1/2 And we are at 5x04! And this is where I officially start dying inside: the episode starts with the foursome ‘OH? OKAY! Look at them living their best life. You go boys! 4 years? 4 weeks? brian? Where have you been for the past 4 seasons? THEY FUCKED A COUPLE? Oh these two have it figured out. Nice. See this is what their finale will be: Together fucking couples.’ ‘OKAY WHERE THE FUCK IS HUNTER? Did they just forget about him? Its all about Jenny Rebecca now and no Hunter?’ ‘TED IS GETTING PLASTIC SURGERY? brian sees right through people. (brian says gay men are obsessed with youth and beauty and calls it pathetic) Bri Bri, you wanted to kill yourself because you turned 30.’ And we are at Justin/Mel/Linds scene ‘okay Lindsay this victim act you got going on is so fucking tiring. Yeah, where the fuck is Gus? I don’t know why but something about Justin being with JR is so weird to me. Give him Gus! He’s his step dad dammit!’ ‘HUNTER, HE’S ALIVE! Im glad someone remembers he exists. Look at him being the next Olympic swimmer’ he just saw Loretta/Rosie looking like Deb at the diner and pointed to the screen and yelled ‘IDENTITY THEFT IS NOT A JOKE, ROSIE’ and then went dead silent. And we are now at the Brian/Mikey scene in the comic store ‘why is Mike being a bitch about superheroes party? He’s having a dinner party and wants Brian and Justin there? Sounds boring but at least Justin is invited.’ ‘Wait, Justin is gonna have a gallery show? That’s so fucking cool! Oh for fucks sake Lindsay, cry a fucking river. Not to be a horrible person but this whole victim act she is on needs to be called out by someone. Preferably Brian. Is she for real trying to start another custody battle over Justin?’ And we are back to Britin! ‘Why is Blondie suddenly hung up on other people’s relationships? If they cant make it? Blondie, mel and linds were the worst couple from the beginning. I actually agree with Brian, i hate when couples finish sentences for each othe- look at Blondie mocking him. I love my boys..*he goes dead silent while Brian talks about marriage* is it just me or does he sound very…*waves his cast in the air all awkward* season 1?’ And we are at the dinner with Monty and Eli ‘i was right this dinner is boring as fuck. I cant stand these two. You’re gonna actually tell me that Justin would enjoy them? I’m having war flashbacks to Ethan’s party. (Eli/monty mentions a petition to put in speed bumps) he said that to Brian as if that man cares. As if that man didn’t drive like he wanted to hit every kid in the pilot episode when he dropped off Justin at school. LOOK AT JUSTIN BRAGGING ABOUT HIS MANS JOB! I am living for him not remembering people’s names. Fuck these two. Justin wouldve HATED them, i know that for a fact so i don’t know why hes acting all mannered. Also fuck Mike, what kind of a friend just sits there and watches his best friend get attacked like that by two randoms?! (Brian just gave Mikey the swing gift) *starts laughing* oh fuck all of you that was funny, look up the word humor and add it to your personality because that was good’ And now we are at Hunter’s swim meet ‘i cant believe im agreeing with Ben but hold the fuck up. In front of our friends? And what is Brian? I thought he was your best friend? You’ve only reminded us of that every fucking episode. GO HUNTER! SWIM YOU LIL SHIT! (And the blood/callies parents moment happened) WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCKING SHIT JUST HAPPENED?! I AM GOING TO KILL HER PARENTS! WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCKING SHIT WAS THAT?! FUCK EVERYONE.’ ‘Okay this is gonna sound weird but i swear Mel prefers the baby over Gus. Give gus to Brian and Justin for the night. I want to see how that would go! Why haven’t i gotten that yet?’ And we are back to Britin at babylon ‘i love that Blondie is just randomly visiting his man at work. Would’ve loved it even more at the office but i learned something with this show *looks at me and points at me with his cast* take what they give you cause they hate me for some reason. Why is Michael a topic of conversation with them? Fuck him.’
See this is what their finale will be: Together fucking couples. Cries in Britin.
*he goes dead silent while Brian talks about marriage* is it just me or does he sound very…*waves his cast in the air all awkward* season 1? AGAIN your brother sees it. I do sometimes wonder if as a fandom we just get into these vacuums of opinion that encourage us to see what we want to see (which is valid, art is up for interpretation) and would be completely nonexistent to someone watching for the first time without all the knowledge about the ship and the show. But your brother really sees how the writers erased Brian's growth and revert him to S1.
The comment about the speed bumps is hilarious. He really did drive like he was playing bowling for kids and his Jeep (rip) was the bowling ball.
Also fuck Mike, what kind of a friend just sits there and watches his best friend get attacked like that by two randoms?! MMHMM
That dinner is so awkward and cringe, I can't watch it. The secondhand embarrassment is too much and I die. (Seriously, I close my eyes and plug my ears and sing "la la la" and make my spouse tap me when the scene is over.)

Goodness Gracious – Part 1
Pairing: Bradley ‘Rooster’ Bradshaw x female!reader
Summary: Tom ‘Iceman’ Kazansky, is your father. You’ve grown up in and around TOPGUN your whole life. Everyone who knows you, knows you’re off limits; dating the boss man’s daughter is a disaster waiting to happen. Lucky for you, Rooster is looking to play with fire…and you’re burning hot.
Content Warning: Apart from swearing and a hint of a kiss, I don’t think there’s anything major that I need to warn about before going in. Future parts to this will definitely be 18+
Note: This is gonna be fun hehe / please mind the spelling and grammar mistakes if there are any x (oh and if this actually is read by someone…thank you <3)
Tumblr media
“You better be paying me double for this. I had seriously good plans for tonight.”
You hear Penny’s laughter down the phone, “re-watching old episodes of The Office alone in your room is not what anyone would define ‘good plans’ hunny.”
You roll your eyes, “oh but working at The Hard Deck for the fourth time this week is a good way of spending one’s Friday night?” You’re pulling on your shoes as your mom comes to your bedroom door, mouthing the words ‘hard deck’ inquisitively. You nod and she does the same, blowing you a kiss before carrying on down the hallway. “I am sorry to be calling so last minute, I promise I’ll make it up to you. But you know, I’m surprised you aren’t jumping at the chance to get down here regardless of whether you’re working. Your pilot will be here tonight…” At that, you pause. He probably will be there, like he is most nights.
“He’s not my anything.” Penny just gives you a mumble back and hangs up the phone.
As you head down the stairs, you shout “going down to The Hard Deck to help Penny out, don’t wait up for me”.
Your dad calls back “ok sweetheart, love you, be safe”. You say a final goodbye and close the door on your way out. The balmy air hits your skin as you make the walk over, Penny’s words knocking around your head. My pilot….ha! She has got to be the only person who says that.
You walk through the front doors and are immediately engulfed in the atmosphere that is The Hard Deck. Good music, good drinks and great people. It’s why you never say no to working extra shifts here; it feels like a second home. As you make your way through the small crowds forming at different tables, some of the regulars give you a smile and a wave and you return the same. The jukebox is on and the night is still young, voices and laughter mingling with the music. Penny gives you a quick hug as you join her behind the bar and a knowing look. You respond with a smirk as if to say yeah yeah, this is a lot better than The Office.
You get straight to serving customers, quietly singing along to the music as you do. A quick pause as the song changes and Stevie Wonder’s Superstition comes through the speakers. You cant help but start swaying your hips to the rhythm, a good beat always getting you moving. You’re in your element and starting to draw some attention to yourself, others joining in and singing the words along with you. “When you believe in things you don’t understand, then you suffer, superstition ain’t the way YEAH!”
You swing around to serve the next customer, laughing as you do, and are met with Bradley Bradshaw, grinning like a kid at Christmas.
“I’ll have whatever you’re on” he says, his eyes not leaving mine.
It takes you a second to right yourself, hands shooting out to clench the bar for some type of support. You realise he made a joke and is still looking at you, into you, and waiting for your response. He raises an eyebrow, patient as ever.
You give a quick, breathy laugh and comment “funny” before going to get him a beer. As you do, Penny gives you the look she gives you every night you’re here. One of urgency and knowing and utter frustration. She’s silently screaming JUST GO FOR IT; you know better than to go there. Rooster isn’t a relationship kind of guy and it wouldn’t end well. For him or you. At least that’s what you tell yourself over and over again…
“Hey Rooster” you give a small smile as you hand him the beer.
“You going to be dancing like that all night? If so, I should snag a seat now before they all get taken.” And just like that, the game between you both has already begun. You drop the smile to a deadpan, holding out your hand in response, waiting for him to put the cash into it. When he doesn’t move to get out his wallet and instead continues to stare, you raise your brows, hand still outstretched.
“This one’s on the house Rooster, don’t worry”. You whip your head round to give Penny a bewildering glare as if to say ‘really? But the staring match had just started!’ and are met with a traitorous laugh in response.
Before you can comment on it, you feel rough skin slide over your own, a faint tickling sensation brushing across your fingers. Turning back to Bradley, you find your hand is now in his and he’s dipped his head to kiss your knuckles. His eyes never leave yours as his lips linger a little too long (or not long enough), his breath so warm it causes your spine to tingle. Before you can comprehend what’s happening, he releases you from his soft grip; calloused fingers scraping yours as he lets you go.
“You should come join us for a game when you’re free. You know, if you’re not too busy putting on a show for everyone here?” Bradley nods his head towards the other side of the bar, the rest of your group surrounding a pool table; enthralled in the standoff between Hangman and Coyote. You don’t get a chance to give a snarky response, Bradley’s already making his way back to them. That infuriating grin still plastered on his face. Before turning away, you catch Natasha’s eye and you smile at one another, giving a quick wave. The others notice and do the same, also not missing how pleased Rooster is with himself. You turn away before you start getting the ‘we know what’s up’ looks from them all because, honestly, you can’t be bothered to act unbothered tonight.
They all know, just like Penny (and most likely anyone that spends more than 10 minutes with you both together), that you and Rooster have something more than just flirtation there. But it’s brewing under the surface and has done for a long time. Neither of you have ever taken a step out of the comfortable bubble that is teasing and suggestive looks because you both know what would happen if you do.
Your Father would have a meltdown. Bradley’s time at TOPGUN would be over before he could blink and the tightrope you both precariously walk across would snap and be lost forever. So you both settle for this: making comments and throwing glances at each other whenever you can. It’s better than nothing right? But lately, its been hard to keep those intrusive thoughts of ‘what if?’ out of your head. His presence feels heavier, his stare more piercing, his touch…you don’t want to get started on that.
Penny comes up behind you and says “Go on, play a quick game. I’ve got the bar covered for a minute.”
You narrow your eyes at her for a second before asking “you weren’t actually short for tonight were you?” She just gives you a nonchalant shrug, a quick wink, and goes back to serving. You let out a silent giggle and start walking over to the pool tables.
“So who’s winning?” You slot yourself between Phoenix and Bob, bumping shoulders and observing the game.
“Do you even need to ask, darlin’?” Hangman gives you a wink and that killer smile that gets the girls going.
“No one likes a bragger Bagman” Natasha replies for me.
“No bragging here ma’am, just stating the facts.” He gives a quick chuckle and a wink at you both before continuing the game with a pissed off looking Coyote.
You dare to avert your gaze to Bradley leaning with his back against the wall; finding him not to be watching the game, but you instead. You’re breathing goes a little shallow as you cant help but stare back. What is wrong with you? Usually you can resist taking the bait for a bit longer before having to take a step back, fearful something might actually go down between you two. Right now, you can’t come up with a plausible reason why you should look away tonight.
Before Rooster can question himself, he’s in front of you asking “can I talk to you outside for a sec?” The others look down or away, visibly trying to hide their smiles. You nod a quick yes and start to follow him outside, your heart thumping loudly in your ears.
Outside the breeze is still warm, but you wrap your arms around yourself anyway. Bradley has his back to you, staring out at nothing. Contemplating.
“Are we ever going to do something about this?”
You don’t know how to respond to that. You know you could lie and act like you don’t know what he’s talking about. You also know that it would be pointless. “You know we can’t” was all you could reply. He turns to face you at that, holding your gaze once more. Both of your breathing becomes heavier, struggling to keep it together.
“So if I was to push you up against this wall, right here, right now, and kiss you…you wouldn’t kiss me back?”
He knew that’s not what you meant. Rooster just likes to see how far he can push you. He’s gone too far this time and it’s pissing you off. Two can play that game. As forcefully as you can, you say “no…I wouldn’t.”
That was the final straw for Bradley Bradshaw.
He shoots forward, taking those two monumental strides towards you and grabs your face with both hands. You move as one until your back is up against the side of the bar. Anyone could walk outside and see you. Everything you’ve worked so hard to prevent could be ruined in a second. You can’t seem to think about that right now, or anything else for that matter. Leaving one hand cupping your cheek, he uses the other to stroke his thumb across your lips.
“So soft” he whispers.
Your noses are almost touching and his breath is hot on your face. One little movement forwards and your lips would be on his. You didn’t even realise it until you had moved them, but your hands were on Bradley’s sides; under the Hawaiian shirt but on top of the white vest he wore beneath it. You’re gripping him so tight, he must know you were bluffing before.
“Not so confident now are you y/n?”
You have no response. You just know you don’t want this moment of bliss to shatter and you’re terrified that it will soon.
Bradley crosses the small space that’s between your mouths and ever so slightly brushes his lips against yours. It was enough to set you both on fire. A sigh escapes his lips, like he’s been given water after a year without it. You instinctively try to get his lips on yours again but this time he fully takes a step back, untangling himself from you. That shit-eating grin is back on his face once more.
That little- “Now we have that small issue cleared up, we can finally start acting like adults about this.”
You’re still leaning against the wall, shocked to silence. “Be here tomorrow at 8. I’m taking you out.”
Before you have a chance to accept or decline, Bradley walks back into the bar; cool as a cucumber.
Shit. What have you just started?

