Wherever You Will Go, The Calling

A/N1: In this alternate universe, after King Constantine orchestrates two individual scandals to humiliate and entrap Riley Brooks and Olivia Nevrakis in shame, Madeleine Amaranth secures her position as the Queen of Cordonia. Riley, as the King’s mistress and Olivia, in self-imposed exile. Tariq is never found.

A/N2: My submission for @choicesflashfics, Week#67, prompt #1 - “Nothing could ever change how I feel about you.”

A/N3: My submission for @choicesjanuary2024, prompt Day 25 - ‘Remembrance’ #choices monthly challenge @lilyoffandoms #choicesjanuary2024

A/N4: Damien Nazario has been assigned as William’s personal bodyguard.

In Flight, Cordonian Royal Jet, above the Mediterranean Sea

Looking out over the vast expanse of water below her, and under the clear blue skies above the Mediterranean Sea, no clouds were in sight ... not a white cloud, nor a black cloud.

Riley gazed out the large passenger window of the private jet, in solace, with her memories. Everything felt calm; almost too calm. The flight from New York to Cordonia was eight hours in duration, and even though they left early in the morning, they would not arrive at the palace until late in the evening with the change in time zones.

Trying to and not getting any rest, her thoughts returned to the events over the holidays.

...Remembering when Liam arrived at her door, in New York on Christmas Eve, a short week ago. The expression of elation on his face as she opened the door for him...

[‘Hello, my love,’ he tenderly smiled; He was standing there with an exquisite bouquet of long-stemmed red roses, as uniformed delivery drivers from the toy store waited patiently at a distance behind him, as the Royal guard performed a security check.

Liam stepped over the threshold, leaning down to draw her in for a kiss on the cheek, as she accepted his gift. ‘Oh Li, these are gorgeous; thank you so much.’

At Bastien’s prompt, the delivery people entered the brownstone with prewrapped gifts and placed them under the Christmas tree, also filling the extra space in the living room very quickly.

Chuckling, Riley watched as Liam thanked them with a generous tip, as he closed the door after them.

“Our son will be so thrilled at what Santa brought him; wait till he wakes up tomorrow.”

Liam laughed, moving quickly to put his arm around her, pulling her to his side. “Who says all these gifts are just for him? Hmmm?” Riley turned her head towards him, as Liam bent to capture her lips in a passion-fueled kiss.

“Ah yes, your gift is right here.” Liam slipped his hand inside his coat to reveal a small box, wrapped in gold with a red ribbon. “This is for you.”}

Riley breathed out, shaking her head.

...Remembering wanting him so badly that evening ...as he kissed her forehead to say ‘good night’ before turning to the guest room; Leaving her feeling so confused, once again.

...Remembering how excited LiLi was when he saw his father again Christmas morning ... and the look of pure joy in Liam’s expression as he watched his son blissfully playing with his new toys.

...Remembering the look of adoration between Liam and his son; a private and sacred bond established between the two ... a bond only meant for them.

Riley looked down at her phone and smiled fondly at the picture of William. He was proudly standing beside his gingerbread house gift for Liam, alongside Daniel and Matteo, to smile at the camera. Riley marveled at how unequivocally her son loved his father, so quickly. As if two loose puzzle pieces finally clicked into place. There was never a doubt in her mind that William needed to be wherever his father was. The connection between father and son was undeniable.

...and with those thoughts, she agreed to return to Cordonia.

And now, she found herself on the Royal jet headed back, leaving behind her New York world for the place that shattered her ‘happily ever after,’ again.

Liam, being the new, ever-doting father was pointing out to his son the shores of Cordonia through the window. She saw the look of marvel in Liam’s eyes, as he watched his son’s reaction to seeing Cordonia for the very first time. They were sitting in seats across the aisle from her as she glanced over.

Catching Riley’s eye, Liam responded with a wink and a smile.

"Welcome home, love."

Riley smiled in return, as her heart skipped a beat.

Home...

It had been a while since she had felt this way about Cordonia. Another lifetime; so much has changed, and yet remained the same.

***

Damien Nazario, the Interpol agent who was now permanently assigned to be William Rys's personal bodyguard, was reviewing the Crown prince's dossier, and his duties to the Cordonian crown, his new employer. Bastien took a seat beside the young agent to answer any questions he may have, as head of the Royal guard, at the rear of the plane's cabin.

"So, Damien, any questions for me?"

