Golden Globes - Cillian Murphy x reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary: Written from the perspective of press and viewers of the golden globes; how cute are Cillian Murphy and his girlfriend Y/n L/n?! From the red carpet to his acceptance speech, look at what a mesmerising couple these two make!
Word count: 2,250
Trigger Warnings: she/her pronouns, AFAB reader, very slight profanity, mostly just fluff (please let me know if I missed any) 
Disclaimer: This is written purely for fictional purposes and for the sake of writing. No disrespect is intended to the real people portrayed/concerned in this scenario. 
AN: Inspired by Yvonne and Cillian actually being the cutest couple ever at the Golden Globes. Also, if you catch the sneaky Succession reference: mwah! Edit: Just watched an interview clip where he says everyone calls him Cill as his nickname and I will be gratuitously using that from now on.
Always appreciate comments, likes, and reblogs :) 
Tumblr media
Part 1: Red Carpet 
“And next to arrive onto the red carpet is Cillian Murphy! He’s a favourite to win the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Drama Motion Picture, and I mean, rightly so, he killed it in Oppenheimer!” 
“Right?! And I have to say, whoever styled him tonight knew what they were doing, because mmm chef’s kiss right there.” 
“For real, but knowing him he probably grabbed an old suit out of his closet and put it on, hahahah.” 
“I bet he wishes, but Y/n would never let him, and there she is! Oh look how stunning she looks! For all our viewers who are unaware, that’s Y/n L/n, Cillian Murphy’s girlfriend and the other half of our favourite couple!” 
“Is that a vintage Schiaparelli?! Um, someone did not come to play. Aw, look how cute they are, he refuses to let go of her hand. I want a man like that.” 
“The way he smiles at her?! You can really tell they love each other, and awwww she’s blushing!!! You guyssssss, I can’t handle this.” 
“Hahahah, she’s forcing him to go out and strut his stuff, how sweet. That’s the definition of a supportive partner right there, always wanting you to have your moment to shine.” 
“Honestly, and like, I know we’re supposed to be watching Cillian but guys look how SHE watches him. That’s true love right there, and no one can convince me otherwise.” 
“D’you remember that interview where he talked about the little gifts she gets him at the end of each of his movies?” 
“Oh my god yeah, that was adorable, she makes him something small to remember each of his movies, like she knits or crochets or crafts something for him right?” 
“Yeah, exactly, well apparently, since this was his sixth movie with Nolan, she made the little tokens for all the producers and like the lead team. I was in TEARS when I heard, because who is that sweet? Like who is THAT sweet to their partner’s whole team?” 
“I didn’t know that, oh my god, I love her even more. No wonder Cillian loves her, I get it, I fully support it.” 
“Ok, seems like Cillian’s done getting his pictures taken and- aw! He’s looking for her! Cillian, bestie, she’s right there, ok ok ok, they found each other. Look at that hug!” 
“A man who adjusts the train of your dress like that to help you walk easier??? That is a man worth having, and Cillian Murphy is clearly the best man. Gosh look at the way she leans into him when they walk, and he’s just rubbing her back all soft and sweet, aaaaa I think I’m gonna melt.” 
“Oo! Ok, they’re going for interviews and the next person to come up is…” 
Part 1.2: Interview 
“Hi Cillian! How are you feeling tonight?” 
“I’m doing well thank you, a little nervous I guess, how are you?” 
“I’m great! Having a lot of fun here at the Golden Globes! How did you enjoy the red carpet? Any chance to meet others yet?” 
“Yeah, it’s grand, very… opulent, heh, and no! Unfortunately I haven’t had a chance to properly greet anyone yet, but I’m sure when we get inside I’ll have plenty of time for that.” 
“Alright, let’s talk about your movie for a bit, how does it feel to see all the recognition it’s getting?” 
“It feels deserved, you know? Everyone worked so hard on that film and put in a hundred and ten percent and it feels like people have really noticed it and seen not only the talent but the effort the team put in.” 
“Were you expecting such resounding fame for the movie?” 
“I mean, I definitely knew at least some people would watch it because Chris made it, hahaha, and people have recognised how amazing he is, but I guess you never really know how popular a movie is going to be until it comes out. But it’s truly amazing to see how it resonated with audiences.” 
“You’ve spoken in past interviews about the importance of a strong and accepting support system for people in this line of work, how did such an intense movie fit into your life?” 
“I mean, I treated it like I treat all my roles - it is a job at the end of the day - but it’s always great to have my family willing to put up with odd schedules and having to be away from home for long periods of time. My girlfriend, heh, she’s actually really great with this stuff. She always makes sure to call me while I’m away, she comes to visit as often as she can, and she just has this way of making anywhere feel like home, you know? Regardless of where I am, or what I’m doing, I can count on her, and that’s probably the best part of my life. It’s a really bad habit of hers but she stays up late with me if I have an oddly timed call or interview or whatever, just to be there with me.” 
“Aw, that’s so sweet! It’s amazing the way you talk about her, she sounds like a great person!” 
“She really really is. I mean, there’s some people out there who are just blessed with the biggest hearts and even just their presence can make life better, you know? And that’s her. I don’t know where I would be without her in my life to be honest with you.” 
“Oh how cute! Well, we’ll let you go, tell your girlfriend how much we love her, and good luck with your award tonight!” 
“Thank you.” 
Part 2: The Main Event 
“And the Golden Globe goes to… Cillian Murphy!” You let out a rather unholy shriek that you were sure would be caught on camera and posted all over, but you were too excited to care. You jumped up, grabbing Cillian by his shoulders and pressing your lips to his mouth and face, over and over until there were lipstick smudges across his nose. 
“You did it Cill! You did it,” you whispered, rubbing at his face to try and wipe away the lipstick. He had the lightest red splotches across his nose and cheek but they mixed into the flush on his skin so you let him be after a moment. Your face hurt from smiling, your whole body buzzing because finally, finally, he had gotten the recognition he had long deserved. 
“Oh boy, my first question, do I have lipstick all over my nose? Ah, I’m just gonna leave it. Um, I-I knew the first time that I walked on Chris Nolan’s set that it was different. I could tell by the level of rigour, the level of focus, the level of dedication, the complete lack of any seating options for actors, heheh, that it was-that I was in the hands of a visionary director and master. I wanna thank Chris, and Emma, for having the faith in me for-for twenty years, and six feckin pictures! So, thanks so much. Um, one of the most beautiful and vulnerable things about being an actor is that you can’t do it on your own, really, and we had the most incredible ensemble cast in this movie, it was magic, and some of them are here today. Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr, Matt Damon, Gary Oldman, thank you for carrying me and holding me through this movie. Um, thank you to- thank you! Uh, thank you to Dara Langley, and everyone at Universal for believing in this movie from the very beginning. Uh, oh! To all my fellow nominees - if you’re Irish or not - you’re all legends, stunning work guys, I salute you. Um, to all my reps, all my team, uh thank you so much you’re the best. To my girlfriend, you are the light of my life, the love I couldn’t live without, thank you for always being there. To my family, I’m the luckiest man, I love you, thanks so much guys!” 
