Goal, Chance and/or Away (purely taking words from this football commentary rn lol)
I am once again impressed with the gems my recent word challenges have excavated. Six fic snippets under the cut.
Goal
1. From a fic where a newly returned Jamie sees a man drug a lady’s drink at a bar and intervenes. But without context it just looks like Jamie got in a bar fight.
He knows it plays into the idea that he is a prima donna, a moody little bitch, feels like its proof that he’s more trouble than he’s worth. But he can’t help laying in bed; with the team that can barely stand him downstairs watching a movie, while he’s been fucking grounded to his room like the child Roy always said he was, and feeling desperately alone.
He hadn’t cared about being alone, before Ted. During most of his time with Ted, even. His dad had always made him either actively drive people away or that was just the practical application of conforming to his demands. He’d been used to it. It was all he’d ever known.
And then Keeley said he should stop battling the people trying to help him. And he sacrificed the reminder he’d taken from home, of home, when he left it. And danced around a bonfire after Roy Kent said he was right about something. Dani had thrown his arm around him. He’d sung with the lads…
It was fun, and it made it hurt even more when the next day he’d gone back to how it had always been. He didn’t tell Ted how much time he’d spent fantasizing about what it would have been like to have gotten to stay. To develop those tiny first buds of friendships.
To have never relegated Richmond. To be playing in the now with his teammates but versions of them he’d grown alongside for months. Who never got extra pissed at him for shit talking them on tv, and destroying their Captain’s career, for sending them down.
To be trusted. Before, the only thing a team had cared about was wether they could trust him to score. Which was still technically true. But they hadn’t ever wanted more from him, and he certainly hadn’t been putting extra out there for free. Besides he hadn’t trusted anyone else much either. Maybe Man City to be good players and to work together towards a common goal. And Richmond to pass him the ball to score the first time around.
Now he trusted Dani to smile at him even when no one else would. He trusted Jeff to subtly nod, but not more than that, because he had greeted Jamie when he returned before realizing how mad everyone else was at him. Not that Jamie blamed him. He’d gone out of his way to message the man saying the small nod was probably better for both of them.
He hadn’t realized it until the moment Ted didn’t even let him talk that he’d trusted the man to be fair. He talked a good talk, but he had trouble walking the good walk, and was pretty lousy at both when it came to Jamie.
2. Now that the team has been gelling, and Roy understands how Jamie’s mind works more, he’s got a plan to run circles around West Ham.
“Kent, the fuck mate! You said you could keep in position!”
“Fuck you Tartt! Maybe if you weren’t-“
They had been yelling about the play in the heat of being pissed off at each other. Jamie had telegraphed the pass to Roy very clearly. And the defender who was supposed to be on the left, loosely marking Sam, tore off to be another line of defense between Roy Kent and their goal.
Unfortunately for them, even when Roy and him had been out for blood against each other, they’d have never been that stupid. Jamie doesn’t even twist his body fully the way it should be for the kick. It still rolls smoothly to Sam who buries it in the back of the net from his completely cleared lane.
Chance
1. From the Investigative Journalist epic.
“…for as long as I remember, when I heard people say things, I always thought they meant it however the worst possible way is. But a lot of people say it while meaning it in the best possible way turns out.”
“And how does this relate back to you thinking people are rude when they talk around a subject?”
“Oh, yeah, I’m trying to do that more.”
“What more?”
“Identify when I’m doing that kind of thinking that what someone is doing is the worst version it could be. So, society probably isn’t trying to be rude by talking around things. I think it’s accidentally rude.”
“Do you mean incidentally?”
“What’s the difference?”
“They both mean something happened by chance. Accidental implies that the thing happened by carelessness while incidental indicates it would still happen this way even if people were taking care.”
“I think people want to believe it’s that last one but I believe it’s more often the first one. Cause I can be the same way. I normally don’t think much before talking, and if I did that more, I’d say things differently or maybe not say anything at all.”
2. This is also from the platonic a/b/o fic I didn’t realize had so many scenes already sketched out. The scenario is that James had a shady doctor prescribing Jamie pills that included an (i fucking guess) untraceable dynamic suppression med. When his dad is too busy to deal with a refill, Jamie asks Richmond’s med team to prescribe him a new vitamin pack.
“Oh that bastard. I’m gonna kill him this time, Simon, I am!”
“Georgie, c’mon, let’s focus on Jamie now and murdering later, yeah?”
“Fine, fine! So doctor, what about that? Like I believe his father would hurt him, cause that’s his way, but the how doesn’t make any sense. With vitamins?”
“Well, we don’t know if there is anything different between the vitamins his dad got for him and what we provided here. The best way to find out is with a blood test.
And you’re Jamie’s medical health proxy. So-“
“Yes, you’ve got my. You need to do a blood draw? Run tests?”
“Yes ma’am. You’re granting permission for the draw?”
“Yes, of course. What the fuck. How-how soon will you know? Does he have to go to hospital? It’ll take us almost four hours to get there. Do we-“
“Georgie, she can’t answer any questions if you don’t give her a chance, love. Take another deep breath for me, okay? In and in and in. Hold and hold and hold. Out and out and out. Okay, again.” And after she kept at it, he addressed the doctor again.
3. From that evil fic I teased about. I’ve played coy about what happened before now but you caught me! Rebecca walks onto the practice pitch ‘without Jamie’, Ted notes to himself.
“Jamie’s parents were in a car accident this morning. That’s why I called for him. His mother is being held overnight for observation and is quite understandably shaken. She called Man City to get a hold of Jamie, and when she explained what was going on she was able to talk with Pep. He promised he’d talk to Jamie so she could rest.
And then he called me directly.”
It was silent for a moment, and she was tempted to look around to better gauge player reactions. She kept her eyes on Ted, instead, because his was both more important and certainly more interesting. As she’d begun her story, he’d paled alarmingly.
And he failed to spill forth some folksy American tale to talk circles around everyone. Instead he hoarsely asked only one question.
“And his father?”
It gave away a weakness he had, which Rebecca was sure he neither realized he’d done nor that it was one. And why would he be worried about that, she reminded herself, when he also doesn’t realize he’s in game of your making.
“Ah, I should have been more precise in my language. His biological father divorced his mother when he was still an infant, I’ve been informed. It was his stepfather that was driving and took the brunt of the impact. He died on scene.”
She didn’t say it icily or meanly. She just said it without warmth. And that impacted the players more than she’d thought possible. Unfortunately it took time for her to understand that, because at the moment everyone just appeared to be in shock.
Ted didn’t ask anymore questions, and the silence was getting uncomfortable even for her.
“Well, since she took her late husband’s last name, there is a chance this won’t make the papers without the name Tartt attached. Still, if it does, Keeley made some excellent points about how we want to look. So no one go on your socials until she’s spoken with you.
Back to training now.” And she turned to walk away, not once looking back.
Away
1. ^ Chance #3
2. ^ Goal #1
3. I shamelessly stole this idea from a fic where Ted has Jamie stay with Roy in a similar manner as hockey players sometimes do? Apparently. So season 2 Jamie returns to Richmond. And Ted cooks up a thing where Jamie is going to room with Sam. Help them get their differences settled. And then…and then James Tartt shows up.
Jamie sort of unthinkingly says “Oh, Ted knows about me da’”. And Sam is sure that Jamie must have misunderstood what happened until he hears about Ted walking away but sending the soldier. And the conversation Jamie and Ted had in the Crown & Anchor.

