Tiger, Tiger
Title: Tiger, Tiger
Summary: Red John has captured you and he’s given Patrick 24 hours to find you. 
Tumblr media
Warnings: Patrick Jane (I feel like he deserves his own warning label); angst, angst, angst; mentions of being assaulted/battered; mentions of blood; brief character death; C.P.R.; mentions of guns/weapons; with a tiny bit of fluff at the end. I believe I’ve listed all of the warnings and I apologize if I missed anything but you are responsible for what you read. If any of the listed warnings make you uncomfortable please do not read. 
A/N: This is my story for the week one writing challenge, I Spy, for the @the-slumberparty event. I used a generator to come up with my theme and setting. The theme I got was ‘serial killer’ and the setting I got was ‘modern day’. So naturally, the Mentalist, ‘Red John’ serial killer popped into my head and I loved how this turned out! I hope you enjoy it! 
Wordcount: 2,893
Patrick Jane had just finished making his fresh cup of tea and as he lifted the cup to his mouth, he took a deep breath in. He loved starting the work day off with a cup of tea, it helped him relax. As he took a couple of drinks from his cup he watched the other agents as they rushed by the small kitchen. They were always in such a hurry. He stole another minute to himself before he glanced down at his watch and a smile started to work its way onto his lips. You should be here any minute. He took another drink from his cup before he turned around to grab another cup for you. You loved tea just as much as he did, which was just one of the many things he liked about you. While he prepared your cup, he thought back to the day that he met you. 
He had just walked into the small kitchen to fix himself some tea when he spotted you. You were using his favorite cup and before he could say anything, you were walking past him. He shook his head and snapped out of his thoughts before he called out to you. 
“Excuse me, that’s my cup.” 
You paused and turned around to face the person who had just spoken. “‘Scuse me?” 
Patrick couldn’t lie, you were quite beautiful and he could easily get lost in your eyes. He took a couple of steps towards you, he pointed at you as he did. “That’s my cup.” 
You took a drink from the cup before you examined it. “Sorry, I guess I didn’t see your name on it.” 
Patrick narrowed his eyes at you as he crossed his arms over his chest. “Who are you anyway?” 
You smirked at his question before you took a sip of tea and walked away, putting a little bounce in your step as you did. Patrick was in awe and all he could do was watch. 
“Patrick!” 
Patrick was brought out of his thoughts when he heard his name being called and groaned. If it wasn’t for the fact that it was Theresa who was calling for him, he would probably just ignore the person. He rubbed the back of his neck before he set down the cup he had gotten out for you. When he got to the bullpen workplace, he noticed how his coworkers stopped what they were doing and turned to face him. The once light and airy atmosphere that was just there a minute ago turned into a more constricted one. Something was going on, he could tell. He was about to ask his team members what was going on until he noticed it. How he had missed it was beyond him because he swore when he walked in just a bit ago it wasn’t there. He was frozen in his spot at the sight of the funeral bouquet sitting there on an easel. It sat there taunting him as if he should know better than to love again. “No, it couldn’t be,” Patrick thought to himself. He approached the display with caution as if it would out and attack him. When he reached the display, he took in a sharp breath at the words that were written on the sash, ‘I’m sorry for your loss’. Patrick could feel his whole body go numb and he knew exactly what this meant. Red John had gotten to you. 
“Jane?” Theresa inquired as she gently placed her hand on his upper arm and paused, waiting for him to reply. She glanced over her shoulder to her other coworkers, concern written all over her face before she returned her attention back to Patrick. “Jane?” 
At the second ‘Jane’, he finally turned his attention towards the others and demanded a question. “When did this get here?” 
Grace, Kimball, and Wayne all shook their heads in response, not sure when the flowers were delivered. Before anyone could answer Patrick’s question, his phone started to ring. He pulled out his phone from his pant’s pocket and answered it instantly. 
“Hello?” Patrick did his best to remain calm. 
“Hello Patrick, did you miss me?” A high-pitched, male’s voice came through the receiver. 
Patrick’s blood ran cold, it was just as he had thought: His worst nightmare had come to life. 
“Where is she?” Patrick informed, his voice firm and doing his best to keep it even. 
“She is rather pretty, isn’t she? I can tell you have a type.” Red John commented, completely ignoring Patrick’s question. 
Patrick aimlessly took a few steps forward as he heard you whimper in the background. “If you do anything to her at all, I will find you and I will kill you.” 
Red John chuckled at Patrick’s threat and even though he knew Patrick couldn’t see it, he smirked. “You have twenty-four hours to find her. Good luck.” 
With that, Red John hung up the phone and a curse slipped from Grace’s mouth. She had quickly moved from her spot next to Wayne and over to her desk when the phone call was answered. She had typed furiously to try and trace where the phone call was coming from. “Damn it! I almost had it!” 
Theresa and Patrick went over to Grace’s desk to see what she was talking about. A grid map was pulled up onto her computer screen and there were mapped out cell phone towers. She let out a frustrated sigh before she spoke up again. 
“Sorry, I almost had him. I was only able to narrow it down to a certain area but it’s rather big.” Grace explained as she made a few clicks with her computer mouse and zoomed in on the area she was talking about. 
“Good work, Van Pelt.” Theresa reassured her colleague. Theresa then took a deep breath before she walked to the center of the bullpen. She tucked her thumbs into her front belt loops before she started talking and giving orders. “Alright, everyone, we have a fellow agent in danger. Whatever you’re working on, I want you to bury it until further notice. We need all hands on decks. Let’s get a move on people, we have twenty-four hours!” Theresa then looked back at Patrick who gave her an appreciative nod. “We’re going to find her Jane.” Theresa did her best to be confident with her reassurance. This was Red John after all. 
“I need some air.” Patrick excused himself and he was out of the building before anyone could stop him. 
Kimball and Wayne exchanged looks, worry was etched onto their features. They knew what you meant to not just Patrick but Theresa as well. When you first started, Theresa had introduced you as her best friend and with a proud smile on her face. They quickly changed their demeanor as they nodded at one another and started to get busy trying to find you. They didn’t want to get told twice. 
You grunted as you pulled against the leather cuffs that had you strapped to an uncomfortable wooden chair. It took a minute for your vision to become clear, you don’t remember passing out. Although, with all of the torture that you’ve endured within the past several hours, it was bound to have happened. You tried to get a good look at your surroundings again but it was nearly impossible. The only light source that the room provided was a singular, hanging overhead light. It was probably on purpose though, your captor didn’t want to be seen or to know where you were. You could feel goosebumps start to rise over your skin as you heard footsteps coming towards you. Your breath hitched when your kidnapper was finally in front of you. From what you could tell, he was wearing a mask and a hideous one at that. 
“Good, I’m glad you’re awake. For a moment there I thought I had lost you. I can tell you’re a strong one though. A fighter.” Red John said, his high-pitched voice sent a cold chill through your body. 
