[very long post featuring a food truck turned tattoo ot3 au with mentions of former gang involvement, paying off loans, and carceral system including parole]

toby, instead of a cooking school for kids, works with incarcerated people and recent parolees. eliot has history with bike gangs and didnt snitch on anyone, but he always kept clean; they could never pin anything on him except some low level nonviolent crimes. eliot went through the program while doing time. he had a little bit of savings he kept aside, plus what he made working with toby after getting out. he got a dinky used food truck with all he had.

because the truck was bought rundown but cheap, he needs to take it in a lot to the shop closest to his mcsweetens. the best mechanic they have for a truck like that is parker. when she meets eliot, she squints and asks, hey dont i know you? and eliot flips through his mental rolodex and places her: sterling your parole officer too? which shes like oh yeah! that guy sucks right? so, about your truck blah blah. (she has had a hard life, in and out of juvie and foster care growing up for general nonviolent thievery. sterling nearly had a blood vessel burst in his forehead when she told him she got a job at a mechanics shop; she just smirked at him and said that her carjacking days were when she was a minor and hence, sealed.)

eliot puts out good food consistently until eventually, he gets traction and then he gets included on a show like diners, drive-ins and dives. his food truck gets HOT to the point that he can expand to a second truck, which parker offers to help him shop for it so he doesnt end up with another clunker. eliot is like, isnt that bad for business? and parker gives him a look and thats how eliot knows its real friendship between them. he may also kinda sorta maybe be attracted to her, but hes desperate for friends and also eventually she mentions having a guy in her life, so eliot doesnt bother.

then, a few years in, it may be ambitious with two (very busy!) trucks already out, but toby is willing to put in seed money for eliot to open up a brick and mortar, where eliot can have more freedom to experiment with his menu. eliot takes him on even as parker complains that he should replace his first truck first.

her suggestion comes back to haunt eliot when the truck dies right after hes signed the lease for the building. he feels DOOM but parker suggests that he can save on interior design by using the old truck parts for decoration. for all the years of steady customer devotion, she will chop it up for just the cost of materials and even that will be at retail price. which. feels like love really really deep camaraderie right there! (i think nate and sophie are used car salespeople who also have the side hustle of selling used parts, so they are parkers source for fixing the truck plus who she brings eliot to for the second truck)

it's a big expense to replace the truck and start up the business at once, but... eliot had a vision. he takes on loans which gives him a lot of anxiety, but its okay! his businesses continue to be successful, he can make his payments, and overall, he feels settled financially. so while not everything is smooth sailing, he's just really proud of what he's done and he wants to maybe have that reflected with how he relates to his body maybe. so. to celebrate paying off one of the loans and/or hitting an important anniversary of some kind, he wants to confront the fact that hes been wearing long sleeves since hes turned his life around because he has tats from his gang and prison days. it fits a marketable aesthetic, but he wants to move on.

he knows parker has a few tattoos of various quality: random things like a herseys bar and toucan sam. but her newer ones she's got since hes known her are very good, including a stuffed bunny toy on her thigh and (lately) her favorite tools down her back. he asks for who did, and she excitedly sends him to nana divine's tattoo parlor and piercing.

looking through the artists at nana's, he comes across a photo that stops him dead. its a gorgeous photo of sleeves: from the shoulders, citrus spills looking so plump and ready to eat in vibrant yellows, reds, whites, and greens on black skin. the fruit and leaves transform into circuit boards at the person's wrists. (alec, btw, has plans for an elaborate fandom space themed back piece; he has the outline for the enterprise already. also, on his legs he gets flashes by favorite artists plus newbies at nana's parlor who need to work on people flesh)

eliot sees that while the artist he was looking at (an alec hardison) didnt tattoo those specific tattoos, he did design them for himself. they... are gorgeous. and they inspire eliot like nothing else hes seen, and alec has done similarly thoughtful designs on light skin as well, so he's versatile. he says hes willing to do cover ups AND he prefers to work on large pieces/collections, and eliot is like yes. okay. okay. perfect.

eliot makes an appointment with alec, who is just so friendly and nice. hes younger than eliot expected considering his skill, but alec has been around nana's so long as her foster kid that he's moved past apprentice early. eliot talks about himself, more than he usually does with strangers. says how he is now a chef, and he wants to get vegetables and herbs, maybe some kitchenware or even truck/engine stuff if alec needs filler.

eliot says he is thinking just the arms and upper chest and shoulders since thats the most people see, since he wants to wear tank tops. he wants alec to plan it all at once.

