best vs. worst sleep - nate sewell x f!detective (twc)

author’s note: thanks to the anon for the two-part request, i went less literal with this one compared to the other best vs. worst prompt fills i’ve written. hope you all enjoy! copyright: all characters, except the oc detective, are owned by mishka jenkins @seraphinitegames. series/pairing: the wayhaven chronicles – nate sewell x f!detective (cassie knight) rating/warnings: 14+; none based on/prompt: best vs. worst prompts // 4. best sleep vs worst sleep word count: ~1k

worst sleep

cassie reached for her teacup, willing her trembling fingers to still as the pale green liquid nearly sloshed over the edge. the steam rising from the liquid softly tickled her nose, the warmth drifting over her face at a comfortable pace. she took a long, quiet sip, barely leaving any tea in the cup before setting it back down with a clatter.

she pressed her shaking hands into her lap and squeezed her eyes shut, counting down from twenty and hoping the pounding of her heartbeat in her ears would fade. the migraine in the front left corner of her head began to subside enough that she could open her eyes without needing to squint.

a long, loud sigh escaped her, the sound following the sag of her body as she slumped against the back of her armchair. her eyes fluttered closed, fatigue weighing heavily against her lids. she could picture her fingers twitching against the backdrop of darkness and she opened her eyes again wearily, pulling her knees up and wrapping her arms around her legs.

this was the third night in a row that she woke up in a panic, every nerve in her body screaming for relief. she scratched lightly at the lines of grainy skin between her neck and shoulder, barely visible but permanently reminding her of the nightmare she lived through.

although lately it seemed as though she was still living that nightmare. it’s been months since the encounter with murphy and last she checked he was still in one of the agency’s detention cells, but she still didn’t feel at ease.

it wasn’t as though she was worried or anxious about being attacked again, but she was still processing her new reality. it was one thing to discover that supernaturals existed, but to also learn that she was at the epicenter of that activity in wayhaven was baffling.

in both good and bad ways. and she didn’t even know where to begin.

and then there was the question of nate – kind, poetic, with a genuine hunger for knowledge, and protective nature. someone who would stay by her side and protect her with his life even without her asking.

but he was also a centuries-old vampire who would live for centuries more than she could imagine. not exactly the safest situation for a relationship.

cassie sighed and folded the blanket in her lap, laying it over the back of the armchair before heading into her bedroom. she closed her curtains to try and block out the rays of sun starting to catch in the sky before snuggling under the duvet.

all she wanted was just one night of uninterrupted sleep. was that too much to ask for?

best sleep

cassie rested the heavy book on her lap and pressed her fingers against the back of her shoulder. she rolled her head side-to-side in an attempt to alleviate the tightness of her muscles. there were still several thick books that she wanted to go through before calling it a night, but she couldn’t find an angle comfortable enough that would allow her to read and take notes without falling asleep.

a warm, comforting aroma reminiscent of the first chill of early fall wafted through her nose and she turned her head to see nate holding out a steaming mug in front of her. she closed the book and set it on the coffee table before taking the mug from him gratefully, flushing slightly at the brief touch of his fingers against hers.

the team had made comments to her before about how stoic she was, but sometimes she couldn’t help but smile around nate. at least she knew that he appreciated it.

“thank you,” she said, letting the cinnamon and honey notes linger on her tongue. “this was just what i needed.”

“it wouldn’t do if the town’s detective ran herself ragged and caught a cold,” nate chuckled, moving behind cassie and gently tracing his hands along her shoulders. “i would much prefer it if you were able to rest. i can finish up the research later.”

“it would be irresponsible of me to make you do my work for me,” cassie said, eyes fluttering closed at the feel of nate’s thumb massaging circles at the base of her skull.

she unknowingly let out a pleased hum as he began kneading at the knots in her shoulders where they met her neck, fingers lightly grazing the outlines of her scar. she didn’t register the brief hesitation of his fingers as he hovered over the area, eyes misting over at the memory before continuing with his ministrations.

he knew she hadn’t been sleeping very well or very often lately. the workload from the agency seemed to increase every day and she never complained. but some days the circles under her eyes were a little darker and the lines in her face were more taut than usual.

she smiled a little less on those days. not that she was someone who outwardly smiled often – the team was used to her stoic nature by now, even if it still unnerved some when her expression wouldn’t hint at how she was feeling or what she was thinking – but she was starting to seem more at ease with the team.