The Rookie 4x05 A.C.H.
Let’s start with the “non-Chenford” stuff:
It was fun to see Hodgins (TJ Thyne)! Especially in a role so opposite from his role on Bones!
Nyla and Donovan...now, I’ve wanted them back together pretty much from when he was introduced but, not like this :( I really abhor cheating and I did not like how they left things (especially with that background music they always play during lighter, joking moments). Poor James. Poor Penelope. There are possible spoilers in the pic below (zoomed in from the actor who plays Aaron’s IG stories a couple weeks ago) re how this is going to play out for Nyla (don’t look too close if you’re trying to avoid spoilers)...
Tumblr media
Officer Jan! This is an extra that pops up from time to time (thanks to @westwingwolf​ for helping me solve the mystery of why he looks so familiar) - starting from the pilot. He was “the man talking to Tim at the wedding in the 3x14 promo” and he’s also going to be in 4x07. In 4x05 he was driving the truck for Tim and Nolan’s op and it just made me happy to see him and hear his name lol (it’s actually the actor’s name too)
The Pete/Nolan/Tim/Chastity stuff was fun. I loved how supportive Tim and Nolan were being to Pete (he even got a special “not bad” from Tim!) and how it all tied into the parenthood storyline thread that connected pretty much all of the characters.
Badass Lucy! The Lucy/Tamara/Angela stuff was really great and also funny! We need more of Lucy and her female coworkers - and more of Tamara with other characters besides Lucy! Also - still waiting for Lucy to follow up on making friends with the neighbor her age!
This is of course going to be continued in the Chenford section below, but a moment to touch on the egg freezing: I know some people were not into this topic and found it to come out of nowhere for Lucy. I have to say, as someone close to Lucy’s age, I didn’t find it something so weird for her to be pushed to think about - and the points Tim brought up were valid. While I don’t think Lucy wants to have kids just yet, the show has alluded to the fact that she wants kids in the future, so I think it’s smart of her to go to the consultation.
With that said - I think the deeper issue here is Lucy and her relationship with her mom. “The real cost is my peace of mind, every time my mother asks me when I'm gonna take her grandkids out of the deep freeze.” And I hope the show continues to explore that and that Lucy continues to find support with her found family. It would probably be best for Lucy to find a way to pay for the egg freezing herself so it’s not tied to her mother - or of course, she could always adopt, like Tamara said!
Chenford!
I have seen many opinions - people who loved what we got, people who felt it was forced, people who thing there’s not enough development, etc.
I personally loved what we got! I mean, Chenford was TALKING ABOUT BABIES. The implications were REAL. It was straight out of fanfic!!! (Like seriously the last chapter of my fic also had Lucy asking Tim if he and Isabel ever wanted to have kids so I could not believe my ears when I first watched!!)
This will inevitably lead to fics with Lucy asking Tim to have a baby with her because she’s worried about her eggs getting old - YES?!
Now look, I too sometimes have my doubts about the show writing towards canon Chenford (the fake confession, ‘oh gag’ etc) but then there are MOMENTS LIKE THIS (and episodes like The Bet Part 2 coming up) where it just seems so clear to me - they would not have Tim and Lucy talking about having kids and having all their scenes with kids if they were not building towards something!!
THIS IS FORESHADOWING THREE FUTURE CHENFORD BABIES YOU CANT CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE
side note - when Lucy asks Tim if he thinks he’ll ever have kids there is NO mention of Rachel. and instead of answering her question (about having kids in the future - you’d think this would be relevant about someone he’s currently dating) he answers it in respect to his past with Isabel. This all bodes well for us.
and this will lead me into my last point. i’ve seen people say they want more meaningful moments, that they want them to bring up the hug, etc. i personally don’t think Lucy was really in the right state of mind during that hug for her to think about it being romantic. they will need to build back up to a significant moment that does not have anything else hanging over it. and yes, it can be frustrating to wait. i would like to see some realization/pining/longing (and not just thinly veiled jealously) ASAP. But--
The conversations between Tim and Lucy this ep, to me, were very deep and emotional and meaningful. (I also happen to love anything pregnancy and baby related, and with my WIP I have obviously been thinking about this stuff a lot too.) Lucy talking about her mom, and thinking about having a family in the future. TIM, being so open with her!!! bringing up his parents and his less than stellar childhood yet again, and talking about wanting to have kids with Isabel, the implication being that he doesn’t know if it’s still something that will happen for him but he still very much wants it. Two people who have complicated pasts when it comes to their parents, and in spite of this, yearn for a family of their own. And that gives me all the hope that they WILL have one some day soon. TOGETHER.
The end! Thank you for reading until now - sorry it got so long.

oK SO LIKE EJKKJHRKEJH I CANT FIND THE ASK FOR THE LIFE OF ME BUT IT’s FROM @jango-fettish​ and it said “Imagine sending Blanche nudes when you know he is in a mission briefing. He gets the ping on his holopad and opens it just to quickly see what it is and has to do a double take.”
so ENJOY A DRABBLE KEJHKJH
cc-8352 Commander Blanche // fem!reader
warnings; you send him a nude 
  The debriefing is atrociously boring. Between that and needing to check the hangar every ten kriffing minutes so that Kami and Fuse don’t resort to blowing things up for fun. He grimaces, recollections of their plucky pilot enthusiastically attaching downright banned engine and weapon mods to the sides of the ship last week. It’s still a mystery as to how Kami managed to even find that type of stuff. 
Y’know what, Blanche decides, he doesn’t even want to know.
With a sigh he shifts his weight and straightens his back. Maker—how long does it take for two Jedi to figure out a battle strategy. Hours apparently. General Tavik and Kenobi are notoriously stubborn when it comes to battle strategy—completely different styles of warfare that lead into prickly debates. It’d be amusing to watch if Blanche had got more than a couple hours sleep—right now all it does is tax his own nerves. Rhyssa Tavik’s face is notoriously grim, stony and difficult to read—hell—Blanche still has trouble deciphering her jokes from her regular monotonous timbre. But he’s known her long enough to tell when she’s annoyed. She pulls a strand of dark hair out from her boxer braids, twirls it around her fingers and purses her lips. Her eyes, sharper than a vibroblade cut to Kenobi.   
The low sound of her Coruscanti accent rolls off her tongue. “I am not risking the lives of my men to defend that pass. The rock will crumble from the blaster fire.”
Kenobi pinches the bridge of his nose between his forefinger and thumb. “Rhyssa, I don’t see any—“
General Kenobi’s voice becomes fuzzy as Blanche zones out—unless they need his opinion he and Commander Cody are content to linger in the shadows. Naturally his mind wanders to thoughts of you—his one little solace in the horrors of war. 
He met you in that diner—the only diner willing to serve clones in a five mile radius for free. The same diner his men had hounded him for ages into going with them. Blanche never found it anything special—it’s a typical late night diner, flashing neons, air that smells of salt and grease while the portions of the food could clog a man’s arteries ten times Blanche’s size. At least the caf is decent…among other things…  
The moment Blanch stepped in, jostled between an over enthusiastic Kami and a brooding Void, he spotted you. It struck him strange that you weren’t a server droid—the typical choice for a waiting occupation, but Maker. Blanche gets why this is a clone favorite, second to 79s. Frazzled hair from a long shift, coffee and food stains splattered over your apron as you flit around the network of busy tables and rowdy vods. 
You’re the prettiest thing he’s ever seen.
It doesn’t help that everyone else in the dinner thinks so too.
Yes, ok, maybe it was a bit odd that Blanche made the entire squad stay right up until the end of your shift just to get the chance to sneak in a couple words in—but whatever. It worked. He scored your number, scribbled on a crumbled napkin and he’s been seeing you every chance he gets.     
“Blanche?”
The commander jerks his head up, his cheeks flushing with heat when he finds all eyes are trained on him. He clears his throat and straightens to attention. “Yes, General?”
Tavik waves her hand in dismissal. “You’ve been up for nearly a day—go rest.”
“Are you sure, General? I can—“
“Go.” Tavik orders. “Make sure the rest of your men rest too. Force knows you all need it if we’re going to follow Kenobi’s plan."         
Can’t argue with that. Without a word, Commander Blanche salutes and leaves the briefing room before he hears another one of Kenobi’s irritated quips. Wandering down the sterile space gray halls, his feet carry him to the hangar.  
The members of Sunburst Squadron are all splayed out and over the floor and a couple of cargo crates. Just as Commander Blanche expects—up to no good.          
“What are you doing, Kamikaze?” Blanche says with an exasperated sigh, zeroing in on the head of vibrant red hair. 
Kami’s tongue peaks out in concentration as he aims the rubber band at the back of Bruiser’s head. “Target practice, sir.”
The band launches off Kami’s forefinger and thumb with a snap and hits the middle of Bruiser’s neck. Bruiser whips around with a glare, his meaty hand launching up to rub the red slash the band left behind. “What the fuck, Kami.” 
Kami raises his hands in defense, biting his lip to keep his roguish smile from peaking through. “It was Fuse, big guy. I swear.”
Fuse scowls and jams an elbow into Kami’s ribcage. Kami doubles over with a wheezy chuckle. “Fuck off, you tool.”    
“Shut up, all of you,” Void growls, his body wedged between the apex of two crates to sneak in a well deserved nap. “Don’ make me open m’eyes.”
A litany of blame sprouts between the boys, useless bickering that adds to Blanche’s building headache. He sighs for the thousandth time and drops his head to his vambrace at the little bleep, bleep, bleep of an incoming message. He taps at the little button and fuck-- 
His heart leaps into his throat when his brain catches up to what you’ve sent him. You, spread out over your bed, naked and dipping two of your fingers inside of your wet center. A heated spark of arousal tears down his spine--Maker he needs to exit the holopic before someone--
Blanche’s heartbeat skyrockets as a hand clamps down onto his shoulder. Blanche curses and scrambles to shut off the datapad as Max whistles low in approval. “I always wondered what she looked like under that apron.”
Blanche rushes to shut off the image, snarls at his brother and jabs a armored elbow into Max’s arm. “Shut up.”
Max rolls his eyes and ruffles Blanche’s hair. “Heh--just make sure no one else sees that. I'm sure the boys would love getting their hands on that.”
A dark flush collects in Blanche’s cheeks. Never. Not in a million years. You’re his pretty little waitress.

