Moonlit Alliances CH2

JJ takes a deep swig from his bottle, the bitter tang of beer mingling with the salty air of the marsh. He leans heavily against the wooden railing, eyes fixed on the horizon where the sun is just beginning to peek above the earth, heralding the dawn of a new day. In a few short hours, he will be leaving the familiar confines of Outer Banks, embarking on a two-day journey across the country to California.

The thought alone is enough to send a shiver down his spine. To say he isn’t frightened would be a lie. The idea of adventure calls to him — the promise of hidden treasures, the mystery of werewolves, the thrill of protecting his friends, and the intoxicating rush of adrenaline. Yet, amidst the excitement, a part of him yearns to remain, to cling to the safety and comfort of home.

His friends are his anchor, his constant in a sea of chaos. The thought of losing them is unbearable. They’re always dancing on the edge, and JJ feels the constant pressure to keep them safe. It’s like he’s the only thing standing between his friends and a world full of threats. But even with his tough exterior, JJ knows he can’t be everywhere at once; danger has a way of popping up when you least expect it. High school was a battle he barely made it through, so the idea of tackling college? That’s a whole new level of game. He’s painfully aware of his own struggles, and the last thing he wants is to be the new guy in town, fumbling around while everyone watches and whispers. It’s enough to make anyone nervous.

Lost in his thoughts, JJ barely registers the gentle pressure of arms encircling his waist from behind. He turns within Kiara’s embrace, their lips meeting in a kiss that speaks volumes more than words ever could. A smile graces his features, a silent testament to the depth of his love for her.

A Room of One's Own

"A Room of One's Own" by Virginia Woolf explores the world of female novelists, emphasizing the importance of financial independence and personal space for women to freely express their ideas.

I personally enjoyed a lot her reflexions about both sexes, and how she talks diferently about men and women, and their diferent grade of dificulties in order to make themselves a name in the novelism world.

I also liked a lot her references to some of the most famous and important female autors, with whom without their work and constant dedication, we, women, woudn't be where we are now in the literary world.

I give it 4 stars, because there were moments of confusion and deviation from the main topic, making it challenging to follow at times, although I think we can blame It on the writing style from back then.

Nevertheless, it's a book with valuable reflections that every women should read at least once in their life.

Omega!Ghost X Omega!Soap

Part 4

Warnings/Content: miscommunication, hurt/comfort, they talk about things, fluff, kissing, omegaverse, some sexual content

There will be more sexual content next part. Just little bits, I’m not going to go into a lot of detail. However, I will possibly make this and post it on AO3. If I do, then I’ll make the content more detailed^^

Ghost was standing in the doorway. Johnny sat up and rubbed his eyes. “Ghost?” That sound got louder as Ghost got closer to the bed. He grabbed Johnny’s arm and pulled him up and out of the nest. He pushed Johnny against the wall, growling in his ear.

“Ghost what the hell are ya doin?” Johnny asked in slight surprise and fear. Ghost doesn’t speak just looks over at the nest and then to Johnny. He closed his eyes and clenched his fists. “Out.” Ghost says through clenched teeth. “Wha- ghost…Simon.” Johnny is confused. “I said *out*!” Simon roared and Johnny froze before slinking away from Ghost and out of the room.

Ghost grumbled as he walked over to his nest and fixed it. Ghost hated his nest being messed with, childhood trauma thing. It was always something he kept from his father who always would find it and destroy it, so ghost was always super protective of his nest, especially when it comes to someone new resting in it. But Johnny wasn’t new, he was just new to the home. Ghost knew him. Simon knew him. That’s when he realized he fucked up. He groaned and dreaded going out the door and not seeing Johnny anymore.

Luckily, Johnny stayed, a little shaken up but he stayed since he didn’t understand and he truly wanted to understand. When he saw ghost get out of the room he stood from where he was sitting. Walking over to Simon almost cautiously. Johnny opened his mouth to speak only to be interrupted by Simon’s quick, “I apologize.” Which Johnny was surprised by. “No need. I sort of understand why you did that.” Simon nodded not wanting to talk anymore. He was tired so he just opened his arms looking at Johnny expectantly.

