The ULTIMATE Wedding Day Timeline That Guarantees No Drama
Tumblr media
The journey from engagement to the wedding ceremony is an exhilarating one, filled with visions, planning, and a whirlwind of emotions. It can also be a slightly stressful time, but crafting a perfect wedding timeline for this journey can help ensure everything unfolds just as you envision. Whether you’re newly engaged or already deep in the throes of wedding planning, this guide will help you navigate the path from the time you say “yes” to the time you say, “I do”.
The Initial Weeks
Congratulations, you’re engaged! The first few weeks post-engagement should be about savoring this special time. Enjoy the bliss, share the news with your loved ones, and perhaps have an engagement party. This phase isn’t about diving into planning; it’s about relishing the joy of your new status with each other and your close ones.
Months 12 To 9
A year out from the wedding date you pick, the planning truly begins! Start by envisioning your ideal wedding – the style, size, and feel that you are looking for. This is also the time to set a budget, which will guide many of your decisions. Begin researching and visiting potential venues, especially since popular ones like The Park Savoy can book up quickly.
Months 9 To 6
With your venue and date set, the next step is securing key vendors. This includes your photographer, caterer, florist, and entertainment. These professionals are crucial in bringing your wedding vision to life, so take your time to find those who understand your style and needs. This is also a good time to start thinking about your wedding attire, giving yourself plenty of time for fittings and alterations. The good news is that The Park Savoy Estate makes this easy for you as we have a list of preferred vendors on our website!
Months 6 To 3
As your big day gets closer, it’s all about the details. Finalize your guest list, send out your invitations, and start planning the specifics of your ceremony and reception. Choose your menu, decide on decorations, and plan out the sequence of events for the day. This is also when you should be finalizing your honeymoon plans.
The Final Stretch
The last few months are for tying up any loose ends. Have final meetings with your vendors to confirm details, create a wedding day timeline, and start breaking in your wedding shoes. Don’t forget about obtaining your marriage license during this period. It’s also a good idea to start planning for any post-wedding tasks, like name change procedures if you’re planning to do so.
The Big Day
It’s here – your wedding day. All your planning and preparation culminate in this beautiful moment. Remember to take a step back and truly enjoy the day. It will pass quicker than you think. Trust your vendors, let go of the small stuff, and focus on celebrating your love and the start of this new chapter. The wedding coordinators at The Park Savoy are available to make sure your day runs smoothly so that you can truly enjoy it!
Plan Your Dream Wedding At The Park Savoy Estate
Planning a wedding is no small feat, but with a well-thought-out timeline, it can be a memorable and enjoyable journey. Remember, at the end of the day, it’s about celebrating your love and starting your life together surrounded by those who matter most. As you embark on this exciting journey, remember that the right venue can set the stage for your perfect day.

Everything you need to know about your future spouse right now
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Hey, thank you so much for choosing my reading.
🕯️As always, take what resonates and leave the rest🕯️
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
———————————————————————————————————
🤎Pile 1 - the Violine🤎
Cards: Empress, moon, sun, page of pentacles, knight of wands, world, devil, chariot, seven of cups, three of pentacles
Hello Pile, 1, let’s take a look into your reading:
This group must deal with a karmic partner before they meet your future spouse. This is most likely a person you already know and have been in some type of relationship/situationship with.
This person could seem to be like the perfect partner in the beginning. Extrovert, open, charming, and treating you like the empress, practically worshipping the ground you are walking on. But this person has some type of duality to them, switching between the sun and the devil. And you already know about this. You probably have lots of anxiety, sometimes feeling that this person seems too good to be true while you know exactly that something is very off with the person. My mind went extremely foggy as I write this, and it gets really hard to even concentrate.
With this person it can be that you are living in some type of illusion, only trying to see the positive while the devil himself is speaking to you as soon as they open their mouth. This person might be overly obsessed with material goods (some may even be gold diggers?)
So, this is either a person you are currently involved with or someone you have already parted ways with. For most of you I don’t see this to be a person that is coming into your life in the future.
If the first case applies to your situation, you know exactly what you should do, cause this person is not YOUR person. Your person will fit you like a glove in all the best way possible.
If you have already split ways with this person all you need it to be patient and make sure, that this person stays in the past where they belong. To every one of you who thought about calling them up again – this is your sign to definitely not do this!
Pile 1, you basically can do nothing but be patient and believe that everything will be happen at divine timing.
I wish you the very best💕.
Signs that this reading is for you: red car, violins, party in the USA by Miley Cyrus, steven and taylor from TSITP (specifically their dance scene), water parks, thinking about getting your car checked, a football, yellow smileys, savoy cabbage, telephone by lady gaga, Naya Rivera, Kurt Hummel
—————————————————————————————————————
💛Pile 2 - the letters💛
Cards: the fool, knight of cups, knight of pentacles, page of swords, 8 of wands, two of wands, tower, ten of wands, 5 of wands Hello pile 2, let’s dive deep into your reading.
First of all, your future spouse is an entirely new person to you. Might be someone who lives currently at a distance from your and/or someone you might meet on vacation or while moving abroad. With the 8 of wands your person may be come into your life as a huge surprise, fully out of the blue when you least expect it.
I also got the feeling that this might be happen way sooner than you think right now. For the ones of you (this is not for everybody) who are currently manifesting their FS, congratulations your manifestations work out perfectly. But please try to obsess about this person a little less ;) the Universe will deliver your FS on divine timing.
Either you or your future partner (or the both of you) is not very experienced regarding long term relationships, even though I rather feel that this is about your FS. This does not mean that they have never dated someone before you, but simply that they never had a relationship where they were really vulnerable at open with the other party. Your person comes off as someone who seems rather harsh with their words, you may often feel criticized by them even though they did not intend to deliver their words this way. Your Fs may was an equestrian when they were in elementary / middle school.
This person has had their fair share of traumatic experiences which shaped them the way they are, coming of as harsh and rude in order to protect themselves. It’s literally giving “looks like they could kill you, is a cinnamon roll”. Aww, pile 2, your person really is a softie deep down, but you will have to peel them like an onion, to really get to know this layer of your person. This person felt misunderstood in their early years a lot.
I also get kind of prince charming /Disney vibes from them. Like someone who loves to play knight in shining armour and your savior. It will be really important to your person that you make them feel like they are the only one for you. As soon as they have the feeling you might be entertaining someone else, they will be leaving. Really insecure at heart.
They might be having some tattoos, but nothing spontaneous since it feels like your person is not the risky type. Every tattoo they have has some type of meaning for them (but others may not really get it). Most of these tattoos are on their arms and legs. Motive wise they tend to get for animal motives (butterfly, dolphins, tigers are the images that popped up in my head).
There might be an age gap between the two of you but nothing to wild (probably 5 to 10 years at max)
The energy of this reading was by far my most favorite one, since everything felt so calm and kinda set but also really passionate at the same time ;)
Hope you enjoyed your reading, Pile 2, wish you all the best.
