Tumblr media
pairing: jake ‘hangman’ seresin x wife!reader
characters: jake seresin, y/n seresin, grayson seresin, kennedy seresin, dagger squad, penny benjamin
warnings: third person pov, she/her pronouns used, domestic hangman, grayson feels like a burden bc of his injuries, i believe that’s it
word count: ~2.9k
a/n: 3/3 (1/3) okay so I know i said this was supposed to be 3 parts but had i done this last part all at once it would have been unproportional: 3.4k (part 1), 2.9k (part 2) and then 9.4k (part 3)
soooo i broke part three up into 3 parts 
lightly proof-read
part 3 summary: after nearly losing his son, jake decides to tell the team about his family and invites them to his home for a cookout
part 3.1 summary: the morning of the cookout and the seresins are getting ready
pt 1  pt 2  pt 3.2  pt 3.3
*******
Saturday was finally here, and Y/N was stressing out over everything.
“Kenni, did you pick your toys up out of the backyard?” She asked as she moved around the kitchen. “Yes, Mama.” “Did you get your toys out of the living room?” “Yes, Mama.” “Did you put them away, away?” Nothing. “Kennedy, did you put your toys away?” “I put them in my room.” Y/N shrugged, “Good enough for now. They won’t go in there.”
“Y/N, Sweetheart, slow down. It’s not even ten o’clock yet. People won’t show up until three.” 
Turning to Jake, Y/N threw her dusting rag at him, “Doesn’t mean I can’t make sure the house is clean.” He laughs with a shake of his head and throws the rag back at her, “Whatever you say.”
Grayson’s voice cut through the morning cartoon his sister was watching, “Dad!” “Yeah?” “Could you bring me a water?” Jake turns to the fridge, grabbing a cold bottle out of it, “Be there in a second!” “Kay, thank you!”
ake placed the cold bottle on the back of his wife’s neck. “Jacob!” He chuckled, “Let me get this to Grayson and then I’ll help.” “Thank you, Honey.” “Of course.”
*******
After Y/N and Jake cleaned the kitchen, living room, downstairs bathroom, and picked up the backyard they got the kids ready.
Now yes, Grayson was 16 but he also just got home from the hospital and needed someone just in case.
“Ken, do you have an outfit picked out to meet Daddy’s friends?” Y/N asked, walking into the living room from outside. She shook her head. Y/N nodded, “That’s okay. Do you want to pick it out yourself, do you want Mama and Daddy to help you pick, or do you want Mama to pick?” “Can you and Daddy help me pick? I want them to like it.” “Princess, they’re gonna love it. They saw a photo of you the other day and they can’t wait to meet you,” Jake said as he squatted in front of her.
“I’m right here, Dad,” Grayson teased. Jake rolled his eyes playfully, “They can’t wait to meet you either kiddo.”
Y/N looked between her son and her husband. “Hey, Kenni, why don’t you go up and pick out three pairs of bottoms and three shirts? Daddy and I will be up in a minute.” The five year old nodded and happily ran up the stairs on all fours. Y/N shook her head laughing, “That girl…” “She’s your daughter, for sure.”
“Grayson, did you pick something out or were you just gonna wing it about thirty minutes before?” Grayson sighed, “Mama, my clothes are upstairs. I can’t go upstairs. But I do have an outfit in mind.” 
Y/N nodded, “Okay. Well let us get Ken sorted out and then will get your clothes for you okay, just send me the clothes you want.” He nodded, “Okay.” “Change the channel if you want,” Jake said when he stood up.
Both Y/N and Jake headed up the stairs.
“Do they know?” Y/N asked when they got to the top of the stairs. Sighing, he shook his head, “No, but I wasn’t gonna tell them without you.” She nodded, “Okay, do they even know he’s 16?” Jake shook his head, “I’m honestly not sure how old they think he is.” Y/N let out a shaky breath, “Okay.”
“Hey,” he grabbed her shoulders. “I know you’re nervous. But they are going to love all of you. They will not give two shits, okay. If I thought they’d have a problem with it, I wouldn’t have wanted you to meet them. Your happiness and the kids’ happiness are my top priority.”
She nodded, “I know. I love you.” He kissed her, “I love you too. Now, let’s go see what Kennedy has picked out for herself.”
When they got to their daughter's room, she was actually cleaning but had the 3 outfits on her bed.
“Princess, what are you doing?” Kennedy just shrugged, “Putting toys away. I picked outfits, so I put my toys away.” Both of her parents smiled at her.
Kennedy usually found things to busy herself with if she had to. She got that from Jake; ‘I did a task, let me see what else I can do while I still have the energy to do it.’
“Thank you, Sweetheart. Good job,” Y/N praised her daughter. They had learned when Grayson was little that praise encourages them to do things like this without really having to be asked.
“Let’s see what you’ve got picked out, okay?” Jake said as he lowered himself to the floor. Y/N sat right by the bed and looked over what she had picked out. Kennedy came over and sat in Jake’s lap.
“Okay, how do we wanna do this?” Kennedy just shrugged. Y/N nodded, “Alright. Let’s tackle the bottoms first. Do you want to wear a skirt or shorts?” Kennedy hesitated, “Hmmm, shorts.” Y/N sat the skirt aside. “Okay, and do you want jean shorts or shorts like Mama has on?” Jake asked, referring to the athletic shorts Y/N had on. “Jean.” Y/N pulled down the jean shorts and put them in her lap.
“Which shirt do you want? Captain America, cow, or plane?”
Kennedy adored Captain America, mainly because he reminded her of her dad; which is the cutest thing. The ‘cow’ shirt was actually a University of Texas ‘Longhorn’ shirt that her aunt sent her for her birthday. Then the ‘plane’ shirt was actually one of Y/N’s old shirts, with a tiny paper airplane on it, that her mom made into a shirt for her granddaughter. And underneath it says ‘h_ng-girl’ because Kennedy loves her dad.
“Plane!” She said excitedly. Y/N smiled, glancing at Jake who was smiling down at his daughter. “Alright, sweet pea, let's put it on and see what Daddy thinks,” Y/N said, getting up and holding her hand out. “No peeking,” Kennedy said as she got up. Jake laughed and covered his eyes, “No peeking.”
Y/N quickly changed her daughter’s clothes, “Okay, you can look now, Jake.”
Jake slid his hand down his face, arching a brow as he looked over. “Princess, you look beautiful.” Kennedy giggled and ran to her dad, arms wrapping around his neck. 
“Ken, do you want to help get Bubba's clothes and take them to him?” She nodded and followed Y/N out of the bedroom, Jake not too far behind.
Grabbing what Grayson had texted her out of his drawers, Y/N handed the items to her daughter, “Will you go give these to Grayson, sister?” Kennedy nodded, wrapping her arms around the sweat-shorts and black t-shirt before running out of the room.
“Kennedy, be careful! Do not run down the stairs!” Y/N called out, peeking out the door frame just to see Kennedy slide downstairs on her butt.
She groaned and rested her head on Jake’s chest, “That girl is you made over I swear.” Jake chuckled and kissed the top of her head, “You love it.” She hummed and wrapped her arms around his waist, “That I do.”
Placing a kiss to his chest, Y/N pulled back, “I’m gonna shower. You go help Grayson, and then you shower while I’m getting ready.” “Yes, ma’am,” Jake mock saluted and kissed her.
Jake went to the living room where Grayson was still propped up on the couch, watching something on the TV. “You ready?”
Grayson jumped a little, startled by Jake’s sudden presence in the room. “Uh, yeah.” He moves to push himself up off the couch, but Jake stops him. “Grayson,” Jake helped him get to his crutches before grabbing the clothes off the couch.
“How are your ribs?” “A little sore, I need to put ice on them but I can do that after I change.” Jake nodded and followed him to the guest room and waited outside after placing the clothes on the bed.
It was silent for a minute before Grayson spoke, “Hey Dad?” Jake could hear the anxiety in his voice. “What’s up, kid?” He heard him sigh. “Grayson, what’s wrong?” “I don’t know. I just- I feel like I’m gonna be a major buzzkill.” “They’ll understand, Gray.”
“Um, hey, could you come in here?” Jake glanced at Kennedy who was curled into a pillow watching the movie that was on. “Yeah.”
Grayson was sitting on the bed, “Could you, uh, could you help me with my shoes?” Jake nodded and knelt down, sliding the socks onto Grayson’s feet.
“God, I feel like a child.” “Technically, you are.” Jake chuckled and looked up, clearing his throat when he saw the unamused look on his son’s face. “Not helping, got it.” Grayson groaned and rubbed his face.
“Talk to me, what’s wrong?” Grayson hit the mattress with his hands, “I just- I hate this. And it’s only been 6 days, Dad. 6 days!” “It’s hard, I remember when your mom was on crutches, she hated it.” 
“I feel useless, you know. Like I can’t help you or Mom around the house. Mom can’t go to work because I can’t do anything for myself… it sucks.” Jake nodded, listening to his son talk and jerked his head up when Grayson sniffled.
