Professors assign a lot of assignments with tight deadlines, thereby making it difficult for students to make the best use of their time.

Most of the topics require rigorous research and logical reasoning, and this can be too taxing for students.

English tasks to overseas students become challenging, and they affect their grades.

4. Inadequate Researching Competencies

Mile High Club -S.R

Spencer Reid x coworker!reader | fwb |

The jet was obscene. A floating mansion in the sky.

You gaped as the BAU team boarded the aircraft parked on a private tarmac in D.C., your heels hitting the polished wood floor with a hesitant tap. Leather seating, marble bar, private suites. An attendant handed you a glass of champagne before you even made it down the aisle.

“What the hell is this?” you muttered, spinning in place to take in the sheer scope of it. “Is this what profiling gets us now?”

Hotch gave you a rare smirk as he passed, briefcase in hand. “No. It’s what tracking a fugitive across thirty states and two continents gets us.”

The team had been summoned by the American embassy in Dubai. The unsub they’d been chasing for months—one who’d left thirty-two bodies and three different crime scene signatures in his wake—had been identified on surveillance across multiple embassies in the UAE. A rare international assignment, fully funded and far from home.

The suspect vanished two days ago. Now intel pointed to him hiding out, most likely going to kill again.

And someone—likely someone very powerful—had arranged this flight.

"Still feels like overkill," you muttered, slipping into the seat beside Reid. "We're profilers, not diplomats."

He gave you a small smile. “Well, if the killer fled to an oil-rich nation that wanted to avoid an international scandal, they might be motivated to… expedite things. Quietly.”

“Expedite,” you echoed. “Right. With lobster rolls and Egyptian cotton.”

Reid’s hand brushed yours where it rested on the seat between you. His pinky hooked around yours for just a second—barely noticeable. But you noticed. And so did Morgan.

“Damn,” Derek said, appearing out of nowhere with a bourbon in hand, eyeing the two of you with a smirk. “Either this plane’s making everyone real friendly, or I’ve missed something.”

Reid’s hand snapped back like he’d touched fire. You rolled your eyes and took a sip of champagne to hide your smile.

“Missed what, exactly?” JJ asked, raising a perfectly arched brow as she slid into the seat opposite yours with Emily.

“I think Morgan’s bored,” you said smoothly. “He’s making up romance novels in his head again.”

Emily grinned. “As long as it doesn’t end with someone getting murdered, I’m in.”

The banter helped. It always did. You’d needed it this time—God, had you needed it—because this case had been a living hell. But Spencer had been your quiet anchor the entire time. Late-night reports shared in silence.

An hour later, most of the team had dispersed. JJ and Emily had locked themselves into the in-flight spa shower suite, probably out of sheer curiosity. Rossi was drinking brandy and reading a dossier. Morgan was in the gaming lounge—yes, the gaming lounge—trying to beat a VR flight simulator and laughing too loudly. Hotch had disappeared in the private meeting suite at the front of the jet, reviewing files.

And you were standing at the open door of the bedroom in the back of the plane, staring at the bed. Plush, king-sized, with crisp sheets and ambient lighting that looked entirely too romantic for an FBI-sanctioned flight.

You didn’t turn around when you heard him step in behind you.

“I’m going to hell for what I want to do to you in there,” you said softly.

“I think about you like this,” he whispered hoarsely. “On planes. In cars. In the fucking briefing room. I think about your legs around my shoulders while Hotch is assigning tasks.”

Spencer moved fast. Faster than you thought he would—quicker than he ever did in public. One hand gripped your waist, the other tangled in your hair, and his mouth was on yours with a force that stole the breath right out of your lungs.

God, you loved it when he stopped pretending.

You kissed him hard, fingers twisting into his shirt, until the press of your bodies wasn't enough. His hand slid beneath your blouse, up your spine, over the lace clasp of your bra, and you moaned into his mouth—quiet, but not that quiet.

“Shh,” he whispered, grinning against your lips.

“I hate when you do that.”

“No you don’t,” he murmured, pushing you back onto the edge of the bed. “You love when I tell you to be quiet.”

That made you whimper. Loudly.

He hovered over you, hips pressed between your knees, and you felt the hard line of his cock against your thigh. God, he was already so worked up. For you.

“Spence,” you breathed, nails biting into his shoulders. “We shouldn’t.”

“I know.”

“They could hear.”

“I know.”

You dragged him down again, desperate. His hands roamed everywhere—over your breasts, your stomach, under your skirt. You rolled your hips and ground against him, hungry now. He groaned like you’d short-circuited him, fingers sliding your panties to the side, and the moment he touched you, everything else disappeared.

