Mark hovered outside your apartment, the familiar sense of comfort tugging at him as he flew the last few feet to your balcony. After a long day of fighting battles and putting out fires—both literal and metaphorical—he was looking forward to some semblance of peace. And there was no place that felt more like peace than with you.

He landed softly, his boots making a quiet thud on the floor of the balcony. As he stepped inside, the warm scent of something delicious hit him. It smelled like home, and for once, he felt like he could truly relax.

You were in the kitchen, humming happily to yourself as you stirred something in a pot on the stove. When you turned around and saw him, your face lit up like the sun had just broken through the clouds.

"Mark!" you cheered, setting the spoon down and rushing over to him. "You're here!"

He smiled, his exhaustion melting away just a little bit at the sight of you. "Hey. I made it."

You laughed, a joyful sound that made his heart skip a beat. "I’m so glad! I’m making dinner—well, trying to, anyway. You’re just in time to see how badly I struggle with cooking."

Mark leaned against the doorway, watching you with a grin. “I’m sure you’re doing fine.”

You gave him a playful look, grabbing a jar of garlic from the counter. "I’m not doing fine. This jar is impossible. I’ve tried everything, but I can’t get it open."

With a dramatic sigh, you held it out toward him, your brows raised in mock defeat. "I know I could probably do it if I had the right muscles, but… unfortunately, I don’t. So, hero, think you can help?"

Mark’s grin widened, amused by how you called on him for help so effortlessly. Even though he was absolutely drained from the day's chaos, there was something about your bubbly energy that made him feel lighter. He stepped forward, reaching for the jar, and with an almost embarrassing lack of effort twisted the lid off.

You gasped, eyes wide with exaggerated awe. "Oh my gosh! You’re my hero!"

Mark chuckled, holding the jar out to you like he was showing off a trophy. “Guess I’ve still got it.”

You looked at him with such admiration that it made his chest tight. “You’re so strong,” you said, practically glowing with excitement. “Like, seriously! You just make it look so easy!”

He couldn’t help but tease. With a sly grin, Mark stood up straighter, flexing his arm and giving you a playful eyebrow raise. “What? You think I’ve been skipping arm day?”

You looked at his flexed muscles, then back at him, your face lighting up with a mixture of admiration and sheer delight. “I think you’ve been skipping nothing,” you gushed, eyes sparkling. “I mean, look at you! You’re literally, like… a superhero.”

Mark’s grin widened, loving the way you fawned over him so freely. It was hard not to get a little caught up in the energy you were giving him. It was so pure, so genuine. In that moment, everything else—the fights, the battles, the stress—seemed to fade into the background. All that mattered was you.

He shifted slightly, still holding the jar in one hand. "Guess it’s not so bad being a hero when you get to come home to this," he said, his voice softening just a bit.

You beamed, leaning up to kiss him softly on the lips, lingering for a moment. “I’m just lucky you’re here.”

Mark’s heart skipped a beat, and for a second, the weight of the world didn’t seem so heavy. He put the jar down on the counter and wrapped his arms around you, pulling you in for another, deeper kiss. When he pulled away all he could see was you, still looking up at him like he could do no wrong. The warmth of your smile, the way you were so genuinely excited to see him—it overwhelmed all of his sense and all he could think of was you.

“Alright, let’s see what’s cooking,” he said, shifting the conversation, but still holding onto that feeling of lightness that you brought him. He peered into the pot and saw a mix of vegetables and meat, filling the room with a mouthwatering aroma. "Smells amazing. What’s in the pot?"

You grinned. "It’s a surprise. But I’ll tell you this: it’s going to be the best thing you’ve ever tasted. Promise."

Mark laughed, leaning down to kiss your forehead before turning back to the counter. He rolled his shoulders, feeling the last of his exhaustion drift away as he started to help you prepare the rest of the meal.

Despite the brutal day, despite the fights and the villains, here in your kitchen, he felt like he was exactly where he needed to be. Your energy was infectious, your admiration for him so genuine that it made him feel invincible again, if only for a moment.

As he pulled a pot from the cabinet and set it on the stove, you wandered over to him again, still buzzing with excitement.

"You know," you said with a grin as you snaked your arms around his waist, resting your head on his back. "I think you’re more of a hero in real life than you even know."

Mark gave a small, playful shrug as he stirred the meal. “Well, I don’t know about that... but I’ve got to say, I’m glad I’m your hero."

You giggled. “That’s all that matters.”

Flash fire one shot ⚾️♥️🔥

(Scout POV: My last letter to Spy)

(CW: angst / alcoholism / neglectful parenting implied)

“Don’t act superior dad. Stay in your place, you fuckin coward.

We’re all flawed humans. Please, just come back down to earth with me. Being human sucks but I never expected you to make me feel like an alien freak. You used to love aliens and stuff. I remember.

This is the last time I give you the benefit of the doubt.

That stupid God you all care about so much, gave me this broken and abused alien guy. He brought this guy into my life and it feels like a blessing. Not a burden.

Someone that needs help sometimes. I’ll gladly give it. I’ll step up and help. I’ll do what you couldn’t do. I’ll give it all to him. All of my purest love.

He is a nobody to you, but every nobody is a somebody to somebody else.

I figured you would empathize with him but no.

