Author’s note: In this story, both the reader and Vinnie are of legal drinking age, and the pandemic is long over
Warning: Smut 🔥

‘’ I know you’re disappointed Vinnie, I am too, but we’re not done filming yet” you said to your boyfriend over the phone. You had been away to Canada for the past month, shooting for a movie with other young actors. You loved your job, but being away from the people you loved the most, was difficult.
“Can’t you take a couple of days off?” He asked almost whining
“It doesn’t work like that Vin” you sighed, you knew he was sad “I’m sorry, I’ll make it up to you, I promise” you continued, smiling softly, even though he couldn’t see you.
“I just miss you, and the fact that you won’t be here for my birthday sucks” he huffed “I know it’s not your fault”
“I miss you too” you said before getting interrupted by a knock on the door. “I have to go baby, we’re getting ready to film, I’ll call you later, I love you”
“Ok, I love you” he responded before you hung up, making your way to set. Tomorrow was your last day of filming before a two-weeks break. You hadn’t told Vinnie, wanting to surprise him for his birthday, since it was a last-minute decision from the movie director. You were stocked to go back to L.A to see your friends for a few days. You had decided that for Vinnie’s birthday, you would plan a nice trip away from everything, just the two of you. You had talked with Thomas and Mia, knowing you could trust them with your secret. They had kept you up to date on everything, including the party schedule.
You would see him in only two days, and you couldn’t wait to be near him. You missed everything about your boyfriend, his hugs, his kisses, his voice, his laugh, his touch, oh how you missed his touch. A month away from each other wasn’t an easy task since the both of you were always together. He hadn’t had the chance to come visit you on set since he had a bunch of contracts and projects to work on, himself.
The day finally came for you to go back home to Vinnie, and you couldn’t be more excited. He didn’t suspect anything since you had called him that morning, wishing him a Happy Birthday.
“Thomas said you sent me a package, but I’m not allowed to open it till later tonight” he had said, loving that even though you couldn’t be with him on his special day, you had still thought about sending him something.
“I believe you can wait a few more hours” you had smiled, looking at him through your phone screen. The FaceTime call lasted for another fifteen minutes before you had to go
“Ok baby, I’ll call you back later tonight so we can open your gift together, have a good day, I love you”you had said looking at the time, knowing you had to leave soon to make it to your flight in time
“I love you too (Y/N)” he smiled fondly at you “See you tonight” he had said
“See you tonight” You had chuckled, before hanging up. He was on for a big surprise and you couldn’t wait to see his reaction.
You texted Mia when you landed. The plan was to sneak you into the house without him noticing, so you could get ready. The boys had finished working out, your boyfriend going to take a shower before the party started. It was the perfect time to go in, following Mia to hers and Thomas’s bedroom.
“I’m so glad you’re here” she said excitedly “He’s going to be so happy to see you (Y/N)” she continued, jumping up and down. “I’ll let you get ready, people are starting to arrive” she said before exiting the door.
You decided to scroll through your phone for a bit before getting ready for the party. Vinnie had just posted a new TikTok of him in the shower, like always, but that was enough to make you melt at the sight of him.
To: Mon Amour❤️👅
Still on set, just saw your TikTok. 👀
How can one human be so handsome 😩 it’s not fair
He had responded soon after, making you smile, while making your way to take a shower as well. When you got out, you could already hear the music blasting downstairs, indicating the party had started. You finished getting ready and texted Thomas to distract your boyfriend while you went to join the girls in the living room. You made sure to stand close to him and his friends, but still far enough to observe him without him noticing you right away.
“Vin, that girl’s been looking at you for the past ten minutes man” Jordan had said, smirking as he saw you on the other side of the room
“Yeah and?” he answered, shrugging his shoulders not turning to look at the girl in question
“She kind of look like (Y/N) if you ask me” his friend had retorted, making the birthday boy stare at the group of girls, spotting you immediately, almost running towards you, smiling widely at the sight of you.
“Is that really you?” he asked, his eyes wide and mouth still agape, you chuckled, pulling him into a hug
“Happy Birthday baby” you murmured in his ear, leaving a kiss below it, the action making him shiver.
“I can’t believe you’re here” he responded, hugging you tightly, before detaching himself a little bit to stare into your eyes. He had this ability to make you melt just by looking at you. He moved his face closer to yours, kissing you passionately. His lips were soft and demanding, he wanted more, and you knew he had missed you as much as you’d missed him.
“Get a room you guys” Michael said, passing the both of you, making you laugh against each other before detaching yourselves. He grabbed your hand, leading you to the beer pong table, where Connor and Calvin were playing and drinking.
It had been an hour since you reunited with Vinnie, and you were still near the beer pong table, talking and laughing with the others. He couldn’t take his eyes off of you, scared that if he did, you would disappear. His arms were around your shoulders, staring at the way your mouth was moving while speaking to Michael and Alex.
“Hey yo Vinnie, you’re still with us?” Alex had said, making your boyfriend diverted his gaze towards him, sipping on his red solo cup
“Yeah” he chuckled lightly “Sorry” the boys laughed at him, knowing damn well he was only paying attention to you.
“You’re up next birthday boy” you said, nodding towards the table, where two team had just done playing. You all moved towards the beer pong table, Vinnie playing with Michael and Alex playing with Kouvr. You stayed next to them, watching the scene in front of you. Vinnie was having so much fun, laughing and drinking with his friends, he would often take a glance at you to make sure, you were ok. Alex and Kouvr were losing, Michael laughing at them and Vinnie getting almost every shot he took.
You got lost in the moment, just admiring him, and the way he looked extra good tonight. Even under his white t-shirt, you could see every muscle of him flex. His large hands grasping the ball before shooting it into the cup, making him celebrate the victory with Michael. He caught you staring at him and came right back to stand in front of you.
“Everything’s ok baby?” he asked you, smirking, knowing what it did to you. After a few seconds of silence, he took your hand in his, as you followed him upstairs. He led you towards his bedroom, but you were surprised when he went in and continued walking towards the connected bathroom, closing the door behind you. You stood there, leaning against the counter, Vinnie taking a few steps closer to you, standing centimeters away from your face. His lips found yours quickly, taking control of your mouth easily, your tongues dancing and battling together, Vinnie deepening the kiss. You didn’t realize you were holding your breath until he pulled away, and redirected his kisses on your neck, sucking on the sensitive skin, making you let out a small moan.
“Fuck, I missed you (Y/N)” he murmured against you, pressing his lower half to your aching core. Your hands travelled to his hair, tugging lightly, something you knew he loved for you to do.
“I want you Vin” you whispered in his ears, making him grunt, before he turned you around quickly, making you both look at your reflection in the mirror. You could feel him get impatient, as he pressed his hard member against your covered ass. One of his hands rested on your hip as the other slid down your back, forcing you down into a bending position. You reached down to the end of your dress, lifting it up, for Vinnie to get a better view. He ran a hand through your hair, fisting them, grasping and pulling them gently. A loud moan left your lips at the action, making you back up into him, as he started to grind into you, over and over again.
“V-Vinnie” you mumbled, as he snaked his hand slowly into your damp underwear, making you let out a sight of satisfaction. His skillful fingers found their way to your dripping fold, spreading your arousal on the rest of your needy core. Vinnie kept a steady pace, pumping in and out of you, making you scream in ecstasy. You had been craving his touch for a month now and you couldn’t contain yourself anymore.
“Fuck me already” you said, wanting to feel more of him than his fingers. He bit his lips at the sight of you, begging for more, before yanking your panties down your legs in a quick motion. He unbuttoned his pants quickly, making them drop to the floor, his erection springing free on his covered stomach. He pumped himself a few times, before lining himself at your entrance, your eyes meeting his reflection, your pussy throbbing at what was about to happen. He grabbed your hips, pushing all the way in, your broken moans filling is ears, feeling your tightness around him.
“You’re so tight” he whimpered as you moaned, reaching back to grab onto him. He began to piston his hips harder against yours, making you yelp out in pleasure and surprise, feeling your orgasm approaching. His hand laid a hard smack on your ass, as you bit your bottom lips, trying to contain your moans. You could feel Vinnie’s trusts getting sloppier, indicating he was close as well.
“I’m so close” he almost didn’t hear you. His hand trailed down the front of your body, snaking his fingers down your swollen clit, rubbing it perfectly to bring you over the edge. Your legs started shaking, Vinnie pumping in and out of you, as he rode your orgasm. You clenched around him and the action was enough to make him cum, himself, spilling his loads into you, groaning loudly.
Once you were done, he helped you clean the mess the both of you had made, laughing lightly as you both got dressed.
“Best surprise ever” he said, smiling as he kissed your temple.

