Summery: it’s been a few months since you ended things with Jack and he’s a bit surprised about something new in your life but doesn’t let it stop him ;)
Kinda Inspired by “What you need” by The Weekend?
Four months..that’s how long it’s been since you’ve seen Jack, you ended things with him towards the end of the season and had spent the whole summer back home with friends and family. You had heard a little about him from Dawson and some of the other guys you were close with, Dawson had told you that Jack had come clean to everyone about your situation so they all understood why you stopped going out with them if He was there.
From what you understood him and Stella were actually still together and he seemed happy. You were a little upset At first when Dawson told you Jack accompanied him and his girlfriend Emma on a couples trip, you assumed Stella had gone as well. However you didn’t dwell on those feelings long as you had met someone over the summer.
Bradley, you guys had met at work not to long after you and Jack parted ways and it just so happened that his dad owns the company you work for which made you hesitant when he first asked you out on a date but once you finally agreed it was one of the best decisions you’ve made in a while. He took you to a beautiful restaurant in downtown jersey, bought you a bouquet of roses and paid for everything but let you tip since you insisted.
After the fourth date he asked you to be his girlfriend and you’ve been dating since, 2 and a half months and counting. You were currently packing your bags to head back to jersey so you could go back to working in the building. You enjoyed being home for a little but you could only take so much of your family and being cooped up in the house while working.
“Yo yo” You heard as there was a knock on your childhood bedroom door, you looked over seeing Dawson. “Hey Daws, what’s up?” You asked. “Nothing just checking if your almost done, we have to head to the airport soon” he replied, you guys had decided to fly back to jersey together. Bradly had left a few days ago to go help his dad with some stuff for the company.
“Yeah just have to zip this and pack my carryon and I’m all set” you told him “okay sounds good” he replied grabbing one of your suitcases and taking it downstairs with him.
You’d been home just about a week when you got a text from Nico inviting you to his welcome home dinner him and his girlfriend Lia were hosting in their new home, they both mentioned they were excited to meet your mystery man.
“Hey babe! Can u come here for a minute?”You called out to Bradley from the kitchen
“What’s up?” He asked coming in
“Would you like to come to my friend Nicos welcome back dinner with me tonight? He wants to meet you” you asked him
“Isn’t that the captain of the team?” He asked with a weird look on his face. “I thought you were only friends with Dawson”
“We’ll Dawsons my best friend and their his so I’m good friends with a few of the guys, Nico and his girlfriend bought their first home so they’re doing a dinner” you explained seeing his face immediately change at the mention of Lia
“Oh okay yeah I’ll come” he said rounding your island and giving you a kiss on the head, “okay sounds good I’ll let them know”.
You pulled into the couples long driveway, seeing Nico welcoming Miles in. As you guys approached the door Lia came out allowing you guys to squeeze each other in a tight hug. You were good friends with most of the girlfriends despite not being a Wag.
“Hi guys! This is beautiful” you said as you pulled away from Lia giving Nico a side hug.
“Yeah my bank account wasn’t looking to beautiful after telling her she could buy whatever decorations she wanted” Nico said with a light laugh causing Lia to elbow him.
“And who’s this?” Lia said nudging her head behind you at Bradley who was holding the wine basket you had brought. “Oh! Lia, Nico meet my boyfriend Bradley, Bradley meet Nico and Lia” you said stepping to the side so he could come closer.
“Omg you’re the mysterious boyfriend Dawson and em told us about!!” Lia said shaking his extended hand. “Nice to meet you” Nico said shaking his hand.
“You guys as well, really a beautiful home you have” Bradley replied with a smile. “Thank you! Now come on in” Lia said leading you both in.
Upon walking into the massive home that was even more beautiful on the inside you were pulled into a few hugs from some of the guys and girlfriends.
As you left Bradley with Nico and Lia to go put the wine basket in the kitchen following the directions they gave, you slammed right into a chest at the entrance but a familiar set of hands grabbed your waist to steady you. 
You both stood there not saying anything or moving, you couldn’t help but scan him noticing the haircut he had that made him look somehow even hotter, his nice tan, and the slight sparkle in his eyes. He looked good..happy, and a little to attractive.
“Hi” he said lowly, “Hi J” you replied just as low
“What’re you doing here?” He asked, “um, Nico and Lia invited me. What about you?”
“Uh kinda on the team, had no choice” he said with a smile on his face, one that you were sad to admit you missed. “Right-sorry I don’t know why I asked that” you said looking down as you felt your cheeks getting hot, noticing his hands were still on your waist.
You stepped back a little letting them fall getting upset with yourself that you immediately missed their familiar warmth. “Um I gotta put this on the counter” you said lifting the basket and showing him. “Oh yeah sorry I’m blocking you” he replied his cheeks getting red as well.
He stepped aside but followed you right in, you could feel his eyes on you as you sat the basket on the counter. “How was your summer?” You decided to ask instead of standing in the slightly awkward silence.
“Good! Uh trained a lot with Lukey and Quinn, was out on the boat a lot, took a few trips; one with Pk and Quinn, one with Dawson and Emma, one with the fam” he said.
“Sounds fun, I know you love spending time with family” you said. “Yeah I miss them a lot during the season, what about you? How was your summ-” he started but got cut off by a voice he didn’t know. “Baby!?” You heard Bradley call out your eyes getting wide.
“In here!” You replied as he rounded the corner, you looked at Jack who was looking back and forth between you and Bradley. “Who’s this?” Bradley asked coming to your side and pointing at Jack.
