I wish you would write a fic where 51 (or part of it) came out to LA to celebrate LA Pride with Buck. I wish you’d write a fic where the 118 got confronted by this group of individuals who come together to support and cheer on Buck and each other without having to drag Buck down to do it.
In season one Boden tells Mills that Severide has slept with half of Chicago, and he’s not judging for it, he’s commending him for not sleeping with anyone for two years while he focused on his candidacy and joining squad. Severide and Shay where never judged for how many people they chose to sleep with but for those they chose to keep around, and Buck has always been judged more for the quantity of people he slept with and less for the quality of the people he chose to stick with. I feel like a lot of the relationships he has romantic and otherwise are all very one sided and focused on what he can do for them, with out Buck getting much back in return.
It’s kind of like when Captain Paterson told Boden something along the lines of: “I’ve seen a lot of houses call themselves a family but 51 is the first one I’ve really seen that means it”. Like, when Herman was stabbed, they set up a shift schedule for who would watch his kids off shift so Cindy could be with him at the hospital, and when Otis was shot, Boden had him back in the house as soon as possible, even though it wasn’t as a firefighter. I feel like 51 shows up for each other and their community in ways that the 118 just doesn’t. There’s so few, and almost all of them have lives and families outside of the firehouse that Buck is like the third wheel.
I don’t know what Chicago has by way of Pride but I will be researching it and we will be having a lengthy bit on Pride because I love it, Buck would THRIVE at Pride, Kelly would be grumpy about the whole affair - it’s gonna be great. I may eventually do something at LA Pride too but I don’t feel super inspired to do a 51-comes-to-LA-Pride fic right now. 
I love how much thought you’ve put into this and I think it would be great if you decided to write this specific fic! In general, I’m always super happy to discuss fic ideas and meta with folks but I’m not likely to write for a prompt that is super lengthy and specific. It doesn’t really feel like my fic at that point and it’s hard to make decisions without feeling like I’m letting the prompter down. Prompts this detailed also lend to being a super long fic and I’m in the middle of two lengthy WIPs and a few other shorts, so I just don’t have time on top of everything else. 
The kind of prompts I’m used to from previous fandoms where I’ve done a lot of prompt fills are more like “character(s)/pairing, one or two line scenario or dialogue prompt.” It gives me a lot more room to decide length and tone and flesh out the details myself and I’m much more likely to be able to knock out a short fic for a prompt like that between doing other things.
That being said, you’ve hit on a couple of things here that really highlight the difference in the shows for me. I love them both, but Chicago Fire far and away does a better job of showing us the firehouse as a found family who are integral to each others’ lives in and outside of the firehouse. 51 fights like family and they support each other like family in a way that I find both much more compelling and much healthier despite all of their ups and downs. Part of this is probably b/c 9-1-1 spends a lot more time focused on truly ridiculous on the job scenarios rather than developing their lives and showing their interactions outside the job or even their day-to-day at the firehouse. With 51 we’ve got years and years of their backstories, their neighborhood bar, their shared business ventures, the way they go to bat for each other and for random victims they get wrapped up in helping, them at charity events and concerts and hockey games together and them always always there at the hospital bedside that we don’t see the same level of development of w/ 9-1-1 in my opinion. Which is ok, because they’re different shows with different focuses and *cough*different levels of quality*cough*. But I could also probably write an entire essay about Boden as healthy work dad vs Bobby as toxic work dad (in large part b/c instead of being ‘work dad’ he has an incredibly specific and toxic father-son dynamic w/ Buck that I think 9-1-1 handles badly).
Part of the reason for starting my Chicago: 9-1-1 series in Chicago is that I think it would be a much better environment for Buck to grow and learn and develop relationships and a support network in! There are a lot of ways that he’s like Severide (sleeping around, spiraling and making really terrible choices when things go wrong) and Gallo (impulsive, daredevil risking his/others lives) and others who really learned and grew there over the seasons with the house’s support and guidance. And it’s a place where I’m going to enjoy exploring his mental health issues before sending him to LA and the 118 as someone who knows himself a better and is not as desperate for that substitute family that the 118 isn’t set up to provide in the same way.
Buck is a mess who can and should and will struggle and get judged at 51 in anything I write. I think some of the interpersonal dynamics in 9-1-1 are really toxic in ways that end up getting treated as cute and familial in fic but YMMV and if that’s what people wanna write I don’t judge I just backspace outta there.

new york’s very own mckenna asher was spotted on broadway street in jimmy choo romy pumps . your resemblance to taylor hill is unreal . according to tmz , you just had your twenty-first birthday bash . while living in nyc ,  you’ve been labeled as being materialistic , but also devoted . i guess being a taurus explains that . 3 things that would paint a better picture of you would be wrists covered in makeup swatches , a perfectly blended halo eye ,  and never being seen without perfectly manicured nails . ( i once made a fake account to expose information about myself just to get more followers ) & ( cis-female & she / her  )  +  ( lia , 19 , she / her , cst . )
hello , loves ! it’s me , lia ( i also play margo ) back again with another trash child that i’m hoping you’ll all love as much as i do <33 i first came up w kenna many years ago and haven’t had the opportunity to write for her in a long long time , so i’m really excited to bring her here ! as always , if you wanna plot go ahead and LIKE THIS and i’ll happily come love you down . if discord is more your jam , hmu there too @ 𝐛𝐛𝐧𝐨$𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥#1904 . love y’all !!! 💕💓💕
S T A T S ↴
-- * FULL NAME : mckenna sophia asher -- * NICKNAME(S) : kenna ( preferred name ), kenny , ken , mick -- * AGE : twenty-one -- * D.O.B : may 10th -- * ZODIAC : taurus -- * GENDER : cis-female -- * ORIENTATION : bisexual biromantic -- * HEIGHT : 5″7 -- * NATIONALITY : american ( has dual citizenship in america and wales ) -- * BIRTHPLACE : colwyn bay , wales -- * OCCUPATION : youtuber / makeup artist -- * TRAITS : devoted , ambitious , hard-working , materialistic , stubborn , patient , sensual , reliable , organized , possessive , imbalanced , attention-seeking
B I O G R A P H Y ↴
honestly i am........ too lazy to make this a nice bio so plz forgive me for settling on bullet points ,, but at least that’s less reading for you !!!!
mckenna’s father is from wales and works as a plastic surgeon for the rich and fabulous and her mother is from new york and works a beautician and stylist for celebrities . together they had 5 children in total , the kid in the very middle being kenna . the family spent most of her childhood living in wales before moving to new york just before mckenna started high school
all of her siblings are really talented . it must be in their genes or something to have an affinity for the arts . her older brother is in a popular band . her older sister is a principal dancer . her younger sister is an incredible painter . and her younger brother is like six so he’s still coming into his own but there’s no doubt that he’ll be a prodigy at something
and what about mckenna ??? well she tried following in her brother’s footsteps by learning a bunch of instruments but none of them clicked . after that she tried to take dance classes with her sister but it was clear to see that she had two-left feet . she could barely draw a perfect circle , so painting like her younger sister was out of the question too . eventually she tried to pursue an acting career , auditioning for tv shows and movies but never booking anything more than a handful of commercials
so she spent a majority of her life feeling pretty inadequate compared to her siblings . she just wanted to be good at something , anything really . and she wanted to be praised for it . luckily , she eventually found her thing . though it was sorta unconventional : kenna figured out that she’s good at makeup . it’s basically an art form in itself and since she had the time on her hands to practice , she got pretty good at it
she started posting her looks on social media , gaining a little bit of attention on her instagram and later even starting a youtube channel ( at the time it was called pinkglitter2234 bc she was like 13 and cringey ). doing makeup and making youtube videos was her new favorite pass time and pretty much all she did throughout high school . kids in her school started recognizing her as “the the girl who talks funny and makes youtube videos” ,, so that’s pretty cool ig
it really wasn’t until her senior year that her channel gained a serious following . by the time she graduated she worked her way up to 1m subscribers and just a few hundred thousand away from having 1m on instagram too . CRAZY . and since youtube had become a serious job to her that she wanted to continue doing , she figured that she’d take a gap year off just to focus on that and building her personal brand . so she moved out and got an apartment in the city , paid for all by herself ( though mommy and daddy’s money certainly helped furnish it with all her lavish stuff ) and got to WORK
that ONE gap year turned into a gap... three years ??? she never applied to university and honestly she doesn’t plan to anytime soon ! her social media career has never been more poppin’ tbh . she has like over 8m subscribers on her main channel ( now called makeupmckenna ) and just a little bit under that on her vlog channel . she’s had various partnerships with different makeup brands , colourpopcosmetics , morphe , and lancôme just to name a few . on her channel she also does fashion / styling videos , which has gained her attention from several brands that have sent her pieces to promote and invited her to see their shows at fashion week and whatnot . big money moves basically !!
okay now for her secret : basically ,, kenna is hard-working don’t get me wrong , but she’s also obsessed with increasing her following and is willing to do anything if it means signal boosting herself and becoming more successful . so basically , at one point she made a fake account that posed as one of her “haters” “exposing” her-- and since no publicity is bad publicity , it got more people talking about her and following her . she even made a sob story youtube video in response to the “hate” she was getting and the rumours that were sparking because of it . the account has since been deleted but that doesn’t mean that the screenshots of the rumours aren’t still circulating the internet . it’s been a few years since the “scandal” but that doesn’t mean that it still doesn’t get talked about from time to time
P E R S O N A L I T Y  &  F U N  F A C T S ↴
personality-wise : kenna is a sweetheart ! at least on the outside ! like she lowkey has selfish motives sometimes when it comes to gaining online popularity , but outside of social media she is genuine and goofy and a good friend i swear . would give you the designer clothes off her back if you’re close to her . also affectionate because she’s from a big family that actually has a healthy relationship with each other ( minus kenna’s minor jealousy she used to harbor as a kid... she’s kinda grown out of it now as a young-adult who’s successful in her own right ) so she loves to love . super materialistic though . loves shiny things and owning the newest trendy stuff . definitely thinks that money can buy happiness and she’s super stubborn so you cannot convince her otherwise . loves attention , will do just about anything to get it but if it doesn’t fit her “pristine girl next door” image then she’ll have to do it in secret . and since she has made a name for herself as being “innocent” , she doesn’t party too much . just not a big fan of that lifestyle
just bc she never went to college DOES NOT MEAN that my girl is dumb  .. she actually likes to keep learning new things by constantly reading and trying out new skills . she’s v much a jack of all trades but a master at none . minus her ability to beat her face and talk to a camera lol
she’s fluent in both english and welsh , and used to have an accent when she was younger but has since taught herself to sound super american . she thinks it makes her more appealing idk
very family orientated and keeps in close contact with her siblings and parents despite the fact that they live all around the world doing their own things
has collabed with loads of famous peeps not just for youtube videos but getting to do their makeup for gigs . she’s gotten to a point in her career where she’s able to bridge the gap between influencer and professional artist y’know what i mean ??
loves dogs . has a dog named tate who frequently makes appearances in her posts :)))
consumes an unhealthy amount of caffeine daily
doesn’t know how to drive . doesn’t even have a license or anything and who knows if she’ll ever learn tbh
she’s bisexual but has only come out to her close friends and family . hasn’t outwardly said anything to her following but they can probably make assumptions considering who she’s been seen getting close to . like it’s not a big deal to her , she likes who she likes , but also doesn’t think it’s anyone else’s business besides whoever she’s dating / sleeping with at the time
W A N T E D  C O N N E C T I O N S ↴
EDIT : i have in fact made a wc page so peep that here if ya want ! xox

