No.

It wouldn't make him happy. Changing careers, at least not like this, would not bring Jack any sense of satisfaction or happiness.

Alice hadn't thought so.

She watches as his thumb and forefinger shift to the bridge of his nose, eyes shuttering closed as if to keep the rest of the world out— he stays like that for a moment, another one, another one longer.

Alice is silent. Her pen stills, and there's just the distant roar of the ocean. The thud of her heartbeat in her ears.

Jack's hand falls away, and something in her stomach twists at his next words.

'But I’m probably getting expelled soon. Or I’m going to walk away. Those are pretty much the only two options.'

What?

The crease between Alice's eyebrows deepen, because— what?

'I think I'd rather walk away with some of my dignity in tact.'

'I just don't want more shit to come out. Not that there's more to come out, but. I don't know. I'm just tired of all of it, to be honest.'

It makes sense, logically, but Alice is having a hard time reconciling his words. He was— really young, especially for a politician. Early thirties. So many political careers didn't kick off until well into middle age, and here Jack was, smart and polished and voted into the senate.

His first and only scandal, and Jack Kennedy was done?

Maybe it's the exhaustion in his voice, that makes Alice's chest ... feel funny.

"Not that you asked the civilian, but..." Alice knocks her heel against the stone paver with an idle kick. "I would think there's a third option. Especially for you, people like you."

It's funny— how entirely unlike an interview this was. But it seems right, in the moment, for Alice to talk to him like this. She didn't want a slick veneer of professionalism— she didn't feel like prodding Jack with a question designed to dig up something else. She just feels bad, for him, and truly believes that resignation and annihilation are not the only options.

But what did Alice know?

It wasn't her life projected unto a global stage. It wasn't her divorce, and her stepchild, and her legal troubles.

It wasn't wrong of Jack to want to step away.

He drags the ridge of his knuckles down his chest.

'But I don't have to decide any of that right this second, so.'

She nods. No. There was plenty of time for Jack to decide, and he certainly didn't need the input of a random journalist.

Alice stands, at his question, brings one hand to her forehead like an impromptu visor.

"There's definitely plenty of time to decide."

And then Alice can't help herself— she barely realizes how her free hand swings gently, bats against his shoulder for a brief half-second.

Fuck. Oops. Oops, oops, oops. Impulsive Alice, again. Her face heats, and she rushes to skirt past the action.

"And I could, uh, definitely eat, thank you."

Alice swallows.

"They only feed you Reese's Pieces, on flights out of New Mexico."

Alice's lips twitch, crooking her finger into a poor approximation into the iconic shape of E.T.'s.

Dumb joke! A C minus grade, at best!

"Well— you're like one of the youngest junior senators ever, so. I would say everyone's efforts payed off."

Yes. His parents were very proud. Jack wasn’t exactly sure what they thought of him now. His mother was horrified when she found out about the arrest and the divorce. His father wouldn’t say anything to Jack. His mother wouldn’t let him. But Harrison just had that quiet, disappointed look in his eyes that Jack will probably remember for the rest of his life.

Their hard work paid off, and Jack had fucked it all up. And, even worse, he’d turned into a scandal. It wasn’t even a quiet fuck up. It was out in the open, for everyone to see. He wondered what the affluent families in the area thought, and how his parents navigated those difficult and embarrassing conversations.

"Wow. Would— would you be happy, switching now?"

No, Jack thought. Absolutely fucking not. A disgraced senator, forced to resign (or expelled), teaching high school kids. Jack couldn’t think of anything more humiliating.

“Probably not,” he revealed, sighing. He closed his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose. He stayed like that for longer than he’d meant to. But it was a lot of processing --- thinking about losing Madeleine, and then losing everything else, too. It was a lot. It made Jack want to shut down.

In fact, there were some pills in an upstairs drawer that would melt all of his anxiety away in a few short minutes, if he could just find an excuse to step away.

And Jack didn't have a problem. Jack wasn’t addicted. People took anxiety medication all the fucking time. Jack just didn’t want this shit in his medical records, so he self medicated. And he treated the side effects accordingly.

"But I’m probably getting expelled soon. Or I’m going to walk away. Those are pretty much the only two options. And I think I'd rather walk away with some of my dignity in tact."