"No, sir. I believe I have a handle on the situation.”

"Good, because you are now the official head of the security detail for Prince William, the future king of Cordonia."

"Understood, sir.” Damien was well aware of the complexity of a constitutional monarchy.

"Now, there's one more thing I need to discuss with you,” Bastien eyed the young agent.

"Yes, sir?"

"Madeleine Amaranth, the former queen of Cordonia. I have forwarded her updated dossier to you."

"Yes, I've read it through.” Damien paused, waiting for more information.

"Good, because she has expressed malicious intent towards Prince William and Lady Riley, should they return to Cordonia."

"Understood. I'll ensure her movements are tracked and reported inside and out of the country, sir."

"Thank you, Damien.”

"My pleasure, sir.”

Bastien, looking pleased, leaned back in his chair, checking the time on his watch, as he felt the plane begin its descent.

Cordonia, Capital

The jet touched down smoothly on the tarmac, as the engines powered down. The cabin door opened, and the stairs were lowered.

Riley could feel the warm breeze blow past her as she stepped off the plane.

Taking a deep breath, Riley looked around. The air was different here. It was fresh and clean. She closed her eyes and let the wind brush her cheeks.

Liam followed, with William sleeping in his arms.

"Is everything alright, love?" Liam’s brows were raised in concern, noticing her hesitation.

"Yes, I'm just taking it all in." Riley, looked down, unable to keep eye contact.

"Are you sure, Riley? You've been very quiet throughout the entire flight home."

"I'm fine, Liam. It is just a lot to process. I'm just a little overwhelmed."

"All right, I understand. Let us get to the palace, so you and William can get settled and rest ... okay?"

"Yes, thank you, Liam."

Liam glanced over at Riley with concern as he personally buckled his son into the car seat. It was quite easy for him to see and feel the apprehension in her mood. She could not hide her emotions from him as well as she always thought she could.

Riley had remained noticeably quiet during the ride to the palace as well, looking out at the passing countryside. Liam could not help but wonder if she was having second thoughts about returning to Cordonia, and/or to him.

As they pulled up to the palace gates, Liam looked over at Riley, noticing a small smile on her face.

"What is it, love?" Liam spoke softly, reaching for her hand.

Riley returned his touch with a squeeze. "This place...it's beautiful."

"Thank you, that, it is. Welcome home."

“William will be so excited when he wakes up.” Riley glanced at a still sleeping William as the SUV slowed to a stop.

"I can't begin to tell you how much it means to me.... to have you both here." Liam confessed.

"You're welcome, Liam. It's the least I can do."

Liam's heart sank at her words. He hated the distance between them. He wanted to take her in his arms and make everything right, but, for right now, he knew that was not the best strategy.

He had to accept that things had changed, and their relationship was different now. He had to be patient and give Riley the space she needed.

But he also had to make her see how important she was to him. He had to show her how much he had missed her ... that he wanted a future with her and William in Cordonia.

As the SUV door opened for her, Riley felt a sense of Deja vu. This was where she had started her journey with Liam in Cordonia all those years ago. And now, here she was, back again.

"Do you want me to take you and William to the guest wing, or do you want to stay in my chambers?"

"I would like to stay with you, if that's okay."

"Of course, Riley. I would love that."

It was surreal for Riley as she walked the pristine palace halls towards the Royal Chambers. Liam carried William, who was fast asleep in his arms beside her.

The memories of the past times she was here flooded her mind and her heart ached as she pushed the painful memories aside. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves.

As they reached the large double doors of the entrance to the Royal east wing, the guards opened the doors for Liam and Riley to enter.

Riley stepped inside; the same chambers where she had spent so much time before. The familiar scent of Liam's cologne filled the air, sending a wave of longing for a past time through her mind.

Walking into her room ... it was exactly as she remembered it. Everything was in its place, from the elegant chandelier hanging above the bed, to the intricate paintings adorning the walls.

Riley took a deep breath and sat down on the edge of the bed. She looked around the room, taking in every detail.

She felt a pang of sadness as she remembered those past times.

After tucking William into his bed in the adjacent room, Liam came in and sat down next to her. He gently placed his hand on hers, and she looked up at him, their eyes meeting.

"What are you thinking about Riley?"

"I'm okay, Liam. I was just thinking about how much things have changed since I was here last."