Part 3: Top Ten 
“Hello everyone and welcome back to the ATN News youtube channel! Today we are looking at our top ten favourite Cillian Murphy moments from the Golden Globes and spoiler alert: they all have something to do with his girlfriend because, let’s face it guys, they’re our favourite unproblematic power couple! Just a reminder that we did similar videos for some other celebrities so you can check them out on our channel but let’s get started! 
Number 1: When they were walking into the hall and he held her purse for her! This is a personal favourite because I love someone who notices the little things, and the fact that he just kinda slipped it from her hands?? Cuteness overload. 
Number 2: This one is my personal favourite. During the break, the camera was just kinda moseying around and it caught them whispering to each other and just laughing. Look at how lovey dovey they are, leaning against each other, just whispering in each other’s ears. I really wanna know what they’re saying because I’m sure they are the most hilarious people on earth, but it’s also so intimate that I don’t wanna disturb them, you know? And she’s holding his hand in her lap aaaa! I have to move on otherwise I’m just gonna sit here and watch this all day. 
Number 3: Ok, at number three we have the couple’s red carpet glam moment! After getting some solo pictures taken, Cillian had Y/n walk the carpet with him and they slayed. I mean they slayyyyyed. Their outfits were amazing, their chemistry was amazing, their poses were amazing just- amazing. The fact that she did the little heel kick in one of the pictures?? Iconic. Cillian, Y/n, if you guys are looking for recommendations I would frame the picture where Y/n’s kissing the air just before Cillian’s cheek, it’s funny and it’s cute. 
Number 4: This is a moment from an interview he gave where they asked him about life with Y/n, take a listen. 
“You know she’s just the best. We both have our own strengths at home and I think they fit together so well and it just works perfectly. Like, I’m terrible at D.I.Y. Just absolutely hopeless, and good or not, she’s tenacious. If she starts a project for the house, no matter how hard, she will learn what to do and she will finish it. It’s inspiring honestly. Just every little thing she does inspires me.” 
Number 5: Halfway through and this might also be my personal favourite (agh I can’t choose!). When Y/n fed Cillian something from her plate?? Guys, when I saw that, I kid you not I almost melted. She just gently taps his shoulder, lifts her fork to his mouth, and feeds him. Was he too nervous to eat?? Did she notice and make sure he ate something?? Or is that just something they do? Like if you walked into their house at a random dinner time she might just randomly feed him something?? Either way, it was cute and I bet they make everyone sick with their love and I’m here for it. 
Number 6: Another simple one, but when he sat back with his arm over her chair? He just kinda leaned to the side and put his arm on the back of her chair and she just kinda shifted closer into his side- and they didn’t even stop their conversations with other people! They just did it! Being that intune with someone is just nghdhm. I have no words. 
Number 7: Alright, so some fan pics came out after the event of the couple leaving the venue, and look at this, he’s carrying her shoes for her!!! The pictures are a little grainy, but you can clearly see him holding the heels that she was wearing during the event while they walk to the car. She’s even carrying his award for him, what a bunch of cutiepies!
Number 8:  Another one from the fan pics - and another personal favourite (leave me alone) - is those cuties dancing on the street! I think it’s near their house and the pictures capture him twirling her, and they’re both laughing so much and then they’re hugging and Cillian’s just swaying her (all while holding that Golden Globe mind you) and they just look so happy and in love. Brb, I need something to tackle this overdose of cute. 
Number 9: Our second last moment is when Y/n kissed Cillian right before he went up to accept his award! Just, the scream, the kiss, the lipstick on his face, all of it is so perfect. And the fact that he left it on his face while giving his speech? Our king, have no shame, proudly show her love! 
Number 10: And of course, the final favourite has to be Cillian’s speech. He was funny, he was gracious, and honestly? It was perfect. If my boyfriend called me the light of his life in a room full of famous people, on a live broadcast that like millions of people are watching, I would probably just start proposing to him at that moment. Like he really said “the love I couldn’t live without” can you imagine that kind of devotion?! I want that. 
Anyway! Thanks for watching our top ten Cillian Murphy moments. Don’t forget to like and subscribe!” 
AN: Yes, I did transcribe his whole acceptance speech. No further questions.

Today's small mystery
Reshelving some books that got out of their normal shelf in the upstairs bedroom, with the usual side revelations: (a) I need ebook copies of all the [Insert Color Here] Fairy Books, as it'd be good to have a collection of searchable texts*; (b) I need ebook copies (implying searchable texts) of the entire C.S. Lewis collection, as hunting for one of the more obscure quotes online is a waste of time that could be spent doing useful things like baking, or on creating crap renders of the recalcitrant manes of local demigods: (c) Hmm, some of these have bookmarks stuck in them. I wonder what those are about...?
I went through two or three books that had marks in them (blank sticky notes, usually), and in all but one case was able to figure out why I'd marked them, and make a note elsewhere of their content and implications. (I've been flirting with getting into Obsidian to see if it helps me stay on top of this kind of issue, but am not sure I really need it yet.)
This one, though, has left me baffled. It might have simply been where I paused in my reading... but that's not usually how I use my bookmarks. Normally I place them as a reminder that there was something on that page or spread that needed my attention for some reason, or was related to something else that was going on in life, or writing, or something. In this case... now all I have to try to recall is exactly what the issue was.
The bookmark tells me that we're almost certainly talking about something I was reading in 1994, because it's a train ticket from the 5th of September in that year, which I bought on the train (because there's no "from" marking on it), while heading to Wicklow Town. ("Cill Mhantain" is Irish for Wicklow.)
Tumblr media
...The book is the Abbey Classics edition of Petronius's Satyricon: the Burnaby translation of 1694. (Interestingly, the National Library of Ireland has the same edition I do. Though I bet theirs is in better condition.) This is what we'd think of as a paperback, though it's actually bound with a soft cloth binding and has a paper dust jacket. (A scan of the front cover and front flap is below.) There are a lot of places I could have picked this up used in Dublin, but my guess is that it comes from one of a number of trips to Hay-on-Wye.