Maybe he should stop there. Maybe he shouldn't say anything else.

"I just don't want more shit to come out. Not that there's more to come out, but. I don't know. I'm just tired of all of it, to be honest."

There was definitely more, and every day of Jack's life was waiting for the other fucking shoe to drop.

"But I don't have to decide any of that right this second, so." Jack sat up, rubbing his knuckles along his chest. A tic developed to try to settle his racing heart, and also a sign that he needed to re-up on his meds for the day.

"Are you sure you don't want anything to drink? Or some lunch, or something?"

An excuse to get inside. The heat wasn't helping, either.

En la vida de Seungwon han sucedido muy pocas que han detenido su mundo que ni siquiera recuerda cuál es la primera, pero sí que una de ellas fue el instante donde su corazón indicó por fin los sentimientos ocultos hacia el más alto y que habían crecido con el tiempo. Él, que detestaba a la gente, terminó ayudando a los mismos, llenando así la pequeña necesidad de interacción social que su mente requería, siendo directo a la hora de los diagnósticos por muy crueles que sean. Él, que no pedía nada más en la vida que completar investigaciones y hacerse de renombre en la ciencia, terminó por pedir algo más especial y abstracto. Por mucho que le gustaba molestar a Yohan, jamás le exigió responder a sus palabras con la misma intensidad, comprende que es algo difícil y le daría todo el tiempo que necesite, como también aceptaría si nunca lo dice. Así que cuando el otro repite la misma frase, el corazón de Seungwon se detiene por unos segundos al igual que su respiración, soltando un suspiro. “Te estabas tardando en decirlo, tonto.” Bromea otra vez, en sus labios se traza la sonrisa más grande y radiante de todas, soltando una suave risita por el dulce contacto. “Me gusta más cuando tú eres quien los muerde.” Un comentario coqueto en otras circunstancias, pero que escapa de sus labios al estar nervioso por una declaración de amor tan profunda y dulce. Yohan era aquello que deseaba más que nada en el mundo. Seungwon inicia un beso más largo y apasionado, apegándose tanto como le es posible. “Te amo, no tienes que cambiar nada de ti, eres… perfecto.”

No  puede  evitar  pellizcarle  un  poco  la  piel  más  cercana  cuando  decide  ser  intolerable,  aunque  la  pequeña  sonrisa  que  se  dibuja  en  su  cara  indica  que  como  siempre,  le  encanta  la  idea  de  Seungwon  siendo  un  reflejo  curioso  de  su  personalidad.  -  —Me  caes  muy  mal  —  -expresa,  dejando  que  le  toque  y  le  tome  como  quiera,  seguramente  buscando  anclarlo  al  ahora  y  a  lo  que  dirá,  fascinándose  en  como  su  rostro  se  enciende  en  rojo  y  todas  las  supuestas  mariposas,  explotan  en  su  estomago  por  la  forma  tan  sincera  que  tiene  de  decir  lo  que  siente.  Yohan  lo  observa  siempre,  en  silencio,  cuando  sabe  que  Seungwon  no  presta  atención.  Aquel  departamento  estaba  muerto,  aquella  cama  estaba  vacía,  su  vida  entera  sumida  en  una  monotonía  que  le  hacía  feliz  en  su  silencio,  pero  al  parecer  era  feliz  compartiendo  ese  silencio  con  el  otro.  -  —Te  amo  —  -las  palabras  brotan  como  el  agua  del  manantial,  siendo  la  primera  vez  que  se  lo  decía.  Te  quiero’s  abundaron  entre  ellos,  entre  esas  cuatro  paredes  cuando  hacían  el  amor  o  al  despedirse  en  el  hospital  con  un  beso  antes  de  irse  a  sus  respectivas  áreas.  Lo  siente,  en  como  brinca  el  corazón  y  en  como  sus  manos  se  aprietan  ahora  alrededor  de  una  cintura  y  roza  sus  narices,  cerrando  los  ojos.  -  —Y  no  lo  he  dicho  las  veces  que  es  necesario,  no  lo  suficiente.  Te  amo,  en  la  forma  en  que  te  mueves,  en  como  respiras  cuando  duermes  o  como  te  muerdes  los  labios  mientras  piensas.

