[s1mpietr0]

Obsessed with dumbass slippin jimmy/just jimmy and Marco headcanons that all where made while insanely sleep deprived so here they are

-(@mlscreant was involved on this one it's like our baby kinda) jimmy and marco dated for a few days as kids (like EP2-ep3 of slippin jimmy) but jimmy just did not like boys

-jimmy eventually one day when they where hanging out just kinda mumbled "I wish you where a girl", Marco was very sad 💔

-marco never really lost his little crush on jimmy and he was actually heart broken when he moved away to Albuquerque

-marco never really brought his feelings up again cus he got absolutely dumped as a kid and also jimmy had Kim so what was the point

-when jimmy came back and they had they're little time together jimmy could kinda tell Marco still really liked him but chaulked it up to just Marco missing him

-marco confessed to jimmy during his whole "standpipes just ain't cutting it" rant and Jimmy just kinda got awkward and just said "I have Kim Marco, and I don't like.. boys-" and they left it at that

-jimmy probably cried the most at Marcos funeral

AIN'T THAT A BITE CHARACTER PROFILE: CHEVY

Species:Vampire

(art by @mjtheartist04)

Voice claim/ fancast: Pedro Pascal

Chevy is a very rambunctious Warden. He's a nightrider from Albuquerque who uses more traditional methods and tools to bring down(or wrangle) Kaiju. He compares the job very much to a rodeo. He tries not to be lethal with them as he feels that they are part of the landscape that needs to be respected, simply leaded away from civilization. However, if it does come to it he will use lethal force. His lasso is his most used weapon, using it to pull kaiju into things(used most famously when he fought the kaiju Guiron)

(nightrider: noun: slang for a ranger who either is himself supernatural or has a supernatural mount, Chevy has both so hence the title)

Behind the scenes

I'll confess, I did create this character back whenever the Pedro Pascal boom was happening, but I still feel like even without that he is a pretty solid character.

He used to be part of a duo, with the other one being Ford who was voice claimed by Bruce Campbell. I just couldn't make him anything but vampire ash Williams and I ended up cutting him.

Inspirations

Obviously he was based off of agent whiskey from the Kingsman franchise, but also mix in some of Din Djarin's attitude from the mandalorian

His Nightmare was based off of Strikers mount from helluva boss

And his overall vibe has its roots in Johnny Cash and Asterion from Baldur's gate (since @littlemissatlas practically infected my TikTok feed with it lol/lh)

(Also he has interactions with another oc who is based off of a famous musician that Johnny Cash interacted with a lot so stay tuned for that)

My name is Walter Hartwell White. I live at 308 Negra Arroyo Lane Albuquerque New Mexico 87104. This is my confession

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Brown guilty eyes and little white lies

Yeah, I played dumb but I always knew

That you'd talk to her, maybe did even worse

I kept quiet so I could keep you

And ain't it funny

How you ran to her

The second that we called it quits?

And ain't it funny

How you said you were friends?

Now it sure as hell don't look like it

You betrayed me

And I know that you'll never feel sorry

For the way I hurt, yeah

You'd talk to her

When we were together

Loved you at your worst

But that didn't matter

It took you two weeks

To go off and date her

Guess you didn't cheat

But you're still a traitor

Now you bring her around

Just to shut me down

Show her off like she's a new trophy

And I know if you were true

There's no damn way that you

Could fall in love with somebody that quickly

Ain't it funny

All the twisted games

All the questions you used to avoid?

Ain't it funny?

