omg, josie running in and she’s crying liek “i’m sorry dada” and he’s like “what baby” and she can barely hiccup that she scratched his truck from her bike cause she fell or something
it's been a hot minute since i've done a lil thing for y'all but this inspired me! i hope i did it justice! :)
Josie doesn't fear a lot of things. In fact, if you ask her, she'll list the things she fears in order from least to greatest. The least starts off with spiders, snakes, the big trucks on the highway, losing Connor in the grocery store, and getting caught doing something she wasn't supposed to. The greatest thing she fears, however, is disappointing Rafe Cameron.
The same Rafe Cameron who was watching Connor and Josie play outside. He'd gotten a work call and stepped into the garage, taking his eyes off of his son on the bike and his daughter blowing bubbles in the driveway.
"Wanna try riding, Jo?" Connor asks her as he climbs off of his bike.
She hesitates for a moment, biting down on her bottom lip and glancing toward the garage where she knows Rafe stands.
"Sure," she replies, wanting to make her brother happy.
He smiles and helps her climb on, promising to not let go of the back of her seat. He instructs her on where to put her hands, how to work the brakes, and how to keep herself balanced.
"Don't let go, Bubby," she reminds him, "I wanna go down the driveway."
"I'm not going to let go, Jo," he promises.
She starts to pedal, slowly at first and then a little faster, the bike wobbling underneath her slightly. She makes it about halfway down before her arms accidentally jerk, and she loses control. Connor uses both hands to try and regain her straight line, but Josie goes down anyway, leaving a scratch alongside Rafe's driver's side door from the handlebar.
Josie's first reaction is to cry, feeling the rough pavement under her skin and the bump on her head from where she's smacked into the truck. Connor's quick to pull his bike off of her, kneeling beside her with concern.
"It's okay," he says quickly, "Don't cry, Josie, you're okay."
"No," she whimpers, placing her hand over the back of her head, "No, I'm not. I bumped my head, and I want Daddy."
Her eyes well up faster than she can stop them, and when Connor offers his hands to help her upright, she lets out a sob. Rafe had been right, she realizes. He'd told her not to try riding without him, and she didn't listen.
Connor grips her hand as they round the corner to the garage, where Rafe is still on the phone. The second he sees Josie's state and Connor's guilty expression, his body language changes.
"Dad? Let me call you right back," Rafe hangs up without waiting for a response, then hurries over to Josie, who is now full-on wailing, "Josie, what happened to you?"
Her bottom lip quivers and she starts to explain, but Rafe shakes his head. Even though he can't understand her, he takes her into his arms and cradles her, covering the entirety of her skull in his palm.
"I scratched your truck, Daddy," she whines, "Please don't be mad."
Rafe only squeezes her tighter, "I'm not mad, princess. I don't care about the truck, I care about you. Where are you hurt?"
She pulls back, her eyes puffy, cheeks red, and he wipes her running nose on his shirt. Rafe brushes the hair from her face and gives her an encouraging smile, watching as she sniffles.
"My head," she mumbles, "And my elbow. Hurts, Daddy."
"I know. I know it does, baby. I'm so sorry. Let me see your head."
Josie turns around and lets him swipe her hair out of the way while he checks for any sort of bleeding. There isn't any, which is the point Rafe realizes that he starts to breathe normally again.
"Is she okay?" Connor asks quietly.
Rafe spins Josie back around to face him and smiles at her.
"Do you want the good news or the bad news?" he asks, his tone teasing.
"Good news," she says in between sniffles.
"Well, your brain's still in there," he grins, making her lips tip up, "But, the bad news is, you're gonna have extra hugs and kisses for the rest of the day."
That's when he gets that smile out of her, and he swears the sight couldn't be better.
"That's not bad news, Daddy," she says.
"It's not?" he smiles.
She shakes her head, "No."
Rafe pulls Josie back into his arms for a hug, then gives Connor a smile and invites him into his arms, too.
