Series Masterlist ~ Main Masterlist

After opening up the season with a couple of wins, the Steelers got ready to hit the road to New Orleans. Becca was in her office, writing emails back to the press requesting interviews or comments on the team when a knock on the door pulled her focus. She looks up to see her father in her doorway. “You need something Dad?”

“Just checking to see how the media is doing.”

“They have a lot of requests for interviews with Coach, Ben, TJ and the big three.”

“Big three?”

“Chris, Sebastian and Anthony. The big three.”

“Ah. Well, I’m sure you will make the right choices.”

“I will.” She turned back to her work. Rich loitered for a moment. “What?”

“Becca, I know you are angry…”

“I get it. You want to protect me. But you don’t even know him.”

“He’s a football player. That’s enough.”

“He’s not Tom. And it doesn’t matter anyways because you scared him off. The first guy who was interested not just in me but Charlie too.” Becca turned away, refusing to cry.

“Sweetheart…”

“Just go Dad. I have a meeting.” She wiped under her eyes and grabbed her purse.

“Meeting with who?”

“The attorneys. I got a petition from Tom about visitation.”

“Do you want me to go with you?”

“No.”

“Rebecca…”

“Save it. I’m a big girl.”

Becca drove to the office, and parked, sitting in her car trying to calm herself. Her phone pinged and she looked to see what it was and smiled.

C: I miss you

B: miss you too

C: tonight?

B: maybe. Have to see how this meeting goes

C: can’t believe he’s doing this.

B: neither can I

Becca walked into her lawyer’s office, Downey and Associates. Robert Downey Jr. is the best Pittsburgh has to offer. He was in the lobby, waiting for her. “Rebecca.”

“Becca, how many times must we do this Rob?”

“Kid, I’ve known you since you were yay high,” motioning to his hip. “I can call you whatever I want.” He embraces the girl. “Let’s get started.” He led her to his office. “Coffee, water, shot?”

“Funny.” She sat in one of the office chairs across from the desk. “Just tell me.”

“Tom is petitioning.”

“You said. Visitation, right?”

“Custody.”

“Excuse me?”

“Tom is petitioning for full custody of Charlotte.”

Becca is stunned into silence. She stared blankly at Robert. “Custody?”

Robert sits next to her. “Hey, focus on me.” She looks at him. “Good Now breathe.” She inhales a deep breath and releases it slowly. “Good. Becca, we are gonna fight this. He’s barely a presence in Charlie’s life. Does she even know who he is?”

“No, she doesn’t. When he denied us, I never told her about her dad and she doesn’t ask.”

“That’s good,” Robert began to pace in his office. “I’m still trying to figure out what set him off.”

“Probably seeing me with Chris Evans,” she replied.

“Evans? The new quarterback?”

“That would be the one.” Becca drew up her knees in the chair. “Robert, what is he trying to do?”

“I think he is aiming for shared custody but going full out. Its odd. Has he communicated with you?”

“No. Well,” she thought back, “he went to the diner before the season started. Said he wanted to visit with Charlie. I told him to go through out attorneys. Then he asked why Chris got to develop a relationship with her. I may have snapped.”

Robert paced around for a moment before sitting. “Ok, from now on, do not engage with Tom in any way shape or form. If he reaches out to you, you forward it to me.” He clasped his hands together. “Does your father know about Evans?”

“No. And I would like to keep it that way.”

“Alight. Attorney-client privilege it is. Becca, you have to know that this might come out during the hearings.”

“I know. Please Robert, I just want to be happy, and Chris makes me happy. He loves Charlie and Charlie loves him.”

“I will do everything we can. But please be open minded. We may have to concede shared custody. Tom is unfortunately a good father with his other children.”

As Becca drove away from Robert’s office, she thought about her history with Tom. How charming he had been, sweet, kind and gentle. She shook her head. Once he found out about the pregnancy, he had turned cruel, saying Becca was just trying to use him for money.

The first hot tear rolled down her face when he remembered his words.

You were nothing but a good time. But I’m not the father so you can just fucking leave.

She wasn’t paying attention to where she was going until she parked. She looked up to see that she was at Chris’s house. She got out and ran to the front door, hitting the bell frantically. When Chris opened the door, she was a mess of tears, mascara running, hyperventilating. “Becca?” He pulled her to him as she started to sob.

Chris picked her up and carried her to the couch. He cradled her as she sobbed into his chest. He whispered comforting words, stroking her back, kissing her hair. As she calmed, he moved to cup her face and wipe her tears away. “Angel, tell me what’s wrong.”

“Tom wants full custody of Charlie.” Her lower lip trembled. “He wants to take my baby girl from me.” That set her off again.

“Hey, hey, breathe Angel. That is not going to happen, ok.”

“But he petitioned and…”

“No, Becca, we are going to fight this.”

Becca looked back at him, “We?”

“Yes, we. Becca I am in this with you, ok? If we are in a relationship, then I will stand by your side. No one is going to take Charlie from you.”

Becca snuggled into Chris. “Thank you.”

“No need to thank me, Angel. I’ll always be here for you.“

They sat like that for a moment before Becca squirmed in Chris’s lap. “I need to get going. I have to pack.”

“You coming with the team to the Big Easy?”

“Someone has to keep you guys in line. Lord knows Ben doesn’t do it.”

Chris smiled, “Do you think we could have a date while we are over there?”

“Chris….”

“We can go somewhere off the main drag and have dinner. Just you and me, Angel.”

Becca looks at him as he gives her a puppy dog look. She sighs, “fine, ok, yes, I would love to go on a date with you.”

Chris pumped his fist in the air. “Yes!” He leaned in and kissed Becca hard. Becca came away giggling. “Ok, I’ll see you on the plane. “

*~**~*

New Orleans is known for two things, Mardi Gras and football. Pittsburgh rolls in, a rare meeting in the Big Easy but Chris is pumped. Landing in New Orleans, he, Sebastian and Anthony head out to the town after checking into the hotel. Laughing and enjoying themselves, they find a table in the back of a bar.

“Chris, how are things with Becca?” Anthony asks, sipping his beer.

“They’re good. I mean, she and I and Charlie are good. That kid is nothing but energy. Dodger sleeps like a baby every time they are over. It’s good.” Chris takes a swig of his beer.

“I, uh, heard about the custody hearing,” Sebastian said, not looking at Chris.

“Lizzy?”

“Yeah. She mentioned Becca had the girls over and she was crying. Heard her dad is livid right now.”

“Yeah, I know. She came to me right after she saw her attorney.” Chris leaned his head back. “Brady is playing a dangerous game.”

“Chris, you can’t let it get to you. You have to focus. We meet the Patriots in three weeks.”

“I know that. But I want nothing more than to protect Becca and Charlie from that asshole.”

“I appreciate that Chris,” Anthony replies. “We both do. But you also have the team to think about. Not to mention what happens if Brady orders a hit on you.”

“He’s a dick but I don’t think he would take it that far.”

“Just, be careful,” Sebastian says. “Love can make people do stupid things, but jealousy can make you do psychotic things.”

Chris thought about what Sebastian said. He was crazy in love with Becca, that much was obvious but the nagging feeling that Tom was not done with Becca was not lost on him. He glanced at his watch. “Sorry to cut and run but I need to get ready for a date.”

Becca was slipping on her heels when she heard a knock on the door. She checked the mirror one more time before she opened the door. There stood Chris, his six foot frame completely in black, the shirt had a couple of buttons open on top, his dark hair styled back. Becca swallowed. “H-Hi.”

“Angel, wow. You look gorgeous.” She was wearing a black mini dress that hugged her curves, deep v and a flared skirt that finished just above her knee. New Orleans was still warm in October, so her legs were naked until they got to her heels. “Now I’m not so sure if I want to show you off or keep you here and peel that dress off of you.” Chris licked his lips as he continued to stare.

Becca flushed. She looked down to hide it, but Chris lifted her chin. “You look beautiful.” He placed a soft kiss on her lips. “C’mon, let me feed you and then we can come back here.”

“Okay.” She grabbed her clutch and they headed out into the night. Chris never let go of Becca’s hand, taking comfort in the warmth, her small hand engulfed in his. They made it to a small café away from the main part of New Orleans. They were seated in the back. The menu was traditional creole but elevated. “Did you research this?”

“I did,” Chris replied with a twinkle. “It had the best reviews, and it was away from everything so we could have some privacy.” He took her hand. “I know you are worried, but I wanted this for us.”

Becca smiled. They ordered and talked about everything, how Charlie was doing in school, what the social media plan was for the Steelers, how practice was going. They only avoided talking about Tom and the upcoming custody hearing. Tonight wasn’t about that. It was about them.

After paying and leaving the restaurant, Chris and Becca walked around a little community garden, never letting their hands go, still talking. “Would it be wrong to say that I see a future with you?" Becca asked.

“Why would it be wrong?” Chris turned to face Becca.

“I dunno. We haven’t been together long. We’ve only known each other for six months. But every night,” she looks up at him, “every night I dream about us and our family. And it scares me, Chris. Because it feels so right.”

“Are you worried that I’ll walk away from this? That I might leave?”

“A little. My life, my whole world is in Pittsburgh. But I know, as crazy as it sounds, I would follow you anywhere.”

“Rebecca, you aren’t alone.” Chris tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “I’ve told you before that you and Charlie are it for me. You are endgame. Angel, I have the same dreams too. Eventually, we will tell your family that we are together, and everything will be fine. I promise.”

“I just don’t want to see your dream taken away Chris.”

“My dream is you, Angel. You and Charlie and Dodger. Us, together.”

Becca stares into his eyes, his blue drowning her in his honesty. “I – I think I love you Chris.” She bit her bottom lip as she looks down, blushing at her confession.

Chris tilted her head to look at him. He pulled her bottom lip from her teeth. “I know I’m in love with you Becca.”

“Really?” Her eyes started to shiny from the tears forming.

“Really. I love you Becca.”

“I love you too Chris.” She reached up to kiss him and he pulled her close, a hand in her hair and the other on her back.

Just two kids in love.

With a photographer to capture it all.

*~**~*

The game was back and forth, and Chris was doing everything he could. But the Saints weren’t backing down. His fourth sack of the game left him sore. There was only ten seconds left on the clock and the Steelers were down by four. They needed the touchdown for the win. Chris called the play and Sebastian and Ju-Ju lined up on one side while Chase Claypool lined up on the other. Anthony was behind Chris for the fake handoff.

“Blue 42, Blue 42, hut hut!” Chris was hiked the ball and completed the fake before see Chase wide open. He launched it, getting knocked down in the process but he watched as the ball slipped through Chase’s hands as time expired. He put his head down and laid on the turf for a moment.

They lost.

He lost.

His first loss in the NFL.

It hurt. His lineman, DeCastro reached over to help him up. “Its ok Chris. It happens.”

“I know.” Chris walked to congratulate Jameis Winston and then walked off the field. The locker room is subdued with quiet interviews happening as the rest of the guys change and head to the buses. Chris took a moment and head his cell phone ring. “Hello?”

“Chris, its Becca’s mother, Avery.”

“Hi Mrs. Rooney.”

“Avery, please. Umm, I got your number from Becca. I need your help. Charlie, she watched the game, and she is very upset.”

“Oh. Ok, can I talk to her?”

“I’m sorry I know this must be the last thing you need.”

“Its ok Avery.” He heard the phone move before a small sniffle was heard. “Charlie?”

“Chris. Are you ok?”

“I’m ok munchkin.” He heard her wail. “Tell me what’s wrong.”

“We lost and I saw you get tackled and you didn’t get up,” she wailed.

“I’m ok sweetheart. It happens. We can’t win every game.” He continued to listen to her cry. “Listen munchkin, how about when I get home, we go for some ice cream. You, me, your mama, Anthony, Sebastian?”

“You promise?”

“I promise. I love you Charlie.”

“I love you too Chris.” Chris leaned back in his chair, heartbroken at the cries of his little girl. The thought shook him. Charlie was his little girl. She took his heart and held in her tiny hands along with her mama. Now all he wanted was to get back to her, to them and hold them close. His little family.

Considering Story and Iris aren’t talking and the holiday season is upon us, how is Christmas going to be like? Will Ransom and kitten invite Iris to spend the holidays with all of the family reunited or will they do separate things to avoid drama?

You know what Kitten's favorite holiday is? Christmas. It was the first holiday she spent with Ran as a family. They have their sweet little traditions, and Kitten knows how much Iris is struggling in general, but also with Story. Kitten finally sits down to talk with Iris candidly, because she wants ALL her kids under the same roof. She loves having a big enough home to house all these people.

Pairings: The Drysdale's

Rating: a bit of angst but fluff

Warnings: Kitten Drysdale, mentions of Story's life/abuse/drug use/abortion, mentions of anxiety/depression, 18+ ONLY

Desperate Love Masterlist

The moment Iris walks in she stops seeing Story smiling talking with TJ, and Dayton's arm wrapped around her waist while he gives her a sweet kiss. A whole four and half months pregnant, knowing what they're going to have and everything. And Iris's posture changes. Story doesn't notice her or the family. James gives her a quick kiss and whispers in her ear. But seeing her tense up you walk to her. "I don't know if I can do this."

"Sweetheart, I'm not asking you to be best friends with her. I'm asking you just to be here. You don't have to talk to her."

Her breathing picks up when Story herself puts her hand on her stomach. Her fingers moving Dayton's had around in hopes he can feel Otto kick. Dodger's nose nudges at Iris's hands and you pull her away from the situation. Backing her up hoping that no one sees her. Picking a hand up you place it on your heart. "Just breathe, Icy. In and out," your voice as soothing as you can get it, and her eyes finally focus as she evens out her breathing.

"She has everything I want."

"I assure you Iris, you have everything she wants," Iris shakes her head and you pull her into the kitchen. Telling James to go on with Posie. "What makes you think she has everything?"

"She's having a baby with the man she loves," you tilt your head at her, wanting to tell her how Story had been feeling. How she had been feeling more conflict the moment that Carter walked back in her life. "He's here with her."

"He's on the road a lot."

"He wasn't held prisoner and never got to feel her."

You pull Iris close to you, enveloping her in a hug. Iris spends so much time trying to be perfect, everyone has forgotten that she hasn't fully healed from Posie's pregnancy. "I know, Icy. James missed out on all of that with you. And if I could change that for the two of you, I would in a heart beat. I had traumatic pregnancies too. They were different, but still traumatic. I'm not trying to make you understand Story's side, because in time you two will be fine. But her life is far from perfect. You'll see. I know you think she loves him, she barely knows him."

"And gets pregnant again. At least with Carter she knew him her whole life."

"Do you blame her pregnancies only on her?"

Iris licks her lips and watches the very person they're talking about, Carter Baizen walk into the estate. His smiling face walks past the two of you and into the formal living room with everyone else. "She's the one who laid down with the two of them unprotected."

"With Carter it was an honest mistake. With Dayton, yes they had responsibilities. But that's it Iris, they. It's not just your sister's fault. They were all willing participants."

"Everything just comes so easy to her," you scoff at her. "What?"

"You're mixing how charming she is with coming easy to her. Do you not remember how much she struggled in school? How many times she called herself the dumb Drysdale? Story is charming. She lights up a room when she's happy and people love her for that. You put too much pressure on yourself to be perfect, but things come easy to you."

"Mama, she's pregnant with a man she barely knows, and I am with the man I've loved since before I could talk, and I just can't. How is that fair?"

You push back the baby hairs around the perimeter of her hairline. "Infertility isn't fair baby. You deserve all the babies you want with James. You're an amazing mom and wife, and I know you want to give him that. Iris, he's not mad at you. He loves the family you have right now. Enjoy him and your beautiful daughter and stop worrying so much."

"It's hard, after all she did, and she's got what I want."

