Happy CoAi Solstice 2023! It’s not technically the 22nd here yet, but it is on the other side of the world so I’m posting my contribution now. I’m excited to see what our fellow shippers have in store for us, I’m sure they’re amazing! It’s been a lovely year for our ship! I hope the rest of it goes smoothly for y’all and that the new year treats you kindly <3
Midwinter
Summary: The nights are longer in the winter, yet sleep still eludes them. It’s what happens when only their bodies shrink, their minds are still plagued with too many burdens and fears. Here’s to hoping the winter solstice will bring a good night’s rest.
Could be alternately titled: Face It, Kudo Shinichi. Set in the same verse as How Many Minutes To Midnight, but it precedes the events that occur there. Can be read on its own.

Collaboration
A/N: This one's told from Harry's pov. I just wanted to have some fun with dialogue, trying fluff for once (I think?)
-------------------------------------
The flashing lights on the red carpet bring back the headache that was pounding my temples since this morning. I grit my teeth and pose for the last show before making eye contact with my manager. I’m ushered along, a few people calling out for an interview. My manager whispers one would be good for image so I sigh and find myself in one of those millenial gossip journalists.
She asks what I’m wearing, I show off the shimmery fabric of my pantsuit and the fringe on the legs.
“So we heard rumours, Y/N Y/L/N and you are working on an album together?”
I lean in and pretend to look intrigued but my heart picks up speed just from hearing her name. “Who said that?”
The journalist plays her part and laughs at my joke. I say seriously, “I would love to collab with her anytime, she’s a legend. But I haven't even got her digits."
She says something sympathetic, "maybe things will change tonight."
"I hope so! I'm even wearing my liucky ring," I show it off to the camera. Finally the bit is over and I walk into the cool building. People are already breaking into groups and lost guests look for their name.
I knew I would see Y/N today, it was always a mystery whether she would show up to these award shows. She started young in the industry, a child-actor turned singer when she released a single to a movie she starred in as a teen and it stayed in the top charts for months. She was pretty private as far as celebrities went and she didn't always show up to these things. But the couple times I interacted with her we had hit it off. The first was just a casual acquaintance when our mutual friend introduced each other at a premiere.
The second, though, was at a restaurant. The people I was having dinner with invited her party to our table. She had ended up squished beside me but we talked the whole night. We thought alike and turned out she was a big fan of my music, had even attended my concert, proven by some photos she showed me on her phone. I confessed I had a big crush on her in her earlier movies when I was a kid. She teased me and I let her. But we forgot to exchange numbers so I didn't actually talk to her after that. If we had, I would definitely ask her about collaborating.
"Just had to ask Jen, here." My manager comes by with a bottle of water and the painkiller in my hand. I take it gratefully and then he pushes me to my seat. I glance around, a couple familiar names. But mostly it seemed like I was seated with couples. To be the 7th wheel. And my chair had its back to the stage. Whoever planned this did not like me.
The lead up to the start of the awards is a rush of hugs and catching up with people. It isn't until I sit down, my chair turned to face the stage, that I realise Y/N is here and sitting a table down, her chair angled to the stage but she catches my eye.
I can't help the smile that overtakes my face but I manage to resist waving at her like a child. She gives me a nod but her lips tug up into a shy smile as she focuses her eyes on the stage.
We get introductions, a skit, and a performance. They announce some winners and then they announce the surprise performance by Y/N. I hadn't even realised she'd left.
It's so quiet you could hear a pin drop, the stage blacking out until a single light shines. Y/N steps under it and begins, it starts off slow but by the chorus there are dancers and an old school car and a gown with fake blood as she sits atop the car with the dagger sticking out of her chest as she belts out her song. The final notes ring out when she pulls the dagger free and it clatters to the floor. And the entire audience goes crazy. I'm standing clapping and grinning like an idiot. Y/N makes eye contact with me and winks. People turn in my direction but I don't make it obvious it was me. I didn't want any rumours about us.
As the night moves forward, I catch eyes with Y/N a few times. The first time I raise my eyebrows and mimick pulling a dagger out of my chest. She hides her smile behind the pamphlet. The second time she catches me staring at her, she pretends to look annoyed and I pretend to hide my face with my hand. When I check her face she's trying to hide her laugh. Someone behind her leans in to whisper something but she keeps her eyes on me.