He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and held her close. "I know it's a lot, but I'm here for you, and I'll help you in any way I can," Liam whispered.

"Thank you, Liam."

He pulled away and cupped her face in his hands, staring into her eyes intently. "You're welcome, Riley. Always. Nothing could ever change how I feel about you.”

He moved in to press his lips to hers, and she melted into his kiss.

It was soft and gentle, and full of longing.

He broke the kiss and rested his forehead against hers, breathing heavily. "God, Riley, I've missed you."

"I've missed you, Li."

He leaned down and kissed her again, deeper this time.

His tongue swept across her bottom lip, and she opened her mouth to him.

Their tongues tangled together in a dance that was familiar and yet new.

They were no longer the same people they were when they had last been together. They were both older and wiser, and the passion between them burned even brighter.

Riley pulled away and put her hand on his chest, feeling his heart beating beneath her palm.

"Liam, I..."

"Shhh."

He placed a finger over her lips. "Don't say anything, Riley. Just feel."

His lips found hers again, and the world disappeared. There was nothing but the two of them, lost in each other.

She kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his neck.

She moaned into his mouth as he slid his hands down her back and pulled her closer.

He broke the kiss and buried his face in her neck, inhaling her scent.

"Riley," he breathed. "God, I want you so much."

“Liam, I ...”

Liam pulled back and looked into her eyes, “stay with me tonight.”

Office Hours, Part 25

Summary: Lorelei Browning has just secured a job as an assistant professor at Exeter College in Oxford. Naturally, she is eager to prove herself and meet every challenge sent her way, but what she does not expect is the tall, handsome stranger who will quickly become much more than a colleague…

Relationship: Richard Armitage x OC (Professor AU)

Word Count: 2.5k

Rating: T

Read on AO3

Somehow, even with the conference behind me, I only become busier as the end of the term draws near. Between assignments to correct and papers to edit, I barely have a moment to myself, let alone to spend with Richard. Unfortunately, the suspicions that began to gnaw at me at the conference have only grown with each passing day. I know Richard well enough to know when he is troubled, but every time I question him about it, he merely dismisses my concerns.

I desperately try not to let it worry me, especially as I have so many things demanding my attention at work, but I lie awake at night, watching him sleep, wondering what he is hiding from me. One moment, I am convinced all is well. I am convinced that Richard would never lie to me or intentionally hurt me in any way. But then he yet again evades my questions and locks himself in his study, and doubt festers in my heart. Even when he holds me or makes love to me, I feel this unbearable distance between us. Is this how he felt when I wanted to keep our relationship secret—when I refused to open myself to him?

The only person I could share my worries with is Beatrice, but I have been reluctant to do so due to her recent breakup. Still, simply being in her presence will help, which is why I am even more excited about her visit. I have not seen her since Christmas—the longest we have ever been apart since we met—and I cannot wait to see her. I was hoping I would get a chance to visit her in Edinburgh this time, but the conference and the release of my first monograph, on top of my classes, left me with no time to travel to Scotland for the weekend, so Beatrice happily undertook the journey to Oxford once again.

Mist hugs the city as I leave campus after my last tutorial of the day and drive to the train station to pick up Beatrice. It is a busy day in the city, with every park and café packed and cyclists rushing through the streets, but I find peace in the tumultuous atmosphere. After a short drive, I arrive at the train station and make my way through the main station building. Through the speakers overhead, a voice announces train arrivals and departures, but it is so muffled that I cannot make out the details. So when, a few minutes later, a wave of people rushes out of a hallway, I am surprised to see Beatrice among them, her long blonde hair, slightly tousled from travel, swaying in the air as she runs toward me. Once she is within reach, she nearly jumps into my arms and squeals so loud that many people turn around to eye us in annoyance. But we are both too happy to care as we hug each other tight.

“It’s soo good to see you! How are you?” she exclaims. Then, when we pull away, she playfully pats the top of my head and says, “Aw, my little hobbit—I had almost forgotten how small you are!”

I give her a look of mock annoyance, then say, with a hint of worry in my voice, as I recall her recent breakup, “I’m good! And how are you?”

“Good!” she echoes, and to my relief, she seems to mean it. “Really good now that I’m reunited with my bestie—I missed you so much!” Her voice is heavy with emotion as she pulls me in for another hug.

“I missed you, too! We can’t go this long without seeing each other ever again.”

“Well, that should be easier to arrange from now on,” she says, a twinkle in her eyes.