He dropped to his knees, pulled you to the edge of the bed, and buried his face between your thighs like it was the last thing he’d ever do. You had to bite your wrist to keep from screaming his name. His tongue was unrelenting—years of theoretical knowledge applied in all the right places, all at once. When he slid two fingers inside you and curled them just right, your whole body tightened.

“Spence—Spencer, I’m gonna—”

He groaned low, desperate, then licked a slow, torturous path along your inner thigh, teasing the wetness already dripping down your legs. “You’re soaked.”

“Maybe I like planes,” you said, voice shaking as his tongue flicked over your clit.

He laughed against your skin. “Or maybe you like me like this.”

And when he stood, eyes wild and lips glistening, he didn’t ask. He just kissed you again, harder this time—messy, filthy—before turning you around, bending you over the silk-covered mattress, and pulling himself free from his pants.

The first push of him inside you knocked the breath from your lungs.

You both gasped.

“Fuck,” he groaned, forehead pressed to your shoulder. Thrusting into you over and over, hand tangled in your hair, the other pressed flat over your mouth when you got too loud.

His hand muffled the broken moan that ripped from your throat as he snapped his hips harder—deeper—each thrust shaking the frame of the bed beneath you. You were gripping the silk sheets so tightly they might rip, your knuckles white, your legs trembling.

You whimpered, hips rocking back into his.

“Spencer,” you cried out, muffled by his palm. “Oh my God, I—”

He didn’t stop. Didn’t slow. His fingers dug into your hips as he snapped into you harder. You were shaking, sweat slicking your skin, and when he moved his hand to your throat, gently tilting your head back so he could kiss your jaw, you came, moaning as he thrusted you full of warm cum making your eyes roll back.

The only sound in the room was the distant hum of the engines and the obscene panting of your wrecked lungs. Spencer’s weight slumped against your back, his arms wrapped around your waist, still inside you.

Then he kissed the base of your neck. Soft. Gentle. Too intimate for something that was supposed to be casual.

You turned your head just enough to look at him. His curls were a mess, cheeks flushed, pupils blown wide. You’d never seen him like this. You’d never seen him more beautiful.

And it hit you like a punch to the gut.

This wasn’t casual. It hadn’t been casual for a long time.

“Spence…” you whispered, suddenly breathless for a different reason.

He brushed your hair away from your face, brow furrowing like he’d heard it in your tone.

But then—like a cruel twist of fate—the door handle rattled.

Both of you froze.

“Yo, Pretty Boy?” came Morgan’s voice, way too close. “You in there? I need your brain. JJ says I can’t bet on whether or not Rossi’s gonna fall asleep with the brandy still in his hand, but I need the odds anyway.”

You slapped a hand over your mouth to keep from laughing. Spencer’s eyes went wide, then narrowed, then he slowly—very slowly—pulled out of you and reached for his pants.

“I’m—uh—give me two minutes!” Spencer called, voice cracking like a damn teenager. You shoved him off with a panicked squeak. He caught himself on the coffee table, grinning like a lunatic.

You scrambled to fix your dress. He tried to tuck in his shirt.

“I swear he has a sixth sense,” you said, cheeks still flushed.

Spencer exhaled through a laugh, brushing his fingers over your thigh, then your waist, lingering like he didn’t want to stop touching you.

“This thing between us…” you started, hesitant.

He looked at you, all trace of laughter gone. “I know,” he said softly. “It’s not nothing.”

You nodded, throat tight. “But it can’t be something.”

His jaw flexed. “Not yet.”

You looked at each other for a long time. Words unsaid crackled in the air. This was dangerous. It had been dangerous from the beginning. But now it was more than just lust in conference rooms and stolen moments in hotel elevators.

You weren’t sure what it was becoming. But you knew it wasn’t casual anymore.

[confusedkittensposts]

There are two IWTV fics I need badly

One: Armand getting drunk and reciting hamlet on the streets of New York while , inspired by Assad's video

Two: Armand making himself Real Rashid's problem after divorce. Like can you imagine?

You are real Rashid and you can't wait to get out of Dubai, so happy that the assignment is over only to turn around and find Armand, the 500 yrs old vampire you spied on, betrayed and help divorce against his will, standing in the cornor of the room. But all he does is declar he will be staying with you and starts following you like a lost puppy. You boss is shaking his head, but there isn't much anyone can do. Besides Armand drops some info you need out of nowhere a bunch of times. Only Daniel, who is a vampire, made by Armand is looking for his maker and The said maker starts omniously hovering everytime Daniel is mentioned

Rashid really really wants to try out methods of killing vampires

Upcoming:

Codenames - Chameleon. Bookworm. Duchess. Peacock. To anyone with less than level 4 clearance level, those four words mean nothing more than what they mean. But to anyone who knows what truly goes on behind the walls of The Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women, those four words tell the story of the teenagers who banded together to help take down a terrorist organisation before they even graduated high school. These are the stories of how they became known as such.