gif not mine;
It was too early in the morning, not even the clouds were letting the rays of sunshine to brighten the city of Coruscant, and she was already upset with the whole Council. They've decided to make a decision that involved her, without her being present. And she later on, got warmed about it as always.... As much as she wanted to make decisions for herself, she was still not having enough privilege to do so. She could not stand it. But still, to this day, she needed to bite her bottom lip, nod and do as it was said.
"Did I hear you clearly? Am I going on my first ever solo mission?" Her voice sounded in a mix of excitement and exasperation. Such as if she could not believe what she did hear coming from her master's mouth.
"I have never said you were going all by yourself." Mace spoke seriously, his eyes staying wide opened while he stared at her in expectation. Y/n raised her chin, to look at him directly in the eyes, to then keep her breath right deep inside her lungs.
"Look, it's not that we don't trust you –." Her master continued, his voice soothing this time. But she did not care at all, so she talked back without thinking, then interrupting him abruptly.
"Well, it looks like it." Her voice did not sound with anger but with disappointment, instead.
There was a big pause between them. Mace sighed,  raising one of his arms while making her a signal for her to take a seat just right in front of him. Pressing her lips in a thin line, she sat, legs crossed, just as he was sitting. He was having his mouth opened, but any kind of words weren't escaping from his mouth. She did not have any idea about how long they decided to stay quiet. Seconds felt like minutes, and it did haunt her, making her feel pressured and quite too anxious. Y/n tried to keep her gaze steady on her brown robes, but his sudden voice got her by surprise, making her raise her face immediately.
"I gave my word, not them. They just agreed. I see potential in you, but I do not want you to go on a suicidal mission all by yourself, indeed." He continued, making her let out a deep breath of exhaustion. "General Kenobi and General Skywalker will accompany you in this mission, as long as the events do not change, of course..." He added, his voice calmed. Mace continued talking after that, but she did not hear anything clearly, it was too late. Her mind and thoughts were clouded by him again. Obi-wan's voice could easily trumble inside her head, making her feel completely lost. His subtle scent of vanilla and smoke was completely unforgettable, and easy to remember. Sometimes, it was that easy to imagine him with her, that she would not help but to sob. Imagining his presence was not the same as feeling the cozyness she would feel around him. The touch of his fingertips or the caress of his lips... It was too much to handle, and her heartbeat by consequence, began to pound rapidly. Making her master, to easily notice that her composure changed from then of sudden.. Mace did not say anything else, he just stared in confusion.
"I- I need to go. Excuse me, master." Her voice now way more softened, stuttered, while getting up from her seat. Her master did not say a word back, he just gave her a light nod while closing his eyes.
Y/n's heartbeat pounded hard and fast in her chest, it almost hurt. Feeling herself choking, she walked rapidly by the long corridors way to her quarters. Her right hand placed just where her heart should be. But it wasn't, because her heart left the same day he did. Her chest would raise and lower rapidly, while she could not help but to feel the adrenaline running through her veins once again. She was not used knowing anything about him, and when she did get any type of information, it would feel bitter but still pleasant to know and be aware that he was still alive, far away from her and achieving what he always desired.
Swallowing hard, she opened the door from her quarters and once she was already inside, she closed the door behind her, to then, resting her back on it. The room had a blueish subtone, making her understand that the clouds were still hiding the sun. She took a deep breath, her eyes kept closed, trying to find any kind of relaxation. Suddenly, she let herself fall to the ground, sliding her back down slowly. Her forearms then, resting on her knees, while she hid her face in desperation. Y/n's feelings have never been mixed up, as talking about Obi-wan, she loved him, truly. And he did as well.
It was madness! They were too reckless back then, to know certainly what they were truly feeling for each other, nevertheless, they were mature enough to take that one step, they needed to take and so they did, formally dating and having a serious and mature relationship. They knew that whatever they were feeling was true and honest.
And so, none of them wanted to leave the council, so, they decided to keep it as a secret, although they knew it was practically impossible at a certain time to know anything about each other, meanwhile he was up, fighting in galaxies far away from Coruscant.
The rest of the morning, she spent it inside the four walls of her cozy quarters. Wishing the hours and minutes to run as fast as possible for her to finally meet with him, after being apart from each other, for months. It was going to happen, and she was not ready. She didn't need time, y/n knew right deep inside her heart, that she was never going to be able to be ready to meet with him again... Impatiently, she let her hand travel up, to her collar, grabbing the necklace he gave her. It was the only thing she owned from him, and she did not want to lose it. She could not be able to apologise herself, if she ever loses it... Mace told her that they would be in Coruscant in a few hours, and it has already passed a few hours, making her feel completely irritated. A normal person would wait someone such as taking a seat or distracting itself, making some time for it's own, making useful things and to not waste minutes or mostly, hours not doing anything. However, on the other hand, she preferred to walk all over her quarters, stepping her feet rapidly on the floor.
Y/n was all nerves and insecurity at the moment, but she did stop feeling like that just for a matter of second. When the communicator from her bedroom did warn her that they already arrived. Before getting out of her place, having her eyes closed, she decided to calm herself down or anyone at this point, would notice that something was wrong with her. Having her mind clear, and a neutral face on, now, she left and walked until arriving to the furthest living, in which were always used for making private reunions. Approaching, she noticed that there were a few bodyguards protecting the entrance, but they noticed her clothes and the body of her lightsaber placed on her belt, and so, they let her in.
“It has been far too long.” Padmé admitted, a bright smile curving on her lips, while she looked at both not only Jedi, but her old friends.
The whole place was in complete silence, or at least it was until Y/n decided to step a foot inside the living. She seemed relaxed, or at least she was, until she noticed that not only the senator was there. Suddenly, all eyes were marked on her, and she tripped on both her feet accidentally, almost falling but still managed to get on her way to the senator, obviously, trying not to keep as much eye contact as she could with Obi-wan.
“Glad to see that you’re alright..” She gasped out of sudden once passing her shaky, sweaty hands by her tight shirt. She did grab Amidala’s hand to then take Anakin’s and Obi-wan’s too. Her words were fast and almost improvised, and Obi-wan knew it. He knew her more than she knew her own self. But he did not remember her as exactly as she looked at that precise moment, still, she was the same clumsy girl whom he decided to fall head over heels for, when he was just a young boy.
She was not going to ignore it. She could not be able to. It was impossible to ignore the fact that she has been craving for him to be with her, to stay just where she was at the moment, and not being able to gaze at his piercing blue eyes, at least once. Although she would’ve loved to have the guts to, she knew that if she did so, she would be lost. Whereas, on the other hand, he could not be able to stop staring at her. Her hair was now longer, falling down her back. And she was still keeping two braids placed as a crown, such as how she used to hairstyle her hair when she had no time for. Her face seemed way more brighter than he was able to remember, but she still owned that heavenly smile, which he adored and missed so much.
The chat did not last for so long. It was clear that their job was going to be about protecting the senator, or at least that was their mission for now on. Once everything was said, Y/n excused herself not after giving to her lover a grin. Once she was already out, Obi-wan did excused himself as well, and he did walk towards the exit. Finding her, waiting for him.
“Long time no see...” He admitted, smiling ear to ear. His eyes brightened as cristal. Obi’s voice sounded amusing, and it was understandable. She felt the same way too. Having him with her was good, but at the same time, too risky..
“Likewise.” She breathed out, to then smile back at him. The energy between them was speechless, their words always soft and careful, most knowing that they were still on the catch of the eye of anyone.
Although none of them would still admit it, their eyes were full with emotion, and words weren’t needed at that moment. It was left clear between each other, that they did miss each other like madly. Although, the verbal language was not used at any given moment between them, they were sure about it.
“So, how are things going?” She cleared her throat.
“Anakin has gotten his first ever padawan... She's strong but reckless.” Obi-wan admitted in a sigh and it immediately made her chuckle.
“So, were we.” She affirmed, having a playful smile marked on her lips. Obi just smiled back at her, his chin lowered and his eyes closed.He was happy, and so was she. They’ve been together, at the same place for less than an hour, but he was sure that he needed to ‘have a talk with her’. Without saying anything else, they just had a little walk, enjoying each other’s company. For once in a lifetime, the air did not feel suffocating. But still it felt quite too difficult to breathe. "I've been wanting to talk with you, actually." He admitted, now making her turn her head. Her face changed and her eyes were not longer shining but clouded with lust, and so were his own. She perfectly knew what those words meant and she was not going to hesitate.
“...Is it possible if we can have some privacy, now?” Obi-wan continued, but his voice sounded more of a whisper now. Blinking rapidly, she scanned both sideways, to see if anyone was nearby. When she made sure there were no people around, she grabbed his hand, and they ran straight to her chambers, which was not too far away from where they were at. Once they were already inside, she expected him to be soft and delicately as always, but instead, once the door was closed behind her, he pushed her against it, placing both his hands on her face, and pressing his lips with her own. At first she got surprised, but she still kept kissing him back. Her hands now trailing up to the back of his nape, twirling her fingers with his now shorter hair. Within seconds, he did take off his cloak, and hers as well. They were still standing at the same place, so, instantly, he did place both his hands, down on both her thighs, making her jump and twirl her legs just between his waist. Her hands now being placed on both his shoulders, while he carried her and laid her down not too delicately on her bed. She swallowed hard, while she watched him rapidly bend over, to kiss her once more, but now, with way more passion.
“Stars! I missed every piece of you, my love…” He admitted, his voice hoarse and low, while leaving wet kisses all over her neck. Y/n did not say a word back in response. She was just letting out low but soft moans, letting him just be the only one who could be able to hear them. His arms were trailing all over her body, while he slowly took off her pants to then throw them far away from them.
“We can only be absent for ten minutes, you know it.” She was exasperated, while trying to unbutton his pants. Her hands were fast but clumsy, then, him taking off his trousers and his underwear quickly by himself.
“I know. I know. And I need you.” He whined, while placing himself on top of her, both hands placed comfortably pressed on the mattress.
Without saying anything else, lust in both their glances, she placed her left hand on his right cheek, to then making him bend his head over to press his lips with her own once more. Still having their mouths pressed together, he did push his hip afterwards, getting her by surprise and then, moaning of pleasure in his mouth. It was slow but constant, but within seconds, their breathing started to get exasperated, and the only thing that was able to be heard in that room was the bed slightly creaking. It was slow but hard at the same time, and it did hurt the very few pushes but it then became satisfactory. Once they were getting close, his communicator started to vibrate, they did ignore it but then it turned constant, making him groan annoyedly.
“Shhh,..” She hushed him. “Ignore it. Just concentrate on me, love.” That was the least she needed to tell him, for him to do so. Once she felt that she was getting closer, she started to moan even way more pleasantly.
Her chin was placed on his left shoulder, while both her hands were placed on his back, her nails pressed hard. He was getting upset, and she knew it just by the way he was acting at the moment. He was always careful and she knew it, but for the first time, it just didn’t feel like just having normal sex. It was needy and wanted. It always has been like that, but the fact that they’ve spent months apart, without having any type of information of their good given status, they both craved that moment even more. Suddenly, his movements became faster, making both their breaths to mix up. He wanted her to scream his name out loud but it was not going to happen as long they were in Coruscant... Right before cumming, and him hearing her letting out a loud moan, he did kiss her one last time, to then, her placing both her hands on his face.

