rayla's "is this a guessing game? just do it!" to "what are you talking about? that's impossible" to "callum! but how did you—?" to "humans could do anything, they could be anything, they could take their own fates and change them—" to "then take a different path, dummy!"

she knew it was inevitable - running into them. so to avoid being blindsided by their sudden presence, alara decided it best to just go ahead and get it out there. once she was settled in her room with a teammate, she wasted no time unpacking and then sending a text to the long-dead group chat.

thought our glory days were behind us huh? meet me down for a bite. xx

it was no surprise the two boys were picked for the usa hockey team that year - their careers sky rocketing. beau did better than expected once he and alara graduated, and subsequently ended their brief relationship. while callum did his time in lower leagues and found the break he was looking for.

of course she had kept track of them through the years, alara was anything if not thorough. she would never admit that she missed them, yearned for their presence, to continue to poke at what was under the surface for them all.

hair slicked back in a tight pony, designer athleisure dawning her petite body, she bounded down toward the food court area, trying not to appear too eager to see them.

who: Callum Jackson @callum-jackson where: Sweet Cheeks Bakery

The last person that Teagan had expected to hear anything from on the worst day of her life was Callum Jackson. She'd picked up the phone expecting it to be just another spam call - she'd been getting a ton of those recently - or a call for someone to book a party event when she'd heard Callum's voice on the other end, distraught as he was explaining what had happened to her father. A man that Callum had once been close to as he'd been a big part of Teagan's life just five years ago; but Teagan didn't care. Nearly just as quickly as she'd registered what was happening, Teagan was arriving in East Haven less than twenty four hours later, and while she'd been flooded with information of what had happened, she didn't realize until a few weeks later that she'd never properly thanked Callum. Sure, she'd thanked him, but Teagan had never been a 'half way' kind of person, and she wanted to remember to make it up to him. Today wasn't her usual schedule, but she was feeling a little pick me up, which she'd always seemed to find in baked goods. She was standing in line, scanning the menu for what kind of pastries she wanted to fill in her 'build a box' that she was planning to buy and out of the corner of her eye she could see Callum sitting at a table. Trying her best to ignore him - she didn't want him to see what she was planning - she ordered her pastries and made her way to his table. Offering him a small smile as she placed the box on the table - an individual box on top - she looked over at him. "I realize that I never told you thank you." she admitted. "Not properly anyways." she nodded, looking back at him. She opened the box and handed him the empty smaller box. "You should remember that one of my love languages is food and giving; take as many as you want. As a thank you for all the hard work you did for dad."

There were very few aspects of her job that Cali didn't like. Sure, she could do without smelling like fish every second she was in her wetsuit, but as she watched her favourite bottlenose dolphin, Mystic, whizz past her, it more than made up for it. "Okay Avie, you ready?" Blowing on her whistle, Cali smiled around the metal as the dolphin immediately made a beeline for them. Reaching behind her and into the bucket of fish, Cali tossed one to Mystic before handing the other to the little girl. "Just toss it in when she opens her mouth and then you can rub her nose."

As much as Cali selfishly loved being with the animals, watching the children she considered family enjoy the perks of her job just made her heart feel that bit warmer. As Avie fed the dolphin, Cali glanced over at Callum, nodding towards the pool of water. "I don't let just anyone come and feed my favourite dolphin, you better get over here before she gets bored of me."

It was the next logical step to heal. If she was truly going to close the door on the heartbreak over her long deceased relationship, she had to at least try and move on. When she had discussed it with her therapist, it had seemed easy. All she had to do was go to dinner with somebody, something she did regularly anyway but now that the word 'date' had been tagged onto it, she couldn't quite stop her palms from getting clammy.

She'd walked to Luther's from the shop and as she stood outside, she quickly wiped her hands together to try and rid them of the evidence of her nerves. "You can do this." With a few more deep breaths, she opened the door and looked around, only having vague memories of the picture her friend had showed her before she'd set the blind date up. It only took her a few seconds to find someone that looked somewhat familiar and before she could second guess herself, she walked over to him. "Callum?"

