So happy to see piper’s world is back :) not sure if it’s already in the plans but would you be open to writing a fic/blurb about how Jessie and Reader talk to piper about being together? Does she figure it out on her own or do they sit down with her and explain?

I think in Busted Piper mentioned R and Jessie being “best friends” and then at some point that escalates and Piper calls Jessie her mom. I’m just curious about that transition.

*cracks knuckles* i’m so fucking back baby

OK!!! so, when ‘busted’ takes place, reader and jessie have been seeing each other (mostly in secret) for a few months. jessie had been hanging around a lot more by that point (sleeping over, doing activities, generally being present in piper’s life) but the reason niamh and sam didn’t know that jessie was around a lot is because piper wasn’t hanging around chelsea a lot. before jessie, her only connection to the club is sam which means that she’s not going to be going to trainings or games or anything because if she needs to be babysat she goes to one of the arsenal girls.

i just thought i’d clear that up first.

after ‘busted’ jessie and reader explain to piper that they’re in a relationship and piper is just kind of like ‘ok!!!!’ because nothing really changes. the only big difference is now piper spends more time with a few of the chelsea girls (like niamh!).

the transition from ‘best friends’ to ‘mum’ is somewhat gradual, even if it doesn’t look like it in my fics. its very obvious that piper takes to jessie quickly, calling her ‘my jessie’ instead of ‘mum’s girlfriend’, because piper feels a sense of almost ‘ownership’ over jessie the same way she feels ‘ownership’ over reader.

(like when kids get defensive or possessive of their parents)

she feels this way because jessie acts like a parent before taking on an official parental role.

people also kept referring to jessie as piper’s other mum example is here so that also kind of influenced her.

all in all, very natural transition. id be more than happy to expand on it in a fic tho!

— the first night

piper’s world masterlist

synopsis: you and piper settle in for your first night alone in london

warnings: angst, talks of regret, the horrors of being in ur early 20s and not having anything figured out x100, also not proofread SORRYYYYY

a/n: tell a friend to tell a friend, SHES BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK (and rusty. whoops 🙂)

୧ ‧₊˚ 🧺⋅ ˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡˚

“i know, i know, i’m sorry. i’m so sorry” you whisper as piper continues to wail. you pace back and forth in your bedroom, the rain pelting your window not letting up.

you’d tried everything to get piper down but nothing had worked. not a bottle, a song, not pacing through the house or rocking her back and forth. it didn’t matter that your little girl was exhausted, she didn’t want to sleep. she’d been going down easier the first few days you were here but now it was as if nothing was going to soothe her.

your parents had helped you do the bulk of the moving but they’d flown back to australia in the morning, leaving you and piper alone for the first time in a week. it was the first time you’d been without your mum since you had piper and you were really starting to feel the weight of the world on your shoulders.

exhaustion began to settle into your bones and your eyes began prickling with the first warning of tears. you weren’t going to cry. you weren’t. you could do this. you had to do this. you do one final lap of the apartment before going into your room and sitting on the edge of your bed, your hushed whispers still being drowned out by the slowly dwindling cries of your baby.

you pull piper closer to your chest and breathe in deeply, trying to keep your emotions at bay. you weren’t an angry person and although you’d gotten frustrated over piper plenty of times before, you’d never let it get the best of you. the palm of your hand runs up and down her back repeatedly and you softly sing nursery rhymes into her ear, rocking back and forth slightly like your mum had shown you.

wails turn to tired sobs and babbling. piper finally calms down enough for you to place her in her crib, and you find yourself standing over her even after small puffs of breath escape her lips. for the first time since getting to london, you cry.

hot tears create tracks down your face, searing your skin and soothing your aching heart. it was hard. so fucking hard. and now you were truly doing it on your own. your parents were half a world away and you’re twenty one and feeling like you’re way in over your head. the move was a good move. the right move, is what you’ve been telling yourself. good for you and your little girl, an opportunity that you couldn’t pass up. a chance to not only play against some of the best in the world, but to make a promising life for you and piper.

that doesn’t do much to quell the sickness deep in your gut.

there was no turning back now, not with the three year contract you’ve just signed. not with what the media was saying about you being both a young mum and a promising young player. the future of the matildas they called you. a mistake that’ll cost her career they say.

powerful. trailblazer. strong.

you didn’t feel like any of those things.

you felt weak, and more like the kid that would sleep in your parent’s bed during heavy storms than a mother that was responsible for another living, breathing human.

but you are a kid, aren’t you? still not fully developed as a person or a player. still making mistakes that could cost you everything.

“you’re always going to make mistakes, that’s apart of life.” sam had said to you during your first camp back with australia. “it’s whether or not you let those mistakes define you” steph told you when you called her before signing the contract.

“mistakes make you human” is what polks assured you quietly in the dressing room.

you’ve never felt more human than in this very moment.

the mattress squeaks under your weight slightly as you sit back on your bed, shoving the heels of your palms into your eyes and practicing breathing exercises you’ve been doing since you first found out you were pregnant and steph had to talk you down from a panic attack over the phone. the ghost of the positive pregnancy test still sits heavy in your hand sometimes.

sometimes, during those fleeting moments, you wonder if you’ve done the wrong thing. if you really had made a mistake that was now something you wouldn’t fix, something you wouldn’t take back even if you had the chance.

because in front of you, now sleeping peacefully, is your little girl. the rain will continue to pour, a part of you will always need to crawl into the warmth and safety of your mother’s arms, and for now you’re still twenty one and overwhelmed and exhausted to your core, but you’re determined.

determined to get this right, determined to raise this little girl the best way you know how.

Who do you think the person on the last instagram dump Jessie posted of is? Do you think it’s the same person?

these? i think the first is jessie herself, the others i just assumed were her parents tbh i hadn’t put much thought into it

[jflemings]

Kyra. Cooney. Cross. 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

i don’t care if it’s only been 10 minutes

[jflemings]

Any chance there’s more piper fics in the works? I’ve been itching to read “the first night” since I saw it on the list.

I know you’re working on other stuff and I’m very excited to read all of that too. I just have a soft spot for that little world.

there wasn’t but ask and you shall receive, anon! i’ll add ‘the first night’ to my list of things to do.

thank you for loving my little world i’ve created :’) it’s one of my favs

[jflemings]

here's a small snippet of my new jessie fic in the works. - a spy au with a handful of other players that make up a team that doesn't make a whole lot of sense but it isn't real so it doesn't matter!

You were supposed to be in and out. It was a simple: drop the trackers off, find out who the new recruits were and then get out. Stick to the shadows, remain unseen and don’t - under any circumstances - get caught.

The problem? They sent you in with a rookie with little to no field experience.

The only reason you’d got stuck with a rookie was because you were partnerless and Sonia wanted new agents under you of all people. You, who hadn’t had a new partner in almost five years. You, who’d become so accustomed to moving with her like she was your mirror. You, who’d fallen into old habits and gotten your young, inexperienced new partner caught.

“Slider and twinkle toes have got her. Get moving” Ash says in your ear, the underlying desperation slipping beneath her calm mask. 

You drop your weapon and kick it to the feet of Miedema who toes it off to Park, Her face remaining emotionless and unreadable even in this situation. When Steph told you that everything that went down had been bad enough to send Mead off grid and into hiding you wished you’d listened to her.

Now as you stare down the barrel of a gun held by someone you held the upmost respect for, you can’t help but wish that Jessie was here to have your back.
