"no hints were dropped" ok not to be that person but here are the hints that were dropped regarding Colin and Trent being gay:

1. Colin mentioning Grindr in a joke

2. Trent touching the arm of a man in the background

Here is one of the hints that Keeley was bi (even though I do believe she's been canonically bi since season 1, but not everyone sees it this way)

1. Her desktop background was in the colors of the bisexual flag

Here were some of the hints that Ted was bi:

1. Bisexual flag colored triangles above his head in the hallucination sequence

2. Inverted pink triangle next to him in that same sequence (and you can't tell me the creators didn't know, when the Homomonument is based on that symbol)

3. Countless (countless!!!) comments about men's physiques ("huge muscular thighs all caked in mud", whistling at a picture of Pep, "look at that head of hair", "he's strong", "he looks like a Rodin sculpture in cleats", etc.)

4. About a man (Higgins) and a woman (Rebecca), he had to say: "that's a crowd I don't mind being smack-dab in the middle of"

5. Him checking Trent out in the pub in 2x07 (his eyes are up there, Ted!)

6. "It could go either way", "I contain multitudes" and other comments in this vein

7. Bi lighting as he entered the Yankee Doodle Burger Barn

8. Giving similar looks to the female waitress and the male waiters in that restaurant (including a waiter in a cowboy costume that looked like he belonged in a gay club, who tipped his hat at Ted when greeting him)

9. "That's cause you were put into a box", "That box ceases to exist today", the box in the hallucination sequence breaking into triangles (as in the bi triangles and the inverted pink triangke), "we've been playing too rigid", "our guys need freedom", "fast, fluid, free, with full support", the "box that one needs to break out of" being a prominent motif in season 3

10. Wishing Beard called him pet names ("Honey, is that an ingredient or something you just called me?")

11. His crush on Pep

12. The connection between Ted and Colin: "my whole life is two lives, really", both wearing orange in Sunflowers, "I just want to kiss my fella" (Colin doesn't say "fella" , but Ted says it all the time), Ted just needs to get inspired and Colin's play is "inspirational" after he comes out, as per the commentators

And so much other stuff that, had Ted not self-identified as straight (*cough* put himself into a box *cough cough*) , you could make the case that he was canonically bi.

Here are some of hints that there was a romantic connection between Ted and Trent:

1. They hit a lot of romantic beats, and not in the jokey self-aware way in which Roy and Ted hit them in "Rainbow", but in an organic and sincere way

2. They both checked each other out: Trent checked Ted out when Ted was changing in front of him, Ted checked Trent out when Trent came up to him in a pub and hit him with a pick-up line while his date that looked a lot like Ted waited for him outside

3. Did I mention that Trent was on a date with a moustachioed man who dressed in a similar style to Ted? Let's mention it again

4. In that very bar, during a 50 second long conversation, Trent managed to say the word "love" three times. I searched the word "love" in the transcripts of the episodes. There's no other instance in which its frequency is this high

5. "Love our chats" incomplete rule of threes

6. "Sport, it's quite the metaphor" (implied: a metaphor for love; see also "love's a beautiful game" from the song Ed Sheeran wrote for Ted Lasso), "Also makes for a heck of a nickname", "Good night, Ted", "Good night, sport"

7. The soft, romantic, melancholic song playing in the background of this scene, while Ted and Trent are the last ones left in the office, with lyrics such as "When your words begin to crumble like the sidewalks all around this crummy neighborhood / From the chalky cliffs of Dover / I'd come over, I'd start over if I could"

8. Trent wearing sunflower colors in the episode "Sunflowers" and in the finale; sunflowers symbolize Ted's home (it's not subtle). He's the only character dressed like that. I'm still looking for any other explanation other than "Trent is Ted's home"

9. Their constant flirting and the way they look at each other with incredible fondness

10. The entire episode "The Strings That Bind Us". It's structured around Ted and Trent's relationship, and the way Trent changed because of Ted (in season 2, Ted defined a soulmate as someone who changes your life forever). The red string metaphor. Ted points out that soulmates are connected by a string tied to their little fingers. Ted and Trent both extend their little fingers out in similar shots. They are connected by a huge block of red in their last scene of the episode. Ted makes several comments about other men that apply to Trent ("Look at that head of hair", "Frames his face nicely", "My favorite one, he was clean shaven"). Many more details that lead back to Ted and Trent: Nate tells the restaurant owner to tell Jade he said "Hello". Immediately after, Ted and Trent say "Hello" to each other. The map that Nate's father used to ask out his mom has the number 1.3 written on it and an illustration of two people at a table in a restaurant. Ted and Trent went to a restaurant together in season 1, episode 3. The last scene of the episode mimics a "Race for Love" scene from a romcom, with Trent chasing after Ted. Trent also does not say a word to anyone other than Ted in the entire episode. He is completely focused on Ted

11. "Trent, what do you love? Is it writing?" and Trent ends up writing a book about Ted and naming the manuscript after Ted and he only cares about Ted's opinion on it (he leaves the room when Beard starts reading, but stays in the office after hours just to watch Ted read. "I just wanted you to like it.")

11. Trent's crush on Ted, confirmed by Jimmy Lance (and also obvious in the show, if you ask me)

Now, why would I believe that none of these hints were intentional? Maybe some could be explained away, but all of them? The hints we got for Colin, Trent and Keeley were so much smaller than this, and those turned out to be intentional.

anon i wish i could offer you the response you deserve, but i cannot stop rereading this masterpiece & focusing on the portions of evidence you provided that i didn't even pick up on until you laid them out. holy shit

#IM LOSING MY MIND????? HOLY SHIT #anon you provided a THESIS STATEMENT #kissing you on the forehead & sending you flowers & baking your favorite bread #ted lasso #tedtrent #tedependent #trent crimm #there's also the casablanca references between them #& the way in amsterdam trent says there's a van gogh museum night. and where does ted wind up? at the van gogh museum looking at sunflowers #their arcs are foils too. both got divorced around the same time. both have one kid (ted has a boy and trent has a girl)#trent left his wife meanwhile michelle left ted #trent is happier post-divorce meanwhile ted struggles with the loss #there's the wizard of oz motif too and who wears red shoes? trent. it's subtle but he wears what look like red heeled shoes #speaking of shoes....the cheetah print motif is also present with trent #'hes our dork' and ted's fond gaze as he watches trent disappear #there's SO MUCH there dude SO MUCH

what did you call me?

katrina gorry x reader

wasn’t planning of making a second part, but people have been asking and gave me some ideas for it.

part 1 part 3

———

After everyone got showered and dressed, they all got back on the coach to the hotel they were staying in, minus you and Harper, taking the rental you rented.

You, Kat, Harper, Charli, and Kyra all went to your wife’s room, the rest of the team did their own thing. You got yourself comfortable on the lounge chair in the corner of the room while the others laid on the beds.

“Okay. First question. How did you guys meet?” Kyra was the first to speak.

“I went to Australia back in 2021 and almost knocked her down. She’s so tiny that I didn’t even see her.”

“Shut up. But she invited me to go with her to breakfast as an apology.”