You geezers can’t even fathom speakin’ your actual truth. Let alone puttin’ your feet into someone else’s shoes for a change. Not everyone has shoes. Y’all are used to steppin’ on anyone to get ahead. Even me and we’re supposed to be on the same team. Same blood or whatever. Seems like all these geezers do is hide behind closed doors. Talkin’ shit but no balls to say it. Hide behind that fake ass mask you crafted all by yourself.

You think that precious paper solves all your problems but it don’t. I see you chug down your wine and pills. You dress and act like you got it together but you don’t. You’re miserable. You don’t gotta say it. Seeing me freedom and happiness makes you uncomfortable and I know why.

Even though this alien guy treats me exactly how I want to be treated. This guy has made more meals for me than you ever have. You couldn’t even do that for me.

A man who can’t clean or cook isn’t a man. That’s a child. You’re still a foolish, kid too dad. In your own ways.

We do things different than you and that’s okay. It’s okay for me anyway. You don’t truly know all the good things he does for me, regardless of the countless times you witness his helpful and caring actions.

For an old, seasoned geezer, you slip up a lot and make a lotta rookie mistakes. At least keep up the act Spy. You’re not as clever as you think. You’re still a pathetic, functional alcoholic like everyone else on that stupid team.

But nah even that mask slips up sometimes and you tell me the truth without even realizing it yourself.

You all infantilize him. You don’t gotta fully say it, because I see it.

You all do it to me too. When it’s convenient to do so anyways. We’re adults when it’s convenient but we’re stupid, naive children when we don’t do what you want us to do with our lives.

If my happiness isn’t enough, I understand. There’s more interesting things out there to collect and do. I get it.

When I offer someone help, I actually mean it. Y’all don’t. You can play pretend and offer help outta pity but I know it’s not genuine. You all are keepin’ score. I don’t do that to the people I love.

I never asked to be brought here. But you chose that for me, so now you suffer more for it. Great. Suffer some more. Suffer the consequences of your actions. “Dad.”

A part of me still hopes one day you’ll come back down to earth. I doubt it though.

I can never stop fully loving you. I’m sorry for being a leech but you chose to bring me here. Your job was to take care of me and provide but you couldn’t even do that right. Ma did all that work raising me. I understand why she needs rest from me. But you? No matter how many chances I gave, you let me down each time. Love isn’t just slapping a wad of cash in my hand. You can’t buy me dad. You can buy ma but not me. Not us. Not me and Py. Your paper means nothin’. I ain’t about that. It won’t make it better but keep thinkin’ it does. I hope your custom, empty smoking room was all worth it. You work for the machine now. If my presence causes you grief then I need to go. For good. For your own sake.

It was nice kinda knowing you.

You never really showed interest in really gettin’ to know me, so fuck off then. For good.

And I still love you after everything you’ve said and done. That time you slipped up and told me how you really feel. I realized right then and there that it was time to leave.

Goodbye dad.

💭 🎸🌩️ for Omicron and Delta, because I am genuinely curious 🙈

Poniiiii!! 💜🩵🩷🧡 Thank you so much for these asks!! I had a great time answering them ☺️ I apologize, it got pretty long lol. I got inspired! Answers below the cut ✨

💭 What inspired you to make them? Any specific influences you were drawing from? — Omicron, Delta

Omicron — This is lame, but honestly he was born from horn ♨️ LOL. The idea “spy has to charm a sneeze fetishist” sprung into my mind and I was compelled by a character that would treat it professionally while being forced to overcome complications. Conflict is interesting to me and I wanted to write from a POV limited to the person sneezing (for 🔥 purposes), so I leaned into someone who would have an inner monologue at odds with his situation. I’ve written grumpy OCs in the past and I always enjoy it 😊 Ultimately I wanted to create someone I would enjoy writing, and Omicron certainly did that for me. What started as a one-off spiraled into something much bigger than I anticipated! 🥹

Delta — He walked onto the page without much prior thought on my part 😅 My motivation was to introduce a foil to Omicron, as well as a humorous obstacle for him as he navigated through the events of Best Laid Plans. In that story, Delta became an infallible and wise figure to wrangle Omicron’s chaos. Seen through Omicron’s eyes, I’m sure that’s how he appears and what he projects. I saw him as a tool for Omicron’s drama and he was a little one-dimensional in my mind. But I’m learning more and more about him — his depth, his flaws, his insecurities — as I explore writing a Delta-centric story! For inspiration, I’m asking a lot of “why?” or “how?” questions to understand what makes him who he is, if that makes sense 🔎

🎸 What kind of music would they enjoy? (Alt: Is there a genre of music that you associate with them?) — Omicron, Delta

Oh this one is really fun!! I had to think hard about it, and it also gave me the opportunity to sample music I don’t normally listen to! For anybody who likes to find music inspo for their OCs and hasn’t used this before, this website really helped me. 

Omicron — I think he’s pretty ambivalent to most music and will listen to whatever’s on, with a slight preference to rock and metal. Pop is probably the only genre he’ll skip. When he’s doing something physical, like exercise or sparring practice, he likes power metal specifically! Heavy on the drums, shredding guitars, dramatic and operatic chanting vocals (Equilibrium, Kamelot, Powerwolf). It really gets him fired up. Unrelated to Omicron, I may now also be a power metal fan LMAO.