Remember I brought her up

And you told me I was paranoid

You betrayed me

And I know that you'll never feel sorry

For the way I hurt, yeah

You'd talk to her

When we were together

Loved you at your worst

But that didn't matter

It took you two weeks

To go off and date her

Guess you didn't cheat

But you're still a traitor

God, I wish that you had thought this through

Before I went and fell in love with you

(Ah-ah-ah)

When she's sleeping in the bed we made

Don't you dare forget about the way

You betrayed me

'Cause I know that you'll never feel sorry

For the way I hurt, yeah

You'd talk to her

When we were together

You gave me your word

But that didn't matter

It took you two weeks

To go off and date her

Guess you didn't cheat

But you're still

You're still a traitor (ah-ah-ah)

Yeah, you're still a traitor

Ooh-ooh-ooh

God, I wish that you had thought this through

Before I went and fell in love with you

For the AO3 wrapped:

AO3 Wrapped

10. What work was the quickest to write?

The quickest (this year) was obviously the shortest one I wrote, which was In This Twilight. Fireside Chats and The Road to Albuquerque were also really quick too.

20. Which work of yours have you reread the most?

Take Me, Don't Leave Me was a Teen Wolf stisaac prompt where the first 'I love you' was during a fight, which spawned a big angst-fest fic with make-up sex because yes. I just re-read this a few weeks ago, actually. It's one of my favorite depictions of Stiles and Isaac where they are extremely dysfunctional and emotionally constipated but somehow still make it work.

28. Favorite work you wrote this year?

Ooo, can I pick one that I haven't published yet? I think that The Holiday AU is shaping up to be a favorite, haha. It's so much lighter on the angst and not stuck to canon which is fun.

I think that In My Veins might be my favorite, though I'm pretty partial to the whole of the Marriage Ain't Easy. I am really surprised by how much I've been able to do with it; I never expected it to go as far as it has.

Tonight’s The Night 🌚

ooooh yessssssss 👀

1// Tonight's the Night Late at night when the people were gone / He used to pick up my guitar / And sing a song in a shaky voice / That was real as the day was long

2// Speakin' Out I've been a searcher, I've been a fool / I've been a long time comin' to you

3// World on a String You know I lose, you know I win

4// Borrowed Tune Ice frozen six feet deep / How long does it take?

5// Come on Baby Let's Go Downtown Snake eyes, French fries / and I got lots of gas / Full moon and a truckin' tune / Now you don't have to ask

6// Mellow My Mind I've been down the road, but I've come back / Lonesome whistle on a railroad track / Ain't got nothin on those feelings that I have

7// Roll Another Number (For the Road) I'm not goin back to Woodstock for a while / Though I long to hear that lonesome hippie smile / I'm a million miles away from that helicopter day / No, I don't believe I'll be going back that way

8// Albuquerque I've been starving to be alone

9// New Mama No clouds are in my changing skies / Each morning when I wake up to rise / I'm living in a dreamland

10// Lookout Joe Glory hallelujah, will I lay my burden down?

11// Tired Eyes Tell me more, tell me more, Was he a heavy doper, or was he just a loser? He was a friend of yours... What do you mean he had bullet holes in his mirrors? He tried to do his best, but he could not.

12// Tonight's the Night (pt. II) Early in the morning about the break of day / He used to sleep until the afternoon

#woo this one was hard #thank you though ❤️

"But, you can't possibly demolish the entirety of future possibilities with someone you admit to loving just becauae you disagree with how they have handled THIS encounter under THESE circumstances." I stared incredulously a0t my friend, among my oldest in Phoenix. This guy, first off, clearly suffered from some sort of brain damage or memory loss. He was also a fucking pussy.

"No. Not because I may disagree with how they handle this, that, or the whole thing...because she won't even talk to me, face too face, prior to deciding how they wish to approach me now.and moving forward....and. I had promised a laid back, non-coersive environment, where nobody is badmouthed or berated.....and, yes I can too do that. Easily. I don't care if I am viewed as a common homeless person by her, and if she has accepted and believed every piece of bullshit fed to her by fucking insecure male whores wanting to secure their meal ticket and/or hang onto one of the few attractive 12 step women who would even consider hooking up with them (not referring to S her...like I said, I don't fabricate rib...there are plenty real ones available. Try this yourself)...you understand? I don't give a fuck about any portion of a person's existence if they can't find a way to extend me at least a small measure of respect....don't believe I have earned it? So the fuck what? I have been around this large, loosely knit crowd in Phoenix since 2001 (except for spending much of 03 and 04 in California and 2017 in Albuquerque) I promise you that virtually EVERYONE in it has been, let's just say "difficult to openly respect" on occasion since. You know what? I have always found a way to treat everyone like a human being....especially if I only had to do it for 10 goddamn minutes. Fuck that. I am not waiting for her to get a wild hair. I have faith that things will turn. They always have ...they ALREADY have, in a sense."

