Imagine: Jack Sparrow and James Norrington getting jealous of you
Fandom: Pirates of the Caribbean
Suggested by anon [x] – I really hope that this imagine is at least close to what you had in mind and that you like it! And if you have any other suggestions, my inbox is always open. 😊
You're walking down a pier in the Port Royal harbour, trying to clear your mind. Everyone's been waiting for James Norrington to be promoted to Commodore for a while now and today, on a day of the official ceremony, the area is buzzing with excitement.
Being a part of James's immediate circle, you should feel that excitement too. Deep in your heart you certainly do. But at the same time you can't help but wonder how your life would've gone if you didn't abandon your life at sea. Your life as a pirate...
Lost in your thoughts, you don't realise you're not alone anymore until you feel a tap on your shoulder, forcing you to turn around only to see the soon-to-be Commodore next to you.
"Is something bothering you, Y/N?" Norrington says, smiling softly.
"Oh, it's... nothing, James. Nothing's bothering me. I was just thinking about... my past."
His smile immediately fades away, but he manages to keep his composure as he tells you:
"You don't have to worry about your past. Nobody around knows that you were a pirate except me, and I intend on keeping your secret safe, just as I promised."
"Thank you. But... you know who was my captain during my time as a pirate, right?"
A solemn expression crosses his face before he says:
"Yes. Yes, I know. And it doesn't change a thing."
Deep down you know it changes a lot, but neither of you is going to admit it. But even though his pride must be hurt, you appreciate that James is steady in his promise.
"I'm glad. If you could give me one more minute alone though. I'll join you soon."
"Of course."
He bows to you slightly and walks away. You wait for Norrington to be gone from your sight before reluctantly following him.
On your way out of the harbour you pass a familiar figure. It takes you a second to realise where you know the person from, but once you do, you can't help but turn around and call out:
"Jack!"
"Oh. So it really is you, Y/N," Jack Sparrow says, walking back to you. "Didn't expect to see you around, sweetie."
"As if it wasn't where you dropped me off last time we saw each other," you respond.
"Okay, so maybe I knew I'd find you here. But not in the company of an officer of the Royal Navy, for sure."
"Oh, Norrington? He's just a..." You stop for a second when you notice that Jack's usual sly smile is now gone. "Wait... are you jealous?"
"What, me? Jealous? Of some officer? Never." Only when you raise an eyebrow at him, he admits: "Okay. I might be just a little jealous. But if this is how you live now..."
"Yes. I believe it is."
"...then I won't try to change your mind."
Something in your heart stings, as if you wanted him to try. You almost ask him to, but instead you catch yourself saying:
"Thank you. I still hope you'll stick around; Norrington is promoted to Commodore today, it's a chance to have some fun."
"You should stop tempting me, Y/N. A chance to have a good time and be in your presence? I reckon I shall stick around."
Jack sends you a smile before you part ways. And that smile is how you know he's back to his usual self and besides the fun, you can definitely expect some trouble.

Word Count: 1.3k+ words
A/N: I really want to write a lengthy oneshot for Jason but I don't know if I capture him well enough. I don't get many DC requests but I love them so much!!
Picture from Pinterest (WFA Jason >>>)
Masterlist | DC/Jason Todd Masterlist | Request Info
Tumblr media
Jason Todd leaves, it’s what he does. Sometimes there are warnings, direct and indirect, but other nights he leaves while you sleep or simply doesn’t come home when he should. That’s who he is, what he does. There is more to Jason than meets the eye; he isn’t just Jason, Red Hood, or Bruce Wayne’s dead and nearly forgotten son. One piece of Jason makes him whole: being your husband brings him back, every single time. Jason leaves, but the time you spend alone is spent in confidence that he will come back to you, even if he’s broken and crawling.
While Jason is in Blüdhaven helping his brothers with a mission that Bruce doesn’t know about, you spend the time alone missing him. He hates leaving you, but you understand. That doesn’t mean, however, that you just wait for him to come home. Being married is supposed a 50/50 arrangement, yet you have given everything to Jason and there is not a single thing you wouldn’t do for him.
Tonight, nearly 96 hours after you last saw Jason, you make yourself comfortable with one of his books. The pages are yellowed from use, and highlights and notes fill the margins and the empty pages. Each word reminds you of Jason, and though you miss him, you refuse to look at his empty side of the bed. In the time since he left, promising to come back to you with a kiss and a tap to your wedding ring, you have read several of his books, cooked his favorite meal, and baked his favorite goodies. The distractions you created are all centered around Jason because despite what you tell yourself about needing to think about other things, Jason Todd takes up every single one of your thoughts. He’s captivating, and you never want to escape him.
Your phone beeps as you finish a page of Frankenstein. After taking a calming breath, you read the message from Barbara.
The bats are Gotham-bound.
The message makes you smile, and you rise from the bed to prepare for Jason’s return. He has come home without a scratch, drenched in blood, and everything in between. In sickness and health, you vowed, and you plan to keep it. With his favorite food already prepared and water heating in the kettle on the stove, you sit on the couch and wait for his entrance. The front door is behind you, and you watch as the Red Hood lands on your fire escape and expertly navigates into your home. His home.