Signs that this message is for you: smoothies, plums, random noises, orange, emergency lights, whats app group chats, “papa was a rolling stone”, baby blue cars with a white roof, moustache, travis kelce, caterpillar, rainbow, you could be part of the LGBTQ+ community, cardigan, your sister offering something to you, light car accidents,
————————————————————————————————————
🩶Pile 3- the chess🩶
Cards: the fool, page of cups, tower, ace of wands, 5 of wands, the emperor, justice, 8 of pentacles, 5 of cups, the chariot.
Hello pile 3, let’s start with some basic things about your future spouse before we dive into your relationship dynamic :)
The very first thing I heard about your future spouse is, that this is an entirely new person to you. I don’t know if you have watched pretty little liars, but your future spouse is giving me major Toby Cavanaugh vibes (if you haven’t watched the show, I suggest you look up the character online).
It could also be that your FS is be a Cop or a craftsman (might not apply for everyone). With the emperor card coming out for you, it also seems like your future spouse is someone stable and/or financially well off.
So, let’s get a deeper look in your dynamic as a couple: As written above, your future things are someone with a pleasant amount of money – so get ready to be spoiled ;) gift giving is probably their love language, but I see them rather making you the gifts by themselves than spending money of jewelry or perfume or something like this. It is more like Toby gifting Spencer the chair he has built for her.
Ya’ll are going to be a very happy couple; I saw lots of pink tones which means you could still be wearing your rose-colored glasses after years being of being with each other. You could also love spending time near large water bodies (at the beach, on a boat or you are going to live in a city near the ocean or a famous lake with them).
I did not get that much on your relationship dynamic itself, but I got an important warning for you: with the tower card and the 5 of cups you will need to leave your past completely behind to make your relationship work. Crying and reminiscing about ex-lovers, past situationships or anything of that kind will highly exacerbate your future with your FS.
At some point (could be at the beginning of your Relationship or in the middle if you still are with one foot in the past at that point), there will be a tower moment because of your past, which will lead to you making the choice to fully close these chapters and focus on your new partner (since I did not get any cards that suggest that you will break up, I believe that there won’t be a break up or partially split because of this tower moment) The two of you are each other’s end game, and your future spouse is your promised new opportunity of finding the love and luck you deserve.
I wish you all the best, pile 3. You totally got this.
Signs that this message is for you: black cat, game of thrones (especially the iron throne), the colors green and pink, 999, sunscreen (SPF 50+), color red, dried flowers, circles, “to the stars who listen and the dreams that are answered”, Rhysand from Acotar, Ben Barnes, pumpkin spice late, cheddar cheese, sunflower, compass, chess game

Season of Love (5/?)
+18 | Toto x reader fem!teamprincipal, romance, comedy, and some good drama.
Summary: One night on a pier in Monaco, while admiring the sea under the night skies, you tell Toto: "I came to the conclusion that love is simply not meant for me." That's the answer to a question you have been asking yourself for the longest time. But what if he proved you wrong? Author's note: This is a multichapter Toto Wolff x team principal reader fic set along a season of F1. It's a very immersive story full of drivers, team dynamics, races, mystery, and smut. You just bought the Williams team, but nobody really knows who you truly are.
< Previous chapter | Masterlist | Next chapter >
Dances with Wolff Arc Chapter 5: Cold tires, warm heart
UK
The weather stays cold all day long at Silverstone; the crisp air bites your skin, causing shivers down your spine, and your breath forms small clouds before you as you walk briskly to the campsite area where the luxury motorhomes & RVs are parked, yours included, huddled in layers of warm clothing, feeling drained as the rest of the grid feels, seeking an opportunity to lay down and rest. 
Everyone warned you the mid-season was tough on the body, and they were right! As you drag yourself inside your luxurious, trendy, and sophisticated RV. The sleek and clean design aesthetic greets you; it's a zen monochromatic color scheme space full of high-end finishes, innovative storage solutions, elegant sofas, and a large comfy bed with a kitchenette and bathroom, creating the perfect getaway place for you away of the chaos at the paddock.
You share your location and access code with Toto, but he doesn't reply to your text. You assume he must be busy, so you fall soundly asleep on the bed there until you feel a pair of muscular arms hug and softly spoon you, half-waking you up.
You feel Toto's firm body against yours, with no inch of space between you two, as he wraps you in a tender and affectionate display of intimacy; your bodies intertwine as he seeks your warmth.
—I missed you so much —you turn to tell him, kissing him softly. —It feels wrong not having you by my side —you find the courage to let Toto know how you felt these past days without him, breaking the room's quietness, then burying your face in his neck, feeling shy and vulnerable and softly smooching it. 
He caresses your cheek with his index finger and slowly kisses your lips, leaving you breathless after a few minutes.
Toto seems exhausted as you peek at him while patiently waiting for him to comment on your confession, but he only looks pensively at your words as he rests his temple on yours. You sense his right hand caressing down your arm on its way to hold your hand. Then he pulls you closer to his chest, where you get cozy and fall asleep again.
-
One text, two texts, five texts.
—She is not answering —Michael says, a bit taken out.
One call, two calls, five calls.
—He is not answering —Niki says, quite concerned.
-
Once again, you wake up after a bit, feeling dozy and disoriented as you hear an iPhone ringing in the distance, still nestled in Toto's embrace, overwhelmed with tranquility and happiness but fucking annoyed at that damn ringtone. 
The softness of the bed, the heat of Toto's closeness, and the gentle rise and fall of his breaths make it a cozy heaven you don't want to leave, but that goddamn annoying phone doesn't let you nap and is about to wake him up too, and you want him to rest.
So you bravely drag yourself to your feet, hating life, and walk straight to Toto's duffel travel bag to search for his iPhone buzzing inside. To your surprise, you find it next to a torn and used voucher for "Cocktails for 2" at The Savoy Hotel in London, along with his passport. 
As you pick up his phone to turn it off, you wake it and notice that Toto still hasn't changed his wallpaper; he appears there posing in a pottery studio couple session, all smiley, with Susie wrapped in his arms, both of them looking in love and joyful as the professional camera lens captures their handsomeness, they look like they belong together. 
You can't avoid the sting of pain and insecurity washing you over, but you take the thought off. It's probably nothing, you try to convince yourself. So you finish turning his phone off and leaving it where you found it.
Then you turn off yours, ignoring all the red bubbles in it, on your way back to Toto's arms. All you want right now is him and you, and fuck the rest of the world. This "relationship," if you can call it that, is meant to crash soon, so you want to hang on to it as much as possible.
-
Two hours have passed since then, and Toto's hands are now roaming across your back, guiding your movements as you are in a cowgirl position on him. At the same time, his tongue dances erotically with your tongue, adding a sweet and sinful layer to your passionate embrace.
Your moans echo throughout the RV, blending perfectly with the rhythmic creaking of the bed frame beneath you. Toto's breathing grows heavier as you ride him hungrily, showing how much you miss him.
