#once jamie stops being an asshole

[thetarttfuldickhead]

Getting a little emotional over Colin and Jamie in 3x09, what with that long hug and the “I love you so much, man”. because Colin was one of Jamie’s side-pricks way back when, and that’s different from, say, Sam being the victim of Jamie’s very overt bullying (not that Colin escaped the vicious barbs by being a sycophant; jaundiced worm and everything). Like, the anger you can feel towards someone that did not only treat you badly but also inspired and encouraged your own bad behaviour? Yeah. Sometimes being complicit in the nastiness makes it even harder to forgive.

Yet here they are, and not that much later. And it’s not just them being fine with each other, either, not just them getting along well enough to make do: it’s Jamie saying we got you and then holding and holding and holding Colin after his stellar perfomance in that match, and Colin telling Jamie that he loves him so much. However unequal and destructive it started out, it’s such a great thing for both of them now, and I do love that.

#colin hughes #jamie tartt #colin and jamie both have this sassy himbo vibe #OF COURSE they’d get along like a house on fire #once jamie stops being an asshole #and colin feels confident enough not to just go along with whatever #i am so so interested in how colin navigated jamie’s return #because he was initally among the most angry and vengeful #and i do think that part – though certainly not even nearly all! – of that is him struggling with his own guilt #or distaste of the person he'd once been in part because of jamie tartt #delicious complicated feelings... #3x09 #meta #well for a certain value of meta... #happy midsummer y'all!

WIBTA if I asked my friend to stop joke-insulting me?

I (20X) am a part of a few friend groups, the newest one being a trio of me, Jamie (20M) and Tessa (21F) (not real names for privacy reasons).

I only met them about a year ago more or less through college but we got along fairly quickly. I'm usually more quiet and reserved with new people so for the first few months of me knowing them I was just this kind, polite and quiet kid who barely talked to them (maybe like once a week and even that was about classes since Jamie and I are the same major so we ended up with a lot of shared classes). I'd make sure to always be the ideal friend and be pleasant to make them happy.

But the thing is I am very different when I feel comfortable with people. And over time I got more and more comfortable and felt like I belong with my college friends (I even asked to change my schedule to take almost all of my classes with Jamie). So one day me and Jamie were going to my dorm when I realized my keys are not on my person and I have no idea where they were. Naturally, I panicked and me and him went looking through all of the places I've been to try to find the keys. After about half an hour of running around college he went to grab his phone from his jacket and lo and behold, my keys were there (apparently I asked him to keep them for me while I went to the bathroom). I was so relieved but I don't know what came over me so I just punched him and called him a whore and he looked really shocked for a second but then he just laughed and said I'm a dickhead. And since then it's been pretty much a joking insult war between the two of us, when once we used to call each other smart or cool now it's just saying mean stuff (while not meaning it obviously)

And as much as I have fun joking around with him sometimes I get sad about it because I worry he actually thinks those things (even though he clarified most of the things he says about me are not ment to be taken seriously) and he does still say nice things about me sometimes and we still have serious conversations and take each other seriously but I miss when it was just that because I have plenty of jokes with my non college friends and I was so happy to get new ones because I missed having people to actually talk about stuff with and not just say nonsense all the time.

So I thought about asking him to lay off the insults a little even though I'm the one who basically started it and I still do it a lot myself but every time I just end up feeling bad and wishing I'd just been serious for once. But I feel like an ass because again, I started it and it's unfair to let myself laugh at him and then get upset when he does the same to me. But again I don't really want to laugh at him it just comes out naturally because when I'm comfortable with someone it just happens.

Tessa keeps saying we fight non stop and I know she knows and we all know it's not serious but I just hate that idea even as a joke, fighting. I don't wanna fight I just want a comfortable space to be myself and have people like me and have fun with them.

So would I be the asshole if I told Jamie I don't really like the play fighting anymore even though it all started with me?

What are these acronyms?

23 & 18 from the angst list with jamie !! 🤘😁 love your stories

Angst: 23. “That came out wrong” & 18. "Stop lying to me” w/ Jamie Drysdale

You Want to Breakup?

It was the first away game of the season for Jaime and it ended up being a roadie. They were in New York and then Boston and since Boston was so beautiful in the fall, I decided to go.

I was in contact with Trevor as he was helping me set up a surprise for Jamie so that he had no idea I was coming. Since it was a long flight from Anaheim to Boston, I needed Trevor to keep him entertained enough so he doesn't realize that my texts to him will be limited during the times I am flying.

When I finally landed in Boston, I texted Jamie and told him good luck and that I would be watching. What he didn't know is where I'd be watching from. I texted Trevor next to tell him I had landed and to tell on of the people from the social media team that I would be there in 20 minutes.

I made my way to my seats and watched the game alone until one of the social media coordinators made their way over to me at the end of the third. She brought me down and I waited around the corner from the team at ice level until after he was changed.

When he finally walked around the corner to go towards the hotel, he finally saw me. I guess the real surprise was on me because he just looked at me, without even smiling as I said surprise.

"What are you doing here?" he asks in a more serious tone rather than a happy one I was waiting for

"Oh I-" I felt stupid so I just sat there as my cheeks began to flush.

"Don't be a dick man!" Trevor says punching his chest as he moved past Jamie

"That came out wrong" Jamie says and Trevor gives me a quick hug

"How was your flight?" Trevor asks me as we both ignore Jamie behind him.

"Hate flying but I'd rather be back on one right about now"

"Come on" Jamie says as he walks towards the hotel. I gave Trevor a look that said 'here we go' before following Jamie to his hotel room.

Once we get the the room, I made my way inside and sat on the chair by the window. Jamie followed behind and then sat on the bed.

"Why are you here?" he asks again

"So it didn't come out wrong" I say shaking my head and looking out the window, "You really don't want me here"

"I never said that"

"You certainly are acting like it though"

"I'm just surprised" he says and I roll my eyes

"I came to see you, anytime I've surprised you before you didn't act like this so that is bullshit" I say slightly raising my tone

"I'm not acting different, I'm surprised. I can't help the way I act" he says shrugging his shoulders

"So you want me to leave?" I ask him and he shrugs again as he lays down on his the hotel bed

"Well you are here now, you might as well stay" he says

"Well Trevor made us reservation at a bar down the street for us all"

"I'll stay, you go"

"What's wrong Jamie?" I ask standing up and walking over to him with my arms crossed

"Nothing" he says defensively

"Stop lying to me"

"I was gone for a week, a couple more days you couldn't live without me?" he asks with attitude lingering through his tone, "And don't give me shit, you're the one that took it upon yourself to travel across the country"

I was kind of in shock. Jamie never acts like this. Jamie isn't an asshole, but from what I see from the way he is acting right now, maybe I was wrong about him. I think he realizes that he is being an asshole and he stands and comes over to me

"I'm sorry, let's just go to the reservation that Z made" he says placing a hand on my forearm.

"Actually, I think I'm going to go" I say looking down at my feet as I made my way towards the door.

"Y/n" he says followed by a sigh as he follows behind me and turns me around to look at him before I get to the door, "I am happy you came, I promise"

"Jamie, I'm going home"

"To your hotel room or Anaheim?"

"Home" I say turning

"You want to breakup?" he asks me stopping me as I turn and then facing back towards him.

"No, you do. Now let me get out of your way because I already feel stupid enough being here" I say as I turn back around leaving the hotel room making my way to my room to pack my bag.

In the morning, I went to the airport to change my flight to that morning and made my way back to Anaheim to pack my stuff from Jamie and I's apartment as quickly as I could because he would be home early the next morning.

I packed as much as I could the night before he got back, then ended up falling asleep on the couch. I was woken up around 4am as I felt myself being lifted up from the couch. I look up to see Jamie, and he looks down seeing I am awake

"I'm sorry Y/n. You aren't leaving me" he says placing me in our bed before making his way around and climbing in himself.

"Jam-"

"Shh, can we please just talk about it tomorrow and act like nothing happened just for tonight?" he says and I wrap my arm around him as he pulls me closer to his chest

Hey lovely. Do you think when Sam gets a girlfriend she will be attacked by some fans for being his girlfriend?

Oh, you sweet innocent lamb. The sad answer is YES.

Every woman Sam has dated, including his longest girlfriends, Abbie Salt (1 year 2015) and Mackenzie Mauzy (2 years 2016-2018) have been mercilessly attacked and bullied by Extreme Shippers, who still think Sam and Cait should be, or are together. Extreme Shippers' modus operandi has always been the same when a new woman enters Sam's life: leave hate comments on her social media, create fake accounts attacking her on social media, contact her family, friends, employers, ex-boyfriends and harass them, make up lies, pretend to be someone from their past, and then say horrible things about them. It's LITERALLY the same thing every time. It's like they have a blueprint or something...or they share the same demented brain. Extreme Shippers will deny this, but it is well documented on my blog and other blogs, with CONCRETE PROOF, that identifiable Extreme Shippers have engaged in this terrible behavior. Not to mention, it is also illegal to engage in cyber bullying.