Jake abandoned the shoe in his hand and sat beside him. “Hey, hey, hey. It’s okay. It’s okay.” Grayson used the back of his hand to wipe his eyes, “I’m sorry.” Jake shook his head, confused, “Why are you sorry?” “For getting upset about this. For being a burden.”
Jake held his hand up, “No, that is not what we’re gonna do. You are allowed to be upset, son. This is a difficult adjustment for everyone. But never, ever think you are a burden for something that is not your fault. You got hit, you had the right of way and someone hit you. This is not your fault.”
“But Mom has to do everything for me! She’s going to have to cancel clients to babysit me because I can barely do anything for myself. She’s gonna be losing money for weeks!” “Her clients will understand,” Jake tried to reason. Grayson just shook his head.
“How about we talk more about it later with your mom? We can work something out, but right now let’s focus on tonight, yeah?” Jake offered. Grayson took in a shaky breath, “Yeah, yeah that sounds good.”
Jake smiled and moved to put Grayson’s shoe on. “Have you told Mom about any of that?” He shook his head, “No, she’s already doing so much, I didn’t want to pile on..” “Okay, we’ll make sure to talk about it later okay?” Grayson nodded and stood up with assistance from his crutches.
Jake got him an ice-pack and a towel before going upstairs to shower.
****
Upstairs, Y/N had showered and was braiding her wet hair, before putting on light makeup. “Looking good, pretty girl,” Jake said as he walked by, smacking her towel covered butt. “Thank you, pretty boy.”
Jake turned the shower on, “Grayson’s having a hard time.” Y/N sighed as she tied the small elastic in her hair. “Says he feels bad for not helping around the house,” Jake said as he undressed before stepping in the shower.
She grabbed her mascara and opened it, “He shouldn’t, it’s not his fault.” Jake stepped under the stream, “I know. I told him as much. But it didn’t change his mind. He also feels like a burden because you’re gonna have to take time off from work to take care of him.” “That boy…” She sighed and closed the mascara. “I told him that we’d talk about it later tonight.” “Sounds good.”
Y/N walked out and into their bedroom, getting dressed in a matching set of underwear.
She stepped out into the hall and at the top of the steps, but out of view, “Kennedy?” “Yeah Mama?” “Do you wanna help me pick out an outfit?”
No words were said but she could hear Grayson chuckle as Kennedy’s bare feet slapped the floor as she ran to the stairs, climbing them.
Kennedy ran past her mom, grabbing her hand and dragging her to the bedroom.
The five year old climbed up on the bed and sat down. Y/N kissed her head and went to the closet. She pulled down a sundress and stepped back into the room, “Dress? Yes or no?” Kennedy tilted her head, “Put it on!” Y/N laughed, “Oh, so you want a fashion show?” Her daughter giggled and nodded.
Shaking her head, she slipped it off the hangar and then over her head. “What do you think?” Kennedy took her pointer finger and made a circle motion, something she learned from her dad.
Y/N laughed and spun in a circle. Kennedy once again tilted her head and tapped her chin. She ultimately shook her head, “Not tonight Mama.” Y/N quickly took it off and put it back on the hangar.
She went back into the closet and tapped her chin in thought. “Ken, do you want to pick out what I try on?”
Two little feet thumped on the floor and a blonde blur was at her side soon after.
“Let’s choose pants first,” Y/N said as she picked her up. She went to the pants section of the closet and Kennedy ran her hand over the hangars. The little girl closed her eyes and went a few more seconds before stopping, “These!” She did her best to pluck the hangar of the rod.
It was a pair of light wash overalls that were distressed all over the front of the leg. Y/N took the pants from Kennedy, “Oooo, these are nice! Good choice. Now, let’s pair it with a shirt.” 
She took the hangar from her daughter and placed the article on the bed before going to her drawers. She put Kennedy down and pulled open the drawer.
Y/N had a few shirts that she wore with those pants, so she grabbed them and laid them out.
“Okay, I want you to pick one of these shirts for me to try on. Think you can do that, Kenni?” She nodded, eyes already scanning the shirts. She grabbed a ribbed white tank-top and held it out to her mom. Smiling, Y/N ruffled the girl's hair, receiving an annoyed whine in return, “Thank you, honey.”
She put on the outfit and looked at Kennedy, who was smiling and nodding. “Yeah? This it?” Kennedy nodded, “Wait!”
She ran to the chair by the bathroom door, and grabbed the button-up that was on it, “This!” Y/N laughed, “Sweetheart, that’s Daddy’s.” “And? Put it on!” She shook the shirt, urging her mom to take it. Y/N rolled her eyes fondly and put it on, cuffing the sleeve of the green denim shirt.
Y/N walked over to the full body mirror and adjusted the shirt, bending over to cuff the legs of her overalls.
“Mama, you look pretty! Doesn’t she, Daddy?”
Y/N turned to her daughter, seeing Jake drying his hair with a towel. “You’re Mama always looks pretty, K.” Kennedy rolled her eyes, “I know that, silly. But-” She gestured to her mom, “Look at her!” Jake chuckled and kissed his daughter’s forehead before going to his wife and doing the same.
“You look gorgeous, Honey.” Y/N hummed and kissed his lips, “Thank your daughter, she has impeccable taste.” Jake smiled and kissed her temple, “I love seeing you in my clothes.”
Before anything else could be said, Kennedy pulled on Y/N’s pant leg, “Can you do my hair, please?” Y/N nodded, “Of course, baby.”
She turned to Jake, “All of your clean underwear and undershirts are in the basket still.” “Thank you, Sweetheart,” he pecked her lips and spun her. “Now go, so I can get dressed.” Y/N scoffed, but giggled afterwards and nudged Kennedy out of the room towards the kids’ bathroom.
“How do you want it done?” Y/N asked as she sat Kennedy on the counter. “Like the blonde Black Widow.” “Yelena?” Kennedy nodded, “Yeah, her!” “Okay, so you want the braids?” She nodded. “Alright, do you want to brush it or do you want me to brush it?” “You, please.” Y/N smiled and picked up the brush and did her daughter’s hair.
*******
After doing her daughter’s hair she went downstairs, daughter on her hip.
“Daddy, Gray! Look, my hair is like blonde Black Widow!” Grayson smiled, “It looks great sister. Do you want to watch Black Widow with me?” Kennedy nodded adamantly and wiggled out of her mom’s hold. 
“Your hair looks amazing, Princess. Mama did a good job didn’t she?” Kennedy nodded as she gently cuddled into her brother’s uninjured side. “Yeah, thank you Mama!” “You’re welcome, sweetie. Dad and I will be in the kitchen if you need us okay?” Both kids nodded as the opening to Black Widow played.
“Wait,” Grayson called, reaching to his side. “Could you put this back in the freezer?” Y/N nods and takes the ice-pack, “Course, when will you need it again?” “Probably right before I go to bed. If it hurts at all I’ll let you know.” She nods and she and Jake go to the kitchen to begin prep.

OKAY BUT IT'S LONG
(also spoiler-free for the Downhill fic)
Let's goooo
Childhood
- Jack carries a Siren "gene", so he's not a siren but Angel got it from to him (my older post about it).
- Tantalus was under oppressive rule so he grew up with questionable beliefs, explained below.
- moved to Pandora around 8y.o. with grandma (she worked in the Dahl mines).
- as a kid dreamed of working in the mining business, like his dad.
- has one (1) memory of dad holding him and rocking to sleep (unless it's a fabrication of his mind).
- has pictures and videos of the parents playing with toddler Jack, they look normal and happy. Jack keeps them in a secret place and *very* rarely replays them because VHS/photos tend to wear out.
- Vaughn is his only trusted therapist so they figured he has exactly 9 good childhood memories. He is scared to replay them in his head too and "wear them out" by forgetting.
- he was 6 y.o. when grandma demanded to have shared house responsibilities and the punishments started to get harsher.
- dropped out after middle school bc fuck this boring shit (and bullying).
- started to run away regularly from grandma's house bc of abuse at the age of 10.
- lived with a street gang with other Pandora kids like him.
- was the youngest in the gang so they protected baby-John so it was safer then at home.
- he made toys and other stuff from scraps. He discovered programming.
- by the time he turned 17, the times on Pandora changed and their gang didn't have many new young incomers, so he didn't get a chance to be a big brother.
- there he also met his first love (gay) they didn't kiss or anything so he didn't realize what it was until he was like 35 💀 talk about denial.
- their con/stealing gang shifted to serious shit with a real interplanetary mafia and a drug lord rivelry.
- he had to get out of the gang because he was one of the oldest and his life was in danger as he would be held responsible.
- He comes up with a new plan and starts to con solo. He targets the recent rich families immigrating to expand/develop stuff on Pandora.
- He pretends to be one of them rich kids and then steals something small but it's enough to survive.
- Here he gets the Handsome Jack nickname and gets famous in those circles (for stuff he lied about ofc but everyone was impressed).