"Thank you for taking such good care of your sister, squirt," Rafe says to him, "You're a good brother."
"Thanks, Dad," Connor replies, "I'm sorry, Jo."
She smiles and holds her hand out to him, "It's okay, Bubby."
After another minute or so, Rafe stands, keeping Josie in his arm, and wraps his hand around Connor's. He forgets about the bike and the truck, instead opting to bring the kids inside to calm down.
"I have to call Papa," Rafe tells them, "You guys wanna talk to him? Invite him over for dinner?"
He relishes in Josie's smiles for the remainder of the day, keeping her close to him at all times out of fear he'd ever have to see her cry again. While he's sure he will, he promises himself to do everything he can to make it better every time.

                          every religion has their own ideals of what the afterlife will be. pearly gates of heaven, fiery pits of hell, absolute nothingness. but maybe they were all wrong, maybe there was something more. something no one would ever be able to dream of.                             the optimists in the town of dead end said it was a second chance - the realists said it was limbo. a town where souls went when they died too early, with unfinished business. in the beginning, newcomers remembered nothing at all. simple, false memories of a move to the town implanted in their brain... and then a decade passed. and they didn’t get older. and it became glaringly obvious that something was wrong. the clerk at the grocery store down the street seemed nice enough, but they could have sworn that when they saw him out of the corner of their eye, his skin looked... bubbly. as if it’d been burnt. there was the guy who barely looked old enough to be in the bar, but was still there night and day, and sometimes, when they weren’t paying attention, it almost seemed like his mouth was foaming. like he was shaky. breaking out into a cold sweat. but the second their gazes turned to focus, he went back to being... normal, for all intents and purposes. when they zoned out waiting in line for their morning coffee, the man standing in front of them seemed almost... lopsided. likes bones were broken, and his head was tilted in a way that made their stomach gurgle. but then they focused once again, and everything was fine. he was just a normal guy.                              give it a decade. it’ll sink in, they’ll start to notice, and before long... they’ll decide for themselves if they think it’s a second chance, or an eternal punishment. the lucky ones find a purpose in the small town, but the unlucky ones... they get stuck, and there’s no way out.                             all roads lead to dead end. there’s no passing go, no collecting two-hundred dollars. there’s just the town, and the souls in it with them. and they have to do with it whatever they can.
rules ;
— SUPER LOWKEY GROUP VERSE. this is just an idea i had that i wanted to run with, and when i posted a poll asking what idea people preferred, this was the winner. — duplicate fcs ARE welcome ( because, i mean... they’re all dead. it’s not a stretch to assume there could be people throughout human history who look just like each other ), but duplicate characters ARE NOT. ( i don’t think i actually have to state that, but i did anyway, oops ) in the character list below, characters are separated by FANDOM, to make it easy to see if your character has been taken up yet. — mun/muses must be 17+, just because this verse could involve topics not entirely appropriate for the kiddies. ( like death, obviously ) — don’t ignore people, bc... that’s just not cool, ya know? no one likes that. — track the tag gv. welcome to dead end ! — post a bio upon acceptance. can be short and basic, just give a little something, please! — no drama. no forcing ships. like i said - super lowkey. — idk have fun????? that’s the whole point of this anyway omg.
app ;
submit all apps to my submit HERE and if there are any questions, i’m more than willing to help
character name: age at time of death: official cause of death: how that would show “out of the corner of someone’s eye”: faceclaim: mun name: discord: ( will be removed upon acceptance for privacy )

meta writer asks 3 What is that one scene that you’ve always wanted to write but can’t be arsed to write all of the set-up and context it would need? (consider this permission to write it and/or share it anyway) 4 Share a sentence or paragraph from your writing that you’re really proud of (explain why, if you like) 18 Do any of your stories have alternative versions? (plotlines that you abandoned, AUs of your own work, different characterisations?) Tell us about them.
omg thanks for the ask!
