOCKEY PLAYER AU like can you tell i love these so fucking much or what. this one is ALSO amazing PLEASE read this like idk how to babble about this fic because im obsessed with everything about it.
you are the one who'd make me lose it all (this) by cinderlily (T, 21.1k)
It starts with a cold. AKA, the fic where they are both journalists, Sid marries Geno for healthcare and there is a metric tonne of feelings.
first of all, i love so much of cinderlily's stuff it was hard to like. pick and choose. but THIS FIC.... OUGHHHHHHH. i love "we're married but not for love for this other thing. no we're not in love. guys. guys please." sort of thing and this does it PERFECT ok im crazy
saving nickels, saving dimes by CoffeeStars (T, 6.3k)
Poor Sidney, is what Geno must think. Poor, poor, lonely Sidney. Unloved, unwanted. What a shame it is, to be the best player in his generation but still be no one at the same time.
ANGST. OUGHHH. fics that stab me in the heart are always the best fics. ALWAYS. mutual pining to the death
Starstruck by Anonymous (G, 3.7k)
The first time Geno sees Sidney Crosby he’s crying into Tanger’s shoulder as Sid learns how to walk again on the big screen.
THIS FIC AGAIN BECAUSE I LOVE IT SO MUCH!! nonhockey/hockey is always gonna be my favourite i swear

Comics this week?
Batman #135 - A shameless exhibition of all the worst trends regarding this Multiverse craze (everything here is meant to make the reader mimic the DiCaprio meme), with a few good bits like Zdarsky showing that killing the Joker isn't going to magically fix Gotham via the Batmen he chose our Bruce to meet. DKR, Arkham, Injustice, Kingdom Come, the DCAU, all Batmen whose Jokers have died but that didn't solve Gotham's problems or even make Bruce happy. My take on the ending is that because Bruce was connected mentally with every Batman he met, just like how Red Mask was connected to every Joker and made even the more harmless ones more deadly, Bruce infected all of the other Batmen with Zurr too. Nice to have Jimenez back on art at least.
Shazam #1 - Shockingly mediocre? Some good character insights, Waid's explanation for why Billy wouldn't just go full Kid Miracleman is a great way of making the Wisdom of Solomon crucial again, and Mora delights as always with the art. But there's no real hook, Billy turning into a big meanie because the sources of his power aren't happy with him, isn't exciting or compelling. Those stakes Waid has talked about bringing to the character need to manifest sooner rather than later. Oh and I think the name change is stupid, "The Captain" is not a better name than just calling himself Shazam.
Joker #8 - Alright even I'm getting bored of Joker's antics in L.A. Feels like the book is just running in place now, and it's no longer amusing me. I'll give it one more issue, mostly because the backups are still funny, but either start explaining what's the deal with the two Jokers or I'm out.
Scarlet Witch #5 - My favorite comic of the week. Solid ending to the two-parter that made Wanda work for her win. I guess that character at the end is Magento's clone Joseph? Don't know what his deal is or why he'd be a good fit for a Scarlet Witch book, my gaps of knowledge in X-Lore betrays me here.
Immortal X-Men #11 - Nice to read a Storm story that isn't just wanking her off as the greatest ever. Of course the X-Fans hated that Ooroo could ever have reason to reflect on her actions. Of course the SoS ending gets undone immediately but at least there's repercussions still with the four infected Council members losing their votes, and Colossus now holding Storm's votes when she's not there. Sounds like they're finally priming to pull the trigger on Colossus being an unwilling double agent.

El Cazador De La Bruja episode 19! Warning, this post is a LONG ONE. This episode was certainly SOMETHING! Don't expect me to talk about anything other than ElliNad because I will not. Not even the cool plot relevant stuff! Want to hear more about the episode? Go to @hydrangeawise's post about it!
SO. Oh boy! Starting off strong with some guy mistaking Nadie and Ricardo for a married couple. Nobody is pleased by this, least of all Ellis for reasons that will become all too apparent through the episode. I'll admit, the moment I saw this I was very hyped up because I could guess EXACTLY what kind of episode this was!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, they get trap tickets to a fancy restaurant and all go together. Sadly the trap involves Nadie and Ricardo sitting together, and Ellis and Lirio sitting in another table. And wow, Ellis does NOT like that at all! There was even a couple behind her being all lovey-dovey, it was not a good time! A compilation below.