The couch is empty by the time he turns from the now-closed window, and your arms loop around his waist as he moves. Jason chuckles at your immediate attention and pulls his helmet off.
“Miss me?” he asks.
You can hear his smile in his voice, and as Jason’s arms wrap around you, you sigh and release every fear and worry that had been pushed into the back of your mind.
“I need to shower,” Jason says, though he doesn’t move his hands from your back. “Blüdhaven is gross.”
“And Gotham is known for its cleanliness,” you argue.
“Get off,” Jason grumbles.
He raises his hands to your shoulders and easily pushes you back. You look at him as you raise your hands to hold his wrists. Jason’s gaze is soft and his touch is softer.
“Ten minutes,” he requests quietly.
“Someone needs pampering,” you tease. “Take your time. There’s food and tea if you want any.”
“Just wan’ you,” he murmurs.
Jason leans in and kisses your forehead quickly. He avoids your hands as you reach out for him. You laugh as he walks away, and the sound brings Jason home. He’s physically home, yes, but he is only home when you are completely and wholly with him.
The water echoes through the apartment as Jason enters the shower, and you prepare two mugs of tea before carrying them into the bedroom. You would wait forever for Jason, but as you lean back and close your eyes, content listening to him move through your shared home, you know that you’ll never have to wait long.
When Jason enters the bedroom clad in a pair of Wonder Woman sweatpants and smiles at you, everything seems better. The darkest Gotham day can’t cast a shadow on what you and Jason have. Before Jason left, he told you all you needed to know about the mission, and you won’t bring it up again. If he wants to talk about it, he will, and you’ll listen.
You raise the blanket as Jason approaches the side of the bed. He doesn’t hesitate to join you and pull you closer. After looping your arms over his shoulders, you push your fingers into Jason’s wet curls and twist them gently around your fingers. His white streak is closest to you, yet you concentrate your attention elsewhere to keep your eyes locked on his.
“You read it again, didn’t you?” Jason asks.
His eyes threaten to flutter closed, but he forces them open to talk to you.
“Read what?” you whisper.
“Tell me what I missed,” he requests.
You know he can see his books piled on your nightstand, but you enjoy the smile he gives you when you pretend not to know what he’s talking about. Jason pulls your hands away from his hair, opting to hold you against his side. You lay a hand over his heart and gently trace the bottom of a scar. You know his scars by heart, and each story behind them is ingrained in your memory.
“Not much,” you answer after a moment.
“Did you do anything? Because everything you do is important, and I want to hear about it,” Jason argues.
You lean closer and spread your fingers flat against his skin. His heart thrums steadily beneath your hand, and you think your heart beats in time with his.
“Maybe you just married me for the post-mission cuddles,” you say.
“Or maybe I just married you because I love you. I love you for accepting all of me and loving the parts that I don’t let anyone see.”
“Jason,” you hum.
“You didn’t tell me about what I missed,” he replies.
The first raindrop hits the window, and Jason is reminded that he’s back in Gotham. He’d move to Metropolis and listen to Clark as long as you were by his side, but being in your arms in his home town is a feeling unlike any other.
“I’ll take it you didn’t go to the manor,” you deflect.
“Why would I when I have a beautiful wife waiting at home for me and four days to make up for? Lost time with you will always be more important than Bruce.”
You sigh before you begin telling him about what you did. There isn’t much to tell. You read one of his books, cleaned, cooked, baked, and read another book.
“You baked?” Jason interrupts. “And didn’t bring it up until now?”
“I thought time with me was more important.”
Jason furrows his brows as he turns, pulling you to lay on top of him. When you first started dating, Jason was hesitant to initiate any sort of physical touch. Not long before, he had been Gotham’s most-feared crime lord and the rage caused by the pit was still present. Now, there is nothing to stop Jason from touching you: no fear of hurting you, no concern of scaring you away, and no doubt that you won’t love him once you see his darkest secrets. Jason’s scars, his past, and his nightly activities make him the man you love, and you love those parts of him, not the other way around.
As you cuddle with the man who recently scared human traffickers into turning themselves in to the authorities rather than running into him again, you simply enjoy being together. Your husband Jason and Red Hood Jason aren’t the same, yet you love them both equally.
“Do you really want to make up for lost time?” you ask over the rain.
Jason thinks your voice is more soothing and melodic than any rainstorm could dream of being. He pries his eyes open to answer, “Every second of it.”
You nod and lay your head against his chest. With your hearts pressed to one another and your fingers intertwined with Jason’s, you know that you are loved, and Jason knows you will always be here when he comes home.
You’re nearly asleep when you mumble, “’S a lotta time.”
Jason smiles but doesn’t move because he doesn’t want to disturb you. “Never enough time with you,” he whispers against your temple.

I absolutely adore Crowey and Hanna theyre the sweetest! Could you please tell us more about them? Like how did they end up together, was it accidental child acquisition or something else?
