“Happy birthday, baby!” He looks you up and down, rubbing his tired eyes. You’re standing there in that pastel blue puffer coat that he bought you a month ago, shaking from the cold with raindrops stuck to your eyelashes. It’s pouring outside, and you’re holding your umbrella in one hand and a box in the other.

“y/n… love… it’s 12:07. In the morning.”

“I know! I wanted to beat Bokuto this year, he probably won’t get here until two!” “...until?” “You must be tired. Let’s go to bed!” You set the umbrella in the bag and put it in the little stand he has before taking off your coat. You’re wearing fuzzy flannel pajamas, the set Bokuto got the three of you last year. You’re still shivering when you put the box into the fridge and then pull him into the bedroom.

Normally you like to hold him, but since you’re freezing like this, he wraps you into his arms and you flop onto the bed together to huddle under the blankets. Your feet are like ice cubes, and he kisses your forehead and smiles into your hair as you fall asleep in his arms. 

He may have been woken up at midnight, but you being here already makes it the best birthday ever.

_

He’s barely dozed off when the door bursts open, and the telltale “HEY HEY HEY” rings out. He rolls his eyes and sits up to see his best friend, standing there in his soaked glory. You’re somehow still asleep, hands clinging to his shirt.

Bokuto is covered in rain, his silvery hair plastered to his clammy forehead. It’s so cold outside Keiji is surprised it’s not snowing.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRO-” “Bokuto-san, please keep it down. Y/N is still sleeping.” “My bad! HAHAHA-” “Loud.” “Sorry!” He whisper-yells, and Keiji rolls his eyes again. Why did he give this doofus a house key? “Anyways, if you’re this adamant about being here, you can crash on the couch like last year.” “Nah, I’m gonna go home. It’s cold as balls outside, and I want my blanket!” Just like that, he leaves. He spent a good 25 minutes walking over to Keiji’s house in the freezing cold rain at midnight, and he literally just yelled for thirty seconds and then left again.

What the fuck? He tries not to think about it, and goes back to letting you curl into him.

_

This time, he wakes up by himself. The curtain’s open, light filters through, and he sits up. You’re not there, but the smell of something delicious wafts through the apartment.

He rubs his eyes and checks the time, it’s only a bit past eight. He smiles when he walks into the kitchen to see you making something, obviously the source of the smell.

“Love, what’s this?” “Making waffles for my waffle!” He stares at you.

“That sounded much more romantic in my head.” His waffle is just the way he likes them; crispy but still soft and fluffy inside. He stares at it, a warm fuzzy feeling bubbling inside at the little message you’ve spelled out in syrup over the whipped cream; “HAPPY BIRTHDAY”. Jesus, he needs to marry you soon.

“Do you want coffee or tea?” “Coffee, please.” He takes a bite once you’ve sat down. It’s perfect, and as he eats he stares at you. You’re perfect too. 

“So, I’m sure you’ve already booked my day full. What are the plans?” You giggle, and the sound makes him feel even warmer.

“I remembered last month that you said that that new gallery was opening up at the museum. And Tsukishima-kun told me that there’s a big shark exhibit opening at the aquarium. So I figured-” “We go to the gallery, get lunch at that cafe we love, and see the sharks?” “You read my mind! Do you want to do that? If not, we can plan something else-” He takes one of your hands in his, and gently presses a kiss to your knuckle, right on your little silver band.

“It sounds absolutely perfect.” He starts to gather up the dishes, but you swat him away.

“You’re the birthday boy, go get ready! Oh, and I forgot to mention, Kuroo-san said that he and a few others are coming over around seven. So we should try to get back by five or so.” He pecks your cheek as you wash the dishes, and you giggle again.

“That’s fine. Do you know how long they’ll be over?” “Not sure, but it won’t be too late, trust me. I’ll have plenty of time to see my birthday boy in his birthday suit…” He blushes, and you turn back to washing the plates. 

“Go take a shower. I’ll join you in a bit.”

_

The gallery is incredible. You seem to agree, staring into each painting with focus and intent. The good thing about you both being artsy is that you can enjoy this kind of thing together.

He holds your hand gently as you lead him to the centerpiece. It’s nothing short of breathtaking. A huge, sprawling field of sunflowers in the middle of summer. The sky is the purest blue you can imagine, and puffy clouds float in the sea of azure. There’s a pair of hot air balloons floating among the clouds, one decorated in oranges and one in purples. In the distance a little farmhouse sits on the hill. The painting is oil, and it’s huge, taller than him. 

“It’s so beautiful, isn’t it, Keiji?” He says nothing, staring into the flower field. He imagines for a second that it’s real, that you and him are standing in the ocean of sunflowers, under the summer sky.

That farmhouse could be yours. He can see it, a quiet life there with you two. He’d spend the day writing, you’d spend the day playing the piano and singing with that little fairy voice of yours. 

You’d take a picnic basket down into the field, lay down a little blanket and watch the sunset on the hill. Just the two of you, safe and calm and warm as the sun fades away.

“Keiji?” He’s startled out of his fantasy to see you looking at him, a smile playing at your lips.

“Did you hear me?” “Sorry, what did you say?” “I just said that you’ve been staring at that painting for the past fifteen minutes. I’m starting to get jealous,” you tease.

He smiles at that notion. The painting may be beautiful, but it fades in comparison to you. But then again, so does everything else.

“Let’s get lunch, love. We’ll have to hurry if we want to catch those sharks.” -

This cafe may well be his favorite place on earth. Simply put, it’s where you met. You worked there part time, and he’d stopped by every day after class to get his work done. Once he’d first seen you though, he began to focus on you, rather than his homework.

It took him a month to build up the balls to ask you out. You’d said yes, and your very first date was dinner and a planetarium show. Much more romantic than a movie, you’d said when he asked if it was lame.

And now here you were, about to eat lunch here after being together for two and a half years. There you are, ordering him a Hokkaido bubble tea and red bean toast, the two things you spent weeks writing down his order for. Before he’s even pulled out his wallet, you’ve paid, and he’s barely able to scold you for not letting him pay because you sit him down.

“That painting was really something else, huh?” He nods, gazing into your eyes.

“Don’t stare, you’re making me self-conscious.” “Shush, let me admire my beautiful girlfriend.” Since you’re in public, the most you can do without getting looks is hold hands, which you do even when the bubble teas and pastries are set down in front of you. His thumb gently strokes the band on your finger.

He doesn’t let go of your hand as you walk into the aquarium. He doesn’t let go as you walk past the giant tank, staring at the colorful fish and little crustaceans. He doesn’t let go when you ask the kind older woman to take a picture of you two in the shark’s mouth, and he most certainly doesn’t let go as you gently stroke the bamboo shark’s back in the touch tank.

Neither of you want to leave, but he knows that his friends will be coming over soon and you’ll want to have the cake and stuff ready. So before you leave, he buys you an adorable stuffed shark plush from the gift store.

Once you’re home, you decide to eat a little something so that you won’t be having only cake for dinner. He sets out some leftovers; the braised eggs from yesterday morning, the cucumber salad you made a few days ago to go with the katsu bowls, and he heats up some rice and leftover chicken.

While the love of your life sets out some food, you take the cake you brought over last night out of the fridge and place it out on the table. It’s simple, swirled with purple and blue with macarons on top. You also bought a 23 candle, a little golden one. 

It’s perfect.

You eat quickly, only having a little bit but enough to satisfy your stomach. Before you two know it, there’s a knock at the door.

The only person who’d knock, it’s Tsukishima. He may be a sarcastic little shit, but he’s tolerable compared to the other people coming over tonight.

“Good evening, y/n-san.” “Hey, Tsukki-kun. Come on it, it’s chilly outside.” In a little bit, Kuroo and Kenma show up. Then come Yukie and Kaori, Komi and Konoha, and of course the ace himself.

“HEY HEY HEY! HOW’S THE BIRTHDAY BOY DOIN’?!”

You smile at Yukie and Kaori, shaking your heads at the tall man who’s currently hugging your boyfriend so tightly you think he might burst.

“I’m doing well, Bokuto-san. Would you mind putting me down?” “Sure thing, birthday buddy! n/n been takin’ care of you today?” “I’m sure she has, in quite a few ways,” snickers Kuroo, and Bokuto guffaws as Kenma elbows the rooster-headed asshole.

“Don’t be crude.” scolds Kenma as he scrolls through his phone. You assume that Kuroo made him leave his switch at home.

Two hours into the evening and a bottle of champagne later and the cake is almost gone. Yukie and Bokuto are having an arm wrestling contest on the coffee table with Tsukki as the referee, Kaori is passed out on the couch, Komi and Konoha are giggling like second graders for no reason, and Kenma is crying into Kuroo’s shirt about his village and how he needs to get back to the island, that shit ain’t gonna build itself. Keiji is sitting beside you, his head buried in your shoulder.

“You tired, baby?” He nods, his hand gently rubbing your thigh.

“Okay, I’ll call a cab for these idiots. Sit tight.” You stand to go grab your phone, and before you know it the living room is clear of the eight stooges. Keiji walks up behind you, his face slightly flushed, and wraps his arms around you. You can tell he’s a bit tipsy, but he’s not falling over or anything.

“Baby, go brush your teeth and get ready for bed. I’ll clean up in here.” “I can help, love-” “No. I’ll only be a minute. The birthday boy still has one more gift to open.”

With that, you unlatch him from you and go to clean up the glasses and plates. It was nice to catch up with everybody, especially the girls. There were only ten of you, but it was nice to have company for the first time in a while.

You set the leftover cake into the fridge before going into the bathroom to brush your teeth, and you can feel a pair of eyes on you as you wash up and change into one of his shirts.

“Come here, love.”

“In a second.”

“You’re spending the night, right?”

“Of course, baby. I’m yours for the night.”

“You’re too good to me.” “You’re one to talk, prince charming.” He smiles and takes you into his arms. The kiss he pulls you into is just as dizzying and passionate as all of his kisses, but just a bit more fervent. He’s excited, and so are you. 

He pulls away to take your hand, his favorite place to press gentle kisses to. His lips brush over the little band for what feels like the millionth time today, and you remember the promise that the ring means. So does he, and he can’t wait to replace it with a diamond one.

He kisses you again, and you melt into it. He’s so gentle, impossibly so, but despite the gentleness he’s still trapping you there. But trapped against him as he presses a kiss to your forehead and holds your hand in his isn’t such a bad place to be.

“God, I love you so much,” he whispers into your hair. “Mm, how much?” “To the sunflower fields and back.”

(a/n - the “silver band” is supposed to be a promise ring. I’ve always thought that he’d be the kind of guy who would buy you a promise ring.)

[thatlittledandere]

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 15, 16, 17, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26, 27, 31 and 40 for that shipper ask meme (sorry for picking so many but those questions are GOOD)

You're right, they absolutely are. I'm sorry in advance that this is gonna be LONG and I'm on mobile so I can't even add a read more;;

1. Talk about the first ship you ever had

So I'm SURE there were relationships I was invested in in movies and cartoons I watched as a child (I've always been a sucker for romance, even though there was that period when I didn't want to admit it) but I can't remember anything from very far back;; So it was either Ron and Hermione from Harry Potter or Ichigo and Masaya from Tokyo Mew Mew, whichever I read first.

2. Talk about three of the most important ships throughout your life

GOSH. You can't do this to me. I guess Romione because it was the time in my preteens when I was becoming more aware of... stuff, in general, abs the two cemented my love for friends-to-lovers. Then Ioryuu, because I've never been AS invested in and passionate about a ship before and likely never will. Nothing can compare to that intensity and ngl I miss it;; I miss the genuine hype I felt in my heart that made me interact with people and make things. So many things. I honestly can't think of a third one with such a lasting impact, sorry;;

3. What's your current OTP?

I imagine Souyo scenarios in my head every night before falling sleep and every morning after waking up, this is not a joke not an exaggeration. I still feel a little traitorous saying this on tumblr but their dynamic IS somewhat similar to the way I see Ioryuu so-

4. What's your current NoTP?

I don't think I have one? I have dislikes, some of them strong, but I don't see any of them often enough to be, like, actively angry. I have better uses for my time than willingly exposing myself to stuff I don't like.

5. Do you have any poly ships?

Not generally, juggling two characters is enough work lol. The only poly ships I've ever really actively shipped are Niels, Duncan and Natalie from the web comic Niels And the Gang by humon and Kinatsuen from Boueibu, but neither are actively on my mind much these days.

8. Have you ever shipped yourself with a character?

BOY HAVE I EVER. I've seen someone on tumblr have a side blog for self-shopping and not gonna lie, it's an excellent idea. My late teens were spent reading character x reader fics on Quotev and I started my fic career with the same genre. I don't really know what to do with myself when I DON'T actively ship myself with a character, which is my state of being now that Yosuke surpassed Yoosung as my favorite character;; Ibushi and Yoosung are the biggest ones but man oh boy I have shipped myself with characters from early age and I'm showing no signs of stopping! There's a reason that I main dating sims.

