Your Fixer: Breaking Point

Summary: A string of bad luck has you considering going back to your ex-husband.

Warnings: Manipulation, Mild violence. Please let me know if I missed any!

Part of the Yours AU

Fired. Again. You don't know what happened. Everything was going so well! You even had a wonderful performance review! But then one mistake, one upset high profile client, and it's all gone.

Maybe August was right. You'll never be anything without him.

You'd been so certain when you handed him the divorce papers. Certain he was holding you back, keeping you beneath him in every sense. And you had done well for the first several years after!

Then, after one party your luck seemed to turn south. The morning after your boss had complained about your behavior. You had no idea what he was talking about. Neither did your co-workers. But it didn't matter, you were fired.

Your coworkers were willing to be a reference and you were quick to find another job. Soon after, though, you were blindsided yet again. It felt like the universe was out to get you.

The library computers provided a good place to start looking into new jobs. You weren't sure you could find anything cheaper than the closet you call an apartment but at least you can find ways to cut spending while you applied to fast food jobs all day. Plus, if you stay put, you're less likely to have the urge to buy anything, right?

On the far end of the computer terminals, Jack O'Malley is discreetly keeping an eye on you. He'd been hired by your ex-husband to drive you back to him. "Preferably crawling, but I'll take what I get," Walker had sneered. He'd seen you at a work party and hated that you were doing so well without him.

Of course Jack took the job. So long as he prioritized Nick's work, he was allowed to take side jobs. Though only if they didn't break Nick's rules. This job was close to breaking a few of them but it straddled the line just enough Jack felt okay about it.

Well at least he used to feel okay about it. He'd heard those stories about abusers wanting to break strong people to make themselves feel better. He thought it was pop psych stuff. The abusers he'd seen went after weak people who wouldn't fight back. He had forgotten to account for kind people.

Jack looked into your history, and Walker's, in between bouts of getting you fired. You were a good person who'd had a bright future until Walker stepped in. The more Jack looked into Walker, the more he hated himself for taking the guy's money.

And now you're here at the library. He's remotely connected to your terminal, seeing everything you're doing. Even after all you've been through, even with tears in your eyes, you're still looking for ways to survive on your own. Jack can't help but be in awe of your strength.

He knows he should probably tell you what's been going on. Give you the evidence to take to the police or something. But the police aren't always reliable in these matters and Jack's never been good at the direct route.

The idea comes to him in a flash. He quickly writes up an email to Nick, attaching some of the worst evidence against August, leaving out some of his own influence on your current situation. He asks permission to help you out, keep you from going back to your loser ex.

After he sends the email he doesn't wait for permission. He posts an impromptu job opening that he'll make sure you find. Might get a few other unwanted applicants but that'll just make the interview feel more legitimate. He doesn't actually need an assistant, but that'll just make your job that much easier. And who doesn't love easy money?

He gets a reply from Nick:

Send Rogers to punch the mustache off him. If he wanted his wife to stay he should've treated her better.

Relieved Jack gets back to work making sure you find and apply for the fake job.

Jack returns to his apartment feeling good. You'd applied for the job and he was going to make sure to call you tomorrow about it. Maybe look up a few tasks you could do for him to make things feel legitimate.

He stops in his tracks when he sees Nick in his living room. With a knife.

"That request you sent me earlier, Jack? I know that wasn't the whole truth."

Jack's mouth is dry, his blood turned to ice.

"You shouldn't have taken this job. We're supposed to be making our people feel safe. Word gets out we forced a woman to go crawling back to her asshole ex, people lose faith in us. Maybe stop being so willing to pay us. Then it becomes a whole mess."

Jack nods, not trusting himself to speak.

"But, you're making amends in your own way," Nick cheerfully says, putting away his knife. "You're going to take very good care of this girl, right? Gonna fix all her problems?"

Jack nods, "yes, Sir."

"Good." Nick goes to walk by him but, faster than Jack can react, Nick kicks his leg, dropping him to his knees. He pulls Jack's hair, exposing his neck, and brings the knife back out, pressing it just enough to draw blood.

"You do something stupid like this again and I'll make sure you get made an example of," he growls. "Understood?"

"Yes, Sir," Jack whimpers.

Nick removes the knife and pushes Jack's torso onto the ground before walking out of the apartment.

Jack takes in a deep breath. Yeah, lesson learned.

DOVE'S KINKMAS DAY 1- THIGH RIDING WITH JACK O'MALLEY (Red One) x READER

CW: Chris Evans… he’s a warning himself, thigh riding, nicknames (i.e. Doll, good girl), unedited, this one is really shit ngl and I apologize lol, my lack of knowledge about coding and computers in general, female anatomy, you’re wearing lace panties because friction, Jack is strong, I’m doing this to the best of my memory so please give me some grace <3

Word Count: 818

Kinkmas Masterlist

There are times when lives get hectic, and now was one of those times. Jack was trying his best, between cleaning up his act online, trying to rebuild the relationship with his son, Dylan, and doing his best to continue to be a good partner. While you know he is doing his best, there are only so many quickies and sporadic sexts throughout the day that can hold any normal man together, which lead you here- standing in the doorway of his office. 