Soooo, given that past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior, I'd say it's 100 % guaranteed that if Sam gets into another serious relationship, they will both be harassed by Extreme Shippers. Luckily, Sam's SANE fans support him, and the women he dates. And we have no problem calling out the assholes in this fandom aka Extreme Shippers.

And I don't hold out hope this assholery will change even after Outlander is over. If you look at other fandoms that have shippers, for example the Fifty Shades of Grey and Twilight fandoms, they still have shippers pining over Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson. And Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, when all four of them are in long term relationships not with their costars. And the Damie and Robsten shippers are STILL being jerks even years and years later.

At least the numbers will dwindle once Outlander is over because there won't be anymore Outlander related events to "swoon" over Sam and Cait being in the same room. But, the truly delusional will never give up. Never. Sad, but true.

Thanks for stopping by, Anon!

A little Grumpy Omega Roy fic

Jamie didn't notice the missed call until he was out of the shower and ready to collapse into bed. Training had been brutal, but it was what he'd expected when he'd gotten the call to play for England.

It wasn't odd for him to have a missed call. Normally it was from one of his agents or a reporter or mostly, his Dad who kept finding new ways to contact him despite Jamie blocking every unknown number flat popped up across his screen.

What was strange about this call was that it was from Roy, and Roy rarely called him. Normally, Roy would spam him with texts despite all of them teasing him about his age. He hated phone calls more than Jamie did, so seeing a missed call without any texts had the alpha growing nervous as he fumbled to call him back.

Roy didn't pick up, and Jamie couldn't help but let out a little whine. Being away from his omega and his child was already a lot, but this had Jamie close to driving to make sure they were both okay.

He was starting to spiral a little when Roy's name flashed up on the screen, and Jamie didn't hesitate answer.

"Roy? Everythin' alright?"

There was silence on the other end. All Jamie could really make out was the faint sound of Roy's breathing. The little hitch in it made Jamie want to whine because he knew, somehow he just knew, that Roy was hurting.

"Babe, talk to me. Has something happened?"

"Jamie", Roy sounded exhausted and sad. It made the alpha want to bundle him in his arms and press kisses to his face until he relaxed but all Jamie could do was grip his phone tight, "Jamie, your dad showed up at the nursery and tried to take Elodie"

Jamie's blood ran cold at those words, so many things bombarded his mind all at once with panic being the main one.

"I'm coming home", is all Jamie could get out. His heart was hammering as he sat up on the bed, already reaching for keys and trying to think of the fastest way back to his family. He needed to be there. He needed to protect them. If he'd been there, Elodie would have been with them, she would have been safe.

"Jamie, Jamie, stop", Roy raised his voice a little and when Jamie growled, the omega growled back louder until Jamie passed, "Elodie is safe. He never even got to see her. Look, turn on your camera"

Jamie didn't hesitate to switch to video call.

Instantly, his daughters image filled the screen. She was snoring audibly. One of her little fists grasped at the shirt Roy was wearing, right over his heart and her little tuft of curls were in disarray as if she'd been asleep for a while now.

Seeing her made him relax. His body sagging as he sat back down on the bed.

"He didn't touch her?"

"He didn't even know she's a she, babe", Roy reassured, "He showed up, gave our names and showed proof that he was your dad. They called me because he's not on the list and when I told them not to let him near Elodie, he threw a bitch fit"

"Thank fuck", Jamie sighed, running a hand over his face and smiling slightly when Roy angled the phone so he could see both of them, "I can tell the coach there's been an emergency"

"No, Jamie. We're okay. We'll see you at the weekend, yeah? Just two more days love", Roy argued back with a glare, "I just wanted to tell you before some asshole got word of your dad's arrest and you'd to find out from Instagram or some shit"

Jamie nodded, biting at his lip as he watched them. His chest aching to be there with them, to scent them both and make sure they were truly okay because he knew Roy was downplaying it to make Jamie comfortable.

"I'll be home soon, yeah?", Jamie whispered, blinking back the tears he felt burning his eyes.

"Yeah love, you will", Roy gave a soft smile but it didn't quiet reach his eyes and from the way Eloide started to grumble, Jamie knew that Roy's scent must be giving away how he really felt.

"Love you", Jamie replied, wanting to burn the words into both of their minds until it stuck.

"Love you too, babe", Roy replied before hanging up and then Jamie was alone again.

And all he could do was wish that they were here with him, safe and sound and within his sight.

I am IN LOVE WITH YOU AND YOUR WRITING😭 anyway I’m back, and of course, asking for more little!james :)) maybe Remus Pete and Sirius were being too hard on him and making him do too much, not giving him any time to relax with his mommy and she finally puts a stop to it and helps Jamie calm down? I don’t know if this makes total sense but I tried HAHA. You’re doing gods work I swear <3 Jamie just needs some love from his mommy (and tits of course)

A/n: IM IN LOVE WITH YOU AS WELL AND THANK YOU<333 AND I LOVE THIS REQUEST SM😭🙏

“Cmon James that was the second time you failed to block Peter form scoring a point!” Remus argued with him. They were all practicing for the big game on Friday but James was feeling a bit little which impacted his skills.

“Yeah James, if you can’t block me how are you gonna block the ravenclaws?!” Peter asked him. “M’sorry you guys! I swear m’ trying!” James tried to defend himself making them groan.

“Who do you two think you are? Acting like you guys weren’t failing to score a point last game.” You argued back causing them to look at the ground in embarrassment.

“But he’s gonna make us lose!” Peter tried to reason with you. “And you almost made your team lose last game as well, you guys were lucky enough that James saved both of your asses, without him you wouldn’t be in the finals.” You spat back shutting any comment from them down.

James blushed before walking right behind you as you left the field. “You didn’t have to do that.” He whispered playing with his fingers. You smirked at his flustered state. “But I did. They were being assholes today because professor slughorn gave them shit.” You replied giving him a kiss on the cheek.

Once you both made it in your dorm and changed from your outdoor clothes you both cuddled in bed. “M’ feelin little mama” he whispered in your ear. “I know baby, want your paci?” You asked him making him shake his head.

You raised your eyebrow in confusion then sighed playfully at what he was hinting at. You weren’t wearing a bra today lucky for him, so you just tugged your shirt down. He smiled before beginning to suck on your tits that brought him so much comfort. God couldn’t explain how much he loves you.

Not proofread so if there’s any mistake please let me know<3💌

Ping! Factory Reset

Major Hollyoaks StarJamie Lomas has no idea why today of all the days in the world feels so odd to him as he rolls from his side on to his back laying in bed as he takes a deep breath.

He huffs out loud as his wife who is in deep sleep checking him out he tosses on to the floor placing his feet in to the slippers a she rose up and stretches for the morning wake up routine.

He shakes his head vigorously doing all of his effort in ignoring the nagging feeling in his head and he enters the bathroom quietly closing the door as he turns to the mirror he looks up.

The grogginess is very apparent as he bent down a bit switching the knob to let the flow of water run cupping in his hands as he is splashing his flashing with water with a sweet cool effect.

He switch the knobs reaching for the rack across from him wiping his face he places the towel on his neck and stare up in to the mirror he catches his handsome face with a smirk.

He uses his right hand to touch his smooth face gliding down with it as easy as a blade so beautiful done with love he falls for his own body and he completely forgets about his girlfriend.

He can’t stop smiling for some reason he is totally consuming his as his lips spread wide, his teeth show so white and a baffle of giggles exit his mouth filling the room up to the brim.

Unable to turn away from his own imagehe saw a man in the mirror freaking out he spun to the side to see no one is actually there and he once he takes a second look at the mirror.

It’s crazy the strange man places a hand on his shoulder meshing his skin with his as the touch which both frighten and titalating all of his senses into a freaky neurological sensation on a transformational level.

“Who…who are you?”

“I am your new Master”

“What? Fuck no!”

“You have no say in the matter “

“Let me go! Release me”

“Fuck you! You want this”

“I do not want….”

“You want what”

“That is not what I said “

“Are you sure?”

“Fuck yes!”

“So you agree?”

“NO!”

“Ugh! Pathetic “

“Asshole”

“Submit “

“I said I do not want”

“What? You do want to submit right?”

“Yes! I do”

“Hah! I knew it”

“How did you do that?”

The man had enough placing the left hand on his shoulder forcing his hands on to the floor in a kneeling position firmly he hand handles him Jamie feels so lost like a young man being handled by a older mature one for sure.

“Listen to me Jaime let go of yourself “

“Release your soul and relinquish “

Ping! A loud excruciating pain clicks in his head swirling through the upper, lower and middle areas of the brain bouncing in pain in the inner chambers of the wall.

“Ping!”

“Factory Reset!”

“Good boi!”

“Mmmmm”

“Who am I? What’s my name?”

The end

[mppmaraudergirl]

I agree that the marauders are great nerds! I

I honestly think the fandom often gets Sirius's personality completely wrong (example: "he's so dramatic" → the most dramatic thing Sirius did was get pissed off in front of the person who betrayed him, his friends and killed innocent upon innocent... Or the fact that he is portrayed as "stupid" when in the books he is described as "brilliant" and has some of the wisest sentences in the saga - so much so that one of his quotes in the films is made to say to Dumbledore). I admit that this deeply annoys me😅. I don't see how anyone can consider themselves a fan of a character if they then completely change them (both aesthetically and character-wise).