Tumblr media
“No, I can't leave Monica.” “mom? It's ok, I can stay with grandma and…” “I can't leave” “maybe I'll build a spaceship. I wanna be an aircraft pilot.” “when they were handing out kids they gave her the toughest one. Lieutenant trouble.” Monica wakes up breathing heavily and hearing crashing and people screaming as she makes her way towards the door and walks out. “Excuse me….” “they're all coming back. We don't have the capacity” the doctor tells her
“Excuse me. I'm looking for a patient. In room 104…” she asks a nurse “who, my wife? Do you have a phone?” “no” “i have to call my wife.” she makes her way towards the front desk “watch out” she bumps into a man, they both fall backwards grunting “let me help you. Are you ok? You ok?” “I got him. I got him.” “Are you ok?” she asks as she gets up groaning. She turns to the lady in the front desk.
“Excuse me. I'm looking for a patient in room number 104.” “I don't know what to tell you” she starts looking around her “Monica?” “oh, Dr. Highland, thank god!” “I can't believe it, where did you go?” “well, in her room since she came back from the surgery. I mean, I might have fallen asleep, but no longer than 20 minutes. Dr. Highland, where's my mom?” “your mom, she died honey” “what? No, no, no, no you're mistaken. My mother...the procedure went well. You said so yourself. Clean margins. You’re discharging her today”
“The cancer came back.” “Okay, stop, stop. No youre...my mom is Maria Rambeau. Look it up. I mean look it up. Maria Rambeau.” “Monica, I don't understand what's happening, but you need to listen to me Marian died three years ago.” “three? No. no. no…” “which was two years after you…” “after i what? After what?” “after you disappeared.”
Monica is walking towards big metal doors. She takes out her keycards but it beeps so she tries again but it beeped again “Ma’am? Over here please” she walked over to him smiling “hi, good morning. I work here. And…” “if you did, your badge would work, wouldn't it?” “right um… I have a meeting with…” “hey. You know who this is?” “..this guy” “Captain Monica Rambeau.” “Director Tyler Hayward”
“Acting Director. You haven't aged a day” “and you look old as hell” Tyler chuckles “come on, let's catch you up. It's been three weeks and you're the first to report. Cant say I'm surprised captain.” “How are the numbers for the astronaut training program?” “ Dismal. Lost half my personnel in The Blip and half of those remaining have lost their nerve. The program hasn't been the same since you've been up there, Rambeau. We shifted away from manned missions and refocused on robotics, nanotech, AI. Sentient Weapons, like it says on the door.”
“It also says observation and response on that door, not creation” “worlds not the same as you left it. Space is now full of unexpected threats” “always was full of threats. And allies” “Listen, Monica, I just wanna acknowledge the awkwardness of the situation. I know S.W.O.R.D.'s your home. Your mom built this place from the ground up. You grew up here. You should've been here to help name the replacement.” “you were the obvious choice”
“I was the only choice.” “I wasn't gonna say it. Look, Tyler, you know the job you have to do. I'm here to do mine.” ”Let's get you back out there.” he takes out his keycard and opens the door to his office. “The FBI is in a tizzy over missing persons case up in Jersey…” “missing persons?” “I know. But they have requested use of one of our imaging drones, and I need a chaperone.”
“Tyler, drones usually chaperone me.” “i get it” “look, if this is because of...you don't have to worry about me. I'm good.” “There's no easy way to say this, but you're grounded.” Monica chuckles “you're kidding. For how long? Who whose protocol is this?” “Your mother's. She implemented guidelines in the event vanished personnel ever returned. Look, I know it's a raw deal, but there is one positive takeaway.” “what's that?” “she believed you'd come back. You'd be doing me a big favor with this FBI thing, but if you need more time…”
“No. no. I'm good to go” “excellent. Keep me updated, captain.” Monica finally arrived at Westview “James E. Woo, FBI” “Monica Rambeau, S.W.O.R.D. what's the story here, agent woo?” “I've got a witness setup down the road in Westview, and this morning, it looked like he flew the coop?” “Your missing person is in the witness protection program?”
“I have contacted known associates, relatives…” “and let me guess, none of them have seen him either?” “No. None of them have ever heard of him. Something seemed hanky to me, so I took the first flight out of Oakland to interface with local law enforcement, which is when I encountered a new wrinkle.” “what's that?” “Pardon me, Sheriff. Would you mind repeating your claim about Westview to my colleague here?” “no such place” “you're saying the town of Westview, New Jersey, does not exist?”
“It's what I keep telling your G-man here, but he won't listen.” “I see. and , um, I'm sorry, what town are you from?” “Eastview” “Thank you, Sheriff. I'll reach out if we need any further assistance. I, uh, pulled phone numbers for all the residents. I'm only through the D’s, but so far I got Diddly Squat.” “So you can't reach anyone inside and everyone on the outside has some sort of selective amnesia?”
“This isn't a missing person's case, Captain Rambeau, it's a missing town. Population: 3,892.” “Why haven't you gone inside to investigate?” “Cause it doesn't want me to. You can feel it too, can't you? Nobody's supposed to go in.” Monica walks over to her car and pulls out a drone. “What about you?” “Me? Well, I'm from Bakersfield, originally. Growing up, other kids had Michael Jordan posters on their walls, but I had Eliot Ness.”
“No, no, no, no. I mean, why is it that you have an awareness of Westview? Or me, for that matter? Is it because we are outside of a certain radius, or maybe because we don't have a personal connection?” She looks at the screen but the drone malfunctions. She looks up and it's gone “Wait, where'd it go?” “It was right there.” she walk towards the town but stops as she hears electricity bussing “whoa..”
“What is it?” “some sort of energy field” “Careful, Rambeau. Captain Rambeau! Watch it. Rambeau! Captain Rambeau! Captain Rambeau!” she sticks her hand in and it pulls her in and she disappears.
24 Hours Later
“Hey. What's your field?” “We're not supposed to talk to each other.” “hmm? Boy scout leader. Got it. And you” Darcy asked a woman next to the boy scout leader. “Nuclear biology” “artificial intelligence” “astrophysics. We got the full clown car. It means whatever the threat is, S.W.O.R.D. clearly has no idea what they're dealing with.” “I'm a chemical engineer” “no one cares”
“Alright grab your gear.” Darcy walks around the S.W.O.R.D. camp. “Ms. Lewis?” “Dr.Lewis” “we have your gear set up inside.” the man walks Darcy inside a tent “those drones you're sending in, what kind of data are you getting?” “I'm afraid that is highly classified.” “You can't see anything? FBI, Army. I saw the Air Force Office of Special Investigations out there. Research Lab, Space Command, too. A bona fide, joint, multi-service response. Really looking forward to the commemorative T-shirt. Is there somewhere a lady could get a cup of coffee? You guys look like you might get down with those little pod things. Horrendous for the environment…”
“Make your assessment, please” “whoa… I mean, whoa..” “what are you getting?” “a colossal amount of CMBR” “CM…” “Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation.” “we've been told the radiation is within a safe limit” “uh, it is… for now” “wait what do you mean” Darcy shushes the man “there's are longer wavelength superimposed over the noise here” she looks under the desk and struggles to get something “I got it”
“I need a TV. an old one. Like, not flat.” After a few hours it started raining. “Are you good to go?” Hayward asked an agent “yes, sir” “these sewers will take you straight into town. Try to find anything you can on Rambeau” “copy that” “keep me updated” Hayward says as he walks away. “Director Hayward, between you, me, and the bedpost, I am not confident about this mission.” “Thanks for the feedback, Jimmy. If only my drones were as forthcoming.”
“There's no reason to suspect the perimeter doesn't extend subterraneous.” “There's no reason to suspect it does.” Jimmy sighs “We don't know enough about the nature of the threat to send in another agent when the first is yet to return.” “Someone must really miss you back in Quantico.” “No, sir. Softball season's over, sir.” “what do we have up?” Hayward asked agent Rodriguez “Radar, sonar, infrared” “cycle through. Will someone get me a useful visual, dammit?”
Everyone hears a studio audience laughing in the tent “what is that?” “Can I see you in the kitchen for a moment, sweetheart?” “Who is doing that?” “Who are those people?” “What are you wearing?” “Why are they here?” “Well, it's our anniversary!” “our anniversary of what?” “Well, if you don't know, I'm not going to tell you!” “is that..” “ yeah, it looks like him.” “you move at the speed of sound and i can make a pen float through the air, who needs to abbreviate?”
“Look , I know it's been a crazy few years on this planet, but he's dead, right? Not blipped, dead.” “excellent plan. Where's the tenderizer” “what am I looking at? You? What is that? Where's this coming from?” “out there” “you didn’t answer the back door. For your upside-down cake. oh hi, I” “is it authentic?” “I'm not sure how to answer that” “is it happening in real time? Is it recorded, fabricated?” “I don't know. I don't know. And I don't know” “what do you know?” Hayward said annoyed “My equipment registered an extremely high level of CMBR. That's…”
“Relic radiation dating back to the Big Bang.” “Yeah, entwined was a broadcast frequency. So I had your goons pick me up a sweet vintage TV. And when I plug this bad boy in, voilà, sound and picture.” “Dinner is served” “So you're saying the universe created a sitcom starring two Avengers?” Jimmy asked, confused “It's a working theory” “Get me a transport back to headquarters now. Are we recording this?”
“Never stopped.” Darcy says “I need immediate analysis. Now, people. Let's go!” “He’s a charmer.” “great work” “hey, thanks, maybe I could get that cup of coffee now? Or not. It's cool.” ”Aw” Darcy turns to the screen to see you and Vision kissing “Aw”
“First and foremost, our main objective is to get any intel on Captain Rambeau, but originally, this case was a missing person, so we're going to start there. We've successfully identified two individuals inside the Westview anomaly. Let's keep going.” Jimmy says as he puts two pictures up of you and Vision. “This guest is leaving your home” “yes, thank you for coming” “Mr. and Mrs. Hart. played by Todd and Sharon Davis.”
“Computational forms. And no one can process the data quite like you do, pal.” “Agent Woo” “you're like a walking computer.” “Abilash Tandon is Norm” “Harold Proctor is Jones” “we got Isabel Matsueida cast as Beverly” “John Collins as Herb.” Darcy gasps, dropping her Noodle cup and calls Jimmy over “Really?” “Does she seem okay to you?” “Well, she doesn't appear to be harmed in any way, but that is definitely not the boss lady I met yesterday.”
“So what, deep cover? Monica has to play along?” “With whom? Or else, what? All right. Brass tacks, Dr. Lewis. What are we looking at here? Is it an alternate reality? Time travel? Some cockamamie social experiment?” “It's a sitcom. A 1950s sitcom.” “But why?”
“Hey, man, we're working with the same scarcity of intel. But, listen, I do have an idea. So, you've seen that radio in M/n’s kitchen counter, right? The next time he's washing dishes, which, by my count, happens about once an episode, barf, we'll shoot a signal to that little guy. This transmitter will mimic the frequency of the broadcast, and if my theory is right, allow us to speak directly to her. This is totally gonna work. Don't touch that.”
“Agent Woo.” agent Rodrigues hands Jimmy a folder inside the folder there's a colored image of a retro S.W.O.R.D. drone “Is this from the current episode?” “aired about two minutes ago.” “What is it?” Darcy asks “what does it look like to you?” “like a retro version of a S.W.OR.D. drone?” “bingo” “but how did it change and why” “uh, to go with the production design” “or render it useless”
“why‘d you colorize it?” “I didn't” Darcy heads back to the tent. “Let's get this show on the road. Jimmy, you ready?” Darcy asks through an earpiece. “Ready” “bigger and better every season” “uh, Jimmy, Monica is talking to M/n. she's got a speaking part now.” “what is she saying?” “those jeans are peachy keen” “she likes M/n’s jeans” “we only have a few hours” “M/n’s at some sort of swim club. We've never been here before.”
“Is it the 60’s still?” “uh, uh, M/n’s with another character.” “real person?” “ohh, uh, radio on the side table. start talking.” “M/n. M/n, can you read me over?” “I don't...” “Can he hear me?” “I don't think so, keep trying.” “M/n?” “M/n?” “M/n. Who is doing this to you, M/n? M/n? Can you hear me? I'm here to help” “please give us a…” “pop quiz M/n how does a housewife or in this case househusband get a bloodstain out of white linen?”
“Wait” “what?” “I don't know” “by doing it yourself” “that's weird” “what was?” “Nothing, it's over. Mission failure” “it was worth a try. Good effort, doctor.” “yeah come in”
Both Jimmy and Darcy are watching you and Vision on TV “darling, do you think it's time to..” “call the doctor?” “yeah” “yes, I do dear” “1950s, 1960s, and now the '70s. Why does it keep switching time periods? It can't be purely for my enjoyment, can it?” “I cant believe M/n and Vision are having a baby” “you want any?” Jimmy chuckles
“Heck, I thought about it for sure. A little Jimmy Woo. Get him a tiny little FBI badge. Oh, you... Chip? Sure.” “you're doing great. You're doing great. Look at me. Look at me.” “The jig is up” you scream. After a few minutes you hear the baby cry “hi, oh, he's perfect” “what a twist.” Darcy says as she's tearing up “What? I'm invested” “he was killed by Ultron, wasn't he?” “Did she just say the name Ultron? Has that ever happened before? A reference to our reality.”
“No never” “hey I'll take a shift rocking the babies” “no I think you should leave” “oh, M/n, don't be like that” “who are you?” “M/n” “wow this is different” The Tv cuts and Monica is gone “what happened? Where she go?” “god not again” Darcy replays the footage back “who are you?” “M/n” “there's nothing here. One second, Monica is standing right there, and the next she isn’t. Someone is censoring the broadcast.”
“But where's Rambeau?” they suddenly both hear the alarm “Alert! Boundary has been breached! Alert! Boundary has been breached!”
Inside Westview
“Who are you?” “I don't..” you walk closer to her “who are you?” “M/n i'm just your neighbor.” “Then how did you know about Ultron?” you start to see the familiar red glow around your hands “You're not my neighbor. And you're definitely not my friend. You are a stranger and an outsider. And right now, you are trespassing here. And I want you to leave.”
Your familiar red glow wraps around Monica Sending her back through every wall and fence. You gulp “I… I…” you raise your hands and start to fix the hole on the wall as if it never happened. You walk over to your babies hearing them “M/n?” Vision comes in through the door turning back to his synthezoid form “where is Geraldine?” “oh she left honey. She had to rush home”
You turn around to look at Vision and you gasp making you look down “what? What is it? What's wrong?” Vision asks you concerned “Uh..” you slowly look up at him and see that he looks normal again “we don't have to stay here. We could go wherever we want” Vision tells you “no, we can't. This is our home” you move your hand to crease his cheek and he holds onto your hand “are you use”
“oh, don't worry darling. I have everything under control.” you walk over and grab Tommy “oh hi” you turn to Vision smiling “what should we watch tonight?” you walk over to the sofa, Vision sits next to you. He puts an arm around you.
Outside of Westview
“Monica, are you okay?” “it's M/n. its all M/n”

Can you do a zuko x male reader or gender neutral. It could be about the reader witnessing the agni Kai and watching zuko get banished. The reader tries to go with zuko but zuko doesn’t want the reader to get hurt. Years later they meet at the boiling rock. You can take it from there. I love your writings and I’ll keep supporting you 💕
a/n: oooooh! thank you anonnie!! i appreciate your requests!!!

“oh n/n! zuzu! come play a game with us!”
zuko’s flight or fight reflexes are triggered and he’s ready to DIP
but you r unfortunately intrigued
“oh okay ‘zula! cmon zu!”
cue azula’s smug lil grin

mr zuzu looking real pretty
he just turns red and pulls you up before running away
zuko is like ???? boys are cute especially this one???
you two still remained close after this incident
two lil gays boys who are trying to not crush on e/o
(im sorry the only thing i can think about when i think of zuko is his gay ass lil scream in the prototype pilot episode)
(nigga said wwAHHH)
anyways
azula teased you about zuko speaking out against a general and their dad is angry and you’re like oh shit
suddenly you arent allowed to visit zuko anymore
and you’re like wtf no no let me in
the guards said no
you’re so paranoid too
is he okay?
what fully happened?
soon the agni kai is announced to happen
and you are seated next to iroh and azula
you’re clutching onto your pants as you watch zuko walk into the arena
you really dont want him to get hurt
your eyes widened as you watched zuko’s father walk into the arena and your heart drops
zuko is clearly surprised and frightened
tears are rolling down your cheeks bc you are so so so scared for him
iroh covers your eyes as he looks away when zuko got burned and you could feel your heart break as you listened to his cries of pain
you cried out as iroh pulled you into a hug
you and iroh immediately rushed to the infirmary to get to zuko
you push past those guards and nurses bc you are on a MISSION
aint nobody getting in your way like this bc you will STOMP they asses out
you are not leaving his side
“z-zu are you okay? can you hear me?”
“m-m/n? where are you? i cant see”
zuko is starting to panic due to the fact his left eye is patched close
you hold his hand “i’m right here zu. shh im here”
he’s so overwhelmed too poor baby
“u-uncle? w-where is he?”
“right here zuko.”
you help him sit up and he grabs a mirror immediately
he frowns at his reflection
“you’re still handsome zuko.” you said
iroh pretended to not see that blush that sat on zuko’s cheeks
“i-i’ve been banished, m/n.”
“what?”
“i’m banished from here. the only way i can come back is if i capture the avatar.”
“but he’s been gone for years zuko! let me come with you”
“no! it’ll be too dangerous”
“how? we trained together! grew up together? how is it too dangerous?”
“no m/n! i dont want to lose you!”
“you wont lose me zuko.”
“you dont know that. you arent coming with me.”
you and him went back and forth
after he shaved his hair and was about to board his boat you pulled him away
then you confessed right then and there
i mean you didnt know when you’ll see him again
“i like you zuko. more than a friend”
“what?”
“i like you.”
“are you for real? this isnt a joke right? like azula didn’t put you up to this?”
“no she didnt.”
“oh thank the spirits. i like you too.”

you two hug before iroh calls him over
“i’ll wait for you zuko”
“i’ll try my best.”
and he’s gone
over the years zuko was gone he was so sad
“if i capture the avatar i can come back to the fire nation and m/n”
but clearly the whole LeMmE cAtCh tHe AvAtAr thing was dropped when he got that glow up
(neya said 🦋🦋🦋🦋 whenever they look at zuko cmon NOW.)

“my first girlfriend turned into the moon.”
“that’s rough buddy.”
and sokka’s like you ever dated someone before?

sokka’s like yes my man get your MANS
“okay so we look for my dad, suki and your husband”
“he’s not my husband sokka.”
“..... my dad, suki and your husband”
“omfg shut your trap.”
these pair of himbos finally get inside and are on a MISSION
sokka’s like heheheeh suki time
KAJDJAJDJJSKDJF
zuko’s hopeful that you’re here or at least alive
after sokka and suki have their lil reunion zuko wanders off and asks around
“do you have a prisoner by the name of m/n?”
“why do you ask, newbie?”
“uhhh the warden sent me to him.”
“oh. there.” pointing to a door
zuko has to CONTAIN the excitement and nods before speed walking off
he throws open that door so quickly
you on the other hand is ready to rumble “i TOLD YOU I DONT FUCKING HAVE IT”
zuko just closes the door behind him and takes off his helmet
you’re like hol up wait wait zuko????
and he nods with a big ol grin on his face
you just hug him so fucking tight
maybe there were some tears shed
you pick him up and twirl him around
zuko’s like holy SHIT

“you’re still as handsome as i remember you, zu.”
“so are you, n/n...”

“shut UP sokka”
zuko puts his helmet back on and grabs your hand

“oh shit zuko he’s cute”
“back off”
“im happy with suki relax sir”
zuko is clingy and was hugging you the whole time

