[rurutts]

Really miss reading mid to long Fanfics but I feel like I've reached the end with all my fave fandoms/ships ugh

Does anyone else get this lol

Maybe my interests are too niche or smthing but I swear I've read everything 😭

[callmemana]

You know what’s kinda funny to me, how people say they hate or dislike country music because it’s only about a guy losing a girlfriend or wife and drinking his sorrows away.

But if you listen to some of the older songs it’s more than that. They tell stories about soldiers who didn’t make it, missing an opportunity, a baby being born and how they changed the parents’ lives, mental health, abuse, death, the way your view on love changes as you age, disabilities, battles, how the good book can help you find a higher power, ghosts.

The people who are saying that they don’t like country music are probably only listening to the newer artists, not taking the time to go back and see the older generation and hear the stories they have to tell.

If you’re interested I can add a few songs to listen to! 🥰🤟🏻

I love the spectrum of how daddy issues present among people in fandom when it comes to older male characters

like theres the people who find them really hot and attractive and like thirst over them

and then theres the people like me who will immediately latch onto them as a parental figure, just staring at the screen going "you're my dad now"

and then the people who will put them through the horrors™ and the people who put them through the horrors can fall into one of the previous categories too or they're just in their own category

and obviously theres more but its so interesting to see how we all reacts in such different ways.

if anyone wants to use this post as an excuse to share your fav middle aged man characters feel free btw im always looking for new fictional dads

2023 BEST READS

A few days late but hey, better late than never! This is a non-comprehensive list of my favorite fics that I’ve read in 2023! Criteria for a fic to be included on this list are:

I read the fic in 2023

I reread the fic at least once

I can rate 5/5 stars without hesitation

The fics are organized by fandom but otherwise are in no particular order.

BATMAN

New Wave by yellow_caballero Batman (gen), 103k, Reverse Robins, Stephanie Brown is Robin Some lunatic in a bat costume is running around Gotham clowning on fools, but local delinquent Stephanie Brown has way bigger problems. When her father and friends start joining mob wars Steph knows she has to do something about it before Gotham collapses. If that means joining up with rich dudes playing dress up, pasty nerds with hacking and photography habits, and throwing on a costume herself, then that’s just what she’ll have to do. Even if Batman works alone. She’s convincing. In which Stephanie Brown rocks the radical nineties and becomes the first Robin, ruining Batman’s life and giving Tim Drake a hobby.

birdsong by ScarlettSwordMoon Nightwing (gen), 22k, Dick Grayson-Centric After getting a face full of Scarecrow’s newest toxin, Dick isn’t haunted by his typical nightmares. No. This one has little green pixie boots. AKA Batman: Ego but make it Robin. Nightwing 60th Anniversary Bingo: Drugs & Toxins

Keep Your Head, Your Backbone, and Your Heart by MrMich Batman (gen) 54k, Dimension Travel, Duke Thomas-centric The last thing that Duke expected on what was supposed to be just a regular patrol was being suddenly thrown five years into the past, coming face to face with a darker, more violent Batman than the one he knew, a broken family, and a Tim who was a foot shorter than Duke, and not even Robin yet.

Loading and Aspect Ratio by JUBE514 Batman (Superbat), 45k, Wings AU A world where nobody has wings, but people think they do, and that changes everything.

Our Bodies & Other Fine Machines by SilverSkiesAtMidnight Batman (gen), 13k, Starvation He has never argued with a punishment, not since he was a toddler, if then. Surely she’ll listen, surely she’ll see this is too harsh, that he wouldn’t be disrespecting her like this if he was simply sulking over not getting his way. He needs that food, needs to be able to eat enough if he wants to be Robin. He’s been hungry before, but back then, it never mattered if he was a little weak or dizzy. It never risked his life or the life of his partner when he was a kid. She turns, sighing softly and pursing her lips. She reaches out to pat his cheek, and for a moment his heart soars hopefully, and he barely restrains himself from leaning into the rare bit of contact and soaking up his mother’s touch. “Oh, Timothy,” she tuts. “This is for the best. And honestly, I think it’s wise for you to cut down a bit on the snacks. I’d hate to have to listen to anyone tittering at the next gala that you’re getting chubby.” And without another backwards glance, she turns and heads upstairs, leaving Tim alone and frozen at the bottom of the steps.