Two weeks later, Dean showed up.
Didn’t call. Didn’t text. Didn’t give any warning whatsoever.
You and Sam were returning from an afternoon grocery run, and both of you could smell Dean even before the Impala came into view. Next to you, Sam tensed, and you placed a comforting hand on his thigh as you parked next to the shiny black car.
“Sam, it’s okay.” You soothed him. “Look at me, everything’s gonna be okay.”
Sam’s jaw locked. “I can smell him.”
“You won’t bite.” you leaned across the seat and kissed him gently. “You’ve been good about that and we both know I can hold you back if you if you can’t control yourself.”
Together, you and Sam walked up the porch and through the screen door. Dean was in the living room with Garth, watching a rerun of the most recent football game on the television. He looked up as you and Sam entered, and his gaze immediately locked on Sam’s posture, as if he was searching for any sign that his brother might repeat his actions from months before.
“Sam.”
“Dean.” Sam’s tone was a lot more serious, but he couldn’t meet his brother’s eyes. “Been a while.”
Dean nodded and ran his fingers over his stubbled chin. “Yeah, I know… look, I was in the area and I thought I’d check in.”
“Finally feel like you can talk to me now, huh?” Sam retorted tensely, “not scared of me anymore?”
The older Winchester shook his head and let his arms swing by his sides. “I… look, I know I haven’t been… close over the past few months, but I wanna make it up to you. If it’s okay, I was wondering if you’d wanna go out, maybe grab a couple drinks.”
Sam looked at you, like he was asking for permission. You nodded and watched as he turned back to his brother. “Only if Y/N can come too.”
You placed a hand on his arm. “Baby, I can stay here, I trust you.”
“I need her, just in case.” Sam explained, ignoring your protest. “Yeah, just… name a time and place, we’ll meet you there.”
Dean bowed his head. “All right… it’s good to see you, Sammy, you look good. Healthy.”
“Thanks.” Sam smiled tightly and looked back at you. “This one made sure I’m still here.”
***
That night, you and Sam met Dean at a small bar in town. It was crowded with heavyset, inked up bikers and the occasional riffraff who looked like they may or may not have gotten out of a night at the local jail. You quietly nursed a lemonade and waited for both men to strike up a solid conversation before excusing yourself to go to the bathroom. Sam reluctantly watched you go; the bar was a cesspool of human scent and it wasn’t helping how nervous he already was.
“So, what’s the deal with her?” Dean tossed back a swallow of whiskey and cocked an eyebrow. “She your girlfriend now or somethin’?”
Sam felt his cheeks turn scarlet as he turned his attention back to his brother. “Uh… w-well, I guess—”
Dean rolled his eyes. “C’mon, I leave you with a girl for three plus months and you don’t at least try to get in her pants?”
“It’s… it’s not really like that,” Sam explained.
“Ohhh…” Dean grinned when he saw Sam bow his head. “You’re in love with her but she thinks you’re just friends, huh?”
“No.” Sam spun his own beer bottle between his fingers and bit his lower lip.
“Then you had a one-night stand and she didn’t, y’know...”
Sam shook his head and grinned at the memory of you absolutely wrecked underneath him, tears of pleasure leaking from your eyes as his knot locked his body with yours for what felt like the hundredth time. “We love each other.”
“So she’s your girlfriend.” Dean affirmed, teeth sparkling as he leaned back in his seat. “Nailed it.”
“It’s a little different than that,” Sam stated bluntly, “we’re… we’re mates. Alpha and Omega.”
“What?” Dean scrunched his brow. “What the hell is an Omega, I mean, I get there’s Alpha monsters, but…”
Sam held up a hand. “You know what, I’m not gonna explain our bedroom crap, you wouldn’t understand it.”
Dean arched his eyebrows. “So it’s kinky, huh?”
Sam shrugged and finished his beer. “Anyway, why’d you just turn up? It’s been three months.”
Dean raised his fingers at a passing waitress, who quickly set another beer on the table in front of him. He lowered his voice so the men in the table a few feet away wouldn’t hear. “When you… when you snapped like that, down in the basement… I got scared. I got scared and I left and I just decided to keep my distance. I didn’t know if you’d want to see me after that.”
“I tried calling you.” Sam tightened his jaw. “I left voicemails, I texted you, you never picked up.”
“I was busy.”
“That’s not a good excuse.” Sam replied. “Just say it, you didn’t wanna see me because you thought I wasn’t really your brother anymore. I was just another monster.”
Dean didn’t reply. Sam had assumed correctly.
“What’re we talking about?”
You’d slipped back into the booth next to Sam, who kept his eyes on the scuffed surface of the table.
“Nothing…” Sam gripped your hand tightly in his own. “It’s nothing.”

Three years later
There was a ghoul in Grantsburg, Wisconsin.
Mary had been back almost two months and was spending most of her time on the road with Dean. Sam didn’t know about his mother, Dean hadn’t been able to find an easy way to tell him. Not over the phone, bringing her to the house with no warning would send him into fucking shock.
Mary didn’t know about Sam. She knew he was alive, but all Dean had told her was that he was settled down with his wife of almost two years. There was no mention of his affliction, nothing to say that her youngest son wasn’t human anymore. No photos were shown, no messages or phone calls were sent.
In her mind, he was living a good, peaceful life, and as long as he was happy, she would do anything to keep it that way.
Now, it was almost midnight, and a full moon hung in the sky above the mother-son duo as they made their way through the forest, machetes drawn in one hand, guns in the other.
“So where are Sam and Y/N?” Mary asked, glancing around her through the dark twisted limbs of trees. “You said they lived around here.”
“Couple miles,” Dean replied quietly.
Mary inhaled sharply as a branch cracked under her foot. “Why don’t you want me to see him?”
“I never said I didn’t want you to see him, I don’t want him to have a friggin’ heart attack. He doesn’t even know you’re alive.” Dean glanced around a tree, gripping the handle of his blade harder.
Mary was about to speak, but Dean shot a hand out, stopping her in her tracks “Shh.”
She froze, whispering. “Dean, what is it?”
An animalistic growl echoed from behind them, followed by the sound of branches crackling as something rushed through the trees towards them. Before Dean could click his flashlight on, something slammed into them, knocking both of them to the ground. He struggled, heard something snarling above him, and struck out with his blade. The figure on top of him shrieked in pain, and then something leapt on top of his attacker, dragging it away with a feral snarl. He gasped for breath, reaching out in the dark for Mary.
“Mom, are you okay?” He asked urgently, rolling onto his side and shouting over the screeches of pain from the ghoul and the animalistic growls from its attacker.
“I-I think so…” Mary winced and gasped in pain as Dean helped her up, shoving her instinctively behind him as he raised his gun. “Dean, what is it?”
“I don’t—” Dean inhaled sharply as he saw their savior crouching over the much smaller ghoul, practically ripping the damn thing to shreds as if to make sure it was completely dead. The army green jacket seemed vaguely familiar… the long brown hair…
Shit.
He stepped in front of his mother, raising an arm and attempting to push her back through the trees. “Mom, you need to—”
When Dean spoke, Sam yanked his head back from his victim’s neck and spun around. His hazel eyes glowed yellow in the moonlight, his lips and chin shone with blood, his fangs dripped with it, long black claws protruding from his slim fingers. Mary was hidden from his view, but she could see him.
Werewolf…
She raised her gun, hoping that she could get off a good shot.
“Mom, no!”
Dean grabbed her arm and pushed it up towards the sky. Her shot went wild.
“Dean, that’s a werewolf,” Mary shouted. “Kill it!”
Dean held her arm. “It’s Sam, mom! It’s Sam! Don’t shoot!”
Mary froze. “S-Sam…? No, Sam’s not… Sam’s not…”
She stared back at the werewolf that was still crouched over his prey. Her eyes locked with his, the pupils pinpoint in the center of the glowing yellow irises. He was panting, and he closed his mouth to wipe the ghoul’s blood from his face. She saw tears fill the eyes that matched hers as he tightened his jaw and stood up, still crouching slightly.
“Sam…” Mary breathed, and then she started to cry. “Sammy, it’s me… it’s mom.”
Sam took a step towards her, his entire body tense. He took a breath, as if he was going to speak, but no words came out. Dean watched carefully as his mother slowly moved closer to her youngest son, her hand outstretched, like she was going to touch his cheek. She knew it wasn’t smart, she knew that he could bite at any time, but she’d been gone for over thirty years… and she was seeing her little boy, all grown up…
Through the bloodlust and animalistic instinct clouding his mind, Sam felt something inside him break. It wasn’t a photograph of his mother with them when he was a baby. It was her, standing right in front of him with one hand outstretched.
Don’t let her touch you, if she touches you you’ll bite…
Without warning, Sam let out a feral snarl, turned, and ran away through the trees, in the direction of his home. Mary stumbled back and fell against Dean with a shaky sob.
“Oh my God…” she sobbed, her shoulders trembling with the force of her breathing. “Oh my God, Dean…”
Dean held his mother tighter against him as she broke, sobbing openly on his shoulder. “I know, mom, I know. I didn’t want you to find out like that.”
“He’s a werewolf,” Mary cried. “M-my baby boy… Dean, how—?”
“Shhh…” Dean looked over her shoulder at the spot where Sam had disappeared, and the mangled body on the forest floor. “Come on, let’s get back to the motel. I’ll explain everything.”