On Love
So as you know I made this uquiz with an open-ended question at the end, tell me something about love, and I’ve gotten the most wonderful responses! They range from descriptions of wonderful partners: 
Lauren: oh, how long I went without being myself until I met him and he showed me who I truly was and that my worth was higher than I ever thought was possible
Levi: I love who we are with each other. I love who I am with you. In your company I am me. In your company I am the best of me. The best with the best, I've told you. I wouldn't give you up for anything
Daniel: i fell in love for the first time when i was 17... at the time, i didn’t realize it was the first time, i thought i’d been in love before, a couple times actually, but falling in love at 17 was such a fulfilling experience, it felt so forceful yet so right. it’s when i first truly understood what love was. never before had i felt so understood and so cared for as i did when i was in love with her, and she was in love with me. it’s been nearly 4 years since then, and nearly 3 years since we broke up and stopped talking, and still, i think about her almost every day. i’ve never known anyone like her; to me, she was love itself.
El: oh i’m in love with everyone that i know op!!! especially my girlfriend, of course ,but also my friends and my family and random people on the street and uh
Grace: i’ve met my soulmate and we plan on getting an apartment and marrying after college
A: I’m going to ask the woman I love to marry me and I just wanted to tell someone because I am so excited
Jeremy: you ever have that feeling where basically after years of denying that someone couldnt understand you in a way or love you and then the next thing you know you happen to find that person and its just great from then on out? idk how to explain it anyways I love my boyfriend so much he means the world to me
Lucy: i am so happy i have found the one i love
to descriptions of best friends and favorite people:
Nightbyrd: Love is a hug from an alzheimer's patient who hasn't the foggiest idea who you are, but they know you're worth hugging.
H: I have been doing so much yoga with my roommate recently!! It's a great way to center my mind for an hour
Riv: [platonic] i’ve literally never met anyone who understands me in the way that my best friends do. they’re literally the best people in the whole world and i genuinely don’t know what i’d do without them. i love them with my whole heart
Cillian: when i talk about how much i love my best friend i get so teary eyed because i cant believe that such a genuinely wonderful person wants to speak to me every day - i care for her more than anyone else on this planet
O: my two besties are my sources of happiness and they’re so pretty i would die for them :D
to beautiful quotes:
Kai: "you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on." DARCYYYY PLS MY HEART CANT HANDLW THIS PAIN
Dorian: When the plane went down in San Francisco, I thought of my friend M. He’s obsessed with plane crashes. He memorizes the wrecked metal details, ____the clear cool skies cut by black scars of smoke. Once, while driving, he told me about all the crashes: The one in blue Kentucky, in yellow Iowa. How people go on, and how people don’t. It was almost a year before I learned that his brother was a pilot. I can’t help it, I love the way men love. (accident report in the tall, tall weeds- ada limon, bright dead things)
Adam: every day I think about lemony snicket I will love you if I never see you again I will love you if I see you every Tuesday or however it goes. and it KILLS ME. love only fits in small things
Hero: “Your heart beats in my ribs and mine in yours, and both in God’s… The divine magnet is in you, and my magnet responds.” - Herman Melville to Nathaniel Hawthorne
Mary: "Love is watching someone die."
Alex: "meet me at blue diner, i'll take coffee and talk about nothing baby"
Sparrow: "How dare you love me like you've never known fear?" and "For you, the world," and "Darling, I was born to press my head between your shoulder blades," and "Will you start where I end?"
V: " You want to die for love. You always have. " and "someone will remember us, I say, even in another time" are living rent free in my mind 24/7 and I'm shaking. When will I finally be not the only one falling ?
Sahar K: To love another person is to see the face of god!!!
Miriam: all the love in the world is useless when there is total lack of understanding- kafka
Juls: Don’t you think they are maybe the same? Love and attention
to practices of love:
Leo; i love feeling happy bc somebody that i love is happy and comfortable....like its not about me i just love seeing you smile. we are safe together...idk i just feel it bro
A: I like to think love is leaning on each other during the light or dark days. Its a personal mission of mine to find out who I am and what I want. Yet I never seem to find my place in this world and as I look and look , I realise the only place I can be myself even with or without the efforts to find myself was done on that day or not, I am always tired so shall I lean on you? And you can lean on me as well. I shall be your fig tree and you shall be my favourite willow tree.
L: It's too late at night to be soul searching, but it's a journey we all seem to find ourselves on these days.
Anthi: feeling safe and at home, I guess (also I love frogs)
Julia: ive found that loving someone is like becoming your own thesaurus. you have to find or come up with infinite ways to say, you’re beautiful, or, i love you. it’s a gift
Galexies: ive been writing letters to the person i'd love one day since i was 14. i write them in a little journal usually, but i've been digitizing them into emails and sending them to one account that i'll give to them someday. i'd like to put pictures, but i haven't been outside much recently so theres that. i wonder if they'd like the sunsets i have on file, or if they'd find my cat cute in a bowtie.
Caeles: Love is sharing fruit slices and making someone tea at random
Dundy: Love is sending your friends cursed shit and watching them react in horror
to crushes and potential loves: 
Jess: I have a crush on my roommate. It sucks, but it's also wonderful. I get to be around him all the time when we're at school. we share a life together; it's rather domestic. I think a lot about marrying him and being domestic with him forever. It won't happen, and I'll move on eventually, but I'll be happy with him for as long as I can. I hope you feel loved tonight, because you are. Sleep well.
Aki: I so desperately want to believe that love is fake because I’ve seen what happens when loved ones leave but whenever I start to convince myself that I’ll never love anyone my best friend messages me telling me she loves me. She’s the only person I’ve ever pictured having a future with but love scares me and I don’t really know what to do but I think as long as she’s with me in some way, I’ll be fine
Hi: her her i keep thinking abt her.... gonna see her in 8 days or so i really miss her. its ok if shes never gonna love me like i want her to really being her friend spending time with her makes me the happiest girl on earth.... outsold antidepressants
Kit: this guy i have a crush on has hypnotically dark brown eyes and he's wonderful and shows me kindness like no one else
Juno: my crush has all the stars in his eyes
Mads: When I have the courage to meet my eyes with hers, the world stands still
Be Nice To Me: Look bro I never do these but I am yearning to hold them SO badly right now and someone needs to know it besides me
to the trials of love: 
Pppppp: I just wanna love like from the movies and what I read about.. but everyone tells me that that’s fictional and rare to find in the real world and it sucks bc it seems like all the guys I’ve met are terrible and the norms of society are all about not respecting women and uthdjdjdk
Manny: I have been in love before and I will be again but I’m not now and I miss it
Ok: I don't think I've ever been in love, though I love many people. I am waiting for the day I look at someone and can say, YES. IT'S YOU.
Chloe: idk rn i'm like okay with my love and i'm happy so we'll see i'm just a little cautious rn bc my last partner told me i didn't know how to love
L: love is so fucking complicated I don't even know where to start
Corrin: He’s not real and it worried me that I will never allow myself to live or be loved because I will always be waiting for him
Sean: Good luck it dont exist
Serena: i want 2 b in love :(( </3
13: I don’t know anymore
M: I just really don’t like dealing with it lol
to beloved characters: 
Janaya: I’m madly in love with my comfort and kin character and I hope maybe in the afterlife I can relive a life with him in some sort of dimension
Jhgjdf: when i was a kid i had a crush on ash ketchum from pokemon and id always daydream about being a female pkmn trainer and meeting him and we fall in love
to advice and prose: 
Mikolai: Love is earth, gentle and soft at first flight but upon being broken, drowns you in the dry choking wastes of its consequences...
Thex: Your hands will not go cold without someone to hold them. I am here. I will be here.
Kat: it is the nearest proof to god that i find myself surrounded by people who love in a way that complements so wonderfully the way i love
H: believe in love out of spite believe in love to prove everyone wrong believe in love because you were told not to and we will not do what we’re told anymore believe in love because it’s the strongest act of teenage rebellion we have left believe in love because it’s easier not to and when is easy worth doing? believe in love because everything says otherwise but you are untouchable, you are your own, you are not made by their design believe in love because, perhaps, you are love
Ali: I used to want a kind of love that feels like coming home and now I want nothing more than to be away from home on many different adventures
Em: you dont need to love yourself to accept it from others
to the small, the simple, and the sweet:
Ireal: Poems

Your words are a source of light to me, truly.

