[misssophiachase]

For @klaroline-events​ KC Bingo - “Flower Shop” On FF and AO3

Who says the customer is always right? 

You Don’t Bring Me Flowers

“She told me I never give her flowers,” he huffed. “How was I supposed to know that was a thing?”

“Who would have thought that giving someone flowers was a thing,” she shot back wryly. “You’re really asking the owner of this type of establishment that question?”

“You know what I mean,” he insisted. “I can’t do anything right hence my impromptu trip to what is, I’m sure, a very fine establishment.”

“Well, you’re here, so that’s a start,” she murmured. “And as much as I’d love to discuss the merits of giving flowers versus not giving them, it’s sort of busy in here right now so...”

“Oh of course, my apologies,” he replied, shelling over a wad of notes for his purchase. 

“How about a card?”

“Why do I need a card? It’s not like she won’t know who they’re from, right?” 

Caroline had to resist the urge not to roll her eyes at a customer. If this guy was her boyfriend she’d have dumped him by now. Who was she kidding? She never would have gone out with him in the first place. 

Yes, maybe he was kind of attractive with those untamed, blonde locks, short stubble that demanded to be touched and lips the colour of her favourite primrose. But he clearly had no idea about how to be a decent human being. 

Call her traditional but Caroline loved flowers and the generous act of giving them, hence why she started her own business five years earlier. 

Wild at Heart wasn’t big compared to some shops but what it lacked in size it made up for in its artistic bouquets as well as its warm ambience from the freshly baked, pumpkin scones in the adjoining cafe to her friendly staff. Well, except when Katherine was in a bad mood or hung over.

“A card is an accompaniment to the flowers and allows you to properly convey your message.”

“There’s definitely a message I’d like to convey but not sure it is very card friendly, if you know what I mean?”

Caroline was incredibly curious at his response and had to bite her tongue from responding. The obvious question being why he was buying flowers in the first place? But she could see the long line up of impatient customers behind him and knew they wouldn’t appreciate her views on the matter.

“If that’s the case, I think it’s best we just stick with the flowers.” 

Caroline wondered about his choice of flowers too. Most men, who had no idea about flowers, went straight for the roses. Beautiful, yes, but they were a safe option. Mister Sunshine, however, had chosen the namesake at the heart of her shop.

It was a combination of wildflowers. A mixture of Lavender, Daisies, Forget Me Nots and Queen Anne’s Lace to name a few. Although they were her absolute favourites, it was usually the last bouquet to sell in a day. Given it was only 9:09 am this was a first.

“No, I think you might have a point. So, what do you suggest I write?” She could hear the impatient groans from the people behind. 

“Look, here’s a card that says To and From,” she gestured to the plainest gift tag they had in the shop. One she only really kept on hand for situations like this. “All you need to do is insert names, easy right? Then you won’t feel the need to share opinions which might negate the positive act of giving flowers in the first place.”

A slight smile tugged at the edges of his mouth and Caroline was struggling not to reciprocate but then she remembered he was an ass. 

Before he could reply, she pushed that and the flowers towards him trying to ignore the way those crimson lips curved into a knowing smile followed by a flash of not just one dimple but two. 

“Next, please?”

27 hours later

Klaus had been standing outside the shop for a good fifteen minutes. He was debating whether or not to go inside. 

He looked down at the flowers he’d purchased yesterday, surprisingly still in relatively good condition given the way she’d thrown them at him. 

That would teach him to buy her flowers.  

Most people would take the rejection and either re-gift the flowers or throw them in the trash, Klaus, however, thought they were too beautiful for that and decided recycling was probably the best course of action. 

It had absolutely nothing to do with the beautiful, sarcastic blonde who’d sold them to him. Well, that’s what he kept telling himself.  

“Let me guess, you couldn’t help yourself and gave her the non card friendly version?” 

He turned slightly to his left, noticing the familiar blonde watering the flower pots outside the shop. He thought she looked stunning yesterday in a blue sweater, the colour of which he’d committed to memory, but today her jeans and white t-shirt combination was distracting him even more so. 

“Excuse me?”

“I couldn’t help but notice that my flowers are firmly grasped in your hand,” she noted. “If you’re looking for a refund I’m afraid...”

“Uh, no, of course not,” he stumbled. “I actually thought you might like them back.”

“I’m assuming they didn’t go down too well with...”

“Rebekah.”

“I’d apologise but given the way you were speaking yesterday I don’t really blame her for thinking you’re probably a bit of an ass.”

“Oh really? Is this how you usually talk to your customers, love?”

“Well, you’ve already paid for the flowers so I figure I’m safe.”

“You think you know me?”

“I know your type.”

“Wow, I’m a type,” he replied. “Please, tell me all about it.” 

“You did something wrong and you think buying this Rebekah flowers is going to fix everything. Unfortunately, it doesn’t always work like that.”

“What do you think I did?” Klaus was beginning to get a complex and had no idea that a stranger, albeit a beautiful one, could make him feel so guilty. 

“Something bad if you’ve still got those flowers,” she murmured, her blue eyes gazing into his intently. “Maybe Rebekah wants more than flowers, did you ever think of that?”

“How about you?”

“How about me what?”

“If I gave you these flowers, would you like them?”

“I think that’s beside the point and extremely insensitive to poor Rebekah,” she scoffed. “I think I’m starting to realise her issues with you now.”

“Rebekah is my sister.”

“Yeah sure and that guy over there is my husband.” Klaus felt his chest constrict, not realising just how disappointed he was to hear that.  

When he’d made the trip, Klaus was secretly hoping she’d agree to go out with him. He knew he hadn’t made the best first impression but he truly felt like there was something between them. 

“I’m sorry to hear that, love,” he murmured. 

“Hang on, Rebekah really is your sister?”

“Unfortunately and you’re married, so it’s probably best I take my flowers and go.”

“What exactly did you do to your sister, you know besides not giving her flowers enough?”

“Her husband is in the Army and currently stationed in The Middle East. She’s heavily pregnant and incredibly moody and apparently I haven’t lavished enough attention on her. In my defence, she’s been like this since we were children but she’s one hundred times worse now.”

“Well, that I wasn’t expecting.” 

“I’ve taken her to every doctor’s appointment even though she complained about my supposed lack of driving skills and I’ve made plenty of late night trips to the store to buy the most disgusting combinations of foods to fulfil her voracious appetite. Then I thought flowers might help but apparently they weren’t to her taste.”

“Wow, you’ve been needing to get that off your chest for a while, huh?”

“You have no idea. I love her but she drives me crazy,” he chuckled. “I’m sorry to download on you, I should really let you get back to work.”

“I’m curious, why did you pick those flowers?” He looked down at them noting the diverse array of colours and shapes. He’d found himself immediately drawn to them in the shop but not exactly sure why at the time. 