Tumblr media
scanning XU YUXIAN, they are TWENTY FOUR year old and read as CUNNING but DECEITFUL, which explains why they are referred to as the VARMINT. before virtual reality HE was IMPRISONED FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF DRUGS and living in QUINGDAO, CHINA. they’ve been said to look incredibly similar to HUANG ZITAO, but they’ve never seen it. in this new virtual world, they plan on DOING ALL OF THE CRAZY SHIT HE'S ALWAYS WANTED TO and hope to NEVER GO BACK to reality. 
*    BACKGROUND    !
tl ; dr . “ the best way to solve a problem is just to eliminate it . " in thick accented mandarin. the roar of a bike kicked to life with exhaust pouring out of the tailpipe and the low graveled hum as it idles way past midnight. charcoal ashes and heavy-lidded eyes. teeth stained red from marlboro's and split, bloody lips. baseball bats through car windows, the scrape of a bic as it lights. the smell of cigarettes burned deep into veins. the drag of a knife light across a throat. knuckles blooming purple pressed into nose bridges, a smile with a pair of pliers knocking against porcelain teeth. THIS vine. 
so as formerly stated this is yuxian, the worser half of the xu siblings. disruptive and dangerously reactive to any sort of aggression, he's adapted to a reality reliant on violence and force over patience and rationale. he's an overall shitty guy, with some even shittier habits. street smart and instinctive, his world works in harsh turns and bared knuckled fists. 
dropped out of high-school.. was one of those ‘lunch is my fav class’ kids except he got dragged 2 school by the ear when he was younger and then people just. stopped giving a fuck  ! 
so he did what most boys do in big towns with no proper parental guidance: raised a little hell, drank a lot of alcohol when his liver was barely formed, fixed bikes and engines, and beat up a few rich kids who looked @ him the wrong way. speaks like every mf villain in an anime ever. over-enunciates vowels and suffocates his consonants. acts like the stray he p much is w parents as shitty as his. 
the xu family had earned themselves a nasty reputation in the community they lived in. they're tough, they're intimidating. they do things their way. xu’s speak with their fists and their knives and their brass knuckles and their bats, not known for thinking out their actions before acting out. violent. horrible. the worst People™. 
yuxian’s parents owned and operated a dim-lit, greasy restaurant in the heart of their community, once used to deepen the family's pockets as they sold some choice off-menu items, they were offered a deal by a rich family that bought up their block when yuxian was around 15, selling their enhanced drugs imported from europe behind the grime-coated counter. yuxian saw the $$$ and didn’t think abt how risky it would b, or that they’d be the ones caught red handed if they were ever raided. being able to label himself as a drug dealer just made his reputation in the community go up.. and he was livin la vida loca 
along with working as a drug-runner, he liked to fancy himself as something of a debt collector, making sure to "follow up" with anyone who hopes to evade payment to the family. weapons of choice include a baseball bat to the kneecaps and automatic knives. has he actually hurt anybody ?? absolutely Not. he a puthy ass bitch... but don’t say that to his face unless u wanna end up like that ‘what are u gonna do? stab me? guy who then.. got stabbed 
basically yuxian will do whatever it takes to get what he wants and to survive. he never considers himself a bad guy; he considers herself bold where others find him brash. he thinks that he's tough where he's really just a brute. he's never a bully, it's never unjustified, but if he ever is he doesn’t think much of it bc he’s never gonna change , ygm ?? 
he ended up in prison when he started selling drugs to the rich family’s only son, who lbr, became quite a decent friend to yuxian. the son in question had a bad side - effect to the dodgy drugs they were dealing and died of cardiovascular complications. worst thing is that the last memory xian has of the world before virtual reality is waiting for his parents or siblings to come visit him at but being stood up. next thing he knows he’s in a world where his freedom hasn’t been taken from him and he can. he’s Extremely Bitter, and very Chaotic, my guys. so watch out
*    PERSONALITY   !
honestly and truly, at the end of the day, yuxian is not a good friend to have. xian is not friendly. he will never say the thing you want to hear as opposed to how he is feeling, he'll never sugarcoat anything, he'll never be a listening ear. encouragement and support don't exist here. he is fickle and fair-weathered and will use and use and use until there's nothing left to give. 
self-serving and self-invested to his core, he cares so little it's essentially nonexistent for anyone other than himself. not even his family, given the circumstances. he is opinionated and reactive. volatile. if someone is looking for an influence in their life that will give no fucks and encourage even the smallest whispers of an impulse, yuxian is The One™. 
every bad influence every mother's warned about, everything you know you should say no to: that's her. he has nothing to lose and lives his life accordingly. those in his periphery, he encourages to do the same. respect and admiration are not easily earned. he needs to be impressed. the grander the debauchery, the more points earned. but of course, don't try too hard.. bc that’s corny and he can sniff someone simply trying to impress from a mile away. 
still, to those that he's aligned himself with and chosen to befriend – xian can be loyal the way a snake is to a pack. his trigger-haired temper and baseline defensiveness makes him a good rabid junkyard dog to have in any corner. loyalty is mostly reserved for those who benefit him or to those who serve his best interest – contrary to popular belief, he's not entirely stupid. but definitely has been called a bimbo a minimum of five times in his life. 
simply put, he's a thug. his family has terrorised residents and he hasn't fallen too far from the tree, reaping the benefits of everyone's worst expectations. he's vindictive, manipulative, short-tempered and callous. he'll go to extreme lengths – which often include coercion via intimidation or violence – to get what he wants. he has little regard for other peoples' safety, well-being, or feelings. he lives to ruin lives; not in that fuckboy-esque i'm-going-to-steal-your-gf-and-ruin-your-social-life kind of petty bullshit. he IS a fuckboy but that’s besides the point.. 
every action is based on gut-impulse, acting purely out of unfettered emotion without thinking of what the consequences might be down the line. just pls hate him bc he really deserves it. 
speaking of Love.. with a reputation that followed him from a few years into high school for being tht guy who makes u feel good abt urself then leaves u on read, he's learned to embrace it and accept that people think he just can’t commit. xian is not good in relationships, he doesn't quite know how to show affection in a healthy way. he gets possessive and jealous and easily poisons everything from the inside while trying to sort out the subconscious overbearing fear of this person realising how shit he is or actually realising they’re worth more than his half-assed attempts at affection. so instead he keeps it at an arm's distance before it gets that far. 
*    WANTED CONNECTIONS   !
bad influence ( somebody he is corrupting essentially ) friends who like to crash parties / slum around bars  perhaps people who he knows from before and were aware of his ugly reputation ?? idk this is gonna be an area only open to a few but if they ever lived nearby or in the city where he did then it’s a possibility  ! friends who like to smoke weed behind dumpsters people who he can con  someone who tries to see the good in him but beneath the dirt there’s just more Dirt enemies / frenemies violent low-lives who he can connect 2 on an emotional and physical level fwb / one-night stands / some sort of violent dislike in personality which in turn results in sexual tension  ?

Filling the blanks - Chapter 4
Tumblr media
Pairing: Richie x Eddie x Bill (Reddie at the start).
Summary: During his last moments, Eddie realized he had something to say, but before he could finish the sentence, he was gone. Now he’s stuck between life and death and he knows he won’t be able to rest until he takes care of what he started. The only person he trusts enough to help him is Bill.
Or: The ghost AU where Eddie’s spirit can get inside of Bill’s mind to ask him for help to tell Richie he loved him.
Warnings: Canon Divergence (IT actually kills Audra) and, of course, death of major character. Some really heavy internalized homophobia in this chapter. Like, really heavy. Even some use of the F word that isn’t “fuck”. So, yeah, please be careful, the whole point of this fic is to make y’all have a good time, not triggering you <3