"But you LOVE her!! You can't walk away from that."

"Dude.....how many fucking DAYS have you known me? Of COURSE I CAN....especially since I will NEVER trust her after this, she is all set to AVOID THE SIMPLE ACT OF APOLOGIZING AFTER BADLY HURTING A PERSON SHE CLAIMS...and HAS PRIVATELY CLAIMED, ON OTHER OCCASIONS, TO CARE ABOUT, RO HAVE APPRECIATED MY LIVE FOR AND UNSHAKABLE BELIEF IN, HER. She is now all set to fucking crush me....CRUSH ME, DUDE...AGAIN, BASED ON FUCKING NOTHING. BULLSHIT NOTHING, OF THE WORST VARIETY....AND, SIMPLY, DUST HER HANDS OFF AND WALK AWAY FROM MY WRECKED SHELL OF MY FORMER SELF WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD....BECAUSE SHE XAN GET OFF TONIGHT!!!!! Yes, I DO love her, but she is EXTREMELY sick, the relationship....or, friendhip, for that matter, would need tremendous work and devotion from both parties....that ain't fuckin' comin' from her, right now, it's fair to assume. It takes two to even have a prayer of defeating a set of odds that apparently insurmountablere. It is actually good for the soul to attempt something like that,now and then, but, not now, not with her....it'd be aproductive as smashing yourslf over the head with a big ass fireman's hammer.gardless. There is NO CHOICE but to disengage from everythong but casual sex....and I KNOW you can guess as to how uigh on my cashe list she would be. It will be fine, bro....It is actually her decision, much more than mine, and, watch,,this will help me find myself again....I should really start charging for this kind of advice....never too late late to take yourself seriously as a human being, Vance....other people will then take you the same way....but, YOU have to be first."

Rejected Bad: Puddle

The following is a rejected script from an early season of Breaking Bad.

INT. JESSE'S RV - DAY

Jesse, Skinny Pete, and Badger walk down the street in Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come across a large puddle, staring at it in fear and awe.

JESSE:  (eyes wide):  Yo, that thing is massive! It's like a damn portal to hell or somethin', man!

SKINNY PETE:  (nervously scratching his head)  Dude, what if something comes out? Like, I ain't tryin' to deal with demons and whatnot today.

BADGER:  (holding a bag of cheesy puffs)  Hey, guys, you think the portal has some, like, cosmic Cheetos? I'd brave it for that, maybe.

Jesse, Skinny Pete, and Badger stare at one another, clearly paralyzed by irrational fear. Just then, a weary Walter White cruises by in his RV.

WALTER:  (irritated)  Oh, for the love of... Get in, you imbeciles!

INT. JESSE'S RV - CONTINUOUS

Jesse, Skinny Pete, and Badger scramble into the RV, relieved to escape the horrors of the possibly impending demonic invasion.

JESSE:  (thankful)  Mr. White to the rescue!

INT. JESSE'S RV - MOMENTS LATER

Inside the RV, the three men slump down on the worn-out couches, finally calming their nerves.

WALTER:  (glares at them)  What in the hell were you three doing, scared shit by a puddle?

SKINNY PETE:  (defensive)  Bro, it's like a supernatural puddle or somethin'. No way are we messin' with that portal stuff, especially to Hell, man!

BADGER:  (nods adamantly)  Yeah, you know, demons and fire and eternal damnation? Not my thing, dude.

JESSE:  (snickers)  I mean, there ain't no way you'd go through that puddle either, right?

Walter raises an eyebrow, contemplating his response for a moment before sighing.