You, Me, and the Humanity in Between by JUBE514 Batman (gen), 65k, Non-Human Robins Bruce is trying his best to protect the city that he loves. He doesn't know how exactly his Robins came to be- they're not fully human, not even at all. All he knows is that he wants to keep them safe.

Little Red by destiny919 Batman: Under the Red Hood (gen), 39k, Series, Jason is Tim’s Parent AU where Tim is younger and has been illegally adopted by his hero, the Red Hood.

A Different Game by Hinn_Raven Batman (multi), 62k, Red Hood!Stephanie Brown, Role Reversal Stephanie Brown died with a mouth full of blood and her eyes wide open, staring at the locked door, hoping still for a miracle, for a rescue. She died in a hidden place, still hanging from the ceiling by her wrists, bleeding out from a wound in her stomach, and no one was with her when her heart gave its last beat. AU where Stephanie Brown dies as Robin and becomes the Red Hood.

bad news, this place is magic as fuck by mikkal Batman (gen), 28k, All-Caste Jason Todd, Magic Jason Jason's on the trail of a killer who's targeting kids in Crime Alley for an unknown magical ritual. Between that and his family who insists on butting in, he's got his work cut out for him. But, as they say, nothing is as it seems.

Wings over Gotham by icarus_chained Batman, DC (gen), 190k, No Man’s Land, Independent Gotham An AU where an altered version of No Man’s Land happened while Bruce was in his late teens/early twenties, and Batman was born in the hellish crucible of a trapped city that was left for dead and then violently retaken. Gotham may pretend to run by mainlander rules for the sake of those who would have died otherwise, but under the surface, Bruce, Jim, Leslie, Ivy and Oswald and their pack keep their own council, and look with jaundiced eyes on the mainland.

A Meditation on Railroading by eggmacguffin Batman (gen), 24k, Hurt/Comfort When he ends up ditched in Atlanta after a fight with his dad, Tim decides to do the only sensible thing: Tell no one and make the 800 mile journey back to Gotham on his own. Because the "call Batman when you're in trouble" rule only applies when he's Robin, right?

THE BATMAN (2022)

I’m a Good Pretender by shipNslash The Batman (2022) (gen), 40k, Dick Grayson-Centric Dick’s mother raised her son to be a star. Dick’s father raised his son to be an athlete. Bruce's new ward is charming (manipulative), dedicated (obsessive), and way, way too smart for either of their own good.

In This or Any Other Universe by wildsofmarch The Batman (2022) (gen), 33k, Dimension Travel There was a new vigilante in his city: a man who smiled too much and talked too loud and knew his way around a fight a little too well. Bruce wasn't bothered by his antics. Except the man also seemed to know a little too much about him. Who was this Nightwing, anyway? OR: Dick Grayson (DCU) accidentally lands himself in Battinson’s Gotham.

DC LEGENDS OF TOMORRW

Countless Roads by nirejseki Arrowverse, DC Legends of Tomorrow (Mick Rory/Leonard Snart), 231k, Medium Leonard Snart, AU-Ghosts Due to a family curse (which some call a gift), Leonard Snart has more life than he knows what to do with – and that gives him the ability to see, speak to, and even share with the various ghosts that are always surrounding him. Sure, said curse also means he’s going to die sooner rather than later, just like his mother, but in the meantime Len has no intention of letting superheroes, time travelers, a surprisingly charming pyromaniac, and a lot of ghosts get in the way of him having a nice, successful career as a professional thief.

Straight On Till Morning by nirejeski Arrowverse, DC Legends of Tomorrow (Sara Lance/Mick Rory/Leonard Snart), 17k, Time Pirates Left alone in the Refuge, Mick and Sara decide they're going to be proactive about their fate. They end up becoming time pirates. Because of course they do.

THE WITCHER

A Beginners Guide to Exploiting the Kaedweni Tax Code For Fun and Profit by Heronfem The Witcher (Aiden/Lambert), 190k, WIP, AU-Modern Setting, AU-College/University Aiden Kett and Lambert Wilkson accidentally get married, and this is honestly probably the least of their problems.

By the Broken Lock That Freed Me by inexplicifics The Witcher, (muti), 46k, AU-Daemons, Accidental Warlord Series Aiden takes a contract on the Duke of Velen. He's not expecting the most interesting part of the whole affair to be meeting the duke's betrothed. His daemon thinks they should keep her. Aiden's not sure how that will work, given that he's already got a Wolf and doesn't know how Lambert and his daemon might feel about adding someone else to their little pack, but it's awfully tempting. And Cats aren't very good at resisting temptation.