“My sister, as it turns out, wanted roses, hence the tantrum. I suppose I thought these were understated, but at the same time wild and unexpected in a really beautiful way.”

“They grow not far from here actually,” she shared. “I usually go out and pick them a couple of times a week if you wanted to come with me?” 

Was she asking him out? Klaus couldn’t believe it, his initial disappointment a distant memory. 

“Your husband won’t mind?” She gave him a wicked smile, a slight blush crossing her creamy cheeks. 

“I won’t tell him if you don’t tell Rebekah,” she teased. 

When they married three years later, the bridal party carried wildflowers Caroline had picked herself. Rebekah’s daughter Florence was the flower girl and Klaus promised in his vows to always write a card to accompany his flowers even if she knew they were from him.

Dan Watches: Star Wars: Episode II - Attack Of The Clones

Alright so I did this for Episode I which you can find here. So.. here’s my weird.. live reaction/note taking/whatever this is.. to Episode ll. 

Alright so.. Once again the opening crawl is very politicy. 

Count Dooku I think is mentioned for the first time in it and Padme becomes a Senator instead of a Queen in it.. which.. is weird. 

The Naboo ships im not sure about.. I like the design but they seem too new and clean for being a prequel. That said they are owned by royalty so i can let it slide i guess. 

“I guess i was wrong, there was no danger at all” *EXPLOSION* ffs Jeff, you couldn’t keep your mouth shut? 

Nooooooo! Not.. Cordey? Omfg that was the worst death i’ve ever seen. Terribly acted. 

Ayy it’s the Jedi avengers, no but like why is like i presume the whole or half the jedi council in this meeting? Shouldn’t they have like 1 representative? 

Yooo thats live action Barriss Offee in the back... hey girrrll ;) 

actually she’s probably supposed to be like 13 or somehting so i take that back. 

 I love just all the traffic flying by the window

YOOOO it’s my boy Jar Jar aka Darth Plagueis the Wise, don’t @ me. 

Spice mines on the moon of Naboo you say? Isn’t Spice a drug but you mine for it.. there are drug miners in Star Wars.. good stuff. 

That elevator would be terrifying. 

Obiwan just like.. LOL I fell into a nest of Gundarks.. what a character I am. .. Love him. 

Anakin like “I haven’t seen her since i was underaged master.. now i can  get my fuck on!”

ALSO ITS BEEN 10 YEARS!?

“Ani you’ll always be that little boy” *Police sirens*

Anakins a little bitch

I think Jar Jar’s ears things are much longer.. but might just be me imagining things. 

She’s not forgotten you, she said your name.. you creep. 

Heeyy look it’s your custom star wars character Zam. 

Obiwan is so sassy

Anakin is pretty creepy towards Padme. 

Those worm things are naasty

Yo tbf that was some smooth lightsabering, they were like an inch tall and right up on Padme and he didnt even hurt her accidentally. I’d have killed her there. 

Obiwan just fucking dives out the window like its nothing. Mad man. 

Zam is the worst, instead of shooting Obiwan she shoots her own damn droid. 

Damn it Anakin, he’s told you to stay away from power couplings. 

Obiwan is just gonna be like “FFS ANAKIN!” this entire movie... well.. Saga. 

I wonder how Jedi pick their robes because like some are very similar and then theres like a few that have darker leather stuff, it’s like there’s a jedi stylist or something.. Someone make that OC. 

 Amazing catch Obi. 

So Obiwan is his real name but he goes by Ben later on and then Ben Solo is named after him but shouldn’t it be Obiwan Solo? 

A changeling, she really is a custom character. 

Yoo that Twilek wasn’t stupidly thin, I’m here for Thicc Twilek. 

What species is Death Stick guy! I wanna know what he does with his life after he rethinks it

I hope it backfires and he’s like “Hey.. I could be doing so much more” and he ends up like the head of a crime family. 

She didnt even change.. so much for changeling. 

....she did when she died i take it back. 

Damn the background Jedi are ugly. 

I like how this shows that Palpatine has already begun manipulating Anakin. 

Still dont understand why Jedi see the balance being a good thing when it’s leaning heavily towards the light side right now. 

Anakin “IM READY FOR THE TRIALS!” .. you aint. You a moody bitch.

I like Padme’s dress. 

Anakin just got warned to back down because he’s being a creep. 

Omfg whats that rape face. 

Dormy or whatever her name is, better actress than Padme. 

Poncho! Cal approves. 

WOO ITS DEX!

Jawa Juice? Ew.

Wtf is the Rishi maze?

Dex suddenly went sinister at the end, why? 

Yess the librarian! She’s the best. I think she has a badass Order 66 story if im remembering correctly. 

She’s very sure about her records though.. calm down lady. 

“No droids” says the droid to the other droid. 

So i presume the head of the Jedi Council is always the one who looks after the younglings. 

Awwh the little babies and they’re all gonna get killed by Creep Vader. 

Yoda is so soft, good dad figure. Best boy. 

They elect queens on Naboo.. thats interesting. 

I love the Jedi fighter look. 

HOLD THE FUCK UP THEY DIDNT KNOW ABOUT KAMINO 

THERE WAS A FUCKING LONG NECKY ALIEN ON THE JEDI COUNCIL IN EP 1.. 

.... some bullshit. 

I should really look into Sifo Dyas

And Why are there not more Clones in Star Wars... 

Other than like.. .. spoilers for.. you know what nevermind. 

I DONT LIKE SAND! HE SAID THE THING

Anakin you creep

Why the fuck would Padme even lean in at all? He’s been nothing but a creep and she’s shown 0 interest in him at all so far. 

The Camino people are pretty chill. 

That was the first bit of actual chemistry between Padme and Anakin 

Omfg the pear, fuck off. 

Also forgot to comment but theres some clear like.. oohhhhhh moments im having with how order 66 got set up. 

Has Padme had an outfit change again?

She’s got her sexy outfit on to turn him down.. seems right. 

Her make up is a bit.. much

Sooo the force is weaker with the jedi because the light sides had it so good for so long that the force is trying to balance out and bring it back the other way, makes sense. 

It’s actually his connection to his mom that brings him towards the darkside to start.. nice. 

Padme trying to be inconspicuous is super conspicuous 

I like that the droid said okey dokey. 

YAAAAAAAAAAAAY WATTO

YAAAAY ANI SPEAKING HUTTESE

I love how Watto is happy to see Ani. 

Watto doesn’t deserve the shitty life he ended up with. 

Love some New Zealander up in my Star Wars. 

Seismic charges have such good sound design. 

Thats one hell of a missile. 

Eyyyyy it’s c3p0 it’s amazing how much i’d forgot of this. 

Tusken Raiders are dicks. They know sign language but they’re dicks. 