“Oh? Why’s that?” I ask with an inquiring rise of my eyebrows.

“How about I tell you over lunch? My treat!”

“No—I was going to invite you to lunch!”

She shakes her head. “No, no. My treat—I insist!” she says in a way that leaves me with no choice but to accept.

We talk non-stop as I drive into the city centre, then as we walk to Vaults & Garden, a lovely café tucked inside the church of St Mary the Virgin. Since the sun is now sneaking through the cloudy sky, we decide to eat in the garden outside, from where we have a stunning view of the Radcliffe Camera above the budding tulips, violets, and cherry blossoms. It is still rather chilly, but thankfully, the church shields us from the wind. I wait until we have ordered our food and are enjoying our drinks before returning to our earlier conversation.

“So … are you going to tell me now?”

She smiles widely. “I just accepted a new job offer. In London!”

“London? That’s only an hour an a half away from here!”

“I know!” she exclaims giddily. “We can visit each other all the time!”

I reach out to squeeze her hand as I smile. “That is such good news! What’s the new job?”

“You are looking at the new editorial director for fantasy at Bloomsbury Publishing. I start next month.”

“Shut up!” I exclaim in surprise. “Beatrice, that’s amazing! Congratulations!”

Her smile widens, and she waves her hands in excitement. “Thank you! Honestly, I can’t believe it—it’s my dream job!”

“I’m so excited for you—you really deserve it!”

“Thanks, Lor,” she says. “Look how far we’ve come already compared to when we met; I’m proud of us.”

With a smile, I glance at the beautiful city I now call home. “Yeah, I’m proud of us, too,” I reply just as our food arrives. We are silent for a little while as we eat, then Beatrice gasps as though in sudden realization.

“I forgot to congratulate you on your book!” I shake my head dismissively, but she goes on, “I received it only yesterday so I just started reading it on the train, but it’s amazing! I don’t think I’ve ever read such an entertaining academic book.”

“Oh, you flatter me!”

“I mean it! I’m not just saying that because you’re my best friend—I’m really enjoying it!” she insists, and heat rises up my neck. “And clearly, I’m not the only one who’s impressed by you. I was reading some reviews—”

“Oh, God, not you, too!” I say, half groaning and half laughing.

Beatrice looks at me inquisitively.

“Richard was reading some reviews out loud to me last night, even though I kept trying to make him stop,” I say, giggling at the memory.

“Awww! That’s so cute!” she exclaims with a wide smile. “So things are going well between you two?”

“Really well,” I reply, though I cannot stop my recent suspicions from tightening their hold on my heart once more.

Beatrice notices the change in my countenance immediately. “Uh oh, what’s wrong?”

I sigh. “Nothing.”

“No—tell me. I can tell there’s something.”

I sigh again, trying to dislodge the tightness in my chest. “There’s nothing wrong, it’s just … I have the strangest feeling that he’s hiding something from me—but that’s crazy.”

“Why do you get that feeling?”

“It started a few weeks ago, at the conference I organized with a colleague. He was late—I didn’t mind him being late—but he gave me this really vague excuse, and his mind seemed to be elsewhere. I’ve also noticed he’s been constantly checking his phone since, but when I question him about it he just shrugs it off. And I don’t know if this is related or not, but he’s in touch with this professor at Harvard with whom he might be working on a project soon—which is really exciting—but whenever I ask him about it, he changes the subject.”

“That’s weird….”

“Yeah, and I hate that because we’ve always shared our research with each other and exchanged advice, and now … I don’t know—am I freaking out over nothing?”

“Well, I don’t know, but you should definitely talk to him about it. Just let him know you’ve noticed how he doesn’t talk about his work with you that much anymore and you miss that.”

“I guess I should do that … It’s just—things are perfect between us right now! And I’m so afraid of doing anything to mess it up again.”

“Oh, Lor,” Beatrice says in a calm, comforting voice as she reaches out to squeeze my hand. “I get that—I really do—but you can’t just stay silent on things that bother you because you don’t want to mess anything up.”

I trail my free hand through my hair. “I know, you’re right.” Suddenly, I realize how insensitive I am acting and shake my head. “Sorry for dumping all this on you, especially considering….” I trail off, not wanting to scratch that scab, but Beatrice does not seem bothered at all.