“Ohmygod! It’s like a literal book meeting. Write a story on wattpad type of meeting. That’s so cute!”

“What’s a wattpad?”

“Okay! Second question. Charli your turn.”

“Who asked who in marriage?”

“Uh, she did.” Kat pointed to you. “It wasn’t extravagant or anything. It was a couple months after Harper was born and she made her wear a little onesie that said ‘Will you marry Mama’ on it. It was so cute.”

The questions kept being asked and Katrina answers them all. Meanwhile, you were falling asleep on the chair, the jet lag catching up to you.

Harper, getting tired herself, carefully slides herself down off the bed and waddling over to your sleeping form. Somehow finding a way to climb onto you on her own, She grabs the hem of your shirt and climbs inside, settling herself on your torso, instantly falling asleep, all while the three Matildas are still having their q&a session.

Charli was the first to notice Harper gone from the bed.

“Oh my. That is so adorable.”

Kyra and Katrina look towards the direction where Charli’s finger points, seeing you asleep with a lump under your shirt.

“I’ve got to take a picture.” Kyra pulls out her phone and snaps a photo.

“Harper loves to take naps like that. Y/N has done skin to skin with her ever since she was born and Harper loves it.”

“They’re quite the duo aren’t they?”

“Yeah. And It’s crazy how we met the day I found out I was pregnant with Harper too.”

“That’s so cute. They both came to you on the same day, and now they’re inseparable.”

In the following days, you stayed in Australia getting to know the team a lot more, getting especially close to Charli and Kyra. The team has a day off today and you really wanted to visit the Australia Zoo and invited Kyra and Charli along.

We’ve just made it to where the cheetahs are, Harper presses herself close to the glass. Kyra and Charli went off to get something to snack on and drink with Kat leaving me with Harper. Minutes later, the three come back with more than enough food and drinks giving your daughter some.

“Here you go, Mama.” Kyra is holding out a bottle of water to you, but you’re frozen. Not knowing what’s happening, she shakes the bottle in front of your face.

“What did you call me?”

“Oh. Uh.” Finally realizing what she said, Kyra stutters a bit. “It’s just you’re Harper’s mom, Harper’s my sister, and you’ve treated me like I was you kid too, like how Mini does and you’ve actually felt like another Mom to me.”

“Me too!” Charli cuts in.

“Aw, babe. Are you crying?”

“No, I have allergies.” You turn away, wiping you eyes.

“Family group hug!”

Your family of three just turned into a family of five and you wouldn’t have had it any other way.

Riding ellies face ! Cuz why not 😋

Warnings: well.. think about it, obviously smut my friendz ! Mdni. ENJOY WHORES 💋

Masterlist

♡I definitely think this woman would BEG for you to sit on her face. Like no questions asked she'd just be like one day, maybe you're doing something, like a chore and she's just mesmerized, looking at your whole body and then she blurts out. "Can you please sit on my face?" Like so casually HELLO?

♡and DUH you were doing it. Who could say no to her pretty face. Not to mention how good I just know her tongue is. I mean she's skilled in literally everything else what can't this woman do (date men) but once you agree she's most certainly picking you up and putting you over her shoulder, carrying you to the bedroom and plopping you down like you weigh nothing. She's eager alright. Eager.

♡Ellie would waste no time into getting you undressed, she'd swiftly then lay on her back ready for you to suffocate her with your thighs. And drenched cunt (I fucking need this bitch in my life are you kidding me rn) She would grip them, forcefully making you giggle at how badly she wanted this.

♡in the nicest way she'd MAKE you sit fully on her face. She'd enforce no hovering. Cuz this woman will eat you out like her life depends on it. "Please use me how you would a chair." ????? SAY NO MORE

♡once you've gotten fully comfortable and taken Ellies word that you will not hurt her you sit down completely on her face, she will close her eyes for a sec enjoying the feeling of how warm it is, how the extra weight on her face and the taste turns her on even more. She's still gripping your thighs and she thrust her tongue into your weeping hole. God she is in heaven, and you're literally the angel that's sending her there.

♡she moans into you at the taste she's indulging currently. She loves it, the feeling of being suffocated by her pretty wife. It's intoxicating to her and she could quite literally die happy as you fuck her face. She needed it all she needed to fully taste you as it runs down her throat. She wanted to make a smoothie so she could savor it forever.

♡she will most definitely move her tongue EVERYWHERE. I just know her tongue is long ok don't even doubt it. She'd go from your tight hole to your clit so smoothly, like shes a lizard. Such an expert. She'd go from an in and out motion with her tongue, to keeping it in you for a sec moving it forwards and backwards, side to side. She'd do it all.

♡she'd loveee the smell, considering her nose will be on your clit, creating more ecstasy for you. Shed have no shame into taking a big sniff. The smell, the taste, this girl's going into a frenzie.

♡don't even get me started on how she's a fucking slut for your ass too. I JUST KNOW IT. She'd squish she'd smack she'd do everything. While grunting and make the most obscene noises into your heat it'd be unbearable. That's when you'll get closer. But she does one last thing that sends you over the edge.

♡you know how she had her eyes closed at the start. They're wide open staring at you, most likely staring at your tits. But she wants eye contact. And if she doesn't get it she will slow down, she definitely doesn't want to, but you desperately need to cum so you look down at her, once she sees your eyes she will smirk against you speeding up to a pace only cheetahs can match. And oh boy that tongue is going fast. Making you see stars as you shoot that oh so yummy liquid in her mouth.

♡she'd be the sweetest sweetheart afterwards, making sure you rest, massaging your thighs from sitting up straight for her. "You were so good for me." She'd say tiredly, lids half closed with a dumb smile, she's still thinking about it. She will dream about it. She was obsessed with you.

#elliewilliams #ellie the last of us #ellie tlou #ellie williams #ellie williams smut #ellie williams the last of us smut #ellie x fem reader #ellie x reader

ALSO not that anyone has to follow the canon or anything (obviously), but I for one am very interested in seeing a potential explosion of inexperienced!Trent fic. The fandom has spent two years imagining Trent being this out, proud, super confident queer elder who's going to take Ted under his wing and either help him through discovering his own sexuality, or spark what was previously just a label he rarely, if ever, acted on. But now we've got a timeline implying the possibility that Trent has only recently come out, leaving us with a character who is perhaps not the experienced queer elder, but a baby gay still figuring his life out - right down to ditching a 20+ year career - in his 40s.

I'm saying that Ted could feasibly be the experienced one here, depending on his own, imagined past. Trent's confident "vibe" might be a new-ish deal courtesy of Ted's influence. Have his outfits gotten more gay as the series goes on because he's been coming into his own identity? Did he buy the cheetah print shoes after throwing away his job for this man??

Trent Crimm after one (1) meal with Ted Lasso: I need to rethink my career and my wife and also my wardrobe.

#Ted Lasso #Ted Lasso spoilers #Trent Crimm #tedependent #okay this is more joke-y than meta-y #but there are possibilities and they're making my brain buzz!

Kitty Energy This Fall/Winter

For this coming season I’m definitely going for that off duty supermodel look. Bombshell curls, doe eyed lash extensions, brown lipglosses and warm toned neutral eyeshadows with a pop of glitter. Layered looks are a must for these up and coming cold months. This years color palette will range from pink, cream, browns and dark denim.