"You know she was in love with Carter? She didn't date when she was younger, because 'none of them compared to Sir Lancelot'. She hid what she considered the best thing in her life because she didn't want to upset your dad. She got pregnant, he left her and wasn't returning any calls or texts. She made the decision without him to get an abortion. His family barged in our home, told you dad that not only had her and Carter had a relationship, but she was pregnant. They told us that Carter was getting a house to move her in. She told your dad, his parents and Carter at the same time she had an abortion. And then Carter said it meant nothing. Iris I held your sister because she couldn't stand. That was the start of her downfall. Now tell me when you look at your sister tonight if she's got it easy. She doesn't love Dayton yet. She still loves Carter."

"Twitter and Instagram shows her happy."

"Baby, I know you're not meaning the words you're saying. Because after those videos, do you really think your sister wanted her body on display like that? He didn't ask her if that post was okay. She's suffering from severe anxiety, and now she can't go into the city with someone watching her. Those people online wrote vile things about a girl they didn't even know. Called her a whore and a gold digger."

"Why is she taking naked photos with her and her boyfriend?"

"Because they had sex," Iris turns to look away from you, staring only at Dodger. "I'm sure she agrees now taking a photo after her and Dayton had sex was stupid. But I highly doubt she ever though that he would make that photo public. Do you and James not have intimate photos? I know your father has plenty. That's how I ended up with you and Aster. You two are more alike than you realize."

"Don't compare me to her."

"You know if Story could take it back she would. She never would have asked to wound up where she did. Never would have wanted to bounce from man to man trying to numb her pain with drugs, and wind up with a man who sells her on the weekly. She made mistakes, and she's paying for those mistakes. She's trying to find happiness where she can and at least Dayton is a good man, but it's not who she loves. Now, I want you to sit with your husband and daughter, Dodger close by, while we watch It's a Wonderful life. You don't have to look at her, you don't have to talk to her, but I want my whole family under the same roof like always. I don't want you, James, or Posie to miss out on our traditions."

"Mrs. Drysdale?" you turn to see another one. "Where is it I need to go?"

"You could always follow the noise, but just walk straight down the hall. We're about to go into the theater room to watch a movie, Nate. Then after, a small dinner," he gives you his thanks before walking down the hall. Iris raises an eyebrow at you. "Nate was very helpful to your sister."

"Is he staying through Christmas too?"

"No, he's her for the night, so says Story. Maybe him and Carter should share a room?"

"Always a hoard of men after her, huh?"

"You sound jealous," she actually gives you a bit of a laugh. "Don't envy your sister. She would trade lives with you. I'm not saying what you went through was easy. I'm saying that you married your Prince Charming. You have a husband that adores you, a beautiful home, a gorgeous daughter."

"I saw Dayton's home on television. It's not too shabby."

"You're focusing on the material things, dear. That's not what Story is envious about. Come on though. I wanna watch mine and your dad's movie."

"Ugh, how many times this Christmas?"

"Everyday. Can you promise me to enjoy yourself? I want all my babies here. Even the extended ones."

You start to walk out but Iris lingers in the kitchen. Her fingers trailing along the wall until she comes to the room that her and Aster used to share. The room you brought them to the night you left Andy. "Sometimes I feel like I remember things from then. I shouldn't, and maybe it's just memories from someone else. But I swear I remember sleeping in here. Waking up to dad watching us."

"Your dad loved you before he even knew you."

"I know. I'm guessing you talked to him?" you nod your head at her. "No one will ever know what all of us went through, you know? But I'm happy with how our life turned out. I love daddy. I love Pops too, and judging from pictures..." her voice trails off because she's afraid to say it.

"Hate is a learned thing. It's not a natural feeling. And you my sweet daughter, have always been the sweetest thing. You couldn't hate anybody. Come on, Christmas movie. I need to snuggle with my husband."

Grabbing her you walk hand in hand. Her eyes flick over, and you know she sees Story in conversation with Dayton, smiling at appropriate times, but her eyes are only on Carter. And in that moment, a brick from Iris's wall was taken down. When Carter returns the look, and his eyes drift to her stomach, longing to be the one touching it, another brick is taken down. "One day at a time, sweetheart."

Fluff Alphabet | Neville Longbottom

A = Attractive (What do they find attractive about the other?)

When he first saw you, he thought you were beautiful. Though it was your smile that caught his attention and he spent many afternoons daydreaming about it, always bursting out into a violent blush when you directed a smile his way.

You loved his eyes. How they seem to twinkle when he talks about something that he’s passionate about, how they light up when he sees you.

B = Baby (Do they want a family? Why? Why not?)

Neville might want kids at some point, but he’s not in a rush and if you don’t want to have children, he wouldn’t mind either. For him, having you, your plant babies and Trevor Jr. is more than enough for him and he loves your family as is.

C = Cuddle (How do they cuddle?)

He likes to curl up against you with his head on your chest and his arms wrapped around your waist, your fingers combing through his hair.

D = Dates (What are dates with them like?)

Neville likes to plan small, quiet outings where you can both be comfortable. Often times, a picnic by the lake or walking through town and window shopping. If he wants to be romantic, he’ll dress up and cook dinner for you at home. Going all out with candles, wine, and flowers.

E = Everything (You are my _____ (e.g. my life, my world))

“You are my reason for smiling everyday.”

F = Feelings (When did they know they were in love?)

Neville fell for you so quickly and easily, he thought it was embarrassing. It was during his time at Hogwarts with you, after a particularly awful session of Potions where it seemed that Snape had it out for him - more than usual. You trailed after him, grabbing the sleeve of his robe.

“Are you okay?”

He shook his head, “I will be.”

You frowned, but tugged him along. “We’re going to the lake.“

“Why?“

“To cheer you up, of course.”

He followed after you, listening as you ranted about how awful and unprofessional Professor Snape was, with a pounding heart that was a pile of lovesick goo.

G = Gentle (Are they gentle? If so, how?)

Neville could not be rough. Even if he tried. There is not anything in his being that would permit him to be anything but gentle.

H = Hands (How do they like to hold hands?)

When you first started dating, Neville had a hard time showing affection. Not because he didn’t want to, he was just shy and awkward. And, coupled with the off-looks he received — it was awkward. However, hand holding is the first thing he got down. He loves it. Will hold your hand at every given opportunity.

I = Impression (What was their first impression?)

Neville noticed your kindness; how you stood up for others, helped them with the smallest of things...and wanted to be able to know you. He could be content with being your friend.

J = Jealously (Do they get jealous?)

He doesn’t get jealous, it’s more of a sad wallowing. His self-esteem is pretty low and you’re way out of his league, or so he thinks. Whenever someone comes along and flirts with you, rather than stepping in (he knows you can handle yourself anyway) he tends to drift away as negative thoughts plague him. You have to coax him back to you with kisses and reassurance that you love him.

K = Kiss (How do they kiss? Who initiated the first kiss?)

His kisses are soft, hesitant almost, but sweet. He has a hard time believing that you would want to be with someone like him, so he makes sure to cherish you.

You kissed him first. It was after a ‘date’ and he was walking you back to the dorms when you stopped and gave him a small peck on the lips before scurrying away. Neville’s poor heart almost gave out on the spot.

L = Love (Who says ‘I love you’ first?)

He does.

You had just moved in together, it was only a few weeks in and were planning what to put in the garden. There was so much available space and the ideas were limitless. Neville was practically heart eyes looking at you as you rambled on about how there should be different quadrants for the patches to best utilize it. You then mentioned making room for a greenhouse, knowing how much Neville adored the ones back at Hogwarts.

“Merlin, I love you.”

You look at him warmly, pressing a kiss to his cheek. “I love you too. Now, where should we put it? I think on the south side, because that area gets the most sun.”

Yes, he was in love with you.

M = Memory (What’s their favorite memory together?)

You shield your eyes, casting a look over the beach. The sun was only just beginning to rise over the horizon, a soft glow of yellow glistening over the water.

“This is perfect.” You say, grinning back at Neville. He can’t help but stare at you; seeing how the light makes your face glow, the tired but happy look in your eyes.

This is perfect.

N = Nickel (Do they spoil? Do they buy the person they love everything?)

Neville doesn’t necessarily spoil you with gifts, but with acts of services and quality time. He would rather plan an evening in with you, relaxing and romancing you than to gift you something. Although when he does, it’s thoughtful and something you thought he wouldn’t even notice.

O = Orange (What colors remind them of their other half?)

Green — he first properly talked to you in the greenhouse, during a class, and since then he’s associated green with you. Plants are his passion and he’s lucky enough to have you interested in it, even if it’s only for his sake.

P = Pet names (What pet names do they use?)

Sweetheart and darling are his go to.

Q = Quaint (What is their favorite non-modern thing?)

His grandma gave him his mother’s wedding ring and for a long time he wore it around his neck, but then he took it off one day to clean it. He thought he lost it and was in near hysterics when you got home, reassuring him as you helped him look. It was under the bed, but he realized then he wanted you to have it.

R = Rainy Day (What do they like to do on a rainy day?)

He enjoys curling up with you and just relaxing. Sometimes, you’ll watch a movie or read books, but he’s content with whatever as long as he’s in your presence.

S = Sad (How do they cheer themselves/others up?)

Whenever he feels particularly upset, Neville will go outside to the garden and spend time with the plants there. This is normal for him, but he likes the familiarity of it, how it makes him feel in control.

T = Talking (What do they like to talk about?)

He can spend hours on end just talking about plants; all the facts he knows, new and old. Telling you the proper way to handle such and so, or how some of the plants are misbehaving. When he becomes a professor, he enjoys talking about his classes and students.

U = Unencumbered (What helps them relax?)

For Neville, all he needs is some time in the greenhouse or garden and if you’re there? Perfection. Sometimes, if he’s feeling particularly stressed out, he’ll walk out to the pond that’s on your property and just sit out there for hours. That’s when you know to give him some space.

V = Victory (What is something they overcome? Are proud of?)

Neville thinks it’s a little stupid, but there used to be a plant in the garden that every season would wither away without fail. It was one of your favorites and he was determined to keep it living. And yet, nothing he did seemed to make a difference. He was doing everything right, by the textbook, and it still perished.

You had told him it was okay. But the next time he was planting seeds, he carefully placed them in a small pot and brought it inside to your bedroom — already full of plants. Every morning when he woke up he would place three drops of water, two drops of nectar, and a sprinkle of ground up cinnamon on the plant. You woke up when he let out a victorious shout months later after the same routine was followed. When you looked at him in confusion, you were shocked to see the plant fully grown looking perfect.

“You did it!” You exclaimed, tumbling out of bed to wrap him in a hug.

He grins, sweeping you off your feet in his excitement. “I did!”

W = Wild (What is a wild dream/wish/fantasy of theirs?)

Neville is content with his life, it’s turned out much better than he ever expected or hoped for, his wilder dreams are...well, we won’t say; this is the fluff Alphabet after all.

X = XOXO (Do they write love letters?)

Neville actually loves to write letters to you, so much that you’ve come to expect them for every birthday and anniversary. They’re always so sweet, tissues at the ready before you read them. You collect them all in a shoebox and Neville’s face was burning red all day when he accidentally found it.

Y = Yes (Do they ever think of getting married/proposing?)

The idea of marrying you is a dream he often has, waking up with a smile and his heart about to burst when he sees you laying across from him. However, the idea of proposing to you is terrifying and it twists his stomach into an anxious mess. He knows you love him, but would you want to marry him?

Z = Zebra (If they wanted a pet, what would they get?)

Neville gets a toad and names him Trevor Jr. and constructs an elaborate habitat for him both indoors and outdoors. You’ve walked in on him talking to TJ before while attending to his plants.

Catch Me If You Can (15/?)

298 days. That’s how long Killian Jones was away from a baseball field. It’s less than a year, only part of a season for him, but it might as well have lasted a decade as he alternated between physical therapy and spending an excessive amount of time sitting on his couch.

But then he came back and won the World Series.

It’s something no one saw coming, and it’s certainly not something anyone who knows about his arm would predict. Now it’s a new season with new possibilities, and anything could happen. On-field reporter Emma Swan will be there to cover it all even if she is not his biggest fan right now.

Asking her out live on-air will do that.

Rating: Mature

A/n: I’m currently writing the last official chapter of this story. How weird is that? I can’t believe it either...which is probably why it’s taking me forever to figure out the perfect way to end this story. Thanks to @resident-of-storybrooke for killing her eyes to read all of the words in this story 🥰

-/-

When Emma wakes up, she rolls over on her mattress and buries her face further into her pillow, kicking some of the extra throw pillows off the bed and wondering why the hell she has so many things that look cute but cannot be comfortably slept with.

Seriously.

This is all TJ Maxx’s fault, and she’d like to damn whoever decided to put a store in seven blocks from her apartment. She shouldn’t even go inside, but she does. Every. Single. Time.

(So maybe it’s a little bit her fault too.)

Finally, she finds a spot that’s comfortable, her eyes shutting and her body calming down into the softness of the mattress so that she can fall back asleep when her phone starts blaring, her alarm vibrating across the top of her bedside table, and for a moment, she considers throwing her phone out the window so that she never has to get up from bed.

She’ll get fired from her job. And probably die from bed sores or something else equally as dramatic.

It’s the first thought that has her rolling over and turning the alarm off, the shrill blaring sound going away, and her eyes have to squint at the bright light to recognize that it’s seven in the morning and she does actually have to get up for work right now.

Her job is great, but she doesn’t get weekends off like normal people. And noon games are her actual worst nightmare.

Today is a noon game. She’s also got that dinner with David, Mary Margaret, and Ruth, and she’s unnaturally nervous about it as she almost always is when it comes to Ruth.

Like a zombie, she rises from her bed and shuffles into the bathroom before making her way out to the kitchen, adjusting her shorts and the sweatshirt that she’s wearing as she stumbles into the kitchen, the smell of coffee already filling her nostrils.

“Bless you,” she mumbles to Ruby who is sitting at their kitchen table with a mug already in hand before she fixes herself her own cup, not even bothering for it to cool down much more before she takes a large sip. If only caffeine worked right away. That would be the dream. “Why do you already look so put together?”

“I always look put together.”

“Liar.”

“I couldn’t sleep last night, and when I woke up, I just kind of got up, I guess. And now I’m sitting here dying inside. At least I don’t look like I’m dying. A family of birds could live in your hair.”

“That is not true.”

“It is. Have you looked at yourself this morning?”

“Yes,” Emma lies, taking another sip of her coffee. She most definitely didn’t when she was in the bathroom, but as long as her tits aren’t showing, she doesn’t really care what she looks like at home. “And I haven’t gotten ready yet. I’ll look nicer for the game.”

“I would hope so. I don’t think that they let reporters not brush their hair and roll out onto the field in sweatshirts. Where’d you get that, by the way? I don’t recognize it.”

And while she may be half asleep and her coffee might not have an instantaneous effect, she knows that she fucked up.

She’s wearing Killian’s Vanderbilt sweatshirt. The one she keeps stealing. She’s had it in her possession for two weeks now, ever since Toronto and the morning after they slept together, and she’s been sleeping in it because it’s comfortable and kind of smells like Killian.

It definitely smells like Killian.

And Ruby can see her wearing it.

Shit.

Shit, shit, shit, no, no, no.

It’s instinct to cross her arms over her chest in an attempt to cover up the faded words all the while she tries to come up with some kind of excuse. She’s not sure that she’s ready for their friends to know about the relationship yet. A part of her definitely wants to say something, but she and Killian probably need to talk about it first.

But what if it somehow gets out past that?

What if someone besides their friends and family know? It’s too soon. It’s all too soon for that, and she just can’t right now. It’s the middle of the season, so much time left in front of them, and she can’t let anything jeopardize her career.

Emma has no idea what to do, and she’s terrified of everything crumbling beneath her.

This is the happiest she’s ever been in a relationship, and the repercussions…she doesn’t even want to imagine them.

“Uh, um,” she stutters to Ruby, making sure that her face isn’t giving away her lie, “I’m not sure. I must have swiped it from David’s house one day. You know how he’s always got sweatshirts from all over the place.”

Ruby’s eyes squint at her from over her coffee mug, and it takes everything in Emma not to bounce off the balls of her feet. All in all, it was a pretty good lie because David most definitely does have all kinds of sweatshirts from different professional teams and colleges, but this is not David’s sweatshirt.