Even Anakin is like “These are good people”, good. They’ll raise your son. 

Is that general grevious’ voice? 

What the fuck are these aliens

Awwwh noooo she waited just to die in her sons arms. 

Tbf i’d go full darkside if someone tortured my mom. 

You know what.. this Ani is nothing like the ones from the cartoon, he seems like less of a whiney bitch in the clone wars but we’ll see.. 

Cleg Lars’ hover chair is pretty dope. 

Anakin got over hating Obi Wan real quick. 

Even captured Obiwan is a sassy boy. 

Jar Jar as badass as he is.. is basically putting the Sith Lord in charge. 

So far if you dont know that palpatine is the Sith there isnt really anything obvious telling you which is pretty interesting. 

Padme has had another outfit change, another iconic look. 

And so behind the adventures of r2 and c3po

C3PO had a costume change, he’s been watching Padme. 

The fake out they have you thinking Padme is covered in magma is pretty good

Okay then suddenly she loves him.

Also bye bye lightsaber

Genosians are pretty gross

In my head they were always the same as Toydarians for some reason

I like that bug monster, i remember killing them in one of the older battlefront games.. as maybe Aayla Sekura but maybe i made that up. 

Anakin surely got the best one to fight. He basically tames it.

The fucking peck on the cheek, was that needed? 

Droidekas are still cool as fuck. 

Suddenly Jedi. 

The Jedi that made it up to Dooku is terrible, he cant even reflect a few blaster blasts.

Well.. Jango lost his head. 

The smile on that green jedi’s face is beautiful, what a beautiful alien man. Kit Fisto.

Obiwan is an icon. 

Dooku is pretty reasonable all things considered. 

Woo clones!

“Around the survivors, a perimiter, create.” Yoda.. just speak normally damnit. 

Yoo what if Jaro Tapal shows up in the new Clone Wars cartoon season.. i’d lose my shit. 

I like Dooku’s bike. 

Anakin you dumb fuck. 

I always thought Dooku’s curved lightsaber was weird. 

Rey should have done this sick ass catching the lightning trick instead of the two lightsabers. 

Jedi flips all over the place woop. 

As obvious as it is that Palpatine is the hooded Sith, i feel like they dont show his full face because i feel like a little kid might not be able to tell. 

I kinda like how it shows a bunch of clones (the basic start of the stormtrooper) and then star destroyers and it’s like.. heres where the empire started. 

Aaaaaand they’re married? so yeah.. congrats Ani you creeped your way into being a husband.

Drunj!Der Yells About Outlander

Thoughts on Ep. 411

This week, on Outlander: Claire carries all of the water for Jamie! Lord John can’t decide if he’s dumb and creepy or a cool dude! Roger is still my designated tea refill break! Bree is back to being the worst! Murgsali remains the best!

It’s week two of my drunk recaps being done while not drunk *shakes fist at the concept of Dry January* and my willpower is being aggressively tested.

I hate this fake-out with Roger as much as I hate the fake-out in ep. 1x03 with Claire and Mrs. Fitz.

Are we going to get Roger back at the stones and his decision to stay and him being recaptured and stuff next week? Or are we just going to pick back up at the village and we just need to fill all that in ourselves? Tbh, I almost would have preferred Roger just not being in this episode...

Oh the title card... Bree is suddenly now a great artist! (Seriously, how the fuck did she never draw Roger at any point before Rogergate happened?! Like, cool if you don’t want to share who raped you, literally this whole thing could have been avoided without sharing that tidbit if Jamie KNEW WHAT ROGER LOOKED LIKE. Oh, thanks for the heads up, Lizzie, but it turns out that the guy you saw is Bree’s boyfiend. I punched him for leaving her, but it turns out he’s just a dick, not a rapist.) (Second week in a row that I’ve made that typo. It’s like even my subconscious doesn’t like Roger.)

And Bree loves drawing the enslaved people on her great-aunt’s plantation! Which she apparently is totally cool with!

Also, Bree says Aunt wrong. It’s a minor thing but one that is driving me up a fucking wall every time she says it. (People in Massachusetts say it like Ahnt, not Ant.)

Geez, Lizzie, Bree doesn’t need to easily forgive Jamie. Jamie doesn’t deserve to be easily forgiven. Honestly, Lizzie is the least to blame for this whole fiasco. She saw a dude being rough with Bree and then the next time she saw Bree was post-rape. Jamie was a complete prick to Bree, beat the shit out of a random guy without letting him get a word in edgewise and had his nephew get rid of him. And then didn’t fucking tell Claire, who probably would have put two and two together, about it. Fuck that guy.

I simultaneously can’t believe and 1000% can believe they read this shit heap of a story line and were like “Yep, this is great stuff! Let’s definitely spend half a season on it!”

ROLLO! THE GOODEST BOY!

Ugh. Young Ian being like “Oh hey, Auntie Claire, how about you go do the emotional labor of making Jamie feel better about being a fucking dumbass!” Hard pass, Ian. Hard fucking pass.

So here for Claire’s “what you *both* thought.” Like yep, Ian, you’re at fault too. I know you love your uncle, but you gave that whole big speech at River Run about being your own man and yada yada, so maybe fucking own your part in this. You didn’t fucking have to sell a guy into fucking slavery. BUT YOU’RE STILL NOT AS MUCH TO BLAME AS JAMIE. FUUUUCK THAT GUY.

Also, Jamie, you dumb fuck. You should have been fucking groveling by now. You get no points for keeping your distance. Nut up and mea culpa the shit out of this situation.

Honestly, if they wanted to make the show just about Fersali and Murtz, at this point I’d be totally on board.

Wait, so Fergus has been unemployed this whole time? How the fuck have they been living for the past year then? What happened to his job at the printer? I have so many questions...

So Bree, who grew up in civil rights era Boston and had a Black roommate, is totally just chill about living on a plantation and being waited on by enslaved people? Like, we’re not going to mention this at all? Cool. Cool cool cool.

Also like fucking mother like daughter. She’s like “Oh hey, Phaedre, I’m going to draw you. Sit there. No, I’m not going to ask if you want to be drawn. Or take into account what Jocasta might do to you because of my decision to make you not be doing what you’re expected to be doing. Like my Mom did with asking you to call her by her first name, I’m just gonna disregard what the consequences might be for you because treating you like this will make me feel better about myself.”

Maria Doyle Kennedy continues to be awesome.

"Sorry! Did I wake ye?” I love Marsali so fucking much.

I really like them giving what was a convo with Jenny and Jamie about Ian in the books to Marsali and Murtagh about Fergus. But man, women do so much of the emotional labor in this fucking episode. Marsali is running a house, caring for a baby and risking having a wanted man sleeping in her kitchen but she also has to like fluff the pillows for Fergus’ feelings.