Beauty

Pressed matte powders

Charlotte Tilbury + Patrick Ta are the makeup brand vibes for this up and coming season

Brown lip liners and neutral pink glosses

Long + fluffed lashes. Go for lashes with that seductive cat eye look!

New body butters, face creams, hand creams and face masks that draw in moisture. Weather change can cause dryness + irritation so focusing on products that hydrate is a must!!

French tip nails + toes

Fragrances with warm notes. Ex.) vanilla, cinnamon, spices + cashmere.

Valentino Donna Born in Roma Intense, Dior Poison & Mugler Alien Goddess.

Bellami hair extensions

Hair colors -> blonde, chestnut, deep chocolate brown + jet black.

Messy buns, high ponytails, curtain bangs + sleek styles.

Fashion

Fur coats + fur details that give off trophy wife energy.

Sterling sliver and pretty gold accessories

Bow details

Victoria Secret silk pajama sets + slippers

La Perla and Agent Provocateur lingerie pieces

Tote bags or top handle bags. Find bags with lots of space so you can fill it with travel sized lotion, moisturizer and hand sanitizer.

Knitted cashmere sweaters with a turtleneck to look elegant and cozy.

Velour tracksuits

Fuzzy lounge wear sets + lounge cardigans to wear around the house.

Ear muffs

Pearl + diamond statement pieces

Fluffy slippers

Pink, cream, brown, black + dark denim.

Cheetah and leopard print staple pieces

Small + thick gold hoops

Gloves with a fur trim

Ankle boots + luxurious high heels. Flats for busy days when you’re on your feet like at work.

Essentials

Booked spa, hair and nail appointments

Cozy comforter + blankets

Car maintenance

Snow boots

Invest in bubble bath soaps, bath salts + candles for a relaxing night in.

Buy new calendars, planners + stationary.

Finally, someone sees the Lae'zel cheetah truth. She's spotted. Shes catlike. AND Cheetahs are so genetically fucked it fits with all the crazy shit the mindflayers (and maybe Vlakbitch) did! (also have you heard cheetahs purr? its adorable. Lae'zel is a hybrid of humanoid/cheetah/gecko and I'll never change my mind.

Yesssss, cheetahs and leopard geckos are my biggest inspos for her!!

Cheetahs are such big weird cat dogs they fit her perfectly (lae'zel can purr as a treat) and gith in bg3 just straight up have gecko eyes!

I want to tell you about the Flash arc ever: Rogue War.

We start off in the first issue with a totally normal premise. Zoom had escaped jail and was having a romantic fling with Cheetah. The two of them were running around killing people for fun. So naturally Wally and Diana teamed up to stop this horrifying turn of events. Oh and they're also trying to stop the murders as well. Diana was blind for unrelated reasons and she lassoed Wally so that he could act as her seeing eye dog. It's all very normal.

Anyway, so Captain Cold and Captain Boomerang were all doing in-depth research on the Flash family tree. Boy, can I relate to that. Mirror Master hauled in the Turtle for the crime of being... around? I guess? And Weather Wizard found a note tapped to their door inviting the Rogues to a Rogues fight.

In the next issue the Rogues broke the Trickster out of jail and then they tried to hunt down the corpse of the previous Captain Boomerang. It didn't go so well.

Hartley showed up and kidnapped Zoom's wife which was an ABSOLUTELY BALLSY THING TO DO MY GUY. Speaking of kidnappings, Zoom kidnapped Jay because he wanted Jay to build him a cosmic treadmill.

Then we get our Rogue fight. Captain Cold, Mirror Master, Weather Wizard, Captain Boomerang and the new Trickster vs Wally's best friend (Pied Piper), Wally's childhood best friend (Magenta), Heat Wave and the old Trickster. Someone start blasting the John Cena wrestling music because I associate that with massive showdowns and this is one for the century!

But what exactly was the titular character The Flash doing during all of this, I hear you ask. Well. Wally and Linda spent this issue in the doctor's office running tests and finding out that they couldn't have children. It's all very depressing and we're going to move past it because I won't do the scene justice.

Anyway, so the Rogues were fighting each other and we find out that Hartley's team was working for the FBI. They weren't the ones who had sent the Rogues the note inviting them to a Rogue fight. No, they were just a random, convenient grouping of Rogues who happened to have a bone to pick.

Cut to issue three and Wally was at work. He heard on the news that there's trouble going on so naturally he suits up and heads out. He arrived, in the middle of the Rogue fight, and he had no fucking clue what was happening because there were about nine Rogues duking it out in the middle of the street for no reason.

Now there are three teams. The og Rogues, who want to quell the Rogue uprising and find the previous Captain Boomerang's corpse. The FBI Rogues, who have the previous Captain Boomerang's corpse and don't want to give it up for FBI reasons. And Wally, who would really like them to stop breaking skyscrapers please and thank you.

So they're all fighting and causing just an insane amount of damage to the city when all of sudden the Top shows up out of nowhere and is all "Aha! Rogue fight!!" and suddenly there were four teams in this fight. And that's not all! Turns out the Top was the one who left the note and he had his own Rogue team at his beck and call. Girder, Murmur, Plunder, Tar Pit and Double Down now enter the fight.

There were FOURTEEN Rogues all trying to murder each other and Wally was left scrambling to make sure that they a) don't kill each other, b) don't kill him, and c) don't kill any civilians. Wally did knock out Hartley at one point and then Wally brought him back to his house to crash on his couch which was very cash money of him. Wally was like "go sleep off your bad decisions and we'll talk about this over breakfast ❤️"

But yeah, Wally was straight up not having a good time. Captain Cold killed the Top and shattered bits of his body everywhere, fires were raging because Heat Wave decided to go nuts, both Tricksters were battling it out mid air with acid bombs, ect, ect.

While this is all going on, Zoom's wife found Captain Boomerang's body and he was very much a zombie. The FBI wanted a zombie Captain Boomerang for... reasons, I guess? Cap begged for death so Zoom's wife let him die. Terrible timing though because right when he died the new Captain Boomerang barged into the room. See, the new Captain Boomerang was the previous Boomerang's son and he wasn't happy to see what he thought was a random lady killing his father.

So he threatened to kill Zoom's wife.

Not a great idea.

Zoom showed up and took his wife somewhere safe. That safe place was Wally's living room because it's fucking Zoom and he does whatever he wants.

And now we have five teams. The OG Rogues, the FBI Rogues, Top's Rogues, Wally and Zoom. Why was Zoom on his own team? Why wasn't he fighting with a Rogue group? Well, before Zoom was Zoom, he was an FBI analyst who specialized in the Rogues. He hated them with every fiber of his being. Zoom's main goal was to make Wally suffer but killing a bunch of Rogues was irresistible to him. Plus, they threatened his wife.

This was apparently too easy for Wally though. I mean, fourteen Rogues and Zoom at the same time? Pfft. Come on. So naturally Captain Cold called in Dr. Alchemy to distract Wally. Dr. Alchemy apparently thought 'distract' meant 'brutally beat him' because, by god, the man did not go light on the already extremely beat up and tired speedster.