You balled up your hands and flexed them as you gritted your teeth. You needed to pick and choose your battles. “You don’t know anything about me.” 
Red John stopped his pacing before he began to click his tongue. “You see, I know a lot more about you than you yourself know. But we don’t have time for that.” He paused and looked down at his watch before his shrill voice continued to pierce your ears. “After all, I only have a limited time with you and I want to have more fun.” 
You tried not to wince when his gloved finger caressed the side of your face and you did your best to try and pull away. He chuckled at your attempt as his finger continued to trail down the column of your neck. Your eyes began to fill with water as Red John picked up the necklace around your neck. It felt like an eternity as Red John stood there and examined the quaint diamond necklace. Patrick had given it to you as an anniversary present. It was simple really, a single diamond on a white gold chain but you cherished it and wore it every day. A gasp escaped from you when Red John tore the necklace from your neck and pocketed it. Just as you thought he was about to walk away and leave your battered body, he turned back around and a harsh smack met your cheek. 
“Boss, I’ve got something!” Grace called out, she was sure that she found your location. Not just sure but she would stake her job on it. 
Just as Theresa and Patrick rushed over to Grace’s desk, Kimball and Wayne were walking back into the office. They had gone to your apartment to see if they could find anything out of place. When Patrick noticed them, he looked at them with a small bit of hope. But when they shook their heads no, Patrick returned his attention back to Grace. Kimball and Wayne immediately joined them to see what was going on. 
“Alright, so I was able to do a little more digging based off of the incomplete trace from earlier. You see this satellite point,” Grace pointed to a small dot on the screen before she continued. “It was one of the ones that was blinking earlier. I checked that area and it’s nothing but woods and cabins up there. So, I ran the names of people who owned them and there’s one that stands out. A fellow by the name of Dr. Roy.” 
“That’s it, it’s gotta be. Great job Grace!” Patrick confirmed before he went over to grab his jacket. 
“Alright, let's move it people! Cho, I want you to call for a S.W.A.T. team and meet us there, also let them know there’s a hostage! Van Pelt, forward that address to the S.W.A.T. team and to me. Jane, you’re with me. Rigsby, I want you to call Sac. P.D. and let them know that we have a hostage situation on our hands. Let them both know that the suspect is considered armed and dangerous.” Theresa barked out orders as she double checked her gun and she received multiple ‘yes boss’s’ from her team. 
When they finally got to the cabin, the teams approached with caution and they had their weapons ready. Theresa motioned for one of the teams to go around back and they did as they were told. They moved swiftly and quietly to the back of the cabin. The team in front breached the door within a matter of minutes and they immediately crossed the threshold to begin their search for you. Once they cleared the house with no sign of you, Patrick went outside to catch his breath and think. He placed his hands on his hips and just as he turned around, he noticed something in the distance. 
“Theresa! I think I’ve found something!” Patrick called out to his colleague. He motioned for her to come over to him when he noticed her coming out of the cabin. 
“What is it Jane?” She asked as she arched an eyebrow at him. 
Patrick pulled her over to the side a few inches and he pointed to a spot in between two trees. “What do you see Lisbon?” 
Theresa squinted her eyes through the narrow tree line. “Is that a barn?” 
“I believe it is and I bet that’s where he’s keeping her.” Patrick confirmed and just before he could take off towards the barn, Theresa grabbed ahold of him. 
“Hey, we’re doing this the right way and we’re gonna be smart about this.” Theresa ordered, her face as serious as her tone. 
Patrick looked taken aback before he became just as serious as his partner. “How can you just stand there and say that?! I thought you cared about her?!” 
Now it was Theresa’s turn to be the one taken aback. “That is my best friend in there and I’m worried sick about her! So, don’t for one second think that I don’t care. But this is Red John we’re talking about so we have to be smart.” 
Patrick took a deep breath before he exhaled. “You’re right, I’m sorry.” 
Just then Kimball had walked up to them with his bolt-action rifle in hand. “Cabin’s empty boss. What’s our next move?” 
“Alright, get the S.W.A.T. team ready, we have another building to look through.” Theresa commanded and without saying another word, Cho walked away. 
The S.W.A.T. and Sac. P.D. teams were ready to go and were waiting for command within minutes. Just as before, there was one team that waited at the back of the barn while one remained at the front. One of the S.W.A.T. team members stood across from Theresa and Patrick as he listened for any sign of movement. Once he was satisfied, he gave Theresa a short nod who wasted no time in signaling to him the okay. A loud bang filled the intense silence as the battering ram met the wooden door, causing the door to splinter. Theresa led the team inside with her gun and flashlight aimed as she called out a ‘clear’ after every turn. 
When they reached the center of the large barn, Theresa scanned the room before her light landed on you. A horrified gasp escaped her as she saw the state of your battered body. Your head was hung low and you were still strapped to the chair. You were still, too still for Theresa’s liking. She took a few steps towards you but before she could get to you, Patrick had forced his way into the barn. When he caught the sight of you, he froze in his spot. Theresa tried to keep Patrick back but wasn’t able to. He easily pulled out of her grasp and rushed over to you with Theresa hot on his heels. The pair of them quickly began to remove the leather cuffs that kept you restrained. Once they had you freed from the restraints, Patrick carefully moved you from the chair and to the ground. He immediately checked for a pulse and when he couldn’t find one, he started C.P.R. right away. 
After a few minutes, Patrick leaned back onto his heels as he sat on his knees. He gulped in deep deep breaths as he waited for what seemed like an eternity. The air was thick around him and he barely felt Theresa place her hand on his shoulder. Tears began to well up in his eye but before one could escape, you jolted forward and started to gasp for air. Patrick quickly scooped you up into his arms and held onto you tightly. 
“Patty, I need to breathe.” You struggled to say in between deep breaths. 
Patrick let out a weak chuckle before he loosened up his grip on you. “Sorry sweetheart, you had me so worried.” 
You tried to laugh but ended up coughing instead. You took a deep breath before you continued. “You’re not getting rid of me that easily Patty.” 
Patrick smirked in response. “Oh, I know, you’re too stubborn. Theresa on the other hand was about to give up on you.” 
You did your best not to laugh as Theresa smacked Jane on the shoulder. “I was not. I’m gonna go see if the ambulance is here.” Theresa gave you a small smile before she got up and left. 
Patrick then cupped your cheek and gently started to caress the bloodied skin. He leaned down and gave you a meaningful kiss on your forehead. You closed your eyes and relished at the feeling. You weren’t sure if you were ever going to experience this again. When you opened your eyes, you took in Patrick’s face and pulled him in for a kiss. When you pulled apart, you paused to catch your breath and a weak smile curled up on your face. 
“I love you Patrick.” You said in between each breath. 
Patrick’s face brightened up and he grinned from ear to ear. “Hey, I wanted to say that first.” 
He then leaned down and kissed you again before the paramedics came to wheel you away.