Hi Steph, how are you lovely? Thank you again for everything you do for us! I'm sort of in the mood for fun Johnlock marijuana fics. John and Sherlock accidentally or not so accidentally getting high (and preferably naughty). I just finished lifeonmars' 'Smoke' and itching for more 🤭
Hi Nonny!
AHHHH okay I honestly don't think I HAVE any that I've read? If I do they'll be on one of my Drugs lists:
Self Harm, Danger Nights, and Drugs
Drugs and Drugging Pt 2
Drugs and Drugging Pt 3
I did a quick look on my MFL list and here is what showed up when I did a tag search... I haven't read them so I don't know if the drugs referenced IS pot/weed... If anyone has others that they can or would like to add, please do!
RECREATIONAL DRUG USE (MFLs)
Smoke by lifeonmars (T, 4,827 w., 1 Ch. || Marijuana, Recreational Drug Use, Fluff, Humour, Rock and Roll) – Sometimes time and space collide to show you something you've been missing. Sherlock's pipe helps.
Better Than by pandoras_chaos (E, 9,869 w. || Marijuana / Drug Use, Oral / Anal Sex, Awkwardness, Pining) – Mrs Hudson looked up at him and started giggling, seemingly unable to help herself as she clutched at her stomach and leaned back into the sofa cushions. Sherlock felt his face twitch, and he tried to contain the rumbling chuckles as they spilled forth from his throat, but it was useless. "The thing about John...?" she prompted after a few minutes of breathless laughter. "Ah! Yes," Sherlock sighed, reaching for the ashtray and collecting the expertly rolled joint, "The thing about John is..." he brought the lighter up to the end of the paper, took a drag and held it for a moment, feeling his chest expand with the fragrant smoke. "He's..." he exhaled long and low. "He's fucking brilliant." Mrs Hudson let loose a bark of high, girlish laughter. "You mean he's brilliant at fucking, dear," she corrected, reaching for the bag of crisps on the table. Sherlock felt his cheeks flush, but his face split into a sly grin. "I wouldn't know, Hudders." He sighed a bit wistfully, "I really wouldn't know."
Sit Pretty For Me by LipstickDaddy (E, 19,502 w., 10 Ch. || Alternate First Meeting Pre-S1, Recreational Drug Use, Light BDSM, Strangers to Lovers, Matchmaker Mike, Light Angst, Happy Ending) – What if John and Sherlock met once before, at an underground sex club, a decade before Mike Stamford introduced them that afternoon at Bart’s?
On Dates, Drugs, and Destiny by squire (T, 20,055 w., 3 Ch. || ASiP Divergence, Romance, Arranged Marriage, Crack, Humour, Fluff, Angst, Misunderstandings, Love Confessions, Developing Relationship, First Kiss, Jealousy, Friends to Lovers, Courting, Drugs / Recreational Drug use, Case-Related Drug Use, Sherlock Being an Idiot, Meddling Mycroft) – When Sherlock Holmes and John Watson first meet in the lab at Bart's, it isn't actually for the first time. But why does only one of them know this - and should the other one keep the secret, or will revealing the truth ruin their friendship forever? A story of John being not Sherlock's date, of Sherlock being around way too much drugs, and a Destiny that always has to have the last word.
Heart on a String by AngelSpirit (E, 23,257 w., 1 Ch. || PODFIC AVAILABLE || Alternate First Meeting, First Kiss / Time, Infidelity, Angst, Fluff, Kidlock/Teenlock, Mentions of Recreational Drug Use) – John and Sherlock got married with Cracker Jack rings when they were 7 yrs old. It wasn’t official, but for their whole lives they took it very seriously.
Gilded Cages by MaryLouLeach (E, 52,323 w., 21 Ch. || Supernatural Creatures AU || Rape/Non-Con, Graphic Violence, Suicide Attempt, Attempted Murder, Vampires and Werewolves, Blood Drinking, Slavery, Dom/Sub Undertones, Torture, Anal Sex, Turning, Recreational Drug Use, Drug Addiction, Dark Sherlock, Protective Mycroft, Possessive Sherlock, Bonding, War, Hurt/Comfort, Romance, Angst, Child Abuse) – The vampire remained motionless in the dark of his prison; his eyes clasped shut as if he were sleeping. However Vampires didn’t sleep, or rather this one did not. Sleeping would bring dreams; dreams were solely a human condition, whereas nightmares, nightmares were what plagued the sleep of the immortal. Sherlock knew he was a monster, and even now in this hellish prison locked in the unfurnished room, he felt the darkness of soul start to fester. Pushing at him and all he wished to do was silence it, he needed his fix needed more. The last addict he fed on wasn’t enough. He needed more, needed to shut out the screaming that plagued him that weighed him down and kept him shackled to his hunger. Part 1 of the GILDED series
Your Many Tendencies Series by apliddell (T, 52,222+ w. across 5 works || WiP || Femlock, POC Characters, Enby Character, Sherlock’s Violin, YouTuber John, UST, Mutual Pining, Misunderstandings, Slow Burn, Domesticity, Fluff, Recreational Drug Use, Friends to Lovers, Sherlock’s Past, First Kiss, Love Confessions, John’s Family, Christmas, Anxious Sherlock, Hurt / Comfort, Institutional Racism) – John Watson returns to London after a long absence, somewhat the worse for wear. She meets Sherlock Holmes, and starts feeling excited about life again.
Save Me or Let Me Drown by GubraithianFire (E, 72,986 w., 16 Ch. || Shameless AU || Dysfunctional Family, Alcoholism, Recreational Drug Use, Angst, Humour, Clubbing, Bipolar Disorder, Custody Battle, Mutual Pining, Family Fluff, Smut, Handcuffs, Anal Sex, Shower Sex, Rimming, Come Shot, Angst With Happy Ending) – How Sherlock escaped from his family, John sacrificed everything to his, and how, together, they built their own. Part 1 of the The Watsons series

What would his regiment say? What would his family say? What would anyone say if they discovered that John was currently in a cab on the way to pick up a male prostitute for the evening?
To Light Another's Path by BeautifulFiction (E, 128,654 w., 19 Ch. || Post-TGG, Sick Fic, Hurt/Comfort, Drug Addiction / Recreational Drug Use, First Time / Kiss, Case Fic) – Teaching John to observe seems to be a losing battle, but when Sherlock falls ill and submits himself to John's care, will he realise that there is more to life than the science of deduction?

Hi omg so excited it's open!!! This blog is the best, I love all the recs you give
I've been trying to find this fic I read a while ago that I remember really well but can't find anywhere. Content warnings: suicidal ideation for the whole plot summary
So Andrew is living with Nicky and Aaron and joins a suicide pact website and ends up pairing up with Neil who is living with wymack in this fic. After making this pact Andrew ends up changing his find because his relationships with Aaron and Nicky improve (aaron notices he's been down and I'm pretty sure there's a scene where Nicky finds out Andrew is gay and takes it well). The fic has a happy ending overall and Andrew is able to prevent Neil's attempt.
Thank you so much <3
Thank you for prefacing your ask with the content warning, anon. This story has high school-aged Andrew and Neil as two lost souls nearly consumed by their trauma who find hope again. Please read with care. -A
24 Floors by bazerella [Rated M, 9691 Words, Complete, 2021]
It wasn’t necessarily that Andrew thought he wasn’t going to go through with it in the end, it was more so in the back of his mind that this was his last feeble attempt at not being alone. - Andrew and Neil meet on a website used by people to find themselves a suicide pact partner. As Andrew fights his own battle inside of his head, and their pact date gets closer, Andrew struggles with his decision. He justifies his decision as being what's best for his family, but somewhere along the way he realizes that perhaps he deserves what's best too.