“This is Jack! He’s a good friend. Jack meet my boyfriend Bradley” you said making eye contact with the center. You noticed the look in his eyes but couldn’t place what it was. Was it hurt?, disappointment?, you weren’t sure but you knew he didn’t like the words that had just come out of your mouth. He had the same look you were sure you did all those months ago at the club when he introduced you to Stella.
“What’s up man” Jack replied with a small wave, “well squish it was nice catching up but I’m gonna go bother the boys. Brad nice meeting you”, “It’s Bradley” your boyfriend replied.
“Yeah Bradley, nice meeting you man” he said walking out. You knew he was in one of his moods and did it on purpose also why he called you a nickname usually only used in private.
“What’s with Squish?” Bradley asked, you didn’t know what to say, Jack had started calling you that after a drunken night where he told you your ass was squishy in between giggles. “Uh it’s something some of them call me, I got drunk one time and told Jack he looked squishy so everyone started calling me it to mess with me” you said making up a complete lie knowing nobody even knew about the nickname.
“Oh okay” he replied looking a little confused.
You and Jack didn’t speak for the rest of the night you seen one another of course but no words shared. You and Bradley had recently celebrated three months and the hockey season was officially starting next week.
You were currently on the way home from work when a call rang through your Bluetooth and your car announced it was Dawson. “Hello” you answered.
“Hey you busy?”he asked, “nope I’m on my way home from work, what’s up?” You replied.
“I was just calling to see if my amazing, beautiful, wonderful, talen-” he started but you cut him off. “What do you want Dawson?” you said with a laugh. “K you got me, I was just wondering if you wanted to come out tonight it’s our last Friday night out before the season”
“Sure” you said. “Wait, what? That’s it? I don’t have to beg?” He asked a little shocked. “No I could use a night out” you said shrugging you shoulders, “what’s it gonna hurt? I’m off the rest of the weekend anyway”.
Oh boy were you wrong, you were taking your words back this night was hurting. You wore new heels Bradley got you that were destroying your feet, Lia was the only other girl that come out and she and Nico had left a little over an hour ago leaving you with a bunch of drunk idiots, and while you had brought Bradley he disappeared 30 minutes ago to the bathroom and still hadn’t been back, not to mention you ex situation-ship was lurking around here somewhere.
As if right on cue the center slid into the booth next to you. “You okay? You look ready to go home” he said. “That’s because I am” you said with a tired laugh. “Why don’t you go home? I’ve hardly had anything to drink I can watch these guys” he said looking down at you right in your eyes.
God his eyes. They were so damn pretty and did so many things to you, so did those lips that were in a slight smile. You didn’t know if it was the boring techno blaring through the speakers, how tired you were, or your third cranberry vodka of the night but you scooted closer to Jack and put your head on his shoulder.
“Where’s Brad?” He asked noticing he hadn’t seen him in a while. “Said he was going to the bathroom but hasn’t been back” you replied dryly not even caring to correct him. “I wanted to come have fun tonight but Lia left, and he disappeared” you said kinda upset that you were having a bad night. “Wanna go dance?” He asked
“What? J you hate dancing” you said sitting up quickly. He laughed loudly “I know but you said you came out to have fun so let’s go have fun” he stood up extending his hand out to you. You looked at it and then up to his face where he raised an eyebrow at you. “You know what? Fuck it” you said taking his hand. “Good girl” he said with a smirk pulling you to the dance floor.
You couldn’t help but immediately get butterflies in your lower stomach and feel a dampness between your legs. He only every said that to you while you were on top of him and nobody had spoke to you like that since him. It didn’t help that he was looking extremely good tonight and as soon as you got on the floor the music changed and What you need by The Weekend started playing.
“Shit, cmon we can go back to the booth their not playing dancing music anymore” he said going to turn around but you stopped him. “No” you said. “No?” He questioned “no” you confirmed pulling him to the dance floor this time.
You didn’t know why you were doing this, Yeah you liked Bradley a lot and he treated you great and had the qualities you wanted in a guy but He wasn’t Jack. It was like you needed Jack, its like you need him to take you home and throw you on his bed and spend all night taking care of your body.
He’s what you want, he’s what you want, I’m what you need, what you need, what you need
As the lyrics blasted through the speakers you felt him pull your back flushed against his chest, run his fingers up your arms, up to your collarbone, and up your throat till he finally made it to your throat and tilted your head back.
“Miss you so much baby, you just don’t understand. Feeling your body next to mine, taking care of this beautiful fucking body” he whispered in your ear. “Jack” you whined out “we..we can’t” you were trying your best but the way his fingers were running so innocently yet so devilish across your skin that was showing thanks to your dress was making you melt. 
I got everything you want with me, I do everything he does times three, and he don’t gotta know
“Just tonight baby, he doesn’t have to know. We can get an Uber to mine right now” he said turning you around so you were facing each other. “Jack..” you were trying to think of something to say but you knew deep down you wanted him to take you home, have one last  rendezvous. “Tell me to stop and I will, I’ll go back to the table with the boys and you can go home, just say the word baby.”
You didn’t know what you were thinking, “get the boys rounded up and into Ubers and then order us one to your house. I have to use the bathroom.” You said kissing his cheek and walking off.
And i’ma love you girl, the way you need, ain’t no one gonna stop us
As you walked into the bathroom there was two people walking out of a stall. One was oddly familiar, “Bradley?” You said with a laugh, “this is where you’ve been for the past hour?”
“Baby! Y/n it was a mistake she means nothing to me” he tried but you could tell he was not on the same planet as you right now and as you looked over and seen white residue on the counter you realized how this probably started.