WALTER:  (resigned)  Oh, I've dealt with far worse than just a puddle, believe me. But fine, I'll humour you all.

Walter starts the engine, getting ready to navigate around the fearsome portal to hell.

JESSE:  (smiling)  Yo, Mr. White, what would you do if you really found a portal to Hell?

Walter smirks, his confidence returning.

WALTER:  (make-believe sinister tone)  I'd cook the purest blue meth Hell has ever seen. Demons and the Devil couldn't resist the taste.

They all laugh, the tension dissipating as the RV drives off into the distance, leaving the "portal" behind, just a regular puddle now.

FADE OUT.

[itwas50yearsagotoday]

8/26/23: It was 50 years ago today, August 26th, 1973, the majority of what would become Neil Young's sixth studio album Tonight's the Night was recorded. Yep... unusual that I talk only about recorded dates as opposed to release dates, as this record would not be released until almost two years later in June of '75. Since that's outside of the parameters of this blog I thought it would be a good time to address it now. Along with perhaps a couple earlier albums, Rust Never Sleeps in '79, and maybe Freedom in '89, this is often cited as Mr. Young's greatest creative document... definitely not commercial, as this record is perceived as Young's very negative reaction to the stardom that the Harvest album and prior successes had so recently brought him. As a semi-anonymous Wikipedia author notes, this record is an immediate expression of grief, as within the previous several months both Crazy Horse guitarist Danny Whiten and roadie Bruce Berry had both died of drug overdoses; the latter is stated in the opening title track while Whiten shares the lead singing duties with Neil in an earlier live version of the Crazy Horse tune 'Come on Baby Let's Go Downtown' as his representation on the record. This is not a record to listen to at 11 AM on a Saturday... I read that somewhere, and it's totally fucking true. This is either the best or worst record to listen to when you're in a drunken depression. I got this as a cassette after reading about the record in the Rolling Stone Record Guide, as I was just getting into his solo tunes 'Old Man' and 'Southern Man' (although I first heard Young in an MTV video for his retro-rockabilly tune 'Wonderin''... Neil in the '80s was weird)... well this record ain't nothing like those hit tunes, but the directness and despair of the songs are almost awe-inspiring. Note that when I say these songs are 'great' almost none of them are songs you could really singalong to, and certainly are not meant for any Top 40 list. The opening track about Berry is great, as is the second track 'Speakin' Out'... I mean you really feel like you're watching a midnight flick with Neil sharing popcorn with him... and then his mini-duet with Nils Lofgren on piano while he shreds the guitar is just something to behold. I like the perfunctory 'World on a String' too... it's kind of a repulsive reaction to a song with a similar name by Sinatra... if any song gets Neil's state of mind on this record, this one does. I used to not like 'Borrowed Tune'... just Neil and a piano... but hearing it again for the first time in decades gave me some goosebumps... it was the latest song recorded for the record (Dec. '73)... this leads into a sonic blast of 'Downtown' as mentioned above, certainly the first song I liked on the record because it fucking rocks... now I think I might like the original Crazy Horse version better (sans Young), but I'm not sure anymore. 'Mellow My Mind' stretches Young's vocal chords to an extreme you rarely hear... it's kinda rough but not as much as I used to think. The second side opens with two serious mellow songs that almost should go together: 'Roll Another Number' and 'Albuquerque', both desert-driving songs, probably while very stoned. Songs that I definitely did not appreciate at the age of 16 but definitely do now, especially the latter... it's got more great piano from Lofgren, and some sweet harmonies, Neil's harmonica and guitar, everything... just great. I think the best song on the second side is 'Lookout Joe' which was recorded with the Stray Gators, the same group he toured with for the Harvest tour (oh we'll get there with Time Fades Away!)... it is moderately paced but man it rocks. Bookending the record we have a reprise of the title track... there are a couple other decent songs but Tumblr apparently now has a text limit (booo!). Anyway, get it (from YouTube, not Spotify).