The Vancouver Island & Sunshine Coast Loop: A Solo Cycle Tour of BC’s Finest Retirement Communities. Part 1
It all started with a vague feeling that I should DO something before going back to work. One last hurrah. I took a day or two to plot all the locations I wanted to hit, because when I plan our trips (and let's face it, Brian, I'm always the one doing the planning), I want to do everything. Go everywhere. Usually BB Gun is there to keep me grounded, but this time I was on my own. So why not try for it all: Vancouver to Salt Spring to Savary and back on a bicycle in just over a week. Whenever I mentioned my itinerary people would say "wow, that's gonna make for long days". And I thought, yes probably. But what am I going to do with myself all day on my own, if not bike? I had time to extend the trip if necessary, but I know myself. I don’t accomplish much without a deadline. So let's shoot for the proverbial stars. If I miss, I might hit the moon. Or a truck. 
Tumblr media
Such a keener. I zipped down the hill from our house and crossed my favourite bridge (Canada Line Bikeway: what a treasure), then navigated the chaos that is Richmond. I will always be salty at the lack of biking infrastructure in that city. After tackling the Alex Fraser bridge, which isn’t so bad after rush hour, it was a quick ride to Four Winds Brewing (closed, unfortunately), then left onto quiet, flat, rural roads, which lead me to Tsawassen. 
Tumblr media
Gavin and I took the ferry to Swartz Bay, then Salt Spring Island. The hill up from Fulford Harbour was a big wake-up call. As were the many hills leading to Ruckle Park. I did not pack light. Still, it was only the first day. Far too early to regret the book, hammock, and cans of wine stuffed into my panniers. I was slightly concerned with the many signs claiming Ruckle Park was full. That seemed odd for a Wednesday, so I carried on to the park anyway. I refilled my water and happened to meet another solo female cyclist also looking for a site. We found one, and decided to split it. 
Tumblr media
Earlier that day I realized I had put my tires on backwards. Like a ding dong. The tread should be going the OTHER WAY. But I could fix this!
Tumblr media
So pumped right now.
Tumblr media
After a pleasant evening of reading, wine, and conversation with my unexpected bike buddy, Lynn, I woke up to a deer roaming the campground. I had chocolate and instant coffee to get me back to Fulford Harbour, where I had proper coffee and one of the best samosas of my life. Lynn, on a day trip to Victoria, joined me. I was happy for the company. Our timing was perfect and we caught the early ferry. We took the Lochside Regional Trail from Swartz Bay to Victoria: a beautiful, mostly flat ride though rich grandparent territory. We stopped for lunch at Canoe Brewpub in downtown Victoria.  
Tumblr media
I had a top notch beet salad and a side of fries. I never regret a side of fries.
Tumblr media
Lynn and I parted ways after lunch. I rode the Galloping Goose trail out to Langford. The trail was full of pedestrians and unnecessarily slow cyclists (if Gavin, fully loaded and shaped like a brick, passes you on a hill, he is going to JUDGE you). Eventually I left the Goose and followed Google Maps through Thetis Lake Regional Park. 
Tumblr media
I too was enchanted at first by the charming name and dappled sunlight. I quickly learned, however, that Thetis Lake Regional Park is a hellhole for cyclists. Worse than Richmond. Richmond. The path wasn’t clearly marked and I found myself stopping, checking the map, and backtracking every two minutes. The loose gravel was a pain, especially on tight corners and steep hills, which I was barely able to walk Gavin up, because the ELEVATION in Thetis Lake Regional Park is absolutely UNNECESSARY. A truly regrettable experience. 
Once I finally made it out of that wretched labyrinth, I was only minutes away from Tessa’s place, which included a hot shower, Tessa, and most importantly: Sokka.
Tumblr media
This little ragdoll kitten is a huge fan of bikes!
Tumblr media
And walks!
Tumblr media
And backpack rides!
I had a great time hanging out with Tessa and watching Sokka play with anything and everything. I would die for this cat.
Day 3 began with an unfortunate but necessary backtrack through the nightmare that is Thetis Lake Regional Park, where I was instantly turned around and disheartened. I eventually found my way back to the Galloping Goose, then the Interurban Rail Trail, which took me through Saanich to the Mill Bay Ferry to cross the Saanich Inlet. No way was I going to haul Gavin up the Malahat. No. NO.  
I followed the Rotary Route through rural roads, some with shoulders and some without, and stopped in Cowichan Bay. I followed Tessa’s excellent recommendation and hit up the bakery, where I bought a pretzel, cinnamon bun, almond croissant, and cookie: my second breakfast, elevenses, luncheon, and afternoon tea. Bakery stockpiles became a daily routine. I was LIVING for CARBS. 
Tumblr media
The plan that day was to bike from Langford to Nanaimo, which was, as they say, a “big day”. The distance didn’t bother me as I knew what 100km with a loaded bike felt like, more or less. What did bother me was the elevation. It was impossible not to be taken aback by the sheer AUDACITY of each hill standing in my way. They came. They went. They came again and again, hour after hour. I dreaded each downhill because I knew I’d have to make up the elevation. 
It took half the day to realize there was nothing I could do about a climb except put Gavin into granny gear and keep going. It took as long as it took, and then it was over. There’s something wonderful in realizing that even the sweatiest hill is temporary, a blip. And every now and then I’d find an unexpectedly beautiful flat stretch and have the road to myself for a minute, and everything reset. 
Tumblr media
At Ladysmith the Rotary Route spit me out on the Trans Canada highway, which I rode for a handful of kilometers. I thought the highway would be dicey, but I was pleasantly surprised by the (mostly) wide shoulders and reasonable grade. Traffic whipped by, but I found it invigorating. The hardest part was keeping Gavin under the speed limit. I'd take the Trans Canada over Thetis Lake Regional Park any day. After the highway I hopped on some less busy roads, although the rush hour traffic picked up in the afternoon. I ended up in Nanaimo for dinner, where I found a perfect Mexican restaurant and local craft beer. After 116km, I felt surprisingly... normal.
Tumblr media
The day wasn’t over yet, however. The last 14km were a roller coaster, and not because of the elevation. When I left downtown Nanaimo, the bright blue sky faded to dull grey and I had suddenly run out of steam. Gavin was heavy. Time slowed. Moments like these, however, are why I travel with candy, and a bag of Swedish Berries saved my life. I ended up at Dave and Ann’s place with high spirits.
Tumblr media
I enjoyed a campfire at the lovely lake while the sugar rush faded, then fell asleep to the soft rustle-thud of ripe apples and pears falling to the grass. Tomorrow would also be a “big day”, but with more on the line: catching the 3pm ferry from Comox to Powell so I could get to Townsite Brewing before they closed.

okay a little while ago I submitted a post to @dr-tim-murphy about road-tripping with Tim (which you can find here) and I'm still thinking about it like GOD how cute would that be?? (some of this may be restating from last time so forgive me)
so you’ve both been recruited for some out of state convention thing, maybe a big conference, or the museum you work at is going to be helping with an exhibit somewhere else so you have to travel together, and you decide to drive because hey, you’ve got time, and also planes are hella expensive (and you’ll be able to transport some of the exhibit this way so all around it’s a good idea), and I can’t tell you how excited Tim is to spend time with you. (how’s THAT for a run on sentence?) 
you have to leave at like 4 in the morning so you can make good time and maybe have a little bit of time beforehand to rest or possibly see the city a tiny bit, so you both have the same bright idea to just wear some joggers or pj pants and a tshirt. when you meet him at the museum, you both do this double take when you realize what you’re both wearing. 
for a little context, I have this theory that people are automatically like a million times hotter when they’re not in the clothes you usually see them in? like if you see someone in casual clothes all the time, you’re gonna be blown away when you see them in fancy dress, but oppositely, if you always see someone in nice clothes, seeing them all domestic and comfortable will make your heart explode.
so needless to say, when you see Tim in his pjs, you’re immediately completely flustered, and he’s in the exact same boat. he is definitely immediately thinking of what it would be like to wake up next to you but shhh he’s definitely not gonna think about that The Whole Trip. you 100% spend maybe two whole minutes staring at each other before you manage to snap yourself out of your little trance let’s be real, you were thinking of the same thing by blubbering out a question about travel plans. 
eventually it’s decided that it’d be smart to take turns driving because the drive is long, and you both need rest. you had gotten more sleep than he had the night before, so you insist on taking the first shift. when you finally get situated and you on the road, you look to your side to find Tim curling up in the passenger seat cocooned in the blanket you had brought for this very reason. you meet eyes for a second and share a smile, before you return your eyes to the road (bc you’re a safe driver), and he goes straight to sleep.
you end up congratulating yourself literally a million times during the ride for having enough self restraint to not just take sneaky pictures of sleepy Tim the whole time he’s passed out. like it’s seriously a hazard how often you glance his way. it’s a crime how cute he is. every once in a while he’ll shift in his sleep or he’ll make some quiet snore noise, and you feel your chest cave in. at one point he squeaks?? somehow??? and dear god do you have it bad for this dork.
here’s the thing though. if you thought YOU driving was a hazard, try to think about TIM driving while you’re sleeping. that boy can’t keep his eyes on the road for the life of him. (I’m obviously kidding, he knows he has to be safe, but it’s definitely not easy.) he is genuinely straining to watch where he’s going. you just look so adorable with your hair all strewn about and the blanket pulled up to your chin, he can barely stop himself from just giggling constantly. I can’t even describe his gasp when you sneeze in your sleep. 
I’d like to bring this to your attention though: at some points he’s not even asleep. he wakes up off and on, but he doesn’t want to pull you out of your element, so he just stays as still as he can and peeks out at you from in his blanket burrito. you remain completely oblivious to the adorable man softly smiling at you and continue to drum on the steering wheel and hum along to your playlist, and Tim is Over The Moon. multiple times he catches you sending him little glances, smiling softly, and it takes every ounce of strength in that man’s body to not shoot up and kiss you right then and there. every time you sing quietly along to a guitar solo he has to hold in a tiny sigh because he can’t be discovered but dear GOD he’s in love with you.
(dear god guys this is so much I’m literally just rambling like come on renée just write a whole fanfic)
(but there will be more to come)

