#Caroline: I'll bring you up some tea

[stargazer-sims]

Christmas Eve

Caroline: 🎶 Rockin’ around the Christmas tree… 🎶

Victor: Miss Caroline, you are an excellent dancer.

Caroline: Thank you! I learned it all from Yuri.

Victor: Well, that must mean Yuri is an excellent teacher.

Caroline: Yup! You and Yuri both are. So is Uncle Leo, and also my teacher at school. Oh, and my riding instructor. She said I have, um… an affinity with horses. I think that means horses really like me.

Victor: Yes, that’s exactly what it means.

Caroline: Yay! That’s a good thing, ‘cause I really like horses too. Some day I’m going to have my own. You know, when I grow up and get a lot of money.

Victor: Oh? What kind of job are you going to do to earn a lot of money?

Caroline: I think a math teacher or a baker. Or maybe a superhero. Or maybe me and Forest could make books together like Yuri and Mr. Abbottsford. I could write the stories and Forest could draw the pictures.

Victor: You know what? I think you and Forest could do that before you grow up if you wanted to. It sounds like a lot of fun.

Caroline: Would we get famous?

Victor: Maybe.

Caroline: As famous as Santa?

Victor: I don’t think anyone else could be that famous.

Caroline: Hmm... probably not.

Victor: Do you think your friend Forest would like to be famous?

Caroline: I don't know. He's kinda shy. But, I want to be famous. I want people to see me and say, 'We know that girl. She's Caroline. She's super smart and awesome, and we love her!'

Victor: Can I be one of your fans?

Caroline: Yeah!

Victor: Okay! I know this girl. She's Caroline, and she's super smart and awesome, and I love her.

Caroline: *giggling* I love you, Victor. You're super smart and awesome too.

Victor: Thank you. Now, how about you tell me more about your future plans for fame on the way downstairs to bed?

Caroline: I don't want to go to bed. I'm not even tired.

Victor: If you don't want to sleep, that's okay. You can play quietly in your room until you're sleepy if you want, but no iPad, okay? And I need you to stay in your room unless you have to go to the bathroom.

Caroline: Or if there's an emergency?

Victor: If there's an emergency, Yuri or I will come and get you.

Caroline: Okay. Can you read me a story?

Victor: Sure, and I'll come down to check on you before I leave for work, to see if you're sleeping or not.

Caroline: You have to work tonight?

Victor: Yeah, but I'll be back in time for breakfast and presents.

Caroline: Promise?

Victor: I promise. You and Yuri can have some nice tea waiting for me when I get home, and then I'll cook you a fabulous Christmas breakfast. Then we can see what Santa brought for you. How does that sound?

Caroline: Good, but... Victor?

Victor: Yeah?

Caroline: Does Santa know how to find kids who are in the hospital at Christmas?

Victor: Of course he does. All of us nurses and the doctors and other staff decorate our unit with lots of holiday stuff, and we even have a Christmas tree in the family room. When Santa flies past the hospital and sees all the holiday lights, he stops and brings something special for everyone.

Caroline: And you're going to take care of all the kids who can't be home for Christmas, right?

Victor: Yes. I always do the very best I can to make sure everyone's as comfortable as possible. Don't worry.

Caroline: Good. You're the best ever.

Victor: *amused* Nope. Obviously not sleepy at all.

Victor: Okay, little one. Jump in bed and cover your head.

Caroline: 'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight!

Victor: Right.

Victor: Do you still want a story?

Caroline: *mumbling* Not really.

Victor: Have a good rest, then. I'll see you in the morning.

Victor: I love you.

Victor: *to himself* I’m gonna be exhausted by tomorrow afternoon, but I’ve got a feeling it’ll be totally worth it. I think this is going to be the best Christmas ever.