But that's not enough. No, Cold was like "This is still too easy. Call in the big guns." So they brought out Grodd.

16 Rogues and Zoom versus a man who was bleeding out on the floor. Super awesome and fair fight. You love to see it.

Bart ran in at this point and was all "you never invite me to anything fun, Wally". Because Jay's missing and Wally's at deaths door and Bart learned from Wally that you hide your emotions under a layer of sarcasm at all times. Wally genuinely thanked him for the help and, at the realization that this was so serious that they were abandoning snark, Bart responded with a genuine "you're welcome". In one of my favorite blink-and-you'll-miss-it scenes, Bart and Wally stood back to back, surrounded by Rogues, prepared to make their last stand.

Then Zoom swooped in and killed a few. Zoom said his iconic line "I don't give a shit about the Rogue stuff. This is a speedster fight now." (I'm paraphrasing) Zoom grabbed Bart and threatened to snap his neck. Bart said his iconic line "Do it. You won't." (I'm paraphrasing but not as much as you'd think). Zoom then said his iconic line of "SPKFDVL" (not paraphrasing)

At this point Zoom decided that 16 Rogues and himself was WAY too easy for Wally. So naturally he invited Eobard Thawne to the party. Eobard showed up to the fight fashionably late on a cosmic treadmill. One that had Jay chained to the hood like a dead deer.

We still have two issues left people, so buckle up because it doesn't get less insane from here on out.

The Rogues actually had pretty good survival instincts so they took Zoom's whole "speedster fight" thing to heart and they bailed. They got out of there like rats abandoning a burning building.

Wally then showed the world how smart he was and managed to free Bart and Jay. Wally then showed the world how dumb he was and fought Eobard and Hunter on the cosmic treadmill. They then started time traveling with about as much control and finesse as a drunk driver in a snow storm.

They did a hit and run somewhere in the time stream. Poor Captain Boomerang. He got knocked into the arms of Meloni Thawne in the far off future. (And that's how Bart's brother Owen was born)

Hunter's whole plan here was to take Wally back in time to force him to watch Hunter's previous vicious attack on Wally's then pregnant wife, Linda. This attack was devastating as Hunter's attack caused Linda to miscarry the couple's unborn twins. Hunter wanted to make Wally suffer because Hunter thought tragedy would make Wally a better hero.

Eobard's just there cause he likes fucking with people.

So the two of them hold Wally down to make him watch the worst moment of his life when BARRY FUCKING ALLEN SHOWS UP.

You know. The man who has been dead for years.

You see, Barry was also time traveling because of course he was, he's Barry Allen. While Barry didn't have a single clue about what was happening, Barry saw an adult Wally getting beat up and the man went into a rage. That's his KID goddammit.

Barry did his whole best dad thing and gave Wally a pep talk. Wally, for his part, was pretty chill about time traveling Barry because honestly time traveling Barry showing up wasn't really as uncommon of an occurrence as you would think. Barry then dragged Eobard back in time to kill him (not joking).

Okay we're in the end game now.

Wally kicked the shit out of Hunter and threw him in front Linda, shielding her from Hunter's attack. Hunter flipped out and tried to operate the cosmic treadmill but he fucked up and hurled himself through time. Skill issue.

Wally time traveled back to the present where him, Bart and Jay yelled insults at the retreating Rogues because the Rogues were holding them at Turtle point.

The three made a mad dash to the hospital when they heard news that Linda was Not. Okay. Linda went from not pregnant to nine months pregnant in the span of a second because Wally fucked with time. Linda was in labor and EVERYONE WAS FREAKING OUT.

And that's the story of how the West twins were born.

The End.

i reread hammer of thor and i decided to list out some stuff i feel has been overlooked by the fandom

and stuff that hasn't been overlooked (at all) but i HAVE to mention it anyway. because reasons

also it's not THAT long of a post but it's pretty long so i put a cut there

nobody ever mentions the 'thinking cup' like whyyy

alex fierro the cheetah and weasel :)

"the gender thing wasn't what surprised me. what surprised me was the way my impression of alex had slingshot and the emotions that had stirred up"

magnus mentioning that he had been stuck in one gender his whole life and that it didn't bother him except the way it was worded made it seem like he was unsure about it jsfjfisfidgkgd

i don't think it's overlooked but the scene in which magnus is watching alex eat and halfborn goes "there's no shame in being attracted magnus" and he CHOKES

(not overlooked at all but) HEARTH'S POSESSIVENESS OVER BLITZ <333

(DEFINITELY not overlooked but) "buddy" *proceeds to take hearth's hands in his own*, "what is wrong with my elf" 😭😭

inge being fucking abused by alderman?? she was beaten??? and the iron on the door locks is harmful and extremely painful to hulder??? THAT ASSHOLE ALDERMAN

(in context to inge explaining that alderman kept a patch of wilderness in his backyard bc hulder need wilderness to live and so that he can 'hire' more help) "she said hire. i heard catch" BITCH-

the fucking wergild. i have a lot of thoughts about that and all of them involve alderman dying

also hearth's mom doesn't really seem like much of a good person either? she didn't stop alderman from being abusive towards hearth or the house staff AND she literally just cared about her reputation. maybe she wasn't as bad as her husband but she was still pretty bad (parallels there between hearth and alex)

also parallels between hearth trying to stop alderman from taking andvari's ring and trying to "pull his dad out from a hole deeper than andvari's" and magnus trying to save randolph from falling into the hole in the ground that led to helheim-

hearth and samirah's dynamic?? they've already had a fight and patched up AND were stuck together during the utgard lanes chapters. soooo a lot

also hearth and alex's brief interactions lol

"just, you know, a little respect" "for the girl with the sharp wire? no problem" "there was nothing confusing abt the smile she gave me. it warmed up the office by about five degrees" I LOVE THEM A TOTALLY NORMAL AMOUNT

amir fadlan. AMIR FADLAN EVERYBODY <333

samirah being a girlboss. samirah handling all the stress. samirah trying to show her true self to amir. samirah braving everything put in her way with courage. just samirah <3 <3 (everybody in the whole universe should be in awe of her btw)

the scene in which they're sitting on stanley (the eight-legged horse) and magnus is nervous to hold on to alex but she just takes his hands and puts them around her waist <3

for some reason i had assumed alex had cut magnus's hair for the first time in the woods but no. it was blitz? hm

magnus's casual mention about utgard loki being attractive ajsfjfsi

taylor swift being dwarf music and prince being giant music?? (and that giant named tiny being obsessed with elvis)

an alex speech pattern which isn't much of a pattern but it repeated twice in the book: once she said (in response to hearth signing something she didn't understand. this was around the time when she and samirah revealed that alex would be taking samirah's place) "yes alex. thank you alex for being so brave and heroic." and then the other time (in the end when magnus is visiting her in her room and picks up one of her pottery projects) "no you can't touch it magnus. thanks for asking magnus" idk i just think it's cool

the trophy wife thing. sif deserves better tbh

"a girl who was rocking that wedding dress"

alex straightening magnus's tie or smth and magnus's inner monologue going "she still smells like wood smoke. why does she still smell like a campfire?"

