okay more on jackson’s senior center based off this post:

- it started as just miss shirley and her best friend darla wanting to live together and asking maria if she could maybe find a house for them to settle in together instead of living apart

- before this, mama shirley and darla would have to walk five houses each way to see each other for afternoon tea, which just won’t do. mama shirley is 92 and darla is 90 now, and both of them are too old to be have to walking that much everyday, mama shirley tells maria. she quickly and vehemently agrees

- maria has the idea of fixing a house up for jackson’s senior citizens to live in if they’d like to. it takes a lot of unnecessary convincing to get the council to dedicate one of jackson’s best houses to a maximum of five people, but maria gets it done. they pick one of the few houses that are placed in the farther back part of jackson, near the farm and the daycare center, so that it can be far-reaching from the entrance of jackson

- the first people to movie in are shirley and darla, who share a room on the second floor (thanks to tommy replacing the stairs in the house with a reliable ramp with a wall-attached handlebar)

- gary moves in not long after he breaks his left hip while herding the goats. he likes that the house is designed to be wheel-chair access and far away from most people in town. he also likes it because he can be close to darla, who he has feelings for, but nobody knows about that except for tommy and joel

- mr. wilson moves in on maria’s insistence that he’ll get hurt if he continues to live alone and try to do everything himself. his name is harold, but he insists that anyone younger than him calls him mr. wilson on account of maintaining a respectful distance. he’s a grumpy, gruff old asshole that reminds joel more of bill than bill himself, but he’s also known to do anything and everything maria tells him with only a small amount of grumbling. somehow, she convinces him to move in after he accidentally sets his kitchen on fire trying to make himself a pocketknife (which?????? maria still doesn’t have an answer for????? why harold was trying to do that????)

- last but not least is sandra dee, jackson’s oldest and most enigmatic member. nobody really knows where she came from or what her story is: she’s the only one of jackson’s seniors that managed to get to town on her own, arriving to town at 94 about a year after its founding with nothing but a backpack and three handguns. she clamed to be sandra, but they’re not entirely sure if sandra dee is her real name. she hums songs from musicals all the time and has expressed that grease was always her favorite. at least once a month she requests to go hunting with patrol and gets mad when maria tells her no

- senior center tea: shirley and darla have longstanding beef with sandra dee because she always cheats at cards during game night, shirley knows about gary being sweet on darla but is lowkey jealous about it because SHE is sweet on darla, and everyone thinks mr. wilson has a thing for maria but he actually told her in confidence last month that he is actually sweet on gary. mama shirley and mr. wilson can’t STAND each other

- tommy calls the seniors the jackson five. all of them call him thomas. he and joel bring them all basic living supplies at least once a week, but are known to be around there pretty often

tsym for anyone having interest in this pls feel free to add anything u want!!

tagging :))) @clickergossip @nerdieforpedro @mrsmando @callmekittenandyourmajesty @steeb-stn (ty for the idea of putting it next to the daycare!) @thatoneobsessedlinguist-writes

#maria finding out from gary that hes sweet on darla knowing shirley is sweet on darla and harold is sweet on gary: oh FUCK #idk where this is coming from but theyre all so vivid in my mind like #theyd have the best breakfastes over there at the jackson five home #dinas older sister talia works as their main caretaker #shes the only person is jackson all five of them agree is a good egg #she loves them but they drive her nuts #NO gary you cannot bring the stray cats in to sleep in bed with you. because theyre dirty!!!! im not arguing with you about this again!!!!#no mr. wilson miss maria is not coming by today. i don’t know exactly why the council is busy. no i cannot take a letter over there #darla. shirley. are you guys high????? did you steal my weed tea again????????#what do you MEAN you made your own????#its just a whole sitcom #talia and the gang #the tipsy bison #the jackson five #the name makes tagging so convenient #jackson seniors #jackson senior center #maria miller #tommy miller #joel miller

WOLFSTAR AU.

Summary- Remus Lupin is a Mafia hit man who wants out. His last job is to eliminate the Black family heir.