Red wine - 3 times a Cameron woman let slip that that they were expecting.

It hurts to miss you, but it’s worse to know - Matthew Morgan had two funerals. Joseph Solomon attended them both.

A safe house - Abby is dedicating all of her time and strength to casing the entire continent of Europe for her brother-in-law. Rachel is dedicating all of her heart and soul to bringing what was left of her fractured family back together to grieve as one. These two states cannot peacefully coexist for long. Of course it all comes to a head in Rome.

Overprotective - 4 times a Cameron woman revealed their boy troubles to the someone who loved them dearly. 

Walking away with your kiss on my cheek and a bruise underneath - Abby and Townsend are not perfect. It isn’t love at first sight or a slowly developing affection that binds them to one another. Their relationship is carved from spitting venom and blazing fire, from tearing through one another’s cracks and crevices with vicious words and scathing accusations, from holding one another close in the fallout and vowing never again. Somehow, what holds them together is fighting tooth and nail against one another and basking in the familiar wreckage that this leaves. They wouldn’t have it any other way. Or, the fights that made Abby and Townsend’s relationship what it is.

“It was hard because he was so considerate to me. I know that sounds trivial, but…it wasn’t. I wasn’t allowed to have any contact with home while I was on that assignment. Talamasca policy. It was three years without a single call to my parents or text to my friends. No real opportunity to meet anyone, either. Couldn’t really get close with any of the other employees because I was more or less their boss. And while I’m sure there’s a discreet cruising scene even in a place like Dubai, that’s never really been my thing. I was…” “Lonely?” “Excruciatingly so, yes. It was clear after a few years of having my requests for a transfer turned down that it wasn’t happening. I wasn’t going anywhere. And he always listened to me. Any time an issue came up, if I mentioned it to him, he would fix it. Like making my job easier actually mattered to him. And…” Ah, there it was at last. That bashful, thinking-about-him smile. Jesse had wondered when it would make its appearance. “I got attached. I guess…I just liked making him happy. And—well. I don’t know why I’m even bothering trying to explain. When you see him in a few days, you’re going to take one look at him and understand.”

This new story is in answer to the anon who wants the backstory on how Rashid and Sam met and became a couple (since I only show them as an established couple so far in this series). This is Part 22 of Caldera, but can also be read as a stand-alone. Currently 9 out of 14 chapters posted; yes, this number has risen slightly. It will cover a number of scattered instances from ca. 2007 (Rashid is a teenager in the prologue) until the two weeks in Dubai; it’ll end right around or just after where “Not the Good Guys” begins.

TEASER:

“What night do you officially report for duty?” Sam asks, curled on his side with his head resting on Rashid’s belly.  They’ve made up Rashid’s bed, which at the moment is no more than a mattress on the floor.  “Must be only a couple weeks left to set up this shite.”

“Five o’clock in the evening on March first,” Rashid sighs, staring at the ceiling as he runs his fingers through Sam’s hair.  “Which is about…eleven, twelve nights away?  We have time to get your audio surveillance kit set up and find you a coffin, Sam.  I promise.”

“This assignment runs five years from the night you start work, at least according to the Talamasca contract,” Sam says softly.  “Your five years of training before this?  Went up in fuckin’ smoke.  It’ll be a decade before we know it.  Raglan has a point, love.  What are we doing?”

“Something worthwhile, I hope,” Rashid replies.  “To prevent more disasters if we can help it.”

“Want to know how many disasters I’ve prevented in my time with the Order?” Sam asks dryly.

The Smart Choice: Why Hire a Renovation Company Dubai for Home Makeovers

Home renovation is an exciting journey that allows you to redefine how your space looks and feels. Whether you want to upgrade outdated interiors or completely transform your living area, choosing the right professionals for the job is essential. This is where a renovation company Dubai can make a significant difference.

While some homeowners may consider handling renovations themselves or hiring individual contractors, working with a professional company brings better results, fewer risks, and long-term value.

Professional Guidance from Start to Finish

A renovation company Dubai brings expert guidance throughout the entire process—from initial concept and planning to execution and finishing. Instead of figuring things out on your own, you’ll benefit from the experience and insights of trained professionals who understand local standards, material quality, and efficient construction methods.

They help identify the best design choices for your budget and space, making sure the final outcome matches your expectations. Their structured approach reduces confusion and ensures every step is carried out smoothly.