Yes, I know that spouses should support each other and be there when the other one needs something. But since we see so little of Fersali now, we’re not seeing this as a two way relationship. Just Marsali doing it for Fergus.

That being said, I do think it’s very sweet of Marsali.

“If I wanted him shot, I’d do it myself. And it wouldna be Fergus I’d take aim at first. He doesna put his boots on my blankets.” I just fucking love her so much, y’all.

Does Murtagh know who Marsali is yet though? Does he know about Jamie marrying Laoghaire? Were we robbed of the glorious Murtz reaction we could have had? Le sigh. If I had a drink, I’d pour one out...

Oh hey, Gerald. Is your name going to stay Gerald? Or are you randomly going to start being Neil in a couple seasons?

“Have you been enjoying your time at River Run?” “Yes, I love River Run. I love living with a bunch of racists, benefiting from the enslavement of Black people. I never once bring up how uncomfortable I am, or even look like I’m uncomfortable about the situation. I am not at all morally conflicted about my current situation. Everything is totally cool.”

I raged a lot during ep. 4x02, and honestly that rage all still stands.

Oh hey! John Grey, Lord of Convenient Appearances is back!

Fergus talking to Germain is my everything. “It seems there are some here who do not appreciate your contribution to the cause.” *swoon* I can’t wait for him to teach his lil dude the fine art of pickpocketing...

I LOVE THE FERGUS AND MURTAGH RELATIONSHIP A LOT AND I’M VERY GLAD THEY’RE GETTING SCREEN TIME TOGETHER.

BASICALLY I LOVE MURTAGH’S RELATIONSHIP WITH EVERYONE.

I JUST LOVE MURGSALI OK.

Bree’s like that obnoxious college freshman who comes home on break and is like all insufferable because they took like one intro to psych class and now want to like diagnose everyone they know with random shit.

“Must I close my eyes when you are before me?” “Yes.” Well played, Bree, but I still do not like you at all in this episode.

Man, 18th century tinder fucking sucks.

I know this show isn’t subtle at all, but jfc, they’re like punching us in the face with the judge being gay. 

Bree, Claire and Betty fucking Draper should start a club for women who drink like fish while preggo.

Ok so I’m on board with the convo with LJG and Bree about his vision or whatever, but then it crosses over into creepy later on in the episode.

Can Lizzie please fuck off already? She’s annoying af.

Also, she blurts out that Bree’s pregnant but managed to keep it a secret that Jamie kicked the shit out of a guy for weeks? I’m calling shenanigans on that.

I get that the convo with John and Bree about Jocasta trying to marry off Bree to some rando is supposed to like be clearing up the handfasting is marriage vs. not marriage thing that the show can’t make up its mind about, but it still bugs me, tbh. A lot.

I still am lowkey annoyed that they expect us to be so invested in Roger and Bree when they did like nothing to build up their relationship before it went to shit (both times). Like, you’re lazy when it comes to your characters, show. You’re doing a bad job. If no one is invested in the characters then all the plot in the world won’t make the show good.

The amount this show relies on book readers backfilling shit is absurd.

Jocasta, as a woman and figure in society, is a far more understandable giver of this speech about Bree needing to be married than Jamie, a dude who can have her live with him in his and Claire’s house in fucking bumblenowhere backwoods. But still, WHY DON’T THESE FUCKERS JUST TREAT HER LIKE SHE’S MARRIED. SHE TECHNICALLY IS. SHE’S HANDFAST. WHO GIVES A FUCK IF THERE WEREN’T WITNESSES. NO ONE IN CROSS CREEK KNOWS THAT. PEOPLE WILL JUST ACCEPT WHAT YOU TELL THEM. I HATE THAT ALL THESE FUCKERS WON’T PUT THAT TOGETHER.

Ok, cool that Lord John is getting some action, I’m am 10000% here for him to be happy with a man who actually wants him back instead of creepily pining over Jamie forever. But FFS YOU ARE NOT STUPID. WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU BANGING THIS DUDE IN THE GODDAMN HALLWAY?! YOU ARE A VERY CAREFUL PERSON. YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF PEOPLE KNOW YOU’RE GAY. YOU FUCKING GOT SHIPPED OFF TO ARDSMUIR BECAUSE OF RUMORS ABOUT YOU AND HECTOR. YOU ARE SMARTER THAN THIS YOU STUPID FUCKING FUCK.

All that aside, I totally ship John and the judge and they should totally be boyfriends and bang a lot, but FUCKING NOT IN THE GODDAMN HALLWAY OF SOMEONE ELSE’S HOUSE WHEN THEY KNOW THEY LIVE IN A HOMOPHOBIC AF SOCIETY.

Ok, fuck Brianna for this blackmail bullshit. Fuck her so fucking much. She is the literal worst right now. Like are you fucking kidding me, Bree?! You’re garbage. I know this shit is in the book, but fucking christ. It’s bad. Fucking have Bree talk to John like “Look, my aunt is trying to marry me off. That fucking hobbit is going to propose as soon as I go back inside. I don’t want to marry him, you know I’m waiting to see if my parents can find my quasi-husband. Can you please do me a solid and say we’re engaged so people leave me the fuck alone until my parents get back?” We *know* John would say yes to that, because he eventually fucking goes along with it for THAT EXACT FUCKING REASON. SO WHY ARE THEY HAVING FROM-THE-POST-STONEWALL-FUTURE BREE THREATEN A GUY WITH THIS SHIT. SHE KNOWS HOW QUEER FOLKS ARE TREATED IN HER OWN FUCKING TIME, AND THIS IS THE PAST AND THE PAST IS THE FUCKING WORST. FUUUUUUCK HER.

“That sounds like a threat.” BREE, YOU DON’T GET TO BE BUTTHURT ABOUT BEING THREATENED WHEN YOU LITERALLY JUST TOLD A GUY YOU WERE GOING TO RUIN HIS LIFE, YOU ABSOLUTE ASSHOLE.

“I wouldn’t have said a word to anyone. I’d just threaten you with your worst fear. Because I’m a raging asshat.”

It’s creepy af that they’re like talking around John being in love with Jamie. I honestly hate that part of John so fucking much. Like he could be such a great character if they could fucking lay off the him pining over and being weirdly possessive of Jamie shit.

Ok, so with Bree now just telling everyone that it was Bonnet who raped her it’s really coming off that Jamie’s manpain was the *only* reason she didn’t tell anyone but Claire before. Which is so fucked up! She was raped! Fuck Jamie’s manpain! If she wants to tell people, she should fucking tell people! Sorry not sorry, but if you were brutally raped and possibly impregnated by some fucker and you want to let people know who it was because it turns out he’s a fucking sociopath, that fucking trumps “oh, my bio dad might feel icky about it.”