I feel like I'm on cloud 9. Not only did I finally see Y/N after so long but she remembered me. And I think she was flirting with me! Maybe she would show up to the after party.
During the break, she motions to the meet her in the foyer and I don't even wait a few minutes. I'm right behind her and follow her into a little enclosure off to the side.
"Hi," I say casually.
"Hi," she smiles. "Long time no see. I like what you're wearing."
"Thanks. You look lovely yourself. I wasn't sure I would see you tonight."
"It's been a while since I've been plucked and prodded and red-carpet ready. A girl misses the feeling of flashing lights and ten reporters asking what you're wearing." She flips her hair over her shoulder, sarcasm in full effect.
"Sounds like you need a drink," I suggest.
"God, yes." She grabs my arm and I lead her to the bar, she leans in next to me as I order for us.
I watch as she takes a sip of the drink I ordered for her. She looks surprised and takes another sip. It settles in even more how normal this felt. And my childhood crush never really went away.
"You should order for me more often. I usually just stick to what I know." She comments.
"Then you should go out with me more often," I say.
She responds by clinking her glass against mine, a mischevious look in her eye.
"What's that look?" I ask.
"What look?"
"The one you're giving me right now!"
"I'm just looking at you!"
"Then what are you thinking? Because you're not just looking at me! You're giving me the look!"
"The look," she scoffs like I was making it up.
"It's there," I tap her temples. "What are you thinking in there?"
"I really don't think you want to know what I'm thinking," she says into her drink.
"No, now I really want to know," I wait for her to move the glass away from her mouth.
"No you don't. It's...not very appropriate." She doesn't look me in the eyes, pretending to be interested on what the little menus read.
"Inappropriate thoughts are my favourite," I say. She looks up and is about to say something.
"Harry!" Someone calls from the side and I'm disappointed that the conversation is cut short. I wanted to know even though I already knew but I greet some friends instead. when I turn backY/N's gone. Damn.
I find her back in her seat but she's talking to a few women I remember she was in movies with in her early days. But it's like she senses me because she turns to look as I sit down. I narrow my eyes at her, she looks away.
When I win for single of the year, I stumble onto stage. I was sure I wouldn't win this. Luckily my manager had made me practice something on the way here just in case but every word leaves my brain when I glance at Y/N and she has the same expression from earlier. I knew she was thinking something inappropriate and that just clears my head of anything except her.
"Sorry I've got some stage fright it seems," I joke and everyone laughs. Phew.
I manage to get some words out, give my thanks and walk back to my table in a daze. People congratulate me but I barely know who. This was a dream come true for me, and nearby a very dreamy woman was giving me eyes and I didn't know how this night could get any more surreal.
But it does.
***
By the time I get ready to leave for the afterparty, I'd waited for inscribing and more congrats, some pictures and group pictures of winners. I'm tired and stop by my hotel to change into something more casual. I didn't see Y/N and I give up hope that I would. Her going to an awards show and an afterparty were rare. She must have disappeared again, without leaving her number. I would just have to wait for a next time.
But when I get to my hotel door, a figure sits outside it.
"Hello?" I call from afar, if this was a fan that somehow got in there was going to be a security issue. But the person looks up and it's just Y/N. Her glam from earlier is wiped off, she has on just tights and a tanktop. She quickly stands up.
"I didn't see you at the party. Wasn't much in the mood to mingle. I thought I would try your room."
"How did you know my room?" I ask as I open the door and leave it open for her.
"I'm a floor above, I saw you leave."
"So you're stalking me now?" I ask.
"If I remember correctly you were the one watching me all night."
"Really?" I drop my things on the floor and dig through the drawer for a shirt and jeans. "If I remember, you were the one with inappropriate thoughts."
"I never said that," she says as she picks up the award I put on the table. "Congratulations by the way. You totally deserve this like I told you!"
Y/N references part of the conversation we had at that dinner. When she revealed she was a fan, said she was in the industry for years and she saw I had promise.
"And that compliment kept me going through the whole album." It was true, she gave me a boost of confidence that helped keep me focused and crank it out in time.
