“This is your plan?” Flint sneers, looking at Silver like he’d expected no better. “Hiding below decks like a rat?” “Now Captain, that’s unkind,” Silver pouts, trying to hide his hurt behind teasing reproach. All day he has tried to match Flint, to fight alongside him though he is ill-suited to it, and it has earned him nothing but disdain. Now it’s time to do things his way for a while. “Like a stowaway, at least.” After they have taken the warship and been cast out of the crew, Flint and Silver are forced to contend with each other and the nature of their relationship.

Three's Family by darkbluedark Harry Potter | James Potter/Lily Evans | 19k | Teen & Up
It’s May 1979 and the Order has just apprehended a pair of mysterious wizards who look remarkably like a Potter and a Malfoy. Naturally, James Potter and Sirius Black are called in to identify the strangely familiar strangers and determine their backgrounds and loyalties. (This would be a lot easier if their captives weren’t convinced everyone they talk to is dead. It would also be easier if they didn’t spend half their bloody time bickering.)
The Bolthole by aideomai and Tepre/@tepre Harry Potter | Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy | 54k | Explicit
Harry is a hoarder, Draco is grief-stricken, and both are capable human adults who can definitely spend a month in a cottage in the Cotswolds together without ever talking about the time they slept together in eighth year. Yeah, no, totally.

20. Part 3
Tumblr media
I chuckled to myself, Sofia’ words have her wanting to beat a bitch. I would like to see it, maybe that’s the pettiness inside me but I’m sure my baby can fight. She all uptight and moody now, oh well. I can fuck that out of her later, let her take the stands of being this way, I don’t mind it. She out here trying to be mad as shit, she thinks I had sex with her. I mean if Adriana stayed in the school, maybe so but I didn’t and that’s the annoying part “you in the dog house?” Myles said as he sat next to me, he passed me a glass of whiskey “I don’t know why either, I did nothing but greet an old school friend. I think Sofia just wanted an arguement, let her be. I always do, she will get over it and then we can have some sex” Myles laughed “got it all planned out, you know her well don’t you” Nodding my head “Adriana’ boyfriend” looking over at Myles “I don’t think we need to deal with him though Cassius, leave him be” nodding my head “Sofia ain’t wrong, he is like the dollar tree version of me but he ain’t me, I won’t attempt to do anything. I will go as I would” Adriana’ boyfriend is not the type of man she needs to be with, Harlem niggas for you, I know of him. I just feel like I am seeing everyone now, everyone that I have met before through doing bad shit are coming out. Catching Sofia look at me and then pulled a face as she looked away, she is a child. She calls me childish, look at that. She’s a school friend and this is the hassle I get, I might as well have had sex now.
Ivy smiled at me as she stood staring down at me “I’ll go” Myles quickly left me with this bitch “can I sit?” She asked, I nodded my head. Not like I want her to be near me, she is a snake “I am sorry about before” Nodding my head, what else can I say or do, I don’t like her “I was hormonal, I just want you to look after my friend. She is very sensitive, she wants a good and quiet life. Just look after her” I heard her but I am really not paying attention, I am staring elsewhere “Cassius” feeling a hand on my thigh, my head snapped in her direction “huh” looking down at her hand, it’s way too far up my thigh “yeah I heard” shifting off of the couch a little “if you didn’t love my friend would you cheat on her?” Is Ivy drunk “are you sure there is water in that?” I pointed out, grabbing the water bottle from her and sniffed inside. Ivy laughed in my face “you pregnant?” I said confused, this is vodka “are you being real right now? And no I wouldn’t cheat on Sofia, not with you anyways if that is what you want to say” Placing the bottle down on the table in front “you need to sober up, you killing your baby” getting up from the couch “I do like you so much” this is my que to run, walking around the table. I don’t like anyone, and I certainly don’t like a snake like Ivy.