“We’re done Bradley this wasn’t going to work out for much longer anyways” you said Turing around and walking out.
You went and found Jack by the front doors “hey I was about to come find you, I’ll Uber will be here shortly” he said looking down at you.
You didn’t respond just grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and kissed him hard. “What was that for?” he asked with a smirk, “I don’t have to feel guilty about anything now, found Bradley after he finished a round with some rando” you told him. “Oh shit I’m sorry y/n”
“Shut up no your not” you said with a laugh, “if anything you excited because now you know we have nothing to worry about”
“Yeah..I’m not sorry” he said laughing as he got a notification on his phone “cmon our Ubers here, time for me to take you home and take care of my girl” he said throwing an arm around your shoulder.
“Wait Jack, what about Stella? Aren’t you guys dating still?” You asked now realizing he was supposed to be in a relationship. “Oh god no, I broke up with her like a month after you ended things with me”
“WHAT?”
The next morning you woke up in the familiar expensive sheets of Jacks bed with a hand running up and down your back. As you let out a groan at the headache you had you heard Jack let out a small laugh.
“Good morning pretty girl” he said as you laid your head on his chest to look up at him. “Morning” you mumbled.
After letting you wake up and get some Tylenol and food Jack sat next to you on the couch and pulled you into his lap to face him.
“I think there’s some stuff we need to talk about” he said, “No Jack not right now I just wanna enjoy my time with you” you replied.
“That’s what I wanna talk about. I treated you like absolute shit Y/n and I didn’t notice until I lost you. God I mean I sat there and was so rude to you and you came back to me every time, you should have punched me in the face.”
“What are you trying to say Jack?” You asked getting a little worried. “I mean I’m in love with you, I don’t know why I wouldn’t admit it to myself before,I knew the way you made me feel was love, but I was to stubborn and was so stuck in my playboy mindset that I didn’t even treat you like a proper human. Then I just let you walk away? God I didn’t and still don’t deserve you”
“You love me?” You were shocked, this had to be some kinda of joke. “Yes squish I’m madly in love with you” he said with a smile
You didn’t reply to him once again just pulled him into a kiss, “I’ve been waiting for you to say that for so long. I missed you so much J” you said. “I missed you too” he said kissing you again.
“If it’s alright with you I’d like to start over, go on dates, hang out, not just sex” he said, “yeah I’d like that a lot” you told him
Hope you enjoyed!! I apologize for any errors I only read over this twice just wanted to get it out😭🙏🏻

Hearts Unmasked pt. ii - (Jack Dawson x f!OC)
Tumblr media
Fandom: Titanic
Warnings: None
Length: Short (603 words)
Pairing: Jack Dawson x f!OC
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Eva made her way across the Titanic's deck, her skirt sweeping from side to side as she walked. Ever since the dance last night, she couldn't get the thought of Jack out of her head. Visions of him walking beside her appeared as if he was there. She brushed them off, thinking there was no way she had a crush on someone she just met.
She stopped in front of a door that read "Gallery". She didn't exactly know what kind of gallery to expect, but she entered anyways. Amongst the sea of people surrounding her, she thought she saw Jack. No, it couldn't be.
The pictures on the walls were of paintings from many famous artists. Eva looked up and saw a boat kind of like the Titanic. She smiled slightly and looked away from it, moving onto the next one. As she was approaching the third painting, she felt someone's hand on her shoulder. She slightly gasped and a pair of blue eyes met her.
"Jack?"
"Yes, I thought I saw you." he said. "I never caught your name last night..."
"Oh, I'm sorry, it's Eva." She replied, slightly blushing.
"Eva... what a beautiful name." Jack took her hand and led her to a corner of the room away from the people. He took out his sketchbook and flipped through the pages. Eva caught a glimpse of some of his drawings.
"You're a beautiful artist," she said, tapping on the paper.
Jack began to sketch and looked into her eyes. Then he looked back at the paper. "Thank you, I try my best to make a living off of my drawings."
Eva watched as the pencil lines on the paper became a face. Slowly, the face transformed to look very similar to hers.
"You drew me?" Eva asked him, lightly touching the paper.
"I always draw pretty faces," Jack smiled, looking at her. "How about we leave here?"
"Where did you have in mind?"
"I know a place."
Eva and Jack found themselves in Jack's room on the third class deck of the ship. She did not turn her nose up at the sight of his room, rather she found it very cozy. The ornate lamp and bedframe were beautifully crafted. Eva sat down at Jack's desk while he flopped onto his bed.
"So, how are you enjoying the voyage so far?" He asked her.
"It's been quite the experience." She said, laughing.
"I think so as well. Last night was very fun," he laughed with her.
Eva noticed him sit up on the bed as an invitation for her to join him.
"May I...?" she hesitantly asked him.
"Of course," he smiled, patting the bed beside him.
Eva stood up and gingerly walked to the other side of his bed. The third class beds were small in comparison to the second class ones. Eva picked up her skirt and sat down beside Jack. She never dreamed of being this close to him, let alone in this situation.
Jack placed an arm around her shoulders and stared at the wall across from the bed.
"I never thought this would happen, but yet this ship is called 'The Ship of Dreams'." Jack said.
Eva put her hand on his chest and let herself fall into his arm. She felt him put his other arm around her.
"I'm loving it though," she said softly.
Jack held her in a resting position as she breathed steadily. He made sure she was calm while rubbing light circles on her back.
"Good night Eva," he whispered.
"Good night Jack," she replied, drifting into a peaceful sleep.

A Million To One by Adiba Jaigirdar Book Review
ARC kindly provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
When someone mentioned the words "heist" and "the Titanic" in the same sentence, I just knew I had to read A Million to One.