“The union of our families is a blessing to us all. Except for the second someone better comes along. Because omg he’s a *lord*! Bye, Neil. Go have yourself some second breakfast.”

Oh fuck you, Jamie. You don’t get to be butthurt at Claire. Claire didn’t beat the everloving fuck out of some rando at the word of a maid, send him into slavery and then keep it a fucking secret. Also like, why the fuck did he even keep it a secret from Claire?! Why not do what Bree did and tell Claire but have her not tell Bree? And he’s still keeping him asking Murtagh to track Bonnet down from Claire. Seriously, fuck Jamie.

Oh Rollo, this isn’t Terminus. We don’t eat people in this show.

I literalol’ed at them pulling an Everest and using a dead body as a wayfinding tool. Probs not the reaction they were going for.

“He is... very much like his father.” DON’T MAKE IT WEIRD, JOHN.

"Good doesn’t come into it. I love him more than life itself.” I love the convo about loving a kid even if you’re not the bio dad, but this “It’s only new because there is hope.” bullshit while they’re sitting on the FUCKING PORCH OF A PLANTATION, LOOKING OUT AT ENSLAVED PEOPLE WHILE THE REST OF THE FAM IS OFF LOOKING FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE LIVED ON THE LAND FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, IS SO FUCKING TONE DEAF IT HURTS.

“I was upset, but not with you.” Uh, Claire? YOU SHOULD BE UPSET WITH JAMIE. WHAT THE FUCK. YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE UPSET WITH JAMIE.

I get Claire’s reasons for not telling Jamie. I think Bree should have told Claire to tell Jamie since it seems like her only hesitation for doing so was Jamie’s #feelings. And I 100000000% think that it makes *zero* sense that she never told Jamie what Roger looks like. But Claire is doing way fucking more than her share of apologizing here. JAMIE IS THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE DOING THE BIG DRAMATIC APOLOGY. THIS IS LIKE 99.7% HIS FUCKING FAULT.

I HATE ROGERGATE SO FUCKING MUCH.

“Frank made plenty of mistakes.” UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE FUCKING CENTURIES, BEAUCHAMP.

Aaaand then they couch it as an “all parents do” thing. BECAUSE OH NO, CAN’T ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HE WAS AN ABUSIVE JACKASS. NOPE. CAN’T DO THAT.

This show is fucking *killing* me with its refusal to make the male characters accountable for their actions. 

And then we get the same sex scene we got in the premiere. Because even though Jamie and Claire get freaky in oh-so-many different ways in the later books, the show has decided that from now on they need to be vanilla and boring. I mean, in the book this bit is described as fierce with blind desperation. I know I always say I want them to deviate from the book, but ffs, I didn’t mean make all the sex the same when the situations and emotional states of the characters when they’re together are very different...

And no, Balfe, I’m not a “horny granny.” (Seriously, fuck her for that comment, tbh. I know what she was probably trying to say, but word choice, Caitriona. It’s fucking important.) I’m not watching this show for the smut. But the core relationship, what’s supposed to be the heart of the show, is now monotonous af. 

Jamie and Claire as characters have always been a couple who express themselves passionately and physically. But now suddenly they’re just like soft af all the time? Where’s the fire? Where’s the spark? You don’t need to have nudity to show passion, show. I’m not asking for a parade of boobs and butts. (If there was contractual stuff involved with that for actors or whatever, more power to them.) But ffs, the show is managing to make me bored with the main fucking ship.

And then Roger gets the shit kicked out of him again and I’m here for it.

Because I still don’t like that guy.

(But seriously, framing the various Native American tribes as the “bad guys” is getting old af.)

Seven Encounters (Modern Royalty AU) 

Summary: It took seven times for Emma Nolan to realize she loved His Royal Highness Prince Killian, but it only took him two times to realize he would chase her to the ends of this earth.

Note: Okay so a little more angst, but some hope as well. There are good things to come for these two, I promise.

The Sixth Encounter 

Emma’s nervous, her palms are a sweaty mess. Oh fuck she’s a mess. Why on earth did she volunteer for this? Oh right her mother needs her to do this. With the State of the Union being tonight Mary Margaret couldn’t make the trip to London for the King Brennan’s Funeral. She didn’t even know the King was sick, Killian never mentioned anything about it. He died of cancer, he must’ve been sick for months.

Emma volunteered to come here because well she felt like her mother needed something taken off her plate and Emma’s right here, it was easy for her  to go. At least that’s what she told her mother who seemed beyond grateful when Emma suggested this solution.

However, waiting in the car Emma’s regretting being so helpful. She hasn’t seen Killian in months. Not since she slipped out of his bed in the middle of night. It was for the best, she wasn’t ready for more, for marriage. Hell, she could barely handle dating him. He deserves someone who can handle being in the public eye and the expectations that come with that. She couldn’t be that for him. It doesn’t mean she stopped caring for him though. She wants to know that he’s okay. She wants to check in with him.

As the car pulls up to Westminster Abbey, Emma wrings her hands and takes some deep breathes.

“Everything alright, Miss Nolan?” August asks her from the driver’s seat.

“Yes,” she says shakily. Even though she’s sure that isn’t true. They get out and the cameras are flashing as she makes her way in. August and Graham surround her and make sure she gets through the crowd of reporters. It’s odd she doesn’t even really care anymore when they take her picture.

--&--

This day is hard enough and then she shows up. He wasn’t really looking for her, but all sudden he sees her get out of a car and his heart stops. He hasn’t seen her since the night of Liam and Elsa’s wedding. The night she slipped out of his bed. A breeze brushes her hair over her shoulder and he is absolutely stunned by her beauty.

“Killian, what’s wrong?” Liam asks between guests. Killian nods down towards Emma. Liam and Elsa both follow his gaze, she hasn’t looked up at him yet and he can’t decide if that’s a good thing or not.

“I’ve got this,” Elsa says and takes off down the stairs before the brothers can say another word.

--&--

Emma gets in line with the procession of mourners as they slowly make their way up the steps. She spots the royal family at the top of the steps, but Killian is engaged in conversation with someone. Elsa catches her eye and shakes her head. She steps away and comes down to meet Emma. Elsa pulls her to the side.  

“What are you doing here?” she asks harshly.

“My mother couldn’t make it to convey her condolences. I am here to pay respects on behalf of the President of The United States of America,” Emma explains just as harshly, she had a feeling this would happen.

“That’s all?” she asks.

“What do you mean?” Emma asks confused.

“I don’t know you’re not here to mess with Killian? Or give him some false hope about the two of you. He still talks about you,” Elsa says, sternly.

“No, I’m not here to mess with him. Despite what happened between us, I care about him. I’m not here because of us. Today isn’t about us,” Emma says getting defensive. She expected this from Liam, but certainly not Elsa. Elsa’s her friend, well she was her friend. People pick sides in a break up. Especially when family is involved.