nate’s pretty sure he’ll do almost anything to keep her smiling, including brewing a mix of herbal teas and adaptogens that support stress relief and relaxation for the nights she spent in the warehouse. not to mention brushing up on his knowledge of acupuncture and effective massage techniques.

the sound of her heartbeat began to sync up with her breaths – steady and even, the only sound in the stillness. he eased up on the pressure just as her head began to loll to the side into his palm. he leaned over to wrap an arm under her knees and slowly tilted her body sideways along the length of the large sofa until her head rested on the opposite arm.

he tucked a throw blanket around her and settled himself on the floor with his back against the sofa. nate smiled at the sight of cassie’s sleeping face before turning his attention to the tomes on the table.

he’d be more than happy to finish the research on his own tonight.

missing you - featuring nate sewell x detective cassiopeia knight from the wayhaven chronicles (by @seraphinitegames)

thank you @fel-fisk for this adorable piece where Nate goes up to Cassie and hugs her from behind since he’s been missing her. They both look absolutely adorable and Cassie’s stoic, but still somehow warm expression is very in-character.

35. For Cassie and Nate? 💖

thank you anon for the request! sorry if this is a bit rushed :)

author’s note: tried to keep this soft and fluffy even though my first thought was angst. it takes a while for cassie to open up so i picture this as them being in deep romance. hope you all enjoy! copyright: all characters, except the oc detective, are owned by mishka jenkins @seraphinitegames. series/pairing: the wayhaven chronicles – nate sewell x f!detective (cassiopeia knight) rating/warnings: 14+; fluff based on/prompt: The way you said “I love you.” // 35. As a goodbye word count: ~400 summary: nate makes sure he says goodbye to cassie before leaving in the morning.

nate stirred as the streams of early morning fell onto his face. he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes before opening them, pleasantly surprised at the feel of cassie’s head on his shoulder. she had wrapped her arm snugly around his chest, the warmth from her body overheating his side.

the last thing he wanted to do was get up. duty called… but he was rarely privy to cassie’s peaceful, unguarded face even though they had been dating for a while. he accepted she kept her feelings close to the chest and if her heartbeat didn’t reveal her intentions at times, he would’ve doubted whether she reciprocated his feelings many times over.

he glanced at the clock on her nightstand – she wouldn’t have to be up for at least another hour but he was due at the agency in half that time. he wished he could be there when she woke up – to see the sleep still swirling in her beautiful eyes and the smile on her face that was just for him.

that didn’t mean he couldn’t make sure she knew that he was thinking of her and how much he wanted her in his arms when she opened her eyes.

he gently eased his arm out from under her head, placing a pillow underneath to support her neck before climbing out of bed quietly. he really didn’t want to wake her, but he couldn’t help but brush back a lock of her hair that had fallen onto her nose.

he almost chuckled out loud at how she wrinkled her nose at the tickling feeling, leaning in instead to leave a soft kiss on her cheek.

~ ~ ~ cassie’s eyes fluttered open and she glanced at the alarm clock on her nightstand. she still had five minutes and stretched leisurely, enjoying the warm sunlight cascading across her bed. she turned toward nate’s side of the bed, letting her hand hover over where his body would have been. any body heat left behind had long since evaporated, but she still felt like she could feel him next to her.

she noticed a folded piece of paper near the pillow and smiled – it was just like nate to leave her a note instead of waking her up to say goodbye. she carefully opened the note and laid back to hold it above her head and read the words out loud:

goodbye for now, my darling

i love you with all my heart,

your nate

research - nate sewell x f!detective (twc)

day 2 - interruption

author’s note: this is my first time writing nate with one of my detectives, so hope it’s not too weird. enjoy!

copyright: all characters, except my oc detective, are owned by mishka jenkins @seraphinitegames. series/pairing: the wayhaven chronicles – nate sewell x f!detective (cassie knight) rating/warnings: 16+; fluff, some suggestive imagery word count: 1.4k based on/prompt: day 2 – interruption from #28dateswithunitbravo challenge by @wayhavenmonthly summary: nate is distracted by cassie’s presence and decides to do something about it.

research

nate sewell was someone who could spend hours surrounded by books and forget that time existed. he had lost count of how often he would let the hours pass him by over the course of his immortal life, whether it was because he needed to spend long stretches of time awake on missions or because he was immersed in reading. he certainly wasn’t complaining and it was nice to finally have a place of their own and a space of his own where he could forget, for a time, of the realities of his world.