Thank you for the ask!! Tbh i just started going feral about my new little au these last few days so nothing is set in stone yet, but here's my current write-up for how it came about that I'm using for art inspo How post-s2 Crowley ended up with an unhinged Daughter
I'm thinking Hanna is a startlingly young but frequent Group Home (or whatever the UK version of a Group Home is) runaway, and during one of her bolts she stumbles across a spitefully morose Crowley sprawled in the grass at a park telling his tales of woe to some ducks or something. Hanna is pretty precocious and also likes Crowley's red hair and the odd way he sits and she has a favorite duck at that particular spot anyway. one which, as she informs crowley, is a better listener than the big brown one with the mean look about him who once chased her half way to the next bench over.
I imagine Crowley will aim for aloof and miss because he's always been helplessly charmed by weird kids, and will ask why the duck was chasing her in the first place. Hanna'll say it must not have liked her mushroom story, to which Crowley will give an "oh?" and Hanna will plop herself down next to our demon and launch into a passionate rant about her favorite fungi. At some point much later a social worker (or again, whatever the UK version of a social worker is sorry im from the States) will track her down (maybe the park is a frequent spot for her?) and drag her back to the group home. But as it happens the next few times she runs off she bumps into Crowley as well, be it by dumb luck or divine intervention who knows. They'll form a camaraderie and get up to some mischief before she's found again. I imagine she catches on to the demon thing pretty quick (she's as bright as she is nosy and Crowley isn't particularly subtle) and is ecstatic to see Crowley's eyes for the first time (before asking why he has eyelids and if he needs to blink). Eventually he'll ask once why she runs away, and she'll tell him the families that come to adopt kids think she's too odd, too underfoot, that she asks too many questions. so instead of waiting around to be left behind she just leaves. Its not so scary that way, she says. And suffice to say Crowley ends up a little attached and perhaps a little fond and perhaps doesn't want to have to watch the social worker drag this lonely kid away again. So he says if she wants she could maybe stick around. They can be something of a team, maybe. And he won't mind that she's odd, or underfoot, or that she asks so many questions. And that'd be that! Demon hand-wavey adoption goes through without a hitch, and soon Crowley's got a car seat in the Bentley and a tiny green step stool by his plants and a kid on his hip💕 So in short to answer your ask, it was not so much an accidental child acquisition as it was a rather intentional child acquisition

For you, I learn to love again
strawberries, flowers playground, fireworks
sapphire and quartz gaze, mere inches shy;
fingers entwined in her long, honey blonde love's whisper heard across her rose velvet locks.
too soon, not forever yet but they pull away from each other, against each other like a magnet separates from its metal.
still, time would freeze for none but them,
parted mouths, swallowed words its remnant scent in suspended breaths faces of longing vocal cords humming in cadence of wild, chained hearts.
as moon watches, air gets sticky with hushed love, and
an unspoken sentence remains in the silence of shared glances.

from kathleen hanna's 1993 zine my life with evan dando, pop star. (via)
I fell in love with Evan because it seemed like the worst thing i could do at the time. I fell in love with Evan because it was totally uncool and pathetic which is how i felt inside. I fell in love with Evan because the band i am in started getting all this weird attention and i felt like he was the only one who would understand. I fell in love with Evan because sometimes i wish i was a boy and that the worst thing that ever happened to me was having too many girls like me. I fell in love with Evan because i wanted him to die and thought if i could get him to love me i would show him what a broken heart really was. I fell in love with Evan because he is a total slut and everyone thinks its very cute, unlike when i was in jr hi and high school and the word "slut" followed me everywhere at arms length. I fell in love with Evan because i don't do drugs and so i need other destructive pasttimes. I fell in love with Evan because i can't deal with real boys barely at all and yet am wildly attracted attracted their flat chests and strait hips (sometimes) Evan is my perfect boyfriend because i am allowed to invent him all by myself.

When I'm Alone with You - Chapter 16
Rating: Gen
Warnings: None
Word Count: 3k
Summary: Silas finally introduces Copia to Hanna.
Also Read on AO3
Hanna looked around the vast ministry building as she walked beside Silas.
“I know you said before that this place was big, but that was an understatement. This place is huge.” Hanna’s voice echoed slightly.
She looked up at the tall ceilings, eyes widening as she admired the beautiful artwork of the stained glass windows.
Silas chuckled shortly. “Yeah, you’ll get used to it. Thanks for coming to visit, by the way.”
Hanna smiled as she looked at him. “Of course, you just moved in. Think of it like… a housewarming party. Plus, you’ll finally introduce me to your work best friend.”
“It’s starting to sound like that’s the only reason you wanted to visit.” He joked.
“I have to see who I’m competing with for the title of your best friend.” She joked back, playfully nudging him with her elbow.
“You know that’s not going to happen.” Silas lightly scoffed.
“Oh, I’m aware.” She thought.
“Where is he, anyway?” Hanna’s brows knitted in confusion.
“He had a bit of work left to finish and then we can go out for lunch together. It’ll be good for y’all to meet finally.” Silas explained.