Delta — Oh sweet Delta. He’s an old soul ❤️ If given the choice, he’ll choose folk / acoustic music every time. Crooning vocals, light guitar or banjo, slow tempo (Gordon Lightfoot, John Denver, Linda Ronstadt). He admires artists not just for their music, but also for who they were and are as people, so he’s a bit choosy about who he listens to depending on what he knows about them. For some reason, I feel like John Denver specifically makes him wistful and he’ll often cry when he listens to those songs.

🌩️ What is a trait they dislike about themselves? — Omicron, Delta

Omicron — He’s bad at comforting people lol. Particularly sensitive people who express their emotions openly. If somebody’s crying in front of him, he’s completely out of his depth. I think in these moments he gets frustrated with himself because he wants to help but sometimes just ends up making it worse. Or if he manages to do a passable job, his perfectionism still makes him feel as though he’s fallen short.

Delta — He tends to over-extend himself for others. In grade school, he’d let people cheat off his homework. In university, he’d get harangued into doing all the chores in the dorm. He has trouble saying “no” when people ask him for a favor, which results in some unpleasant or exhausting situations for him. Sometimes he gets a little resentful, and that’s what he dislikes the most: feeling bitter while helping someone. So I think he’s trying to get better at turning people down, but it’s a work in progress. He’s secretly envious of the people who can bluntly refuse an ask without remorse (like Omicron and Rho) lol.

trans arsonist tips please and thank you 🔥🔥🔥

SOMEBODY GAVE ME FIREEEE /ref

TRANS - ARSONIST ...

Learn the classes / types of fire and their risks ! Here's an easy guide !

Learn how to start bonfires !! There are many ways and there is many tutorials online !

Make small CONTROLED fires outside in barrels , simple bonfires or ' cardboard ' fires !

Learn how to put out these fires ! Very very needed if you're going to be making fires on the regular !

Collect lighters and matches ! I love collecting lighters and have a whole pouch with different colors , different lights and funky designs !

Correct fire - resistant things ! ( boots , wallets , cases , ect ! )

Carry lighters and small to-go fire starters ( where we live , it's popular to use small cubes , yet I've seen a specific sort of cotton too ! )

Light candles in your room / work desk ! Having bigger / taller candles can make the flame appear bigger !

Learn about fireworks , explosives and fire-bombs ( also known as petards ) !

If you have things that you are sure you don't need / are useless to give away - light them up and burn it ! ( granted , if it's safe to burn ! ) < 3

Want something cool ? Make a bonfire and add Epsom salt from a safe distance - you get white flames !

Hope this helped , stay safe and good luck < 3

My quest to get to 600 achievements in the Halo MCC continues!

6 more to go but I'm running very low on things I can actually do. I have "Life Story" in progress, which is to complete the Master Chief playlist:

In other words, this playlist takes you through Halo Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3 and Halo 4. Do you see where I left off?

I swear, I'd rather play "The Library" on Legendary 20x than try to get through the "Cortana" level on Normal. I haven't played it in SO long and I got SOOOOOO LOST. Then I discovered a flamethrower, yay! 😃

Then I discovered that the Flood LOVE to run at you after you set them on fire, thus setting ME on fire. 🔥😐🔥

Resulting in much ☠️

So a lot of Not Fun™️was had for the next 40 minutes while I went in circles, catching myself on fire, and eventually telling every Flood I met that nobody liked them and that everybody talked about them in the break room.

(No, seriously, I said that out-loud and the big Tank Flood smacking me around gave this sad "aaaaWOOOOO" noise and then I felt guilty, lol)

(Still flamethrowered him from a safe distance, though 😇)

However! My next absolute least favorite level is the one that follows, which is "Halo." Not to be confused with the level "Halo" that's, you know, on Halo 2, lol. 😉

I actually really love the Warthog run, despite the fact that I, yep, you guessed it, got lost a few times. But man, that music and you've got the Arbiter on the turret with you and you're just doing this desperate drive to get to safety and it's just awesome! 😎

But the first part of the level? Can go suck rocks through a straw. GAHHHH, I haaaate that part where you're trying to fight your way up all of those outer levels and the Flood is coming at you from every direction and I died SO. MANY. TIMES.

So, I started whining saying, "Stop shooting me, I'm soft and small!!!"

The Flood didn't care about that but I think Chief was getting a bit perturbed that I was calling him soft and smol, so... We finally found a strategy that worked. (Find a place to hide and let the Arbiter carry us as much as possible, lol!) However, there was a flamethrower there that came in much more handy than it did on the outside as opposed to in the cramped quarters of "Cortana." So that also helped!

Except for that one Flood I flamethrowered who then ran into the Arbiter and he sassed me about it. Hey, I just roast the marshmallow, I can't help where it runs off to!

Pretty sure that Arbs didn't buy that excuse. 🤷‍♀️😂

Anyway, next I need to get through Halo 4. I keep reminding myself that I played this darn thing on Legendary so I can get through it on Normal but I'm not looking forward to it.

I ideally will find a couple of levels in 4 that I can get the par score on. On 3, I got close to the par score on "Sierra 117" so I'm hoping I can get it with more practice. That's pretty much it for what I have left in Halo 3, though. I'm going to go back to CE and try again for "Truth and Reconciliation" and "Keyes" which were two missions I got very close for nabbing the par scores. So that's hopefully 3 more achievements towards my total, then "Life Story" for finishing the Master Chief playlist. Which will put me at 599.