"So where's my shoutout?" She sits on the desk, her feet swinging back and forth.
"Third song on the album," I say smoothly.
"Really?" She stares. The song was about a mystery woman just being the girl next door. Exactly how I felt about Y/N. "You wrote a song about me? Wow. Not even my exes have given me the honour."
"You deserve a million songs written about you," I say truthfully. Y/N was a special woman-misunderstood and misinterpreted. But she was a powerful singer and a funny, honest, and kind human.
"You're a sweet-talker Harry Styles." Y/N leans back and I can't avoid the way the fabric of her tanktop stretches over her body. She notices and smirks. "It's unfortunate you're just all talk though."
"All talk?" I decide two can play at the game. I take off my silk shirt and wait a few before slipping on my tshirt. I notice her eyes trailing down my body and it gives me the confirmation to step towards her. I put my hands on her thighs, and she parts her legs automatically. I step in between them but stay inches away from her face, "I do more than just talk."
"So show me," she says, her gaze going down to my lips.
"Only if you tell me what you were thinking tonight," I challenge.
"You're still on that?"
"I want to know."
"How about I show you instead."
In a surprising move, she pushes me back and stands up before shoving me onto the bed. It takes me a moment to recover but I'm smiling as the whole Y/N finally comes out of her shell. She peels the tanktop off of her and walks towards me. I lean back on my elbows.
"I wish you showed me earlier," I say. She shuts me up with a passionate kiss.
***
I'd lost track of time, the rising sun the only tell of how much time had passed. Y/N lies on the pillow beside me, her face peaceful as she sleeps. Her hand is loosely intertwined through mine between us. It was a wild night collaborating after all-just not in a way we wanted share. I almost want to pinch myself to be sure this was real. The woman of my dreams with me tonight. Several times over. Asleep as the first rays of sun leave a soft glow on her skin. She was as beautiful as ever.
I must have fallen asleep too because I wake up with a pressure on my chest. I'm flat on my back and Y/N's head is resting on my chest as she stares at my face.
"I can see up your nose," she comments.
"Stop looking," I mumble in my croaky morning voice.
"I can't stop. It's just so dark and unexplored."
I close my eyes again, not realising she'd taken my finger to stick up my nose until she does. I sit up and she's thrown off of me. I sneeze once, and again. And turn to her.
"I don't like that loo-" she shouts as I pull her to me and hold her down to climb over her. I sneeze again as she wriggles underneath but pretty soon she stops as I kiss her.
"You're lucky I'm so nice," I say into her neck as I kiss her. "Or you would be in a lot more trouble."
"You are not nice," she giggles. "You didn't let me explore up your nos-okay okay!"
She cuts off as I tickle her sides, crying out to stop, saying she can't breathe. "I'll show you not nice," I tell her. I hold her hands above her head and pin it there before I kiss her down her body. She tries to free my grip but I hold on, using my other hand to move lower than my mouth could.
"You wouldn't," she looks me in the eye as I kiss her again.
"Well I'm not very nice," I whisper and watch her squirm underneath me. I finally let go of her hands and she pulls me to her to grip, rolling me over when I'm done so she's on top.
"I'll let you in on a secret, Styles." She tells me while I laugh at how flushed she'd gotten but I quiet when she pulls my arms up like I did to her and somehow finds the robe tie from the floor to tie them in place. "I'm not very nice either."
"Well who said I like nice girls?" I ask her. She only smiles before pulling the blanket over our heads and making sure she tortures me in the best possible way.

Leading Lady, Chapter 2: Mystery Mate (A Henry Cavill Cast Fic)
Chapter 2: Mystery Mate
CAVILL as SHANE POV
Tumblr media
In between jobs...or on holiday?
It'd been a few weeks and now I just wanted to work. This would be a good time for one of those covers, just a little exposure. Kendra Knight had helped me cross the pond, so to speak, and I was trying to make a full arrival.
I looked at my covers over the years that bared her name and my likeness. Kendra was the only one I did covers for because she sent me a copy of the manuscript first. Laura said that she saw my picture in her office from her trip abroad and that was it. She said if it wasn't a part I'd want to play one day, she'd understand if I turned it down. But the stories were good, the sex scenes were hot. I had everything she'd written, even the ones I didn't model for. She often asked me about male perspective in emails, something many female authors didn't tackle. I'd never seen so much care or interest, and I admired that. She gave me a renewed respect for and interest in writing.
