It’s June before you’re able to escape to the shore. You make it in just over 4 hours. It’s good timing considering the multiple bathroom stops you had to make. It’s a small house that probably hasn’t been renovated since Joel was there as a kid. It sits two blocks off the shore on stilts that make you feel secluded from the people that pass on the quiet street below, and when you stand on the porch, the salty sea breeze caresses your body as you let your eyes close. You can just make out the crash of ocean waves. You can feel the breeze carrying all your cares away.
Nate and Sarah excitedly explore the inside of the house. Their muted enthusiasm floating through the walls makes you smile. You’re thankful for this, thankful for Joel.
The sliding door opens and then shuts. You don’t move. It’s Joel. You know the sound of his footsteps, the way he moves through the world by heart. He settles against the railing, arm pressed against yours.
A smile spreads across your lips as your eyes open, landing on his. He smiles back. “Hard to enjoy the view with your eyes closed, Darlin.” His deep baritone rumbles smoothly. You see it in him too, the way the breeze carries away the wear and worry of the world.
“It’s peaceful out here.”
He nods. “Yeah, it is.”
“We should probably get back in there before the kids break something.”
Joel nudges you with his shoulder. “Don’t jinx us like that.”
“Our two? Unsupervised? That’s asking for it.”
“Our two?” A playful glint glimmers in Joel’s deep brown eyes. “My daughter is perfectly well behaved. It’s your little menace that’s the bad influence.”
“Oh my four year old is the bad influence?” You cross your arms, doing your best to keep the smile at bay.
“For sure- got his dad’s streak for mischief. My Sarah is a perfect angel.” He sticks his tongue out at you.
You roll your eyes, slapping his shoulder, but you don’t have a good response. He’s not wrong. Nathaniel knows how to get into places he shouldn’t. “I seem to recall an incident involving a ten pound bag of flour that says differently.”
Joel chuckles at the memory. Nathaniel was barely a week old when Sarah shrieked in the kitchen only for you to find her and the kitchen dusted in white powder. You had cried upon seeing it, postpartum hormones raging. Joel had cleaned your entire kitchen top to bottom.
“She felt so bad for making you cry,” Joel laughs.
“I think I scared her.”
The door opens again. Sarah and Nathaniel break out, rushing for your legs and begging to go to the beach.
You spend the next several days lazing on the sand, reading more than you have in years as you soak in the sun. The kids run around chasing seagulls and other creatures. Joel helps them catch waves on boogie boards. You both take them further out to ride the waves. Sarah’s arms clutch around Joel’s neck, and Nathaniel does the same to you. They build sandcastles and Joel digs holes big enough to bury them both.
At night, the kids are out by 8 o’clock if not earlier allowing you and Joel to sit out on the deck and drink. Your skin is warm from the constant sun. Joel’s cheeks are tinged pink on your third evening, his chest rosier. The salty air works at his hair, bringing out curls. You like this version of him a lot. You like this version of yourself too.
Your feet sit in his lap as he massages your legs and feet, calves worn out from lugging your belongings across the sand and back. He stares up at the sky, twilight bringing the first few stars with it. You sip your homemade margarita, Joel’s specialty, from a red solo cup.
“I shoulda brought my guitar. Only thing that could make this moment better,” he says.
You hum softly, shifting in your chair. “Wouldn’t be able to massage my feet if you had your guitar.”
He laughs, so easy, so relaxed. You can’t remember the last time things felt this good. “Don’t worry, you’d still get your massage.”
“Why didn’t you bring it?” You cock your head to the side.
“Wouldn’t fit in the car, miss over packer.”
You roll your eyes softly kicking at him. “We’ve used everything I packed. Speaking of which, what do you want for breakfast tomorrow?” You take another sip of your drink. Joel finds a knot in your calf, working it out as you let out a slight hiss.
Joel shrugs, carefully watching your reactions careful to inflict as little pain as possible. “Ask the kids.”
“It’s Father’s Day.”
“Kids like pancakes.” Joel sips from his own drink before returning to the knot.
“But you don’t.”
“Doesn’t matter what I like, Darlin.”
“Well, it does tomorrow.” You cross your arms.
Joel sighs rolling his eyes.
You narrow yours. “Don’t make me force it out of you. You know I will.”
He considers it a minute before deciding it’s a losing battle. “Those omelets you made for my birthday. I really liked those.”
You smile. “I can manage that.”
You sit in bed with Nathaniel the next morning to call Tommy. As early as possible is preferred, not that Tommy will care. He’s been blowing you off more, hardly talking when you call or visit, seemingly uninterested when you talk about Nate. It’s exhausting. You dread it, but you continue anyway.
It takes a while before Tommy’s voice comes through the speaker. You force an exaggerated smile to your face for Nathaniel’s sake. Daddy is an abstract being to him. “Hey babe. Happy Father’s Day!”
“Oh… that’s today?”
You push back the annoyance rising inside you. “Nate wants to say hello.” You hold the phone up to your four-year-old’s ear.
“Hello?” he says.
You can barely make Tommy’s pathetic response. He won’t even pretend for Nathaniel and that’s the unbearable part of all this.
“Happy Day!” Nathaniel says, taking hold of the receiver before he dives into updating his stranger of a father all about their beach vacation. Tommy stays quiet the whole time.
Rage begins to boil just under the surface. Before it can bubble over, Nathaniel says goodbye, shoving the phone into your chest and dashing out of the room the moment he hears Sarah moving around in the living room.
“Tommy?”
“Look, I need to go.”
You're not sure what’s worse. The hurt or the anger inside you. “I love you.”
“Yeah. I’ll talk to you on Friday.”