3. Connor had been walking down the halls- without anyone bothering him for once- when he heard and saw a crowd gathered around two people. “Oh, is it true your brother tried to kill himself by jumping out of a tree? That’s kind of pathetic.” Jaydin Hansen was one of the people, the other some vague guy from the baseball team. Connor watched as Hansen kept surprisingly cool and responded. “Oh, so you think it’s funny to pick on a socially anxious kid who isn’t even in the vicinity? It’s a shame really, when that same kid has better grades than you do. Maybe instead of proving that Neanderthals still roam the Earth by simply existing, you should focus on how you have an F in P.E.” The crowd oohed as the guy turned a beet red and clenched his fists. “Shut up, stupid fucking whore. Is it true what they say? That you suck dick for money?” Connor noticed how Hansen barely contained her laughter. “No, but I’ve heard that you do it for free.” The guy turned even more red as the crowd laughed. As she began to walk away, one of the guy’s buddies whispered something in his ear and the guy looked like Christmas came early. “Hey, Hansen!” Hansen turned back towards him and quirked an eyebrow. “Is it true that you didn’t even put up a fight when Carter Nells had you cornered in the locker room?” Connor’s eyes widened. He remembered that, because he was the one who punched Nells in the face after he heard him gloating about it to his buddies. He stepped into the center next to Hansen. “Wanna repeat that?” Baseball dude and his buddy paled but the dude was apparently even more of an idiot than Connor thought because he said, “Oh! Is school shooter your new bodygaurd? Maybe your brother’s sucking his dick too.” Connor isn’t sure who punched him first, himself or Hansen.
4. I have three that tie for this,  "I SWEAR ON WHATEVER GOD STILL TOLERATES ME YOU ALL ARE GOING TO WISH YOU NEVER LAID A HAND ON MY BOOKS! YOU WILL BURN IN THE-" (from Aaron Has A Camera) “ Dear whatever god still tolerates me, please give me patience, because if you give me strength, I’m going to end up murdering someone. “ (Hamilton’s Legacy) “Was it petty? Maybe. Did she care? No.(unpublished)
18. Sorta? I mean almost all of my stories do but I end up writing them? like my HP rewrite originally had a wolfstar-raises-harry theme, plus the sister. 
I also had a plot line in Testosterone Boys And Harlequin Girls where blair helps a little boy in a clothes store. I decided to scrap it because it ruined some of my plot and made huge plot holes. Also Blair was mute.

deh apartment hcs
so i was just scrolling thru Tumblr Dot Com™ and I saw a post that said “does anyone else ever daydream of decorating their first apartment?” (if anyone knows who made that lmk) but anyway i saw that and was like omg if that ain’t alana and then i was like wAIT WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF THEM so here’s this. fyi this is like a college au type thing ish??
(im sotired this is kinda shitty lol)
(also thank u so much for the luv on my last two hcs? i cr ied? les get to the point sorry)
alana:
ok so this girl would obviously have the neatest apartment ever
it would probably be like a medium size ya know
white walls.
lots of white walls.
and there would be like really pretty marble countertops 
her beadspread (or whateverthefuck u call it) would probably be like grey with white little lines on it
in a pattern tho
like a cute pottery barn one
OH
she would so freaking use evan’s discount at pottery barn are u kidding me
like her entire house would look like a pottery barn catalog
anyway
idk if all apartments have this so excuse me if i sound mega stupif 
but she would use the little intercom-buzzer thing to get into the apartment to her full advantage
like if u wanted to even go up there she would legit do a full on background check
(except for zoe)
(zoe would be like “hey alana it’s-” and alana would be like “yOU CAN COME RIGHT UP”
but it would be like 
“hello who is this?”
“alana you know it’s jared. i just texted you.”