Avoiding the Risks of DIY

Do-it-yourself (DIY) renovations may seem appealing due to perceived cost savings, but they come with serious risks. Without proper knowledge or tools, it’s easy to make costly mistakes that can damage your property or create safety issues.

A professional renovation company Dubai ensures that the work is done right the first time. Their teams are trained to handle structural changes, plumbing, electrical work, and finishing touches to a high standard. By avoiding errors and rework, you actually save more in the long run.

Streamlined Project Management

Home renovations often involve multiple moving parts—plumbers, electricians, painters, carpenters, and more. Managing each of them individually can be a logistical headache. A major advantage of hiring a renovation company is their ability to coordinate everything under one roof.

You won’t need to follow up with several different people or worry about scheduling conflicts. A reliable renovation company Dubai assigns a project manager who oversees the entire renovation and keeps everything on track, ensuring timely completion without compromising quality.

Customized Design Solutions

Every home is unique, and so are your tastes and needs. A renovation company doesn’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions. They provide personalized design services that cater to your lifestyle, space layout, and long-term goals.

From choosing color schemes to selecting materials, they work closely with you to bring your vision to life. Advanced design software even lets you preview the layout before construction begins. With a renovation company Dubai, creativity meets practicality to create spaces that truly reflect your style.

Compliance with Safety and Building Regulations

Home renovations often require permits, especially when structural changes or utility adjustments are involved. Doing this on your own can be confusing and risky.

A licensed renovation company Dubai is familiar with local building codes and safety regulations. They ensure all legal requirements are met, reducing the risk of penalties or rework. This not only protects your investment but also adds value to your property if you ever decide to sell.

Better Budget Control

Many people believe that hiring a renovation company is expensive. However, the truth is that professional companies help manage your budget more effectively.

They have relationships with suppliers and can source high-quality materials at competitive prices. They also create detailed project estimates, so you know what to expect financially. A well-organized renovation company Dubai avoids unnecessary spending by planning each step carefully and sticking to the agreed budget.

Stress-Free Experience

Renovating your home can be stressful if you’re managing it alone. Unexpected delays, cost overruns, or poor workmanship can lead to frustration. Hiring professionals takes the burden off your shoulders.

With a team handling every aspect—from materials and labor to safety and scheduling—you can relax and watch your dream home come together. Choosing a renovation company Dubai means you get to enjoy the renovation process instead of being overwhelmed by it.

Long-Term Value and Warranty

Reputable renovation companies offer warranties on their work, which gives you peace of mind. Whether it’s a kitchen remodel, bathroom upgrade, or full-home transformation, you can count on lasting results.

In the event of any issues after completion, the company typically provides maintenance or fixes within the warranty period. This level of accountability is rarely available when working with freelancers or managing the project independently.

A Complete Transformation, Done Right

Renovations are about more than just aesthetics. They improve functionality, enhance property value, and boost your comfort. A professional renovation company Dubai understands how to combine design, construction, and project management to deliver outstanding results.

Whether you're updating a single room or redesigning your entire home, they ensure the transformation is safe, efficient, and beautiful.

Conclusion

Home renovation is a major investment, and the results should bring satisfaction for years to come. Choosing a trusted renovation company Dubai gives you access to expert design, seamless execution, and stress-free project delivery. It’s the smart choice for anyone who wants high-quality workmanship, efficient service, and personalized results.

Rather than take chances with uncoordinated efforts or DIY risks, let professionals turn your vision into a reality. With the right team, your dream home is closer than you think.

December Prompts

17) An attic - Cammie x Zach

Zach and Cammie are spending the Christmas after the events of UWS at her Grandparent’s ranch in Nebraska with the rest of her family, and they manage to find a moment of peace away from the adults together. (3,836)

———————————————————————

“We’re not talking about Dubai unless you want to talk about how I saved the day again.”

“Was that before or after you nearly got us caught in the first place?”

“It was certainly after you fucked up your Arabic in front of the Prime Minister, I can tell you that much.”

Zach was losing his mind.

When Cammie had asked him if he wanted to join her and her family at her grandparent’s ranch over Christmas, assuming they weren’t distributed on assignments of course, he had already been nervous. He was a dangerous looking kid who attended a school for troubled boys as far as civilians were concerned, so adults didn’t tend to like him on first meeting. Even the spies in his girlfriend’s family tended to take some time to warm to him, to trust him, to like him, although in fairness those adults knew who his mother was. With only a week away from work, he had worried that Cammie’s grandparents would have him labelled as a troublemaker from the get-go and he wouldn’t have time to persuade them otherwise. Cammie had tried to ease his fears. Had told him that her grandpa would love him as long as he helped out on the ranch, that her grandma would spend the entire week trying to force feed him, that they were kind and loving and very accepting. In the end, it was only the promise that Joe was coming as well, was being dragged to see them for the first time since their son’s funeral, no longer just their son’s best friend but now their daughter-in-law’s new husband, that convinced him to come.