“Oh, don’t worry about that. Paul and I weren’t in love or anything—it just didn’t work out. And I guess it’s good that it didn’t because now I’m moving to a different city and it would have ended anyway. Long distance relationships are too tricky.”

“Yeah, I suppose,” I reply quietly. “Still, I’m sorry it didn’t work out.”

Beatrice shrugs, then a playful smirk lights up her face. “If I’m still single when I’m 40—you’ll marry me, right?”

“Oh, of course! Hopefully, Richard will understand.”

“Or he could join us?”

We both burst out laughing, and soon, the conversation degenerates into our usual—and somewhat inappropriate—nonsense. It is only now that I realize just how much I missed Beatrice. She is right; long-distance relationships—be they romantic or platonic—are hard, and I am beyond relieved to know she will be near once more.

***

“Wow! This place is amazing!” Beatrice exclaims as we peek into the Exeter College Dining Hall. The late afternoon sun spills through the stained glass windows onto the polished floor and empty wooden tables. “It looks like the Hogwarts Great Hall!”

After lunch, we walked through the city centre, passing by the Radcliffe Camera and the Sheldonian Theatre. Then, as we passed by Exeter on Broad Street, Beatrice insisted I give her a tour of the college campus as she did not get the chance during her last visit.

“Yes, it does bear similarities,” I reply with a chuckle before dragging her toward the next stop on our tour. “So, I showed you the courtyards, the library, and now the Dining Hall,” I muse. “Would you like to see the chapel? There’s a bust of Tolkien there—it was sculpted by his daughter-in-law, Faith Tolkien—”

“I want to see your office!” she says with a wide smile. “And maybe your professor?”

My laughter echoes through the empty corridor as I lead her back toward the courtyard. “He’s not here—he had some meetings online so he went home early.”

“Bummer,” Beatrice replies, pouting playfully.

“You’ll see him tonight!” I remind her about our evening plans. “He’ll text me when his meetings are over and we’ll meet him at the pub. By the way—he told me he was a bit nervous about meeting you. He says he needs to make a good first impression or else you’ll convince me he’s not good enough for me.”

“Aw, that’s so sweet,” Beatrice chuckles. “Well, I won’t go easy on him, but I already have a pretty good impression of him.”

I smile as we climb up the ancient wooden stairs leading to the college offices. Through an open door, I see Sarah chatting with a student in her office, and I wave at her before reaching for my keys. “Alright—here we are!” I say as I unlock the door, and we enter my office.

I had time to tidy up yesterday after my tutorials, so everything from my desk to the walls lined with bookshelves is perfectly organized. Pale, grey light fills the room from the diamond grid window, and Beatrice gasps as she leans against the windowsill to watch the busy courtyard and the chapel to the left. Then she turns around, and a mischievous smile appears on her face as she gestures to the bookshelves behind my desk.

“So, is this where you did it with your professor last time I was in town?”

“We didn’t ‘do it’ that time,” I say, shaking my head, realizing my mistake too late.

“That time?” Beatrice raises an inquisitive eyebrow. “Meaning you did it at another time?”

Heat crawls up my cheeks, telling her all she needs to know.

“Lor, you are a dirty, dirty girl,” she says with a smirk. “I’m so proud of you.”

“Thanks, I learned from the sluttiest,” I reply in the same tone, causing her to laugh.

“Hey, I never had sex in my office!” Beatrice retorts. “Though I did have sex in a library once….”

“You did?”

“Yep,” she chuckles as she leans against my desk. “Senior year of my undergrad. Her name was Lauren. Man, she was hot—but not as hot as you, of course,” she adds playfully.

“Don’t flirt with me—I’m taken!”

Beatrice shrugs. “What Richard doesn’t know won’t hurt him.” I shake my head in amusement. Then, with an even more naughty smile, she says, “So, where else did you have sex with your professor on campus?”

“Nowhere!” I retort, but I can’t help but add, “Not yet, anyway.”

Beatrice bursts out laughing. “That’s my girl.”

Suddenly, my phone rings, and I smile when I see Richard’s name on the screen. “Hey!”

“Hi, love, how are you?” His rumbling voice asks from the other end of the line.

“I’m good! I’m giving Beatrice a tour of campus,” I reply, looking back to her just as she leans closer to the phone, causing me to chuckle.

“I thought a tour of the campus was our special thing?” Richard says playfully, and I can practically hear that charming smile of his. I smile in return as the memory of our first meeting, right here in my office, floats to my mind.