“Tommy.” It sounds like a scold. That’s exactly what it is.
“I don’t have time for this.”
“Time for your wife and son?”
“You’re the one who called me.”
“Are you actually going to call on Friday? Or am I gonna end up sitting next to the phone all evening?”
You get silence.
“Tommy?”
“I’ll call.” And then the line goes dead.
You want to scream or yell or cry or all three. You settle for throwing a pillow across the room and giving yourself 5 minutes to cry. There may only be three months of this left, but you’re not sure you’ll actually be talking to your husband at the end of it, not that the two of you do any talking now.
Wiping your eyes, you make your way to the kitchen to start on Joel’s promised breakfast. Nathaniel and Sarah sit at the table comparing sea shells. “Aunt Bonnie?”
“Yes baby doll?” You smile, kissing her head.
“Which one would Daddy like on his card?” She points to a collection of about 5 shells.
“Hmmm,” you crouch down to her level, looking them over. “I think he would like any of them, but this one looks like him.” You point to a blue-grey shell.
She picks it up, inspecting it carefully. “It does look kinda grumpy like him.”
You laugh. That isn’t what you meant, but she wasn’t wrong. “I’m making omelets. What do y’all want in yours?”
The kids are digging into their breakfast when Joel walks out of his room, arms stretching above his head to reveal a little sliver of his tummy. Sarah quickly shoves her Father’s Day project under some magazines.
“Look who decided to wake up.” You smile over your shoulder. “Morning sleepy head.”
“One day of the year I get to sleep in.” He mumbles, shooting a teasing glare your way. He clocks your red eyes before you can turn away.
“Happy Father’s Day, Daddy!” Sarah yells, standing on her chair to give Joel a hug. He chuckles, pulling her into his arms, spinning around, and setting her back on the chair with ease. She laughs.
“Thank you, baby girl.”
“Happy Day!” Nathaniel grins at his uncle.
“Father’s Day.” Sarah corrects. Nathaniel simply shrugs like he’d said the correct thing to begin with.
Joel chuckles, kissing his nephew’s cheek. “Thanks, Bud.”
You track his footsteps over to your side of the kitchen as you invest your full attention on the omelet in front of you. You know he caught your tear-stained eyes. “Fresh coffee in the pot,” You say, keeping your voice even.
You feel his full body heat behind you, a hand falls to your waist as he reaches into the cabinet next to the stove for a coffee mug. Something settles in your stomach.
“What did my idiot brother do now?” He keeps his voice low so the kids don’t overhear.
You shake your head. “It doesn’t matter.”
“Darlin.”
“I don't want to talk about it.” Your head snaps toward him. He’s right there, face so close to yours. Always nearby.
“You sure?”
You bristle a little bit. He drops his hand but stays in your space. “Not right now. We’re celebrating you this morning.” He smiles softly at you. “And I don’t want to burn your omelet, so scram.” You cock your head to the side.
He waits a second, searching for any signs he’s missing something. When he’s sure he isn’t, he gives you a soft smile and a tender kiss on the forehead, and steps over to the coffee pot, leaving you feeling warm and hazy.
The kids help clean up after breakfast. Sarah stands on a bench at the sink to wash dishes and Nathaniel waits patiently with a dish towel to dry the lighter dishes. You and Joel sit at the table, second and third cups of coffee in hand as you oversee their efforts.
“I think I’m going to enjoy this next phase of parenting,” Joel says with a long, content sigh.
You feel the easiness thrumming in your veins. Why couldn’t life always be this way? “Yeah if my anxiety about broken dishes or wet feet doesn’t get the better of me first.”
He chuckles softly, sipping from his mug as an easy silence falls between you. You watch the kids and Joel watches you. Sun pours through the many windows of the beach house. You’re not ready to leave tomorrow.
“You wanna talk about it now?”
You sigh. “Not really. We’re supposed to be celebrating you today.”
“I’ll be able to enjoy myself more if I know what’s going on in your head.”
You keep your gaze focused on the kids, rolling the words around in your head. You feel emotionally exhausted by it all and you’re not even through the morning hours yet.
“Darlin,” Joel kicks at your foot, smile on his face. “C’mon. We can talk about it.”
You set your mug down, turning toward him. “He’s just blowing us off again. I spent more time waiting for him to come to the phone than I did talking to him. He hardly interacted with Nate this morning.” You roll your eyes in an attempt to push away the tears pressing to escape.
Joel reaches across the table, taking your hand. He runs his thumb over your knuckles. It grazes past your wedding band, almost taunting you now.
“I’m sorry. This isn’t fair to either of you,” Joel says.
“You’d think I’d stop letting it affect me at some point.”
Joel bites his lip, eyes pinned to your ring finger. “He’s your husband. Needs to start acting like it,” Joel says gruffly. You catch the spark of something in his deep brown eyes, but you don’t have time to place it.
“We’re done!” Sarah exclaims with a proud smile, her shirt soaked through.
You pull your hand from Joel’s, wrapping it around your warm mug as you laugh. “Thank you for your help. Both of you.” Nathaniel puts the dish towel carefully over the oven handle, shooting you the biggest grin.
“Can we do presents now?” Sarah asks, curls bouncing with her.
“Presents?” Joel says. “Y’all didn’t have to get me anything.”
“Don’t be silly, Daddy.” Sarah says, looking to you for permission.
“I think now is a great time for gifts.”
Both kids run toward their shared room. They had been very excited at the promise of bunk beds. You ease out of your chair. “Not you too.” Joel shakes his head.
You shoot him a wink. “Suck it, Miller.”