Tuesday's Stardew Valley Canon Pairings Hot Takes

* (This includes the actual married couples and psuedo-couples that are implied to be canon if the player didn't intervene)

I'll start with Maru and Harvey because I've already given my opinion on them, but I'll go into a little more depth. Harvey looks like he's mid 30s or early 40s while Maru is apparently young enough for Demetrius to get protective of her when the player is basically just getting friendly at that point. Is Harvey different because he's a doctor? I feel like Demetrius would notice how unprofessional it is for an employer to date an employee, but what do I know? This isn't Maru's fault, though the vague information from canon makes me uneasy.

Speaking of Demetrius, I want to say that Robin and Demetrius are the best couple in the game. I love the way they dance together at the saloon on Fridays, you can tell they're still very much in love. They have disagreements, but they ultimately care about each other.

Sebastian and Abigail feels kinda one-sided? Like it's implied Seb has a crush on Abi, but he doesn't consider her a friend even though she comes to visit him. It's always "Sam is the only friend I have" or something along those lines. Not that I really ship Seb with Sam (Sam feels too immature to be in a relationship rn) but I feel like Seb and Abi are just paired together because they're both alt.

Sam and Penny just feels chaotic on all ends. Sam can't even have the player over at night without panicking about his Mommy—does Penny really need that energy in her life? She's already kinda caring for the only two children in the valley, she doesn't need to have a third child on her hands. This feels like the couple that used to be high school sweethearts only to grow to resent each other as time passes on.

Jodi and Kent is hard for me to read into fairly. I mean, Kent isn't even there for the first year and when he does come home, he seems emotionally detached to everything. I don't remember a time where Kent really talks about his role as a father or husband. Not Kent's fault, he literally has PTSD, it's just that Kent and Jodi don't really feel happy together.

Leah and Elliott, on the other hand, just make sense with each other. They look like they were literally made for one another. Part of me feels bad whenever I try to split them up because I don't think I could make them as happy as they make each other.

Alex and Haley bring out the worst in each other. There's a reason they don't talk to each other as much once they start their character development. Alex likes Haley because she's pretty, Haley likes Alex because he's handsome. Nothing more to say.

Evelyn and George are sweet. It can lean a little into "boomer wife humor" territory at times, but some of it makes sense if you consider that George has internalized ableism and he doesn't like having lack of agency (I mean, would you want to be dragged into the freezing snow against your will in a metal wheelchair, regardless of whether it was the festival you met your spouse at?). Evelyn cares about George a lot though and it's sweet how she tries to get him to see people still care about him. I feel like she's why George has the motivation to wake up each morning (that, and taking care of his grandson). I don't want to make this too long, but they're a sweet elderly couple and I like their dynamic.

Pierre and Caroline are meh. Part of that is because I see Pierre as "smug seed dispenser" and Caroline as "the woman who is probably into essential oils and is anti-vax" erm, "the tea lady who doesn't have much of an identity outside her family and her tea room". Other people have made better observe about them, though I don't know if they really love each other. Doesn't really help that Pierre is usually selling stuff during festivals instead of spending time with his family.

Emily and Clint is a HUGE "hell no" for me. Clint has incel vibes and it's confirmed when he completely ghosts her after she gets into a relationship...and Emily still wanted to be his friend! Clint shouldn't even be getting mad when he can't even talk to Emily without the player threatening to never upgrade their tools again.

Emily and Shane only really exists as a pairing because the two of them weren't designed to be suitors at first, but I like them a lot more than Clint and Emily. Shane is always around the bar, so they'd interact quite a bit. They both care about animals deeply (look at me and tell me Emily wouldn't be thrilled about the Blu chickens!). I can see them working as a couple.

Not going to lie, I nearly forgot about Lewis and Marnie. They're the tabloid gossip couple and no one would be thinking that if Lewis wasn't too pathetic to be open about his relationship with Marnie. You've been misusing the budget to make a golden statue of yourself, Lewis, dating Marnie is the least of your problems. Stop making out in bushes and just be honest ffs. It's not like Lewis has any competition if he's been mayor for over 20 years...