However, if there's one thing I'm grateful for in the marauders fandom, it's the change they've made to James' personality! In the beginning he was made out to be a playboy (ad an asshole), when according to what's written in the books the guy was simply lost in love, a bit childish, noble, incredibly loyal (and put a stop to murders against his enemies!).

I have a question I've been wanting to ask you for a while: what do you think of Peter? I know that many people think he was just scared, while others see him as a bit of a demon: curious to know what you think

Thank you very much for your attention 💖

another ask buried in my inbox! I agree with you about Sirius. Frankly, the drama queen characterization gets me to nope out of a fic so fast. One whiff of "Jamie" or "Remi" and that x button and I get intimate real fast.

anyway, this got a bit long (shocking) so adding a read more

I find James' evolution to be interesting! Especially since I've been around (in and out, granted) the fandom for so long. I remember him being a real asshole (and Lily shrill and bossy) in some stories and really aggressive in his pursuit of Lily. There's also the competing complete simp for Lily (never so much as looks at another girl) vs popular jock garnering a lot of attention (and capitalizing on it). I suppose he was somewhere in the middle of both of those, but they're fun to explore in different ways for sure.

(And not to get off topic, but I will say that Lily has had a great transformation, too. She was basically Hermione in early iterations of fic. Or she was so shrill and angry with James that shipping them together, best case, made no sense, and worse case, exemplified a toxic relationship. Granted, when I first started reading/writing Jily, the last two books weren't released and we did learn a decent bit about her after that. Now it's really great to see her written vibrantly, funny, passionate, emotional, and bantering with James which is obviously something I eat up.)

Oh Peter. Honestly, I see Peter as a good strategist. He's really perceptive and that's something he can use to his advantage because he's not often in the spotlight and was easily overlooked. Of course he had insecurities too, especially if he tried to measure himself against Sirius and James and their popularity, accomplishments, etc. To some degree, he went along with what the others wanted to do, even if he wasn't completely sold on it. Eager to be included and not left behind, he learned to become an animagus and he joined the Order, both things he never would have suggested on his own

Do I think he was evil, biding his time, or really pro-LV the whole time? Nah. I'm sure he shared similar beliefs to the other boys and wasn't anti-muggle/muggle-born. I think his descent really came from his insecurities and the loosening of their friendship bond. Between going undercover or going off on missions, the boys living separately after all of that time together, then James getting married and starting a new family unit with Lily, Peter started wavering. And once the cracks started, the right words from the wrong person would have him flip-flopping to the other side. Interestingly, because I have this characterization of Peter, I don't often (ever?) write him as betraying his friends in any of the AU/divergent stories I've written. I think the crushing threat of LV and the exhaustion of fighting are what triggered his betrayal. So in a non-LV word, I think they remain pals.

word count: 1140

warnings?: trevors an asshole

Peaches sat on Jamie’s bed, strumming the acoustic guitar he kept in the corner of his room, while she waited for him to get home from morning skate. Humming the lyrics she had written two months ago, three weeks after they started to meet for coffee. Jamie stood in the doorway, a small smile on his face as he watched the girl. She hadn’t heard him come in just minutes ago. “Whatcha playing?” He asked, causing Peaches to jump and put a hand over her heart. “Jesus Jamie you scared the shit outta me.” She said with a slight laugh, “Just a song I wrote a few months ago.” She shrugged. “You write music?” He was ever so curious, in the two years he’s known her, never once did he know this. She lifts up a tattered leather bound journal, “Yeah, sort of, they’re all in here. They’ll never make it out of here but it’s something I’ve always wanted to do.” Jamie reaches his hand out, asking to look through the journal, reluctantly she hands it to him and watches him skim the pages. Her heart is in her throat when she realizes which one he’s stopped on, at the top of the page it says “for Jamie” above the title means something. “Can you sing it for me?” He asks. She sucks in a big breath, “Um, yeah, I can’t promise it’ll be any good though.” She takes the book out of his hands and sets it in the bed so she can see the pages, Jamie sits down across from her and watches as her finger strum and pluck at the guitar, and then her voice comes, and it’s like he’s breathing unpolluted air, pure oxygen, his heart is beating out of his chest.

I saw your name on a street sign

the middle of nowhere

And that has to mean something

I know your Zodiac sign

Me and Leos get along great

And that has to mean something

But for some reason

You're not here

And I refuse to believe

That means somethin'

*Flashback*

Peaches was driving through the backroads of a small town right outside of Anaheim, watching the way the wind blew the trees. Pulling up to the stop sign at the end of the street she read the street sign, Jamie Ave., she knew it had to be sign. She was just aimlessly driving and somehow she stumbled along a street with his name? It had to mean something. But he wasn’t actually there, it was just a street sign, and he wouldn’t do that to his friend.

I felt the way that you hugged me

When I was broken inside

And that has to mean something

I felt the way that you kissed me

When we got too drunk that night

And that had to mean something (something, something)

*Flashback*

“We’re done Trevor! I can’t do this anymore! This is the last time I walking out. This is for good, don’t contact me.” Peach’s heart was breaking in half, but she kept her face strong, and didn’t let the tears leave her eyes.

“God you act like I actually care! I could have so many other girls, you were just one that stuck around a little too long.” The smug look on Trevor’s face made her want to slap him, but she didn’t. “Fuck you Trevor. I can’t wait until you’re a washed up has-been.” And with that she was walking out of his apartment and slamming the door. The minute she turned the corner she let the sob out, not being able to see through her tears she ran right into Jamie’s chest. “Peach? Hey, Peach, are you alright?” Jamie had his hands on her shoulders, trying to get her to look at him so she could calm down. She just shook her head and sobbed into his chest. Instinctively his strong arms wrapped around her, pulling her closer to him. They sat like that in the hallway for a good 10 minutes before calming down. “Sorry,” she said as she pulled away from him, “I totally just soaked your shirt.” “Hey it’s ok, but are you okay? What happened?” She took in a deep breath, “Trevor’s an asshole, that’s what happened. I ended things for good and he just started talking about all the other girls he can get with and that I overstayed my welcome in his life.” Her eyes focused on her shoes, tucking her ginger hair behind her ears and wiping her face with the sleeves of her sweater. “He’s an idiot. Like the biggest idiot ever. Sometimes I wonder how I’m even friends with him.” That got a laugh out of her. “Yeah, but uh, I guess I'll see you around then.”

Everytime I think too much

It ends up crazy

But don't know how to not think about you

Everytime I trust my gut

I think I'm crazy

'Cause I don't know how to put my trust in you

Do you think it means something

That I wrote another song about you?

When Peach finally looks up she sees the blush on Jamie’s cheeks and the tears in his eyes. “You uh, you wrote that?” His voice was hoarse. “Yeah, I did.” Her voice was soft and bashful. “Peach you are insanely talented. You’ve gotta put your music out there.” She was stunned, no one ever told her pursuing music was a good idea, but her was Jamie, telling her to go after her dreams. “You really think so?” She whispered. He placed a kiss on her lips, resting his forehead on hers, their noses rubbing together. “I do.” And that’s when it was decided, she was gonna do music.

“And hey,” Jamie said, “did that say you wrote another song about me.” A cocky look on his face.

“Yeah it did.” Peach had never had a smile so big.

*Four months later*

pic-ingpeaches just posted!

Liked by jamiedrysdale and 1.3 million others

pic-ingpeaches: music has always been something I wanted to do, it flows through me. With some convincing from Jamie I finally decided I needed to follow this dream.

By the time you got home that morning, you were completely exhausted. You dropped your bag by the front door, not caring where it landed. Then your boots followed quickly after, just like your bag not caring where they ended up. Walking over and throwing yourself over the back of the couch, pulling the blanket down over you as you went. You just let the couch swallow you up. As you were on the cusp of falling asleep, your phone starts going off. You shift to pull your phone out of your pocket, looking at the screen before answering it.

“You better be dying or dead.”

“Well good morning to you too Sunshine.”

“Jamie, it’s not a good time right now.” You let out a sigh. “What did you need?”

“I was going to see if you wanted to get breakfast before both of us went to work. I also wanted to see how the night shift went.”

“Oh, it was great.” Sarcasm was dripping from your mouth.

“Wow. Really?”

“Well, if you call getting myself suspended great, then I had a grand ol’ time.”

“Wait, are you serious?”

“Jamie, I’m tired and I don’t want to talk about this right now.”

“Well either you come with me to breakfast willingly, or I will come into your house and drag your ass out kicking and screaming. What’s it gonna be?”

“I hate you, and I want my key back.”

“I know you do. Yeah, good luck getting the key from me, you will have to pry it from my cold dead hands.” He let out a laugh. “I’ll be there in about five minutes to get you. So, hurry up.”