Word count: 7,180
A/N: my first attempt of writing an original fanfic that is in canon universe. I hope it makes sense👍 it took me quite a lot of courage to post pls be nice
[Ao3 link]
 “This time,” said the team leader, Lee Tae Joon, looking at each member of his team at the briefing table, “we’re going to be a little more spread out than usual.”
Their new target’s name was Kim Dae Kyung. How the team had found him was a little bit different story than most of their cons.
A few days ago Tae Joon ran into his old classmate, a woman named Hye Soo. He remembered her as a wonderful, kind girl, and as an adult she hadn't changed. But one look at her and he could tell that she was not doing great.
“Let's find somewhere to sit down, and you can tell me everything,” he said. Tae Joon decided then and there he was going to do everything he could to help this woman.
They settled in a random little cafe, and Hye Soo shared her story.
Just a week ago she had everything. She was to marry a nice guy from whom she was having a baby, and just the mention of a baby touched Tae Joon’s heart, since he used to be a parent himself. But it turned out, that guy was only after her money. He stole everything from her, even her home.
“He gave me a week to find a new place to live,” she said, “and it's already up. Now I don't have anywhere to go!”
Tae Joon put a hand on her shoulder, but before he could say anything, she continued:
“But it's only a half of the story. As I was searching for a new house, I found this guy,” and at this point Tae Joon already could piece together the rest of the story, but he still let Hye Soo continue. “He had a small company with a few employees. He said they helped families in crisis. He promised new housing cheap and quick. I should've known it was too good to be true... But I was desperate. And he even showed me the apartment, and the documents, and everything, so I thought it might be safe.”
“He conned you.”
Hye Soo nodded, defeated. “When I went to the new apartment the next day, there were people living there. And they said they hadn't heard anything about it being sold to anyone, and even promised to call the police if I didn't leave.”
She then went quiet, and Tae Joon spoke with confidence.
“It’s settled then. We’re going to help you.”
“We?”
Tae Joon smirked. “I know a few people…”
***
Tae Joon graciously offered her to stay at his place while he himself crashed at the headquarters. Not the most ideal solution, but it was only temporarily, until they dealt with the dirtbags accordingly.
After that he introduced Hye Soo to the team, and together they planned out their course of action.
First of all, Soo Kyung and Tae Joon posed as a married couple that were expecting a child in the future and were in desperate need of a new home to get the scammers' attention. They threw the bait and waited until they could meet the agents of this "company".
After that they had to figure out how to get the leader of the company, a man named Kim Dae Kyung. They decided to get more evidence of his crimes and hand him over to the police, which was the least risky and the most effective way of doing away with him. That meant going through his personal belongings and probably blackmail.
But getting the much needed information was so much harder considering their target was a literal hermit. The only times you could catch him outside his house were when he would meet his new clients or unwind in a bar.
Which had brought them to this moment.
“What do you mean spread out?” Eui Sung asked.
“Since it's so hard to catch the right moment, we have to act as quickly as possible. And that means... everyone will have to play their part at the same time, but we'll all be in different locations.”
He then explained that he and Soo Kyung would have a meeting with the agents of the company, allowing the other three to go after the head, Kim Dae Kyung.
“Na Byeol, you will search his house. Find anything and everything that could incriminate him,” he said, and Na Byeol nodded. “Our target only goes out to the bar for a short break, so you’ll have limited time. And that’s where you,” he pointed at Eui Sung, “will play your part. You will have to go in and distract him as long as you can.”
“Me? Wait, what do you want me to do?”
“You’re going to be just another customer who decided to strike up a conversation. Talk to him, stall him, prevent him from going home as long as you can to give Na Byeol time.”
For some reason Eui Sung’s palms started to sweat.
The thought of having to spend one-on-one time with their target, especially after the last time he was forced to be on his own with their targets involuntarily came to mind, of course, didn’t bring him any comfort. His strengths were technology and surveillance, backing his team up from afar, opening all doors for them, only occasionally providing help as minor characters. Not directly interacting with the target, especially when he didn’t have his teammates right behind him.
“W-wait, why me? Why not Roy?” he pointed at the other man. “Surely he fits better. He has more, uhh… natural charisma?”
Roy quirked an eyebrow at that, and Soo Kyung giggled quietly.
“Because you are generally more, you know, amiable looking. Let’s just say I think it would be better if Dae Kyung was approached by someone… less intimidating,” Tae Joon said.
Eui Sung made a confused face, and Na Byeol laughed out loud. He then realized that the insinuation here was that he was just naturally giving off an impression of someone who couldn’t stand up for himself, and he was slightly offended.
“Hey, I can be intimidating!” he pouted.
“The only thing you can intimidate is maybe your breakfast,” Na Byeol smirked and high fived Roy, which has only brought Eui Sung more annoyance at his situation.
“Besides,” Tae Joon continued, not paying their bickering any mind, “Roy will have a different mission. He’ll be the one driving you both to your respected locations and back. Since Dae Kyung’s house is in a very closed off neighborhood, others might get very suspicious of a van waiting around. So instead Roy will wait under the bar and only pick up Na Byeol when she’s ready.”
“So, he’s going to be nearby?” Eui Sung asked, perhaps with a little more enthusiasm than he wished to reveal.
“What are you so worried about, Hacker?” Roy suddenly asked.
“Well, you know… Who knows what could happen…” he thought back to last time, when after he was done with his part and still got got.
“You get to just relax at a bar, what could there possibly be to be scared about?”
Eui Sung didn’t know what to answer. What was he scared about? There was nothing concrete, he just had a bad feeling, but he already had bad feelings most of the time, so he said nothing. He hated to admit it, but he was acting unreasonably in that situation. He really had nothing to complain about.
Roy, on the other hand, was surprised at the lack of a response from Eui Sung. His question was meant as a teasing, but he realized that the other must be genuinely worried, so he decided to lay off for now. Later he would regret his words said in that particular moment. He should’ve listened to his worries, probably should’ve offered to switch places, since he understood very well that the jokes about Eui Sung’s helplessness weren’t particularly unfounded. But at the time it didn’t seem too important, and they were much more concerned with preparing Tae Joon and Soo Kyung for their performance than anything else. So this conversation was long forgotten.
-линия перерыва-
All too quickly came the evening to put their plan into action.
Tae Joon and Soo Kyung had already left, and Roy had already dropped Na Byeol off at the target’s house and was on his way to the bar to leave Eui Sung to do his thing.
He stopped the van in front of the entrance to the bar, and Eui Sung stood up to reluctantly exit.
“You’re going to be outside, right?” he asked Roy.
“Yes, I’m going to be here, at least until Na Byeol finds the safe,” he heard Roy’s firm voice in his left ear. “But the trip there and back only takes fifteen minutes, you will be fine.”
Indeed, they had calculated that the road from the bar to Dae Kyung’s house and back only took about fifteen minutes. But that did not mean absolute security.
Eui Sung really wanted to object that actually so many things could go wrong in fifteen minutes, but then he decided that he should stay silent to save last bits of his dignity in front of Roy. After all, excluding Roy, he got the easiest job of them all, only having to sit and talk for a while, not even playing any particular role.
“Now hurry,” Roy said, “before our target decides to go home.”
Eui Sung nodded resolutely. “Yes, sir.”
He was determined to do his absolute best and not let anyone down. But when he entered the building his confidence instantly faded. He spotted Dae Kyung right away, and at that moment it hit him that he was completely alone. And he would definitely be whining about it if others didn’t absolutely depend on him.
Instead he simply looked around. It was a small establishment with a few tables and a nice atmosphere. It wasn’t too crowded, and Eui Sung could definitely find himself a vacant table if he wanted to. But his destined seat was, of course, next to their target.
Dae Kyung was sitting at the bar counter sipping on a drink. Eui Sung took a deep breath and headed straight to him.
He plopped down on the stool two seats to the left of their target and ordered himself a glass of something light. He had absolutely no desire to get drunk that night. After about two minutes of sitting in silence and figuring out his next move he felt more than noticed the other’s eyes on him.
So Eui Sung got his attention without any effort straight away, great.
“Well, hello there, pretty guy.”
The voice and the words caught him completely off-guard, and made him nearly choke on his drink. He turned to Dae Kyung to make sure the man was talking to him.
“M-me?”
He heard Na Byeol snort in his ear. “Who's pretty? Is he talking to you?”
Dae Kyung laughed softly. “I'm sorry, it's probably not an inappropriate getting. I just couldn't help myself.”
“Ah… It's okay,” Eui Sung laughed it off awkwardly even though in reality he was immediately on edge without even realizing it. “Good evening to you too. My name's Park Man Young,” he introduced himself with a prepared name to move on from the awkwardness.
“Kim Dae Kyung.”
So now Eui Sung just had to bust out all the charm of his personality and get this guy into a conversation.
“So… Do you come here often?”
“Do I come here often? You could say that...” Dae Kyung said, and it was about the most cryptic answer Eui Sung ever heard. He didn’t even know what to say after that, but luckily, Dae Kyung continued: “Although tell me something. I've never seen you around.”
“Ah, right... I'm sort of new to this part of the city. I've moved in a few days ago. I just decided I should go out and meet some people.”
“I knew it.”
“Huh?”
“I knew I would remember someone as handsome as you,” Dae Kyung laughed again, and Eui Sung's cheeks flushed bright red. “You could sweep anyone off their feet, you know.”
“What the hell? Is he flirting with you or something? I can't listen to this,” he heard Na Byeol's voice.
“Hah! Who would've thought,” Roy chuckled. “You're in luck tonight, Hacker.”
Eui Sung started violently coughing to shut them up. “Stop saying nonsense!” he mumbled quietly so that only his teammates would hear him.
“Eh? Did you say something?”
“Nothing! Nothing. It's very nice to meet you, sir.”
He then thought he noticed something weird flicker in the target's eyes. But it only lasted a second, so Eui Sung wasn't sure he didn't imagine it.
“Hey,” Dae Kyung motioned to the bartender, “let my friend have some more, and put it on my tab.”
“Really? Thank you,” Eui Sung said, and Dae Kyung winked at him, which only made Eui Sung more uncomfortable. But nothing was too intolerable just yet.
In fact, Eui Sung felt pretty good about it so far: he managed to draw the attention of their target pretty effortlessly, and it looked like the man was pretty interested in this conversation, so if he kept this up he was sure he could buy Na Byeol all the time in the world to search his house upside-down. Not that he wanted to, since this guy was giving him the biggest creeps ever.
“Do you like this part of the city?” he asked to continue the conversation.
Dae Kyung hummed, thinking. “No, not particularly,” he said in the end.
“Why staying here, then?”
“I like the people here,” he replied. “They mind their own business, you know? I could be doing anything behind the doors of my home, and they wouldn't even care. They don't ask questions.”
Eui Sung suppressed the urge to ask what questions. He determined that he didn't really want to know the specifics. Surely he just meant his fake real estate company, what else could there be, right?
“What, you're not going to ask me what I mean?” Dae Kyung suddenly asked.
“What? U-um...” Eui Sung laughed nervously. “I figured since I'm gonna live here I'm not going to ask questions and mind my own business as well?” he offered. “Unless you want to tell me yourself, of course.”
