Matty and George number 14!! This is such a cool idea

Yay! Thank you so much for the prompt! I hope this is what you were looking for, and if it isn't that you still enjoy it! I had a lot of fun writing it- it was a nice break from working on my many WIPs. Let me know what you think!

❤️Ally

Kiss ... casually

Matty looked down at his notes app, frowning when he realized the only thing written was “cheese.” He knew, rationally, that he needed more groceries than just cheese. He had been on tour for the last six months and even before that his pantry had been embarrassingly sparse. He hadn’t even specified what kind of cheese. Was he looking for a block of cheese? Grated cheese? Those cheese sticks he had discovered in America and become absolutely obsessed with? Matty at two am when he decided he was going to be an adult and make a shopping list had not specified. The Matty of today knew that if it had been important enough for him, stoned and jet lagged, so tired he couldn’t even dream of falling asleep, to write down, the sole item on his shopping list, it was clearly important that he got the right kind. He didn’t want to light up tonight and then be hit with a wave of crushing devastation about not having the right kind of cheese. 

He sighed. He would revisit the cheese. He tried to remember if he had toilet paper. He knew he at least had the one roll. It had been extremely comforting to take a shit in his own bathroom before he attempted to go to sleep the night before, he had missed his two ply after months on the road, staying in hotels and shitting in concert venues. It was so nice to be surrounded by his soothing, gray, stone walls, and the eucalyptus plant in the shower that he paid a woman to come water twice a week while he was gone. 

She was also supposed to feed his fish. The fish that were mysteriously missing from their tank when he returned, but Sheila had been putting up with him for years and he wasn’t about to ruin that relationship when he suddenly couldn’t even remember if he had actually bought fish for the tank in the entryway or just thought about it. He was pretty sure other than the guys, Sheila might be one of the few people in London that didn’t hate him. Unless she stole his fish.  Regardless, he needed to go buy more fish, or maybe the first batch of fish. He couldn’t remember, but his fish tank was empty and he needed to do something about it. If he remembered. If Sheila had stolen his fish he wondered why she didn’t just take the entire tank. He looked down at his notes app and added “Fish” to his list. 

He went to run his fingers through his curls, before remembering he was wearing a baseball hat. Fuck. He was still so tired, a bone deep weariness that would take days to overcome as he readjusted to his civilian life. It was probably for the best, they were greasy and in desperate need of a wash. He had been too exhausted, and too high, to do more than stand under the spray and admire his eucalyptus plant when he got home. His plant was thriving, no thanks to him, and the light aroma of the leaves made his chest feel nice as he breathed in the steam. He wondered if Sheila would know if he needed to buy toilet paper. He wondered if it was pathetic to text her. He should probably buy more just in case. He would use it eventually. He wished they hadn’t rearranged everything in the store while he was gone. He didn’t even know where to look for toilet paper anymore. 

“Well you look like you’re having a productive trip,” George said, glancing down at Matty’s empty basket when he slid up beside him and leaned down to press a casual kiss to the corner of his mouth. Matty let out a whine of frustration. They had decided to divide and conquer, and so far, Matty had not conquered anything. George’s basket was full though, overflowing with fresh produce, meat and even a bottle of Coca Cola that Matty wanted but was refusing to buy for himself since he was trying to drink less soda. It didn’t count when George brought it for him though. 

“I don’t know what kind of cheese I want,” he said, pathetically, glaring at the shelves as if they had personally offended him. 

George laughed, “well, considering you’re standing in the cereal aisle, I’m not sure how to help you.” 

“I was looking for toilet paper,” Matty said, he knew he was whining slightly, but George just chuckled. He could tell Matty was exhausted, his eyes red and swollen, his eye lids drifting shut then snapping open as if he was going to fall asleep on his feet in the cereal aisle in Tesco. 

“We actually used up everything you panic bought during the pandemic?” George asked, not addressing the fact that he was still in the wrong aisle. Matty groaned again, slamming his face into George’s chest in frustration. He had an entire, what was supposed to be a linen cabinet, closet full of toilet paper. His mother had sent him into a tizzy when the pandemic started, and he had panic bought more toilet paper than a single man could ever hope to go through on his own. Even when he and George got back together, they were on tour most of the year, and had barely made a dent in Matty’s stash.   

“I forgot about that,” he grumbled, his voice muffled by the fabric of George’s tee shirt. George smirked and kissed the top of Matty’s head, sending a little shiver down Matty’s spine.

He loved how casual George was with his affection, how nonchalant he was, dropping little kisses to Matty’s body, little touches, fingers dragged lightly across his back or to brush his curls out of his eyes, reminding Matty that he was loved even when he was filled with self doubt and didn’t love himself. George was so confident, so casual with his affection, as if it was just something so normal to be sharing, to be sharing with Matty that he couldn’t help but think that maybe he wasn’t the worst.

“Why don’t we pay and head home,” George said, running a hand down Matty’s back. Matty wished he could feel the warmth of his hand through his blue Nike hoodie, but the fabric was too thick. “I think there’s a nap in our future.” 

“But the cheese,” Matty whined, mentally cursing two am Matty for not being more specific with his list. 

“I’ll go grab a few different options,” George said, “and will meet you by the check out.” 

“Fine,” Matty grumbled, stepping back so that George could press one last peck to his lips before turning down the aisle, off to the refrigeration section to get Matty cheese.

Matty grabbed a box of Frosties and added it to his empty basket, at least he was contributing something to the household, he thought with a yawn, dragging his feet down the aisle towards the self checkout. He was so tired his ankles hurt. He wondered if George would be up for stopping at Caffe Nero on the way home. He was in desperate need of a coffee. He glanced down at his phone, making sure there wasn’t anything else he was forgetting. He froze, blinking at the screen in confusion. What the fuck did he mean by Fish?

My E&H Headcanons List Because I Realized I Never Shared Them🫣 (Part 1)

• Stiesel cries himself to sleep every night

• Edna is bi and ace (Freya was her bi awakening)

• The Keymaster probably had some sort of connection with the Church in the past since that was his hiding place

• Edna’s mom gave her Harvey before she died (or, Mattis got Harvey for Edna shortly after her mom died, I can’t decide which one I prefer)

• Alfred died in the Family Guy death pose

• Birgit probably read Warriors ( I feel like I’ve seen someone say this but I can’t remember who 😭)

• Mattis is a whore ( he’s very lonely and desperate)

• Dr. Marcel’s wife didn’t die, she just left him bc he’s scary af & he sucks

• Did I mention that Mattis is a whore

• Edna probably liked MLP growing up but was embarrassed about it bc she was a tomboy

• Edna’s mom prob looked a lot like her, such as being tall & having purple hair

• I’ve mentioned this before in one of my rambles but I’ll bring it up again: Edna’s rebellious behavior started ever since her mom died because she had trouble processing everything & would act out as a result and get her anger out on Alfred. This was also possibly a result of her being influenced/inspired by Freya’s mischievous behavior as well.