“Y’all.” Hanna teased, slightly putting on a fake southern accent. “You know you haven’t lived in Texas since you were a teenager, right?”
“Well, it’s not something that just… goes away?” Silas shrugged. “Är detta bättre?” (is this better?)
“Mycket bättre.” She teased. (much better)
“Texas mat är bättre.” He added. (Texas food is better)
Hanna faked a dramatic gasp while Silas laughed to himself. She rolled her eyes and shook her head.
“Anyway… while we are waiting, do you want a tour?” He asked.
“Your room, right? Because I’m not sure we have the time for all of this, no offense, but this place seems like a maze.” She winced.
“Yeah, it’s a maze at first. You learn the map in your head, eventually. I meant my room,” Silas replied.
“Okay, good.”
“It’s this way.” He gestured to one of the winding hallways. “And then you take a turn here.”
She followed him, and they caught up on stuff in both of their lives. Now that Silas wasn’t living as close to Hanna, it was different. It wasn’t a drastic change, but it still altered some of their usual daily routines. They were grateful to still have the option of texting and calling.
Hanna couldn’t help but notice someone else walking down the same hallway, going the opposite way. She appeared to be a nun of sorts, keeping her hands folded in front of her. The woman reached up to move the brown bangs out of her eyes.
“You okay?” Silas asked. He furrowed his brows when her steps faltered.
“What? Oh, um, yeah.” She fidgeted with her hands. “Um… who is that?” She whispered, glancing at the woman walking away.
Silas followed her gaze. “Oh, her? She’s one of the Sisters of Sin. They’re basically the nuns here.”
“Oh, okay…” She murmured.
“Here it is.” He smiled, opening his door.
She followed him in, looking around to see if anything had changed. “Oh, it’s like your old place.”
“That’s good… right?” Silas asked.
“Yeah, I was worried it would be completely different.”
“Hanna, I work as a janitor in an unholy church. Do you think I could afford to buy all new furniture and decorations?” He spoke in a deadpan tone.
She struggled to keep her expression neutral before losing it to a snicker, quietly chuckling. “No… but I thought you said the pay was fairly good.”
“Just because the pay is good does not mean I am by any means rich,”
“Yeah… I feel that.” She sighed.
“There’s no need to replace it all anyway. That wouldn’t be practical and I like the familiarity.” He added.
Hanna noticed a certain food and water bowl on the tile floor near the kitchen/dining area. “Speaking of familiar…” A smile crept onto her face. “Blizzard!”
The grey and white dog came trotting into the room at the sound of his name. He wagged his tail nonstop when he saw her.
“Blizzard! Oh, it’s so good to see you!” She crouched down and began to pet him, talking sweetly about how much she’d missed him.
Silas smiled at the sight. “I’d just taken him out for a walk before you came. He was sleeping on my bed afterward, well, until you woke him up.”
Hanna looked up at him, smiling sheepishly. “Sorry…”
“No, no, it’s fine. He’s been missing you.”
She looked back down at Blizzard, cooing at him. “Aw, did you miss me? Sweet boy.”
Once Blizzard had (surprisingly) enough pets, he hopped up on Silas’ couch and curled up in the corner, silently watching the two humans.
“It’s been odd not seeing him every day for sure.” She lightly frowned, taking a seat in one of the chairs.
Silas did the same, sitting down on the couch. He reached over to pet Blizzard before leaving him be. The dog was already falling asleep again.
He gave her a sympathetic look. “Yeah… but now you have way more time to focus on getting your own business started.”
“That’s true. Speaking of that, I’ve already started the process of finding an actual location!” She grinned.
“That’s great! I thought you were going to do it out of your apartment, though?” He asked.
“Well… I’m not completely saying no to that idea. I want to keep my options open.” Hanna shrugged.
“Hm, that makes sense. I really hope it’ll work out,”
“Yeah, me too.” She took a deep breath. “Anyway, how’s he been settling in?” She pointed to a sleeping Blizzard.
“Oh, he’s been doing pretty well. I was a little worried before the move, but he’s still eating normally. I think he really likes it here. The Ministry grounds are big, so he’s been having fun exploring when I take him out on walks.” Silas explained.
“That’s good to hear,” she said.
Silas looked up, hearing a knock at the door. “Oh, that’s probably Copia.”
Blizzard opened his eyes, raising his ears, but decided to stay on the couch. He let out a big sigh, already used to hearing lots of knocks recently.
“Finally, I’m starving!” Hanna exaggerated, faking a dramatic sigh and causing Silas to chuckle.
He opened the door and was met with the familiar Cardinal, smiling. Silas felt something warm bloom in his chest but decided to ignore it. “Hey, come in,”
“I just had to finish up some paperwork and send it to a higher-up… but I’m finished with work for now,” Copia explained, walking into his room.
Hanna stood up from her seat.
“Copia, this is Hanna. Hanna, this is Copia,” Silas introduced them.
“It’s nice to meet you, Hanna.” He held out his hand, and she shook it.
“Yeah, nice to meet you, too. Silas has told me a lot about you.” She smiled.