“Alright ya big lug.” Johnny smiled and went into the other’s arms, instantly Ghost moved and buried his nose in Johnny’s neck. Loving the faint scent there. “Oi, don’t be sniffin’ there like a dog.” Johnny says, accent thick. Simon ignores him and in retaliation he growls and licks at the patched scent gland.

Johnny gasps and gets closer to Simon. He gets closer to Simon’s scent glands and smell his dull scent but it made Johnny melt. The scent was perfect for him. “Your scent is perfect Simon.” Johnny says to which Simon huffs and shook his head. “Not perfect, dull.” Johnny shook his own head and huffed, mocking Simon. “Perfect Ghost. Perfect.”

A few hours later

Johnny and Simon were curled in Simon’s nest. Johnny woke up to a sweet scent but it had the scent of ash or a burning apple cinnamon candle to dull the sweetness. He looks up at Simon and sees the sweat that had pooled around his forehead and neck, it then clicked in Johnny’s mind on why Simon took a whole month off. Ghosts Heat.

Ghost was curled against Johnny’s side, sooner or later Simon began rubbing his hips against Soaps leg. Unconsciously since he was asleep and instincts won over him. Johnny didn’t mind though since he liked Simon. He never would admit it since Simon was his superior but he didn’t care about that in the moment with Simon’s hardening length running against his leg.

Simon mumbled something in his sleep and soon stirred awake. Hips still moving slowly, searching for the pleasure. When he became conscious over the fact that he was rutting against Johnny’s leg he abruptly stopped and pulled away, despite his inner omega whining at the loss of contact…

“I’m so fucking sorry Johnny.” Simon’s voice was rough but sounded genuine. Johnny just waved him off, “yer fine. It’s instinct, I don’ mind.” Johnny answers honestly. Simon just nods and sighs before getting up. “I’m going to be in the shower for a few. Can you make sure water is stocked? I get fucking thirsty during my heats.” Simon says as he began to sit up. Groaning as he had to adjust his hard on in his pants.

“I gotcha. Need anything just call for me.” Johnny says which Simon nods and goes to the bathroom to take care of his problem.

However, one problem will be resolved, only for a few more to show up.

I remember it feeling exactly the same (as last year) And that definitely was not a great feeling. I really had high hopes. I'm sure there were frustrations, because I had asked for certain changes, and they weren't done.

Having the experience of the previous year, I just applied myself, in terms of digging down, sitting with the guys. We were having much better meetings. I was able to stay a lot more positive during the year and be like: 'It's going to be a long season, but let's not give up. Let's keep pushing towards getting the maximum out of the car, whatever that may be.'

I think we understand the car so much better. They have developed great tools in the background. So, naturally, I'm hopeful. But I'm not going to hold my breath. - LH

Five-Star Reads

I see folks all over social media giving their list of the best books they read in 2023. I decided to do mine here. If you read this and are inclined to post your own list, please tag or repost me so I can add your recs to my TBR. Because what good is a TBR unless it's so huge that you will literally never be able to read all of them? And if we're all reposting and adding to the list.... imagine how many recommendations that will be. *cackles with glee*

Secret Service by Tal Bauer. Listen. Just pack up all your belief and suspend the hell out of it. Then sit back and let this happen to you. It's a fun, sexy ride, and we will need to talk about that airplane scene afterward.

The Rest of the Story by Tal Bauer. If you are a fan of found family and hockey boyfriends, get on this book ASAP. I literally finished it and went back to page 1 to read it again.

Never Stay Gone by Tal Bauer. Look, I promise it's not all Tal Bauer books, but I can't not put this one on here too, ya'll. It's cowboys. And a murder mystery. And a second-chance romance. AND COWBOYS.

Melting by Sean Ashcroft. See? Not all Tal Bauer books. This is a low-angst, fluffy, hug of a novel. If you're looking for a comfort read, this is a great contender.

Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid. This was a reread. We're not going to discuss the number of times I've reread it. If you haven't had the pleasure, you need to make it a priority. Enemies to lovers, hockey boyfriends, a hot Russian, and epic love story. Get reading.

Until I Saw You by Dianna Roman. A man who's recently lost his sight falls for his new caretaker, who has secrets of his own. Angsty hurt-comforty goodness of the first order.

The Seven of Spades series by Cordelia Kingsbridge. A detective and a bounty hunter chase a serial killer and each other. My reading group had a TIME as we tore these up, reading as fast as we could.