•Edna’s mom was a much better parent than Mattis

• I did see someone say that they headcanon the Keymaster grew up in the convent which I find interesting

• Freya was probably a roller rink enjoyer

• This one is very specific but like. You know how there was a pink Harvey official plush? I like to think that Lilli once owned a pink rabbit plush like Harvey, however Mother Superior took it away bc she hates joy and wonder >:(

• Edna has eaten bugs before. It’s just a very in-character thing for her to do.

There’s a lot of things im missing but I’m very tired and need to sleep brb

29. I think my strength when writing is maybe dialogue/ giving characters a personality. I've been told that my characters feel like actual people which is one of the best compliments I've ever gotten.

71. FACE Family/NA Bros. I love Alfred and Matthew being portrayed as dumbasses who share a braincell. And Mattie acting like he's SO much smarter than Al when really he's just as stupid. And Francis and Arthur as the tired dads who have to deal with their idiot sons.

75.

Bless, thank you so much!!!! 😭

She also didn’t please Joe Widows and mourn him as the love of her life because that relationship was half dead and she killed what remained by ending it. The weird thing is the Matty into Travis of it all.

I think the Joe widows as you say and tbh most people too just were expecting her talk much more about a relationship that she framed as being the most special thing ever that she would take so long to move on from and that lasted way longer than any other. Like by all accounts it seemed that she thought of him as the love of her life.

So to see her release almost an entire album about the guy who came next and mourn HIM and not Joe as if he was the actual love of her life all this time felt weird.

And now a lot of people are seeing it as her pining for Matty for years and the whole Joe is my soulmate fairytale was not true. I see a lot of people now thinking Joe was just like a safe option she settled with, because she couldn't have Matty all these years. I think people are taking this album as damn her longest relationship ends and she couldn't have cared less, she was actually devastated by this guy that she couldn't have. As like it was 6 years, a whole life and HE is the one who she felt heartbroken over instead??? So were her feelings for the other guy never as strong???? This one was the one she wanted all along???

but that’s the part I’m not getting like from my own POV or any proper LTR I’ve ever seen break up or heard about the break up of unless it ends badly af (like with betrayal or idk something like that). Even like this woman I know who had the MESSIEST divorce ever - the divorce lasted like as long as the relationship so 5 years divorce for 5 years marriage, besties never do a marriage with no prenup and in community of property lol - when I asked her why she left like she was like “idk I got tired and he was on the spectrum and what was at one point quirky and I could be empathetic about became annoying as fuck and one night I picked up the kids and I left to my mum’s”. That was the whole story. Now, that’s the father of her children and I think in many respects the love of her life (if such a thing can exist) but also after the divorce I doubt there’s any fondness but THAT is because he tried to screw her badly financially. She’d gone into the marriage with her own assets, he convinced her to quit her job and have kids, most of her stuff (eg her car and her flat) were sold so he’d buy her a new one but that was in his name but in community of property so w/e right and then he wouldn’t give her her stuff back and didn’t want to split his assets 50/50 and they also couldn’t agree on custody (that’s still a mess even with divorce finalized). She can talk for HOURS about the divorce but the actual relationship ending was 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ shit ends.

whereas flings are exciting and short shit often has a lot of drama (hence it being short) and T/J had a lot going on when they were together but towards the end like… it was just not working for all the same reasons it had struggled to work dude like what else do you want to hear her say??? And of course she felt like she’d never get over him because she loved him a great deal and he obviously loved her and said it right until the end and Matty helped her convince she could love again and then ditched her like OF COURSE that hurts more dramatically than “wow this should probably end at some point but idk for what specific reason or when” 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Matty t being soft after rough sex 🥺

After care king. I’m not taking criticism. He’s gonna go all out

Get a warm rag to clean you up

carry you to the bathroom so you can pee bc hygiene and what not

Hand you his T-shirt and put you to bed

Get you some water and maybe something to help with the soreness

A granola bar maybe to give you some energy because boy are you fucked out

Then he’s gonna climb into bed, drag you to him and just hold you close as if you’re gonna run away or something

He’s a mouthy boi so a lot of pillow talk

Definitely gonna brag about how hard he fucked you but in a fun way more than a dick way

If you still aren’t tired he’s gonna eat you out one or thrice

I feel like he’s big on cockwarming because that’s soft af

can I send something about andre?

I love that man and there needs to be more andre content also his new phone cases got me soft AF today

so like you’ve been together for a couple of years with andre and are married and wanna start a family and he’s been hitting it raw for a while but he doesn’t know you have actually been getting off birth control (y’all have talked about it but he hasn’t heard you say anything about it) so you’re just sitting and eating one day and are casual like when do you see us having a kid and he’s like I want one soon and you’re like oh yeah and smile and are like you wanna make a baby? And he’s just like 😍😍 hell yeah so that starts it when you start trying. It takes a little bit of time for y’all to get pregnant but he sure does love the practice. Anywhere and anytime he is trying to put one in you and after he cums he always stays inside for a little bit saying something like how: can’t let it go to waste and his dirty talk has now resolved into him talking about how he’s gonna fill you up and put a baby in you and can’t wait for it cause the idea of you pregnant carrying his baby just gets him going (I am convinced all euro boys have breeding kinks ok? Ok.)

so he’s on a roadie one day and you’ve been feeling super bad lately just with nausea and your boobs are tender and your feet hurt so you think maybe I should take a test and you wanna wait, but it’s just killing you to not know so you hold out until it’s the day of his arrival back and it’s positive which just makes you so happy and beaming and when he comes through the door you launch into his arms and are smiling like an idiot and he’s like woah babe missed you too and he’s squeezing you super tight and you pull back and are like: babe loosen a bit so we don’t hurt the baby and it almost goes over his head before he’s just like no no yeah? Yeah?! Yeah! And he’s so happy and cute and just ugh adorable and is holding your stomach and talking and you’re laughing cause it’s so early and he doesn’t care (he wants to soak up as much as he can because he’s gone for so long during the season)

and y’all agree that he can’t tell anyone until y’all are past the first trimester but he’s just so happy all the time and just more soft to you and like smiling that the guys know something’s up so eventually gabe figures it out and says something in the locker room about his mood and he’s just like jumping and down and telling everybody about how you’re pregnant and there’s gonna be a baby burky and they’re all just like congrats but then he’s like stammering about how they aren’t supposed to know yet and stuff and he’ll get in trouble if they say anything to you so they agree to keep their mouths shut but he might have to tie some skates before games sometimes for some and deal with the chirps

and the sex while pregnant is amazing after the doctor gives y’all the go ahead of course and he’s constantly worshipping your body all the time and when you’re tired and just had a long day he’s just like let me help and spends hours between your legs making you feel good and release the tension from the stress of carrying and growing a baby

and when y’all finally tell everyone (the guys and their better halves) they all are like omg that’s so great haha and can’t hide that they already knew and you’re like you totally knew? He told? And gabe’s just like don’t be mad y/n he’s been so happy we were gonna figure it out eventually and when we did he caved and you’re just like andre! And he wraps his arms around you and puts his hands on your showing bump now he’s just like I couldn’t help it baby you and little one just make me so happy and the guys are like aw little burky is having a baby burky and chirping him and mel’s just like how did you manage not to tell me??!! Me???!!! and you’re laughing and it’s just good