Kendra finally let me text her, giving me a phone number I could get to her through. But every time I called, she'd let it go to voice mail and she texted back. It was like she didn't want me to hear her voice. So, I offered my name: Shane Zachary Sheridan. I used my middle name as my first in media, but those I really knew me called me by my first.
Truthfully, that was the thing about Kendra Knight. It was fair to say that no one really knew what she looked like. Laura was her front person, and she was so charming and enigmatic it was enough to distract most, but her hard core fans had begun to demand that Kendra show herself. There was even rumor she was a man, but then she called that satellite radio station and stated, "No, I'm female, just not media friendly." And hung up. I actually had that little snippet sent to me, hoping to match her voice to someone someday. The more mysterious she was, the more buzz around her...and her quiet got attention for me since I'd been on a few of her covers. I was a consistent link, a sign of her, somehow, even though I'd never laid eyes on her.
Laid eyes on her...
Had I laid eyes on her and not known it? Her interest seemed more than just a photograph. She texted back every time I contacted her, and she always sent some acknowledgement of my birthday and Christmas. Sometimes we texted every day and fall off for awhile only to pick up again. Then there were the thank you cards and presents that I got when one of my covers was released. I still have the cards. Did she write them herself? I went to my desk and started going through my files.
Suddenly, my cell jolted me from memory lane. I glanced the caller ID and clicked on.
"Hey, Rick."
"Big news, mate, big news," Rick said as if he was going to burst. "Bad, good and then...just damned good!"
I couldn't help but chuckle at my agent. I sat in my chair, put up my feet, and sighed, "Let's have it, bad first, of course."
Tumblr media
"You didn't get the part you read for last week," he said.
I rolled my eyes. "And?"
"Kendra Knight!"
"You've got my interest, Rick." Kendra Knight was always presenting me with opportunities, bless her.
"Right, right," Rick said. "Kendra Knight is in negotiations with AV-1!"
"AV-1? That's brilliant!" I repeated, sitting up. This was news. This was one of the fastest growing movie apps in the past few years. "What negotiations?"
"For her books, Shane!" Rick said. "Word is there are negotiations for you to get leads!"
"Negotiating for me?!"
"Yes!" Rick sounded like he'd burst. "She is pushing hard for you because of your...relationship?"
"Relationship?" I repeated. "Are you having a laugh?"
"Seems Kendra Knight herself is pushing for this," Rick said. "What did you do? What did you say? Blimey, you said you never met, Shane!"
"As far as I know, I haven't!" I told him, thinking hard. "as far as I know. Believe me, if I met her, I'd--"
"What?"
"Have you read her stuff?" I asked. "She tells it like a fly on the wall, or like--like putting you behind a pair of eyes--great stuff for an actor--"
"And you've never met her?" Rick accused again. "Sounds like you know her."
"I do..." I pulled the file and threw it on my desk. I opened the folder and looked at the cards. "And I don't." I closed my eyes, trying to think here. Did I have all our texts? "Dig up all you can on Kendra Knight, Rick," I told him. All that research I did playing a spy was about to come of use. Everyone was trying to figure out who Kendra Knight was. I knew that, I just needed to get her in my sights so I could catch her. "Time to cross the pond again."
"Are you sure this is what you want to do?"
"I just think it's time, is all."
"You are doing well here in Britain, Shane--"
"But I want to do better," I told him. "Time to spread wings a little."
"I know you, Shane," Rick said warningly. "You've got a plan."
"My plans are always good ones, Rick, trust me." I clicked off before he said another word and sent a text to Kendra.
SSWW: Kendra, there's a lot of buzz going on around here. How about we clear the air and meet? Call me anytime. Cheers
Details were going to be key. I knew this woman. We texted so I knew a few things, I had handwriting samples on cards. She also told me in texts to call her Kit, and not Kendra. But once, once she said that she and Lara were inseparable in college. They were Kikilala...Kiki...now why did that suddenly ring a bell?