The lights start going out for short periods of time as part of the trap, and every time that happens, Ricardo rushes to Lirio to protect her. Nadie... stays at her table, initially pulling out her gun but chilling later on. Ellis doesn't like that either! Poor girl just wishes Nadie would come to her :( Lirio gets sent to eat with the others as part of the trap which, wow, Ellis looks a LOT like a kicked puppy after that. View the second image below.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ellis gets kidnapped by the Girl Posse, and Nadie finally springs into action! It's not like she doesn't care, obviously she does, quite a lot! But this episode is where they make that clear to Ellis! Btw, if you were to take a shot every time Nadie said Ellis's name, you'd probably be drunk by the end of this episode.
Tumblr media
So, shenanigans happen, and they come rescue Ellis from a car that she blows up with her powers, sending her high into the air. Witness the scene here, where we thought for a second that they missed each other's hands, but really managed to grab on! That's peak cinema, always.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
After Nadie pulls her down, they have the following exchange: N"Are you okay?" E"You came for me." N"You dummy. Of course I did.". Ohh, the way Ellis snuggles up to Nadie afterwards... I'm dead. Something about this episode being about Ellis wanting Nadie to come to her, meet her halfway, because she hadn't heard the promises we'd heard Nadie make! She wanted to be more sure of their mutual care!!!! oughhhhhhhh
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So after this, Ellis is VERY handsy with Nadie for the rest of the episode. She literally sprints to grab Nadie's hand and drag her to their car, where she proceeds to cuddle up to her and have the following iconic conversation.
Tumblr media
Here's the shrotened version! E"Do we look like husband and wife?" N"Husband and wife are man and woman..." E"It doesn't matter.". Go girl! She knows what she wants now and that's Nadie!!!! Awesome!!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Side note, L.A. sees all this happen, and boy is he mad about it!
The ending narration is very humorous to me, but I think it also highlights the very overt feelings Ellis demonstrated towards Nadie this episode: "Ellis, the artificial witch, has no capacity for emotions. That report is already a thing of the past." Sure is!

Top 100 Ladies of TV
Looking at old blog posts, many years ago I did a "100 favorite female characters" list, but I have met so many wonderful new ladies now that it is quite out of date and needs a major update to accommodate them. International Women’s Day seems like the perfect time to do so!
Only this time I'm restricting it to TV characters, or I will die of Overwhelm.
NOTE: This list is not in any kind of order, I just wrote them down as they came to mind. I considered alphabetical, but found it was nicer to keep everyone from a given show together. And rather than starting from scratch, I kept as much of the original list as I could and just added newer favorites on at the end, if you're wondering why some of these Very Old Fandoms are clustered at the top.

First Fic Lines
Rules: share the first lines of ten of your most recent fanfics and tag ten people. If you have written fewer than ten, don’t be shy and share anyway.
Tagged by @rubickk7 💚. All of these are MCU but the last. My secret is revealed, btw. I start oneshots with dialogue to skip ahead in the word count... *hangs head*
Tumblr media
Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen (IronStrange) // If I tell you what happens, it won’t happen.
Tony has read those words on his skin over and over so often that he feels like they are indeed etched on his soul, not just his upper thigh. They’re the last words his soulmate will ever speak to him, and sure, he’s grateful they’re not the typical goodbye that seventy percent of the world bears on their bodies somewhere.
Tumblr media
Bet Your Ass (Peter Quill/Reader) // “What is your problem, Quill? By the Gods!”
Tumblr media
Happy Val (Steve Rogers/Reader) It’s all a little ‘While You Were Sleeping’ to you, this absurd crush you have on the handsome lawyer that periodically shows up at the coffee shop.
Tumblr media
The Sacrifice Play (Stony) // “I figured it out.”
The sigh and slow turn Rogers makes to face him tells Tony everything about how close he is to losing his temper. “What have you figured out, Tony?”
Seems that Rogers doesn’t use his first name unless he’s angry, and it’s so close to Howard Stark’s approach to parenting that Tony ramps up even further.
“That witch sent you something that chaps your morals, didn’t she? And I know what it is.” 
Tumblr media
Ephemera (Steve Rogers/Reader) // Your art is different now. Everyone’s is.
The project angers some people, but that’s not your problem. Everyone deals with the decimation their own way, and yours is particularly bare.
Tumblr media
Build Me a Cocoon So I Can Crawl Inside Your Love (Tony Stark/gn!Reader) // Tony’s back from the specialist’s appointment he didn’t want to let you come along for, and he looks really discouraged.
Tumblr media
Plus One (Tony Stark/Reader) // Attending Tony Stark’s 40+1 birthday bash is not what you’d been planning to do when you came to L.A.
Tumblr media
Just Right (Steve Rogers/Reader) // You simply can’t believe this is happening.
Fifteen minutes ago, while you were going over proposed alterations to Sam Wilson’s Falcon suit, a person who looked exactly like Steve Rogers walked through the wall right beside you.
Tumblr media
Animate Objects (Day Eight) (Stephen Strange/OC) // As one of the hundreds of workers who had moved to New York following the alien attack on the city, Amy Cairn had seen more than one absurd thing during those six months of clean-up. Enormous alien carapaces with oddly-glowing, indestructible armor plating? Sure. Literal Star-Wars-style pods that arced through the air until their connection to the mothership was severed? Okay.
Tumblr media
Figures of Speech (Toby Ziegler/OC) // In the grand scheme of things, being in your mid-thirties and in love with a politician twice your age wasn’t the worst of life decisions, but it was close. Especially if you’d never actually met the guy.
Tumblr media
No pressure tags (specifically trying to pick people with multiple fics to be kind, heh), but this is a GREAT way to advertise your fic: @ronearoundblindly @starryeyes2000 @peyton-warren @book-of-baba-fett @sobeautifullyobsessed and whoever else would like to participate!