As he explores your curves, Toto begs you: —Bounce on my cock —with a voice husky with desire and with trembling hands, and you give him what he craves, exploding with pleasure as each time more desperately you go up and down his shaft.
Your nipples stiffen, them peeking out from beneath the fabric of your dress; this time, you didn't even care to take all of your clothes off; they were begging for his attention. Toto can't resist it; he leans in, pulls down the upper part of your dress, and captures one in his mouth, sucking it gently as his tongue teases its sensitive tip.
—Oh, God! —you cry, arching your back with pleasure. —That feels heavenly.
Toto releases your breast, looking up at you with a sultry grin. —Wait till it's my turn to show you how much I missed you —he purrs, hands dancing all over your ass.
As you are about to reach an orgasm, you can't escape the guilty thought in the back of your mind. —We shouldn't even be here, less doing this —you say in between tiny breaths and moaning a bit. —It was irresponsible for me to text you to come over —you protest weakly. —This could be no good for our careers —releasing a big moan as you finish the sentence, not being able to stop rocking yourself on Toto, moving now your hips in circles. His dick is so hard, and it feels so delicious all the way inside you.
Toto shrugs nonchalantly, then growls, his eyes smoldering lustfully, enjoying the sight of you going all over him. —I was planning to look for you anyway. Do you want us to stop and leave? —he replies, out of breath.
—No.
Toto gives you an "I agree" in the form of thrust, hitting you with such force that causes you to scream out in pleasure and unstabilize you, making you quickly place both of your hands on his chest to not fall on his face.
Then, his strong arms wrap you around the waist, holding you steady as he moves in rhythmic strokes that push your boundaries. Each withdrawal leaves you craving more, and each entry pleases you; he starts speeding up, making you moan out his name many times as the sounds of your body colliding fill the air. It's a symphony of pure passion.
—You make me feel so... complete... and free... and loved —You gasp out, voice shaking as Toto's powerful thrusts drive you deeper into the realm of satisfaction.
For some reason, feelings are bursting out of you in the form of words lately, freeing your thoughts without thinking much about the repercussions, being weirdly open and sincere for once in your life. Maybe it's because your period is near, and you always feel more emotional around that time; you lie to yourself, not wanting to admit falling for him because you know it will hurt more when it's over, which is sadly approaching.
It's not only the sexual part that makes you feel so whole with him. It's also his small displays of affection, his caring texts every morning to know how you slept, to let you know you are one of his first thoughts of the day, or the long conversations about anything you two share, the pictures you send to each other of the most mundane things to share life.
That makes you always feel him present and being taken care of. Also, the many times you advise each other, from billionaire businessman to billionaire businesswoman, or the quiet moments when you two are silently wrapped in each other's arms, just enjoying your presence and bodies.
—Toto, I'm so close! —you moan loud as he manhandles you around; you feel yourself dripping and so warm, like your pussy is burning. Your pussy folds, rubbing around Toto's shaft, who positions himself to pound you against the mattresses.
Then you feel him shifting his entire weight on you, topping you, and placing his thumb finger inside your mouth for you to suck it. —Then cum for me —he whispers, hot against your ear. He starts to fuck you hard like that, making your ass wable, and the bed squeaks so loud as he pins you down against the sheets, but all get muffled by the sounds he is provoking you to release. You feel a bit of pain in your hips and lower back as he slaps hard against you.
With a big moan, you cum all over him, all red and sweaty.
Toto has never had this before, someone so willing to please him, in all senses, someone so light-spirited and carefree. He is trying so hard not to fall for you, too. You please him like no one else in bed but also outside of it. You are the whole fucking package. 
If change didn't fright him, he would be willing to try.
He would venture for more if he weren't so scared of failure.
Toto feels a responsibility for Susie and her feelings and heart; she counts on him for this, and Toto has never missed his duties since he was a young man, even if his heart desires something else.
He ended up agreeing to try the "open relationship thing" after saying no to it at first and breaking things with Susie because she showed up very distressed one night at his hotel room door, crying and saying how much she still loves him and how hard this is, that he shouldn't punish her for not wanting children. Toto felt so guilty; that wasn't his intention, but what if she was right?
But you happened in the middle of this. By accident or destiny is a cruel joker. This fling started like that, and it was supposed to stay there, not this. 
He pays attention to you more than you think; he has noticed the meaning and sentiment of your words lately and can't avoid feeling guilty for not being as open and honest as you deserve and how you are being. But Toto knows you will end it as soon as he lets you know you are his free pass on an open relationship agreement, so he is hanging on to you as much as possible. It's selfish and wrong, but he doesn't know how to quit you, how to say no to this, how to say goodbye.
Only if Toto knew.
Only if you knew.

—Is Torger still in London?! —Niki asks out loud, now absolutely annoyed, addressing Sam in the middle of the circus inside the Mercedes garage as he tries to manage everyone for the opening ceremony of the F1 anniversary race, set to start in about 20 minutes. 
Toto is always on time and never misses something without previous notice; this is uncharacteristic. Niki hadn't seen him all day; they had different schedules.
Lewis and George are scheduled to make donuts driving along with the other grid drivers. They all will do the same simultaneously to create a fog while AC/DC performs on a high-stage platform.
—Toto is here. I saw him a couple of hours ago. His phone seems out of reach —Sam has sworn never to lie to Niki. She quickly picks up her phone to call you, knowing you are also missing after being asked for the fourth time by several Williams team members if she had seen you around. WHAT A COINCIDENCE! It is evident for her where you two are. 
Since you don't answer the texts she bombards you with, she takes action and puts her feet in motion.
"You can't act this recklessly!" Sam thinks and looks visibly irritated. People are going to start wondering, especially when you two idiots arrive late with "we just fucked" hair and satisfied expressions at the paddock, and God forbids you two to show up together at the same time! Or worse, you two do not arrive at all.
-
Sam shows up at your RV's door, almost tearing it down, betting Toto and you were in there this whole time.
—Are you mental?! —Sam tells you, looking stressed, as the door's mechanism finishes opening.
—I'm sorry —you honestly apologize, knowing quite well what she refers to.
—Niki is furious! —she informs you, still at the bottom of the stairs and out of the RV's entrance, with no visible intention to come in. —Toto is still in there? —she asks in a low voice, pointing with her head.
You nod.
She comes closer to you, almost whispering to your ear. —Please don't get offended. I love you, but I know you are not here because of the sport, nor do you care which team wins or not; I know this is not your actual job. But please, could you...
You interrupt Sam, finishing for her in a sad tone. —Not interfere?
—I... —Sam sighs; she doesn't want to blame you or make you feel bad; she gets it, knows what you are going through, and wants more than anyone else for you to be happy. —Listen, our team is working its ass off; there are thousands of us relying on performing the best, and this is our livelihood; it worries me that this could...