AO3 link
Playlist on Spotify (mostly songs about Heaven and duel related stuff and 1980s hits)
And, as always, shout out to my beta reader @golden-marauders. Without their help, Richie would have a big obsession with coffee tables on this chapter. They’re amazing and super patient with me.
“Yeah?” Richie’s tired voice comes from the speaker of the electric doorbell.
Bill isn’t aware of what he had just done until he hears him. Before that, he simply pushed the button and waited for something to happen. It doesn’t feel that meaningful. But now, now that he knows Richie is there and there’s no way of going back, it all acquires a new importance. It’s weird how so many little actions like getting an airplane ticket, sitting on a plane and taking a cab can sum up to become such a transcendental experience. That’s all it takes to end forty years of denial. And a paper boat can be enough to break a family.
“Who’s there?” Richie insists, openly annoyed.
Bill clears his throat and notices Eddie’s difficult breathing in the back of his mind.
“H-hi, Rich. It’s B-Bill and…”
Wait. Not yet.
“It’s Bill,” he corrects himself.
Richie doesn’t say anything.
“B-Bill Denbrough. From… D-Derry.”
Bill licks his lips as they both wait patiently. Is a week all it takes? They can’t be sure. Being together, it’s obvious they won’t forget. But Richie is alone, and maybe he’s perfectly capable of moving on that fast.
“R-Remember?”
This time, Richie sighs.
“Yeah, of course. Give me a second.”
Suddenly, the gate starts vibrating.
“Come in.”
Bill nods as if Richie could see him and pushes the door open. It’s heavy. When he comes in and hears it closing behind him, he finds out everything in that house seems heavy, grandiloquent, exaggerated. The garden is way too big. Not even that complex, with lots of flowers or fountains or shrubs with animal shapes. Just plain large; foot after foot of short grass, healthy and bluish under the moonlight, and a broad way of gravel zigzagging all the way to the front porch. There’s probably a pool in the backyard, but this side of the house looks huge and vaguely upsetting. Vaguely empty.
They make it to the door and Richie is standing there. Bill can tell Eddie is nervous because he feels it in his own stomach and often finds himself fighting against the instinct of running away as he keeps moving forward.
“Calm down,” he warns him in a low voice.
Sorry.
The yellow light that comes from the inside through the open door, makes Richie look like a shadow, so it’s impossible to imagine how he’s feeling until they’re face to face with him. It’s a mixture of a well-received surprise and the expected fear of this meeting being about bad news.
“Hey,” he says, obviously trying to play it cool.
“H-hey,” Bill replies, scratching the back of his head.
They get quiet for a brief moment, Richie awkwardly looking around in search of something to say that can interrupt such a dense silence.
“It’s… good to see you again, Big Bill.”
The familiar nickname catches him off guard. It almost takes him back to the town they grew up in, where they went through the most traumatic experiences they could have imagined, where they learned that no one cared about anything. Where they lost two friends.
“I’m glad to s-see you, too, R-Richie,” he smiles, but it doesn’t seem genuine.
Richie nods, chuckling a bit. His content laugh fades away when he remembers what happened.
“I heard about your wife… I mean, not that I had to hear about it, I was there, but, you know. Everyone is talking about it on T.V. and... it sucks. It really sucks. I’m sorry, man. I didn’t get the chance to tell you I’m sorry back then.”
He gives Bill a small pat on the shoulder and Bill can’t help but smiling with sadness because of such a friendly gesture.
“I’m s-sorry, too. Thank you.”
“No problem. Just keep moving forward and you’ll be fine. It’s all about surviving.”
“W-well,” he says, staring at his feet, “It’s always been about sur-surviving, r-right?”
He notices Richie has gotten tense. It���s clear that they’re taking this ‘grown-up conversation’ way too far for him. He takes his time to talk again and, when he does, Bill can tell he’s trying to take weight out from the whole thing.
“It’s getting kind of chilly, don’t you think? Wanna come inside and… I don’t know, maybe have a beer or something?”
“I’ll say no to the b-beer, but I can… c-come in, if you don’t mind.”
“Of course I don’t. You’re lucky that all the strippers already left,” he jokes as they go into the house, “And I hope you don’t mind if I say yes to that beer.”
“Not at all, R-Rich.”
Richie closes the door behind them and Bill finds out he’s in the fanciest place he has ever seen. The interior of the building is even bigger, with a large corner sofa right in the middle of the living room, modern furniture like Barcelona chairs everywhere and a transparent coffee table along with them, and a huge kitchen integrated to the landscape. The dominant colors are black and white and several pieces of contemporary art —that Richie probably despises secretly— hang from the tall walls.
Astonished by the luxuries that surround them, Bill walks towards the couch and sits down, while Richie goes to the fridge and gets his beer.
“You sure you don’t want one?” he asks, not looking at him.
“No, t-thank you.”
“Alright, you’re the guest. But I wouldn’t sit there if I were you. Actually, I wouldn’t sit anywhere in this house.”
“W-why?”
“If something is in my house, I probably fucked someone on it.”
Before Bill can process what he just heard, his body stands up.
That’s it. I’m leaving.
“No!” He exclaims, louder than he intended to sound.
Richie stares at him from the kitchen, beer in hand and eyes wide open.
“Shit, I was kidding. I love that couch. I wouldn’t fuck anyone on it.”
Both Bill and Eddie sigh with relief and sit down again.
“Chill out, man,” Richie continues, “You look like you just—”
“Heard a ghost?”
“I was gonna say ‘saw’ but okay, you’re the writer.”
After shrugging, Richie goes back to the living room, sets the bottle on the coffee table and takes a seat next to Bill.
“Uh… you’ve got a… a n-nice house,” Bill comments, not sure of how to start a conversation.
Richie’s eyes seem to light up.
“Oh, why, thank you, Billy, my darling!” He answers, in a ridiculous southern belle voice, “Momma will be so pleased to know you find the family farm quite this—”
“Beep beep, R-Richie,” he chuckles.
They share a quick laugh. Bill can hear Eddie laughing, too. It feels so much like the old times he’s certain that he would be crying, if they weren’t busy enjoying the moment. But it doesn’t last long. As soon as the importance of the real reason they are there comes to light again, he stops. And Richie must feel the new atmosphere of seriousness, because he stops, too.
“Hey, I don’t wanna look like a bad host or anything, but… what brings you to my humble abode?”
It’s time. This isn’t a casual visit, and Richie knows it. He has to tell him the truth or give Eddie the space to say it himself. He waits a few seconds, but nothing happens. Eddie, who just instants ago was controlling him to leave because of a disgusting joke, is nowhere to be seen or heard. He won’t even talk.
“It’s…” Richie says, his grin falling and turning into a worried expression, “Everything’s fine, right? It’s not… It isn’t… Everything’s just… fine, isn’t it? I mean, we tore Its heart out. We…”
Bill soon gets what Richie is thinking.
“Oh, no, of… of course. It’s not about… It’s d-dead. It won’t c-come back.”
“Oh, great,” Richie exhales, relieved, “Well, you could have said that first, don’t you think?”
“S-sorry, I guess I’m a bit… n-nervous,” he smiles.
“Nervous? Why?”
Bill stares down at his own hands, fingers intertwined on his lap, foot tapping the carpet.
“I… Y-you know, with everything… what happened to A-Audra. We were… we were making a m-movie and now… Now I’ve got to talk to p-producers and get a new… a new actress or… cancel the p-project.”
“Oh, so… business trip, huh?”
“Yeah, buh-business trip. And I… I thought I could visit ‘cause… Well, we for-forgot once. We could make thing d-different this… this time. Like… keep in touch.”
This is not going like they planned. This wasn’t supposed to happen. But Richie seems so genuinely glad because he thought about continue with their friendship, that he doesn’t have the heart to rain on his parade. Maybe it’s better that way. He needs Richie to trust him as much as he can, if he wants the whole ‘unfinished business’ thing to work out.
“Uh…” Richie replies, “Yeah, why not? I mean, Bev kinda wanted to do something similar. She gave me her number and all. You know we were really—”
“C-close. Yeah, I know,” he nods, “So, have you… called her?”
“Nah, I don’t know if I will.”
“W-why?”
“She probably changed all her ways of contact, after… Well, after all the shit that sick fuck did to her. And she’s gonna marry Haystack, remember? They’re even looking for a baby. Even though I’d be the most amazing uncle ever, families aren’t my thing. They deserve their cute, suburban life, without someone to remind them of… of what happened. I guess the past is in the past for a reason… Shit, that’s deep.”
“It really is, R-Rich,” Bill chuckles, “But I don’t… I don’t think you’re right about t-that.”
“About what?”
“F-families not being your… your thing.”
“Oh, Bill, come on. ‘Hey, Haystack Jr., look, it’s Uncle Trashmouth!’ and I show up wasted and with two models in short dresses under each arm. Can you imagine?”
He shakes his head while frantically laughing, and Bill can’t help but laugh, too.
“It doesn’t sound that b-bad,” he jokes.
“No, you don’t get it. It’s Haystack Jr.’s birthday party. He’s turning five and all his friends from kindergarten are there! And then I try to hit on his super-hot teacher and pass out on the cake.”
“Okay, you’d be the w-worst uncle ever,” he agrees, still laughing, “But that doesn’t mean f-families aren’t your thing.”
“What makes you think that?”
“R-Richie, we are family. We always… we always were. Since f-forever. And you were always t-there for me. For… for everyone.”
Something changes in Richie’s face when he says that. His features get softer, sadder. He looks down and Bill knows, in that moment, that he broke his shell.
“Not for everyone,” Richie mumbles, and reaches out to get his beer and give it a sip.
“W-what… what do you mean?”
His friend laughs bitterly.
“We were the lucky seven. How many of us are still around?”
“Rich…”
“How many of us are still around, Bill?” He insist, a little more firmly.
“F-five, but—”
“That’s right, five!” He settles his beer back on the table with a loud noise and stands up, “Five of seven. Fucking five of seven.”
“R-Richie, that doesn’t have anything to do with you.”
“Oh, it doesn’t?”
“Of c-course it doesn’t!” he snaps, “We had a d-decision to make. You and I decided to c-come back, Stan decided to… to run away. That doesn’t m-make him better or worse, but it was his… his choice.”
“Oh, right, it was his choice. And what about what Eddie chose? Did he chose what happened to him, too?”
“W-well… yeah. No one f-forced him to—”
“Don’t give me that shit. It was us who were staring at the deadlights. It was us who left him alone, even knowing he was like a lost fucking puppy.”
“That’s b-bullshit! He wasn’t like… like that. What he did was b-brave.”
“Yeah, and you really taught him how to be brave, didn’t you? You really taught how to not give a shit.”
“Eddie didn’t n-need me to teach him how to be b-brave, ‘cause he was!”
“And how did he end? Huh, Bill, how did he end? What did ‘being brave’ bring to him?”
“He s-saved us.”
“Don’t say that.”
“W-why not? He did!”
“No, fuck you. Don’t turn his death into a poetic sacrifice or something like that. This is not one of your novels. He was coughing blood, Bill! It was dirty, it was disgusting, it was everything he hated… And we left him there. You made me leave him there.”
“W-what was I supposed to do? Carry his… his body out of the f-fucking sewers? It was still alive! It had my w-wife. My wife was still… a-alive.”
“And where she is now? Cool, we killed It, when are your wife and your brother coming back to life? When are Stan and Eddie coming back to life?”
Bill doesn’t answer. He just stares up at Richie, who was walking around the coffee table until a few seconds ago, and is now standing in front of him. By the look in his eyes, Bill can tell he regrets what he said. And of course he’s mad. Damn, he’s infuriated. He wants to punch Richie on his stupid face for all the poisonous things that come from his mouth.
But this is not about Richie. He needs to remember this is not about Richie. It’s about Eddie and, even if Richie doesn’t want to see him like that, for Bill, Eddie is a hero and his sacrifice was the most poetic and worthy thing ever.
Richie sighs.
“Shit, man,” he says, rubbing his temples, “That was a shitty thing to say. I’m sorry.”
“It’s a-alright, Rich.”
“I’m just…” He sits down beside him once more, “Look, I really don’t wanna talk about Eds, okay? I just don’t wanna think about him.”
“Maybe that means we should… we should start t-talking about it.”
“No, I really don’t—”
“Maybe you s-should.”
“Why?”
“It’ll make you feel b-better.”
“I’ll feel better when I can’t remember anything of this shit.”
“But you can… f-feel better now.”
Richie groans, exasperated, and stands up.
“Ugh, you really want me to talk about my feelings? Fine, I’ll tell you how I feel. Take notes to use it in one of your stupid books, if you want.”
Bill nods in signal of being prepared to listen.
“Here’s how I feel,” Richie continues, “I feel like a fucking asshole, okay? That’s exactly how I feel: like a fucking asshole.”
“R-Richie—”
“No, listen to me. Remember when we met again? When we all, except Stan, were there? Everyone was excited. I mean, yeah, it was the worst situation possible, but we were glad to see each other again. ‘Cause we were best friends and we missed each other. Well, wanna know how I felt when I saw him?”
He makes a pause and Bill doubts if he’s waiting for an answer before telling him. However, Richie keeps talking without any confirmation.
“I was disappointed. I was so fucking disappointed I wanted to… I don’t know, to go back home!”
Bill feels a flip on his stomach and that’s the only way he can tell Eddie hasn’t left. He rubs his own shoulder in an attempt of comforting him.
“I was disappointed ‘cause I remembered everything. How ‘brave’ he was. How he didn’t take shit from anyone, not even me. He always spoke his mind and called me out when he thought I was being an idiot. Damn, when we were kids, I’m sure he could have bit my fingers off if I tried to pinch his cheek on a bad day.
”He even told his mom to fuck off when he found out about all the lies she told him. And you know how scared of that woman he was. Eds basically… feared nothing. But he changed. You can’t tell me he was the same when we met again.”
“Of c-course he wasn’t. So many… so many y-years…”
“No. It’s not about growing up. He didn’t grow up; he gave up.”
“W-what are you—?”
“He gave up, Bill! He grew softer. After all the shit that woman did to him, he ran right under her boot again when he had the chance. He yelled at her and then apologized, and looked after her ‘till she died. I heard him talking to his wife on the phone when we were in Derry. She’s the fucking same person his mother was! She controlled him in the same way his mother did. And he took it. And he told her he loved her and couldn’t wait to go back to her. Thirteen years old Eddie wouldn’t take that. He would fight back. And then I realized that that Eddie didn’t exist anymore… and I felt so disappointed. I couldn’t believe he allowed the world to tame him.”
I didn’t mean to leave. I didn’t mean to do anything of that.
It’s the first time Eddie speaks in a while, and Bill knows he expects him to say that out loud. But Richie is not over yet.
“And then he… Then he kicked Bowers’ ass. He killed him. And he went and died for us. I know he died for us, okay? I just don’t wanna think about it. And I felt… and now I feel like an asshole. ‘Cause I felt disappointed on a friend that gave his life for mine. There, that’s how I feel. Are you happy now?”
Bill, tell him I didn’t mean to leave. Please.
“H-he didn’t mean to leave, R-Richie.”
Richie looks confused.
“What?”
I made a promise.
“He made a p-promise.”
“A promise?”
She didn’t want me to hang out with you guys anymore. She wanted to lock me away from everyone.
“His mom. His mom didn’t want him to… to s-see us.”
“What the—”
I promised her I’d took every pill and be with her forever if she…
“He p-promised her he… he’d do whatever she w-wanted…”
Didn’t make me get away from you.
“If she didn’t… make him get a-away from… from us.”
Richie thinks it over. His expression is skeptical, but Bill knows he’s trying to process it. He isn’t opposed to trust him and what he’s saying, it’s just that it’s not only hard to believe, but it also feels so far away. Bill has been with Eddie this whole week, his questions were answered and he had time to digest all the new information.
For Richie, who spent all these days alone and is consciously waiting to forget and resume his life, the events around It must feel, at best, like an odd dream he doesn’t want to remember. Being face to face with what happened has to be a big shock. They all thought it was over, and now it proves it will stay with them for years, even if they can’t put their finger on what is going on.
“How…” Richie begins, and Bill holds his breath, “How do you know that?”
“Uh… S-sorry?”
“How do you know about that? How can you know about that promise Eddie supposedly made?”
That’s it. If he keeps waiting for the right moment, it will never come. The right moment is now.
“’Cause Eddie… Eddie is not g-gone.”
Richie takes his time to answer.
“Fuck, really? You’re giving me the ‘he will live forever in our hearts’ speech? That’s why you came here?”
“No, R-Richie, you don’t… you don’t get it.”
“I totally get it. Alright, the man is dead, he was our friend, it sucks. Poor guy, seriously, what a shitty way to go. But he’s gone and there’s nothing we can do about it.”
“H-he’s not gone. Lis-listen to me—”
“You’re the one who wanted to care for the people who are still around. I don’t say it in an ‘it’s all your fault’ way. I mean, you’re right, let’s worry about the living, that’s the best thing to do. And… I’m a Christian, too, you know? Okay, the worst Christian ever, but I still am. If believing that those who left are somewhere and look after us is your thing, that’s amazing. But I—”
“I-I’m not giving you the… the f-fucking ‘he lives in our h-hearts’ speech, id-idiot,” Bill interrupts him, frustrated, “I can literally hear him in my… h-head.”
Richie frowns. Until now, the tone of his voice has been empathetic, almost amused, like he thinks Bill is going through a denial phase and he doesn’t want to break his bubble. Like he’s so over this all that listening to Bill talking about Eddie still being around awakes his compassion. Now, that compassion is gone. He stays in silence for an instant, he takes a few steps back, and everything that’s left is perplexity.
“What?” He questions.
“I know it’s hard to b-believe, but… Eddie’s here. Here,” he taps his own temple with his index finger, “He’s inside my… my head.”
“Uh… are you into scientology or another crazy celebrity cult? ‘Cause this sounds like cult stuff.”
“N-no, please, listen. Eddie d-died, but he couldn’t… he couldn’t leave. He still had something to d-do on… on Earth.”
“Oh, so you are into a cult. Okay, won’t judge you, I just… It’s scientology, right?”
“Will you just h-hear me out, please?”
“I just wanna know if it’s scientology!”
“No, I’m not into fucking s-scien-—”
“Scientology,” he finishes, pointing at him.
“What-whatever, I’m not. J-just listen. E-Eddie got into my b-body because he had to… to do something. And that’s why I’m h-here.”
“Buddhism!” He exclaims.
“No! F-fuck, no, you don’t even know what B-Buddhism is ab-about, do you?”
“I first thought about Judaism, but Stan was Jewish and he never got possessed or anything like that.”
“Fucking God…”
“Are you sure it isn’t scientology?”
Bill groans and stands up.
“I’m not a fucking s-scien-scientologist! This isn’t… This isn’t r-religious stuff or cult stuff or w-whatever you said. I’m telling you the truth! A f-few days ago, Eddie got into my body and asked for my help. He said he wanted to leave, but… h-he couldn’t. He has un-unfinished business and he won’t rest ‘till he takes c-care of it. It has something to… something to do with you and that’s why I came. I’m just trying to h-help him.”
“Man, are you okay? You want me to call someone or anything? Are you doing drugs?”
“He’s here r-right now.”
“’Cause let me tell you, drugs aren’t cool at all, okay? If your friends pressure you to take them, they’re not your friends.”
“He’s hearing this whole c-conversation.”
“Bill, I won’t ask you again, put all your drugs on the table.”
“Please, R-Richie! You’ve got to listen. He… he needs you to l-listen.”
Richie growls.
“Okay! If it means that much for you, tell me. C’mon, tell me what ‘Eddie needs me to know’. I’m sure it’s gonna be bullshit.”
“Y-you’re such an idiot! He was in love with you!” Bill snaps.
This time, he seems to reach the part of Richie that has been hiding during the whole meeting. Sure, he had his emotional moments, but now he looks so hurt, so enraged, Bill starts thinking he’d be capable of committing murder at this point.
“Excuse me?”
Bill crosses his arms over his chest. Even though he is scared, he has to stay firm.
“W-what I said.”
Richie takes a deep breath, as he’s trying to calm down. He probably doesn’t want to harm him and has to put a lot of effort into controlling himself.
“If that was supposed to be a joke, you should leave the comedy to me, Big Bill.” He quietly warns.
Bill gulps, building up enough courage to not withdraw what he’s saying.
“It’s not… it’s not a joke.”
“Bill, really, take that back. This isn’t fucking funny.”
“It’s not a j-joke!”
“Look, I’m really trying here, alright? I’m trying not to break your nose for this, ‘cause you’re my friend and I care for you and I know you’re going through some heavy shit right now. But if you don’t—”
“J-just think about it! Why… why would I l-lie to you? W-we fought an… an evil demon clown! Is this… That’s not harder to be-believe?”
“No, it’s not fucking harder to believe! I saw that thing, It was there, It killed people. But you’re telling me our dead friend is inside your body or whatever and that he was…”
“I-in love with you,” he completes, soft and careful.
The words still affect Richie like the first time he pronounced them. It’s like Richie is sticking to his common sense, looking for a logic explanation, and every time Bill tells him Eddie loved him, it goes past his rational side and goes straight to his unconsciousness. He is not ready to accept it, but he knows it.
Despise this, it doesn’t pulls him out from his anger for too long.
“Okay, you’re asking for it,” he tells him, a look of determination and fury in his eyes as he walks towards Bill, rolling up his sleeves.
Bill wants to stand there and use his words, try to bring Richie back to his senses without physical violence. But during his attempt to be polite, a fist gets shot against the air, and it passes so close to his face he realizes talking is not an option.
Luckily, Richie had a beer and is upset, while Bill remains sober and functional, so his reflexes are enough for him to bend and avoid another punch.
“P-please, you’ve got to—” he begs, taking the first chance he gets to run away from his reach.
“Shut up!” Richie shouts, going after him and throwing more arbitrary hits that never touch him.
They trot around the couches and chairs of the living room, even walking over them when it’s necessary. Bill knows Richie is not at his best form. When they were kids, it would have been a very tough fight and any of them could have won, but now Bill is sure he’s capable of sending his friend to the hospital.
He doesn’t have a reason to escape. Also, escaping wouldn’t be a hard thing to do. If he hurries, he can get to the door and Richie won’t ever be able to find him.
There’s a lot of things he could do, but only one will help Eddie.
“R-Richie, I don’t wanna… I don’t wanna fight with y-you…” He says when he’s at a safe distance.
“Oh, you don’t wanna fight?” Richie mocks him, shortening the gap between them, “Sure, you’re so over this, aren’t you? You’re so fucking mature. Well, if you really wanna be a man, then come here and fucking fight like one!”
Bill is cornered now. His back is touching the front door —subtly palming the doorknob, in case he can’t no longer control the situation— and he can smell the alcohol in Richie’s breath and feel his hands grabbing his collar. They’re in pause, no more pulling or throwing fists, but it won’t last. They both know it won’t last.
“I-I’m not gonna fight you. I… I won’t. You’re my f-friend.”
“Then why are you doing this, Bill? What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you… I don’t know, are you gay for me? You want my dick or something? I mean, c’mon, your wife died like… a week ago! What do you want from me?”
“I’m not gay! I’m just… I’m trying to… to help E-Eddie.”
Richie reliefs a cynical laugh.
“You’re trying to help Eddie? How? What the hell are you talking about?!” he reclaims, shaking him.
“I already… t-told you. I promised I’d… I’d h-h-help him.”
His eyes are starting to burn, filling with tears that Richie doesn’t seem to mind. His fury is consuming him, turning him into someone else. If the term ‘monster’ applied for them like it applies for common people, that would be the word to describe him right now.
“You’re fucking crazy, Bill! I don’t know what this all about, why you’re trying to make me believe in your ghost bullshit or what do you want from me, but you’ll shut the fuck up. I don’t wanna hear anything and the least you can do now is saying you’re sorry.”
“S-sorry? For what?!”
“For spreading lies about him! You can’t say shit like that, he’s not here to defend himself!”
“But—”
“No, you listen! He was not a faggot, got it? Get it inside your fucking head: Eds was not a fag—!”
He doesn’t end the sentence. As soon as he tries to repeat the insult, Bill’s left hand raises and slaps him in the face so hard it makes him lose balance. So hard his fingers leave a red mark all over his cheek.
Bill wants to apologize. He’s mad, of course, but he didn’t mean to take it that far. He didn’t mean to do that. However, the expression of regret won’t come out. He can’t talk. He can’t move one single muscle. All he can do is stand there, staring at the prettified mess that is Richie at this moment, looking at him with wide eyes and his chest raising and falling agitatedly, as his feet make him go backwards, short and slow steps.
“Don’t call me that,” Bill’s voice murmurs, except that he didn’t order it to do that.
Richie watches, even more disconcerted than before, be it for the words themselves or for the fact he didn’t stutter once.
“W-what?” he asks, no trail of wrath in his tone.
Bill can see the bottom of his own frowned eyebrows as his chin raises in a gesture of challenge. His left fist is closed, but his right arm hangs against his body, not moving at all.
“I said don’t fucking call me that, Richie.”
Richie gulps, still touching the mark on the side of his face. His eyes look slightly wet.
“You know I…”
Silence.
C-come on, Eddie. You can d-do it. I know you can. I know how b-brave you are.
Bill’s lungs slowly fill up with air. Then his mouth exhales.
Richie is waiting.
“You know I love you.”