- that how she met his future wife, he was stealing from Jacobs' mansion and some gal of his age found it hilarious (it was her house btw).
- she seemed different from all those delusional idiots, so she helped Jack to steal bigger and with less consequences for the sake of drama.
- Jack went through hell to gain a right to marry a Jacobs bc she had an arranged marriage waiting for her.
- married her around 20 y.o. and got rid of his gang problems.
- Angel was born a year later. Among other reasons it was a way to gain independence from his wife's family bc they treated her like shit personally and financially (mostly for sexist reasons).
- went to a culinary school for "prestige" and "education" but dropped out a year later.
- he made his buddy-chef with QuiRKy culinary interests to take his private restaurant on Helios later. He doesn't like his food personally but it's prestigious and educational for the Hyperion management.
- his wife was an influential businesswoman and a big figure in Pandora's development under the second Atlas rule (not affiliated with Atlas).
- for the next 8 years he managed to get into Hyperion and after a big return he got a solid career to build.
- Mortimer punched Jack at the wife's funeral, it was the most brave thing Jack ever seen him to do.
- lived with Angel on Pandora, had to sell their house.
- got a permanent intrusion/kidnapping paranoia.
- married his next girlfriend so the teen daughter has a mother figure among other love reasons.
- Angel did a nasty thing where she framed both of them (hated that dad remarried so soon?).
- they divorced about a year later.
- after dating and breaking up with Moxxi had a massive sexuality crisis (at the age 35, as promised).
- figured he's queer, and went to conversion therapy, because he grew up in antiqueer times on Tantalus and it felt reasonable to him.
- the CT base was mostly filled with teens and young adults who was forced to be there and the "doctors" there couldn't explain him their sconific or even spiritual methods.
- he left a week later and A: rolled out an official ban for CT on Hyperion lands on Pandora.
- B: called his trusty escort company and booked ALL men for months ahead. That's how he figured out he's a switch (*bi anthem starts playing*).
- was on coke most of his life but it didn't cause any problems or so he beliefs.
- after suddenly getting rich (now dating Nisha) spiraled down in codependency with her on opioids. He almost died.
- Angel lived on Helios all this time and knew she was growing up to be the next Hyperion president.
- she met Gaige online™
- at 21 y.o. moved to Bunker and started to work with Jack on the Vaults Key plan.
- At the same time Jack gifted her Buttstalion so she's not so lonely in the chambers.
- Nisha is an abuser in all senses in my books, but no hate to the canon Nisha.
- this relationship made him hesitant to go with BDSM dynamics (he belived it was a dynamic alright 💀).
- the addiction and Nisha destroyed his already strained connection with Angel -- she could spy using Siren powers and know exactly what's happening. Which was: neglecting her and destroying himself (he has issues okay).
- Angel tried to reason and gain independence, refusing to work on the Vault Key research anymore.
- Jack didn't listen bc all he cared about was heroin atm.
- sent Nisha away to rule Lynchwood and got into rehab to stay alive.
- he was too slow to repair relationships with Angel and she already got Crimson Raiders for friends planning to only hurt (for now) Jack.
- when B2 shit rolled down she was already too deep in misery + Eridium altered her physically and mentally in a way she didn't like.
- Nisha dies in Lynchwwod so it's also not good even though it's a relief.
- after Angel's passing, Jack went hard on old addictions.
- in his 48282th rehub he managed went sober for a record amount of time (14 months?), restated smoking tho.
- A couple of years passed and he decided to "OBJECTIVELY" off himself.
- Vaughn managed to help him with making a list of a desired partner's traits (not the best strategy but it helped to postpone the decision).
- massive trust issues and the list left only one option for Jack -- Timothy.
Tim and Jackothy AU.
- in 20 years they build some trust, professional and even platonic.
- Jack was too deep in his own head about the problems that prevent him to be normal but unconsciously gave signs of unusual attention to Tim.
- Tim straight up asked him out and everyone (Jack) panicked.
- eventually, he agreed tho haha
- they didn't date-date at first but for sure became buddies and it was enough to get Jack's mind off grim stuff in his life.
- Tim had an education in business from Hyperion uni and then got his acting MA in a small school.
- He couldn't find a job for either until he mass-applied to Hyperion and got into the double program.
- back then Jack wasn't very nice to anyone, but he had some weird obsession to subtly degrade Tim in particular.
- twenty years later he already was his only body double who not only stayed loyal but did a great job in security.
- they def had a history of hooking up but it was all played down as a mistake/situationship... Not like Tim had a choice to just stop seeing his boss every day.
- over the years of service, Tim got promoted and started working with Jack closely.
- he's from a privileged middle-class family that fell apart when he was 14 (divorce and alcoholism).
- got his red hair from the mom.
- Mother also was a retro pop star with 1-2 popular hits that are still known.
- after Tim "died" she was left alone, so she remarried and now Tim has a half-sister who is also into acting.
- Tim tends to cure stress by drinking but nothing too bad (yet).
- he had a little sister who passed away early, and this triggered a chain of events where his grandma (dad's mom) died, and then his mom cheated on dad, hence the divorce. Tim used to see his father until he moved away to another planet (and then Tim got into Hyperion at the age of 25).
- mother coped with alcohol so Tim was left to himself and tried to study well and get a good education to help his family.
- EXCEPT capitalism lied and he got stuck with a loan of $150 000 yipieee!
Misc.
- had an inside joke calling Angel an angle (sharp or dull)
- has a chronic skin condition where his scars are not healing fully so he can't have most surgeries, including the cosmetic ones.
- hates taking off his shirt. The forearms and neck are pretty much the only places where he doesn't have visible scars.
- has 13 big scars in total + one from that bullet he got shot in TPS.
- all scars tend to inflame and bring pain (medical reasons undefined, I say it's somatic).
- has a scar on the inner thigh, looks like smb wanted to decock him. Hint: she had a buzzaxe.
Irl misc for my writing
- Jack was born in 1966 which makes him an early Gen X, I'm sorry for my boomer jokes.
- Tim is 9 years younger, same gen, different flavor.
- Moxxi is a boomer I'm telling ya. She's slightly older then Jack.
There's probably more but that's all I could remeber for now 👀

The drive to Columbus had been long, and definitely not what Kitty had been looking forward to at the end of a long school day, but it was hard to argue against one dinner with the people who pay your rent, and she hadn't seen them since long before the start of the academic year, so a dinner was definitely warranted. It didn't help that it had been made extremely clear to her on the phone that it was a business dinner that she was expected to play the part of a doting daughter for. Not that she'd particularly prefer an intimate family meal with her parents, but she would always resent being one of the symbolic figureheads of her dad's company, especially since her heart had never really been in it.
She'd arrived back with enough time to allow her mother to fuss over her, redoing Kitty's hair and pulling a face at Kitty's outfit that would make you think that it was bloodstained, leaving her dressed in an old Marc Jacobs dress with a higher neckline than Kitty would normally pick for herself and an updo that she thought made her look like the president's wife. Her father wasn't home, of course, her mother assuring her that he would arrive in time, as if it mattered to Kitty in the slightest. She didn't know who the dinner was with, but it wasn't her first rodeo; it would be some guy with an equally sleazy business, a wife whose face was 60% silicone, and some sullen kid who wanted to be there about as much as Kitty did. And their mothers would gush over their children while the dads gave sweeping declarations disguised as morality lessons, and the kids would be sent out in time for business talk, and called back in for dessert and a group photo. It was routine and mind-numbing.
Kitty and her mother were stood in the foyer of their audacious house, in their embarrassingly matching blue outfits, when Kitty's dad swept in, already ready for dinner, muttering that their guests would be here any moment. He gave her the obligatory kiss on the forehead, which Kitty forced a smile for, leaving only enough time to quickly change jackets before the doorbell rang. Kitty sighed, preparing herself for another exhausting evening as she watched the family maid rush to open the door, folding her hands in front of herself. The door opened and a man clearly dressed for a business dinner walked in, followed by his wife, wearing an outfit alarmingly similar to her and her mother's. She stepped forward, slightly behind her mother, ready to greet the guests, her eyes uninterestedly running over the two of them, before they landed on a third person who had just entered the room, and her blood ran cold.
There, stood in the foyer of the home she had lived in all her life, was Hunter Clarington.

Jack the Ripper DLC: a rant
Alright well, I always said I was going to write a rant about the Jack the Ripper DLC and how nonsensical it is. Since my boyfriend is playing it for the first time and I’m watching him play it... yeah well here’s my rant: 
Tumblr media
I don’t even know how to begin this, there’s an endless amount of plot holes and I’ll probably forget a few things. 
Let’s just start with the beginning of the game, you play as Jack and literally murder a cop in plain view of the public. In fact Jack kills a lot of people in this game who aren’t just the canonical five. It’s absurd. Obviously I know it’s for a video game but it just seems too over the top, I feel like there would be a bigger outroar from the public and more newspaper articles. But anyway this is the smallest gripe for me.