Tumblr media
...And here are the pages where the train ticket was stuck in: a passage from the middle of Trimalchio's feast.
Tumblr media
So now all I have to do is work out why I marked those pages... thirty years ago. (eyeroll) Yay.**
Something to occupy myself while I go off and make a flammkuchen...
*They're all online at Gutenberg, so that's all right.
**Though looking at the obscure idiom/metaphor "She's a very Pye at his Bolster," I wonder if it was something to do with that. ETA: So the thing to do when you run into a phrase like this in translation is to check another translator and see what they've got. It hadn't occurred to me on first glance that "Pye" wasn't a culinary reference, but a contraction of "magpie". And surprise, the 1913 Heseltine translation at Tufts' Perseus Digital Library has this as "a magpie belonging to a sofa": i.e. a bird that "henpecks" you in your own bed. Ow.

Hiii so I absolutely love your lockdown series can't believe I've only seen it till now❣
Do you know of anyone else who writes cillian x reader or cillian x oc. They're so hard to find as there's lots of tommy fics that get tagged as Cillian x reader. TIA ❤
Hello lovely anon! Thank you so much for this, I’m delighted that you’re enjoying the lockdown madness 🥰 It always tickles me when other people like those goofs in love because they have a very special place in my heart ♥️
So, the Cillian writing fandom is quite small (but mighty!) but below are the folk I know for sure write stories for him. Where they have them, I’m linking you to their Cillian masterlists but most of these folk also write for Tommy Shelby and other Cillian characters too.
✨ @peakyscillian -> masterlist <- gotta start with my BESTIE who writes some of the most epic Cillian smut in the land. Her Date series and Bend The Rules are brilliant, please go and check out her work 🤍
✨ @look-at-the-soul -> masterlist <- Mar writes beautiful Cillian stories and has a long running series (that I really MUST catch up on! 🙈)
✨ @gypsy-girl-08 -> masterlist <- one of the doyenne’s of the Cillian literary fandom 🤭 So many amazing (and smutty!) stories including a staggering number of series.
✨ @queenshelby -> masterlist <- another long running Cillian writer with a panchant for smut (though often with age gaps, just fyi, in case that’s not your particular jam)
✨ @cillspropertea -> masterlist <- Annie writes beautiful, heartfelt stories for Cill. She hasn’t been as active lately but she has some great stuff in her back catalogue!
✨ @creativepawsworld -> masterlist <- I’m quite new to Scarlett’s wonderful work but I’m so glad we crossed paths because she’s great! Especially check out her young 90s Cillian story (another I need to catch up on 🤦🏼‍♀️).
✨ @missymurphy1985 -> masterlist <- one of the OG’s of the Cillian writing world, and although she is no longer producing new works, I cannot recommend her back catalogue highly enough. One of the first writers I started reading when I joined as a lurker 🤭
EDIT: Since Oppenheimer lots of new people have started writing for Cillian. Below are just a few of them.
✨ @mypoisonedvine -> masterlist <- jd writes some of the best one shots I’ve come across for such a big range of Cillian characters (including himself). She only just started writing for him in July and has already (as of 6 sept) written over 100k words for him! Word of warning though, lots of her stories are DARK AF so please read the warnings and engage only where you’re comfortable. It’s your job as a reader to curate your consumption.
✨ @burnyouwithacigarettelighter -> masterlist <- another newbie to the Cillian world and I would never have guessed she’d only just started writing smut! Check her out!
✨ @floralcyanidee / @floralcyanide -> masterlist <- her main is currently shadowbanned so adding both accounts here. Great smut and a lovely new find for the Cillian collection!
I’m sure I’ve forgotten people and if I have, I’m sorry guys, it’s not deliberate! I’m just stupid! 🙈 Please do feel free to add yourself or your friends to this list and help an anon out finding some quality Cillian content 🙌🏼 xx

Cillian Murphy x Actress!Reader Blurb
word count: <200
warnings: just some jealousy
below the cut! not edited (:
masterlist
“Who’s this?”
Cillian snakes his arm around your waist, gripping your hip protectively. You turn to him looking a little surprised, “This is my old co-star.”
“I’m Cillian, their husband. Nice to meet you,” Cillian flashes a smile at your co-star, who is fairly attractive- personality and look-wise.
“Nice to meet you, too. I’ve heard a lot about you,” the co-star says politely.
“Good to know,” Cillian says jokingly, but his arm around you tightens.
“Well, I’ll see you around?” your old co-star asks, a little visibly uncomfortable with the amount of smiling Cillian is doing.
“Sure,” you smile gently, putting a hand on their arm as they turn to leave.
“You could’ve been a little less creepy,” you purse your lips at your husband.
“What do you mean?” Cillia asks innocently.
“You know what I mean, Cill,” you roll your eyes.
Even though he knows you belong to him, he gets a tiny bit jealous every now and then.

Unexpected Blessing
Pairing - Cillian Murphy and Reader - Not based on his real life.
Summary- Requested by Anon- The reader is an actress, married to Cillian. They worked together on Peaky Blinders, and have been married for four years. He is currently away filming in America.
Tumblr media
“And look this way,” the photographer announced to you. Lifting your head slightly, you stared at the camera. “Yeah, that’s it, look off into the distance,” he instructed you. Again, you did as he asked.
It had been a long day, and you hadn’t slept well last night. You never did, when Cillian was away. You had been asked to appear, in the Summer edition of Grazia Magazine. After seven outfit changes, you were nearly finished.
“Make up!” He yelled. “You are a little pale darling!”
“Lack of sun,” you defended, while your husband, Cillian was shooting a movie in America. You had stayed behind in Ireland. Seven weeks he had been gone. The longest you had been apart. After filming Peaky together, you had enjoyed your time off.
The make up artist applied more bronzer, you knew you looked pale. You felt washed out, unenergized. Tired all of the time. Maybe you should book a spray tan? Cheer yourself up. Why not?
“Right, one more on the chair, then we are done!” He yelled across the room.
When you eventually got home it was 9pm, luckily Scout had been walked by your friend. Tipping his food into his bowl, the smell hit you. Borking, you ran to the sink. Before you were violently sick.
Wiping your mouth, you sipped some water.“Jesus, sorry Scout,” you sighed, giving him the rest of his food. You thought the pasta you had at lunch time, didn’t taste right.
Nothing tasted the same lately. Making a tea, you let Scout out and headed up to bed. You felt absolutely exhausted.
The next morning, you woke up to Scout licking your hand. He needed to go out for a wee. Groaning, you sat up, it was 10.30am! My god, you had never slept that late. Checking your phone, you had four missed calls from Cillian last night.
