at the end of the night

pairing: tasm (andrew garfield) peter parker x reader (gender neutral; no y/n) warnings: like 2 references to sex. entire premise is based on a reader that wears make-up summary: peter takes care of you when you're too tired to do so yourself.

pls enjoy this little blurb !

"Ugggggghhhhhh," you groaned for about the sixtieth time the past hour as Peter had carried you home with a piggyback ride. You were absolutely exhausted (and a little bit drunk) after having to socialize at a corporate party. Your only savior being the man who was now carefully laying you on your shared bed like you were made of porcelain.

If you were, the whine you let out next would've shattered your poor body.

"C'mon, a little longer and we can sleep," Peter pulled your shoes off for you, gently rolling you onto your back again. You pouted at him. He sighed. An exchange that was far too common between the two of you when someone was too tired to do the proper nightly routine. "Up."

You made a big show with every small movement you made, so tired and braindead that all you wanted to do was complain or hug your boyfriend. And he wouldn't let you do the latter until you were fully ready for bed. Stupid caring and sweet jerk boyfriend.

Peter had finally gotten you in pajamas, and was now attempting to convince you to wash your face, because he knew if you didn't, tomorrow morning you'd feel even worse and he also knew you often complained of breakouts on your skin if you missed an important part of your routine like that.

"But it's so much work," you huffed. Peter tilted his head in amusement. He should have been frustrated, but you were far too cute with your pout and the way the collar of his oversized I <3 SPIDER-MAN t-shirt was nearly hanging off one shoulder. "Peterrrrrrr."

"If I take off your makeup, will you at least just wash your face and brush your teeth?"

"I suppose," you hummed, now happy that you had to do less work. Peter snorted and pulled you along with him into the bathroom. He sat you on the counter, standing between your parted legs to begin wiping off the elaborate makeup you'd done for the party.

After a full minute of him barely brushing your eyelid with the wipe, you finally broke into a giggle. It was his turn to pout.

"Pete, you gotta go a little harder, or this isn't gonna work."

"Oh, I love when you talk dirty to me, baby," he looked at you pointedly before frowning. "I don't wanna hurt you."

"You won't, bug. Promise." You gave him a gentle, genuine smile of encouragement. This time, he went back to wiping at your eye, applying enough soft pressure to begin to remove the eyeliner and eyeshadow you had so carefully applied hours earlier.

"I don't know why you wear all this stuff so much. It takes so much time and it comes off so quickly," he mumbled. His tongue poked out in concentration as he wiped at your eyebrow. "Too much patience for such a small timeframe."

"It's fun," you shrugged. Peter was truly irreplaceable. Any other man would've gone the I like my partners all natural route. "It makes me feel good. It's kinda like self-care sometimes." He smiled at your answer, warmth tugging at his heart at the thought of you feeling comfortable in your own skin. He loved seeing you confident and happy. "Maybe you should try it sometime."

"Oh, only if you're the one putting it on me. I would probably look like a Hot Topic swallowed me and spit me out."

"I dunno, I think you could do the smudgy eyeliner thing. You could pull it off, too," you grinned at the image. Peter pretended like he couldn't feel the heat rising in his cheeks. He moved on to gently wiping away the lipstick on your mouth, having to apply a bit more pressure than before.

"This is never coming off," he muttered. "I like the other kind you wear better. The one that leaves kiss marks on me." Sometimes you wondered if Peter realized just how cute he was. You swore he did it on purpose just to be a little shit.

"Yeah, but then I have to keep re-applying."

"I think it's worth it. I like having your lips on my face all day." He pressed his own lips to yours when he was finally finished. You tasted like the lavender fragrance that was in the wipes, which wasn't pleasant, but the shy smile on your face was more than enough to drown out the bitterness.

"What about all night?" You tugged at the tie he was still wearing until his forehead bumped into yours. He just grinned. Maybe the rest of the nightly routine could wait.

Pilot

Eek! The first episode. Full disclosure- the first season is my absolute favorite and always will be. I just love it. It always takes me back. The opening song “There She Goes” transports me to the earliest naught and makes me incredibly nostalgic for my childhood. Ugggggghhhhhh I love it.

The way Luke looks at Lorelai... 🥰💗💕 He’s feigning annoyance but you know he’s harboring this longtime, intense crush. 🔥🔥🔥 Whew! How he can be so smitten with her while she wears that hat is confounding but nonetheless... I wish a man would look at me like that.

Luke’s baseball cap has an American flag on it which is weird.

The Independence Inn! I love the Independence Inn so much more than the Dragonfly. Sorry, not sorry. Drella was such a waste of a character. I love Alex Borstein but I am so glad that Melissa McCarthy got the role of Sookie and I honestly think Drella was completely unnecessary.

I really love the way Michel and Lorelai play off one another in this scene. Their chemistry is so good, I wish they would have kept writing Michel’s character this way instead of the direction they ultimately went in. They really did the snooty, obnoxious Frenchman thing to death but he could have been so much more.

This might be an unpopular opinion but I actually like Rory’s oversized sweater look (or as Lorelai put it, her muumuu).

LOL I cannot picture Lane listening to Eminem. Crazy Carrie is the Stars Hollow High English teacher.