“Do you even know how to have fun?”
Tumblr media
Genre: angst to fluff, badboy!au
Warnings: language, mentions of drug abuse, underage drinking, mentions of sex
Pairing: Jeno x Reader
author’s note: this is my first request omg !! requested by @april-diamondthings, i hope you like it !!
if there was one thing you hated, that would be fuckboys
and, hate to break it to ya, but lee jeno was The Fuckboy at your school
everyone thought that jaemin was the school’s resident fuckboy but you knew better
after all, jeno had been your childhood best friend and has lived next door since you guys were in diapers
middle school came along, tho, and wiped out all friendship after you developed a crush on him and he didn’t feel the same and well... 
you guys drifted apart:/
senior year was coming to an end, and it was tradition for the seniors to throw a party with the juniors and pass on the torch of being top dogs of the school
that party, as per tradition, would have lots of underage drinking and drugs (don’t drink or do drugs, it’s not worth it guys!!)
since you had nothing better to do on a Friday night and your friends were bored, you figured why not go? 
besides, what’s the worst thing that could happen?
oh boy, were you about to wish you had just stayed home lmao
your parents all thought you were going to a friend‘s house (luckily none of your friends’ parents or your parents asked which bc uhhhhh y’all would have been found out real quick)
so since your parents were going to a family friend’s house for a lil party, you guys decided to leave at about 8
your small group of three friends climbed into your car and set out on your way
“Okay, guys. let’s make a pact: if one of us gets drunk, we will not let whoever it is get behind the wheel or drunk text. got it?” you announced, setting out ground rules for the night
your friends were all easy going and pretty responsible people, so needless to say, they all agreed
the venue was always the abandoned water park that your city had in the rundown part of town and every year, kids would sneak in months in advance and start decorating
they turned the old waterslides into fully functional slides again by running hoses, they’d string lights everywhere, and transform the wave pool into a skate park
of course, though, since your grade had a majority of the Dreamies (some weird clique that gave themselves a name, which Jeno was a part of), y’all were not prepared for half the shit they had in treat for that party
they deadass got one of the pools to work again
how? nobody knows to this very date, the Dreamies are a fuckin mystery
they also set up a swim-up bar in said pool, where a bunch of the seniors would be constantly pouring drinks for the whole night
a bon fire was going in one of the pools, where a bunch of kids gathered with their drinks and drugs and bs-ed for a while
when you guys arrived, bathing suits under your clothes, you came face to face with the thing of legends
juniors were invited every year, but you didn’t go last year so you had no idea what to expect
and lemme tell ya, it was not that
as soon as you climbed the fence to get in, you found yourself in a fucking amusement park
the kids you had gone to school with since kindergarten all ran around, partying out their last hoorah
like always, cliques stuck together but some intermingled
one of the Dreamies and one of your best friends greeted you right away
“Y/N! So nice of you to join us! We have drinks over there, hope you brought your bathing suit- oh, someone threw up on the fucking slide, damn it Chenle- and so much more pretty much all throughout! Gotta go relight those tiki torches, if you need anything just come find me!” -Haechan, 2k18
“I say we get a drink first,” one of your bffs suggested, pretty much signing everyone’s death warrants then and there
of course, nobody knew then that that’d be a big mistake
you guys put your clothing in one of the lockers the park had and went into the pool and over to the swim-up bar
“Mark! Long time no see, what the fuck is up, my man?” you asked the college boy serving drinks
you figured he had come back home to help out with the party bc 1) he used to be the leader of the Dreamies and Mark was 100% of their impulse control, and 2) they needed someone who actually knew how to make drinks to serve at the bar
“Hey, what’s up, Y/N? What can I get you?” 
“Whatever will fuck me up the fastest.” 
he didn’t bother to tell you what he had given you, and surprisingly (and fucking dumbly, too) you drank whatever it was in one go
“holy fucking shit, I’ve only ever seen one other person handle their strong ass liquor like that and that was a 40 year old alcoholic-” 
“give me more, bud!“
within the first hour of being there, Mark had you fucked up pretty good
you weren't completely drunk, but you were well on your way
because of this, everything was super fun and entertaining
Chenle’s dolphin impersonation in the pool? Hilarious
Jisung splashing the shit out of Renjun? Comedy gold
Jaemin trying to do the sexy lean against the side of the pool to hit on some poor girl and losing balance as he was asking her out? A gift from God
Haechan trying to stand up at the bottom of the water slide and falling flat on his ass? Hoy shit, the best thing since sliced bread
Everything was going great until you found yourself falling into someone’s arms
“Thanks-” you looked up to see who had caught you right before you fell off the ledge of the pool and your eyes locked with a pair you used to day dream in for years
Jeno
“You should watch where you’re going,” he muttered to you, helping you regain your balance
“Do you even know how to have fun?” 
that question stopped him dead in his tracks, somehow managing to freeze that cocky boy
“Do I know how to have fun?” he mumbled, unsure if he heard you right, partly amused by that question, “Oh, babe, you haven’t had fun until you’ve met me.” 
feeling pretty confident from the liquid courage, you said, “Then show me.” 
Jeno stared at you in shock, not knowing who exactly he was talking to
the last time you guys were considered friends was in junior high, and you had been so timid and he didn’t know how to bring you out of your shell
so jeno took your hand and whoosh! you were off for quite the adventure
first stop: the (fixed! vomit free!) water slides
pretty unsafe but they fixed up one of the ones that went almost straight down and jeno expected you to be super against it but nope, didn’t phase you in the least
“hold my beer” and down the slide you went
“I didn’t think you’d actually do it,” he told you at the bottom, helping you stand up
“Like I asked earlier, do you even know how to have fun?” 
oooooooh that was the wrong thing to say, because from that point on he made it his life goal to prove to you that he did, in fact, know how to have fun
since he had yet to drink or get high, he thought it’d be okay to impress you with his skateboarding abilities
in the ‘skate park’ he wasted no time in showing you all of his best tricks
“Show me how to be- how to be on X Games mode,” you demanded, wanting to know how the hell he stayed balanced enough to do that
the boy was super eager to have an excuse to be closer to you so of course he helped guide you on the board, keeping you on path and preventing you from falling off
his hands were on your waist to keep you steady, and in your heart you were excited because you had missed jeno being in your life but your mind said to cut that shit out right away
did you listen to your head? no, you listened to your heart
“well, was that enough?” he asked you, pulling you guys out of the skating area
“Nope, show me more,” you demanded, walking past the pool and the bar
jeno figured you weren’t paying attention to him so he mouthed :what the fuck did you give to her?!” to mark, and to his surprise, mark replied with “everything, bro! it’s my frat’s specialty. good luck getting her to function tomorrow!” 
jeno realized then that you needed to go home asap
“I’m gonna sit you down here and I will be back in a couple of seconds, okay?” he said as he forced you to sit down by the bon fire
he left you with a bunch of kids singing songs and rolling joints
luckily he appeared a few seconds later as promised, because you were getting more and more on board with trying drugs, too
“Here, drink this,” he told you, placing a red solo cup in your hands
your confused mind thought it was more beer so you chugged it, but became disappointed when the taste registered as just water
“I think that’s enough fun for tonight, yeah? Let’s get you home,” Jeno said, wrapping your arm around his shoulders and supporting your weight as you stumbled around everywhere
you pouted and bitched the whole time, wanting to stay longer
“can I pleeeeeease stay for a couple more minutes?” “no”
“can I please get another drink from Mark?” “No, I am going to have a conversation with Mark about what he serves people-”
“can we take a trip to the beach?” “no” 
“can I please hug Renjun? Oh, god, look at him, he’s so small I have to make sure he’s okay-” “Y/N, he’s so much taller than you are,” “don’t crush my fucking dreams, Jeno” 
“Jeno, I really don’t want to go...” “I really don’t care, you are completely shit faced, Y/N. It’s dangerous being this drunk! We are going home.” 
he put you in the passenger seat of his car and drove to your house, and the whole car ride you sat there and stared out the window
when he got to your front porch, you didn’t even need to pull the keys out, he took them from where your family hid it and unlocked the door
you were surprised that he even remembered that hiding spot from when you were kids
you both stumbled around in the dark, but finally you made it to your room
“Will you be okay to change into pajamas on your own?” he asked, worried about you getting hurt or falling asleep in the process
“Uhhhhh... yes. You can take some of my dad’s clothes,” you informed him, slurring your words to the point where he almost couldn’t understand
somehow, you managed to change out of your nasty party clothes and into pajamas
you curled up in bed while waiting for him to finish
when he came back into the room, he found you curled up into a ball on your bed, looking tiny in the sheets
just as he walked through the door to go downstairs, he heard a small and muffled, “Don’t go.” 
?
“Don’t you dare leave me again.” 
after that statement, of course he went back into your room and joined you under the covers
your body melted into his and you stared up into his eyes
“Do you ever miss it?” you asked him, suddenly sober again
“Miss what?” he asked, genuinely curious as to what you were talking about
“Being friends. Do you miss it?” 
“Of course I do, Y/N. You were my best friend...” 
“Then why did we let something as silly as a crush ruin it all?” 
“I... I don’t know.” 
“I fucking miss you so fucking much, Jeno. I miss you knocking on my window at three in the morning and coming over because you had a nightmare, I iss riding our bikes to the creek and searching for crawfish the whole day, I miss having snowball fights in the crazy old neighbor’s yard, I miss- I miss you, Jeno.” 
he gazed into your eyes, with an unknown glint that you could not place
he took your hand in his and did not let his eyes leave yours for one moment
“Did you know that my parents still ask about you every day? God, I miss you- I miss the way you’d break into my house and have random baking parties in my kitchen, I miss how you’d make me smell your hair when you’d try a new conditioner, I miss how you’d tease me over nicknames my family gave me, I- I. Miss you. So. Damn. Much, Y/N.” 
“Please don’t think that this is just a decision I made when I was drunk, because i have been thinking about this for a really long time,” you pleaded before stretching up and planting your lips on his
it wasn’t exactly how you had dreamed it’d be for the first time, but you couldn’t argue that it was bad
Jeno fell right into it, pulling your hips closer to him so he could take control of the kiss
that kiss felt like it lasted for years
when you finally broke the kiss for air, he said, “Y/N, please don't ever leave my side again.” 
“Trust me, I won’t.” 
After that, he fell asleep with you in his arms, not that you really minded lol
that night ended with sharing secrets and worrying about your drunk friends
let’s just say that that was the first of many more to come