How could she have been so careless?

Ruby is so damn observant, but there’s no way she can make the connection over a sweatshirt, right?

“I need to steal some stuff from him,” she finally sighs, going back to her coffee. “It looks so much comfier than the things Graham has. I swear, if it’s a scratchy material, he buys it.”

“At least it looks nice on him.”

“This is true, my friend. His clothes do fit him well, but you know I much prefer him without any.”

There’s a knock on the wall that’s connected to Ruby and Graham’s bedroom. “I can hear the two of you, and sweetheart, it’s too early for you to be making sex jokes about me to Emma.”

Emma has to put her coffee mug down on the countertop as she laughs, the giggles stemming from deep in her stomach. Graham is the best and usually goes along for Ruby’s antics, but sometimes it’s too damn funny when he’s asking her to stop talking.

Definitely an opposites attract pair, but they work. Really well, actually. Emma keeps waiting for Graham to tell her that he’s going to propose to Ruby, but it hasn’t happened yet.

She should probably get her own place if it does. How weird is it to live with a married couple? Like, an eight on a scale of ten? Maybe a little less when rent is so high. But definitely at least a five.

“I love you,” Ruby shouts back, knocking on the wall three times.

Graham simply knocks three times in response.

“You two are ridiculous.”

“I know, but I like to think that I bring out the ridiculous in everyone.”

“You do. What time do you want to leave for work?”

Ruby hums as she taps her chin with her perfectly manicured nail. “In an hour and a half?”

“Perfect.”

-/-

Late June in the Bronx is basically a blazing hellfire, and Emma keeps sneaking into the air-conditioned press box every chance she gets only to be sent back outside to do an interview with a player or a coach or even a kid who caught a foul ball. It’s a little ridiculous, but it’s her job so she sucks it up.

At least she’s not wearing a full-blown uniform and exercising like all of the guys are. Most of them are soaked in sweat, even the ones simply sitting in the dugout, and she does not envy them at all.

All she really envies right now are people taking a cold shower.

It’s late June. She doesn’t even want to imagine what it’s going to be like in August or September.

Killian throws another ball, and then there’s a smack of bat against ball and a white and red blur that shoots out into right field only for John Little to catch it, ending the top of the third inning and Killian’s time on the mound today. They’re all leaving for London in five days, and Al has expressly stated that they are not screwing up Killian’s arm for a game where so many people are going to be watching.

She knows that it’s more because they’re playing the Red Sox than anything else, but she doesn’t mind preserving Killian’s arm when they can. His pitches haven’t been averaging quite as fast as they usually are, but she figures it’s probably a tactical change. She’ll have to ask him about that in the locker room later.

The next two hours seem to idle by, nothing too exciting happening, and when the game is over, she moves from her press spot, flashing her ID to the guard in front of the entrance to the tunnels, and makes her way through the hallways she knows like the back of her hand until she’s in the clubhouse with Jeff following right behind her. It’s loud in there, cheers and yelling and celebrations over their win, and it takes her ten minutes before she can even get someone to talk to her, other reporters pretty much taking up everyone’s time as all of the players move into various states of undress.

“Don’t you ever get tired of talking to us?” Will asks with a cheeky grin as he brushes sweat off of his buzzed hair. “I mean, damn. I get tired of talking to us, and I actually think you may be around more than me.”

She chuckles, unable to help herself. She’s always loved Scarlet’s dry sense of humor, and he’s nearly as easy to talk to as Killian or Robin or even Eric. “To you, most definitely. But I have my favorites on the team that I like.”

“Doc? King? Locksley? Fisher? Jones? Whale? I could go all day.”

“I can’t tell you,” she teases, messing with her microphone in her hand. “You want to answer some questions for me today?”

“As long as it’s not about me getting engaged, I’m perfectly fine with that.”

“You’re engaged?” Emma gasps, covering her mouth with her hand. “That’s so exciting! How did I miss that?”

“I have no idea since you talk to my girlfriend on Instagram.”

“Technically she’s your fiancée now.”

Will smiles at that a soft little thing that’s so unlike him and yet entirely him, and it makes her smile to herself. Will and Belle are getting married. That’s wonderful, but she did tell him she wasn’t going to ask about any of it, so she doesn’t, sticking to game stats and assessments and asking how he feels about their upcoming series in London. It’s the same with everyone she talks to, and after twenty minutes in there talking and chatting, she’s finished with her work and starts undoing all of the cords attached to her as Jeff turns off his camera and walks ahead of her as they leave the room.

But then there’s a strong grip around her wrist, and she’s being pulled away and down the hallway to what is a storage locker. If she didn’t know that it was Killian tugging her along, she’d assume she was being murdered.

She still could be and boy would that be a plot twist.

“What the hell?” she gasps out on a broken breath as the door closes behind her and all she can see is Killian’s face and shower-damp hair and a shelf full of cleaning supplies that make the entire room smell like bleach. “Why are you pulling me off into storage closets?”

He smiles, this really bright and cheesy thing, before strong hands are cupping her cheeks and soft lips and prickly scruff are brushing against her mouth and her chin in a slow, pleasant burn. This is how it’s been ever since Toronto two weeks ago. They slept together, and it was like this flip switched where they absolutely could not get enough of each other.

Not that she minds.

It’s electric. Honestly and truly. If they had easier access to each other, she knows that it would be even more intense, that they would be staying overnight and moving under the sheets until she couldn’t walk the next day. That actually almost happened last week, her body so sore afterwards, and as amazing as it was, that cannot be a frequent thing.

A girl has got to be able to walk.

She really, really likes Killian, is so close to loving him that it terrifies her, and sometimes she looks into his eyes and swears that if someone told her he hung the stars in the sky, she’d believe them.

This was never how any of this was supposed to go.

“Hi,” he growls, pulling at her upper lip before he pulls back so that their foreheads rest together.

“Hi,” she sighs as she wraps her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to her and feeling the softness of his hair. “You played well today.”

“I was okay.”

“But in the second, you – ”

“I know.”

“Do you?”

“I do,” he promises, quickly brushing his lips over hers. “Have I mentioned how much I love that my girlfriend is an expert in my job?”

“Maybe a time or two, but this time it sounds slightly less macho man-ish.”

“That’s my goal.”

“Good.” Her stomach swoops at the smirk on his face, and she really wishes they were back at his apartment instead of in this stupid supply closet. “Why didn’t you tell me Will and Belle got engaged?”

“Because I legitimately didn’t know until right before the game. It apparently leaked or something, and he was all pissed about it. I think Belle posted the ring after it all to kind of beat out tabloids from making money off of them. They’re happy.”

“I would hope so. They’re getting married. People are usually pretty happy for that.”

“Eh, sometimes there’s those people who aren’t actually happy and think a new title and diamond ring will make them happy.”

“True.” Emma leans back against the door, the wood hitting the back of her skull, as she runs her fingers through Killian’s hair. It’s all long and messy again, and she honestly can’t decide which way she likes it best. “I do not want to deal with the crowd on the train getting out of here on the way to David’s.”

“I could drive you,” he offers with a shrug.

“Oh yeah, because that won’t at all be obvious. Also, I think we need to talk.”

“I’ve found that I’m rarely in for a pleasant conversation when a woman tells me that.”

“Shut up, you ass.” She slaps the back of his head, but all he does is give her another cocky grin. So dumb. So, so dumb. “Okay, so, like, hear me out.”

“I have my listening ears on.”

“Yeah, little pointy ones.”

“Swan.”

“Okay, okay,” she mumbles, bringing her bottom lip between her teeth as she bounces on her toes. “I’m not – I’m not one hundred percent sure on this, especially with what I just found out about Will and Belle, but I think it might be time we told my friends and your family about us. Just a few people, the ones we trust the most, because I’m starting to slip up on where I’ve been or who I’m talking to when they ask. Also, I feel really shitty every time I lie to Ruby or David or Mary Margaret or someone else who is my friend.”

His lips are parted, mouth gaping open, and he’s blinking at her like she’s a crazy person. She might actually be.

“W-what? Are you serious?”

“I’m serious about us thinking about it. I’m still not completely sure on the entire thing. I think, maybe when we get back from London, we can have another conversation about it. I like to think this is going pretty well, and while I don’t want our relationship to escape us or our families, I don’t think we can keep doing this without telling the people we love.”

Killian’s brows furrow, his eyes thin lines beneath them, and his hands finally dip from her cheeks down to her shoulders with his nails digging into her skin over her freckles. “Let’s think on it, yeah? Don’t get me wrong, I’m more than thrilled that you feel confident and happy in us enough that you want to tell people, but I don’t want to expose you even more to the world. Because in our circles of people, love, it’s going to be a big deal that we’re dating.”

He’s right. She knows that he is. She’s had the same thoughts.

“I know. We’ll figure it out though, right?”

“Absolutely.” Killian squeezes her shoulders once more before dipping his head down and gently slanting his lips over hers in quick succession. “Now, as much fun as I’m having inhaling all of these chemical fumes, I think you have somewhere to be.”

“Don’t remind me.”

“Emma, love,” he says tenderly, thumbing at the indent in her chin as he smiles that reassuring smile at her, “you’re going to be fine. It’s your family. You love them. I know you do. And you’re going to be reminded of that the moment you get comfortable sitting on David’s couch and relax into dinner.”

Right once more.

“Okay, okay,” she exhales, pulling in Killian for a hug so that she can bury her face in his shoulder and breathe him in instead of the chemical fumes for a moment, “I can do this.”

-/-

Killian was exactly right like she knew he was but didn’t like to admit outside of her head. She was building up the awkwardness, building up the strained relationship with Ruth like she always does, and while it wasn’t the best thing at first, now that she’s sitting crisscrossed on David’s couch with a glass of wine in her hand, she can think of few other places she’d rather be.

This is her family, even when she doesn’t admit it, and for a girl who never really got to have a family until she was too messed up to truly accept one, this is absolutely everything.

Just…everything.

“And then, Grandma,” Leo continues, walking back and forth through the room, “Captain America holds his shield up while the bad guys try to attack him, but he’s too fast for them.”

“This Captain America sounds like a cool guy,” Ruth laughs, very obviously confused about the whole thing. She has not caught onto the Marvel bug, which is pretty much a sin when Leo has been obsessed with Captain America for months. Mary Margaret and David say it’s the longest he’s ever been interested in one thing, and when Emma thinks about it, she believes it. “Do you think you’re going to be as strong as him?”

“Probably not,” Leo shrugs, “but he started off really small like I am so maybe if I’m tall like Dad and not short like Mom.”

“Hey,” Mary Margaret protests, her eyes cutting at her son while Emma and David snicker underneath their breaths, “I am not that short.”

“Mom, I’m ten, and I’m almost taller than you when you’re, like, seventy years old.”

“Leo David Nolan, I am not seventy years old. I’m thirty-nine. Don’t age me like that.”

“What’s wrong with being nearly seventy years old?” Ruth teases, and Mary Margaret’s pale cheeks immediately flush red.

“Nothing, nothing. I – ”

“I’m nearly teasing you, sweetheart,” Ruth sighs before turning her attention to Emma. “I watched your game today. You looked so beautiful, but why are they still showing you eating every time?”

Well, damn, she didn’t know that was still happening, so she takes another sip of her wine and rolls her eyes as she laughs. “I have no idea. Like, it’s a running joke at this point. You can literally google ‘Emma Swan eating’ and all of these videos pop up. Leo told me that they even add songs to them now.”

“They do,” David chuckles. “I showed him those.”

“You’re awful.”

“I actually think I’m pretty awesome.”

“That’s debatable.”

“Look, Grandma,” Leo laughs, taking Mary Margaret’s iPad over to Ruth, “here’s one of the ones with music. It’s so funny!”

“You guys are the worst,” Emma groans as she places her glass down and sinks into the couch. “The absolute worst.”

“You just seem to have a face for funny moments,” Mary Margaret says sympathetically, reaching over to pat her thigh. “It’s because you do a little dance when you’re eating good food, I think.”

That makes her smile. It’s always what Killian is saying about her when he’s teasing her over her eating habits, and that’s when she suddenly remembers that hat that she still hasn’t given to Leo. It’s been sitting in the bag she carries with her to and from games for weeks now, and she keeps forgetting to give it to the kid. He may still like Captain America, but he’s probably moved on to another favorite player.

Quickly, she gets up from the couch and walks to the entryway where she left the bag, shuffling through it until she pulls out the signed hat, and then holds it behind her back, a genuine smile curling on her lips.

“Leo,” she sing-songs, immediately getting his attention as his brown hair falls across his forehead, “if you stop showing Grandma weird videos of me online, I have a surprise for you.”

“Way to bribe my kid,” David whines without much conviction.

“It’s not a bribe. Not technically.”

“What do you have?” Leo gasps, taking the iPad away from Ruth. “What is it? What is it?”

God, to have the enthusiasm of kids. Life would be so much simpler. And happier probably.

She’s pretty happy now anyways.

Slowly, she pulls the hat around from behind her back, and Leo’s brows furrow in confusion. Of course they do. To him, it probably just looks like a random hat since the autograph can’t really be seen.

“A Yankees hat? I have a couple of those already.”

“Leo,” Mary Margaret and David say at the same time.

“It’s fine, guys,” she laughs, stepping a little closer. “Remember when you asked me if I could get you a hat signed by Killian Jones?”

Now Leo’s face lights up, a bright smile practically taking up all of it, and he runs to her and immediately wraps his arms around her waist in a hug so tight that she loses all of the air in her lungs.

“Thank you,” he sighs before releasing her and taking the hat out of her hands, staring down at for a moment only to put it on top of his head. It’s too big for him without being adjusted, but he doesn’t even care.

She feels like the coolest aunt in the world right now.

“You’re the coolest aunt in the world.”

Ah, so confirmation then.

“Killian Jones is the man who asked you out, right?” Ruth questions, and Emma has to bite her tongue as she moves to resume her place back on the couch. She wishes she had more wine, but she’s got to be up early again tomorrow and doesn’t need more to drink. “You’re still talking to him?”

“I mean, only for my job,” she lies. “He’s a nice guy, so he was really happy to sign something for Leo.”

Ruth nods her head, and Emma thinks that it’s the end of the conversation when it’s most definitely not. “So, are you dating anyone, dear? I don’t mean to pry, but I do like to know about your life and you’re much more difficult to get information about than David.”

“That’s because Mary Margaret can’t keep a secret.”

“Why am I feeling so attacked right now?” Mary Margaret laughs.

“Well, you can’t, honey,” David says to his wife. “You are the worst at keeping secrets, and you overshare all the time.”

“That seems like a bit of an exaggeration.”

“It’s really not, Marg,” Emma tells her before turning back to Ruth. “I’m not dating anyone right now,” she lies again, more guilt building up in her stomach, but she and Killian are going to talk about it after London when they’re not in a storage closet, “but I’m really happy. Things at work are going well, even if I’m busy, and I love all of my friends and family and how much time I’m getting to spend with them. But if something on the dating front seriously changes, I’ll let you know.”

Ruth winks at her, a smile on her face. “Well, I don’t believe that for a second.”

Emma stays there for the rest of the night, all five of them eating and watching movies with talking in between. Leo insists that Ruth get caught up on anything and everything Captain America, and even though she falls asleep during several of the movies, she does learn a little bit more, making sure to ask all of the right questions. She’s so good with Leo, with everyone really, and it reminds Emma of when she was a terrified fifteen-year-old moving into a new foster home not knowing what was going to be awaiting her.

For someone who was so unloved and never thought she’d find love, living with Ruth Nolan was a shock to her system. She hates that her own walls and issues kept her – keep her – from always accepting that love and genuine kindness, and she hates that she let Neal influence her to not believe that Ruth was her family.

She is.

Most definitely in every way, and this is going to be something that Emma works on. She’s very much determined to do so.

Her life is a good one, and despite how complicated it is sometimes, she deserves to be happy in as many ways as possible.

When the movies are finished and Emma is ready to go home and go to bed, she whispers words of goodbye to everyone, promising to come over again for dinner tomorrow and to bring Ruby and Graham with her since they are always itching for an invitation.