BASICALLY SOMEONE JUST NEEDS TO GIVE THIS MAN A BABY. like I mean I will ;) he is soft for kids and ugh adorable. Love.

—matty anon

(I may or may not be adding something like this to my wips and this is so soft ahhhh)

omg yes let’s talk about andre! and you’re right every european has a cum play/breeding kink and you can’t change my mind.

Ace Remington

➵  BASICS

NAME: Ace Remington GOES BY: Ace, Rem AGE: 23  BIRTHDAY: July, 14th BIRTHPLACE: TBC.  RESIDES: The Haven, 14 Kosher St, Apt B. GENDER: Male || Cis. ORIENTATION: Everyone. SPECIES: Human ROLE: Outsider

➵  TRAITS

POSITIVE: NEGATIVE:

➵ BIOGRAPHY

[triggers: parental death, murder, implied abuse, drugs, drug use, addiction, bipolar.]

Sometimes, words spoken in solitude; whispered beneath the layers of background noise are lost to the air, never to be known by more than the intended recipient. Other times, there’s invisible flies on walls, the kind that appear as half-wits, the disregarded; the incapable that no one pays an eye to because they’re not seen - do not make a sound to indicate they’re at all present in the moment.

Like a man without a home on the street, catches the backend of a conversation in the dead of night; witnesses the monsters in the dark beneath flimsy covers with a stench that matches the sewers that lay in ground metres up the street.

Nobody sees those types. No one considers the power of words spoken aloud - because they never know who’s listening.

And someone always is. The invisible are good at that.

Ears that can pull aces out their sleeves when time comes... because they’re not outspoken or imposing... but whilst you don’t see them...

They very much see you.

As powerful as magic is; as domineering as all the creatures of Calamity are, the weight of information - despite being its own weapon, is always forgotten, until it’s not.

And it’s a threat written at the front door; something for something.

Ace Remington puts himself in places by accident - really, most of the time it’s a genuine mistake. But he knows opportunity, and he knows what’s advantageous in his favour.

At least, he does in the few moments of sobriety he gets a week.

A stain to most, the way he manipulates for his own gain - listens with inebriated ears; sometimes can’t quite remember the truths he hears and improvises, all little snippets of information that he trades for his vices.

And he’s got just a few.

From what he remembers, it’s always been that way, parents that he’d listen to but remain invisible in the background as they titter on about everything in the world that isn’t him, finds a kind of game of it when a brother comes in; adopted, wants to talk like his tongue needs the daily exercise. And Ace has always been a good listener, it’s better that way, because when he does talk, it’s never particularly nice.

Just ask Matty.

Like the strange desire to absorb information, listen to voices that aren’t in his mind. Ace has a habit of addiction; his best friend that talks to him for hours; convinces him of how good they are together, that the thrill will never tire and brings about something more purposeful than wandering the streets of the parasitical infested state; he’ll never let his comrade free, the only thing he cares for if he ever had to pick something.

And besides the drugs themselves, Remington likes to sit on the edge of the end, and sometimes, if he’s lucky, he nearly gets there.

The same way that he found it addictive to pull the trigger twice after the first bullet splayed his father’s brains all over the living room walls.

Guess where that second bullet went... he saw dragons flying that night, the screams of a beast erupting flames over the carpets whilst he fought like a white knight against the mythical beast. 

You can ask Matias about the dragons too. He does like to talk. Ace has always just been a keen listener, his brother the storyteller. All the younger sibling remembers is laughing. 

A volcano; active and waiting to erupt, fill it with chemicals and it’ll react. A fine fucking definition of Ace Remington in all his volatility.

He listens, he trades what he remembers the next day and he shoots - all kinds of it.

Catch him one day and he’ll ask why whales have blowholes if they’re not for blowing, on another, he’ll ask what brain matter tastes like.

It’s when he’s not talking that people should be wary; means he’s listening.

Careful what’s said around the broker, he’s got too many aces to play, so make sure you’ve got a better hand if you want to play; and who has more than one ace up their sleeve?

➵ CONNECTIONS

LINCOLN REMINGTON / Father, deceased. ADELAIDE REMINGTON / Mother, deceased. MATIA “MATTY” DESOTO / Adoptive Brother, alive. ZANE SAXENA / Drug Dealer within Havelowe’s @ Sinsation.

➵ ADDITIONAL

Ace is an information broker and will acquire any and all favourable knowledge.

He will absolutely trade that for something as mundane as drugs, liquor and if he has access to it... will fuel his low-key V addiction.

As low-key as that gets at least.

Murdered both his parents in front of his brother on a fucking trip to the moon.

Volatile and chaotic, not usually at the same time - but it’s undecided if he’s better or worse sober.

Spoiler: he’s rarely ever sober, like, ever.

He will probably say out of pocket shit and will probably make people uncomfortable.

It’s an embrace it or gtfo situation.

Wears scars like they’re a fashion statement, usually from accidents he’s caused when fighting with lampposts or antagonising creatures and info-broking his ass out of there.

Appears moronic, genuinely. Probably knows your family’s heritage back thirty years if you give him opportunity to find out. Might even know how you lost an eye if it wasn’t him poking it.

If anyone ever sat him down, probably would diagnose him with seven different things and a big line of bipolar-y tendencies. Let’s not wake him up to that reality.

Whilst he’s a sponge for the things that shouldn’t be said aloud, there’s a safety net where memory doesn’t always serve following a state of collapse. Doesn’t remember his own name half the time, convinces himself it’s Ace because it’s easy to remember.

Drugs, sex and rock and roll should have been his era and he’ll probably tell everyone he meets that at least once. And he’s not apologising for it.

Has an unhealthy obsession with ice cream, all kinds, sometimes gets chased by ice cream monsters. Don’t worry too hard about it, he eats them. 