a place to call home.

he had forgotten what it was like. even before he was turned, he was at sea most of the time, and the sea was too unforgiving and unpredictable to be considered home.

nate knew that someday the time would come when they would have to leave wayhaven, returning to a life of travel and missions on end. as long as he was with unit bravo, he knew he could find that sense of home with them. or at least, he thought he did. now he wasn’t so sure.

he looked up from the book he was supposed to be reading to look at the newer, but very much welcomed presence in his life sitting across from him with a large tome and legal pad in her lap and reading glasses that kept sliding down the bridge of her nose, prompting her to nudge them back up.

this was probably the first time that he ever considered a different definition of home. something beyond a place and his family.

not a something, but someone.

the very thought of that someone keeping him from his usual focus.

nate let his gaze wander again to where cassie was sitting on the opposite end of the couch, her auburn hair piled into a messy bun but catching the glow of the lamps all the same, brow furrowed in concentration as she took diligent notes from her reading.

he chuckled, which seemed to bring cassie’s awareness back to the present as she looked up at him curiously.

“what’s so funny?” she asked.

“i don’t know if i ever imagined that i’d be jealous of a tome.” her brow raised in surprise. “here i am, having difficulty concentrating with how intoxicating you are, and you don’t seem bothered at all.”

cassie looked down at the large, oversized sweatshirt she was wearing that completely swallowed her figure, even her legs were tucked into the sweater, before looking back at nate with a quizzical look.

“i don’t think i understand, the only thing currently discernible about me is my face,” she said, innocently, taking off her glasses. however, the smile she couldn’t suppress told him she was teasing.

nate put his book down on the coffee table and slid over to cassie, watching as her eyes widened and smirking at how her pulse had quickened with the motion.

“may i?” he motioned toward the book in her lap, startling her slightly.

she carefully made note of the page on her legal pad before handing the book to nate, watching as he placed it delicately on the table before turning his full attention back on her.

one hand drifted to her thigh, eyes looking into hers to make sure she was okay with his touch. cassie nodded, a flush creeping up the back of her neck onto her cheeks. he leaned closer until he was almost on top of her, eyes flitting between her gaze and lips, silently asking for permission. she nodded again; eyes fixated on the fullness of his lips as they approached hers.

cassie closed her eyes, her focus zeroing in to nate, his lips moving against hers with purpose, gentle but full of want. she was barely aware of their surroundings, completely lost in how he seemed to fill her senses so easily and completely. the warmth of his hand against the back of her head, the tension radiating from his body hovering over hers, and the goosebumps trailing after his fingers as he moved his hand from her thigh to her hips.

her eyes fluttered open as he took a breath before leaving soft kisses along her jaw, working his way down her neck toward her collarbone, teasing aside the elastic collar of her sweater. he worked his way back up to capture her breaths with his lips, the taste of him reminding her of something earthy and woody. or perhaps it was his cologne she was inhaling, and she wondered why anyone would ever need to breathe fresh air.

* * * * * “how much do you wanna bet that they’re getting it on in the library?” felix asked, nudging mason with his shoulder.

mason growled in irritation before taking another puff of his cigarette. “you know how nate is with his books. i really doubt he’d do anything inappropriate in there.”

“i’m willing to bet a weeks’ worth of chores,” felix grinned, at which mason just rolled his eyes.

“you barely do your chores and you don’t do them well. i don’t want you near my stuff,” he grumbled as felix tried to peer around the edge of the door.

he let out a low whistle before clamping a hand over his mouth and moving away from the open doorway. “natey’s got it bad. i assumed he’d hear us, but he’s too busy with cassie.”

normally, mason wouldn’t care but he was curious as to what would make nate willing to potentially defile his sacred space. he moved to the middle of the doorway, not bothering to try to stay hidden, and nodded his head in silent approval at the scene before him.

nate had pulled cassie into his lap, her legs outstretched on the other side of him as they continued to make out, oblivious to their audience.

“what’s going on?” felix asked, once he noticed mason’s shift in demeanor and nudged the older vampire aside so he could see into the library, shoving mason harder than intended in the process.

mason growled and shoved felix back, sending the younger vampire flying into the side table just on the outside of the library door, which went toppling with a loud crash.

nate and cassie pulled away from each other abruptly at the noise. cassie put her palms to her cheeks to try to cool them down while nate glared at him with a look more intense than anything he’d ever seen from him before.