Of course, Zach hadn’t stopped to think about the fact that Townsend would be coming as well.

He should have. Obviously. Him and Abby seemed to be attached at the hip after making up after their most recent fight, and a foot chase with some stray Circle lackeys had left his bad knee in a brace, so it wasn’t a surprise that he had been dragged along to what was apparently her first visit to the ranch since before Matthew Morgan’s first funeral.

It wasn’t all bad. Between Grandma Morgan fawning over the three girls, over college classes and wedding pictures and Abby Darling what happened to your shoulder, and Grandpa Morgan unknowingly pitting the two men against one another when he took them both out into the fields, Cammie’s grandparents didn’t have as much time to interrogate him about his childhood and his family and his plans for the future. In fact, very few invasive questions had been asked at all, and none had been asked about his parents. Someone, either Cammie or Mrs Morgan, had obviously pre-warned the couple about the complicated relationship between Townsend and Zach, as neither of them gave a second thought to their physical similarities or the lingering awkwardness or the way Abby and Cammie kept trying to push them to talk to one another.

That was the problem. The awkwardness.

Even though Townsend had been making painful efforts with him, explaining himself and his relationship with Catherine when she had revealed the truth, stiffly asking questions about his likes and interests in the months after they had found out, going out of his way to look out for him and Cammie both when they started at Langley, the entire situation was still awkward. He didn’t ask for a father, had stopped asking for one a long time ago, and clearly Townsend hadn’t been looking for a son. Plus there was the Cammie/Abby issue making everything slightly more complicated. And the Joe issue. And the Catherine issue. And the… well there were just a lot of issues.

Of course, when Townsend wasn’t bumbling through another uncomfortable attempt at bonding with him, or endearing himself to Grandma Morgan by bonding with Cammie, or suffering through a joint interrogation by Grandpa Morgan and Mrs Morgan, he was doing what he did best. Bickering with Abby.

“My Arabic was flawless-”

“So flawless he tipped off the presidential guard?”

“There was no indication that that was him Abigail, besides-”

Zach was losing his mind.

From across the room, he managed to catch Mrs Morgan’s gaze from where she leaned against her dozing husband, the exasperated glare on her face betrayed by the amusement twinkling in her eyes. She rolled them at him anyway, drawing a small quirk of lips out of him.

“If you seriously suggest that the guards made us because of my table etiquette again, I’m gonna lose it.”

“This is you not losing it?”

It was just the five of them in the room, Grandma Morgan out at an evening pottery class while her husband had gone across the road to bring their neighbours some of their chicken’s eggs. Cammie had disappeared some some ago, which would’ve made him panic had both entrances to the ranch house not been within his eyeline, had the open plan layout not given them visuals on all four exterior angles of the building, had she not promised to stay inside. That left him with the man who was his father, seated uncomfortably on the couch with his girlfriend’s feet in his lap, said girlfriend who was also his own girlfriend’s aunt, and his girlfriend’s mother and stepfather. Talk about awkward.

“You know what Ed? At least I can speak Romanian without my accent slipping through.”

And of course they wouldn’t stop arguing.

“That was one time, and it was years ago!”

Zach was losing his mind.

Thankfully, Mrs Morgan seemed to take pity on him, gesturing to the stairs with her eyes and giving him a slight nod when he raised his eyebrows in question. Truthfully he had wanted to track Cammie down for the past 20 minutes, but he felt a bit bad leaving Mrs Morgan alone with the bickering pair, Joe being no help having fallen asleep over an hour ago. Grateful for the permitted reprieve, he slipped out of his own chair and made his way up the carpeted steps, smirking to himself when he heard the woman who granted it to him begin to tease her sister about an assignment in Bahrain where her own cover momentarily slipped. Townsend had just laughed in response, the two of them seemingly working together to wind Abby up when Zach reached the top of the stairs, the noise from below fading into the background.

Once at the top of the stairs he took a cursory look around, assessed the empty bathroom and the guest room opposite, his room, devoid of life. At one end of the end of the hallway, the room shared by Cammie’s grandparents looked undisturbed, the door still propped ajar by Grandpa Morgan’s jacket caught in the hinges as it was this morning, and the at other end, the room currently shared by Townsend and Abby looked similarly untouched. If he stood on his tiptoes, Zach could just make out the gleam of a dime propped against the top of the door, positioned to fall on the metal handle and make a clang Zach didn’t doubt any agent in the vicinity would react to should someone other than the intended couple open the door. Adjacent to their room, the room Zach was sure used to belong to Mr Morgan by the speed at which Mrs Morgan relinquished it to her sister, her and Joe opting to stay in the den downstairs instead, was Cammie’s. Though the door was wide open, Zach kept his distance, certain he’d face the wrath of someone in this house if he was caught in her bedroom, though he wasn’t entirely sure who would be the most mad. She wasn’t in there anyway. It was too quiet.

