@tagminibang

For @soniabigcheese // @followthepaintbrush

Based on this piece of art!

Something about this piece and the way they are looking at each other so desperately reminded me so strongly of that one Fitzsimmons scene in Agents of Shield, so this is partially based on that as well. I had so much fun looking through all your art @soniabigcheese​, and I hope you enjoy!

“Hey, Pen?”

Penelope lifted her head towards the man who occupied the small space with her.

His face was illuminated by the small amount of light that came from his torch and her compact, and Penelope could see the harsh bruising that covered his left temple.

“Yeah?” Her voice sounded scratchy to her ears, which was a result of all the dust that had kicked up around them, and the coughing fit that had followed.

“When Virgil gets here, he’ll only be able to take one of us up at a time,” Gordon explained, though she already expected as much. “You should go up first.”

“What? No, it should be you.” Penelope couldn’t believe her ears, and she walked across the small space to stand across from him. She had already resigned herself to the fact she would go up second, and for good reason. “You’re hurt!”

Aside from the bruising on his face from a possible concussion, plus the broken arm that he had fished out a sling from his sash for, he probably had other injuries that they hadn’t realised yet. He was the one who protected her from the rocks when the cave began to collapse, so he was the one who should be saved first.

“You’re hurt too.” With his good arm, he pointed to her fingers that were crudely held together with the best splint Gordon could make with his limited supplies.

They hurt like hell and were probably broken, but it paled in comparison to Gordon’s injuries.

“Besides, I’m used to situations like this,” Gordon continued. “This is my job, which is to save people. I wouldn’t be doing my job if I saved myself before you.”

“This is my job too,” she argued back. “I may not find myself trapped in caves as much as you do, but I can handle myself.”

“I know that, but… I couldn’t take it if something happened to you.” Gordon’s voice lowered and his eyes briefly flickered away.

Penelope felt her cheeks heat up. She didn’t know why those words made her feel like she suddenly had butterflies in her stomach, especially as they came from Gordon. However, this was not the time to dwell on it, so she shook off whatever those feelings were.

“Well, I also don’t want anything to happen to you.”

They both knew what they were really arguing for here. The cave surrounding them was precariously held together. One shift of a rock, a small quake, it could all send the rest of it tumbling down on top of them. It was a miracle they still had this small, safe pocket.

Every second that passed was another moment closer to them not making it out of this cave, so the chances of them both making it out of there was slim. Penelope had trust in Gordon’s brothers to do everything it took, but even they couldn’t stop a cave from falling on their heads.

And Penelope couldn’t live with herself if she made it out of there and Gordon didn’t.

She was stubborn, and was determined to keep fighting the other man until he listened to her.

However, before Penelope could argue further, Gordon continued.

“Pen-” He hesitated, and his voice shifted. With his good hand, he rubbed the back of his neck as he cast his eyes to the floor.

It made Penelope pause. Gordon never seemed shy, not like he did at that moment. Despite her thoughts and the pressing time limit they had, she waited for him to continue.

“You mean so much to me. So much more than anyone else,” he eventually said as he dropped his hand and lifted his eyes to meet hers. There was a vulnerability in them that she had never seen in the other man. “I was too scared to tell you sooner, but now I’m afraid I’ll never get another chance.”

He took a step closer and she didn’t move, either because she was stunned by the words, or because she didn’t want to move away from him.

“I really like you, Penelope. Since the day I met you, I knew how I felt about you.”

He lifted a hand and brushed his thumb against her cheek, like he was wiping away a bit of dirt, before he tucked back a piece of her hair.

“You don’t have to feel the same way. I just wanted you to know.”

Penelope’s heart was thumping rapidly in her chest as she stood unable to move. They were standing so close to each other now, their faces only inches apart. He held her gaze, and she couldn’t look away from his eyes.

The trance was broken by a loud noise above them, and small rocks started to fall around them, landing in their hair. They both quickly glanced up, but things thankfully seemed to settle. Hopefully, it was just a result of Virgil getting close to them.

When she looked back at the other man, Gordon was already stepping away.

“We’re not fighting about this. You’re going first.” Gordon’s tone left no room for argument.

“Gordon…” She finally found her voice, not that she knew what to say.

What was she meant to say?

“I’m almost there, coming in from the west,” Virgil’s voice cut through, ending any further words between the two of them.

She didn’t know what direction west was, but Gordon appeared to, as he grasped her wrist and pulled her to one side of their small space.

“FAB,” Gordon replied to his brother as he tapped his sash.