Thanks, PLEASE let me know if you want to be tagged and if you like this, please like, comment and reblog!

EP’s FanFiction Master Post
So this is something I should have done a long time ago on my previous account, but better late than never. For those of you who find me, this is going to be a place where you can find all the fics I’ve written over the years. This will be added to over time as I fight to revive my muse.
It’ll be categorized by fandom, so you can quickly find what you do or don’t want to read. Here we go.
Pokemon

Madam Zara -  When Misty decides to get experimental with her appearance, she finds herself in the hands of a world-famous beautician named Madam Zara.

Our Own Sunset -  Ash and Misty watch the sunset together, but Misty's bothered by it. - Set in the AAML: Diamond and Pearl version universe.

Keep Your Degtyaryov By Your Side! 1/2
Pairing: Alexsandr “Tachanka” Senaviev & Skylar “Phoenix” Jackson (Platonic, I know..shocking) 
Other Characters: Timur “Glaz” Glazkov, Seamus “Sledge” Cowden 
Words: 2,404
Warnings: None
Summary: Skylar and Glaz concoct an April fools joke that might just send the one and only Tachanka into a panic. But things go a little south. 
A/N: This was going to be one long-ish one-shot but then I decided to split it into 2 parts. The first in Skylar’s POV and the other in Tachanka’s up until a certain part. 
Ao3
April first, the one day where it was acceptable to prank people, and so far the base has been fairly quiet. Then again it was still morning and there was plenty of time throughout the day for more people to get pranked. Skylar already expected Thermite, Smoke and Bandit to have something up their sleeves, and felt sorry for those poor unfortunate souls who will get the other end of it. She just hopes she isn’t one of them.
As she made her way to meet Glaz in his room, she couldn’t help but have a little skip in her step. For someone who doesn’t really like pranking people, her and Glaz came up with a fun filled prank, for the one and only Tachanka. Though they were treading on dangerous territory, no one was allowed to touch his beloved Degtyaryov and they were about to take it straight out of his room and have her place it on the roof.
She knocked on Glaz’s door and impatiently waited for him to open it, not like it took him all of three seconds to do so. He moved aside letting her in and shut the door behind her. “What’s the plan again?”
She let out a small laugh and shook her head, it wasn’t like they went over this plan last night via text message. “We go and grab Alex to have breakfast with us hopefully, I pretend to get a text from someone and leave for a bit. You keep Alex occupied while I move his Degtyaryov to the roof.”
He nodded his head. “Okay, what if I can’t keep him occupied? You know how stubborn he can be.”
“Then keep him occupied long enough for me to grab the gun and make it to the roof, so like five minutes.”
“Okay.” A small mischievous smile started to spread across his face. “You ready?”
“Oh yeah.”
They both headed for his room, knowing he would be done with training right about now. Skylar trying to make herself not smile as she makes her way to his room with Glaz, knowing full well that Tachanka would know something was up because of how giddy she was. And she couldn’t have that.
By the time they came to his door, she took a deep breath to calm her excitement, face going neutral as she watched the door open.
Tachanka looked between both of them and leaned against the doorway. “Isn’t this a nice surprise? Two people who didn’t show up for training standing right in front of my door.”
Confusion etched on both Glaz and Skylar’s face and they glanced between one another.
“We did train, it’s Wednesday, remember?” said Skylar. She watched as he contemplated her words and realized she was right. Her and Glaz always trained on Mondays and Wednesdays. “Wow, already forgetting what day it is.”
“Shush!” She chuckled in reply, making him cross his arms. “So what is it?”
“Skylar and I were wondering if you wanted to get breakfast?”
He uncrossed his arms and sighed through his nose, glancing between them once again. “Sure, I haven’t eaten yet anyways.”
“Great! We’ll wait out here until you’re ready.”
Tachanka looked her over, seeing the cheeky smile spread across her face. He knew what day it was and was a little skeptical about this whole ordeal. Glaz wasn’t one to prank people, that wasn’t his thing. Neither was Skylar’s as far as he knows. She never pranked anyone on base that he knows of, but that cheeky smile did make him curious.
“Give me a few minutes I still need to get dressed.”