Dae Kyung bared his teeth in a weird looking smile which could only be described as a wolfish grin of a predator right before it sunk its teeth into its prey.
“No,” Dae Kyung said, and after a somewhat ominous pause he added: “I have a feeling you'll find out soon enough anyway.”
Eui Sung would lie if he said he didn't feel slight chills run down his spine.
He felt his glass nearly slipping out of his hand because of sweat. He set it down on the table. It was empty already anyway.
Back in the van Roy scrunched his nose in irritation. Now this guy was just trying to intimidate Eui Sung to try and manipulate him in some way. And he could practically see Eui Sung's fluttering eyelashes and slightly open mouth as he loses his train of thought completely. If it was Roy out there, he wouldn't have even bat an eyelid at such a crude attempt to instill fear in someone. But it was Eui Sung they were talking about, and the prolonged silence on the other end of the earpiece was good enough indication.
“Hacker, remember who you're talking to. He's just a scammer, he's not going to do anything. Just ignore whatever he says and stay calm,” he spoke in hopes to calm his teammate down a little bit.
But Roy himself didn't believe his own words. He wasn't particularly worried, but if he had only been listening halfheartedly before, now he was definitely more alert. If he was being honest, this guy didn't sound like just a usual scammer, rather more sinister. And now he wished he did switch places with Eui Sung. But it was too late now, and he didn't want to throw their hacker into panic in fear of compromising their mission.
Hearing Roy's words in his ear both comforted and ticked Eui Sung off even more. He was glad to know Roy was still there and listening, so, in theory, he was safe. But he was annoyed because Roy could only hear, he didn't see Dae Kyung's creepy smile, his predatory eyes, couldn't smell his foul breath or feel the revolting warmth he was radiating that Eui Sung could sense even being one seat apart from him. So how could he tell him to stay calm?
“I see your glass is empty over there, little buddy,” he heard Dae Kyung’s voice. “Please,” the man turned to the barkeep, “a refill for my friend.”
The newly refilled glass landed in front of him, and snapped his attention back to the problem at hand. He briefly glanced at Dae Kyung and saw that the other was watching him, as if waiting for him to take a sip.
Eui Sung brought the glass to his lips, and saw Dae Kyung's smile widen ever so slightly.
“Why don't you tell me about yourself?” Dae Kyung then asked. “For example, what do you do for living?”
Eui Sung barely stopped himself from sighing in relief. Finally, a normal question.
Their further dialogue went pretty smoothly. Eui Sung fed him some wild stories about his made up life, and listened to Dae Kyung lie about his line of business as well.
“I work as a real estate agent,” he said, completely omitting the fact that he sold already occupied apartments and stole his clients' money.
“That's so cool!” Eui Sung replied. “Can you tell me more about it?”
“Of course, sweetheart,” Dae Kyung flashed him a smile, and once again Eui Sung's stomach twisted just the tiniest bit.
Back in the van Roy also found himself frowning. First time it was kind of funny, second time it was already getting old, but at that point this was starting to look more like a pattern, and Roy wasn’t liking it.
The talk went on for about ten more minutes, until something strange happened.
A loud bang and a sound of glass shattering made Eui Sung jump in his seat and turn his head sharply. At the far corner table an angry woman was storming off leaving behind a lost guy who looked just pathetic. She shouted at him so loudly that everyone in the bar could hear. Something about him cheating, and he could only miserably attempt to defend himself. Eui Sung hissed sympathetically. That guy was definitely having a terrible evening... But that wasn’t his problem. He turned back to their mark to find the other man smiling warmly.
“Has anybody ever told you you have pretty eyes?”
Eui Sung almost choked on his drink once more.
“W-what?”
“Absolutely gorgeous, I could definitely drown in them...”
“Uhhh...”
Eui Sung's skin crawled. Something about Dae Kyung's voice was different, but he couldn't figure out what, and that last comment made him want to run to the exit and ask Roy to drive away as fast as possible.
Dae Kyung moved just an inch closer to Eui Sung, who simultaneously backed away.
“Seriously, with those pretty eyes I bet you have a gorgeous smile as well. Don't you want to smile for me?”
Eui Sung swallowed thickly.
It seemed even Na Byeol understood there were no place for jokes anymore.
“Is this guy out of his mind? I feel gross even listening to him,” Na Byeol commented. “Is it safe for Eui Sung to be next to him?”
Eui Sung wanted to yell that yes, he was, in fact, feeling very unsafe right now, and let everyone know just what he thinks of this guy next to him. But on the outside he could only flash an awkward smile and do his best to hide his discomfort so as not to blow his cover. After all, everyone depended on him being able to stall as long as possible.
After a few more seconds Dae Kyung suddenly burst out laughing. “You should've seen your face! My little guy, I'm just messing with you, relax.”
“Oh,” Eui Sung breathed out. Suddenly he felt a dull headache forming behind his eyes. Was it the drinks, or the fact that he had been stressing out all evening?
“Eui Sung, just give me a sign, and we can abort this,” Roy said. “Clear your throat if you need help.”
But Eui Sung kept quiet. He wasn't about to ruin the con just because of a few weird comments or some messed up jokes. Even if he was freaking out real bad right now. He turned away from Dae Kyung for a second, and whispered: “I'm fine.”
“Okay. Na Byeol, how much longer?” Roy asked, and you could hear it in his voice he wasn't enjoying any of this either.
“I only have the living room to go through. I bet the safe is in here. I think you can start driving now.”
“Okay.”
Eui Sung both sighed with relief internally and freaked out even more. He was alone for real now, but it was just fifteen minutes. He had to endure this creep for just fifteen more minutes, and then he was done.
He asked for the third drink, just to calm his nerves, and prayed to whoever his anxiety didn't show on his face.
But just a few minutes later something else threatened to show on his face, and that was extreme discomfort he was starting to feel in the area of… pretty much his entire body. Not only his migraine had considerably worsened, but now his muscles also began somewhat aching and feeling numb. He blamed it on the exhaustion from tonight’s mission and also maybe his whimsical attempts to exercise earlier that week.
Then he tried to continue a conversation, and… to a certain amount of fear, he felt some difficulty forming his next line.
“How- how about you- you tell me...”
“Do you have any family?” Dae Kyung suddenly interrupted him.
“What?..”
“Like, is there anyone you live with? A girlfriend?”
“Well, no...”
“Really? How interesting...”
“You really should've said you have someone at home,” Roy said.
Eui Sung couldn't understand why.
“...huh?” he accidentally said out loud.
“What?” Dae Kyung asked.
“No, nothing.”
That headache of his was getting noticeably horrible. In addition, it was suddenly getting much harder to verbalize his thoughts correctly. He wanted to tell Dae Kyung that his family was none of his business, but his mouth just wouldn't cooperate.
“It's...The living... none...”
What was happening to him? Why was Dae Kyung suddenly smiling so predatory?
“What are you trying to say there, little guy?”
“How much did you drink?” Roy’s voice could be heard somewhere in the distance. It held almost a worried tone to it. “I’ve told you not to drink too much, damnit.”
Eui Sung really wanted to protest that no, he shouldn’t be drunk at all, he’s only had like three glasses… wait, then what was the case?
Suddenly Dae Kyung hopped from his own seat to the one right next to Eui Sung.
He put his own hand on Eui Sung's, and his heart made a leap. His first instinct was to immediately pull it away, but to his own horror he realized it wouldn't fully obey. He could only make a weak attempt to free his hand, but Dae Kyung grabbed it really tight.
Eui Sung's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would break his ribs. That was enough, he was done. He had to tell Roy, he needed to... but his mouth just wouldn't listen...
He started to speak, but Dae Kyung quickly placed his hand over his mouth.
“Shh, you don't want to say anything wrong now,” he whispered.
***
Meanwhile Na Byeol was nearly jumping from joy, as she finally was able to lay her hands on their target's safe. Number combination and a padlock? Pshh, not a problem for her. She was done in under a minute.
But having opened it, she was disappointed to see there were no gold bars. And no money whatsoever in general.
“What a cheapskate,” she huffed. “Didn't even leave any money for me!”
“This is not what we're after. Look for documents,” Roy reminded her.
“Yeah, yeah...”
There was only a folder and a closed shoebox in the safe. She figured the folder must be where their target kept the documents and everything important, so the shoebox was what had really caught her attention.
“There's some weird box, I wonder what's in it,” she said and went to open it.
What she saw inside almost made her drop it.
There were pictures, a lot of pictures. As she flipped through them she wanted to puke more and more, and her eyes widened in horror.
“Roy, turn the car around,” she said, the tone of her voice having completely changed.
“What about you?” he asked.
“Forget me, you need to drive back and get Eui Sung out, now,” without a second thought he complied, turning the van around to drive back where he came from.
“Why? What did you find?” his voice was steady, but his stomach grew an uneasy feeling. Without noticing he pressed on the gas pedal to drive even faster.
“There are pictures of... of... people...”
“I got it.”
Na Byeol didn't need to continue for him to understand that those weren't pictures of cute puppies and butterflies that were kept in their target's safe. Suddenly it made sense why he spent so much time at the bar. It made him sick.
Next thing he realized he hadn't even heard any kind of complaint or protest from Eui Sung about the fact that they decided to pull the plug on his mission. It could be, of course, due to him not being able to speak next to someone, but still Roy couldn't help but feel even more anxious.
“Hacker, can you hear me?” no answer. “Clear your throat if you can hear me,” only silence in response once again. Roy cursed and punched the steering wheel.
“Is his earbud not working?” Na Byeol asked in a weak voice.
“It couldn't have broken on its own. It must've been found by Dae Kyung.”
Not to mention that Eui Sung turning it off voluntarily was out of the question. All of them know not to turn it off under any circumstances.
“Ah, what are we even going to do?” Na Byeol lamented. Panic was evident in her voice, but Roy couldn't have that.
“Na Byeol, focus on your own escape right now. Don't worry about Eui Sung, I'm going to go and get him.”
“Please hurry. He's there all alone now, no doubt scared out of his mind,” she said.
Roy bit his lip. He really couldn't bring himself to tell her that, considering who their target was, Eui Sung getting only scared would be the perfect outcome.
***
Dae Kyung cupped Eui Sung’s cheek with one hand and reached towards his ear with the other. Eui Sung wanted to scream at him not to touch him there, but his mouth might as well have been full of wool. He blinked, and the next moment he saw his earbud drown in the contents of the glass. Even through the thick fog in his brain he could understand that it was very, very bad. His one chance to call for help was gone.
He could only stare at it blankly, and Dae Kyung snickered, pinching Eui Sung's cheek.
“That's right, I knew about your little toy. I noticed it back when you turned around and exposed your left ear to me. Turns out, some other people have been listening in on our little date all this time. But no matter... Now we are finally truly alone.”
And if Eui Sung's muscles didn't feel completely numb at that moment, he would definitely shudder with his whole body. Suddenly Dae Kyung dropped what little had remained of his nice act, and his face distorted to that of a true maniac.
Next moment Eui Sung felt the last crumbs of strength leave him, a heavy hand landed on his shoulders, and his head dropped on the counter with a dull thud.
“Oh gosh, look at you. That last glass was definitely one too many, eh?” Dae Kyung purred. He then turned to the bartender with a toothy smile. “I apologize, my friend here had a bit too much. I always tell him, he should be more careful, and still...” The oblivious bartender smiled sympathetically, and Dae Kyung continued. “I parked my car at the back, let me take him away.”