Penelope couldn’t look away from Gordon, but the man seemed to ignore her, as he stared at a spot in the ceiling. She could still feel the touch of his glove on her cheek.

Anything that could have been said between them was swallowed by the loud noises of machinery and crumbling rocks as more dust was kicked about.

When it settled and things grew quiet again, a hole was revealed in the ceiling, along with Virgil, who was lowering himself to the ground by a rope attached to his harness.

“How are you both doing?” He placed the tool he had been using to cut the hole by his feet as he reached the ground. He had already been informed of their injuries after he demanded a status report when the cave first collapsed, but he still looked them over.

“We’re fine.” Gordon replied before she could. Then, he gave her a gentle push towards the other man. “Take Penelope up first. I can wait.”

Penelope went to protest, but when she looked at him, he gave her a watery smile, and she found she couldn’t.

Before she knew it, she was wearing a harness and Virgil had an arm around her as he prepared for their ascent.

“You’ll be alright, yeah? I’ll only be a few minutes.”

Penelope realised he was talking to Gordon, to which the man replied with a smile she could see through and a thumbs up.

“I’ll be waiting.”

As they started to make their way out of the cave, Penelope caught sight of Gordon one last time. He was waving at her, but she caught something in his eyes, something that was shared only between the two of them. Then, he was gone from her sight as her vision was replaced with the walls of the hole Virgil had created, and then a much bigger cavern.

The air felt fresher and cooler, and she no longer felt so claustrophobic. Virgil lowered them both onto the ground, and then got to detaching her harness from his rope.

His movements were swift and it was clear he wanted to get back down to Gordon as quickly as he could, but it was too late.

Suddenly, the ground began to shift, and Penelope was reminded of the first quake that had trapped them in the first place.

Her heart plummeted.

Gordon.

Her mind was yelling his name, and it took her a moment to realise Virgil was yelling it too. He rushed over to the hole he had created, to find it had been blocked once more.

No.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Don't worry he's fiiiiiine. Virgil will get him out, though maybe he'll forget everything he just said 🤭

Okay for the first time I'm posting a fic as a link and making this an AO3 only fic! The reason is purely the formatting - this story takes place partially as prose and partially as text messages. It was a lot of fun to conceptualise and I had to do a fair amount of research into coding the work skin and then the html of the fic itself and I'm very grateful to the AO3 authors who've shared their expertise so willingly <3 The end result is super cool (in my unbiased opinion!) and I'm very proud of it :D

@gumnut-logic very patiently read it through and calmed my nerves and honestly everyone who listened to my coding grumbles (too many to count both in AND out of the fandom) you all rock :D

So this is the final Gordon fic I have for you all - posting as his birthday comes to an end in the far far west of the planet <3

WARNING FOR GRIEVING A PET (one of his beautiful fishies :( )

Gordon's lost a beloved pet and going through the initial grieving process. Ft. Penelope and Alan with some Pen and Ink.

New chapter, wooooo!

Only took me like three weeks. It's a beast though, and needed to be handled carefully.

They say there are two sides to every story, two sides to every coin, two people that make or break a relationship.

Here's that story.

More Thunderbirds Are Go comics! 🚀✨

It's been a while but I've had the first two lying around for months waiting to post a full set! In which neurodivergent John sets off people's AI detectors, gets bullied for his fashion choices, and Penelope battles with her conflicting standards when it comes to Gordon...

Recommendation to mutuals: I really loved Thunderbirds Are Go!

The rescues have the right balance between being based on future technologies and grounded in the real world where it could theoretically be possible. It carries the spirit of the original of how the rescues would be so nail biting because of what could likely go wrong.

There's also certain improvement to the original when it comes to characters. The Tracy Brothers and Kayo have more identifiable personalities with the brothers feeling like, well, brothers who'll roast each other playfully but be there for each other come what may.

You even have Parker being unscrupulous at times with episode revolving around his "misspent youth" and how he values the second chance he got.

Perhaps the real star of the show is that of the model environments that the CGI characters and vehicles interact with. It sort of carries on the spirit of Supermarionation by why of puppeting the CG models across real life construsts. Sometimes I can't always tell which setting is real or animated.

The first two seasons are on Amazon Prime with clips of it on YouTube. Look up the launches for the vehicles and tell me that they aren't epic as all hell.

For @cg29 who requested: Viking AU with the Thunderbirds boys

I'm sorry it's taken so long CG and you've likely forgotten you requested this, so hopefully this is a nice surprise! I know nothing about vikings so too much research went into this XD

He pushed his way through the crowd. He didn’t have long before he had to leave, but he wasn’t going to go away for weeks without saying goodbye.