—It won't happen again; I get it. I know we acted unprofessional. Sam, you understand how hard it has been for me... I'm just... I'm just trying to enjoy life for the first time, to feel happy and free for once; YES! I'm sorry it wasn't the place or the moment, but...
—I know, I know —she quickly adds. —Listen —Sam gets a little nervous and hesitates before adding. —I think you two, really, should talk openly and honestly about your "situation." I don't wish any of you hurt. Please talk —she sounds insistent, which worries you a bit.
—Yeah. Okay. I agree.
—Are you showing up for this Massi's wet dream? —Sam tries to lift the mood and return to the main topic.
—Toto is —you inform her. —He is finishing getting ready in the bathroom. I'm not. I will watch it at the hotel —now is your turn to come closer to Sam's ear and whisper. —I have to prepare for the call; Pascal set the meeting at 2 a.m., and we will rerun the scenario.
—It's good to know; I hope it all goes as planned and well —Sam says, looking relieved as she hugs you goodbye and leaves before bumping into Toto.
-
Toto claims "food poisoning" to excuse himself and that he spent hours feeling nauseous at his motorhome, as he makes it just in time at the garage. It's a white lie everyone buys. Actually, this happened once to him in Spain after going out for dinner.
Niki notices he has far too much color on his cheeks, for that matter, but chooses to let it go. Toto has been far more than responsible for many years, which has significantly cost him a lot in his personal life; Niki feels he deserves and needs some recklessness and happiness in his life. So, he plays along.
He softly pats Toto's shoulder and gives him a small smile as he sits beside him at the workstation and places his headphones and gear on.
The show is about to start.
-
The F1 anniversary's opening ceremony is the most glamorous affair! Bringing together a star-studded guest list of celebrities, like every big name, is there. 
And there are way too many influencers wandering around the garages for Michael's likes; he lets you know as soon as you call him back, excusing yourself for leaving the circuit, calling it a personal emergency.
Minutes later, you turn on your hotel room's TV to watch the start of the ceremony. A spectacular video mapping and drone display showcases the sport's rich history on the circuit track. It displays iconic footage on the many kilometers of asphalt as broadcast to millions of viewers worldwide. 
This is followed by a visually captivating driver's parade in which current drivers donned old-fashioned racing suits representing different eras of their teams, paying homage to the evolution of the sport as they get driven around interloped with cars with performers giving it all and working the crowds, till they make it to the main stage, where AC/DC comes out to close the show. 
In the middle of their set, all the grid drivers exhibit their coordination skills, making donuts together as the cherry on the cake, leaving fans ecstatic. You must admit it looked so cool. Massi must be shitting his pants!
Your room service order comes just in time as the race starts; you asked for too many desserts and sweets along with your salmon; you are feeling low and are taking comfort in the delicious food you savor, an unhealthy habit of yours, eating your feelings. 
Toto let you know before leaving, in between kisses, that he was attending a Mercedes team dinner after the race to celebrate with the team so that you would be sleeping alone tonight. You were so grateful for it, avoiding the trouble of making out an excuse to be able to attend the late-night meeting in private.
Sam is right; you aren't taking any of this seriously enough. 
-
The entire Mercedes team gathers in one of the most glamorous and lavish restaurants in London, "Amazónico." It is the coolest place Sam has been in a while, full of foliage-festooned walls and decor inspired by the rainforest of Brazil. Gorgeous velvets, greenery environments, and deco touches give the place an exotic yet luxurious vibe.
The mechanics and engineers, usually in their sports attire, look sharp in elegant outfits, and the mood is ON! Drinks flow as Toto gives a motivational speech to start the night, congratulating the team for their performance so far and inspiring them to give their all to secure the championship, acknowledging the fierce competition from Williams and Ferrari.
Susie and Toto are by the bar; she is sitting on the stool with her arms resting on the shoulders of a standing Toto as they chat, almost mouth-on-mouth, looking joyful.
Niki looks bemused as he watches them from afar, already sitting at the main large table the venue arranged for them and where they are about to have dinner. He addresses Sam, sitting to his right, without moving his gaze from the couple. —Weren't they..?
—Apparently, they are not —Sam gives him a look as she looks for something in her purse.
Niki looks as disappointed and surprised as she is as he nods to her, lets out a small, barely audible sigh, and sips his bourbon.
-
As Sam gets hammered with Bono and Annalise, Toto reaches them at the booth near the back of the place. He stays on his feet, waiting for them to finish their round of shots on a spinner wheel, and then bends to talk to a very comfortable, sitting, and tipsy-looking Sam with pink-red cheeks.
—What are your plans for tomorrow? —he asks her a bit loud, over the set the DJ is playing.
—Nothing, just chilling and recovering from this night; why?
—To hang out and tourist around, like we always do or did, how about that?
—Aw, you miss me, asshole?
—You are a necessary evil, but yeah, I miss you. 
—Why does everyone seem so emotional lately? I hope it's not contagious.
—We have lots to catch on to; I feel it's been ages and pure work between us.
—Please tell me if it's terminal.
—No, you moron, I'm totally fine —he swings his hand a bit too hard, spilling some of his drink.
"Then tell your eyes, liar! Yeah, all drunk at a work event? Sure, you are TOTALLY fine," Sam thinks. —I'm free, then. Will she join us?
—Who? —Toto looks taken off guard, thinking of you instead of Susie, whom Sam refers to.
—Sus, since she is around again.
—Sam, I...
—Oh, no, it's none of my business. I would rather it that way; I'm just asking.
—No, she isn't; it will be just us.
—Good —she ends the conversation.
"Is Sam mad at me? She sounded like it." Toto thinks. It's always hard to read her.
-
As the night is about to end and everyone seems drunk, Toto comes to cool down and relax after being forced to hit the dance floor against his will. He is not feeling it tonight, so he chooses to sit next to Niki and chat with him.
Toto is not on his usual dumb and lively drunk ass; he is weirdly somber. In the middle of their casual conversation, Niki asks him: —So, who changed their mind? —knowing what's up as he looks at Susie dance with George.
—About?
—Having children.
There is a long silence while Toto looks at Susie, laughing and throwing some moves around the dancefloor.
—I'm giving it a try.
Niki slowly nods and says nothing, and Toto stares at him. He recognizes Niki's disappointed face when he sees it, and Toto takes another big sip of his drink, swallowing hard.
-
You wake up late the following day after falling asleep around 5 a.m. once the call ends, feeling emotionally drained and not wanting to leave the bed. But when in Rome, you mean London. Nothing will lift your spirits more than going shopping; you are a shoes and purses maniac, and that new Miu Miu collection screams your name.
You are in the middle of buying half of Harrods when you receive a text from Toto.
"I won't be able to stay with you these days as I was hoping, I'm expected at Brackley. See you on the weekend. I miss you already."
Great, just what you needed.
-
Still in the UK
The British GP is here! And most of you already feel like you had enough Silverstone already.
Since Lewis swept the floor with everyone on the anniversary race, a similar result is expected for this weekend.