[ Maybe I’ll. try to write down a list of things that happened in chronological order. It probably won’t have any set dates, or if it does it won’t be for every event, but maybe I can get some things down. ]
(I’m gonna start with what happened in w/k/m)
So that shit happens, the Colonel has his breakdown, and Wilford - enraged with the entire premise that the party was built on and near-delirious from losing half his damn family in one night - probably blows up on Will. Yes, Mark had his huge hand in it, but this wouldn’t have happened if Will didn’t have his hand in it with Celine, and the fact that Will’s son came of that whole tryst, and this, and that, it’s easily a berating that lasts for over an hour. 
Obviously they can’t stay at the manor anymore. Wilford collects his very young nephew and Will and packs them both off to a hotel for them to stay at and try to regroup. There’s probably some more unbridled rage on Wilford’s part, and he ends up leaving for the night - leaves Will alone with his son and his thoughts.
Will’s not certain where Wilford goes off to, but he comes back late into the night, disheveled and splattered with blood and dirt, and it’s unclear as to just who the blood belongs to. He looks tired; broken. (What happens is that he gets into a fight and, in his already poor state, things get out of hand. More than likely, he ends up with a genuine, accidental murder on his hands - the first he’s ever committed.)
They spend the rest of the night in silence. Wilford cleans himself up, they tend to a small Red who’s fussy and unable to settle down for sleep.
From then on, they start city-hopping.
While Wilford takes care of his broken brother and nephew, they tend to move from place to place quite a bit. Both to avoid any possible trouble that might come from the events that happened at the manor and the accidental murder that Wilford committed on his own. They’re effectively on the run for at least 5 years with a slew of fake identification papers and aliases and this and that.
Effectively cut off from the rest of their family. Mark is MIA, presumed dead, Doc has dropped off the face of the planet himself, and it’s too risky for them to be with their parents, both law-wise and for the fact that they’re clearly not aging anymore, at some point.
Will is... a lot of work. While Wilford tries to maintain the various odd jobs he takes up for them, he’s also trying to keep his brother together and safe. Will talks a lot about Celine and Damien like nothing happened - like they’re still presently in their lives. He sits around for hours talking to Red about his mother and his uncle, and how they’re going to have to visit them sometime, things of that nature. On top of that, Will tends to wander. Sometimes on his own, sometimes with Red. Never anywhere dangerous, but if he does, he almost never tells Wilford where he’s going or when he’s coming back. It stresses him out endlessly.
There’s at least one time, despite how far away they may be, that Will scoops Red up and they just leave, eventually ending up back at the manor.
It’s probably another 10 years still, around the time of WW2, before Will finally starts to stabilize and fall back into something like himself again. They settle down in some city and try to start a more steady life for their now three-year-old kiddo.
Wilford’s skeptical of his brother voluntarily joining the war effort (even amidst the draft), especially given what WW1 had done to him when he’d been of sound mind, but ultimately he doesn’t/can’t stop him. 
It’s around this time that Wilford juggles college (for a business degree) and his various odd jobs, as well as trying to care for Red. Red gets stuck with babysitters or in a daycare frequently, but Wilford tries to be there for the toddler as much as he can. He feels bad enough as it is dumping him off on a stranger, and it’s important for him to know that his entire family hasn’t abandoned him.
To add to the stress, this is about when Red starts having his nightmares about the manor and all that funky stuff that Wilford has 0 idea how to deal with. 
Will makes it back from the war in one piece, and they settle down again to try and find some semblance of normalcy in their lives. It’s probably around now that they resume their identities. 
(I’m thinking that they might’ve had some strings to pull with having a friend in government, so maybe at some point they had themselves declared legally dead, and at some point again they can have birth certificates, etc., forged again that allow them to use their normal names. I’m not 100% on how that shit works, but I do know that the court is fully capable of erasing people from records entirely if you know the right people. My mom exists nowhere bc of something like this.)
By now, Wilford’s done with school and in the process of opening up a candy shop that he owns for a very long time. It’s only when they decide it’s time to pick up and move again that he decides to sell it.
Will takes up odd-jobs here and there to keep up support while Wilford tries to get his thing going. He’s dabbled in a little bit of everything.
It’s after Wilford sells his shop for a small mint that they start to travel more here and there, both to satiate Will’s wanderlust and just to get out there and see the world while they can.
Will does go on solo excavation trips every now and again. He’s something more akin to an archaeologist for years and years.
Wilf probably decides to open a bakery at some point, still feeling like candy and treats are his true calling.
Wilford’s mental health is probably starting to decline. Every time Will comes back from one of his trips, Wilf’s... different. He’s a lot more forgetful, he starts to talk about things that happened years ago as if they only just happened yesterday, or haven’t happened yet. They get a letter from Doc at some point, and it’s a good few minutes before Wilford even remembers who exactly Doc is. He’s forgotten who Red himself was at least once.
Despite it not having been so pertinent in the beginning, Wilford was just as traumatized by the events of w/k/m as Will was, if not more so. His main problem is that his trauma was just left to fester as he took care of everybody else, and he’s got nothing but years and years of pent up rage and unresolved grief, and not just from the Event. 
Eventually, it gets bad enough that Wilford lets one of his more trusted employees take over his bakery and checks himself into a mental hospital in hopes of trying to get better for his family, despite Will’s insistence that he doesn’t. He’s not so far gone just yet, but it’s bad enough that he knows he’s a burden, and he doesn’t want that for them. 
It’s been a couple years since Will stopped his archaeology, uncomfortable with the idea of leaving his vulnerable brother and son alone for such long periods of time. It’s probably around now that he finds himself working in a zoo, eventually working his way up from a position low on the ladder to an actual zookeeper.
Despite Wilford’s absence from their lives, things seem to be moving along... normally. (Ignoring the fact that he and Will don’t age, and that Red ages very slowly. Ignoring the apparent supernatural elements of their existence.) For the first time in a very, very long time. 
I think it’s around the 1970s that the exposes on how poorly patients in mental hospitals were treated. Wilford had probably been in the care of one for closer to a year by the time these stories air.
Will, sick to his stomach, manages to break his brother out of the hospital he’d checked into. (I don’t have an exact story on how that happened, but it did.) It’s clear that Wilford hadn’t had a very nice time of things in there, and try as he might, Will can’t seem to get a story out of his brother. 
It’s likely that Will uses all of his accrued vacation time at once to stay home with Wilford for as long as it’ll allow him. Rather than opting to have someone take care of his brother - still skeptical after the asylum issue - he tries to take this on himself. 
Wilford’s functional, but Will’s still worried about him. He tries to look after his brother without making it seem like he’s taking on the patronizing role of a parent.
Because Wilford still technically owns the store, part of their income does come in from his bakery.
Wilford finds more and more as time goes on that, even though these memories are more than likely repressed by now, he finds himself increasingly passionate about the state of mental hospitals as they are then. 
It’s this passion that ultimately gets Wilford into the field of journalism, mostly in hopes of truly bringing these depraved institutions into light and getting these poor people the help they actually need - and possibly bringing these employees that had been treating them so poorly to justice. He wants to do good with his journalism.
This is the career he sticks with until present day, although his fields within the field of journalism do tend to change.
Despite this, his mental state is still on the decline. Instead of talking happily about things that happened in the past as if they were present, there are lots and lots of things he genuinely doesn’t remember, and it’s apparent that the things he does remember are fading as time goes on. Will does his best to make sure that he remembers the people who matter, him and Red and Doc, though it’s a lot harder for Wilford to hold onto people he doesn’t see regularly. Will and Red are faces he’ll never forget because they’re around him so constantly. A fair chunk of their childhood is gone, their teen years, their parents and Mark. The events of w/k/m have all but been stricken from his mind, along with the memories of Celine and Damien. His personality is a little more loose and eccentric, even for someone like him who’d always been a little on the strange side, his morals seem to be a little less strict, but on the whole he’s still a functional person and a capable, reputable journalist.
They start to pick back up on their travelling again, working around Red’s school schedule and making good use of Will’s flexible work schedule. (Having been there for so long, he has a little more leeway.) 
Will starts to take lots and lots of pictures, mostly for the benefit of Wilford’s poor memory. Eventually Wilford finds interest in this subject and takes up the picture-taking himself, both for what Will says is for the sake of his memory and for work. More than a couple of their abroad trips have been for various stories/interviews Wilford wants to run for his career.
It’s during this time that they probably move one final time, into the house that they live in currently with the rest of the family.
Will says goodbye to his job as a zookeeper and, in the pursuit of finding something else to satiate his wanderlust and satisfying an old interest of his, starts bottom rung in the train conductor field.
Wilford takes up his job as an investigative journalist, though short-lived due to his... unique way of conducting these interviews (see his reports/videos on Slenderman - his first and last endeavors in this field). His mental state is more akin to what you see in canon and on this blog. A general state of manic at all times.
It’s around now that they start falling into the routine that you generally see played out on this blog. Will eventually falls into becoming a stay at home parent, and Wilford runs his own talkshow with an online business or two on the side, rather than investigative reports.
While not mentioned above, it can be assumed that Wilford’s initial accidental murder was his first, but not his last. While not a frequent thing, it did still happen.
Will plays an integral part in not only hiding bodies, but covering up his brother’s involvement entirely in these murders.
This generally coincides with how much they move around before they get to their current house.
Will doesn’t remember a thing for the next 15 years after w/k/m. He has little to no knowledge of the specifics of his breakdown and things that coincided with those years, and since Wilford’s memory is shot and Red was so young, it’s a time period that’s all but lost to history, save for a few shoddy memories on Red’s part.
There are seemingly random events in time that Wilford does remember. There’s no rhyme or reason as to why these stuck with him, but they did, and he still remembers.
At some point, Wilford probably tried to start up his own circus with Will’s begrudging help. But it was around the time that circuses were falling out of popular entertainment, and it didn’t last for very long.
The mental hospital definitely had lasting effects on Wilford as a whole, those it’s unclear as to what specifically came from the hospital and what showed up as a result of his already deteriorating mind.
At some point in time, probably some short time after WW2, they did go and visit their parents again, if only to let them meet their slightly older grandson and find out how they were doing. 
After this, they do keep up writing letters with their parents for a while, but eventually - with all the moving around on both parts - things get lost in the mail and correspondence stops. The three of them don’t get a chance to say goodbye to their parents/grandparents.
Eventually, since they’re out of contact for so long even before Wilford starts to lose himself, Wilford does genuinely forget that both Doc and Mark exist. It doesn’t take long for him to rebuild a relationship with Doc once he enters the picture again (he remembers most of who he is), but it’s not an instant process.
I’m not sure when they find out that Mark’s still alive and kicking, but Will finds out first, and he definitely keeps that knowledge from Wilford for as long as he can, given that he was one of the direct catalysts for all the shit that’s happened. He doesn’t want to risk Wilford remembering the past and really losing his shit, and part of him feels (felt) like Mark doesn’t deserve the chance to reintegrate himself into the family.
While it wasn’t all readily apparent at first, Wilford’s mind didn’t deteriorate all at once. It started with little things that wouldn’t be missed because they didn’t talk about it anyway. Such as Doc and his disappearance, their childhood, their parents. That stuff slowly started to fade away first, but if Wilford doesn’t notice it himself and he doesn’t make it obvious, then no one knows it’s happening.
The Big traumatic events in Wilford’s life are not of the few things he remembers. They’re the reason he is the way he is.
Will worked as an assistant teacher/teacher’s aid in Red’s school for a very, very short amount of time at some point. He had a particularly fond bond with that teacher who’d been happy to let him come in and help out. It was a way to occupy his time and spend a little more time with his kid.
Somewhere more recently, though not too recent, Will had also taken up the hobby of beekeeping (he’s got a real, real fondness of bees). It didn’t last long, much to his dismay.
Wilford has journals upon journals chronicling important events in his life that he’s determined not to forget. They’re in trunks in the attic, although under a specific lock and key that Wilford only has access to.
While Wilford has had numerous trysts and flings throughout the years, Will may have only had one or two other vague interests before Tori and after Celine. He was in no state of mind to deal with a relationship, and he couldn’t bring himself to put Red into any awkward situation that that might bring along.
Will’s artifact collection is so vast because 90% of them were taken illegally from the dig sites. Go figure.
While not mentioned, Dark has always been a constant in Wilford’s life somehow or another. He’s always been as familiar to him as Red and Will have, even if they haven’t been dating the entire time.
Another short-lived endeavor of both Will and Wilford’s was owning/running a drive-in theater together. Will generally manned projection and the technical aspects and Wilford dealt with the public aspect.
Mechanic may have also been among Will’s odd jobs at some point.