“Alright, I’ll hold you to that. He’s my family and I have to make sure he doesn’t get hurt. Although it’s a little late for that,” Elsa comments causing Emma to cringe.

“I’m not here to hurt him,” Emma defends herself cooly. Elsa nods and moves back up the steps to her husband and brother in law. Emma rejoins the line. When she looks up again she catches Killian’s eyes for the first time. Oh she missed his eyes, she missed him. Fuck, this day is going to be hard . She tears away her gaze first. She just tells herself that it’s not about them today. She’s here for the President of the United States of America. She’s here for her mother.

Emma reaches the Royal family, who all look somber. Killian won’t make eye contact with her. She shakes hands with Liam.

“President Nolan and the entire First Family send our condolences. We’re sorry for your loss. My mother regrets that she couldn’t be here today, but with the State of the Union tonight she couldn’t make it,” Emma says efficiently. She tries to not look at Killian, but that’s hard when it’s just the four of them. Although he has no trouble not looking at her.

“Thank you for coming and for your family’s condolences. Tell your mother we understand,” Liam says poised and calm.

“I will,” Emma says and moves into the abbey without another word. Her and the agents find a spot in the back and sit down quietly. Emma knows she has to stay for the service, but hopes she skip out on the wake afterwards. She’s about to ask August what he thinks when Anna comes up to her.

“Emma, it’s nice to see you. I didn’t know you were coming. I mean Killian has missed you, are you two getting back together? Is that why you’re here?” she says at her usual rapid pace.

“Oh no my mother couldn’t make it, so I’m here in her place. We’re not getting back together,” she explains stiffly, taken aback by Anna’s questions.

“Oh that’s nice of you to come even though you guys aren’t talking. I don’t know many people who would come to their ex’s father’s funeral,” she says cheerily, even though her words are less than nice.

“You can’t say no when the President asks you to do something,” Emma says trying not to be rude.

“I guess not. I’ll see you at the wake. It was nice to see you, Emma,” Anna comments before walking away. Emma lets out a sigh of relief. Well she’s going to the wake apparently.

“Can this day get any worse?” Emma utters.

“Chin up, you’re doing good,” August reassures her and she smiles at him. A few minutes later the service starts. It was a beautiful service. She even teared up at one point and she wasn’t even from England. It was during Killian’s speech. His hurt and pain was written all over his face and it killed her to see him like this. She has no clue what she could even do for him. He probably doesn’t want anything to do with her. She’s going to have to keep her distance.

They’re in the car on the way to the wake, a wake she doesn’t want to go to. Since Anna called her out she has to go now.

“What would be a respectful time to be at a wake before leaving?” she asks her agents.

“At least thirty minutes,” Graham says and she sighs.

“Damn alright, but as soon as those thirty minutes are up I’m leaving,” Emma states and her agents nod.

Once there she makes her way to the bar and orders a drink. It’s the only way she’s getting through this day. She’s sipping her whiskey when he walks right up to her. His blue eyes piercing through her. He looks so angry, there’s fire raging behind his eyes. She’s never seen him like this.

“Follow me,” he says the anger boiling over in his tone. Not having another option she follows him. They end up in a small room away from the guests.

“Killian,” she starts. Emma just wants to know how he’s doing.  

“Look, I know you’re not here cause of your mother,” he cuts her off, with so much malice in his voice.

“Excuse me?” she asks getting angry. How dare he say that? Who the hell does he think he is?

“You’re here to taunt me or something I don’t know, but I sure as hell don’t need it,” he says and won’t even look at her.

“You’re being absolutely ridiculous! I’m not here to taunt you. I was trying to pay my respects. How the hell can you think I would do something like that to you?” she yells at him, her anger from the day finally spilling over. It takes him by surprise.

“I didn’t think you’d leave my bed in the middle of the night, but you did that no problem,” he yells. That stung, but she deserved it.

“I understand you’re mad, but I was doing what was best for you,” she says through her teeth.

“Oh no you weren’t, Emma. Don’t lie to me or yourself. You did that because you were scared and couldn’t handle it. It wasn’t about me at all,” he fumes.

“I couldn’t be what you needed me to be, so yeah I left in the middle of the night because you wouldn’t have let me do it in the light of day. We would’ve fought. It was easier this way,” she yells at him.

“If I had the choice I wouldn’t let you go. You don’t let go of the people you love,” he snaps and she stares at him in shock. Did he say that he loves her? Is that what he meant?

“You love me?” she asks quietly. His gaze snaps to her, he didn’t realize what he had said. It was what he had never said out loud, at least not to her. He knew it would scare her, but now. Oh now she’s staring at him and she looks lost and confused, like no one could ever love her. He knows how she thinks and that’s what’s running through her head. How she could ever think that is beyond him.

“Of course I do,” he exclaims. With that he takes her in his arms and kisses her. He tries to show her how much he loves her through a kiss. She’s shocked and thinks about backing out of it, but dammit it feels too good. She’s missed this, missed him. This is all she’s wanted for the past couple of months. Everything feels right with him. Emma pulls back abruptly. She steps away from him.

“No. I can’t-We can’t do this, Killian,” she mutters.

“Why the bloody hell not?” he asks frustrated. He’s missed her, it’s been agony without her. Always one step forward and three steps back with her.

“Because I can’t be what you need! I’m not like Elsa, I’m not the girl you marry,” she shouts.

“You’re absolutely ridiculous. I don’t want someone like Elsa! I want you. Were you thinking about us getting married?” he responds frowning.

“No, but everyone at that damn wedding was saying you and I were next. I couldn’t handle that. They all talked about how you were husband material. The last man I loved left me with his stolen watches and I almost went to jail. I won’t let myself be hurt like that again,” she says turning away regretting what she just said. Her emotions always just spilled out with him. It was easy with him. So easy it scared her. He places a hand on her shoulder and turns her to face him.

“You never told me that,” he comments.

“I didn’t know your father was sick,” she points out.

“They didn’t tell me for a while. They said they didn’t want to worry me,” he shrugs, but she can tell that it bothers him, “When I found out you were already gone.”

Emma sighs and launches into the story, “I don’t tell anyone about him. My parents worked hard for that to go away. I was young and naive. We went to the same private high school. I thought he loved me, but really he needed a scapegoat for his crime. He had stolen these watches because even the son of a senator has to act out somehow. They were at a bus station and he couldn’t get them, so I volunteered because I was in love with him. I was supposed to meet up with him and instead the cops were there. My mom was Governor at the time and when she showed up they dropped the charges. She made me promise them I would do community service for a year. Which I did without complaint. We graduated the next year and I kept my distance from him,” she tells him her sad story. She hadn’t told anyone before. This is the reason for her walls. He wants to beat this prick to a bloody pulp.  