“Really?” Copia raised a brow.
Silas could feel his face heat up and he glanced away, sticking his hands in the pockets of his jeans and shrugging. “I wouldn’t say a lot…”
Hanna refrained from rolling her eyes. “You know what I mean…”
“Anyway.” He cleared his throat. “Is everyone ready for lunch?”
“Oh, yes. What were you thinking?” Copia asked.
“There’s this cafe place that opened nearby recently. I looked at the menu and thought it sounded good. Sandwiches, soups, things like that. If that’s alright with you guys?”
“I’ve been wanting to check out that place. Heard good things,” Hanna commented.
“Sounds good to me,” Copia agreed.
“Alright, great. So… how do we want to do this? Drive there separately? Or a car-pool situation…?” Silas asked.
“We could take one of the Ministry’s cars,” he suggested.
“Please don’t be like a church van situation…” Hanna thought, hoping her apprehension didn’t show on her face.
“Is that allowed?” Silas frowned slightly.
“Seeing as I’m in charge currently, mostly, I don’t see why not.” Copia shrugged.
“Oh, okay, cool. Let me get Blizzard in his house and then we can go.” He opened a box of dog treats that was on the counter and got a biscuit out.
“I thought Blizzard could free roam while you’re out?” Hanna pointed out.
“It’s a temporary situation until he gets more used to the new place. I don’t want anything happening to him or my room while I’m gone.” Silas explained, calling Blizzard over with the treat.
Copia smiled and waved at the dog while Silas led him to his crate. Blizzard listened and went inside, curling up on his pillow and blanket; chewing on the treat Silas gave him.
Silas went to wash his hands and dry them before grabbing his phone, keys, and wallet. “Alright, we can go now.”
---
“Do we want to take the new one?” Copia smiled and held up the keys. “It’s… um, a replacement for the one that Sister crashed…” He kicked loose gravel.
“Oh, hey, it’s an actual car… it’s nice.” Hanna raised her brows. “Wait, crashed?”
“What were you expecting? As for that, it’s a long story…” Silas’ lips pressed into a thin line.
She opened her mouth to speak before closing it, shaking her head. “Never mind. Doesn’t matter. I’ll sit in the back, you can sit up in the front with Copia.”
“You sure you’re alright sitting in the back by yourself?” He asked.
“Yeah, no worries.” She smiled.
Copia unlocked the car, and they got in. After the Cardinal made sure everyone had clipped in their seatbelts, he started the car and they began to head out. As expected, Silas sat up in the front next to Copia, giving him directions from his phone to the restaurant. Hanna kept her gaze focused on the window for the most part, chiming into conversations with them.
She smiled to herself when she noticed how carefree Silas was acting around Copia; occasionally chuckling at his jokes. She could sense it wasn’t just a polite act, it looked genuine; natural.
Once they arrived, Copia put the car in park and they stepped out, squinting from the bright sky. Silas held the door open for both of them and they walked inside, immediately being hit with the scent of coffee brewing and delicious food cooking. Silas pointed to a table near a corner and they each sat down.
“I was worried it might be full, but it looks like it’s just us and a couple of other people,” Silas said, quietly sighing in relief.
“It’s a nice break from the usual packed lunch room of the Ministry.” Copia smiled.
“At least you’re not covered in dog fur and stuff on your lunch breaks.” Hanna half-joked.
“Pretty sure Blizzard fills that fur quota for me.” He chuckled.
“Even I end up getting his fur on my clothes when I visit!” Copia pointed out. “I don’t really mind that much… he’s a very sweet dog.”
“Two words: lint-roller,” Hanna said. “Anyway, after we’re finished deciding what we want, I can go up and order it all for us, if you two would like.”
“Oh, really? Thanks.” Silas smiled.
“'Course, I know it can be difficult to go up and order,”
They pointed out what they wanted while Hanna wrote it down on the notes app on her phone. Easier than just remembering it all. Silas gave her a grateful look before she got out of her chair and left to order.
“It’s nice that Hanna offered to order for us,” Copia said.
“Yeah, it’s not that I can’t, it’s just… I don’t know.” He sighed.
“I get it. Though at least you’d probably fit in better. When you’re an Italian Cardinal here, you tend to… eh, stick out.”
“Maybe if you learned more Swedish.” Silas lightly teased.
“I know, I’m working on it.” He chuckled.
They both looked up as Hanna returned to their table.
“And now we wait,” she said, sitting back down.
“So, Hanna, Silas mentioned you work as a dog groomer…?” Copia asked, trying to start a conversation.
“Yes, I work at that one place you know, that’s downtown? Actually, I don’t know how you'd know, but anyway, I want to open my own place, eventually.” She explained.
“Oh, interesting. Did you always want to work in that business?”
“Well, I’ve always loved animals and dogs specifically, so I knew I wanted to work a job involving that, but I didn’t always know what kind of job,” she answered.
“When we were kids, she thought she wanted to be a vet, but then realized she couldn’t take the emotional toll,” Silas added.
“You wouldn’t be able to either.” She gave Silas a look.