(alec during this first meeting is straight with him: i dont recognize a lot of these, maybe cuz youre from way out of town. I won't refuse taking you on for this, but I need to know now if any of these support fascism or white nationalism. eliot sputters absolutely not, man. the fuck. which is nice! for sure!)

this is a dream scenario for alec, who is in love with the idea and likes the challenge of including coverups as part of the plan. he works not only with eliot for reference shots, but with parker. (parker, who he met because she has gotten her recent pieces from nana and who he has settled into a FWB situation, which slowly slowly slowly is progressing into Friends With Romance as parker warms up to him at a measured pace. parker helps with the engine stuff obviously. parker is very excited to work on something for eliot, who is happy to have her involved too.)

alec gets super into drawing the map for eliot. and then during his spare time, just.... keeps going on his tablet. he makes a separate copy of the file and just doodles the rest of what would be eliots chest and his back and down to his upper thighs,, and while alec's on the legs might as well keep going. it's a masterpiece that would take years and a fuck ton of money to complete. but obviously alec would definitely not show this because that's not fair and not what eliot asked for. this is just for alec.

when alec and eliot are doing a sit down to discuss the draft on alecs tablet, eliot is like wow. fuck this is. amazing. he asks if alec can print out a copy since he's more of a paper guy, so alec calls over shop grunt bre to print it out. hes like, theres the one that's flat and a separate file that's warped to a body, make sure to get both. when she comes back and hands eliot the paper, he goes silent.

and alec is like something wrong? and eliot turns the paper over to reveal that bre accidentally printed out alecs doodles for a full body map. its... honestly, a masterpiece. there would be a garlic braid down eliots spine. across the chest would be a "statement necklace" of chefs knives. his arms carry a bounty greens that he uses for his main recipes. theres the hint of machinery but also brick peeking out from strategic places, and its just beautiful.

alec is so absolutely embarrassed and guilty and he apologizes so hard. but eliot is like. so. i'll pay you for the full design hours. ill need to work out a budget thatll be extended over time so obviously no way this can be right away, even if we could fit it all in quickly with your schedule. you should probably make sure the design works with the rest of my tats but.... fuck man, eventually i want this all. i never would have thought to ask for this but... you have time to walk me thru it all? i can come in again if... alec is like omg yes.

eliot and alec spend a lot of time together. parker, knowing her two favorite people are together, join them when she can to hang out. eventually, eliot just starts asking parker when she's free to make sure if he has a session, she can join. alec makes a group chat for coordinating that quickly becomes chaos, memes, and begging eliot to come over to alecs to cook for them before they die of scurvy.

and as i said, eliot realizes two or three years like, fuck, i... i... really like this person @ parker. he wishes it was just wanting to have sex with her but nope, he's all i wanna kiss her and cook her breakfast. BUT he values their friendship too much to follow up on those feelings. and then he meets alec, and then he meets alec and parker, and eliot spends all this time with them, and eliot falls deep. plus, he doesnt want to make alec uncomfortable with his attraction to either him or parker, so eliot just tries to bundle it all up.

but theres only so much they can play themselves. i am not sure of the exact moment things tumble over for the three, but they do. they do, and they confess. parker makes sure to tell eliot that duh, of course she wanted him. like:

parker: okay but I clearly came onto you like. Years One and Four and you just weren't interested

eliot: ....what. no.

parker: yes i did

eliot: no, you didn't

alec: i distinctly remember her checking in around that time your two's Year Four about potential open relationship stuff if there was someone she really really liked.

eliot: absolutely not

parker then reveals she had asked eliot what she should order from the food truck sometime in Year One, thinking it was a very clear sign of interest and trust, and Eliot got the trust part of it, and fed her something delicious and even created a dish after he bought the storefront that exactly suited her tastes, but no, no he did not detect """"interest"""" at that or any other time.

eliot, turning red: hey! that aint nothing! how was i supposed to know!