The FIA calls you all into one of the now traditional meetings, but this time around, Massi is expected to join in.
So when you arrive at that sad meeting room, he is standing right there next to the door; you are the last one to join, so he is facing you while waiting for you to finish stepping in to close the door after you, and you don't let go an opportunity like that.
As you step in, you hand him your coat and purse as if he were the receptionist and thank him, motioning to tip him as the entire room laughs.
Massi looks so confused and appalled at you, getting taken entirely off guard, but follows along, not knowing what else to do, or if you are serious or just messing around, still holding your things in his hands, and places your coat on the hanger and your purse on the empty chair next to yours.
—The nerve —Sebastian tells you in a low voice and takes a discrete bow at you with his hands as you sit on your chair next to his. Vettel is hiding behind Charles in the row in front of him, trying so hard not to burst out laughing. Both your eyes sparkle as your looks lock and smile at each other. Seb has the most gorgeous eyes on earth.
Then the meeting starts.
-
After being freed from that, you are walking down the pitlane on your way to free practice, chatting and fooling around with Carlos, Lando, and Mick, but suddenly, you stop just meters away from the Mercedes' slot. 
Lewis and George join you as soon as they notice you guys and come out of their garage, staring amusedly at a very frozen you as they reach you.
—Is that..? —you say, peeking inside the Merc's garage. —Oh, my God! Is that ROGER FEDERER?! —you let out in a funny and pitchy little scream.
George starts to laugh behind his hand, covering his mouth. You sound hilarious, and he looks at you in delight as you act all star-struck. Who would tell?
Carlos takes a few steps nearer you and closes your mouth, softly pushing your chin up with his index finger. —You are drooling —he jokes.
You go all red, tomato red, as you return to your senses.
Lewis sees the perfect opportunity for mayhem. —Oh, I'm so introducing you two! —He returns to the garage as quickly as possible to look for Roger.
—WHAT!? NONO! —you say way too loud as you watch him go, causing a couple of mechanics to raise their heads and look your way.
Lewis abruptly interrupts the engaging conversation Federer is having with Toto.
You start hyperventilating as Lewis walks alongside Roger straight in your direction. Toto observes the scene from the distance, with his muscular arms crossed. You feel his dark eyes on you.
You can't even form a greeting sentence when the Swiss introduces himself to you. A funny sound comes from your lips that sounds like a "Hi!" 
Millie looks at you, astonished, as she comes closer with Normani after the guys pointed at her with their hands and arms a "Come see this, please." She pivots her gaze from you to Normani and back with an "I think she broke" expression.
Meanwhile, your brain goes: "Roger is tall, hot, hot. Jesus, that smile! Is that chest real? Oh god, don't you dare peek down at his grey sweatpants!" as you stand there like an idiot without moving or saying something.
There are a couple more seconds of pure and awkward silence till Lando's stupid, mocking little laugh gets you out of your trance. Oh, the group is living for this!
—Delighted to meet you, Roger. I'm Y/N!
The group burst out laughing at your expense, enjoying the spectacle from afar, watching you try to act human around Federer until he turns his head their way. Now, they are all gathered together, sensing their stares, and the group quickly goes apart, acting like nothing has happened, returning to their activities.
—Is it me, or is Wolff not enjoying their interaction? —Normani asks Millie as they both intertwine arms and walk away together.
—Toto!? —Millie turns her head, looking back at a serious-looking Austrian inside the garage. —I don't think so. He always looks serious. I guess it's just his resting face, but he is such a cinnamon roll.
—A cinnamon roll? What language do you speak?
—English, Miss Posh Britain Got Talent.
Normani rolls her eyes at her. She is bonkers.
-
—In my defense... —you start to tell the table later, as all of you try to fit into a tiny table in the McLaren cafeteria; this time, Lando is sponsoring the lunch, and as you munch your veggies wrap.
—There's no defense —Carlos mocks you.
You toss your arms in the air, mouth still full of food, to protest as everyone laughs again at your interaction with Federer.
—We witnessed one of your canonic events —Mick jokes, making Millie almost fall from her half of the chair they are sharing.
—Oh, it was hilarious —Lewis adds.
—A masterpiece —Lando admits. —That coming from me —he points at himself with a thumb finger. —It means A LOT.
You finish passing the food and clear out your throat before continuing. —In my defense, Roger was wearing the slutiest thing a man could wear, and my brain was trying to process it.
All the boys look inquisitive at you with a please tell us more face.
—The grey sweatpants! —Millie and Normani answer for you simultaneously, agreeing with your statement.
—See! —you give them all a funny face.
—I still don't get it —Lando says.
—OH GOD! Go put on a pair of grey pantsuits and look down at your dick, and tell us —Sam teases him, done with him.
—Don't you remember that viral Lewis "I have an anaconda down here" mirror Instagram selfie with the grey sweatpants? —Millie says.
—That a friend told you about! —Seb jokes, addressing Millie.
—THAT A FRIEND OF HERS TOLD HER ABOUT! That that friend isn't me —Normani joins in the fun.
—With all due respect, Sir —Millie adds, looking at Lewis, who is laughing and trying to hide his red face in the gap his flexed arms are creating, lying on the table's surface.
—So... Do you like your men in grey sweatpants? Good thing I have four of those to wear —Lando tells you, moving his eyebrows suggestively up and down several times.
—OH GOD, PLEASE NOT! —the entire table screams.
-
Toto joins you that night in your hotel room; the two of you don't feel like doing anything fancy; just spend the evening together. After playing a competitive round of "Talk, Flirt, and Dare," as you stack up the board game cards for the next round, he asks you. —So, Tennis? Of all sports... Tennis?!
—Yeah, it's fun! —you slowly approach Toto; he is sitting on the rug next to the game placed on the coffee table between you in the living area, looking comfortable, relaxed, and shirtless after taking a dare card, currently only wearing his briefs. 
You slide a hand on his neck and chest before sitting on his lap, facing him. He wraps your waist with his toned arms and pulls you closer. Whispering against your lips —How?
—Well
—If you say so... —he shrugs. —For me, it's boring; there's not much adrenaline in it.
—Well, not all sports have to be lethal, you know? I thought you would like it since it is fast-paced —you make a thinking gesture by rubbing your chin.
—You have seen him play?
—Who? —you reply, trying to act dumb.
—Federer —he says pretty sternly.
—Several times, yeah.
—Are you one of those girls who follow him around? He told me about his groupies —he teases, but there is a jealous undertone.
—What? No, no. I don't like him like that.
Toto gives you a look that you read as "Really, girl? Closed fist, big long acrylic nails." —Uhm! If I remember correctly, you went all over him today; I think I have never seen you smile that big before —he adds. —You must look delighted in those selfies you took with him before you gave him that private tour of the Williams garage. Did he really get into the car? He passed with us. Did he like the driver's helmet you gifted him?
How on earth did Toto know about all that? That man has eyes everywhere.