I know this has been said by many people before but it’s ridiculous that Sookie is supposed to be this amazing, experienced chef but she is such a disaster in the kitchen. The way she chops those peppers? Where are her knife skills?? She has the audacity to correct her bilingual staff on their English grammar but has absolutely no idea how to safely operate a kitchen when she is supposedly this incredible cook? What a joke. She starts a fire on the range and the other chef just puts a lid over it but doesn’t turn off the burner? I know, I know. It’s supposed to be humorous, but still...

One of Michel’s best, most relatable and most quotable scenes. “People are particularly stupid today. I can’t talk to any more of them.” I literally feel this in my soul every day at work.

There are so many plants in Lorelai’s house! She doesn’t seem like the type that can keep houseplants alive. How are Lorelai and Sookie so put together and responsible? They’re both single women in their early thirties and they both own their own homes. How is that possible? Was it just because this was pre-2008 housing crisis? I am so jealous of Lorelai’s house.

Emily looks 10 years older in the pilot than she does in every subsequent episode. How did she age in reverse? Oh, Richard 💔 He’s kind of a garbage person throughout much of the series but he has those few redeeming moments which somehow more than make up for all the shitty things he does. I can't help but love him. And miss him. I know I’m getting old AF because I just caught myself thinking that he looks handsome in this episode 😱 He’s just so tall and masculine. His cheeky, smug grin when he says, “So, you need money.” 😍 Okay, I’m officially creeping myself out.

I love first season Rory + Dean. They’re so cute. Teenagers do not talk to each other like that but it’s completely endearing even if it’s not 100% believable. Dean is so open and vulnerable with Rory right off the bat. No 16-year-old boy talks like that to the girl he has a crush on. Not any of the ones I’ve ever encountered, anyway.

Lorelai and Rory are both eating salads at Luke’s. Weird! Oh, okay Luke brought them burgers. That’s more like it. But I feel like they definitely would’ve forgone the salads altogether in later episodes. The money Lorelai puts on the table to pay for the food falls on the floor and neither of them bother to pick it up. I always find it weird that Rory/Lorelai and Lane don’t acknowledge each other when they pass one another on the street. Not a nod, not a wave, not a half-smirk, nothing.

So when Lorelai realizes that Rory doesn’t want to go to Chilton because of a boy, Lorelai is understandably emotional. However, she literally says, “You are me,” and then proceeds to try and control Rory- doing exactly what Emily would have done in that situation. She doesn’t try and understand things from Rory’s perspective outside of how the situation could go badly. I honestly would have probably acted the same way, but Lorelai prides herself on being this “cool mom” who does things differently from her own controlling, suffocating mother. However, when she’s faced with Rory having a difference of opinion and acting like a moody teenager for once in her life, Lorelai’s first reaction is to “play the mom card” and fault Rory for falling for a boy. She basically tells Rory that she has no say in the matter and will be going to Chilton regardless of how she feels rather than talking things through. Again, I know she is just reacting to a situation in which she feels like the rug was pulled out from under her, but it’s funny to me that she reacts in the same way I would expect Emily to. And even though she acknowledges how similar she and Rory are, Lorelai reacts in a way that she would have totally resented if she were in Rory’s place.

I always thought it was weirdly out of character for Richard to fall asleep at the dinner table. He wasn’t that old- he would’ve only been 57 at that point.

Emily and Lorelai’s fight is so frustrating because I can understand where both were coming from. The two of them would have really benefitted from therapy. If Tony Soprano was doing it, why couldn’t the Gilmores?

I think Luke looks less attractive when he’s clean shaven and dressed up. It’s too jarring. He’s one of the very few men that look better to me with a baseball cap on.

Oh, the song they play at the end of the episode while it zooms out on Lorelai and Rory in Luke’s window from outside! Absolute perfection! Perfect opening song, perfect closing song. Great music choices all around in this episode.

Such a good pilot! I really, truly love it. I’ve watched it a million times and I could watch it a million more. 10/10.

Ugh, this sort of thing is hard. Job interview went quite well. Pros:

Potentially, the boss could be better.

More money.

Better retirement plan (other benefits comparable).

Nicer office and location (close to the ice rink; I could skate on my lunch hour, once the sciatica resolves).

A chance to "start over" and reset myself with people who don't know me at all, to rebuild a bit.

More autonomy; the boss knows nothing about publishing and so would leave a lot up to me.

Chance to learn valuable new skills, like indexing, and work with more complicated, long-form documents.

Some opportunity to do a variety of tasks.

The HR guy and I really hit it off. He'd been there a long time and worked in a variety of positions. He had a lot of positive things to say about the team members I would work with and the advancement opportunities at the company (but then, he would only have positives, right?).

The department I'd be joining is expanding quite a bit; a new guy starts in August and they have two other new positions they're hiring for. Growth like that is a good sign.

Cons:

Potentially, the boss could be worse.

The content is dull. Lots of complicated financial and government jargon. Not my cup of tea, but the I'm not crazy about the content of my current job, either.

I would miss many of my coworkers.

I would miss out on potential advancement opportunities at my current gig (but when would they come? In another six months? A year? At all?)

General uncertainty about the coworkers. It's the devil you know versus the devil you don't.

The company is facing some serious restructuring, as is mine, and has had some turnover. The boss I'd have has been there only a year. Apparently just yesterday some major restructuring was announced. Of course, my current gig is also all uncertainty and confusion right now.

Potential boredom is also always a factor. It may be boring or too easy, and I'd have too much time on my hands. It may be worse (or better) than my current situation.

The office layout isn't that great. Another workstation, with potentially even less privacy than I have now.

Ugggggghhhhhh. Too hard.