I absolutely hate how this DLC has Jacob being too soft about Jack to kill him. You’re kidding me, right? Yes, I know Jacob has a soft spot for the disenfranchised, but this is his empire he has built in London all at risk. His position as a Master Assassin, and no doubt a Head Assassin at the London Headquarters, all at risk. His FAMILY at risk. As much as he might view Jack as a son, he would love his own son and wife (and perhaps other kids if he has others) far more than he would care for Jack. God, they don’t even mention his family (or Evie’s!!!! She’s even still referred to as Miss Frye???)! We know for a fact he has a son (at the very least) during this DLC as Lydia is born five years after. Since Jaocb becomes a grandfather at 46 he would’ve had a wife by the time he went to India with Evie, Henry and Jack - yet she’s not in the photo. (Let’s be real though: Ubisoft is crap at keeping up with timelines.) And, no, I do not believe it to be in his character to be unmarried or a man who sleeps around (it’s not in his character: he is very devotional, and it’s also pretty biphobic to characterise him as someone who just sleeps around). I would assume Jacob sent his family away from London, but no we don’t even get a mention of them, or Henry. AND even worse: the entire London Brotherhood just dips?????????????????? This makes me assume Jacob is the Head Assassin because why else would the disappear? Even so, since when were Assassins such cowards?? It’s literally one man. 
Jack having influence over London, that’s why the Assassins left. This makes no damn sense. It is insane to me the power that Jack has over people in this game. Even so, why would a strong Brotherhood just leave because of one guy and some gang members? These London Assassins are stupid! So, Jack kills the canonical five, which he and both we know aren’t actually prostitutes, they’re Assassins. And yet Jack and his lackeys have a vendetta against prostitutes? He’s working with Lady Owers? Why? Why the hell would she work with him (like yeah I know she does it because she doesn’t want him to kill her: but why is he even after her??? She’s not a bloody Assassin!), he’s supposed to be completely and utterly anonymous. Not just anonymous in the form of an alias, literally no one is supposed to know who this man is. How did he even approach her to work with him anyway? Why is he going after prostitutes when he only wants to kill and get revenge on Assassins? Jack the Ripper was a misogynist who targeted prostitutes because he hated women. He mutilated them because he hated women. This DLC Jack is just after a vendetta against Jacob and the Brotherhood, so while I understand why the Assassins used prostitution as a disguise, it makes no sense that Jack continues to go after regular prostitutes. The writers made it clear he wants revenge, only does Evie at one point hint at him perhaps being a misogynist (”Do you hurt women to prove you’re a man, Jack?”) - this just seems like a lazy throwaway line to try tie in with the fact the real Jack was a misogynist, but again, this is not why he [this DLC Jack] killed the canonical five. So, it makes so sense. Also, I’ve said this before but, Jacob has not had a thing with Nellie like some of you in this fandom believe. 
Influence over the Rooks in Whitechapel, this I guess could be more believable. I don’t know about y’all but by the time I finished the main game I was rich as hell from all the races and boat raids etc. And as a Master Assassin in London I imagine Jacob (and Evie) would’ve done quite well with themselves and would be able to afford to live in the richer areas of London (I’m thinking the Strand, personally). So, perhaps the Rooks from poorer areas like Whitechapel are feeling left behind, and perhaps could be swayed to go against Jacob. But then you get to the hulled out war ships. It’s littered in Rooks. There’s no way in hell Jack has all these Rooks and all the ones in Whitechapel/London City following him. Jack won’t even be paying them! You’re telling me not ONE of the Rooks on the hulled out ships thought, hey this is kind of messed up? No one out of the hundreds of Rooks said anything, ever? Also what even IS this hulled out war ship place about? This makes the LEAST amount of sense. So Jack, for sadistic reasons, is taking a lot of people prisoner, paying a hangman and other lackeys, to ferry out his prisoners (even the game doesn’t know why he chooses his prisoners asides from him being sick in the head), watch over them in the hulls, organise their murder and then dispose of the bodies? This is dozens upon dozens of people missing. Yet there’s no outcry in the newspapers. Nothing. Also, Evie quite literally lets some of the prisoners free, assuming they got out by boat before Jack got there, they would be telling everyone they were held prisoner by Jack (the game really doesn’t make it clear if they got out or not). Not only that but Evie just took a boat out there, does that mean anyone could just accidentally stumble across these ships? I assume if they did they’d die too: their families would report them missing. But the dumbest thing of all, Evie phones in to the London Police to let them know what is happening, so the police get sent to investigate. Jack then comes back and kills them all. So these policemen, dozens of them, are not going to return and the London Police will know about it. They will go to these ships again and see a massacre of prisoners and policemen, it’ll be big news. Nah, nothing about it is even brought up again. It’s the dumbest thing about this stupid DLC.
Also, Jack goes back to the Lambeth Asylum to get revenge and kill the nurse who abused him as a child, Evie literally says “Jack’s trail of death continues”. Again... how is this not news, how is this not one of the canonical murders? Oh, because it makes no sense. He kills so many non-Assassins, so many people beyond the canonical five, that it makes no sense there’s such an outcry about five women being murdered. It’s like the rest don’t matter. The thing is it’s hard to make a game about Jack the Ripper the way Ubisoft is trying to, there’s too much murder at every corner, but it’s expected in an AC game; it would be boring if you didn’t have anyone to fight. I would’ve preferred Jack to be some elusive target for the Assassins: something the Brotherhood hasn’t dealt with: normal people. Not an Assassin, nor a Templar. Even still, a Templar would’ve made more damn sense than Assassin. However, I feel like even I could write a better DLC with Jack being an Assassin that wasn’t as nonsensical as this. My boyfriend, who doesn’t like AC as much as me, even said this DLC made no sense plot-wise.  
Side note: I would love to see how livid Evie and Jacob are at the pathetic London Assassins that come crawling back from their hiding holes. They left their stronghold, one of the most powerful cities in Europe, they left the citizens behind. Ugh. Obviously not all of them leave as Mary Jane Kelley is murdered on the Fryes’ birthday, but how could the majority of them leave their brothers and sisters behind to be murdered or to fend for themselves? Also, Jack’s motive being that his mother died... the dying mother trope is so overdone: think of BvS or Civil War. Yawn. Oh and Frederick put his head on the line by not revealing who Jack was - like think about it: he was hounded and deemed a failure by everyone. It’s a huge and unrealistic ask of Evie, in reality he would’ve exposed Jack but hey, we love Freddy. Freddy is the best associate confirmed. 
Oh and there’s some people in this fandom who believe Jacob lived in Whitechapel?? (Again he’s probably rich, so, LOL!) He obviously wants to be right in the middle of it: to try catch Jack. This is clearly temporary lodgings, and also a means to stay away form his family to keep them safe if Jacob hadn’t already sent them away by that point. I’ve even seen some talk about the photos on the wall there, like the one of a bride, those photos are copy and pasted all over this game, they mean nothing. Evie literally has them in her train cart in the main game.
Right now that’s all I can think about: I’m sure I left other points out. But please feel free to send me an ask if you want to keep talking, I love talking anything and everything about Syndicate. 
If you’ve read this far, thank you :) and sorry if there’s typos

Explaining the Rusty Lake
Chapter 1.0 - Eilanders
Tumblr media
There was an small piece of land called Paradise Island, located on the Rusty Lake, out of the civilization's harm.
A family of Eilanders lived here. (Eilanders, when translated from Dutch, means Islanders)
Tumblr media
On the photo you can see, from right to left: Nicholas, the head of this family, Caroline, his wife, then their 3 kids named Jakob, Elizabeth and David, then Nicholas's mother Margaret and his brother Gerard.
Tumblr media
This family was a group of practicing pagans, and of course they knew nothing about the Cycle of Rebirth.
And yet, Nicholas was driven by the want to ascend his mere human form.
Tumblr media
He took his first-born child, Jakob, and decided to sacrifice him to the gods.
Tumblr media
For many years, he raised the boy, teaching him the ways of life and rules of the ritual he was going to be apart of.
But Caroline, the boy's mother, did not want her son to die. She spent all the time she had to find another way.
Tumblr media
Under ground, she wrote the ingredients needed for another ritual.
Sadly, she didn't have it all, and she didn't make it in time. The sacrifice of Jakob was going to happen really soon.
Tumblr media
She had no other choice but to send him out on a boat, away from the Paradise Island and to the big city.
Others looked at one another, shrugged their shoulders and decided to sacrifice Caroline instead of Jacob.
Tumblr media
Because, well, sacrifice is still a sacrifice, right?
To no-one's surprise, instead of becoming enlighted, they've got nothing.
And all that was left for them is to wait for the first-born child to come back.
_____________________________________________
I'm not sure if Rusty Lake has several religions be canon. Still, it doesn't mean that Buddhism is universal to all parts of the RL world, it's quite the opposite, and we need to keep that in mind at all times.