(word count unknown)

(very short though, promise!)

~~~~~~🐺~~~~~~⭐~~~~~~

Remus works for the notorious Mafia boss Grayback. He wants out, but to do so he needs to finish one last job.

Kill the Heir to a rival family, The Blacks.

He shows up to the Gala looking for a clean cut man trying to prove himself to his family. Someone sophisticated, someone who will have his own goons protecting him.

He hears the voice of a nearby man, lanky and tall, covered in tattoos, seemingly uncomfortable in the suit he was wearing.

"of course Mr. Black."

"Thank you Crouch, be quick."

Remus eyed the man at the table in front of him. He's younger than Remus assumed he would be. Short curls falling into his cold observing eyes, framing his sharp features. He looked exactly like the son of someone dangerous, he had the glint of venom in his stare. At first glance he wasn't intimidating, beautiful and pretentious, but not intimidating. A predator all the same though.

He had one man sitting next to him, not a threat, some old codger, probably a family friend he was forced to suck up to. Another man standing behind him leaning against a pillar, casually drinking a glass of wine and scanning the room.

Remus would have to wait for an opening, perhaps when Black went to the bathroom....otherwise he'd have to find a way to distract or...take care of the guards discreetly.

A silver, slinky dress sunk into the chair next to Remus.

"Ugh, he looks so snooty." The person heaved a long pointed breath, blowing hair from their face. The long black strand flitted hopelessly into the air and back down in the exact same spot.

Remus looked at him wide eyed and confused. "Excuse me?" Honestly, Remus couldn't care less who this person was. He would rather take them behind a pillar and shove his tongue in their mouth. Remus noticed one strap of the dress was slightly off shoulder, draped over a slender collar bone, he felt his mouth water. His fingers twitched with the desire to reach over and fix it.

The angel nodded towards the Black Heir.

"him," He attempted to smooth the dress, crossing his long legs. "He looks exactly like his father when he makes that face," A server passed by offering champagne, he took one gratefully. Remus watched as he slowly sipped the bubbly drink still eyeing the heir. He scoffed and turned his eyes to Remus.

Whoever he was he knew the Black family. Maybe he could use this to his advantage, but it was hard to think of much when two piercing eyes of an angel were sizing you up.

"You're drooling." He took another sip of champagne. An amused smile quirked the corner of his dark wine stained mouth. Remus wasn't supposed to drink on the job but...god, did he want just a taste of those lips.

Remus smiled back, leaning back in his chair attempting to act unbothered. The eyes slowly raked Remus' body, languid and thorough.

"Out of mind numbing boredom, naturally." He drawled, rolling his eyes playfully. He could flirt and still keep an eye on the target. Multitask, he was a damn hit man, if he couldn't do that he should have died a long time ago.

"hmmm," the stranger nodded in agreement. "What are you doing here?" He asked curiously. "You don't...fit. it's distracting." The eyes squinted trying to detect suspicious ticks.

Remus glanced at the table with the heir. He was talking to the guy behind him. He was talking quickly and glaring at Remus' table guest. Something was wrong. Was he found out? How would that even be possible? This stranger, this impossibly gorgeous stranger, were they a target of the Black Family?

Remus cleared his throat. "Work thing." He knew he sounded rude but then again he was busy trying to figure out different scenarios in which he could quickly kill the Black Heir and possibly save the gorgeous man in front of him if needed....and he was also slightly offended.

"Me? You're the brightest star in this place," Remus scoffed waving a hand at the slinky silver dress and black heels. "The minute you sat down I was in trouble." He quirked an eyebrow.

"I've been known to be....troublesome." A wide smile broke across his face.

Remus was tempted to say "fuck it" and offer him a good time. He could finish killing the Black Heir later, make up some excuse about too many people.

"Ahem," The guard was no longer speaking to the Black Heir but standing just behind the stranger. Remus tensed. He didn't even care what this guy had done to upset the Blacks or that there were upwards of two hundred people at the gala, If anyone tried putting a finger on him, Remus would fucking kill them all.

He shivered at the thought. He didn't even know this man but something in his gut told him he was important.

"Yeah yeah," he tried shooing the guard away.

The man sighed and cleared his throat again, louder this time.

"For Christ's sake Rosier, what does he want now?" He flung around, eyes shooting darts.

"He wants and I quote," The guard, Rosier, folded his arms in front of him smirking. "Stop flirting and do your job."

He scowled at Rosier, flipped the Black Heir off, and smiled. "Fine, but I'm finishing my conversation." He leaned in, placing a hand on Remus knee, with the other he beckoned him closer.

He felt the electricity stutter through his body. Remus leaned forward

He had been in dangerous situations before. He had been shot at, stabbed, and chased by the police and criminals (if there was a difference), but his heart had never beat faster.