That left the attic.

Zach looked up, eyeing the overhead hatch and assessing its placement. It did look slightly misaligned compared to earlier this morning. Taking the access pole, he slowly and quietly slid the hatch open, pulling down the contained ladder and climbing up, sealing up the entrance behind him as he crept into the dim space.

There she was.

Dirty blonde hair still pulled back in the braid Abby had worked on this morning, dust smearing her her prominent cheekbones, rosy cheeks gleaming at him, she seemed to glow in the dim yellow light of the attic. Her feet were wrapped up in the fluffiest socks Zach had ever seen, her torso adorned with one of her father’s checkered shirts layered over one of her stepfather’s sweatshirts. She sat curled up in the corner against a stack of cardboard boxes, the shadows cast by the towers of storage around her obscuring her features from him, a pile of albums to her left and an open book propped up on her lap. Disturbed by his entrance, she looked up towards him as he crawled past old TVs and suitcases to get to her, shooting him a warm smile as he perched himself at her side.

“Ah, you found me.”

He’ll always find her. He’ll never stop looking.

But he didn’t want to bring down the pleasant mood, to chill the soft warmth glowing in his chest, so he just smirked at her. “You’re getting sloppy Gallagher Girl.” She shot him a grin and an eye roll for that, eyes lighting up slightly at the fond nickname. Something thick built up in his throat, in his lungs, in his heart. Something that might be love.

No. It was definitely love.

“Are they still fighting?”

“Like an uptight cat and a stubborn dog.”

“Cats and dogs have nothing on those two.” Chuckling as she knocked her shoulder into his, he wrapped an arm around her and drew them close together, sighing in contentment as she laid her head on his shoulder. “Sorry I disappeared.”

The words were heavier than they needed to be. Both of them silently acknowledging that she had a history of disappearing, of scaring him, of scaring them all. The memories of that summer clogged in his throat, choking him, suffocating him. Pushing through it, he pressed a kiss to her forehead in forgiveness, reaching out for the book, a photo album, sat in her lap.

“Your parents?” She hummed in confirmation and nodded against his shoulder, angling the album towards him so he could get a better look.

An unknown version of Mrs Morgan looked back at him from the photo album, dark hair framing a younger face, expression light with joy and love and youth. Adorned in a white silken dress, she didn’t look that different to the woman Zach remembered from the summer just passed, though the man standing beside her was markedly so. Joe was tall, not quite as tall as Townsend but enough that he was nearly a full head taller than his wife. On the other hand, Mr and Mrs Morgan stood at roughly the same height in these pictures, though Zach was sure she was wearing heels. His hair was lighter than Joe’s, his skin more tanned, his body slimmer where Joe’s was lean. Rather than a subtle smirk, his face was plastered with a wide, crooked grin, eye’s alight with warmth where Joe’s were deep and contemplative. The biggest similarity between the two was how they looked at the woman pictured next to them, loving and trusting and astonished. Zach wondered if he looked that lovestruck looking at that woman’s daughter.

Cammie’s voice broke him out of his musings. “All of Grandma’s wedding questions got me thinking about Mom and Dad’s. Thought I’d hunt down the photo albums while Luke and Lorelai get into it downstairs.”

“Who?”

She blinked up at him. “You’ve never watched- Never mind, we’ll add it to the list.”

Once the Circle had been taken down, the couple could finally spend some time together outside of the Academy without looking over their shoulders every five minutes, without one of them disappearing in a mysterious puff of smoke, without fearing that Zach’s mother could capture or kill them any moment. In doing so, Cammie discovered that his childhood wasn’t just devoid of a father, a normal mother-son relationship, friends his own age, but he also didn’t get the opportunity to watch much TV, Catherine usually picking them up and moving them across the world before they could think to set up an aerial. Every time Zach didn’t catch a reference one of the girls, usually Macey, made, Cammie made a note of the relevant context he was missing and tried to set aside time for the two of them to watch it together.

Last weekend they had watched Mean Girls.

Zach turned to watch his girlfriend’s face as she continued flicking through the album. How her eyes got misty at every picture of her parents, how her smile stretched out her face when she found pictures with Joe lurking in the background, how her laugh brought light the the otherwise gloomy attic when she turned the page to find a picture of her aunt jumping on her father’s back. At a picture of Mr Morgan with his parents, she hesitated, her finger running across her grandparent’s faces, the grief and pain of the last few years absent in the memories of their younger selves.