Dohyeon recibió no una ni dos, sino que varias veces el mensaje de acercarse con cuidado al alfa, sobretodo por parte de Yohan quien parecía no confiar en él. Puede entenderlo, huyó de un matrimonio arreglado y que en cualquier momento podían atacar la manada por su culpa, por su prometido estaba obsesionado con el joven lobo de cabello negro al punto de querer marcarlo a la fuerza. Está agradecido con ser acogido por todos, los cachorros siendo los más curiosos por alguien nuevo y que no dudan en invitarle a jugar a las escondidas. Sin embargo era imposible quitar la mirada de Suyeong cuando este se encuentra cerca como ahora, sus pies moviéndose inconscientemente hasta estar a una distancia prudente de este, respetando el espacio personal. "Yo... ¿Puedo ayudar en algo?" hay personas encargadas de cazar por lo que no lo es requerido en el equipo y hasta ahora, el único trabajo que ha hecho es enseñarles melodías nuevas a los pequeños.

hi anon <333 okay so uhhhh listen when i got this ask which i think was... a month ago? a couple months ago? i did not have a dick & tim reading guide

BUT i read this ask and i thought WOW WHAT A GOOD IDEA, a dick & tim reading guide, i wish i'd had one of those when i started reading!! and also i had a lot of work that i didn't want to do so i needed a project to procrastinate on dsfdsfs

so i have been working on a reading guide spreadsheet and it is ALMOST DONE so i will post it soon-ish. <3 if anyone wants to check out the unfinished version and tell me if it's readable dm me <3

also below i have rambled a lot about the makings of the spreadsheet if you also like spreadsheets a lot

this is only sort of tangentially related to the reading guide but it is the SECRET ORIGIN of the reading guide. i think many comic fans eventually end up with a spreadsheet story because comics are bonkers and difficult to keep track of, so either you sensibly engage with your hobby in a reasonable fashion or you slowly go bonkers yourself and end up with a spreadsheet story. this one is mine.

so a year or two ago, when i got first got deeply deeply obsessed with dick & tim, i was desperate for content and i wasn't able to find much on tumblr

so out of a combination of deep affection for the boys and also an extremely strong desire to procrastinate the things i was supposed to be doing, i went through dc.fandom's list of dick's appearances and of tim's appearances.

and i cross-referenced them all to find the comics they both appeared in, and then i started kinda randomly reading through those comics looking for good art/panels that they both appeared in and taking notes on whether they appeared in the same panel or not:

and then as i became even more obsessive i started adding in a bunch of their solo appearances so i'd know the context of their team-ups, and i started color-coding blue-for-nightwing, red-for-robin, purple-for-both-of-them:

and then i started trying to make lists of Significant Events so that i'd know e.g. when characters died or got married or broke up:

and then i got tired of having to search for dc.fandom pages every time i wanted to check something in a comic, so i started adding links to dc.fandom and to dc universe:

and then i thought, you know, it'd be nice to have comic titles and to know if it's part of an ongoing story:

and sometimes when i was reading, i started taking notes on quotes or whatever was going on:

and that's about when i got this ask, and i thought, you know, i really should make a reading guide.

and i started thinking, okay, is there any way to take my spreadsheet and make it slightly less convoluted and a bit more like a reading guide?

and the answer was, probably not!!! but that did not stop me from trying sdfdsfds

so right now i have a spreadsheet called "Dick & Tim Reading List" and it's got a section that looks like this which has about 200 recommended-read comics:

but ALSO there's a tab that's really really long that has all of dick's solo comics and also all of tim's solo comics (from 1987-2011, not of all time, but still):

and also you can just get a list of all (post-crisis) comics dick&tim have appeared in together:

and also as i was working on this i discovered FILTER VIEWS and simultaneously got curious about all the quotes in grayson 12, which taunted me with the possibility of getting post-crisis continuity back before not giving it to me >:(((((( but anyway they're still good quotes so i made a list of all of them

anyway then i looked at all of that and thought ehhhhh okay but that's very complicated!! maybe i need some shorter reading recommendations. so then i started making a list of those:

basically you should picture the spreadsheet journey like this puppy:

anyway i'm still kinda distracted but i do intend to clean it up a bit more and then post a link, so that will happen soon-ish hopefully <3