samirah's wedding outfit?? (sounds gorgeous tbh. except for the hood which) also i have a related question. is the hood in place of hijab thing disrespectful? /gen

sif and alex dynamic <3

sif's gifts to hearth (pouch of rowan runes) and alex (golden garrote)

alex and most other shapeshifters make random animal noises and shapeshift to random animals when they're nervous

halfborn's "death and glory," mallory's "kill everyone," and tj's "charge" aksfkfiovdm. and the way magnus just becomes so much stronger when he sees his friends-

the scene at the end of the marriage battle thing when alex is all concerned because she thinks magnus doesn't believe that she was just pretending to be under loki's control and sHE'S TRYING TO CONVINCE HIM AND HE SQUEEZES HER HAND JDFJSFKFK THIS SCENE IS NOT TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH

alex canonically calling magnus "sunshiny" and RESPECTING AND ADMIRING HIM AND HIS HEALING POWERS. they make me weak

samirah and magnus's dynamic is not given enough love. they are figuratively SIBLINGS and that level of closeness is not recognized by the fandom enough

(also not really about the book but. the UK cover of 'hammer of thor' depicts samirah with half of her hair falling out of her hijab. which. who tf designed these covers?? like somebody needs to give them a good throttling)

there's probably more that i don't remember but okay here have this for now :)

#yeah half of these are just fierrochase. don't judge me ok #magnus chase #alex fierro #samirah al abbas #hearthstone mcga #hearth mcga #blitzen mcga #blitz mcga #mallory keen #halfborn gunderson #tj mcga #thomas jefferson jr #amir fadlan #fierrochase #magnus chase and the gods of asgard #mcatgoa #mcga #hammer of thor

Favorite song ( l )

summary ~ to celebrate the new season of obx , all of the cast members decide to go to the club ,drew and y/n have been dating for 3 years going on 4 but they never announced it to their fans , while dancing with eachother they get caught ?.

warnings ~ fluffyyy as heck , intimate kissing , slight neck grabbing , little cussing , implied smut

lmk if i missed anything .

you and drew have been dating for 3 years , you met through mutual friends, and kept in contact, then you joined the obx cast and you grew closer with him, you started to have feelings for him, and one day when the two of you were alone, you told him about your feelings not expecting him to like you back because you only told him to get it off of your chest, but he said he liked you two, so started to talk, and try to feel things out, and after a couple of months you made it official with him.

your relationship with drew beforehand had always been touchy, like he would grab your waist and kiss your cheek, you would jump on him so he could pick you up, you would hold hands with each other , or you would both kiss each others hand, stuff like that, everyone around you could see the chemistry between the two of you, but of corse you and drew were oblivious , and of corse when some pictures of videos of you two doing that, the fans went completely wild

———————————————————————

in celebration of the new season of obx coming out, the cast decided to go to the club as celebration .

you had on a white-ish creme color crop top, shoulders out and the sleeves falling down the rest of your arms , matching with the bottoms that went with the shirt , high waisted flowy dress pants that hugged just the right amount of your curves, matched with an army green bag and, army green heels

and drew wore a white wife beater and to go over it an army green denim jacket and jeans ( you made him match with you )

you and drew arrive together per usual, since you live together, you make your way through the crowd when you spot your friends ( madelyn, madison , carlacia , JD, chase, rudy , and austin ) you go up to them and greet the all, and you begin talking to jd, jd and you are very close , he is your bestfriend you get along very nice and your personality’s just match each others , you give him a hug, and begin talking with him, he was the first and probably the only person you told about your feelings for drew, although all of the cast know that the two of you date now, they had a feeling it was going to happen eventually you and the girls go to the bar, and take a couple of shots, you think your pretty good with your alcohol but your not going to test that today, you take just enough to feel good, but not drunk or tipsy.

all of you head to the dance floor together and you begin dancing and swaying your hips to the beat, then you heard a familiar beat, it was one of you and drew’s favorite songs, it was often played in your sex playlist .. yes you had a playlist for that specific reason, you guys do it about 4-5 times a week, depending on how the week goes, or the mood that you two are in.

“set the cheetahs on the loose . theirs a thief out on the move . underneath our legions view . they have taken cleopatra . run run run , come back for my glory .

you turn around and look at him, he was already looking at you with a smirk on his face, still swaying your hips to the beat , you turn back around and look at him form behind your shoulder, smirking when you see him slowly walking towards you .

“ you know if you keep looking at me while this song is playing we’re gonna leave early “ he whispers in your ear slowly. “ oh yeah .. leave and do what “ you say smirking “ just keep looking at me like that and you’ll find out beautiful “

“ ok ok “ you say between laughs , “ hey handsome “ you say smiling and turning around and facing him, you slowly caress his face with your hand . “ hello beautiful “ he smiles back at you . if you look at him any longer you’re gonna kiss him , so you look away from him not wanting to risk someone recording and posting it.

our skin like bronze and our hair like cashmere . as we march to the rhythm on the palace floor . chandeliers inside the pyramids , tremble from the force . cymbals crash inside the pyramids , voices fill up the halls .

“ even though i already told you , you really look so beautiful “ , you hit him playfully, earning a chuckle from him , you look down getting flustered , “honestly we’ve been dating for so long i would’ve thought you would stop getting nervous from just a compliment”

you roll your eyes at him “your acting like your any better , pretty boy” you smile at the fact that he’s getting nervous now , you giggle at him “see i can make you flustered as well” you say to him, he just shakes his head , the beat of the music is the only thing heard until it continues a while later ,

big sun coming strong through the motel blinds . wake up to your girl for now let’s call her cleopatra .

“i watch you fix your hair, then put your panties on in the mirror, cleopatra. then your lipstick, cleopatra. then your six-inch heels. catch her “

drew sings along with the song never breaking eye contact “ she’s headed to the pyramid, she’s working at the pyramid tonight.” you sing along with him, your eyes never leaving his while doing so, “working at the pyramid, working at the pyramid tonight.” he sings back to you

“pimpin in my convos, bubbles in my champagne, let it be some jazz playing, “ you continue, dancing a little to the beat change.

he slowly moves his hands down lower and lower, giving your ass a quick squeeze, you smack his hand away quickly. he sighs “ what i’m not doing anything” he rolls his eyes, and you quirk your eyebrows at him , “ i can’t squeeze your but , but i can let you sit on my f-“

you slap his arm, thinking someone can hear him . if you were 4 shades lighter you would’ve been red, “ shhh someone will hear you “ you say , he gives you a serious look and says “so.. don’t you think it’s about time we stopped keeping it a secret, i mean we’ve almost been together for 4 years now” he gives you a sad look , and your heart beat quickened , you sigh “ i wanted to tell them but i didn’t want to ask in case you weren’t comfortable, “ you look down,

he grabs your face and makes you look at him, he has a smile on his face looking you deep in your eyes , “ i would never be uncomfortable with letting the world know that your mines, and i’m yours” you smile at him, you continue dancing with eachother until he starts singing again, “you showed up after work i’m bathing your body, touch you in places in only i know. your wet and you’re warm just like out bath water. “he sings along “ can you make love before you go ? the way you say my name makes me feel like i’m that nigga“ you continue after him “ you say it’s big but you take it , ride cowgirl” he says smirking, you feel yourself growing wetter and wetter , legs a little shaky.