Dae Kyung took Eui Sung and half led, half dragged him to the back entrance. Eui Sung wanted to resist, screamed at his body to move even a muscle, but it was all in vain. Nothing was working, and the world around was spinning so quickly that he couldn't even focus on one point. He was completely helpless. Oh Roy, where are you?
He felt the night air hit his skin. The car was close now. With each step they took Eui Sung felt more and more dread. No matter how hard he tried he couldn't even raise a finger to try and fight off. He knew he couldn't fight anyway, but this was on a whole another level. He was completely at the mercy of a sick and twisted pervert.
“There we are, little friend,” Dae Kyung said with a grin in his voice. “Almost there.”
Eui Sung wanted to cry. Please don't open that door, he begged inwardly, anything but this... Somebody help me...
Dae Kyung’s hand fell on the door handle, and Eui Sung's heart sunk… when suddenly he felt incredible lightness. Dae Kyung’s other hand that was supporting him was gone, and next second he found himself sitting on the ground with his back against the car.
Through rapidly blurring vision he only saw two dark silhouettes, and heard vague noises of someone fighting. For a minute he was only hearing rhythmic punches, and wondered what was going on.
After the hitting stopped, the silhouette moved towards him, and Eui Sung's heart picked up the pace again, when a face appeared in front of his eyes, and he could recognize...
Roy!
The relief hit Eui Sung immediately. Boy was he glad to see him! He could barely see straight, but even like that he was able to see Roy's eyes filled with worry. He felt wetness on his face, and right after that Roy's rough hand through his jacket's sleeve on his cheek. The other man had said something to him, but he couldn't hear. His consciousness was quickly slipping, and very soon the world around him submerged into darkness.
***
Two minutes earlier…
Roy practically tore the door off when he ran into the bar. He scanned the crowd, but couldn't find neither Dae Kyung nor Eui Sung. He sprinted to the counter and spoke to the man behind it.
“There were two people here. One in his thirties, and the younger one had blond hair and glasses,” he hastily explained. The bartender nodded in understanding.
“You missed them by just a minute. The blond guy got messed up, so his friend had to take him home.”
Roy's hair stood on ends.
“Where.”
“They exited through the back door. Maybe you'll catch them, if...”
But he didn't get to finish the sentence, as Roy was already gone.
Oh please, let me be on time.
In a flash he found himself outside and staring at the horrible scene: their target was dragging Eui Sung who couldn’t even stand upright towards his car ready to take off and do god knows what to him.
Roy saw red.
He ran up to Dae Kyung, and practically tore him off from Eui Sung. The latter then immediately lost his balance, slid down the car’s surface and just sat on the ground.
“Who the hell…” Dae Kyung began, but Roy didn’t let him finish. He punched him and knocked him down on the ground, and then proceeded to punch him again, and again, and again. He stopped only when he realized he was hearing some strange noise. Then he realized that it was Na Byeol’s voice calling his name.
“Roy! Roy! Can you hear me? What’s happening?!”
Dae Kyung was completely unconscious now, and even though Roy’s rage would only completely disappear if he killed the motherfucker, he reminded himself what was more important at that moment.
He rushed to Eui Sung, kneeling in front of him to check him over. Thankfully he didn’t find any injuries. Eui Sung’s glassy eyes stared somewhere through him, but he still saw some semblance of relief on his face. A tear ran down Eui Sung’s cheek, and it broke Roy’s heart. He went to wipe it with the sleeve of his jacket, so as not to get blood on Eui Sung’s face.
“I’m sorry for being so late. You’re safe now. Let’s get you home.”
After that Eui Sung’s eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness, his head dropping to the side. Roy sighed and went to pick him up from the ground.
“Roy? How is Eui Sung?”
Roy looked at his load.
“I’m assuming he got roofied. He’s unconscious now. I’m taking him back to the van.”
Na Byeol was silent for a minute, likely processing that information.
“Okay… I’ve already texted Tae Joon and Soo Kyung, they’re coming back too.”
“Alright, meet you at the headquarters.”
***
Eui Sung woke up and immediately wished he hadn’t. He tried to sit up, but then groaned and clutched his head. Somehow that dull headache from yesterday still persisted even today, and was twice, if not three times as bad. Wait, yesterday? What even happened yesterday? A surge of panic went through him, and he attempted to get up again to assess the situation.
“I would advise you to lie back down,” he heard a voice. It was Roy. So Roy was here, huh. It instantly made things better, and he relaxed, feeling much safer.
He looked around the room as much as he could without turning his head too much and realized he was back at the headquarters. His body was covered with a warm blanket. He had no recollection of how he’d gotten here, or what had even happened after he’d gotten into the conversation with their target.
“How are you feeling?” Roy asked him.
A wave of nausea hit him, and he squeezed his eyes shut, a slight moan escaping his lips.
“Like shit,” he managed.
Roy hummed and squatted down next to him. Eui Sung flinched slightly from the sudden movement, but then he saw Roy was only handing him a glass of water.
“Better to stay hydrated,” he said plainly.
“Thanks,” he said, taking the glass. Roy helped him get up a little bit so that he could drink. Even that little movement made his stomach twist with nausea once more, and he nearly gagged. Roy laid him back down, and after waiting a few seconds until his stomach calmed down, he finally asked the question that had been bugging him since he’d woken up.
“What happened?”
“You got drugged and nearly kidnapped, then you passed out and I took you back to the base.”
“…oh.”
Memories came flooding back in. Images of events of the previous evening flashed before his eyes: Dae Kyung’s ugly smile, his hands on his face, the bar’s back door, the car…
All of it came back at once, threatening to completely overwhelm him. His heart picked up the pace, and suddenly it was harder and harder to breathe…
“Hacker?” Roy was right at his side instantly. “Hey, Jung Eui Sung. Just breathe, okay? It’s all over, you’re safe now.”
For a few seconds Eui Sung was simply breathing, in and out, until he was back in the present.  
“Sorry…” he swallowed hard and squeezed his eyes shut. “You must think I’m a total loser right now.”
“Not at all,” Roy replied. “You just went through something traumatic, it’s only natural to freak out.”
Eui Sung couldn’t find what to reply. He fully expected Roy to, well, maybe not mock him openly, but he still messed up where Roy would definitely never.
“I made a mistake…” he said. “I ruined the mission. I…”
Roy demonstratively sighed so loud that Eui Sung had to quiet down.
“You did not ruin anything, okay? And also, do you have any idea how that happened? At what point did he spike your drink, I mean.”
Eui Sung had to pause to think about it. He made sure to watch his glass at all times, even though he did not expect something like this, but there was one moment. If he had to guess then it would be…
“When some loud noise distracted me,” he started recalling. “A couple was having an argument, and the woman caused a scene. I turned away from Dae Kyung and from my drink for a moment because I got startled when she broke a glass.”
Roy closed his eyes and frowned. Eui Sung was already anticipating an earful, but instead all Roy said was:
“I see,” then, after a pause he continued. “So it was premeditated after all. He either was originally targeting someone else and switched to you, jumping at the opportunity, or planned for a random attack, and you were simply there at the wrong time. People like him would stop at nothing to get their way, so it would’ve happened no matter what, and it’s not your fault.”
“…Wow, okay. I don’t know if I’m supposed to feel better, or be in even more misery.”
Roy breathed out the faintest laugh.
“It’s your choice, Hacker.”
They heard the metal gate slide to the side and several footsteps go down the stairs to their headquarters.
“Jung Eui Sung!”
“Eui Sung-ah!”
It was Na Byeol together with Tae Joon and Soo Kyung. They saw that he was awake now, and rushed to his side. They wouldn’t have been able to do anything, but they simply had a strong need to make sure their teammate and friend was relatively okay. Obviously, he still felt the aftereffects of the drug, and was shaken to a great extent, but Roy was just in time to prevent something much more horrible from happening.
Their loud voices felt like someone was hitting Eui Sung’s head with a hammer. Against own desire, he flinched and quietly hissed.
Noticing that Roy has brought his finger to his lips, wordlessly telling everyone to mind their volume.
“Oh, sorry, sorry,” Soo Kyung whispered.
“How are you feeling?” Tae Joon asked, voice as soft and gentle as ever.
“Like shit,” he repeated his own words. “Okay, maybe just slightly better than when I’d woken up. My head’s killing me.”
“It’s gonna be like that for some time. I’m afraid you’ll have to get through it,” Roy said.
“How long?” Na Byeol turned to Roy with worried eyes.
“A day. Maybe two.”
Meanwhile Soo Kyung squatted next to Eui Sung and put her hand on his forehead. He leaned into her touch with gratefulness, as her cold hand felt medicinal to his devastating headache.
“What did we tell you, ah?” she murmured. “Be safe. Why didn’t you listen?”
“Sorry…” Eui Sung replied.
“Yeah, what did you do?” Na Byeol started.
“I got distracted, and he used the moment to spike my drink,” Eui Sung admitted to everyone.
“What?! How could you be so careless?”
“Na Byeol…” Tae Joon stopped her.
“It could be any of us,” Roy said. Everyone turned to him in question. “The couple were most likely his accomplices. It’s a classic scheme: some paid actors create a distraction and make the victim look away while the guy uses the moment to mix in the drug,” Eui Sung looked taken aback. He didn’t even consider the possibility that that wasn’t a coincidence. “Even if that didn’t work, no doubt they had a plan B, or even C. I’ve told you it’s not your fault.”
Soo Kyung gasped softly. “What rascals… Unbelievable.”
Eui Sung swallowed hard and then turned his eyes to Tae Joon. “What happened to Dae Kyung?”
“He’s at the police’s hands now. Drugging and kidnapping attempt is a completely different matter,” he said. “I’ve called detective Park right away, they’ve already searched their house. Turns out real estate fraud isn’t the worst of his crimes. They’ve found evidence of serial abduction and sexual assault, all documented with intent to blackmail the victims if they threaten to go to the police later.”
Eui Sung felt his throat close up just the smallest bit. That means if Roy hadn’t been there…
Soo Kyung ran her hand through his hair. “We’re just glad nothing too horrible happened,” she reassured, “and you’re safe now.”
You didn’t have to tell Eui Sung twice. The thought that something similar could happen to him made him physically shudder.
“What, do you need another blanket?” Na Byeol asked. And for the first time Eui Sung didn’t hear any sarcasm in her voice. It felt really weird.
“No…” he replied. “I’m just… a little freaked out I guess.”
“I know you don’t want to think about it right now, but you will need to give a statement to the police later when you’re better,” Tae Joon told Eui Sung Sung. “Would you be okay?”
Eui Sung pondered on it for a second. Right now all he wanted was to go back to sleep to forget about the whole thing and get rid of his horrible migraine. But they also needed to get that scumbag behind bars for as long as possible. So he gathered up his strength and nodded. “Yeah, that’s fine.”
“Okay, that’s good,” Tae Joon patted him on the shoulder. “Now… I and Soo Kyung have to go for now, but we’ll leave Roy and Na Byeol with you.”
“Rest up, Eui Sung-ah,” Soo Kyung told him and slightly ruffled his hair.
After that they both left.
Eui Sung was already exhausted by this whole interaction. And it was probably very noticeable since both Na Byeol and Roy turned around to leave him alone.
“Don’t go,” he unconsciously called out to them.
“We aren’t going anywhere, we’ll be around the headquarters,” Roy told him. “I just could use a snack.”
“Yeah, Leader would have our heads if we left you.”
“Oh, okay,” at this point Eui Sung’s eyelids were lowering on their own. “Don’t do anything weird to my face while I sleep,” he murmured.
“It would be very funny,” Na Byeol said, “but now we’re just not in the mood.”
But Eui Sung couldn’t hear those words anymore, he had already dozed off. He slept mostly peacefully, knowing that his teammates and best friends would watch over him and would not let anything or anyone get to him.