—Hey, listen, I met one of my heroes FOR THE FIRST TIME and, AND, I got a bit excited! —you comb your hair with your hand. Toto's eyes can't avoid peeking at your tits as they wiggle with your arm movement. You also ended up shirtless; that sheer bra leaves nothing to the imagination.
Then he arches an eyebrow at your answer. A "bit excited" is downplaying. —He made you lose words, at first, then got you all over him, but sure "a bit excited", so, he looks better up close, or..?
—AND I got carried away. I admit it was a little embarrassing —Yep, Toto is envious. —He is okay, yeah. Are you jealous?
—Yes, completely —he purrs dangerously against your mouth, and you feel his warm breath brushing your lips. —Lucky for me, that guy is off the market —he looks intensely at you.
You kiss Toto, melting for him inside. —I wouldn't pick him over you —you pause to reassure him and keep kissing him. —I wouldn't pick anyone else over you —more kissing. —You are all I want.
Toto reacts weirdly. He gives you a look you don't know how to read; it's full of devotion, but there's something else, like anger. Is he that possessive, or is there something else?
You feel like following Sam's advice, and this may be the perfect moment for it.
But he senses you are about to open a conversation he isn't ready to have. Toto hates himself for it, so he quickly and softly moves you to get on his feet and asks you if you want another glass of wine. He is already taking your glass and walking to the winery, leaving you alone with your thoughts.

thinking about that interview with jasmin savoy where she talks about how tai losing her sense of fashion as the wilderness story line progresses shows a loss of her sense of self, and like. if we assume that's an intentional costuming choice, that is soooo interesting with adult! tai.
before the crash, tai dressed in a way that was bright and bold and stylish. like it was feminine, but it was very bold. child! tai had brightly colored ponytail holders. she didn't dress in a way that made her... smaller, even though it was also more "feminine".
adult tai in season 1 when she's really in her I Am Going to be a State Senator and I Have This Figured Out, Yeah! it's feminine and professional and most of all unimposing. i think it's a great way of showing how much she's melted into simone in trying to shape what the adult tai she might have been would look like.
in later season 2, when she's back with van, we see her in all of van's clothes: 90s butch aesthetic. which is just another indication of that loss of identity. tai had a solid idea of who she was and who she was going to keep being before the crash, but she's spent so much time repressing everything that now she doesn't have a clue, it's just modeling herself off the women in her life. like ann perkins from parks and rec but with way more lesbian trauma

Power of Music
Tumblr media
"How on earth do I get this playlist off?" Giacomo was despairing. He had picked up his luxurious Mercedes S-Class at Heathrow. And even though he had just under two hours to drive to Bristol, he would be hard-pressed to endure it. And he was in for a tough negotiation. Real estate projects requiring the demolition of rental housing were never popular. But usually lucrative. Gangsta rap droned in his head. Now that he was out of the parking garage and off the airport property, it wasn't so bad either. In fact, he was even starting to enjoy the music a little. He couldn't understand a word of what was being sung. His English was pretty bad. But the rhythm was good.
He pulled onto the highway, accelerated, and turned up the music. He was very proud of his car. He had had to save up for it for a long time. But his VW Scirocco just went well with the music. Tuned. Set lower. Sports exhaust. Foiled in matte black. Pure testosterone on wheels. Giacomo nodded in beat with the music. And kneaded his cock. How horny it would be if a bitch sucked him off while he drove, like in the song. The black virgin wool of his suit pants became smoother and shinier. By the time the next song started, his Adidas track pants were already tucked into his white tennis socks at the bottom.
Jake loved the lyrics. Violence, drugs, fast and expensive cars. A kick ass world. Even if it wasn't really his. He had to see that he could pay gas and lease payments. When he was hungry, he didn't go to the Savoy, he went to McDonald's. And now he was hungry. He pulled into the parking lot, put on his cap, put on his alpha jacket, and went to get a burger.
Tumblr media
In an hour, he would hopefully be in Bristol. De-occupying apartments was a lucrative job. Some Italian investor was going to tear down some houses there. All Jake had to do was listen to loud music and piss in the stairwell. He took a big gulp of the Coke. With the pissing in the stairwell, he would probably be able to start right away in one.

warning: language mean reader
a/n: my heart hurts the next one will be better I promise
Jenna Ortega x fem! reader
Tumblr media
2 months had passed you and Jenna have not talked since which was driving you crazy did she really mean what she said or was it just drunken words now that you will never know the alarm had went on you were supposed to be on set at 10 and it is currently 8 am you got ready made a suitcase since you were staying I the trailer for the next 2 weeks you got everything you need and got ready you made yourself some chocolate milk right when you were about to leave ky stopped you “y/n did you get your books?” you may have forgot that the exams are starting in 4 weeks and for 2 of those weeks you will be in the trailer so for a fact you NEEDED those books “nope, but thanks for the reminder” you grabbed your books got both the car and dorm key and as you were about to leave you gave ky a kiss to her forehead “thanks ky I will miss you tell Jake I said goodbye” she nodded and waved. The place was 30 minutes away and it was 9:15 you played some music (mostly girl in red) and then it hit you , you forgot the brown milk you thought about getting it but for that to happen you would be late so instead you decided on STARBUCKS “hello what can I get for you?” “can I get 1 venti hot chocolate and 1 croissant that will be all thank you” “that will be 10.20” you gave her your card and ate on the way once you reached it was 9:56 you parked your car got out and your heart dropped it was her Jenna why was she there early she wasn’t there early in steak house why now? “Heyy y/n right on time again”
“Hey burton, what can I say I am good with managing time”
“Got your stuff?”