BUGS BUNNY

First Appearance: Fallout Shelter Improv Collab 7 #3

Dimension: Prime AkumaVerse

Allegiance: Civilian

Bugs Bunny is a cartoon who starred in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated films produced by Leon Schlesinger Productions, which became Warner Bros. Cartoons in 1944. In 2002, he was named by TV Guide as the greatest cartoon character of all time. Bugs starred in 163 shorts in the Golden Age of American animation, and made cameos in three others along with a few appearances in non-animated films.

He was born in 1940 in Brooklyn, New York in a warren under Ebbets Field, famed home of the Brooklyn Dodgers. His catchphrase is a casual "Eh...what's up, doc?", usually said while chewing a carrot. His other popular phrases include "Of course you realize, this means war", "Ain't I a stinker?", "What a maroon" (a subtle twist on moron) and "I knew I shoulda taken that left turn at Albuquerque." Bugs Bunny is considered the main character of the Looney Tunes series, and as such, is used as a mascot, both of the Looney Tunes series, and sometimes of Warner Brothers in general.

When Akuma was a child, for some reason Bugs Bunny bit him in the head. This, in turn, made Akuma beat him down. This lead to an unusual restraining order request that states the following: "Unless Bugs Bunny inflicted the first shot, Akuma is to not touch Bugs Bunny at all." This leads to a few standoff moments when Bugs and Daffy do an autograph signing session together (as Akuma is a big time Daffy Duck fan).

While to many he is a beloved icon, for a while he seemed to only really have a self-interest in his own desires. But over the years Bugs has grown mature. Especially after spending some time with Daffy Duck when he was not working for Warner Brothers. This eventually led to Bugs more accepting of losing. Starting with throwing the Big Game knowing it was going to be the last.

Since then, while he still got plenty of work, he is more than willing to sit back and let others rise. From letting Daffy Duck have his own show in Duck Dodgers without a Bugs Bunny cameo to getting on the receiving end of the joke during the Looney Tunes Show. He even apologized to Akuma, who still wants to beat him up because he is just obsessed with fighting.

Fun Facts:

The Reason for Akuma's grudge on Bugs is based on an incident where the Bugs Bunny Mascot hit me on the head as a kid with his teeth by accident.

The last two paragraphs parallel how my feelings for him went.

*blinks cutely* uwu I bring a gift love you

Mania Rhizo and Pepper pease for me 👉👈

blue hawaii, mahattan, gin rickey, dirty banana, and for shits and giggles, woo woo

Of course! Love to answer.

𝗯𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗶𝗶 〜 does your oc speak any other language(s)? if they didn’t learn to speak the language(s) when they were growing up, when and why did they learn it?

Mania - She is nearly fluent in Spanish because she grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico in a predominantly Hispanic area.

Rhizo - She is half Chirean, and she does speak Chirean just because she grew up with it, and it comes more naturally to her.

Pepper - Definitely not. Sorry, but Pepper is terrified of learning new languages because her worst fear is offending someone when she doesn't mean to. She wants her offense to be on purpose.

𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗵𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗻 〜 what kind of people does your oc hate the most?

Mania - Overconfident pompous assholes… but maybe that's just because it takes one to know one. Mania has a real problem with authority. Anyone that tries to give her an order, she will disobey out of spite.

Rhizo - She's a tattoo artist in the Entresol layer of the undercity. This woman is very deadpan, and she hates just about everyone. If she had to choose one though, it'd be anyone that tries to explain her own goddamn job to her like they own the place.

Pepper - The easy answer is anybody that even looks at her daughter wrong, but the more complicated answer is anyone that demands respect without earning it. Especially if they demand her respect without earning it.

𝗴𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘆 〜 what does your oc consider to be their best feature? alternatively, what’s something they’re most self conscious about?

Mania - Best feature: She worked too hard for her mechanical skills to not be proud of them.

Rhizo - Insecurity: She idolized her uncle in many ways for his kindness and understanding, as well as his strength in the face of adversity. Rhizo believes that she'll never live up to his example, and struggles with her own self worth.