This is my submission for @the-slumberparty's randomly generated moodboard challenge. I got the word 'keyboard' and was inspired by those light-up rainbow ones. Eh, not my favorite, but I might still make one for Tony Stark and his hands on a keyboard... 🥴
[credit: all pics from Pinterest and not mine]
I feel particularly sure that @adulting-sucks will appreciate this effort though!

This event is property of @thegrandlinesimp​! Please do not reblog or repost!
Hey all! Line here with a new and (hopefully) interesting event!
Now, Imma guess you have a few questions.
What is this?
This is an event that I would like to run on Friday’s, not every week, but you can expect it to be on that day of the week (I may make an announcement earlier in the week, or may just decide on the day). The event in question involves prompts/things that can happen when getting down and dirty in the sheets. Those awkward yet funny moments that people tend to shy away from: someone farts, you try to take your pants off sexily but end up falling over, someone walks in and you all just stare awkwardly at each other.
And those are just to name a few!
How long does it go for?
A very awkward question, due to the fact I live on the east side of Australia, my Friday will be over before other people’s Fridays have even begun. So to make this fair I’m going to have the event open from 8am Australian Eastern Standard Time on Friday to 8pm Australian Eastern Standard Time on Saturday. That way it’s been Friday for everyone!
Who/what characters can I ask for?
A list of characters that I write for can be found here in my rules!
Okay, but why though?
An excellent question!
The short answer is: I love making people smile/laugh, to make heavy hearts light, and I’m good at writing smut, put 'em together and you get this sort of stuff.
Long answer: I don’t see enough of this sort of thing in fiction or fanfiction, yes, I understand you’re trying to write something hot and steamy (this mainly pertains to non-request writing), that’s fine. But the thing I love about writing is adding that dash of realism to it, that sprinkle of our world added into the worlds we love so much which further helps humanise beloved characters! You can’t humanise someone by having them have perfect sexy times every time they get naked! That’s just so...boring. I want to laugh with these characters, to smile with them and live in the moment with them! I’m not saying you have to write this sort of thing, I understand many people would be uncomfortable writing a queef or how someone’s having trouble getting it up. But I’m not! It’s funny, it’s normal, it’s human, and I hope this can help normalise such moments.
Without further ado, the rules and prompts (are under the cut)
How to request: simply ask for a character, prompt (they are numbered so if you’re embarrassed about writing it you can just type the number), and tell me the reader’s gender; and remember, use your pleases and thankyou’s 
Example: Hi! Can I please get Zoro with 3 and amab!reader, thank you so much 😊
Prompts
Queefing
Falling off the bed
Can’t get it up
Sudden time of the month
Uninvited guest
Saying something odd/unexpected
Sudden injury (light injury, e.g. bang head, knee to gut, etc)
She squirts, he gets surprised
Random fart
Slipping out and almost going into wrong hole
Cramp
Abrupt strike to the crotch
Misinterpretation
Wardrobe malfunction
Miscellaneous!