parker: it worked on hardison

alec: damn eliot you could have been in this (points between eliot and parker) and maybe eventually this (points between all three) years ago

parker: so sad you didnt read the very clear signs 😔

eliot: (lip twitch)

and they have fun and alec keeps working on eliots tats with parker chilling in the room. eventually, once alec is Finally Done, he brings eliot to tat conventions for awards/display, which he of course wins. by then they are all together to the point of basically being married so there's a bit of, Look At My Beautiful Babe Who I Love. (eliot cannot help but preen a little.)

eventually, eliot gets alec to sign his canvas with his initials plus parker's, since she helped and because Eliot Is Like That, and ill just let you guess where those ended up 👀

Fic Writing Review 2023 🌈

tagged by @itwoodbeprefect - i have also been thinking about this so thank you for taking the initiative!

tagging @faorism @gallantrejoinder if you'd care to do this in any form (including as writing/art review)!

Words and Fics (on ao3) 📚

words posted: 52,220, apparently. Which is actually... basically last year's but minus 10k because I didn't do H50 Big Bang this year, because med school. most things in my life now can be stated as 'because med school'. (actually I just realised I didn't do it last year either, but that was because I was already finishing a 10k H50 fic. so my point stands)

fics posted: either 6 or 29, depending on whether one counts the advent calendar as one fic or 24. plus 3 posted only on Tumblr.

first fic: love don't treat you like that (babe, I'm letting you know) (H50). on the NINTH of january, apparently. i've already lost my first-fic-of-the-year contest to last year, unless i unexpectedly finish something today.

last fic: Advent Calendar 2023 / ...Zaph Kilkane, the pre-eminent climate scientist of the 22nd century...

Top 5 Favorite Fics 💖

okay, I'm going to count distinct chapters of the advent calendar for this. in no particular order and subject to mood change:

When You're Loving Me (That's When I'm Loving You) (NCIS: LA) - I cited this as a contender for my favourite fic I've written a couple months ago, so obviously it has to go in the year's. what can i say, fake dating is an immaculate trope, and this also all came onto the page very easily which is always vaguely miraculous.

there you go pulling me right back in (H50) - sometimes vague prompts i've had down for ages write up as something that's. fine, but a bit clunky, and I just have to move on bc it's the advent calendar and a new fic each day. sometimes I start writing them and they spring into life with joyous delight. or in this case, uninhibited grumpiness and love.

singing yesterday's songs wishing i could be with you tonight (MASH) - the one that didn't make it into the top 5 kudosed, I assume partially due to being locked and partially due to being a serious tone, not terribly shippy, and Peg POV. But I've had some version or other of it for a long time, it's one of those stories I'm genuinely proud of, and I was glad to finally post it.

Totally Normal (Due South) - it's fun. it was fun. I was slightly nervous about it, because the only prior Due South thing I'd written was Dief POV and this was Fraser and RayK POV and the first time writing either of those, but it turns out watching + liveblogging four and two seasons, respectively, of a character in four months is. enough to cement their voices in my head. it was unexpectedly easy and also. fun.

Festive Spice (MUNCLE) - i just think it epitomises the advent calendar. in the words of coolbreezemage, 'yesssss bake cakes and kiss your partner'.

HMs:

Finding A Cure In You (S&H) - this doesn't make it to the above list due to the fact that I haven't actually managed to reread it since I posted it. but just for the amount of time I spent with it, how different it is to my usual M.O. of writing, and the weird way I wrote it (entirely in the notes app, with almost zero rereading while writing), I have to somehow mention it.

A Thousand Words / To Be Spared (Good Omens) - I don't know if they're favourite but I do think they're good. and the format of to be spared was pleasingly experimental and i think it worked.

Projects for 2024 👀

mmm gonna sort this differently and also ramble

Ones that will definitely be finished in 2024 and if they aren't you have free rein to come to my house and tie me to a chair come November: MUNCLE wip, The Unwitting Truth Affair/The Honesty Affair, I haven't actually decided which title yet;

Starsky & Hutch, the still-unnamed Huggy & Pete wip.