Pepper - Best feature: A little more on the vain side, she may admit, but she thinks her accent is just the cutest darned thing. It can either make her sound sweet or confidently intimidating, and she loves how it can mesmerize some folks to the point where they're listening to everything she says without understanding a damn word.

𝗱𝗶𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗮 〜 post a song or a lyric that fits your oc

Mania - "If I'm crazy, I'm on my own. If I'm waiting, it's on my throne." What's up Danger by Blackaway & Black Caviar.

Rhizo - "Don't you breathe on me; undeserving of your sympathy, 'cause there ain't no way that I'm sorry for what I've done." Sleep by My Chemical Romance.

Pepper - "Desperation will erase the fact I'm keeping all of the answers in my cigarette box. Yeah, the answer's in the second before the other shoe drops, and if you're blind to that, I am fine with that." Tongues and Teeth by The Crane Wives.

𝘄𝗼𝗼 𝘄𝗼𝗼 〜 what’s their relationship like with their parent(s)/guardian(s)?

Mania - Her dad owned the mechanic shop she was employed at, but she can't say much about her mom. Never knew her, and when she was curious in her childhood, her dad just said he didn't know where she was. She never asked again, and it's not like there were any traces of her in their house.

Rhizo - She grew up with her parents until about the age of eight. They died in the bridge invasion, and her uncle looked after her after that. When she imagines her parents though, her uncle is always the first that comes to mind.

Pepper - Parents? Don't know her. Pepper has been on her own for as long as she can remember. Nobody ever really stepped up to take care of her, which is probably why she's so protective and loyal to Sketch. She clung to anyone that would give her attention, and she paid the price for it. She takes that lesson now and lives by it.

Combee residents upset after Albuquerque crowned the meth capital of the world. Demands recount.

Residents of the Combee settlement area in eastern Lakeland were very upset to hear that Albuquerque New Mexico was just crowned the meth capital of the world.

One resident, who asked that he only be identified as Critter stated, "That's meth'd up! How can they say that Albuquerque has more crystal than us? I don't remember anyone coming to my trailer house and counting rocks! That shows you right there it ain't true! In fact, I demand a recount! I bet it's because of that documentary series they filmed over there called Breaking Bad. Ever seen it?"

“It does suck that he’s leaving and I will miss him so much,” Michael moved back and brushed Alex’s hair back from his face, “but I am not alone right now. I’m not breaking because I have you with me for the rest of my life and that makes me the strongest fucking person on this goddamn rock.”

Alex released a watery laugh which made Michael smile warmly at him. He grabbed at Michael’s wrists and held onto him.

“You don’t need to worry about me. And I’m not saying I won’t need your help in the future, but for right now I can promise you that I am okay and I’m exactly where I need to be.”

Hopeful Hands [Roswell New Mexico; Malex; 2,356 words; Marriage Ain't Easy series]

“Hey.” Alex smiled weakly and fidgeted uncomfortably in the bed. “Ugh, I feel like I got shot.”

Michael let out a choked sob and his hands started to shake. “That’s not fucking funny, Alex.”

“It’s a little funny.” Alex used his free hand to cup Michael’s face and push through his curls. “I’m alright.”

In My Veins [Roswell New Mexico; Malex, Kybel; 9,583 words; Marriage Ain't Easy series]

“Thank you, Dr. Valenti. I’ve been curating this collection for quite a while. I’m proud of it, but there are new pieces I’d like to add and I don’t have the space for them, as you can see.” Álvarez gestured around the room.

“Our agreement is for Item 54, but would you mind us taking a look around?” Alex asked. “Just curiosity, of course. We didn’t realize your collection was quite this vast.”

Álvarez narrowed his eyes, but the look morphed into amusement just as quickly. “Already plotting for future investments, Captain Manes?”

“I’m no longer Air Force, and it’s Guerin,” he said, a little too harshly. “But you have the measure of me. Once a businessman, always a businessman.”