Cocky af because let’s face it, he should be dead already and knows it so, he’s livin’ it up in the form of a second fantasy land he disappears to in his head.

Her dad's a mechanic and used to bring her to work all the time

dead mum: which affected her ability to emote.

Works part time at the garage

Dad likes to bring gifts on their small catch-ups that happen every once in a while.

Sheeee. Suffers a bit of resting bitch face.

she's kinda stunted emotionally because she was raised by her dad, who, isn't great with emotions himself being a man's man and all.

She's very much a tomboy gal. Doesn't exactly get dressed up. because she finds it tiresome and not "her".

Also if she did/does have friends the nickname Nemo 100% crops up because it's sadly alll too fitting but also kinda sweet.

She's actually really into cars and mechanics. Which is one of the few good reasons her dad and her are close.

She's hard to get to know, very quiet. And if you're someone who dominates the conversation she won't speak up much, but you'll be surprised to how much she's listened.

Just because she looks tired and done doesn't actually mean she feels that way.

Samson (Lemonade boi)

His name is Samson, but he prefers Sun/Sunny. (Other more affectionate nicknames include Lemondrop and Sunflower.)

He really likes going out to markets and stuff like that, little stalls or knick knack shops to find the odd kinda items.

He also really likes wandering big forests. (Hes got some o that fae energy) He collects various cool stones/rocks/plants from some of them. He also has some small vials from waterfalls and ponds he’s encountered)

He wants to practice magic to become a witch! He loves the candles and rocks and other cool things that come with the craft. (He inherited things from his father)

He really likes loose fitting shirts too, like flowy things, ones with sleeves that drape past your fingers, or has extra fabric on the bottom that dangle down past hips. (Sometimes they come from the ladies section just because they’re softer and have more variety. Others from op shops and other niche little stores.)

He bought a cologne from a witch that looks cursed but the only curse is that it makes the one who puts it on smell like citrus..so not much of curse. (The bottle looks fuckin neato tho)

He looves fizzy drinks. Doesn’t mind his alcohol either, however it takes a surprising amount to get him on his ass despite looking like a serious lightweight.

He’s pretty average in build, bit of muscle in his arms, some fat on his thighs. Slight pouch of a tum (cause no ones flat and thats unrealistic :<)

He’s about 5′4. So not tall, but not the shortest of the short.

He kinda likes to backpack about. Not staying in places long if they get boring. Which means he is kinda jack of all trades when it comes to work, offering to fix things for pay, lots of casual work doing various things.(One of his favorites was helping a little old lady run a paint shop.)

He occasionally snorts when he laughs and tries not to.

He has his ears pierced, and he has a little yellow gemed stud in his nose.

The ring around his neck he found in the middle of a patch of mushrooms.

He has a couple other tattoos. One of them is of bubbles up his wrist :3 He also has some stars on his ankle, and a sunflower on one of his fingers on his left hand.

He’s not super in to gardening but he does have his lemon tree. He also wants to grow some mandarins

His eyes look silver in a lot of lights, but occasionally there’s some strange hints of yellow, and other times blue.

He has freckles!!!! that look alot like bubbles ;)

He has a twin brother called Fraser.