“Oh, that would be tough… I already get anxious taking my rats to their check-ups.” He fidgeted with his hands.
“Oh, that’s right! Silas told me you had pet rats.” Her eyes lit up.
“Yes, I have three little sweethearts named Alessa, Bella, and Clara.” Copia beamed, talking about them as if they were his children.
Silas pulled out his phone and found a picture of them he had taken, showing it to her. Copia pointed out each one in the picture.
“They’re adorable. I honestly don’t have much experience with pet rats…” Hanna chuckled sheepishly.
“I get that they’re not for everyone. They take a lot of work, but it’s worth it.” Copia sighed.
“They love to give him a heart attack by jumping off high things. They think they’re little cats I guess.” Silas joked.
“It’s not funny, it’s scary!” Copia exclaimed before ultimately losing his serious expression. “Okay… I guess it’s a little funny…”
Hanna turned her head when she heard her name being called. “Oh, looks like our order is ready.” She left the table to get it.
“So… overall thoughts?” Silas asked in a hushed tone.
“I wish we could’ve done this sooner. Hanna is great. I can see why you two have been friends for so long.” Copia matched his tone and smiled.
Hanna came back with the tray of food and set it down in the middle of the table.
“Thanks for getting it, Hanna.” Copia gave her a polite nod.
“You’re lucky I came back and didn’t just decide to eat it all myself.” She kidded and sat down again.
Everyone took their plate and drink and began to eat, occasionally talking.
“So, you've known each other since you were kids, right?” Copia asked.
“Yep, practically grew up together like siblings, except for the long distances when we were apart, but that hasn’t been a problem in a long time,” Hanna explained.
“We met in a library and bonded over the Moomins. We used to joke that we were like Little My and Snufkin,” Silas added. “Uh… remind me to explain Moomins to you later.”
“Got it.” He smiled. “I understand the whole feeling like siblings bond. I had that with my brother figures growing up…” He glanced away for a second.
“Oh, nice,” she said. “What was it like growing up in a… ministry environment?”
“Um… well, it was interesting. I lived in the Ministry location in Italy for most of my life, then was placed here. Spent a lot of time reading in the library or exploring the building. There was always something to find.”
“Wow… I definitely can’t imagine living somewhere that big. I would’ve run around constantly.” Her eyes widened.
“Hanna, you did that anyway.” Silas pointed out.
“True. It used to drive my parents crazy.” She had a sheepish grin.
“Sometimes the Sisters would get onto my brothers and I about running around…” Copia fought the urge to chuckle. His smile slipped for a moment when he thought about them.
“Hey, you okay?” Silas asked, mild concern showing on his face.
Copia snapped out of it. “Yes, I’m just a bit tired, is all. Don’t worry.” He gave him a reassuring smile.
“I am too.” Hanna sighed. “There was this one dog at work, big fluffy guy, high energy. It was hard keeping him in the bath... but he looked very cute after he’d been cleaned and gotten his fur trimmed.” She had a small smile on her face.
“Wow… and here I thought that doing paperwork was hard.” Copia slightly joked.
“Oh, no, it is hard. Reading all of that stuff gets so confusing.” Her face scrunched up.
“You tend to get used to it.” He shrugged.
“Which is heavier? The stacks of papers you have to carry, or the dogs that Hanna wrangles into baths and up onto the grooming tables?” Silas asked rhetorically.
“To be fair, the papers can’t bite me.”
Hanna laughed, causing them to chuckle as well.
---
After their meal, they returned to the Ministry. Hanna said her goodbyes to them, hugging Silas and shaking Copia’s hand again. She didn’t forget to say goodbye to Blizzard as well, petting him briefly before leaving.
Copia had a little bit of time left before he had to start on his work again and decided to spend it sitting on Silas’ couch; talking with him while occasionally petting Blizzard, who lay curled up next to him.
“I thought that went well.” He had a small smile on his face. “Perhaps we could do it again soon.”
“Oh, of course. I’m so glad you and Hanna get along. Now I don’t have to worry about if my two best friends wouldn't like each other.” Silas sighed in relief.
“Was it a serious worry?” He tilted his head, lightly frowning.
“Not really. Hanna gets along with lots of people. It’s just one of those nerve things, you know.” He rested his face in the palm of his hand.
“Yeah, I understand. Again, thanks for inviting me to lunch with you two. Maybe at some point, I could even bring along some of the ghouls.” Copia thought aloud.
“Do they… need to eat?” He raised a brow.
“No, but they like the taste. Anyway, I’m sure they’d appreciate the gesture.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.” Silas nodded.
“I should probably get back to work… I enjoyed lunch.” Copia smiled.
Silas could’ve sworn he felt fluttery inside, or at the very least, his heartbeat quickened. “Yeah… I did too.” He smiled back.