More batshit lawyering
Today I have fallen down the rabbit hole of a wild case with an even wilder lawyer.
My first intro to it was a lawtuber (Law & Lumber) who was confounded and perplexed by the dual docs he read: "Motion to Compel Lunch" and "Reply in Support of MTC Lunch."
If you're wondering is "compelling lunch" is what it sounds like, you're right: The plaintiff's lawyer felt he being ignored by the defendant's lawyer and tried to use the court to force him into having lunch so they could discuss the case. If I'm understanding things correctly, the Judge granted the compulsion but also said that the petitioner had to produce all the documents/evidence that the respondent has been requesting and set a hard date for that to happen.
Now let's back up and talk about the case for a moment. From what I've been able to gather it sounds like a woman (Laura, NOT LAUREN THE MORTICIAN) had sex with/gave a blowjob to/was raped by a man (Clayton Echard, former Bachelor star). She claimed to have gotten pregnant from this encounter and threatened to terminate the fetus(es) if Clayton didn't date her. I'm not sure what happened after that, but apparently it involved a miscarriage and her attempting to sue Clayton for a lot of money.
From the sound of it there are a whooole lot of questions surrounding pretty much everything to do with the alleged pregnancy and alleged miscarriage and it sounds to me like it was some kind of scam to try and extort money from Clayton. TBH, I don't really care about the case (beyond it being a shitty thing to lie about stuff like this). It's Laura's lawyer that is astounding.
David Gringas is the latest of many lawyers Laura has gone through. And he is an absolute sack of elephant diarrhea. He's the one who has been harassing Clayton's lawyer about "let's do lunch" (except by "lunch" he means beers & nachos, like the bros do). He's compared Clayton's fanbase to the KKK and referenced "special ed." He's boasted that he's the "Connor McGregor of litigation" (UFC champion?) and that he "look[s] forward to reading their obituaries."
His emails to Gregg Woodnick (Clayton's lawyer) are often aggressively-worded, condescending towards Mr. Woodnick's experience as a lawyer, boastful (of his own experience, of course), and have the kind of misguided threats of legal repercussions I've seen from people like Jeanette Braun. He so far hasn't provided any of the documentation/photos Woodnick has repeatedly requested in order to have experts go over them for veracity (this seems to be of more concern than usual since Laura has previously provided falsified information). It'll be interesting to see what happens with the judge ordering him to hand over that stuff (which may or may not even exist).
I want to see Davey go down in the flaming wreckage of his own hubris. And Mr. Woodnick deserves all the cookies for maintaining a professional front in the face of all this crap.

