Prompt ask! 1-60?? Lolll fiiine 7 or 43+44 🥺

Hahahaha, I mean! There are a lot of good prompts there! Thank you for sending some through!

Have 43+44: falling asleep with their head in your lap + head scratches

Set vaguely down the track in s4. I wrote this in my half hour lunch break today at work, so I hope it reads okay! :-)

-

It’s the motion of the habit that gives her away.

All feather-light fingertips down and then the drag of the back of her nails up, catching the bristle of his short hair, not so much treading his scalp as breezin’ across it. Makes him think first of the cut of wind at the top of the Thunderhawk at Michigan Adventure, and second of a ducked bullet somewhere he don’t wanna be, and damn, if that ain’t her all over.

Because shit, he knows Dylan wraps herself around him when he falls asleep with her, and Gretch don’t ever stay beneath him long. Knows Olivia’s prone to slow caresses until she’s massaging the tightest knots between his shoulder blades and he’s awake enough to nose at her thigh, and Chloe - - shit, he don’t fall asleep with Chloe.

Didn’t think he fell asleep with Elizabeth neither. Not after - -

Huh.

Shit.

Not after any of it.

His lashes flutter open, and she’s still dressed which means - - somethin’. Can see it in the faded blue of her mama jeans, can feel it now too, in the button at her waist digging into the top of his head, and it’s the ache at his jaw and then the purr of Mick’s Chrysler underneath him that has the night coming back to him.

A deal gone south.

Yeah, that’s what it’d been.

Nothin’ big really – some new potential distributor who’d gotten it in his head that Rio’s business was somethin’ he could take, and Rio would’ve been first to fix the fuck of that opinion, only Elizabeth had been there too, defenseless with her mouth shut because she still refused to carry a damn gun (like relyin’ on his kept her hands a little softer, but then he feels the gentle path of her fingers stroke down to his neck, and thinks maybe it does.)

Not that Elizabeth bein’ there stopped him from putting a bullet in the guy’s head, but it had delayed the process, what with how quickly the guy grabbed her, left those cartoon princess eyes of hers too wide and blinking too hard and her jaw set while she played at tough, and Rio was levellin’ his gun when Elizabeth stomped on the fucker’s foot, and it was white noise in Rio’s head when the guy gripped her hair and pulled and - -

“I think he’s waking up.”

Her fingers ain’t stopped their trekking, but it’s her voice he hears (knows it anywhere, despite himself), and it’s Mick who grunts from the front, says: I bet and it’s only then that Rio realizes what this looks like – Mick in the front, driving ‘em to one of the safehouses, Rio in the back, head foggy, the taste of blood in his mouth, lying on his side on the backseat, his head in Elizabeth’s lap.

With a grunt, he tries to sit up, but Elizabeth’s hand finds his shoulder, pushing him back down, and her grip ain’t tight, but he knows she means it. Knows the only other time she’s gripped him like that was in her bedroom that one time, and shit, that ain’t where his head needs to be.

Ain’t where it should be.

He peels an eye open only to see the shadowed interior of the car and the streetlights outside flash white across Elizabeth’s pale skin, lighting her up like a ghost, and there’s a bruise at her forehead and a graze at her cheek and the memory of her being shoved down finds him, and then it’s the memory of a bone cracking under his fist, and he wets his lips, tastes blood again, and Elizabeth just - -

Fuck, she smiles, something small and a little wry, and she holds out her other hand, the one that hadn’t been at his head, hadn’t been at his shoulder, shows him her knuckles too.

“We match,” she offers, voice low, so Mick won’t hear (he does, she hears him snort), and Rio stares at the bruises on hers and then looks at the one on his, and fuck, he thinks, wetting his lips, grin tugging despite himself.

“Yeah? How that happen?”