Scrunches his nose

Hides his laughter behind his hand

James & Ava

James: [okay so we all know the mood is that he sees whatever she's posted and literally goes there immediately with no thought of who else could also be cos he NEEDS to check that she's alright. The drama of it all] Ava: [but luckily no one is there and she'd be so shocked but also grateful 'cos no one wants to be alone and feeling unwell, esp. not in hospital] James: [when he'd have to say he was her brother so he can take her #awkward] Ava: [lollol finding that more amusing than you would otherwise 'cos concussion breaking your awks] James: [oh she'd be so cute I can't] Ava: [just hugging him so hard] James: [we all need that moment but sadly it cannot last forever because he'd have some driver doing circles endlessly cos there's nowhere to park at hospitals ever] Ava: [seriously, and it's so expensive] James: [when you were so desperate to get in there you didn't think about how long it could have taken like she could've been admitted and that driver is just lowkey out there for the rest of time] Ava: [lmao i wonder how long he'd wait for that bag before getting bored, luckily they'd low-key be ready to get rid 'cos too busy and overcrowded] James: [practically pushing her out the door as soon as they saw someone show up for her so he doesn't even have time to give her a feelsy speech lol] James: [just help her out to the car boy, you've had a lot of practice with drunk girls in heels and it'd be the same vibe] Ava: [just saying thank you over and over] James: [meanwhile he's asking her if she's okay over and over like every step they trying to take here] Ava: ['Oh God, you must think I'm so stupid, I swear, they came out of nowhere'] James: ['We both know you're not stupid, Ava' shout out to that text cleverness 5ever tbh 'I'm just glad you weren't seriously hurt'] Ava: ['How have you been, I've been so worried' shoutout to this concussion giving me shameless freedom lol] James: [when you can only shake your head because 1. you ain't been good 2. you don't wanna tell her any of it and 3. you don't think you deserve her worry/ want her to worry about you] Ava: [sad face] James: [stopping to stroke said face, don't fall over girl, he's got you] Ava: ['James-' and then just looking 'cos what can you say] James: [looking back at her cos likewise but then you gotta drop them eyes cos so sad] Ava: ['you look tired' and making more of an actual effort to get into this car] James: ['I am tired' but helping her in and doing her seatbelt for her because not gonna see her struggle ever, telling the driver her address because there's nowhere else you can take her but home even though you have no idea if as soon as you get there someone is gonna show up for her and you obviously don't want that] Ava: [patting your shoulder like 'you can come sleep' like no no one can babe] James: ['no' but a little smile cos she's cute af 'I'm supposed to keep you awake'] Ava: [when you make a face like 😏] James: ['by which, of course, I mean, you've got a 8 hour date with Edward Cullen ahead of you'] Ava: [grinning like a fool but then being like, wait 'you'll stay though, can you?'] James: ['I'm not going to leave you alone' oh the heavy unspoken implication that she might not be if the friends or fam descend 💔] Ava: [resting your head on him as a silent thank you but then lifting it like 'so awake, promise'[ James: [stroking her hair and keeping an eye like] Ava: [being like let me tell YOU a story and honestly God knows but it'd be cute and she'd be trying to match his storyteller energy] James: [when that's lowkey the moment he falls in love with her bye] Ava: [asking the driver to play the new moon soundtrack] James: [loling and honestly when was the last time he did that, we all know it was when they were together] Ava: [live the emo life and love it babes] James: [he's GOTTA dance in his seat to keep her awake, no other reason #notanerd lol] Ava: [just clapping and cheering him on like nothing to see here driver God bless] James: [so not what that man was expecting to 👀 or 👂] Ava: [freaking out drivers is low-key a fave] James: [the one time you're happy about London traffic tbh] Ava: [even though we ain't gonna interrupt, you don't know that boy] James: [speaking of, probably send a text or something to check on the kids because you just ran like assumedly they at their grandparents but] Ava: [never leaving 'em with Chlo we all know] James: [lord her and Jay would kill each other] Ava: [I'd genuinely be worried for her safety so don't blame you remotely boy, least her parents are invested] James: [literally though & you can have those grandparents forever babs we ain't taking them away from you] Ava: [awkward that your mum never shows but that's just that on that] James: [lbr that's for the best stick with your dads kiddos] Ava: [we all know it, even if Matty might not end up remembering much] James: [Ava lowkey her mum now oops] Ava: [and Jay's actual auntie...lol what a tangled web we weave boo] James: [at least they can all stay connected] Ava: [true facts] James: [makes my heart happy even if it's weird] Ava: [lean in to how weird this family is James] James: [they weird af but they're better than the one he's got #noshadetoTeddythough] Ava: [all the shade to you Chlo, sort it out] James: [her poor future children & husband] Ava: [honestly, good luck] James: [he'd have to be about everything she is or else what the fuck] James: [anyway we've been sidetracked get to Baze's house you two] Ava: [movie marathon awaits, what else do we vibe or shall we just try and see what comes out, like] James: [let's just run with it and see what happens because we extra and anything could be said and done tbh] James: [imagine how awkward it'd be when they get there because he'd have to send her in first and just be shitting himself in the car like is anyone there or no] Ava: [at least you know full well no one is there 'cos business trips forever so you're just at the door shaking your head and doing the 'come on' gesture] James: [he'd just help her to the sofa like immediately & get her blankets and pillows and painkillers (even though it wouldn't touch a concussion headache) and a phone charger and everything else she could possibly need cos Chloe's got him trained like a dog] Ava: [low-key pulling at him, gently, like boy sit down] James: [when you are then looking at her like what did I forget/ do wrong before you realise] Ava: [squeezing his hand because you can only say thank you so many times, putting the film on but then pausing and gasping so dramatically 'coffee, I promised you coffee' and going to get up like can you be careful please] James: [thinking she's in pain or something because of that gasp so being at her side like 0-1000 and slowing her down cos they can do it together thank you] Ava: [making a face at herself like ffs when she catches on 'I'm not trying to age you' and touching his non-grey hair and wrinkles like totally necessary yep] James: ['but you're offering me coffee, what's next red meat or red wine?' but no actual shade cos we both know he doesn't care and none of that is what's aging him anyway, taking her hand from his face and gently kissing said hand before handholding to lead her to her own kitchen like let's do this] Ava: ['I don't know where my cigarettes are' shrugs and smiles like sorry not sorry, smiles even harder but lowkey stops breathing when, kissing ontop of where he just kissed her hand, then getting to this all-singing all-dancing coffee machine 'you have to pick the most daring option, one you've never, ever tried before, okay?' and waggling her finger like so serious about this] James: [takes his own cigarettes out of his pocket and slides the pack over to her 'okay' and does pick, really concentrating on the decision even though there'd be so much shit he hasn't tried and we all know he could just pick option 1 and be done] Ava: [takes one out and puts it behind her ear for later 'cos no need to light up in your parents home, just watching him 'cos so cute and then nodding like yes, good choice and picks the same, setting up this machine 'cos they're always more confusing and/or time-consuming than they need to be I swear] James: [where's the lie you gotta have the knack I swear, his turn to watch her now though because she's beautiful doing anything ever and he missed her so bad] Ava: [ahh coffee goodtimes forever] James: [he needs it cos he is tired af so thanks Ava you babe] Ava: ['do we talk about what happened, or do we write it off?' when you just saying this casually whilst waiting for your coffees] James: ['I don't know' because he is genuinely torn between wanting to and also not] Ava: ['Wait and see how we feel' 'cos no rush or pressure here 'you better carry these though' 'cos we don't need burns as well ty] James: ['wait here a minute for me' because carries the drinks through and then comes back for her because why not carry her though as well obvs] Ava: [does and loves it 'I've missed you, you know'] James: ['I know now' just giving her 😍 casually 'I've missed you too'] Ava: [😍 right back 'Ask anyone' when you're talking about your mood but you realize that sounds like you been telling the world lol 'I mean, I've been a delight' 🙄] James: [when you shake your head like no it's okay 'I overreacted about your cousin, I'm sorry' takes a deep breath remembering that whole sad ending moment 'And I'm sorry for fucking up the start of your summer' because she loves it and he knows] Ava: ['I understand why, understood, whatever. And I am still sorry, I was just too excited and-' sighs like, you know, squeezing his hand again 'I promise, that's all sorted now though' 'cos clearly told her it's over by now, 'cos thought it was anyway; she nods like thanks but shrugs like it's okay too, don't worry 'Sure even I can't be grumpy in the Seychelles, like'] James: [blatantly almost kissing her because he understands the whole being too highkey thing because he was (*cough* is) too but doesn't because she's going away 'when are you going?'] Ava: [sad face like you didn't just say you aren't gonna be grumpy 'when my parents get back, couple of days'] James: [strokes her face again like he did earlier 'you'll feel better by then' because someone's meant to watch you for 48 hours actually NHS website says] Ava: [😈 me 😇 her looking at him 'how did you even- why- I-' continuously cutting herself off 'cos you know he was checking in on you now and you know he came without hesitating so it doesn't need to be said 'Oh, James'] James: ['Ava' saying her name with SO MUCH feeling that I cannot 'I had to' when you mean so many things by that like you had to go but you have to stay now and you had to make sure she was okay today but also you had to keep checking on her the whole time] Ava: [definitely gonna go in to kiss him can't stop that soz] James: [we all know it was only a matter of time and that this is gonna turn into a not at all casual make out session] Ava: [you honestly deserve it lads] James: [that coffee gonna be cold and they won't even notice] Ava: [the movies are also not being watched lmao but no one cares rn] James: [on pause forever sorry not sorry] James: [but eventually like after AN AGE one of them should lean on the remote or whatever so it starts playing and they're like wtf] Ava: [when you shit yourself like who is here but then loving 'cos hi Edward] James: [we all shitting ourselves and all loling] Ava: ['he's very possessive' no lie] James: [looking at Edward and then kissing her again like when you're trying to make someone jealous] Ava: [when you're loling too hard into his mouth like 'scuse me] James: [kissing her neck instead so she can have her adorable lol] Ava: [reacting to that in a v different way] James: [we back at it again at krispy kreme soz twilight saga] Ava: [i swear to god the ily curse is so real] James: [this always happens to us, don't talk for a bit lads, wink wonk] Ava: [its because we give them such high-pressure situations but yes, you should fully hook up 'cos haven't yet] James: [I wonder if the orgasm headache thing would work for a concussion one or not] Ava: [my boo says #experiment] James: [imma google it but I don't expect an answer] James: [nobody is telling me but if it can help a migraine I don't see why it wouldn't] Ava: [you'll be fine bitch, just a shameless excuse that he needs to hang around longer] James: [we should totally also do the shameless thing when he falls asleep and then wakes up immediately but is like oh no how long was I asleep because not only worried about her we know] Ava: [for sure, just there chilling like 🥰 'not long, but you looked peaceful'] James: ['I was' and more 😍 'I am' just snuggling happily because deserved af] Ava: [kissing the top of his head 'good' then lying down and snuggling harder 'I'm so glad you're here, that you're okay'] James: ['I'm glad that I'm here & that you're okay' kissing her forehead and holding her so tightly because he was so worried that something much worse had happened to her] Ava: ['It was kinda scary how much I missed you- like I said I WAS extra but I think, no, I still am, I can't lie to you'[ James: [when you are just falling so hard for her rn smiling like look at this perfect 😇 'you don't have to miss me any longer, minus however long you're spending in the Seychelles, of course'] Ava: ['Yeah?' trying but failing not to sound so hopeful 'And two weeks, so not as long as it has been, not that I was definitely counting or anything'] James: ['I was afraid, no, I am afraid but very few things have ever scared me as much as when I saw you were in hospital & I thought-'] Ava: [just holding him back even tighter like you could not be closer 'I'm so sorry I scared you, I won't ever do it again, even if I get hit by something more substantial than a 90lbs mum on a lightweight bike' and shaking her head with a lil lol 'cos it is funny even though it can be as bad as a car crash actual sometimes] James: ['You scare me in the best ways, you don't have to stop, I don't want you to' because think of the new things he's already done and the new things he's already felt, it makes me emosh goodbye] Ava: [when that's the hottest thing you've ever heard like 'scuse me round two] James: [you've actually got all night for once so make the most of it lads] Ava: [like literally no one needs it more than him so I'm allowing it, there's enough shit happened, happening and still to come] James: [amen to that] Ava: [happy bubble forever] James: [if only like, he is NOT gonna wanna leave in the morning but maybe we could say that like Jay has a playdate with friends or something cos soz babe you can't keep a secret so he just gets the baby and comes back] Ava: [that would be a moment] James: [just casually meet each other how cute] Ava: [have a normal, happy day like you're meant to oh] James: [you all deserve it truly] Ava: [meet your potential future stepchild babe] James: [do we wanna have them go out or stay in?] Ava: [🤔 obvs really want them to go to Kensington Park 'cos Peter Pan and like obvs I doubt anyone who would be bothered to report to Chloe is gonna be there but it is risky so maybe save it idk] James: [we will bookmark that for the future because MUST but they could take Frank on a walk somewhere cos we ain't referenced that sweet sir even if it's just through the streets like] Ava: [that's a good shout, you better be a good boy lol] James: [and don't cockblock them rn please] James: [they'd look like a little fam, I am FINE] Ava: [and lowkey behave more like one in one day like the bar is so low tah Chlo] James: [the scolding tea] James: how are you feeling? Ava: 😊 So happy Ava: Only a bit tired from the whole staying awake thing and you keeping me awake, like 😏 Ava: oh, and Frank said you've redeemed yourself so well done there too Ava: how're you and the girls? James: I'm happy to hear all of that James: has your dizziness gone? James: we're fine, but tired too Ava: Yeah Ava: barely a headache Ava: and my parents get in early AM so I should be all set to go when they do get here James: how much packing is there left to do? Ava: All of it but deciding which 14 bikinis I wanna take shouldn't take too long James: are you sure? I think it would take me a really long time to decide Ava: I'll put some stories up Ava: You can help me Ava: I reckon I need your clearly more considered opinion James: of course you do James: you wouldn't want to spend the entirety of your holiday wishing you'd chosen differently Ava: so true Ava: especially as I'm not allowed to pack my pout James: everyone is well aware of how important the pursuit of a tan is to you, darling, anything that jeopardises that, well, it's bound to be very pout inducing James: you'll be forgiven Ava: I don't know if my family is as forgiving as you Ava: perhaps they don't like my pout as much Ava: they definitely aren't as supportive in bikini related decision making James: I'll dedicate paragraphs to both James: multiple lengthy ones Ava: It'll seem gratuitous in the movie but nothing is too much for the book James: as long as it remains included in the director's cut James: or else I will be devastated Ava: I'll demand it in my contract Ava: I think it'll be a first in favour of taking your clothes off instead of keeping 'em on James: thank you James: you do deserve a multitude of firsts, honestly Ava: you deserve so much Ava: much more than I'm allowed to give you Ava: that reminds me Ava: as I can't give you anything as a thank you, I've had to get creative James: so much of what I deserve is negative & there is nothing you owe to me in any capacity, thanks included James: but I'd never want to discourage creativity Ava: Shh sh Ava: in the spirit of firsts and trying new things Ava: when you're all less worn out, go to [a sassy but kid-friendly cafe/restaurant that's a bit out there and exotic and definitely nowhere Chloe has ever made you take her] and tell 'em you're eating on me, yeah Ava: then when I get back and you're free, you're coming over and I'm cooking James: Ava Ava: It's already arranged, I go there all the time, it's the 2nd best Brazilian food I've had James: you've been to Brazil for the 1st, haven't you? I can tell Ava: Actually no, mores the pity Ava: but my Uncle is Brazilian and a chef, my cousin too Ava: having a big weird family has unexpected perks Ava: if you like it, I already have a recipe lined up that's meant to be 🔥 but even a novice like me can master it James: you'll have to wait patiently for my review because I regrettably can't send you a picture of my face after the 1st mouthful to serve as one, but okay Ava: I'll do my best Ava: though having any patience when it comes to you doesn't seem to be my strong suit Ava: arguably not a virtue I'm known for, ever, but especially now James: I'll do my best not to miss you so hard that it's physically painful but that doesn't appear to be my strong suit either & as previously agreed, I won't make any promises I'm forced to immediately break Ava: Oh Ava: Knowing it wasn't just me finding out that painful cliche is painfully real is somehow a comfort, to know you'll want to avoid the feeling as much as I do from now on but it also hurts me even more, the idea of you having to feel it at all in the first place Ava: but there is no conflict in just how hard I'm looking forward to seeing you again after this ill-timed holiday James: I don't ever want you to be in pain because of me, I have to insist on only the good cliches going forward James: devastatingly a postcard can't be included in that Ava: Hmm, got any long-lost great aunties I can pretend to be? 🤔😂 James: If I do my wife is bound to be aware of them, their current financial situation & any possible health concerns they are facing Ava: Valid Ava: Don't need to give her any more reason to 💀💀💀 me Ava: At least no holiday is complete without the obligatory narcissistic poolside shoot James: suffice to say I've never had a complete holiday, in that case Ava: I bet you've had to be cameraman plenty though Ava: so rude when you're so nice to look at James: & yet I've never been trusted to pick a filter Ava: 🙄 Ava: does she not know that you're an artiste James: no, it's our secret Ava: 😊 I like that James: I like you Ava: I like that more James: I wish I could see you again before you go Ava: Me too Ava: I kinda wish I weren't going James: how early are your parents getting back exactly?