“what are you two doing?” adam asked, arms crossed across his chest.

“nothing,” mason huffed, sidestepping around adam and sauntering away.

felix stood up from where he had landed on the floor. “it was just getting good! we bet that natey wouldn’t do anything inappropriate with cassie in his special library. i was right!”

adam rolled his eyes and sighed, putting a hand on felix’s shoulder and directing him away from the library. “they are doing research, leave them be.”

“uh, if that’s the kind of research we get to do, sign me up for the next assignment,” felix said loudly even as adam nudged him along.

cassie’s ears turned bright red at the implication and she began braiding her hair that had fallen out of its bun while she had been preoccupied with nate to distract from the embarrassment at having been caught like they were a couple of hormonal teenagers.

nate pulled her hands away from her hair and held them in his own, drawing soothing circles with his thumb until the flush in her body from the embarrassment seemed to fade. he flashed her a knee-weakening smile, gazing at her with such intensity that the embarrassing interruption had already faded from memory and all that filled her mind was a desire to continue what they were doing before.

“maybe we should take this to my room. i’d like to do more research,” he murmured. his suggestive tone was not lost on her.

cassie swallowed and nodded, letting nate lead her by the hand, out of the library and to his room, the books and the research they were doing, long forgotten.

Note

42. for your detective and Nate please? 💕

author’s note: thank you for the request, anon! I hope you don’t mind that I kept this short and sweet. hope you all enjoy! copyright: all characters, except my oc detective, are owned by mishka jenkins @seraphinitegames. series/pairing: the wayhaven chronicles – nate sewell x f!detective (cassie knight) rating/warnings: 14+; minimal swearing based on/prompt: dialogue prompts (imagines) // 42. “I’m pregnant” (in bold) word count: ~600 summary: cassie is nervous about breaking the pregnancy news to nate.

five white plastic tests balanced along the edge of the bathroom sink, each reflecting a different brand and logo.

not that those details mattered, other than the fact that they lowered the odds of a false positive.

cassie stared at the row of pregnancy tests, each window mirroring the result from the test before it.

she was going to be a mother.

“shit.”

the expletive left her lips before she even registered the feel of it on her tongue. swearing was certainly a foreign concept for anyone who knew cassiopeia knight. her vocabulary and preferred way of speaking rivaled that of agent sewell’s.

she gripped the edge of the sink until her knuckles turned white, squeezing her eyes shut and trying to push away the panic rising in her throat.

it’s not that she was opposed to having kids.

but she had a plan.

a plan that she had to update not too long ago to account for the supernatural world she now lived in and the fact that the person she wanted to have a family with was an immortal vampire.

she wanted things to happen in a very specific way, starting with securing the safety of wayhaven. only then did she want to make plans for her future with nate, including refurbishing her childhood home for them to settle down in.

after that, she hoped that the natural next step for them would be to get married and enjoy being newlyweds for a while. they hadn’t yet talked about her mortality and whether she would consider turning, but they did want to have kids.

she just didn’t know if she wanted to have a child now, before anything on her list was even close to being done.

a knock on the bathroom door jolted her out of her thoughts. she glanced at her watch, which confirmed that she had certainly been in there long enough that nate would worry.

she let out a sigh before sweeping all the tests off the sink and into the trash. she carefully stitched together a smile on her face before opening the door, tilting her head back so she could meet nate’s warm gaze.

“is everything alright?” he asked softly, leaning down so he could plant a soft kiss on her forehead.

“well, i have news you might want to sit down for,” she said, attempting to smile brightly to set him at ease.

nate frowned in concern, his brow furrowing instantly at the sight of her forced smile, as out-of-character as it was. he followed her away from the bathroom toward the living room sofa.

cassie faltered as she took in the worried look on his face, wondering to herself if he’d be upset at all that this was going to upend all their plans.

just rip the band-aid off, she thought, taking a deep breath and reaching for nate’s hand.

“i’m pregnant,” she said quietly, her lungs burning with the breath she was holding onto in anticipation.

the smile on nate’s face appeared and grew faster than she thought humanly possible – certainly faster than any other time.

“truly?” nate asked, his warm brown eyes seeming to glow in the soft amber light of their living room.

she let out the breath she was holding and nodded, squealing as nate lifted her onto his lap and held her against him.