😐

I was able to do 3 that involved making maps/trying out maps, which I didn't realize you could do in multiplayer alone, so that was cool. And I got "Airborne" which was one I wanted to be able to do from the start but every guide on it said you had to do it in co-op. I put on all of the ideal "blowy-uppy" skulls to help the Warthog get maximum lift and tried it on my own. I could use plasma grenades to get it in the air for 5 seconds but having it splatter an enemy when it landed just seemed impossible. Until I found somebody showing how they'd done it accidentally on the level "The Maw." They hit a carrier form with the Warthog right at the start of the "outdoor" part, it exploded and launched them, 'hog and all, for the 5 seconds, then landed on all of the infection forms, which totally counts! I tried a few times and was finally able to replicate that and I totally did a fun little dance to celebrate!

Anyway, love you all, friends, and wish me luck on my continuing Journey to 600 Cheevos! 😃🤗😉

[zepskies]

I feel like we have no choice but to write angst with this character! loll (God how I love that Amber x Mark gif 🤣)

Ahhh thanks, Wayne!! 🥹 I told you, the first thing I saw when Michelle gave me that color palette prompt was "seasons." The colors were just perfect for it, so I thought the dividers were a simple way to capture that 💗

Her answer took me tf out! Loved her bold sass 😏🔥

Ehehe that's the line where I found the character tbh. 😂 Mark needs to be with someone who can keep even him on his toes!

Oh, interesting! Also ballsy of Mark to date his boss’ daughter. Let’s hope he doesn’t screw it up 🤞🙈

Right?! lmfao I figured if anyone was gonna, it'd be Mark 😂😂

I’m getting a queasy feeling in my stomach… I genuinely already love them! Their little beach day in Santa Cruz was so cute 🥹 (and my love for Cali is never ending, too) But my heart hurts so much because I think I can guess where this is going. WHY ALEX 😫

Aww yay!! 🥹 This is why I also loved getting your request and Michelle's at the same time, because I saw how this one could later connect to "Hits Different" when I looked up the lyrics 🥲☀️

Poor reader! Hard enough when a parent is dying, but even worse when you have to watch them go 🥺 (And so close to the wedding as well! Truly can understand her pain that her father didn’t get to walk her down the aisle anymore 😭)

Ugh, exactly, on both counts! 😓 And of course it's just fuel on the fire for Mark's later reluctance to tell her about his diagnosis.

(Her father's death is actually based on how my grandfather passed away in December. 💙 He was a smoker for 30 years, quit for 40, but it still unfortunately caught up to him in his 80s.)

(I had to lmao)

Bahaha winter is definitely coming! 🤣 Jon Snow = perfection

Men… lol We’ve had this discussion before with your headcanons about men and doctors/being sick. I think we can add Mark to that list 😂

omfg yeah!! 🤣🤣 Mark would literally be the reigning king of medical man denial. And that reminds me, I'm gonna have to add Mark to the HC lineup soon! 🤭

Dear God, the sister’s already a lot 🙈 You better ain’t trying to impress your sister’s fiancé, girl…

Ahaha thank you for catching that hint! She's trying to impress somebody all right 😅

The fact her father died just months before from cancer just adds such a nice and angsty layer to this whole story. Of course Mark wouldn’t want her to go through that again after he’d witnessed how the sickness and death of her father affected her. And I do understand where he’s coming from when he essentially doesn’t want to tie her to a “dead man walking,” but man, does it break my heart. It’s such a hard situation for both. Ultimately, he should’ve involved her in the decision, though. The choice should be hers if she can handle it or not, if she wants out etc.

Aw thank you! 🥲 I was trying to think of added reasons why Mark wouldn't want to tell her, and this to me felt the most impactful, especially because her dad was Mark's boss, and in my head, his mentor too. 💔

And so agree -- he should've just talked to her, even if it was probably going to be one of the most difficult conversations of their entire relationship.

Jesus fucking Christ, that makes it even sadder and more messed up 😭 (I do love your brain for this masterpiece of cruelty)

Ehehe sorryyyyyyy. 🤭 But see? He wanted to have The Talk with her, he just never got there 🥲

But man, the fact he legit was so drunk that he stumbled into the wrong room and was basically taken advantage of in this state by her sister?! I hope the bitch burns in hell, seriously 😅

Ughhhh you and me both. As you saw in Part 2, Rachel deserves every bit of the hellfire lmao

It’s been my headcanon as well that he probably cheated on Melinda with Rachel to give her an “easy out” after finding out his diagnosis, but in my opinion, it’s even worse than actually cheating on her because he’s a stupid, selfish ass because it would’ve meant he never really love her to begin with. But doing that shit to someone you genuinely love is messed up 🙈

This was my initial instinct too for Melinda and Rachel, and while it's very plausible, it doesn't make Mark sympathetic for that exact reason. If he was going to marry a girl he didn't love enough to simply tell the truth and not cheat on her right before the effing wedding, then he's a POS for that. I really hope it comes out that he fibbed to Amber about that.