I was immediately drawn to the premise. Having read this author's debut, The Henna Wars and having enjoying that, I was sure this book would be a delight. You should've seen me when I got the e-galley copy, I was over the moon and excited to start reading. 
Unfortunately, this seemed to be a case where the concept didn't match up with the execution. 
Tumblr media
The book follows four girls, con artist and leader of the group, Josefa, circus performer, Hinnah, actress, Violet and aspiring artist, Emilie who board the Titanic to steal a rare and priceless book, The Rubaiyat from one of the First Class passengers. I was expecting a fast paced novel, high stakes and a slow romantic build up (since I knew there would be a sapphic pairing months before reading). But unfortunately, this book didn't live up to my expectations. 
For starters, I had a few issues connecting with the characters. With Josefa, from the very start she annoyed me for some reason, and the way she was trying to get the girls to join her on her heist for the Rubaiyat just irked me. If you're trying to get someone to join you on a dangerous mission, especially when two of the said people joining you, you've never really talked to before, please sell their part in the mission as more than just "we need you, I've seen the work you do, there is nobody else in the world who can do [blank] as well as you can!" I don't know... if I were those girls I think I would've refused straight away. It takes a lot of trust and loyalty to a person to literally put your life on the line for them and for them to do so, and so willingly for someone they could classify as a stranger didn't really make sense to me. Even though the backstories were revealed as to why they were willing to go on this heist, to me, it didn't seem justifiable enough, especially for some of the other characters.
Tumblr media
 
I didn't mind Hinnah and Emilie's characters but I still didn't feel connected to them despite the elaborate backstories about their personal lives. Violet was probably the character I connected to the most and even that is a far stretch. She had a brother she left in Croatia who she was trying to help and support as much as she could and I could see that desperate love in every chapter in which she mentioned Marko. But that being said, there were a few parts to her character that I didn't understand. She seemed to be very prickly towards Emilie for no real reason and it seemed like a petty sort of hatred, kind of like the two girls were pitted against each other for no other reason than dramatic purpose. At one point I thought how cool it would be if Violet and Emilie ended up in a relationship together as an enemies-to-lovers/grumpy-sunshine couple, having to work together against all odds to steal the Rubaiyat. The drama would've made more sense then, but unfortunately no reasoning apart from an annoyance at having an amateur con artist to help execute the heist, was used to justify Violet's unfair treatment towards Emilie. 
Tumblr media
Being a high stakes book featuring a heist, I would've expected the book to have been quite fast paced and action packed. The book however, followed a rhythm which looked something like 200 pages being on developing the characters and letting the reader in to their backstories and the last 74 pages being fast paced as the plot (and Titanic's unfortunate fate) played out which arguably was the most adrenaline filled part. I wished the high stakes and suspense of whether their plan would succeed or fail was continued throughout the entire book because by the time the book picked up the pacing, I just wasn't interested anymore. Because the start of the book fell so flat, I found I wasn't as emotionally invested in August's pursuit of the girls and the ultimate fate of their heist and their lives. When the ending occurred, while it was sad, I was so disinterested that the emotional aspects of the books didn't pack an emotional punch as much as I would've liked. 
Now onto the romance. I felt like it was rushed. The two girls wanted to get to know each other and they already had some feelings developed before the events of the book, but the romance felt incredibly surface level without a desired build up of chemistry or romantic tension which I hungered for. I must admit though, the epilogue was very cute and it actually was the best part by far of the entire book. 
Tumblr media
The other aspect of note was that I never felt truly transported to the world of 1912 Ireland and the Titanic. The setting was never really prominent not when the girls were still living in their Irish boarding house nor when they were on the Titanic among more wealth than they have ever seen in their lives. Considering these girls came from poverty and from the poorer areas of Ireland, I would've expected more emphasis on the decadence of the Titanic to create this sort of fantasy-like dream of a ship, but that historical allure was barely there at all and I felt the remnants of a missed opportunity here. 
All in all, I really wanted to love this book, it was a hotly anticipated novel for me but it unfortunately fell flat a bit with the pacing, romance, characters and setting. I do see a lot of things other readers may like, after all, a book sometimes isn't for everyone. Sadly, that is the case with me and A Million to One.
ACTUAL RATING: 2 STARS

TW: autistic meltdown
Current internalized meltdown because it’s too hot outside, my mom bought up my ex without meaning to, just in passing conversation about something that she should’ve returned there was no way around it she didn’t mean to, my ears are stopped up from this goddamn ear infection and staying in my mom’s house just reminds me that my ex was the first girl I brought home. I’m going to listen to my stimming playlist but right now only rocking and daydreaming about Spencer Reid holding me will fix it

Tattoos Together
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nico Hischier x fem!reader
summary: based off of the song tattoos together by lauv
notes: this idea was way better in my head, but i still think it’s cute and turned out alright. i’m obsessed with this song and knew i just had to write a nico fic based off of it asap. also, i know the timeline is all over the place bc nico is captain in this, and holtzy and dawson are here, but it technically takes place after jack’s rookie season. the beauty of fiction is that literally nothing is real, so let’s just all pretend everything is normal and chronologically correct 😊. hope you enjoy!! :)
[2.7k]
~
Summer was your favorite season for a number of reasons. First of all, you loved the warm weather. Being able to sit outside and soak up the sunshine was something your body desperately craved during the bitter New Jersey winter. You also loved the overall happiness of the general population that seemed to radiate during the summer months. Your favorite reason, however, was the fact that your best friend was always available to do whatever you wanted him to, because hockey isn’t played in the summer.