I am sticking by Sofia, even though she has got her back to me. I don’t get it, doesn’t anyone see Ivy is drunk, don’t they care. It’s like only I can see the fact she is drunk and pregnant, everyone is doing their own thing and here is me, I am a caring person “yo!” I shouted, waving Lloyd over, he needs to deal with his woman “yeah” he busy checking the women out in this bitch “Ivy, she drunk with your child in there. How about you pay some attention to her” Lloyd stared at me dumbfounded and then at Ivy, he ran off towards her. That’s not on me now, I did my deed. Looking ahead of me, Sofia refuses to even accept my existence near her. Pressing myself against her, making sure the curve her butt just fits right onto my crotch. She is really out here ignoring me, she ain’t being shit at all right now. Lowering my head to Sofia “you really being like this?” I said in her ear, she moved back against me “like what?” Placing my arms around her neck “not giving me attention, it’s not nice. You know you the only girl I want” Sofia is a straight brat “am I?” Since being with Sofia all I do is roll my eyes “I fuck you like I do, those words you are saying you won’t be saying later” I meant every word of that, Sofia gripped behind her at my tee “fuck me now” Sofia’ ass trying to be bold “don’t try that shit with me right now” Sofia gyrating against me “fuck you Lloyd! You piece of shit” the screams could be heard over the music, looking over at Lloyd and Ivy. Seeing the anger in Lloyd’ eyes, it’s like he would have done some stupid shit so I quickly moved over to them “hit me!!” Ivy proked but I got in Lloyd’s eye-view “let’s go” moving him away from the situation.
Sofia is too much of a good friend, she came out here with her to calm her down and here I am with my girl. I like to be near her “I am so angry he did that, like he was cheating on you? And then he is openly flirting, why didn’t you tell anyone” this ain’t none of my business, I’m just going to smoke this and mind my business because this ain’t me “tell you, then you can reap the shit and be like it’s your fault!” She shouting at my girl, she better quit “just wait here, Cassius I’ll be back. We can go now” Sofia said, why do I need to stand here. I was going to ask why but I stayed quiet, best way to do. Locking my phone and looked up at Sofia walking away, I am not happy to be stood here with the snake. Sighing out rubbing my chin “earlier, I wasn’t saying about us cheating together, I mean I would never say no” I can’t even deal with this bitch, looking away from her and at the entrance, I had to double take seeing some niggas go in, they went in the club but rushed the doorman, walking by Ivy to check on the doorman cause I can’t see him, he went on his walkie talkie “wait there!” I pointed at Ivy, my girl is in this place. Pushing by people, I can see the group of guys just rushing the floor and then I see Sofia’ grey top. I don’t like the look of this, looking up at VIP and Kyle is looking at the same shit as me, this is why I need to get out of this place. Kyle moved away from VIP and I also pushed my way, them niggas are right behind my girl. I am too far away, I can’t let anything happened to her again, my heart is in my mouth right now. I feel like I am getting pushed back, I am dying right now I can’t let anyone hurt her “Sofia!!!” I shouted like the music isn’t drowning my voice out, Kyle finally reached Sofia and I just sighed out.
“Cassius!? I told you to wait with Ivy” Shaking my head “we going now, come” I want to just go, I don’t want to be here. Sofia doesn’t need to know anyone was going to get at her, following Kyle sighing out. I was so scared, staring at the niggas that just pretended they was clubbing. Grabbing Sofia’ face and pressing a kiss to her lips “I love you” I love her too much, she means the world to me “let’s go” hugging Sofia close, I was so scared. So very scared, walking slowly holding Sofia. Kyle is sweating, this is not a good situation but we need to remain normal, we need to just get out of here “love you so much” I said again, this means too much to me, she could have got hurt “get your bag” I’m so scared like they know, they know about Sofia, they are looking at her and I have never felt so scared to lose someone and it’s happening again like the break in, I need to go quick “I am” she is saying that but taking her damn time with walking.