dont message me about this please. I just need somewhere to dump it
I had a falling out with my best friend at the end of july and he completely cut off contact with me. i trusted him more than anybody in the world and there are no words to describe how much his friendship meant to me. the way this happened destroyed my sense of self-worth and I isolated myself from people and tried to fill that empty void with drinking and shitty eating habits (namely starving myself followed by binge eating). fell into a pretty bad depression and was constantly lethargic and unproductive. hated going out in public because I hated myself and didnt want to be seen.
suffered a death in the family at the end of august. this isnt something I cope with in a healthy way. especially during that period of time
started talking with my friend again in september but that didnt go very well either. still felt shitty about this every day, just having this constant nervousness and wanting to throw up and feeling like im carrying a huge weight on my shoulders, every day 24 hours a day. i had dreams about our situation all the time and it fucked me up. cant remember the last time I got a good nights sleep. developed a lot of trust issues from revelations that came out in the few discussions we had. we havent spoken in almost 2 months now. still really miss him but also still hurting over the things he said and did
2 weeks later, boyfriend of 2 years broke up with me when I got back from dreamhack. it wasnt really a surprise and there's no bad blood but was still a really hard adjustment. we had lived together since before we started dating.
we were splitting rent on a 1 bed apartment so now I have to pay for it myself. i dont really have the means to move. this fucked me over financially bc I was in the process of paying about 8000 dollars worth of debt accrued from when I was unemployed in 2014. so that's why none of you have really seen me since then, im saving money instead of going out to do things. this is also around when I decided to cut the drinking to prevent it from getting out of hand and decided to fix my eating habits, both of which are saving me money
met someone new in november who I got close to pretty quickly. he knew I was hurting from something, a lot of things, and helped me recover and was somehow over time able to convince me i didnt deserve any of what was going on. i started to believe it too. we spent a lot of time together and became very good friends.
around the same time i saw another friend have a falling out with his best friend and the way it got him down made me really angry. he didnt deserve to feel that poorly. this helped me realize that neither did i.
start of december, i fell mutually in love with the new friend. although it was just the beginning of the relationship, it was unprecedented in how genuinely loved I felt. we were supportive of each other in ways I didnt even know I could be. never enjoyed someone's company so much before or felt so totally safe telling them literally anything, and after I was having so much trouble and anxiety over opening up to anybody like that again, this was really really special that he could make me feel that way. especially considering the vulnerable state I was in, I tried to be cautious about getting this attached so quickly, but I decided to trust him. you kinda had to be there to understand just why I let myself feel this way despite it looking like a textbook mistake and me being well aware of that fact. he was thoughtful and respectful and considerate and was the most loving person i've ever known. we live a long distance apart and decided we'd take things slowly until we had the chance to spend some time together in person and discuss what our future looks like at that time. we spent a lot of time together calling each other around the holidays and never let a day (or an hour, really) go by without making the other feel loved and appreciated and worthwhile. for a christmas gift he contacted a lot of my friends and compiled a series of video and audio clips from all of them sending me kind words at the holidays to remind me that i'm loved. he really was a wonderful person.
being able to really believe that I didnt deserve to feel as badly as I had been since the summer, combined with falling in love again... I was finally something resembling happy again, I got my confidence back, I was energetic and productive and in an improved state of mind... not completely, things still hurt and I think they always will. but I was at least functioning. the wounds were still there and they were still fresh but I was at least starting to heal.
had to replace my pc because too much of my hardware was just not working anymore. that was a big financial setback I wasnt prepared for. my laptop mobo also broke so now I dont have one of those anymore. oh well. once im done paying off the last part of my debt im going to save up for a new one
start of january, one of my closest friends goes radio silent and unresponsive to texts and calls for over a week. i was a fucking mess worrying about him. (we hung out a few days ago but at the time holy shit)
my coworker at my job (the only other dev on my team) is leaving, so I have to learn a ton of new stuff and also train who we hire next, and im pretty stressed out about that on top of the status of my current major project
i didnt go to agdq this year, but that entire week was rough. wanted to stay off social media and stuff to not be reminded of it but this is where all my connections are and I need to work on shit. I spent a lot of last agdq making good memories with the friend i had the falling out with and thinking back to that just makes me really sad now.
was finally starting to enjoy streaming again and I injured my hand recently and cant use it to use a dpad or joystick, so now im not doing that either. it got infected pretty badly and ive been worried about that for a while, but it's healing up now. hopefully ill return soon. also having numerous other alarming things happen healthwise that are too TMI for here but... yeah
last week the guy i loved dumped me. not going to go into detail on this but i feel very very slighted by how he chose to do it. it had only been a month but im pretty messed up and blindsided by it. despite the short length I can't remember the last time I had any kind of interpersonal relationship that was so emotionally fulfilling. i still don't really understand. being around him hurt so much that I left my favourite discord server where a lot of my close friends are cause he's in there too. i miss being in there so much but i just cant do it
on saturday I got the news that one of my friends from the smash 64 community passed away unexpectedly. i went to the visitation on sunday. it still doesn't feel real.
i dont want to talk about it, I dont want any offers to talk about it, I dont want to relive it, I dont want to think about it, and especially especially I d o n t w a n t t o t a l k a b o u t i t. just getting it out there bc I feel kinda overwhelmed atm from everything. i just wanna focus on doing the things I need to get done to keep my mind occupied. i want my best friend back, i want the person I love back, i want my friend to come back to life. there's nothing else that can be done for me

What should I expect in car insurance?
Right now, I am seriously considering sharing a car with my boyfriend, so the insurance is lower than it would be for two cars. He is perfectly okay with the idea, but I would still like a truck to haul my horse (his Taurus SE can't do that long distance) for when I move, so it would be more convenient for me to have my own vehicle. I am a 17 year old female. My grades are a B average. I don't have a credit score, i pay with cash or my debit card. I want a truck (preferably an old cheap one that runs). I've heard insurance can be higher if you have a red vehicle, so I am going to avoid that. What else do you need to know to estimate my insurance? Thanks.""

Can your health insurance company raise your rates after you get sick?
I've heard about pre-existing conditions and all, but what about getting seriously ill AFTER you have insurance? Let's say you're generally healthy, and already have heath insurance which you pay for yourself, at a reasonable rate. Then you get a long term illness, or get into a terrible accident, and need years of expensive care. Of course you keep your policy up to date... Can the company raise your rates by triple (or worse) if you get sick this way?""

What UK car insurance companies will consider my Canadian driving experience?
I recently exchanged my Canadian driving license for a full UK license but insurance quotes are so high because most companies only consider that I haven't had my full license for more than a year (in fact I have had a full Canadian license for 8 years).