“i take it you’re not upset this changes our plans?” she asked softly, once the barrage of kisses all over her face dwindled and she had a moment to catch her breath.

he pressed his forehead against hers. “how could i be upset when you have gifted me with life once more, my heart?”

cassie pressed a hand to her lips to suppress the sobs threatening to leave the back of her throat. her eyes welled with tears instead.

from these dialogue prompts (always accepting)

bucket list - all pairings (twc)

author’s note: i woke up one morning with the thought of what would each UB RO do if they found out the detective had a bucket list because they thought they might die soon from all the supernatural activity, and we’ll all have to thank @pearlsandsteel, @kelseaaa, @wayhavenots, and @ohnobbwhatisyoudoing for bullying encouraging me to do this (if you don’t like it, blame them; if you like it, thank them). hope you all enjoy!

copyright: all characters, except the oc detectives, are owned by mishka jenkins @seraphinitegames. series/pairing: the wayhaven chronicles – all pairings (6 detectives) rating/warnings: 14+; minor angst based on/prompt: inspired by the movie a walk to remember word count: ~3.5k words in total (~500-700 words per pairing) summary: the detective has a bucket list of things they’d like to do before they die (these are all canon stories). each pairing is featured in a ~500-700 word drabble.

1. adam du mortain x detective lyra kingston x nate sewell (LT) 2. mason x detective ria knight 3. nate sewell x detective cassie knight 4. felix hauville x detective harley bishop** 5. adam du mortain x detective regina bishop** 6. mason x detective brooklyn kingston**

** the ones with asterisks have little easter eggs / connection to other prompt fills / fics i’ve written for those pairings. bonus points if you can figure out what they are before you get to the end of those!

and tell me which one you liked best / least 👀 (i need to know your angst thresholds for research).

bucket list

1. adam du mortain x detective lyra kingston x nate sewell (LT) (~600 words)

lyra rummaged through the drawer of her nightstand, tossing out old receipts, rubber bands, and other random knick-knacks that she really didn’t need but kept anyway “just in case.” her fingers finally wrapped around a thick card-sized envelope and she yanked it out of the drawer triumphantly, instantly recognizing the pale yellow color and her name written on the outside.

a knock on the door made her spin around and instinctively hide the card behind her back. nate opened the door, leaning casually against the doorway, and smiled gently at her in a way that made her forget she was supposed to be annoyed with him for how secretive he was.

“did you find what you were looking for?”

lyra nodded before walking out into the living room and sitting down on the couch. she patted the seat to her left and nate obliged, sitting close enough that their thighs touched. she did her best to ignore adam from where he was standing just a few feet away. he had insisted on coming with them to retrieve lyra’s belongings, for added protection and since nate couldn’t drive.

“it’s the card my dad wrote for me when i was born,” she said quietly, her usual energy tempered. “it’s been a while since i’ve read it.”

her fingers trembled as she opened the flap of the envelope and slid the plain white card out, the only embellishment being a simple watercolor of a few hydrangeas on the front.

nate hesitantly wrapped an arm around lyra’s waist, moving slowly and watching carefully for any signs that it would be unwelcome in the moment. he relaxed when lyra instinctively leaned towards him, the subtle shift in her body language not going unnoticed by a certain commanding agent from his station by the window.

“will you tell me about it?” nate asked softly, seeming to have forgotten they weren’t alone.

lyra opened the card and ran her fingers down rook’s scrawl-like handwriting. she swallowed heavily to keep the tears stinging her eyes at bay.

“nothing to tell really, he wrote stuff about how much he loved me already and couldn’t wait to show me the world,” she said quietly, her voice breaking. she cleared her throat. “he wrote a list of things he wanted me to experience.”

she grabbed a pen from her purse and proceeded to cross out items on the list, stopping only to circle the last one.

fall in love

nate leaned in closer, running his finger down the list of crossed out words before pausing on the last one and looking up at lyra quizzically.

her throat was suddenly dry. she dropped her gaze towards her lap. “bobby doesn’t count,” she whispered. “that wasn’t love. my dad would want me to be with someone who loves me for me.”

nate tilted her chin up with a finger so she was looking into his eyes again. “i hope one day i could be that someone,” nate murmured, tucking a loose strand of her hair behind her ear.

lyra’s breath caught in her throat and she blushed under his intense glaze. “well, you’re certainly, um,” she paused and glanced away to collect herself, making eye contact with adam inadvertently. her body tensed subconsciously, warring with itself to stay in nate’s warmth and ignore adam’s magnetic pull.

she tore her eyes away from the pained look on adam’s face and forced a smile.