Intent by tnico The Witcher (Aiden/Lambert), 18k, Non-Traditional A/B/O, 5+1 "You think I don't know what you're after?" Lambert accuses. "Well, I'd certainly hope you do, by this point in the evening," Aiden (so he says) agrees in a convincingly genial tone. It'd probably be enough to fool someone else on the matter of genuine interest.

SPIDERVERSE

gonna crack a rib (when i get home) by eneliii Spiderverse (gen), 40k, Cannon Divergence Miles Morales, recently landed in Earth 42, has had enough of everyone’s shit and he’s going to save his dad or so help him he’ll lose his mind. Miles Morales 42, just wants to know what the /hell/ is up with his doppelgänger.

MCU

The Hero's Journey; or: What Jasper Sitwell Did Last Summer by pagination MCU, Welcome to Night Vale (multi), 23k, Crossover The thing is, when an agent reaches clearance level five, it’s because they’re valuable, capable of something an exponentially diminishing few can offer in the ranks of SHIELD. Clint Barton, his personal issues notwithstanding, is unstoppable behind a scope. Jim Woo is an analyst and extractor par excellence. Melinda May has infiltrated half the presidential offices of Asia, and Phil Coulson has an instinct for the unusual that could be the basis of an entire TV show. Jasper’s less certain what he brings to the party.

If I Knew You Were Coming I'd've Baked a Cake by OddityBoddity MCU, Hawkeye (gen), 27k, Baking They’re the broken ones. That’s what Clint figures the rest think about him and Barnes. Clint with his eardrums trashed, Barnes with a regiment’s worth of trauma and a psychotic cybernetic arm, put in the same room and told to make nice while the others get to go on missions and do important things and save the world. Well they're not broken. So of course they got bored and tired of being sidelined and decided to entertain themselves. And of course they ended up wanted, running through the streets of Paris with bananas down their pants and gendarmes in pursuit. Of course they did.

[kindlingandhawthorn]

beta reader? discord?

I'm looking for a beta reader for the first time in probably 20 years... or maybe a discord community to toss ideas back and forth with...

I'm currently writing explicit (bdsm/kink, abo, dub-con/non-con recovery) fic. This IS a new psued (not someone new to the internet/fandom/etc.) and that's because I don't really want to cross the streams as it were, between this fiction and the rest of my digital footprint.

I have a ton of momentum behind me right now in the form of 50k words of Justified kink (ha!) in one series (I already posted part 1), another ~50k of Justified ABO, as well as the start of four more Jacob Pitts-centric fics (fandoms include Justified, The Pacific, and one very bizarre Sinner-influenced prostitute AU- I don't even know, guys)

So... if you're interested in beta reading, know someone who is, know of a discord (and maybe don't mind coaching someone through joining a discord for the first time?) or are just willing to signal boost, I'd be grateful.

Tagging this with applicable fandoms and pairings. ALL of which I seem to be showing up to 10-15 years late with Starbucks.

send a ♠ for a mun fact

My first concert was when I was 3, and it was the Crawfish Festival in Biloxi, MS. It was the Charlie Daniels band, and my dad- after the concert was over- ran with me on his shoulders to track down Charlie Daniels, and used me to get an autograph from him. I still have the hat in storage. My most recent concert was '22 in St. Louis, seeing TØP, and my next concert is seeing Greta Van Fleet in a month for the first time.

Two amazing photo edits by Tim Buckle for proposed pre-Hartnell "Morbius Doctors."

The first is based on Doctor Who's original producer, Verity Lambert:

The second is based on the series' first director, Waris Hussein:

I am very tempted to write some fanfic for these incarnations!

[iamfitzwilliamdarcy]

i'll just share the part:

Instead, he strides over and picks up a roller.  Tim raises his eyebrows at him. “In that suit, B, really?” “I’m not helping,” Bruce says. “I’m checking the quality.” “You’re not even ISO certified,” Tim says, rolling his eyes. “Gordon Brush is.” “WE is,” Bruce points out. “Yeah, because I spearheaded the efforts to ensure we were up-to-date with 2015 after somebody got lost in time,” Tim says hotly. 