Elizabeth just hums, and she tugs him down a little harder this time, and he lets her, heavy head falling back into her lap, her thighs soft, even beneath the denim, and he leans his head back until he can feel the warmth of her belly, her chest behind his aching head, and from the front seat, Mick says somethin’ about needing to lie low. Something about texting Rhea, tellin’ her he won’t be pickin’ up Marcus tomorrow, and Elizabeth’s breath hitches and she asks somethin’ about her kids too, but Rio can’t hear her anymore, because her fingers are at his head again, that soft tread down and slow drag up, and she smells like blood and sweat and lavender and he tells himself they ain’t there, that this ain’t them.

Tries to think of the other women, tries to think of anyone but her, but the memories won’t stick, no fantasy will hold, because there’s somethin’ about Elizabeth that blinds him to everythin’ else, and he closes his eyes and he feels her fingers and he sees her knuckles and he hears her voice sayin’ we match and it ain’t what she meant or maybe it was, but he feels her pulse flutter when he presses in a little closer and he thinks yeah.

They do.

I’m enjoying reliving everything with your posts lol now I need to got stare at 4x06 gifs for hours

omg i’m so glad i’m not the only one enjoying my rewatch posts hahaha

it’s been a v fun thing for me to carry on through s4, especially since a. i’ve missed the tradition/routine of our weekly #ggrewatch ever since it ended, b. i never liveblog new episodes bc i like to give them my full attention the first time around, and c. it helps refresh my mind on the previous week’s ep before watching the new ones on sunday nights!

4x06 was a particularly, uh, FUN one to rewatch so i can’t blame you for wanting to stare at gifs now...

1, 2, 12 for the fic writer !

ty for sending these :)

1. has a comment someone left on a fic of yours ever made you laugh out loud?

i don’t think so?? or at least not that i can remember rn, sorry :/

2. has a comment someone left on a fic of yours ever made you cry?

yes haha @inyoursheets‘s comment on my heart burns there, too made me tear up, as did @mego42‘s on the first chapter of A Heart’s A Heavy Burden

12. what headcanon will you keep implementing in your fics, even if canon ends up contradicting it? 

rio likes tea more than coffee!! sorry, not sorry.

another fanfic writer ask game

#xenalovesoq #txt #ask

[nottonyharrison]

8! 51! 60! For the movie ask!

Oh wow you picked the hard ones!

8. A movie that reminds you of your mom mum.

A Goofy Movie. Because I think it’s the first thing she ever took me to that included jokes for grown ups haha

51.  Favorite child performance

Ummmm... fuck. Lol. I am actually struggling to remember anything with kids in it at this point hahahahahaha oh gosh my brain is useless.  Maybe like Angourie Rice in The Nice Guys? IDK.

60. Biggest movie pet peeve.

I did this one, but if I could add another I guess like maybe movies that have a really dark colour palette so you can’t watch them at home during the day without closing ALL the curtains (and we have a huge door just off our living room that only has sheers because I don’t like drapes much) so we legit can’t watch anything like this unless it’s at least semi dark outside, which in the summer means after 9pm

Red! Amber! Aquamarine! Scarlet!

red: describe your favorite shirt 

my favorite shirt? a crop top that makes my boobs look great. i mean my boobs always look great (the one feature i can always bank on), but this top in particular makes them look great. it’s red with a flowery kinda pattern thing (very unlike me) and i wore it to the first pride i ever went to (coincidentally, the first pride there ever was in my city!) so it’s  s p e c i a l

amber: what’s saved as your phone’s lockscreen? 

omg amber!!!!!  it’s an illustration by hellhoneyyy on twitter featuring a really hot, confident babe whose body happens to look very similar to mine, to remind me that i too, am very hot, and should also be that confident

aquamarine: beach or pool 

mmmmm im gonna go with pool bc there’s fewer people and bc my best pool memories feature me skinny-dipping which is the most freeing thing ive ever done, 10/10 would recommend

scarlet: favorite holiday 

pride!