“Oh, don’t worry—that still has a very special place in my heart.”

He chuckles. “So, I was calling because my brother was actually thinking of dropping by this evening. What do you think of him joining us at the pub?”

“That would be great!” I exclaim.

“Yeah? Is that okay with Beatrice?”

“Hold on.” I move the phone away from my face and look at Beatrice. “Richard’s brother is in town. Would it be okay if he joined us later?”

“Absolutely!”

I smile and return my attention back to Richard. “She’s alright with it. What time shall we meet you there?”

“How about 7:30?”

“Sounds good! So we’ll see you later.”

“I love you.”

“I love you, too,” I reply before hanging up.

A wide grin is spread across Beatrice’s face. “So, this brother … is he hot?”

I laugh as I shake my head. “He’s married.”

“That doesn’t answer my question.”

“He’s not bad looking at all.”

“Then I’m really looking forward to tonight,” Beatrice says with a playful wink before I lead her onto the next step of our tour.

22.12.23 UTRZYMANIE WAGI dzień 296 ważenie

Zjedzone: 1600 kcal (limit +/-2100 kcal)

Bez liczenia: 2x mandarynka /łuskane orzechy laskowe ok 20 sztuk

No w końcu nastał dzień ważenia. Miałam duszę na ramieniu. Ale jestem zadowolona. Póki co pożegnałam widmo niedowagi. Niestety nie mam zdjęcia poprzednich stóp na wadze (bo twardy reset telefonu) więc screen z apki dla porównania.

Waga sprzed 2 tygodni i dzis (177 cm)

Doszło mi 1.65 kg przez 2 tygodnie acz kolwiek nie wiem czy to wynik ok biorąc pod uwagę brak 💩 i lekkie zapuchnięcie z powodu owulacji. Ogólnie jest ok. BMI 18.8 waga prawidłowa 👍. Co na to moja zryta bania? A no pewnie, że EDek niezadowolony, ale go nie słuchamy. Nie czuje się taka zasuszona tylko właśnie szczupła i ładna. Kochani następny wynik 5 stycznia i zapewne będzie to poświąteczna masakra 😮‍💨

***

Oczywiście śnieg dotarł także do mnie w postaci gwałtownej śnieżycy. Spadło chyba z 15 cm w ciągu godziny. Szansa na białe święta raczej słaba... Ale może...było by fajnie

Obiecałam wam też że pochwale się sernikiem oto on. Pokrimy go dopiero w Wigilię, więc mam nadzieję że w środku jest równie ładny. Na drugim foto szynka świąteczna. Cały dzień mi zajęła, ale tu już mogę się pochwalić, że wyszła bosko. Marynata śliwkowo miodowa (dzięki temu mam teraz słój powideł śiwkowych... I zgadnijcie co na kolację... 🙄)

Ot taki dzień. Gotowałam żarcie (fasolka po bretońsku i kisz na placku od tortilli na jutro). Wklepałam te dwa przepisy do Fitatu - powoli, powoli odtwarzam to, co utraciłam.

***

Mój "małż" wrócił wcześniej i jeszcze ubraliśmy choinkę. Żart był taki "ubierzmy w tym roku na przezroczysto"... i co? Całkiem fajnie to wyszło, nie?

Aż sobie cyknęliśmy foto w naszych najlepszych domowych dresach 🤣. Na zdjęciu są też nasze kotki choć Svensona słabo widać.

***

Jutro do roboty na dniówkę, a w Wigilię na nockę. Ze świątecznych dni mam tylko wolne 25 grudnia... No cóż... Ale chciwość przynajmniej będzie zadowolona. Za świąteczne dni są lepsze pieniądze. W sam raz by się odkuć 😉.

Dobrej nocy wam życzę!

31 days of Charlieween next year or 25 days of Charliemas this year?

Aw man, I'm not even sure what I'd do for those. XD ; I probably couldn't even think of 25 Christmas-related things if I tried, lol. Also I'm not sure Charlie entirely grasps what Christmas is, given Laika's from the moon and Tikki's from the ocean, both of which have their own holidays. I think at least until a few years pass, his understanding of it is 'the night when you HAVE to go to sleep or else the Ghosts won't show up to leave presents in a sock for you', and 'the day after when you exchange gifts with family and pals. (Somehow, there is a tree involved?)'