“Jack, are you almost done? It’s getting late.” You walk over, wrapping your arms around the man’s broad shoulders, planting a soft kiss on his cheek. Without turning around, Jack responded- still typing away on his keyboard.

“I will be done in a moment, doll. I need to finish this job, but as soon as I do I am all yours.” That was a lie and you know it. He had been working on this job for 2 weeks now, and you have barely seen him. You needed to get his attention and needed to get it fast. 

You put on your best puppy dog eyes, resting your chin on Jack’s shoulder as if you were watching the multiple laptop monitors. 

“C’mon… I’m sure the world can wait for at least 20 minutes-” Jack felt bad, he really did- you looked so pretty pressed up against him, and lord knows he was pent up- running on coffee, chicken nuggets, and whiskey. He had to finish this though, then next week was his son’s band concert, then he had to meet with Callum… and before he knew it you were sat on his thigh. 

“Doll, you know I can't…” his voice faltered for a moment, watching as the oversized sweater hanging off your shoulders (that you definitely didn’t steal from his closet) rode up your thighs, pooling around your hips, “what are you doing?” Jack cocked an eyebrow as you braced yourself, putting your hands on his shoulders. 

“If you don’t have time to take care of my needs, it looks like I’m going to have to do it myself.” You sounded so matter of fact that it made Jack’s wires cross, but he had to focus. With one hand on your waist now, he gives a soft squeeze. He didn’t look over towards you, his other calloused hand still typing away, only stopping for a moment when you reached up to tangle your fingers in the base of his hair, giving a gentle tug.

You started to rock against his thigh, sighing softly as you felt the ache between your legs start to subside. The mix of your lace panties and Jack’s dark jeans rubbed against you in such a delicious way- nothing could compare to Jack’s fingers or cock buried deep in your cunt, but this was a close second. 

Jack’s hand tightened against your waist as you continued to grind against his thigh. You looked so pretty like this- face starting to flush, eyes fluttering close. He casually started to bounce his leg, making you gasp as his leg collided with your clit in a way that made your head swim. 

The entire time you are trying to get Jack’s attention- tugging on the collar of his shirt, whimpering in his ear, and leaving soft kisses on his neck. 

It wasn’t until he looked down to see the damp spot where his jeans and your needy pussy collided that he finally snapped. With a mutter of “fuck it” under his breath, he finally turned to you. 

“Really now, Doll? Trying to get my attention while I’m working- are you really that needy?” He took your hips, moving you across his thigh as if you weighed nothing. He’s looking into your eyes, watching as you try to keep them open- lost in the feeling of him. 

You just nodded, hands clinging at his flannel shirt as he leaned close to your ear, alternating between sucking dark marks on your neck and talking you towards a quickly approaching orgasm. 

“You’re doing so good for me Doll… that’s it, let me hear you.” You loved hearing his voice, especially when he was talking like this to you. Soft moans continue to leave your lips, so with a final bounce of Jack’s leg and a firm rock against him, white hot pleasure rocks your body as you fall over the edge. 

“That’s it… good girl… so good for me… look at how you fall apart…” Jack manages to catch you as your body starts to go limp against him. His hands find your hair, gently running his fingers through your hair, as you come down. 

“Will you pay attention to me now?” You ask quietly, looking up at him, your hands going up to caress his cheek.

“Well I can’t let my best girl feel neglected can I? Got a lot of time to catch up on.”

littleferal’s 2021 roundup (2) 🌙

hi everyone!!! i guess it's time to start rounding off 2021 and where did it go?!? my present to you all is to share my favourite works this year. you can find my previous fic rec roundup from the first half of 2021 here. and also my pegging collection here. for specific tastes :“)

as always, each character has their own section broken down into thoughts, rabbles & headcanons (smallest pieces), one shots and multi-chapters. multi-chapters are always linked to the first chapter or their masterlist if they have one. summaries follow all one shots and multi-chapters. they have all been pulled from the fic themself or i have added a brief one if one wasn't available.

you may find some pieces on here that were on from before; if it's a multichapter still updating you know i'm going to keep throwing it at you!! plus, a reread deserves a reblog, so maybe not everything is from this year.

please go and show everyone a bit of love and don’t forget to reblog what you love for your content creators!!! <3

finally, as always, please read all warnings on pieces first. i have used a simple key to give you an idea to what you’re heading into but you are responsible for the media you consume

Moving into a cookie cutter, family orientated neighbourhood with your run-of-the-mill, unsuspecting husband was the perfect cover you needed. Who would ever be suspicious of the perfect little housewife? The one who always kisses her husband goodbye every morning, who has dinner ready on the table at the same time every night, who attends the local book club and volunteers at the local nursing home?