15. Have you ever "shipped at first sight"?

Not for long. I SUCK at forming first impressions. Usually if I start thinking I'll ship something, I end up not being so invested in it after all, and instead shipping something I swore off at first lmao. Which leads us to...

16. Talk about a ship you initially disliked

As a rule of thumb, all of them. I don't understand HOW it keeps happening but somehow almost all the ships I truly care/d about (that I didn't start shipping through osmosis before knowing them in the source material) started out as something I thought I "wouldn't be able to get behind." Gajevy. Shikatema. Sasunaru. Doctor/Rose. Karabita. Atsutodo. Kiribaku. Yoozen. Enatsu. Freaking IORYUU. EVEN SOUYO. IT'S BEEN YEARS I REALLY SHOULD KNOW THE PATTERN BY NOW

17. Talk about a pairing you've stopped shipping romantically

Like, I started to think they're better as friends after all? I guess NaLi. Then again, I mostly only shipped them out of spite in the first place because I wanted a counter for N/a//Lu, which I never liked at all;;

20. Talk about a ship you feel alone in shipping

Now this time I can say for sure that there isn't one. I can't come up with ships myself and stay on board if there isn't content for it, canon or otherwise;; It's not a conscious decision or anything, it's just how my mind works. I get attached to stuff by exposure, whether from fans or the source material, and if the source material has enough content for two characters for me to pick up on and become interested, it's guaranteed to be enough to become a somewhat popular ship.

21. Is there a ship you just don't get, but have nothing against?

Actually... That's the extent I go to with notp'ing these days. I'm passionate about the right to ship whatever you want so by proxy I can't have anything "against" a ship, even if the sheer thought of it existing makes me nauseous. And I know how to think from points of view other than my own, so I can usually see the appeal, even if it appeals to me personally less than eating dog shit while walking barefoot on rusty nails that are also on fire.

That said, the only ships I have on my Tumblr blacklist are Yoo//ra/n and Suza//lu/lu because they're both popular ships for characters whose tags I am/was following and therefore get suggested a lot even if I want following anyone who ships then. Oh, and all B/LMa//tsu ships! I generally can't feel good about incestuous ships, but can and will fight for their shippers' right to do as they please as long as they stay respectful. (never saw blmatsus who weren't respectful. saw a plethora of anti-blmatsus who were absolute demons. actually the reason i moved away from the last remnants of my anti mindset was that i didn't want to be associated with THOSE anti-blmatsus, when the shippers they wanted dead were all such sweet people. food for thought.)

22. Which of your ships have the best chemistry?

All of them?? Lmao I don't understand this question, isn't shipping all about liking the chemistry between characters? Or the potential for it I guess, in which case the chemistry is whatever you want it to be, which is great B) I'm sorry I keep accidentally dodging questions I'm bad at choosing examples from a long, unordered list

23. Which of your ships deserve better writing?

Hhhhhhh I shipped Jerza for years and was still unsatisfied with their ending, Jellal didn't get to heal enough and we didn't really see them working through their past in an effective way and getting comfortable around each other. It's like they were supposed to be friends to enemies to lovers but the last part didnt really develop and their relationship stagnated at the stage were they were both just permanently awkward out of regret, and couldn't bring themselves out of it even though everything was forgiven forever ago. Or I've forgotten a lot of stuff that happened. Very likely. Is your a case of bad writing or good writing not working out the way I wanted it to? You're asking the wrong person.

25. Have you ever shipped a pairing before you even started watching the show/movie simply because of gifs/graphics or similar?

EYUP. Harumichi was my otp for like a whole year before I saw a single episode with them lol. It was crazy, but it was REAL. I've also went into shows already paying attention to things I knew my friends/people I follow shipped, kind of hoping I'd get into it.

26. Have you noticed a pattern in your shipping? Is there a romantic dynamic I'm writing these questions down from screenshots and I cropped the rest of this one out by accident rip

Eeeh I go for the obvious. Best friend pairs, obvious pining, some rivalry with sexual tension, though I don't really know what to do with those. Then there's the fact that I never see it coming sick Persona 5 reference bro and start shipping the couple I thought "should just be friends" at first. This is more about my relationship to the ships than their dynamic but it's very constant...

27. Is there a ship you've shipped for most of your life?

Hmmm well I got into HP and started shipping Romione sometime in mid elementary school so it's definitely been more than half my lifetime since, but I don't really know if I "ship it" anymore. I didn't start disliking them or anything but for me, "shipping" is an active intrest in a fictional relationship, so if it reaches the stage where I like it, in theory, but I don't have the feels, it doesn't really count. That's why I can say I like ships without shipping them. It's gotta be actively on my brain, man.

31. Talk about one of your favorite headcanons for a ship you love

I haven't mentioned Kannao once, which is criminal. So here's some of what I imagine their future to be like :D I've been getting new Persona followers recently so here's something for you to unfollow me over lmao

So first of all I ignore the canon that Naoto goes back to the city for her detective work after her first year of high school, shhh she stays in Inaba, only taking the occasional jobs. She and Kanji start dating during the spring break before their second year and get more comfortable with each other, so that the next summer they're still cute and very much themselves (which means somewhat reserved) but not as awkward anymore :) I haven't thought about what happens after they graduate but they get married in their early 20s and have a son <3 (Chie and Yukiko adopted their daughter only slightly earlier. They may or may not have had a bit of a competition going on) ((yes Souyo are very much together but if they end up having children I haven't thought about it it's later))

Kanji manages the textile shop and Naoto helps when she's free from detective stuff. They live in Inaba but Naoto is away quite often for her gigs;; She takes up a few jobs less when Kouta is little though so he wouldn't feel less close to his Mom than his Dad.

Both Kanji and Naoto suffered from unfair expectations growing up, so they try their best to make up for it with Kouta's upbringing. They want him to feel comfortable being himself and free to express himself the way he wants; they make sure he knows he'll always be loved and supported, and to never be ashamed of who he is. As a child it doesn't even occur to him that many social norms and social expectations exist, because Naoto and Kanji pretty much let him do whatever as long as he isn't hurting himself or anyone else. They might go a little overboard though, giving into Kouta's whims without much consideration at all. The Amagi Aunties enforce rules and keep kids grounded in reality much better lmao

40. If you could change one thing about your otp, what would that be?

HMNGHNMHGNMGH I WAMT YOSUKE'S INTERNALIZED BULLSHIT ACKNOWLEDGED!! It's there AtlUS!! Stop pretending oh my god.... I love the Dancing All Night story mode (so far. I am by no means done); Yosuke gets cool moments and Yu's internal monologue really shows how much he appreciates him. The dynamic is so much better than with a silent protagonist, and thank god they didn't go with the tactless anime Yu (as fun as he is). I know there are a bunch of nods to the cut romance across spinoffs but mannnn... I wish they were more serious about it. At this point it's not even that far-fetched to think Yosuke has feelings for Yu that he may or may not be aware of, and I know that Yu as the player character can't be too tied down to one option in canon, but still... Even the clown gets tired of jokes at some point. One can dream.

40 ship questions

#asks #anon #about me #this took like three hours and i didn't even take breaks shjddhjjdfh #i'm not complaining i love answering questions but like #i thought i'd still have time to do something else after #it's almost 3 am now;; it wasn't even midnight when i started;;; #i have another ask in my inbox but i'll have to leave it for tomorrow now orz #also sorry for dropping a bunch of ship names on you without specifying characters or fandoms #i have no excuse i just didn't want to do it #oh and if you're heavily in the 'naoto is trans only go die' crowd... this is the wrong blog for you #i respect other headcanons and preferred readings but it has to go both ways #and i prefer her as a woman if it wasn't clear from this #for personal reasons #that i'm not required to specify #if you make a post referring to naoto as them that's awesome and that's who they are in it #and if you think he's a trans guy but accept not everyone sees him that way that's awesome keep that up #but if me calling naoto her makes your blood boil for whatever reason then unfollow and block if you need to #that's great that's what taking responsibility over your experience is #i'm not guilt-tripping anyone into staying my headcanons are no better than yours

Gainer, Part 1

(Sort of a One Shot Story Post 1/3)

“Alright, guys. It’s week three of my gain train and I have gained…” Jeffrey stepped off the scale, opened his eyes, and sighed. “…Point…five pounds. Well. That’s progress! I’m sure…I’m sure my body just needs to get used to this new gaining thing. I’ll update you next week. Subscribe to HEFFrey! Later!” He turned off the camera and groaned. Another week of failure. Any kind of gain would’ve been nice. Muscle gain. Fat gain. Subscriber gain, even. He just didn’t know what he was doing wrong. The first week he’d tried stuffing himself silly. Second week was gainer shakes and reps. Third week was water chugging to try for even water weight. But everything just went straight through him. He had been cursed with this scrawny twink body when all he wanted was to be a big bellied bear. His aunt had said their family was blessed with a godly metabolism but he always felt like it was more than that. He couldn’t gain a pound even when he tried hard. He felt doomed to being a hundred and twelve pounds soaking wet.

The comments were nice though. Since his channel was new, it was mostly supporters, hardly any trolls bothered to lurk around him, though he’d get the odd ‘wtf’ down there or people who wished they could keep weight down and envied him. Mostly though, he had some followers who encouraged him and looked forward to his development. They said he should keep trying and he’ll get there. But it just felt like an impossible dream. This night a couple comments popped up right away. ‘Love the water stuff. Keep it coming.’ ‘U cute already. No need for gains.’ ‘More ass shots.’ ‘Hnnnghgnnnnngnghg’ He chuckled a bit at them. He knew guys would be jerking off to it. In a way, it was what he was going for. It made him feel sexy, though it felt a little gross at times. Essentially, it depended on his mood. But it was a fetish thing, gaining, so he knew what to expect. Another thing he expected were the suggestions. In fact, he’d only tried to water gain because of a suggestion on a previous video. So when he saw a comment of someone trying to peddle some kind of gain quick scheme, he was mildly interested. ‘I have trick for you. It is good. Get big fast. Just a drink. Message me contact info.’ He rolled his eyes. Guys were always trying to hook up with him like this, and it was a little annoying. ‘Get big fast’ wasn’t going to be enough to get his digits. He never met with people from online. Call him traditional, but he was a face to face kind of guy. He wasn’t even on Grindr. There weren’t any other comments worth scrolling through, so he plugged in his phone and decided to retire for the night. He went to bed emotionally deflated and hoped he could find something new to try tomorrow.

“You’re HEFFrey.” He was at his favourite bar the next night. He was never a big fan of beer, but his gainer mindset convinced him if he drank it enough, maybe one day he’d have a trucker worthy beer gut. He was two coronas deep when he heard the name called out. The music in the bar was loud though and his lightweight ass was a little buzzed already so at first he thought he was just hearing things. But then again in the strong accent he couldn’t place, his tag was called again. “You are HEFFrey. Gain boy of the web.” A tall stranger had sat down next to him. The guy had very pale skin, jet black hair, and these wide blazing sun coloured eyes that stared so deeply. He didn’t move as he spoke directly at Jeffrey. “It is you, yes?” he asked again. “Uh…” Jeffrey started sweating all over. Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, was all he could think. His biggest fear was someone recognising him from his channel. That’s why he tried not to film his face in the videos. So how did this guy know? “Must be you. You have the mother’s marking,” the stranger said pointing to a spot on the back of Jeffrey’s palm. “My birth mark…” Jeffrey whispered, pulling his hand away and cradling it. “So… You got me… Please though, it’s private. Don’t tell anyone.” The stranger shook his head. “No. But I left you a comment. Did you read?” “Uh, thanks bro, but I get a lot of comments…” “I help you. I know fast gain. Big gain.” Jeffrey blinked. So this guy… Was this the guy who asked for his contact info? He always imagined his subscribers lived halfway across the globe. What was the coincidence they’d be meeting in the same city in the same bar the very next day? “I have gain product,” the guy said. After he finished speaking, he actually moved now and fished a bottle out of a satchel Jeffrey hadn’t noticed earlier. The bottle looked just like the one of Mass Gainer he had at home, but this one was in some unrecognisable language. Jeffrey blinked at it and scoffed. “I’ve tried that kinda stuff…” “No. You have not. This is not like your lame human powders. This is from my homeland. It is guaranteed gain.” “Listen, dude. Nothing works on me,” Jeffrey said. “This stuff sounds great, but I’m almost ready to give up.” “No!” The guy shook his head quickly. “You are my favourite to watch. I promise you, this works.” Jeffrey huffed and drank a bit more of his beer. “What do I gotta do? I can’t read that shit…” The man beamed excitedly. “It dissolves in any drink. Milk. Water. Beer. Smoothie. Up to you—” Jeffrey snatched the bottle, uncapped it, and poured half a cup of it into his beer. He lazily swirled it around with a finger before chugging it down. The alcohol went straight to his head and he felt a little tipsy. “Ah… Oop…too fast.” The stranger watched him in awe, a pleased smile on his face. “How do you feel?” “Like this ain’t gonna work…” Jeffrey leaned forward and grabbed the handsome strangers shirt. “But I did it for you cause you’re hot, so how ‘bout you take me home?” The stranger all but sparkled. “I’d love to.”