I'm sure at some point he figures it out on his own, but probably still has a lot of questions about it. XD ;

But yea tangent aside, idk maybe I can go find a fun 'draw your oc' challenge or something. Anyone got any recs?

Not a Universe Goes By (18-25/31)

(a series of fic(let)s for The Ted Lasso AU-gust challenge) #18 Childhood

“Happy memories or sad ones?”

Rebecca stares at the two photos plucked out of old albums—her blonde pigtails and Ted’s dimpled grin, each with a football under one arm, their little hands tucked into their respective fathers’.

They each lost theirs, albeit in very different ways, on the exact same day.

An ocean apart, and how many ways do their lives mirror one another? How long have they run parallel? What would have become of them if their paths had never crossed?

But they have crossed, and now they walk together—down memory lane and into the future.

“Both.”

————————————————————–

#19 Horror Movie

The woods were dead quiet.

Even the crack of twigs under his sneakers was swallowed by the thick rolling fog.

She emerged like an apparition of mist and moonlight, silver and pale, with the softest golden lustre to her hair as it shrouded her like a robe, brushing the ground, swaying in the still night.

Their eyes locked—and he knew before she opened her mouth.

He knew heartbreak when he saw it.

Her cry is fatal to him—but even as he draws his last breath in her arms, he thinks there's never been a sound more hauntingly beautiful.

————————————————————–

#20 Roadtrip

Rebecca fucking hates buses.

Perhaps her avoidance of public transport makes her an insufferable snob, but she simply does not care for the jostling, the smells, the unfathomable unpredictability of temperature settings—the whole ordeal is unnerving, thank you very much.

Rebecca hates buses, but she cares deeply about her team, and team's gotta bond.

"Good morning, boys."

The collective cheer resonates in her chest, splits her face into a smile and makes her eyes swim as she stumbles down the aisle amid cheerful greetings, to Ted beaming at her from the very back.

"Hey, Boss. Saved you a seat."

————————————————————–

#21 Underwater

The ocean rushed through her veins, a salty mist gathering in her eyes as she gazed longingly upon it.

And he gazed lovingly upon her, aching from the sacrifice she’d held close to her chest until now. She was so brave, his little mermaid, abandoning her world in pursuit of the love she’d longed for her entire life. She harboured no regret, but he knew—having to choose’d torn her soul apart.

Ted’s world lost its colour, barely bearable anymore even with Rebecca in it.

“It’s my turn now,” he told her, “to try and make a home in yours.”

————————————————————–

#22 Fake Married/Dating

Shameless self-promotion time! I have a festive multi-chapter that fits this trope - we do love Christmas in August in this fandom, right?

Read ‘Tis a Fine Line We Tread, My Dear’ on AO3

————————————————————–

#23 Injured

"R'becca…I love you."

The hospital floor gives way under her for a dozenth time today.

"I see they've given you the good stuff," she stutters, smiling weakly as she fluffs Ted's pillow.

The machines beep with a regularity her heart can only envy, lulling Ted to sleep even as her ribcage is on the brink of breaking open.

"You're high," she whispers, chances a glance at Beard in a plastic chair beside her.

He tilts his head noncommittally.

"Is he not?" she prompts weakly.

Beard's calm reply haunts her more than his silence when he shrugs:

"This time he is."

————————————————————–

#24 Pets

"So how's this shared custody thing working out for you guys?"

"What the fuck do you mean?"

"Come on, babe. The shared calendar with appointments and sleepovers and shit? The sitter on retainer? You've got her whenever Ted's in training, and he takes her during important calls? It's cute as fuck."

"Peanut is not—This isn't—We aren't—Shit."

"Oh, sweetheart," Keeley pats Rebecca’s knee sympathetically before addressing the hyperactive puppy chewing on her finger. "Why don't you come home with me and Uncle Roy tonight? Let your fucking fit, precious, idiot parents figure shit out at last?"

Well, fuck.

————————————————————–

#25 We Used To Be...

We used to be strangers once. Connected. Parallels, mirrors, juxtapositions at every step.

You—too much. Too bright, too eager, too kind. Living ever for others, even as it ate away at your own heart and soul.

Me—not enough. Not light enough, not warm enough, never ever anything enough. So lost to myself and the world I could barely stand my own company.

Until the day we found one another, then found ourselves again, ready at last to walk together as the invisible thread trails after our joined hands.

We're sunshine and rain—a rainbow painted across the sky.