Ones I have both hope and some amount of faith will be finished in 2024 and if they aren't you have free rein to come into my inbox and harass me about them: Hawaii Five-0 wip, Much Ado About Something (*salutes squares*);

other Hawaii Five-0 wip, state of disrepair. yes, I'm manifesting state of disrepair 2024. probably november/december 2024, but i'm manifesting it anyway;

Leverage wip, all that I want is a kind heart to haunt

Ones I would like to be finished in 2024, and if my brain decides it likes them might be, but all you have free rein for is to politely ask me about them once per business month: Hawaii Five-0 cath/steve/danny pwp, Wait A Minute Let Me Take You There;

horny S&H wip, Previews Of Your Body Driving Me Insane;

S&H Vanessa coda, so cordial / so rotten (don't ask me);

Good Omens wip, love won't you be as you've always been

Ones I don't expect to finish in 2024 but would like to get some words down in: angsty S&H wip, Relentless As The Rain;

ridiculous undercover H50 wip, Four Seasons of Love;

other ridiculous H50 wip, The Irritating, Annoying, Infuriating, (Effective) Seduction Techniques of One Steven J. McGarrett;

SPN ..wip? depending on the time limit on 'progress'?, Smells Like Turpentine.

vague thoughts: i'd like to write a full-length (for whatever value of that. the AC ones actually were full-length, especially the second one, but what I really mean is AC-independent) due south fic. they're very weird and i enjoyed writing them, and I'd also like to write something with RayV in it. maybe if I successfully inspired @itwoodbeprefect to write new ds, when she does that it will inspire me to write something, and we can set up a ping-pong game. no, wait, that's mixing fandoms.

I expect more MUNCLE fic. this one's already 3.5k and rocketing along, and i'm only two-thirds of the way through season 1. what form that will take i don't know at this stage but we'll see.

....i was discussing the vague concept of house/h50 crossover fic with squares literally yesterday and on the one hand I haven't written a crossover since 2014 and also don't want that to be my legacy, but on the other hand i think there is at least a 50% chance it's going to stick in the back of my brain and keep niggling.

[suddenrundown]

@leverage-ot3 tagged me in this ask game! (thaaaaanks :D)

Star Sign(s): *meme voice* you guys got more than one star sign? i just know im a pisces lol

Favorite Holidays: I think probably thanksgiving

Last Meal: i had a frozen pizza a little bit ago. 'twas pretty good.

Current Favorite Musician: good ol' carly rae jepsen. what a queen.

Last Music Listened To: looking at spotify it was crj lol (specifically cut to the feeling) but i was listening to my 2023 wrapped playlist which is not made up of all carly rae jepsen, if you can believe lol. but she is there quite a bit!

Last Movie Watched: I watched Rye Lane with my roommate! I didn't get to finish it cuz i needed to go to bed since I had to get up early for work the next morning, but I'm gonna go back to it! it's very good :D

Last TV Show Watched: Fully sitting down and watching something? Our flag means death, I think?? I feel like I must have watched something since that ended but I can't think of anything. I did skip around a few scenes from specific leverage episodes for writing reasons, but that probably doesn't count lol

Last Book/Fic Finished: Officially the last actual book i read was the lies of lock lamora. Haven't read anything since because I quit the book club i was in (did you know you can just leave things? if it sucks hit da bricks) but that was a good book. last fic was how do we turn on the light which is a aziraphale/crowley fic by moonyinpisces on ao3. its super good (if you like go you should read it!!)

Last Book/Fic Abandoned: Ancillary Justice (also for that book club).

Currently Reading: I'm not currently reading any books but I am reading that aforementioned go fic!

Last Thing Researched for Art/Writing/Hyperfixation: Lol i googled if there was such a thing as a window opener and what that looked like. I wouldn't call that research but I don't have a better answer!

Favorite Online Fandom Memory: I think the time I got @faorism invested in my heartsong au and then they made a whole fic for it. faor is truly a treasure in the leverage fandom. also the response i got when writing as whole as we could be was overwhelmingly lovely <3

Favorite Old Fandom You Wish Would Drag You Back In/Have A Resurgence: uh. well. i kinda wish we could get the fandom we had for leverage back?? i understand why the people that left it did and totally support it, but i miss the community and the different corners of it. i think people obv still post about and create things for leverage but not to the extent that we had before. such is life though!

Favorite Thing You Enjoy That Never Had an Active or Big "Fandom" but You Wish It Did: i think i could probably give the same answer for this as the last question, honestly. in some ways its nice to be small though :) OH maybe the toby daye series?? idk if there is much of a fandom for it and i just dont know about it lol that is quite possible.