“Yep in my car”
“What are u waiting for? Sam will show you your trailer”
So u did as told you got your stuff followed Sam and put it in your trailer honestly it was way better then you thought I had a bathroom, a large TV, a bedroom and a closet larger than yours it was nice. It was cozy you later went out and talked to burton and he said that today was just a day for the writers and producers to talk and see how will this series happen and he asked me to ‘get to know’ the actors you asked burton who you best friend on the show and he pointed to a girl with short hair and brown eyes you went to talk to her and ‘get to know’ her “hey I am y/n the lead and I believe you’ll be my best friend?” she smiled and nodded she was warm it was nice “yes yes hi I am jasmine savoy” the rest of the convo was great it felt nice to have someone other than ky or Jake to talk to but then as you guys were about to go out for ‘coffee’ Jenna walked in and I am sure they both know each other’s “JENNNA” “JASMINNN” Jenna jumped into Jasmine’s arm if they didn’t know each other’s that would just be WEIRD “oh right this is y/n” jasmine spoke up “I know we met in the steak house” you smiled in responded “we were just going out for coffee wanna join?” you looked at her waiting for a responds but once again lost in her deep brown eyes “I would love to” the day was nice they both made fun of you for taking chocolate milk rather than coffee but other than that it was great but it wasn’t hard to miss that Jenna was REALLY focusing with you she’d ask you questions and stare at you when no one was talking I felt nice. She was nice no she was amazing .The day ended or as you thought Jenna then texted you at exactly mid night she asked you to meet her at the beach. The set was right next to the beach it was a 5 minute walk to be exact. You agreed and went with your spider man pjs the water looked nice and deep just like her eyes she held your forearm which made you blush ‘HARD’ then the walk had started you could feel the water under your red crocs which actually matched your pjs “so who are we killing” she giggled it’s like music to your ears, okay nope never ever thinking that again ew an-“you know I kinda have beef with burton, like come on steak house I am vegan and sadly all they got is meat” she interrupted your thoughts she looked hurt you can tell it was fake by the smirk on her face “nice pjs by the way” she then looked you up to down “thank you I like to be confortable in my outings” she giggled once again that made you heart float “but really I wanted to talk to you about something” you stopped the walk at turned to be facing her “did I do something wrong?” you were genuinely curious you ruined something , you really liked her and didn’t afford heart break right now “no, no not at all, I kinda thought I did” you furrow your eyebrows at her in disbelief “what? Why would you think that?” she raised her eyebrows and you truly didn’t know why. She then spoke up it felt like ages “you’ve latterly been avoiding me all day” oh okay now I get it “what no” yes, yes you have all day .she then squinted her eyes and spoke “you know for an actor you are a very bad liar” ok shit she caught you she then proceeds to continue “so are you gonna tell me why because if it about the steak house I say things that I DO NOT mean when I am drunk so whatever it is ,it is not true” there you go this is the part where you feel relived but I am not. Ok umm I should go bury myself now I mean wh- “y/n? You good?” you realize you zooned out AGAIN shit talk ok talk talk you son of a b- “bitch” shit I like Jenna Ortega and she doesn’t like me back big surprise not really “excuse me” she looked at you
“No that wasn’t meant for you I was thinking to loud but no I wasn’t thinking about you I mean I was b-“
“Y/n its fine chill really its cool”
“Sorry”
“So you were avoiding me because?”
“Something you said while drunk, I am glad you made it clear”
“So am I, wanna head back we’ll wake up early for set?”
“Sure”
Once you reach you trailer and right before you entered “oh goodnight Jenna sweet dreams” you kissed her forehead just because you were used to kissing Kayla’s before she went to sleep “one day I will steal these jammies from you ,goodnight to you too” and with that she left but not without a smile of course as you sat in your bed to ‘process’ what just happened you realized you like Jenna Ortega and she doesn’t like you back speaking of heart break this will truly hurt you more then it will to her but this time you will REALLY avoid her you are so serious when you say you CANT afford heart break
Its 11 am everyone is on set burton wants you there an hour early before your scene you take that opportunity to study you’re on the floor leaning on the wall 2 LARGE books lying next to you ,a notebook open on your bended knees that reach your chest while your head phones are on playing your playlist. You were a really organized person when it comes to studying all the topics in order and even all the colors in the rainbow having neat studies would always persuade you to do more it was always you key to studying 1 hour and 45 had passed and yet your scene wasn’t ready to film but that didn’t matter to you because for once In your live you actually found studying interesting and you would do anything to keep that
you then felt a faint tap on your shoulder you thought that burton was finally ready but no it was Jenna you were happy to see her but then remembered how you needed to avoid her to keep your feelings from getting hurt you took off your headphones without returning the smile she offered you ,hurts I KNOW “hey” she said with her so soft voice wait no I am supposed to hate her “hi” you tried to sound dry and tbh you did good you looked back to the book to keep the studies “what’s that?” she pointed towards the notes you’ve been taking “school, exams are up” it really hurt you being like this but really it worked to all your failed crushes and if it didn’t, it would hurt you more at the end ‘’cool wh-“ “Jenna I am kinda busy right know so can we talk later?” ouch fuck I hate myself so much right now “sure, sorry” your scene came up right after it took 2 hours to finish the scene and burton said there was a 3-hour break for me so as I was about to leave someone caught my arm but it wasn’t like yesterday at the beach so it had to be someone else so you turned round to see jasmine “oh hey ja-“ “shut that fuck up ,what did you do to her” you furrow your brows and flinch back slightly “wha-“ “stop acting dumb you know what I am talking about, Jenna she is so ,so…. Depressed” you squint your eyes in need of more information “after she left from your little talk she was really sad and zooned out” oh that little talk “jasmine I did nothing to hurt her I think” she raises her eye brows and clench her jaw “you think? What did you guys talk about I need you to tell me every single detail” and so you did “really y/n?” you shrugged and bit your lip “I expected you to be good I mean you are but what happened?”
“Okay fine I’ll tell you but promise me no one will know about this especially not Jenna”
“Promise mother fucker”
“So I have a huge crush on Jenna and yesterdayshesaidsomethingthatinferredthatshedoesn’tlikemeback sotokeepmyfeelingsfromgettinghurtIdecidedtoavoidhersoIcanstoplikinghersoonceshedoestellmeshe doesn’tlikemeorthatshelikessomeoneelseIdon’t jumpoffareallytallbuilding
“You know there is something called breathing and tbh I feel bad”
Shit.

I didn't do much work this weekend, because I couldn't be arsed. Instead I wrote some fic, and continued to be amazed how well Crowley and Aziraphale adapt to the role of grumpy, middle-aged lesbians. In this bit they return to the suite at the Savoy where they had a dirty weekend in The Lady Gardener, except now they are hopelessly, aggressively married.
____________________________
Aziraphale went through to the living area in search of the room service menu. It was one of those hot summer days where the river itself seemed to be sweating, casting a fine mist through the heat shimmer bouncing off the Embankment. The last time she’d been here had been spring. The daffodils had been out in St. James’s Park, and she and Crowley had rolled around in the guise of illicit lovers like a pair of happy pigs in poo. Well, sort of happy. There were things she could do now that she couldn’t do then, like knitting Crowley rubbish socks, or saying ‘I love you’, or casually asking at reception if her wife had arrived at the hotel yet.
Crowley, now minus the sleep mask, followed her through the suite. She was still wearing the socks, despite the heat. Below the preciptiously high hem of her tiny nightie her legs were long and brown, tanned from hanging around gardens in very small shorts. “How was your gardening class?” Aziraphale asked.
“Maxless,” said Crowley, tossing herself onto the sofa. “Alison has pulled her out.”
“Oh no. Why?”
Crowley shrugged, pulling her hem up almost to crotch height. By some miracle she was actually wearing underpants, but then again she had only just got here. “Apparently I’m recruiting her to the transgender agenda,” she said.
“And how are you doing that?”
“Not sure. I was just trying to encourage her interest in entomology. Are insects transgender?”
“Oh, probably,” said Aziraphale, perching at the table next to the window, and kicking off her shoes. “I know there are fish that change sex. And reptiles, I think.”
“Snakes, definitely. We get up to all sorts. Do you know there are some snakes that can reproduce asexually?”