“… ok then what’s your middle name”
“aLANA”
but anyway back to what inspired this in the first place
so alana would SO plan her apartment out from when she was like young enough to understand it ya get it
like she would pick out furniture at age six
(her taste would obviously change as she got older but u get it)
and she would literally have it down to the p a i n t color
like she would walk into home depot or whatever and the worker would expect her to look around for like 40 minutes but she’d be like
“hi hello i’ll take seashell grey in the gloss finish please. make it quick.”
(i totally just made that up what the hell is a gloss finish never heard of her)
i also picture her having lots of house plants? like most of them would be fake bc she’s too busy to keep them alive but they wouldn’t look fake
yeah alana’s apartmetnt would be so put together and like clean cut and nice
zoe:
her apartment would be rad okay
i feel like it would be v hipster and cool
not like Hipster™ but like… hipster?
what am i even saying
okay
so she would definetley have a room with yellow walls
like her rooms would be painted cool colors and stuff
but yellow specifically
she just seems like a yellow person
she would have a big wall that’s all chalkboard paint
wait now im really excited about this wall oh my god
like when everyone would go over her house they would all take a chalkboard marker (real chalk makes too much of a mess) and write and draw on it
evan would do little doodles of trees and write sweet and encouraging stuff
connor would either draw a hecking masterpiece or write really small in the corner “fuk u”
there’s no in between
alana would just doodle hearts and stuff
or when she’d be over doing homework w zoe she’d try to teach her math and science and stuff on it
a w 
jared would just draw memes 
i think we can all agree on that one
but annyyywwayy
she would refuse to get anything like store bought mainstream
like she would go to little shops in the middle of nowhere
or garage sales
and get the cutest stuff 
her house would be so homey but at the same time like “wtf why is this so perfect”
l o t s of tapestries
don’t fight me on this
it wouldn’t be the regular mendala ones that a lot of people get
(but she would for sure have a few of those too)
it would be like really cool unique stuff
lots of maps of the world
tie dye
ya kniw
they would mostly be taking up all of the celing space and some wall space in her room
she would so have a polaroid camera i KNOW IT
and she would put them all on pieces of string w clothespins and string them up around her room 
all pics of her frands and stuff
awwww zoe
she’d also probably have a room just for her dog
(btw if u didn’t see my other hc i see her as having a golden retriever named kiwi)
(but anyway)
like it was supposed to be a closet sbut she just didn’t use it
so she was like “well… okay let’s do this”
and evan will spend h o u r s at a time in that room
ugh she would just have the cutest apartment v colorful and stuff
evan:
evan’s apartment would be v small
he llved with his mom the first two years of college but decided to move out because he was feeling like he made a lot of progress and was ready to live on his own (btw is it canon tht he lives w his mom first year of college? i forget lmk)
(but he wasn’t really living on his own bc connor was always over or he was at connor’s place) 
he would have a v little sitting area w a really old tv and a worn out couch that was probably free on the side of the road or cheap from a garage sale
he would have a fridge and oven and stuff but he’d mostly just use the microwave
(ho;ly shit “some people say just use a microwave…”)
(i h8 myself why why why ok moving on)
his diet would mainly consist of ramen noodles
bc he doesn’t want to leave and have to socalize with people at fast food places or the grocery store
but every once and a while zoe would come over like “evan wtf” and make him food to hold him over for a while
(uh hc that zoe’s a really good cook??/)
he would have a little bedroom with a big window in it
and his comforter would be blue with navy stripes (similar to The Shirt™ but not completley the same)
he would have lots of sticky notes everywhere
like ranging from “don’t forget to feed the dog” to “don’t worry about it, it’s probably not a big deal”
and when he was in a really good mental state he would write them and stick them in places he know he’d see when he wasn’t in the best shape
and it would encourage him to keep going
wow that’s equally heartbreaking and adorable
ok don’t fight me on this we all know it’s a thing
he would have plants. eve ry wh ere
like there wouldn’t be a single fake plant in there
but he loved them bc he felt like it made the air fresher??? like it supplied more oxygen in the room which made it easier to breathe when he was feeling anxious??