“At dad’s funeral, the first one I mean, Grandma was completely out of it. She hugged me once then stopped acknowledging I was there. Stopped acknowledging anyone. Grandpa kept crying. He was trying not to, was trying to be strong for Grandma and I, Mom too, but he just kept crying. They lost their child…” Her words failed her, trailing off into the silence and darkness surrounding them. Biting her lip, she appeared deep in thought, eyes a million miles away.

It only took a moment for his memories of last summer to come flooding back, Mrs Morgan’s blank expression haunting him. The way her voice cracked around Cammie’s name and she seemed to shake where she stood. The way her feet seemed to carry her in the direction of her daughter’s room before remembering, stalling, stumbling in place. The way he caught her hunched over Joe in the hospital wing, weeping into her knees with his fingers clutched in one hand, the goodbye Cammie left them in the other.

Looking at his girlfriend’s face, it wasn’t hard to tell that her mind had jumped to the same thoughts.

“Your mom hasn’t lost you Cam, you’re fine.”

Shaking her head, she smiled at him, the pain of agonising over whatever distress she caused her mom still present in her eyes. “How do you do that? How do you always know what I’m thinking.”

I don’t.

If he did, he never would’ve left her alone that summer, never would’ve left her to run off without him. If he did, he would’ve been brave enough to ask her out properly long before he actually managed to. If he did, he wouldn’t spend half his time worrying that she finally realised she was too good for him.

Still, it was nice to know that Cammie thought he could read her mind.

Smirking at her, he just pointed to himself with the arm not wrapped around her. “Spy.” Cammie laughed, throwing her head back in glee. He loved her laugh, loved that despite everything she had gone through, everything his own mother put her through, she still found the strength to laugh so freely. In awe of the woman before him, he moved closer towards her, leant his forehead against hers, pressed his lips to hers and whispered softly against them. “I know you Gallagher Girl.”

She smiled, rubbed her nose against his before moving away. Turning the page agin, she traced the image of her parents trapped in a world before she existed. “It’s a wonder spies have kids at all, knowing they could follow in their footsteps, knowing they could lose them like that. Really makes you think…” Her voice trailed off again, eyes staring deep into his.

Suddenly he remembered their conversation in the moment after he learned Townsend was his father. How he told her he didn’t want kids, wouldn’t want to mess them up like his mother did him. He meant it at the time. He thinks he still means it now. He’s only 18, but he can’t imagine ever knowing anything about being a dad, can’t imagine ever having someone to learn it from, can’t imagine ever risking fucking it all up. Still, looking at Cammie now, how beautiful she looked covered in dust and half concealed by darkness, hiding amongst memories that weren’t hers and ruminating on a future that might be, he couldn’t help but wonder if maybe one day he might change his mind.

Blinking the thoughts away, he instead shot her a self-deprecating gin, tilted his head into the hand that cupped his cheek. “Reckon my parents would disagree.”

Cammie shook her head at him, ignored the existence of his mother and focussed on the on parent they both kind of liked. “You and Townsend have been getting along!” Thumb soothing up and down his face, she leant forward again and pressed their foreheads together, whispering softly. “He cares about you Zach, really. He’s a good guy.”

Zach just shrugged. “It’s still not the same.”

Sure, Townsend was a decent guy. Zach knew now that he didn’t know Zach was his for the first 18 years of his life, knew that he would’ve done something about it if he had. And he guesses the man cares about him, as much as he seemed to care about anyone that wasn’t Abby at least. But it still wasn’t the same, the man was never going to love him the way Cammie’s parents loved her. Zach was never going to get that.

Looking back down at the photo album, he studied the pictures of her parents again.

“You look a lot like him.” She blinked at him, casting her gaze briefly back to the photo album before looking back at him. Her eyes looked misty again. “Both of them actually, but more him.”

Sniffling, Cammie just shrugged, tone mimicking his self-deprecation from earlier. “Not having as many of the Cameron genes certainly helps the whole Chameleon thing.”

Zach knew she thought of herself as plain, as average, as indistinguishable. Knew she felt unremarkable compared to her mother’s side of the family. He thought it was ridiculous. From the moment he met her he knew she’d be the face he remembered for the rest of time. She was the most stunning person he knew. It amazed him that she couldn’t see that.

Running a finger down her cheek, cupping it in his hand, his other arm moving to wrap around her waist, pulling her body into his, he dropped his voice to a whisper. “You always stick out in a crowd to me Gallagher Girl.”

And he kissed her.