I just want to go, I don’t care about Lloyd or anyone, I wish she would hurry up with her goodbyes “just go back to your hotel, do what you need to do, we ain’t going to react. Shit goes to plan, you leave, we leave. We done” Kyle said to me “they about to get their own surprise, and we know that so be good” taking in a deep breath “it was nice meeting you Amira, I am sure we will see more of each other” I laughed “it’s good to see the man in Kyle’ life that takes his time” Amira is funny “well here I am and you too Isabella, be easy” Mia ran into me “be safe out there!! I cannot wait to see you both in Atlanta, magic city here we come” hugging Mia back “you free to come, but once we have the house” Dapping Mitch “Sofia, come” she needs to not waste her time with Ivy, we have to go “what?” pulling her along “we have to go, bye” Sofia is just so stupid at times, opening the door to the Range Rover “come, inside” navigating her inside “is this the SUV?” she said as she got inside “yes it is, but it’s just a Range Rover instead” getting inside the car, dapping the driver which is one of my people “oh, it’s different” I called up, and I rather ride in this car. It’s bulletproof, so we shall see how this goes “had a good night Cass?” is he stupid “what?” I said “he knows you?” Sofia asked “I mean when you book these things you have to give a name, you know. But I did yes driver” he needs to shut his mouth.
Sofia fell asleep, she fell asleep because we have taken the long way. I didn’t want anyone knowing where we at “appreciate it, you know. Driving us and also wearing a suit” he didn’t have too but I didn’t want Sofia thinking anything “it’s ok, long night for us. Seems like they coming at all ends, they really want to get to you but we got you. I bet you glad she fell asleep” I laughed out “yeah, she then asks less questions but then that means no sex. I was hoping for that but I think I am too stressed for all that. It’s stressing me out because I care, I ain’t been able to have sex because of this shit. Freedom, it’s just there. I told Lamar, if he needs advice I am around so y’all good. I am only giving advice, nothing more” I am out the game. I ain’t doing none of that shit anymore “good for you, exit when you made that money, I like your mind” he likes my mind but it’s too stressful being me.

THIAM FIC PART 2
I finally figured out how to work from my pc! Since some of you liked my previously Thiam fic and since I already wanted to write a part 2, here we are, with some more Thiam angst and some Scolia cuteness. 
Words:2237
The tree house was a cube of six and a half feet on each side, so low that Liam could not stand up straight. He liked that place: it had an opening in which to slip and a window on the opposite wall. As a child he had placed an old stool, on which he put the cores of candle that he stole from his mother; he needed them to sneak out at night and enjoy the solitude. Even as a child, even before the Devenford Prep disaster and his transformation, Liam was a particular child. He never needed the tree house again, after his transformation and the first, terrible nights, but now it was different: his room’s walls seemed to suffocate him and he needed some fresh air, even if, in California, there was no fresh air, in February, just warm breaths of wind. Why does he needed to choose what to do with his life in February? And why he can’t be with his friends after all the time he spent with them? He needed to run away. He jumped down from the tree and stepped over the fence that divided the courtyard from the road. He had painted it a long time ago with his father, and already at the time, the gate creaked loudly.
Beacon Hills wasn’t a pretty place, but it was perfect for someone who doesn’t want to be noticed when he ran away from home at night for a supernatural run. No one went home late during the week, and anyone approaching the forest knew about the existence of werewolves and other such creatures, so that night, everything went smoothly. Liam saw no living soul on his way and went into the woods with his yellow eyes and fangs pressing on his fleshy bottom lip. If his mother saw him like that, she would have died of a heart attack, he knew. Liam had sometimes saw himself, in the reflection of shop windows or in some, sporadic mirror: it was not a good sight. After a long time, however, he had come to terms with his being and the need to hide began to get on his nerves: almost all of Beacon Hills knew of supernatural creatures. Except for his parents, of course, or they wouldn’t allow him to leave the house ever again, werewolf or not.