And since you've already read Catastrophic Blues (tysm 🥹 - can't wait to get into your lovely amazing feedback) I'll tell you this part:

Even in this story I debated going that exact route, having Rachel and Mark actually sleep together to create that "out" (or he just lets her do "something" sexual to him lol). But in the end I felt that no, if he truly loved the reader he would've put a stop to Rachel's advances the best he could, even while drunk. 💔

But I love how you took that mini plot line and put your own spin on it. Especially for this story, I prefer Mark accidentally stumbling into Rachel’s room, and Rachel taking advantage of him. If he’d done it on purpose to “free” reader, I would’ve murdered him. After losing their father, it would’ve been so cruel of him to tear their family apart in the wake of it, so I’m glad you went a different way here. Not sure I could’ve forgiven the other thing 🫣

Exactly, I wouldn't have forgiven him either if it was intentional 😭😭

And it's an unfortunate truth that there are girls like Rachel out there: immature, selfish, jealous, entitled, even downright hateful. So I wanted to explore the thing of, there are of course predatory men out there, but there are also predatory women. Sometimes the ones that should love you the most are the ones who hurt you the most 😭

Can’t wait to jump straight into Part 2! I can totally see the song fitting for the aftermath of this 😎💜💜💜

🥹🙏🏽💗 When I tell you I got SO much inspo from "Hits Different," like immediately lol. And *gasp* I also ended up liking "Snow on the Beach" from the same album! 🤭 I also liked "Lavender Haze."

Count me as Swiftie Curious, I guess?

DOWNGRADE

Pairing: Mark Meachum x F. Reader

Summary: There it was. The beginning of the end, and neither of you saw it coming.

AN: Ahhh here we go! For the first time ever, Mark Meachum! Obviously I’m still learning this guy as a character, but this idea grabbed me and wouldn’t let me go. Thanks so much, @luci-in-trenchcoats for choosing this color prompt for the 5K Follower Celebration!

Spring

Mark set two mugs of coffee on his nightstand to free up his hands. He had to cut wide swaths through the bedsheets to reach you. As usual, you were a tangle of limbs and frizzy hair.

“Jesus, what’d you do here, woman?” he said, lips tugging at a smile when he heard your muffled giggle.

Eventually he unearthed your head and found your sleepy smile. You squinted at the sun glaring through the window behind him. It backlit that look of fond amusement on his face.

You clawed half-blind at the front of his shirt and pulled him down to you. He lost his footing and grunted as he fell, just barely catching himself from crushing you. Your laugh rang in his ear and forced a chest-shaking rumble out of him too.

You freed your own arms from the warm nest you created, just to take his face in your hands. Your thumbs caressed along the coarse edges of his beard.

“Getting scraggly, baby,” you remarked.

“Yeah, but you like your man all wild and caveman-like,” he said mischievously.

You shook your head, but you still couldn’t stop yourself from smiling.

“Only when he fucks me,” you said. A cheeky challenge in your eyes.

Mark’s brows popped high, his devilish grin showing teeth. It didn’t matter how long you’d been his, you still managed to keep him on the ropes.

“Well, he does aim to please.”

Summer

The sound of your laugh was like sweltering sunshine in his chest. After the wave finished dunking you both, you swept the salty sting of the ocean out of your eyes and clung to his shoulders in the water.

Santa Cruz agreed with you. It shone down on your glistening skin and caught in your eyes. You both needed this—taking a beat, just the two of you.

Finally, Mark had allowed himself to take some time off. He was reluctant at first, workhorse that he was. But the Captain—your father—insisted that Mark take a break. Wrapping up a triple homicide after four months of legwork, getting to see that motherfucker be denied bail until trial, and giving the victims’ families a sense of relief that the killer was off the streets was a decided win.

“You’ve got someone waiting for you,” the Captain reminded him. “Don’t take that for granted.”

Mark grabbed your left hand and pressed a kiss into your palm. He felt the coolness of metal against his lips. It reminded him to turn your hand over.

“Whoa!” He closed his eyes and playfully looked away as if he was being blinded. “Who gave you that fucking rock?”

The summer sun glinted off a modest stone. Your sister told him not to overthink it. Just get the classic square cut. But his instincts told him to go with something called a “cushion,” like the sales lady said at Jared’s.

Mark knew he made the right choice when you gasped, covering your mouth with shaky hands, your eyes filling with tears when you met his slightly nervous ones.

Now, you just laughed in his face. “Oh, nobody really. Just the love of my life.”

His smile quirked, even though his heart was double-timing.

“You’re so fuckin’ cheesy.”

“But you love it, though.”

(That day, you both spent an extra hour looking for the ring when it somehow slipped off your finger and fell into the sand.)

Fall

“I’m just saying, sweetheart,” Mark said, his tone deep and gentle while he steadied you in his arms. “Maybe it’s best we put off the wedding, just a few months. It’s a lot coming at you right now.”

You shook your head, covering your mouth with trembling fingers.

“No,” you said eventually, but your words faltered along with your unsteady breaths in between. “No, he wouldn’t have wanted that. I just wish he, uh…could be there.”

You were a pillar of a woman, but no one could fault you for falling apart. Your father had been a lifelong smoker. He quit ten years ago, but it still caught up to him in his sixties, a severe case of COPD that he’d been trying to hide for months. It eventually withered him down to weeks of degeneration in a hospital bed, relying on oxygen masks that could no longer sustain him.

Your mother and sister had left the room for just half an hour to grab some coffee. You stayed behind.

You were alone with your father when he died. All you could do was hold his hand.