Show Me Some Respect
After working for years as a secretary to General Hux aboard the ship, the Finalizer, life could not have been better for you.
That was until Hux informed you that Commander Kylo Ren would be joining you on that ship. Almost immediately, you both resent each other, but after being forced to spend more alone time with him, you begin to wonder, what's so bad about him after all?
Chapter 3: Following Orders
Tension rises between you and Commander Kylo Ren on your short mission to a nearby planet. However, upon returning back to the Finalizer, things begin to change between you and General Hux, and a misunderstanding lands you in hot water.
The minutes bled into hours as you impatiently waited for the stormtroopers to finish handling things on the ground. There was nothing but fire, dust, and absolute chaos visible to your gaze from the cockpit. Yet, you could not have been more bored. Of course, Commander Ren made absolutely no attempt to start any form of conversation. Instead, he sat perfectly mute in his seat, watching the violence conspire down below.
You felt guilty for constantly staring at him. One hand pressed up against the side of your face, supporting your head and neck, just to do nothing but study every part of his body. The way his chest heaved with every slow breath he took was mesmerizing, completely and utterly captivating. You wanted to speak to him, have any sort of communication, but he seemed to despise talking to you, or at the very least, despise hearing your voice. That was the worst part about it all, the mixed signals he constantly threw your way, and how he made you question every little thing.
Commander Ren suddenly engaged the ships thrusters, not giving any sort of explanation or instruction. He shot the shuttle down to the village, carefully maneuvering it over the sand dunes, and through the smog and smoke below. The ship slowly lowered itself onto the course ground below, at the very center of the others.
"You will not leave your seat. Is that understood?" Commander Ren demanded as he headed for the exit of the cockpit. His voice punctured your lungs, stabbing at every part of your soul. It hurt to hear him snap at you, the words rippling off his tongue like small knives, unrelentingly digging into wherever his gaze was placed.
You spun around in your chair, now gazing up at him. "I wasn't planning on it, sir," you responded calmly, trying to not show your obvious hatred for the tone of his voice.
Commander Ren let out another sharp, agitated huff before he stormed out of the cockpit, the door slamming behind him. You couldn't help but stare at the way his cape swayed as he moved, how it would brush over his shoulder with ever alternating step, revealing his broad shoulders and muscular physique. You smacked yourself square in the forehead as more sinful thoughts of the Commander flooded your mind, a small droplet of drool slipping through your lips. Those had to go away, or working aboard the same ship as him was going to become nearly impossible.
It seemed to be hours that you were stuck on board the shuttle, though it was probably only a couple minutes. You kept fidgeting in your seat, staring at the door in hope it would finally open to reveal the Commander, carrying on some prisoner, his breath panting as he carries himself onto the cockpit. His tired and aching body flopping into his seat, chest heaving as he took in any air he could. Your mind fluttered into thoughts of him calling you to him, making you tend to his wounds. The thought of pulling of his shirt to reveal finely chiseled muscles, then reaching for his helmet-
You slapped yourself in the face again, using that as a way to punish yourself for the thoughts and fantasies. It was beyond fucked up that you had such a strong craving for him, when all that came out of your mouth when he was around was berating insults, and the same flew from his own. He even said it himself, he didn't like you. Yet, he too must have a fair amount of pleasurable thoughts that fill his own mind, as he had acted on a few of them before. The only logical solution to stopping those strong emotions was getting away from the Commander, but it didn't look like that would be happening anytime soon.
A horrid hissing sound came from the back of the shuttle, the recognizable sound the door made when they were opened. You jumped out of your seat, running to the doorway and hurriedly opening it to see the two stormtroopers who accompanied you on board, but with no Commander. You looked at them for some answers, but they just shook their heads, pointing towards the cockpit. The fools didn't speak unless spoken to, but you doubted they were trained to answer to the likes of you.
"What?" You whispered, hoping they'd go against protocol just to give you a simple answer.
One of them went to speak, and the other responded by smack him on the back of the head. You rolled your eyes as the two troopers began to beat the ever loving shit out of each other, instead of giving you the smallest amount of answers. "Look," you stated, drawing their attention away from their small quarrel. "I just want to know where the Commander is. Can you give me that much?"
The two looked at one another, giving a nod of reassurance that only that information would be allowed to be stated, but then, a loud, and rather horrifying yell came from outside the ship.
"Uhhh, that would be the Commander," one of the troopers said, the other again smacking him on the back of the head as punishment for confusing to speak to you.
You turned back to the pair, shouting to stop another fight from ensuing. "Why is he so angry?" You demanded, hoping they'd answer that question, since they didn't technically answer the first.
"He didn't find what he wanted," the trooper answered. This time, the one who responded was the usual instigator of the fights. You went to ask the pair of them just one more question, about how much they knew about the Commander. You assumed they had worked with him several times, as they seemed used to the little tantrum he threw outside of the ship, but that would have to wait for another time.
Commander Ren came marching onboard the ship, his lightsaber fully ignited. The flashing, blood curdling sizzle of the electric flame sensing you tumbling back in fear. Upon seeing your reaction, or just you in general, he unsheathed the saber, placing it promptly at his side.
"What are you doing down here?" He demanded, his voice showing a vast amount of rage, more than usual that is. He turned to the troopers who were now dead silent, as if they were statues. "Did you speak to her?" The Commanders asked, reaching again for the saber at his side. You didn't want to hear that horrible sound again, so you were willing to lie for the sake of those two poor troopers. After all, they never would've spoken to you unless you practically begged for it.
"No, sir," you cried out. "They didn't speak to me."
The Commander looked at you, menacingly. Even the slightest glances from him would send shivers down your spine. He walked closer to you, stopping so his chest was inches from your face. His hand lifting up your chin so you were gazing into his jet black mask.
"You aren't a very good liar."
You felt your body go numb. "Commander, I'm not lying."
He reached his hand across your entire jaw, clenching it hard. "March your prissy little ass back to the cockpit."
You gulped, trying not to choke on your own spit. "Yes, Commander," you said as you sprinted away back to your seat.
The ships engine roared as he soared it away from the village, and back in the direction of the Finalizer. You kept thinking about those troopers, and how they probably hated you now. You nearly got their asses whopped just for asking a basic question. Why could the Commander not handle you asking just a simple question? It was for his own safety, he should be thankful you cared enough to see what happened to him.
"Enough," Commander Ren interjected. "You should've never left the cockpit in the first place."
"Commander, why do you keep reading my thoughts?" You asked ferociously.
He paused, clenching his fist so tightly you were afraid he might shatter it. "I don't want to, but you're yelling," he hissed. "I cant ignore it, though I desperately want to."
You rolled your eyes, completely and utterly annoyed by his antics, "I doubt that's the case, sir," you responded. He had no reason to keep searching your mind for every little thing that crossed it, and considering most of the thoughts your mind had been infected with, you didn't want him to.
Silence reigned for the remainder of the flight back to the Finalizer. The second you landed back on the base, the Commander shot up from his seat. The two troopers in the back carted the rebel pilot off of the ship to god knows where. You went to exit the ship and head back  to the control room, when he stuck out his arm, slamming it into the wall, stopping you from continuing your path out of the ship.
"I expect you to follow my orders more strictly next time."
You looked at him in confusion. "There's gonna be a next time?" You asked mournfully.
He huffed at you in rage, furious with the fact you didn't wish to spend any longer with him. He shouldn't have been that shocked, you thought it was pretty obvious as to why. In a fast and violent motion, he ripped his hand away from the wall, marching off to the ships exit. Then, finally, he was gone. You stood there for a moment in utter disbelief.  He should've been happy you didn't want to spend any more time with him, it's not like he enjoyed so much as a second of it.
You walked down through the hallways, passing by large squads of stormtroopers. They looked so rushed and hectic, probably because they faced a majority of the scrutiny passed on by Commander Ren. At least you had Hux, who was usually kind to you, and a very fair leader. They didn't have any one. Not even their Captain, Phasma, showed them an ounce of compassion.
You brushed those thoughts off as best you could, your primary focus to stop the stagnant bleeding of your nose before you entered the control room. You approached the bridge slowly, still wiping away some excess. Before you even fully entered the room, Hux bolted towards you, a pleasurable grin covering his face.
"You're back!" He exclaimed, rushing over to you. He then coughed, acting like it was a mistake that his voice was a bit too cheerful just to greet his secretary, as it would draw suspicion from the people who surrounded you both. You smiled at him, hoping there wasn't leftover nose blood residue on your face.
"How was it?"
"Oh, the mission. Not terrible at all, sir. Quite boring though."
"No," he huffed, "I meant how was it, with Ren."
You gulped, knowing full well you couldn't tell him of every tension filled moments, and the numerous times the Commander had left you bloody and bruised.
"Oh, it wasn't bad," you chuckled. "But, you know him! So serious!"
Hux gave a rather disingenuous grin. You bit your lip in fear, worried he might be onto you, and that maybe he had some hidden mind reading ability like the Commander did. But, Hux was simply just plain old Hux, and he moved on from that awkward discussion with the flick of his trench coat.  He turned back to the scanners, radars, all machines that scattered the control room. His breath was stagnant, almost forced. You watched as a single droplet of sweat pooled down from his forehead, down to his cheek before he abruptly brushed it away.
"General?" You asked. "Is everything alright?"
Hux looked over at your fellow pilots, who were plugging away into the ships database. "The Commander is, awfully frustrated at this moment. I'm sure you know that," he sighed. You shrugged, not quite understanding the difference between Commander Rens' frustration, or his overall anger issues. Hux finally managed to focus his gaze on you, and shifted his eyes towards your blood stained sleeve, staring at it with a completely mortified expression.
You tried to draw away his attention from that, shoving your hand quickly inside of your pocket. "When is he not?" You said playfully, hopefully halting him from asking any questions.
Hux gave you an awkward smile, he was never the type for jokes. "He's obsessed with finding part of a navigational chart that will lead us to Luke Skywalker," Hux said sternly.
"Like, Luke Skywalker the Jedi?!" You questioned far too excitedly.
Hux hushed you, placing his hand over your mouth in an effort to keep you quiet. "I thought the Commander would've told- never mind," he whispered. Nervously, he glanced around the room, surveying to see if anyone else heard what you had said and thankfully no one did. Placing his hands on your shoulders, he pulled you in close, whispering the last few details into your ear, his breath hot and trembling. "Skywalker is the only threat to the First Orders' rule. The Resistances' last hope ," Hux added, staring deeply into your eyes. "If we don't find and destroy him, it would be our end."
Hux continued to gaze into your eyes, like he was studying every part of your face. The tension kept building as he gazed at you so longingly, so intently. "Forgive me," he remarked, not once shifting his view away from your now blushing cheeks. "I thought I'd never see you again." Your heart thumped against your chest, feeling his hands gently press into your collarbones. His eyes glittered with passion, a look he had never given you before. He genuinely looked almost afraid, as if he meant what he said, the fear of never seeing you again.
"Hux-"
A loud, blaring sound rang through your ear, stopping you both dead in your tracks. Hux flinched, pulling himself away from you, and losing that shimmering glow in his eyes. "What is going on?!" He demanded, rushing over to the pilot overseeing the ships security system.
"Sir, an X-Wing flyer has been spotted heading towards a nearby planet. It could be our pilot."
A sinister smile wiped across Huxs' face, so horrific it sent a chill running down the back of your spine. He clenched his jaw, now turning back to the bridges large window overseeing the planet. "I'll alert the Commander. We'll end this now," Hux asserted, turning back towards you, his expression unchanging, until he saw yours.
"Cadet," he stammered. "What is the issue?" Hux and every other member in the bridge were staring at you with mixed emotions in their eyes. Most of them confused, halted until you gave Hux the answer he was desperately searching for. But you didn't know what the issue was, why you were looking upon your General with such fear in your heart. It was an unconscious look, but there had to be some reasoning behind it, an explanation for why that emotion had presented itself in your eyes.
You shook your head, dismissing the gazes of every pair of eyes that look upon you. Hux sighed, somewhat frustrated you hadn't given an explanation for your behavior. He turned back to the pilot, clenching the inner part of his cheek tightly between his pearly white teeth.
"Stand down until my return," Hux ordered the crew members, the tone of smugness high in his voice. He glanced at you one final time before exiting, his eyes showing instability in every corner of his pupils. You knew he was fearing the worst, that you'd be ripped from his clutches once more, and be placed into those of the Commander.
You stood, gazing off at the other members in the bridge, wondering if they held as much panic in their hearts as you did. Hux had left you there with no instructions, and not us much as a little bit of information. He had been so disorganized, so frazzled in his movements, and you knew why.
Hux didn't want you anywhere near Commander Ren for as long as humanly possible. You weren't sure how well that would work, since Hux just laid down and took it every time he was berated and abused by the Commander. You felt guilty, but it was rather hilarious to watch, and hearing Commander Rens' smooth, piercing voice, lash out at anyone while in your presence, it made your body ache with desire.
You smacked yourself in the face, catching the eye of two stormtroopers who were standing beside the doorway. They stared for a moment, then shrugged your behavior off as they continued their pointless conversation. Nervously, you bit your lip, embarrassed you had drawn that unwanted attention to yourself, and bitterly unhappy that your fantasies had not rid themselves from your mind.
It was a constant battle. Trying to maintain your professionalism, and fawning over the Commanders sensational touch. The brief, tension filled moments the two of you had shared controlled your mind, presenting themselves in the worst possible moments. Fantasies fluttered around every time he entered a room you were in, and you regretfully knew he could hear every bit of it. You wanted it to stop so badly, practically begged for it, but they just wouldn't go away. You hated him, despised him for spinning your life on its head, ruining every bit of certainty you had. Everything was so simple before he came along, and now, it was beyond confusing.
"Hello."
You shook yourself out of your entrancement, glancing to the side to see the young pilot, Simon, staring at you with the cutest pair of puppy-dog-eyes you had ever seen. "Oh," you stammered, not quite sure how to respond. "Hello."
"Do you know where Hux went?" He asked curiously, still maintaining a glisten in his eyes. You paused for a moment, losing yourself in his deep blue orbs, mesmerized by their beauty and majesty.
He waved his hand in front of your nose, inches from its tip in an effort to snap you back into focus. You let out a nervous laugh. "My apologies. As far as I know, he's gone to retrieve the Commander, informing him of the possible Resistance pilot." Simon nodded, placing his hand in a questioning manner around around his chin. His eyes scanned the room, almost as if he was looking for something. You stood nervously as his gazed moved from the divots on the floor to your feet, then sweat began to form on your brow as his eyes shifted up to meet yours, studying every inch of your body on the way up.
"Don't you think we should try and stop that ship from heading where it needs to go?"
"Uhm, what?" You hesitated, finding fear in his now cocky and smug expression. His tongue curled around his lips, sliding over his perfect, white teeth as a crooked smile formed upon his face.
"Well, we don't want that ship to get what it's looking for. So why don't we capture it?" He scoffed, now beginning to circle around your body. Your bones grew stiff, and blown ran cold. It was torturous what he was doing. Your legs ached, screaming at you to run, and you wanted to. Wanted to move, get away, do anything to escape. But Hux told you to stay put. You had to follow your orders.
A stagnant breath escape your mouth, not purposefully. You coughed as to try and muffle it, conceal the fear that obviously didn't want to hide. "We aren't permitted to debate this," you replied, hoping to sound as sophisticated and intelligent as possible. "General Hux gave no orders other than for us to stay put. Therefore, that is what we shall do."
"You follow him too blindly."
A lump formed in the back of your throat, almost sending you into a choke. "I-I'm sorry?" You questioned, no longer was there any sophistication in your tone of voice. He shrugged, "look I get it, you don't wanna go against his rules-"
He stepped closer to you, stopping inches from your face. Shivers rode down your spine as he looked you up and down, a sinister grin wiping over his face.
"But just imagine how proud Commander Kylo Ren would be with you."
Your body went numb, stiffening as he pulled away from your face, wickedly smirking as he turned back to the front of the bridge. "If you won't give the order, I will. But, I think it'd look a lot better if you did it."
You turned away from him, biting your lip so hard, blood to pool from where your teeth had sunk in to the flesh. It was unfathomable, how he was able to sense the sneaking desire in your body that you wanted Commander Ren to be proud of you, impressed by your abilities. So far, all he'd seen you as was a bitchy little secretary. But you wanted him to see more than that, more from you. It was terrible, frankly stupid that you wanted him to find you witty, radiant-
Perfect.
"Simon," you finally responded, dispelling the sense of uncertainty from your voice. "With all due respect, though your idea does seem rather brilliant, I will not go against my orders. That is not my job."
He scoffed, clenching his fist tightly at his side. "Fine," he huffed, marching towards the center of the control room. "Then I'll do it."
All eyes in the room were now on the pair of you, most of them searching your own for an explanation. No one understood what was going on, why the quarrel between you and an ex TIE-flyer was taking place in the middle of the bridge. You knew if Simon began barking out orders, no one would listen to him. But there was that worry, that when Hux returned with Commander Ren at his side, they'd both be disgusted with your lack of initiative.
"Well then," Simon proclaimed to the enter staff. "Why aren't we going after that ship?"
The men stationed at the blasters looked at Simon with disgruntled expressions, not showing any signs of following his orders. The two stormtroopers stationed at the entrance scoffed. Those two knew authority, and how a true leader was supposed to behave and act. Simon did not have what it took to lead, or give any sort or directions.
You stepped forward, positioning yourself next to Simon, which drew the attention back from those who had looked away. Though Simon towered over you in physicality, in spirit, and in status, you could've squashed him with the tip of your fingernails.
“Our instructions come from General Hux and Commander Ren," you stated firmly, digging back into those months of public speaking courses you took at the Academy. "I trust that none of you have forgotten that."
Simon rolled his eyes, opening his mouth to speak once more, when suddenly, he was thrown away from you, and into the nearby wall. The wretched sound of his bones smacking against the hard, metal desks and control panels was enough to make you sick. He flopped onto the floor below, and picked his head up weakly, staring first at you, and then shifting his gaze to the doorway, where even his pain filled eyes widened in pure fear.
Slowly, you shifted your body from the front of the bridge, to the entrance. There, standing with a fully extended arm which twitched with such a violent rage, was Commander Ren. Hux stood beside him, looking rather annoyed he had thrown one of the pilots like a rag doll across the room in front of the entire staff.
"Cadet," Hux stated plainly, not sounding like his usual self at all. His tone was more cross, and a lot more stuck up that in usually presented. "What is the meaning of this?"
You gulped. "Uh, sir. There was a debate about whether or not the rebel ship should be destroyed before landing on-"
Before you could finish your explanation, and tell both Hux and the Commander that none of this was your idea, Hux walked slowly, and horrifically intimidatingly towards you. He stopped inches from your face, and rose his hand up to strike you. You winced in fear, as it had been years since he had slapped you in anger. There wasn't anything to do in that moment, for if you tried to stop him, the punishment would only be worse. You stood there, prepared to have the life knocked out of you by his cold, pale hands, but there was nothing.
Too much time had gone by, and you knew when Hux was ready to throw a physically punishment at you, he didn't hold back. You slightly peeled open you eyes, looking up to see Huxs' hand being held back-
By the Commanders'.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you, General," Commander Ren stated, his gloved hand digging into Huxs' weak and feeble wrist. Hux glared at him, ripping his hand away from the Commanders grasp, rubbing it gently. You knew what Hux was feeling in that moment, that pain. A feeling of remorse tried to rush over you, but it was expelled by gratitude. The Commander, as horrid as he was, had stopped Hux from hurting you. Maybe it was because he himself wanted to, but you didn't get that feeling from him. Not this time.
"You can't possibly think she was in the right to give out those orders," Hux hissed, still massaging his flushed hand.  Commander Ren looked at you, an instant pain rushing through your mind. You clenched your eyes tightly, trying to make it hurt less, but thankfully after less than a few seconds, it was gone.
"She did not give out those orders."
A small grin formed on your face. For once, he had read your thoughts when it was most important, when he actually needed to. Hux shuddered, looking at you with an apologetic glance. You knew he felt bad for not listening, and for behaving so differently towards you. The first guess you had was he believed Commander Ren would find him redeemable if he resented you, but that wasn't the case, not anymore.
"The girl is coming with me," Commander Ren ordered, his words so powerful the room practically shook when he spoke.
You went to swallow down the spit coming from your watering mouth, but after that statement, you choked on it instead. The Commander gave you a slight glance, then returned back to Huxs' gaze as you continued to try and muffle your cough.
"Ren, she is my secretary, and she belongs here on the Finalizer. That's been her job-"
"Her job as of right now is to fill in as my secretary," Commander Ren finished after cutting Hux off mid sentence. You couldn't help but hide the excitement on your face, but Hux couldn't help hide his disgust. "I won't be taking that traitor with me."
You looked over to Simon, following the Commanders' and Huxs' gaze. The boy had pulled himself off of the ground, blood seeping from a large gash on his head. He stares into your eyes menacingly, the once glistening blue orbs now pools of darkened misery. You pulled your attention away from him, afraid he might lash out at you. But Commander Rens' unchanging body language showed you if he so much as tried, the next thrown against the metal wall would ensure his death.
"Ren-" Hux begged, trying his best to keep you here with him. He knew he had messed up, showing violence towards you instead of being rational. Deep down, something gnawed at you, saying the Commanders had been waiting for Hux to slip up like he did today.
Then, you would be his and his alone.
"I've made my decision," Commander Ren stated. "She's coming with me."
A warm feeling flooded over your body, the same feeling you got the day Hux picked you to work in the control room of the Finalizer. It felt wrong, to have that strong emotion again, but this time, you were being taken away from Hux. The Commander ushered you to follow closely beside him, and you did as you were told. Hux turned away from the pair of you, looking back to the members of the bridge. You knew that watching you walk away from him with the man he believes you'd resent must've been beyond hard for him. It was hard for you too.
"You'll be back with him soon," Commander Ren assured as the pair of you approached the doors to the landing bay. You didn't respond, as there was nothing to be said. Hux would be stuck on that ship, without you until the Commander placed you back in his care. You didn't understand why this man couldn't just get another secretary. But you knew if he did, you'd despise whoever it was, hate them even.
The doors to the bay opened with a dramatic hissing noise following their unattachment. Troopers were lined up in formation, receiving orders from their Generals. You gazed out at the bay, thinking of how you'd be stepping off this vessel, your home, to be alone in a cockpit with Commandrr Ren for who knows how long.
You weren't ready, he knew you weren't. He could smell the fear and panic off your body every time he inhaled. Yet, he insisted, made a point to keep you near him. Technically, all you were was a fill in, but it felt like you were so much more than that. But that very well just could have been a dream, a made up reality you had created in your mind.
Commander Ren walked past you, heading down the ramp towards the Command shuttle. You stood back, gazing at the way he marched so powerfully, and so assuredly. Every person on that bay stopped dead in their tracks when he went by, not gawking nearly as much as you were. His cape swayed with every step he took, brushing past his shoulders to reveal the smallest outline of his body.
You gulped as he turned back to face you, ushering for you to follow him. The soldiers stationed on the bay looked up at you now, sending a burning sensation across your back, flooding into every part of your trembling body.
This is going to be rough.