“It’s so good to see you, darling,” Ruth sighs into her hair as they hug goodbye. “I love you.”

Emma nods her head against Ruth’s neck, a smile on her lips. “I love you too.”

Andre Burkakovsky - Good With Your Son Part 2

Masterlist

word count: 2,079

A/N: I’m so sorry this took so long. Work has been crazy. I hope you all like part 2!

part one

Its been about two years since Carter and I have moved to Washington. In that time I have gotten closer with TJ again. Carter started playing hockey and he is loving it. After Andre and I went out on our first date you could say the rest was history. We have been married not even a month yet and I couldn’t be happier.

I was a little nervous to start dating Andre for one he’s TJ teammate and I didn’t know how he would react. He was totally fine with it loved the idea of us together. Second of all, I didn’t know if I was ready to be with anyone after everything that happened with Joe my ex. Lastly, I didn’t know how Carter would take it. He is my world and if he didn't like that I was seeing Andre I wouldn’t be able to see him anymore. When I first told Carter about Andre and I he was so excited and has been ever since.

Right now I was driving Carter to his hockey game. Its the first one of the season that Andre, TJ, and Tom are able to come to.

“Are you nervous?” I look at Carter in the rearview mirror.

“No,” I waited because the sound of his voice I could tell he was. “Maybe just a little bit I just want to make Andre proud.” Since moving to Washington Andre has taken part in a lot of different/ important events in Carter's life. He has been there for Carter in time when he needed his dad and not his mom, Andre, has been the dad that Carter has needed his whole life. Carter has grown up a lot these past two years more than he probably should have.

“You always make Andre proud. Everything you do he is proud of you.”

“He hasn’t seen me play this season though. I haven’t been doing that good. I just don’t want to let him down. I don’t want to let Uncle TJ down. I don’t want to let Tom down.” He looks out the window. Both TJ and Tom have been helping with Carter along with Andre I don’t know where I would be if it weren’t for those guys and Lauren.

“You are going to do great sweetheart.” He didn’t say anything else after that it was just a quiet ride the rest of the way.

I dropped off Carter at the front door so he could go in and get ready while I park. We were running a little late and I didn’t want him anymore then he is. While I was walking my phone started ringing. I knew it was going to be one of three guys.

It was my husband. That is still weird to say.

“Hello?”

“Stop walking so fast.” I stopped walking and turned around and saw three guys walking towards me. I hung the phone up and put it back in my pocket.

“Did Carter already go in?” TJ asked while coming up to me and giving me a hug.

“Yeah, we were running a little late. I dropped him off at the front when we got here.”

“Hey babe,” Andre came up to me gave me a kiss on the cheek.

“We need to get in before we miss puck drop,” I told the guys.

Once we took our seats five minutes later they started playing. None of the guys were talking, I think they were too focused on watch Carter.

While Carter wasn’t on the ice I would look around at everyone watching their son out on the ice. I noticed the door to open I looked and saw someone that I never thought I would see again. I looked away in fear. I looked at TJ his eyes were on the ice. I noticed Tom was looking at me and had a confused look on his face. He got up and sat next to me.

“Y/N are you okay you look like you saw a ghost.” I wasn’t sure if I should tell Tom that Joe just walked in or if I should just keep it to myself and go and get rid of him myself. I looked off at Andre he was watching the game. He was so excited to see Carter play today I don’t want to pull him away from the game.

“Tom I need to keep calm and not tell Andre and TJ.” I turned to Tom so Andre couldn’t hear.

“Well, now you're scaring me,” I looked over Tom's shoulder and saw Joe looking around.

“I didn’t know he was coming. I didn’t know he knew where we were.”

“Are you fucking kidding me?” Tom got up and looked around. Tom needs to keep his mouth shut.

“What is he going on about?” Andre turned to us. The buzzer went off signaling the ended of the first period.

“Where?” Tom looked at me. “You need to tell them.” He pointed at Andre and TJ.

“Tell us what?” TJ asked.

“I need you three to sit down and watch Carter play. He was excited for the three of you to see his game.” I shouldn’t have said anything to Tom.

“She was saying something about Joe being here.” I saw Andre look at me asking for answers.

“I saw him walk in he is over at the doors but before you go over there I need you three to stay where you are and watch Carter. I am going to get him out.”

“You can’t be serious right now,” TJ said while getting up.

“I am not going to let you go over there without us.” I know I wasn’t going to win this.

“Okay, what about we just sit here and watch the game.” I looked at all three and they sat down and watch the game. I knew after they will go looking for Joe. I just want to watch my son’s game.

Carter’s team ended up winning. He got two goals. He played his best game today. The four of us were waiting for Carter to get dress. They didn’t say anything but I know all three of them are looking for Joe. Andre took my hand in his. I looked up at him and saw him looking at me.

“Can you stop looking for him?”

“I don’t want him to come anywhere close to my family. So I am going to keep an eye out to make sure he doesn’t.” He put his forehead against mine and pressed his lips to mine. Still, after being with him for two years he still gives butterflies. “I love you. I love Carter I just don’t want him to come near the people I love.” I smiled up at him and gave him another kiss.

“Well, there is the all-star.” I heard Tom say. I looked and saw Carter walk out with a smile on his face. He went straight to Andre.

“How did I do?”

“You did amazing son.” Someone else spoke before Andre could. I froze when I heard that voice. We all looked at him and I didn’t know what to say.

“Dad?” Carter was the first one to say something.

“Come over here and give your dad a hug” Carter didn’t move.

“I think you should leave,” TJ said I could tell he was fighting to stay where he was not to go over there to him.

“I will leave once I talk to Y/N and my son.”

“Over my died body.” Andre stepped forward.

“Joe I think you should go,” I said looking at him

“I want to talk to you and Carter. I miss you both”

“We don’t miss you though” Carter spoke I looked at him in shock. I don’t ask him about his dad he doesn’t bring him up.

“I am your father you don’t speak to me like that.”

“You haven’t been much of one,” Carter went to stand in front of Joe. “For two years you haven’t called or anything to see how I was doing. I have a dad already I don’t need you.” Carter turned to Andre smiled. “Can we go get something to eat now I am hungry?”

“Sure thing” Andre took Carter’s bag from his hand and took him outside. Tom came to my side.

“I want you both to come home. We can try again. I can make this right.” Joe said looking at me.

“Joe I am not going anywhere with you. I am home. I’m married now” I looked at the doors Andre and Carter just walked out. “and we are expecting a baby. I’m not going to leave the man that has become the father to my son when he needed one. I’m not going to leave the man that has been there for me when I didn’t him. You need to go back to Texas and stay there.” I looked away from Joe and looked at both TJ and Tom and the shock look on their faces. I haven’t told anyone I was pregnant.

“You ready to go?” Tom asked. I nodded my head. Tom was walking on one side while TJ was on the other. Once we walked out the doors TJ stopped me.

“A baby?” TJ asked

“I haven’t told Andre or Carter yet.” I smiled at him

“He is going to be so happy.” TJ hugged me.

We all went to eat. No one spoke about Joe or what happened. We were waiting for our food when Carter said he wants to say something.

“Andre I wanted to ask you something.” We all looked at Carter and Andre they were sitting across the table from each other.

“I want to say thank you for being there for me and my mom when we needed you. For teaching me how to play hockey and for making my mom happy.” I started to have tears in my eyes. “When I told that man that calls him my dad that I already have one. I wasn’t lying. I see you as my dad and I was wondering if you could adopt me and if I could change my last name to Burakovsky?” Carter looked nervous to ask Andre.

Andre and I have talked about him adopting Carter but we never said anything to Carter about it. I didn’t know he wanted to change his last name. This was the first time hearing anything about it. I didn't want to to do anything without talking to Carter about it. I looked at Andre and he got out of his chair and he asked Carter to get up. He did and stood in front of Andre.

“I would love to adopt you and for you to have my last name.” Andre pulled him in for a hug and I could stop the tears for coming down. TJ put his arm around me and pulled me closer.

“You should tell them now.” He whispered in my ear.

“I don’t want to ruin their moment.”

“Mom I know I didn’t ask you but-“

“I think its a great idea,” I smiled at him. They both sat down back in their seats. Tom put his arm around Carter and brought him into a hug.

"Now I have to deal with two Burakovsky?" Tom joked while pulling away from Carter.

The server came with the food asking us what plates went where. “We have the spaghetti,”

“That’s your's dad,” Carter said pointing at Andre. After the server left Carter started talking “I’m sorry I didn’t realize I said that till after I did,” He looked down at his food and started eating.

“Don’t apologize, Carter, I don’t mind.” I couldn’t help but smile and I got an idea.

“Well, Andre I guess you got two kids calling you dad,” I said so casually while eating.

“Yeah I guess-“ He stopped talking and looked at me. “Wait what?”

“I’m going to be a bother?” Carter asked

“Yeah, I found out the other day.”

To say Andre was excited would have been an understatement. Carter couldn’t be happier about being brother and being able to teach him/her to play hockey.

A month and a half later we found out we were having a baby girl. That same day we got the papers for Andre to adopt Carter. It took a while to get Joe to sign off on it but in the end, he did all that he asked was that he got the change to talk to Carter. They had lunch and Carter came back with the sign papers. Carter couldn’t wait to tell Andre’s parents that he was going to be their grandson even though they already called him their grandson.

Seven months later our baby girl was born.

Reckless

I started this story towards the end of Season 11. Pretty dismal day around here today and finishing this was a result of that mood. It's by no means a happy story but it ends well, with love and the family moving on. This is a one shot.

“Wait at the top for me Georgie.” Lyndy called out as Phoenix pulled out ahead up the hill.

“I’ll wait Lyndy, don’t worry. Ease up Phoenix, Spackle’s not as big as you are.”

Spackle was Lyndy’s new Quarter Horse Pony, black and white in equal measure he was by all accounts a beautiful paint, the foal of two barrel racing champions that Casey found and bought for her 5th birthday.

“Whew, good boy Spack” Lyndy said stopping alongside Georgie and reaching down for the water bottle that bounced on Spackle’s saddle. “Here Georgie have some” she said after taking a sip.

“Getting used to riding him Lyndy ?”

“Oh yeah, Spack’s great, Grandma Casey said he can do barrels and poles soon.”

“She was very happy when she found him for you.”

“I love Grandma Casey and Grandpa Tim.”

“We all do sweetie, ready to go on ?”

“Let’s go a little faster Georgie.”

“Ok, ready to canter, no galloping yet Ok, I know he’s a pony but much bigger than Monty.”

“Ok Georgie and now TJ can ride Monty.”

“TJ can ride Monty with help, he’s still very young so you have to be careful when you help.”

By all accounts Lyndy was an amazing rider who not only had a natural seat but showed remarkable intuition in handling, transferring command to her legs easily as if she’d done if for way longer than her age would account for. She was also fearless of them and had at even this early age an affinity, a gift or specialness with them.

“Poppa’s teaching him, every day, I help sometimes.”

“He loves being on a horse just like you.”

“There’s our new house Georgie, it’s almost ready.”

“Moving in a couple weeks, are you excited ?”

“Yup, Momma said we can just walk over to visit now, or ride my bike and soon Spack on my own.”

“Not before your folks say it’s Ok Lyndy.”

“Oh sure I know that.”

It had taken longer than they had thought to get the house done but it was. Everyone chipped in their time in helping the contractor get done. The interior was quickly being finished and as far as Georgie knew the appliances would be transferred from the loft to the house during the week to be hooked up. Almost there. Jack and Mitch had cut the road to join the house with the main entrance to Heartland. It wouldn’t be that much of an extra chore this way to include the new house in snow clearing, a huge concern come Winter.

“Looks like GG and Grandma are walking over to help.”

Jack and Lisa saw Georgie and Lyndy come over the rise and set out to meet them at the barn.

“She rides just like Amy did.” Jack said watching the two make there way slowly towards the barn.

“She loves that horse, I still can’t believe what Casey paid for him.”

“Not all that much considering that horse’s pedigree Lis, the foal of two national champions.”

“Well I’ve never seen a more handsome paint Jack, that’s for sure.”

“And the perfect size for her.”

“Hi Grandma, Hi GG” Lyndy called out waving.

The watched as Lyndy stopped Spackle and patted his neck. “Good boy Spackle, now stand Spackle” she said as she pulled her leg over and dropped smoothly to the ground. “What a good boy” she said reaching into her pocket for a treat.

“Can you help with my saddle GG ?”

“I sure can sweetheart.”

“And I’ll help you brush him out Lyndy.”

“Thanks Grandma.”

One of the things Amy and Ty had insisted on was that the tradition of calling Lisa by her first name was not going to happen with their kids. The family strove to make sure this came about. Rather than anything elaborate they decided that Grandma would be fine and both Lisa and Jack were more than fine with that. When TJ came along that tradition was continued. As a matter of fact around the homestead Casey was also Grandma and they sorted it out between them. Both Lisa and Casey were perfectly fine carrying the same name. Jack was still GG across the board.

“Where’s Momma and Poppa and TJ ?” Lyndy asked helping Jack wipe down her saddle before moving on to Spackle.

“Poppa is with Grandma Casey and Grandpa at the rodeo grounds looking at horses and Momma is in town with TJ. They’ll be here for dinner.”

“Soon we’ll be right over the hill GG and we can see each other all the time.”

“We sure can sweetheart and we can go riding after school.”

“When is school GG ?”

“Kindergarten starts in September sweetheart, a couple months away, we have all summer first.”

“Is Poppa going away in the summer ?”

“I don’t know if anything’s settled yet Lyndy, we just have to wait but he won’t be gone too long.”

“I know, momma misses him when he goes.”

“Not you ?”

“Me too.”

“Well you both love your Poppa so that’s understandable. It’s Ok to be a little sad sometimes.”

A light rain had started when they were in the barn and after stalling Spackle and Phoenix they walked over to the ranch house where they settled in the living room at a small fire Jack set to chase away the rainy chill. Georgie excused herself to work on college applications. She was applying for the same 7 year Vet Program that Ty and Cassandra had attended. It certainly wasn’t a lock but with Scott and Cass’s recommendation and her work with the nature preserve and the clinic along with her grades which had been good she was hopeful.

Lisa sat with Lyndy and read a book with her, Lyndy had been getting better and was making and sounding out more and more words. Jack sat reading the latest copy of Alberta Angler when they heard the familiar chirp of a truck passing the front gate. A new security feature they had installed since the ranch had been invaded a few years earlier.

Jack walked over and out onto the porch and welcomed Tim and Casey.

“I thought Caleb was with you, we need to talk about the appliances getting moved.”

“We rented a reach fork truck, nice and easy Jack, I think Wednesday.”

“The rest of the loft is empty ?”

“All empty except the built ins and the appliances which are all disconnected. We’ll lower them down to the hay truck, drive both to the house and haul them in. Caleb’s picking up Cass and the baby and they’ll be here soon. The vet truck Cass uses is in the shop for shocks.”

“Come on in, and warm up a little” Jack said holding the door for Tim and getting a hug from Casey.

Lyndy came over to hug Casey and Tim when they sat and soon Lisa was in the kitchen getting ready to start dinner and Casey was sitting and continuing with Lyndy’s reading. When the book was done Lyndy sat with Lisa’s iPad and watched her favorite show Equus, Story of the Horse that had come out a couple years earlier. She loved watching the horses and listening to the story of how they came to Canada and about all the different kinds of horses in the world.

As dinner came closer the gate alarm chirped again and Casey glanced up to see the large burgundy pickup pulling up to the house.

“Lyndy, momma and poppa are here.” Casey called into the living room.

“GG save my place please” Lyndy asked and Jack took the iPad and shut everything down.

Lyndy wandered into the kitchen just as the door opened and Cass walked in carrying a weepy little boy.

“Oh what’s wrong ?” Lisa sang gently.

“He’s cutting a second molar, he’s miserable, you have one of those big frozen teething rings on the freezer door Lisa ?”