{It’s father’s day here in the UK tomorrow...and I’m low-key just thinking about it being the anniversary of the day Alex killed his host dad...cause...y’know...what better day to fatally poison your father than on the day you’re supposed to appreciate him the most? 😂}

#Caroline: What do you mean you're throwing a party YOU HATE PARTIES #Alex: Oh I know but this one's important #Caroline: Why? Are you going to suddenly come out as gay? #Alex: NO...! #Caroline: Are you going to tell everyone you're becoming a father? #Alex: NO - wait why did you say gay first... #Caroline: ... *shrug* #Alex: Bring confetti #Caroline: What the hell is going on with you you're acting really weird #Alex: Oh I'm just very happy #Caroline: ... *touches his forehead* Are you sick??? #Alex: I must be in some sense of the word #Caroline: ...Right okay that's it we're not having a party #Alex: BUT CAROLINE! #Caroline: NO! Go to bed Alexsander! #Alex: >:C #Caroline: I'll bring you up some tea #Alex: :) #Caroline: A party...honestly I've never heard so much shit in all my life...probably a stabbing party or something...

Boss | T.H

Chapter 2

pairing: mob!tom x reader

warnings: fluff ending!, nothing else really

word count: 685 words

summery: you wake up and see your boss downstairs, what will happen when you eavesdrop and bring him tea?

------------------------------------------------

you had just woken up from a very well deserved nights sleep, i need tea, you had thought to yourself. you pushed back your y/f/c bed sheets and grabbed your dressing gown off of your dresser and turned the knob on your door.

You heard an unusual voice downstairs, so continued your journey down the stairs. As you reached the bottom of the stairs you bolted back up about half way. why was he here? more importantly why was he having a conversation with Caroline?

Tom Holland

Why was your boss sat in your living room taking with your roommate? well you had to go downstairs at some point so you peacefully walked down the stairs ignoring his stares from the couch.

You got to the kitchen and put the kettle on to boil. It was only the nice thing to go and ask if both of them wanted a cup too.

'' good morning Caroline... and Mr Holland, uhh... would you like a cuppa?'' you asked nervously not really sure how to ask if your boss would like a cup of tea, when you had bed head and all.

'' oh, y/n i didn't know you were awake'' lie '' no thankyou, Tom?'' she addressed him by his first name? why?

You had too many questions it was all so strange.

'' yes please, darling, two sugars'' Tom replied

you didn't reply you just nodded and went on to the kitchen to make the two cups of tea.

but you couldn't help but think about why your boss was in your house. but you still made the tea putting in the tea bags, then sugar, then stirred, added milk and took out the tea bag. you took the two cups and went to go into the living room, and heard the two others conversing. You knew you probably shouldn't but you just had to know what they were saying, you put your ear to the door and listened carefully:

'i don't know Caroline, i mean she's hot but i have my eye on someone else' tom said. 'but Tom you need to get out there i mean, just ask her out or the girl you have a eye on haha' of course Caroline was trying to be the cupid in this situation. 'fine ill ask the girl I've been keeping my eye on' he laughed gosh his laugh was cute- no y/n snap out of it.

you accidentally knocked on the door before Tom got to the bit in his story where he told you who the girl he had his eye on for a while, and its hard to say but you were disappointed.

Tom was startled, but you just walked in without a doubt in the world hoping he didn't realise that you were eavesdropping. Who were yo kidding he was the most known mafia boss in London, of course he knew that you were eavesdropping.

Tom saw you walking in and sat up a little straighter. Caroline didn't do anything she just sat there. It was almost as if Tom was nervous.

''here you are Mr. Holland'' you said politely as you handed him his tea, saying a small 'thankyou' he looked at you and you turned around to start your journey back upstairs to sit in your bedroom and try to piece this altogether. he started ''you can call me Tom if were not at work, darling'' there it was again, that damn nickname.

''well, okay then, Tom, I'm going to go upstairs and watch Netflix'' you said and again tried to walk up the stairs but again he stopped you.