he grabs your neck with one of his hands , you stand on your tippy toes as he leans down a bit, when your lips meet, you can feel the lust, need , and want in the kiss , he bites at your lips, trying to get you to open your mouth for him, you take the hint and let his tongue inside, fighting for dominance, his tongue exploring your mouth like he’s trying to memorize it. he lets go of your neck and with one arm he hooks his arms under your but and lifts you up, you yelp not expecting him to pick you up , you relax and wrap your legs around his waist arms still around his neck, he pulls away and you both try to catch your breath “ how about we get out of here .. unless you would like for everyone else to see what i’m about to do to you ” he whispers seductively in your ear

your eyes go wide “ JOSEPH ANDREW “

he spoke so calmly you didn’t know how to react.

you get inturpted by madelyn and JD calling you and drew’s name . “ what if they heard us drew ? “ this makes him laugh “ it least it’s not like last time “ he says shaking his head and smirking , you put your face in your palms at the thought

FLASHBACK

( this is when drew and madelyn lived together and , jd , rudy , chase , madison. came over and you and drew were in his room doing you know what , and you were being extra loud today because he was giving it to you rough…. just how you like it, and when you got done you walked out of the room to be met with horrified looks from everyone, “ you guys are disgusting “ jd pointed to the both of you making a stank face , you were completely embarrassed, everyone else looked at you with scrunched up faces. “ hey don’t look at me it was her being loud “ drew out his hands up in defense, your neck cracked to look at him slapping his arm, “ no dude you both were being loud “ all of the boys say at the same time “ it wasn’t my fault you were being rough “ you said rolling your eyes

“ oh whatever, you know you like it rough better anyways “ he says looking down at you while smirking , “ you guys are absolutely disgusting”maddison says.

END OF FLASHBACK

Starting today off by introducing our 21st colonist, Henry!! Woo! How exciting- and annoying. My colonist bar had to break into two rows on top of each other to handle so many pawns! it won't be a problem for long, don't worry

Henry is a little boy who is of the 'Hussar' xenotype, which just means he's a genetically engineered super-soldier who will apparently develop a dependency on Go-Juice later in life. Hooray for him. He has a wooden foot and lil' bandaids on his face, which makes me think this kid has seen some fights way too grown-up for him. Fortunately, the colonists at Eureka don't believe in sending children into combat, so Henry is free to spend his days learning and having fun.

The first thing Henry did (after putting on a new shirt) was go hang out with Irwin in the school building to learn about melee. For what it's worth, Henry is already the third-best melee fighter in the colony, at the same level as Kawoo, and only beaten by Irwin at level 14 and Connie at level 11.

I think he is going to get along swimmingly with Irwin.

Then we had a drop-pod raid, which I did not think was going to be a problem because there didn't seem to be that many Saurid raiders... But, alas...

I guess someone named "Executioner" would ruin my day, huh?

The problem with drawing the adventures of these colonists is that I get way too attached to them. So, uh... I wrote eulogies. Sorry. They're under here if you feel like reading 'em.

Wendy Marsengill

Wendy Marsengill was killed on the 13th of Decembary, at the age of 27. She is survived by her wife of 1.5 years, Tamarind, by a vast and eccentric family, including her Aunt Kawoo and cousin Andy, and by many friends in the settlement of Eureka and beyond.

Wendy had a fascinating start to her life when she was recruited as a Child Spy. She went on to become a Barber in her adulthood, though, at some point, she ended up on a distant Rimworld and was lost to madness as a Wild Woman. She wandered in this state for some time before joining the Animist Alliance, where she met and eventually married her wife Tamarind.

Wendy was the best cook in the settlement and often was single-handedly responsible for keeping the colony fed with properly cooked food, and nobody ever got food poisoning while Wendy was manning the kitchen.

Some of Wendy's greatest moments include wearing a jester's hat to her own wedding and somehow managing to cement herself as the most Australian colonist in my head based on a single social interaction way-back-when.

Pearl the Cheetah

Pearl was the first animal to join the ranks of Eureka's ever-growing menagerie, not including Rogan the rottweiler who crash-landed with Albina, Brennan, and Irwin.

Pearl landed near our burgeoning settlement in an animal drop-pod, where she was rescued and nursed back to health by Head Researcher Brennan. Pearl decided to stay with us and spent a very long time sleeping on an animal sleeping spot on the rough marble floor of Irwin's ascetic bedroom (sorry, Pearl. You deserved better).

Once Andrei McCarthy joined the colony, it was love at first sight, and he bonded with Pearl almost immediately. She was eventually given a proper animal bed in the room Andrei shared with his wife, Kawoo and their infant son Andy, before Andy moved to his own room.

Pearl was brave, beautiful and very fast, as cheetahs often are. It is a tragedy that I can't draw animals as well as I would like to, or she would have featured far more prominently in all these posts. I'll miss her. She made silly noises when I zoomed in on her sometimes. It's going to be quiet without her.

First | Next | Previous

#rimworld #gracie plays #The Animist Alliance #art #my art #traditional art #rimworld art #unpolished art #tw death mention #tw death #I am very glad to have new colonist Henry #but it does feel a bit like I had to trade one colonist for another #screw you Randy #I'm still (barely) coping with an actual real-life death of a close friend right now haha...#So perhaps I'm taking these Rimworld deaths a little harder than usual #Oh well I'm glad Wendy and Pearl could be around for as long as they were #I am going to miss them a lot #I hope Tamarind and Andrei will be okay :(#I didn't want to draw the actual dying bit #So you just get cute pictures of Wendy and Pearl instead #I'm going to build them the most exquisite tomb...#Near the river I think with the pretty pink almond trees #They'll rest easy there #Anyway #Here's to a cozy day everyone #I hope you're not as sad about this as I am #Or maybe I hope you are as sad as me? I don't know #have a good day nonetheless. I love you all.

My Girl [Chapter 6][Jake "Hangman" Seresin x OC]

Summary: Jake Seresin could be the answer to all of your dating woes. He’s the full package: steady job, mature, dependable, attractive to a fault. The polar opposite of every guy your age and he’s everything you’ve ever wanted in a partner. But there’s one roadblock: he’s a single father to four-year-old Ellie. Jake is looking for a level of commitment you’re not quite sure you’re ready to give, and he’s not willing to bring someone into his daughter’s life who isn’t there for the long haul. And even if you are stepmom material, is Jake ready to let someone back in his life while still mourning the recent loss of his late wife?

Pairing: Jake “Hangman” Seresin x OC [Lawyer Natalie West]

WC: 3K

Warning: Age gap, cursing

Series masterlist here

Please fill out this form here to join my tag list

“Daddy, look!”

Ellie stuck out one tiny hand, pointing to the polar bear that was strutting lazily across the enclosure, an orange carrot sticking out of its mouth. She skipped ahead of you and Jake, pressing her palms against the low stone wall at the edge of the sidewalk, gazing in awe at the giant bear.