Going on my grandmothers car mobility insurance?
Hello, I'm 17 soon, male and living in the United Kingdom. If I was to buy a car and take out insurance, the prices would go through the roof and we don't have that much of a budget to spend. However, my grandmother is disabled and her husband drives a car. So, we concluded that it would be best for me to go on my grandfathers insurance to keep the insurance bill down?

However, my mother was talking to her friends in work and they said if my grandmothers cars is a Mobility Car I can go on their insurance for free? Is this correct? What is my best option here?

Anyway, I have been with the same insurer or 6 years and saw a decrease in my rate last year, despite the ticket. My insurer only views records at renewal and mine is not up for almost a year. By then, my first ticket will be about two years old--if they notice it next year. I am middle-aged and get a multi--vehicle and home discount and don't live in the city. My car and truck are about 150 a month or both, with full coverage. How much do you think it might increase to? Thanks.""
Primary and Secondary Health Insurance?
This has been a big complication for a few months, but back in October of 2008, I had a physical exam and my provider billed, what I assumed at the time, my primary insurance company (Horizon NJ Health). However, two years later, Horizon took back that money and my provider has been billing me for that physical back in 2008. I called Horizon and apparently they took back the money because I had another health insurance, and Horizon was no longer my primary. I had not known about my other health insurance company, Aetna student health care, since they never gave me any information or membership details, and I was automatically enrolled for it when I entered my university. When I contacted Aetna, they told me that they weren't the primary insurance company because they were just student health care. After several phone calls back and forth between Aetna and Horizon... I STILL haven't figured out who my primary insurance company is since they both claim to be the secondary insurance (and they seem to have endless reasons why the other is primary). I contacted my provider and asked them who they have listed as my primary, and they seem to be clueless about it too (when I spoke to the receptionist and asked, they kinda changed the topic). Is it possible to have two secondary insurance? If not, who should be my primary insurance? If Horizon is my primary, doesn't that mean they shouldn't have taken the money back for the physical exam?""

How to convince parents to let me have auto insurance?
I've had my license for a little over three months now. However, I have no insurance, and therefore cannot drive (in California). Their reasoning is that I am an unsafe driver which I disagree with because I quite easily passed my driving test at the DMV and always think before I do anything when I drive. However, they seem firm on their decision... It's a bit frustrating having my license for so long but still being unable to drive. I'm tired of having to always ask friends for a ride or my parents; I just want a taste of independence. Of course, I'm not trying to be too arrogant or stubborn, I've respected my parent's decision, it's just bugging me a bit now haha. I offered to do a six-month plan instead of a year plan since I'm heading off to college in Septemberish. I'm about to turn 18 in a couple weeks also. Does anyone have any advice?""

When I turned 21, I got taken off my parents' health insurance. I did not have a job at the time, and could not afford to buy insurance on my own, so I was forced to go without it. Well, I became very sick and was hospitalized for 4 days with food poisoning. The hospital bills total around $50,000, and I was denied Medicaid because I was paying $1400 a month in rent (money I accumulated through prostitution, if you want the truth), and the hospital's social worker felt if I could afford $1400/month in rent, I could afford the hospital bills. Friends of mine at the time were really hard on my parents, especially my mom, saying what kind of a lousy mother would let her son go without health insurance? No editorial comment from me. I'm just curious what other people think. Do I have lousy parents because they let me go without health insurance?""

Auto insurance filing question in WA?
About 5 months ago, my vehicle was hit in a parking lot leaving a big dent on the driver's side. The person who hit the car was kind enough to stay and contact his insurance company to file a claim. His insurance company appraised the damage, sent me a check, and told me it's mine to do with as I wish (I could keep it or use it for repairs). I decided to keep it and not repair my vehicle. Now, I'm looking at selling my car but I would like to repair it first to increase its value. Could I file a claim with my own insurance company since it was not my fault?

How does car insurance work for a teenager?
I recently got my license but still do not drive due to the fact that my parents will not pay for insurance. They say it is too expensive but they also said the only way to make it affordable would be by getting me a car, which I seriously do not understand!! I don't want my own car I just want to be able to legally drive one so why would buying me a car and then insuring the car plus myself make it soo much cheaper than just already having me under their insurance and what not??? I just don't get it because once your insured you are able to drive any of the cars in the household so why buy another car just for me?? My parents aren't making sense and do not want to explain it to me. But we own luxury cars so could that be why they won't add me to the insurance? They are getting me a random, affordable used car which I don't mind but I would rather just be insured car or no car. Oh and they let me drive around all our luxury cars when I had my permit so idk why they are doing this to me.""

Financed a car- car insurance went WAY up?
My husband and I recently sold our old car and financed a used low mile 2007 ford fusion. Our car insurance previously was around 60 dollars a month, now it's over $200.00. The reason our rate increased was our finance company requires certain insurance (comprehensive and collision) that we didn't have before. My question is, do we have to keep this insurance on the car throughout the financing period? They sprang this little tidbit on us right before we signed. We tried to get financing three weeks ago and suceeded, but the person working with us went out sick with swine flu and no one from the bank let us know. We ended up calling last week and they put us with someone else/ It put us in a time crunch since my husband was leaving for Naval OCS the next day.

Why are Pickup trucks so expensive to insure?
ok, I'm 17 and I own a 1999 Dodge Ram 4x4. I pay an insane amount for insurance, and I know I'm a teenager, but I haven't had any tickets or accidents to make it go up. Anyway, my truck is really common in my area, there are Ford, Chevy, and Dodge trucks everywhere you look. But yet I compare the insurance of my truck to a brand new Camaro SS, and the Camaro way cheaper, Heck I compared it to a Brand new Mercedes Benz CLS63 AMG, and it's still way cheaper. I'm thinking about getting a little newer Dodge Ram, but the insurance is a little more expensive on it than what I'm already paying. So why are trucks the most expensive vehicles to insure? I mean if they are in a low speed accident, they don't cost nearly as much to fix as a Brand new expensive car such as a Mercedes with expensive parts, and trucks don't get damaged as easily either. It's kind of frustrating that I have a 11 year old vehicle that you see everywhere, and the cost to insure it is outrageous already, but even If I get the same truck only 5 years old, it's even more to insure, which is understandable seeing how it's newer. I know trucks are big, but even a Brand new Suburban cost less to insure than my 11 year old truck. The truck I'm thinking about buying is the most expensive vehicle possible to insure on a standard drivers license.""

I am a new driver, have a provisional driving licence for a month. The car I want to buy is a large Mercedes S class (5-litre engine) that cost ca. 15K (I have my reasons). Why they would not insure me if I only want the THIRD PARTY LIABILITY cover (the minimum required by law)? The insurance company does not risk paying for my luxury car as third party cover does not cover the car, is that correct? My circumstances that I put in online forms: I am 26, UK resident for 3 years. The car would be bought and registered (and probably insured) under my mum's name, she is an EU national, has EEC (non-UK) driving licence for 20 years and is resident in the UK for 3 months only. I would need to add myself as a second driver... No company would give me an insurance quotation, do you know why? When I change driving licence in forms from provisional to full UK the result is the same (also no quotes at all). But when I change the car to e.g. a small Focus or similar, no problem, cheap insurance available and dozens of quotations are appearing. Are new drivers not allowed to drive luxury cars? HELP!""

Problem with Admiral car insurance... heeelp!!!!?
Hello Thank you for entering in my post I've been with Admiral insurance for more than 1 year, which is my 1st car insurance since I've been in England I've been driving for more than 12 years and I've never made a claim before it was a normal and clear day and i was going to work when I had an accident with a girl riding a moped It was a very silly accident, fortunatelly none was injured, and I only had a broken wind-mirrow, which is no more than 50 of damage I had to call Admiral, my insurer, to sort the problem out, I had no other choice Admiral told me I was not covered to go to work since on the policy agreement says: use for social, domestic and pleasure purposes only. And, according to them, to be covered, my policy had to be: use for social and COMMUNITY. So Community for them means, going to work, it is ridiculas but that's what i was told However they said we cover you, you will have to pay 23.74 extra and you will be covered, it was frustrating, a theft, but I let it go... The absurd story didn't even start yet! I gave Admiral all the details which the police had given to me the day of the accident plus some pictures of the scene, which I took before to leave that day Admiral sent an inspector who interwied me at my house. This inspector wrote a statement of 6 PAGES! about my accident, however, I need to say, he did a very good job On the statement states that none was injured and the fault lies with the moped rider, which is also what the police said on the scene. In addtion this inspector suggested to call my insurer again to finally get my car fixed. Admiral told me I will have to pay for the damage myself and, after all their investigation, if they find out it was not my fault, I can ask e refund for the damage, and they added that this investigation can take up to 3 years, so I will have my money back in 3 years! this is because according to them, the moper rider was injured This is absolutely incredible What would you suggest? I would like to get rid of this Admiral policy as soon possible, I would like to claim against it Who could I call to claim against Admiral? Any suggestion according this matter will be very apprecitive thank you in advance for your help""

""When will my car insurance rates get cheaper, due to having a clean driving record?""
I know I didn't do the best job asking the question, but I'll try to be short and sweet. I'm going to turn 18 in one month and 5 days. I got my license exactly one year ago, November 14th,2009. In January 2010, I got into a small accident, it was during my midterms at school, was a little stressed, but I rear-ended somebody, sadly not in my crappy car that would've cost barely anything to fix, but in my fathers expensive car. Now there was no damage done to the other car, and barely any damage done to my fathers, but because the airbags deflated (which ended up being the most expensive thing to fix) it was a hefty amount to pay. Insurance covered it (geico) and they advertised that the first accident wouldn't effect our rates. Well they lied and it did, so our rates went up because of my one accident. Since the incident, my parents have not got into an accident in at least 7 years, and since my accident all i have received is a few parking tickets. All in all, what I'm asking is; when are my insurance rates going to go back down? I'm going to remain on my parents insurance for a while, just because its cheaper etc etc... and I know I'm still under 25, and a guy, but will they ever go back to the original price they were at when I got my license?

Long term car rentals vs expensive car insurance?
So about 2 years ago I got hit with a false DWI in NYC (passed breathalyzer test cops still lied and claimed DWI). But that's another story. Currently I purchased a used Landrover Disco 2. Geico gave me a sweet deal @ $1430/6 months until they ran the DMV report and saw my DWI from 2 years ago. Now my 6 month rate is $3700/6 months. That price is completely rediculous and unaffordable (according to my pockets). Therefore, my question, should I just do long term car rental? I mean I have a super sweet discount that rivals employees discounts @ National and Enterprise Rentals. I'm thinking I could just rent on a month to month basis for less than $3700/every 6 months. The added benefits would be new year car models and the option to trade it in for any vehicle I choose for an entire month. Plus the gas would be less than the Landrovers V8 premium requirement. Basically my question is, should I do long term rentals or run myself broke trying to keep up with insurance and gas prices on top of rent and other expenses?""

How do you find another person's insurance carrier for an auto accident?
Recently my car was parked on the side of a street. A car pulled up behind it, and caught fire. There was extensive damage to the rear of my car. The person who owned the car was nowhere to be found, and there was no insurance information in the car. The officers on the scene provided me with the registered owners name, address and license plate number. The officer suspected the car may have been stolen, but wasn't certain (The RO of the car lived a few towns over). I do not believe I am liable for this accident. Is there any way to track down this person's insurance company for me to get covered in this incident? I don't have comprehensive coverage, so my company isn't going to cover the damage.