Like Real People Do by E.L. Massey. There are three books in this series so far and you are going to eat them up and ask for more. Cute. Sweet. Adorable. Funny. Heartfelt. Great banter. These are going to become your new comfort hyperfixation.

Please feel free to come yell at me here or in my DMs if you read any of these. I love when people love things I love. And I hope your 2024 is full of love and light.

After Carmy leaves the pantry, Mikey breaks down in tears and slaps himself in the face. Was that on the page?

A lot of it was scripted. It’s a real testament to Chris, who wrote the episode. When he leaves him there, 99.9 shows out of 100, as soon as Carmy leaves that pantry, you go with Carmy. To stay on Mikey and be with him, it defies so much of how we do television, in terms of perspective and whose point of view we’re really looking at. It’s a private moment with this character that we know doesn’t exist. They give him two — the moment that he’s sitting there waiting for him, suggesting that he’s feeling the buzz of the pills that he just took, but more importantly, afterward: They leave him there to sit in that pain, and to show it. That moment was understanding that this dream was never going to happen, this was never going to work because he knew where he was headed. He knew where he was going.

Opportunities like that are so unbelievably rare to give characters that private moment. I do think Chris wrote the slap. It was just so, so beautifully written and makes it makes the job super easy.

How did you create that tension with Bob Odenkirk, and what conversations were had before that?

The power of an ensemble, like the power of theater, is you look around that table and everybody is just a thoroughbred. The tension is created in the room. Every time we went and did it, it was completely different — a new person sort of popped up and did this new bubble of intensity or dread. It was super fucking tense in there, because everybody came to play and everybody really knows what they’re doing. And the material is so gorgeous.

With Bob, I’m such a huge fan of his. I thought it was just such a perfect choice. He was so down to come at me, and vice versa! When you have an environment like that, everyone is willing to be a little bit dangerous, because there’s so much trust. There’s so much love and everybody’s so dedicated. The goal starts to then be, OK, how can I shock this person? How can I scare this person? How can I do something that they’ll never expect? How can I lose myself within this? When you create an atmosphere that’s that unbelievably creative and that unbelievably safe, danger is not a hard thing to find. It was really fun! It was like great theater work, and it’s really rare.

How many times did you film that scene? I imagine it may be a bit exhausting.

I would do that all day. I don’t really get exhausted, that’s like a thrill for me. The show moves unbelievably fast. It’s a real testament to what this group has found: the conglomeration, the alchemy of these great artists with this great material. Last year, I had to shoot my stuff basically on my lunch break. They flew out to L.A. for me to shoot that scene. And they told me, “We move so fast.” I don’t think there was a single day that we were there for more than six hours. [Chris Storer] gets what he wants. He shoots it the right way. The crew is as good as I’ve ever worked with. Everyone is so unbelievably dialed in. The cameras are always moving. They’re totally alive.

You said every take was different. How much improv was there — was the table flip scripted? And what type of forks were you using?

They were kind of like plastic forks? Oh, the table flip definitely wasn’t scripted. But it’s still a testament to Chris. I was like, “Hey, man, you gotta let me kind of go crazy at least once!” I do a lot of action stuff and I’m aware of how big of a reset that it is, where the food is meticulously laid out and it’s so specific and is a character within itself. He definitely gave me the green light. It’s funny when you work with directors, especially in TV, because sometimes they’ll give you the green light, but then be like, “Just maybe save it ’til the end.” Chris was like, “Go do you.” I think the funnest thing for me really, in that scene, was to be off camera and just to keep that intensity, keep that fight going with Bob and see everybody else’s reaction. It was just such a joy to do.

I put on subtitles for some of my second watch, especially the scene with you, Ebon and Jeremy talking about Claire. Your one-liners were cracking me up. Did you say she’s a “basket of biscuits”?

Yeah, “all that and a basket of biscuits” is a Jon Bernthal D.C. line for me. That was definitely one that I threw in. When Chris is behind the monitor, they’re cheering you on, sometimes they’re yelling lines from behind the monitors. It’s this comedic, super dark, really, really authentic and honest world. There’s this air of anything can happen and let’s push it, come up with stuff and be really, really creative. And honor the moment. It really is the best way to work. And with Ebon, it’s such a natural conversation for us. We really found that scene on the day.