You hung up the phone, grunting as you got up from your couch and throwing your blanket down. You quickly went to your room to change out of your work clothes. You knew Jamie wasn’t joking when he said he would drag you out. He has done it before; he will do it again. You changed into a pair of joggers and a FDNY shirt just to mess with him. You were pulling on your socks when you heard your front door open and Jamie yelling.

“Y/n!” There was a slight pause, before you heard him stumble and curse. “Son of a bitch. Y/n, why didn’t you pick up your damn shoes. Y/n! Don’t make me have to come find you.”

You just laid back on your bed, closing your eyes and rubbing your hands over your face. You heard footsteps heading towards your room, they stopped in your doorway for a second before they came to a stop in front of you.

“You are not wearing that to breakfast.”

You open up your eyes to see him pointing to your shirt. You just closed your eyes and let out another sigh.

“Then I’m not going.” You crossed your arms like a child who was pouting.

You heard him walk away for a second, thinking you had won. Which was a short-lived dream when he came back, he pulled you up into a sitting position, causing you to let out a squeal and open your eyes. Only to have him pulling a hoodie over your head.

“Jamison! Stop it!” You struggled against him, to no avail. Once it was on you looked up at him, with an angry pout. “I am not a child.”

“Then quit acting like one.” He laughed at you.

You stood up and walked out of your room towards the front door. As you did, you looked down at the hoodie. It was Jamie’s old Harvard sweater that he got when he had gotten accepted. He lent it to you one day when you forgot your jacket, and it just never found its way back to him. He never asked for it back, so you just held onto it. At this point if he did ask for it back you wouldn’t be able to give it back.

The two of you left your house and got into Jamie’s car. There wasn’t much conversation, just comfortable silence. You were tired enough that you had started dozing off on the way. Once he pulled up to the curb of your favorite breakfast spot you were completely out. Jamie got out and walked to the passenger side door, slowly opening it not to wake you.

After all of these years, you really should have known better than to fall asleep around Jamie or any of the Reagan siblings for that matter. Jamie leaned in slightly and started screaming and shaking you. Your eyes shot open, screaming yourself. You looked over to see Jamie laughing so hard as you are clutching your chest.

“You’re an ass.”

“Oh, that was so funny.” He got out in between laughs.

He was hunched over with his hands on his knees, not caring that there was quite a few people staring at you. You got out of the car and pushed Jamie, knocking him on his ass.

“Hey!” You stood there just looking down at him. “You just assaulted a police officer ma’am.” He was up in a second.

“You have been a police officer all of two seconds.” You cocked your eyebrow at him. “Besides you wouldn’t arrest your best friend.”

“Are you sure about that?” He was right in your face, trying so hard not to smile.

“Yep.”

“How so?”

“I have friends in high and low places buddy. You don’t want to mess with me.”

“You’re such a dork.” He smile breaking out along with a chuckle. “Come on, let’s go eat and talk about how you got suspended.” He threw his arm over your shoulder as he pulled you into the diner.

Diana greeted you as you both walked into the diner.

“If it isn’t my two favorite troublemakers.” She had a big grin on her face.

“I’m not the troublemaker, she is.” Jamie pointed at you as the two of you sat down.

“What? I am not. You are a hundred percent the troublemaker out of the two of us.”

“No, you are. I’m not the one who got suspended.” He had a big grin on his face.

“What!?”

You gave Jamie the dirtiest look you have ever given anyone. You could feel her eyes starring you down, and it is not a feeling you want to have. Ever since you were young, Diana has been a big part of your lives. The two of you would come in here quite a bit with your families or even just each other. She practically watched the both of you grow up.

“Dude. Why would you say that in front of her?” You whispered harshly. Your eyes haven’t left Jamie’s, in fear of what would happen if you looked over to Diana.

“Y/n, what happened?” You looked up at her slowly, with a shy grin on your face.

“I punched another paramedic in the face.” You said quietly before looking down. “Then I slammed him into the back door of the truck.”

“Woah! What did he do to piss you off?”

“Why would you do that?” She asked while hitting you in the arm.

“Ow! We had a call for a car accident right at the end of our shift. He wanted to take a child away from his mother right after it all happened. He was going to traumatize that poor kid. Then he had the audacity to bring up my mother, then I flipped out on him. I punched him in the face and slammed him up against the back of the truck. Then I got suspended, and I can’t return to work until I take an anger management class.”

“Well then he deserved it.” Diana put her hand on your shoulder. “You don’t do that to a child, and you sure as hell don’t bring up someone’s past trauma.”

“What’s going to happen to him?” Jamie questioned you.

“Tyler texted me earlier saying that he was suspended for a day or some bullshit like that. I don’t know, I’m just hoping I never have to work with him again.”

“That is stupid, he should have to take a class on how to be a decent human.”

“That is absolute bullshit.” Jamie rubbed his hands down his face.

“Yeah, but it is what it is.” You just shrugged. “Can’t take it back now. Then again, I don’t think I would if I could.”

After that, Diana took your order and left the two of you to talk. The two of you sat there for just over an hour, before Jamie had to head into work. After paying and saying a quick goodbye to Diana, the two of you left. Jamie walked around to the driver-side of his car, while you looked around at the busy street. Somehow you aren’t as tired as you were before. You need to clear your head on the early morning events, and there was really only one place you could do that.

“Hey, I think I’m gonna walk.”

“What? Y/n you look like you’re going to pass out. I’m not gonna let you walk home.” He gave you a look like you were crazy.

“I’m fine Jamie. Plus, I’m not going home just yet.”

“Where are you going?” He came back around and stopped in front of you.

“I need to think for a little while, so I’m gonna go visit my mom.” Jamie quickly pulled you into a tight hug.

“What’s going on in that head of yours?”

“I don’t know, I just need to talk to her.” You stood there for a moment longer before you broke the hug.

“Alright, come on. Go to work.”

“I can drop you off.”

“No, I’ll be fine. Besides, you don’t want to be late on your first day, do you?”

“No, I don’t.” He looked at you, with his signature smirk.

“What?”

“Nothing. Look, text me when you get there and…”

“And when I leave, and then when I get home. Ya’ know sometimes it’s like she’s still alive and is just using you as a vessel to make sure I’m okay.”

“Hey, I’m not that bad.” He looked at you like he was a little offended. “I just want you to be safe, I would still be doing this if she was still here.”

“I know. You have been protecting me since we were seventeen. Hell, maybe even before that and I was just too stubborn to notice.”

“Yeah, you were.”

“Hey!” You went to hit him in the arm, he was quickly able to dodge your hand before it made contact. He moved to the front of his car. “Get out of here, before I personally call the commissioner and tell him that one of his officers is causing as scene instead of going into work.”

“You wouldn’t.” He narrowed his eyes at you.

“Try me.” You pulled your phone out of your pocket, holding it up and waving it back and forth.

“Umm… Y/n?”

He pointed to your phone; you gave him a confused look before looking at your phone.

“Speak of the devil.”

You quickly looked back at him before answering.

“Hello, Commissioner Reagan.”

“Y/n, we have talked about this. Call me Frank.”

“Sorry Frank, how are you?”

“I am doing good. How are you?”

“Funny you should ask because I was just talking about you.”

“Oh, to who?”

“One of your officers, who is bound to be late for his first day of work if he doesn’t leave me alone.” You had a smirk on your face, while Jamie gave you an annoyed look.

“Can you hand the phone to Officer Reagan.”

“Sure.” You walked over to Jamie. “He would like to talk to you.”

He slowly took the phone and put it to his ear.

“Hello.”

You watched as the conversation unfolded. Jamie was just nodding his head and saying “Yes, Sir.” Soon he handed you the phone back.

“I have to go brat. Text me, call me if you need anything, okay?” He pulled you into another quick hug before heading to get into his car.

“I will. Bye.”

“Bye.”

Once he was gone, you quickly turned your attention to your phone.

“So, what’s going on Frank?”

“Well, I was just wondering how you were doing this morning.”

“You talked to Rourke didn’t you.”

“I may have.” You rolled your eyes.

“Frank, I really don’t want to get into this. I’m sure you got all of this information from Rourke but, Ryan pissed me off and now I’m suspended until I take an anger management class. It happened and now I have to deal with the consequences of my actions.”

“I know what happened, I’m still wondering how you are doing. Which you still haven’t answered by the way.”

“I’m fine.”

“Y/n, I have known you long enough to know when you aren’t telling me the truth.”

“Frank, I appreciate you checking up on me, but I am not one of your kids that you have to check up on when something pops up, okay. I’m a big girl, I can take care of myself. I have been doing that for a long time, longer than you probably realize.”

“I know that. You are a strong person. I just…” You cut him off.

“I have to go. I have things that I have to deal with. I will talk to you later.”

“Okay. Bye kiddo.”

As soon as you hung up the phone, you felt like a complete ass. Frank has been there for you more times than you could count. He was just being the friend to you that he always has been. This is the man that helped you get through things when your own father couldn’t. He welcomed you into his home and his family all those years ago and you just threw it back in his face.

“Fuck.”

You haled a cab, then you made your way to the cemetery. When you found your mom, you sat down next to her. You pulled your legs up and wrapped your arms around them. You just sat there for a little while not speaking.