The next morning, Jeffrey woke up with a wicked hangover and an ache in his anus he felt like he would feel for days. He didn’t remember much from the night before. He remembered little clips: a car ride, the sound of his keys, shirts flying off, the overall feeling of being hot and horny. But now, he felt sick and gross, with a side of regret. But he knew the ache of a good fuck and it had been a while. Too bad he couldn’t even remember the other guy’s name and he was nowhere to be found… After throwing up in the bathroom, he pulled himself to his feet and went to wash his face. The water was so cool and refreshing it helped him think straight and his vision cleared up as well. A second later, he was staring at himself in the mirror. “…No… No way…” He backed up slowly, staring down at his midsection. He couldn’t believe it. His usually concave stomach was actually slightly bloated. For anyone else, this would be a side effect of all the beer and snacks he had the day before, but for him, it was like he’d become as fat as Santa Claus. He couldn’t believe it. Looking down, he pressed a finger into his stomach to make sure it was real. When his skin resisted, he felt almost faint with delight. It worked! That guy’s stuff, whatever it was, actually worked! And overnight too! He tried to reconnect his mind to his feet so he could go stand on his scale. He closed his eyes and counted to three, then looked down. “…Two…Two pounds? Two pounds!” Jeffrey started panting. “Oh my god… Oh my fucking god… I need to… I need to vlog this!” He nearly tripped over himself trying to get to his camera. He was so excited to share his new growth. “Hey, guys! So...Oh my god, this is a pretty, uh, impromptu video. I said I'd be back next week, but, uh... Well, just look!” He paraded his new body in front of his camera very pleased with himself. “So, this growth is kind of a mystery... I met this pretty hot guy who had, like, a gainer shake powder or whatever. Some cool foreign stuff. Threw it in my beer and here we are. I’m so excited. To that guy, thanks bud! I didn’t get your name but like… You know. Hit me up.” He rubbed his stomach happily and patted it. “Okay, so that’s all for now. I can’t wait to see where we are next week.”

This slight new shape gave Jeffrey so much confidence. He celebrated every night and woke up each morning ridiculously hungover. He managed to sober up for his work shifts but he didn’t have too many shifts so he didn’t worry about it. Besides, his cousin, though barely around, paid for everything in their apartment so work wasn’t important to him. He’d started dedicating all his own income to this gain thing. He always went to the same bar each night but he didn’t see the powder guy anywhere again. He shrugged it off though. You could only get lucky so often, right? Flipping on the camera a week later, he nearly danced in excitement. “Alright, first reading of the day,” he said. “My appetite’s been up and as you guys can see, there’s definitely new growth. I feel like I should have, like, a name for when we do a scale reading… Scale…scale… Uhhhh… Measurement mode? Hah, I don’t know… I’ll work on it…” He stepped on the scale and beamed. “Another two pounds! Guys, I’m… Just wow. I’m 116 lbs now. I never thought I’d get here… Let’s do a belly measurement!” He pulled out his measuring tape and pulled it around his middle. “29 inches! God, I mean, compared to what’s out there, that’s pretty lame, but for me, this is so dope. I was 25 inches two weeks ago. Jesus. I hope this keeps up. I’m fucking…I’m shook or whatever.” He turned and gave them one last extended front and profile view before signing off and turning off the camera. He wasn't much of an editor so he just re-watched it to make sure he liked the video and threw it up online. Within minutes he was getting quite the comments. Many were just as excited as he was and he loved it. One guy mentioned his arm was still bigger than Jeffrey but Jeffrey didn’t mind. He knew he was gonna get big. He just had the best feeling about it.

Dimension Wave   Chapter 34 — Limited Dimension Wave

“What’s with all the ruckus at this hour?”

Alto sleepily rubbed his eyes. Beside him stood Yamikage and Tsugumi, both of whom were asleep minutes ago as well. Yamikage had adjusted to living on the seas and has been sleeping properly too. Tsugumi was still half-asleep.

“The ship is being pulled along by something.” “Surely ‘tis but a wave.” “If it’s just a wave, then I don’t know why my Helmsmanship skill isn’t working at all.”

I was able to keep the ship from capsizing when the storm hit us, but I don’t know why it’s not doing anything now. Was it because I caught the Humongous Squid? That shouldn’t have anything to do with it. But if it is, then my fishing must’ve affected something. I mean, that doesn’t really make sense though. We should’ve only been jostled around a little by the drag of the squid. Maybe we simply triggered a flag for the Sea of No Return… but that would be awfully optimistic thinking.

“Be on gua—What?”

I turned around to see who tapped my shoulder. But there wasn’t anyone there. I mean, obviously not. Everybody on board is standing in front of me. To my right are Yamikage and Tsugumi. To my left are Alto and Sheryl. Ahead of me is Shouko. Who would be there to tap me on my shoulder?

“Kizuna, what if there were ghosts on the sea?” “Well, I’d expect you to be a little more scared…”

The lady standing right in front of me seemed as if she could see more than we could. I’m not scared enough to be shrieking out loud, but Shouko looked extremely serious considering the possibility of ghosts and stuff… Well, I know Dimension Wave is only a game, but I wish she would at least pretend to be scared. But someone else was.

“… phantom ships.” “S-S-Su-Surely you jest, miladies!” “Well, I s’pose ghost ships and pirate ships are nautical staples.”

Neither Sheryl nor Alto seemed surprised. It’s true that MMORPG’s usually have them as dungeons or events. Hell, it’d be more surprising if they didn’t show up on a nautical RPG. And why are you pissing your pants already, Yamikage?

“Yeah, you’re right… That would explain why the mist and the sudden chilliness too.”

Visibility had rapidly worsened. The fog, eerie and disturbing, was extremely well done on the developers’ part. Drowsy before, but Yamikage was now trembling. Was she that terrified?

“Hey, Yamikage. It’s a little clichéd, but would you let me scare you with a ‘boo!’?” “How! You would be such a knave!” “Figured you’d get mad.”

I don’t think my joke went over very well, but I also don’t think it made much of a difference that I warned her first.

“Thy mere suggestion has wrought me with fury!” “Fine… then how ‘bout you, Alto?” “No way, José! I’ve got the heebie-jeebies already!” “Heh, I never said I was actually gonna do it, but your guys’ reactions was amazing.”

It might’ve been more fun to push them, but the other three…

“Do tell why you are looking at me like that.” “… try me.” “You’re so oopy spoopy, big bro!”

Yikes. I don’t know what I expected out of my sister, but I really don’t want her to act all cutesy with me like that again.

“But in all seriousness, a ghost ship, huh? Sounds like it’ll be tough.” “Even during the day~!”

Well, the whole party’s leveled up a bit and even I’m at about half the Energy I used to have. I’ve also been using Transmutation to get some Energy out of the squid I fish up, but since the skill is only at rank I, it takes quite a bit of time to cast. Plus, since I get about 5-15 Energy per squid, that’s only about 700 Energy per hour. I’ll probably have to keep using the skill to level it up to II, but it’s yet to pop up even though I’ve been at it for a while now.

“I-I-Is that the ship, perchance?! Oh, but I am so frightened!” “What’s truly frightening is that you still haven’t acquired Night Vision.”

She probably sleeps through the night, but I’ve had it unlocked for so long already. More importantly, though, I looked over to the direction she was pointing. It was glowing in a ghostly white light, emitting a full body sense of dread. The realism of it all truly spoke to the beauty of VR.

The ghost ship was absolutely colossal. Our sailboat was only about 20 meters in length, but we were completely eclipsed in comparison. Sheryl explained that leisure watercraft over 25 feet (approximately 7.6 meters) are designated as cabin cruisers. But this was more like a yacht. It had the space for multiple living quarters and other facilities on board. It was probably, what, ten times bigger us and it had suddenly appeared in front of us. The sails were in tatters and its planks crumbling. If it weren’t for the mysterious white light that it’s emitting, you’d think this ghost ship is just some floating rotten junk. If this were a horror movie, there would be a theremin playing in the score right now.

“Yamikage.” “Gah!” “I… I just wanted to speak to you. No need to be shrieking or anything…”

And just for kicks, I turned to look at Alto and then gazed past his shoulders. He seemed out of it. Whatever it may be, their reactions are top notch. You’ve just gotta have at least one person in your squad like these two!

“I think I respect you a little less now, Kizuna.” “Whaaat? Just because there’s a ghost ship?” “But the look on your face!”

Haha! Oh, this guy. But I suppose there are more important matters at hand. Like the ghost ship.

“Like I was saying, let’s be on guard and prepare for combat. Something like this has gotta have enemies on board.” “Understood.” “‘kay.” “Mm-hmm!”

The three of them replied with confidence if not enthusiasm. The other two? Cowards. Especially that Yamikage. Get a grip! At least Alto’s got an excuse. He’s been busy trading up till now, so he might be a little underleveled. Yamikage, though, has the strongest stats out of all of us. With her Drain, her numbers are better than even Shouko. But, I mean, if she’s simply afraid of ghosts and spirits, then there’s nothing you can really do about it.

“If you two are that bad with ghosts and stuff, you wanna stay behind?” “… Stay behind? Here?” “Yeah.” “I shall follow you till the ends of the Earth!” “I mean, it’s probably safer if you stay here and wait for us.” “Hell to the no! It’s a billion times scarier to be here alone!” “I guess? I grew up watching a lot of this stuff, so I guess I’m used to it.”

My sisters and I used to always rent horror flicks and watch them together. There’s even new VR horrors where you watch in first-person. I’m not crazy about the genre as a whole though. But enough contemplating. Let’s charge on board.

Vrrt!

There was a crackling noise. It was a noise I’ve heard merely two weeks ago. It’s here… With a bright flash of light, time and space warped—

—Limited Dimension Wave.

Kizuna†Exceed (Captain)

Hakoniwa Shouko (Vice Captain)

Yamikage

Sheryl

Tsugumi†Exceed

Altorese

A menu popped up with a list of our names. Once past the blinding light, it looked like the dungeon was located below deck. There was no information on the minimap except for each of our locations. Everything else was pitch black. It’s probably one of those hidden dungeons that pop up in games all the time.

“Limited Dimension Wave?”

I muttered aloud to myself, but everyone else was similarly confused by what it meant. Shouko had already readied her weapon. It’s like she’s some sort of disciplined soldier, ready to engage in combat at the drop of the hat. Sheryl was simply looking around with her usual blank expression. Tsugumi had her battle scythe wielded in both hands. Her lower body trembled while her animal ears twitched agitatedly. Alto seemed out of it, just as before. And then there’s…

“Eeeeeeeeek! No, it’s too scary! Help meee!”

There was about one person who was almost repulsively afraid. But wait. Where did that verbal tic of her go? She’s actually that terrified? I mean, she was scared before, but… I don’t know, I feel bad for putting her through this now.

“Yamikage, it’s alright!” “… Kiz!” “… Who?” “… Miss Kizuna.”

I have so much to say about her correcting herself, but I can save that for later. I’m not about to ask her what she thinks about me though. But Yamikage. Just what is she? I’m sure if I got to know her, I’d understand her more and guess to how she is as a person. Not her character, but rather the actual player behind the ninja. I mean, of course, it’d be rude for me to pry. In online games like this, you never know who’s comfortable sharing what with whom. This is all just theory, but in my mind, Shouko is from old money, Sheryl… I’m not so sure about, Tsugumi is obvious, and Alto is probably… a little older. You know what they say about books and covers though.

“Chill, Yamikage. We’re in a game. Even if there were ghosts, it’s all just a game.” “… I understand, milady.”

From below her, I looked up straight into her eyes… And seemingly calmer now, she nodded in agreement. Alright, with her out of the way, I had to get a handle on the situation. I just had to pay no mind to Dark Shadow holding on to my sleeve.

“So, what’s does ‘limited’ mean?” “… With restrictions.” “I mean, if we look at it literally, then I suppose it’s a restricted Dimension Wave?” “I believe it to mean that it is limited to the current party listed in the information screen.” “Ooh, that makes sense…”

This was something I’ve seen more than once in MMO’s. It’s not dissimilar to instance dungeons and party quests. Tsugumi had played one that was all about co-op with your party members. It’s a total cliché, but I’ll bet that we’ll have to clear this dungeon and then defeat a boss. We’ll get quest rewards and boss drops at the end too. And we’re probably limited to doing this once a day or once a week or something. I get it now. That’s probably why it’s limited.