“He’s a bastard for doing that to you. You deserve better than the likes of him. If I ever see him I’ll be sure to make him regret it,” he scowls and she laughs a little.

“You’ll have to get in line then,” she comments.

“I can see why you’re scared to love, to let anyone in, Emma. I love you and have for a while. I would never hurt you and I won’t stop loving you,” he kisses her forehead, “I'm a fan of every part of you. When you’re ready I’ll be waiting.” He brushes past her and walks out of the room.

As soon as the door shuts tears runs down her face. He’s too good for her, far too good. How can he love her? She hurt him. She left him. After all of that he can still love her? How? A couple minutes later August comes in looking concerned. She wipes away her tears.

“Find a back door to get me out of here,” Emma commands and August nods. A few minutes later Graham and August escort her out a back entrance and they take her home. She has no clue what to do with His Royal Highness Prince Killian once again.

--&--

A few weeks later an invitation for Liam’s coronation comes in the mail. It’s on thick white cardstock with beautiful gold lettering. On the back of it there is a note in the most beautiful cursive she’s ever seen. Emma knows exactly who’s handwriting it is. Killian. The note reads, I would happy if you could join us. She doesn’t know what to make of it. She picks up the phone and calls Mary.

“Did you get an invitation to Liam’s coronation?” Emma asks.

“I believe so. Your father and I were thinking about coming out for it to see you mainly, but we would have to attend the ceremony. Why?” her mother responds quickly.

“I got one too,” Emma mumbles.

“A what?”

“An invitation…” Emma says.

“What happened at that funeral?” Mary demands. Emma freezes, realizing she hasn’t told her mother what happened at the funeral. Knowing she can’t back out of this conversation now she continues on.

“I- oh we fought at the wake,” she begins too tired and confused to lie. She needs to talk to someone about this. Emma proceeds to tell her mother everything that day.

“Oh sweetheart he just loves you. He wants you back,” Mary says.

“What if I’m not ready?” Emma asks.

“The only way to know is if you go. I think we should all go. RSVP yes,” her mother all but orders her. To Emma’s surprise she agrees to go with her parents. This is a horrible idea.

--&--

Her parents arrive in town two days before the coronation. Mary has meetings to attend before the coronation, so David and Emma go sightseeing without her.

“Mom told me a little bit about what’s going on with Killian. I know you’re not big on talking about it, but keep this in mind. It wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world to let yourself be happy,” he comments and they move along to the next attraction. The thought lingers in her mind, but what can she do? From the funeral it seemed most of the people in his family hate her. He was upset with her. That was clear, but then he kissed her said he was willing to wait for her. What does all that mean? She certainly has no idea.

--&--

The day of the coronation arrives and it’s going to be a busy one. There is a ceremony in the afternoon followed by a ball (yes, an actual ball. Like the ones that happen in Disney movies). There has to be an outfit change in there somewhere according to Mary. Emma isn’t quite sure what is going on she just knows what she’s wearing and follows her mother’s lead.

Once again Emma is in a long procession of cars waiting to be dropped off at the abbey.

“You know this is a bad idea,” Emma says for what feels like the hundredth time.

“It’s not. The fact that you’re saying that makes me believe it’s not,” Mary says all while looking out the town car window. Emma just sits back and tries not to freak out.

“His sister in law will probably try and run me off for showing up,” Emma complains.

“I dare her to try,” David says in a stern tone.

“They know you’re coming this time. You probably caught them off guard last time. Besides her husband is becoming the King today, she has bigger things to worry about,” her mother adds. Their car finally comes to a stop and the First Family gets out of the car. They’re immediately whisked through the line of reporters.

--&--

Once inside the Abbey, Killian spots Emma and her parents. Anna stands next to him.

“Killian, I want you to be happy and have true love, but is she it? I only ask because I don’t want you getting hurt,” Anna says cautiously.

“She is. She was scared and everyone in this family needs to get over that. Excuse me,” Killian says before walking away. He strides right up to the First Family with a smile.

“Madam President, Mr. Nolan, Emma we’re so glad that you could make it today,” Killian greets them.

“We wouldn’t miss it. It’s not everyday you’re invited to a coronation,” Mary responds.

“No it’s not,” he turns his gaze to Emma, “Can I talk to you for a minute?” She’s surprised by the question, but nods. He leads them to a quiet corner away from the guests.

“I wasn’t sure you’d actually come today,” he says.

“I wasn’t either,” she sighs, fidgeting. He’s never made her this nervous before.

“I hoped you would. You’ll be at the ball later?” he asks her and she nods, “Good, I’ll be looking for you.” A bell rings throughout the Abbey.

“That’s the que for us to find our seats. Save me a dance tonight?” he says as they make their way back.

“I can’t dance,” she blurts out.

“You just needs a partner who knows what they’re doing,” he smirks as they part ways. Emma finds her seat with her parents.

“What was that about?” Mary asks.

“Dancing,” Emma mumbles causing a confused look on both of her parent’s faces. Before they can ask anymore questions the ceremony begins.

--&--

Between the ceremony and the ball Emma changes into a red evening gown and her hair is twisted into an elegant bun.

“He won’t know what hit him,” Mary Margaret winks as they pile into the limo on the way to Buckingham Palace.

When they arrive at the party it is already in full swing. It’s a full red carpet event. The whole family poses for pictures, while reporters shout their questions at her mother, which she ignores. They head inside and the room is filled to the brim with people.

Once inside they are lead to their table for dinner. Their table is next to King Liam’s table and Emma keeps catching Killian looking at her out of the corner of her eye. He’s so distracting she can barely keep up with the conversation happening at her table.

After dinner is over a dance floor opens up and Liam and Elsa make their way out onto the floor and music for a waltz begins. Emma is really screwed, she’s not a good dancer under the best circumstances and she definitely doesn’t know how to waltz. Not long after Killian walks up to Emma and extends his hand.

“May I have this dance?” he asks her with a cocky grin on his face.

“Yes,” she places her hand on his, “But I’ll probably step on your feet,” she says as he leads them onto the dance floor.

“That’s a risk I am willing to take, but like I said earlier you just need a partner who knows what he’s doing,” he smirks. They begin to dance and so far no toes have been stepped on.

“You’re a natural, I have no idea why you said you couldn’t dance,” he teases her.

“I’ve never done this kind of dancing before. I was sure I would mess it up,” she defends herself.

“You haven’t and won’t,” he smiles as he spins her out slowly then back in.

“We need to talk,” she blurts out, something she’s been holding in since the ceremony.

“We do,” he bristles, not sure of what she’ll say next.

“Why did you invite me?” she asked confused.

“Because I wished to see you and I’m glad you came, you cut quite the figure in that dress. Is that such a bad thing to want to see you?” he asks her.