Flashes of your delayed Mother’s Day celebration jump between you. Joel had switched up the weekends and hadn’t been prepared, but had made up for it the following weekend. You hadn’t heard from Tommy. He never even mentioned it.
You grab the small box from your suitcase, a small white bow tied around it. The four of you settle in the living room. You sit tucked into one end of the sofa while Joel sits at the other end, a bouncing kid on either side of him.
“Me first!” Sarah says, handing her card and hand-wrapped gift to her father.
Joel takes care, slowly reading the card out loud. His gift consists of a souvenir snow globe and a puca shell necklace. She picked them out with great care at the beach shop the two of you stopped in yesterday. He oos and awes over both.
“You should put on the necklace!” Sarah says, standing up on the cushions of the couch.
“Maybe I want to admire it more,” Joel says.
You bite back a smile. He’s already lost this battle and you both know it.
“Don’t be silly, Daddy.” She grabs it from his hand, determination, and concentration painted on her face as she wraps it around his neck.
“Yeah, don’t be silly, Daddy.” You tease, shooting him a wink. He pokes his tongue out at you as Sarah almost chokes him in the process of securing the necklace.
“Not so tight, baby girl.”
“Oops,” she giggles. “All done.”
She steps back to admire her handiwork, looking quite pleased. “What do you think, Aunt Bonnie?”
“Beautiful,” You smile, laughter evident in your tone of voice. “You look ready to hit the beach.”
“My turn!” Nathaniel announces, handing Joel a hand-drawn picture depicting their day at the beach yesterday. He goes into great detail describing everything he drew. Joel’s hand rests on Nate’s shoulder blades, head tucked toward him as he takes in everything the boy says with practiced patience and intentionality.
It strikes something in your heart, a deep longing. That should be Tommy. But it also sends a deep sense of gratitude toward your brother-in-law for picking up where his brother has failed. You swallow back the tears, losing track of how much you’ve had to do that today.
“Thank you, Bud. I love it.” Joel kisses Nathaniel's head.
“You’re welcome, Daddy.”
Joel freezes. Ice rushes through your bloodstream. Your eyes meet Joel’s. What do you say to that? Neither of you knows the answer.
“He’s not your daddy, Nate,” Sarah says, pulling out her older sister voice. “He’s your uncle.”
“Oh yeah,” Nathaniel shrugs, unbothered by his mishap as he swings his legs back and forth, hitting the couch with his heels as he does.
“Aunt Bonnie, do you have the other gift?” Sarah asks, determined to keep the morning on schedule.
“Yeah, right here.” You fumble around, finding the box tucked between yourself and the couch. Joel keeps his eyes on you trying to figure out what’s running through your mind, but he can’t.
Sarah plucks the box from your hands before presenting it to her father. “This is from all three of us.”
She looks very proud of herself. Joel takes it with a smile, eyes flickering back to you briefly. You give him an encouraging nod.
He loosens the bow, pulling off the top. The kids lean over either side of his body, excited for the reveal even though they’ve both seen it. He pulls it out, inspecting it carefully. A black watch face with silver accents and an olive green watch band. His eyes dart to yours. You smile at him.
“You’ve been talking about it for years.” You smirk, sipping your coffee. “You were never gonna do it yourself.”
“It’s exactly what I wanted.” He shakes his head, a stunned chuckle shaking his chest. “How’d you know?”
“Found an old picture Tommy had stored away last fall.”
“Look at the back.” Sarah bounces with excitement.
Joel flips it over. His brows knit together as he catches the inscription. Happy Father’s Day. We love you. Sarah and Nathaniel. 1997.
“Do you like it?” Sarah looks up at him with sparkling excitement.
“I love it.” He kisses her cheek, thanking both the children. He wraps it around his wrist, buckling it into place.
“Now you won’t be late anymore,” Sarah says, making you and Joel laugh.
“We can only hope,” you say.
Joel looks up at you with one of the most heartfelt smiles you’ve ever seen. His lips move silently. Thank you.
You nod in response.
You spend the final day of your vacation on the beach until the sun has disappeared. Joel ends up running back to the house to grab the car so your two very tired children don’t melt down. You hurry through bath time, trying to get all the sand from hair and bodies. You’re sure you’ll be finding sand all over your and Joel’s homes for months.
You provide goodnight hugs and kisses, but Joel takes bedtime duties. You’re cleaning up the kitchen, and packing up pantry items when the first lines of You Are My Sunshine drift out of the kid’s bedroom in Joel’s soft melodies. The kids' sleepy voices talk him into another lullaby and then another before their eyelids slip closed and their breathing evens out.
The door clicks softly and you’ve already pulled the margarita pitcher and new solo cups. “See they talked you into the whole set list tonight.” You smile, filling the cups with the last of the margaritas.
“It’s the last night of vacation.” Joel chuckles. He grabs the blanket off the back of the couch and the half-eaten bag of pretzels. “They asked so nicely.”
“And you’re a big softy.”
You grab both cups, following Joel out to your spot on the deck. It’s cooler tonight, the breeze a bit stronger. You sit across from each other, feet propped in the seat of the other’s chair with the blanket spread across your legs. Joel sets the pretzels right at your knees.
“Did you enjoy your day?” You ask, sipping on the day-old margarita. It goes down easier tonight, and your cup is filled to the brim.
“It was a good day.” Joel smiles at you, easy and relaxed. The world and your issues feel so far away here despite the day’s earlier events. “Probably the best Father’s Day yet.”
“Oh you mean it beats the raw banana bread from last year?” You’re laughing before the sentence fully leaves your mouth. Joel’s head falls back, chest vibrating with laughter.