She turned around with wide eyes. “It’s huge!”

“It’s a polar bear,” Jake said, stepping forward and brushing his hand over the top of her head. “They usually live way, way North of here, all the way in the North Pole.”

Ellie’s eyes turned into saucers. “With Santa?”

Jake nodded. “Yeah, baby, they’re friends with Santa.”

“Wow.” She turned her gaze back to the animal and Jake smirked at you above her head. You had to stifle a laugh and not give it all away.

It was the third time you were seeing Ellie. Jake had invited you to a park date with the two of them after the Christmas movie night, and Ellie herself had suggested you join the zoo outing, according to Jake.

“Where to next?” Jake asked softly, taking one of Ellie’s hands in his own. “There’s pandas. Or we could go find the bird house.”

Ellie turned and looked up at you. “What animal do you like, Natalie?”

You bent down a little and smiled at her. “I like the cheetahs because they can run faster than any other animal.”

She grinned and then turned back to Jake. “Let’s go see the cheetahs, daddy.”

He nodded and shot you a smile. “Sounds like a plan, honey.”

After the cheetah exhibit, Jake excused himself for the bathroom and while he was away, Ellie persuaded you to share a cotton candy with her. By the time Jake came out of the visitor’s center, Ellie’s hands were sticky with the pink and blue sugar.

“What do we have here?” he tutted jokingly.

You shrugged and shot him a guilty look. “Lunch, I guess.” Jake laughed and looked at his watch. “It’s ten thirty in the morning.”

Ellie looked up at him, blue sugar staining a ring around her mouth. He chuckled and grabbed a napkin from the vendor cart, crouching down to wipe her mouth clean. “OK, just this once, because Natalie said so.”

The three of you spent the rest of the day milling around the exhibits. There was something so joyful about watching Ellie discover the animals. Something to be said about experiencing the world through a child’s perspective. Every new animal sparked so much joy, from the way her eyes lit up to how she did a small clapping and jumping in place in front of the gorilla exhibit. The excited way she tugged on Jake’s hand to show him something.

What you didn’t notice was the way Jake’s eyes lingered on yours, as you bent down to read through the exhibit plaques with Ellie, or trying on furry monkey hats at the gift shop.

During lunch, you listened carefully as Ellie blabbered on about another girl from her daycare, the story following the kind of nonlinear pattern that only children’s tales can.

So at the end of the day, as the three of you exited the zoo, headed for Jake’s Range Rover in the parking lot, you had to hide your shock when Ellie slid her tiny hand into yours. You looked up at Jake, who held her other hand, and then down at Ellie sandwiched between the two of you. It felt like you were holding porcelain, she was so delicate.

Anyone on the outside looking in would think you were a little family.

A part of you wanted it to be true.

***

“Pass the rice?”

Bob leaned over, holding out a paper box of white rice to Phoenix who took it with a smile. The sound of clattering chopsticks and chewing was drowned out by the loud conversation Bradley and Coyote were having.

“No, bro, I am telling you. It’s culs-de-sac not cul-de-sacs! It’s French, man.”

Bradley shook his head. “Ridiculous. Have you ever heard something so ridiculous in your life, Natalie?”

All eyes turned to you and you blushed behind the glass of red wine you had pressed to your lips. When you set it down, you said, “Coyote’s right, sorry to say.”

Coyote grinned, letting out a small whoop, while Bradley grimaced into his plate of beef and broccoli, shaking his head.

Jake leaned over. “Taking sides? Dangerous game, sweetheart.”

You shoved his shoulder lightly and he chuckled, digging back into his plate of lo mein.

Across the table, Ellie sat in Bradley’s lap, quietly chewing on an egg roll. The full dagger squad was crowded around Jake’s formal dining table eating chinese takeout, something that was apparently a Sunday tradition of sorts that you were now privy to.

The easy nature of their friend group was evident the more time you spent with each of them. From the way that Bradley held Ellie casually in his lap, whispering in her ear and making her laugh, to the way Phoenix strolled into the kitchen and grabbed a water glass from the cabinet with ease, like she had done it hundreds of times before. It was intimidating to know that you were walking into something that was so well defined. A communal relationship that had begun far before you had entered the scene.

Ellie slid from Bradley’s lap once everyone had finished eating, and you watched her run upstairs, her small feet smacking on the ceiling above.

“Should we follow her?” you asked Jake softly and he shook his head.

“No, I think I know what she’s doing, she’ll be right back.”

You nodded and he was right, a minute later you heard her light footsteps on the wooden stairs, and the team burst out laughing as she emerged in the dining room wearing a pair of wire glasses with the lenses popped out.

“I look like Uncle Bobby!” she squeaked, running up to Bob and he lifted her effortlessly into his lap, giving her a tight squeeze around her belly.

“You look great, princess,” he said softly. “Where’d you get the glasses?”

“She found them at a garage sale,” Jake laughed. The team turned to her, noticing how the wire frames were too large for her face, slipping down her nose. “And insisted we get them because she wanted to look like you.”

Bob blushed and you could have sworn you saw Phoenix tear up a bit, which she covered by coughing into her paper napkin.

Ellie reached out and nudged Bob’s frames further up his nose and he laughed, copying the motion on her.

Without thinking, you pulled out your phone and took a photo of the two of them, laughing in each other’s arms.

“Alright honey,” Jake said, standing up and circling the table before plucking Ellie out of Bob’s arms and settling her on the ground. “Time for bed. Can you say goodnight to everyone?”

“Goodnight!” Ellie said and the team murmured a chorus of goodnights back to her. It was clear that every single person around the table adored her. They all felt responsible for her.

They felt responsible for Jake, too. Not that they would ever tell him that.

Jake followed Ellie out of the room and up the stairs.

You took a sip of wine and turned back to the table once they were out of eye shot. Bradley shot you a smile. “She’s great, isn’t she?”

“She’s amazing.”

Phoenix nodded. “Listen, I’m not a kids person. Never have been. But when Jake and Lizzie had Ellie, we just all knew she was different. It changed all of our lives.” She looked around. “Made us all realize we’re a bit behind.” There was laughter. “Hey, Mary and I are thinking of having one!” Fanboy said and Rooster clapped him on the back. “Only if we can guarantee she’ll be as well behaved as El, though.”

You chuckled and then a hand slid down your shoulder and you turned, startled, to see Jake standing at your side. “Honey?” he asked softly. “Ellie wants to know if you’d read her a story before bed.”

“Really?”

He smiled and you stood up.

“Are you coming?” you asked.

“She only asked for you, darlin’.”

Upstairs, you spotted Ellie’s open bedroom door and stepped inside lightly. She sat up in bed, legs tucked in, wearing a pair of red polka dot pajamas. “Hi,” she whispered and you smiled, crossing the room and bending down.

“Hi sweetie,” you said softly. “Your daddy said you wanted to read a book together?”

She nodded and held up a small flag book before scooting over, making room for you on the side of the bed. You laid down carefully and Ellie pushed the book into your hands.