aria montgomery deserved better 2kforever like. in these first two seasons, her relationship with ezra is hard to watch (in more ways than one! i sometimes find myself rooting for them not to get caught, largely because i like and have sympathy for aria but also because the actors do genuinely have good chemistry. but then i remember how fucked up it is! that’s why the romanticization of this relationship was so dangerous!) - anyway. it was hard to watch and messy but she also had like. other things in her story that at least made her feel like a more fleshed out character. and i always see people saying things about how she’s not as kind as she acts like but she literally shows so much empathy to. most people. and her role as a psuedo caretaker/fixer in her family is so nuanced and interesting and informs a lot of how she interacts with ezra (she feels like she’s been forced into a more adult role, so she courts this adult ‘romance’. ugh.) and it legitimately could have been a nuanced and interesting story about family dynamics and the pressure on teenage girls in their roles in family and how that can be connected to grooming if it had been written that way but!!!!
anyway her story just becomes more and more entangled with Only Being About Ezra from what i remember. which is one of the reasons people kept theorizing about her being A but. i just see it as isolation (not total, she is obviously still very close with her friends, but there is a sort of disconnect.) and then they get MARRIED????? she deserved better for real.

Imagine: hitchhiking with Eddie Munson to a metal concert
Fandom: Stranger Things
"For fuck's sake!" you hear Eddie yell from the side of the road as another car passes him by. "Nobody takes hitchhikers these days."
"Are you surprised?" you ask, crushing a can of coke you've just emptied as you walk up to him. "Look at us. We're not just hitchhikers, we're dirty metalheads."
"Yeah, I know. And I wouldn't mind it, but it's fucking freezing, man!"
You laugh under your breath. You tried so many times to explain to Eddie that hitchhiking to a concert right at the beginning of January is not the best idea, but he was more stubborn than you were convincing. That's how you ended up on the side of that road, rather freezing to death alongside Eddie than letting him do stupid things on his own.
You almost open your mouth to let out a snarky I told you so, when a car approaches you and stops just where you stand. Inside you can see two guys, maybe in their early 20s, one behind the wheel and one in the passenger seat, both of them looking eerily similar to Eddie.
"Hey! Where do you wanna get?" asks the guy driving the car after rolling down his window.
"To Cincinnati. Are you heading in that direction?" you ask.
"We're going right to Cincinnati, baby! We'd rather die than miss that Iron Maiden concert," says the other guy.
"No shit! We're trying to make it to that concert too!" Eddie exclaims.
"Seriously? Jump in then!"
You and Eddie exchange excited smiles as he opens the door of the car and you stumble into the back seat. Hitchhiking may be hard sometimes, but this is your lucky day.

We've Got a Problem
Requested Here!
Pairing: Tim Bradford x fem!fiancée!reader
Summary: When you get arrested on Tim's day off, you have to call someone to get you out of jail. Tim doesn't answer when you call, but when he finds out what happened, he makes it a bigger problem.
Warnings: grumpy!Tim, fluff, mentions of homicide and drug trafficking; reader doesn't commit any crimes, so misunderstanding?
Word Count: 1.1k+ words
Picture from Pinterest
Tumblr media
You can't decide what's funnier: that you are in police custody, that the arresting officers refused to believe that you are Tim Bradford's significant other, or that Tim isn't answering his phone.
When you switch tactics to call Wesley Evers instead of Tim, you decide that the last option is the funniest part of this ordeal.
"Hey," Wesley answers.
"This isn't a personal call," you begin with a chuckle. "Would you believe me if I said I'm currently being detained at LAPD Mid-Wilshire division on suspicion of a triple homicide and drug possession?"
"I really hope for Tim's sake you're joking."
"I'm not. I need a lawyer, Wesley. But I also need to ask you to find Tim to get me out. No one here will believe that he's my fiancé and he's not answering my calls."
"Can't imagine why they're so sure he's single. I'll get him down there and ask for the evidence. We'll get this thrown out, don't worry."
"I'll stop worrying when I'm out of here. Thank you, Wesley."
“Don’t hang up, I’m patching Tim in.”
“What do you want, Wesley?” Tim asks when the line connects.
“I want to know why you answer for him but not for me,” you interject.
Tim says your name before asking, “Where are you?”
“Jail,” you and Wesley answer together.
“What? Which station?”
“That’s your question?” Wesley replies. "Not what she did?"
“Your station,” you answer. “And I’d like to go home.”
“I’m on my way. Wesley, talk to me.”
“They’ve got her on suspicion of homicide and drug trafficking. Angela sent me part of the case file and it seems like you fit the physical description of the suspect, but that’s it. I have no doubt we can get this thrown out by the end of the day.”
“Tim, I’m sorry,” you offer. “I know it’s your day off.”
“At least it’s a good story,” he grumbles.
“Tim, I may have told a few cops that I’m your fiancée. They didn’t believe me, but I- I’m sorry for telling them.”
“Fantastic. I’m hanging up, I’ll be inside in a minute.”
“How mad is he really?” Wesley asks.
“I don’t think I want to know. Maybe I should’ve just asked you to come.”
“Good luck.”
✯✯✯✯✯
Tim yells your name when he walks into the holding area. He looks at you as you stand, walking to the cell door as another officer unlocks it.
“I’m really sorry,” you whisper as you step out.