“you make it easy, nate,” she said, her own smile growing genuinely in response to nate’s, despite the soft bitter edge in her voice and how it cut through adam like a knife.

* * * * * 2. mason x detective ria knight (~560 words)

ria clutched a crumpled up note in one hand and a lit cigarette in the other, the thin paper disintegrating rapidly as she inhaled deeply, letting the smoke burn the back of her throat and lungs until she couldn’t take it anymore. her head fell back against the gate as she exhaled, the cloud of smoke stinging her eyes since she refused to close them.

just tell him.

“tell me what?” a gruff voice broke through the haze and made her blink. she hadn’t realized she said anything out loud.

she carefully schooled her features with a look of indifference as she crushed the cigarette under her foot.

“bold of you to assume i was referring to you,” she shrugged, turning to walk the short distance to the warehouse.

mason fell into step beside her, an easy silence settling over them both. ria kept crinkling the paper in her hand with her thumb, crumpling and uncrumpling it over and over again, glancing at it every so often until they were in the living room.

if mason was curious about what was on the piece of paper, he didn’t show it.

“what do you have there, ria?” felix’s eager voice brought ria’s attention back to the present and she inwardly groaned.

felix was the last person she wanted around right now. he was too observant for his own good.

“a bucket list,” she muttered, crumpling the paper inside a tight fist.

“what’s a bucket list?” the younger vampire asked.

ria sighed. “it’s a list that people make of things they want to do before they die,” she said, her voice so uncharacteristically soft that mason almost wondered if he had misheard. “i know my life is in constant danger, so i thought it might help to make sure i write down what’s important to me.”

felix’s mouth parted in surprise, but mason interrupted before he could say anything. “what’s on the list?” he asked gruffly, though not unkindly.

ria gave him a long, hesitant look. “i wanted to show you my dad’s grave. catch him up on everything,” she said, her gaze dropping. “it’s been a while since i’ve gone to see him.”

“name the time and place, sweetheart,” mason said quietly, the weight of his words washing over her and softening her features. he stepped closer to her, even though felix would be able to hear everything he said anyway. “you’re not dying on my watch.”

she swallowed the snarky, defensive retort that sat on the tip of her tongue. “thank you,” she mouthed silently instead.

“is there anything else on your list?” felix asked, stepping closer to ria.

she quickly pulled her hand behind her back and walked past him. “nothing important,” she snapped, tossing the crumpled ball of paper into the trash before heading to her room.

felix exchanged a knowing look with mason and dug the ball out of the trash, carefully uncrumpling it.

“this isn’t much of a list, there are only two things on here,” he said, trying to smooth out the paper so he could read her handwriting.

mason snatched the paper before felix could read the rest of it, skimming over the words himself, brows furrowing tighter before he let it drop to the floor. felix picked it up as mason stormed out of the warehouse, reading the only other thing that ria had written on her bucket list:

tell mason i love him.

* * * * * 3. nate sewell x detective cassie knight (~600 words)

cassie grabbed a tissue from the box on her coffee table, wiping her tears furiously as the credits of the movie they had finished watching began rolling on the screen. nate turned off the television with a smile, wrapping an arm around cassie and pulling her closer until she was practically in his lap.

“i thought you’ve seen this movie before,” he teased, rubbing his hand soothingly up and down her arm.

cassie elbowed him playfully. “don’t judge me. i love the book but the movie always gets me, especially when he helps her finish her bucket list.”

“i can honestly say i prefer the book,” he said, genuinely surprised to see this side of cassie.

he hadn’t seen her this at ease in a long time, maybe ever. she looked comfortable and content, despite her puffy eyes and red nose, all of which he found absolutely endearing.

“the nathaniel sewell, connoisseur of historical tomes and vintage novels, read a nicholas sparks’ romance novel?”

it was cassie’s turn to be surprised.

things were still relatively new between them, but not for lack of effort. the steady stream of missions and supernatural activity in wayhaven kept them both far too busy for comfort. and when they weren’t on missions, she still had a lot of work at the station and nate always had mission-related paperwork and research to do.

it shouldn’t have been a surprise that there wasn’t much they knew of each other when it came to personal quirks and guilty pleasures, but nate wanted to know more.

nate’s gaze dropped at cassie’s inquiring look. “i—um, dated someone a while ago who really enjoyed his books and i thought reading them would help.”

he could almost see the gears turning in her head as her eyes narrowed thoughtfully.