From Lydia Pearson's Simstagram
Last night was an amazing night! At about 10:40 pm I went into labor with baby #3! It was in the dead of night while everyone was asleep. I had to tiptoe out of my bedroom as to not wake Andrew Jacob from his sleep. In the kid's room I said a little prayer to The Watcher to watch over me and my blessing as I brought it into the world! At about 11:20 pm our 3rd blessing was born!
Tumblr media
Introducing Ariel Rose Pearson! We've been blessed with another helpmeet! I'm excited to have another girl in the house, Abby will be so happy to have a little sister to play with! I hope Ariel grows up to become a wonderful wife, mother, and a devout follower of The Watcher!
Tumblr media
Here's a photo of Andrew Jacob holding baby Ariel for the first time. He's absolutely enamored with her and can't take his eyes off of her. The kids are also in love with their sister; Liam is being a good big brother who is very protective of his little sister! And Abby is begging me to let her help take care of the baby. Isn't that sweet she's such a good big sister. I'm going to start letting her look after the baby while mama is busy with other tasks! It will be a great practice for being a mother in the future! Other than the issue of space the family is doing well! But I know The Watcher will provide the family with more room to grow our quiver!

I think each of us has profoundly affected someone without realizing it 🔮. At 18, I babysat 5 kids weeknights (.60¢/hr) 🧸; was a weekend salesgirl at Jay Jacobs & served on their fashion board 👗 ( $1.75/hr;) & after-school working for the US Coast Guard 🗃️. ($1.50 /hr thru the Neighborhood Youth Corps, an anti-poverty program. I qualified because my dad had left our family). 💸. George Bukota was a journalist 📰 in the USCG Public Information Office ⚓. He showed me how to crop photos, set “type” on a typewriter, & let me design my first brochure for the US Coast Guard Icebreaker, Northwind 🌬️. It was an eye-opening experience. As a high school student, I loved art & sold pen & ink drawings ✒️ in the Blue Banjo Gallery in Pioneer Square 🖼️. Nelleke Langhout, the owner, let me sell free from the commission. It was so cool to make money that way & it made me dream of becoming an artist 🎨. One day George took me aside & said I might earn a more stable livelihood as a graphic artist 💵. After the buzz from the Northwind brochure, it got me thinking & I decided to become a graphic designer 👩‍🎨. He never knew how his words affected me. It was the perfect career for me 😊. A few years ago, I tried to find him. He isn’t on FB, so I sent a message to someone I thought might be his wife but didn’t hear back... 📵 until this week! When we spoke 📱, I recognized his kind voice that helped save me from artistic delusions to find my creative path in graphic design 🌌. I’ve retold this story throughout my life 💬. It points to how we have no idea how our words can affect others 🗣️. My life could have turned out differently 🗺️. Would I have pursued my dream of living in NY as an artist 🖌️? Would I have married my HS sweetheart 👩‍❤️‍👨? Graphic design was the perfect choice for me & I finally thanked George for what he did for me 🙏. Has someone been pivotal in your life? Did you ever tell them? Happy holidays ❤️❄️ . . PHOTOS: @terrinakamura #1972 #firstdog #snowdayfun #snowday❄ #freezingcold #iceicebaby❄ #snowbunny huddled in our backyard; goofy #penandinkart #followyourbliss BOOKNOTES: Thank you @jokeandbiagio @EricKoester @warrenlnaida John Lund . . https://www.instagram.com/p/CmiuNtlu17_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s Astounding, Time Is Fleeting
Tumblr media
We dropped my middle son Jackson off at the University of Arkansas this past month—by “we,” I mean my wife and youngest son, Jacob.  
It’s an odd thing to drop your kid off at college.  Most likely, you spend nearly an entire day setting up their dorm room with everything you brought, then invariably heading off to Target to purchase all the things you didn’t bring.
And then you get all the posters and whatnot hung, the sheets on the bed, the desk arranged just so, and you take photos of everyone standing in front of the newly decorated space, and eventually, you say goodbye and drive off.
That’s the point when either right then or the next day, they rearrange the damn thing all over again because that’s kind of what they need to do. This is precisely what happened.
Even though my wife had sworn she wouldn’t cry when we left him, she did. I kind of laughed at her and told her a hundred times that he would be all right, she would be all right, and everything would be all right.
Meanwhile, I was falling apart, not wanting anyone to know it.
I suppose I was too busy making sure that everyone was good, and when they weren’t good, I was trying to comfort them in whatever small way that I could—be it laughing, hugging, you know, the kinds of things you do.  
I get uncomfortable in those moments; sue me.
But driving home the next day, I got to thinking about my middle boy and his life with us, and it all hit me that he was gone and living his life.    
He wasn’t supposed to be born, you know.  They told us in the dead of winter at a hospital in Chicago.  We went in a week later expecting him to be gone, but his heart was strong, and he defied all the odds, much to the shock of the doctors.
Jackson has always marched to the beat of his drum, which is ironic considering how he now marches to the rhythm of the Arkansas Razorbacks Marching Band (Woo pig! Sooie!). But he always has done things his particular way.
As maddening as this has been as a parent at times, I have always admired him for it.  I also know that it will serve him well to stand out in life for all the best reasons.  
I know that I haven’t been a perfect parent—far from it.  But in hindsight, I know I did the best I could and considering what an extraordinary person Jackson has turned out to be, that’s enough for me.
We mark the turning points in our lives in odd ways, we humans.  And sometimes, we’re surprised at how moving through the various stages of our lives affects us.  
I know that I now feel gratitude, hope, and no small amount of joy, but I also feel sad and far too aware of how fleeting time is and how short our time with the ones we love happens to be.
Which makes me all the more determined to live every single day to the fullest, which I am convinced God desires for us to do.  And I’m also determined to live more fully into myself, exactly as I  am and am meant to be—following my son’s example as he does the same.  
We are meant for more, you and I. We are meant to live abundant lives, becoming our best and truest selves with every step on our journey of stumbling after Jesus.
May we live more fully into wholeness and happiness as we learn to let go of pretending we have it all together and simply feel our joys and sorrows with the same loving embrace.
And may we do so mindful of the fleeting nature of time--perhaps our most precious commodity.  
May this be so for you today and every day from this day.  And may the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you now and always. Amen.

Chapter 3
Sam watched as Pete walked back to his car and drove away. She had tried being as honest and gentle as she possibly could but she knew she had hurt him terribly. He really was a good guy, they had many things in common and yet they were worlds apart, often literally.
She just sat and looked at the house Pete had picked out for them, it was a beautiful house. Exactly as she had described her perfect home or at least the house she thought she had wanted. Seeing it in person was just too much for her. It made her realize that it wasn’t everything she wanted. That what she really wanted was a sometimes grumpy General who still had the heart of a child despite being through more pain and heartbreak than any one person should.
Sure, she tried to put on a brave face for her father. She’d tried convincing him she was happy and had everything she ever wanted and more. However she knew even then that he could see through her lie. He almost always could.
As she made her way home the gravity of the last few days was finally hitting her. It wasn’t just her father’s death. She was still worried about Daniel, she had broken Pete’s heart, and now… now she had Jack.
She had tried to ignore her feelings for him for so long and now they were talking about actually beginning a relationship. She knew that she loved him, she had since… Antarctica? Maybe even before that? She wasn’t even sure. He was a brave, honest, honorable man, sexy as hell, great sense of humor and all she could think about was how they could simply be together without ruining their lives.
All she wanted to do now was get a shower, pull on some sweats and curl up on the couch. Preferably with a tub of Ben and Jerry’s. She half regretted letting Jack take the photo albums with him. It would have been nice to have a look through them on her own, It had been ages since she had gone through them.
The next day they would be holding calling hours for Jacob. They would be having calling hours most of the day tomorrow. The funeral service would be the following day at a local cemetery where Jacob’s cremains would be buried along with her mother’s. They would once again be together.
As much as Sam dreaded the thought of the funeral, it was the calling hours that she really dreaded. She hated the idea of standing around mingling and talking to her father’s old friends and family while her father’s lifeless body lay in a casket less than five feet away. It was not exactly something she was looking forward to. However her brother Mark would be there. His wife hadn’t been able to get off of work and would be staying at home with the kids. Sam rather thought that her niece and nephew had a right to be there to say goodbye to their grandfather. Although she couldn’t argue that they could sometimes be a handful and could understand why they didn’t want to bring them. For Sam they would’ve been a welcome distraction, she would have loved to have taken them to the park.
At the funeral home the mood was subdued. She had told jack how much she hated funeral homes. Therefore he insisted on taking the day off and staying with her. “Carter, why don’t you go in and spend some time with your brother and let me know when you want me to come in, I’ll wait out here until you’re ready,” he said as he met up with her on the back porch of the funeral home. She smoothed her skirt a bit and nodded “Here goes nothing”. Sam was guided through to where her brother was waiting with a small handful of other relatives she hadn’t seen in years.
“Sammie, you’re here!” Her brother said as he pulled her into a hug “How are you holding up? You look amazing.”
“Thanks Mark, I’m doing ok. It was pretty rough that first day or so but I’m doing better now. How are you doing?”