The Treasure of the Sand
           “Historians believe this pyramid was constructed around 2100 BC…” Lexi explained.            “So, it’s significantly newer than the Great Pyramid,” Benton interrupted.            “Yes, I was getting there, but you already seemed to know that.  Scientists and historians all differ on the purpose of this pyramid.  All of the rulers’ remains from this time period have been recovered.”  Lexi continued.            “I know, I know.  The pyramid had gone undiscovered until the late 1800s.  Yadda yadda.  Too many people died to booby traps or uncanny coincidences.  No imaging tech has been able to fully explore.”            Lexi turned to face him with pursed lips and a stern stare. “If you already knew so much about this pyramid, why did you hire me?”            Benton chuckled, completely unfazed by her indignation.  “You didn’t really think a man offering a large amount of money for a solo trip to an off-limits pyramid after dark wanted a fricken tour, did you?”            “Well, no,” she averted her stare, slightly embarrassed by the misunderstanding.  “You Americans always want weird things.”            “And do you know what I’m paying you for?”            “Haha heh, not a tour,” Lexi went with the answer that she hoped would ease the awkwardness she was feeling.  She was apprehensive to hear what he had in mind. He smiled at that.  It was a kind smile, but layered through it was cunning, adventure, mischief, and greed.            “Indeed, not.  You’re going to help me break into the pyramid.”            “Why?” she returned to staring at him.  “Why would you want to do that?  People have died doing that.”            “Because it sounded like a great way to spend a Tuesday night.”  He laughed deeply.  “Because there’s treasure in there, and I want it.  And you seem interested.  I notice you haven’t said no.”            “What makes you so sure you can get this treasure?” She still hadn’t said no.            “With this book,” Benton flourished a book, “and your help,” Benton did a bow with his arm extended towards Lexi.  “I know all of the tricks to this here pyramid.”            Lexi thought it over.  This was the kind of adventure she needed to break out of Cairo and start traveling the world.  Success always came with risks.  “Fine. You go first.  At the first sign of you not being in control, I’m out of here.” Benton just smiled confidently and gestured for her to lead them to the entrance.            Many pyramids were rather linear in construction. However, this particular pyramid was a labyrinth.  Lexi noticed that Benton spent more time looking at his book with the flashlight than he spent looking where he was going.  And yet, so far so good.  Occasionally, he would call out instructions or read from his book excerpts like “a heavy foot on the sand will sink, but a light foot on the stone would soar to the heavens” or “the kids are laughing and singing their songs, skipping up the circles to play their games.”            There were plenty of skeleton, picked clean.  Lexi didn’t want to think about what would do that… what could live in the permanent darkness of the inside of this pyramid. For all of her bravery and confidence earlier, she no longer had a clear sense of the right way out.  If she lost Benton, she might wander until she became a skeleton herself.  Or the booby traps would get her first.            Benton stopped and read a section of his book. Then, he spoke up.  “Follow me, exactly.  See this hole in the wall?  Every three feet, there will be one.  They alternate high and low.  We step over the first, and then we duck under the second.  Got it?”  Lexi nodded when he lit up her face with the outer edge of his flashlight’s light.            Benton took an exaggerated step.  Then, he crouched low and duck walked a few feet forward. He stood and beckoned for Lexi to take her first step over the alleged booby trap.  He continued on, stepping over the next.  Each movement was fluid, practiced.  It looked like he trained for this very sort of thing.  Lexi followed him exactly.            Towards the end, she crouched too close to the previous hole.  An unseen force threw her against the wall.  “Lexi!” Benton turned quickly and carefully to check on her.  A spear had pierced her backpack and embedded itself on the far wall.  “Lexi. You’re okay.  Listen to me.  You’re safe a few feet behind you, but don’t move too far forward yet.  Take off your backpack and leave it behind.  Then, keep following me.”  Lexi nodded, breathless.  Her thick black hair was sticking out in different directions from her rapid flight.  Slowly, afraid moving too fast would somehow be her downfall, she slipped one arm out of the backpack at a time.  When she was free, she continued forward, ducking underneath the next hole.            Despite the close call, they made it out the other side unscathed.  “I hope you didn’t have anything important in that bag,” mused Benton, both serious and teasing.            “Oh, sure, nothing important at all.  The first aid kit was there, so try not to get hurt. And I hope you lead us to the treasure soon, since we have no food or water if we get lost.  After you.”  Lexi said that last part with a firmness that meant he had better know what he’s doing. She was sure now she would never find the way out on her own.            Benton continued to lead them through forks in the path and less terrifying booby traps.  He even claimed if she stepped in the wrong place at one part, there’d be an Indian Jones style rock to roll after her.  She had to take his word for it, since they never tripped that alleged booby trap.  Finally, Benton stopped at the entrance to a large chamber.  “This should be it,” he spoke slowly, not even looking up from his book to study the room with his flashlight.            “This I’ve got to see,” Lexi started to rush ahead. Benton’s arm shot out and stopped her before she passed him.            “Hold on, we don’t know if this is booby trapped.”            “Well, what does your book say?” asked Lexi, her voice tinted with accusation.            “Sink or swim, the choice to make.  Those who don’t flee shall meet their fate.  Be it treasure or torture, the rising tides decide.”            “Good job.  That’s just vague enough to work.”  Benton hummed to himself as a response to her jab.  He had to think about this and compare it to what he was seeing.            “Lexi, do you see that goblet?”  Benton flashed his light at a golden goblet a few feet closer to him than the center of the room.            “Oh, no, that can’t be good.  That looks like a trap well and good.”            “Perhaps it is, but do you see any other treasure around?” Lexi answered him with silence. She had obviously noticed.  “The final clue indicates we have to best one final challenge before we can recover the treasure.  Now, I don’t see any openings, which makes me think we need to trigger the booby trap before we can escape.”            “What if I wait here where it’s safe and you try it?”            “I really don’t think that’s a good idea.  You probably won’t be safe.  Besides, I heard you mumbling about how lost we are.”  Lexi looked surprised.            “You have the knowledge, your book, and you can speak Arabic?  Why did you need me?”            “I have my reasons.”  Benton turned to face the goblet.  “Shall we?”  He held his hand out in a cooperative gesture but kept it out of her reach so she couldn’t take it.  He started forward, and, as he expected, she followed.  Nothing was happening.  They looked around.  Benton shrugged, stooped down, and picked up the goblet.            The stone under it moved up as he removed the goblet. Instantly, a massive stone fell, blocking their exit with a mighty crash.  “This is it!” Benton exclaimed, a broad, adrenaline-filled smile on his face. Lexi didn’t share his enthusiasm. They shot their flashlights everywhere, waiting to see what would happen.            After about a minute, Lexi spoke up, “Hey, where’s that sound coming from?”            “It sounds like someone is shaking an hourglass.” Their flashlights focused on some dust falling from the ceiling.  What they originally took to be residual debris from the entrance collapsing, they realized was actually sand falling from the ceiling.  They looked around the room.  There were more growing piles of sand.  The sand was coming from holes that opened in the ceiling.            “I thought you said some door would open up.  I don’t see any way out, and we’re going to get buried alive.”  The sand had fully coated the floor, and it was rising at an alarming rate.  It wasn’t super fast or anything like that, but panic has a way of making a person feel he or she is out of time.  Lexi tried to step up onto the sand, but her foot sank a bit and new sand began to cover it.  Benton was on his back next to her, trying to float.  He coughed some sand out of his mouth.            “That’s not going to work,” he said with an amused chuckle.            “Then tell me, what is going to work?!”  They were standing on roughly a foot of sand, and more sand was up past their knees.            “I said there would be a door.  There’s got to be a door.”  He looked around.  The room was getting hazy with dust particles.  As he wiggled himself to try and get above some more sand, his eye caught something in the flashlight’s beam.  “Hey, Lexi, look here.”  She didn’t stop squirming to stay above the sand as she followed his flashlight.  “This hole in the ceiling doesn’t have sand falling from it.  Maybe it’s our way out.”            “But how are we supposed to get up there?  That’s still ten feet above us.”            “We wait it out and let the sand carry us up, I suppose.”            “That’s crazy.  What if it isn’t the way out?  Then, it’ll be too late.”            “Do you trust me?” Benton asked her, this time extending his hand to her to hold.            “For some reason, I do,” she replied, taking his hand. It took them minutes of crawling, scampering, and sliding through the sand before they got close enough to the hole. Benton kept his flashlight fixed on it.            “I think there’s a big space on the other side, perhaps an air pocket.  I can’t see the walls.  It might be big.”  The ceiling of the chamber was level with their heads.  It was this hole or their quick, painful deaths.  They huddled close to line up with the hole, still treading sand to try and stay up.  “I might be able to reach,” Benton said through clenched teeth.  With a mighty effort, he tried to jump up.  His fingers caught the other side of the ceiling.  It took all of his strength to pull himself up. When he looked back down, only Lexi’s head was above the sand, and the sand had reached the ceiling.  “Give me your hands, I’ll pull you up.”  She reached her arms up, and her head bobbed under the sand.  Benton grabbed her by the forearms and hoisted her up.  As she whipped out of the sand, she gasped for air, sand spilling out of her everywhere.  He dragged her up to him.            They looked around and gasped.  Before them was arrayed far more than a single king’s fortune. They were looking at the largest single find in all of Egypt, and it was all theirs.  They were speechless for a few moments until they were all wide smiles and bright eyes.

Trick or Treat (Part Two)
Tumblr media
GIF from the amazing and lovely @tomshollandss but I just had to post it bc it wouldn’t show up in my GIF search like it did for the last part. I seriously love this (and you!!) Kelly!! 
A/N: So I decided I want this series to be finished on/before Halloween so I gotta get my shit together and finish it up but I got about 5 days to finish. Huge shout out again to @dej-okay for being amazing and reading over this for me, i love you and seriously thank you so much. 
Pairing: Peter Parker x reader
Word Count: 1157 (told you it’s be longer this time!) 
Masterlist     ----     Part One 
(Y/N) is woken up to the smell of breakfast. Still on the couch where her and Peter fell asleep the night before watching Halloween movies, she sits up, stretches and yawns before she feels familiar arms wrap around her from over the back of the couch.
“G’morning. Did you sleep well?” Peter kisses her on the cheek before she stands and walks around the couch to meet him.
“I did, well as well as you can on a couch. You?” She asks as she wraps her arms around his neck pulling him into a hug.
Peter wraps his arms around her waist and mumbles, “course I did, you were here,” into her hair before he pulls away.
“Come on, May and I tried to make breakfast.”
The pair walk to the small dining area and are greeted with waffles, american fries, bacon and strawberry and banana smoothies all set out on the table.
“I sat the table while Peter went to wake you up. I hope all of this is okay?”
“May, it’s more than okay! Thank you both so much,” (Y/N) says as her and peter take their seats, May on the far right, then Peter in the middle, and (Y/N) at the end.
“Alright kids, dig in!”
Breakfast is filled with eating, laughter, talk about school and projects, talk about your job at the coffee shop down the street from the Parker’s apartment, and now talk about going trick or treating.
“Don’t you think you two are just a little old to be going trick or treating?”
“Oh come on May!” Peter says with fake exasperation.
May throws her hands up laughing in surrender, “Come on you two. I helped cook and set the table, you two get to clean up and do the dishes.”
“”Bu- Alright. Come on (Y/N) let’s get this done with so we can go shopping.”
(Y/N) had almost forgotten that they needed to go shopping for costumes.
About 45 minutes and a splashing battle later, (Y/N) and Peter were soaked from the waist up, but done with the dishes.
“I need to take a shower, get some fresh clothes, and get ready if we’re going costume shopping today,” (Y/N) says as she and Peter walk back to Peter’s room, “Which means I need to head back to my apartment. Soo… I’ll come by and pick you up in about an hour, maybe two?”
“Whatever’s good for you. Want me to walk you down to your car?”
(Y/N) nods and picks her her purse and backpack she had brought over after school yesterday. (Y/N) says goodbye to May and gives her a hug before her and Peter race each other down the stairs to get to the bottom floor.
Peter wins.
“You never let me win do you, Parker?” (Y/N) says with another laugh and a smile that makes Peter melt.
“Oh and why would I do that?”
“Because you love me?”
“Well, you got me there.”
(Y/N) and Peter reach her car before anything else is said. They say their goodbyes, share a kiss or two, and Peter watches her drive off. After she’s turned the corner and he can’t see her anymore, he runs back up to his apartment to start getting ready to go shopping for costumes.
Once (Y/N) reaches her apartment she jumps in the shower to take a quick one so she can start getting ready for her day of shopping with Peter. While in the shower she gets shampoo in her eyes and has to rinse them out. Then when she’s washing her face, she gets soap in her eyes and has to rinse them out again.
Once she’s finally done in her bathroom she steps into her considerably colder bedroom to decide what to wear for the day. (Y/N) decides on a pair of jeans and a dark blue t-shirt with Captain America’s shield on it.
About 30 minutes later, (Y/N) is finished with her makeup and heads to the bathroom to do her hair. And with another 15 minutes gone, her hair is curled and pulled out of her face.
BUZZ BUZZ
A text from Peter
Hey, I’m not sure how much you have left to get ready but I’m ready to go! I’m so excited! 😁😁
I just finished getting ready. I’ll be over asap
Oh and I’m really excited too! 😁😁
Okay I’ll see you when you get here
Love you! 😘
Love you too Parker 😘
About 20 minutes later (Y/N) was knocking on Peter’s apartment door.
“He- “ Peter cut himself off when he saw what shirt (Y/N) had decided to wear, “Babe, I think you chose the wrong team.” He says full of fake irritation, saying the same thing everytime she wears the shirt with the shield on it.
“Nah, I’m always on your team. You ready to go?”
Peter nods and calls bye to May telling her they were finally off to go buy costumes.
Again Peter and (Y/N) race down the stairs, this time with a different winner. And the couple laugh all the way to the car, (Y/N) driving.
“I’m just saying you only won because I tripped when we first started. Which I blame on you!”
“Okay Parker, whatever makes you feel better about finally losing. “
The rest of the ride is filled with laughter and trying to decide what kind of costumes they were looking for.
Random? Couples costumes? Funny? Geeky?
Peter knew that there were always a lot of options but now that he was actually shopping for one he was a bit overwhelmed.
“What if we don’t find some we like (Y/N)?? What will we do then??”
“Peter, honey, calm down. We’ll find some, and if we don’t, then we can make our own!”
Peter seemed to lighten up after that.
“Hey look at that, we’re here. Ready Pete?”
“Of course. Come on, let’s go!”
Of course he beat her in the store already looking around at all the costumes that hung around on racks, all the displays that hung from the ceiling, and all the decorations that hung on the walls.
(Y/N) let Peter walk up and down the isles smiling at him in a state of awe from all the choices he had at the halloween store. (Y/N) had stopped to look at her phone when she heard Peter calling her name from the next isle over.
“(Y/N)! (Y/N)! Come here!”
“What have you found this time Peter? Another Spiderman costume?”
“No! Something better, we kinda, the couple's costumes.”
“Alright well, what kind do you want to do? Something funny? Or…” (Y/N) trailed off looking around at all the costumes on the racks.
“OH! How about these (Y/N)??”
(Y/N) turns to see what costumes that had Peter so excited.
Princess Leia and Han Solo.

Sterek Fic Rec (last updated 21.2.17)
Stiles is used to selling himself to make ends meet. But it's getting harder to keep those ends meeting, and there's only so much of Stiles to go around. Until a too-fancy car shows up in his neighborhood, and he meets Derek Hale.All Derek wants is Stiles's time, someone to stay on his arm for events and smile for the cameras. It's the easiest job Stiles has ever had, the best-paying one he's ever had, and he's more than happy to sign up.Derek is everything and nothing Stiles expects him to be, with his tailored suits, sharp mind and his quiet way of caring. But it's just a job and Stiles never meant to fall in love.Hey :) because I’m always searching for new sterek fanfics on tumblr and I love seeing Sterek Fic Recs  I decited to make a post with all of my favourite (can I get this word even bigger? bc I love those fics to death!)