“Oh, this is a good one,” you replied, opening The Rainbow Fish. You couldn’t believe she had it, it was something your mother had read to you when you were small.

As you read, Ellie laid back against the collection of pillows. You could sense her growing tired, and when you got to the end, and the Rainbow Fish had given away all but his last shiny scale, you looked over to see Ellie’s eyes were closed, her curly blonde hair partially covering her forehead.

You gently closed the book, edging off the bed slowly so as not to wake her. But as you set the book down on her small pink desk, there was the unmistakable creak of the bed as she rolled over.

“Natalie?”

“Yeah hon?” You turned to see Ellie peering at you through drowsy eyes.

“Will you be here when I wake up?”

“I can be.”

“Good.” She smiled. “It’s pancake day.”

You gave her a grin. “Then I will definitely be here. Go to sleep, sweetheart.”

She closed her eyes and pulled the duvet closer, and you inched out of the room, shutting off the overhead light, pulling the door most of the way closed.

As you made your way downstairs, you stopped near the landing, Jake’s voice cutting through clearly from the next room. You were hidden from sight of the squad in the dining room as you crouched on the stairs.

“Ellie really likes her,” you heard Jake say.

“So do you,” Phoenix added. “I can see it in the way you look at her.”

“Of course I do,” Jake said quickly. “She’s fucking amazing. But that doesn’t stop me from thinking every now and then that she’s going to bolt. She’s twenty six. She doesn’t want to be tied down. She doesn’t want this lifestyle. Eight o’clock bedtimes and back to school shopping and organizing playdates. How am I supposed to compete with the guys her age who can offer her exciting Saturday nights and all I can offer her is a dance class carpool?”

“She’s here, isn’t she?” Bob said. “She obviously cares about you enough to try and fit into your life. With Ellie. With us.”

“But how long until she realizes that she’s bored?”

“Why do you have to assume she’s going to leave?” Bradley asked. “Can’t you just be happy about it, man, and stop fucking yourself over in your mind?”

Jake sighed. You sat down on a step a third of the way to the bottom, curious to hear what he was saying in the comfort of the group, without knowing that you were listening.

“I think I love her,” he said softly. “But I’m not sure if I should.”

***

There was buzzing on your nightstand. You shot up in bed, bleary eyed, and grabbed your phone, sliding it open automatically without even checking who was calling.

“Hello?”

“Natalie?” It was Jake. You rubbed your eyes and squinted at the top corner of the screen. It was one o’clock in the morning. “Honey, are you there?”

“Jake? What’s happening? Is everything alright?”

His voice was muffled, and there was a lot of background noise like he was multitasking. “Listen, honey, I’m sorry to do this, but can I bring Ellie over? They called us, all of us, for a mission and we’re leaving tonight. I have to be on deck in two hours and there’s nobody else I could ask.”

“Yeah, of course,” you said, stepping out of bed and pulling on a robe. “Come over whenever, I’m up.”

“I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this,” Jake said and there was a sense of panic in his voice. “We’ll be there soon.”

The call ended and you made your way to the kitchen, clicking on the kettle and pulling out a packet of decaf tea.

Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang and you rushed for the door, pulling it open. Jake stood with wet hair, Ellie curled in his arms, her cheek resting against his shoulder, a small blanket clenched in one balled up fist.

“Hi,” he whispered quietly, stepping inside and you took the small tote bag he had in his free hand, setting it on the ground. “Nat, I’m so sorry.”

You shook your head. “God, don’t be. I’m glad you called.”

Relief swept across Jake’s face. “She’s pretty sleepy. I tried not to wake her too much.”

You nodded. “I don’t really have a good guest room set up, it functions as my office when I work from home. So you can just put her in my room.” You pointed to the open door and Jake walked in, laying Ellie in her striped pajamas down gently on the right side of the bed. He knew you slept on the left. She opened her eyes and reached out to touch his face.

“Daddy?”

“Hey sweetheart,” Jake said, kneeling next to the side of the bed. Ellie’s eyes roamed over his face and then landed on you hovering behind Jake. “Listen, baby, daddy has to go to work. It’s really late, so you’re going to stay with Natalie, OK? I’ll be back tomorrow night so be a good girl for me and be really nice to Natalie alright?”

She nodded and Jake leaned forward, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her forehead.

“I love you, munchkin,” he said and she smiled.

“I love you.”

Jake stood up as Ellie closed her eyes, rolling over to her side, her back to you. You stepped out into the hallway, shutting the door most of the way closed. He ran his fingers through his hair. “We should be back tomorrow night. I guess tonight, technically. I’m not sure.” He shook his head. “They didn’t really say much. I haven’t flown a mission since Lizzie.” Jake’s hands were shaking as you took them into your own. “I don’t want to leave her.”

You pulled him into a hug, felt his strong arms wrap around you, his lips pressing soft kisses into your temple. “She’ll be fine here,” you said softly. “I promise.”

Jake leaned back, slipping two fingers under your chin, pressing his lips to yours. “I have to go.”

You nodded. He stepped toward the front door, one hand on the metal handle, when your voice stopped him. “What did you mean when you said you weren’t sure you should love me?”

Jake froze, turning around, his green eyes holding yours. “What?”

“At Sunday night dinner. I overheard you say that you thought you might love me, but you weren't sure if you should.” You stepped forward. “What did you mean?”

His mouth hung open. A quiet stillness clung in the air as you waited for Jake to respond. But then his phone rang, and he pulled it out of his pocket, sliding one large thumb over the screen. “Lieutenant Seresin.” There was a pause, and then he nodded. “Of course, Admiral. I’m on my way.”

Jake slid his phone back into his pocket.

“Nat, I have to go. Can we discuss this later?”

In the span of two minutes you felt like you had aged a decade. Instead of your boyfriend dropping his daughter off at your house in the middle of the night, you felt like an exasperated wife on the verge of a breakdown, watching her husband walk out the door mid conversation.

You nodded.

“Yeah, fine.”

Jake leaned forward and pressed his lips to yours softly. “I’m sorry. I’ll call you when I know more.”

And then he was gone, jogging down the steps toward the Range Rover. You grabbed Ellie’s bags and hauled them into the kitchen. Jake had packed the glittery backpack you had given her for her birthday and that made you smile.

So did her tiny body curled up in your bed as you tiptoed back into the room.

You slid down into the covers, trying hard not to jostle the bed or wake Ellie. When you turned to look, she had her blankie scrunched up in one fist, her tiny mouth slightly ajar, her breath even. You laid back and closed your eyes.

You had never imagined having a kid, let alone a daughter. So when Ellie shifted and curled against you, her small fingers spread out on your bare upper arm, the fluttering in your stomach surprised you.

The longing.

It made you hate the fact that you knew Jake was ready to pull the plug on your relationship. A part of you wanted him so badly. Perhaps a bigger part of you wanted Ellie, too.

The gravity of the situation floored you. Jake had up and left Ellie in your care. You didn’t know if he was headed to Florida or Shanghai or a secret bunker in the Ukraine. All you knew was this tiny girl sleeping next to you has nobody else to depend on but you.

For the next twenty-four hours, you were her world.