“Alrighty. No point to standing around like this. Shall we?”

[whippedkoalas]

Hi! Can I suggest a drabble outside the list: William and Chris (friendship), preferably happening in future and a sentence “Don’t you ever miss casual sex or hooking up with other people?” I understand if you don’t feel comfortable to write about this but I would really like to read your take on their friendship.

Hello! I finished your drabble today. I hope that you’ll like it. I love their friendship but I always find my Chris’ characterization kind of off. Anyway, I hope Chris doesn’t come off as childish, that wasn’t my intention. 

“hey man, no, shit, I can’t be there on Saturday :( I’ve got plans with Noora, I can’t cancel. Tell the boys I said hi though. Don’t be too wild, okay. See you on Monday 👌 ”

When your best friend in the whole world suddenly falls in love with a girl, it changes everything for you too.When Chris was a teenager, people used to say “bros before hoes” and “chicks before dicks”. It is kind of true, in his experience. His friends always prioritized their group over girls. They weren’t called The Penetrators for nothing. They hooked up a lot with different girls, never promised them more than a good fuck and a hoodie and always took time to party together. So it was bros before hoes forever and everything was fine.Then William met Noora. William never tried to hide that she changed his life. She changed Chris life too. Noora is a great, really smart, beautiful girl. That’s really cliché adjectives to use, but it’s the truth. She makes William really happy, and Chris can see that almost every day. And clearly, she’s his friend, too. But when he reads William’s text, he’s disappointed. It’s cliché once again, but it used to be William and Chris against the world and now it’s William and Noora against the world. Realistically, he gets it. They’re in love, have been for years now and they want to spend their weekends together, it’s logical. Chris and William spend a lot of time together because they attend the same courses (yeah, Chris doesn’t really know how he ended up in law school but he did.) and even if they live together, William and Noora are both really busy with uni and stuff. Weekends are when they’re able to spend time together and everything. Chris gets it. Or at least, he tries.He can’t deny that William is there for him when he needs a friend. He can’t deny he still spends time with him, that he still goes to parties with him, that he’s still his best friend. William’s priorities changed as soon as he laid eyes on Noora, though. They don’t have the same priorities anymore. They don’t have the same life. Chris still hooks up with a lot of girls. Apart from a six months relationship with Emma, and a kind of friends with benefits relationship with Eva, Chris hasn’t really dated someone seriously. He doesn’t even count Iben because, well, that (first) relationship was a total and utter mess. What a jerk he had been to her.He still loves to flirt, he still goes on Tinder from time to time. He doesn’t really want to settle down. (William tells him that he just hasn’t found a girl that he loves enough to settle down yet.)A lot of his friends are in a relationship. In fact, as time flies, more and more friends settle down. He doesn’t really see the appeal, honestly, but sometimes, when a friend tells him with a smile that he met a girl and that it seems serious, he can’t help but wonder if he has a problem. But, like why would you choose to have sex with the same person for the rest of your life when you’re 25? You have a long life ahead of you. That seems boring. Anyway, Chris has been planning this get-together with The Riot Club for a week. He was looking forward to seeing all of them at the same time like before. And now, William won’t be there. The Riot Club without their boss is not really The Riot Club.

« Really? You can’t at least idk come for an hour? it sucks » he texts back.« Nah I promised ages ago.. sorry! We’ll organize something else, okay? »

The worst thing is that Chris knows that if William asked Noora to cancel their plans, she would say yes. But he didn’t even ask, because William doesn’t really care if the boys party without him. He remembers their trip to Lillehammer in Third year too well (and their entire Russ, in all honesty. William didn’t even pretend to care.)

When Saturday comes, he prepares everything and waits for his friends impatiently. He found their song, put it back on his iPod, and printed a few pictures from their years at Nissen. His flat is not big and with 30 boys, it will soon be cramped, but they’re gonna have fun.

They do have fun.

After a few drinks, some cigarettes and a lot of laughter, Chris checks his phone. He received a text from William thirty minutes ago.

« Bro are you still at yours? I’m free, tell me where I can meet you, losers » « YEAAH STILL AT MINE ! what happened? » he answers « okay, I’ll be there soon. Idk some Vilde drama, I think?  Just waiting for Eva to get there so I can drop them off at Sana’s »   « say hello to my favorite girl of the girl squad okay? »« I’ll show this text to Chris next time she comes by » « she’s my twin, it’s different.» « I’ll show it to Jonas hahaha »  «🙄Get yo ass there real quick bro »

When William gets there, the boys are sitting in a circle in Chris living room, apparently sharing stories. After greeting everyone, he sits down and one of the boys pour him a drink.

The boys have always loved to tease him about « his girl » and tonight is no exception.

« So, when are you getting hitched? » Borkis asks him with a smirk after a while.« hmm, » he says, sipping from his drink. « I don’t know » he smiles.« wait, » Chris says, surprised. « You’re… going to get married? » « maybe? » William answers.« What??? » Chris yells. « What the fuck? You’re 25 and Noora is like 23? » « Hey, relax. I didn’t say we’re getting married tomorrow » William laughs.« You proposed? » Borkis chimes in. « No, not really » The boys look at him weirdly. « What does « not really » mean? » one of them asks.« I haven’t formally proposed. But like, the first time I told her we could get married we weren’t even together yet. It’s something we say casually, you know? I don’t even think she expects a formal proposal, so yeah… It’s just… we’ve talked about this. It’s just .. in the cards I guess. »« You’re nervous! » Andreas yells. « That’s cute, W »« Oh shut up Andy, » William says. After that, the conversation shifts to another topic.

Chris doesn’t forget. So when he’s eating lunch with William the next Monday, he wants to know more.

« Will, were you serious on Saturday? » He asks, turning his head to face him.« Serious about what? »« Marriage » he clarifies.« Well, yeah, of course »  he says, taking another slice of his pizza.It seems so normal for him, Chris is surprised. « Really? You’re really going to marry Noora? »« Eventually, yes » William furrows his eyebrows a bit. « Why? »« I don’t know, it seems logical » he replies. « What is this about Chris? You’re acting like I plan to move to Peru to raise Llamas or something » « Don’t you ever miss casual sex or hooking up with other people? » Taken aback, William chuckles. « No » « Never? »« Never. »  he repeats. « So you actually want to have sex only with Noora for the rest of your life? »« that’s the plan, yeah »« Wow »« You realize that it’s been almost seven years, right? Married or not, it doesn’t change much. »« Yeah, yeah of course I know but it seems really boring, sorry bro » William laughs « Oh my god Chris… I promise you I’m not bored » « You’re going to be… You’re only 25! » William laughs harder. « Chris, I’m in love with Noora and have been since I’m 18. Casual sex doesn’t mean anything for me now. I don’t feel like I’m missing out. » « I believe you, I just have trouble to like, conceptualize it? » « That’s probably because you’ve never been in love. Or because it’s not the kind of life you want, maybe. Either way, it’s okay. If you don’t want to settle down, don’t. I didn’t have a choice, so…  » William smiles and nudges him. « What do you mean? » he asks.« It was love at first sight, like I don’t even know how to explain but I only have eyes for her. Not hooking up is not a choice, it’s just like that, an evidence. I don’t ask myself questions, it’s natural, like fate or something »  « Okay… but like, you don’t find girls attractive anymore or what? »« I don’t know, it’s not even a question. I still have eyes, of course, but it’s not like when we were in school, no. »« And for example, the girl that was flirting with you last year, she was beautiful, you didn’t even wonder if maybe you could…? »« No, Chris. I’ve worked hard to build my life with Noora. I won’t destroy everything for a fuck. I’m very happy with her. She makes me happy. That’s all that matters. » He smiles and then looks at Chris… « What is this about Chris? You’ve never questioned my relationship with Noora before.  » « You know that Fabian has a girlfriend? » William shakes his head so Chris continues « Well he met her online a few weeks ago. We had a lot of parties planned and we were about to organize a trip to Ibiza this summer. Fabian is a very good friend, you know. Not my best friend, obviously, but when we started Uni it was great to have him around because you have your life with Noora and I needed a group of friends with whom I could party. And now we’re almost done with uni and even Fabian settled down. He told me that he won’t go to Ibiza because Laura doesn’t want him to go. I realized that I’m the only one that hasn’t had a proper relationship. » « I’m sorry about Fabian » William says. « Do you really feel left out? I promise you I always try to be there  f—» « I know William, I know. You’re the best. Honestly, I know that you really try to do your best and that’s why you’re my best friend, okay? But, like, you have to live your life with Noora. I get it, it’s logical. When your friends have all figured out their lives though, and you’re still not sure how to cook pasta, it can be a bit… I don’t know I just feel self-conscious. I just sometimes wonder if I have a problem, you know. I mean even Eskild left Oslo for a boy, and I’ve never really been in love! »William smiles shyly. « Chris, do you want to settle down? I mean, now. Would you like to find a girl today and settle down with her? »« No, not really. » Chris admits. « Then don’t. If one day you call me to tell me that you met a girl and that she’s it for you, I will be ecstatic for you. But, like. If you never do, then it’s great too. It’s your life, you just have to be happy. You don’t need anyone to be happy, man. You’re Christoffer Schistad, come on! Plus, you will always be invited to our family dinners okay? » They laugh together. They don’t really speak about their lives like that a lot. They’re both really reserved, but Chris is happy to be able to speak about this with his best friend.

After a while, William tells him « Chris? About Ibiza… Do you want us to go? » and then smiles.Chris is surprised. « Us? And Noora? » « Did Noora ever hold us back? » William smirks. « True. Maybe she could come with us? »« What? I thought it was a boys trip! » William says, confused.« Yeah but like, if I find a cute girl to hook up with, you’ll need a distraction. And, Noora is cool. »William rolls his eyes.

#William & Chris #drabble

[pariswrites-blog]

So I decided to make a large list of plots / faces / ships that I want, which you can find below the cut. It’s long. Check it out and message me/like this if you’re interested in any of them!

MOST WANTED

So I’ve got 3 ships that I want most of all: Niels Schneider x Xavier Dolan, Daniel Sharman x Frank Dillane, and Niels Schneider x Daniel Sharman. I’m completely open plot wise for any of these though for the Niels x Daniel one, I did make this post earlier and still 100% stand by it. I will love you forever if you do one of these with me.

CANONS

TEEN WOLF

I love this show too much and am so sad to see it go so why not do some 1x1s for it? 

I love playing Isaac tbh and would love to have some ships for him. Allison x Isaac is like my OTP so if someone did that with me I would scream? I’ve also always been intrigued with the idea of Lydia x Isaac so I would totally love it if someone did that one too (and I’m cool with changing Holland’s face if you’re uncomfortable with her). Scott x Isaac, Stiles x Isaac, Jackson x Isaac are all some other suggestions. I’m intrigued with Boyd x Isaac as well so that’s a suggestion there too.

Also, sorry Thiam shippers, but I’m 100% forever on the Briam train so if someone would play Liam against my Brett, I’d be in heaven.

IN THE FLESH

Okay so, fun fact, this blog was re-purposed from an rp blog for a group that sadly died. It was an ITF inspired rp and I loved the character I played there and would love to bring him back. There was also a wanted connection I had for him that never got filled but that would be really great as a 1x1. You can read about my character Apollo Bellerose (Niels Schneider fc) here but here’s also a summary of the idea.

(Muse A is Apollo, Muse B would be your character.)

M/M -- Muse A was a wild child, a feral animal of fire and rule-breaking. Hopes for him were dashed at an early age as he set himself up as the trouble-maker. Muse B was the opposite -- tempered and popular. The only reason their paths crossed was because they grew up in the same small town, in the same class. But that should’ve been it. It was a surprise to everyone when Muse B and Muse A started hanging out together, soon becoming inseparable. They were just children but they were attached at the hip, growing into adolescence and teenagers. Muse A was still wild, Muse B was still calm -- fire and water, red and blue. When they were sixteen, their friendship evolved into something more intimate. Though the relationship could be fraught at time -- Muse A to blame in almost every case -- their bond ran deep. Or it did, until Muse B died suddenly. It was an accident or heart failure or something similar, sudden and unexpected. Too soon. One might’ve expected Muse A to go off the deep-end but, rather, he was numb, going through the motions. That was until the Rising happened and the dead came back. The world ground to a halt but with the PDS sufferers in treatment centers, the world is returning to normal and Muse A is getting back on his self-destructive track. He refuses to acknowledge that overwhelming possibility that Muse B would be one of those PDS sufferers, going so far as to avoid Muse B’s grave. With the PDS sufferers returning to Roarton though, it’s only a matter of time before Muse A wouldn’t be able to deny to it. But will an apocalypse be enough to sever their bond? Probably not.

My main suggestion for B was Xavier Dolan though I also originally suggested Daniel Sharman and Keith Powers. Matt Daddario, Bob Morley, and Dominic Sherwood would also work though Xavier and Daniel would be preferred. This is, like, one I really, really want to do still.

XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS

Campy 90s shows for the win (oh, and fuck you Looper -- it’s still perfectly watchable now). Anyways. I really want a Xena x Gabrielle plot, two bad-ass women travelling through the ancient world, kicking godly asses. As much as I love Lucy Lawless and Renee O’Connor, I realize that they’re not really usable so I’m totally down for changing the faces. Just... Please. Badass women and a canon that totally allows for AUs in all time periods -- it’d be awesome.

THE ORIGINALS

So um... I don’t want like a really super canon 1x1 here but like, after Koleb died, I got in my head this idea of what if, when Davina brought back Kol, Kaleb hitched a ride back. Kaleb’s bitter af but he was always kind of the way in my mind. The pairing would be Davina x Kaleb and we could also make this an OT3 if there was someone who’d like to play Kol as well but that’s not necessary for me.

LES AMOURS IMAGINAIRES

Uh... Indie French cinema for the win? Yeah, I know this won’t get any bites but I’m gonna try anyways. Basically a few years after the end of the movie, Francis and Nicolas meet again. There’s been some maturing, maybe Francis isn’t as close to Marie anymore (or maybe she got married or something). It’s slow-burn reconnecting and falling in love.

FEAR THE WALKING DEAD

So... I know Troy’s a POS person but I think there was potential for evolution in his character. He was isolated from a young age with an abusive father and alcoholic mother which didn’t give him much of a fighting chance in becoming a better person. Off the ranch though, I think he could have evolved. He also had a ton of useful information about walkers. Anyways, I’d like to give him that arc. Also I want to explore that mad chemistry between Nick and Troy so yeah. This masterlist might be good for some general plot ideas and tbh the “Who’s baby is this?” one just screams Trick to me.

GREEK MYTH

This can be like modern or actual myth -- either’s cool. 

Zeus x Ganymede. Either historical like Zeus kidnaps him to be the wine-pourer and Zeus wants him but Ganymede is just perpetually pissed with him for KIDNAPPING him and Zeus has to win him over. Or maybe something modern that’s more sugary daddy/baby-ish?

Telemachus. I really love my baby Telemachus? Or Telemaque as the French would say. But, basically, there’s this suitor and he’s one of the younger ones, probably 25 or less, and not really in the running to win Penelope’s hand but eh. He doesn’t really care. He likes to tease Telemachus but as things get worse in Ithaca, he realizes he’s worried about Telemachus and starts teaching him how to fight and defending him and they start falling in love. He be all like ‘I’ll go with you’ when Telemachus goes to find his father (even though he doesn’t) and, when Odysseus returns, Telemachus has to defend him because he was technically one of the suitors and just... Please. (I’d play Telemachus.)

Odysseus x Penelope. Clever Odysseus and clever Penelope, dominating and tricking the world with their superior minds. A modern!AU.

HARRY POTTER

I love this universe so I’m super down for anything. I won’t do anything set at Hogwarts because I can never remain interested in that tbh but other stuff is cool. I highkey ship Remus x Sirius and would love to write them as long as the faces aren’t Andrew Garfield or Ben Barnes. I also love all the potential in the fucked up dynamic between Fenrir and Remus. I usually end up playing Fenrir but if someone wanted to let me play Remus in that, I’d adore you forever. A Regulus x Remus one would be awesome too. A Nymphadora x Remus ship would be cool too, as would a James x Lily or Lily x Marlene. Outside the Marauders era, someone needs to give me a Ginny x Cho ship. I also wrote a next gen son of Greyback (Lycus Greyback) once that I’d love to bring back. Maybe with Teddy? Or OCs -- OCs in the HP universe are totally okay with me.

PLOTS

So this tag has the plots I want but some I particularly want.

X. I’d like to be Muse B and maybe like have Tom Ellis as A? Or Jason Momoa? Idk. I’m open but I think it’d be super fun.

X. I’d be cool with playing either in this plot; I’d love to see Troye Sivan as A but again open but fun sounding.

“you’re supposed to be on a blind date with someone but you sat down at the wrong table and i haven’t been able to get a word in edgewise to tell you that and it’s been thirty minutes” from this post. I’ve no preferences on genders or faces just I think this could be cool.

Yo I’ve mentioned this multiple times not but THIS PLOT with Daniel Sharman as A and Niels Schneider as B -- let me play B and love. me.

“what is the ONE thing i asked you NOT to do tonight?” “raise the dead…” “AND WHAT DID YOU DO?!” “…raised the dead…” from this post. I really want to play a necromancer? Maybe we could do a Trick!AU where the walkers are because of necromancers and Troy has had to repress the fact he’s one his entire life and then Jeremiah and Jake are dead and yeah. But we could also do this as entirely OC. I’d still love it be necromancer-caused zombie apocalypse but I’m cool with other stuff.

“i’m a ghost and i’m trapped in the graveyard and i don’t normally talk to mortals but bro i have to ask wtf are you doing hanging around a graveyard is your life really this sad” from this post. open and fun again!

X. PLEASE. Any sort of serial killer plot would be awesome. Which is a weird fucking thing to say but okay.

“you and your friend always sit at the table a couple down from mine and gossip in [insert language here], which happens to be a language i’m currently learning. i’ve been eavesdropping to try and improve my listening comprehension and oh my god are you actually talking about how hot i am???” -- this please, from this post. maybe like a daniel sharman x tyler posey? or idk.

literally anything from this post but like i mention “who’s baby is this? au” for Trick in a canon divergent plot (ie. after they leave the ranch, before they get to the dam)

also this could also work for xavier dolan x niels schneider.

SHIPS

So how about a Xavier Dolan x Daniel Sharman? Or Jenna Thiam x Niels Schneider? Also Jack Falahee, Crystal Reed, Kat McNamara, Conrad Ricamora x Daniel Sharman. Other ones that don’t include Daniel, Xavier, or Niels: Eva Green x Caitlin Stasey (I’d also be cool with playing Eva if we used them for Xena and Gabrielle), Riz Ahmed x Fawad Khan (Fawad as a multi-billionaire playboy and Riz as a devoted grad student, maybe?), Charlie Hunnam x Jason Momoa, Marlon Teixeira x Willy Cartier, Andreja Pejic x Hari Nef, Andrew Garfield x Ben Barnes (but not as Remus and Sirius), Sofia Boutella x Charlize Theron.

FACES

It’s very clear that I love Daniel Sharman and Niels Schneider so they will always be most wanted, with Xavier Dolan as a close third. I feel most comfortable with them tbh and have the most muse for them (also I’ve made like 400 gifs of Niels). If you want to make me happy, let me play one of them and play one of the others against me. I would like to branch out at some point though so some others. There are honestly too many for me to list in their entirety so I’ll list only ones I have mentioned already. Bold are ones I want to play, italics I want used against me, plain are the ones I have no preference about (though I’d be open on most of the bold ones too).

Alycia Debnam-Carey, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Samuel Larsen, Adrianne Palicki, Laith Ashley, Elliot Fletcher, Iskra Lawrence, Lisa Teige, Iman Meskini, Hale Appleman, Tarjei Sandvik Moe, Adelaide Kane, Alexandra Daddario, Amber Heard, Josh Holloway, Angelina Jolie, Arden Cho, Barbara Palvin, Alex Saxon, Alexander Koch, Bianca Santos, Caity Lotz, Camila Quieroz, Cara Delevigne, Blake Michael, Avan Jogia, Austin Butler, Diego Barrueco, Bill Skarsgard, Booboo Stewart, Chloe Bridges, Byun Baek-Hyun, Diane Guerrero, Carlos Valdes, Josh Thomas, Dichen Lachman, Christopher Larkin, Eddie Redmayne, Ezra Miller, Gaspard Ulliel, Emeraude Toubia, Emilia Clarke, Famke Janssen, Gabriella Wilde, Halston Sage, Dev Patel, Douglas Booth, Godfrey Gao, Harry Shum Jr., Karen Fukuhara, Kiowa Gordon, Landon Liboiron, Matt Hitt, Matthew Gray Gubler, Keira Knightley, Kiana Lede, Lana Condor, Liza Soberano, Maira Walsh, Jamie Blackley, Jordan Fisher, Jamie Campbell-Bower, Megan Fox, Naomi Scott, Max Irons, Reece King, Richard Harmon, Natalia Dyer, Phoebe Tonkin, Priyanka Chopra, Madelaine Petsch, Seo Kang-Joon, Steven R. McQueen, Steven Yeun, Seychelle Gabriel, Shelley Hennig, Skyler Samuels, Haruma Miura, Lee Hyun-Jae, Thomas McDonell, Toby Regbo, Tom Holland, Tyler Blackburn, Joe Manganiello, Tyler Hoechlin, Cengiz Al, Froy Gutierrez, Tanya Beatty, Victoria Moroles, Zoe Kravtiz, Yoon Jeonghan.

This is not all-encompassing. There are plenty more faces. In fact, I’d love to use model faces without any resources -- just some old-fashioned writing, maybe some static icons if we feel like it.

Little Sour Hearts

this would be the Holster/Esther Shapiro 6k Valentine’s Fic literally no one asked for. enjoy <3

Valentine’s Day 2013 – Freshman Year

Holster doesn’t believe in Valentine’s Day. It’s some Hallmark Holiday based on a Christian saint of some sort, and it’s an excuse to be sickeningly sweet with someone you love, and a good day to have just dumped your significant other the night before so you can go to the single’s bars and get wasted. For Holster, it’s always been a day to gorge on chocolate. It always was in Juniors and he doesn’t see any reason to change now that he’s in college.

“What are you doing for Valentine’s Day, bro?” Ransom asks, buttoning one of his nice shirts and holding up a couple different ties to judge their relative colour.

“Being bitter,” Holster says. “What are you doing?”

“Girl from my bio class,” Ransom replies.

Holster doesn’t roll his eyes because Ransom is his best bro, and Holster loves him to death, but he feels the eyeroll. He feels it on the inside.

“Yeah, have fun,” Holster says, rolling off Ransom’s roommate’s bed and grabbing his wallet. “I’m gonna go buy a lot of chocolate.”

“You have fun too,” Ransom says, although he seems a little concerned that this is Holster’s choice of activity.

Holster wanders into the centre of Samwell, kicking aside snowdrifts that try to touch him, and eventually alights upon an old-school style candy counter.

There’s only one other person in the shop, and it’s the shop girl. She has her curly brown hair up in a ponytail, she has heavy glasses, she does not look like a supermodel. Meanly, Holster thinks he understands why she’s the one to be working on Valentine’s Day, and then remembers he doesn’t even have the excuse of working.

The girl is wearing a candy stripe apron, and right as Holster walks into the shop, she makes a face like she’s just taken a bite out of a lemon.

“I can go,” Holster offers.

“Oh, no, I just ate one of the--” she points vaguely at one of the jars of candy. Holster sees they’re the small pink, red, and white candies in the shape of fake hearts. Little Sour Hearts, the sign on them reads.

“They’re really that sour?” Holster asks, inspecting the tiny hearts. They’re each a fraction of his fingernail width.

“Try one,” the girl says, opening the jar and offering him a pink one.

Holster has nothing better to do with his day, and he takes it.

It burns his tongue like it’s constructed out of concentrated Sour Patch Kid sour powder and he coughs and splutters and then eventually manages to swallow the offending heart. The girl behind the counter is cackling with laughter, and the resulting smile has lit up her round face and popped out an almost adorable set of dimples.

“Do you want a coffee?” she asks, nodding at the espresso machine. “We’ve got a couple Valentine’s specials. Pink Chocolate Mochas, Strawberry Hot Chocolate that tastes like it’s supposed to taste like a chocolate dipped strawberry, Red Velvet Lattes. The best one is the rose crème though.”

Holster notices the espresso machine, and the coffee order board, and the old fashioned bar with a long counter top and delicate barstools.

“I’ll take a rose crème,” Holster says, because the only other thing he was planning on doing with his night was hate-watching the back half of the fourth season of Battlestar Galactica.

The girl behind the counter smiles again, with the dimples, and starts the espresso machine. The drink she eventually hands him is frothy and pink, and on the saucer are two chocolate dusted pink roses made out of some form of sugar Holster doesn’t understand.

“So do you go to Samwell?” the girl asks, cleaning the espresso machine and straightening the jars of chocolates on the back wall.

“Yeah,” Holster says. “I’m a freshman.”

She freezes on her stepping stool – he thinks she’s maybe 5’3” – and then slowly turns to face him. Her eyes are wide behind her glasses, and she scans him in disbelief.

“You’re a freshman,” she says.

“I got a late start,” Holster admits, and then realises people typically do not interpret that statement as a “I got a late start because I was playing professional hockey and had been since the age of sixteen and I technically belong to the Seattle Schooners and will be moving there as soon as I graduate because I just deferred my draft contract” and instead interpret it as “something went horribly wrong and this boy is stupid.”