Following Scout downstairs, you flicked the kettle on as you let him out. Wrapping your gown tight around yourself, you hand brushed your nipples. "Ooh," you gasped, they were sore, must be due on your period.
You had a meeting with your agent at 2pm, so quickly made some tea and toast. "Morning Cill, just woke up! Sorry I missed your calls. Miss you, Love you, xxxx," you text, not knowing if he was working yet.
As you sat and dried your hair, you still felt nauseous. Now convinced you had food poisoning. Putting on your make up, you decided you needed all of the help you could get. Still looking tired and pale.
"Hey gorgeous! That's not like you! Surprised Scout didn't jump on you. Working until 8, will call you xoxo, Love you more,"
You smiled as you read his message, climbing in your car for the meeting. Strolling into Carol's office, you dumped your bag and flopped in the chair. "Good Afternoon, you hungover?" she asked.
"No, think I have bloody food poisoning, I feel like shit," you informed her. Leaning forward, you poured some water, sipping slowly.
"From where?" she asked, handing you your schedule for the next few weeks. You noticed you had a few days off, at the end of May. Maybe you could go and visit your husband.
"The only thing I had yesterday, was the pasta at the shoot," leaning forward, you took a deep breath.
"Pasta wouldn't give you food poisoning," she laughed, "Sure it isn't something else?" Her eyebrows were raised, waiting for an answer.
"Like what? I haven't even had a drink," you defended.
"Maybe the pitter patter of tiny feet? Thought you were trying before Cill went away?" she questioned, her mind racing about how she would have to adjust your schedule.
Sitting up straight, your mind was ticking over. When was your last period? "No... surely not? I would know wouldn't I?"
Clapping her hands together, her assistant came running in. Carol scribbled a note, and handed her it. "Full discretion," she warned the young girl, as she scuttled away.
"She is going to get you some tests. Do it when you get home, and let me know," she advised you.
An hour later, you were pacing your bathroom floor. Unsure whether to take the test or not. Freaking yourself out. You had both only been trying for a few months. After you came off the pill, you had expected it to take at least a year.
No... you couldn't be pregnant. Not yet.
Scout was sitting watching you, "I know, I am freaking out for nothing." you told him. Ripping open the box, you followed the instructions and peed on the stick. Sitting on the floor with Scout, you waited the specified time.
"Shit, come on Y/n, get a grip," you sighed, standing up. The next ten seconds could change your life. Turning the stick over, you gasped.
"Pregnant," it read. Bursting into tears, you shook the stick, reading it again. It still said pregnant. Fuck, fuck, is it true? Ripping open the other box, you peed on the stick again. Still crying, blowing your nose into a tissue.
Your thoughts turned to Cillian, he should be here. Rolling your shoulders, you took a deep breath. This time there were two pink lines. "Ahh!" you screamed, jumping up and down, in tears.
The next day, Cillian was in his trailer. "Delivery for you Mr Murphy," he heard a voice outside. Opening the door, he accepted the box. Opening it carefully, he read the note.
"Call me, before you open it no matter what time, Y/n xxx,"
Chuckling to himself, he picked his phone up to FaceTime you. You were always sending him little things. He found it quite amusing.
"Hey gorgeous," he smiled as you came on the screen, it was dark there. You were in bed, "Got your parcel,"
Turning the light on, you sat up, "You didn't open it, did you?" you asked, hopefully. He rolled his eyes, chuckling again.
"Not yet, is it going to jump out at me?" Cillian asked.
"No, open it. I want to see what you think," Holding the phone closer, you had butterflies in your stomach. Would he be happy?
Picking out the piece of white material, he frowned looking at you confused. Peaky Blinders, it read across the material. "What is it a handkerchief?" he asked, wondering why you would send him that.
You started laughing, "No, it is the wrong way. Hold it properly,"
Turning it around, it looked like a bib. "Why would you send me a bib? Am I that messy?" he laughed.
"No... try again," your hands were clenched under your chin. The excitement building. For someone so intelligent, he could be so dumb.
"Babe, fuck, I don't know," he held it up again. "For babies?"
"Yes, you would use it for babies," you nodded, "So why would I send you that?"
Putting the bib down, the penny dropped. "No fucking way!" he shouted, instantly looking at the door. Security were stood outside. "You.. You are, are ya pregnant?"
"Yes," you sniffed, starting to cry again.
"Really? Fuck... Really?" he had tears in his eyes, "When? How?"
"I think you know how," you giggled, "I only found out yesterday. I've been feeling sick and so tired,"
A huge grin spread across his face, "Babe, honest I am so fucking happy." He picked the bib up again. "Shit, I can't believe it. I love you so much, Y/n,"
“I love you too, and this little baby,”

The Photoshoot (Part 43)
Cillian Murphy
Series Master list 2014 , 2015
After it took me way too much to continue this story, here it is finally! I went a bit back in time to remember why I fell in love with this series and also changing a bit the plot I imagined in the beginning helped me, your thoughts are highly appreciated.
📸 Photoshoot by Willy Vanderperre for Another man magazine (Fall/Winter) // I LOVE this photoshoot but I’m dividing it into two parts, this is the first one…
Tumblr media
Clicking on the shutter and Yael looked over her husband, erm client. Right now they could only have a professional relationship as they were shooting for Another Man magazine for the Fall/Winter collection, the edition would be released in October.
“Look at the floor for me please. Relax your shoulders.” If only she could relax herself.
Tumblr media
The stylist fixed his hair and smoothed his skin with a translucent powder between shoots.
But after snapping a few more photos, Yael exhaled loudly realizing nothing she could do would change the result she was getting in camera. Cillian’s eyes spoke volumes, they couldn’t lie to the camera, even though his energy was positive all the time and he was chatty and all smiles with the team, once he positioned before her, she was able to see the sadness in the depths of his blue eyes, the disappointment.
But this wasn’t his fault, she knew it was the situation they were going through.
Before their trip to her hometown, they got a phone call to cancel their appointment with a fertility doctor, he was heading out of Ireland for a congress and holidays for almost a month, so their plans to start working on IVF as an option was soon discarded.
Unfortunately, the adoption process they started right away was slow and bureaucratic, they still haven’t heard anything back from the office, they needed to book an interview, an appointment and a million other things.
“Can we take a five minute break please?” Yael called out, admitting this wasn’t going as she would like.
“Babe, what’s the matter?” Cillian approached her quietly as the rest of the people left the room.
“I don’t like how this is turning out.” She looked down, touching the strap of the camera to distract herself.
Cillian was confused, was he doing something wrong?