“Hi mom. I really fucked up big this time. I got suspended because some jackass decided that it would be a clever idea to take a child away from his mother right after a car accident. He also brought up you and I lost it on him. I’m honestly surprised that I held back. Then I got a call from Frank, he was just trying to check up on me and I took it out on him. I know I shouldn’t have but I did.”

You had tears forming in your eyes, threatening to fall at any second. You looked up to the sky, before leaning back to lay on the grass. You laid there for a little while just talking to her about other things that were going on. You also tried to figure out a way to apologize to Frank. After a few hours of sitting there, you said your goodbyes to her and got up and went to get another cab.

You had the cab drop you off at a store, so you could pick up the ingredients for your mother’s cheesecake, that you know Frank loves. When you got everything home, you got to work. After it was finished baking, you let it cool while you lay down on the couch to take a long-awaited nap.

When you woke up you had quite a few missed calls and unread text messages. Most of them were from Jamie, which you should have expected since you didn’t text him when you got to or left the cemetery. There was also a couple of missed calls from your father and a text from Erin.

You decided to get the more unpleasant phone call over with first.

“Hello?”

“Hi dad.”

“You wanna tell me what the hell is going on?”

“Excuse you?”

“Y/n, what did you do at work?”

“Ya’know, I had a shitty night, thanks for asking.”

“Seriously, that’s how you’re gonna act right now?

“What do you want me to say? Huh. Do you want me to tell you that I got suspended because some asshole thought it was a good idea to traumatize a child, then bring up my past trauma because he fucking felt like it? Is that what you wanted to hear?”

You were met with silence, which didn’t surprise you at all. Ever since you mother died, he has only ever called to complain or yell at you.

“Y/n…”

“Don’t. Don’t even pretend that you care. I know where I stand in your life. I wasn’t able to help or save mom and now you blame me every chance you can for her death. So why don’t you just stop pretending to care about me. You leave me alone; I will leave you alone.” You hung up the phone, not wanting to deal with him anymore, the sad part is that no matter what if he needed help and called you. You would be there for him, even after all the shit he put you through.

You sent a quick text to Erin, saying:

Y: Sorry Erin. I had a rough night; I was sleeping it off when you texted me. I’m doing okay now. Thanks for checking up on me.

Then you texted Jamie.

Y: Sorry, I’m home and I fell asleep.

J: That’s it…

You have been MIA for five hours and all I get is I fell asleep.

Y: Jamie please don’t do this right now. I already feel like crap. Please don’t make it worse.

Instead of getting a text back, Jamie’s face popped up on your phone. You stared at it for a second before picking it up. You stayed quiet and waited for him to talk first.

“Are you okay? What happened? You seemed to be doing better at breakfast.”

“I’m an asshole, and I am so done with peoples shit.”

“You are not an asshole, and people are stupid.”

“Well, you’re only half wrong. People are stupid, but I am an asshole.”

“Why do you say that?”

“I took my anger out on one of the few people who actually care about me. When all they were doing was making sure I was okay.”

“Y/n you had a bad night, no one is going to hold that against you.”

“That’s not the point Jamie.” You let out a frustrated sigh. “I’m not really in the mood for this right now. I have things I have to get done. I will talk to you later.”

You hung up before he had a chance to talk. Throwing your phone onto the coffee table, ignoring the ringing. You got up and walk back to your kitchen. You pull the cheesecake out of the fridge, making sure it has fully set before wrapping it up to take over to Frank’s.

Before you decided to take it over there, there was a few things you needed to do. The main one being find an anger management class, so you could get it over and done with. Once you were all signed up, you put on some music and started cleaning.

It was about five when you decided to head over to Franks. When you got there you notice the extra vehicles that were there. You almost turned around, but luck wasn’t on your side today. The front door opened as you went to grab your trucks door handle.

“Y/n?”

You looked up to see Danny standing in the doorway. You looked down at your hand and just let it fall from the handle. You heard the door close and footsteps coming towards you. You turned to see Danny leaning on your truck.

“What’s going on slugger?”

“Oh God! Not you too.”

“Come on did you really expect to keep this quiet. Especially around here?” He pointed to the house. “Everyone’s in there talking about it.”

You were just hoping the ground would swallow you up, right there and then. You leaned forward leaning your forehead on the door frame and let out a big sigh.

“I wasn’t expecting everyone to be here when I showed up.” You turned your head to the side to look at him.

“I bet. Well, it’s too late to leave now.” He points to the house, you lifted your head off the truck and looked at the house to see Erin, Henry, Frank, and Jamie looking out the window.

“Of course, it is.” You gave them a quick wave. “Or… You could take this inside to your dad and let him know that I’m sorry and I will call him later.” You had a big smile on your face, as you lifted the cheesecake up into his line of sight.

“Not gonna happen.”

“Ugh.” You dropped the smile and lowered the cheesecake. “It was worth a shot.”

You walked past Danny as he laughed at your reaction. The two of you walked up to the door and it opened just as you got to the top step. Frank was standing there with a smile on his face. Danny slipped inside as you stood on the front step.

“Hi.” All of a sudden felt like you were the shy teenager you used to be all over again.

“Hi.” He just smiled at you. “So are you going to just stand there or are you going to come inside.”

“Actually, I came to apologize for today.”

“You don’t need to do that.”

“Yes, I do. I was a complete asshole to you, and you were just trying to look out for me. I took my anger and frustrations out on you. I am so sorry Frank. I know it won’t fix anything, but I made you this.” You lifted the cheesecake for him to take. “I know you like this one, it’s my mother’s recipe.”

He stepped out onto the step with you and took the cheesecake. What you didn’t expect was for him to pull you into a hug. It was one of those big bear hugs, which cradles your entire existence. The kind of hugs really only dads can give.

“Sweetheart, you have nothing to be sorry for. I know you had a difficult day at work. I shouldn’t have overstepped.”

“No, you didn’t overstep. I should feel so lucky to have someone like you to check on me. I was harsh on you, and you didn’t deserve that.” You pulled back to look at him. “Those hooligans in there don’t know how lucky they have a father that checks up on them when they had a bad day or just to see how life is going.” You pulled away from him as soon as you could feel the tears starting to prick at your eyes. “I should get going.” You started backing away.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

“Umm… Home?”

“Nope. You are going to come inside and enjoy a piece of this” He lifted up the cheesecake. “We will talk for a little while, then you can go home.”

“Frank, I really need to get home.”

“Ten minutes, fifteen tops.” He stepped inside the door. “Come on. You know I’m not going to take no for answer.”

“I… Okay.” You walked into the house, and you were greeted by all of the Reagans.

Turns out fifteen minutes actually means three hours in the Reagan world. You did try to leave a few times, but they somehow convinced you to stay. Now you are finally able to leave the house when Danny and Erin said they needed to head out. Quickly that turned into having a chat at your vehicles, then Jamie came out to leave as well.

“I thought all of you needed to get home.”

“We do, we were just saying goodbye.” Erin was the first to address him.

“Well, you’ve been standing out here for like twenty minutes. You don’t seem to be in a rush to me.”

“Has it really been twenty minutes?” You looked at your watch to see it have been. “Wow…”

“I guess that’s what happens when friends get together.”

Danny wrapped his arm around your shoulders and pulled you towards him. You already knew what was going to happen. You tried to get out of it but you were too slow. Next thing you know he had you in a head lock giving you a noggie.

“DANNY! Let me go!”

All while Erin and Jamie are jus laughing their asses off. You struggled against Danny for a little bit before his phone started going off.

“Aww, saved by the bell Y/n.”

“I hate you. This is why Erin is my favorite Reagan.” You started fixing your hair when Jamie spoke up.

“Hey! I thought I was your favorite.” He looked a little offended.

“Nope. After what you did this morning, you were demoted to fourth.”

“Fourth?! Who are the other two ahead of me?”

“Frank and Henry.” You started thinking about it. “Ya’ know you might actually be lower than fourth. I didn’t factor in Nikki, Linda, Jack, and Shawn. You might actually be like eighth. Butthead over there is nineth.” You pointed over to Danny who was still on the phone.

“Wow, after all I have done for you.” Jamie just shook his head; you shrugged your shoulders.

“It happens.”

Danny turns back to the group. “Alright, now I really have to go. I will see you all later.” He went around and gave you and Erin a hug and Jamie a pat on the shoulder before getting into his Jeep.

“I should be going to, I still need to pick up Nikki and make dinner.” Erin turned to you. “We should get lunch soon.”

“Yeah, I have some free time for the next couple of days. My anger management class isn’t until Friday.”

“Okay. How about Thursday?”

“Sounds like a plan.” You smiled as she stared walking to her car. “Bye.”

“Bye.”

You turned and unlocked your truck. When you opened the door and got in, Jamie had his hand on the top of the door to hold it open.

“You were joking when you said that Erin was your favorite right?”

“No.” You just looked at him with the straightest face you had.

“Really?”

“Why are you sad? Jealous? Angry even?”

“No, I just don’t believe you.”

“Well, believe what you want.” You were close to breaking.