“i could see why you might think it would make someone fall in love with you,” she said finally, a wistful distance settling into her eyes. “bobby liked to compare himself to noah calhoun from the notebook.”

nate felt his entire body tense and he had to clench his jaw to keep from violently flinching. just the thought of that reporter and how he had mistreated cassie was enough to make his blood boil.

“you said you liked the part where landon helps jamie with her bucket list. do you have one?” nate asked, trying to turn the conversation back to a safer topic.

cassie’s eyes widened slightly in confusion before she realized what nate was doing and gave him a grateful smile. “i do, actually. i’ve been meaning to update it,” she said, reaching for a leather-bound journal resting on the coffee table and flipping to a page in the back.

“may i?” he asked, noting the flicker of hesitation darkening her green eyes for a fraction of a second before she nodded.

nate took the journal from her and skimmed the list. it mostly comprised of things he thought were consistent with how thoughtful cassie was, but the second-to-last item stole the breath from his lungs in a painful way.

live to 30

he put the journal down before grabbing both of her hands. “i will do everything in my power to keep you safe, i promise. you will get to live beyond thirty,” he said, his eyes flashing with a seriousness that was rarely directed at her.

“then i will look forward to the day i can cross that one out,” cassie said, giving him a warm smile.

nate felt his breath return to him as cassie settled against his side once more, her warmth reminding him to cherish these rare moments they shared.

* * * * * 4. felix hauville x detective harley bishop (~500 words)

harley scanned the legal pad in front of her, two-thirds of it filled out with various experiences and things she wanted to do sooner rather than later. it took meeting felix and the rest of unit bravo for her to realize that she had become very content and complacent with her life. felix’s enthusiasm for this world made her want to explore and experience things.

but more than anything, hayley wanted to feel alive.

the trappers had become more brazen and the number of close-calls in the past few weeks didn’t sit well with her. she never really had any personal ambition or dreams, but she knew now that she wanted more moments with felix.

she looked down at the list that seemed to keep growing by the hour.

show felix the grotto

take felix camping

learn how to cook one dish

a knock on her door, followed by the sight of felix’s head peeking around the doorframe made her look up.

“hey babe, what are you up to?” he asked, clambering on top of her bed to get as close to her as possible.

“i’m just putting together a bucket list of things i want to do while i still have the chance,” she replied, trying to keep her voice light.

felix lifted his head from her shoulder so he could study her face. she made a point of avoiding eye contact as she held up the legal pad.

“these are some of my favorite spots in wayhaven,” harley said, her finger running down between the numbers three and ten. “i want to make sure that you get to see them.”

“and i can’t wait. but we have plenty of time for that babe,” felix said, wrapping his arm around her waist and tugging her closer. “i promise.”

“but what if we don’t?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. “i want to make sure you don’t forget me.”

truthfully, that was what really had been bothering her the past few weeks. harley worried that compared to felix’s eternal life, hers was not only insignificant, but also incredibly boring.

he gently cupped her face in his hands. “i would never want to forget you. and we’re going to be together for a very long time, okay?”

she nodded and mustered a small smile. “okay,” she said, a warm flush spreading from the touch of his skin on her face through her body.

he gave her a soft kiss before grabbing the legal pad from her hands. “i want to add stuff to the list too. things i want to do with you,” he said, his cheerful energy rubbing off on her as she handed him a pen.

she rested her chin on his shoulder this time, so she could watch as he scribbled a few things near the bottom. they were mostly ideas for different types of date activities, but the last thing he wrote made her lift her head and freeze.

tell harley i love her.

harley looked at felix, stunned, to find him smiling softly at her. “one day, really soon,” he murmured, his eyes shining before his lips enveloped hers in a kiss. and she knew that day couldn’t come soon enough.