thank you for asking!!!! color asks

#ask #ask games #xenalovesoq #wow this one suddenly got a body confidence theme lmao #i swear that illustration is my exact build? except my hair isn't blue (anymore that is! 11 y/o me knew!!!) #actually skinny-dipping the first time was just okay for various reasons #but the second time? heaven #maybe also bc i was by myself for the most part

[gild-and-fire]

Please (don’t) stopppp tagging “honey nut feelios” i literally die every time 😂 I think I’m just a couple more away from being enticed to start saying that to people in real life LOL

I honestly love that phrase and I FULLY endorse adopting it into everyday use 😂😂 tbh I react to real life scenarios by thinking to myself either “oof, right in the honey nut feelios” or *jenny slate scream*, and nothing in between!

and I mean how else can I articulate my very real love for brio?? With more words? No, thank you. I would like to take @sothischickshe’s approach and limit myself to 8 words max in all things brio related

[pynkhues]

Thoughts!! Promo pics!!!! What are they!!!? Shasaaare!!! ......

Pweeze 🥺

I’m really intrigued actually! I was just saying to friends that I actually love how quickly Boland Bubbles is being scrutinised because I think it demonstrates that the investigation didn’t die with Turner and that in turn lends greater weight to Beth and Dean losing Boland Motors, and shows it as a loose end, not something handwaved away.

It looks to me like Beth’s going to end up getting bribed or blackmailed into working with Dave and Phoebe to take down Rio, and that’s why she tries to call off the hit, which I actually think makes a lot of sense. That said, it definitely makes me think too that errrrr, Dave’s not going to live long?

I mean, look at the other episode titles that have been a character name:

2.12 - Jeff

3.05 - Au Jus

3.08 - Nana

And now 4.04 - Dave

Plus 4.04 was supposed to be the penultimate episode of season 3, right? And while I don’t think it’ll be setting up for as wild a time as 1.10 or 2.13 given they’ve likely remoulded 3.16/4.05 to be a more cohesive early season cliffhanger as opposed to a finale, I still think we’ll be getting a pretty explosive 4.05/4.06 in a way that’s likely going to clear the board a bit in terms of characters, plots and arcs in the same way that the finale-premiere’s traditionally do.

Either way, I’m excited to see the fallout, and I think it’s going to be a really emotional few episodes across the board! Beth and Rio’s dynamic already feels really different to me this season, and I think we’re really going to see them start to untangle the complexity of that over these next few episodes. Hell, I think we already have in 4.01 and 4.02 with Rio blackmailing Beth but ultimately not following through.

Green! Turquoise! Ebony! Brass!

green: do you have a favourite flower?

sunflowers!

turquoise: favourite sea animal?

turtles?

ebony: would you ever want to play a game on tv?

When I was living with my sister we had the game channel on 24/7 and tried to compete in each episode. We found out we dumb as hell and ain’t gonna get through round one, that being said, I would do catchphrase cause it’s the easiest one

brass: least favourite food condiment

is this meant to be spice? lord knows what it is but im weak as fuck so everything

#i miss living with my sister #purely for the jokes we had when watching the game shows #good times #me: omg i knew that one #her: no you didn't #me: YOU CANT HEAR MY THOUGHTS I KNEW IT OKAY #answered #ask meme #xenalovesoq

Thank you!!!

I’m French

I have a fish memory, even worst my parents love telling me, contrary to a red fish, me, I don’t have time to make the turn of the bocal^^.

When I was little, my sister and I play hide and seek, whenever she was hiding somewhere, I would hide there right after (I know, I was little). In our garden we had two big trees. I climbed up and hid in them, the problem was that I wanted to hang on to them, so I grabbed two different branches from the two trees, so I ended up in a star shape and I couldn't get down. Besides, my sister had stopped looking for me and had gone to do the crossword puzzle. So I was stuck up there for 10 minutes, just my head was sticking out. Luckily after shouting for help, my brother came to get me with a ladder. And every Christmas since then, I've been getting this story.