@scinglives liked for a shippy starter || Isabella and Callum

"Are you sure about this?" Isabella asked as she heard Callum entering the room. "I just feel like a fish out of water in this thing... I don't want to mess up on your big night." She wasn't entirely sure of the event, just that it was from Callum's work and it would be the first time she got to meet some of his colleagues.

[raayllum]

Was thinking it over that Callum giving up info/doing dark magic to save Rayla in 5x08 is indeed the equivalent of her leaving in Through the Moon (“As long as we love each other, as long as we protect each other” “I was trying to protect him” / “I knew I had to be strong alone” + Callum not telling her about what he did / “All that talk about how love makes you stronger, but the second that elf girl in pain, you completely lost yourself” “I have to be strong, no matter what, and if you said even one word to me, I wouldn’t - couldn’t be”). 

And Rayla is still set up to be the one to save Callum from brainwashing/his imposed ‘destiny’ in S6, probably tying together her arc regarding sacrifice and her well, refusing to sacrifice Callum even for the good of the world. Which means also having to save her - from death, from Aaravos, and subsequently risking the world for her as well - is still on the goddamn fucking table I am Losing my mind

People were steadily making their way into the hospital if they could, but ultimately word had been spread that services were suspended until the winds died down. He walked up to Callum, knowing that despite the quietness of new patients, there were still patients in the hospital that needed assistance. "I'm a quick learner," he told the man, "what do you need me to do?" Helping was a hell of a lot better than sitting around.

Johnny had made sure his wife and twins made it back home. With his vehicle out of comission, he had to make sure someone else brought them home. However, due to his own military training, search and rescue skills, Johnny told Stevie that he would be home soon but knew that he needed to help clean up around town. As he made sure they were safe, he turned back to Callum, "Alright, how can I help? Put me to work, Callum."

Who || @papaflynn Where || Alvaro's Restaurant. One of their new wait staff appeared in the doorway to Nia's office with a somewhat confused expression, 'Nia - there's a guy asking for his usual table and if you were in. Should I say you're busy or...' the young woman's voice trailed off in uncertainty. "Ah, yeah he's a friend. I'll be out in a minute. It's table six, in the corner. I'll grab his drink when I come out so don't worry about it." In a way that very few people could pull her so swiftly from her work Nia was up and walking through the kitchen to the front in two minutes flat. "If it isn't my favorite regular." She beamed at Callum, approaching the table with an iced water for them both. She eased into the seat opposite him, "You have good timing. I might've skipped lunch so I should probably sit and have dinner with you." She didn't need to glance at the menu, knowing it by heart. "To what do I owe the honor of your visiting?"

@siiinfully​ liked for a guest starter || callum and soleil

footsteps are solid on tile as he walks across the room, the only sound in the room besides the muffled sounds of a man, who had made one mistake too many. going out to the bar that night, getting too drunk, touching his wife; all of these things are choices that brought this individual to this dimly lit, dungeon of a room, bound and gagged and at his mercy. and callum was a calloused and cold man, especially when it came to the defense of what he thought to be his. and the redhead who was tied to the table, stripped bare, spread wide and staring right at the foolish man was undeniably the property of callum. 

“ welcome to our home. this is what you wanted right? you wanted to see what my wife looked like when she was screaming in ecstasy? well, here is your chance. one last gift before you pay for what you did earlier, “ stated the protective husband who was working his pants down in between the legs of his loving wife. no one would suspect the couple would do these kinds of things in private, but that was the perfect way to cover his darker ministrations and desires. but her being the perfect cover didn’t detract from the toxic love that he felt for her, possessive as it might be. his hand comes forward, sliding over the center line of soleil’s body, until he’s wrapping digits around her neck. “ tell him how much you love my touch baby. tell him how much you want my cock. “

The young man leaned against the counter at the café. "You look a little lost." Callum said softly. "I mean you don't look like you're from around here. Most of the people here are students at Bishop. You aren't. Thinking of applying?"