""Conservatives, what is your overall opinion on insurance companies?""
Particularly: a.) Insurance companies that practice rescission in which a person who has paid into the insurance fund is subsquently denied what he has paid for because the insurance company comes up with an arbitrary reason for denying the needed coverage. b.) Rationing. How do you feel about insurance companies who decide if a procedure is in their best interest and deny to someone a life-saving procedure because it isn't profitable to them in the long run? c.) Denials. Someone who works and wants health insurance and does not qualify for state aid because he actually works for a living and pulls his own weight, but can't find a job with benefits (increasingly common, and why are employers expected to foot the bill for insurance as they don't pay for your car insurance or renter's insurance and this limits job mobility and the ability to start small businesses), and is either outright denied or charged more than his monthly salary? d.) Do you think that if rent, clothing and food cost as much as monthly premiums for people with pre-existing conditions, that we would be in serious trouble? e.) How do you feel about people who had the misfortune to be born with a genetic pre-disposition to an illness, i.e., breast cancer, ovarian cancer, Crohn's Disease, Lou Gehrig's Disease, MS, Alzheimer's, haemophilia, etc. f.) Do you think that an emergency room qualifies as part of preventive, ongoing treatment or that it's not cost effective for sick people to wait until they are at the worst stage to get necessary treatment? g.) Can you explain how several nations, in fact the overwhelming majority, that have universal health care have still remained free, capitalist, prosperous nations, i.e., Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Norway, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Japan, Israel, Singapore, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Finland.....they didn't go communist, and the people do not live in gulag states.""

it was about 2:30am when the vehicle was stolen, the police was called and they came out to the scene. they gave me a file number.

State Farm Life Insurance... 30 year term? Whole Life? Select Term? Universal?
What insurance should I get? I'm in my late 20's and I'd like to make sure that if anything were to happen to me that my husband and son are left with enough to continue to stay on their feet. The 30 year term is affordable, but the life expectancy of my great grandparents, grandparents and parents, across the board is at least over 65. I'm as healthy as an ox now, but I know that diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol run in my family. I'm very active so I have no signs of any disease related to heart disease. It's a fear that I've had since I was a kid and it's the main reason why I stay active. That being said, what should I get? I already have 2 cars and condo insurances through State Farm so I'd get something like 17% off my car insurance. I'm struggling to figure out which policy to choose. I need some insight.""

Was Obama's health care/college system comparison valid?
Tonight President Obama compared the public health care option to the public system of Universities and colleges. He said the public option will work the same way public colleges and Universities without inhibiting a vibrant system of private colleges and Universities. This is a fool's argument and a total apples to oranges comparison. Let me explain, first almost all private universities receive funding from the federal government. The federal government is not going to provide funding for private insurance. The second reason is it's common knowledge that the best Universities in the U.S. are private schools such as Duke, Stanford, and the Ivy League. These universities fill most of the highest paying jobs in the country. Some jobs even go as far as to require a degree from one of these schools (Stock Brokers on NYC Stock Exchange.) These highly paid graduates can donate larger amounts of money back to their respective colleges than the average Joe who graduated from a generic state funded university. No one is going to donate money to the private insurance companies. We can't even get all the people who qualify for insurance to sign up and that's the problem! Look, I have no way of knowing whether the public option will work or won't but when faulty logic is used to support it I become concerned. When most of the people supporting the public option are from California (a state where the middle class is few and far between) I become more concerned. When most of the Senators and Representatives who support the public option say they would prefer the U.S. had a single payer system (that's total government control of health care if you didn't know) I become very concerned. The reality is no one knows what the effects of public option will be. Also, the success of FedEx is not any proof that public option won't hurt private companies because an independent council regulates the mail industry. No independent council is mentioned in any of the plans in the House or Senate. yes or no""
How much should my 19 yr old be paying for liability insurance?
She has had a policy with State Farm for liability which is the requirement in Illinois which was about $68 a month Yesterday they said she now has to pay $130 a month for insurance on a 1995 Toyota Camry.

My Insurance auto accident settlement?
I was recently in a car accident where a Nissan truck ran into the back of another car that then ran into the back of me causing $2000 worth of damage to the rear of my infiniti. I received moderate whiplash to my neck and had to be taken to the hospital. I checked out without any broken bones and was prescribed medication. I went to see a chiropractor and he has been working on my neck for a couple days which makes it feel a better. Im 100% not at fault and the insurance company has taken care of my car repair, rental, and medical bills. They ask me How much do I think I want for this accident for pain and suffering. I believe I am entitled to at least $3500-5000 for my suffering I live in NC. I believe $5000 is a reasonable consider the circumstances. I could have lost my life, broke my neck and been paralyzed for life. Thank the lord that I received only a whiplash. The stress that I am undergoing, the constant pain in my neck is a reminder of the accident, which I feel fearful of driving. The time I spent recovering could have been spent enjoying my life. Besides getting behind in my school work, I am absent from my student organization at school which I am a key figure ( president AGC). I don't enjoy waking up with cramps and headaches nor do I like to take prescription pills, and therapy. I don't want to be compensation a insufficient amount that wont even cover pain and suffering I went though. It seems like you people are on the side of the insurance company and not the victims in this situation. I wonder if any of you have ever been in an automobile accident and if you have must share some sort of empathy of what I am reiterating.""
Will a written warning increase my insurance rates?
A couple of months ago I got pulled over doing a 37 in a 25. The cop was nie and let me go with a WRITTEN warning. Weeks later someone totaled my car while it was parked. I recently got a new car and the 1st payment was only $120 something and that was ear our estimated quote, but for the past 2 payments the price has been over $200 dollars and my mother is convinced that my insurance company saw the WRITTEN warning and thats why my rates went up. Is it true that this thing can happen? From my research and understanding insurance companies don't hardly ever do this and thats why is was a warning. The major reason I am concerned is I am interested in buying a Dodge SRT-4 sometime and insurance is very high especially for someone under 21 and 25, and I probably wouldn't be able to afford the insurance payment because they would be as high enough without the warning. We plan on calling EMC insurance after they open either today or tomorrow.""

Car Insurance claim... not sure if it's my fault... how much will my insurance go up?
I live in California and got into an accident with a city bus. I was going to make a left turn in an intersection when the light turned yellow, so I stopped. The bus driver thought I was going to go through the yellow light, so he stepped on the accelerator and bumped into me. Is it my fault for stopping so quickly or his fault for bumping into me? If it's not my fault, will my insurance go up too? How long will it take to bring it back down? I got a hole in my bumper and I think I have to replace the whole thing. Will the driver's insurance cover for it? Thanks ^^""

Car and home insurance together...?
I recently purchased a new car and will close on a home in 2 weeks. I am looking for auto and home insurance in NJ. I called Geico today - got a decent quote. But they dont have home insurance in the area. All State gave me a quote for their platinum one and told me they'll give me the other packages in a minute - put me on hold for 25 mins and I hung up (again they dont have home insurance in my area). Anyone has any experience with TWG insurance? My car dealer gave me their info. I searched for reviews in NJ - nothing, They're TX based and have both home and auto...not sure if it is good for NJ.

Teenage car insurance?
I'm a teen, and I'm thinking about getting a car. However, I've heard that insurance for teenagers can be expensive. Since insurance is usually tied to the car instead of the driver, am I able to get away with using my parents' insurance if the car is completely under my parents' names? Am I allowed to save a large amount of money this way? I only plan on meeting the minimum insurance required by law (in California).""
Volvo S60 insurance for 20 year old new driver? UK?
I am looking to insure a Volvo s60, I'm a new driver and 20. I understand this car has a large engine at 2.5 litre diesel. However it is not deemed a racing car and it has many things positive - It's a very large and safe car (much safer than your Clio, Corsa or Saxo), It isn't a racer's dream, it's big in all ways - And is viewed as a family vehicle. It's robust, chunky and it's a car I would feel very safe in and it would be driven sensibly. Would they insure me and for how much? (UK answers please, thanks)""