His hair curls more from the salty air and fits him, tanned skin, curly hair, Puca shell necklace and all. You wonder if you look like a similar version of yourself, the relaxed beach version.
“Sarah trying to choke me with the necklace beats whatever it was you tried to bake last year.”
You stick out your tongue. The pretzel bag rustles as he grabs a handful. You take another drink from your cup. Joel Miller makes a mean margarita.
“What about you? Did you have a good day then?”
You take an extra second to think about it before nodding. “Yeah. I can’t complain when it comes to well-behaved kids and the beach.”
“Nathaniel calling me dad didn’t throw you off, I hope.”
Your shoulders tense a little bit. “I think I’m the one who should be asking that.”
“Kinda surprised it hasn’t happened sooner if I’m being honest.” Joel’s pointer finger slides along the lip of his cup before he brings it to his lips.
You bite your lips, staring at the house across the street. “Same.”
“Sorry, that was kinda a mood killer.” Joel’s hand rests on your calf.
“It’s fine. You’re more of a father to him than his real dad.” You try to wave it off, but the facts are reeling in your mind like a movie. “Fuck, you were in the delivery room, and coached his T-ball team, and you’ve tucked him into bed more times than Tommy ever has.” You swipe away the moisture that’s gathered in your eyes, chasing them with another gulp of your drink.
“Hey… maybe you should slow down there.” Joel leans forward, his feet dropping from your chair as he grabs the solo cup from you and the pretzels tumble to the deck.
“I don’t think that’s necessary.” You reach for the cup, but Joel keeps it out of reach, setting it on the ground next to his.
“I do.” He’s firm with you, grabbing your hands and tucking them between his. You can’t meet his eyes, embarrassment flooding your body. “What's going on in your mind right now?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“Darlin,” He tugs gently on your arms. Your feet greet the warm deck as you're forced to sit up straighter. The side of your knee bumps against his. “You can talk to me.”
“I just want to enjoy our last night, Joel.”
“Can’t do that if I’m worried about you.” He tips your chin up, forcing you to meet his eyes.
The street lights flicker off his warm eyes. You feel his touch linger under your chin. Extra warmth gathers in each place he touches. The words bubbling up in you, helpless to stop the thoughts circling in your head for months.
“I’m not sure my marriage is salvageable. I don’t know if I’ll recognize my husband when he gets out. I don’t think he’s the same person-“ You can’t finish through the choked-out sobs.
Joel lets out a soft sigh and before you know it, he’s tugging your pliant body into his lap, rubbing your back. He kisses your head. Your head finds the crook of his neck, fingers digging into the back of it. He’s the steady rock he’s always been. It does little to soothe your racing mind.
You have so many questions and no answers. Tommy’s release from prison always felt like a distant finish line. Now, three months away, it feels like just the start.
“No matter what, I’ve got you,” Joel says, hand cupping your cheek. “I’m here for you.”
How much longer can you continue to find solace in your brother-in-law's arms? How much longer will Joel play the part Tommy is supposed to? Supporter, parent, partner…
You pull back, fingers still wrapped around his neck. The metal of your wedding ring presses against his skin, but he’s used to feeling it. He doesn’t even think about it anymore. Your forehead nearly touches his. The pools of his deep eyes are endless. They’re different than Tommy’s. You don’t mean to compare, but you like it, soft and inviting after sleeping on rocks for years. You think you catch the hints of desire in them. You’ve forgotten what it feels like to be desired.
There’s a fight, a push and pull between you. Who’s going to do it. His hot breath fans across your lips. Who’s going to be the one to finally cross the line you’ve been toeing for so long and drag the other one into exile with them? It’s a lush oasis in the middle of the desert you’ve been traveling. One move and you can dip your toe in.
Joel gives in first, leaning in. Your eyes flutter shut with anticipation, another touch of his breath. His nose nudges against yours. You catch a whiff of the salt on his skin, and then, nothing, a mirage all in your head leaving you stranded in the desert.
Confusion knits your brow before your eyes are open. Joel is still close, closer than a man that’s not your husband should be, but he feels further away than ever.
His thumb nudges your bottom lip. He gives a weak smile in an attempt to cover his true emotions. “We can’t…”
He’s right. You hate yourself for getting so carried away. “I know.”
Your hand drops from his neck. You might be sitting on his lap but he’s never felt farther from you.
“You should go to bed.”
You think to fight him on it, but you decide not to. You stand up. Joel doesn’t move, thumb playing with the lip of his solo cup. He can’t meet your eyes and it feels like you might be losing him too.
Before you can think better of it, you lean down, pressing a soft kiss to his cheek. Your fingers rake through his hair twice over. His eyes close and he lilts into you just the slightest.
“Thank you, Joel. For everything.”
His Adam’s Apple bobs as you pull away. He keeps his eyes pinned ahead, fingers curling around the red plastic. He’s barely holding on to control.
“Good night,” he says, voice gruff, never looking away from his fixed point.
“Goodnight.”
Joel finishes off yours and his margarita before he falls into bed. It’s just enough to keep him buzzed as he runs toward rest. He can’t get the feel of you out of his mind, how close he was to ripping apart his whole family.
He’s in and out of sleep when the door pops open. He assumes it’s Sarah. She probably had a bad dream, and tosses the corner of the comforter back. Except, the full size mattress dips lower than it should. He reaches out but instead of Sarah’s small frame, he gets a handful of your waist as the smell of you fills his nostrils. In the haze of sleep, Joel opens his eyes just enough to find you facing away from him.
The bed isn’t big enough for his legs not to tangle with yours, not if he wants restful sleep. Your body doesn’t tense under his touch. You don’t say anything. Neither does he, but your body melts into him until he finds his arm fully around your middle, back flush against his front.