Now, all Mark could do was hold you. But he had to blink past a sharp pain, almost like a sudden migraine. Aftershocks reverberated through his skull, radiating from the right to the left.

He’d been dealing with less intense versions of the feeling for a month, but this time, it was like a small shiv between the eyes. It took him enough by surprise that it forced a grunt out of him, making him grimace and blink hard.

You picked your head up from his chest and met him with tearful eyes, frowning in concern.

“You okay?” you asked.

“Yeah,” Mark said. “Just a little headache.”

Winter

“Mark, you need to go to the doctor. You’ve gone through three bottles of Advil. That’s not normal.”

“Look, I told you already. I’m fine.”

“Yeah. That’s really convincing.”

“…Look, that’s Rachel pulling up. You ready to go?”

 You looked out the windows near the front door and saw your sister walking up the driveway. You blinked, like you both could and couldn't believe what you were seeing.

“Wow," you said. "She couldn’t have found a skimpier dress to check out the church. Who’s she trying to impress? The pastor’s already married.”

Mark snorted in amusement, but something soon occurred to him.

“Didn’t you tell me she and her boyfriend just broke up or something?”

“Yeah, but what does that have to do with it?”

He shrugged. “Eh, I don’t know. She’s probably just looking for attention.”

You sighed. You loved your younger sister, but there were times when you wished she’d just grow up a little.

One appointment with Mark’s primary doctor led him to the oncologist. His entire inner world was leveled with just two words:

Glioblastoma Multiforme.

Two words he couldn’t say to you.

It all rang between his ears…

The excitement in your voice when you told him how your last fitting went for the dress.

Faces he’d put behind bars. Years he’d scraped and clawed his way through bureaucratic bullshit, standing his ground against officers with more power than him, but never as much heart.

Your raw, broken grief when you watched your father waste away from the absolute monument of a man he’d been.

How was Mark supposed to level your world too?

He kept it all inside. And like the master of improv he was, he faked enthusiasm for a joint bachelor-bachelorette weekend.

One late night. One fifth of whiskey at the hotel bar turned into numbers he stopped counting—until the Captain reminded him.

You’ve got someone waiting for you. Don’t take that for granted.

He needed to find you.

Somehow, he made it to the elevator by himself. Third floor. Room 304, 305, 306. Fuck. Was it 309?

The door opened, and his addled fucking brain thought it was you at first. She almost had your eyes, if just half the sincerity of your smile.

Rachel welcomed him in and shut the door. He stumbled at the threshold, and she stopped him from falling completely onto the floral-patterned carpet.

“Oh my God, Mark. You okay?”

No. And he knew he wasn’t ever gonna be okay.

But her hands were warm, carving sensuous paths under his leather jacket without him realizing.

“Don’t worry. I’ve got you.”

AN: 🫣 I know, I know - I'm sorry it's not my usual happy ending. 💔 But! I am working on a second part to this for @waynes-multiverse, who also requested Mark Meachum for the 5K Celebration...though that one's gonna be even angstier than this one loll 😅 (but maaaybe with a kind of happy ending?)

In the meantime, what did you think of this drabble? Don't you wish we could've stayed in Summer? ❤️‍🩹

Pyrography part two!!

[yanitoooo]

So I was contacted by my ex boyfriend from 2015, he’s now in prison (not sure why), but he was kool in my eyes, although he came with certain bullshit. Anywaysssss…..let’s get into this wild ass shit yo🙄🤦🏽‍♀️

The ex hit me on FB messenger tryna check the temperature and of course I was shocked to hear from him, being that his homie told me back in 2017, that ex boo got locked up again. Mind you when I met him, he let me know he just got home from a 5yr bid. How we met it was cute how he approached me, he was very respectful, fine af, tall and dark just how I like em😋. We exchanged numbers and went about our night, but of course he was on it…he texted me fast and wanted to get to know me, asked what neighborhood I was from. So boom…we chatting, he called and was like he wanna see me and allat good stuff. I gave him the addy of the next neighborhood over from mine. I never give people my addy off rip, tf I’m too street smart.

He finally hit me with a text saying he’s outside, I walked up with my sister and the vibes was right after interacting with dude.

Fast forwarding tho to when we got super kool and spending a lot of time with each other, I’m saying he was the perfect guy for me on top of money not being an issue. But as time passed, he would be slacking up on time spend and it was days I’d have to work or hang with friends, he wasn’t tryna hear that tho. He was on demon time and wasn’t tryna lose me, so he started coming back around after 2 weeks of straight no communication…I’m an Aries female so it’s easy for us to cut ties, no matter how bad it may hurt. He hit me saying he needs me and that we need to talk about us. We linked up same day, because I dead don’t play about my man LOL. Dude had crutches 🩼😩….he done got into some drama and ended in a shootout, he got hit in one of his legs, not sure what happened to the opps, but it made sense as to why he wasn’t reaching out as much, he lemme know he wanted to protect me, because it wasn’t safe. We had bomb sex all the time, so when 2 weeks of not having each other…we got to it on his bad leg and it was still fire 🔥 lol

The kind of person I am, if I got it to help I will help and do what I can. I ended up paying for his haircuts, food, got him a new phone just so he can back on the right path and tried to motivate him to stay out the streets and get a job, even paid for the rental.