“I don’t think it’s really hit me, he just came to visit last week. He told me the cancer was back and had spread but he seemed fine except for some headaches. I just thought we had more time. Maybe if I had insisted on getting him to a doctor, maybe they could have done something for him.”
This was the part of her job she hated, “Mark, no. You can’t think like that. Dad was very sick. There wasn’t anything anyone could do. Believe me, he was in one of the best hospitals in the county. He knew it was his time and he died with honor and dignity.”
“I’m glad you were with him, Sam” he said, hugging her again.
“Mark, Mark, is this little Samantha?”
Mark released Sam with a sigh and quickly plastered a smile on his face “Yes, it is Aunt Violet.”
Sam suppressed a groan and adopted her own artificial smile. Of course Aunt Violet would be here, she was really Sam and Mark’s great-Aunt, she was about 95 and as stubborn, opinionated and cantankerous as anyone Sam had ever met. She was also one of the most physically fit old ladies she had ever seen. Her dad used to joke that she would never die because death was too afraid of her.
“Hi Aunt Violet it’s great to see you” Sam said through a smile.
“Now I thought I heard something about you finally getting married, is that right? You know it’s really about time you settled down and left all this military nonsense behind you. You’ve always been such a pretty girl, it’s a shame you’re wasting all your time and your good looks stuck in some astronomy tower somewhere running your silly experiments. Where is your young man anyway?”
Sam was stunned at how this woman could insult practically everything she stood for, in a matter of seconds. Mark, who knew his sister well, was trying not to laugh “Yeah Sam, where is Pete anyway? You didn’t leave him out in the car did you?”
“No, actually, Pete won’t be coming. We broke up, the wedding is off.”
“What? Sam?” Mark looked stunned and attempted to take Sam by the arm to lead her away from Aunt Violet.
The old woman was too quick “Oh dear, I was afraid of that. You know it can be so difficult for a man to love a woman who spends so much time in a man's world. Perhaps you should think about getting out before you never find a decent man who will have you.”
“I broke it off actually. I think you’d be surprised at how much the world is changing, Aunt Violet.” Sam answered dryly. “I’m sorry Mark, I know Pete is a friend of yours but it just wouldn’t have worked out between us.”
“But Sam, I thought you guys really liked each other.”
“It wasn’t enough Mark, I’m sorry,” she turned on her heel suddenly making her way into the other room where her father had been laid out. The room was completely empty of people. It was peaceful and creepy at the same time. On top of that it was disturbing to see him laid out like that. He looked like he was sleeping but he wouldn’t have ever slept in his dress uniform.
She walked up to the casket suddenly remembering her mother’s funeral. Another shot of pain ran through her and she felt tears stinging her eyes. “Well Daddy. I broke it off with Pete, I could tell you didn’t really like him. Although that’s not why I did it. I… I don’t know how but I think you somehow knew how I feel about Jack. I don't know how, or if it’s going to work out with him or not Daddy but I do know that I love him and we’re ready to take that chance. I’m done letting rules get in the way. I… I just wanted you to know that I heard you. Goodbye Daddy, I love you” she said as a few tears fell.
Sam took a deep breath as she walked away from her father to a box of tissues nearby. Once she was sure she was presentable she made her way back outside making sure to avoid Aunt Violet just the thought of her was making her feel more angry than she should have.
Outside, Jack had struck up a conversation with one of her cousin’s on the back porch. “Carter?” Jack inquired the moment he saw her coming “You ok?”
“It’s nothing, Sir, I’ll be fine.”
“You kinda look like you’re getting ready to go into battle.”
“No, just my Great-Aunt Violet. The old bat.”
“Ooh boy” Jack said, sarcasm dripping from each syllable, “Is this the one you told me about when we were on that little field-trip with your dad. You know the one with the do-hickey with all the yellow wires?” Sam knew the mission he was talking about, of course. She also knew that he couldn’t just come out and say “the time we had to open a hyperspace window through the earth to stop a giant asteroid from hitting it,” in front of her cousin.
“I, yeah it is but how did you even remember that? That was years ago.”
Jack just shrugged, “Didn’t you say she was in her 90’s or something? How bad could she be now?”
“I think she gets worse with age, she’s 95 now.”
“Well it’s your family Carter, you want me to come in?” he asked as he excused himself from the cousin.
She huffed out a breath, “I could use the backup, wish I had a zatt with me.” She said low so only Jack could hear.
“Now, now, Carter, she is family” Jack grinned.
Back inside Sam found Mark. Thankfully Aunt Violet was nowhere to be found. “Mark, I'd like you to meet my CO, Brig. General Jack O’Neill.”
“Nice to meet you” Mark extended his hand to him “It’s really nice of you to come to support Sam like this.”
“Of course, she is like family. Carter and I worked with your father occasionally on different projects. I considered him a friend. Jacob was a good man, I’ll really miss working with him.”
“Oh I guess I didn’t realize that dad’s liaison position interacted with deep space telemetry that often.”
“Oh yeah, he was instrumental in a number of our projects, coordinating things and what not.”
“Dad always had a way of making people work things out. It’s probably why Sam and I are so close and didn’t kill each other when we were kids.”
“I absolutely agree, I myself owe an awful lot to your father. I am really going to miss him.”
“Thank you, General. Sam has mentioned you a couple of times over the years. It’s nice to meet someone that appreciates ‘The Simpsons’ as much as I do.”
Mark smiled, Jack couldn’t help but smile a little too, “The pleasure is all mine.”
Sam giggled softly “I thought you two might hit it off.”
“Funny, you told me about Aunt Violet but not about your brother’s mutual interests in ‘The Simpsons’, you’re dropping the ball Carter,” he teased.
“Sorry, Sir. I’ll have to remember to prioritize better.”
“Do that, Colonel,” Jack nodded.
“So Sam told you about Aunt Violet did she?” Mark grimmised as he cast a look around the room for the elderly women “She’s definitely a handful.”
“So I hear. Well I’m off to go pay my respects, and keep a lookout for a rogue nonagenarian.”
Sam raised his eyebrow.
“Nonagenarian, A little used word to describe a person between the ages of 90 and 99,” Jack answered.
“I know what it means, Sir. I’m just…”
“Surprised that I do? Oh Carter, Carter, Carter.” He said, shaking his head, “Go on, you lead the way.”
It wasn’t long before Sam and Mark had been overtaken by a steady stream of well wishers. Friends and a few colleagues of their father. Jacob was well liked by the SGC crowd. Siler and Walter both showed up. General Hammond came, as he promised he would.
“General Hammond, it’s good to see you, Sir. It’s been far too long.”
“Colonel Carter, I was so sorry to hear about Jacob. We had been talking just before it happened as I understand. I considered your father a very dear friend.”
“I know General, I think he felt the same way about you, Sir.”
“This must be Mark then.”
“Yes of course! Mark, this is General George Hammond. He is my former commander.”
“Pleasure to meet you Son, although I do wish it were under better circumstances. Sam has mentioned your little ones on several occasions, I have a couple of granddaughters that are around the same ages.”
“That’s really nice, Sir. Unfortunately I couldn’t see bringing the kids today. The trip alone would have been crazy and I didn’t know if they would really understand. They just saw him last week and he seemed fine, I didn’t want to believe him when he said he was dying,” he said, shaking his head.
“I think it took us all by surprise, Son”
“Yes, Sir.”
“It’s a shame he won’t be here for your wedding Colonel” he said turning back to Sam.
“Oh I guess you haven’t heard then General, Sam here called off the wedding” Mark interjected before Sam could get a word out.
“Oh, I’m sorry to hear that, Colonel,” Hammond said clearly taken aback, “I didn’t really know the man, he seemed nice enough when I had met him. However I know better than to question your judgment, I’m sure you made the right decision.”
“Thank you Sir”
“No offense, General but I’m not sure if I agree. I’ve known Shanahan for years, he’s a great guy.”
“My love life isn’t any of your business” Sam shot at Mark.
“It is when it’s a friend of mine and you haven’t even explained why.”
“I just realized that I wanted something else from my life, marrying him wouldn’t have been fair to Pete or me.”
“I’m sure you’re right, Colonel.”
“Thank you, Sir.”
“Sounds like someone if you ask me,” Mark spat.
“And what is that supposed to mean?” Sam asked, her temper now flaring.
“I don’t know, Sam, you work with a bunch of guys, maybe you got a thing for one of them.” Hammond noticed the mussels in Sam’s jaw tightened but said nothing, mainly because Mark wasn’t finished “That Jackson guy you’re always talking about would be my guess.”
“Daniel?” Sam almost laughed, “I talk about him because he’s like my little brother!” The fact that he was still missing stabbed at her, cutting her off. Even so, Hammond thought she sounded a little too relieved.
Mark had been closer to the truth than he realized. “Whatever, Sis, I just think you made a mistake letting Pete go.”
Hammond sought to change the subject, “Now, Colonel, I was certain I saw General O’Neill when I first came in. Any idea where he got to?”