Joel Miller considers himself a good man, but a good man doesn’t yearn for his brother’s wife. A good man doesn’t give into the temptation to have her so close, to be with her so intimately. Tonight, Joel Miller doesn’t worry about being a good man. Maybe it’s the alcohol, but tonight, Joel Miller falls asleep with you in his arms and bed. Tonight, Joel Miller’s deepest desires come true. Just for tonight, he gets to pretend you’re his.
You wake up to an empty bed like you have since Tommy went to prison, but something feels off about it. A familiar smell lingers under your nose, and unfamiliar warmth fills you even though the sheets are cold.
You let out a soft groan, eyes fluttering open. You stare up at the ceiling, convinced once again that something feels off. You turn to look at the clock on the bed stand but there’s not one there. The walls are a different color and you shoot up as it all comes flooding back.
You almost kissed Joel last night. The way you tossed and turned before giving into temptation and crawling in beside him. He hadn’t fought you, hadn’t said a word but pulled you flush against him in the bed that was just a bit too small. You’d slept like a baby for the first time in years.
Joel sits at the table with the kids as they shovel the last of the extra sugary cereal into their mouths. A special vacation treat. You expect Joel to ignore you or at least be standoffish, but he hands you a cup of steaming coffee with the same smile he always does, crow’s feet crinkling at the corners of his eyes as if nothing happened.
You offer a smile in response. A silent agreement to never speak on it again.
You’ve been home for a week when it comes, a plain white envelope stuffed with something soft labeled with a return address you’re all too familiar with written in Tommy’s chicken scratch handwriting.
You wait until Nathaniel is down for the night, but it throws you the whole evening. Letters from Tommy are more rare than phone calls. You’ve received one, maybe two since he was incarcerated. Considering he’d promised to call on after Father’s day and hadn’t, the mysterious letter makes you feel unsettled. What shoes are left to drop?
You run the envelope through your hands, thumb picking at the corner of the seal, uncommitted to actually tearing it open. You’re worried whatever lies within will only hurt you more. You can’t sustain more hurt.
Finally, you dig into the corner, tearing it open. Your eyebrows knit together. White fabric is neatly folded and tucked within. You pull it out, revealing a square of white fabric, like a bandana unfurls and a note falls to the floor. As you take in the black and white drawing on the fabric, you gasp. It’s a drawing of the picture you keep on your nightstand. The moment Tommy met Nathaniel for the first time. Tommy’s arm is wrapped around you, Nathaniel in his arms with the biggest grin on his face. It’s a moment that’s seared into your memory. Seeing it portrayed like this brings tears to your eyes, the emotions from that day and the last 696 flooding your body.
Before the tear completely blur your vision, you pick up the note. You can barely make out Tommy’s handwriting when your eyes are clear, but you manage.
Baby,
You and I both know I didn’t draw this. My cellmate did based on the photo. You probably know that. They call them paños. I’ve seen a lot of the ones guys in here have sent to their girls. They’re pretty cool.
I’m sorry. I wish I could be better for you and Nathaniel. I love you, Bonnie.
Tommy.
Tears stream down your face. Just like that your heart seems to forget the heartache of the last couple years. This proves that your Tommy is still inside him somewhere, fighting to come back to you. You’ll do anything to have your Tommy back.
It doesn’t matter if you're grasping at threads. Your heart overpowers your mind. You’re determined that you can pull him back by those threads, maybe not now, but once he’s out. Once he’s out, you can bring him back. You’re his Bonnie. He’s your Clyde. You’re tied together. Your heart beats for him, but you don’t catch a piece of your heart breaking off from the rest. That part can't beat for Tommy. It’s attached to someone else.

Aftg x FNAF fic idea.
BACKGROUND
February, 1997- drake spear is (dishonorably) discharged from the marines.
the spear family decides to purchase a local pizza place (the upper middle class family thought it would be a good environment to raise foster kids also it’s a place where Richard can put his robotic prowess to use)
they have had two (foster kids) so far and for some reason none of them stick.
June, 1997- drake moves out of his parents house.
July, 1997- the business takes off under the spears management.
Children love the robots.
October, 1997- a child goes missing at the restaurant.
The police questioned the owners but determined none had anything to do with it.
They were wrong.
March, 1998- 12 year old Andrew Doe was placed in the care of the spears.
Two months later he meets drake (he was busy with the investigation and didn’t want to risk getting caught)
Andrew got quiet after that. (more so than usual)
The next two years are basically the same as canon for Andrew except the existence of Freddy Fazbears.
June, 2000- four children go missing at the pizzeria.
Drake tries to make Andrew watch the last one.
Andrew fights back(for the first time)
He couldn’t care less about himself but he draws the line at watching drake hurt other kids.
June, 2000- the Andrew Doe became the fifth victim of the 2000 missing children’s incident.
None of the children’s bodies are found.
Backtrack to two years earlier.
The business is loosing patronage because of the first murder.
Nathan Wesninskie, mob boss and serial killer, Nathan sees the goings down and decides to invest in the company to keep it going.
{Idk his reasoning but bare with me here}
Back in July, 2000- Nathan sends Lola and the newly caught Alex Nathaniel to clean up drakes mess.
Dead kids is not something Nathan wants to publicly be associated with.
Nathaniel tries to run.
Andrew gains a friend.
They are two enraged and vengeful souls stuck in the same vessel.(golden Freddy)
The actual story
Aarons pov. October 2000
He’s alone.
His mom is distant and neglectful.
But she’s never hurt him.(in canon she doesn’t start hurting him till after he contacts Andrew)
She’s high a lot.