“Sure do, a couple actually, here you go TJ” Lisa crooned offering the ring by placing it gently agains TJ’s hand. He took it instantly and Lisa watched it go straight into his mouth.

“Let me take him Cass” Lisa said sitting down.

“Here TJ, go to Grandma and momma will get some medicine.” Cass said after kissing his head gently and walking over to the corner cabinet to extract a bottle of liquid Tylenol.

“What’s wrong with TJ momma ?”

“New tooth sweetheart, he’ll be fine” Cass said measuring out a dose and handing it to Casey. She leaned over a second later and wrapped her arms around Lyndy lifting her onto her lap as she sat.

“Georgie took me riding.”

“I’m so glad sweetheart, how’s Spackle ?”

“Perfect.”

“There’s my favorite girl” Caleb said walking in.

Lyndy broke free and ran over to get scooped up by Caleb who peppered her with kisses making her giggle.

“I saw the house today Poppa.”

“Did you see your room ?”

Lyndy nodded and smiled “did you buy horses ?”

“We did buy a few promising quarters.”

“Oh boy, I love new horses.”

“I know but you remember the rules ?”

“No going near the new horses until you say so.”

“Good girl.”

“What news of the move Caleb ?”

“Picking up the truck Friday at 5:00 Tim, we’ll move Saturday, all hands on deck and move in. We’ll move and install the appliances Wednesday.”

“Outstanding, I can’t believe that’s finally ending.” Lisa said.

“Me too, I want to live at Heartland in my new room.” Lyndy said smiling.

“We’ve all been waiting for that sweetheart” Jack said coming in.

He leaned over and kissed TJ. Cassandra stood to hug him which always took him back and made him smile. She amazed him, her love for Lyndy was without bounds and she poured love on her children. Amy and Ty had chosen these two well. Caleb and Lyndy were also a loving couple and Lyndy though Caleb walked on water.

Wednesday morning Caleb rode up to the barn where he saw Jack, Tim and the transport waiting.

“Sorry, I had to drop Lyndy and TJ’s still suffering with that tooth.”

“It’s fine Caleb, I was just going to go up and pull the French doors.”

“Stay Tim, I’ll do it, you two should stay.”

“I’m fine Caleb.”

“I can’t see that Tim, sorry, I’ve got it, you help down here.”

“Let it go Tim, you don’t have anything to prove.” Jacks said softly.

“Go ahead Caleb, thanks.”

Caleb nodded and headed upstairs. He took a deep breath before looking over, it had all been cleaned but he couldn’t see it that way.

Jack’s mind floated back to that day as he waited. They’d never really know what happened. They had an idea but no proof and no solid evidence of anything. After the loft had been ransacked apparently Ty became involved in something he never should have handled on his own.

Ty was found by Jim and his deputy, he was shot twice in the stomach and lay alongside his truck on an isolated road just past a cutoff bridge Lou had directed him to. He didn’t last long enough for the ambulance to arrive and was pronounced DOA after 5 minutes. His last word, the only one he uttered was “Amy.” Jim had no idea when Ty had been shot but it took him about thirty minutes to reach the spot from when the call came in.

Jack answered the house phone and listened to Jim before heading into the bedroom and grabbing his rifle.

He ran out onto the porch and saw Ty’s truck that Amy had taken to the supermarket parked by the barn and ran towards it. Lisa ran out of the house then followed by Lou who held Lyndy.

“Stay with Lyndy Lou” Lisa called back following behind Jack. She stopped dead in her tracks when she heard Jack’s cry of anguish and turned as Jim’s Sheriff car sped down the road with sirens and lights flashing and pulling up to the barn. He asked Lisa to strand back and turned gun raised to the staircase up to the loft where he saw Jack sitting, both hands bloody.

Jim rushed past him and found what Jack had found. Amy lay next to the dining room table, her head in a pool of blood and lifeless. It looked as if she had been struck on the right side of her face and knocked down with her head smacking against the oak table on the way to the ground.

20 minutes later both scenes, by the bridge and the entire ranch was closed as a crime scene. Jim immediately called the RCMP as his department did not have the resources to handle a double murder. It took weeks to come close to any kind of spotty story line. They knew about the pouch from Mongolia and the flash drive. Both Ty and Amy’s computers were gone as was their phones and the back up hard drive they had. Although the perpetrator had attempted to erase their cloud accounts the RCMP was able to get Ty’s phone records and a copy of the file of names and numbers that they discovered.

The phone that the perpetrator apparently used was a throw away purchased for cash. They traced what names they could from the list and passed what they couldn’t to several international agencies. As near as they could discover they knew who probably was responsible. The same poacher or gang of poachers Ty had dealt with in Mongolia. Unfortunately the Mongolian authorities proved useless. The suspect Daniel Schurer a German national who had been living in Mongolia for years was untouchable. He claimed he had never left Mongolia and there was no record of him doing it. Further, he had several witnesses who could swear to his being in the Gobi at the exact time the attacks were taking place in Canada. Everyone on the list claimed ignorance and had no idea why they were part of it. Although several names showed up as names to watch or some that were known to several international animal protection services as traders they could piece nothing solid together and there was no physical evidence. They had found two abandoned trucks just out of town a couple days after, they had been stolen in Vancouver and the plates from Calgary Int’l airport. Both vehicles were freshly washed and cleaned, there were no useable fingerprints.

Caleb and Cassandra had immediately stepped forward to care for Lyndy in the sad days that followed. The family was lost and bereft of spirit. Over time as all things do they moved on. Emptied the loft and did what they could to stand with Caleb and Cass. Scott stepped up and made Cass a partner, accruing to her the time Ty spent and that she spent filling in for him. It was the least he could do. It took over a year for the insurance companies to pay out the life insurance policies as they needed written guarantees from police authorities that Ty or Amy weren’t privy to the crime. Ty and Amy’s assets were written over in Lyndy’s name and the insurance policy money directed to Cass and Caleb. They set up a college fund and when Jack informed them that he planned on Lyndy having the land originally promised to Amy and Ty, the O’dells decided that rather than buy a ranch over time they would build on the land and join Heartland.

Cass announced she was pregnant at Lyndy’s third birthday party and when born they named their son Tyler Jackson, TJ in memory of their friend. Amy had always wanted to name a son Jackson.

Caleb and Jack started a stock company and began trading in horses to make up for the work Amy would do. Georgie did what she could to help but started at UC soon after.

They sat to a large family dinner in the new home on Sunday evening. Casey and Lisa had helped Cass prepare. As they all sat Caleb looked out over the family and begged for quiet. He then asked for a moment of silent reflection for friends and loved ones before grabbing the platter of chicken and passing it around.

Episodes 3x01-3x07 ranked from favorite to least favorite

It was difficult, no doubt about it, but I think I managed to rank all of the season 3 episodes so far from favorite to least favorite. So here we go!

1. Cookie Monster (3x06)

All of the plots in this episode were spot on and enjoyable for me. We meet Bowie’s mom, Cookie, for the first time and she’s such a sweetheart. Making them loveys and name cookies? I STAN COOKIE. Also the best line in the entire episode: “I never go anywhere without a roast chicken.”

We also see the wonderful Buffy and Jonah friendship again. (It’s the content we deserve) I thought including this plot line would make the episode feel too busy at first, but it was a fun addition.

Saving the best for last...TYRUS. So many great moments in this episode that I literally had to pause the TV a few times just to freaking breathe. TJ asking Cyrus to hang out with his big goofy grin and Cyrus having those signature “heart eyes” the whole time...phew. They really do bring out the best in each other and this episode really displayed that. I loved the gun story line and thought it was handled quite nicely.

2. The New Girls (3x07)

This episode was ALMOST first but it went down a few points with the Bex and Bowie fixing stuff plot which I didn’t really care for...so let’s move on.

I love, love, love Libby! I am so glad this show decide to give some representation to the deaf community. I have a few family members that are deaf so this plot is very close to my heart. I really want to see more of Andi and Libby’s friendship later on.

I absolutely loved all of the Tyrus emotional moments in this episode. It really highlights how much they need each other and how they wouldn’t have grown/changed without each other’s impact. TJ telling Cyrus that he is “The only person I can talk to like this” was such a powerful and meaningful line. We really got a peak inside both Cyrus and TJ’s minds here.

Also Ham was amazing, like always.

3. Howling At The Moon Festival (3x02)

This was such an entertaining episode. It was interesting to see some of Andi’s family traditions. The family-centered episodes of Andi Mack never fail to make me smile and I low-key wish we had some more of them. Poor Jonah, he was trying so hard to fix things! Extra points in this episode for the Cyrus/Jonah scene.

Andi and Jonah’s “breakup” that wasn’t really a “breakup” finally feels like a healthy Jandi relationship move. I really didn’t expect it to be done this way but I was impressed. For once I didn’t have to cringe from Jandi’s painfully obvious communication problems.

I loved the ending with the lanterns, but we STILL need to know what the wish was that fell. I wonder if the casual audience even remembers this plot by now.

4. Hole in the Wall (3x04)

So I’m kind of lazy and don’t have much to say about this episode. But this episode gets points for the TJ and Cyrus muffin reference, TJ patting Cyrus on the shoulder, TJ and Cyrus walking in sync to the bleachers, TJ and Cyrus sitting as close as possible, and TJ and Cyr-well you get my point.

I was iffy about the Jandi in the episode because they had such a nice ending in 3x02, ya know? But I was a fool to think it would end that easy. Jonah’s original song was a mess and I understand why Andi is reacting the way that she is, but then we get Jonah’s second song and it’s a freaking masterpiece that should win an award.

5. The Syncing Feeling (3x05)

Tbh, I felt like this episode was a bit weaker than the others. However, I looooved the Amber and Andi development. We are witnessing the start of a beautiful friendship. Amber had so much fun with Andi that she went home afterwards and actually GOOGLED beautiful places in the world to canoe at with Andi (according to Andi’s Texts, RIP). More Ambi scenes please!

This episode also gets points for the Cyrus and Jonah being stuck in a canoe together. Ever since Cyrus confessed to Buffy that his crush on Jonah was gone, we haven’t really been getting some quality Jyrus friendship scenes. So this was a great addition.

AND bonus points for Buffy trying to explain to Walker who Amber was because that was hilarious.

6. The Boys Are Back (3x01)

We got our boy HAM back, Cyrus returns from England and gets a new wardrobe, Bex and Bowie become engaged! And those are pretty much the highlights of the episode. It wasn’t bad, but it did feel a little boring and short to me. The episodes after 3x01 just outshine the season 3 premiere in my opinion.

7. It’s A Dilemna (3x03)

Andi in this episode was ugh. 🙄 I get that she’s a teenage girl going through a lot of emotions in her life right now, but it was still a bit much to me. I also did not like the plot with Bowie and his new guitar student. At this point, Shaun’s dad, Victor, is probably my least favorite character on the show. I probably would have rather watched Gus tie his shoes over this plot but let’s move on. This episode gets a million points though for showing us Cyrus in his dance class. Amazing, what a mood.

Sweetest Downfall- Ch.7

Hope you’re all enjoying this so far. Let me know what you think, I definitely need some motivation to keep this going.

###

Chapter Seven: Tells

“Nena” Andre’s whine broke through my concentration and I felt his head lift from my lap.

“Is Nena your new thing now?” I asked, not taking my eyes off the paper I was reading.

“Yup, I like it and it rhymes with Alena so get used to it.” I saw him shrug from the corner of my eyes as he shifted around restlessly.

“Älskling,titta på mig” I pulled my eyes from the paper turning my attention to the whining man child next to me. He was sitting cross-legged brow pulled up with a look that demanded attention.

“What can I help you with darling?” I drawled out lazily watching him smile happily finally gaining my undivided attention.

“You’re coming to the game today, right?” I brought my bottom lip between my teeth averting my eyes from his.

“Baby, I thought you were going?” There was disappointment in his voice and impossible to ignore when I met his eyes.

“I know but do you see all these papers?” I gestured to the stack next to me, “I need to get these rough drafts finished this weekend.”

“It’s a 3pm game you can be home by 8, plenty of time to get work done, please?” He continued pleading with me and I felt my will slowly breaking down as he pouted with those big brown eyes of his.

“I have no one to go with Shay can’t go and Taylor isn’t in town” I pointed out, referencing Tom’s girlfriend, the only Caps girl I had met.

“Alena that’s not an excuse. Osh said all the girls are going and its time you meet them. We’ve been together long enough.” He was serious now, which was rare, and I really hated being on the opposite end of his serious tone.

“Says you” I mumbled shuffling the papers in my lap. He took hold of one of my hands bringing my knuckles to his lips kissing them softly. Little shit knew exactly how to get me to crumble.

“Can’t it wait until another game? You know how awkward I am. I will do so much better if I have Shay or Taylor with me” My bottom lip pouted out in a vain attempt to reverse our pleading roles.

“Nena, the girls have been asking about you non-stop this is the perfect time. I know you’ll be fine. You met me alone” He pointed out, a small smile peeking at the corner of his lips.

“Yeah but I didn’t have hours to overthink everything. Don’t you remember how awkward I was on our first date?” He nodded laughing a little at the memory. “That was because I had time to overthink”

“You were, but you got over it. C’mon, do it for me, please?” His begging combined with those fucking pouty lips had me crumbling in a second.

“Fine, but I need to be back early”

His face lit up and I tried to hide my smile as he leaned in for a kiss, but I turned away forcing him to settle for my cheek. He grunted in annoyance placing his thumb and forefinger on my chin turning my jaw back towards him letting him kiss me properly on the lips.

“Andre” I protested against his mouth trying to pull away but his tongue easily pushed past my lips and I easily caught up in the kiss while his other hand came around my neck holding me in place. I put a hand on his chest gripping his shirt fighting the urge to rip his clothes off. I sighed against our kiss releasing his shirt pushing against his chest enough to separate our lips.

“What’s wrong?” His lips were swollen from our kiss and I had to bite down hard on my cheek to control the reaction it sent through me.

“I have work to do and since I don’t have all day to finish I can’t have you distracting me” I said, laying down the law as best I could.

“Fineeee, I have pre game stuff I need to do anyway.” He rolled his eyes with a huff and stood up to walk into the living room.

“Thanks hotshot, ‘preciate ya!” He mumbled in Swedish as he walked out and I turned back to my papers trying to ignore the growing anxiety I had over meeting the other girls. I knew I was awkward with guys, but when it came to other girls, especially the girlfriends of professional athletes, I could only imagine how I would react.

I hesitated before taking the final corner, leading me to the club section, not ready to walk into the room full of women I didn’t know. For someone as socially awkward as myself walking into a room of gorgeous woman I didn’t know was the definition of anxiety. I kept reminding myself I was doing this for Andre, but it was still tough. I wanted nothing more than to turn and walk out of the arena, but I made it this far, right? I took a deep breath gave myself a little pep talk and willed my feet forward.

I stood in the entry to the suite watching the group of girls chatting amongst themselves and I was frozen. Couldn’t speak, couldn’t move. Frozen.

“Hi, you must be Alena?” I was brought out of my fog as a gorgeous blonde walked towards me with a wide smile and I instantly knew who she was.

“Im Lauren Oshie, TJ’s wife. Im so happy you’re here!” She stood before me and I did my best not to gap at how impeccable she was from head to toe, and I was instantly insecure.

“Hi, Alena Richards its really great to meet you.” My voice was shaky but I flashed a smile hoping to mask my nerves. I held a hand out for her to shake but she waved me off with a laugh.

“Oh please, we’re one big family here sowe hug.” She caught me off guard reaching out pulling me into a hug which I returned awkwardly.

“I was so excited when TJ told me you were coming. We’ve all been waiting to meet you. Girls come meet Alena.” Lauren placed her hand on my arm stepping to the side allowing the other girls to see me. Four more sets of eyes fell on me and I felt my cheeks warm with the attention and I took a deep breath preparing for the onslaught.

Five minutes later I was running through the list of names trying to make sure I didn’t forget anyone. Each girl I met was just as gorgeous as Lauren and I wished more than anything that I had Shay or Taylor here with me.