“I, I’m not sure, Sir,” she said, as she searched the room. She suddenly saw him in the next room sitting next to none other than Aunt Violet. She was laughing. What was more surprising was that Jack was smiling. She suddenly felt like she was looking at something alien. “He’s with Aunt Violet. We should probably go rescue him, Sir.”
Sam cut her way through the crowd with Hammond behind her, “General O’Neill, look who’s here,” she said abruptly, interrupting his conversation with aunt Violet.
“Excuse me Ma’am”
“Oh it’s quite alright, Dear, she’s always been like that. It was a pleasure speaking with you young man, I hope you catch lots of fish.”
“Thank you Ma’am, that’s very kind,” he said, patting her hand.
Jack stood up to shake Hammond’s hand “It’s good to see you, Sir. I was hoping you’d be here.”
“Something you needed to talk about, Son?”
Jack shot Sam a look which she answered with a micro shake of her head. “What makes you say that?”
“Call it a gut feeling Son.”
“There is something actually Sir. You see, I’ve been seriously considering retirement.”
“Jack, I know you and Dr. Jackson were close but that’s no reason to retire. Especially not now.”
Jack locked eyes with Sam for a fraction of a second but it was long enough that Hammond caught it. “Why don’t we go get some fresh air, Colonel I’m sure you could use a break.”
The back porch was empty when they got there, Hammond settled himself down on a wicker chair. Sam and Jack followed suit but he noticed they chose to sit across from each other so that Sam was on his left and Jack on his right. “Would you like to tell me what’s really on your mind, Jack.”
“This has nothing to do with Daniel Sir. Let’s just say that there are certain things I’d like to do that can’t be done on active duty.”
“You two mind telling me what is going on here?”
“Nothing Sir,” Sam blurted.
Hammond eyed her, “What the Colonel means is ‘nothing’ yet, Sir. However, the Colonel and I would very much like there to be something going on, if you catch my meaning,” Jack corrected, feeling it was best to be honest.
“Subtle you are not. And just to be clear, is this the reason why I won’t be going to a wedding?”
Sam’s cheeks flushed slightly, “Partly, Sir.”
Hammond shook his head “Jack I just can’t let you do that. You’re the only one I trust at this time to take over Homeworld. How serious are you two about this?”
“I’ve considered requesting a transfer, possibly to the Pentagon so we can be together but I’ve also considered Nevada. Unless of course General O’Neill retired, and if he doesn’t… Sir, we’re not trying to buck regs. We just want to be together.” It sounded hopeless as she said it but she had faith in Jack.
Hammonds eyebrows went up “Jack” he said in a harsh tone “Am I to understand that-”
“Wohh, wohh, Sir. That sounds a bit more, ehh— advanced than the situation really is” he shot Sam a look “If I may use baseball terms Sir, let’s just say that we’ve entered the stadium and we’re sitting next to First, waiting for the game to start. That’s it Sir.”
“Waiting for the game to start ehh?”
“Yes, Sir” Sam agreed “I only meant that we had discussed the possibility, certainly not to imply there has been any improper fraternization.”
“So nothing has happened, especially before Jack got promoted to General is that right?”
“Absolutely not Sir. We’ve only been talking about this for the last few days. Carter, eh—”
“You came to him about this?”
“I had to, Sir. Pete bought a house” she said as though that should explain everything.
“I see” he paused “Who else knows about this?”
“No one, Sir.”
“Well you two do have impeccable timing. It so happens that I had reviewed the regs a few years ago when I suspected something might be going on between the two of you.”
“You what? When?”
“After that zatarc incident. But then I thought maybe I had misread the situation because I didn’t really notice anything after that to make me suspicious,” he shrugged, “I never saw any reason to bring it up.”
“But now?”
“Now Jack is a General, about to receive another promotion to take over Homeworld. You Lt. Colonel, are a high ranking field officer.”
“Reasons one and two we have never taken it any further than our professional relationship.”
“What about you, Sir?” Sam asked.
“I have been advised to retire for my health and I intend to follow orders by the end of next month. Before that time I might have an opportunity available for Colonel Carter to help further break the chain of command between the two of you. But in the meantime, as long as you are discreet and as professional as you always have been on duty, I don’t really see this relationship being a problem.” They both looked at him dumbfounded, “Allow me to explain. There are certain exceptions to every rule. In this case there is a legal exception for Generals specifically in regard to Field officers. I would have never known about it had I not been looking for any kind of loophole to help you two out. Not that this particular one would have helped back then anyway. Now I will certainly double check for you. But if memory serves correctly then it shouldn’t be an issue so long as you still observe all other fraternization rules when on duty. What you do off duty at this point really isn’t an issue.”
“You’re sure?”
“I’ll double check with the legal department and make sure I have my facts correct. If I’m right, the loophole we are looking for isn’t actually in the regs but rather in an amendment made later on, providing General officers with a little leeway in regard to fraternization with Field Officers. It seems even the Air Force has some level of understanding of how difficult it is to meet someone when your life is devoted to duty.”
Sam and Jack simply stared at Hammond for a moment, Sam was the first to speak “You’re kidding.”
“No Colonel, I’m not.”
“So the General and I…”
“That’s what you want isn’t it?”
“Absolutely, Sir.”
“Sir, as much as I appreciate this information and no offense to your considerably sharp memory. I think I would feel better if you did double check on all of this before Carter and I, huh, move forward.”
“As would I, Son.”
“We certainly appreciate it, General.”
“As long as I get invited to the wedding.”
Sam laughed at that, “I’m not sure if we’re quite there yet, Sir but we’ll definitely let you know.”
“In that case I’ll let the Joint Chiefs know I’ve already spoken with you about taking over for me Jack. If everything goes well, I should have the transfer orders on your desk within the next two weeks.” Hammond said with a smile, “I’m assuming that Colonel Carter is currently on bereavement leave?”
“Yes, Sir.”
“Good.”
“I figured I’d let Carter finish up a few projects with R&D at the SGC for a while until we get more intel on Anubis.”
“I’d say an official department transfer might be a good idea. It might even help with what I have in mind. In fact I bet you could use some leave time right, Colonel? Maybe go fishing.”
“That’s exactly what the General had suggested, Sir.”
“It’s settled then. You two have my blessing, I’ll double check on the legal stuff.”
Sam turned to Jack “What do you think?”
“What about the chain of command? Even if you went to Nevada you’d still technically be under my command, although not directly. What happens if you get transferred back? What happens if the Asgard specifically requires our help? Or…”
“All valid concerns, Jack. I’ll see what kind of strings I can pull.”
“Thank you Sir.” Sam said.
“Need I remind you two that, this baseball game of yours has been delayed, got it? I’m already in enough of an awkward situation simply knowing about this. But I’m glad you were honest with me, that will go far with what I might be able to do for you.”
“Got it, Sir. Slow and steady, that’s me.” Jack said.
“Again thank you, Sir.”
“Jack, I can get started on this tonight if you don’t mind me using your office.”
“General, you outrank me, sure you can use it! Just don’t be surprised by my redecorating.”
“Alright then, I believe I’ve got some work to do.”
“If you need anything I’m sure Walter can help, he is working the evening shift tonight.”
“Thank you Jack. I’ll see you both tomorrow.”
The three of them made their way back into the funeral home. Hammond went ahead of them walking towards the front exit. Sam turned to Jack “You seemed to really hit it off with aunt Violet, should I be worried?”
Jack smiled “Ehh you just have to know how to handle her, she’s not so bad.”
“Really? Because I’ve known her my entire life and I’ve never seen her like she was with you. She’s always just so- ornery.”
“That she is. At least until you disarm her, she responds well to sarcasm. Ya just gotta know how to talk to her. Kind of reminded me of my grandma really. I wonder if she bakes?”
Sam had to laugh, here was this woman who had driven her and her brother crazy for years and Jack just waltzes in and tames the old shrew.
Fortunately Sam hadn’t had to deal with Aunt Violet much the rest of the evening and the few times she did come over Jack had been by her side to deflect any of Aunt Violet’s usual nagging. In fact, Jack hadn’t left her side since their talk with General Hammond.

MASTERLIST
Frank’s POV
My head is pounding but I can’t let it get the best of me right now. I’m restrained to a chair in the middle of Amy’s father’s office, the bastard himself has been sitting on his desk observing me for the past five minutes, no words spoken, just staring at me.
“How’s my girl doing? I assume you checked in on her before coming here.”
“Your girl? Man, go fuck yourself.” He gestured for one of his two men to strike me and the buffest one of the pair struck me in the face. Darting my tongue across my lip I smirked at the metallic taste of blood.
Oh this is going to be fun.
“That’s the best you’ve got?” My snarky comment earned me another punch to the face, blood escaping my nose.
“How is she Frank?”
“You don’t have the right to know a damned fucking thing about her. If you actually gave a fuck about her, you wouldn’t have walked out when she needed you the most. What father abandons his newborn knowing that the mother wasn’t capable of raising her right?”