Aziraphale looked up from the wine list in alarm. “Crowley, if this is your way of telling me you’re pregnant I’m going to be very upset.” She’d mentally pencilled in a lot of drinking for this weekend, and it was going to be no fun at all if Crowley couldn’t partake.
“Pregnant? At my age? No. I was just saying. Lot of things change gender. Birds do it, bees do it…”
“…yes, even educated fleas, I daresay,” said Aziraphale, mentally meandering into Cole Porter. It seemed an endless source of horror to the Alisons of this world that their child should ever want to change sex at some point, as though that was somehow the worse thing a child could ever want to do with their life, a thing so horrible they had to be ‘brainwashed’ into it. Aziraphale was not clear about how this brainwashing was supposed to take place. According to Louise it could take root if they were exposed to too many rainbow flags, or the wrong kind of rainbow flags. The rainbows were only meant to have a certain number of stripes, apparently. If they had too many stripes then – boom – your child broke out in a violent case of transgenderism and became…something? Rabid, perhaps. Or they turned into one of those monsters who left only one sheet of toilet paper on the roll, strategically wrapped around the cardboard spindle to look like there was more.
The feared consequences were never entirely clear, but they never were with these types of moral panics. Aziraphale had seen it all before, too many times, and while she wasn’t that deep into the lore of this new derangement she thought she knew the root of the anxiety behind it: the children were not listening to their parents. It always happened, and it had to happen, because it was normal and natural for them to do so. But letting them go? Letting them go off and do their own thing and make their own mistakes? Yes, that was terrifying, and that’s where the Alisons came in useful to the Louises, who knew how to poke at those natural parental anxieties like a demon goading the damned. Alisons, in their own way, were as dangerous as the Louises. It took a wolf to frighten the sheep, yes, but a stampede of sheep could still make one hell of a mess.
That village needed a sheepdog.
“Hmm?” said Crowley, getting to her feet. Something rustled, as though she’d been sitting on a shopping bag, and Aziraphale glanced back at the sofa, half hoping that Crowley had popped into Coco de Mer for old times sake. But no. “What are you on about?” said Crowley, meandering to the window. “We’re not getting a dog.”
“Who said anything about getting a dog?”
“You did. Just now. You just said ‘that village needs a sheepdog’ while fiddling with the backs of your earrings, and staring out at the river.” Crowley’s arms slithered around her from behind. “Are you all right? You’re not going to start turning London landmarks into vaginas, are you?”
“I’m fine,” said Aziraphale. “Just thinking aloud. You know me. I’m very old, and my mental processes are opaque at the best of times.” There it was again. The rustle. Like the scrunch of a plastic bag, but wet somehow. “What’s that noise?”
“Traffic. You know – that thing they have in London?”
“I know what traffic sounds like, Crowley. And it doesn’t squelch. Is that you?”
“Oh. That. Yeah. I’ve got Vaseline socks on.”
Aziraphale leaned her head back into Crowley’s chest and looked up. “I’m sorry – what?”
“It’s a thing,” said Crowley, taking a seat at the table. “Like, yes, I know Louise is a creature from Hell, but Olga told me she has this hardcore method of moisturising feet, and you know me and feet. I’ll take any help I can get. You cover your feet with petroleum jelly, put a sock on over the top, then let it just…sit. Marinate.”
“I see. Won’t you get Vaseline all over your socks?”
“No. That’s the clever part, see. You put a plastic sandwich bag over the Vaseline, and then you put on the sock…”
“…and rustle and squelch strangely all over a nice suite at the Savoy?”
“Yes.”
“You’re entirely bizarre,” said Aziraphale.
Crowley wriggled in her chair. “You love me,” she said, running a socked and sandwich-bagged foot up the back of Aziraphale’s calf.
“I do, but please attend to the foot situation before we go any further. I’m sorry, but I can’t get amorous when you’re roaming around with your feet done up a la Louise. Just the mere thought of that woman is enough to render me parched to the knees and beyond.” Aziraphale reached for the wine list again. “Shall I order us some champagne?”
“Surprised it took you this long, actually. I was beginning to think you were ill.”

“Lullabye for a butch” by Melinda Goodman, published in The Persistent Desire: A Femme-Butch Reader ed. Joan Nestle (1992)
Saturday night November 1980
I am 23 driving a '68 Delta east on 4
to the George Washington Bridge
jockeying with other drivers
coming off routes 80 and 47
for a clear veer to the lane my lover
works, the 3-to-11 post-Thanksgiving shift
She grabs my hand as I fly
money green flags
in her direction
laughing over the moan of diesel brakes
her wool-gloved fingers pry then tangle
in my naked palm
Ignoring the blaring horns outside the booth,
our mutual radios pump the club
version of Grace's "Warm Leatherette"
as she steps out on exhausted concrete
to place an orange cone
between my bumper and the
bumper behind mine
I like her uniform:
fresh polyester dark blue
and bright white collar
topped with overcoat,
scarf and ski cap for the blizzard on the way.
If it snows the Port Authority
puts her up at a motel otherwise
she stays at my place but has to be back
by dawn or be counted AWOL
So she's up before five
folding her flowered pajamas
into the bottom drawer
of my colonial chest
with handles like rings
through a bull's snout
“You got my nose”
moaned the only teenaged woman
who ever loved me
and my tollbooth honey
reminds me of her
as I chain the door behind her
hearing steps down five flights
to the street, the bridge,
and the gunmetal morning
I always loved
gentlemanly attentive butches
even those who won't fuck
for the first five dates
'cause they “want to get to know you”
till you beg
and by that time
you're married
They want to make sure
all those free concerts
fish dinners
and stories about home
won't get thrown back
in their teeth
After all...
butches are vulnerable
It's the femmes that are fierce
with their long legs
and tight jeans
making you watch them
Butches are the sweet ones
with their clean shined shoes
and socks
and underwear
smelling of baby powder
and Camay
I loved
the way she wrote her name
in purple script
all over the top sheet
of my coloring pad
when supper was done and the dishes stacked
I wish I could kiss her now
slide my tongue through her teeth
erase the years I fell
for women as distant as Queens
is from the Bronx
Just hold this butch in my arms
make her know
It's not the 2 condominiums
she bought with rare pennies
collected on her job
but her
her strong back
and big hips
and corny sparkling eyes
when she walks around
to open the door
on my side of the car
in front of the skinny eyes
of the fat boy dealers
strutting in and out
of their customized vans
and the heads rolling in
from Jersey
She doesn't even see
the tooth-sucking teens
as she walks back around
in her ten-gallon brim
to slide behind the wheel
Doesn't tell me where we're
going till we're parked and walking
out of the lot
up the block
arms linked
to see Patti Labelle
live at the Savoy
and I'm on my heels
all night screaming
through till the last song
running my fingers up the back of her neck
till the walls come down, tables break in half,
everybody's glass explodes
ice cubes hailing the city for miles
as Patti rains on
somewhere
over the rainbow
way up high
there's a
land that I dreamed of
once in a lulla-
bye.