Gordon looked at the faces of everyone he passed, trying to find her. The market was busy, and he didn’t think he would have time to search everywhere. That was if she was even here, but he had to take his chances as he didn’t have the time to look anywhere else.

“Gordon!”

Gordon’s heart soared as he heard the familiar voice, and he turned in the direction it came from.

Keep Reading on AO3

the fact that there are more fics under the pippa pentangle tag than there are under the main character of the whole show when pippa is in literally 2 episodes is so funny to me

Another ficlet for the Thunderbirds One Prompt challenge :D

Lady Penelope at Gordon’s bedside because he went and got himself shot... slightly angsty pen and ink, I should probably wait until tomorrow to reread before posting bc it’s inching ever closer to midnight but yolo I guess :P

---

Penelope’s eyes burned with the effort to keep them open, fighting against every instinct to creep away and curl up in a corner in restless sleep. Or, even worse, she could sleep fitfully, undisturbed by the notion that Gordon might not return to them after all.

She stroked the back of his hand with her thumb, a gentle reassurance that she was here, that she had never left. Perhaps that had been selfish, she reflected. She certainly hadn’t any kind of good reason to insist on staying, no claim of familial bond, no precise promise that tied them together. They’d wasted too much time dancing around each other, and now she sat and waited as she’d always sworn she’d never do for anyone ever again, ready to throw all caution to the wind.

If only Gordon would wake up.

If only he weren’t so ridiculously big-hearted, if only he weren’t so noble and brave, if only he possessed even a single ounce of the self-preservation that had been drummed into her since childhood.

If only he had thought about himself for a second, and not her.

But then, she might not love him at all.

A creaking footstep in the doorway drew her attention, but Penelope refused to take her eyes off Gordon’s, as though afraid that even blinking would cause him to slip through her fingers.

“Parker.”

“M’Lady,” he acknowledged.

She knew why he was here, which is why she ignored him.

“M’m, you need rest as much as he.”

“I’m fine.”

“Begging y’r pardon, but you’re not.”

“Parker, I don’t expect any arguments.”

“Neither should you, m’Lady,” said Parker, stepping up and resting a solid hand on her shoulder. “But you’d be foolish to expect no such persuasion.”

“I can’t leave him.”

“You can. You choose not to.”

The reminder was a challenge, and her eyes lifted at last to meet it.

“I do so choose. And Parker, you would do well to remember the choice has always been mine.”

“Yes, m’Lady.”

He’d never agreed, but Penelope knew he would stand behind her as he did now. It wasn’t for him to approve, she reminded herself, and she gripped Gordon’s hand tighter.

“You don’t need to worry about me,” she said, watching the slow rise and fall of Gordon’s chest.

“I do,” said Parker, his voice graver than she’d ever known it. “Master Gordon there, he has scores of people to worry over him. If you hadn’t stayed, someone else would have.”

“Your point?”

“You don’t pay me to worry over you, I know that well, m’m.”

“Then why?”

“Because somebody has to.”

Penelope pressed her lips together, biting back any betrayal of emotion.

Something must have flickered in her eyes because Parker nodded firmly and stepped away.

“M’Lady,” he said softly. “He won’t thank you for this penance. When did you last eat? Or sleep?”

“It’s not for him,” she answered, deliberately ignoring the question.

“He won’t see it that way. And he would never forgive himself for being the cause of any pain in your life.”

“He should have thought about that before he dived in front of a man wielding a gun,” snapped Penelope. “He should have thought about how I would feel with his blood on my hands.”

She hurriedly swiped at her eyes and allowed his hand to fall heavy from her grip.

“You needn’t stay, Parker,” she said, looking up at him with shining eyes. “You’ve said only what is required of you.”

He didn’t move.

“M’Lady–”

“You’re dismissed.”

He fell silent at once.

Penelope stood quickly, intending to see him to the door, and stumbled with a small gasp. Her head spun, Parker’s distinct silhouette blurring as she reached for a steadying handhold.

“I’ve got you, m’Lady,” said Parker, and he did.

She breathed heavily, the dizzying exertion of merely standing catching up with her.

“I won’t leave him,” she said, lamely.

“I expected nothing less,” he said gently. “And I won’t leave you.”

He drew her to the bed beside Gordon’s and coaxed her under the covers.

“Sleep first,” he said.

“It isn’t fair,” she said, petulant to the end, but Parker knew she wasn’t speaking about the way he tucked her into bed like she was five years old again.

“I know,” he murmured, “I know.”