Prince Among Wolves by  tylerfucklin (Deshonanana) | 101k, Explict | kid fic |
Looking for full day/evening sitter. 2 twin boys age 4. Must have exp. w/werewolves. Must be human. No pedophiles. No teenage girls. Pay negotiable. 
Home by  TheTypewriterGirl  | 160k, not finished yet 17/18!! |  @stiles-and-the-sourwolf |
January seventh. Seven days since the start of 2015, and seven days since his father’s death.
The bastard, he thinks bitterly. The past year Derek Hale had made it blatantly obvious that he hated his scrawny guts, taking every given opportunity to shove him up against a wall, growl threats in his ears and roll his eyes whenever he stepped into the room, muttering some snide comment about how spastic or idiotic he was.
So why did he fucking volunteer to take him in?
Move a Mountain by  ZainClaw | 69k, Explict | road trip/biker fic | @zainclaw |
Stiles goes camping with his friends in New Mexico after graduation where they befriend a biker gang led by Derek: a guy whom Stiles can’t decide if he will be either relieved or devastated to never see again once their week is up.
my wings a hurricane by  kellifer_fic | 20k | dracon fic | @kellifer-k |
Stiles had been like any other kid growing up in the era of dragons. He'd watched the cartoons, the news stories, had the lunch box. When his screening at Beacon Hills High had come up negative, he'd been disappointed but unsurprised. His positive results were returned three years too late for it to be in any way convenient or cool.
Or, the one where they ride dragons.
Fly a Little Faster by mirrorkill | 32k | time travel fic | @mirrorkill |
Everyone knows when you go back in time, you shouldn't step on an ant, just in case you accidentally kill your own grandparent or something. But what happens when you go back in time and, uh, accidentally interrupt the one event that apparently made the Grumpiest Alpha in Town into a ball of mindless manpain?
Well, if Marty McFly can do it, so can Stiles Stilinski. All he has to do is get Derek and Paige to fall in love before he gets pulled back to his own time. And before he makes anything worse. That's easy as pie, right? Right?
Sweeter Than a Cherry Pie by  kitsunequeen | 5k | pretend relationship | @stilesbansheequeen |
When Cora asks Stiles to be her pretend boyfriend for a New Year's family dinner, he figures he can do a friend a favor. When he hooks up with an incredible guy, Derek, the night before, only to wake up alone in the morning, he supposes he can handle that too. But when he shows up at Cora's house and Derek turns out to be her brother, well... that's a bit of a bigger problem.
Hale of a time by  jamesm97 | 3k | halebait!stiles | 
Stiles knows that his werewolf family are acting weird around him, not that that's strange they are werewolves after all but they don't know that he knows they are. They seem to be getting progressively touchy feely as his 16th birthday approaches.
HALEBAIT! STILES STILINSKI - where all the Hales are attracted to Stiles, but only one of them is insanely in love & lust with him
Settle down by  wearing_tearing, whatthehale | 153k, Explict | mpreg!!| @hoechliniseverything ( whatthehale) @dylansneck (wearing_tearing) |
Stiles is a struggling author barely making ends meet.
Derek is a successful architect whose biological clock is ticking.
Enter a surrogacy agency, two packs, and a particularly sticky and toe curling heat week and you get a match made in heaven.
Stilinski’s Home for Wayward Wolves by  owlpostagain | 35k | 
“At least your puppies knock first,” Stiles snorts. “Here I thought their alpha raised them to be well-mannered.” 


“There’s a sign,” Derek responds stiffly. 


Stiles, whose curiosity outweighs even his hardest of grudges, abandons his chilly façade of nonchalance in a heartbeat. He jumps right up and all but pushes Derek out of the way in his effort to get to the window, and sure enough when he leans outside there’s a laminated strip of cardstock duct taped to the vinyl siding: 


DON’T FORGET TO KNOCK Stiles gets cranky when we scare him
---
Or, in which Stiles Stilinski moves to Beacon Hills for his junior year of high school and accidentally adopts a pack of teenage werewolves.
I Was Present While You Were Unconscious by  CharWright5 | 19k, Mature | @kitstiles |
Stiles had often thought about how he'd meet his soul mate, the literal muscular man of his dreams. He just didn't ever imagine finding him on Facebook where a friend had shared a news article about a werewolf John Doe in a coma after a car wreck four hours out of town. And he also didn't expect to bond and fall in love with the guy's family before ever saying two words to him out loud.
But Not With Haste by  uraneia | 21k, Explict | x-man AU |
It's been years since Derek escaped from the hunters who killed his family and bound him in his human form. He travels solo, never staying in one place, keeping under the radar--until a skinny, smart-mouthed kid stows away in the back of his truck.
Four months ago Stiles's first kiss put his best friend in a coma. His dad gave him a couple hundred bucks and a hug and told him to run. By the time Stiles witnesses the cage fighter known as Wolverine take out a shotgun and its wielder with his bare hands, he's got a plan. He knows there's a school in New York for kids like him. All he has to do is get there.
OR, in which Derek is the werewolf version of Wolverine and Stiles is Rogue and the plot of X-Men progresses accordingly, with a few notable deviations.
Cornerstone by  Vendelin | 84k, Explict | @ljummen |
Suffering from PTSD, ex-Marine Derek Hale moves back to Beacon Hills to open a bookshop and find a calmer life. That’s where he meets Stiles, completely by accident. Stiles is talkative, charming and curious. Somehow, despite the fact that he’s blind, he’s able to read Derek like no one else.
just to know your name by  bibliosexual | 3k | @bibliosexxual |
They're about fifteen minutes into the Skype call on Tuesday night when this guy wanders straight out of one of Derek’s wet dreams and into the frame, wearing nothing but black boxer briefs and a tight grey Guns N’ Roses tee. He’s lithely muscled, with a cute upturned nose and some of the most beautiful bone structure Derek has ever seen. Derek can see his nipples through his shirt. He feels all the blood in his body rushing to his dick.
“There should be a note about that on page nineteen,” Scott is saying, distantly, while Mystery Guy yawns adorably, nose scrunching, and runs a hand through his messy hair. He looks like he’s totally oblivious to Scott’s webcam, or to Scott. He looks like he just woke up. He looks like something out of an underwear ad, or softcore porn.
Mystery Guy bends down, thigh muscles flexing, and starts digging through Scott’s dresser drawers for a pair of sweatpants. Scott doesn’t ever turn around. He just keeps talking about… something. Something unimportant.
Mystery Guy has a mole high up on the back of his right thigh and Derek wants to lick it.
Bite Down Hard by  KuriKuri | 26k, Explict | @authorkurikuri
For a moment, Derek can’t breathe.Because moles aren’t the only thing marring the pale skin of Stiles’ neck. Oh no, that’s –– that’s a bond bite. A bond bite which Stiles definitely did not have yesterday, and which appears to have roughly the same dimensions as Derek’s own mouth.Shit.
(Or: In which Secret Service Agent Derek Hale accidentally gets bonded to First Son Stiles Stilinski. Oops.)
Tangled Up In You by  Morgana, Winchesterek | 105k, Explict | BDSM! | @sterekbros
Something is missing from Stiles’ sex life. Maybe it’s the fact that none of his partners share any of his kinks. While doing laundry over Thanksgiving break at Berkeley, Scott finds a flyer adverting, “WALK ON THE WILD SIDE! LET US TAKE YOU INTO THE DARKNESS AND BRING YOU SAFELY OUT AGAIN! EXPERIENCE PLEASURE AND PAIN AT THE HANDS OF ONE OF OUR EXPERIENCED, DISCREET PROFESSIONALS.” Stiles thinks it’s his kinda thing, but doesn’t have the money to pay for a session. Scott offers, only if Stiles refrains from telling him all about his kinky needs, so Stiles agrees. Enter Derek Hale, professional dominant. Stiles has his first session with Derek and can’t get enough (plus, Derek is HOT and Stiles just wants him all for himself).
It’s a Schlong Story by  floatingstark | 33k, Explict | ex-porn star Derek | 
"Do you like him?"
"Of course I do, he’s great!"
"Then what is the fucking problem?"
"My dick!"
-or-
Ex-Porn Star Derek Hale has a lot of issues but Ice Cream Parlor Owner Stiles Stilinski is not one of them.
I Might Be A Fool by  prettylittlementirosa | 35k, Explict| College AU |  @bisexualbcky
The thing about Stiles, though, is that for him, turned on and angry are not mutually exclusive feelings. He may be painfully hard but that doesn’t mean he’s not also ready to strangle Derek for having the audacity to act like this is something that’s happening to him, not something that is almost entirely his fault. So when Derek let’s out what must be his hundredth long-suffering sigh, Stiles snaps.
(or the one that was supposed to be a GRΣΣK AU but is mostly just a study in the gratuitous and inconsistent use of punctuation)
Expiration Dates by  KaliopeShipsIt | 227k, Mature | mpreg! | @kaliopeshipsit 
When 13-year old orphaned Derek Hale tests positive as a male carrier, his newly appointed guardian and uncle Peter uses his influence to make the test result go away, aware that in their deeply carrier-phobic society his nephew’s status could prove to be the downfall of the family company.
16 years later Derek is pressured into firing eight months-pregnant Danny Mahealani, creating a publicity scandal that, as the Equal Rights for Carriers movement gains more and more ground, results in an unprecedented media outrage targeted towards Hale & Argent Publishers.
A very reluctant Derek finds himself forced into defending his company’s prejudiced views on national television, facing off in heated debates against Stiles Stilinski, a guy he happened to have a one-night stand with months ago and has been pining over ever since. Stiles is a disgruntled former Hale & Argent employee, a staunch supporter of the ERC movement, he hates everything Derek stands for … and, courtesy of an expired condom, he’s also, unknowingly, the father of the child Derek wasn’t even aware he could carry in the first place.
Between Dusk and Dawn by  impalagirl, wilddragonflying | 19k, Mature| vampire fic | 
He's in the middle of a crowded bar when he smells it. For the first time in fifty years, Stiles Stilinski's mouth begins to water, and he's suddenly on high alert, twisting in his seat to scan the room with sharp eyes. Of course, it doesn't take long to spot him. He's as gorgeous as ever, tall and broad with dark hair and light eyes. He's wearing glasses this time, and damn, he looks good with a beard. Stiles had almost forgotten that; it's been so long since he's seen him with more than yesterday's stubble.
Marks and Mics by  DLanaDHZ | 70k, Mature | Soulmate AU | @dlanadhz
Hale siblings Derek and Laura have been hired to run security for Stiles Stilinski's music tour. Business as usual, except someone is trying really hard to prove they're incapable and hurt Stiles. Derek finds himself curious about Stiles' bitter attitude and a strange illness that plagues the singer. And on top of that, Derek's soulmate remains elusive.
I Hunt For You With Bloody Feet by CharWright5 | 200k, Explict | SoulmateAU Stillinski Twins | @kitstiles
“Mates don't always mean happy ever after.”
When twenty-year-old born omega werewolf Stiles Stilinski received that cryptic email from his twin brother—who'd been missing for two years exactly—in a language the two of them had made up, his drive to find Stuart is doubled. The search leads him to Oak Creek, the most secured and heavily fortified city in all of California, where he finds that not only is his brother dead, but also the literal alpha of his Dreams in Derek Hale—who just happens to be his twin's Mate and the main suspect in Stiles' eyes. Despite an agreement to fight mutual feelings, the two are still drawn to each other as they try to solve the case themselves, uncovering a plot that goes deeper than the murder of just one wolf.
Hidden Omega by  Akinasky | 107k, Explict | College fic | 
As Stiles leaves for college, he must hide who he really is and then he meets his roommate and likes him ... a lot only there is no chance for him to fill the needs that Stiles has as an Omega. Then he also finds his Alpha, Derek Hale (of course) and they all struggle to find their way and learning more about the special aspects of being an Omega and trying to have a unique relationship that will never be typical especially with Stiles, pushing and bossy Stiles as the Omega.
Fucked Up Like You by  damnfancyscotch | 38k | @damnfancyscotch
The boy was dirty. Very dirty. Most likely from the trap he’d been found in, the leg snare Derek figured, even though Peter hadn’t mentioned what type of trap it was. Mud dried and flaked off in patches on his left forearm, caked into the front of his sleeveless rough-hewn tunic and threadbare pants, up from his bare feet all the way to his knees, a dark streak painting the right side of his neck and continuing up into his clumsily cut brown hair - clearly he’d done it himself with a knife and perhaps no reflective surface, though judging by his appearance, a pond or puddle could have done just fine for him. Derek realized a lot of the spots he assumed to be mud were actually moles that dotted all along the boy’s skin.
Derek watched as the boy studied him back in silence, sitting with his arms wrapped tightly around himself. He stared hard at the crescent-shaped insignia picked out in silver and green sewn onto the dark gray fabric over Derek’s heart, a slight frown wrinkling his brow. The boy had to know about the Hales if he was part of the Argent pack.
“What’s your name?”
“St… Stiles.”
I Could Be Long Gone by  idratherwrite | 26k, Explict | A/B/O-Dynamics | @ashleighblogs
Humans alphas and betas are used to treating human omegas like objects. Stiles and his father have managed to hide for years the fact that Stiles is an omega. When Stiles arrives at Beacon Hills he meets one Scott McCall and his friends and family, who are hiding an even bigger secret.
It's almost everything that Stiles wants.
Baking My Way Into Your Heart by theSilence | 178k, Mature | College AU | @effinlemon |
Derek is an uptight college student, all work and no play. His carefully scheduled life is thrown kilter when his regular barista is replaced with someone new.
A Princely Claim by  kaistrex (weishen) | 40k, Explict | Royal Stiles | @kaistrex
In a world where werewolves die if they’re unable to Claim their mate and to refuse them is classed as murder, Alpha Derek Hale makes his very public Claim for Crown Prince Stiles of Beacon. The Royal Family are left with no choice but to accept, no matter the Prince’s imminent marriage to Princess Lydia of Kanima, to whom he’s been betrothed since birth. After having already faced the future of one loveless marriage, Prince Stiles is determined to make things with Derek work.
Kaleidoscope by  Vendelin | 54k, Explict | @ljummen
Stiles spends a year before college working at the all-night coffee shop in town. It's nice and quiet, until one dark and brooding Derek starts coming in every morning, ordering coffee so strong that it should not be fit for human consumption. Ever. Stiles tries not to be affected by the mystery guy, but it's not like anything else happens around here, so really, what did you expect? And when he's already in too deep, he realises he might even be in way over his head...
Play Crack the Sky by  WeAreTheCyclones | 122k, Mature | Rock Band AU | @wearethecyclones
Excerpt from “Hale Pulls the Plug on the Future of Rock,” Rolling Stone, Issue 1203 – Oct. 2014 “Fans and music industry vets alike are left reeling in the wake of bassist Derek Hale’s sudden departure from Smokes for Harris. At a time when the foursome from Beacon Hills, California seems to be on the cusp of rock superstardom after just one double platinum record, Smokes has everything to lose.”
Excerpt from “Smokes for Harris: Gladiator,” SPIN.com – Feb. 2015 “Smokes for Harris gives in a little to the pop punk of yesteryear in their sophomore effort, but rather than pandering to fans of a lost era they elevate the genre in a way that hasn’t been seen in quite some time. Frontman Stiles Stilinski works double duty as singer and primary songwriter and proves that he can handle the task even without former bassist Derek Hale."
Grey Rainbow by  LoveActually_rps | 13k, Mature | @loveactually-rps
“Stiles?” Derek glanced at Stiles’ sleeping form. He didn’t even twitch. Derek continued. “If we…” his lips curved in a fond smile, fingers moving to smooth the creases of Stiles’ eyebrows, his voice coming as whisper. “... as in, you and me - If we get a chance someday… any day, to be together, y’know? I wouldn't mind you wooing me with flowers and all that cliched romantic shit. And you can even flirt with me. I approve.” He gazed at Stiles’ calm face for a long while before drifting off into quiet slumber with the sound of Stiles’ soft snoring in the background.
[aka, after pinning for his best friend for four years, Derek learns his teenage crush is easy, but his life isn’t]
Animal Instincts by BlueRunawayMoon | 262k, Explict | 2nd part is NOT FINISHED | @
Things are not going well for Stiles. Not only is he drifting from the pack, but he cant sleep and hardly eats, and its never been more clear to him that being a human leaves him at a major disadvantage. As if things weren't bad enough, he and Malia are on the rocks, and then there is the fact that Derek wants to kill him, of course. Derek, who he dreams about every night. Derek, who is losing control of his inner wolf, when said wolf seems to want Stiles dead.
But because Stiles is the universe's bitch, a new, terrifying and seemingly unbeatable monster arrives in Beacon Hills, and the pack have no idea how to stop it. When people start going crazy and attacking others, the Pack learn the creature is involved somehow. Now, with Stiles life in jeopardy, they must find a way to cure him before its too late.
Slow burn with lots of sexual tension and build up.
*There is a Stiles/Original Character pair up, but end game is Sterek. Pinky promise :) *
Strong Alpha, Strong Pups by  Snare | 7k, Explict | A/B/O -Dynamics | @4fuxake​
Omegas are weak. Stiles is an Omega, but Stiles has magic. Stiles is strong.
Stiles is strong, so Alpha needs to be stronger. Strong Alpha, strong pups.
Stripped & Polished by  Morgana, Winchesterek | 77k, Explict | 
Stiles is 17 and he’s sick of being a virgin. The last two and a half years of trying to get laid by every guy in the school (both straight and gay) haven’t worked out and the time he came onto his long time crush Jackson Whittemore blew up in his face. That was it. He was going to go out to a club and find someone to fuck him and they would be just as good as anyone else he was trying to have sex with. He goes to Jungle to scope out his prospects.
Just to See You Again by  MellytheHun | 15k, Explict | @loserchildhotpants​ 
A sterek college!AU where writing student Stiles specializes in love letters, runs a blog about it and can be commissioned to write love letters on behalf of lovers who are at a loss for words.
He makes some cash, he’s good at what he does (especially when he gets to be a little more explicit in his letters), it pays for his textbooks and that’s all he’s really looking for and life is fine. That is, until someone anonymously commissions him to write a love letter to mathematics student, Derek Hale.