Not to talk about the watcher thing again as I’ve already kind of said my piece, but one of the most batshit insane parts of this whole unbelievable situation is that for some reason they decided that for some fucking reason the BEST time to announce this highly controversial decision was literally DAYS before they would be going on an international tour and having to face irate fans IN PERSON. Guys. What the hell. At least have the sensibility to announce a move that you HAD to have known would make people upset AFTER one of the few times you actually interact in person with your fanbase.
I hope you’re ready to investigate the Tower of London for ghosts, because I have a feeling the Londoners will be more than happy to acquaint you with the building later this week.
Insane move after insane move. Truly.

Podcast Season Over But Coworking Has 6 Weeks
You'll be amazed at how much progress you can make on important stuff when you have a supportive community to co-work with every week.
YOU ARE INVITED TO COWORKING WITH SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY How can black women leaders understand themselves better and make better choices so that they will live more happily and have more joy in all of their relationships? Getting past perfectionism is one of the keys to this… and it’s much easier to do that within community. In one of my latest videos, I talked about the importance of community…

Pearl from the gemstone slumber party asks!!
Hmmm, usually when an idea pops into my mind I tend to think on it for a few days before I start any kind of writing or Moodboard. I'll come up with whole scenarios in my head and then when I feel like I got something of substance I begin to write it all down. Once I feel content with what I have written, I'll start to type it up and do some editing on the way. I've tried to outline my stories before and it just doesn't work for me.
But that's usually what my creative process looks like.

Blood & Honey

Recently divorced Bastian Barnes had landed his dream job. A doctor in the field of the occult and supernatural studies, he wanted to run away from the city life and go somewhere where he’s not reminded of his ex-wife. Little did he know that the new college he was hired to teach at had some peculiar staff and students. One fellow professor, Miss Primrose Honey, had caught his eye. Will Prim help Bastian forget his past, or will she take his heart, in more ways than one?