Undercover - Chapter 9
Chapter Selection 
I was awakened by Hotch's alarm. I turn around and reach for his phone to turn it off. My headache pounding. It had only been a few hours since we drank. Honestly I was still a little drunk. 
I collapse on him waking him up. "Ughh", I mumble into the crook of his neck. "What is it", That was a dumbass question he knows I'm not a morning person. "Do you really have to ask me that." 
He chuckles, "Yes how would you feel if we took a shower. The hot water would be nice."
I get up and walk into the bathroom and turn on the water. As I'm waiting for the water to heat up I brush my teeth. I feel hands around my waist and lips on my collarbone. 
I look into the mirror and he's standing behind me looking hot even when he first wakes up. 
His head rests on my shoulder then I tug at his hand to get into the shower. I turn him into the water first, he needs it more. I put shampoo into his hair and massage it in. 
"You're good at that", I giggle and then wash it out. "Your turn", he turns me around and washes me. 
We step out of the shower and into the bedroom and I shiver. "Here wear this", He tosses me one of his hoodies. I put it on and I'm met with the smell of mint. 
He gets dressed first and leaves while I get ready. I finish up and walk into the kitchen where he's making breakfast. "Whatcha making?" 
"Pancakes, eggs, and sausage patties. We have a long day ahead of us and this might be the only thing we eat for a while." 
"True, did you start the coffee already." He hands me a cup answering my question.
We talked for a while til we had to leave at 5am for the strip. 
_____________________
When we got there it was 5:45am and Aaron told the pilot that we could leave. The team would be heading down later in the day. I sat on the couch my head resting against the wall. My legs in Aarons lap his hand writing his name up and down my leg. 
"When we get there remember we don't have to hide from the team." The thought brought a smile to my face even though I still didn't want them to know. 
"When we get there, my ass is slamming onto the bed and taken a fucking nap." Aaron chuckled and agreed.
The rest of the fight were spent with small naps and causal conversation. 
We arrived in New York at 7am and it wasn't as busy as it usually is. There was a car waiting for us when we got out the airport and they drove us to the Penthouse. 
Through the street we saw the luxurious building we were staying at. It was 30 stories and our place had two floors. The driver dropped us off and we walked in. 
I put my hand in his and continued walking through the lobby. It had black and white marble floors, a mirror ceiling, gold pillars on the sides with a red carpet going down the center leading to the elevator. 
We walk to the man behind the desk, "Amelia Perez." The man behind the desk began typing into his computer. "You're on the top floor, here's the key card. You need this to use the elevator; It only works for your floor." 
"Thank you, have a nice day." I say while walking away, "You too."
He gives us a smile as we walk into the elevator. The floor numbers slowly rising as we got closer.The doors open and I'm in awe. There are hardwood floors, white walls, a chandelier greeting you once you enter.
Their was a very large balcony with huge glass doors that led outside. With leather sofas and fire pit in center. 
In the living room; white couches, a fire place in front, and one wall is solely for a window. The window extends into the kitchen giving a full view of the city. 
There was a clear view of everything. The sun still rising lighting up the sky with virous colors.
The stairs start from the entrance and go up a wall and the loft extends to the kitchen as well. There is a skylight pointing directly into the living room and another one in the kitchen. 
The loft has a queen size bed, a couch on one wall and a 60 inch tv on the other. The bathroom is black with a single shower and a jacuzzi bathtub. I'm definitely using that later. 
I'm laying down on the couch when I smell something. "What do I smell!", I yell across the room. 
"I'm making food", he yells. "What kind of food, its smells so fucking good" 
"You'll have to see", I didn't wanna get up but I do. Picking myself up off the couch.
I walk into the kitchen and I see tomatoes, eggs, flour, basil. I see him rolling out a dough and making an alfredo sauce with chicken. I gasp; he looks at me and chuckles. "Chicken alfredo?"
He nodded continuing to roll the dough out.
"Are you making your own noodles?" 
"Yes I am." I take a seat on the bar stool watching him. "Well you're just full of surprises aren't you." 
He looks at me and smiles, "You have no idea." I walk behind him and wrap my hand around his waist and kiss his neck. He turns around and nips my cheek.
He finally finishes dinner and we eat. I got a huge bowl almost eating all of it. 
It's 10am when I walk back upstairs and collapse on the bed, falling asleep. I toss and turn until Aaron walks into the room. "Cant sleep?", I groan in response. He sets an alarm for 4:30pm. 
He climbs into bed next to me and pulls me close, his arm snakes around me. I nestle my head into his chest and take a deep breath taking in the smell of his cologne. 
He kisses the top of my head. I feel his warmth and it makes me relaxed. I fall asleep to the sound of his heart beating. Aaron falls asleep to the sound of my steady breathing. 
*beep*beep*beep*beep*
I grumble, "Shut that shit off." Aaron turns off the alarm. "We gotta get up, party is at 6", he says as he nudges me. "Fine", I get up and start getting ready. 
I look through the closet and find a red dress that reaches my calves with a slit up the side that stops at my mid thigh and a pair of red 2 inch heels. 
I throw them on and start to curl my hair loosely. Doing my makeup with a stubble red color lipstick, black eyeliner, and putting on false eyelashes. I get ready in an hour.
I take a step forward walking down the stairs and Aaron looks at me in awe. 
His mouth opens a little, "You look amazing." 
"Thank you, you look great." I say with a smirk. He has his hair set back, wearing a black tuxedo with a bow tie, and black dress shoes. 
He adjusts the Rolex on his wrist. "Take this", he hands me an ear piece to wear for communicating with the rest of the team. "Can you guys hear me?", I ask hoping it works. 
"Yeah we can", the whole team responds. We walk to the door, I put my hands on his bicep going into the elevator.
When we get outside he opens the limo door for me and I climb in with him. 
"Where too" 
"172 Madison Avenue." 
The ride was quiet until Aaron spoke up, "Remember when we get there I'm Christopher Harris, and your Amelia Perez." I nod my head and that's when we get to the party.. 
The driver stops the car, "Thank you." We smile at the driver. 
Hotch opens the door for me and helps me walk out. I grab his hand and he walks me through the lobby. I am approached by the man at the front desk. "Here for the Stalone?"
"Yes sir and which floor is it on?" 
"Top floor." 
I press the top floor and we ride up. The doors open and I notice all the people. He guides me through the crowd, they're all dressed in gowns and suits. 
"Let me guess the bar", I nod eagerly at his words. We get to the bar and he orders us a drink not asking me what I wanted. 
"Do any of you have your eyes on Carmine." I feel a nudge on my right and its Hotch handing me a vodka and coke. 
"How'd you know my drink"
"Lucky guess."
He says while sipping on his scotch. I'm enjoying my conversation while scanning the room searching for Carmine. 
"We have eyes", JJ says into the earpiece. I smile through my words, "Where." 
"Outside in the gazebo, hes guarded by 2 people. You're gonna have to get his attention if you wanna talk to him." Morgan states.
"Well that's just great isn't it, ok follow my lead." I say tugging on Aarons arm.
__________________
I went outside and noticed Carmine was sitting with a few girls and he had two bodyguards in the front.
Hotch was walking behind me when I pushed him back, "Don't fucking touch me asshole." I said loud enough for Carmine to hear; Aaron quickly realized what I was doing. 
"Amelia don't be that way come on give me one more chance and if I mess up again I'll leave you alone", I saw Carmine start to stare at me from the corner of my eye. 
"Fine but talk to me or do that bullshit again and you'll find yourself in the ground." I said sternly and I flipped him off. "Leave me alone, we'll talk later", I walked to the ledge and looked at the skyline. 
Hearing footsteps behind me I turned my head slightly. Got you dumbass. "I noticed the commotion a little while ago, you okay sweetheart?" 
I felt his cold hand on my back. I started to cry, having a tear in my eye when I looked at him. "Yeah I'm okay just pissed off at him. He had the audacity to do that to me, I deserve better."
"Yeah you do. How about you come and sit with me so we can talk a few things over." 
Carmine looks at my neck easily knowing the necklace I'm wearing is worth a few 100 thousand. He sits me down, "After that whole thing, do you have a place you can stay or are you gonna go back home with that asshole." 
"I'll probably go back with him, he might be a dick but he's my boyfriend and it's our place. I'm not gonna leave after one fight."
"So what do you do for a living." 
"I do off shore business." Throwing him a smirk, "If you don't mind my asking. What kind of offshore business." 
"I more or less invest in some privately owned places that do... certain things." He smiles at me while talking into my eyes. The feeling unsettles me making my skin crawl.
He gets up and puts out his hand and looks at me. I grab his hand, "Let's talk about this in private. You can call your boyfriend after we chat", Carmine says with a smirk.
Rossi walks over to Hotch who is sitting at the bar. "Do you see y/n?"
"She was with Carmine outside, they were talking that's all I saw." Morgan looks around from the dance floor with Emily, "We don't see her, she's not outside neither is Carmine." 
Rossi talks into the earpiece, "Garcia I need you to hack the cameras find her now." Garcia searches most of the cameras when she sees me for a few seconds. 
"Second floor far right corner, they're going into a room." 
"Can you get eyes in there", Garcia says no.
I walk into the room following Carmine, he takes a seat on the couch; points telling me to sit. 
"Now I assume you know what my family does for a living", he waits for my answer. 
"I do", he looks at me sternly. 
"How would you like to make some money and invest a little bit", he asks me. I'm just happy he got straight to the point. Maybe this will be over with quicker than I thought. 
"One how much would you like, two maybe i'll think about it", I shrug and look away. 
He had curiosity written all over his face. He speaks up, "I'll give you a call, see how you feel about the arrangement." 
I give him my number, then tells me I could leave. I stand up and walk out through the door and try to find Hotch. 
Garcia spots me on the camera, "She's back and walking towards you Hotch." I see him looking around trying to find me. "Miss me", I walk up to him. 
He looks at me and his face relaxes and he exhales deeply, "Mmm maybe a little". We smile at the comment and he puts a hand on my waist and grabs my hand. "Wanna dance?"
"I'm not the dancing type"
"Well you are tonight." He pulls me to the dance floor. "What'd he say to you in there" 
"Just that we could invest in his little company you know the usual." 
I hear JJ over the mic, "Well that was fast how'd you get him to talk." 
"What can I say? I'm very persuasive", I smirk. Aaron looks into my eyes and turns off our mics. 
"What are you doing", he doesn't say anything. He leans into my ear and whispers. "You were a good girl today maybe I might give you a reward."
My face turns red at the words and he pulls away to look at my reaction. I don't say anything but I give him a kiss on the cheek and I turn the mics back on. 
"Ok babe I'm tired, what do you say we go home", I grab his hand and guide him to the elevator and leave. "You guys stay, behind to track his movements, we are gonna go." 
The team says ok and we get into the car and head back to the penthouse. During the drive we don't say anything. He slides his hand up my leg and places his hand on my thigh. 
I shift a bit and my breathing hitches. He notices and gives my thigh and squeeze then slides in higher up. 
I close my eyes and put my head back against the seat. I felt a sudden cold spot on my leg when I opened my eyes he removed his hand and went to open the door. "Were here", he walked over to my side and guided me out of the car and into the building. 
In the elevator I grab his hand and our fingers intertwine. He smiles but doesnt look at me. 
The doors open and I walk straight upstairs, he goes to follow behind me but I stop him, "You know baby I would really love to fuck but honestly I'm tried." 
He looks at me and chuckles, "Ok princess." He turns around and goes downstairs. I sit on the bed and take off the dress and place it back into the closet. 
I go to take off my bra and there's a sudden relief. I turn on the shower and I smell food but I ignore it. I wash my hair, body, and brush my teeth. 
When I get out of the shower I see the time I was in there for over half an hour. I put on a tight white crop top and some red and black shorts. 
Going down the stairs I noticed Aaron had changed also into some striped pajama pants, he didn't have a shirt on. 
My eyes locked onto his body and I looked him up and down, when my eyes met his there was a smile on his face. 
"Enjoying something", He was holding back a laugh. "Nope nothing, did you make food?" 
I walked over to the couch and turned on a movie. "I did but that's gone now sorry did you want something." 
My stomach grumbled but I wasn't too hungry. 
"Yeah can you get some wine, please and thank you." He walked into the kitchen and grabbed two glasses and poured some wine and gave me a glass. 
"You're welcome", He sat down next to me but I put my legs on his and we started to watch the movie. 
The wine was gone now and we're both a little tipsy. Gradually he would shift on the couch like he was uncomfortable. I nudged him, "Come here." I pulled him up and I opened my legs so he was lying in between them. 
He was moving so his arms were wrapped around my torso and his head was on my chest listening to my breathing. "Better?", he looked at me and hummed
I brought my hands up and put them on his head and started to stroke his hair. His hair was soft and smelled like coconut. 
I noticed he had closed his eyes and was sleeping so I turned off the movie and decided to not wake him up. I set up an alarm and went to sleep. 
I wake to the sound of my alarm; Aaron still laying down on my chest. His breathing is steady, I wrap my arms around him and just hold him. He wakes, sits up, and goes to the bathroom. 
"Well good morning to you too I guess", I mutter but he doesn't hear me. 
My phone starts to ring, "Hey y/n, he already has your number so now we just wait for him to call you guys. You have the day off I guess." JJ said over the phone. I look over at the kitchen and my stomach growls. 
"Ok thanks for the update." From there I hang up the phone and yell out to Aaron 
"Yo!", I don't hear him answer so I yell again. "What!", He finally calls back.
"We have the day off, did you wanna go out or stay in!?", he yells to stay in.
He walks out of the bathroom and into the kitchen for some water. I walk over and sit on one of the stools. 
"So Mr. Chef what's in store today?", his eyes shift over to mine and he chuckles. 
"Well I was thinking something simple like", he pulls out a box of mac and cheese from the cabinet and places it on the counter. 
His phone starts to ring and he steps out of the room. 
I hear shuffling and whisper yelling. I walk over to the door but I don't open it. I hear a quiet stuttering. Then he ends the call and Aaron starts to walk back towards the door.