Or, In Which Stiles Falls in Love Twice...With the Same Person
-0-
Stiles sees the flyer on his very last day at Beacon Hills High School. It’s hanging, unassuming, in the hall near the front entrance along with bulletins and other flyers, advertisements, posters for free student concerts, but the fact that the word “sex” is written in a font two times larger than the rest of the page catches his attention.
It’s an advice hotline for a whole range of things, from teenage angst to how to deal with your parents telling you you’re adopted and a whole mess in the middle. Stiles thinks it’s funny, though, that they offer advice on sexuality and sex education. It makes sense on the one hand, since high school sex ed does jack shit for actual learning, but anyone who really wants to know stuff has an infinite source of knowledge right on their phone—the internet.
So it starts off as a joke.
What I Did On My Summer Vacation by  grimm | 118k, Explict | @coyotoqueens
There's something weird about Beacon Hills that Stiles can't quite put his finger on. The way everyone in town knows his name the day he arrives. The way they insist the melancholic howling that echoes through the forest every night is just a dog. The way his dad denies getting a dog, even though Stiles comes home to find one sprawled across his bed, some big black thing whose eyes gleam red in the right light. The way that massive oak tree out in the woods vibrates under his touch, pulsing with sickly life.
There's something weird going on in this town, and Stiles is determined to get to the bottom of it.
One life stand by  Vendelin | 84k, Explict | @ljummen
Stiles is used to selling himself to make ends meet. But it's getting harder to keep those ends meeting, and there's only so much of Stiles to go around. Until a too-fancy car shows up in his neighborhood, and he meets Derek Hale.
All Derek wants is Stiles's time, someone to stay on his arm for events and smile for the cameras. It's the easiest job Stiles has ever had, the best-paying one he's ever had, and he's more than happy to sign up.
Derek is everything and nothing Stiles expects him to be, with his tailored suits, sharp mind and his quiet way of caring. But it's just a job and Stiles never meant to fall in love.
Can’t rely on me by  Littleredridinghunter | 116k | 
Set at the end of season 2, Gerard beats Stiles up, but it's a lot worse than anyone knows.
The pack let him down, that's not really a surprise lately.
When Danny finds Stiles nearly bleeding to death the next day it's the start of a beautiful friendship.
Can the pack make amends before it's too late? Will Stiles ever forgive them for not being there for him when he needed them the most?

bird of paradise, everlasting daisy, queen's cup
i have to be honest with u, i spent about two days researching songs with these names because i forgot i reblogged that nature ask thingy, but here goes:
bird of paradise: what was the best thing that happened to you this month?
i was invited to do what they call a “modern hire” interview for a job i really want (which basically means i was given some pre-selected questions and asked to answer them either through a video recording of myself of a written response that they can review at a later date)!
everlasting daisy: what’s the last dream you remember having?
i was going camping (like in the actual woods????) with a bunch of tumblr friends and one of my old irl friends’ moms offered to drive a schoolbus(?) of us down to tennessee(?) where we’d be staying for the weekend. we were all attending my local high school and we literally decided we were going to go after school one day and i was like “well do i have time to take a shower first?” (i really needed a shower irl too, so i can see how this would translate) and they were like yeah, sure, we’re not leaving for a few hours. so i drove home and then i got distracted and only hopped in the shower about an hour later, and then panicked when i got out and realized i hadn’t even started packing yet. and then my mom was like “will you at least eat dinner with us before you go?” so i was like yeah, okay, and i sat down to eat spaghetti and my dad was there and it was weird bc 1) he doesn’t live at home any more and 2) we both hate spaghetti but i finished dinner and then i went out to my car where i found a standard sized front door to a house shoved into the passenger side of my car (which is p small) bc my dad had been fixing it up, and i had to figure out how to close the car door without damaging either the car door or the house door and then i started driving but before i did that i sent a text to the group chat i had with my friends going on the trip to be like “hey have you left yet bc i’m runnin a little late lol” and then i went to the school where apparently we had decided to meet and my younger brother popped up in the back seat on the way there because apparently he was just? coming with me? but anyway i made it to the school and i didn’t see any of my friends there and i was like ????? but i just parked in the parking lot to wait for a response and i got one a few minutes later that was like “oh yeah we already left lol, we’re all sleeping underneath the bus seats” (??????????????) and so my brother and i had to embark on a solo journey to tennesee so we could meet up with them and then i woke up
queen’s cup: what are you craving right now?
something superrrrrr chocolatey and rich and that would probably make me feel sick after a few bites