(i don't really think a CEO would be doing that but I thought it was funny 🤷‍♀️)

one day i'll share the fic i wrote where Tim talks ISO certification w/ Bruce one day

so hungry I could eat…

feat. characters from The Rookie, Insidious, DC comics, Marvel, Transformers, Vicious, Six of Crows, Ninth House/Hell Bent, Top Gun: Maverick, Watson + more

* a good number of these are platonic but weirdly flirty. the last few are slightly suggestive. read at your own risk.

✨ Tim Bradford (x gf!r)

“I’m so hungry I could eat Angela Lopez,” you say, watching Tim’s face shift.

“You need help,” he mutters without looking at you.

“Tim,” you call. He glances at you, and you smile. “It was a joke.”

“Oh. Do you purposefully avoid funny jokes or-?” He ducks when you throw a pillow at him, lunging toward you before he spins you into his arms and cages you in against his chest.

“You’re so mean,” you complain, pressing your cheek to his pec.

“Says the cannibal.”

✨ Lucy Chen (x roommate!r)

“I’m so hungry I could eat Tim Bradford,” you say while Lucy stirs a pot on the stove.

She stops, turns toward you slowly, and lets her jaw fall open. You shrug, lifting your brows like you don’t know what she’s reacting to.

“I knew you liked him!” she exclaims. She snatches her phone off the counter and adds, “I’m texting him now. I’ll set it up. You’ll be so cute together!!”

“Lucy, no,” you urge, sliding off the barstool. “It was a joke. Stop.”

“Too late.”

You wake up the next morning to a text from an unsaved number reading ‘Still hungry?’

✨ Aaron Thorsen (x crush!r)

“I’m so hungry I could eat legendary hip hop duo Flex and Flow,” you complain.

Aaron looks up at a speed that has to hurt his neck. He begins to speak, but can’t, opening and closing his mouth several times before he opts to shake his head.

“Please don’t ever say that again,” he pleads. “I’ll buy you the entire menu at any restaurant you want.”

“Asking me out?” you inquire.

Aaron tips his head toward you and admits, “Maybe. Unless you mention my dad again.”

“Fine,” you sigh. “I could eat-”

Aaron pulls his keys from his pocket and shakes them noisily. “Then let’s get you some actual food. That’s enough psychological damage for today.”

✨ Dalton Lambert (x gf!r)

“I’m so hungry I could eat the lipstick demon,” you say, holding your phone like you’re watching a video when you’re really filming your boyfriend’s reaction.

The pencil he was holding in his mouth clatters to the floor as he sputters. “What?” Dalton asks softly.

“Hmm. I thought that would be more entertaining.”

Dalton blinks as you end the video, then wonders, “How do you know who that is?!”

✨ Chris Winslow (x roommate!r)

“I’m so hungry I could eat Dalton,” you share over ice cream.

“That’s-” Chris interrupts herself with an extravagant fake gag. “Ew. Tell him that, but I don’t want to hear it.”

✨ Bruce Wayne (x JL!r)

“I’m so hungry I could eat the Joker.”

Batman hmphs, watching the road as he steers the Batmobile.

“What was that?” you press.

“Don’t stoop to his level.”

“Oh. Sure, of course.”

You travel two blocks in silence before Bruce says, “And don’t try to rile me in my own city.”

“Yes, sir.”

✨ Jason Todd (x neighbor!r)

“I’m so hungry I could eat Red Hood,” you read from a long list of comments about superheroes.

“That’s-“ Jason begins, trailing off as he leans toward you to read it himself. “Interesting.”

“I mean… he’d be a full four-course meal, at least.”

Jason stutters, pulling away from you. You watch him, narrowing your eyes as you turn your phone off and set it aside.

“I didn’t know you liked vigilantes,” Jason says, attempting to change the subject.

“Just the ones who have the exact same leather jacket as my cute neighbor,” you reply, shrugging.

Jason sighs, leaning back against the couch and looking at your ceiling. You can see the smile growing on his face as you move to his side and trace your finger over his bicep.

✨ Dick Grayson (x gf!r)

“I’m so hungry I could eat Superboy,” you joke, holding Haley in your lap.

“Really?” Dick asks incredulously. “Beef jerky when you’ve got a bakery to yourself?”

Your attempt at pranking him turns into a joke on you, and you accidentally wake Haley when you burst out laughing, tipping sideways while amused tears run down your cheeks. Dick comes to your side, apologizes without really meaning it, and kisses your cheek.

✨ Tim Drake (x friend!r)

“I’m so hungry I could eat Nightwing,” you tell Tim over a cup of coffee.