Man this mf never returned me my deposit from the rental, I wasn’t tripping but yeah you gotta at least tell me what’s up! A month and a half went by and dude literally was ghost. Once again I didn’t stress it, I missed him but was low key tight, because I’m helping a person who not keeping it real! He ended up calling me from another phone number and telling me he didn’t call because he needed that money to help pay bills at his homie krib. Idgaf my nigga you gotta tell me that or I’ll lose respect for ya! Which I did, but me being 21 at the time, I wasn’t even tripping how I should’ve, but yeah. I was doing me and couldn’t even care anymore 😂 .

So present time he’s been locked up for 7yrs now, I’m chatting with him on JPay and accepting calls after he done put his mom on me to do a 3 way call. We started reminiscing, I let him know what’s new with me and that I moved and got a family now. Conversations was smooth, but of course I know guys talk a good one from the slammer lmao. After 2 weeks of conversing, he asks for a favor ( knew it was coming), wanting to know if I can put some bread up for a move so he can make more, he explained he needed to take care of his kids. So I asked him how many bms does he have knew, because he only had 2 when I was with him….this man says5🫤🫤🫤…I almost spit my drink out while we was on the phone, his energy did switch because he know I’m looking at him crazy in my head. He said can I cashapp somebody so they get this operation going, I did because I was like damn dude might really need help with whatever he’s dealing with. (The backstory from what he told me was crazy, sad, & wild). He thanked me for sending that kite, but also said money will be coming back to me and I said that’s kool too. I trusted him on last time although initially I didn’t want it paid back, but I’m not gonna say nah don’t give it back lol.

Mother’s Day week just passed and I was occupied with my family and he kept blowing my phone up collect call and of course im too busy to answer which I told him the weekend before. Tell me why he gave mad people my number and Facebook name to try to contact me to see if I’m good and I told them tell him yeah. Then shortly afrer his peoples saying “so and so said can you send the money to this cash tag $______”… I’m like what money (it’s my bread wtf). I just ignored them. Then he his mom comes texting saying I better send her son his money because she’s on a fixed income and he was recently transported to another prison (not really my problem, but I get it’s frustrating). I told that lady what it was, she was appauld. I had to block him and gotta stop having a good heart for ppl, especially ones who showed themselves in the beginning.

Hello great author! I love your one shots and stories. They are all like 😳😩👌 I love your ideas and all your writing. I would love to see more son Gojo x stepmother reader and also If Only He Wasn't, If Only I were on Ao3 because I love it so much. I don't impose, you can do what you want, because you are the author. I just love it. Are there any extra scenes for this? Or more to this storyline? I'd like to read more about this idea because it's one of the best stories I've read.

I believe that because of the perfection of what you write, you probably also have great taste in other authors. Are there any kind authors you recommend? Fluff, smut, angst, it could be anything. And also Au. I'm looking for someone who writes these things and is also open to readers.

I would like to read the works of the people you read because I would like to meet somebody who are friends or authors of fics that one of my favorite writers reads.

Your works are always fire 🔥. I love it with all my heart and was always happy when something new appeared.

You can ignore me if you want. Sorry for my English. I wish you good luck in continuing to create beautiful works like all the ones you have, and that you have wonderful days ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Another Toniann answers curious anon questions.

Hello there, anon!  😊 Thank you for reading and enjoying my stories/one shots. It means a lot to me, honestly. It makes me happy that you enjoy them. Big hearts 💕to you. 

Ok so let’s just jump into the meat of the matter here. First and foremost, I just want to let you know that there will be more Stepson! Gojo x Stepmom! Reader story coming up in the future. I actually have chapter two sitting in my draft, I’m just not comfortable with releasing it as yet. 

Here's a draft

Now, as for If Only He wasn’t, If Only I were, there won’t be a continuation of that story and I have a few reasons I won’t continue with it. The first reason is due to the fact that when I first published the story and I realise that I was getting a lot of support and being the people pleaser that I am, I began to rush the story and because I rush the story I fucked up the story line. There was no fixing it without deleting the whole entire story. 

My second reason ties back to the first one and that is I made a lot of mistakes when writing. I created a lot of plot holes and questions, more than answers to questions like (where are the parents? How did Gojo and Y/N keep their relationship hidden from them for so long? How would they react to it?) and many other questions. Once again I wouldn't have been able to fix that without deleting the whole story. 

My third reason is that Gojo didn’t really have much of a character or character personality (if that makes sense) he has no reason to become a yandere. I just felt like him hoping into yandere mode that quickly just felt rushed and I didn’t like that.

My fourth reason had to be the age gap between Gojo and the reader and lastly, I made a huge mistake when I made Gojo being to one who is manipulating the sister. So instead of deleting the story, I kept it and rewrote an entirely different story, correcting the mistakes that I’ve made and that story is now called, Loving you is my Obsession. 

The age gap is the first thing that I’ve addressed. The reader is 11 and Gojo is 17. And there’s a reason for that. I wanted her to be that young because it would give Gojo more reasons to want to be in her presence, protect her innocence and so on. This age gap actually ties into Gojo now having a character personality/character. I gave him a backstory, a change in attitude towards women (he hates them) and so on. 

Now remember when I said that the biggest mistake that I’ve made was making Gojo be the manipulator. Well the sister is now the one manipulating Gojo. This made perfect sense to me because I would allow the reader (like you) to see a progression in Gojo’s behaviour towards his sister. It’ll allow readers to see how Gojo suddenly changed from wanting to protect and just have a healthy sibling relationship with his step sister to an unhealthy love and obsessive relationship (yandere). 