Tempting Project You're Trying to Rein In/Don't Have Time For: good lord. come back and haunt me. im fucking trying out here dude! im trying so hard lol

ok i shall tag some people but if you see this and dont see yourself tagged and think "i wanna play too!" well consider yourself tagged, whether we are mutuals or not. and if you are tagged directly, no pressure at all <3

[praesaepe]

@faorism (oh boy. love tumblrs @ing system sometimes L M A O) that’s fair reasoning! ive just been a huge fan of character study/soulmark and your writing is just really good, so it came as a surprise to me when i realized that your fic wasnt bigger haha (especially considering it’s soulmark, like, everyone loves soulmark). still, im very happy to be in that little “squad” and get hype about your writing! and i will continue to point people that way because you just get jesse so well and really do take that time to really make sure you accurately represent the aforementioned triggers and the like. that kind of careful, respectful writing is something i strive for myself and hold in high regard :)

[schrijverr]

1, 25, 27 :))

1. favorite fic you wrote this year

Oeh, that's hard one I wrote so much, lmao. But I had a lot of fun while writing Eliot's High School Reunion, so that one certainly, just because it was a delight. And Promises You Made to Me is also very dear, bc the writing style was a challange and bc I cried while writing it lol

25. favorite fic you read this year

simple machines and hold on to me by @coffeesuperhero like if you want to have feels about Eliot and cry and go through the whole spectrum of all the feels with OT3, check these out, because holy fuck they're so good!! Especially simple machines came to me at the right time whe I was going through queer shit TM and I'm really thankful for it <3

27. favorite fanfic author of the year

Well, as you can probably guess by the answer before coffeesuperhero certainly, but I got into Leverage a lot and I have enjoyed a ton of works from @eliot-wolfgirl-spencer @onyxbird @faorism @kerkerian @suddenrundown and practially anyone in the Leverage tag (i props forgot peeps and im so sorry), it was a very Leverage year XP

And if I have to be honest, myself. I'm the person who reads my own fics, because they're specifically catered to me lmao and they hit right every time ;D

17 Birthdays and More - 12.3k, single chapter author: purple_anonymous fandom: Boku no Hero Academia pairing: Bakugou Katsuki/Midoriya Izuku

Bakugou had called all of them for an emergency meeting. Together. And Eijirou and the rest of the class are currently staring at him like they’ve entered some alternate universe where everything’s the same except Bakugou willingly called for an emergency meeting with the whole class of 3A.

Well, almost everyone.

That was also a surprise and another warning of the end times probably...

Because Izuku Midoriya wasn’t here as a result of Katsuki Bakugou’s stubborn pettiness even amidst a probable apocalypse prevented him from inviting his rival, no…

No, Midoriya wasn’t here because the meeting was about Izuku Midoriya.

Izuku Midoriya’s birthday, to be exact.

“What the..?” Eijirou said after a while, beginning to speak Bakugou’s language because everyone else was confused with a dash of fear into silence.

“What?” Bakugou drawled like they didn’t just enter the twilight zone. “Are you all deaf?”

 Or, A Secret Relationship fic, a birthday fic that's months late and a fic that might make you feel a little too much, all wrapped up in one and narrated by Red Riot himself.

A Father’s Perspective - 9.6k, single chapter author: Kalira fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender pairing: Sokka/Zukko

A Forget-Me-Not Morning - 1k, single chapter author: charliebrdcherry fandom: Detroit: Become Human pairing: Hank Anderson/Connor

Hank Anderson. Sorry – Lieutenant Anderson. Hard-boiled detective of age fifty-three that doesn’t get along with his colleagues at work or half of the neighborhood, yells at birds on the street to move out of the way when he’s driving and sends postcards to his next-door neighbor to tell him to keep his damn water hose off at night – no, a big goddamn softy at heart.

a house made a home - 1.2k, single chapter author: todorokitops fandom: Boku no Hero Academia pairing: Shigaraki Tomura/Dabi/Hawks

His eyes skip over their comfortable position, an excited smile quirking at his lips. “So I take it we’re cuddling today?”

Dabi shrugs, best as he can with Tomura still latched around his body. “Well, Handyman here decided to choose today to be more of a clingy bitch than usual, so it’s not like we got much choice.”

*

In which Tomura wants attention, and if that means he has to sit directly on Dabi's lap to get some, then so be it.