“From what Nicklas has told me Andre hasn’t stopped talking about you since the day you two met” I blushed hard at Liza’s words pulling my eyes from her.

“Im sure he’s exaggerating” I said, waving off the compliment as I failed to hide the smile on my face.

“Girl, TJ said the same thing. That boy is falling hard for you.” Lauren teased with a knowing glance.

“Well he definitely makes it easy” I said dragging my attention from the girls and onto the ice just as the puck dropped.

“So Brett tells me you’re from Boston, did Andre ever mention we lived there for a season?” I looked to my right as Katrina Connolly dropped down in the open seat.

“No he didn’t but I thought Brett’s name looked familiar”

“Yup, we were only there a short time but we both loved the city and the team.”

“Boston really was amazing; I mean I love DC but there was just something so homey about Boston. We were only there a short time but I loved it” She smiled warmly and for the first time all night I felt calm. Talking about home tended to do that.

“It really is a great city. Boston has this big city feel but at the same it doesn’t feel overwhelming. All the little DC neighborhoods really remind me of Boston” she nodded excitedly as I talked.

“Yes! That’s exactly it. And I loved being by the ocean. Do you miss it?”

“Everyday. I haven’t been back since I moved and I’m having withdrawals.” I laughed.

“What made you move here?” I looked onto the ice, my eyes falling on Andre within seconds and I smiled.

“Work. I couldn’t find a teaching job in Boston and my best friend lives here so I tried my luck in DC.” I said with a shrug.

“Do you see yourself staying?” That was a loaded question.

“Umm when I first moved here I didn’t think so, but meeting Andre definitely makes it hard to wanna leave.” I laughed as Katrina did the same.

“He’s such a sweetheart. I knew whoever he set his sights on would be one lucky girl” I couldn’t help but blush at her words.

“He’s the best. He came in and messed up all my plans, but I wouldn’t change it for the world.” I smiled that goofy love sick smile and I inwardly cringed.

“They say you find someone when you’re not looking. Seems like that’s what happened with you two.” She had a knowing smile on her face as she spoke and it had me looking away blushing, again.

I continued fielding questions from the girls as they prodded for all the juicy details of how Andre and I met. I tried to focus on the game and only add to the conversation when I knew I had been quiet for too long. The longer we talked the less anxious I became but I still couldn’t shake the feeling that I didn’t belong here, like I was out of place.

“I don’t know Jamie, I just felt so out of place.” I huffed into the phone as my older brother listened to me vent.

“How come? Were they all bitches?”

“No they were all wicked nice, but I just felt like I didn’t belong there.” I shot a look over my shoulder making sure no one was around to hear me.

“Lena you need to be more confident Andre adores you.” Jamie urged.

“I know he does but that doesn’t really matter in this situation. These women are just-”

“Alena, you out here?” I panicked hearing Andre’s voice echo out into the nearly empty corridor.

“Shit, hold on Jamie” I poked my head around the corner and saw him standing in the hallway just outside the room I was supposed to be. I let out a small groan taking in the light grey suit he wore the hugged him in all the right places.

“Right here hotshot” I called out, stepping into the hall so he could see me. His frown turned into his goofy smile when his eyes found mine and he crossed the hall in five large steps.

“Are you on the phone?” He eyed me suspiciously and I nodded.

“Yeah its Jamie, gimme a sec” He nodded and I turned away.

“J, I gotta-”

“Hey Jamie!” Andre’s voice rang out from beside me and I shot him a stern look as he laughed.

“Tell Andre I said hi and call me soon. Remember, that guy adores you and that’s all that matters, oh and I love you.” I smiled at his words, thankful to have a brother I could call at any moment.

“Thanks Jamie, love you too.” I hung up the phone sliding it back into my pocket turning my attention back to my handsome Swede.

“Hey you, great game tonight” I smiled up at him rising up on my toes to kiss him. He smiled against my lips and I sighed against him before reluctantly pulling away.

“Thanks. How’d it go with the girls?” He had an excited smile on his face waiting for my answer.

“Great! All the girls are so sweet. It was nice to finally meet them.” I forced a smile and he quirked an eyebrow.

“You’re lying, what’s wrong?” He squinted his eyes and I mimicked him.

“No im not, it went great” I smiled again placing a hand on his arm.

“Nope, I can tell when you’re lying” He said matter of factly and I scoffed.

“Bullshit” I said crossing my arms over my chest.

“You scrunch your nose up then move it side to side. Like a bunny” My eyes went wide and he laughed tapping my nose with his finger. Barely two months and he already knew my tell.

“So what’s wrong? Were they rude?” He question, now concerned since I just gave myself away.

“No of course not. They’re all so sweet. Honestly its nothing, don’t worry.” I smiled patting his chest.

“Lena come on, what’s wrong?” The concern in his eyes hit me hard but I didn’t want to bother him with my crazy insecurities.

“Burky, let’s fucking go!” We both turned as Tom stood in the doorway motioning for us. I looked back at Andre for an explanation just as a light went off in his head.

“Oh shit, I told Vrana and Tom we would go grab dinner with them.” I glared up at him, annoyed that he made plans after he promised we would be home early.

“Babe I-”

“Let’s go you two, im hungry!”

“Shut it Tom were coming” Andre grabbed my hand dragging me towards the two guys as I tried but failed to gain his attention to remind him why we couldn’t go out. But I also knew this was a losing battle the second these three got together and I was too much of a people pleaser to protest.

We walked into Andre’s apartment a little after midnight and I was exhausted and pissed off. I put on a happy face throughout dinner not wanting to be that bitchy girlfriend but now I was too annoyed to care.

“Nena, what’s wrong?” He called out when I walked past him heading straight for his bedroom.

“Nothing Andre im exhausted and I need to get some sleep. I have a lot of work to do tomorrow.” I was being passive aggressive but I couldn’t stop. I was upset and my way of dealing was through passive aggressive comments. That’s just who I am.

“Are you sure? you seemed off all night” I felt his hands settle on my waist as he stood behind me but I stepped out of his embrace turning to face him.

“Yes im sure. I was perfectly fine all night” I stated crossing my arms over my chest. He narrowed his eyes reading straight through my words.

“That’s the problem, you were fine. I know you better than you think Lena and I knew something was wrong. Talk to me, please.” His pleading had my anger faltering and he could tell. He reached for me and this time I let him take my hand pulling me against his chest wrapping his arms around me. I soaked up the feel of him for just a moment before I remembered I was mad at him.

“Im fine, can I please just go to sleep?” He sighed letting his arms fall from my waist and I smiled.

“If that’s what you want then yeah.” His eyes bore through me, waiting for me to crack.

“It was a long day and like I said, I have a lot to do tomorrow.” I emphasized the words hoping he might clue in, but he simply nodded moving aside so I could go get ready for bed. I could feel his eyes on me while I moved about the room and I did my best to ignore the judging stare he was giving me. He really did know me better than I thought, but he clearly wasn’t privy on just how stubborn I can be when I wanted to avoid issues.

Episode 11 | “You let me like a parasite leach into this game and I will not be going anywhere”- Ali

youtube

Alright, so now it's my time to either put up or shut up. This is the round I really need to make this move in order to put myself in a much better spot moving forward. Either Ali or Autumn need to go this round, and I need to figure out how in the hell I can make this work. I know me, Devon, and the three Beauties are in for this plan, but I'm really concerned about Jakey this round. For some reason he's not being fully forthcoming about his thoughts about this vote, and with someone telling me that him and Ali might be close, I'm really concerned that he may go and ruin this plan. I don't want to think he'd do that - he should know I have had his back since Day 1 and I still think he has mine - but like... this ain't a fun spot to be in. Part of me wants to stack on Autumn and pretend like it's supposed to be a split vote to get Ali to use his idol if Jakey does tell him, but it would be worthless, but I don't even know if that would work. So I think I really need to figure out what Jakey is ok with here and then figure out how I can guarantee the heat doesn't come on me if this plan is found out.

I- just... you think you know people. Me and Adam rn https://media.tenor.com/images/ad6bd858d5371eb4ad2755d4a11bc748/tenor.gif but also me and Adam rn https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b8/d0/26/b8d026447effad19676de7e8ccc05c6f.gif Not Adam calling me at midnight to tell me that the whole ass tribe is planning to blindside Ali. I can't even get into the tea fully cause I'm in my bag now that I know 6 people think so little of me and will to lie to my face all day tomorrow but like it's fine. They will be dealt with, Adam is a king, we will get our Emmy's tomorrow for bamboozling everyone back, and I will 100% get Ali to play the idol he (probably?) has when I lay all the cards at 7 pm EST tomorrow lmao. And I'm really gonna get Jakey and Deovn's double agent asses- THAT I do know! Just you wait cause like I said before: name an ally I won't kill

to THINK, to literally THINK i wanted adam out at a point in this game. adam is literally the only person i trust in this game, i will be the kingmaker for him to get the win he deserves. what a genuinely lovely man, im so glad we are both still here. it sounds like there is a blindside being cooked up for little old me this round and for what...i'm borderline inactive, i cant connect with anyone in this game like... voting me for what... for literally what. also if jake is voting for me i will literally scream into the void this is so stupid for him. i am literally so far up his ass in this game all season and yet he wants to send me packing and for what. adam literally is my god send, as is devon's inability to keep literally anything a secret? like i trusted devon... so much?! and yet he literally threw me so far under the bus my squished up corpse is a 2D shape. i'm so... shook?! and also i still cant decide if i think jake is in on this, but if he is... im screaming? what a clown decision. but literally i cant believe this. im so excited to idol out one of the generic men in this game out tomorrow, they can all literally suck it up i cant wait. i want to be the kingslayer, i want to be the person who votes out amir for the first time in tumblr survivor. screw keeping big threats around, fuck that noise. i'm going to literally go through metamorphosis and become alyssa this season. i will be the mother hen who takes the bullet for my allies moving forwards, adam/autumn will make it further and further (plus jake if he is proven innocent and not a snake) anyway cast assessment: augusto - he can have such empty conversations for hours?! like this tribe confuses talking lots with social game. but like with him its a real i don't love your excess energy, go girl give us too much... would love to see him do literal anything beyond just having nothingy conversations... that does not a winner make amir - WOW his galaxy brain is so big. honestly i have to be impressed with amir, the fact he has this tribe misted that he is not the mastermind he is... a testament to his skill. i want to idol him out tomorrow adam - literally my jesus. i owe him my life in this game and i will stay true to that. i cant believe i didnt trust him at first wow... i hope adam gets the win this season autumn - my other goddess.. the literal love of my life, i want her and adam in the f3 this season if i cant make it. i want an autumn hill two time winner yes please and thank you devon - okay devon remains SUCH a sweet guy but oh my god does he play like a snake HELLO. he literally pumped me full of hot air for literally nothing wow woww wowww. he has lied to me for rounds and rounds for literally nothing... am ready to get that snake caught in a trap jake - i think the man who i was willing to give up my entire game for has been lying to me, i feel the exact same way i felt when my boyfriend cheated on me like this feels so personal... and i dont even see the endgame for jake with this hello!? my heart is broken, i literally watched sharifa play in sequester for HOURS with that man and for what?! for WHAT kendall - a literal sweetheart, never dissed. hope she goes far the only non-fraudulent one of the bunch tj -askjdlfsa he is so... stale jKLJKASDFAS like as a player go girl give us nothing. i wish he was being deadass when he said we were gonna squash our beef but i guess not huh? clownery from me i see anyway its almost 8am i need bed. im fueled by rage and im ending the generic men. adam and autumn are the loves of my life, brain, brawn and beauty are linking UP.

GORL yall better hold onto your britches this is gonna be a LONG one, so immunity happens, a music challenge, which i knew was right up my alley, i was confident going into it and tbh i had no idea what was gonna happen this round, so i decided to take a risk and use my challenge advantage, WHICH PAID OFF BECAUSE BITCH I AM T H E SONGSTRESS, DO RE MI FA SO LA TI DA UP OUT MY FACE BECAUSE YALL CANT GET ME THIS ROUND. who would've thought little old me would end up winning not one, but TWO individual immunities in a single season! im always dragging myself but for once im so PROUD of myself because with my last one there really wasnt anything to brag about, it was handed to me, which kinda did feel nice in a sense considering i know no one trusts me yet they wanted to still keep me around, but like this one was M Y own WIN like on my own merit. I'm an aries, dont ever count me out because i will deliver all the gags and all the goops so after my win, i know im 100% safe, so i start to think... hmm well idk who i want to go so i guess ill see and wait if anyone says anything to me, and then DEVON calls me and we're having a convo when all the sudden he gets real coy.... and starts going "OMG ADAM UGHHH I DONT KNOW HOW TO TELL YOU THIS OR IF I CAN OR CANT" meanwhile, obviously i wanna know the tea so im like well bitch! spill! and he tells ME that apparently, him, jakey, tj, amir, and augusto have all allegedly been in talks and want to BLINDSIDE ALI THIS ROUND because they think he has the idol...and purposely leave me and autumn out? ill get to the THOUGHTS i have on that soon, because oh, i have SEVERAL thoughts, but as he tells me this he's basically just saying OMG PLEASE IM TAKING A HUGE RISK TELLING YOU THIS DONT TELL ANYONE ELSE, which, i DO trust devon slightly, but here's where the problems began and im gonna break it down for yall, 1) ONCE AGAIN, THE BIGGEST PHONYS IN THE GAME FAKE 1 AND FAKE 2 AMIR AND AUGUSTO LMAO LIKE .... DID WE NOT JUST END THE BEEF WE HAD WITH EACH OTHER BECAUSE YALL WANTED TO GO BEHIND MY BACK AND NOT INCLUDE ME IN THE PLANS, ONLY FOR YOU TO DO THE SAME THING YET AGAIN??????? 2) Devon also TOLD me straight up and he was kinda laughing when he said it "im gonna be straight up no one trusts you in this game but i do and thats why im telling you", because AMIR/AUGUSTO ARE TELLING EVERYONE I HAVE THE IDOL FROM BEAUTY. WHY WILL NO ONE BELIEVE ME AND WHY ARE THEY BELIEVING THEM I DONT HAVE IT. LIKE I CAN OWN MY GAME AND MY MISTAKES AND THE ONLY THING IVE DONE TO DESERVE DOUBT WAS MY STUPID LIE ABOUT THE AUCTION BUT E V E R Y O N E LIED LIKE WHY AM I ALWAYS THE BAD GUY? YALL WANT ME TO BE THE BAD GUY, CHUN LI? BECAUSE GUESS WHAT, I CAN BE. ive been playing this game with ONE mindset only. I'll be semi honest with everyone, but lie to me and then you can no longer believe a word i say.... and 3) devon also told me, while he trusts me and wants to go far with me, everyone else doesnt want to take me out this round, next round, or even 7, theyre planning to go for me around like final 6......ok so what im hearing is people are ALREADY trying to plan when to take me out and while he may trust me, i basically would have no way to play the game other than with him??? which why would i just sit there and accept that fate...OH AND ALSO 4) him and everyone else really just expects me to sit back and knowingly vote against kendall, who WOULDNT be going home so they can blindside ali...... so id literally lose a friend in this and gain an enemy? do i have idiot plastered on my forehead??? well, i guess they were right not to tell me about the plan because BITCH I RAN RIGHT TO ALI. Like honestly, screw all those people, i feel like ive done NOTHING so horrible to make people dislike or distrust me so severely so i feel like i dont owe anyone a damn thing. why would i just sit complacently waiting to get picked off at 5/6 and put all my eggs in one basket when i single handedly can change the whole game right now, and thats exactly what i plan on doing. At this point im TIRED of people overlooking me and thinking they can play this game around me and get away with it, but whatever, YALL WANTED GOOD TV, YALL WANTED A SHOW WELL BUCKLE UP BECAUSE YALL MAY BE GOOD AT THIS GAME AND GOOD AT BEING FAKE, BUT YALL DONT KNOW WHAT YOU GOT YOURSELVES INTO WITH ME, IN THE WISE WORDS OF TAMMIE BROWN, YOU WANTED CRAZY, WELL YOU GOT IT NOW ali was SHOOK when i spilled the beans to him, and i told him like look this is me giving you my trust because he's the only person who's shown me respect besides autumn and even if he wasnt being genuine, at least he's being SMART AND GUESS WHAT IT'S GONNA SAVE HIS GAME BECAUSE BITCH HE TOLD ME HOW HE HAS THE IDOL- NOT JUST ONE, BUTTWO OF THEM FJADHSKJFH GORL FIRST OF ALL im so happy i can STOP PLAYING 2048 THAT DAMN GAME WAS GOING TO BE MY UNDOING, SECOND OF ALL I LITERALLY CACKLED ON CALL WHEN HE TOLD ME, I KNEW I COULD TRUST MY GUT ABOUT HIM, OH AND IT GETS EVEN BETTER HE ALSO HAS THE IDOL NULLIFIER EFSDKAJH WHICH MEANS....if we play our cards right......we can take out whoever we want, maybe everyone was right to be scared of us. I'd be scared, i think they should all be scared, yall wanted to say fuck my drag time and time again, well watch me bring it to the runway now. we also agreed we need to let autumn in on this, which could be either the BEST or WORST move....i really THINK i can trust autumn, her and ali are hands down my #1/2 in the game, and devon right behind, although if we pull this off, i told them both i dont want to get devon since he let me know this, i think even if i blindside him and dont let him know, i can at least justify myself enough to him and let him know him going home was still never an option, but i called autumn right after ali and told her all the same tea and at first she was kinda hesitant about it all, but i knew her and jakey had a good relationship so the hardest part for me i think was making her really believe he's against her which i think i did a good job of making her believe because she SPILLED the tea to me about how her/ali/jakey had an alliance, and i absolutely did just kick him out and take his place oop, which i dont trust jake at all because something about him/amir/augusto is so shady, you mean to tell me they voted you out and he hasnt tried to go for them or vice versa this whole time.... my gut is telling me they're in kahoots, and would 100% be a solid 3 against me down the line... my whole game rn hinges on autumn believing me because its the TRUTH i just told her what i was told but clearly i painted it a little more my way oops, so as of now the plan is autumn and me will both keep playing dumb tomorrow, then around 7 pm we're gonna "tell ali" the plan (which i already told him) but autumn doesnt know he has the idol yet, so ali will confirm it to her, and we'll make our move. I'm going to push for it to be amir, i want him OUT OF THIS GAME. im SICK of him and augusto prancing around like the wicked step sisters and treating me like cinderella. but who knows, maybe devon telling me was strategy on his part so i tell ali and we flush the idol and they vote autumn, but i have to hope that all those people are good enough with autumn that they dont want to do that just yet... but i mean, ali does have 2 so we already said if we feel like we need to use both, one for him and one for autumn, it's an option. Also if any of them have the idol ... this could become a mess if someone plays one right after ali, this could also just fall apart if they split the votes 3/3 sedkfha the odds of me actually getting my way....are feeling slim, but im gonna be hopeful because it's all i got, if this works, it could be my winning move, but if it fails, and there's a high chance it fails.... im gone next round... but with ali staying i dont think thatll happen, he's a shield for me and someone i can trust, im taking a page from the michele winners at war book, and he's my jeremy. I trust him, and i need him in this game for at least a few more rounds or im just gonna be dragged along and disposed of at some point. And if i leave then whatever at least i can say i caused chaos, which im always down for.