Their old pact from elementary school biting Kyle in the ass, since once one of them invokes the code no one can back out, until they’ve investigated. Even if the last time they nearly ruined the Valenti’s marriage. And Liz Ortecho has fancied herself Nancy Drew since the third grade.
content warnings: rape/non-con, graphic depictions of violence, underage, religious content (both positive and negative), past child abuse, past sexual abuse, cults, homophobia
Treading Water (Explicit, 16.962 words) WIP
summary: Kyle Valenti’s life keeps getting more and more complicated, between working shifts as an ADN and kickstarting the private investigation business he’d pinky swore to in elementary school. All while Alex and Liz attempt to keep their own careers and finish their degrees.
The Evans triplets are struggling to find where they belong in their social circle, thanks to Max’s dumbass choices.
Anatsa Mufaro finds herself in Roswell chasing a story that will lead to the beating heart of the town and threaten to ensnare her own.
Bonnie Parker has been missing for almost a month when her case finds itself added to all of their plates.

So he walked out the hotel, took a few shortcuts, and walked into the pub his da’ had chosen for their exchange. Like most conversations with the man, it was brutal and exhausting. He was looking forward to getting back to the hotel and napping.
It was while looking just over his dad’s shoulder, so he’d think Jamie was looking at him, that he saw a man at the bar dose a drink before passing it on to the lady beside him. Fuck, she’d been looking down to put her phone in her purse. Like it was a slow motion horror movie, Jamie saw her bring it to her lips and take a sip.
He was standing and moving before he’d really registered his intent.