A Life of Bliss - 652, single chapter author: tobiosbae fandom: Haikyuu!! pairing: Iwaizumi Hajime/Kageyama Tobio

Hajime laughs when he hears Tobio yell, “Is it done yet?!” He answers back with a firm no. God, he thinks, I love that impatient idiot. He gets to work because he knows damn well that Tobio’s going to ask again, but it’s fine.

He loves Tobio, even though he’s an impatient piece of shit.

a long December - 7k, single chapter author: blackeyedblonde fandom: Detroit: Become Human pairing: Hank Anderson/Connor

If he’s meant to trust his gut, there’s no reason Sumo should’ve growled. The dog stands at his heels now, quiet but alert.

“Connor?”

A Trip to the Museum - 2k, single chapter author: Tinyvocaloid fandom: Animal Crossing pairing: CJ/Flick

All I Want Is You - 1.6k, single chapter author: alec_rhee fandom: Red White & Royal Blue pairing: Alex Claremont-Diaz/Henry Fox-Mountchristen/Windsor

Henry, your package has been delivered.

He’s been waiting weeks for this notification. Realistically, he knows it’s only been a week or so since he made this order, but he’s been waiting so impatiently for it to arrive and it seemed to take forever to get here.

He runs up the spiral staircase of their brownstone home, he knows Alex will be home any minute from class, but he just has to look at how it turned out. He sits on the chaise in the bedroom and tears the plastic sleeve and there it is: a bandana for his beagle, David. The material is super soft and is a combination of colors: red, white, and blue. The words on the bandana is in a classic cursive font. The words displayed on the piece of cloth make him feel giddy: Will you marry my daddy?

All the Stars Are Closer - 2.3k, single chapter author: Boxstorm fandom: The Witcher pairing: Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier

"Come with me to Oxenfurt," Jaskier had said, tucked up against Geralt's chest in the moments before their parting for the winter.

"I can't," Geralt had replied, tightening his arms where they wrapped around Jaskier's shoulders in silent apology.

"Just for a day or two," Jaskier had insisted, pulling back just enough to look Geralt in the eyes, and giving him that hopeful look that they both know Geralt is unable to deny, "Please."

The pass to Kaer Morhen would not remain open for much longer, but faced with Jaskier's bright blue eyes, pleading for something that Geralt could so easily give, he had relented.

Jaskier's smile as he'd been pulled in for a gentle, acquiescing kiss had been worth whatever he might find on a late return to Kaer Morhen this year.

All the ways to say I love you - multi-chaptered, complete author: imaginary_dragonling fandom: Haikyuu!! pairing: Iwaizumi Hajime/Kageyama Tobio

“And where do you think you’re going?”

Iwaizumi turns around in time to see Kageyama whip around like a started colt, guilt flashing across his face. The expression is fleeting, quick to disappear into the determined crease between Kageyama’s eyebrows, the familiar downturn of his lips.

Iwaizumi tries not to smile.

Hinata absentmindedly brushed his hand by his eyes, a small frown etched on his lips, and his fingers went to wrangle through his orange curls. His eyes were glazed over, looking at the floor but not really seeing it. The expression looked so foreign on Hinata, and Tobio wanted nothing more than to wipe it away with just about anything.

"What's wrong, dumbass?"

"Kags," Hinata glanced at him, "Is there something wrong with me?"

Kageyama wasn't expecting that.

Or...

Hinata gets really self conscious about how he looks-- and it's not even about his height this time.

They stared down at the city lights below, dotted along the sidewalks and blurring by with passing cars. There was another hotel right across the street, and although most of the windows were dark, a scattered few glowed. Osamu wondered if the people inside were sitting awake too.

“Osamu.”

He turned his head and Suna was there, waiting. His mouth found Osamu’s and his lips were a little cold. Suna kissed him, and Osamu forgot about the tournament, about winning, about everything. It didn’t seem as important here on the roof, holding Suna’s hand and sharing a wind-chilled kiss.

Suna pulled away, and Osamu said, “We should tell ‘em.”

Suna sighed and slouched a little further over the rail. “How about… after the tournament. After we win, we’ll tell them. Everyone will be so happy that they won’t care what we’re doing.”