“Y/n. I know you better than anyone, so I know when you are lying to me.”

“Goodbye Jamie.” You shook your head, pulling on the door but he wouldn’t let go.

“I want to hear you say it.”

“Fine. I guess you’re my favorite.”

“I didn’t need the sarcasm but ill take it. Bye Y/n.” He closed the door and walked to his car, he watched as you drove away.

Once you got home things went quickly. You greeted Brian and went to the kitchen and started dinner. He came in to help you, then when it was almost done he set the table. The two of you talked about your days. Then you spent time together and watched t.v. for a while before going to bed. That’s how it was with you too as of late. You have tried to change it, but nothing was working. It was like the two of you fell into this comfortable routine, that neither of you wanted to address. After three years together, you started thinking this is all that it would be.

You hate this feeling.

The feeling of something ending.

I’ve always wanted to be a writer or any sort of content creator lol so I’ve finally decided to write something that’s not for an assignment, I kinda feel like the assignment writings were better but idk what do you think? Do you like it? What’s good about it And what can I improve?

Untitled boat story Part -1

Oh come on it won't be that bad!” She said with a flirty overtone. I couldn't possibly go with her or any of them for that matter, they're all too chaotic and adventurous. “I'm sorry but I think it just won't be safe enough for all 5 of us to be in one boat, it could tip or eve-”, she cut me off with a punch to the shoulder. “Like i said it will be FINE, if Jamie or Chuck try anything ill tell them to stop and you know Keith is harmless.”. “Ugh okay ill go but you guys gotta be careful.'' I groaned.

When we all reached the pier I was confused, there was no boat or anything. Jamie, Keith, and she was with me at the pier but I started to wonder where Chuck could've been. I started to ask she and Jamie but before I could even get a single syllable out we all bolted in sporadic direction hoping to escape whatever hellish sound is barreling towards us. A roar that engulfed the entire sky came crashing out of the trees behind us and were faced with a possibly worth fate then death itself, Chuck. Not just Chuck, Chuck with a heavy ATV vehicle and a boat attached to the back. “AHH HAHA That was priceless you guys are a bunch of pussies!”. Chuck hollered at us like a overgrown school bully. Jamie started laughing with him as keith just started collecting shells it seemed like the introductions have been made and i might be started to reget my decision. “Yea Okay assholes try something like that when were off at sea and you'll be dancing with jack ketch!”. Chuck and Jamie didn't seem to care but when She actually stook up for me i felt as if i had a chance to survive in this word for once.

“Alight maties!” Chuck spouted out standing tip of the boat. “Hey Keith you got what you need?”, “Yea Chucky hut I got sea shells to sell by the sea shore for sure!”, “Oh stop it you two we’ve waisted enough time” Jamie grabbed her bag that was in the sand and threw it into the boat showering her in some ground up pebbles. Which was quite therapeutic for me. “Well is the guest of honor ready?” She said while giving me a loose side hug. “Well id like to say i was born ready but i was born prematurely so i don't know!”, “Oh well thats charming.” She grabbed my han and guided me until we were in the back of the boat sitting down on these rather uncomfortable seats. Its like someone took a off brand lunch cooler and flipped it upside down calling it revolutionary. I dint even have time to joke about them with her coz Chuck revved up the motor and sped off like we were being chased by a sea creature. “Chuck chill out! Were here for a while no need to rush!” keith said enderily. “Why are you even going so fast?” “coz were being chased by a sea monster jamie!!!” “WHAT?!” everyone exclaimed. Panic around in the air like a virus spreading faster then electric current i spun in every direction trying to see if there was nay clue as to what could be hunting us, the i saw… a tiger shark. “Uh guys is that the sea monster in question?” i asked a bit nervous to speak, “Oh my god chuck! Are you serious” she yelled, “ I told you guys before we got on here not to do stuff like this!” “Girl its fine you gotta back off”, “No its not fine jamie!, im trying to expanded out friend group and you guys are just scaring them away! Remember why we gotta have a new 6th member right?” after she said that everyone got quite, they all slowed down like they were in a trance of some kind. She let out a deep sigh and said sorry them she and i went back to sit as the other three talked about the sea together.

“Hey you guys wanna pet this crab i found?” “Ew Keith no”, “ha i kinda do just coz shes too scared doesnt mean i am”. “Hell yea homie nothing like 2 and half hours of dead single from you too to show some character development”. “Where did you even get this thing man?” “oh it was just walking around and i picked it up and now here we are.” OH MY GOD GUYS” jamie's voice shrieked almost making chuck tip the boat. “Whats wrong babe?” chuck asked threw his stupid frat guy slur. “Theres like like an STD in my bag right now guys!” we all chuckled a but, she asked condescendingly “Jamie what are you talking about?” “just look!” jamie kicked her bag over and some sand poured out to the side making an almost aesthetic like scene . “I don't thing sane is a STD james” keith said while petting his crab. “Ugh Keith you have one!” jamie squealed and kicked her bag more. Just as she did 3 more crabs came out of Jamie's bag, each one larger than the last. Jamie screaming her head off jumped into chucks arms causing chuck to steer the boat uncontrolably to the right pushing all of us to floor and cornering us with the crabs. As Chuck is fighting to get control of th boat and his girlfriend Keith just starts talking to the crabs. “Heyya little buddy, i bet i got your friend huh? No worries come here.’”. Keith gently picks up all 3 of them and slowly lowers them to the side of the boat, “run along now little fella we've had our time, till we meat again.” Keith watched as the crab family scurried down the said into the sea, as he looked up into the horizon a tear fell down his face as if he was seeing the amazing life they all live together. “You're a sweet guy keith” I told him as he was whipping his face. “Yea maybe over here i am” he responded rather bleakly. “Oh my days!” Chuck shouted out grabbing all of our attentions. “That was harder then passing the ASVAB test” we all just stared even jamie who is panting on the floor still shaken from the whole crab experience. Shrugging off what Chuck said it seemed like the vibes have gotten better and the night might be better than the day was.

First of all, you're not critically enjoying a character if you put (affectionate) after talking about them being an asshole. That's you just liking a character for being a (racist Calico Jack was fucking racist) dick. Second, I do not give a fuck about what David Jenkins said. This is about you, and the fandom, and taking "failing marriage CODED" literally. Ed and Izzy have never been romantically involved. Izzy is abusive and racist. You ship them together. I guarantee you DJ does not SHIP Ed and Izzy. Third, Stede is, in case you've fucking forgotten, the literal main character of the show. YOU personally don't want him to have disassociated because you want to keep being able to talk about what an awful piece of shit he is, but THE EVIDENCE IN CANON SUPPORTS IT. You'd rather delve into and sympathize with a character like Calico Jack--create characteristics for him that canon doesn't support--than empathize with what Stede went through. And I have a genuine question for you: what are you gonna do if the show DOES make it canon that Stede disassociated? Because David Jenkins has indicated agreement with that theory, actually.

The fact is that you're a disgusting racist and an abuse apologist and a fucking DISGRACE to trans men everywhere like you should seriously be ashamed to even exist at this point.

Anon: And if your bitch ass Izzy stan bestie doesn't want to be called [Jamie has chosen to remove the remainder of this message because I don't want to publish Anon's abuse towards non me people, but it's in response to me calling them out for calling uselessheretic a slur and reminding them that that is in fact very racist and maybe the best way for anon to reduce racism (if they cared about that, which they don't) in fandom is to shut up]

Jesus fucking christ man. I guess I asked. I could respond to all of this but I think you need to lie down, but basically I'll just do it real fast; point 1. do you know what critical thinking skills and nuance are and have you tried them even once? (rhetorical question the answer is no), point 2. Shipping can mean more than one thing. 3. Yeah I'm a Stede hater we've been over this.

Anyway I'm not answering your question because it's a useless hypothetical. Something else which contradicts it (i.e. Stede running away because he thinks he's ruining Ed) has already been confirmed so, no point in discussing it any further. You're just wrong.

Also They're not my bestie. We have each other blocked actually because I think their takes are batshit and they can't stop lying about me and my mutuals. And they presumably think I'm a cunt. I just also can identify racism when I see it. Just because I don't like a person doesn't mean i'm gonna give you a pass on calling black people slurs.

And Finally. I'm not the one who should be ashamed to exist. Genuinely anon how do you fucking sleep at night knowing that you're making this fandom miserable to be in? How do you live with yourself knowing that the most significant thing you'll do in your entire pathetic fucking life is have takes in the inboxes of strangers and annoy them until they decide to squash you like the insignificant insect that you are by turning off anon or blocking you? How do you wake up and go on the internet every damn day and stalk people all day knowing that those people will only dedicate like one thought a month to you max and that's if you're real annoying? How does one go on when they're so fucking miserable that they can only get a crum of joy by spend all damn day online making other people feel bad?

It seems like you might call a lot of people racist cunts and disgraces who should be ashamed to be alive because deep down you know that's what you are. Projection isn't cute.

Sorry you had to see that followers. Last one forever this time.