Liam felt himself observed, and turned, just to make sure no one was following him. Monroe's followers were no longer around, but there could be other fanatics ready to shoot him. He sniffed the air, for safety, motionless, with his back against a tree. There were no smells other than those of the forest, and no suspicious noises. Probably, by pretending to be a normal boy, he had begun to behave like one, scared by the night and by the woods sounds. After some time he cannot help himself and he turned back again. There was clearly something following him, but it could have been a wild animal, and as long as he did not have the rabies, he would not have to worry. He mentally reproached himself for his foolish behavior, but ran closer to the road, frightened by the possibility that whatever might follow him could take him into the woods, alone and impossible to save. If he had howled, so close to the road, some of his friends would have heard it before Lydia announced his death with one of her screams.
Liam abruptly stopped his run when he saw a big, surely not normal, black wolf, looking at him straight in the eyes. At first, he didn’t recognized Theo, but when he came closer, it was obvious it was he: he even had the same eye color. He reached out a hand slowly, hoping that the friend would let the space between his straight and pointed ears touched.
"Can I know what you are doing around in the middle of the night? Should not you sleep?" Liam asked, even though he knew that he would not be able to answer him. Finally, his fingertips reached the soft, thin coat of the wolf, who allowed him to caress his head for a few moments, before biting the boy's pale wrist playfully. "Cantankerous as usual, I see." Liam commented, throwing his arm down his side. It was a strange feeling, he could feel his humanity still intact, despite the yellow eyes, yet he felt perfectly at ease, crouched there, together with a wolf who could not answer, as if he were made for that life, as if the woods called him.
Theo, however, for a few moments would have liked to be able to leave aside his own humanity, let Liam caress his back and neck without having to regret it the next day. He would have liked that Liam could transform himself, that he would finally become an Alpha, that finally he was able to fully understand his own strength. In short, he would have liked many things to happen, but none would have been realized, so he stood up on all four legs, a clear sign that even Liam would have to get back on his feet.
"Do you want to follow me in my night run?" Liam asked, going over the wolf. He was certain that Theo would not attack him. Liam had been the first to allow himself to turn his back on what had once been their enemy: it had seemed a great sign of trust, and Theo seemed to have caught it.
With a small smile, Liam started to run again, deeper in the wood, this time, because with Theo he felt like he was invincible. They were a great team, like Sherlock and Watson, but Liam can’t figure out who should have been Sherlock and who should have called himself Watson.
Liam stopped, exhausted, and sat on the dry topsoil, his back against a tree. Theo felt sorry for Liam: he wasn’t tired, not even a bit. It was as if his friend was stopping himself to fit in someone else’s canons, and the letter he received from Pomona didn’t seemed to help him. In any case, that Theo was sorry or not, he should have left. Getting away from Beacon Hills would do him good, allowing him to grow up and make a normal life. Then, maybe, he would even find his ex-girlfriend, that idiot, at school. If he did not remember badly, before becoming a wolf, he was good at some sport, so a scholarship was almost assured now. Or it was Scott’s ex, the lacrosse player? It didn’t mattered, anyway. He hated both. And he even had to kiss Hayden to make one of his plans worked! Looking back at it, it was unbelievable to him how high school girls could be silly. Because of a kiss, both Hayden and Tracy believed him and they lowered their guard. If Theo had learned something from the terrible person he had been, it was always keeping his watch high and thinking the worst about people. Only with Liam he could not do it. He had tried several times, but the boy had always shown him to deserve his trust and respect. He was starting to be nicer even with Lydia, but perhaps he was only attracted by her immense power and the current aura of despair and self-pity that surrounded her. She was also a promising mind who had decided to stay in Beacon Hills against the wishes of her parents, a mind so promising to be willing to lie to the majority of people she loved just to stay in that hell she called home. Someday, that place would have killed her. And it would have happened to Liam too, if he had not hurried to decide to accept the place in Pomona. Everyone in that city seemed to be ready to give up something for the one they loved, like Mason who wanted to go to a worst college than the ones that offered a place for him to stay with his boyfriend.