''what are you watching at the moment'' he asked and sounded actually genuine which was surprising.

''uh, the vampire dia-'' but before you could finish, '' i love that show I'll join you!'' and he was excited?

''uhh sure'' and you agreed. which led to this, Tom Holland, your mob boss in your bed sat next to you watching the vampire diaries on Netflix.

you looked at Tom and her looked back at you, slowly he stared to lean in...

a/n: HA left you on a cliff-hanger! sorry this is a short one guys. its really just a filler chapter for the next thing that is to come is much bigger!

For those great writing prompts, I've a challenge for you: can you fit 13, 46, 70 and 74 into on fic? Good luck, thanks, and if you'd like to send me some (other than the smut ones because I'll just kill myself cringing) then I'll be happy to oblige! x

Hi Eleanor 💓 I do love a challenge! I hope this is what you wanted!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Don’t leave me…,” he whimpers, fighting his haunting dreams.

Caroline has been awake for ten minutes now, when the shouting began. She hopes he will wake up soon, she so hates to see him like this. They came less frequently now - the nightmares - though Caroline wished the would vanish into whatever Hell they plagued her husband’s mind with.

His eyes flash open and he sits bolt upright. Caroline delicately places a hand on his shivering back. When he doesn’t reject her she begins to trace soothing circles on his shoulder blades. “Hush, my love, it’s alright.” She opens her arms and he sinks comfortably into them. Several silent minutes pass and Dwight’s breathing returns to normal. “Can I kiss you right now?” she whispers.

“Please,” he encourages quietly.

She takes his face in her hands and passionately kisses his lips, as though transferring his suffering. She then gently kisses each cheek, wiping his tears away, and then the beads on his forehead.

As they sink back into the pillows, he places his arm over her body and holds the small of her waist. “This is why I fell in love with you,” he murmurs sincerely against her breast. It both saddens and gladdens him that only he should ever see the true Caroline.

Her heart warms and she strokes his sweat soaked hair. “You mean besides my impressive fortune?” She declares victory as she feels him smile against her chest.

“Besides that,” he confirms, a ghost of a smile on his lips. He yawns widely and snuggles against her body.

“Hold that thought, my love, I shall be back in a moment,” she says, rising from the bed, gently placing his head on the pillow. She places a dim candle into a holder and tiptoes out of the room, leaving Dwight confused at her sudden departure.

Twenty minutes later, she returns with a small tray and a proud smile on her face. She places it gently on the bed.

“You remembered!” he exclaims in astonishment as he examines the carefully diluted opium, the fresh pot of tea and the lavender essence.

She looks at him. “Of course I remembered!” she sniffs indignantly.

He smiles at her reaction and blows on his hot cup of tea to cool it down. “Perhaps I should bring you on calls with me,” he brings the cup to his mouth, “Dr. Enys,” he mocks against the rim.

She nudges him without force, though he does almost spill his tea on the silk bedding. “Hush, take your potion and go to sleep,” she says gently.

He necks the opium tincture and his face contorts in disgust. Caroline smooths the nape of his neck before taking the lavender essence and pouring a few drops on both of their pillows; she doesn’t require it but she enjoys the smell.

In her entire life, Caroline never knew a person who could drink tea as quickly as Dwight, she often wondered how he did not scald his throat. He places the empty tray onto the nightstand and turns towards her.

“Ready to sleep, my love?”

He nods apprehensively. The opium would work, he knew, but he could not shake the fear that the nightmares would come again, and he hated to worry Caroline. “Yes, I think so.”

They sink into the luxurious blankets together, sharing a quick goodnight kiss before Caroline carefully places her head on his chest, internally rejoicing when he does not ask her to move. He begins to play with her curls, twirling and ruffling them has always been a comfort to him. It is also a comfort to Caroline, who falls asleep almost instantly. He focuses on her steady breathing and the soft rhythm of her heart against his body and slowly begins to drift off, all apprehension gone.