“Okay,” said Osamu. “When they give us the trophy, I’m just gonna kiss ya right there in front of everybody. That’ll be us tellin’ ‘em.”

“I don’t believe you,” said Suna. There was a spark in his eyes, a little amused, a little daring. “Prove me wrong.”

Maybe it was something new, or perhaps something old. Maybe it was the fact that he had lived alone for the majority of his life with no solid parental figure. Maybe it was because the corner shop ran out of his favourite milk and that had pushed everything to the edge.

Kageyama wondered if Hinata walked past the sweet shop with such pining in his eyes everyday, and was distracted by the way Hinata sucked on his fingers to get the sugar dust out.

The Art of Subtlety - 3.6k, single chapter author: aresmisia_HQ fandom: Haikyuu!! pairing: Hinata Shouyou/Kageyama Tobio

It's not too bad, and Shouyou admits, there's a different kind of thrill being involved in a secret relationship. It's in the little, knowing smiles they give each other; Kageyama's lingering touches when he ruffles Shouyou's hair, fingers lightly tracing his ear when he retracts his hand; the constant roughhousing and bickering done mostly as an excuse to touch without raising suspicion; sleeping against each on bus rides, their hands linked and hidden out of sight under their jackets and bags. Once or twice, they get away with stealing small kisses when they're absolutely sure everyone is asleep.

Maybe they're not doing so well with the no touching or kissing rule but holding back has never been in their forte in the first place.

Keeping his romantic relationship with his supposed rival a secret has been a great struggle for Hinata, but Kageyama is there to help him through it. Or make it even more difficult.

The Bed (Where We Rest) - 3.1k, single chapter author: Brookelocks fandom: Naruto pairing: Haruno Sakura/Uchiha Sasuke/Uzumaki Naruto

The center of their bed is definitely the softest spot, it has the most give and seems to mold itself to your body. But that isn't what makes it his favorite spot, no, the best thing about being placed between Sakura and Naruto is the physical contact. The way that Naruto's chest is plastered to his back, the blondes nose pressed gently into Sasuke's neck, strong arms wound around his waist. The way that Sakura traces soft patterns across Sasuke's chest as she falls asleep, how her legs tangle with his beneath the covers, when she nuzzles into his shoulder while muttering softly, how her hair tickles his nose and he can faintly smell the floral shampoo that is just so Sakura. How he can feel Naruto's heart beating against his back, how he becomes aware of every breath Sakura takes as she exhales into his skin.

Just a bunch of little snippets about bed sharing.

I looked at this both including the advent calendar chapters as separate fics and not, and interestingly there was a much higher proportion of dialogue first lines in the advent calendar. Which probably just speaks to that being my comfort zone when I'm writing 1000 words per day, but I'm going with not-that as a better representation of my considered writing.

3.) technically June 1966, but in an actual sentence: “Erin, come get your jacket!” Peg calls over her shoulder as she jogs up the stairs.

4.) The thing about House is, he doesn’t say anything.

5.) The second time they sleep together, Hutch asks, “What do you want from me?”

6.) Callen sees Ilyse the moment he opens his door, and almost shuts it again and resolves himself to living the rest of his life indoors.

7.) It’s Danny that drives Steve to the hospital when they get back, because SEAL Team Nine immediately disperse to wherever SEAL teams go when they’re not SEALing, and Joe is patching up the others at HQ, and because, well, of course it’s Danny that drives Steve to the hospital.

8.) Danny’s pulling idly on Steve’s earlobe one evening when he asks, “What’re these?”

9.) An expanse of stars spread out before Jim’s gaze, the deceptively thin material that curved around a full wall of the viewing deck barely visible unless one focused on it, and certainly not obstructive of the view.

10.) “Hey, help me hang this photo,” were, Danny thought, innocent enough opening words.

I think the main takeaway from this is that I have a propensity for dropping readers straight into the middle of the action, which I did know - I'm surprised by how short a lot of these are, though. Also, I clearly feel the need to establish characters and probably POV straight away. There's a character name in all of these, 9/10 include the POV character's name (4 is the exception), and half of them start with a character name. There's two questions (5 & 8), which probably means nothing but is fun.