You hated that the Devils didn’t make the playoffs this year. You were as devastated as they were during that last game of the season, but you can’t lie and say you weren’t also ecstatic. You knew, the moment they lost the game that eliminated them from any sort of play off position, you were going to get a summer full of sun and fun at the lake house.
You had decided to take the warm season off from any internships or courses, not wanting anything to come in-between you and nearly four, uninterrupted months with your boys at the lake. You had decided to transfer to a college in Jersey so you could spend more time with Jack, not so you could stay in a strange city while all of your friends go to your favorite place on earth.
This year was especially exciting, considering Jack had convinced a group of his teammates to join in on the summer antics. Your anticipation for the warmer weather to arrive was only heightened once you learned a certain hockey captain would also be in attendance at the lake house.
You had been drawn to Nico from the first moment you met him after Jack’s rookie debut. Jack was so eager to introduce the two of you. He had made quick friends with the Swiss player after his arrival in the garden state and he wanted nothing more than his oldest and newest friend to meet one another and hit it off. Nico gave short, but kind, responses when Jack called you over to speak to him outside of the locker room; you assumed he was just tired and wanted to get home, but once you had seen him leaning against the wall in a crowded bar a few hours later, you made it your mission to make a friend out of the quiet hockey player.
You found yourself enjoying his conversation a little too much, basically neglecting Jack on his big night. The two of you talked about anything and everything. Nico had been in the middle of a story about his siblings back home when you suddenly realized the danger you were in. You hadn’t even been around this man for more than a few hours, and you could feel yourself falling for him. His kind eyes, the deep dimples when he smiled, and the care and attention he showed every single person that came up to congratulate him on the win, while also never failing to listen to your stories and stay engaged in the conversation with you, was making you spiral in the best way.
You knew you couldn’t go there, though. He was a big shot hockey captain, and you were only here for school. With the team’s busy schedule, you didn’t know when you would see him again. As soon as the light feeling in your chest had appeared, you forced it to make its exit. You couldn’t fall for him. You wouldn’t let yourself fall for him.
Over the next few months, however, you found yourself in Nico’s presence more often than not. Any team event that Jack dragged you to, you always found your way to where Nico was, striking up innocent, friendly conversation. If you were attending a home game at the Prudential Center, you were always cheering for Nico anytime he made a particularly important or skillful play. When he would come over to yours and Jack’s shared apartment, you always had some excuse for needing to be in the kitchen when they were, or passing through the living room and then planting yourself on the couch between the two ‘out of boredom’.
Nico wasn’t making it easy for you, either. Anytime the captain would score on the ice, it was you he was pointing towards during his celebration (or sending a text to ask if you were watching as soon as he was in the locker room for intermission, if it was an away game). If he had plans with Jack he would always send you a message, inviting you to tag along. Nico had even memorized your class schedule and your coffee order, bringing you your caffeine fix on lecture mornings when he would pick Jack up for morning skate. You found yourself talking to Nico almost more than you spoke to Jack, finding it harder and harder to keep your promise to yourself.
Jack could sense the underlying feelings you had for his captain, being able to pick up on all of your tells from the many years of friendship. He saw the way your gaze would immediately start sweeping any room you entered until it settled on Nico. He pretended not to notice the way you would always come out of your room on the mornings Nico was coming by before practice, hair and make-up already done, sitting in the kitchen to ‘work on homework’ before your lectures. He noticed when you bought his captain’s jersey, alternating between the 13 and 86 jerseys every other game. He noticed the way you would instantly perk up at the mention of Nico’s name in any conversation.
Jack also noticed the way Nico tried, and failed, to hide the feelings he had for you, as well. He noticed the way Nico would skate out for warm-ups and look around the glass until he saw you, waiting a few minutes before he made his way over to the glass where you were standing, pretending to be surprised when he turned around and found you behind him. Jack noticed the way Nico suddenly wanted to always come over to his apartment instead of Jack going to what the team refers to as the ‘captain’s quarters’. He noticed the way Nico would always come back with your favorite cocktail in hand anytime you were with them on a night out.
The back and forth between you and Nico continued for months, neither one of you ever taking the next step to admit feelings for one another. Jack wished the two of you would just get it over with at this point, the inevitable apparent to everyone but yourselves. So, when Jack opened the lake house invitation to Nico, Alex, and Dawson this summer, he can’t lie and say he didn’t have some ulterior motives.
Now, as you and Nico walked ahead of everyone else, lost in your own little world, he knew he made the right decision.
You had just eaten dinner, Jack having made reservations at a local seafood place he was dying to take everyone to, when you announced you wanted ice cream. You had suggested the small ice cream shop a short walk from the restaurant, wanting to stay out in the small lake town a little bit longer. You had sat next to Nico at dinner, staying in your own conversation most of the meal, being brought into the larger conversation happening around you only if either of your names were mentioned. The conversation followed the two of you outside, talking about his upcoming trip home.
“So, when are you leaving this utopia?” You asked him, shoulders bumping as you walked on the sidewalk beside him, a car driving by, causing your sundress to ruffle and flow in the passing wind.
“Not until the end of the month. Why? Can’t wait to get rid of me?” he responds with a playful smile, putting his hand on your back, pushing you over to the inside of the sidewalk, placing himself closest to the active road beside of you.
“Not even close,” you link your pinky with his, a habit you’ve gotten into anytime you’re walking beside him. “Dreading the day, actually. This is your first summer here, and you don’t even get to experience the best part!”