The girl is still staring at him in shock, though, so he thinks he might have time to explain himself.

“I was playing in Juniors for hockey,” he says. And no, he realises, that doesn’t make him sound smarter. “I got drafted into the NHL and deferred so that I could go to school.”

“Oh,” the girl says. “Hockey.”

“Not a fan?” Holster asks.

The girl shrugs. “I’ve never been to a game or anything.”

Before Holster knows what he’s saying, he’s suggesting she come to one of their games. She’s a freshman too, he learns, but a real one, not like him.

Their conversation is interrupted a few moments later by a panicked looking man running into the shop, shouting at the girl until she gives him a lot of dark chocolate, shouting at her when she tells him the price, and then just. Shouting.

Holster sees the girl’s face set, but he can’t tell if she’s upset like she’s gonna cry or upset like she’s going to jump the counter and punch the customer in the face.

“Hey man,” Holster says, standing up and leaning against the front counter with his arms crossed.

The angry customer – red in the face from his shouting – attempts to level Holster with a look, but his eye level is the same as Holster’s crossed arms, and while he lets his eyes move upwards to Holster’s face, the blood drains very visibly from his skin.

“Hey there,” Holster says. The man gulps. Holster turns to the girl. “What’s his total?”

“Twenty dollars and fifty-eight cents,” she says.

Holster plucks the man’s wallet out of his hands, takes out $25, then hands him his wallet and chocolate and steers him out the door. The girl is blinking at him in shock.

“I’m not allowed to tell people to calm the fuck down while I’m on the clock,” she says finally. “So thanks. But you took too much of his money.”

Holster shrugs and stuffs the change into the tip jar.

“I’m Adam, by the way,” Holster says, extending his hand across the counter.

She smiles and shakes his hand. “I’m Esther.”

Holster doesn’t think about Esther again for a while. Not until he sees her again, in fact, which happens to be two months later when his parents show up unannounced and make him go to worship with them at the synagogue he hasn’t even breathed towards since coming to Samwell. Something about spending his teenage years in Iowa choked all the religion out of him.

He sits as patiently as he can while they’re there, and is relieved when his parents say they’ll go out to brunch afterwards. Holster recommends Jerry’s because where else does one brunch in Samwell, and as they’re leaving the building, he collides with a small woman. The top of her head comes up to his sternum, and he’s fairly certain she’s a hobbit.

“Oh my god, Mom, are you okay?” a girl asks from the other side of the hobbit woman. Holster looks up in disbelief. It’s Esther.

From their nice clothes, it’s clear Esther and her family have also just been in the synagogue.

“Adam?” Esther asks in disbelief as her mother steps back from Holster’s chest and stares up at him.

“You are a very well built young man,” she informs him, her eyes wide. “Very well.”

“Mom,” Esther complains, her face turning a little pink.

She’s wearing makeup. Not a lot, but just enough eyeliner to make the green hues in her hazel eyes pop. Holster catches himself staring and then looks away.

Esther is the same height as her mother, he realises. She is a hobbit person.

“Can’t take him anywhere,” Holster’s dad booms, clapping him on the shoulder and holding out his hand for Esther’s mom to shake. “Son, I’ve told you! No checking people off the ice.”

“That’s a hockey thing, right?” Esther asks.

“Yeah,” Adam says.

“Wait do you two know each other?” Esther’s mom asks, her eyes going wide while she stares between her daughter and the imposing wall that is Holster’s chest. Holster wonders if she’s not looking higher because she’s afraid of hurting her neck looking up.

“Sort of,” Holster says. Esther nods in agreement.

“I was just saying to Esther she has to get out and make more friends,” Esther’s mother says, gripping Holster’s dad by the elbow. “Are you folks local?”

“Nah, we’re up in Buffalo,” Holster’s dad says. “You?”

“Rochester,” Esther’s mom replies.

Holster meets Esther’s eyes and finds the same slightly baffled and excessively steamrolled expression that he’s wearing on her face. He can’t say it’s a true surprise when both the Birkholtzes and the Shapiros end up in Jerry’s together, sharing a booth. Leah Shapiro and David Birkholtz own the conversation while Holster and Esther make dismayed faces at each other across the table and Holster’s mom and Esther’s dad look equally resigned to their fates as though this is a common occurrence for them.

As a means of escape, Holster offers to walk back to the dorms with Esther so that he doesn’t have to hear his parents encouraging him to date her, as he knows they will. The more gregarious halves of their parenting crews are deeply enthusiastic about this suggestion, and practically force them out the door.

“Your dad is…a lot,” Esther says while they walk across the river. Samwell in April is a beautiful time and Holster’s happy to be there rather than Iowa. He’s happy to be there over upstate New York as well, frankly. He hopes Seattle is going to be better.

“Yeah,” Holster agrees, taking off his tie and stuffing it, wrinkled into his pocket.

“So is the hockey season still going?” Esther asks.

“Just finals,” Holster says with a shrug. “We got knocked out first round of playoffs. I thought our captain was going to drown himself in the pond.”

Esther snorts. She doesn’t play any sports, he discovers. She doesn’t associate with anyone who could remotely be considered a jock, after a high school career of being teased for her bookishness and an overt fondness for sweets that had led to a rounder figure than most would consider socially acceptable.

“I’m going to make truffles,” she tells him as they walk into the dormitory building where they apparently both live.

“Chocolate, not mushroom, right?” Holster asks.

“Yes, Adam, I’m going to manufacture mushrooms in my basement, and then sell the truffles to restaurants and the truffle oils to suppliers, and everyone will be after my secret and I’ll never get a moment’s peace in my entire life,” she says, raising her eyebrows at him. “Of course chocolate.”

Holster feels himself blush this time, and is glad when she starts laughing.

“I steal the student kitchen on the third floor on Sunday mornings to test recipes if you don’t have anything better to do,” she says, and then she disappears up the stairs to whichever floor it is she lives on, and Holster wanders back to his own room, still feeling a little baffled and steamrolled.

He goes down on Sunday morning, and finds Esther in the kitchens making truffles. She’s covered in chocolate from her elbows to her wrists, and her worn out old apron is completely slathered. She’s wearing a Firefly t-shirt and in the space of time between him walking into the kitchen and Esther noticing him, he comes to the inescapable conclusion he has a little bit of a crush on her.

School will be out in a few weeks, and he just got dibs for real for the Haus, and he and Rans will be sharing the attic. He and Esther met by complete coincidence, and he’s struck by the fact he will probably never talk to her again, and it almost makes him sad. It’s not a real sadness, more like a regret for lost potential than anything else. But for that Sunday, he sits there, leaning against the counter while she makes truffles and feeds them to him every so often, and he thinks, “this is nice.”

Unbelievably, it isn’t the end.

Classes finish for the summer, he and Rans move all their collective shit into the attic and go out for best friend sundaes and then they road trip north. They spend a few days together at Niagara Falls, and then part ways. Holster has spent maybe a month in his childhood bedroom since he was sixteen, and it feels weird to be back there. It’s even weirder when his mom comes into his room without knocking and perches on the edge of his bed while he dicks around on his computer.

“So,” she says.

“So?” Holster echoes.

“How’s Esther?” she asks.

“I’m pretty sure she’s fine,” Holster says. “Why?”

“Why didn’t you bring her up to Niagara Falls with you and Justin?” his mom asks.

Holster stares at her for a minute, and is briefly distracted by the fact Sarah got their mom’s everything down to the last freckle and it’s kinda disturbing, and then he blinks. His mother thinks he and Esther are dating.

Well fuck.

“She was, uh, she had a thing,” Holster says. He is so, so fucked.

Well at least his parents aren’t on Facebook.

“Hmm,” his mom hums like she doesn’t believe him. “Well if she wants to visit this summer she’s more than welcome.”

Holster nods, thanks her, and then waits anxiously for her to leave. He feels like Ransom, and if this is what Ransom’s anxiety feels like even 30% of the time, he needs to figure out a better way to help.

Finally, after what seems like an eon of his mom standing in his doorway and staring at the old pinup posters of Gretzky and Bad Bob and the original cast of Beauty and the Beast, she leaves.

Holster dives for Facebook, and desperately searches Esther’s name. Her profile pic is about what he’d expect, since it’s a picture of her meeting Nathan Fillion, and he sends her a friend request immediately. To his relief, she accepts it within five minutes, and he opens a message chat.

He can be cool about this. He can be suave. He knows how to talk to girls, mostly – okay well he’s not Rans, but he does okay, sort of. Sometimes. And, well, generally he’s fucked.

Adam B: Hey so this is gonna sound weird but apparently my parents got the idea we were dating??

Esther S: …

Esther S: uh that is weird

Adam B: right?

Esther S: mine did too

Adam B: wait really?

Esther S: yup

Adam B: so how screwed are we?

Esther S: well we’re not since we’re not actually dating

Holster has to retreat from the computer for a moment to stop himself from replying with something crude. When he returns to the chat, he finds himself writing about how his parents have always been worried he’d end up married to hockey, and how they’d met in college and ended up married almost as soon as they graduated, and how they’re disappointed in the fact he’s more or less a frat boy. Esther returns that she’s got to deal with her parents being constantly worried she’ll never speak to anyone, and never have friends, and end up alone in a truffle shop.

And they hatch a plan.

Holster likes being partners in crime with Esther. She’s nerdier than any of his friends on the team, and when she comes to visit that summer, his freakishly tall blonde sisters don’t intimidate her like they do most mortals, and Esther even lets them decorate her. His sisters use the word “makeover” of course, but Esther says “decorate” and Holster thinks it’s a better description. They stay up late watching reruns of Buffy, and when Holster falls asleep on her, it’s not awkward in the morning because they’re friends.

They get back to Samwell, and go their separate ways, springing back together like mercury on occasions where their families might show up. They keep in contact though. Holster makes a point of inviting her to all their kegsters at the Haus, and steals her a piece of the frog Bitty’s pie because it’s magically delicious. Esther never comes to the kegsters because they are not her scene, and he understands that from an objective standpoint.

At least she doesn’t, until the first kegster after Thanksgiving, when she does.

Holster almost doesn’t recognise her when she walks into the Haus looking somewhat amused and also disgusted by her surroundings. She’s with a group of girls he thinks are from the soccer team, and one girl in particular seems to be Esther’s bridge to this world of frat parties. Holster is fairly certain she’s the one responsible for Esther’s hair being straightened and put up, and she’s got to be the one responsible for Esther wearing a dress and a lot of makeup. She looks pretty, but in a incongruous way, the way people look nice when they follow the latest fashion trends to a T even though those trends aren’t really the right ones for them personally. Like sure, they match everyone, so they look just fine, but anything unique about their appearance has been smothered by a few layers of the eyeshadow du jour and the cut of the dress is the one in all the magazines but it’s not the cut that’s best for their frame.

“You’re Kate, right?” Ransom asks, sidling up to the soccer girl who has her hand on Esther’s elbow like she’s both afraid she’ll run away and afraid something will happen to her if Kate is not watchful.

“Oluransi?” Kate replies, squinting like she’s trying to remember. Holster continues to stare, somewhat dumbfounded, at Esther.

“Yeah yeah,” Ransom agrees. “You dated Jack, right?”

Holster’s curiosity is now piqued. How in god’s name did one of Jack’s ex-girlfriends get Esther to go to a frat party.

“As much as anyone dates Jack Zimmermann,” Kate replies, rolling her eyes. “Anyway, this is my friend Esther from my business class. She’s never been to a party like this before. Are either of you trustworthy?”

Ransom is looking at Kate like he wants to know her better, in a “I want to understand how you managed to get Jack Zimmermann to stop breathing hockey enough to have sex with you” sort of way, and is not paying attention to what Kate is saying about Esther at all.

Esther, on the other hand, is looking at Holster like he might be convinced to save her.

“I’ll look out for her,” Holster offers. He wasn’t really looking to hook up that night anyway. At least, not in any active sort of way. Not in a “I have a target and a goal” sort of way, just in a “if it happens that’d be sweet” sort of way.

“Thanks,” Kate says, foisting Esther on him and then letting Ransom show her to the tub juice. Once they’re gone, Holster looks down at Esther.

“What on earth are you doing here?” he asks.

“Oh, that reminds me we should get a selfie for our parents,” she says, grabbing her phone and tugging him down so their faces will both fit in the frame.

Holster manages to smile obligingly and then returns to the question at hand.

“No but seriously,” he says. “Why are you at a frat party?”

He’s trying not to be hurt she apparently showed up when Kate invited her, but never when he’s invited her.

“Kate and I did a group project together and then we were talking about our weekend plans and I think she took pity on me or something,” Esther says. “Wouldn’t take no for an answer.”

She looks around the kegster room of the Haus, and alights on Bitty twerking with Shitty and Holster interprets the expression on her face as one of “what the fuck am I doing here?”