Taking the camera in her hands, she scrolled through the images, zooming into his face.
“You can’t lie to the camera Cill, your eyes are a window into your heart… your soul. And all I can see in there is sadness. I know you’re trying to be strong for me for what we’re going through but I can’t bare it to see it embodied, right there in the surface.”
Cillian looked into the photographs Yael took of him, realizing she was saying the truth.
Tumblr media
This was too deep for her, this was the very same man she slept with every night, the one offering her comfort when she needed it the most, the one loving her when she didn’t feel at her best. Of course she could see into the deepest layers.
He was an actor, but there are things he still couldn’t do. How could he fake a smile and put on a good face to the camera when deep inside he was hurting just like his wife? He felt with his hands tied because no matter how much he wanted, they needed help to have a baby and the path was rocky and it made him feel useless to know how sad it was for her.
“If we’re both not into this, we should cancel the photos.” He suggested, hands planted firmly on his hips.
Yael looked at him, both relieved and worried.
“But they asked you to do the photos, perhaps someone else can do the photosho-”
“No.” He interrupted her immediately. “I want you to take these photos.”
“I tried but this doesn’t feel good, my mind and my heart are not here right now.”
“Let’s reschedule then…” taking her hands in his, Cillian stroked her skin with his thumb.
“This is important, we can’t do that.”
“You are the leader of this photoshoot, you can ask to reschedule, we can do this later since we’re staying over.” Cillian proposed again now cupping her face in his hands, to make her look at him. “Let’s focus on Noah’s christening ceremony and then we can think of doing this after that, yeah?”
Yael allowed herself to get lost in his eyes for a few seconds before nodding.
“Thank you for understanding.”
Cillian winked. “Oh this is just my evil plan to take you to the lake house a day earlier, to have you just for myself.”
That made her laugh, he was always looking for a way to lighten the mood.
“I’m going to let the team know, you can get changed here if you want.” Yael touched his chest before leaving the room in the studio she had rented for the photoshoot.
Before she could take one more step, her husband stopped her by the waist, making a Yael face him to steal one quick kiss. “I know you can do a remarkable work, take your time.”

“It’s been a while since we’ve been here.” Cillian took a look around the apartment, Yael’s mother, Isla was kind enough to get someone to clean the place and left a bouquet of fresh flowers and hot homemade dinner for them in the stove.
Scout immediately stormed into the couch, tired from the travel to Manchester.
“It’s a shame we haven’t use it a lot.” Yael admitted after taking the bag to their bedroom. They had been most of the time in Ireland and after everything they’ve been through this place was the last thing in their minds.
“Come here.” Cillian pulled his wife into his arms.
He knew first hand how Yael had been feeling when the doctor they choose to help them with their journey to try IVF had to cancel their appointment due to a congress in another city, that’s when they made the decision they would start the adoption process, after talking and thinking a lot through it, they made the decision to start the process taking everything into consideration. It was a few days ago but they still haven’t heard anything back.
“Are you alright?” Cillian whispered feeling a small glimpse of relief as his wife relaxed in his embrace.
She nodded against his chest. “Yeah, it’s just a lot to do with the Photoshoot and Noah’s christening.”
Cillian closed his eyes while her sweet scent filled his nostrils. Sliding his hands down, he found what he was looking for.
“You use any excuse to touch my bum.” Yael laughed against his neck, but didn’t move, she simply loved the feeling of his arms around her.
In response, Cillian squeezed it tightly without hurting her. “Can’t help it. It’s so touchable.”
That made her laugh uncontrollably against his chest, he definitely knew how to cheer her up no matter what.
“Sorry to burst your sexy bubble Mr. Murphy, but Lee-Anne is coming to help-” and the doorbell to the apartment rang in that very moment. “There she is.”
Cillian offered her a little pout just as Scout started to bark intensely at the door.
“Later.” Yael promised her husband with a wink.
After the mandatory welcome for the time they’ve spent apart, they all started to set the table. Dinner was terrific and thy didn’t really have to guess a lot, they knew it was Bryan’s famous recipe, he loved to cook and prepared some really good dishes, he had learned it from the best as he spent a most of his summers with his grandparents who owned a restaurant.
“Is Dean punished or what?” Cillian asked sipping on his drink.
Lee-Anne chuckled. “No, he’s away for work.”
“But you said he’ll be back tomorrow for the christening right?” Yael was worried he wouldn’t make in on time and she didn’t want her best friend driving all the way over there by her own.
“Yeah, he’s taking the train back early.” Lee-Anne explained while getting the little thank you presents Yael asked her to buy out of the box, now they only needed to wrap them and attach the thank you for coming note.
“Great! Well, I’ll leave you ladies to this as I’m a bit useless in the Decorate-it-yourself department.” He chuckled and called for Scout.
Yael stared at him with adoration in her eyes until he disappeared into their bedroom.
“How have you been?” Lee-Anne asked measuring the light blue ribbon.
With a loud sigh, Yael arranged the bags in the basket. “Like shit.” She couldn’t lie to her best friend, they’ve known each other for so many years. “I can’t give him a baby and it’s been taking a toll on me and of course, him. But he’s stronger than me.”
Lee-Anne stopped what she was doing and walked around the table to give her friend a hug.
“You could’ve called me.”
“I know, but you’re busy with work and traveling… and I haven’t been myself lately, we were doing a photoshoot earlier and my heart wasn’t there, I don’t have the energy to do it.”
“How are you guys coping with this?”
Cillian decided to go for a walk with Scout, but he stopped mid walk behind the door as he listened to their conversation unintentionally.
“Oh, if I could nominate someone for the husband of the year that’s Cill, he’s been so patient with me, cheering me up at the first opportunity, keeping the positivism around… we wanted to start a treatment but then a series of events made me think perhaps it wasn’t the way, like when one thing after another happens and all the doors are closing? So we filled a form to start the process of adoption, but we haven’t heard anything back.”
Cillian swallowed hard thinking how many times he had heard her sobbing or thought he didn’t see her wiping away the tears in bed and he felt useless. It was breaking him to see his wife no longer passionate about her photo shoots.
“Your determination will get you what you want, you’ll see. Maybe not tomorrow, not next week, but you’ve always fought for what you want, just take a look around, how many times you said you wouldn’t settle for anything less than someone like Bryan?”
Cillian heard his wife chuckle at that. “All my life I wanted the same kind of love mum and dad have. And trust me, Cillian is a saint, I should recognize him more.”
“And you got it, what makes you think you won’t be able to adopt?”
Yael mumbled something he wasn’t able to understand.