So I think Ali is getting sketched out by this vote, so now I am working with Jakey and Devon to figure out a plan to make Ali feel safe and not play an idol. But I'm like... oh dear... this could really blow up in our faces if this doesn't work. And I'm over here trying to communicate now to everyone what is going on so that they don't panic and I'm like... wasn't I just on the bottom? Now I feel like I have some kind of power again? I like this feeling, but also, it be scary as fuck.

If last round was the calm before the storm, this round is a full on hurricane of a vote. I have spent the past round or so trying to rally the troops against Ali and I think it can finally happen? He has two idols, a vote reveal, a idol blocker, and a killer social game so these people need to smell the roses and get him out. I really hope I don’t leave but if this is my undoing, at least I tried to make a move!

tribal is in a few hours and i have a WHOLE ass headache because i dont know what's gonna happen....so last night devon LITERALLY told me everyone but me/autumn were gonna be in the vote against ali... but then today he's telling me jake doesnt know he thinks......am i crazy? did i mishear?? or is he trying to gaslight me.....because i KNOW what i heard and i literally led this whole jake slander campaign to autumn and ali, autumn doesnt think we can trust jakey because i can see devon feeling nervous after telling me that and then they try to tell jake to get in good with us so he knows our plan, but it also doesnt really make sense if jakey works with them unless my conspiracy about him/amir being in kahoots makes sense....so i dont fucking know what's happening, if it were up to me this would stay between me/autumn/ali and we'll ask for forgiveness rather than permission on the next day... autumn/ali are on call rn and theyre supposed to let me know after because autumn is supposed to "spill" the tea to ali (which i already spilled last night) and then we'll go from there because since he does have the idol we just need to place our votes very carefully in conclusion; there's gonna be some angry gays one way or another after tribal (and a few confused heteros)

I don’t think anyone respects me... which is annoying because I am currently playing a social game. But even more annoying because nobody listens to me!!!!!! Like literally all we have to do is switch to Autumn!!!! Switch to Autumn and everything will be fine and no one is willing to do that. Ugghhhhhhh god damnit I’m going to lose my mind.

Summary: The annual Alpha’s Ball, where people go to find a mate, is being hosted by Tony Stark at his mansion in New York. It is a masquerade ball, and the Avengers are among the guests. But even when searching for love, things don’t always go as planned for the Avengers. For Steve, it means a chance to forget his one time love, killed during the war. For Bucky, it means a night out, trying to pick up the pieces after having fled his former lover. What it means for the pair of them is a revelation of secrets and twisted plots - - and a chance at a possible new beginning … together.

Steve Rogers is getting by just fine spending every Friday night by himself, thank you very much, until his classmate Peggy invites him to come see her favorite local band. One look at the lead singer Bucky, and it’s lust at first sight. The next thing he knows, Steve is outside making out with the guy of his dreams, but it’s never that simple - Bucky’s bandmate Natasha finds them outside and all but drags Bucky back inside by his ear.

Steve’s not sure where to go from here, but he’s pretty sure, somehow or another, he’s gonna have to see Bucky again.

When Steve meets the singer of Crimson Riot, on whom he may or may not be harbouring a years long crush, and gets offered a job, Steve thinks it’s a dream come true. Getting paid to go on tour with his favourite band and create art? It’ll just take some time to get used to the rockstar lifestyle.But as he gets to know James “Bucky” Barnes, and sees what’s underneath the drugs and the cocky attitude, he gives himself a new job: Help Bucky before it’s too late.

Relationships: James “Bucky” Barnes/Steve Rogers, Peggy Carter/Angie Martinelli, Sharon Carter/Steve Rogers (past)

Summary:

Steve Rogers is an excellent judge of character. No, really! But, as Peggy puts it: when it comes to love his head tends to override his heart. When his girlfriend leaves him for a model Steve wonders if he’ll ever find the right partner; maybe it’s time to stop looking.Naturally, this is when he (quite literally) runs into Jim Buchanan, a fashion exec who (also literally) makes Steve weak-in-the-knees. Sure, that might just be the concussion but they do seem to have some sort of chemistry. Jim’s sweet and funny, walks his neighbor’s rescue dog and can do over 300 chin-ups without pausing to catch his breath (Steve’s new apartment has a great view), so clearly there must be something horrible he’s trying to keep secret.(A Head Over Heels adaptation)

Can two idiots stop bickering long enough to confess their true feelings for one another? Steve and Bucky will attempt to answer this question in just twelve short years!

An updated re-imagining of a romcom classic, starring Steve Rogers, a bird-boned, hopeless romantic with a stubborn streak, and Bucky Barnes, a laid-back Lothario (dubious on both counts) with a heart of gold and more bad Star Wars puns than Mark Hamill himself! Also features supporting roles by Natasha ‘We All Wish We Were That Cool’ Romanoff, Samuel ‘Has His Shit Together, Unlike All of You Dweebs’ Wilson, Clint 'Are You Going to Finish That Slice’ Barton, and many more!

When Loki is bored, suddenly, nothing is easy.

Framed for stealing the Reality Stone from his best friend (and former lover!) Steve, Bucky finds himself accused of the crime and sentenced to death. When the Council doesn’t believe that Bucky is innocent, Steve swears to be executed in Bucky’s place, giving him time to seek out Loki and recover the stone from Loki’s realm of Jotunheim

Accompanied by a ship full of stalwart adventurers, and Steve’s fiance, Tony Stark – who doesn’t trust Bucky as far as he can throw him! – the ship, Hydra, faces sirens, snowbirds, and living islands to make it to Loki’s realm, recover the stone and save Steve’s life. The biggest problem? Bucky can’t forget his old lover, but at the same time, finds himself falling in love with Steve’s boyfriend.

for the ashes of his fathers (and the kingdoms of his gods) - ‘Oblivion’ stucky AU by LadyNimrodel

Steve and Natasha are an effective team. They work for Shield’s Control Station, built after the planet was destroyed in the war with the Scavs. They are left on a broken and barren planet to keep the drones running that protect the hydra rigs, which collect precious water for what’s left of humanity, now living in a colony on one of Saturn’s moons.

What Steve knows is this: the Scav attacks are getting worse, even though they lost the war nearly fifty years ago. In two weeks he and Natasha are leaving to join the rest of humanity. And that neither of them want to leave earth.

What he doesn’t know is why the Scavs are attacking again, why everything Control tells them feels wrong, and why he keeps dreaming of a man with grey-blue eyes and a familiar smile and who Steve doesn’t remember.

In a race against time, Steve and his partner Natasha turn to him for help and Bucky agrees, while secretly fighting against his growing attraction for the nice blond federal agent.

Summary: Humanity’s dwindling numbers hang by a thread and the last of the Traveler’s strange, powerful Light grows dimmer by the day. With their fearsome, unknown enemy closing in, it falls on the Guardians to defend the last of Earth’s people. Steve, only recently reborn and still learning the limits of his inhuman abilities, is thrown headfirst into an unceasing battle for life itself. Falling in love with a mysterious, reticent Hunter isn’t really part of the plan, but Steve’s always been flexible. Now if he could just convince the object of his affections to admit he’s in love, too, these long days of war might even be worth the trouble.

“You’re a madman,” Bucky informs him fondly. Steve steps forward, using both hands to grab the edges of Bucky’s hood and pulling until the material lies neat and even.

“Probably,” he agrees amiably, and hops backwards off the cliff.

Summary:

“I can look after myself.” Steve bristled. “And how about you? You go around taking on three fighters from the Hip Sing Tong on a regular basis?”

“Sure,” the guy said, and then he gave Steve a big grin. “I don’t like bullies either.”

“Jeez, we’re two of a kind, ain’t we?” Steve laughed and stuck out his hand. “Steve Rogers.”

The guy took his hand in a firm grip.

“Bucky Dyun.”

“Bucky?”

“Yeah, unless you want to call me Pok Chi like my ma does.”

“Bucky it is.”

Steve Rogers doesn’t know much about Chinese culture when he makes a wrong turn in Chinatown. But a chance meeting gives him not only a new friend, but an entry into a whole new world. The more he learns from Bucky, the closer they get, until Bucky is so much more than a friend. But when a Chinese gang goes after Bucky and his family, Steve knows he needs to stand up and make sure the man he loves doesn’t lose everything.

Summary: There is an old Chinese myth about a red string of Fate, that is intertwined around two souls by the gods. The cord may stretch, or tangle, but never break. Two boys fall in love in Brooklyn, slowly and full of promise. As they fall, their string unwinds to catch them. Seventy five years later, that string finds its way back home. After the Winter Soldier pulls Steve Rogers out of the Potomac, he isn’t quite sure where to begin putting the pieces back together. Steve Rogers is spending his time pulling on threads, while trying to follow his own. Their strings will pull them through memories and doubt, until they wind up on a pier, wound together again.

Bucky stood in a line with a bunch of other men at parade rest. All the men were probably as scared as Bucky, and, like Bucky, none of them willing to show it.

His papers had come in the mail. It wasn't like he hadn't been expecting them. His father had looked grim. His mother had not been able to stop crying. She had always been religious, but she started attending mass two times a day and three times on Sundays. She tried to make Bucky come too, but he didn’t really see much point to it. He’d never been very religious.

Summary: When the Statue of Liberty slides into view, the whole ship roars. It’s deafening. Bucky throws his fist in the air and yells along with everyone else. His heart is in his throat. The Statue of goddamn Liberty. Bucky wants to climb up her robe and kiss her sour green face.

The cheers rise up again as they go by her, and then die back down; most of the guys are just happy to sit and smile and watch the city float lazily into focus. They know they’ve got days more of barracks and bunks and cheap train seats before they’ll get to see their families in Pittsburgh, or Columbus, or Chicago. But Bucky’s home, he can see Brooklyn, and he laughs and shades his eyes from the sun and feels crazy with happiness, and this has to be the slowest fucking boat in the world, but at least he has a good view while he dies of impatience.

In 1945, Bucky comes home from the war.

Summary: A man exits the building. Approximately 5’6”, thin, tired-looking. A suitable target. He needs someone he can overpower quickly and quietly. He’s injured from the fight on the helicarriers, and weak from hunger, and blood-loss.

A streetlight illuminates the target’s face as he passes under it. That one brief glimpse of a narrow face and glowing blond hair sets his heart rate climbing. Something presses at the edges of his mind, like the wingbeats of night moths against a pane of glass. He ignores it, like he ignores the phantom voice that comes when he’s too long out of cryo. He walks towards the target, knife in hand.

What if… What if Captain America died on the Valkyrie. What if he was reborn. What if the Winter Soldier met him after the fall of the helicarriers.

For as long as Steve could remember, all he ever wanted to do was what was right. So when he hears about his father’s old regiment being held as POW’s by the Nazis, he’s determined to put what Doctor Erskine gave him to good use and goes AWOL to rescue them.

But the 107th isn’t all he finds there. Deep in the labs is a very unusual prisoner; one with snakes in his hair and a mask nailed to his face. Despite the man’s monstrous visage, Steve can’t in good conscience leave him to the enemy. That one act of mercy will change his life, the course of the war, and even the future of the world.

Summary:

Sarah “Gwen” Rogers was nineteen when she married Bucky Barnes, and she knew at the time just how stupid it was: it wasn’t exactly a brilliant move to marry a man who could never love her, even—or especially—when she knew that she was in love with him.

Neither of them could have predicted the war that came, and if they had, then they sure as hell couldn’t have predicted what would happen when Gwen volunteered for Project: Rebirth.

Summary: Simply put, Bucky was different now. It had taken a heaping dose of pain for Steve to get that fact through his thick skull, but they were finally on the same page…sort of. Unfortunately, ‘sort of’ wasn’t making things easier. Like an idiot, Steve had expected instantaneous rainbows and sunshine to bathe them in happiness, but all he saw was a giant wall of stubborn and bacon flying at his head.

Bucky and Clint covering their mouths so Steve couldn’t hear them whispering? It hurt. Bucky and Tony laughing at unfunny jokes about torture? It hurt. Bucky and Nat exchanging secret spy glances? It hurt like hell. But Sam declaring himself ‘Team Bucky’? That downright sucked. Once, Bucky had given those pieces of himself to Steve…and only Steve. That was the problem: Steve wasn’t the boy Bucky fell in love with, he wasn’t Captain America, and he wasn’t even doing a good job at being Steve Rogers. Their foundation lost, the question had become, ‘Now what?’

They sucked at it, but they were trying. The fighting, laughing, panicking, hugging, sarcasm, make-up sex, and yes, flying bacon proved that. Not so simply put: Relationships are never a straight line; especially when you both get frozen and end up in the wrong century.

Summary:

It went like this.