“You want a drink?” he asks.

“Oh dear god yes,” she replies, following him to the kitchen.

Holster plies both her and then himself with some liquor and tries to convince her to dance. It doesn’t work until they’re a few more drinks into the night, and then, inconveniently, his pants start getting a little tight. He hopes she doesn’t notice, but from the sort of evil gleam in her eye, she does.

“So which room is yours?” she asks, all casual, if a little drunkenly.

“It’s upstairs,” Holster says, feeling nervous about it. He’s brought…well, a lot of girls up to his room before, and never cared one way or the other what they thought of his living space because a physically awkward pubescence had led to a certain generosity and gratitude in bed as a way of compensating so usually it didn’t matter. But since he wasn’t going to be having sex with Esther, no matter what his groin was attempting to persuade him to do at that moment, he wouldn’t have any way of covering the fact he and Rans pretty much lived in squalor.

“Is it colder up there than it is down here?” Esther asks.

“Yeah,” Holster says. “It’s an attic in November.”

Esther nods, and then drags him towards the stairs. Holster catches Ransom’s eye by accident on their way up, and Rans throws him a mock salute, and then returns his attentions to Kate.

Esther doesn’t seem to judge the attic the way most thinking people would, and sits down on the bottom bunk fanning her red face.

“Why is it so cold up here and so warm down there?” Esther asks, kicking off her high heels and tucking her feet under Holster’s comforter.

“The heater doesn’t work so we just pack everyone in downstairs instead,” Holster says, grabbing one of the gallon jugs of water from the closet and opening it. He takes a healthy drink of it and passes it to Esther.

She giggles at his explanation, probably because she’s drunk not because he’s funny, and takes the water.

“I think you’re trying to make that a joke but I’m also pretty sure it’s true,” she says while he sits on the floor next to her knees. His bunkbed is too short for him to sit up on it without banging his head on the bottom of Ransom’s bunk.

He laughs and takes the water back when she hands it to him.

“It’s weird having you here,” he says without thinking about it.

“Why? Worried I’m gonna tell all your cool jock friends you occasionally play D&D?” Esther asks.

Holster doesn’t know how to articulate that it’s actually because he’s worried his “cool jock friends”, who are in reality the biggest dweebs on the fucking planet, are going to expose him as being some kind of shallow cad who would never think of a short, curvy, nerdy girl like Esther as anything more than one-off hook up material.

Which leads him to the bigger problem.

Holster likes Esther. And he doesn’t want her to think of him the way the others probably see him.

“Nah, they wouldn’t be surprised,” he says instead, leaning back against the bed. She peers down at him. “Mostly I’m worried one of them is gonna be a complete fuck up and offend the shit out of you and you’ll never talk to me again.”

Which is more than he meant to say, but it’s out now.

She leans over and pats him on the face. Despite the alcohol and the overheated atmosphere they’ve just left, her fingers are cold against his skin.

“I like this being taller than you thing,” she says, wrinkling her nose and looking down at him. He’s pretty sure if she keeps leaning over like that her boobs are going to fall out of her dress.

“I don’t, people aren’t supposed to be taller than me,” he says with a pretend pout.

“I’m not sitting on your floor to make you feel better,” she says. “Who knows what’s been on that.”

It’s out of his mouth before Holster really knows what he’s saying, and the part of his brain that isn’t a drunken idiot is trying to strangle the drunk one.

Because what he says is, “You could just sit on me,” and Esther’s face goes blank.

Finally she laughs, but it’s awkward, and the whole attic is awkward now, and he walks her back to her dorm a few minutes later and she doesn’t say anything and he doesn’t say anything and he knows he’s crossed a line but he’s not exactly sure where.

Things still aren’t better a week later when Rans announces their Winter Screw dates.

“You’re screwing me with Esther Shapiro? Bro!” Holster demands, panic rising in his chest.

“What the fuck, Holster, you guys hooked up last weekend,” Ransom says.

And what’s Holster supposed to say? That he and Esther sat in the attic together for an hour and then he walked her home and the closest they actually got to hooking up was him making a stupid suggestion and her laughing at him?

“And you chirped me for like 72 hours afterwards, remember?” Holster reminds him, because that had happened too. Rans had given him so much shit for hooking up with Kate’s pity-invite friend, without knowing any of the truth of the matter, and now Holster is so screwed.

“Oh fuck! Wasn’t she the chick with the rash shaped like Ellen Degeneres?” Shitty asks.

“No, I think she was the one with the eyepatch,” Jack says. “Right Holster?”

Why is it weird for me to be here? Esther had asked.

“Because my friends are fucking assholes,” is what Holster should’ve said.

But really, how bad can it get?

==Esther==

Esther: uh so Kate just told me she and my roommate conspired with Ransom/Justin/your roommate for Winter Screw?

Esther: is that actually a thing?

Me: it is. Rans just told me

Esther: do you want me to tell them to fuck off and that I’m not going?

Me: I’d rather go with you than anyone else they might try to set me up with. The girl they sent me with last year was

Me: It was bad, let’s just leave it there.

Esther: did she puke on you?

Me: on my bed actually.

Esther: that blows.

Esther: Fine. See you on Friday.

==

Holster wasn’t lying. He would rather go with Esther than anyone else, but he feels the need to protect her from his asshole friends, and doesn’t know how to tell them that.

He and Rans have a tussle over wardrobe choices, and it ends with Holster lobbing Ransom’s salmon shorts out the window and Ransom shrieking in despair, but Holster wins the rights to the purple tie that lives in their closet and the matching pocket square.

Bitty seems both delighted by the whole concept of Winter Screw and also like he might throw up from nerves considering the rugby boy they’ve set him up with. All their dates are converging on the Haus beforehand, even Bitty’s since Shitty’s helping him dress. At least, that was the official story, but seeing how Shitty looks well-groomed when they assemble downstairs makes it fairly clear Bitty was helping Shitty dress instead.

“Good choice,” Johnson says, patting Holster’s tie while his girlfriend helps him with his own pocket square.

“Thanks?” Holster says, because he’s never entirely sure the things Johnson says are a compliment.

Aside from Johnson’s girlfriend, Jack’s date shows up first. Camilla Collins, star of the tennis team, is intimidatingly hot, kinda like Jack, so Holster thinks he and Rans have done good work there. Camilla eyes Jack with an appraising look, and seems to find him adequate. Bitty’s date is next and Rugby Boy looks at Bitty like he wants to eat him up which makes Holster’s protective instincts flare up, but Bitty doesn’t even notice because he’s staring at Camilla. Holster understands. Even if he was fully gay rather than just bi, he’d still stare at Camilla.

Shitty doesn’t have a date, what with Lardo not being back from Kenya, so they’re just waiting on Esther and Kate.

They show up together, and Holster’s pretty sure his heart stops beating for a second.

The point of Winter Screw is to look easy and be easier, but Esther missed the memo and Holster has never been more grateful for her apparent lack of caring about conventions like that. Based on his musical theatre background, he’s pretty sure her dress would be best suited to the 1950s, like something that might be in Grease, but it looks amazing on her and suits her so well. Oddly enough, it’s the same purple as Holster’s tie, and Johnson winks at him when he notices this.

Their dates arrived, it’s time to head for the student centre and the dance. Despite Camilla’s intimidating hotness, everyone is looking at Esther instead. Holster is fairly certain it’s not because there’s more fabric to her dress than anyone else’s. It’s because she looks amazing.

“You look great,” Holster says as they walk into the student centre.

Esther scoffs. “Thanks,” she says, accepting Shitty’s flask of alcohol as he passes it around. Holster frowns at her but takes the flask.

“No, I mean it,” Holster insists once he’s passed the flask to Bitty. Esther raises her eyebrows at him.

“You don’t have to,” Esther says. “I get it. I get what kinds of girls you guys date, Adam. You don’t have to pretend to think of me as anything other than your friend.”

Holster doesn’t know how to respond to that, but she brightens artificially and drags him off to the dance floor. Unlike everyone except Bitty, they don’t go home together, and Holster spends the night of Winter Screw playing Mario Kart with Shitty.

He gets home to Buffalo for winter break and obligingly shows his mom the pictures of him and Esther from Winter Screw, and then goes and wallows in his room.

== Esther ==

Me: you did look really pretty at Winter Screw

Esther: please stop

Me: sorry

==

Holster isn’t entirely sure what he’s done, and so he doesn’t know how to stop exactly except by not talking to her. And so he doesn’t. Not for months.

Valentine’s Day 2014 – Sophomore Year

“Got plans?” Ransom asks, putting on cologne in front of their mirror and checking his jaw for blemishes. There are none, because Ransom is flawless and Holster hates him for it just a little.

“Does drinking alone count?” Holster asks, taking another sip of his beer.

Ransom gives him a disapproving look.

“Call up that Esther chick or something,” Ransom suggests, casually like it doesn’t make Holster’s insides burn. “Just find some way to get laid rather than moping around here. For me, please.”

“It wasn’t like that,” Holster snaps. Something in his tone makes Ransom stop preparing for his date, and instead turn to look at Holster. And then Holster finds himself spilling the whole story. Everything about meeting Esther, and his parents, and her parents, and the summer and what had actually happened at Winter Screw.

Ransom stares at him for a long time after he’s finished talking and then claps him on the shoulder.

“Holtzy, man, I love you, you know this, but you’re a fucking idiot,” Ransom says.

“Yeah, I know,” Holster says.

“She still works at the candy shop, right?” Ransom asks. Holster nods. Ransom nods back and then forces the bouquet of flowers he’d intended to give to his own date into Holster’s hands.

“I can’t take these,” he says. “You need them.”

“Bro, I’ma just tell her this entire story and I will get mad laid,” Ransom replies. “You need the flowers more than I do.”

Holster can’t argue with him there, and he heads off for the candy shop in Samwell’s centre. He doesn’t even know if she’s working tonight, he realises, but luck is with him and when he walks into the candy shop, she straightens up from behind the counter where she was refilling chocolate covered espresso beans. Her customer service smile dims when she sees him.

“Hey,” she says, because it is a very small shop and it would be weirder if she said nothing.

“Hey,” he replies, now feeling very stupid. “I, um, I brought you flowers.”

Her eyebrows lift over her glasses and he realises it’s genuine surprise. Like she thought he was walking into the candy shop where she works to buy chocolate for whoever the recipient of the flowers happened to be.

“Why?” she asks, taking them over the glass counter anyway.

“As an apology?” Holster says, because now he’s not sure either.

“Do you even know why you’re apologising?” she asks, setting the flowers behind the counter and opening a jar. She grabs a handful of something, puts it on the scale to weigh it out, and then hands them to Holster. He pops them in his mouth without looking, sort of on autopilot, and sputters in horror immediately because it was a handful of the Little Sour Hearts and he feels like his tongue is going to melt off.

“Not really,” he gasps, sure he’s making the absolute worst face he’s ever made.

“It was for pitying me,” she says, giving him a cold look while his tongue burns. “For trying to pretend I was just as pretty as Kate and Jane and Camilla. I know I’m not, okay? I get it. You don’t have to lie to me about it and then keep bringing it up especially since we’re just friends. Or I thought we were and then you stopped talking to me.”

Holster has a brief moment of wondering who Jane is but realises it has to be Johnson’s girlfriend. He thinks he remembers something about that. Her name’s Jane Deer or something. Fawn. Doe. He can’t remember right.

“I wasn’t pitying you!” Holster insists. The burning has moved to his throat now. “You looked pretty. You looked really pretty. And I’ve had a crush on you since the day you let me hang out while you made truffles so--”

He’s cut off by the sound of the espresso machine whirring to life. Esther is pink in the face and it’s spreading down her neck and shoulders. He feels like he’s fifteen again trying to get Jenny Simmons to go to homecoming with him by telling her he has a crush on her. He’s almost 23, is he really allowed to use the word “crush” anymore?

The espresso machine shuts off, but Esther is no less pink in the face while she pushes a frothy pink beverage onto the bar. Tentatively, Holster sits, unsure if he’s still in trouble. She’s put the little rose shaped candies on the saucer and Holster bites into one, letting it dissolve on his tongue and wash away some of the burning from the sour hearts.

“I just thought I should tell you,” he says, taking a sip of the rose crème. Esther’s blush brightens to a full red.

“You’re a dork,” she informs him.

“Can we be friends again?” Holster asks.

“Maybe,” she says, looking down at the counter top and wiping it with a cloth.

“Just maybe?” Holster asks, trying not to seem overly sad about it.

“I kinda have a crush on you too,” she says, still looking down.

Holster feels his insides light up. “Really?” he asks.

Her head snaps up and she glares at him. “You’re all--”

She doesn’t appear to have a word for what he is and instead flails her hands at him like she’s trying to define a nebulous concept.

“So maybe we could be more than friends?” Holster suggests.