“Hang onto the love you have for each other, take the strength from there and trust the process, I’m sure everything you’re going through is preparing you for what you want.”
“You really know how to make me feel better, don’t you?” By the sound of her voice, he could bet Yael was even smiling.
“You can take me to Ireland if you need a cheerleader.” Lee-Anne joked.
“I don’t think Dean would approve, but you can help me prepare something nice for Cill, I’ve been thinking of-” but he closed the door to not spoil the surprise, pleased to learn that at least, he had been doing a good job supporting his wife and feeling hopeful about the adoption.
***
Yael rushed upstairs to get some pins for her cousin’s dress.
“Love? Your parents are here.” Cillian entered the bedroom a few moments later. “Oh, look at this beauty.”
Yael smiled back at her husband, he was wearing a navy suit that made his blue eyes sparkle even more. “Hi handsome.” She pulled him from the tie to give him a small peck on the lips. “Stop looking at me like I’m a piece of meat.” She warned playfully noticing the lust in his eyes.
Cillian loved her little comebacks. “You’re lucky I’m no longer a vegetarian.” He ran his hands over her arms, leaving a trail of goosebumps in her skin.
“Anyone can walk in any minute.” She said but left him walk her backwards the wall, his lips nibbling on the skin of her neck.
“Love this perfume. It drives me wild.”
“Did you find the pins?” Violet shouted from the first floor and they took a step back as they heard the steps coming closer. Yael pretended to fix Cillian’s tie.
“Yes, there in the vanity.” She could feel her cheeks growing pink, Cillian on the other hand loved the danger of getting caught.
“Should I take this little one?” He offered showing Noah his hands.
“Yes, go with your godfather for a minute.” Violet passed the baby to his cousin, as she started called him.
“Let’s find some food and then I’m going to play catch the ball with one of your many uncles… you’re the ball by the way.” He joked stopping by the doorframe. “Say bye-bye to mama and your godmother.” He waved Noah’s little hand to them before they could even protest.
“It’s about damn time you start to open the fabric, huh?” Violet commented ignoring their infertility struggle behind closed doors. “You’d make cute babies you know? A little cousin to Noah to grow up with, just like we did… always together.”
Yael shook her head, trying to brush off the innocent comment, nobody in the family knew they couldn’t conceive naturally, but it still hurt her. “Let’s focus on one baby at the time, yeah? Turn around so I won’t hurt you with this.”
“I remember our mums dressing us the same as if we were sisters and throwing birthday parties here, at the cottage with everyone.” Violet held the fabric of her dress out, so Yael could fix it. “Thank you for making this for Noah and for me.”
Yael squeezed her waist, trying to hold back the tears. “Anything for you, let’s go downstairs before my brothers start throwing Noah up in the air.”
It was beautiful to have her complete family for Noah’s christening, the cottage had the power to make her live the most memorable moments. Yael looked around back yard and found her mother fixing the neck of her father’s shirt with her eyes so full of love, in response she saw her Dad smiling back at her returning the same sentiment, just like she had seen the pair since they got together.
“Here she is, my favorite sister.” Arap wrapped his arms around Yael making her giggle.
“I didn’t know you had other sisters?” She teased back.
Despite the age gap between them, they always shared a special bond, Yael found herself having and doing so many things just like her older brother.
“Let me know one of these days to have lunch before you go back to Ireland.”
“Will do, we’re doing some photos but we can arrange something.” She smiled back at him, allowing her brother to give her a small hug as a the photographer they hired walked towards them requesting to have the godmother for a candid shot.
She felt it was a bit strange to be in front of the camera, since she was usually the one taking the pictures, but she loved the feeling of the arms around her of the people she loved the most and Cillian was constantly rubbing her back or squeezing her hip in a reassuring motion.
“Oop! He’s not into me today.” She tried to open Noah’s little hand as he took some of her hair in his fist and started pulling it, as he started squirming impatiently in her arms.
Violet tried to calm him, but only her husband, Ian was able to do it.
They tried it several times with Noah’s parents, as well as the grandparents along with Isla and Bryan, but Noah simply wasn’t in the mood, he didn’t feel like cooperating or looking at the camera, he was fussy or lost looking at something on the ground.
Either way the ceremony was lovely, and the thing she loved the most was having her loved ones close, hearing them laugh and enjoy the celebration Cillian and she organized.
Later that night in the privacy of their bedroom in the cottage, Yael closed her eyes tightly as her husband sneaked his hand between their bodies to stimulate her as she was grinding against him, straddling him, trying to keep it down, which apparently was harder than she initially thought.
“So fucking beautiful.” Cillian praised looking up at her.
His eyes went wide as he looked down at himself, disappearing into her channel over and over again. As she was staring to be louder, Cillian pulled her down to quiet her moans with his mouth. Part of her family was staying over at the cottage and he’d be embarrassed if they could hear them.
The burning sensation between her legs from the movement was only adding more pleasure, but she finally exploded in pleasure when Cillian touched the magic button. Stopping her moves completely for a few moments feeling his seed coating her completely. Yael squeezed his member trying to make the stars in her eyelids last longer.
“Oh God, you left me breathless.” Yael leaned downwards, kissing his chest. Feeling his heartbeat in the process.
Cillian helped her up from him, cleaning their mess. Opening his arm then as an invitation for her to snuggle close to him.
“I saw you upset for an instant earlier.” He mumbled kissing her hair.
Yael sighed getting lost in the freckles of his chest, debating of telling him or not.
“Lisa, one of the twins girlfriend, we were talking and she said she doesn’t know how can I stand seeing you doing the intimate scenes in Peaky Blinders with a beautiful actress like Annabelle Wallis and I’ve no complaints, but it was the way she said, the look she gave me that bothered me and-”
Cillian cupped her face between his hands, running his thumbs over her cheeks. “Baby, you’ve absolutely nothing to worry about.” He looked into her eyes, words firm, feeling secure about his love. “You don’t have to defend me over anyone, don’t let this get in your head.”
“I know,” she stared into his ocean eyes knowing he was saying the truth, “it’s just the stupid words someone says gets under your skin… but I know not because you work with someone you have to have feelings for that person.”
“Why would I ever look at anyone else when I’ve got you?” His hand sneaked under the sheets to find her bum, pulling her body into his, he flipped his wife into her back without crushing her with his weight. His nose touching the tip of hers as his lips peppered her face with soft kisses.
Yael’s hand moved up from his shoulders, her fingertips running through his curls.
“You’re all I ever want.”