“The same kind that repeatedly chose deployment rather than staying home with his wife and two kids. Maybe if you had done that, your perfect little family would still be alive today.”
“Shut your goddamn mouth right now.”
Who the fuck does he think he is bringing up Mariah and the kids? The more he opens that mouth of his the more I want to choke the life out of him.
He unknowingly signed his death certificate.
“I’m surprised that this lovely lady is giving you a second chance to have it all, Y/N is her name right?” He turned his computer screen to show me a photo taken of Y/N and I opening gifts at the baby shower, no doubt he got that from Jacob.
“She’s very beautiful and feisty, I see why you’re so in love with her. By the way, congratulations, your second boy is due any day now.”
“Is there a point to all this bullshit talking?”
“All I’m asking for is my daughter to come home with me once she’s discharged from the hospital, I’d like a second chance at being her dad. You’ve got your second chance, don’t you think I should at least have that?”
“You don’t deserve jack shit, you left Amy eighteen years ago. That kid has been through hell to get where she is right now. She grew up without your sorry ass around and survived all these years on her own!” If he thinks that I’m going to allow him to so much as breathe the same air as her, he’s got another thing coming.
“Leave us.” He instructed his men and waited for the door to shut behind them before he quickly pushed off the desk to close the distance between us, landing a couple blows to my head.
“You can’t keep my daughter away from me.” His bloody fist hovered in the air as he huffed and puffed. Spitting the blood that pooled into my mouth onto him, I spoke.
“She’s not your daughter”
“What, she’s yours?”
“Damn right she is.” I continued to pull against my restraints, the ropes slowly becoming slack with each movement.
“I’ve been there for that girl for the past two years, I took care of her while we were both going through some shit. All those years you had to find your way back into her life but you chose not too and now that she has fucking stability in her life you want to take it away from her.”
“She wouldn’t have been in this position if that boy had followed my instructions.”
“Do you hear how fucking crazy you sound? I’m going to say no, you don’t. Regular people would introduce themselves and properly get to know the kid they abandoned, not pay someone to kidnap them.” The ropes came undone just in time for me to catch his fist and twist it before he could land another strike to my face. He whined in pain as my grip tightened, I stood up and bent his arm even further.
“Fuck!”
“Shhh, nobody heard me scream in pain when you were beating on me.” Using my other hand I gripped onto his hair and pulled him upright, increasing his pain.
“Look man, I’m sorry, alright! I just wanted to see my dau- Amy!”
“She doesn’t want to see you, walk.” He took a couple steps forward towards his desk as I directed him to retrieve my gun that sat on top of his folders. I reached for it and hissed in pain from the gash the bastard just sliced on my forearm.
Frank let him go and ducked in time as Harry swung his switchblade in his direction. The two men went at it, toe to toe, knocking over the lamp that was perched on the desk and a couple other items as well. Frank disarmed him, the blade clattering to the floor. Frank slammed Harry into the wall, beating his face in returning the blows he got and Harry screaming was all it took for his men to come inside the office, guns blazing.
Bullets were exchanged among the men but the gunfight didn’t last too long as Frank successfully took them out, their lifeless bodies sprawled out on the ground.
“Fuck!” Harry drove his blade into my shoulder from behind and I shot him in the foot, screaming he dropped to the floor. Blood is oozing from his wound, he looks like shit; his face is all messed up from my relentless punches.
“Please don’t kill me.” He scrambled backwards until his back hit the wall. Ignoring him I pointed my gun at him and pulled the trigger.
He had it coming, bringing up both my families the way he did, stalking, planning and executing his sick idea of ‘reuniting’ with Amy, he’s lucky I didn’t shoot him on site to begin with.
My phone buzzed in my pocket and I fished it out, Y/N texted me.
Our girl’s awake and responsive
With a final look at the bastard I left, I’ve got to get cleaned up before returning to the hospital.
I did this because I had to protect my family and I’d damn well do it again..
Y/N’s POV
“I feel like crap, my head hurts.”
“You’re going to feel that way for a while so make sure you get as much rest as possible.”
The doctor went on to announce that she’s cleared to be moved from this room to a much more private room out of the ICU. The swelling in her brain has gone away and she hasn’t had any complaints other than a headache which is minor. I stepped out into the hallway giving them all the space they needed to transfer her out of the room.
“Hey sweetheart.” Frank pulled the hood of his sweater further over his head to block prying eyes from seeing the cuts and bruises that now decorated his face. As best as I could I threw my arms around him, not missing his groan of discomfort.
“Take it easy with the squeezing, I took a knife to the shoulder.”
“You found him? What’d he want, why’d he do this?” He kissed my temple, avoiding my questions completely.
“Let’s follow them.” Frank gently guided me down the hall.
“Did you-” His jaw clenched knowing what I was about to ask.
“Yes.”
"I was starting to think you forgot about me, what happened?" Frank left my side, making his way over to her bedside.
"You're the one in a hospital bed but you're worried about me." He kissed her head and she held onto his hand, her eyes fluttering shut.
"Did you get him, Jacob. He was trying to-"
"I found him but he wasn't behind all this." Amy adjusted herself, sitting upright as she pressed him to further explain.
"Do you remember this man?" He held his phone up showing her the photo of the stranger and she nodded, drawing her eyebrows together in confusion.
"Gregory, yeah he came in everyday and would stay for a couple hours."
"Well kid, he lied. His name was Harry Bendix.”
“You’re telling me that her father-” Amy’s laugh cut me off, catching both Frank and myself off guard. Frank glanced at me and I shrugged.
“He’s not my father, never was.”
“Amy-”
“You’re my dad. It’s like you said, blood doesn't make us family.” She opened her arms for a hug which he gladly gave her. From where I’m standing I could see just how much impact Amy’s words made on him just by looking at his eyes; he sniffled a couple times holding in his emotions.
“You know I had to do what I did, right?”
“He never cared if I lived or died so why should I? Also, she’s been in pain for quite some time now and refuses to let the nurse take a look at her.” Rolling my eyes I sat down on the chair, ignoring the look Frank shot me.
“I’m fine, really.”
“You’re not.” in sync they both responded, ganging up against me.
“I've been stressed out with everything, I’ll be alright. I’m just glad that you’re okay. ”
Frank’s POV
It’s been two weeks since everything went down and everyday Amy’s been doing better, something Y/N and I have been extremely grateful for. Speaking of the kid, Amy popped her head in the room.
“What’s up kid, you alright?”
“She’s been bouncing on that ball for an hour now, it’s hurting my eyes.”
Y/N’s due to give birth any day now but the little guy has other plans. For the past two days she’s been bouncing on her exercise ball trying to induce labor. I rolled out of bed and started making my way to the living room and sure enough, Y/N was lightly bouncing on her ball completely lost in the movie that played on the TV.
“If you keep that up little man is going to come out with a headache.”
“Ha ha very funny Castle. You’re the last person I want to see right now.”
“What did I do?” leaning down I kissed the top of her head, groaning as she punched me in my nuts.
“This! You got me pregnant and now your spawn refuses to come out, I guess stubborn does run in the Castle family.” Ignoring the pain I gently massaged her shoulders, halting her movements as she relaxed into my touch.
“I could think of something that might help. Let’s go for a walk.”
“If I wanted to leave the house I would’ve been on my way to work right now.” She’s extra snappy today and she has all right to be, she’s at that point where she’d physically remove the kid herself if it was possible.
“We’re going for a walk.”
It took me all of ten minutes to get the both of us ready and out of the house, most of it was spent fighting her to get her shoes on. I’ve never had to fight Lisa or Frank Junior to get their shoes on but here I am, battling with my lady.
“Regular people would usually move in together and get a couple dogs before even thinking about starting a family.”
“I hate to break it to ya sweetheart, we’re anything but normal.”
“No shit, the first time we crossed paths you nearly blew my head off.” Our shoulders bumped with each step we took on the relatively empty sidewalk.
“If I was after you, you wouldn’t be here today.”
“That is true. The day Matt came into the office and said that we were going to be taking your case, I asked him if he was crazy. You definitely weren’t an easy client.”
“Really? I thought I was the best client you’ve ever had, after all I did buy you flowers in the midst of all my crap.” She laughed out loud, holding onto my hand tighter as we rounded the corner into the alley.
“That was an apology for wasting my time to keep you out of jail and that was after I slept with you the first time. Stop.” She stopped walking as she looked around the alley.
“What-”
“Shh, listen.” I was about to ask her what’s going on but the sound of puppies crying became louder as we inched closer to the cardboard box next to the dumpster. I quickly opened the top of the box and two grey and white pit bull pups that couldn’t have been more than three weeks old.
“Oh hello.” They clamoured to get out of the box to get to me and I scooped them up, Y/N immediately taking one from me, cuddling it close to her chest.
“What were you saying earlier about getting dogs?” The male dog in my arms licked away at my cheeks and chin while I looked over at my girl and the other pup.
“We’re taking them home, we can’t leave them here. You didn’t deserve that.” She giggled as the pup liked her face.
“Amy’s going to love this.”