“I thought the best part was that you were here?” he references the statement you made when trying to convince him to make the trip to Michigan for the summer.
“Well, the next best part,” you respond, waving off his words. “You’re going to miss the boat parade on the Fourth of July!”
“A…boat parade?” Nico questions.
“Yes! A boat parade! Everyone decorates their boats and then drives them around the lake. Everyone here goes crazy for it. People don’t spare a single expense when it comes to boat decorations. One family even paid those statue street performers to play Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty on their boat on year,” you explain, earning a laugh from Nico.
“Why do I have the feeling you would have done that if you thought of it first?” he asks in-between chuckles.
“Because I would’ve! I was so mad that I didn’t even think of it. The only year we haven’t won it. Well, other than the years we haven’t been able to make it up here,” you shrug, thinking of all the time you’ve missed out on in the past few years.
“Well, you’ll have to come up with something even crazier this year. To make up for all the lost time,” Nico squeezes your pinkies closer together, knowing how much you hate the summers you can’t come here. “Look, you could go get a tattoo of the American flag, or something. Decorate your body, not just your boat. Really commemorate the summer,” he points to the tattoo shop you’re walking past, laughing at the craziness of the idea.
Maybe it was the heat finally getting to you. Maybe it was all the lake water you had swallowed the past few weeks. Or maybe it was the build-up of the months worth of feelings you’ve had for the man in front of you, but something in you made you say “Let’s go do it.”
“What?” Nico stopped in his tracks, looking over at you like you had three heads.
“I said let’s do it,” you said again, a serious look on your face.
“As in let’s go let you get a tattoo of the American Flag?” he asked again, confirming the idea forming in your brain.
“Yes. Well, I mean no. But yes,” you start, letting go of his pinky you were still holding on to. “I mean, let’s go get tattoos to commemorate the summer, like you said.”
“Like…right now?”
“Yes, right now. Why not? It’ll be fun. At the very least it’ll be a story to tell one day,” you try to convince him, acting as if this isn’t the most out of character thing you could suggest.
“I mean, what would we even get?” Nico asks, the word ‘no’ never coming out of his mouth.
“I don’t know, whatever you want. It doesn’t have to be anything big. Or anywhere where everyone will see it. It can just be something we know we have, y’know?” you continue to try to convince him.
“Hey! Why’d you two stop? The ice cream shop is another block down.” Jack asks as the rest of the group approaches the two of you.
“Y/N is trying to convince me to go get a tattoo with her right now,” Nico tells everyone, earning a collection of shocked faces.
“You two? Getting matching tattoos?” Dawson asks, looking between the two of you.
“They don’t have to be completely matching. Just something to make us thinks of this moment. This summer,” you explain. “We could all get one, actually. As a group!”
“You’re out of your mind if you think any of us are getting tattoos right now,” Jack speaks up, not scared to call you out on your stupid ideas.
“I don’t think it’s that crazy of an idea. It could be fun,” Nico surprises everyone.
“Cap, are you serious? You’re thinking about going and getting a tattoo right now?” Alex questions.
“I’ve been thinking about getting another one for awhile now, so why not right now? Like she said, it’s a good summer memory, Holtzy” Nico shrugs, sounding like he’s made up his mind.
“Of course you would agree to get a matching tattoo with her. You guys are practically attached at the hip anyways,” Dawson says, causing both you and Nico to flush a light shade of pink. “You guys go have your fun, get matching tattoos, but we’ll be eating ice cream, loving the taste of no regrets,” Dawson gives up the fight.
“Just…don’t get each other’s names on your foreheads,” Jack says, shaking his head as he walks away.
Dawson and Alex follow Jack, grumbling about how they can’t believe you’re actually going to do this. Alex slides in a “at least ask her on a date first, cap” as he walks away, Nico praying you didn’t hear the comment.
You turn towards Nico, holding your hand out. “You ready?”
He takes your hand, letting you pull him into the tattoo shop’s open door. “Let’s go get tattoos together.”
An hour later, you and Nico walked out with two fresh wounds on your ankles.
Both of your tattoos were so small you truly had to look for them to notice them. You had ended up getting tattoos that were technically matching, but could have meaning on their own, too. The artist had laid out a bunch of stencils she had ready to go, letting you pick from the pile which ones you wanted. You had found a small heart with devil horns, pointing it out to Nico and jokingly suggested he get it to show his Devils heritage. At almost the exact same time, his eyes landed on a small heart with a halo over it, his eyes lighting up.
He had agreed to get the devil one only if you got the matching angel one. So, twenty minutes later, the stencils were placed and you both sat on the table as two different artists tattooed you simultaneously.
The rest of your small group teased the two of you about it for the rest of the summer. After Nico left at the end of that month, the conversation shifted from teasing about the tattoos, to teasing about when the two of you were finally going to admit your feelings to each other. You waved off their words, sticking to your explanation of you two being just friends, but they didn’t let you forget that, in their words, you ‘basically branded’ their captain.
When Nico arrived home, Nina immediately clocked the small tattoo on her brother’s leg, questioning him about it. He told her it was just a last-minute decision, something to do after the season was over, not wanting to hear any nagging about how irresponsible it was that he let a girl he was even dating talk him into getting a matching tattoo. But, when Nina saw your Instagram post at the end of the summer, the very last picture showcasing a small, familiar looking angel tattoo, she barged into Nico’s bedroom, demanding answers.
“Nico, you better explain to me what the hell is going on here, because last time we spoke you hadn’t even told her you have feelings for her yet,” Nina interrogated Nico in their native language.
“Yeah…well that hasn’t really changed. Just…haven’t found the chance yet,” he avoids talking about the tattoo, choosing to talk about the other half of her question.