Ava: I think it's strength Ava: You can't necessarily stop shit happening or get shit out of your life Ava: no matter how strong Ava: and you manage to do all the shit you have to regardless James: I'd like to think you're right Ava: Then you should Ava: I encourage it Ava: 🤓 me James: you are undeniably clever Ava: Try to be Ava: when I'm not standing in the middle of cycle paths, obviously James: I heard you say that bike came out of nowhere Ava: Yeah Ava: I miss you already Ava: Frank is not as good a nurse, like at all James: if you can fall asleep now, I'd feel less guilty about the prospect of asking you not to later James: should I hypothetically be able to get away Ava: 🛌🏃 Ava: Promise James: I can't give you a promise back Ava: I know Ava: but this way, I either stay asleep and that's that Ava: or I get the best surprise to wake me up James: what did I do to deserve you? Ava: This is the part where I say something very bad but Ava: you don't seem capable Ava: you're just James: whatever it was, I need to know so I can keep doing it Ava: just be you Ava: another cliche you've proven to be true and real James: this fortnight without you is going to be really cliche James: there's no chance of it existing beyond the 1st draft Ava: not even for my eyes only? James: well James: maybe Ava: Please please please James: okay James: you are my fairest critic & you do have beautiful eyes Ava: Yours are better Ava: but I won't be too jealous if I get to look at them more James: I definitely can't promise not to be envious of everyone in the Seychelles who will get to look at you more than I can Ava: Do you ever get a decent lunchbreak? Ava: we could facetime James: I'll figure something out James: because my dad takes the longest lunch breaks, you'd be forgiven for thinking it's the 80s Ava: 😏 we love a throwback 🙄 James: I'll take Matty to work with me, she'll distract whoever I need her to Ava: She is very cute Ava: I see it James: I won't be saying anything the like of that if she won't sleep tonight though Ava: 🤞 for you and her Ava: shame she's not yet at the walking stage Ava: Frank is so 💤 James: I can't keep her in any kind of routine, it's frustrating for both of us Ava: That's hard James: it's harder for her than it is for me, she never knows what's happening Ava: She'll get there Ava: I was the worst baby Ava: hopefully before you totally lose your mind, 'course James: I find it impossible to believe you weren't 😇 Ava: I was pretty premmie so my poor parents were confined to perpetual bright light for ages when I got home James: both the girls were so late James: that was an entirely different struggle Ava: I can imagine how delightful Ava: usually excusable but when you set the bar low to begin with 😬 James: the last thing I want to do is badmouth her to you, but as we know, sometimes things write themselves Ava: I feel you Ava: not a cliche I particularly wanna be either James: of course not Ava: but you can vent, you know Ava: I don't even have to reply, just if you need to put it somewhere James: no, I can't Ava: okay, just a suggestion James: so much of this is already not fair to you, Ava Ava: I don't think it is Ava: you've never lied about any of it, you're always realistic about what you can and can't give me Ava: and I'd like to help, in any tiny way I'm able James: you don't know what she's like & I'd rather you didn't have to know James: let's keep it at you don't do sympathy Ava: I know very little but that's not positive so it doesn't take your author level of imagination if I wanna go there without your guidance Ava: and it isn't sympathy but okay Ava: I won't mention her and you don't have to either James: I just can't have you seeing me differently because Ava: I'd never see you differently because of what she's like as a person James: it's too big of a risk for me to take, that you'll end up thinking less of me than you do now Ava: You can trust me Ava: but you don't have to Ava: I won't push anything, I don't need to Ava: as much as I want to take things fast in so many respects, I'm never going to take it where you don't want it James: it isn't you I don't trust James: I'm not a reliable narrator, she's made sure I'm not Ava: However...intertwined and diluted you feel your story got, because of her, because of whatever Ava: it's always gonna be your story to tell, if you want it Ava: and I'll always listen to how you tell it James: Ava Ava: James James: if it was a story I was in control of I'd come to the airport & tell you not to go James: cliche or not Ava: and I'd stay Ava: but that's far too much like a happy ending and we've only just begun James: you're right again Ava: don't sound so surprised 😉 James: I was actually trying to decide where it falls on the scale of ideas & habits, good, bad or somewhere in between James: that you always seem to be Ava: Have you drawn a conclusion yet? James: I couldn't possibly tell you James: you're supposed to be asleep Ava: damn Ava: you'll tell me in the morning? James: yes Ava: Okay, I'll go, as long as you know it is so reluctantly it's practically under protest James: & I won't stay here hoping you don't, as long as you know it's under identical conditions Ava: Noted Ava: Goodnight and sweet dreams for whenever that happens for you then, love James: thank you