Reflections: Cillian Murphy’s Limited Edition
Season 3, episode 1
———————————————————————
*I am a music prof (predominantly classical vocalist), and I LOVE listening to Cillian’s music choices! That being said, sometimes I won’t like a song simply because of a vocalist (it’s a professional hazard - sorry!) 👩‍🏫
** The following are my own observations/opinions. We may not agree, and that’s ok! That’s what makes music fun! 😊
*** I wouldn’t say I’m well-versed in Cillian’s music preferences, but I do enjoy them (for the most part). I always wind up adding to my own playlists after listening to Cillian’s recommendations.
———————————————————————
And without further ado… my reflections!
🎵 Set 1 (24 Track Loop - Halleluhwah)
This seems to be all electronic music focused. He’s done entire episodes around electronic music before, so I’m enjoying the sampling. Great way to start!
I also remember him saying somewhere that he takes time creating sets of music. I appreciate that and it helps the flow and continuity so much.
Side note - it’s taken me a looooong time to appreciate electronic music, but thanks to Cillian, I now can say I like it
24 Track Loop: reminds me of the first composers to play with recorded sampling compositions in the ‘50s (Varèse comes to mind), but the “track loop” is reminiscent of early minimalist recordings in the late ‘60s, especially with how repetitive some of the sounds become.
Diskhat: yeah, I’m definitely getting ‘50s experimentalist vibes! Reminds me of John Cage’s prepared piano pieces (and honestly it may be quoting some but I’m not sure so this is a guess), but mixed with some funky grooves! As weird as this is, it’s growing on me and I kinda really like it!
Halleluhwah: nice vamp at the beginning 😎 this is definitely something that could get stuck in my head and I wouldn’t mind it!
🎤 Talking break:
I missed hearing him talk about music!!! 😊
“It’s been a minute now”
How many times can he say “back” in a 5 second time span??? 😂😅
“… very amenable to light housework.” Great! Do you think if I ask nicely he’ll come clean my house while I’m at work??? 😂
When he’s talking about the above 3 songs, the “insistency” is so true. They all have elements of a continuous underlying pulse, which is pretty common in electronic and minimalist music.
I do find fault with his term “atonality” - atonal music has no pitch center, but the pieces just played DO have a pitch center.
“Turtles have short legs - which they do!”
🎵 Set 2 (fix-Guns of Brixton)
Fix: not my favorite song, but peaceful. I neither like nor dislike
Guns of Brixton: ok but this has been stuck in my head since I heard it 😂 I really like it!
🎤Talking break:
Yes Cill, covers are so appreciated!
🎵Set 3 (Look Down From the Bridge - Pale Blue Eyes)
Look down: nice, chill. Again, not my favorite, but I don’t dislike it. Interesting instrument choices. 👍
Pale Blue Eyes: I like everything about this except for his voice. I wish I liked it, but I don’t. 🤷‍♀️ if I had to describe it, his voice sounds thin, and the voice teacher within me wants more.
These songs seem like great examples of storytelling within music, so I definitely see why Cillian likes them.
🎤Talking break:
He sounds so pleased knowing his factoids 😂😂😂 never change, Cillian!
Drella is my favorite thing now! 😂
🎵Set 4 (No No - Three Drums)
No No: why isn’t this mentioned in the track list??? THIS IS AMAZING AND I AM LOVING THE POLYRHYTHMS! I’m having so much fun rhythmically that I can’t even focus on the lyrics I have no idea what they’re saying 😂😂. ✨ This is prob my fave song of this episode. ✨
The way these songs blend into the next is so satisfying 😌
Three Drums: I like how this is a “cool down” from the craziness of No No, but also pairs really well. Nice and chill. It’s a feel good song and such a vibe. 😎
🎤Talking Break
THE TERRIBLE IDENT RETURNS!!! 😆
Sugar is a great song!
The exclusive - omg 😳😂
*whisper* exclusive
🎵Set 5 (All Your Fails)
All Your Fails: If bop is still a term, this is a bop! *dancing along* 💃 but seriously, the vocal line has so many upward leaps that it reminds me of a lot of boppy pop music. I’m digging this!
To be fair, I tend to like Broken Social Scene, so it makes sense I’m into All Your Fails.
🎤Talking Break
The way he says “woo” without any enthusiasm 😂
🎵Set 6 (It’s Love - Minor Meditations)
It’s Love: ok, I’m in love! 😍😍😍 acoustic guitar is beautiful, and I’m enjoying these harmonies.
Minor Meditations: nice segue with the acoustic guitar selections. 👍 the title is cute and punny, too! AND THE PICARDY THIRD AT THE END!!! 😎
🎤Talking Break
“… excellent! … wahoo wahoo wahoo”
🎵Set 7 (Wahoo - Where Did Our Love Go)
Wahoo: for a song with such a happy title, this was quite bluesy in terms of lyrics! And the funk and jazz bits - What a twist!!! 🙀
Girl group power!!!!!!! I love listening to artists recall how hits came to be.
Where Did Our Love Go: YES I LOVE THE SUPREMES!!!! 😍😍😍
🎤Talking Break
As much as he talks about W. Kerry, I feel like I need to go! It sounds gorgeous!
🎵Set 8 (To War - Jah Nuh Dead)
To War: this guy is playing the fire out of the concertina! 🔥
Side note - I am sooooo into traditional music! It’s one of the things I study, and many composers find inspiration from traditional music of various regions. I have such respect for the genre that I could go on, but I won’t to save y’all’s sanity 😅
Again, the transitions between songs are soooo well done!
Master Crowley’s: the drone and pedal points are so effective! The inclusion and intentional omission actually do a lot in building momentum. It’s also so cool how eventually everything fades into the background and you’re left with just sonorities, and then you go back and get a mix of everything! 💯
Jah Nuh Dead: Sinéad!!! I hadn’t heard this song before, and it’s absolutely beautiful and haunting. It takes a special person to keep you captivated and carry their own against such bare/sparse accompaniment. She has such a unique voice. She’ll truly be missed.
I’m guessing this is the Irish set 🍀
🎤Talking Break
Ya gotta love it when he fangirls over bands!
SINÉAD!!!!!!
🎵Set 9 (Fairlies)
Fairlies: so this is what happens when Irish musicians go to HOT climates? Jk jk 😂 no, I really like this. Some interesting lyrics!
🎤Talking Break
I kinda miss flip phones.
🎵Set 10 (I Am A River)
I Am A River: this is a bright song, and I mean that in terms of timbre. All the instruments and even the vocals are very ☀️☀️☀️ it definitely paints an image in your head/imagination
🎤Talking Break
No!! Don’t shut up! I love your rambles!