“Well after this, what the hell are you waiting for?”
“Honestly, I don’t know. What if she doesn’t feel the same way? What if she moves back home after she graduates next year and just leaves me behind?” Nico voices his fears to his older sister.
“Nico, she asked you to get matching tattoos. There’s no way she doesn’t feel the same way as you. I haven’t even fully met the girl, only having talked to her on your facetime calls, and I can see that she’s head over heels for you,” Nina encourages Nico, causing a warm feeling in his chest at his sister’s words.
“Well, when you put it that way…” Nico trails off, thinking about the events of this summer in full. “You know what, you’re right. As soon as I get home, I’m telling her. What’s the harm? And if she doesn’t have feelings for me, well, at least we’ll always have tattoos together.”

Kinktober 2023 | Day Thirty-One — Jackson Rippner + ghostface!reader
Pairing -> jackson rippner x ghostface!reader
Summary -> In this college au, Halloween is nearing its corner, only for the festive mood to be cut short when your classmate is brutally killed. As the series of murders continues, Jackson Rippner finds himself the next target, oblivious to the fact that his hunter is you, his girlfriend, the ghostface.
KINKTOBER 2023 MLIST
Warnings: mention of death, jackson being a simp
Disclaimer: Red Eye characters, plots, quotes, etc. do not belong to me and belong to the rightful owner(s). This is only fanfiction and this is just for fun.
This is just an excerpt for the full-length fic that's coming out, bc I felt like this prompt deserved something much longer than just a drabble.
A/N: not me reading over this thing after it's published and seeing all the mistakes 😭
Tumblr media
Jackson Rippner was trying to become more romantic for you, an endeavor that started about a week ago after he noticed you liked passionate men. It was a simple conversation about fictional crushes — you know, the ones you have as a kid when he realized all the men you had pointed out were terribly lovey-dovey and all sentimental-like. A few origami roses here and there, some thoughtful gifts, maybe some poetic letters, and he was sure that he could outcompete all of them. He was the only man you needed, the only man you could ever want.
He knew how it sounded—pathetic. Since when was he the type to change himself for a girl? He was no Romeo or Jack Dawson, and he certainly didn’t want to be. He wasn’t a simpering fool, chasing after a pretty girl like it was his life’s mission, but as it turned out, he was for you. And if you liked your men romantic, then Jackson would be romantic
Starting off with whatever this was: a package of your favorite stuff. For one, two books you mentioned wanting to get but couldn’t spare the money for, which Jackson painstakingly searched through the town for. He finally found them in some niche bookstore on the outskirts of Craven, overpriced for the value—or some other equally stupid bullshit—even though he knew damn well that he could get it for half the price if he drove further into the main city. He would have, but he knew his father would get pissed if he wasted that much gas money, and fearing to face his fist, he settled for the high cost. It’s for her, so it’s worth it.
For second, and last—at least for now, some bath bombs. He made them from scratch, swiping the ingredients from around the house. He used a cedar wood scent for the essential oil, as it was the closet smell he could get to his cologne, and made three bombs, wrapped them in plastic, and put them alongside the books in the bag.
It was perfect. You were going to love it. You had to love it. How could you not?
He closed the bag and placed it on his desk, ready to go to sleep, when the landline downstairs rang. It was probably telemarketers, but it could also be his parents, who were out on date night. 
He headed downstairs and picked up the phone, but the voice on the other end caught him off guard. “Hey,” a woman said, but it didn’t sound natural. It sounded like there was a voice modulator, the ones that criminals used in those crime shows you forced him to watch.
“Hey?” Jackson responded, confused, and a little irritated.
“I know who you are.”
Jackson tried to focus on the sound of the voice. Maybe he could pick out who it was if he listened close enough, but it was a fruitless effort. It was female, but too common to tell.
“You’re the one calling me,” he said, tone laced with amusement, “I should assume so.”
“Do you know who I am?”
“A creep? A weirdo?” Jackson laughed. “A stalker? I dunno. Take your pick.”
It was quiet. For a moment, he thought the woman hung up, but then she spoke again, “A lover. I’m a lover, Jackson.”
“Good for you.” He glanced back at the package he left on his desk. He was tired, and didn’t want to deal with this right now. “Now, how about you either stop acting mysterious and tell me what you want, or I cut the call.”
“Someone’s going to die tonight, Jackson,”  the woman said. Oddly enough, Jackson felt a twinge of excitement at her words. It was oddly thrilling, and adrenaline inducing to hear such a thing. It was at this point he realized with himself that this was a prank, because who would just admit to premeditated murder? but still—it was hot. He wished you would say those things.  
“I hope it’s that girl from my English class. What’s her name? Ah, fuck, I forgot. She’s the bitchy one —all emotion. Screams every time the lights go out. You know her?”
“Yeah, I know her.”
So, she’s been on campus, Jackson thought. Following me, maybe. I can’t believe it! 
“It’s not her, though. But who knows, maybe she’ll be next. Would you like that?”
“Doll, I really don’t care. Do me a favor, and don’t call me again.”
He put the phone down and went back upstairs. What a fucking psycho. He was too tired to deal with this shit. After freshening up, he pulled the covers over himself and turned off the lamp, drifting off into a peaceful slumber.