I saw that as Matty because it starts with “here we go again” and she says “just say when, I’d play again”. Like she’s saying she will always come back to him

but here we go again is also the “I’m getting tired even for a Phoenix” vibes for me? She’s not saying she necessarily wants to be with the guy in that song, she’s just saying it’s tiring af. I can hear a Tatty reading but to me - and as with Black Dog I’m not truthering, I’m just sharing what I think - she’s saying like they kept trying and trying and trying and it just never worked so she felt like he smashed up his favorite toy (which was her) and she knows he still loves her in his own way but it’s not enough anymore?

[raysofcrosby]

Yes to all the Matty Tkachuk fics lol, I thank everything that people finally realize he’s attractive af

lmao y’all are gonna tire me out with matty fics but also he’s just so fun to write for??

honestly i didn’t care for him up until last season when covid hit 🥴 he just wasn’t it for me and then all of a sudden it was like oh hello there…sir rat 👀🥰

Book Forty-Two: Bag of Bones

“The most brilliantly drawn character in a novel is but a bag of bones...”

Here’s a peek behind the curtain of my oh-so-glamorous blogging life. My eleven year old daughter insisted on calling this book, “Bag-o-Bones!” and every time she saw me reading it, she’d loudly ask, “Have they found the bag-o-bones yet??” Side note: I think she’d love this book, and am going to push her to try it once she’s done with Dorothy Must Die. And also? August 17th and the start of the (virtual) school year can’t come fast enough. Please and thank you. 