Well, your neighbour for starters, who—as it turns out—you may have more in common with than you originally thought. Too bad the neighbourhood was too small for the both of you and your… skill sets.

hotel hobbies by @loversandantiheroes 🔞

Hotels are built for mistakes; a heady cocktail of anonymity, overpriced drinks, and the luxury of running away before check-in the next morning. Jack “Whiskey” Daniels – a costume cowboy and all-around obnoxious blowhard with a penchant for bourbon, ropes, and sharp-tongued women – might as well be a mistake on legs. Unfortunately for you, he’s also hotter than a goddamn wildfire. And, unfortunately for the both of you, some mistakes are far more addictive than others.

Fired. Again. You don't know what happened. Everything was going so well! You even had a wonderful performance review! But then one mistake, one upset high profile client, and it's all gone.

Jack nods, not trusting himself to speak.

"But, you're making amends in your own way," Nick cheerfully says, putting away his knife. "You're going to take very good care of this girl, right? Gonna fix all her problems?"

Jack nods, "yes, Sir."

"Good." Nick goes to walk by him but, faster than Jack can react, Nick kicks his leg, dropping him to his knees. He pulls Jack's hair, exposing his neck, and brings the knife back out, pressing it just enough to draw blood.

"You do something stupid like this again and I'll make sure you get made an example of," he growls. "Understood?"

"Yes, Sir," Jack whimpers.

Nick removes the knife and pushes Jack's torso onto the ground before walking out of the apartment.

Jack takes in a deep breath. Yeah, lesson learned.

Your coworkers were willing to be a reference and you were quick to find another job. Soon after, though, you were blindsided yet again. It felt like the universe was out to get you.

The library computers provided a good place to start looking into new jobs. You weren't sure you could find anything cheaper than the closet you call an apartment but at least you can find ways to cut spending while you applied to fast food jobs all day. Plus, if you stay put, you're less likely to have the urge to buy anything, right?

On the far end of the computer terminals, Jack O'Malley is discreetly keeping an eye on you. He'd been hired by your ex-husband to drive you back to him. "Preferably crawling, but I'll take what I get," Walker had sneered. He'd seen you at a work party and hated that you were doing so well without him.

Of course Jack took the job. So long as he prioritized Nick's work, he was allowed to take side jobs. Though only if they didn't break Nick's rules. This job was close to breaking a few of them but it straddled the line just enough Jack felt okay about it.

Well at least he used to feel okay about it. He'd heard those stories about abusers wanting to break strong people to make themselves feel better. He thought it was pop psych stuff. The abusers he'd seen went after weak people who wouldn't fight back. He had forgotten to account for kind people.

Jack looked into your history, and Walker's, in between bouts of getting you fired. You were a good person who'd had a bright future until Walker stepped in. The more Jack looked into Walker, the more he hated himself for taking the guy's money.

And now you're here at the library. He's remotely connected to your terminal, seeing everything you're doing. Even after all you've been through, even with tears in your eyes, you're still looking for ways to survive on your own. Jack can't help but be in awe of your strength.

He knows he should probably tell you what's been going on. Give you the evidence to take to the police or something. But the police aren't always reliable in these matters and Jack's never been good at the direct route.

The idea comes to him in a flash. He quickly writes up an email to Nick, attaching some of the worst evidence against August, leaving out some of his own influence on your current situation. He asks permission to help you out, keep you from going back to your loser ex.

After he sends the email he doesn't wait for permission. He posts an impromptu job opening that he'll make sure you find. Might get a few other unwanted applicants but that'll just make the interview feel more legitimate. He doesn't actually need an assistant, but that'll just make your job that much easier. And who doesn't love easy money?

He gets a reply from Nick:

Send Rogers to punch the mustache off him. If he wanted his wife to stay he should've treated her better.

Relieved Jack gets back to work making sure you find and apply for the fake job.

Jack returns to his apartment feeling good. You'd applied for the job and he was going to make sure to call you tomorrow about it. Maybe look up a few tasks you could do for him to make things feel legitimate.

He stops in his tracks when he sees Nick in his living room. With a knife.

"That request you sent me earlier, Jack? I know that wasn't the whole truth."

Jack's mouth is dry, his blood turned to ice.

"You shouldn't have taken this job. We're supposed to be making our people feel safe. Word gets out we forced a woman to go crawling back to her asshole ex, people lose faith in us. Maybe stop being so willing to pay us. Then it becomes a whole mess."

Jack nods, not trusting himself to speak.

"But, you're making amends in your own way," Nick cheerfully says, putting away his knife. "You're going to take very good care of this girl, right? Gonna fix all her problems?"

Jack nods, "yes, Sir."

"Good." Nick goes to walk by him but, faster than Jack can react, Nick kicks his leg, dropping him to his knees. He pulls Jack's hair, exposing his neck, and brings the knife back out, pressing it just enough to draw blood.

"You do something stupid like this again and I'll make sure you get made an example of," he growls. "Understood?"

"Yes, Sir," Jack whimpers.

Nick removes the knife and pushes Jack's torso onto the ground before walking out of the apartment.

Jack takes in a deep breath. Yeah, lesson learned.