I love your writing! If requests are still open I would die for a touch starved Din x reader where reader has a hand kink ���. When Din removes his gloves the reader traces his veins with her tongue 👅 . Can lead to smut if you want! Thank you! 🥰
Golden, I am SO sorry this took so long! I worked this past weekend so I wrote a lot in between hours. Hopefully its worth the wait! (I honestly didn’t think it was going to end up this long...) Pairing: Din x Reader Rating: Excplicit Length: 3.8k Warnings: First-Time Din, Touch Starved Din, Slight Hand Kink, Cuddling, No ACTUAL sex, Fingering (MtoF) Summary: It took a splinter to finally see Din’s hands. It Took A Splinter     It was small things at first, you noticed, and only when it was you two in the Razor Crest. It was first the removal of his cape, hung off the back of his pilot chair during long stretches of time in hyperdrive. His boots came next, staying off after a shower and only going back on when he needed to leave the Crest. Soon his armor stayed in his quarters all together and he walked around the hull in his black under clothes. His helmet and gloves always stayed on, though, still hiding all of his integrity and making him out to be nothing more than a shape of a human. It both infuriated and intrigued you, but overall you were happy that he felt comfortable enough to shed the armor and walk freely around his ship.    You were hired on as a temporary caretaker of sorts to watch Grogu while Din made his rounds through bounty pucks and the placement paid well enough that you continued your occupation well past the terms that were set. It didn’t help that the man was of good company either, even if he was more times grumpy than not and The Child had wormed his way into your heart as well. You dared say it was almost family like - the three of you.     It was why you took extra care of both the little womp rat and Din, making sure their clothes were well washed, food was made, and the ship was stocked with the necessities. It was your job and you did it well, something you took extreme pride in. It was a big step up from the ‘bar-maid that you once were’ and had much more security as well. It was why falling in a deep fondness for Din was such a bad idea. Getting attached to a job was never a good thought, yet here you were, spending more and more time lingering next to Din while he did mundane tasks like clean his gun or rewire his ship. Just being next to him made you at ease.     Then there was the fact that you loved watching his hands work along any piece of machinery or metal. What did he look like under it all, you wondered. Was he green like the kid? Maybe pale like an albino? Many nights you spent with your hand beneath the waistband of your pants, imagining what his fingers would feel like against your skin, against your lips and teeth and between your legs.
    “Dank farrik!” Din had cursed, causing you to peek your head around into the cockpit from the adjacent hall where you were busy counting out food rations. Din had been sitting in his chair for the past half hour, hunched over something.  You couldn’t quite tell from your angle what that something was, so you set aside the crate you were rummaging through and came in, wiping your hands down your soft pants.     “You okay?” you ask as you round his chair and immediately you freeze. It looked like Din was trying to remove something from his hand - a hand that was very much bare and not in a glove. In fact, neither of his hands were hidden behind the thick leather and the sight before you was scarred and worn skin. It was a tawny beige color that stretched over thick fingers and with every flex of his hand you could see the shift of tendons and veins beneath. It was such a beautiful sight.     Din looked up to you, the ‘T’ of his visor turning as he gestured briefly in his frustration.          “I have a sliver that I cannot get removed.” He turned his wrist to you to show the irritated red skin that was slightly inflamed in the meat of his hand, just below the thumb. It was in an awkward spot on his dominant hand and you could tell why he was having such a hard time. “It has been there for three days.”     “Do you want me to give it a go?” you sheepishly offer him, extending your hand out for the tweezers he was using to try and pry the sliver out with.  It would be the first time you touched him on purpose and you’re almost positive he knows this too, but after a moment of deliberation he lets out a sigh and hands over the tweezers.     “If you can’t get it out, I’m chopping it off.”     You snort at how dramatic he is and move to try to find an angle that works enough for you to work on him. Not finding one you end up dragging one of the ration crates over for you to sit on in front of him, his chair swiveling to the side to give more room. You offer out your open palm to him and he gives his hand over, gently letting it rest in yours. You swear you can hear your heartbeat against your chest with how nervous you are. His skin is dry and rough beneath your touch, but it was also warm and  human.     “How did you manage this?” you ask in attempt to distract yourself as you begin to work at the edges of skin surrounding the sliver. It was deep and no amount of bending his thumb or squeezing the surrounding flesh was making it budge.     “I got stuck when I brought in the crates. Stray piece of wood that I didn’t see. Went through the glove.” He was curt in his answer and you briefly looked up to see him watching you intently. You move the wrong way and the end of the tweezers plucks a raw bit of skin and Din swears, his other hand coming to curl around your knee in a heavy grip.     “Sorry!” you apologize, flinching away but the hand on your knee slips up to your lower thigh, holding you from moving to far away.     “Don’t. Just...get it out.” Din doesn’t remove his hand, though he does relax his grip a little.     You work on him for another few minutes, trying not to have a complete mental break at the fact that Din was touching you, and failing miserably. You felt sweaty and you kept having to refocus on your task because your mind continued to stray to the way Din was letting his thumb trace along the seam of your pants, probably to comfort himself as you dug away the sensitive skin.     “Alright this just isn’t working, but I have an idea.” you said as you set the tweezers aside. “You’re going to have to trust me on this. I had a friend growing up that swore by this method, okay?”     Din nodded and watched as you brought his hand up to your mouth, lips wrapping around the base of his thumb to create a seal. You sucked in as you dug your bottom teeth into the flesh of his hand and scraped up with them. Pulling away to look, you saw that the sliver moved up a little and couldn’t help but beam up at him.     “I almost got it!” Din’s hand stilled on your thigh as you brought his hand back to your mouth and repeated what you did before and you felt the tiny piece of wood almost instantly push out and stick to your tongue. You grinned as you let go of him and licked the wood onto your hand, showing him the little piece.     “Got it!”     In your triumph you almost missed the cant of the helmet towards you and the way Din shifted, his legs spreading a little wider as he leaned in to cup your cheek. He took hold of your jaw, his thumb brushing along the soft skin there as his other hand slid from your thigh, up to your hip.     “Thank you.” The voice coder made his breaths sound heavy.. You stilled under his touch, eyes dropping as your cheeks heated and you saw his cock hard between his legs. Oh. Your eyes snap back up to the visor as Din moves his thumb across your lower lip and you part them, your tongue easing out to press against the pad of his finger. Din’s grip tightens on your hip as he pushes his thumb further in and you meet it with a gentle press of your tongue.     He hisses as you move, dragging your mouth from his thumb to the crook where his pointer finger met the curve of his hand and you kiss there, then his palm.  You take his hand gently by the wrist and turn it over to kiss the tendons and the dark veins beneath his skin, your tongue tracing along each strand. Din practically whines beneath the touches and you want to do more to praise the skin that he showed you - that he let you taste.     “It’s been so long since I’ve touched someone…” he admits in a low whisper.     “How long?”     You don’t stop the gentle worship of his hand, your lips ghosting over every crease and fold of him, mapping out every little scar and break of skin. These hands have seen so much, taken many lives, and here they were gentle and soft and open for you.     “Since...I was a child.”     Your heart drops because that was not what you had expected. He hadn’t touched anyone for his entire adult life? You didn’t think something like that was even possible but you also didn’t know much about the Mandalorian Creed, either. Were they celibate until marriage, if they even married? You knew Din had touched others in a more violent sense, what with the nature of his profession but you knew what he meant in his admission.  It’s been so long since I’ve touched someone, skin to skin.     You take his hand and guide it down your neck, letting his fingers flex briefly around your throat before you take it lower across your collarbone and down your chest to graze over the mound of your breast. You leave it there and let him linger and explore in his own time.     “It’s okay, Din - “ you squeeze his hand below yours, making him feel your soft flesh in reassurance. “You can touch me.”It was almost as if you undid a leash on him with your permission. He was quick with you and in the next moment he had you hauled into his lap, legs straddling his hips as he all but tore your shirt off, tossing it to the side of the chair. You let out an indignant squawk at his rough handling and you felt embarrassment under the sudden exposure. You moved to cover yourself but Din;s fingers wrapped around your wrists to keep your hands lowered at your sides.     “Please, let me…” he trailed off as he lifted his hands slowly and you noticed they had a slight tremble to them. Long fingers touched just beneath your jaw and trailed down your neck again, the tips warm and teasing. You could feel the hard line of his erection against your thigh and you knew that his touches weren’t all in innocent exploration.     His fingers traced over your collarbones again, twin images in their movements, and they dropped lower across the plane of your chest above your breasts. He smoothed his palms down and over, flush against you before they moved low, each hand taking a breast and weighing them in his cupped palms. The tips of his nails scrape over your nipples and you both watch as the skin puckers beneath the touch. He does it again and tweaks the nub at the end and it makes you gasp, your hands slipping lower to grip Din’s legs.     You wanted to touch him like he was touching you but you didn’t want to risk breaking the moment. So many times have you imagined this, imagined him touching you and it took a damned sliver in his hand to get you here.     “You’re so soft.” Din turns a hand over and lets his knuckles skim along the dip of your waist and the curve of your hip before stroking lightly across your belly, then back again. It was as if he couldn’t get enough of touching you. His fingers linger a bit longer when they dip along the hem of your pants and they slip beneath for a moment before surfacing again. A war waged in his mind and you hoped that the outcome would end up with your pants on the floor.     Din heaved a heavy sigh as his hands slid along your sides and up your back to the base of your skull where he threaded his fingers into your hair. You rocked closer, pressing into his chest as you leaned against him, chin resting on his shoulder. He was content to play with your hair there, his fingers rubbing along your head. You felt like there wasn’t a part of you that he hadn’t touched, above the band of your pants, and yet there was so little of him that you had yourself.     “Din, I want to touch you.” you paused, moving in his lap a little, hips shifting against his thigh in a slow grind, a small mischievous ploy to help get what you wanted. “Please?”     He hummed low in his chest but he didn’t make a move beyond a slight flex of his hands that were now on your shoulders, palms curving across the bend of bone and muscle. You arched into him again, your hips pressing more firmly against his own and your cunt dragged across his length again. Maker, you were wet just from him touching you like this.     “Din -” you began again but stopped when you heard the sound of a wrapper crinkle. You perked up and looked over Din’s shoulder and saw the very tip of one green ear in the next room over.     “Fuck, Din,” You scramble a little at seeing Grogu not ten feet away, and while he was preoccupied with scarfing down ration bars, you didn’t want to chance him seeing you topless on top of his Dad. “The kid.”     You get your shirt back on after getting to your feet and you watch Din adjust himself in his pants as he swivels the chair back around to face the control panel. Grogu looked over from the ration crate he had been plundering and cooed with happiness at finally being given attention. You ran a hand through your hair, composing yourself.     “I’ll get him back to bed,” you say shakily. “He was probably just looking for a snack.” Which he obviously found. You go to pick the kid up but Din stops you by catching your hand.     “Thank you for...that.” The last word was almost a mumble,  as if he was unsure how to explain what just happened between the two of you. You gave his hand a small squeeze.     “I would like to do it again, sometime. Maybe after I get the kid to bed?” It was a bold offer and you toed your luck with giving it up but after Din practically melding his hands into your skin, you thought you didn’t have much more to lose. Din squeezed your hand in return, though.     “I would like that.” ___     It took about an hour to get Grogu back to sleep after he had finished his snack of three ration bars and a concentrated juice pack. The endless stomach of the kid never ceased to amaze you, even after you’ve seen him eat about a dozen frogs on the last planet that you all had been on. When Din came to find you later, you had the kid in your arms, and were edging close to the land of sleep as well. You gave a somnolent smile and pressed a finger to your lips to ‘hush’ Din, even though he had appeared in the doorway without a sound. You set the kid inside his pod and clicked the button to slide the doors shut and waited a moment to see if there would be any fuss from the other side. When none came you sat on the edge of Din’s bed, heaving out a sigh of relief.     “He may be the cutest little cock-block that I have ever encountered in my life,” you jested. Din didn’t move from his stance against the doorway and it made you a little unsure of yourself. Your hands smoothed down your pants to rest on your knees as you contemplated what to do. What did Din think of everything before? Did he regret it now that time and space had been given to the both of you?     While you were with the kid you had reflected back on your actions as well and while you didn’t regret what had happened, you did regret that you didn’t take your time to assure Din that things would be fine between the both of you and that if he wanted to forget that it ever happened, you would act like such. You didn���t want to ruin anything between the two of you.     “It is late. I suppose I should let you get some sleep, too. I’ll pilot for a bit.” When you stood, Din finally spoke.     “Did you mean what you said before? About wanting to ‘do it again sometime’?”     You answered without really thinking, letting your heart lead first before your mind could catch and silence it.     “I did.”     Din’s head tipped and you imagined his eyes closing in thought and you wondered what he was thinking. You hoped it was about touching you again. Maker, you wanted him to touch you again.    “I would like that. Kriff - let me, please.” It sounded like a plea as he closed the distance between both of you, his hands sliding up to cup your face. His gloves were still off and his fingers were warm as they slid against your skin. The cool metal of his helmet dipped against your forehead to rest there as he held you close. It almost felt like a kiss and for all you knew, it was the closest thing you would get to having one with him. When you didn’t pull away Din shifted to press closer.     “Take off your clothes,” he softly whispered. “And lay on the bed.”    The command left you shaky with need and you fell into a gentle movement as you removed your clothing, Din stepping back enough to watch you expose yourself to him. You glanced briefly to the egg pod that Grogu was in and the lights blinked gently to indicate that the little one was still asleep inside. You would have to stay quiet.     Your shirt came first, up and over your head. The cool air of the ship made your skin raise with gooseflesh and Din reached out to touch your arm, thumb rubbing over the prickled flesh. Your chest heaved with heavy breaths as you leaned down to take off your pants and underwear in one go, Din’s hand slipping into your hair as you did. He wasn’t making this any easier.     “On the bed.” It sounded like it was more for himself than you but you moved away from his touch and laid where you were told to, propping yourself up by your elbows as you watched Din move to kneel before you. Awareness sprung to the forefront of your mind and you realized just how very naked you were and it made you blush.     Din was slow, too, as he reached to touch the bone of your ankle and up, his palm curving over your shin to form against your leg. It was so tender, how he touched you, and you reveled in it. His touch slid higher towards the warmth between your legs and you shut your eyes, head tipping back as his knee knocked your legs apart to reveal yourself to him. “Mesh’la,” he muttered, his fingers stopped at your hip as he looked you over. You felt so hot under his gaze even though you couldn’t see anything past the black visor. Arching into his touch you allowed your legs to bend and your hips shift up so he could see all. His hand traveled from your hip to the space just below your belly and his heel dragged across your pubic mound, then further.     He covered you fully at first, his palm curling before his fingers dragged along your outer lips then inner. You canted your hips up into the touch and the very tips of his fingers pressed inside. You moaned out his name before remembering you needed to be quiet and you pressed a hand against your mouth as he explored further up to the first knuckle of one finger.     You were already so slick and open for him and it made it easy for him to slide all the way in and then pull back out to add a second finger. He slowly fucked you with his hand and when he curled his fingers up you had to catch yourself from pitching forward. It was so good - almost enough. You reached down to join his hand and you spread yourself with your fingers, your thumb pressing against your clit.     “Here,” you breathed. “Touch here, too. Steady and slow. Don’t go fast, not yet.”     Din’s thumb flicked up and over and you bucked up again into the touch. His free hand came down on your stomach, pressing your hips back into the mattress as he rubbed small circles on your clit while his fingers remained in you, stretching you full.     “Kriff -that’s so good.” It was a praise that spurred him forward, keeping his thumb pressed down but speeding up to a quicker stroke. Your body arched up despite his hold and you twisted beneath him as you felt the head of your arousal rumble deep. A thin sheen of sweat broke across your skin as Din kept at you, steady and so beautifully dedicated. He listened to your whines and pants of pleasure and adapted to it.     “I’m gonna - fuck…” Your hands twist in the sheets of the bed, your entire being becoming taught as your orgasm builds beneath Din’s hands.     “Cum for me, ad’ika.”     You do, your legs shaking as Din strokes the fire within, along your clit, and through your body’s movements beneath him. He rides your release with you and you know he’s watching it all, his gaze behind the helmet heavy on your flushed skin.     Through your haze you can feel how gentle he is with you, his hand no longer bringing you over the edge but now coaxing you to ride the slope down. He holds you, your leg and your hip, his thumbs peeling over and over against the skin in a gentle worshiping caress. Blinking lazily you turn to him, glance down between his own legs and see the dark patch gathering there and you couldn’t help but smile. He hushes you and moves to cover your body with his own, his weight held up by the frame of his arms.     “Thank you,” Din’s voice is soft through the vocoder.     “Let me -” You reach down between the both of you but Din catches your wrist.     “Not tonight. Let’s just stay like this,” He pauses as you frown a little. “Please,” He adds and you agree, settling beneath the cover of his body in the knowledge that he just wanted to take care of you and take greedy touches of your skin. The warm weight of him sends you in and out of sleep and you twist to settle more comfortably on your side. Din moves with you and lays behind, his body pressed up to every inch of your backside and legs twining with yours.
It was, perhaps, the best way you have fallen asleep in a very long time.

Pairing: Poe Dameron x reader
Prompt: “I’d die for you, and you don’t even realize it!” “Are you crying?”
Warning: angst. Arguing, sad poe
Summery: Poe realizes his feelings for (y/n) after she risks her life on a mission and they get into an argument.
Tumblr media
“Commander, we cant take them.” A pilot’s voices echoed threw the coms before continuing “not with the towers active.” He said before his ship was blown to oblivion. Poe groaned as he watched another pilot fall, he was right of course, with the towers up they weren’t going to make it. The towers were large cannons that were taking out the X-wings like they were nothing. 
“Fall back!” Poe said as an X-Wing flew past his and towards the towers. “(Y/n)!” He yelled as he watched her take out the towers one by one, explosions sounding out as she flew threw them like it was nothing. 
“I got this!” She said back into her Coms as she took down the final few towers. Heading towards the final tower, a green beam shot from it scraping the middle left wing of her fighter. It sent her X-Wing on a spiral that with her skills she quickly recovered from, and finishing off the final tower, out of Poe’s sight.
Poe thought she was gone, thought she wasn’t going to make it when he could no longer see her X-Wing. His mind was racing to find her. His hand came down hitting the wheel on as the pressure behind his eyes built, it built up until tears fell down his face. His cheats was heavy and it felt like he was empty, he never realized he felt this way without her until now. But everything disappeared as soon as her X-Wing came back over the Finalizer and into his view. He felt the heaviness leave his chest and be replaced with an everlasting warmth. It was clear to him now.
When they touched down onto the base she searched for him first, making sure he understood why she did it. The mission was finished and went well once she destroyed the towers, it was like most, things start to get bad so Poe or (y/n) do something to stop it from ending worse. She ran threw the hangar searching for the dark haired man, finding him still in his X-Wing, head on the control panel. She opened the hatch looking at him.
“Poe?” She asked quietly, the hangar was almost empty now that most of the pilots were going to medics or to get a drink. She moved her hand to his back rubbing it. “You okay...”
He sat up and ran his hand over his face, letting out a sigh, he finally looked at her. His eyes were red and watery, his cheeks rosy, he looks wrecked. It broke her heart to see him like this.
“Are you crying?” She asked her voice cracking at the question, he moved to get out of the x-wing, the hangar was empty now leaving just them. She moved around following him as he tried to leave, ignoring her. But she stopped him, standing in front of him her hands on his chest. “Poe wait! Tell me what’s wrong.”
“Why are you so stupid?” He growled out looking at her, pushing her hands away. She was shocked by his words but quickly quipped back.
“If I hadn’t done that, less of us would have came back, Poe...” her voice was still quiet yet he could feel the anger of it.
“I said fall back and you disob-“ he raised his voice but she cut him off.
“We got what we needed didn’t we?!” She said looking him in his red teary eyes. His lip quivered with anger as he thought of something to say.
“That’s not the point!” He yelled back looking at her, she couldn’t stand this, the yelling but she wasn’t about to let it go.
“Then what is it?”
“The point is...” he hesitated before finally breaking out.” I could have lost you!” It almost touched her heart, if he hadn’t continued. “I could have lost my best pilot!”
“So that’s what I am?” She crossed her arms over her chest looking at him the tears starting to prick at her eyes. “Just a pilot?”
He could see his mistake fast, and the pain the riddled her face ruined him. “That’s not what I mea-“
“No I know what you meant, Commander” she said before turning to walk away. “I’m getting a drink...” she started leaving towards the door, the quiet sob she let out made him say it.
“I’d die for you! And you don’t even realize it!” He yelled at her, but his voice gave him away, it wasn’t angry it was hurt, sad, desperate. It reached out to her and stopped her in her tracks as she turned looking at him, the tears on his face all over again.
“You mean everything to me (y/n), and I never realized it until I thought you died today... I can’t loose you.” He slowly walked towards her, running his fingers threw his curly hair as he got closer. Looking down at her, his tongue swiping across his body lip before he spoke.
“It should have been me...”
“Poe...dont..”
“I should have took out the towers, I should have been the one to get clipped not you! If something happened to you I don’t know what I’d do with myself!” His hands came up resting on her shoulders before shaking his head and letting the words tumble out before he could stop them, but he meant every word.
“I love you...” he was quiet, gentle as he spoke. She shook her head and pushed him off.
“You don’t mean that”
“I do-“
“You don’t!” She looked back at him. “You can’t mean that, not right now not ever!” Her words hurt him but he understood, but he needed to push on.
“Why not?...” he moved closer to her, not letting her go this easy.
“Because... because I love you too and I’ve been trying to-“ he shut her up fast, kissing her, his hands falling onto her cheeks as he did so, her hands moved around his neck pulling him closer, her soft finger tips playing with the ends of his greying hair.
When he pulled away he looked into her eyes. “Tell me you don’t want this... because if you don’t I’ll walk away (y/n), but I kn-“
“I want this...”