Tim’s eyes narrow in thought, and you have to snap directly in front of his face to regain his attention.

“He has a lot of energy,” Tim muses. “I wonder if it could be absorbed, transferred?”

“Don’t bite your brother,” you whisper.

“He wouldn’t mind.”

“Tim.”

✨ Damian Wayne (x Jason’s gf!r (??))

You argued with Jason that this was a bad idea. Damian cares about his pets more than most people, and for good reason. Yet, your boyfriend assured you that Damian would have a better response to the prank if it came from you. Watching a movie with your boyfriend’s youngest brother (though he refuses to acknowledge him as such), you try to find the right time.

“I’m so hungry I could eat Jerry,” you finally blurt out.

Damian turns toward you, his eyes wide and shockingly watery. You fumble for the words to apologize, setting your popcorn aside as you reach for Damian.

“I would have requested Alfred make you something if you had not stooped to Todd’s level of intimidation,” he says with a quiet sniff.

“Damian, it was a prank,” you explain. “Supposed to be funny. I’m sorry.”

Damian nods once, leaning toward you likely unconsciously.

“Perhaps it will be funnier after I encourage Todd to eat a crowbar.”

✨ Terry McGinnis (x vigilante!r)

“Ugh,” you sigh on a rooftop. “I’m so hungry I could eat the Royal Flush Gang.”

Terry nods, so you assume he’s ignoring you. It wouldn’t be completely unusual.

“Got it,” Terry says, then turns toward you. “Bruce wants me to check you for signs of something called pica.”

“After we check you for signs of not having a sense of humor,” you reply, leaning over the edge of the roof to watch a thief. When you begin to tip over, you laugh at Terry’s stiff stance. He’ll never get used to watching someone dive through the air and catch themselves on a thin rope. Bruce reminds him it’s your element, something more than confidence in his voice. Experience.

“Sure,” Terry agrees, though he’s still concerned for your safety until you’re on solid ground. “What’s pica?”

✨ Hal Jordan (x JL!r)

“I’m so hungry I could eat Batman,” you complain.

Hal gasps, then cups his hand over your mouth, searching the sky for something. You try to pull his wrist away from your face, but Hal refuses to move. When you stick your tongue out, he drops his hand quickly, but looks at you in slight horror as he wipes his hand on his suit.

“What are you looking for?” you inquire.

“Bats has eyes and ears everywhere,” Hal explains lowly. His brow furrows then, and he argues, “Wait, if you’re going to eat a team member, why him and not me? I’d be delicious!”

“I… I don’t know how to reply to that, Hal.”

“And it’s from an internet video,” Batman interrupts, lurking behind you in the shadows. “Not personal, Jordan.”

“Bats!” Hal yells, turning toward him. “She- wait, how do you know that?”

Batman grunts, and you smile at the idea of Steph, Cass, or even Dick showing him a silly video.

✨ Optimus Prime (x human!r)

“I’m so hungry I could eat Iron Hide,” you say, swinging your legs as you sit on a rafter beside Optimus’s head.

He lifts his optics from the project he’s working on, looking at you in confusion and concern. “Is… do you have an iron deficiency? Ratchet mentioned that humans sometimes-“

“Oppy,” you interrupt. “No, it’s just a joke. I’m okay.”

Optimus nods, then steps toward you. He offers his servo and lowers you to the floor.

“Would you like to accompany me to dinner?” he proposes.

“Sure,” you answer, smiling up at him.

Optimus hesitates before he transforms, leaning toward you just long enough to say, “There are better options for a Cybertronian meal than Iron Hide.”

✨ Bumblebee (x human!r)

“I’m so hungry I could eat Megatron,” you say.

Bee turns toward you quickly, chirping as he slides through different radio stations. He extends his servo toward you, and when he has you in reach, he transforms around you. With you in the driver’s seat, he speeds to the nearest restaurant and pulls up to the drive-through window.

“Anything but that,” he says through the radio.

“Sorry, Bee,” you murmur, rubbing his steering wheel. “It was a joke.”

His chassis shakes beneath you, reminiscent of a sigh, and he burns rubber exiting the drive-through before you could even consider actually ordering.

✨ Ratchet (x Cybertronian!r)

“I’m so hungry I could eat Bulkhead,” you grumble, toying with something on Ratchet’s workbench.

He looks toward you, his head turning slowly before he points out, “You can’t consume that much metal.”