!! !! !! <3

HI ILYSM <3 <3

this got Long so uh

you are being gifted my son, Henry Peter Alexander Wiley IV

he was born on March 13, 1843, to a prominent lawyer and his wife

the Wileys are RICH - they have a New York City house where they usually stayed called Wiley Manor, as well as homes in London, Virginia, and a small "cabin" (mansion) in southern France

before meeting the other character in my story, Jamie, he goes by Four (because he's the fourth of his name) or Harry

Four has 3 older sisters and is the first son and heir to his father's sizable fortune

he meets Jamie (Edward James Gray) when they're both 7 and they immediately become friends

Jamie gives him the nickname of Hal!! and theyre best friends!! and oh my god i love them so fucking much!!

(J wasnt born rich, his father struck gold in the Gold Rush and only now are the Grays being introduced to high society)

at 11, Hal begins attending a boarding school in Massachusetts, but he only lasts about a year before having a nervous breakdown. he's autistic and has social anxiety (wow ant whered you get that from huh) and was bullied a bunch and it got to be too much for our poor boy

for the next few years he has several private tutors and does a Lot of reading (boy loves to read)

his father pressures him to Go to School and Be Normal and Stop Letting Down the Family which only makes Hal's anxiety worse fuck his dad >:(

at 16 he realizes OH SHIT IM IN LOVE WITH JAMIE

it takes him a few months to tell him but once he does they start courting and it's v cute <3 <3 <3

then of course Hal's dad decides to send him to a school in South Carolina where his cousin Josiah goes and this time Hal can't come up with good enough arguments and has to go

he's at boarding school until age 18, and while there he and Jamie write a bunch of really romantic sappy letters

Hal's home for christmas break in 1861 when the Civil War breaks out, but it doesn't really impact him all too much, except that his father decides it's too risky for him to go back to school because SC is now part of the confederacy

while at school Hal started getting symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and now it's getting worse, so he spends a lot of the next couple months in bed recovering

by fall he's feeling better and he and Jamie can go be their gay selves

BUT THEN in October Hal is engaged (without his permission to the daughter of his father's friend, Miss Hattie Parker

Hal doesnt tell Jamie immediately but J finds out about it anyways and gets angry bc his boyfriend didnt. tell him abt being engaged

around that same time J's father discovers a letter between him and Hal (it has J's name on it but not Hal's, so Mr Asshole doesnt know it's him) and threatens to kill and/or disinherit him

for some unknown reason J decides that the only way to prevent this is to enlist in the war so he goes in down that

fuck this is getting long im gonna finish the rest in @mattwife-mattnipulate-mattsplain's ask

but thank you so much pol ily /p

You & Me (Part Two)

Jikiro Takami | Gliese Benral’s Hive | Present Night

The preceding drabble is You & Me (Part One).

The blueblood’s fear turned into a snarl.

“So what, I killed the lusus. You would’ve realized you had to do the same. I just got right to it, instead of trying to pretend there was another option to feel better about myself.”

Jikiro’s eyebrows raised.

“You know.” He said casually. “People like telling me that I’ll have to be more ruthless or whatever eventually. I don’t know why that’s such a popular thing to say; it gets kind of old after a while. I also don’t know why they think I’m going to wring my hands if I have to do some dirty work. I’ve done it before.”

“Whatever.” Replied the cerulean dismissively. “Just go away. There’s nothing for you here.”

The tealblood scratched his neck idly.

“Yeah…about that. See, you killed me, so I think I deserve a few answers. First off: what’s your name?”

The blueblood froze, her lusus sniffing the air suspiciously, his long ears pricked in alertness.

“Gliese.” she said at last. “My name is Gliese.”

“Cool. So…why did you really kill the lusus?”

“Excuse me? I told you when we first met.” She said, irritated again.

Jikiro raised a finger in objection.

“No, you said you didn’t owe me an explanation and threatened to chop my legs off.”

“Should’ve done that to begin with.” He heard her mutter, looking directly at him. The lusus continued to watch the tealblood, nose twitching, and then she spoke again at a normal volume.

“Fine. I killed it because I’ve seen an abusive lusus before, I saw exactly how fucking bad it got. It’s horrible in ways I can’t even begin to describe. Watching it was hell and I don’t even like that girl. Eichio…he’s a pain too, honestly, but who the fuck wouldn’t be with a lusus like that? He’s so fucked up, but now he finally has a chance to get better.”

Jikiro sighed.

“You thought stealing and killing his dad was the best way to help him? I do not want to know what it’s like in your head.”

The hare troll bristled. 

“Get yours checked, asshole.” She barked. “I looked in and I immediately looked out, it was fucking terrifying. I have dealt with the creepy overlord of undead before! You’re worse.”

The tanuki troll blinked, then snorted.

Hanabi had mentioned back in his hive, after Jamie had left, that his nature protected him from mental attack now…but he hadn’t realized it was automatic. Or horrifying, apparently. 

He shrugged.

“Don’t be a nosy little jerk rifling through my thoughts, then. Just talk to Eichio, he at least deserves an explanation.”

“What good would it do?” She snapped. “Do I seem like I’m great at being tactful and sensitive? I fucking know myself, I don’t want to hurt him further.”

Jikiro sighed, crossing his arms. 

“Eichio’s stronger than you think. You should at least try.”

The cerulean bit her lip with her long front fangs. She hesitated, her ears flicking as she thought.

“No.” She said after half a minute or so. “If I came and talked to him, who knows what’s waiting for me? How can I trust you? I don’t know you.”

The air was still, silence stretching between the two trolls as the hare lusus shifted beneath his daughter, his long limbs as tense as the atmosphere was.

Jikiro took out some ink and drank it, then extended a hand.

A cloud of darkness swirled into existence, surrounding the blueblood and her father as the tealblood ran over.

Skeletons broke through the ground to drag at his legs, and he gritted his teeth, rapidly drawing rough symbols on their skulls - they fell apart into piles of bones.

Cold. Cold again. Frigid, choking on frost in his throat  -

Then it stopped. All at once everything stopped.

Jikiro kept running, slipped inside his cloud - 

- narrowly avoiding the snap of the lusus’s large fangs as it tried to take his arm off, feeling its warm breath.

He grabbed the thing by the throat, ignoring its kicks, and drew a symbol on its fur to subdue it. It slumped, and he looked at the prone highblood on its back.

She had passed out. Why? The darkness? That seemed unlikely.

Jikiro easily plucked the small girl off her prone caretaker, and less easily choked in shock when she leapt out of his arms, stepped back, and ran him through with a long, bladed weapon faster than he could react. His thick, dark blood ran slowly down his shirt and pants.

“Nice fucking try.” She snarled. 

“Shouldn’t have done that.” Jikiro coughed.

A brief look of confusion flitted across her face before she raised her blade again, only to have the cloud of darkness condense and wrap around her in undulating coils, staining her body and clothes black as her arms were pressed against her body. Her weapon dropped to the ground.

Part of the coils returned to the tealblood, liquefying and sealing his wound. He breathed heavily, still feeling the pain of it, slightly bent over with one hand braced against his knee.

“Stop.” He said through gritted teeth. “It doesn’t have to be like this.”

The clatter of skeletons reassembling themselves and running at him was the only answer.

Jikiro quickly downed more ink, and climbed on top of the prone hare lusus, who hissed in pain.

He breathed.

In.

Out.

They came closer, jaws clattering, eye sockets glowing orange.

The tanuki troll drew on his own skin, covering his face and arms with a rapid swathe of symbols, and as the bony fingers reached for him, they all linked together - swarming onto the bones of one skeleton, then another and another until all of them were covered, the white bone only half visible under the swirling ink.

The constructs stopped cold.

Jikiro’s dark eyes glowed slightly orange, and he saw the blueblood’s widen. 

Then she screamed, loudly enough that the mage covered his ears, and he felt a sickening lurch as the air filled with cold and malaise.

He couldn’t win this, he realized, as he vaulted off the animal.

Not yet, not alone.

Jikiro withdrew the coils around Gliese and wrapped them around himself instead, turning them into a shield to keep the ghosts out - not for long, he could feel the press of hundreds at his barrier.

Quickly, he drew more symbols on his clothing, ink flying in his haste - headed not for the shrine, but somewhere closer, somewhere he needed to be. 

Again Jikiro was enveloped as phantom energy tried to drag him down - but his magic whisked him away, leaving not even a stain behind on the grass.

—

The businessman reappeared close to the lake near Viltau’s hive. He stretched heavily, but he was definitely going to ache for a few nights from that wound and the lusus’s kicks. Damn blueblood.

Yet she’d hesitated. She’d genuinely considered his words. He had been so close.

He could discuss it with the others later, figure out a strategy. First he had something else to take care of, something important.

The tealblood closed his eyes, focusing. He hasn’t used his power from such a distance before, but he knew he could do it.

He left directions in code on the kitchen counter, ones that would slowly fade to nothing when touched, so the reader had limited time to copy them down. When decoded, they’d give the first location of an arrow in the hive, which would have more instructions leading to another, which would also fade slowly when touched. 

The second would be harder to find, the last harder still - and when touched, it would fly off its surface and away, leading the indigo to where he stood. 