As he tried to catch his breath, Liam watched Theo in his wolf form, as if he wanted to impress that moment in his mind. If he really had to leave for college, he wanted to remember every single reason why he should not have done it.
It was not usual to see Theo in his animal form; he always said he felt more vulnerable, like that. Liam believed, instead, that he preferred his human form only because in that way he could respond with sarcastic remarks to anyone who surrounded him.
It was more than a week that he did not see him and he really began to miss him a lot. He believed that, after that afternoon spent together in the suburbs, the need to see him and stand next to him would have faded for a while, but it seemed only to be increased, leaving a sense of terrible nostalgia for the moments they had spent together in the last year.
Theo also studied Liam. He was by far the nicest guy in town, not just in Beacon Hills High School. His brown hair, blue eyes, that spontaneous smile that lit up his still so childish face. He was changing, Theo had to admit it. The jaw began to be more squared and the cheeks more dug, a sign that the juvenile chubbiness would soon abandon the boy. He had also become more muscular, in the last period, as if he were training more consistently, pushing himself to the limit. In the dim light, Theo noticed that he also had deep dark circles. He must have slept too little recently. The black t-shirt and sweatpants he had decided to wear were worn, with holes in several places, like it was his in-the-woods running suit.
Theo would have sat all night watching him, but a noise he could not immediately define made him raise his ears. Liam must have heard it too. Even in the form of a wolf, Theo raised his eyes to the sky: he had imposed to himself only one task, and that was to keep safe that walking mess next to him, and the danger reached them there, in the woods. He had suffered for weeks, he had decided to stay away even when the only thing he wanted was to waste his time with him, to keep him away from any risk, and now how those hunters dared to approach them so, in the only moment of peace that Theo has allowed himself to have? He ran to the danger with a growl, hoping Liam had the good sense to follow him. The ideal would be for someone to escort him home, but there was no one else with them, and Theo preferred to have his friend in his field of view, rather than put him at risk. Moreover, in the various battles they had fought together, they had always been a great couple, certainly the best. Scott and Malia did not have the same chemistry, they could not think like a single person. Liam also thought it that way, or at least, with his terms. Their friendship reminded him of that of the Greek warriors in ancient poems, linked to their companions by a bond that some called almost supernatural. Much of their skill as warriors was due to the support of their companion, and if alone they were only good fighters, they were invincible together. And it was not good, because soon or later Liam would have to leave Theo's side and live a life of his own, even if he was nauseated at the thought.
They reached the source of the noise, and Liam almost fainted at the sight of that wolf so mammoth. He had never seen anything like it, not even Derek had evolved that way. In front of them a black beast, so similar to the beast of Gévaudan, who had taken possession of his best friend, was chasing a coyote. After the initial moment of shock, Liam noticed that what was clearly supposed to be another werewolf was much smaller, compared to Sebastien Valet, and that somehow, underneath that dark skin and furry hair, its features were still partly visible. It looked like a half-completed transformation, and not the half that they all shared when their mind was still human, but they needed a different force but  a half that tasted like failure. The first thing Theo noticed, however, was that the coyote that that werewolf was chasing was Malia. He had known her in her wolf form first and could hardly forget it. A wave of joy crossed his body: if that wolf wanted to do the dirty work for him and get rid of her, better for him. But that werewolf did not seem at all intent to hurt her, their chasing and letting go seemed more like a game than something dangerous. Liam was the first to recognize that family face so tormented.
"Scott?" Liam asked, amazed. The werewolf turned, and the monstrous expression on what was impossible to decide whether to call face or muzzle disappeared. Theo, in a moment of lucidity, was sad for him. His work was about to be judged by the one who had once treated like a son and, suddenly, had decided to betray