1. Hey! I am looking for a fic that's about WWX and LWJ being happily married, happily adopting children, and I think JC wants to reconcile? The children all have "Si" as the first character of their name, because Lan Elders questioned them being LSZ's siblings? Or something? I think LSZ arranged the children to "suddenly" appear in front of his parents too and they are oblivious but JC finds out and is surprised how sly LSZ is? They have a house in the outskirts of Cloud Recesses I think. Thank you so much!

3. hi! looking for a fic i read at some point that had a scene (i think towards the end?) where someone lets slip something about LSZ's identity in front of JC (maybe WWX is being affectionate? or Sizhui says something to him or LWJ?) and for a second they all freeze because what if JC hates him for having been born a Wen, but instead JC's reaction is something along the lines of "oh thank god it IS you" + checking that that's what they meant and he really *was* Wen Yuan bc JC had looked during and after the siege but couldn't find a trace of him and had hoped all these years that LWJ's mystery kid was secretly Wen Yuan but never dared ask in case he wasn't, and so finding out it really was him all along is a huge relief.

9. For the next FF, I'm looking for 2 fics: (A) burial mounds arc, yiling Wei sect fic where they advertised cultivators could come perform the burial rites of their sects to lay to rest their dead from the resentful masses in the burial mounds. I think this made them a legit sect. (B) I'm not sure why but LWJ married WY, possibly to protect him? WY was severely injured by zidian and he was bedridden while LWJ was sent to the indoctrination. The one scene I recall is WY made a talisman that exploded a Wen attacker's head.

I've read 9A! Can't find it now, but perhaps additional info will help: there's a rouge cultivator hanging around the burial mounds, who turns out to be Madame Lan, and I think Lan Qiren recognizes her while on a visit to lay to rest Lan ghosts? Later he brings over LWJ and LXC for a reunion.

I barely remember the details about it but I know it's good and I want to read it again, and it was an incomplete work way back so I'm wondering if it's completed already.

14. Hi, I hope all is well with you.
I'm looking for 2 fanfics.
A - is wangxian, where lwj convinces wwx to return with him to gusu and remove his resentful energy and in return he will give a piece of land near the Cloud Recesses to the Wen Remnantslive in. but what lwj doesn't know is that resentful energy is the only thing keeping wwx alive. when trying to remove it he almost kills wwx and if wen qin hadn't been there it was very likely that he would have really died. Upon accepting LWJ's proposal, WWX knew he was going to die and asked LWJ to be the one to remove the resentful energy. has a happy ending.
B - lwj is a courtesan in a brothel near the tombs and wwx goes there for lwj's music to calm the resentful energy within him. when lwj calms the energy wwx returns to seem human. it's a fic where the monsters from the tombs come out to fight the wens and wwx is the patriarch of these monsters from what I remember.
thanks. @lilianeheart

Thing was that wei wuxian wasn’t actually one of the people sent back he was just told about it and he has to sit and stall while meng yao tries to turn him against I think lan xichen. I think it ends up with wei wuxian getting injured and knocked out after meng yao is stopped (still in wrh’s throne room)

Jinx lifts her face up, water dripping down her face, droplets falling from her chin, pooling around her feet on the bathroom floor. She opens her eyes and meets a pair of familiar ones in the mirror. Or, at least they used to be familiar. Nowadays she cannot exactly recognize herself. The person she used to be is long gone. Even her eyes can tell that.
She studies her face in the bathroom mirror. The greenish light makes everything seem even more wrong and uglier. Her hair is the wrong color - and now she notices how her braids have come a little undone - and the dark circles underneath her eyes have never looked worse. She looks like she’s dead. Maybe she is.
---
When the night ends in tears in the club's bathroom, Jinx decides it's time for her to hit the road. As she leaves the club she bumps into Caitlyn, who splashes her drink all over Jinx.

Irréversible is the second feature film by French director Gaspar Noé. The plot centers around two men, Marcus (Vincent Cassel) and Pierre (Albert Dupontel), in their attempt to avenge Alex (Monica Belluci), a rape victim. The film is notable for being told in reverse chronological order, and while this may drive some people away for being too pretentious, the way that information is revealed over the course of the film’s runtime remains inventive and engaging. There isn’t another film out there that I’ve seen even attempt to pull this off, making it entirely distinct. Then again, it is my second viewing of this controversial work. My thoughts are more or less the same after prior knowledge regarding what occurs in the story and to its characters, but there were certain aspects that I didn’t notice the first time around. For one thing, I was previously under the impression that there was only one notably long shot in this film, but it turns out most of what’s shown occurs in a single take. That’s immensely difficult to pull off, especially given the coordination and range of emotions these characters have to pull off in a period between two to ten minutes. The camerawork is also worth highlighting, because it starts off so chaotic at first, and slowly becomes less so as the story progresses. It fits the story to a tee. Of course, the notable scene I was referring to earlier is the rape (41m:02s-54m:02s), which is the first thing anyone mentions when discussing this film. Whether you love it or hate it, you cannot deny that it is a gratuitous showcase of a horrific act. Despite that factor potentially turning people off, there is meaning to be grasped from this scene in the context of what Noé is attempting to say about these kinds of events. How they can potentially inspire even more violence, for example (29m:46s-34m:18s), or how society reacts to this. Notice the inclusion of a bystander down at the very end of the hall at one point, and how much it adds to this message. It’s also ironic, considering how many people walked out of the film’s Cannes premiere. Even if taking the cynical route and labeling the entire experience as pointless, there is potential meaning to be grasped from needless acts. As someone who is familiar with some of Noé’s other work (Enter the Void, Climax), it’s obvious that he is not the kind of director who wants to tie up any loose ends in his stories. Rather, he wishes to create an uncomfortable experience for the audience. Sometimes, it’s in the most contrived way possible, but he always manages to succeed on that front. In terms of this particular story, this approach suits this unrelenting tragedy a lot more than it would others. The one primary issue that I still have with Irréversible is its dialogue. More often than not, it’s either way too over-the-top or boring. The latter description is prevalent in the train scene, where the characters talk in-depth about their thoughts on sex (01h:06m:27s-01h:15m:07s). Sure, we learn more about these characters from this interaction, but it’s way too drawn out for its own good. There’s also the scene at the Rectum, which reduces every attendee to a dated stereotype (15m:00s-24m:26s). Whether it’s referencing fudge packing or even considering the title of the place, the portrayal is anything but subtle, which ends up hurting the potential impact of this scene. If there’s one prominent weakness of Noé, it’s without a doubt his ability to write natural dialogue. He typically shines when a scene is tense, but don’t expect fully fleshed out character studies. Especially not here. Luckily, the actors end up working with what little they’re given and add believability to these events (54m:03s-01h:06m:27s). Overall, Irréversible is a film that shines visually along with its unique concept, but is brought down by some weak writing. In my opinion, Noé has made better movies since, but for his first outing in this more gratuitous style, it works for the most part. Regardless, this is something I will never forget watching.