"I hate this place. I hate these people. I have to go mingle now but I wanted you to know you don't fit, that's a good thing. A very good thing," He tilted his head up and slightly away, hot breath in Remus' ear. He shuddered "I like you, what's your name?"

Remus almost purred at the heat in his ear. He took a breath to steady himself.

"Remus."

The eyes found his again.

"I'm Sirius."

Remus knew confusion flashed behind his eyes and this close there was no doubt he saw it.

"That's my name, honest." He smiled again.

Remus could stare into those eyes forever. He would jump into the storm of them and tread the wild waves until he drowned.

"Ay, you found him!"

Remus startled out of his trance. Both guards were staring right at them. Rosier and the tattooed one.

"I can't have one minute can I?" Sirius was still staring at Remus but the question was aimed at the guards.

"Nope, sorry boss. Reg is getting pretty anxious. You haven't talked to a single buyer all night."

Boss? Why were the guards who worked for the Black Heir calling Sirius boss?

"I found a pretty shiny thing," Sirius stood up rolling his neck. "I'm easily distracted, you know that Crouch." Sirius took a deep breath and turned back to Remus.

"sorry, I have to go, but I will absolutely be finding you later....if you're still here."

But if there was one thing he knew about himself, it was that he would rather die than not be a gentleman. So, he stood and bent slightly at the waist. Remus took Sirius' hand in his and kissed the smooth skin of the knuckles.

If they were calling him boss then he was in charge somehow. Perhaps Orion Black didn't trust his son to go out alone and Sirius was watching over him. Maybe he was in charge of security. Maybe that's why the three of them were so casual, they worked together.

Which was a god damn shame because it meant that at some point he might have to incapacitate or even, God forbid, kill Sirius.

The thought made him ill.

"I'll be waiting," Remus did purr this time but only to let Sirius know that when he did find him again Remus was not letting him go.

Sirius flushed red, wide eyes staring at Remus' lips.

They must have been taking too long because now another person had appeared.

"Sirius," he hissed the name like a snake. "Father wanted you to mingle. Get to know people for when-"

Regulus pursed his lips and nodded in Remus' general direction. "Hello."

"Remus, my little brother Regulus," Sirius swiveled to face his brother. "Reg, this is my new best friend, Remus."

Holy shit. Remus prayed to every god he could think of to let him see Sirius again. Maybe even in a dark secluded room with a soft bed or a fucking couch, a futon, whatever, you know what? It didn't matter, he'd take a cold hard floor if it meant he could pin Sirius beneath him. Explore every divot and curve of his body until he had claimed every inch of land with his hands and conquered every moan with his lips...

"Yes, Regulus," Sirius put on a, well, serious voice. "I must mingle with old ugly rich men so that when father inevitably and by god...." he pressed his hands together in mock prayer. "Finally leaves this mortal coil to burn in hell, I can take over the family business and make him proud!" Sirius rolled his eyes, slipping back into a flirty lilt.

"Bye Remus, hopefully this won't be the last time we meet." Sirius' gaze swept up the entirety of Remus once more, it felt like a wild fire, before he turned away and left with the other three men.

But then....

Oh.

OH.

That meant Regulus wasn't the heir to the Black family.

If Regulus, his initial target and heir to the Black family, was Sirius' little brother...

If Sirius was to take over the family business when Orion Black died....

It meant Sirius was the heir.

Remus had to kill Sirius.

His target was Sirius.

Sirius Black.

Fuck.

Controversial take but I'm gonna come out and say it- Dean knew before cas

#listen for me season 11 is the real /oh/ moment for dean #and whike i fulky believe that cas wanted him and desired him and knee that he woukd die for him and guve up everything #he hasn't boiled that down into what it really was #i think it's simply a softer moment to go from someine being your religion #and realizing that that's love #also it just compels me so extremely that cas' feelings mught be too big for him to know what they are #and that dean might have gotten to a place of emotional awareness by that point that he can slow things down #and see them fir what they are #also there's something about the amara storyline that just drives home the idea that dean is being made to feel like he's falling in love #but it isnt working because it dosen't feel the eay he does about cas #like their bond is deeper than the mark of cain bond he has with amara #anyways i think it's very likely that he represses the hell out of this following the widower arc because of how much that split him open #but their is something about jackles performance in later seasons that is just so resigned #like there's an intrinsic weight there #also cas should be allowed to be more feral more often #and wouldn't be interesting if it's his love for jack that makes him go /oh/#because that is so much softer and more simple #like that's also what love feels like #and it kind if cuts through the chaos of these big unnamed feelings #plus. the intrigue. the heartbreak. the drama.#destiel #deancas #spn