“Buzzkill,” you mumble in reply.

✨ Stu Redman (x gf!r)

“I’m so hungry I could eat Captain Tripps,” you say, stepping over a pile of empty ammo boxes.

Stu looks at Glen, who shakes his head and argues, “She’s your girlfriend.”

Stu laughs then, and soon, the dark world around you is brightened by the mingled laughter of three lonely wanderers making their way to Boulder.

✨ Peter Parker (x gf!r)

“I’m so hungry I could eat Dr. Connors,” you call, returning from your trip to his office.

Peter’s at your side in at instant, appearing out of nowhere to place his hands on your arms and fix his big brown eyes on yours. “What?” he questions, his voice raspy.

“I said I’m so hungry-“

“Were you exposed to something?” he asks. Cupping your chin, he turns your head from side to side to examine you. “Did he give you something?”

“Peter,” you begin, taking his hands.

“He’s got more airborne infectants,” Peter continues.

“Peter!”

“And there’s a chance he wants to make something new.”

“Pete, Spider-Man,” you interrupt, holding his face. “I didn’t see him, I was just trying to prank you.”

Peter holds his breath, the concern visibly leaking out of him. “Okay,” he murmurs. “Good. Good. Wanna makeout?”

You scoff and push him off of you, but his fingers find your wrist in seconds, and the slow kisses he plants along the side of your neck weaken your resolve.

✨ Eddie Brock (x neighbor!r)

It took several weeks to learn the name of another symbiote. You couldn’t come out and ask it, because then Venom would know you were planning something. But during one of Venom’s late-night rambles, when he lays his head in your lap like a cat and airs his grievances, you heard a name. A week later, he and Eddie are on good terms, and you decide to mess with him.

“I’m so hungry I could eat Riot,” you say.

Venom engulfs Eddie’s body, looming over you with one inky black hand beside your head, using the back of the couch to hold himself up.

“Don’t eat him,” Venom demands. “He would consume you.”

“I won’t,” you answer quickly, gulping as you look up into Venom’s mouth. “It was a joke.”

‘Way to overreact pal,’ Eddie chides in his mind. ‘Maybe listen to me next time?’

Venom’s eyes change, growing longer, as if he’s smiling. “If you are interested in a symbiote…”

Eddie fights for control, and when it’s his face instead of Venom’s hovering above you, he smiles and offers an awkward apology.

“Guess I should’ve said you instead,” you muse.

“Yes!” Venom cheers.

✨ Stephens Croft (x gf!r)

“I’m so hungry I could eat Dr. John Watson,” you say, peeking over the top of your book at Stephens.

“Cannibalism carries a lot of risk,” he replies without looking at you. “No way to know what they’re carrying.”

You smile to yourself as you nudge your foot against his leg. “Thanks, doc.”

Stephens hums, looking over at you with a confused expression.

“Oh,” he realizes. “It was like the video.”

“You’re lucky you’re cute,” you murmur. He blushes, and you add, “Cute enough to eat,” before he hides behind his laptop again.

✨ Victor Vale (x EO!r)

“I’m so hungry I could eat Eli Ever,” you tell Sydney.

“I hope your vaccinations are up to date,” Victor muses, dragging a marker across a page in his parents’ first book.

“You’d let her eat your archenemy?” Sydney questions.

“As long as she made it hurt.”

“Alright,” you announce, slapping your legs as you stand to take Sydney somewhere else. “No more jokes around Vic.”

“Joke?” he questions. “Or idea?”

“Vic,” you hiss, gesturing toward Sydney.

“It’s okay,” Sydney offers. “Eli would be disgusting anyway.”

“He’d taste like death,” Victor agrees.

“Vic,” you repeat, sighing it this time.

✨ Kaz Brekker (x crow!r)

“I’m so hungry I could eat Pekka Rollins,” you muse, watching Kaz’s reflection in his office mirror.

He nods severely and agrees, “Eat the rich.”

“That’s not- okay, Dirtyhands.”

✨ Mitch Turner (x gf!r) (let my man be happy just this once)

“I’m so hungry I could eat Victor Vale,” you say when you see a sign for Merit.

“Don’t,” Mitch replies quickly. “You might summon him.”

“I don’t think that’s how EOs work.”

“You haven’t met the man you want to eat.”

✨ Darlington (x Lethe!r)

“I’m so hungry I could eat Oracle,” you murmur, closing a cabinet in Black Elm.