Esther rolls her eyes and grabs her step stool. She uses it to lean across the bar and grab him by the sweatshirt strings. He likes kissing her. He likes it even when their glasses clack together, and even when they have to break apart because a customer has just walked in.

Unbelievably, it’s the man from Valentine’s Day the previous year, looking like he’s in as much of a tizzy as he was the year before. He seems to recognise both Holster and Esther, and instead of shrieking at her like a deranged eel, he very politely and quietly requests a mixed box of fancy chocolates for his husband, and leaves a five dollar tip.

Esther doesn’t appear to have registered that it’s the same man, because Holster has to point it out.

“That was the guy from last year,” he says.

Esther snorts, and then bursts out laughing, and then she leans across the counter to kiss him again.

[percethecurse]

all of them lol

Oh dear...1. Not yet2. Not yet3. What do you think (No)4. I don't have one. Like, I'm not exactly atheist, I was just never raised in a religious household so I never really developed strong thoughts/beliefs on it, ya know?5. I actually may end up changing it? I originally had it because it was a nickname my friend Travis gave me back when I met him, but it was based off of part of my birth name (which, as I've mentioned before, I don't use now). I might change it soon. But at the same time, it's kind of part of me? Like my best friend called me that for ages and also it sounds cool so I don't know if I'll change it or not? We'll see :)6. I was really bored one day and I had been kind of following certain blogs on here for ages anyway so I figured why not just like actually follow them lol7. Moudcloud, as I said earlier. Travis and Stephen have started calling me Ro recently, and the little girl who lives down the hall calls me Winnie (Rowan, Wan, Win, Winnie. It's less direct than Ro but hey man she's six cut her some slack). 8. Hellz yeah I like bubble baths who do you think I am9. I have not kissed in the rain, or at all10. Yeah! Back at like the beginning of the eighth grade I got purple tips, and towards the end of this school year I got it like, Michael-Clifford-Fire-Truck-Strawberry red. I'm gonna redo it over the summer though (and I'm open to color suggestions)11. Both I guess, but soup just because my grandma makes the best cheesy potato soup ever :)12. Between vegetables and meat, I don't have a preference... I like fruit tho13. Uh no I am too young for that (and honestly? I don't even know if I'll want it when I'm old enough)14, 15, 16, 17. No18. I mean probably I don't know though19. He's my main man it's Travis yo best bro20. I think like once??? I don't know man brown eyes don't get as much recognition21. Um obviously I may be a nerd who loves school but come on man sometimes we all need to chill 22. No but I've thought about it quite a bit... haven't been serious about it since like the seventh grade though so it's not as bad as it was23. Two nights ago. Got into thinking the Bad Things and started listening to sad relatable songs. Never a good place to be24. I've been semi-suicidal for years. What do you think?25. HA man I wish26. Long at the moment but I'm getting it cut short pretty soon. Going for a more gender-neutral vibe27. I usually notice a girl's eyes first and a guy's smile/laugh first. I don't know why it differs between genders??? I'm strange (insert "queer" joke here)28. Who doesn't I mean come on next question 29. Depends on the song playing (but usually, no)30. Here in my room as usual haha let's all laugh at Rowan for never going outside31. Yes actually! We did an archery unit in pe all through middle school and I did it a little in summer camp (gosh that was a while ago)32. School picture day at the beginning of the year (ew)33. Musicals are great and you can fight me on that34. Christmas is hella stressful yeah35. Are pumpkins fruit?... According to Google they are a fruit so pumpkin pie is my favorite kind of fruit pie? I don't typically like fruit pies all that much (or pie in general, Dean Winchester would be ashamed of me)... actually wAIT DOES LEMON MERINGUE COUNT IF SO THEN THAT IS MY FAVORITE FRUIT PIE36. Oh my goodness from the ages of 4 to 9 I had my heart set on being a florist. I also wanted to be a dragon tamer. I still want to be a dragon tamer37. I don't NOT believe in them, but they're more of a "I'll believe it when I see it" kind of thing38. Totally, it happens a lot39. Nope40. I used to have these hedgehog slippers that my babysitter/neighbor got me but one of the times we moved I lost them and my fragile child self was so distraught that I've never owned a pair of slippers since41. I own one, but I almost never wear it42. It changes? I don't usually own pajama sets so I'll have like a pair of pajama bottoms and a tank top or some old athletic shorts and a t-shirt43. I hope to someday, but tbh if I found the right person who didn't want to get married but still wanted to be with me, I'd probably be happy :)44. NO AND I CAN'T WHISTLE OR ROLL MY R'S EITHER SHUT UP LEAVE ME ALONE I DON'T EVEN CARE45. Never been in one as of yet but there's this one guy at school I've got my eye on and he is 👌 so hopefully my 0 will become a 1 soon 🤞46. Buy me Haribo Goldbears HA bet you toootally didn't see that coming (if you've seen my blog ever you knew I was gonna say that) Actually if you make me laugh I will most likely find you at least semi-attractive47. I could say the typical stuff about communication and trust here and I'm sure that stuff is true but like I don't know??? I've never been in a relationship the most action I've ever gotten is a high five??? Just respect each other man, that's my knowledge on the subject48. Oh boy now I have to talk about my type wow this should be good (I don't have a type) I don't prefer shy people or open people49. Oh... there isn't a 49 on this list... well uh... hi50. I don't care, as long as you don't act like a dick and use your religion to harass or discriminate then whatever my friend believe what you want51. (Why can't someone be both caring and non-restricting) I guess non-restricting?52. Don't care, I literally have no preference on most of these and also I've been typing for so long53. Don't have a preference necessarily but hey man piercings are h o t54. Same with tattoos 55. Don't really care, honestly I seem to work well with outgoing, social, party people who are the exact opposite of me, so I guess party typeOh wow this was longer than I thought I didn't expect someone to ask for all of them

I was moving over into my left lane because I was soon about to turn onto the highway.the light was green and I must admit I did see the truck but it was further back so I decided to try and make the left the light was turning yellow and I wanted to beat the light but my main focus shifted to my left rearview mirror because I wanted to make sure there weren't any cars in my blind spot..next thing you know I looked up and the truck was swerving out of control obviously he was trying to beat the yellow light as well and since he is driving a truck it is way much harder to complete an abrupt stop without gliding practically 100 yards..he smashed right into me and dragged my car along with his truck until I was facing northbound with him..my car is completely ruined and totaled..I know for a fact that if I would've had a passenger with me they would've died on impact, I am so blessed because i wasn't injured that bad beside a little torn tissue in my knee,the pain from my seatbelt, minor scratches,bruised lips, and the small cuts from small glass and powder from the air bag, I did however immediately jumped out of the car cause I didn't want to get blown up or anything...anyways the police came..come to find out the truck driver didn't have proof of insurance with him..and we both got a ticket..mines was failure to yield and his was failure to slow down at yellow light so we both were at fault that was my first car and I only had it for a month and I have full coverage..now the big question is once I buy another car will my insurance company let me stay with them?..because I really like them and they are loyal to their words and customers..I also realize that I caused them to lose alot of money compared to how much I paid...""

Is medical insurance enough if you have a catastrophic health problem?

Woolhandler and her colleagues surveyed a random sample of 2,314 people who filed for bankruptcy in early 2007, looked at their court records, and then interviewed more than 1,000 of them. Health.com: Expert advice on getting health insurance and affordable care for chronic pain They concluded that 62.1 percent of the bankruptcies were medically related because the individuals either had more than $5,000 (or 10 percent of their pretax income) in medical bills, mortgaged their home to pay for medical bills, or lost significant income due to an illness. On average, medically bankrupt families had $17,943 in out-of-pocket expenses, including $26,971 for those who lacked insurance and $17,749 who had insurance at some point. Overall, three-quarters of the people with a medically-related bankruptcy had health insurance, they say. That was actually the predominant problem in patients in our study -- 78 percent of them had health insurance, but many of them were bankrupted anyway because there were gaps in their coverage like co-payments and deductibles and uncovered services, says Woolhandler. Other people had private insurance but got so sick that they lost their job and lost their insurance.""

Low-cost health insurance company?

I have been trying to do research on the state of health insurance in the US and am not getting much informative stuff. What is stopping a private, non- or for-profit company setting up a lower-premium health insurance company? these are the possible problems i have come up with so far: - the insurance claims will far exhaust the float (is this true?) - the demand will be overwhelming (but this shouldn't be too bad considering the insurance business is not heavy on capital expenditures?) - it would be difficult to cover the high costs of drugs and specialist medical costs with lower premiums - getting hands on enough and reliable data in order to calculate proper costs, probabilities of claims against a potential pool of funds, etc. possible solutions would of course begin with restricting the pool of people granted insurance (restrict by probability of claiming insurance) until more data can be gathered to offer insurance to less healthy candidates.""

Can I sue my Auto Insurance Company?

In 2005, as part of our divorce agreement, my ex and I decided to keep the same auto insurance but under separate policies. We had been with this company for years. My policy was on auto pay meaning that the payments were taken directly from my account. He walked in to pay his. About 6 months after the divorce, I was pulled over for a routine traffic stop and was told I was driving an uninsured vehicle. Without insurance, my registration was also invalid. Both tickets totaled 1K. My car was taken into impound. I checked and found the officer was correct. On good terms with my ex, I told him what happened. He said for the past 6 months, each time he went in to make a payment, the girl HIS was already paid. Realizing what had happened. They were applying my payments to his automobile. I was furious. I notified the agent who initially did not want to accept blame, but since the payments were automatic and my account number was on each payment they took, they were responsible. The error was compounded by the fact that the cancellation notice went to HIS address (how dumb was that!) So I had no way of knowing that I was cancelled. I was without a car for 2 weeks and lost my job. After much haggling and many sleepless nights of wondering what to do without a job or a car, the insurance company finally admitted blame, paid the impound fees of $1,250.00. The agent also said they would handle the 2 tickets totaling 1K. FAST FORWARD TO 2010 in my state, the county did a scofflaw sweep and I was summoned to court with over 5 thousand other delinquent drivers to address unpaid tickets. The order was come to court by April 30th or be arrested. Realizing this had to be a mistake, but fearful of the law, I stood in line for over 5 hours in blazing heat, then sat in court another 5 hours waiting for my day in court. I was immediately threatened with arrest because the 2 tickets were not paid. Up to that moment, I had no idea the insurance company had not paid the 2 tickets. This time, not only was my insurance and registration cancelled, my license was suspended due to the age of the infraction (5 years). In front of the judge, I called the agents' office only to be told by the secretary that they had no intention to pay the ticket. Paying to get the car out of impound was enough. When the judge heard this she was shocked and let me off with a promise to pay in 5 days. She made me promise not to drive. With no way to get home but drive, I took a chance, and was pulled over. The officer informed me that due to the vast number of outstanding cases, tags bearing our county name would be targeted for a while (talk about a police state!). I showed him my documents from the court and headed home. This is a nightmare. Would I have a case if I filed suit against my insurance company for failing in their fiduciary responsibility to a 16 year client in good standing? By the way this company is one of the largest in the country.""

I have insurance for a car I had for 6 days. The insurance co. says it's a total loss. They gave me a value?

Audatex is not kelly blue book they look at craigslist & not the dealer. Craigslist sometimes has cars where a mechanic might not catch it but is damaged. The price I paid is higher due to getting sick & credit went down so I had to go to a local dealer with higher interest. They want the insurance check plus $1700.00 & interest. So I will pay for this thing for over 1 1/2 years. I had it 6 days when some crazy driver almost hit me I turned & hit a wall. The insurance company says I loose my good driver discount. Since I will have to wait to pay off this car I can cancel my insurance once the dealer gets the check. Is there any California law that would say if this happens I would be able to pay off the car. It's worth more as a loss then to try to fix it. Please help. Thank You.

What type of lawyer do I need to sue my insurance company to fix my car after a car/deer accident? no injuries?

My insurance company wants to use reconditioned parts, and they are pressuring us to accept a check made out to us and the finance company. Not enough to pay it off or fix it. My vehicle is a loaded Suzuki Grand Vitara with all kinds of electronic stuff. Which were mostly scattered across the road after the deer committed suicide. They (the insurance company) had it towed to my home after the accident because there were no dealers in the area and my home was about 100 miles closer than Dallas. Now they are saying we have to pay to have it towed the 100 miles to the nearest dealer, or use someone local. They are also saying that we contacted the towing company and they are the ones who arranged the tow. There is no one local (car repair shop) who can work on it and get it right. I am afraid if we use someone local it won't be fixed right. The estimate they gave us has parts coming from a salvage and reconditioned parts dealers. I need to find a lawyer who can make them fix it right. If it can't be fixed right then I need them to total it. I have looked in the yellow pages and all of the accident attorneys want injuries. What kind of attorney do I need for just auto damage? I have never sued anyone before. HELP!!!""