excuse me did you see LILY ROSE DEPP hanging around palmwood studios? oh no, that was ROXANNE JO LOCKHART , the TWENTY THREE year old ACTRESS who plays MELISSA COLBY on THE ORANGE COUNTY. yeah, you know rumour has it they're - NAIVE, and - SPACEY but their fans all say they’re + OPTIMISTIC, and + TRUSTING. around palmwood studios they’re known as THE MYSTIC. ( CISFEMALE, SHE/HER) ( candice....again )
wanted connections + connections || filmography || pinterest
a brand new kid coming at ya!! meet miss roxanne jo, my fleety little nomad girlie who kinda just fell into hollywood?? all about her story is under the cut!
to say she didn’t have the traditional upbringing would be the understatement of the century. she was born in a trailer park in kansas to preston & delilah lockhart. preston was a traveling circus performer and her mother worked as a psychic. both of their jobs didn’t pay very well, so they spent roxanne’s childhood traveling from state to state, trying to ‘make it.’
they didn’t have much money nor were they very smart people, but wherever they lived -whether it was a trailer park or a seedy motel, was filled with nothing but love. roxanne and two sisters never felt like they had less just because they lacked material things. they learned early on that those things meant nothing in life, what mattered was doing what made you happy.
preston was passionate about making people laugh. from clown, to acrobat even to elephant tamer, he had almost every job possible in the circus and roxanne and her sisters grew up watching him in awe.
delilah was a spiritual woman - a believer in all things mystic, astrological and was a true bohemian and no one latched onto her mother’s ways more than roxanne did.
with how much they moved, they never had a set routine when it came to school, and while they did attend in order to not be taken away by cps, her parents always instilled in them that school wasn’t important and that real life experience was where they really learned.
her father tried to train her in various circus talents, but roxanne was much more interested in her mother’s profession. she loved tapping into spirituality, loved reading tarot cards and giving people guidance and sound advice based on the moon and the stars.
they became known as the traveling witches, and as they traveled from state to state, people began seeking them out, so much so that the family was able to buy an r.v where they ran their psychic business out of.
when roxanne was fourteen, the family got their biggest gig to date and were hired to run a pop up at coachella.
after being approached by a model recruiter, almost immediately, the sisters became a force in the fashion industry. they were able to buy their family a home in l.a, their mother became a psychic medium to all the big stars and their father started his very own circus, getting residencies in vegas and all over the world.
however, they were never people that let the money or fame get to them, and remained incredibly humble, grounded and grateful.
it wasn’t long until other doors of opportunity opened for them and when roxanne was eighteen, she landed her very first role on a cult classic tv show (twin peaks kinda vibes)
acting was never something that came hard to roxanne. she always thought of it as fun, getting to play pretend, to throw herself into another world. her and her siblings had to be creative as kids with the games they played, not having the fanciest toys or video games, and those skills definitely paid off for her.
she grew up watching teen shows the palmwood studios network on the staticy little tv in her family’s r.v, so when the opportunity came to play a role on one of their shows, she jumped at it, wanting to play a character that meant something to kids and teens out there.
she plays the role of melissa colby on the orange county and truly loves every second of her job and is grateful to learn from those around her. she’s a true professional and likes to leave people feeling good after any interaction they have with her.
personality wise: roxanne is a sickly sweet girl with a cute little southern accent who wouldn’t hurt a fly - but if anyone comes for her family or anyone she loves she turns into this giant mama bear and will legit kill for them. she’s very much an open pansexual and is a lover of love, which often times causes her to get burned, but she’s very much a ‘rather have loved and lost then to have never loved at all’ kinda girl and she takes everything as a lesson. she has a great reputation in the industry - known for being a pleasure to work with and everyone around her just adores her because she’s nothing but kind to everyone, even those who have hurt her and may not be the nicest to her. also like...ask her to read ur palms or ur birth chart bc she’s such a witchy little boho girlie she 100% will.