They both nodded their heads as he shut his door, Skylar letting out a breath and looked over at Glaz. “I think he’s onto us.”
Her voice was just above a whisper, soft enough for only him to know what she said. “Don’t worry about it, he won’t suspect a thing.”
“I think I’m gonna go to breakfast with you guys and act like I got a message there instead of when we’re walking to the mess-hall. Be a bit more believable.”
“I agree.”
Tachanka came out of his room seconds later in more casual clothing than his training fatigues. He turned around after shutting his door to lock it, which sent Glaz into a small panic. She glanced over at him mouthing the words ‘don’t worry I got this’ and he nodded in reply.
“So how was training?” asked Skylar “Did the FBI win like we always do?”
She momentarily forgot that the FBI and Spetsnaz were joint training today, minus her and Glaz, unfortunately due to their sniper training. And ninety-five percent of the time the FBI wins.
He let out a scoff and rolled his eyes. “Da, they did.”
“You Russians need to learn how to work better as a team.” She held her hands up in defense after seeing the offended looks on their faces. “I’m not saying this as a bad thing, I like you guys..well four out of five of you. I’ve watched you guys in simulations, you all have talent, you just don’t know how to materialize that talent as a team.”
Tachanka looked over at Glaz who was rubbing his neck awkwardly, trying to avoid eye contact with his fellow comrade. “You agree with her don’t you Timur?”
“Details is what I do, we plan as a team greatly. As soon as the simulations start, those plans seem to go out the window. Maxim roams a bit too much, Shuhrat doesn’t hold contact with the team. It’s not a coincidence the FBI can kill three out of five of us in a matter of seconds.”
He was quiet for a moment, a little too quiet, then his body relaxed and he exhaled a breath. “The more I think about it, the more you’re right.”
“Try what the FBI does, figure out your guys strengths and weaknesses and figure out how to work them as a team. It’ll take time, but maybe after a while half of your team won’t be wiped in the matter of seconds.”
Tachanka nodded his head, a small smile spreading across his face. “I’ll look into it….thanks kotyonok!”
“Just trying to help my fave Russians.” she laughed. “Now let’s go get something to eat. I'm starving.”
The mess-hall was pretty packed with the majority of the other operators already in there. Unfortunately Thermite was one of them, now she needed to glance around the room to figure out which ones of her friends weren’t in there. Luckily she didn’t see Castle, Ela or Jackal, now just to figure out which one to use to get away.
They all grabbed their breakfast and took a seat at the nearest available table. Skylar didn’t grab much since she knew she needed to leave in a bit. However she was craving a nice cup of tea that she couldn’t have yet.
“I’ve been wondering something about you Skylar.” said Tachanka after a moment. “You don’t seem like the military type..”
“So why did I join?”
“Da.”
“I graduated high school when I was sixteen, took a gap year afterwards to really search for the right college for me. During that gap year a hurricane struck Maine and completely destroyed the families brewery which was our main source of income. I didn’t want my parents to spend money that should go into the brewery on my tuition, so I opted to join the Marines to pay for it.”
“You never told me that.”
She looked over at Glaz and chuckled. “Truthfully it never crossed my mind.” She pretended to have her phone buzzing in her pocket, and picked it up to see who it was. “Looks like Castle needs me for something.”
“Maybe he’s going to prank you?”
“Perhaps.” She stood up, grabbing the little bit of food she grabbed. “I’ll see you guys later.”  
Skylar left the mess-hall after that and headed for her room to get her lock picks. She was secretly hoping he wouldn’t have locked his door when they went to breakfast, now she’s hoping no one walks down the hall while she picks his lock to get into his room.
She opened the door to her room and placed the food and water bottle onto her bed and went into her side table, grabbing her lock picks and put them into her pocket, and headed for Tachanka’s room.
As she came to his room, she slowed her pace down a bit, looking around her to see if she could see anyone around, thankfully no one was. She knelt down and took the lock picks out of her pocket and began to go to work. About a moment later she heard the door unlock, sighing in relief and slowly opened the door and went in.
She quietly shut the door behind her and pocketed her lock picks again. His room was fairly organized, and wasn't really shocked since he’s been in the military for a few decades, that stuff kinda sticks with you. As she walked over to his Degtyaryov, she glanced at his desk, seeing paperwork for his last mission, a few books on old soviet weaponry and a paper with her name on it.