Read on Ao3
“I am really starting to think you are crazy, Bubbles,” Gaius accuses as soon as the hotel door is closed safely behind them.
 “We had the money for Donnel and you just threw it away!” Nowi adds. “Money! Beautiful, green money!”
 “T-this is b-bigger than just Donnel now,” Olivia says, coming to Robin’s defense.
 Robin, for her part, ignores the chatter as she pours herself a drink. Olivia turns on her as she does so.
 “Robin, please!”
 “You’re right, Olivia.” Robin turns around slowly, carefully swishing the glass around and watching the clear golden brown waves. “This is bigger than just one client. Four hundred homes… this is a chance to give a voice to so many more victims.”
 “It’s also a chance to get caught by the cops,” Lon’qu cuts in, eyes narrowed. “There’s too many ways this can go wrong with them involved.”
 “But if played right, it can go even better.”
 “What are you talking about?” Nowi laughs uncomfortably. “You’re always so weird and cryptic when you’re drunk. And you’re always drunk, so…”
 “Nowi,” Olivia cringes.
 “We’re going much bigger,” Robin presses on, ignoring the dig at her alcohol problem. “An even bigger scam. So Norris likes to invest in people’s misfortune? Let’s see how willing he’d be to invest… in death.”
 Silence reigns in the hotel room as Robin stares pensively out the window. Nowi takes a deep breath.
 “I’m sorry, you said invest in what?”
 ○
 “You see, it’s very simple,” Robin spreads out her arms to her audience of two: Olivia and Norris, sitting together in the office at Roddick’s house. “You have your average run of the mill person. Hasn’t done anything too extraordinary. Except now, they figure out they have a fatal disease with only months to live, if that. What would you do in a situation like that?” Robin pushes her chair back and stands. “You want to live even more! Travel the world, spend more time with the kids, things like that. But see, most people have no savings left after preliminary treatments. So you’re let knowin’ that you’re gonna die, and on top of that, you’re broke.”
 “Okay,” Norris says, hardly convinced, instead glancing down at his phone.
 “Now here’s where it gets interesting.” Robin points at Norris, attracting his attention again. “Your big juicy insurance policy is just sitting there with nothing else to do. So what we do, our group—” she gestures to Olivia “—we buy their policy. They get a nice chunk of change now, and we can get our pay after they kick the bucket. It’s a win-win for everyone. They get to enjoy their last days, and we get a healthy profit from the exchange.”
 “Lyn’s been in insurance for over ten years now,” Olivia explains. “She approached us with some… insider information.”
 “You wanna know what I got?” Robin asks enthusiastically, clapping her hands together. “I’ve got databases full of sick people and some specialists with detailed reports that helped me compile a short list of people with fat policies and less than six months to live.” Robin leans forward conspiratorially, passing the list to Norris. “Do you have any idea what I’ve just handed you? This is a game changer, my friend. This, well… this will triple your money or more.”
 “Lyn has a select number of investors already,” Olivia inserts smoothly. “With your contribution, we could buy even more policies.”
 “Eh?” Robin grins expectantly.
 Norris glances over the list before shaking his head, handing it back.
 “No. It’s too risky. You can’t control when someone’s gonna croak.”
 “Are you not listening?” Robin replies with a half laugh. “This list is our golden goose! I mean, just look at it.” Robin clears her throat before reading with gusto, “here we go. Lung cancer, middle aged man in Renais. Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, twenty-something in Gallia. Do you see this Rolex? Yeah, this baby’s all thanks to some sucker’s melanoma.”
 “Alright, alright!” Norris relents. “But I want independent confirmation myself with a doctor of my own choosing.”
 “Hey, fair enough,” Robin grins. “But…” she pauses as she picks the list back up, swinging it back and forth in the air. “We do have one condition. No one gets a look at this list without a little buy in first. Ten thousand up front.”
 “Of course,” Norris snorts.
 “Of course,” Robin replies as they shake hands. She hands him back the list. “Take your pick, my friend. Take a good, long look. Pick a patient, any patient…”
 “Uh… okay,” Norris points to a name. “Sain Kent, inoperable brain tumor. He’s even nearby.”
 “Well…” Robin smiles humorlessly. “Nice choice. I’ll set it up. You bring your doctor.”
 “Alright,” Norris makes a note of it as the phone rings. “Oh, this is gonna be good,” he snickers at the caller ID. “Florina!”
 Olivia hurries over as Norris answers, putting the call on speaker.
 “You damn weasel!” Murray exclaims without preamble. “You had one job, man. All you had to do was write the check!”
 “Oh, but I did. Just ask our friend Florina.”
 “What? What’s she doing there?”
 “Oh, I’m sorry, darling,” Olivia cuts in. “We just decided to… go in a different direction.”
 “What—what did you say to her?” Murray shouts.
 “Oh, I wouldn’t know. I just sit alone in my office all day counting numbers,” Norris returns in a mocking impression of his brother. He and Olivia share a laugh.
 “Norris, you little asshole!” Murray thunders. “We’ll see how happy you are when dad hears about this!”
 “Sorry—kssshh—you’re—kssh—breaking up!”
 “Norris, you fu—”
 Norris hangs up, then spins around in his chair to look at Olivia.
 “Oops.”
 “Now that is what I call control,” Olivia chuckles. She looks up and meets Robin’s eyes. “We’ll meet you later at the hospital, then.”
 “Yeah. I’m looking forward to it.”
 “I’m looking forward to a prosperous partnership,” Robin says, shaking Norris’s hand.
 ○
 There’s something relaxing about driving with no destination in mind, even more so when Robin thinks about all of the griping she faces back at the hotel. Between Olivia’s attempts to talk about Robin’s reasons for drinking and the other three still hung up on the decision for Olivia to refuse the check, being alone on the road with vodka in a water bottle sounds like the better alternative. Robin pauses at the flashing red and blue lights in the mirror. Confused as she is, she pulls over, stashing the vodka safely away and shoving a couple mints into her mouth in an attempt to mask the smell. She rolls down the window.
 “What seems to be the problem, offi—”
 The man opens the back door and sits down behind Robin.
 “Ah. Judging by the ill fitted suit…” Robin chuckles despite herself. “Now, what would the state police want with my business, Lieutenant…?” She pauses for the name.
 “Deen. Racketeering and Corruption Task Force. What business do you have in Alabama?”
 “Oh, you know, I just like the country side.”
 “We know you came from a meeting with Norris Roddick. Now, what I want to know is why an ex-insurance agent is trying to make a deal with that family?”
 “Racketeering? That’s what you’re trying to get them with? I realized that you couldn’t get them on the fraud, but… you must be pretty desperate.”
 “We’re going to get the Roddicks.”
 “Oh, of course.”
 “Now, if you and your people still happen to be around when that happens, well… we’re not going to stop to sort all of that out.”
 “Yeah, well, you wouldn’t be talking to me right now if you had anything. You’re fishing.” Robin looks at him in the rearview the mirror. “I must have hit a nerve. Either way, two days. Two days, and the Roddicks will have made a mistake, and we will be gone and out of your way. Just keep your eyes and ears open, and they’ll be yours.”
 “There’s no reason I should trust a drunk.”
 “Your choice, Lieutenant.”
 The lieutenant leaves without a backward glance. Robin watches the other cars go by for a while before she pulls back onto the road.
 ○
 “How are we going to do this? It’s not like any of us have any brain tumors,” Gaius quips, rolling a lollipop from one side of his mouth to the other.
 “Nowi, would you be able to edit the image on the computer?” Robin asks.
 “I don’t think so,” Nowi replies from her seat on the bed of the medical scanner, legs swinging back and forth as they dangle over the ground. “Not easily, anyway. The images from the brain scan go directly from here to the computer, and trying to make any adjustments between the two could get messy. I don’t do messy!”
 “Sure…” Robin trails off, recalling all of the times Nowi’s visited her apartment.
 “Not in my work anyway!” Nowi adds with a pout.
 “So our only option is to scan a brain with some sort of artificial tumor that we plant in there directly.”
 “Yeah… no,” Gaius cuts in. “I am not risking permanent brain damage for you, Bubbles.”
 “We’re obviously not going to put anything in your brain. We’ll need another one…”
 “Creepy~” Nowi sings.
 “Even if we get another brain, how will we scan it if Gaius is in this one?” Lon’qu says from his spot near the door.
 “The computer from this bay doesn’t need to be attached to this scanner,” Nowi grins.
 “There’s another bay next to this one,” Robin says thoughtfully. “Nowi, if you could cross the wires and send the scans from the other scanner to this computer, we can get through this without having to kill Gaius.”
 “Why do you always talk like you have plans where I die?”
 “Don’t ask question you don’t want the answers to.” Robin favors Gaius with a sly grin.
 “Creepy~” Nowi sings again.
 “Well,” Robin takes a deep breath, clapping her hands together. “We need to secure both rooms and a brain for tomorrow morning. Let’s get on it.”
 ○
 “There you are!” Nowi calls, jogging forward to Lon’qu pushing a table with a sheet covering what can only be a body.
 Olivia jumps in surprise as they burst through the door together. Her eyes zero in with horror at the motionless lump underneath the sheet.
 “Do—do I w-want to ask wh-where you…?”
 “No,” Lon’qu answers.
 “Olivia,” Robin says from the earpiece. “Norris should be here soon. Could you join me in the waiting room?”
 “S-s-sure!” Olivia scrambles out, giving the body a wide birth.
 Lon’qu pushes the table next to the bed then slides the body over. He flinches as he notices how close Nowi hovers behind him, though she seems not to notice.
 “So what do we have?” she pulls back the sheet and immediately jumps back, throwing her arms in front of her face. “Oh gods! Gods, so icky!”
 “What were you expecting?” Lon’qu asks dryly. “This is even a clean corpse.”
 “It smells!” Nowi protests, two fingers pinching her nose closed to accentuate her point.
 “Just do it,” Lon’qu sighs, grabbing the injection from the nearby table and holding it out.
 “No!” Nowi cries, recoiling as if struck. “You’ve killed people before! You do it!”
 “I’ve never killed people by sticking giant needles into their cranial cavities,” Lon’qu says, an edge of discomfort in his voice.
 “Excuses, excuses!” Nowi says shrilly, attempting to push away the needle that Lon’qu still holds out to her.
 “One of you is going to do it or I’m coming up there,” Robin threatens in a voice so stern and threatening that only a mother can really manage it.
 With a shudder, Lon’qu jams the needle in. Nowi spins around, making gagging noises.
 “Worst job ever! Worst job ever!” she cries, not even looking at the garbage bag that she holds out for Lon’qu to deposit the evidence into.
 “Hey, guys!” Gaius opens the door and pokes his head in. “Which hospital gown should I wear? Dead inside off green, or borrowed time rose gold?”
 “Pink! Pink!” Nowi replies.
 “Really? I thought the green brings out my eyes better.”
 “Just pick a dress and put it on,” Lon’qu deadpans, brushing past him into the hallway.
 “Norris is here,” Robin reports. “Get in position.” She steps forward with Olivia, shaking hands with both Norris and the doctor he’s brought with him. “A pleasure,” she smiles once introductions have been made. “Shall we?”
 A few minutes later they stand in front of the glass window as Gaius is shown in by a rather disgruntled looking nurse Lon’qu. He looks blankly ahead as he is directed to the bed.
 “That’s Sain Kent?” Norris peers inside as his doctor preps the computer to receive the scans.
 “Yes,” Robin replies. “Poor guy.”
 They watch in silence as Gaius is laid down on the bed, then slid inside.
 “I’ve got our other brain scanning in here,” Nowi reports from the room next door. “And we’re sending you our other brain… now!”
 “Well… what do you think, doctor?” Robin asks the balding man Norris brought with him.
 “Oh, he’s terminal alright,” he replies, leaning forward to better view the screen. “It’s almost too large to believe… he has weeks left; a month at best.”
 “There you have it,” Robin says to Norris after the doctor had been thanked and sent on his way. Norris smiles, half chuckling as he stands in a quiet hallway facing Robin and Olivia.
 “I had my doubts, but yeah,” Norris concedes. “So, what’s my cut?”
 “Your cut? Oh,” Robin laughs. “That’s it?”
 “Yeah, I put my money in, now I want my cut.”
 “Fine, fine,” Robin holds her hands up in surrender before pulling out her checkbook. “Gone scared on us. Can’t say I’m surprised; you don’t look like the sort willing to take a risk. Let’s see, first stage investor?” Robin pauses to give Norris an appraising look. “One hundred grand?”
 “What is wrong with you?!” Gaius howls from over the coms. Robin doesn’t even flinch.
 “This just might work out after all,” Norris whistles, looking up only just in time for Olivia to recover from her grimace.
 “Yes,” Olivia chuckles woodenly. “With this money you could even start your own company and leave your father entirely.”
 “Yeah,” Norris says, perking up. “Yeah, it would be easy. I just need to move some accounts around and—”
 “What?” Robin cuts in, flinching away. “Moving some—moving accounts? What sort of… who do you think we are? We don’t operate this way!” She whirls on Olivia as she throws her hands up in the air. “What is this nonsense? Who did you bring me to?”
 “You don’t understand, I just—”
 “No, you don’t understand,” Robin interrupts Norris, turning away to storm down the hallway. “I can’t help you, sir. You just don’t get it. It’s fine. Keep the money. We don’t need you.”
 “What is she…?” Norris looks helplessly to Olivia.
 “It’s okay, it’s okay, I’ll talk to her,” Olivia says hurriedly before rushing after Robin.
 “I want serious investors, Florina!”
 “Lyn, a word?” Olivia chases Robin around the corner into one of the dark hospital rooms.
 Robin is met with three intense glares as soon as the door is closed securely behind them.
 “I know,” she says evenly, not intimidated in the least. “Save it until we’re back to the hotel.”
 She receives nothing but more stony glares as she leads her team back to the van.
 ○
 Nowi immediately races to her laptop as soon as she steps foot inside the hotel room.
 “I’ll have the payment canceled in a jiffy!” she announces with forced cheerfulness amidst the general animosity directed towards Robin.
 Robin, for her part, remains unfazed, already reaching for a bottle and glass.
 “Just let it go,” she remarks, settling down in a chair as Gaius stalks over to her, brows angled downward over his narrowed eyes.
 “Let me just get this straight so you get how stupid you are, Bubbles. We had half a million dollars, and you tossed that away. That’s enough on its own. Now you’re offering up a hundred grand of our money. Our money.”
 “Please, you know how this works. It’s just a stall.”
 “You use a stall when you have someone on the hook.”
 “Guys, please. I know what I’m doing. You’ve got to trust me. You’ve trusted me before.”
 “Not when you’re drunk like this,” Lon’qu cuts in.
 Robin pauses for a long moment, matching Lon’qu’s look with one of her own. She sighs when he shows no signs of backing down.
 “Please,” she scoffs, aiming to play it off when no other argument can be found.
 “Robin…” Olivia starts uncertainly.
 “Listen,” Gaius cuts in, pacing back over. “You’re welcome to drink yourself into a stupor for all I care, but I’m not going down with you.”
 “Pfft,” Robin tips her glass back with a snort. “I shouldn’t be surprised. You’re all exactly the same as you were before. Always caring about nothing but yourselves.”
 “I need to speak to Robin alone!” Olivia blurts out suddenly, standing between Robin and the others.
 “Good luck with that, Twinkletoes,” Gaius mutters, shoving a chair aside roughly on his way out. Lon’qu and Nowi follow him in similar humors.
 Olivia moves only once they are alone, turning around to face Robin in silence. Robin rolls her eyes, swirling her glass around moodily.
 “You’d better not give me some kind of ‘but we’re all family’ speech.”
 “No speeches,” Olivia shakes her head, looking down pensively for a long moment before raising her gaze to look at Robin’s eyes. “Just… a question: is this helping you?”
 Robin silently watches her bourbon swish around in her glass.
 “I-if you help Donny and his mother to keep their home and stay together, will you find some peace?”
 “Olivia, you know me,” Robin says, though she finds herself unable to meet Olivia’s eyes. “You know I can do this.”
 “I knew you two years ago, Robin.”
 “I’m still the same person.”
 “N-no. No, you’re not.”
 Robin pauses, at last tearing her eyes away from her glass to look at Olivia. The usual pity is gone from her eyes, replaced by a grim sort of acceptance. Robin lets out a sigh, feeling those two years all too well as their weight settles down in her bones.
 “No, I’m not.”
 They lapse into silence, neither one wanting to broach all of the unspoken thoughts and questions hanging between them. It’s Olivia who breaks the spell, averting her eyes as her cheeks flush pink.
 “…Sorry.”
 “It’s fine,” Robin says, though she feels far from it.
 “I-I’ll… let you sleep.”
 Olivia slips out of the room as silent as a ghost. Robin watches her glass of bourbon again for a few moments before setting it down on the counter. Slipping off her shoes, she shuffles over to the bed and falls face first into the pillow.