“Later,” Tim answers, gesturing for you to follow him.
You walk behind Tim and the officer, waiting by Tim’s side as he completes paperwork.
“And what’s your relationship?” the officer behind the desk asks.
“I’m her fiancé,” Tim answers.
The officer raises his eyebrows but nods as he slides a paper to Tim. Tim carries the paper in one hand, raising his other arm to direct you into a nearby office.
“Sergeant Grey, a word?” Tim asks.
“Sure. Who’s your friend?”
You say your name, shaking Sergeant Grey’s hand.
“My fiancée. Celina and Nolan just booked her on suspicion for Lopez’s case.”
Sergeant Grey presses his lips together but fails to hide his smile as he begins laughing, leaning backward while he wipes an amused tear from his eye.
“Let me guess, you told them that you’re with Bradford and they didn’t believe you.”
“Uh, exactly,” you answer, surprised at how quickly he determined what happened.
“I’ll talk to Nolan,” Grey promises.
“I can do it,” Tim responds.
“No, Bradford, I’ll handle it. It won’t happen again.”
“It better not, or I’ll intervene.”
“I’m sorry,” Grey tells you. “The charges won’t be filed, so you’re not going to be impacted other than the inconvenience this afternoon. I apologize on behalf of the entire department.”
“It’s not a problem,” you answer softly.
“It is a problem,” Tim says before exiting the office. “Nolan!”
“Tim,” you call, rushing out after him. “What’re you doing? They didn’t even believe me about you.”
“Not the biggest problem. Nolan!”
“Uh, yes?” Nolan asks, glancing over Tim’s shoulder at you.
“You arrested my fiancée on a completely baseless allegation. Because she looks a bit like a suspect in a huge case. That is not good police work, that’s being lazy and making connections where there are none.”
“I-“
“Unless you’re about to apologize, stop talking. Care to explain why you heard my name and didn’t do anything?”
“She claimed to be your fiancée. What was I supposed to do, just believe who I thought was a suspect in numerous felony cases?”
“Doesn’t sound like an apology.”
“What are you so mad about? I did my job.”
“You did what you think your job is. As a TO, it is on you to make sure Celina is prepared to do her job without you. Bringing people in because they fit what is possibly the most generic physical description ever is not being a good officer.”
“This doesn’t sound like letting me handle it,” Grey says, stepping out of his office.
Tim clenches his jaw before pointing at Nolan. “For the record, she is my fiancée and I will not forget this.”
“You have a fiancée?” Nyla asks as she stops in the middle of the bullpen. “Wait, are you the one who got brought in for Angela’s felonies? The one who called Wesley?”
“Yeah,” you answer, supplying your name as you introduce yourself.
“Oh, this story needs to be told.”
“Don’t,” Tim warns.
Nyla pulls her phone from her pocket, smiling as she types. “Too late.”
“So much for my day off,” Tim grumbles.
“I got arrested today, and you had a long day?” you ask.
“We’re leaving.”
Tim leads you to his truck, sighing as he sits back in the driver’s seat.
“Tim-“
“Don’t apologize again. I’m not mad at you, for anything. Just… this is so stupid,” Tim concludes, smiling as he laughs.
“You’re telling me. Although Nolan and Juarez got a good laugh out of the idea of you having a fiancée.”
“I don’t think that’s funny,” Tim responds. “I think I just got very lucky.”
You smile, leaning across the console to kiss Tim.
“Excuse me, you’re parked in a tow-away zone. Tim?” an officer asks through the open window. She gasps before asking, “Is this your fiancèe?”
“Bye, Chen.”
Tim pulls out before she can say anything else, and you laugh at his dramatic sigh.
“Can you stay out of trouble for the rest of my day off?” he asks.
“I may need some incentive.”
“Then spend it with me. Not calling Wesley Evers from a jail cell.”
“Deal.”
You take Tim’s hand and smile. He brushes his thumb over your knuckles, keeping you close as he drives to his house.
"Wait, we should take a picture," Tim says after parking in his driveway.
"For what?"
"To commemorate your first arrest."
You roll your eyes but smile anyway. Tim takes the picture, and when he looks down to see how it turned out, you cup his face in your hands and kiss him. While he's thoroughly distracted, you try to grab his phone, but he moves it before pulling you closer. Maybe getting arrested and letting Tim's coworkers know he's engaged wasn't all bad.

Another “currently thing”… I think I’m gonna make these a series. Anyway…
Currently thinking about writing a story/series about Veronica Hastings x Reader, where reader has had a crush on Mrs. Hastings since high school. They don’t do anything until the friends are graduated from college…
I don’t even want to elaborate anymore because I think it will spoil my ideas but…
Let me know what y’all think. Any additional information/concerns/comments/brainstorming ideas.

Oh my goodness. People need to stop comparing InstaPoetry and TumblrPoetry because it is not the same! There is an obvious difference and TumblrPoetry is clearly superior because it’s… you know… actual poetry with depth and symbolism and mature emotions (i.e. complex and made up of many different emotions, sometimes conflicting). It's not the same so just… stop.