She had a date with some guy and she lets him come with her. It’s at an exy game.
He likes exy.
This stranger keeps calling him Andrew and asking where he’s been.
He’s a police officer .
He has had a twin.
He steals his mom’s pills to ease the ache of what could have been.
He hates his mom for giving Andrew away. He hates the spears for letting Andrew out of their sight, he hates Officer Huggins for telling him about Andrew, most of all he hates himself for not being able to do anything to help Andrew.
His mom takes one too many pills when he’s 16, he doesn’t cry at her funeral.
He’s lucky Nicky cares.
They greave the “what if” together.
He’s 20, with a scholarship at palmetto university. He plays exy with Nicky.
He likes exy
He wonders if Andrew would have liked exy.
He’s been sober for years.
He and Matt really helped each other with their sobriety.
Kate also helps.
Every year on the date of his brothers disappearance he goes to the memorial. (There are no grave for a missing nobody, a Doe)
The spears knew but they didn’t want to think about it.
If they pretend Andrew never existed, then it never really happened, right.
Someone else is at the memorial.
Hes never really believed the spears were entirely innocent
the lady tells him about Freddy fazbears
She looks like a broken woman
(She lost her son)
Something doesn’t feel right
Over summer break he gets a job as a nighttime security guard.
His family comes with him for moral support (the foxes)
He is going to find out what happened to his brother.
And Andrew is going to fucking kill anyone who tries to hurt him or any of the other children.
(In his eyes anyone who is there at night is a threat)
Nothing good had ever happened when someone comes near him at night.
Then stuff happens and Aaron eventually finds out what happened to Andrew and he kills drake. In the end Andrew, Neil and the other kids are set free.
The sub plot would involve Andrew and Neil slowly growing to trust each other and the other dead kids forming a bond that starts to heal their mental wounds. Kinda their both still angry and vengeful ghosts who’s only purpose (in their minds) is to protect the other kids)
Andrew died fighting for them and that followed him into death and Neil ran when he saw Andrew’s corpse and although he ran for himself after death he feels unexplainably protective over Andrew.
NOT A ROMANTIC STORY FOR NEIL AND ANDREW. THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS PLATONIC BECAUSE THEY ARE FOURTEEN AND THIRTEEN AND DEAD. (They don’t need romance they need some who will stand unwavering at their side)

Time line of Adventure of Y/n Barton and Yelena Belova
Hello Everyone! I’ve created a timeline for our lovely reader that includes ages and where she is at some major moments in the MCU (plus adding the stories where they fall). This will be an active document as stories will be added! Let me know what you want to see one shots of stuff I haven’t written!
You are the eldest daughter born to Clint and Laura Barton with the ability to shapeshift into any animal.
Born: 1996, while your parents were working at SHIELD. Clint recruited Natasha in 1997.
2000 (age 4): there was a kidnapping attempt on you but it was stopped by Natasha. Fury helped set up in the Farm House where you lived there with her mother and soon 2 other siblings.
2002 (age 6): Cooper is born
2004 (age 8): Lila is born
Marvel Cinematic Universe
2012 (age 16): Battle of New York; you are at home with Laura, Cooper, and Lila trying to keep it together while Clint is under Loki’s control
2013 (age 17): you move to NYC to go to college. You come home a few breaks until you see how different her siblings are treated. During college, you get an internship with Pepper.
2015 (age 19): Age of Ultron - you are at the party when Ultron attacks and Clint forces you home. When the Avengers need a place to stay post the fight with Maximoff, you meet the Avengers with her true identity. At first they try to get you to fight with them but you decline. You stay home till Nathaniel is born and your father ‘retires’ then return to the compound.
2016 (age 20): You decided on going to online schooling so you can move from the compound, to Iowa, to your apartment in the City.
Would Anyone Care by Citizen Solider
You are at the compound when the accords get brought up. You side with Steve right away and your heart is broken by Natasha’s siding with signing the accords. Natasha tells you to leave the compound. But you don’t listen, when Civil War happens you are at the compound when Clint tries to recruit Wanda (you distract Vision for them to leave). You are back in the city when you find out about the fight in Germany and the arrests. Once the accords get overturned, you go back to the compound where Natasha brings Yelena.
Brother (Sister) by Madds Buckley
2017 (21): you graduate college with a bachelor degree in psychology focusing on childhood trauma.
2018 (22): When the Blip happens you are in the city where Clint comes to pick you up and drops you off the compound.
2018-2023 (22-27): 5 years you lived with Natasha at the compound during those years you were working towards your next degree, a doctorate.
How Do I Say Good-bye by Dean Lewis
2023 - 2024: you finish your doctorate in New York City due to your issues with Clint.
2024 (age 28): Hawkeye - you help Clint and Kate with the whole Ronin thing
The start of the main story
July 2025 (age 29) - She by Dodie
July - August 2025: On Top of the World by Imagine Dragons / Day & Night by Avicii
August 2025 - November 2025: Don’t Tell
November 2025: Little Did You Know by Alex and Sierra
December 2025: Chicken Tendies by Clinton Kane / Somebody to You by the Banners

OpenSea says it has “no awareness” of any involvement of its former executive in dubious business practices.
OpenSea, a non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace where people can buy or sell digital collectibles, has once again become controversial after an X account revealed that the marketplace’s former executive was involved in “dubious” business practices.