“She demonstrates inherently piquant tendencies,” Darlington agrees, the bands around his wrists shimmering. “Though there are other members of Lethe worth developing a taste for.”

You realize your mistake in teasing the gentleman demon then and raise your hands. “Down boy.”

✨ Alex Stern (x Lethe!r)

“I’m so hungry I could eat Daniel Tabor Arlington V,” you groan, falling back onto Alex’s bed.

“Get in line!” Mercy calls from the other room.

“Would you eat around the stick?” Alex inquires.

“Gross,” you say against her comforter.

“No, what’s gross is that he might let you.”

✨ Abel Turner (x wife!r) (let my other man do the same)

“I’m so hungry I could eat a detective,” you mumble as you turn the stove on.

Abel slows beside you, lifting his mug to his lips like he’s in slow motion. “Okay,” he replies, drawling the syllables out.

“What?” you question, feigning nonchalance. “Did you want something else to eat?”

Abel shakes his head, sets his mug down, and grips your waist to pull you closer. He kisses you, and you nearly forget that the stove is on as you push his blazer open.

✨ Jack Salter (x trainer!(almost)gf!r)

“I’m so hungry I could eat Danny Moore,” you announce after an expensive team dinner.

“If you’re looking to contract an incurable disease, there are easier ways,” Jack deadpans.

He watches you from the corner of his eye, walking beside him on the inside of the sidewalk as you laugh.

“Wait, what?!” Jack exclaims, reaching forward to stop you. “That’s disgusting. Are you actually still hungry?”

“No,” you admit, bumping your shoulder against his arm. “But thanks for the laugh.”

“Any time.” And the worst part of this prank, Jack thinks, is that he means it.

✨ Bradley Bradshaw (x fiancee!r)

“I’m so hungry,” you say when Bradley returns home from base, “I could eat a fighter pilot.”

He smiles, drops his bag, and takes long, purposeful strides toward you to pull you against his chest. After kissing your jaw, he murmurs, “Prove it.”

[effeminatenightmare]

On 4/30/25 I took my 5th visit to The Kit Kat Club after having won tickets from the lottery.

I had been wanting to see Orville Peck from the moment he was announced as Emcee and let me tell you.... After having seen Eddie Redmayne, Adam Lambert as Emcee. Orville Peck has reached a level beyond levels. His performance felt very similar to Eddie Redmayne's bold decisions. A couple of these new choices made my jaw drop, my body shook out of pure terror.

Orville's characterization was TERRIFYING, sexy, dominant, violent, bloodthirsty, and masculine. His voice was deep, rich, something that is very different from the past predecessors who had brighter tenor voices, and it worked immensely well!!!

A couple of my favorite moments were his "Money" he growled and snarled these lines out in such a monstrous way. It felt like a satanic ritual. "I Don't Care Much" was sung with this passion, but there was something furious behind it. A nice drink, added with arsenic. He reminded me a lot of Tim Curry.

During the Finalé, when he took out his conductor's baton and from the angle in which my seat was. It looked like he was trying to split Cliff in half.

Sally Bowles was played by the insane talent that is GABI. CAMPO. I was wanting to see her as Sally Bowles after hearing about her vocals and unhinged interpretation. I think she was quite possibly my favorite Sally I've EVER seen next to Gayle Rankin and Auili'i Cravalho. Gabi's Sally characterization was MANIC like I've never seen before and reminded me sooooooooo much of Harley Quinn.

We were also sitting in the part of the Mezzanine where she first appears and she walked through the aisle and waved to us during "Willkommen".

Her "Cabaret" was Angry. Devastating. Unstable. I have NEVER heard an audience clap like that before in my life!! 😭

Ellen Harvey is Fraulien Schneider who I had never heard of previously. She was sooooo funny, got a lot of laughs, and broke my heart with her rendition of "What Would You Do?" I loved her chemistry with Steven Skybell. She was outstanding!!!

Risking | Tim Bradford | The Rookie

Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part Four | Part Five | Part Six | Part Seven | Part Eight | Part Nine | Part Ten | Part Eleven | Part Twelve

One Year Ago.

March 16th. 

Despite every fibre of her being screaming for her to run in the other direction, (Y/N) kept her pace steady as she approached Lamberts Coffee Shop. The place had been in operation for as long as she could remember, the owner, Reggie Lambert, was (Y/N)’s landlord at one point in time. She had always come here on weekends when the old man had been working behind the counter. If he still did, she would not have come. He was another life that she could not risk.