“Aylesbury Boy, in a kinda animated buffalo character” - what on earth does they mean??? Bullwinkle???
🎵Set 11 (Aylesbury Boy)
Aylesbury Boy: I’ll be honest, I don’t like this. It’s got a lot of funny words in it, a decent background rhythm, but it’s not my jam.
🎤Talking Break
Ok, an album of covers is a great idea.
“Stop talking. Listen to it” 😂
🎵Set 12 (Three Hours)
Three Hours: I’m really digging the backing track. It’s got some fun sound effects, but what I really like is the driving rhythm against this free-flowing vocal line. Nice contrast!
🎤Talking Break
I like how he talks more as the show goes on 😂
New content! 🙀
“Outrageously reasonable questions”
I’ll be honest, the non-advent music calendar confuses me 😅
“Cardboard aperture”
THE IDENT. OMG.
🎵Set 13 (O Barquinho - Till the Morning Comes)
O Barquinho: yep! This is bossa nova!
Till the Morning Comes: the piano and other background music reminds of Penny Lane 😂😂😂 I genuinely can’t even listen to the song properly because I keep expecting Paul McCartney to burst in with some vocals 😂😂😂😂
🎵Talking Break
Oh dear. We’ve gotten to the experimental poetry part of the show! This could be good or bad 😅
“I like jazz for the principle of what jazz is” - Nordine
Well Nordine, if that’s your stance, then I appreciate your performance of Coral for the principle of what it is, as a non-musical reinterpretation of jazz.
“A flight of musical fantasy within structure.” Ya know, not a bad definition of jazz. You do improvise over a pre-arranged chord progression, so that makes sense!
🎵Set 14 (Coral - nightclub)
Coral: not gonna lie, this is my least favorite selection of the show. HOWEVER, I will give credit where it’s due! I do appreciate that he’s got word plays, puns, and other poetic devices all over the place. That stuff mimics some of the techniques you’ll find throughout jazz. Now what’s really cool is the background music - you can hear bits and pieces influenced from different eras of jazz, such as New Orleans, swing, some bebop, and more modern stuff as well! Even though I hate it, I appreciate what it does.
Also, I first thought this song was a cheesy ad 😂😅 I definitely can tell he’s a voice actor
Nightclub: I like this a lot! Crazy how it goes from insanity to something really sweet, funny, and enjoyable. The background music is so ethereal and although a bit random, it’s great! The contradiction is like “salty and sweet” snacks. It shouldn’t work, but it does. Although I guess it mirrors some of the temporary images in the poem, like the smoke disappearing.
🎤Talking Break
Whoa. Cillian put the backing track in?! Good choice, dude!
🎵Set 15 (Remember Begum Rokheya)
Remember: ok I love this!!!! Polyrhythms galore, and the instrument pairings are so much fun! 😍
🎤Talking Break
“Approachable mellow” - does this mean there’s mellow stuff that isn’t approachable? I’d love to hear an example
🎵Set 16 (I Smile for E)
I Smile for E: I like the contrast between verse and chorus. Going from a minor key to major gives an auditory version of “smiling” nice touch! But I’ll be honest - idk why this is more “approachable” than other mellow songs 😅😂
🎤Talking Break
I’m not sure he’s saying “Hinoki” correctly. It looks Japanese to me? But idk. I’m not an expert and he’s definitely more informed than I am
“Useful music” - isn’t all music useful in some way? 🤔
🎵Set 17 (Hinoki Wood - Woman In Late)
Hinoki Wood: an interesting choice of instrument. You can tell it’s an old upright that needs a bit of maintenance, but it does have some charm.
Woman In Late: ok, so we are back to the tape loop concepts seen at the beginning of the show! Kinda cool how he’s circling back. Anyway, the “tape loop,” or looping of small lengths of recorded tape, was a thing done at the beginning of the minimalist trend in the ‘60s (think Reich or Riley) to create this fuzzy sound effect seen here. I love how you hear that influence in so many corners of the music world!
🎤Talking Break
“Delicious”
What???! The last song??? 😭😭😭
Yay! New music!
“Mind yourselves”
🎵Set 18 (Unknown Summer)
Unknown Summer: I’m digging it 😎 This has some amazing dissonant vocals and it is soooooo satisfying. I don’t like the crackle effect in the background, but it does help build this “distortion” they’re building in the song. It’s kinda fun to put that distortion against the “clear” blue skies. I see what ya did there… 😂
———————————————————————
Ah! That’s the end!!!
Thank you so much for reading all this. I honestly can’t believe anyone is interested in my rambles. Anyway, hope you enjoyed! I’ll write again next week for episode 2!

Hello! If you didn't come here from my masterlist, here is where you can read my other works!
I'm open to writing pretty much everything -- angst, smut, fluff, etc. I specialise in dark!fics and nothing is too wild here (though I reserve the right to decline requests if I don't feel comfortable writing it) but will try my best with all requests and welcome a variety.
(But I'll love you more if you send me the most twisted, filthiest shit.)
I will add or remove characters to those I write for as I feel up to it, and will cross out those who I am not currently open to receiving requests for. **(Currently only feeling inspired for writing Cill characters.)**
If you send on anon and do not hear back from me about your request in a day or two, this means I have accepted your request.
Currently only accepting MxF requests, will likely do x reader, 2nd person POV if not specified, but I can happily write from third or first person POV as well! If you'd like it specifically from one character's perspective, or whatnot, please let me know that, too.

Incorporating Pitchfork into a men’s magazine also cements perceptions that music is a male leisure pursuit, and undermines the fact that it was women and non-binary writers – Lindsay Zoladz, Jenn Pelly, Carrie Battan, Amanda Petrusich, Sasha Geffen, Jill Mapes, Doreen St Félix, Hazel Cills; the fearless editing of Jessica Hopper and then the most recent editor-in-chief Puja Patel, to name but a handful – who transformed the website in the 2010s. It also suggests that music is just another facet of a consumer lifestyle, not a distinct art form that connects niche communities worthy of close reading, documentation and, when warranted, investigation. It was Pitchfork’s Marc Hogan who reported that Win Butler of Arcade Fire – a band entwined with the site’s rise to relevance – had been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women (extramarital relationships that Butler says were consensual); Pitchfork that published writer Amy Zimmerman’s report into 10 women accusing Sun Kil Moon songwriter Mark Kozelek of sexual misconduct (Kozelek denies the allegations). I wonder whether GQ will invest resources into reports like this, to sit alongside e-commerce pieces on how “The Best Cordless Stick Vacuum Will Turn You Into a Clean Freak”, to take one current example from their culture news feed.