(idk i can’t really explain it but that’s how i feel when i get anxious so i feel like it would help him too)
but it would range from huge ass borderline trees to succlents the size of his thumb nail
he would have s o many succulents
he would name them all
aaaaaaaAaAAAA
and each of his friends would have a plant named after them
even though it was small he really loved his apartment
bc he worked really hard to be able to pay for it and buy the furniture and stuff
so it was like his baby
yeah that’s my boy evan handsoap!
connor:
connor’s apartment would actually be pretty big
like everything would be super super high quality and nice 
he would so have a recliner chair
you know the one i’m talking about okay
and he would spend most of his time in there
even though he def has a huge nice sectional
(btw most of his furniture is black)
when evan would come over he wouldn’t want to get up out of it
but even always wanted to cuddle
so the first time evan was like “con come over hereee”
connor just scooched over
and evan was like “??”
but just went over to him
and they were kinda squished but they loved it 
bc they were so close to eachother
AW IM SCREECHING
but yeah they would love to cuddle on the recliner
his kitchen would be p nice too
like he would have a weirdly high tech fridge and a really nice oven and stuff
but if u opened the fridge there would just be like a half dranken (that is nOT a word) bottle of mountain dew, a cheese stick, and maybe on a good day some random leftovers
(btw idk why but i see his parents buying him most of the stuff in his apartment,, this doesn’t really make sense when i think about it but i can’t not do it what am i saing now awioehfdlsnk)
his room would be nice
he would have a big bed with a black and white plaid duvet cover
omg evan would l o v e his bed
like evan of course loves his own bed but connor’s is just so comfy
(plus connor’s bed also has connor)
(anywho)
his walls would be like a greyish blue color
but his furniture would still be all black
he would have a big desk and he always kept sticky notes around for evan to doodle on if he ever got anxious
and he has an entire drawer in his dresser just for his hair ties because he has an unhealthy amount of them
at all times
partly because he wants to keep his hair up sometimes
but partly because he always wears one around his wrist to snap when he gets mad or can’t control his emotions
and he always ends up loosing them
oh also his shower in his bathroom would be BOMB like im talking it has one of those little ledge chair thingies 
and the water pressure is a plus
and evan’s shower at his apartment is like sucky so he always just showers at connors
(i mean this in the least innapropriate way possible btw jus clearing that up)
but connor would spend SO much time there
so would evan tbh
so yeh
jared:
ok guys
hear me out on this one
but i feel like jared would have a surprisingly nice apartment??
like,,, actually very nice
they would all love hanging out there when they were all together
the first time he asked them over they were like “… u sure”
they were expecting to walk into something that looked like a super crappy hotel room with garbage all over
but they walked in and were like “jared what the fuk”
because this place was nice
like,, , he would always have the most food out of all of them
(which wasn’t saying much but still)
he would have a big nice couch with lots of extra like beanbags all over
they would all have their own that they used
and his tv would be poppin okay
he would have his old wii hooked up to it
and they would constantly have mario kart tournaments
jared always insisted on being wario
for the Memes™
he would be the only one out of all of them with an amazon fire stick so they would always watch movies all together at his house
and sometimes they would just randomly take it without telling him
(i’m looking at u connor)
and he wouldn’t notice for a few days but when he did he went cRAZY
but anyway
his room would b supa cool
he would have a really nice bed
omg he would have like video game and other nerd stuff posters e v e r y w  h e r e
like everywhere
little to no wall space for anything elsee
every once in a while he would go through his camera roll and print the pictures that he liked the best to hang up on his wall
hear me out bc this is gonna sound weird
he would probably have a dead meme shrine in one of the corners of the wall on the bottom
that he started as a joke with connor and zoe once but it jst spiraled out of control until every dead meme was recognized as soon as it went out
he would have a tv in his room
not as good as his one in the living room but still
he has two tvs what even jared
that’s where he would put his xbox
and he would game all night man
ah i love jared sm
ok that’s it hope u enjoyed ahhahah