Jikiro pulled out his phone to answer business messages, ready to wait patiently; he wondered how long it would take. Then he paused and straightened up his outfit and his hair, throwing on a nice jacket to hide the hole his shirt had gotten from the blade (and as many of the ink stains as he could).

He smiled, knowing exactly what he would say when his friend figured it out and found him. 

Hey, Viltau. Got time to talk?

I just know that when the press gets wind of Charlie, everyone will speculate about him being Jaime's kid and a whole bunch of people saying mean and hurtful things about Jaime's competence as a parent. What they don't count on is not only Roy going angry protective, but Ted, Beard, Rebecca, and every single Greyhound coming to Jaime's defense, even Will chiming in about how good he is to Charlie. Jaime is super touched, and when Charlie makes his debut at a game, safe in the arms of Roy or Ted, Jaime and the lads all give him a kiss before they step onto the pitch, instantly making him a media darling. People start to see for themselves how good a parent Jaime is, how fiercely protective he can be, and that he was put in a terrible position by his and Charlie's deadbeat dad and rose to the occasion that would have sent many running. People start to respect the new and grown up Jaime Tartt.

YES

Once the press get wind of Charlie, they assume Jamie is the biological father and that it' a result of a scandulous one night stand. The press, especially the gossip rags, run a lot of stories about Jamie being a play boy and not being good fathe material, questioning why anyone would give him primary custody and predicting that it might be a disaster

Jamie, while it hurts, doesn't really pay it much attention and turns his focus to where it belongs: Charlie. That's his priority. Nothing matters more than Charlie, Roy and the team, and Jamie has matured enough to ignore the gossip in the media.

Roy, on the other hand, is furious because no one sees Jamie for what he is outside of those who personally know him and it makes his blood boil. For once, Roy goes to go to Rebecca to ask for a presser but when he gets there he finds the Diamond Dogs already there with Rebecca and they're discussing how to combat this and show everyone how amazing Jamie is with Charlies and debating the best ways to do that which makes Roy pause because fuck Jamie is loved and it makes Roy feel things

No one tells Jamie the plan, until he gets the notification that the team has released an offical statement and video. In the video, it's just different members of the team and Higgins, Rebecca, Will and Keeley all talking about how great of a man and father figure Jamie is. He's even more touched to see Roy actually opening up a bit and telling some personal stories (and then calling the media 'fucking blind idiots living in an asshole they can't escape')

People are still a bit wary because this is Jamie Tartt. The man who left football to go fuck around an island, but they're proven wrong when they see him with Charlie and see snippets of his life from team posting things with Jamie's permission

Charlie making his offical match debut when he's over six months old. Roy has him strapped to him at the enterance to the tunnel and as everyone comes out, they stop to give Charlie little high fives and pull funny faces at him and get little pats from a giggling Charlie and good luck kisses until Jamie is last and Charlie just lights up (and Roy does too but no one will mention it).

It makes people see just how much Jamie has grown

November 30, 2023.

David and Hunter's second Crowd Pleasers show happened today. We weren't actually planning on going because for one, I started a new job and thought taking this day off wouldn't work, and so Tim didn't request it off. But it turns out my assignment ended early and we were able to go. The only thing that sucked was that Tim wasn't able to request it off bc we decided to go late (past 2 week request) and bc another one of his co-workers already requested that day off. So we went right after Tim got out. He got out early for once and he was able to go home, eat, shower, and walk Luna. And then we were off. We arrived like an hour before the show started and I was like oh, it'll probably get filled bc it was last time, but it wasn't. We were able to snag seats in the aisle. However, this time around, David brought many friends which took like half the arena so was it really sold out? Anyways, to the show. The musician started off the show and as much as I like Alex Aiono, this guy was so much more interactive and funny. He stopped by the couple in front of us and my heart fucking stopped tbh because I was like PLS I WILL CRY IF U LOOK AT ME. And then to the dating portion of the show. I didn't know the girl dater, but we knew most of the contestants. The girl in front of me, who came with her boyfriend, who apparently, is in a it's complicated situation, was so fucking annoying and down bad for Zach Justice. Like I get mans is funny. I didn't get the appeal until like 5 dating shows in, but like she would film every time he spoke, and only him. She blocked my whole view because she kept moving her damn head and I'm like????? The other people are also hilarious!! Trevor Wallace was one of the other contestants and people did not like him. I was like WHAT IN TARNATION like that man is hilariously dickish. He even looks like a Chad/Brad like come the fuck on. Moving onto the male dater, I didn't know who he was at first, but then he started speaking and I'm like I swear I know him from somewhere. Then he mentioned his roommate is Fabio and I'm like OH YEAH HE WAS THE WINGMAN IN FABIO'S VIDEO. He's funny tbh. I felt like I didn't know any of the contestants, but they were rizz masters. Oh, and an Asian girl was on there and she almost won. She turned out to be famous. OH, also, she said she was Filipina, and the WHITE girl in front of me was like cheering. I was like ???????/ what the fuck is happening. Anyways, I have mixed reviews for the night like they def made some improvements, but was I just tired/dead? Or was the couple in front of me just assholes?

Also, I wanted to say that I had an assignment for a staffing agency starting on November 13, and they were honestly so fucking strict and weird. I met people, and that was cool, but my manager was super cliquey and weird. Yeah, I probably shouldn't have worn a crop top, but it would've probably been fine if I wasn't reaching for something. But she, my manager, was Asian, and I don't know, I got super weird vibes from her. She's like fake happy, which I get is the role of receptionist/office management, but I'm like????? what the fuck please.... Also, I was mid-talking one time, and she didn't let me finish before snatching my notes away and reading my question. Like she was too impatient to wait. Like SUPER red flag. But also, they said they didn't want me after a week lol like what did u test me on. Like u didn't give me a chance, but that's okay. That shit was far and driving home with astigmatism was so bad.

Books I read this month;

Behind the Net by Stephanie Archer (100/10) I loved this book sm. Jamie was the perfect book boyfriend, and if Pippa and Jamie were not soulmates, I would be FERAL for this man. He's such a sweet person whose main focus in life is his mom and his career. He has so much self control, but it turns out his weakness is this girl. This girl who needs him. Who he betters by being her #1 supporter. Pippa's story is so relatable it hurts, and she's being pushed for a safe career. I connected with the characters, and Stephanie Archer can have my soul honestly. This story took my absolute breath away. And the side characters? I'm so excited for the next story.

Play with Me by Becka Mack (100/10) Bro, I'm in love with this book because Jennie is like me which begs the question of do I have daddy issues???? I was not gonna pick this one up because I wasn't the biggest fan of the first book of the series, but omg the tension and the characters are chef's kiss. Okay, but anyways, Jennie has major trust issues and knows how to take care of herself, but in walks a nervous wreck of a hot guy (who also happens to be a hot hockey player and her brother's bff). Garrett (which I might be biased by his name) could have any girl he wants but he wants to stick by Jennie. He agrees to the FWB pact with Jennie even though he could have anyone else including penetration sex (because Jennie is only agreeing to oral.) Garrett is such a cinnamon roll simp for Jennie and she walks him like a dog, but also breaks down her walls for him and I am absolutely here for them. Do I want her more????? I think so because Garrett is blonde and idk. The book was long and there were some repetitive parts, but I enjoyed every last minute of this book.

Delay of Game by Maggie Rawdon (7/10) Only bumping it up from 6.9 to 7 because of the quote "You're the love of my life Liv. I thought I could have that in half measures with us just being friends. I thought it would be enough, but it's not. I want all of you." HE WAS WRITTEN BY A WOMAN. Anyways, not my fave in the series, but I did want to know the tension between Olivia and Liam from the beginning. This was a friends to lovers trope/miscommunication trope with a bit of survivor's guilt/emotional cheating in a way. I have come to the realization that most friends to lovers trope is super cheesy and needs to be crafted to perfection in order for me to read and love it. Regardless, the story was short, but it skipped out/skimmed over major issues that needed more explaination, but the author def. found her voice in this one vs. the first book.

Enemies with Benefits by Roxie Noir (5.8/10) This book had me kicking my feet and giggling in the first part, not going to completely lie, but then it got real. Their hatred for each other was really childish and doesn't really stem from anything-- just that they want to always one up another which is also Devi and Ben from Never Have I Ever. Also, it's a forbidden romance in a workplace setting which I don't mind, given that The Hating Game was amazing, but this one was so realistic. Like they are ALWAYS working and barely have time for anything else, interacting mainly because of work. I like realistic stories, but not THAT realistic. This book was pretty southern and boring, not going to completely lie. But I finished it so I'm proud of that!

The Love Wager by Lynn Painter (10/10) Honestly got me out of my tiny reading slump from the last book I read. Jack, the male main character, was honestly the love of my life for the beginning, then he started being Hallie's love and I was okay with it. I love Hallie, she's honestly such a lovable and strong character. This is a friends to lovers trope, and as much as it's such a hard topic to tackle, Miss Lynn Painter killed it! I was sobbing, hoping they will be together at the end. It was a cheesy rom-com read and I fuck with that.