That drew her attention more to it and she picked it up, now seeing it was a letter. Or a half written one to be exact. Her hazel eyes scanning the words and her heart skipped a beat. “What Timur said was true, he does like me.”
She shook her head when she realized she said that out loud and placed the letter back where she found it. Now was not the time to worry about their crushes, but to get his Degtyaryov to the roof. That can come later.
Up close his mounted Degtyaryov was pretty big, and most likely heavy. She went to grab it by the base of the mount and pick it up, groaning as she did. “Jesus this thing weighs a lot. No wonder a guy like him carries it.”
That’s when the light bulb in her head went off. She needed someone strong enough to carry it, the first person that came to her mind was Sledge. She reached for her phone and dialed his number, hoping he wasn’t busy or in the middle of training.
“Hello?”
“Hi Seamus I need your help.”
“Okay, what do ya need lass?”
She let out a small chuckle and placed her arm on the gun. “Uh Glaz and I are pranking Tachanka by moving his Degtyaryov to the roof and it’s too heavy for me to move on my own. Can you help?”
There was complete silence at his end and that made her a bit worried. “Lads gonna go mental over this. But hell yeah I’ll be over in a minute.”
“Thanks Seamus!”
“No problem!”
They both hung up the phone, Skylar putting it back into her pocket - she took a seat on his bed. Though the mattress was identical to hers, she liked the feel of his duvet under her fingers. It made her slightly think of what could possibly happen in the near future, that is if she can survive his onslaught.
Sledge finally walked through the door and she stood up. “Seriously Seamus thank you for doing this. I’m not sure a lot of people would do this considering who this gun belongs to.”
“Skylar you’re the only one brave enough to do this, everyone else would be afraid of his wrath.” He walked over and swung the gun over his shoulders with ease. “And truthfully? I can’t wait to see his reaction.”
“I know I’m walking on some mighty thin ice here, but he doesn’t scare me. However I am looking forward to his reaction when he finds out it was me.”
They began to make their way to the roof, thankfully Tachanka’s room was close to the door. She kept an eye and ear opened to make sure no one was coming near them.
“He’s never gonna see it coming, will most likely blame James or Dominic.”
Skylar laughed and agreed with him. Smoke and Bandit were known pranksters around base, so it would be the first place his brain would go when he finds out his Degtyaryov is gone. That Smoke or Bandit decided to misplace his beloved LMG.
“Poor Smoke and Bandit.”
Sledge laughed as they came to the door leading up to the roof. She opened it for him, letting him go in first and followed behind. With his free hand he opened the other door leading to the roof and stood to the side.
“Where do ya want it?”
She looked around, wanting a place where she knows he’ll be able to see it. “How about right there? It’s near the front door of the barracks, easy to see.”
Sledge placed it down and chuckled. “Please keep me updated on this.”
“I will.” She took one last glance over at the Degtyaryov before turning back to him. “Now I just need to re-lock his door and meet him and Timur back in the mess-hall..and act like nothing happened.”
“Good, this might be the only entertainment I get for the day.” He laughed.
“Probably the only entertainment a lot of us are gonna get.”
“Too right, lass.”
They left the roof after that and went their separate ways. Skylar went back to Tachanka’s room to quickly lock his door and then headed back to the mess-hall. When she got there, they were both still there and that made her sigh in relief.
“Miss me?”
“Terribly.” joked Tachanka
She glared over at him and huffed. “I know you did, don’t lie to me Alexsandr.”
“Someone’s feisty?” He took a sip of his coffee and looked over at her. “What did Miles want?”
“Well maybe you should stop making me feisty. It was nothing, he just misplaced something of his.”
“Ah.” He didn’t fully believe her, but wasn’t going to pry just yet. “I have a gun to clean and polish, so I will see you two later.”
Both Glaz and Skylar watched him get up and leave, and laughed among each other. He was about to get one rude awakening when he opens his door. Hopefully the base is ready for the wrath of Tachanka.
“Everything set?” asked Glaz
“Yup, now we wait and watch it unfold.”