James Buchanan Barnes aka Bucky aka the Winter Solider knocked on Steven Grant Rogers aka Steve aka Captain America’s door at precisely 5:47 am on Tuesday morning. And Steve who, despite all his training, was known to catch a case of “overtrusting idiot” every now and again, shuffled sleepily to the door and swung it open, yawning out a “can I help you?” without even fully opening his eyes.

He blinked when he noticed Bucky standing there, long hair hanging limply under a hat pulled down low, metal hand hidden surreptitiously in his left pocket, giving him a shy sort of smile. Steve had to grip the doorframe to keep from falling to his knees.

Bucky, who was much more composed, simply said, “Hey, Steve.”

Summary:

Steve Rogers looks for death, that elusive fucker dodging him left and right. He stares at walls, talks to ghosts and smokes a boatload of weed. He has a homeless friend who sells stuff on the sidewalk. He eats greasy burgers and barbecue chips. He works for S.H.I.E.L.D., because why the hell not? Yet, unwittingly, there are several things he rediscovers: communism, sex, and then, unbowed, unbroken and very much unhinged, the only equal to his insanity: Bucky Barnes.

Summary: Steve Rogers has always relied on the fact that Bucky Barnes is a major part of his life, and his burgeoning crush on his best friend shouldn’t alarm him. It doesn’t, in fact, but Steve has always had the worst timing in life. He anticipated problems but not problems like this. Enter: boarding school for rich kids, death, assassins, mutants, a road trip, and what could possibly be a government-wide conspiracy. Steve may not even make it to college.

But then his old high school buddy, Steve Rogers, drops back into his life, and suddenly classwork and studying and getting into a great grad school are the last thing on his mind.

The Least I Can Do (Part 4)

Summary: Jensen takes the reader to her audition to see if she’ll get the part...

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

Pairing: Jensen x reader

Word Count: 3,100ish

Warnings: language

A/N: I love how cute these are...

“Morning sleepyhead,” said Jensen when you walked out of your bedroom, already dressed and ready to go.

“Thanks for staying over last night,” you said, a couple of blankets on your couch folded neatly.

“I know that last episode with the guy behind the door creeped you out a bit,” he said, turning his back and putting a plate full of eggs down at one of your barstools.

“Yeah, I’m not good with scary,” you said, taking a seat and smiling. “I was going to make breakfast. You’re the guest here.”

“Well you’re my girlfriend and you’ve got a big day so I wanted you to have one less thing to worry about,” he said, sliding a plate over for himself and sitting beside you. “You’re blushing ya know.”

“Am not,” you said, heat rising to your cheeks.

“Does someone like being called my girlfriend?” he teased.

“Maybe,” you said.

“You’ll do fine,” he said, patting the top of your head. “It’s just a few words on a piece of paper.”

“Don’t get your hopes up,” you said, taking a few bites.

“Want me to drive you?” he asked. “It’s my day off.”

“I can do it on my own,” you said. “It’s not hard to get there.”

“Okay then,” he said. “We should get lunch when you’re done if you’re free this afternoon.”

“Yeah, that sounds good,” you said. The two of you quickly ate and Jensen went up to his apartment to give you a minute to gather yourself. You were a little nervous but it wasn’t like anyone was expecting anything great from you so if you messed up, it wasn’t the end of the world. “I got this.”

After grabbing your jacket and bag you were headed down to the parking garage only to find Jensen standing by the end of one of the cars.

“Ready?” he asked, waving you over.

“I said-”

“I know but they called me this morning. Guess who you’re reading with,” he said. “Come on, we don’t want to be late.”

“But I was leaving early,” you said, walking over and sliding into the passenger seat.

“I’m the one who’s cutting it close. We have to figure out what we want to run by you,” said Jensen, sitting down and watching the sigh escape you. “Don’t worry so much and just have fun.”

“I’ll try.”

Your knee was bouncing like crazy as you sat in a hard plastic chair outside a room. You’d already seen two girls go in and come back out looking happy. Yeah you definitely weren’t getting this.

“Y/N? You ready?” asked a friendly looking woman when she came out.

“As I’m going to be,” you said, standing and walking in with the few pages they’d given you to go over. When you got in there you saw about four people at a table and Jensen over to the side reading over his pages.

“So you’re Y/N,” said the man directly in the middle. “This is your first audition right?”

“Yeah,” you said a little quietly before finding your voice. “I’m ready whenever you are.”

“Jensen?” someone asked and he popped his head up. “You ready?”

“Let’s hope third times the charm,” he said, walking over to where a chair sat in the middle of the room where Dean was supposed to be for the scene.

“Y/N, go ahead and start when you want,” the man said. You waited a beat for Jensen to sit and for you to forget all about how you could still taste the breakfast he’d made or how good his shampoo smelled. Until someone ended the scene, that was Dean.

“Dean,” you said, making your voice a little hard but mostly worried. “Dean.”

“What,” said Jensen, his voice a little deeper, his head dipped low as if the weight of the world was suddenly on him.

“You couldn’t have known that-”

“Y/N, I appreciate whatever you’re doing but if you wouldn’t mind leaving me alone tonight,” said Jensen, staring down at his lap.

“Okay,” you said softly, reaching your hand up to rub over the top of his head. That wasn’t on the page but you hoped no one said anything about it. “I’ll leave you alone.”

Jensen had another line but you were stroking the top of his head and maybe he got distracted because it took him a second to realize he was supposed to speak.

“Wait,” he said, voice strange, vulnerable. “I-I..”

“I know,” you said, moving your arms to wrap loosely around his neck and rest your chin on top of his head. “I know.”

“Alright, thanks guys,” said the man at the table. “Want to try the other scene now?”

You nodded and shortly after, you’d finished that one as well. You waited outside in the hall for probably half an hour, waiting for Jensen to come out and tell you did good but that they picked someone else. Instead you saw the same woman from before calling you back in.

There were more people in the room now and someone was asking you to come over to a table where a stack of papers were.

“Y/N, would you mind taking a seat?” asked the woman and you did as told, at the head of the table, a lot of eyes on you. You searched for a pair of green ones that were trying their best not to show the smile on his face.

“No way,” you said. “I’m not...”

“You were better than who we originally picked,” said the man from your audition. “A lot better. You are a free agent at the moment according to your model agency. It’s a ten episode deal, runs through end of the season with an expectation to have you back next year for the whole year.”

“But then I can’t model,” you said, reaching forward and taking the stack of papers from him.

“We know,” he said. “Maybe you can do some on the side but it’d be a career change for sure.”

“How long do I have to look this over?” you asked, knowing the contract would take all day to go through let alone negotiate.

“We’ll go over the specifics but it’s all good,” said a man sat next to Jensen. “People starting out don’t get deals like this. Career people don’t get deals like this.”

“And you are?” you asked, Jensen biting back a laugh.

“He’s my agent. Yours too if you want him to be,” said Jensen. “It’s a good deal. Not that I’m impartial.”

“Well let’s take a look at this thing,” you said, flipping through it. After about five seconds you were trying to keep your jaw from dropping.

This was far better than any deal you’d ever hoped to have as a model.

“Y/N, let’s step outside for a minute,” said Jensen’s agent and you quickly followed after with papers in hand. You were back in fifteen minutes and stopped behind your chair, looking down the table.

“One minor condition,” you said, hearing the heavy sigh settle over the room. “I have to know. I didn’t get this because of him, right?” you said pointing at Jensen.

“No. You got it because you know how to play this character. Jensen has no bearing on this decision,” they said.

“I guess I start my first day tomorrow then,” you said, handing them the papers you’d already signed. Most people took the time to smile before popping off and running off to their various departments, leaving you with Jensen and a few stragglers. “But really, how did they pick me? I have no experience.”

“You ruffled his hair. The page said to have a stern voice but it was really a test of reading between the lines,” said the man who you’d figured out was head of casting. “Plus he’s practically drooling over you. It’s a perfect fit. Now if you don’t mind, I’ve got to go get you set up so you get a paycheck this week.”

“I’m going to get her set up on my end too,” said your new agent. “Thanks for the call this morning Jay.”

“I know you won’t screw her over,” said Jensen. “We’ll catch up later this week. Y/N’s got a busy day ahead of her.”

“See you guys,” he said, waving as he left Jensen to lead you out another door, taking you outside.

“So, you want to get lunch now Tay?” said Jensen. You bumped into him and felt him laugh under you.

“Sure thing Dean,” you said. Jensen’s hand brushed against yours and yours fell into it naturally. “Today’s been like...I can’t believe I’m really going to be on TV. I should call my parents.”

“Want to tell them all about me?” he teased, seeing your eye roll. “Give ‘em a call and then I’ll take you out. I have to get you back here by 1 so you can do costume fittings and then you’ve got a script to start learning for tomorrow.”

“I can’t wait.”

Tuesday you barely slept from being so excited. Jensen was waiting in your lobby when you got downstairs and the two of you headed out in the early morning air to the car waiting for you.

“Morning Jensen. Y/N. I heard someone got a new job,” said your driver, pulling out. “I’m guessing that date went well after all.”

“He’s not so bad to have as a boyfriend,” you said, Jensen smiling mid-yawn. Your trip to work was short at that time of day and you quickly realized after getting out of the car you had no idea where to go.

“Let’s drop off my stuff then we’ll figure out where your home away from home is,” said Jensen, taking your hand once more. “Your little fingers are cold.”

“I should have worn gloves,” you said, your breath fogging up the air.

“I’ll warm ‘em up for you,” said Jensen, rubbing your hands together. You giggled at how ridiculous he looked but found he was smiling at the sound.

“Such a gentleman,” you said, spotting a man you recognized from Friday night when you got close to Jensen’s trailer.

“Hi Y/N! Want me to show you around? I’m TJ by the way,” he said, holding out a hand.

“Thanks TJ,” you said. “Mind if we wait for Jensen?”

“He better not,” said Jensen, opening his door and tossing his bag inside before shutting it. “Come on, let’s-”

“You need to change,” said TJ, pointing Jensen back inside. “Y/N’s just down the row. You’ll see her on set.”

“Alright boss,” said Jensen. “See you soon sweetheart.”

“See ya Jay,” you said, TJ already waving you to follow after. You had a small but nice trailer and found an outfit in the closet, TJ explaining that’s where you’d find whatever you were supposed to wear that day or one of the outfits you’d put on. Today there was just the one that they’d decided on being Tay’s look. Dark tight jeans that hugged your curves, very pretty dark brown boots that you immediately wanted to go buy a pair of, a black short sleeve tee that was soft and had a not too small or big collar and an olive military style jacket with a dark sweatshirt hood.

“Okay, let’s get you over to hair and makeup,” said TJ, helping you get to where you needed to go as you chuckled to yourself. “Don’t tell me you’re about to have a nervous breakdown.”

“No it’s just I almost bought this exact jacket for myself but ran out of time that day. I went back the next and they were sold out,” you said. “I’ve got a feeling of who might have done that now.”

“Sorry about that. You can probably sneak one home for yourself if you want. Hell you’ll probably wear one home when you’re tired one of these days,” said TJ, pointing out the trailer you were to go to. “Jared’s already inside. He’ll get you to set and bring you around where to grab some coffee if you want.”

“Thanks,” you said, walking across the lot and up the steps inside to see some of the women from Friday.

“Oh I was hoping I’d get to play with that head of hair again,” said the hairdresser who was working on Jared.

“Come on in Y/N,” said the makeup artist. “It’ll be the same look we did last time.”

“Y/N, I bet you weren’t expecting this a week ago,” said Jared, closing his eyes as you felt a brush of something be wiped over your cheek.

“No, not really,” you said. “I’m taking a chance on something new.”

“Jensen’s excited. He wouldn’t stop texting me last night about it. He wanted your first day to go well,” said Jared, a hand on your arm quickly pulling you up and moving you over to where he sat. “I guess we’re switching.”

“You know the drill Jared,” said your hairdresser. “Seriously, Y/N, how do you make it so soft?”

“Um, I just use head and shoulders. Nothing special. I never dyed it or anything though,” you said.

“Let’s hope we never have to,” she said, working away on putting it in the same side braid as before.

“Am I supposed to be Katniss or something?” you joked and they smirked.

“No. You’ll get braids and buns and pretty up do’s mostly. You’ll be running around a lot so having hair down all the time will be a pain. Probably dressier scenes we’ll do that for you,” she said, patting your shoulder. “Alright, you two are all done. Get out of here so we can take care of Ackles and Collins when they show up.”

“Oh yeah, you haven’t met Misha yet,” said Jared, smiling to himself. “Want to prank him?”

“Jared,” you said, following him outside and down the lot towards one of the studios. “Maybe I should meet him before I start doing that kind of stuff.”

“This is your one and only pass, Y/N,” said Jared. “Next time, you’re picking a side.”

“Wait, you aren’t going to prank me are you?” you asked, watching him shrug. “Dude!”

“No one is safe. Especially you,” he said, stopping at a trailer that looked like all the others and running back out with two coffees. “Here.”

“Thanks. But why especially me?” you asked. “I mean, I think we’d make better allies than enemies.”

“True but you’re the newest person on set. Gotta pay your dues,” he said.

“We’ll see how that works out for you Padalecki,” you said, raising an eyebrow. “It ain’t all sweet under here.”

“I know. That’s why I like you,” said Jared, stopping outside a door and pointing up. “If that light is ever on, don’t go in. It means they’re filming.”

“Okay,” you said, following him inside and walking around until you came to a huge room that looked like a library. “Wow. Beats those crappy motel rooms they stay in all the time.”

“Still on the first season?” asked Jared. You hummed and followed him around as he pointed out some things like tape on the floor, how to not look at the camera and to not be insulted if they ever had you stand on something so you weren’t so short compared to the guys. “Got all that?”

“Tape, camera, you’re a freak of nature? Yup,” you said, spotting Jensen walk in wearing a gray plaid shirt.

“Surviving your first day?” he asked.

“We haven’t even started filming yet,” you said. “What’s to survive?”

“Jared...nope just Jared,” said Jensen, earning a slap on his back. Jensen whacked him back and you saw a look cross between them.

“Boys,” you muttered under your breath, walking around and introducing yourself to some people until someone was pointing you to head back.

“So we’re picking up at the start of the episode, introducing Tay to the Winchesters,” said a guy in a black baseball hat he had on backwards. “Winchesters be freaked out since Tay got in the bunker somehow. Tay be freaked out because you got in the bunker somehow. Let’s just play with it for fifteen minutes and then we’ll start shooting.”

“Ready, sweetheart?” asked Jensen, taking a step back and getting into position.

“Let’s do this.”

“Ah,” you said that night, plopping down on Jensen’s couch. “This is nice.”

“How’d your first day go?” he asked, walking over and handing you a drink. “I’ve got some left over casserole heating up in the oven for us.”

“You’re a saint,” you said, rolling over onto your back to look up at him. “It was actually really fun. Long day but I enjoyed it. I didn’t know you could have fun at work.”

“We didn’t even prank you yet either,” he said, moving around the couch and picking up your feet to lay over his lap. “I’m really glad you got the part.”

“Me too. I get to hang out with you all day,” you said. “Plus it’s fun pretending to be some really badass person.”

“You are in your own way. I mean you’re dating me so that by default makes you awesome,” he said, hands moving over your toes. “Why are you so cold? I need to make you warm.”

“I’m going to keep you,” you said, his large hands warming up your freezing feet fast, giving you a massage at the same time.

“Good. I like back massages,” he said, plopping down over top of you, holding himself up so he wasn’t crushing your body.

“I can’t return the favor in this position Ackles,” you said, watching his head dip low.

“I was looking for something else,” he mumbled against your lips. You smiled as he kissed you and returned it, only breaking away when the oven beeped off. “You...I’m keeping you too.”

“Why thank you,” you said, sitting up with him and heading over to his kitchen table. “But honestly, what did you think of me today?”

“I think you showed up and no one would have any idea you haven’t been doing this for years. You’re a natural. You love stories. I’m really excited to see the reaction when your first episode airs,” he said. “They’re going to like you.”

“I only care at the moment if you like me,” you said, watching a plate full of food appear in front of you.

“I always like you. Now the real question is, how many episodes are we binging tonight?”