Immediately intoxicated by the taste of her, he groaned into her mouth even as he felt her smile against him. They moved together in rhythm, pushing and pulling at one another in a familiar dance of passion. His hand ran from her face to her hair, dislodging the braid that it sat in and running his fingers through the waves of it, nails scratching against her scalp as her own fingers began tickling across his chest. Breaking apart briefly for air, he smirked at her, closing in again to nibble slightly at her lower lip, the breathy whimper that he was met with making his toes curl. Zach was desperate for her. He was just about to lean her backwards to the floor of the attic, press his body on top of hers so he could feel every inch of her when-

“Cameron Ann Morgan! If you and your boyfriend aren’t down here in 5 minutes I’m going to assume you’re doing something inappropriate in the family home and come up there with the intention of removing his skull from his body.”

They sprung apart at the resounding boom of Abby’s voice coming from directly below them, Cammie giggling silently against his lips as he gaped in mock outrage.

Remove my skull from my body? He mouthed at her.

At least it’s just your skull? She mouthed in return.

Winking at her, he grinned and moved his lips silently again, heart filled with light. I knew I was growing on her.

Mrs Morgan’s voice sounded from even further below, what sounded like another floor separating the two sisters. “Abby I told you to go get them not to threaten them!”

“I only threatened one of them! Besides, I’m doing you a favour Rach, trust me.” Voice switching from defensive and amused as she addressed her sister to firm yet teasing as she yelled up at them, Abby rapped her knuckles against the wall as she continued. “Now quit making eyes at each other and get down here squirt, your mom’s too uptight to be a grandmother before she’s 50!”

“Hey!”

Cammie shook her head at him, giggling as he tried to dejectedly lay his head against her shoulder, tried to hide the flush that crept its way up his face. A matching red hue had taken over her cheeks and her neck as she pushed him off her and made her way to the hatch of the attic, poking her head out to speak to her aunt.

“You realise I currently share a wall with you and Townsend right? Talk about inappropriate.”

“Ew Cam. Seriously?” Zach muttered under his breath. He may not think of the guy as his dad, but he also didn’t need to be thinking of him like that.

“Get down here Kiddo, before your aunt gives Townsend a stroke with all the baby talk.”

Cammie swung her legs out of the attic in response to her mom’s voice, a steadying hand reaching up to help her before she turned back to Zach. “You coming?”

“Be with you in a second.”

Studying him for a moment before nodding in ascent, Cammie left him to it.

In the dark silence that remained, he took a deep breath. All at once, he remembered another attic, darker and colder somehow, where instead of photo albums and memories of a good man, it held only weapons and files and tools and misery. He remembered the loneliness that lived in his veins when that attic sat above him, how there wasn’t a room he walked into where he didn’t feel scared and small. He thought about the people in the house below him. The man who was trying to be his father and the man who taught him how to be a man. The woman who had gone out on a limb to trust him and the woman who had gone out on a limb to keep him safe. He thought about the girl who brought him to life, who erased any trace of loneliness from his blood, any sense of cold from his life.

He smiled.

———————————————————————

Authors note:

A little late but the longest instalment yet! Mostly Zammie, as per @gildengirl and @bryn-not-brynn’s request, but also a healthy dose of Zach ruminating on the weird little family situation he’s found himself in.

Corporate Travel Insurance Must Have Coverage for Global Business Trips

In today’s globalized business environment, international travel is an essential part of corporate growth.

4. Global Medical Coverage

From sudden illness to accidental injury, medical care abroad can be very expensive. A robust travel insurance plan ensures quality healthcare without draining the company’s resources.

Each corporate partner is assigned a visa relationship manager who serves as a single point of contact for all visa-related queries and updates. This personalized support ensures faster resolutions and eliminates the need to navigate embassy procedures independently.

2. Faster Processing and Priority Handling

Partner companies receive expedited document checks, prompt application submissions, and real-time status updates. The program is designed to reduce waiting periods and minimize errors, helping your team travel on schedule.

3. Customized Visa Advisory

Different trips require different visa strategies—whether it’s attending an expo in Germany, a sales meeting in Dubai, or a client visit in the U.S. BTW Visa offers tailored advice based on the country, industry, and purpose of travel, helping you choose the correct visa type and avoid rejections.

4. Pre-Travel Document Readiness

BTW Visa ensures that your HR or admin team always has a checklist-ready package of essential documents like covering letters, invitation formats, financial proofs, and business registration records for recurring use—standardized and embassy-compliant.

5. Bulk Application Management

Managing visas for teams traveling for international projects or conferences? BTW Visa handles bulk processing with ease, ensuring all applications are submitted and tracked simultaneously, reducing individual follow-ups and increasing efficiency.

6. Training & Compliance Support