1/ Dear @OpenSea, what do you think of the fact that your Head of Ventures, Kevin Pawlak, has been involved in various very dubious business dealings (e.g. Anubis) and pump & dump schemes under his pseudonymous identity @0xSisyphus (& 0xMagellan)? pic.twitter.com/GzIVLJirLE— NFT Ethics (@NFTethics) October 6, 2023
According to NFT Ethics, OpenSea’s former head of ventures, Kevin Pawlak, has been involved in multiple “very dubious business dealings,” pump and dump schemes, and conflicts of interest under his pseudonymous identity 0xSisyphus, which is also known as one of the key influencers of an alleged $60 million rug pull AnubisDAO.
NFT Ethics says Pawlak reportedly tried to influence decisions at OpenSea “using his account without disclosing that he was an actual employee who would benefit from those decisions.”
Having checked the timestamps on Pawlak’s crypto domain (pawlak.eth) and 0xSisyphus (sisyphus.eth), NFT Ethics found out that addresses “perfectly match” as they both conducted on-chain activity almost simultaneously.
Lookonchain, an X account focused on blockchain analytics, shares the theory about Pawlak, saying the OpenSea executive “is one of the largest PnD (Pump and Dump) in the field and is involved in market manipulation and scams.”
A spokesperson for OpenSea said in a commentary to the media that Pawlak left the company in June 2023. The firm claims it is unaware of Pawlak’s involvement in scam schemes, noting he had a “limited scope” while working at OpenSea.
“Furthermore, we have no connection to, or information about, the projects in question, as they took place before his time at OpenSea.”
OpenSea representative
OpenSea’s troubled execs
For OpenSea, this is the second time the firm has faced criticism over the hidden business activities of its executives.
As crypto.news reported in August 2023, the U.S. court sentenced Nathaniel Chastain, a former product manager at NFT marketplace OpenSea, to a three-month incarceration for his insider trading on OpenSea.
Furthermore, he was also instructed to pay a fine of $50,000 and relinquish any unlawful cryptocurrency gains acquired from his OpenSea trading ventures.
On Sept. 6, the legal representatives of Nathaniel Chastain submitted a letter to a New York District Court, notifying the judge that Chastain has chosen to retract his bail application while the appeal is ongoing. As per the court’s earlier verdict, Chastain will willingly surrender himself by Nov. 2 to start serving his sentence while the appeal is being reviewed.

Terra Nova AU / Lucket AU - Political Rivals (modern AU)
Skye as the young idealistic representative with a manipulative streak and Lucas as the shameless sly lobyist who develops a soft spot for his beautiful opponent as they debate whether or not the wildlife sanctuary of Terra Nova for endangered dinosaurs should be opened for the mining of meteor ore. With Taylor as the mayor/president.

So, before you go was there something I could've said to make your heart beat better ? If only I'd have known you had a storm to weather. So, before you go was there something I could've said to make it all stop hurting ? It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless.

I was scrolling through my Rethaniel tag earlier and realized it’s somehow been over a year since the last Rethaniel Appreciation Week because time is an illusion and nothing is real. Is that a thing we should do again? 👀

👶🏻 + nate & june
name: leo watkins
birthday: trinta de outubro
personality headcanons: leo é intenso em tudo que faz, é apaixonado pela vida e pela adrenalina. sempre preferiu o não convencional e vive a vida a sua maneira, sem se importar com o que é esperado pelos outros. é um espírito livre, apaixonado por viajar e conhecer o mundo, ama a cidade onde nasceu mas não se imagina vivendo para sempre no mesmo lugar. apesar disso, como um verdadeiro atwood, leo preza muito pela família e ama os eventos que reúnem todos.
what was their first word and how old were they when they said it: june passou duas semanas se vangloriando, porque a primeira palavra de leo foi mama, aos onze meses.
did they get in trouble in school: não intencionalmente, mas leo sempre foi da turma da bagunça e acabava se metendo nas mais diversas confusões com os amigos.
which parent were they more attached to: leo tem muita admiração por seus pais, mas desde criança ele idolatra nate. para o pequeno leo, observar tudo que o pai fazia (e como fazia) era uma das únicas formas de deixá-lo quieto por mais de cinco minutos – porque, como bom filho de june, leo sempre foi bem hiperativo.
what was their favorite toy: não é exatamente um brinquedo, mas leo aprendeu a andar de caiaque ainda bem criança e foi a partir desse momento que ficou fissurado em praticar esportes ao ar livre. de brinquedos mesmo, seus favoritos eram seus carrinhos e as pistas que tinha para brincar com eles.
did they cry a lot as a baby: leo era um bebê bastante agitado, então sim, ele chorava bastante.
movie they watched over and over: quando criança, leo assistiu com o pai aos filmes de shrek. como leo tem um humor igualzinho ao do pai, ele amou os filmes e já os viu diversas vezes.
what was their favorite subject in school: educação física pode contar como matéria favorita? porque sempre foram os períodos mais esperados por leo. além dessa, leo também gostava bastante das aulas de geografia.
were they social growing up or quiet: completamente sociável. apesar de não falar tanto quanto june, leo é extrovertido e sempre gostou de estar cercado de pessoas.
which parent do they take after: fisicamente, leo é uma mistura perfeita de sua mãe e seu pai: tem os olhos claros de june, mas os cabelos escuros de nate. dependendo do momento, acaba sendo mais comparado com um do que com outro, mas varia bastante.
what do they grow up to be: fazer faculdade nunca esteve em seus planos. chegou a cursar um ano, mas começou a desenvolver uma startup com dois amigos na época e acabou largando a universidade para focar no projeto. os primeiros anos foram bem difíceis em termos financeiros, mas quando a empresa engrenou leo decidiu que gostaria de ser nômade digital por um tempo e passou a viver em uma van, percorrendo a américa do norte.