The sister being the manipulator is perfect because with her being so young, and being the only one or the only woman who is allowed to even touch Gojo give her an advantage to make it easier for him to love her and only her. So she’ll use her innocence against him to make him do things like kissing, inappropriate touching and you know the rest. She’ll use his words against him, like if you’ve read chapter two then you’ll see where she used his words against him to get him to kiss her. 

Megumi also had a big role to play in If Only He Wasn’t, If Only I Were. I made a mistake spoiling his whole character in that story, so in the new one, I fixed him. But I won’t tell you that one (lol) no spoilers. I could go on and on about the changes and the plans that I have for the new version of the story, but I won’t. 

I do have an extra scene. Actually, it’s titled The Upset Dinner. Here's a draft that I have stored on my Wattpad😊

And the story originally wasn’t tilted If Only He Wasn’t, If Only I were. It was actually called: Because you are my brother, I can not love you. Before I came up with the concept of Loving You Is My Obsession, the first rewritten version of the story was called, More than Siblings (this one had Geto in the mix) but I scrapped it when I realised that I didn’t like it very much. 

Now moving on - 

Ok I don’t necessarily have favourite authors, I just have authors that I respect and love their works. I can recommend a few. You can check out:

MORNING 🌄 DEVOTION

MORNING 🌄 MIRROR

TOPIC: Remember where you've fallen

TEXT: "Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent"–Revelation 2:4-5 (KJV).

MESSAGE

Someone said, "people seek Gods face when they're in need of something and once they get it, the will go about their normal sinful lifestyle" Yes! it's a true saying. there was a story I heard about a particular man in one church; he prayed to go for financial prosperity–he wanted to buy a vehicle for business. He was very devoted member of the church. He prayed and prayed–dropping many prayer request for God to bless him. Finally, God answered his prayer and he bought the vehicle... After sometimes, his christian life started wearing away–he became luckwarm. He started chasing money instead of his first love who gave him the opportunity.

God is gracious and merciful but it's our attitude that delay our success. He love us but it's our sin that separate us from him. I realized, sometimes, God wants to shape our attitude–the way we think and reason before placing us to the right position in life. Then you're going to be left with hard time. it will seems you're going to die. but He's just training and shaping you to be the best version you're meant to be.

Moreover, brethren, you've been hot and burning in holy-ghost until God bless you and you forget to continue –you get carried away by material things. When you're newly born again, you were fire 🔥 but now, is the fire still burning? The Lord is urging us to remember were we have falling and repent. remember your first love. disengage yourself from anything that will take the first love you have from you. hope the lord is blessing somebody.

QUOTE: The degree of your devotion to God is a measure of the difference between your past life and present one.

CHALLENGE: Remember your first love.

PRAYER: Loving God, give me grace to love and serve you unfailingly in Jesus name, Amen.

BIBLE READING: Revelation 2

AM Dialect | “Execution Over Ego: Why I Had to Get Over Myself to Grow”

Introduction

I been sitting on this post for weeks. Not because the message wasn’t clear—but because I wasn’t. I told myself a thousand times, “I need to post. I need to share. I need to give what I’ve got.” And still… I didn’t move. Not consistently. Not with the groundedness I preach. And trust, I’m not new to this game—I’m just tired of pretending like desire and discipline carry the same weight. They don’t.

This post is for the folks who know better but still hit snooze on their calling. The ones who feel the pull, but keep letting the day get away from them. This is for the bother in the mirror looking back at me like, “Fam, are you really about this or just inspired by the idea of it?”

The Moment I Knew It Was Me

Everybody wants to transform until it’s time to be consistent. I sat with that. I ain’t lack tools. I wasn’t short on vision. What I lacked was execution. And that hit me hard. I had to admit—I was standing in my own way. Nobody was blocking me. No system. No platform. Just me and my comfort zone, singing lullabies to my potential.

What really lit the fire was this line I scribbled while journaling late one night: “You got to get over yourself.” It was raw. But it was truth. Too often, I confuse fear with wisdom. I dress up doubt in intellectual outfits and call it discernment. But really? It’s hiding. It’s ego. And ego is the enemy of aligned action.

Key Takeaways

Your dreams do not become real because you pray hard. They become real because you move in alignment with the prayer—daily.

Being spiritual doesn’t mean being passive. Faith without execution is just fantasy with good vibes.

If you’re an artist, a healer, a creative, or someone rebuilding—you owe it to your future to show up even when you aren’t inspired. Inspiration loves discipline.

Real-World Application

These past few weeks, I’ve been challenging myself to post even when I didn’t feel “ready.” And let me tell you—none of it was perfect. But people responded to the honesty. The imperfection gave me depth. It stopped being about the post and started being about the promise I made to myself. That hit different.

I also began tracking consistency, not performance. I asked myself one question at the end of each day: “Did I honor the version of me I say I’m becoming?” If the answer was ‘nah’—it wasn’t guilt that followed, it was guidance. Because awareness without blame is where real growth begins.

Don’t wait on ideal conditions. Don’t wait on clarity to fall from the sky. Take the step. Move scared. Show up raggedy if you have to. Your purpose don’t require polish—it requires your presence.
