First Lines Friday!

First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines? Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page. Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to…

The Therapist

There's a new therapist at school.

Normally this wouldn't really bother Peter at all, since he's never gone to see a shrink in his life and doesn't ever plan on it, but there's something... off about this woman.

She seems unassuming enough at first glance. Red hair, green eyes, bright red lipstick. But there is something in her eyes, something that Peter can only describe as a predator looking at its next prey, when she looks around the school at all of the teenagers milling about. Heck, even the way she walks makes her seem as if she is a predator stalking her prey.

It could always be some kind of power move, Peter reasons. He's met people like that before, who try to intimidate everyone around them into thinking that they are superior, that they are the apex predator and anyone who dares to cross them would pay for it dearly.

But his Spidey Sense went crazy around her.

He tries to brush it off as paranoia. He'd pulled an all-nighter last night in the lab with Tony because neither of them had been able to sleep, and he hadn't been sleeping well even before that. (Funny, how it had all started the night after he first bumped into the new therapist in the halls.) So his Spidey Sense is probably out of wack because he's tired. Simple as that.

But it seems like everyone in the school is depressed. Even Ned, who can't even muster up the energy and enthusiasm to talk about Legos or Star Wars or even the weather. It worries Peter.

Because it all started when that therapist came to the school.

He can't ignore it forever, he knows that. There is only so long his Spidey Sense can tell him that she is danger danger danger before he finally listens. He has to do something to help everyone.

So he researches.

And he falls into the rabbit hole of ghosts and ectoplasm and secret government organizations and the little, unassuming town of Amity Park, Illinois.

He doesn't sleep that night.

When he comes to school the next morning, Dr. Penelope Spectra looks him dead in the eyes, and smiles.

A thought just occurred to me.

When he's already made you come 3 times on his tongue and you're too limp to bat an eyelash, Francisco flips you over, spits on your tight ring, before sinking his thumb in, and uses the grip to slide you deeper and faster onto his big fat cock (©️@frannyzooey).

Because, you know. It’s just physics. And he's an engineer.

Anyway, Happy ❤️‍🔥Frankie❤️‍🔥 Friday, Orange Besties 🧡

you just post about haydove now, are u gonna flip the fandoms?

I don’t just post about haydove now. I suppose you’re talking about my hayffie fic Taste of Strawberries since it’s very obvious my 10+ years Tumblr blog contain both hayffie, everlark, haydove and a whole lot of Hunger Games related stuff like the prep team, Plutarch and Caesar Flickerman.

But as far as Taste of Strawberries is concerned: if you’ve read the whole fic you’ll notice that I’ve always written lots of Haymitch’s (and Effie’s) backstories through flashbacks, to enrich the present timeline and keep the characters IC.

When major shifts in hayffie’s relationship happens or when their view on things changes, I have to back it up and flesh it out properly to make it believable or else it’ll create a whiplashy 180 degree turn out of nowhere and those are just the WORST! My ultimate pet peeve.

I’m a die hard hayffie fan, always have always will be, but I have a great deal of respect for haydove as well. Haymitch loved her hard and she shaped the man that he became.

His relationship with Lenore Dove and his guilt over her death and the death of his family, deeply affects his relationship with Effie and their kids. Colors his whole life really.

It’s what birthed his alcoholism which is now slowly destroying everything he has in the present timeline. That’s why I have to include the haydove flashback in ToS. The story would feel rushed and unbalanced without it.

on friday, i went to a baseball game with finn and fall, and i drank a beer, and we ate hot dogs, and we watched the fireworks after the game like it was two thousand and twelve or something. it was a really nice night

we ran into one of their oldest friends at the game, someone they have known so long, i don't know if they can even remember meeting. i accidentally talked to her boyfriend as though he spoke my own language and it i guess it scrambled his brain for a bit, but i think he'll be alright

my dad usually takes me to a baseball game around my birthday, but a few days before the date of this year's game, i mentioned that i was looking forward to it, and he seemed confused. then he said, 'oh, that fell through,' and that was the end of that

this week has been full of unexpected, dark developments in the lives of people on the edges of my life. my usual experience of the world lives somewhere on the scale of tired sadness to hopeful joy, but this whole last week was stained by the lurking potential for tragedy

last night i dreamed about swimming through the crystal clear waters of a drowned city and massive waves would lift me up twenty stories in a moment and then drag me down into the depths. i dreamt about eating a package of ramen that tasted like a fried chicken sandwich with dill pickle chips, and i dreamt about finding a nest full of baby squirrels waiting to be fed

happy two years anniversary to Drugs and surgical scrubs! 🎉🎂

a lil birthday snippet:

“All I ask for in return is that you get clean, James. I will help you in any way you need, but I need you sober. That is my one condition.”

James closed his eyes, letting the breeze cool his eyelids. Everything seemed so simple with Regulus, as if all James had to do was say yes and life will be perfect again.

“Everything will remain the same as long as I stay clean,” James mused and words tasted like a magic spell on his tongue, finally powerful enough to win over the all mighty heroin.

“Yes. Nothing has to change.”

James smiled at himself without opening his eyes. There was a tiny detail Regulus omitted.

Nothing has to change as long as James will.