The Texan Job [Roswell New Mexico; Malex, Kybel; 14,609 words; Marriage Ain't Easy series]

“It’s not really the plan itself that concerns me,” he admitted, setting down the tea and mussing his hair, “it’s the crushing disappointment if this was all for nothing. Wasting everyone’s time, putting you guys in danger, and for what?”

“For hope, you idiot,” Isobel chided and shoulder checked him. “I don’t know why you and Michael think that hope is such a dangerous commodity.”

“Because when it doesn’t work out–”

“Anything in life can fail, Alex,” Isobel said, cutting him off. “You’re no Atlas; you can’t shoulder the burden of tribulations for everyone. We all need to have our own hope, even if grief is at the other end of it. Otherwise we wouldn’t be living our lives at all.”

Project Týr [Roswell New Mexico; Malex, Kybel; 17,225 words; Marriage Ain't Easy series]

The way Isobel’s eyes darted away from him was disconcerting. “Um, maybe because it’s a little… intimate?”

“What do you mean, intimate?”

“Not like that, obviously!” She flapped her hand at him. “It’s just… it makes us very close and he might be worried that you would get upset.”

Michael felt queasy and his face was flushed. He didn’t know if he was angry, embarrassed, or jealous–maybe he was all three. “That doesn’t sound any better, Isobel!”

Unsuitable [Merlin; Merthur; 57,861 words]

"Then why does Arthur think it was his fault?" Merlin could not help but ask.

Gaius sighed. "Arthur feels responsible for a lot of things, Merlin. He blames himself for not finding you sooner and saving you the pain. He blames himself for treating you badly and for any other hurt he has ever caused you since the day he met you. Arthur, like I told you before, is your friend and he cares quite a great deal for you, Merlin. You should not be so quick to throw aside his friendship."

Merlin found it a little ironic that he would be the one getting rebuked when he lay in bed unable to walk. Gaius was right, of course, but when had Merlin ever been happy about Gaius being right? He wasn't going to start now. "I know," Merlin reluctantly replied. "Can you call for him to return so I can talk to him?"

Before the Dawn, the Darkest Hour [Teen Wolf; Stisaac; 11,540 words]

Mr. Stilinski walked up behind Scott and put a hand on his shoulder, squeezing a bit harder than he normally would. “Scott. I think he needs to rest now.”

“Yeah, yeah it’s fine, Mr. Stilinski. I was just going,” Scott said and walked out of the room.

“You alright, son?” Mr. Stilinski sat on the edge of the bed.

“Um, I’m... yeah, I’m okay, I just... did you get suspended from work?” Stiles turned his head toward where his dad was sitting.

Take Me, Don't Leave Me [Teen Wolf; Stisaac; 7,103 words]

An eyebrow quirked above an endlessly blue eye, and Isaac sat up on his knees (one was placed very dangerously near Stiles’ crotch and he had a feeling that was entirely intentional on Isaac’s part - bastard) and looked down at him. “Shouldn’t?”

Why was Stiles acting like such a fucking chick tonight? Probably the profession of love, the fact that he hadn’t heard it in return (he was trying to ignore that and failing miserably), and now these words that were falling from his lips, “We just had a fight...”

“Exactly,” Isaac said without missing a beat. He grinned wickedly and reached his hand out to ghost fingertips along Stiles’ stomach that was exposed thanks to his shirt riding up.

The Redolence of Stiles Stilinski [Teen Wolf; Sterek; 6,006 words]

“Sit up,” Derek said quietly as he sat up himself and was going through the motion that Stiles’ brain took much too long to process as the action of pulling his sweater over his head.

All Stiles could really do was balk at him, because he was stuck between his past experience of rejection and the expanse of skin that was now staring him in the face. “Uh...what?”

Derek rolled his eyes. He grabbed Stiles by the shirt and lifted him off the bus floor, then proceeded to strip him of his shirts. Stiles was still a bit too dazed to react and just allowed it to happen, but it really hit him when he was pressed back against the floor and Derek’s mouth was - “Oh fuck.” Wait, did he just say that out loud? Fuck shit!