Favorite Morally Gray Villains
Tumblr media
Carmen Sandiego - Initially presented as just a straightforward villain, Carmen Sandiego quickly developed nuance when it was established that she used to be ACME's top agent, and that she became a criminal mastermind not out of a profit-based motive but for the thrill of the challenge and a desire to produce worthy opponents whom might possibly join her in her life of crime if accepting the offer. She also has a strict moral code prohibiting excessive violence and murder, feeling such cruel acts to beneath the dignity of a professional thief. Because of this, she has endured as an iconic villain in educational media, with the latest incarnation even being a straight-up anti-hero battling both detectives and other criminals.
Tumblr media
Long John Silver - Treasure Island provided us with the quintessential fictional pirate, whose portrayal by Robert Newton in the 1950 film adaptation gave rise to what is now known as the "pirate voice" (arrr, matey!), Long John Silver is ruthless, greedy, treacherous and amoral. However, he is also highly charming, with a silver tongue that makes him able to talk his way out of trouble and into opportunities quite often. He is constantly switching sides based on what will benefit him the most, but also makes sure to pull his weight and genuinely benefit the others on his current side as well, showcasing a sense of honor that is otherwise absent from his character. On top of that, his fondness for young Jim Hawkins is genuine, and he tries to the best of his abilities to protect him during the harrowing situation that he's largely responsible for. He's just impossible not to like a little, for all his many faults. Beyond the aforementioned Robert Newton, Long John Silver has been excellently portrayed by actors such as Wallace Beery, Charlton Heston, Tim Curry, and Jack Palance, and voice actors such as Richard Dawson, Jim Cummings, Mackenzie Gray, Brian Murray Bell, and Richard Epcar.

Alright, I'll give it to PB for finally making a consistent string of above decent looking love interests in the "smut" books for the first time in a very long time.
With that said...
The Titanic? The MC being a woman of upper-class society getting pawned off to an "eligible" upper-class match? The love interest she eventually falls in love with is a member of the lower class? Not even Third Class like Jack Dawson, but now a member of the Crew?
Like, I don't know who they're trying to fool, but it's mildly concerning that the writers have on more than one occasion taken "inspiration" from other popular works and basically morphed them into a virtual choices novel. However, historical fiction has been one of their stronger genres of writing, so I'm holding out hope, but I'm not holding my breath on this being eerily similar to the movie with just some added in stuff to avoid a plagiarism claim. I just find it hilarious that in their blog post they wanted to portray other stories outside of what's been done before...but like...this story has been done before and made over $2 billion dollars so how does that make sense?
However, I do find it hilarious that Francis Somerset's model from Unexpected Heiress is re-used as an eligible suitor considering his brother John Somerset's fiancee Victoria died on the Titanic according to the Unexpected Heiress. Wonder if she'll be worked into the story since PB tries to have all their stories tie-in to one gigantic Choices Universe World.

I knew watching it again would probably result in some different perspectives from when I watched as a kid, but I remembered the film really well already and wasn’t expecting anything particularly ORV-related to suddenly hit me out of the blue, but like. Right at the end. RIGHT at the end.
Sing-Shong (or Han Sooyoung and KimCom, if you’d rather - or maybe both!) really did put so much thought into everything that got included, didn’t they?
Tumblr media
You could say that ORV itself is exactly the same to them as this story was to the Rose who shared her story - Jack’s story.
I guess the idea is that, without ORV, we would never have known about Kim Dokja at all, because nobody would have remembered him. Maybe without those specific people surviving, there would not be any other record of him at all. Maybe that is part of the change between what may have ‘actually’ happened and what we read. Maybe he really, truly is ‘just some guy’ trying to survive like Jack Dawson, but nobody even knew he was a part of their story in the first place? What we read is a story saying ‘he was there, here is evidence of him being there’, but maybe he was just like Jack, there unplanned and undocumented, even in the <Star Stream> itself.
And they are still there, telling every world line outside of their own: He was here too. We want to find him. As the only ones who know he was there - maybe without any statue, any documented heroism. Just like everyone in the background of the film, saving each other, dying together, trying to survive.
And a promise, of course, to never let go. Not of a hand, but of a promise: A promise to survive, to live to an old age, and die in a warm bed.
I think a young Kim Dokja would appreciate the kind of message that provided, even in film form. Or at least, it’s one Han Sooyoung (or Sing-Shong, if you’d rather) would consider would want to convey to her readers.
Maybe they don’t even have a picture of him either. Maybe the only record of him exists within their memories. And that was the only source they had with which to try and recreate the ‘him’ that they knew, whilst knowing that, as with the film Titanic, the story would out of necessity become somewhat dramatised to sell the story as plausible or to make it popular enough to reach him.
Anyways, this quote (from the movie transcript - couldn’t find screenshots to do it justice) was what really hit me the most as being relevant to his story, too. Since they were there too, in the theatre dungeon, on the Titanic. It being a fictional rendition of a historical event makes it even more relevant too, and even as a kid I wondered - how can everyone be so okay watching these people die so horribly? But it’s because it’s fiction, it’s fiction. But, in this case, was it? How much of it?
Interpretations of fiction could still be close to reality, in universes where these things did happen, in their reality. As history. So are the things we read, watch, play all the same, in the end? Artists’ renditions, dramatised documentaries, or similar? Fiction, yet also reality.
Like ORV. Fiction, yet reality. Always both and the same.
And they always say ‘it feels like a dream’, too. What do dreams count as? Fiction, or reality? The memories stay in your head from them too. Does that mean they are or are not real?
Just some guy dreaming of the helping his friends through the apocalypse, who came out of nowhere just like Jack Dawson on that ship, walking the fine line between fiction and reality that never had any distinction to him in the first place. It’s always been both, for him, with his story.
Anyways I am crying right now so feel free to cry with me! We have many tears with all these stories and histories, I think.