Spuffy style Reading Challenge - #11: Monthly Key Word Reading Challenge
1st month - Last, Kingdom, Girl, Dark, When, Winter, Light, Window:
The Girl Who Courted Death by OffYourBird [NC-17]
Due to a misfortune of genetics, Buffy is never Called as a Slayer. Instead, she grows up in L.A. with a different set of challenges and trials, unaware of the supernatural world. That is, until a chance encounter with the Slayer of Slayers changes her life—and everything afterward—forever.
2nd month - Midnight, Never, Into, Sun, Love, Good, Spell, Search:
Midnight in Rome by Dusty [R]
It'll take more than death and a fiery apocalypse to keep them apart now.
3rd month - End, Fall, Loud, Queen, Woods, Nine, Beautiful, Crown:
Till the End of the World by slaymesoftly [R]
A short future fic, in which circumstances have kept Buffy and Spike apart for many years, but as the world slips into decline, he seeks her out.
4th month - Race, Now, Chose, While, Stop, Burn, Red, One:
Let it Burn! by Axell [Adult Only]
Her eyes followed the blood. Summers blood. She counted the drops. Ten. Then it stopped. If Dawn dies, I’m through. I don’t want to live in a world if these are the choices. Slowly, her head rose up. Their eyes met. Green and amber. A look passed between them then a nod. Her own voice echoed into her mind. I’m counting on you. To avenge her. Us. He made a promise. Until dusk will swallow them all.
5th month - Thorn, Catch, Black, Under, City, Cloud, Sing, Legacy:
Catch by Holly [PG]
Someone asked him once how long it had taken, falling into sync with her.
6th month - Sea, You, Hate, Perfect, Shade, Until, Beach, Little:
Future Perfect by Sigyn [R]
“I only show the truth,” the creature said. “The truth of the future. How you feel about it is all your own.” “What future?” Buffy demanded. “What are you talking about?” The demon smiled. “You’ll see soon enough.”
7th month - Star, Next, Infinity, Iron, Word, People, Rise, Clear:
Angel's People Skills by lex_hex [G]
Willow endeavors to teach Angel how to people. This is thwarted when Angel discovers Buffy and Spike have registered at Bed, Bath & Beyond.
8th month - Breath, Case, Hundred, Day, Happy, Language, Stay, Lie:
Midnight Chicken and Other Recipes Worth Living For (A Slayer's Guide to Moving Forward and Being Happy) by talesofstories [PG-13]
Spike is back in Buffy's life, and now they get to build a life together, a life that can be whatever they want it to be.
9th month - Bright, Here, Out, Life, Strange, Rule, Story, Salt:
Letting It Out by MaggieLaFey [G]
After the events of A Trip to the Store and Turning the Tables, Buffy is FINALLY ready for the Three Magic Words... or at least, she wants to be. If you haven't read the other two, just know that Buffy and Spike have been together for a while and have had intense (but fun!) experiences of the bedroom kind.
10th month - House, Bone, Haunt, Body, Blood, Witch, Murder, Mystery:
I Fought the World for Your Hand (Give My New Body a Chance) by williamthebloodied [NC-17]
On a scale of 1-10, Buffy’s idea for her Halloween costume this year probably fell on a precarious 5. It could be great, doing everything she hoped and more for both she and Spike. On the other hand, it could easily fall down the wrong side of the slippery slope into majorly bad, rehashing things best left demolished in the past. Also, recycling ideas was not the best look. But, if it worked the way she envisioned, with a hope and a prayer…it would eclipse that concern. or Buffy dresses up in 1870s fashion for Halloween and a whole lot of love ensues.
11th month - Many, Boy, River, Fever, Down, Gold, Jade, Hill:
Down the Road I Go by Megan_Tam [NC-17]
A Slayer. A vampire. A 1959 DeSoto. Spike kidnaps Buffy and heads back to Brazil in a misguided attempt to appease Drusilla. What starts out as revenge turns into an experience neither will forget. If they don't kill each other first.
12th month - Still, Cabin, Cafe, Night, Lake, By, Holiday, Fire:
Melting Fire by Freecat [R]
Set right after Dead Things. The night after, all he wants is talk. The night after, there’s nothing she wants less than talking. And suddenly they find themselves in another dimension; one that Buffy can’t leave. There’s only one way to get her out. A way with consequences.