Pariah - p1
to the stars
Through the murky skies the Phantom dropped, the slightly-rusty frigate rattling through the thick atmosphere. Payas’drahk was a harsh world, wastelands studded with sulfuric pools and geysers fringed by fungal forests that in turn surrounded the densely-packed cityscape. It was not a pretty world, but it sat just off the edge of a major interstellar commerce route, and therefore provided the Yautja a prime bit of real estate to conduct business and trade with the galactic community they otherwise remained rather detached from.
Glowering through the front windshield, The Ghost flicked a few switches to begin the landing procedure, reaching out to communicate with the control grid below. The intercom crackled--a side effect of the gases in the air--and he reached up to pull on his mask before patching into it, just the sight of the orangish-yellow sky making him very aware of how thick the air, even with the ship’s filtration system, had become around him.
“Identify.” The control officer growled.
“Kh’azu-hlau.” He responded, and he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of amusement at the half-muffled curse on the other end.
“You know you aren’t welcome here, Ghost.”
“Until the Primarchs put out an order for my head, I’m free to resupply and refuel here, Officer.” He stated plainly. “Give me a dock.”
More grumbling, then finally a bitter, “Dock twelve. Do not linger, Ghost.”
“Acknowledged.” He replied, punching in the coordinate before getting up and preparing to disembark while his ship handled the landing process. His gear, sleek but well-armored, stood out starkly black on his pale skin, the ghostly hint of the blood running beneath it glowing through in some spots. Kh’azu-hlau wore his tresses long, bound back in a wild flare behind his sharp-crested skull, the silvery tendrils making his silhouette bristle. Through his visor he watched the cargo bay open as the ship settled heavily, engines humming and popping as they powered down. Even with his mask to filter the air he could taste the bitter sulfur, growling irritably as he strode down the ramp with his rucksack hefted over his shoulder.
Two Yautja stood at the end of the dock, Enforcers making sure he brought no trouble. A redundant sort of measure here on Payas’drahk; Yautja could cause trouble regardless of whether they were under special surveillance or stripped of their weapons. And that wasn’t even considering his own unique capabilities. They stopped him, crossing his path with their spears in unison. “Welcome back to Payas’drahk, Ghost.” One of them spoke, the faint flicker behind the visor of his mask indicating he was running scans on him the whole while. “The Dr’kalla will not be pleased with your return.”
“Last I checked, the Dr’kalla clan were not the prime holders of the hub.” He countered, noting the distinct hum of malcontent hidden behind the Enforcer’s brow that told him he was speaking to one of the Dr’kalla even before he noticed the clan mark engraved on his shoulder-piece. “Am I free to go about my business, or will you be delaying me?”
The guard rumbled, his shoulders squaring as if he were considering throwing the challenge out there, but his partner hissed chidingly, stepping back first and motioning for him to do the same. “Be on your way, Kh’azu-hlau. Your ship will be fueled and ready for you soon.”
Thankfully he faced no further interruption, stalking through the market to make his purchases, the hum of drones that ferried supplies to the docks they were being purchased for and the snarling, hissing bickering of the other Yautja making a steady commotion around him. Everyone gave him a wide berth; the merchants eyeing him warily and speaking in quick, curt tones, unwilling to prolong their transactions. The pale-skinned hunter they called The Ghost, who belonged to no clan and followed no Code, was a frightful presence.
Finally he stood off to the side, his head canted downward as he flicked through the different displays in his visor. Ensuring he’d gotten everything he needed; it would be a great pain if he had to return so soon. He felt the approach before he heard it, the prickle of another’s consciousness that was fixing on him, someone familiar.
“M’tendris.” He spoke, the word purring in his throat as he lifted his head, and there she was, tall and strong and glorious as the last time he’d seen her. Maybe moreso; a new trophy adorned her shoulder, the great fanged skull of one of the sulfur-eating beasts from this world. She clattered, her face hidden by her mask, but her mind spoke more than her face ever could; her happiness to see him, her relief at his safety--but something else too, something...fearful, which did not suit a mighty huntress like her. But before he could question her she pulled him away from the sight of the market, into the murky alley between shops where she could press her brow--despite the clank of their masks--to his and purr her affection loudly as she wove her claws into his pale tresses.
And then he felt it, their closeness allowing him to feel more clearly, to sense beyond the touch of their skin as he lifted his claws to her sides, the muscle flexing smoothly beneath his hands. “Are you--?” He pressed his palm flat to her belly and she chuckled, clicking her amusement as she nodded. “Yes, mei-jehdin.”
Kh’azu-hlau said nothing for a moment, collecting his thoughts. Then, “...Is it mine?”
She let out a chastising growl, one hand freeing from his tresses in order to knock her knuckles firmly against the side of his head. “Hulij-bpe, you idiot. Yes, of course it is.”
He growled in dismay at the knock, before chuckling at her. “It’s a good thing I did not delay my visit, then. Still early; do they know?”
“No.” She sighed, finally releasing him in order to step back, tossing her own long tress, inky black tendrils sliding over her shoulders as she regarded him levelly. “But they will soon. The next time someone thinks to scan me…” She trailed off, then shook her head with a growl. “They will know it’s yours. It could arrive looking nothing like you, and they would know.”
“Such is the price of loving me.” He remarked dryly, unable to help but admire her even in the foul murky light of the alleyway. “...You must come with me, then.”
She sighed tensely. But he knew any protest was simply out of habit. She would protest because she had to; it was not fitting of the Code for her to abandon her clan, her family. To bear a Clanless’ child. But he could see the decision had already been made in her mind, likely well before he’d even arrived. “Come with me.” He repeated anyway. If he insisted, then it was not completely on her shoulders. He could be the villain, the dishonorable Clanless who spirited her away--fitting considering his moniker. But not entirely believable, as she was certainly not one to be easily spirited anywhere if she did not damn well please.
Her things were already packed; it was a small matter to get a drone to transport them to the Phantom for him. More concerning was the Enforcer at the dock who was one of her clan, the Dr’kalla. As they paced across the deck to the waiting Phantom, Kha’zu-hlau reluctantly held himself back, allowing M’tendris to take the lead. The Enforcer’s ire was already apparent, his mind humming with aggravation and unease as he witnessed his clanmate--a cousin no less--approaching in the presence of the infamous Ghost. “M’tendris.” He barked. “What are you doing here?”
“I am leaving. And you will not stop me, To-vekh.” She stated curtly. As tall as she was, she positively towered over him; Kha’zu-hlau had to resist the urge to laugh as he watched the Enforcer in all his specially-relegated armor quailing before her. It was glorious, and he mused to himself that were she not already carrying his child, he’d certainly make sure she was later.
“If you leave, they will strike you from the Dr’kalla. You will be labeled Clanless.” The Enforcer warned, but he and his partner stepped back, making no move to stop the pair as they headed for the ship. M’tendris did not flinch and did not look back, striding aboard the ship and taking a seat behind the cockpit where Kha’zu-hlau took his place as pilot. To be Clanless was lonely, he knew that much. Able to live on the edges of Yautja society without ever being embraced by it, supported by it. But it was less lonely now, together aboard the Phantom as they sailed skyward and left the sour planet behind them.
They coasted through the stars, the ship calm and quiet when they retired to his sleeping quarters--THEIR sleeping quarters now, Kha’zu-hlau reasoned. And as they lay together, her skin a deep tan, streaked with red and white markings, and his such a solid pale white with the ghostly hue of his green blood beneath, he lay his hand across her belly and listened quietly, his mandibles tapping gently across her collar as she breathed steadily in her sleep, strong and fierce and soft for him, only him. The child blossoming in her would never know the comfort of a clan, he knew. It was a bitter truth, for a mutant’s child. Would they hate him, for being what he was? Would they hate M’tendris, their mother, for loving him enough to choose him, when there were so many better prospects, surely. His claws traced old symbols gently over her skin, and he pressed his mandibles to the hollow of her throat, a kiss that even in her sleep she rumbled warmly to. There were too many questions, too many unanswerable things to think of. For now, they would sleep, and tomorrow they would plan. And they would be together.

Now we’re getting somewhere :D
For @soniabigcheese for Fandomversary with Gordon and Bedlam.
-o-o-o-
“It’s a trap.”
Gordon was glaring at John’s hologram hanging in the middle of the comms room. All four brothers were arrayed around the holographic diagram of a giant aircraft launch platform. The massive ship hovered in midair somewhere over the Atlantic offering a take off and landing option along with facilities for an audience.
Unfortunately, at some point the landing option had become a crash option and the whole platform was canted at a horrible angle that needed no engineering skills to know was bad.
Very, very bad.
John’s tone was more on edge than usual, but this was a rescue situation, so he was professional. “Gordon, there are a thousand people on that platform, including the entirety of the World Security Council.”
Gordon froze. “Penelope’s father is on that thing?”
“Unfortunately, yes.”
Scott spoke up as Gordon’s expression froze in shock. “What about escape pods.”
“Not functional.”
Virgil frowned. “What do you mean ‘not functional’?”
“It appears they have been disabled.”
Virgil stared at his space brother. “Why?”
John sighed. “The platform was set up for a series of rescue simulations for the launch of the new ‘World Rescue’ initiative. My guess is that they didn’t want anyone panicking and jumping ship mid-display.”
It was Virgil’s turn to be gobsmacked. How could people be so stupid. “Can we re-enable them?”
John’s fingers darted over unseen controls. “Eos is working on it, but the crash caused electrical havoc and several systems have been irreparably damaged.”
“I agree with Gordon. It has to be a trap.” Alan sat in his hover chair glaring at everything. 
Scott sighed. “John, has our help been requested?”
“If you count individuals, I have received five hundred and forty-two calls for International Rescue from persons aboard the stricken craft in the last five minutes.
“Anything from official channels?”
“Not a blip.”
It was strange. Had this been a rescue prior to the last week, they would already be airborne. As it was, they were all staring at Scott as he stood there frowning and assessing the risk.
It only took a moment before Scott’s head came up. “Request permission.”
“FAB.” John didn’t even blink.
The next few moments were some of the longest ever.
But John’s expression told them all they needed to know before he opened his mouth. “Permission denied.”
“What?!” Gordon glared up at his brother even more. “There are a thousand people in danger!”
“Their answer was ‘World Rescue has the situation under control. Your assistance is not required’.”
Virgil stared at the image of the launch platform. One of its massive hoverjets had been disabled when the aircraft had collided with the landing strip.The whole platform was teetering at an angle that was seriously degrading the effectiveness of the remaining three hoverjets. A few more degrees and the entire ship would fall out of the sky. Physics tolerated only so much abuse.
Virgil’s mind supplied the strategy he would take to stabilise the craft, calculations of mass and thrust, how many airjacks he would need to support all that weight. It would be fairly simple to correct that tilt long enough and strong enough for evac craft to land and get everyone off.
But instead of launching and executing that plan, he was standing here watching a GDF flyer attempting to make a landing beside the crashed plane on the damaged airstrip.
“No!” It was out of his mouth without thinking, his hand held up as if he could grab the hologram and stop the idiots from doing the ultimately stupid.
But he couldn’t. Instead he got to watch as the platform tilted even further, the three remaining hoverjets desperately trying to compensate causing a structural twist in the landing strip’s frame it was not designed to take.
Virgil’s engineering brain supplied the very moment it would snap and it did.
He sucked in a breath as the damaged strip broke and folded almost ninety degrees with the force of gravity, the platform’s whole frame shuddering as it collided with the superstructure.
The GDF flyer flipped and a wing caught in the warped framework. Fortunately. It was the only thing preventing the craft from plummeting to the ground.
The crashed plane shifted, but appeared fused to the platform and didn’t fall either.
A single flailing figure did.
“What the hell were they thinking?” It was a breath exhaled by Scott, his blue eyes staring at the hologram in horror.
“I say we launch.” Virgil made the decision without hesitation.
Those blue eyes latched onto him. “Virgil? It has all the signs of a set up.”
“There’s a thousand people in danger.” He flung a hand at the hologram. “They need our help.”
“We’d be breaking a direct order.”
“It was a stupid ass order.” Gordon glared at Scott. 
The commander looked up at his space brother. “Any change?”
“None official, however I have received another three hundred and thirty-two calls for help, and counting. This appears genuine.”
“Why are we waiting?” Virgil was on edge. “We need to get out there.”
“And I need to make sure I’m making the right decision for all of us.”
“People are in danger. There is no question.”
“Virgil...” But he could see his brother’s dilemma. It was a thousand people versus his family. Because yes, by defying the GDF, this could end everything they had worked for. IR could be shut down. Hell, they could all go to prison.
“If we don’t respond, we will be betraying ourselves.” Virgil eyed the platform as it teetered. “We need to get out there. They need us. We can’t stand by and let those people die.”
Not again.
A fire flickered in his brother’s eyes.
“Scott-“
The commander held up his hand. “Are we all in agreement? Are you aware of the risks?”
Five nods.
Blue eyes lit up with flame.
“Okay then...Thunderbirds are go.”
-o-o-o-
Virgil’s feet hit the deck plates of Two with a reassuring thud. He shoved the overhead hatch closed and revelled in the use of muscles deprived of real work over the last few days.
Slipping into his pilot’s seat gave him such a rush of ‘rightness’ he almost sighed. Behind him, Gordon surfaced through the bottom hatch, no doubt fiddling with his uniform like he always did.
“Alan’s angry.”
Virgil ran through pre-flight with ease, his mental check list ticking of items automatically as his bird began her spin and the great door opened to let the sunlight in.
God, this just felt right! This is where he was supposed to be.
He engaged her warm up sequence as Gordon slipped into his co-pilot’s seat and Virgil found himself obliged to answer. “I don’t blame him. This is an important rescue.” Two’s engines hummed up to readiness and he began her taxi out.
“Do you think it is a trap?”
His bones sung with her thrum. A flick of his wrist and the palm trees on the runway gave way.
The sun was bright this morning.
“I don’t know, Gordon. All I know is that people are in danger. That is where we step in.”
“But what if we step into shit?”
Two slid onto her launch platform and he engaged the hydraulics that lifted her nose towards the sky. He sighed. “Then we go into hell knowing we are doing it for the right reasons.”
Gordon turned away and looked up through the front windows into the blue.
Virgil engaged Two’s rear thrusters and his ‘bird roared into the sky.