Pulling her hood over her head, she entered the cafe and placed an order for a plain black coffee. She would normally go for some complex, overly sugary coffee but talking was the last thing she wanted to do so the bitter taste would have to do. It came in a flimsy paper cup, resisting the urge to wrinkle her nose in disgust, (Y/N) made her way to the back of the cafe and sat down in the furthest corner. 

This spot, unlike the rest of the store, did not attract many customers to sit. The lack of windows causes the area to seem unwelcoming and somewhat neglected. All of the sofas and the comfier chair were in the main section of the cafe, near the counter. If it were a normal day, she would have sat on the green sofa she had once owned. It got donated to Reggie when she moved in with Tim. 

The sofa was old and worn down in all the best ways. The cushions seemed to consume anyone who sat on it. The tops of the cushions had lost some colour over the years and the cotton blend covers had gotten softer with use. Blankets were strewn over the back and there were some decorative pillows stacked up one one side. 

Her favourite part was the small embroidery over top of the frontmost left foot. She had embroidered her and Tim’s initials into it just before she gave it away. The sofa had been her first purchase when she had started as a rookie Even though she had gotten it second hand herself, it had become one of her most valuable possessions. It hurt to give it away, even though she knew that she would be back in the cafe. It was like she was giving up a part of her life.

(Y/N) chuckled at the thought. Of course she thought it was one of the most tragic things, if only she could see herself now. Sitting in a cafe on the off chance she may see Tim again. 

He didn’t know she was here, so he had no reason to come. They had always come together, the only time they had come alone was the day they had met. Reggie had mixed up their orders (he claimed it was accidentally but (Y/N) knew that he had been trying to get her to get back on the dating scene for a while). They sat down together and chatted. Tim left with her number. It was March 16th.

And they have spent every March 16th there since. Until now.

(Y/N) winced at the strong bitter taste of her coffee, slightly regretting not taking the extra seconds to get cream.  She placed the cup back down on the table, she could bear the taste while she waited. It only took another couple of minutes, before the bell on top of the door chimed again. (Y/N) looked up at the noise and then back down at the sight of an elderly couple walking in. 

It passed this way for a few hours. She would look up when the door chimed, only to look away when another stranger entered. She would take a sip of her now cold coffee and wait for another chime. By the time the clock read 4:30, she had been drinking for an empty cup for at least an hour.

Resigned to the fact that she would not see Tim today, (Y/N) binned her cup and moved in a hurry, cursing herself that she had thought that he would be there. Why would he have, he had no reason to go anymore. She was no longer in his life, she was no longer an anniversary worth remembering.

Adjusting her hood and keeping her head down, she opened the door to exit but waited for a man to enter. Swiftly, she left the premises, barely registering the all too familiar voice thanking her.

(Y/N) left the city after that. She knew the risk she had taken by coming here today, a part of her was thankful that she hadn’t seen Tim today because her selfishness hadn’t cost him anything. It took a few hours to arrive back at the dingy motel she had taken as residence.

The door was open when she arrived.

She had always gone out of her way to ensure that her accommodation was thoroughly locked and secure. There was no way that she had left it like that, it wasn’t in her nature. Nothing Has changed inside, her spare firearm was still tucked away in the bathroom cabinet, and her phone she used to call Williamson was still under the bed-side table. None of her clothes had moved from where she had strewn them across the floor. 

The only difference was a polaroid on the bed.

The image was slightly blurry but it was clear what was being shown. Reggie slumped forward in a chair he was tied to. He was badly bruised, sporting a broken nose and a blackened eye. His lip was swollen up and cut from where had bitten down in pain. Blood was streaming from a wound on his head and from a single bullet wound in his chest.

As she examined the image even more, it became clear why such an atrocity had happened. At the bottom of the photograph in the white frame were two simple words.

Strike Two.

Silent, she picked up the photograph and moved to open the bedside drawer. Gently, she placed it down into the drawer on top of an nearly identical picture of her brother that read Strike One.

She knew what this meant. She had been sloppy. And she would pay the price. As she closed the door, she swore that she would not let her emotions allow her to make a decision that ended up taking a life of someone she loved.

Y'all ever think about how "Mama's Broken Heart" by Miranda Lambert fits fanon Janet Drake if she was alive when Tim was absolutely losing himself in grief?