random headcanons: leo aprendeu a cozinhar com os pais e é, assim como eles, apaixonado por culinária | leo trabalhou em meio período na lemon crème durante a adolescência | adora tecnologia e desde a adolescência é fissurado em aprender sobre o que há de novo por aí | tem um humor tão idiota quanto o de june e nate juntos | ama pregar pegadinhas nos pais, que começaram a fazer o mesmo com ele | a ideia da startup surgiu quando os três amigos estavam completamente bêbados, começaram a escrever as ideias de brincadeira e no dia seguinte perceberam que era, na verdade, uma ideia incrível | esportes radicais estão entre suas coisas preferidas no mundo pra fazer - adora esquiar, fazer trilhas, rapel e surfar, principalmente | não gosta de ler | ama frutos do mar
do they get along with their parents: june e nate não mudaram muito, em termos de personalidade, quando se tornaram pais. assim, a criação de leo acabou sendo muito tranquila e despojada. deixavam que leo explorasse e se conhecesse, além de conhecer o mundo – talvez tenha sido essa influência que o fez querer ser tão livre. dessa forma, sua relação com os dois é muito boa. sente, vindo dos pais, muito companheirismo e amizade.

Baby Barnes
Pairing: Bucky x reader
For the Flex Your Muscles Writing Challenge set up by @captain-rogers-beard
6th of June prompt: Clammy
Summary: The baby is on its way and Bucky can’t wait!
Warnings: Total fluff
Word count: 800
Authors notes: GIF not mine. You guessed it, another Bucky fanfic! Can’t get enough of this challenge. Currently fluff central here but let’s see what the rest of the month brings! Let me know what you think :)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bucky placed his flesh hand to your forehead. You felt clammy. He stepped away from you briefly and returned with a cool flannel which he pressed to your head. “Thank you” you murmured as he cupped your cheek and swept his thumb gently over your cheek bone.
He couldn’t believe his luck, you were perfect. He hadn’t ever imagined being able to have a life like this. You had accepted him, the good and the bad. You had helped him overcome the horrors from his past as the winter soldier. You completed him. Of course, you had wobbles along the way. He had put you at arm’s length when you first joined the Avengers, he acted arrogant and cold at times trying to disguise his true feelings for you. But eventually he couldn’t keep the walls up any longer and admitted exactly how he felt about you, of course after some gentle persuasion from Steve. As it turns out, you had felt exactly the same. He had proposed on the 1-year anniversary of your first date and had married you 6 months later.
Bucky had cried when you told him you were expecting. He was overjoyed, he had swept you off your feet and swung you around. It wasn’t until you had reminded him that you were pregnant that he put you down. You hadn’t expected the pregnancy to take such a toll on your body, you were an avenger after all. But as Dr Cho had reminded you during your 12 week scan it wasn’t just your typical baby growing inside you; it had Bucky’s super soldier DNA. Dr Cho had said it would be hard for you to carry the baby to full term factoring in its accelerated growth. After that, Bucky had nagged you to take a break from the team for the duration of your pregnancy. You had reluctantly agreed knowing he wanted to keep you both safe. The team had all got involved as well, helping you to convert part of your flat in the compound into a nursery, organising baby showers and of course placed bets on what you were having.
Your waters broke when you were 7 and a half months pregnant. You panicked immediately but Bucky sprang into action, reassuring you and calming you down. He had secretly already packed a go bag for the hospital a while ago, especially after your last check-up where the midwife explained that the baby was already fully developed. So here you were in a New York hospital about to give birth. Bucky was attentive, getting you anything you needed and staying by your side to help you focus through your contractions. You had already been in labour for 16 hours and were completely and utterly exhausted. He kept telling you how much he loved you and running a soothing hand up and down your back. You were thankful that Bucky had a metal hand that you could crush during your contractions, a normal hand would have broken under the force. The midwife quickly checked how you were doing and told you it was time to start pushing. “Buck, whatever I yell at you for the next 10 minutes I don’t mean it. I just need to get this baby out” The last part of your sentence turned into a scream as another contraction hit you and you started to push.
The cries of a baby filled the room and Bucky looked from you to the baby with tears in his eyes. The nurse asked if he wanted to cut the cord and he jumped at the opportunity. Bucky carried your new born son over to meet you. His eyes filled with complete love and pride as he handed the grizzling baby down to you. “He’s perfect” you whispered to Bucky. He leant down and placed the sweetest kiss to your lips “I love you so much Y/N.” You looked at the baby in your arms; he had a mop of dark brown had and a pair of the bluest eyes that could only be rivalled by those of his father. You hadn’t found out the gender of the baby at any of the scans wanting it to be a surprise, you had however discussed a few baby names. “I think we should call him Grant” your gaze met Bucky’s and he nodded, it was perfect. You put your fingers gently on your son’s chest above his heart. “Welcome to the world Grant Nathaniel Barnes.” A tiny hand grasped your finger. Bucky placed one arm around you shoulder and placed his hand on yours currently supporting the baby’s head. “I think he likes it.” He chuckled leaning down to place a kiss on his son’s head trying to remember a time when he had ever felt happier. He couldn’t, this was it, the best moment of his life.

I know I rarely post/reblog but I’m queuing up a bunch of posts and I’m going to take another social media hiatus. I spend waaay too much time just idly scrolling that could be better spent reading, drawing, or sewing. (Might even queue up some of my self indulgent Warden Surana x Nathaniel Howe doodles on main/art blog. Who knows!)
Tentatively thinking of coming back in the summer (and a short while in May because of Multiverse of Madness aha), so maybe around June. Hit me up on Discord if you need me in the meantime.
Until then--be good, kids!