I'll tag @pterawaters @faorism @gallantrejoinder and anyone else who'd like to do it and tag me as tagging them!

wip request from @redgoldblue

at least almost close to worthy (from my daemon au, pre-ot3)

Eliot drops the pretense of stretching and sits up in one fluid crunch. He stares down Hazel as if her presence offends him. "Cecropias are unique. Known." That's decently true. Hazel takes her form after the biggest moths in North America. Beautiful things for their size and burnt sienna coloring, and for the breathlessly short adult lifespans: three weeks. "It's easy to—" Eliot waves to his phone in frustration. "There's videos. Life cycles."

"What's that got to do with—"

"Missed you, alright?" Eliot shouts. Disgusted with his outburst or the admission itself, he growls deep in his chest and jumps up, pulling up the yoga mat with him. Rolling it up, he repeats himself: "I fucking missed you."

Maybe Hazel has been spending too much time with Jack-and-Parker and therefore also T'Pris-and-Hardison because her reflexive response was a quip. Except any quip wouldn't feel as such between her and Eliot because they aren't like that, not no more. And it's also a quip dragged through the mud with the weight of history between them and the flint spark of Hazel's bitter anger.

Because what gave Eliot the right to miss her when he abandoned her.

They were twenty-eight when Eliot decided he didn't want Hazel no more so he walked away. Twenty-eight when he left Hazel with Toby and his iguana Daisy, too much of a coward to say goodbye, or knowing that if he didn't have half a day's head start, nothing would have kept Hazel away trying to track him down.

Hearing Eliot had the gall to miss her… Looking up facsimiles of Hazel and her sprays of antenna and her furry body and the slow beating of her wings…

Seven years is a long time.

Too long for a human to be away from the daemon.

Too long for a daemon to be alone.

Seven years of not knowing if Eliot was well, if he was sad, if he was up to no good, if he was in it in a real bad way, if he had someone to take care of him…

Hazel didn't have a picture of Eliot when the pain got too bad.

Seven fucking years.

Hazel quips. She quips at Eliot looking up videos of her nondaemon kin to manage their separation but there's too much between her and Eliot so there's a sharpness to her crass, "Kinda of pornographic, no?" that meaning to or not, is gonna cut ugly and mean.

[preview of upcoming parker pov fic with cw for history of being an unhoused child & having food issues; this is admittedly pretty late in the fic so somewhat spoilery for her character progression in it, but i wanted to let this breathe on its own after all the grumpy meta posting i did recently]

The thing about being a runaway on the streets is that it is endlessly boring the first couple of days. The boredom stays there always but eventually it numbs you. It makes time weird. It also becomes a relief, in some ways, because otherwise you just get obsessed with your body. That's usually where your attention ends up, so you are always busy then. If you're cold or hot, you mess with your layers. If you smell, you are aware of it, and you wonder what will come first: a shower or your nose breaking. If someone gives you the evil eye, you gotta move while losing their trail. Still, it's all a distraction.

A distraction from the hunger.  

Parker tried to combat it. She raided the kitchen and made ham and cheese sandwiches even though she hated ham; it's all they had. She gave herself food poisoning, not realizing the ham would go off without refrigeration. Then she tried PB&J. It worked better, but she was grossed out by how the jam seeped through the white bread over time. Eventually, she figured out it was more efficient to pack the jar of peanut butter and a spoon, since protein is hard to come by. Jam is a luxury, and bread is easy to pocket if you don't mind squishing it. Parker ate a lot of Skippy as a kid. It took until Eliot's handmade brittle for her to eat it without gagging.

She has all this knowledge. All this experience. Some of it can be shared. Some of it will always be useful. 

But Eliot cooks for her or orders in; he claims he refuses to let his partners lose their teeth to scurry, but Parker knows he just likes to do nice things for them.

Hardison maintains their grifting wardrobe with fun costumes in all their sizes. Outside the con, Hardison always checks the weather app, and he warns Parker when there's gonna be a shift to layer up or down for.

Sophie taught her that with a big enough mental catalogue, Parker could apply expressions she knew to strangers, which could help her out in situations. 

Nate gave her a never ending adventure: a purpose. Then encouraged her to lead. She does it differently than him—brings in her partners more into planning sessions than Nate ever did—but this is hers. This works.

Parker is rarely bored, now. She's got a life. A good one. One she's proud of. One she couldn't imagine when she was young, shivering and alone.

It's a good feeling. Not just surviving. Not even just living.

But thriving.