* * * * * 5. adam du mortain x detective regina bishop (~570 words)

regina watched adam play with their children from where she was sitting on the porch, pretending that ten-year-old jacques and seven-year-old cecilia were able to pin him to the ground. she smiled as their youngest, four-year-old philip, waddled over and placed a fistful of daisies on adam’s face, before sitting down and rearranging them with a look of concentration on his round face.

she let herself bask in the moment of happiness that she knew would be fleeting, before looking down at the journal on her lap. she pulled out the worn sheet of paper tucked away in the middle, covered in hasty scribbles and crossed-out words on each layer of sticky notes, a bucket list she made years ago and continued to update.

tell adam i love him

get married

build a house by the sea

revive the du mortain line

raise our family together

regina smiled as she quickly skimmed over the crinkled pile of notes, sifting through them carefully so as not to further wear down the adhesive before she got near the bottom and pulled out a bright green-colored sticky note with only one thing written on it. all the other notes in the pile were pink and blue because she had wanted this one to stand out so she could easily find it.

turn?

don’t turn?

decide whether to turn

her smile faded. it hadn’t taken long to work through everything else she put on her bucket list. even the ones that took considerable effort (and really, it was mainly getting adam to come around to having kids), she was able to accomplish through sheer stubbornness and determination. but this last one was different.

regina was afraid to bring it up with adam and she knew he wouldn’t bring it up first. she knew him well enough by now that he would insist that this needed to be her decision and hers alone and refuse to influence her either way. but because she understood him better than he understood himself most days, she also knew that her death might break him and return him to an even darker and more repressed version of himself than before.

a sudden darkness brought her attention back up to meet a pair of wavering green eyes. her gaze flicked past him to note the children still playing together in the yard before meeting his again as he sat down next to her, reaching over to clasp his hand over hers.

“your bucket list?” he asked, with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes.

when he first found out she had created one, under the assumption that she could die at any moment, he was unsurprisingly fearful, and remained simultaneously distant and protective for a long while. it did, however, help spark the conversation between them about having children.

regina nodded. “i still can’t believe i managed to accomplish all the things i’ve written down over the years. i just really have one thing left to figure out.”

adam intertwined his fingers with hers and stroked the back of her hand with his thumb. the small circles he drew seemed to relieve some of the tension in both of their shoulders.

“whatever you decide,” he said finally, a noticeable strain in his voice. “i will respect it.”

“thank you,” she responded quietly, a thick tension sending a chill over them both despite the bright and warm sun and the laughter of their children surrounding them.

* * * * * 6. mason x detective brooklyn kingston (~530 words)

mason leaned against the side of brooklyn’s desk as they turned off their computer and pulled out a loose sheet of paper.

“what’s that?” he asked, curiosity getting the better of him.

things had been relatively calm in town and even though the quiet made adam tense and stern, mason enjoyed the reprieve. especially since it meant that he got to spend more time with brooklyn. they had threatened to quit the team and move out of town not that long ago, but had yet to follow through.

he wasn’t going to question them on it. he had already made it clear that he would follow them to the end.

“a bucket list,” they replied distractedly, not even bothering to look up at him. “a list of things i want to do before i leave wayhaven.”

mason raised an eyebrow. so they were still planning to leave. he leaned over and let his finger land on the sheet, pinning it to the desk.

“this is an ambitious list,” he remarked as he scanned the list of thirty things or so, most of which had been crossed out.

they lifted his finger and swatted his hand away before smoothing out the page. “are you doubting me?”

“i’d never do that, brooks,” he said, pulling a cigarette from his pocket. “come on, i’ll take you home.”

“i’m going to dinner at verda’s and he’ll take me home after. i’ll see you tomorrow,” brooklyn said quickly, grabbing the cigarette from his fingers and tossing it into the trash can under their desk.

“i should make you start paying for those,” he growled playfully.

brooklyn chuckled. “or you could stop buying them. now get going so i can finish up here.”

he smirked and leaned in close enough that they could trace the freckles on his face with their nose if they leaned forward just a little.

“do i get a kiss before i go?” he asked with a smirk on his face, his gaze focused on their lips.

their eyes flicked down to his lips and back up to his grey eyes, the playfulness simmering behind a seriousness that made their breath catch. they tilted their head slightly and leaned forward to press their lips to his, letting his wrap around theirs for a brief second before pulling away.

“goodbye, mason,” they murmured, smiling gently at him, hoping the ache in their chest wasn’t visible in any way.

mason’s eyes fluttered open and his heartbeat thudded in his ears, the sound becoming more familiar each time they kissed. this time, however, brooklyn’s lips felt different and not in any way that he could pinpoint. mason’s eyes searched theirs, confused but unable to figure out exactly why he felt so uneasy.

after a moment, he shrugged and got up from their desk, turning back to nod at them once before heading out. brooklyn’s smile faded and they looked over their list one more time. the few they had left were ones they had planned on knocking out that evening, starting with verda and his family.

they just hadn’t expected to complete the last item so soon:

say goodbye to mason.