Bag of Bones is the perfect book to recommend to readers who claim, “Not to like Stephen King.” It doesn’t have the absurd (murderous clowns); but it does have the spookiness and fine writing craftsmanship you’d expect from Steve. It’s a treat for new and Constant Readers alike. I had read this book when it first came out and really enjoyed it, but now as a Constant Reader, I’m tickled by the number of Easter eggs I found. In no particular order, you’ve got:

A partial setting in Derry, Maine

Thad Beaumont (The Dark Half)

The writer, Bill Denbrough (It)

Roland and Rolanda (Dark Tower)

Norris Ridgewick and Alan Pangborn (Dark Half, Needful Things, Gerald’s Game)

Shawshank Prison

Juniper Hill Asylum

And... my absolute favorite line.. our main character, Mike Noonan, is out for breakfast when none other than Ralph Roberts slides into the booth and asks him, “Everything going all right? I only ask because you look tired. If it’s insomnia, I can sympathize, believe me...” I loved that scene so much. 

Bag of Bones starts with the unexpected death of Johanna (Jo) Noonan. Her husband Mike, a successful novelist, is plunged into deep despair after her loss, and has a bad case of writers block. In addition to being a spooky ghost story, Bag of Bones is also a tribute to modern fiction. The number of author and book references is dizzying. 

After a trip to Key Largo, Mike decides he needs to leave Derry for a bit, and head out to his and Jo’s lake house: Sara Laughs in the tiny town of TR-90. He’s hoping it might clear his head, and maybe revive his writing. 

Almost immediately upon returning to Sara Laughs, he makes the acquaintance of Mattie and Kyra Devore; a precocious mother/daughter pair. Kyra in particular catches Mike’s attention (not because she was wandering down the middle of the street unattended); but because he and Jo often talked about naming their unborn daughter Kia. Mike finds the coincidence uncanny. He’s drawn to Mattie (despite her young age); but she blows him off, and tells him it’s not a good time for her and Kyra to be making new friends. 

Understatement of the century. 

Mattie had been married to Lance Devore, who was estranged from his wealthy family, and wanted nothing to do with him once he got with Mattie. Lance died in a freak lightning storm, and since then, Max Devore, Lance’s father, had been fighting for custody of Kyra. Mike is warned off by basically everyone in town; they tell him to keep his nose out of Devore business if he knows what’s good for him. 

Buuuut Mike can’t stop thinking about Mattie and Kyra. And it doesn’t help that strange stuff has been going on at Sara Laugh’s. We’re talking ringing bells, refrigerator magnets rearranging themselves into cryptic messages, strage dreams, and voices. And, he finds out Jo had been out to Sara Laugh’s several times without telling him. One time, she was spotted with a handsome fella at a baseball game.She had also quit all her volunteer activities, and had been asking a lot of questions about the history of TR-90 and Sara Tidwell (the namesake of Sara Laugh’s). Mike doesn’t know what to make of any of this, especially considering he found out Jo was pregnant when she died. 

Against the advice of everyone in town, Mike starts spending time with Mattie and Kyra. He’s smitten with Mattie, and thinks Kyra is pretty much the cutest thing ever. Max Devore isn’t happy Mike is fraternizing with the girls, and in a strange sequence of events, uses his absurdly large motorized wheelchair to push Mike off a cliff into the water, and then his assistant, Rogette Whitmore (spoiler: his daughter) pelts Mike with rocks. 

Mike is understandably pissed after the rock pelting episode, and gets in touch with the best child custody attorney he can find for Mattie. The lawyer discovers something is rotten in the state of TR-90. There seems to be an inherent bias towards Max Devore, right down to the guardian ad litem assigned to the case. Mattie’s new lawyer, John, sews up a pretty neat case for why Mattie should keep custody of Kyra; and everyone celebrates. Well, everyone except Max Devore, who puts a bag over his head and kills himself. The town is PISSED: Max Devore was a huge benefactor, and they see Mike as the outsider who stirred up trouble with the young townie whore. His maintenance man leaves him, his cleaning lady turns her back on him... Mike is shocked. He didn’t expect that type of reaction. 

Meanwhile, his dreams are getting more vivid, and they involve Kyra. She is having the same dreams he is. A lot of these dreams center around Sara Tidwell; a blues signer and former resident of TR-90. Before her death, Jo had been doing some research about Sara, and the death of her son, Kito. It appears she had been uncovering some truths about the history of TR-90 that residents were none too happy about. It seems like Jo is trying to send Mike messages, but he’s not understanding them. And Mike is getting the impression Sara is not a helpful, benevolent spirit. She’s vengeful af. And he’s trying to figure out why. 

Mike, Mattie, Kyra, John and a few more associated friends celebrate Mattie’s win, and impending fortune... because Rogette called to inform her Max left all his money to her and Kyra. And Mattie makes it clear she wants to hook up with Mike. Winning! But then some townies conduct a drive-by shooting, and kill Mattie. Losing! 

Mike scoops up Kyra, and takes her back to Sara Laughs, where a massive storm breaks. Mike ends up cracking some of the puzzles Jo left for him, and discovers he needs to dig up the remains of Sara and Kito (the bag of their bones, if you will), and pour lye on their corpses to set them free. Come to find out, Sara had been brutally raped and murdered, and her son Kito had been drown by ancestors of several prominent TR-90 townsfolk, and they tried to cover it up. Why? Because they didn’t like a black woman living in their town. And she had the audacity to laugh at one of them. Yep... yet another book where art is imitating real life. The only thing Sara Tidwell was guilty of was forgetting that living while black is a crime in this country. 

So, Mike kills the evil spirits, and finds Rogette kidnapped Kyra. He gets her back, takes out Rogette, and they all live happily ever after. Well, kind of. Kyra goes into foster care, and Mike works to become her legal guardian. He realizes Jo was the love of his life after all (the handsome dude she was spotted with was her brother), and Kyra was the daughter they never got to have together. 

It’s a damn good story, with plenty of twists, and lots of Maine flavor. I loved it, and continue to recommend it to people looking for a spooky beach read. 

There was the one Dark Tower reference; and a Dahmer reference! It’s the second one I’ve found since starting my Constant Reader journey. That’s always fun... it’s been a while since we had a Wisconsin reference.

Next up is Storm of the Century. I initially assumed it was something King had been contracted to write. Nope! He thought it might be fun to try his hand a screenplay, and find a buyer for it later. I’ve never read it, and I’ve never seen the television series, but it’s already got a sick Dolores Claiborne reference, so I’m here for it. 

Until next time, Long Days & Pleasant Nights, Rebecca