“No,” a slight blush crosses her cheeks at his compliment, “You confuse me at every turn. You say you love me then say you’ll wait then invite me to this I don’t know what to make of any of this,” she sighs.

“I’ll wait for you and I do love you. You deserve to hear that when we’re not fighting or upset. I’ll tell you everyday if that’s what you want. Just because I said I’ll wait doesn’t mean I’m not going to stop trying to win your heart,” he says pointedly and for once she has no witty comeback.

“I’m sorry,” she says uneasily. The next song starts and they keep dancing.

“For what?” He asks his brow furrowed.

“For leaving. I- That’s not how I should’ve done it. You deserved more, better than that in any case,” she apologizes and she can tell he didn’t expect that at all.

“I’d rather you’d never left at all, love. I appreciate the apology though,” he says slightly flustered, obviously still thrown by what she said. The song ends and he kisses the back of her hand.

“I’ll see you soon, my love,” he smiles and walks away. She spends the rest of the night with her parents. He spends it talking to various guests, but he doesn’t dance with anyone else. They keep sneaking glances at each other from across the room.

Emma wants him and trusts him, but what if one day he wants more and she can’t give it to him? She would just lose him and she doesn’t think her heart can handle that. It's not like these past months have been easy. It's been hard without him. Emma doesn't know what to do, she needs more time.

--&--

Killian is surprised to say the least when President Nolan walks up to him later that night.

"Madam President," he greets her.

"Prince Killian, I just wanted to say something before we left. Be patient," she advises.

"With what?"

"With Emma," she says as if it were obvious, "Goodnight."

"Goodnight," Killian says, processing what she just told him. Killian is a patient man, when he said he'd wait for Emma he meant it. He's not going anywhere.

And suddenly, the lines get blurred between the sparks flying on screen - and the real thing that grows when the cameras stop rolling.

Did you know you needed a Rosaline x Benvolio undercover Bachelor AU? No. But you do. Trust me. It’s by the same author as Falser Than Vows Made In Wine, which I rec’ed another year, and it is just as perfect.

Close To The Ground (MCU) AO3 [Complete]

“Not done,” Tony slices a hand through the air, and Peter shuts his mouth immediately. “Because you must have done something. Last I remember, your mother wasn’t an insect.”

Peter winces, but he can’t help mumbling an “Arachnid,” under his voice.

“Excuse me?”

“Spiders are arachnids, not insects.” Mask clutched in his hands, staring at the floor, Peter decides this might just be one of the worst moments of his young, ever persisting life.

(...or the civil war biodad au that no one asked for.)

Need to recover after the Starkson feels of the recent MCU films and/or the Marvel-Sony battle? Try this on for size. It’s so well-written, though, that it could make things worse. But probably not.

Elegance Cannot Kill A Man series (Sansa x Tyrion, Games of Thrones) AO3 [In-progress]

What if a good deed resulted in Sansa and Tyrion being married before Ned Stark's death? How would this change the Game of Thrones?

A series featuring a Sansa who is strong and smart, a Varys with a plan, and a Tyrion who has no idea what he's gotten himself in for.

This series gives me SO MUCH LIFE. In a recent review, I described it as the political fantasy epic the TV series wished it could be. Everything about it is amazing. Everything. I’m on the fourth one right now and literally everything is amazing, even the sad stuff. Just do it.

Happiness Can’t Be Arranged series (Regina x Robin, Once Upon A Time) AO3 || FF [In-progress]

Set during the Regency Period, Henry and Cora arrange a marriage for their daughter in an effort to save their family’s name and estate.

I accidentally stumbled across this series due to a OUAT hyperfixation relapse, and I think the relapse occurred so I would find this fic. The characters are so well written to the point that I hear the actors’ voices in my head, guys. It’s got everything: friends to lovers, arranged marriage, mutual pining. Also, we were robbed of Henry and Roland interaction and I didn’t know it until this fic.

Home (Sybil x Tom, Downton Abbey) FF [In-progress]

The lives of Tom and Sybil Branson, both in Dublin and Yorkshire, as told through an anthology of stories. Proudly AU from 3x05 onward.

I don’t remember how I found this, but in excitement over the Downton Abbey movie, why not read a brilliant AU where Sybil Lives and she and Tom get to be happy? It is a one/two-shot series and is complete perfection.

I Wanna Mash-Up With You (Brittany x Santana, Glee) FF [In-progress]

"People think that she and Britt just fall together when they're drunk at parties, maybe in between boyfriends. And Santana lets them believe it because she isn't ready for them to know its not the falling together that does her in, it's the fact she feels like without her, she would fall apart." Brittana & Quick. Lots of Unholy Trinity & Pucktana friendship too. Canon couples.

Full disclosure: I came for the Quick, stayed for the amazing Holy Trinity relationship, and wait with bated breath for the Brittana I know will soon come alive (For realz, at least). The characterizations are on point, and I love how it explores motivations for these early Season 1 moments.

Identity series (Leia x Han, Star Wars) AO3 || FF [Complete]

A distress signal reaches Coruscant after the Empire's demise, claiming to be the beacon of Bail Organa. what would the reappearance of Leia's adoptive father mean for her life in a post ROTJ context. What would he think of Han Solo, and what could he tell her about the dark shadow of her heritage? H/L; significantly AU, I suppose.

THIS IS AN AMAZING AU AND I AM IN LOVE WITH IT. PLEASE GO READ THE SERIES. THE WORLD BUILDING IS FANTASTIC AND THE CHARACTERIZATION FLAWLESS. I WILL NOT APOLOGIZE FOR THE CAPS LOCK.

Kindle (Harry x Ginny, Harry Potter) AO3 || FF [Complete]

THE Hinny Modern Single Dad-Ish AU you must read. We’ve got Weasley shenanigans, Sirius/Jily alive and well, Teddy as the Ultimate Shipper, and Harry and Ginny being super adorable and amazing all over the place. Plus, Harry as his awkward relatable self. A 10/10 must-read.

No? Then you haven’t read this masterpiece. Please correct yourself.

the santiago-peralta family stories series (Amy x Jake, Brooklyn 9-9) AO3 [In-progress]

This series is goddamn amazing and follows the two most amazing detectives raising some of the most amazing kids. It’s so well written and so FLUFFY and just amazing.

we’ve been together as long as i can remember (but we only make love in the spring) (Sansa x Tyrion, Game of Thrones) AO3 [In-progress]

She is always cold. And thin, so thin. He feels her bones protruding under her pale, marble skin, even with the layer of her clothes in his way: ribs and hipbone and the sharp angles of her shoulders, shoulder-blades, the notches of her spine. He ran a finger over them, once, in one of his braver moods, almost down to the small of her back, and felt her shivering lightly under the touch. Made of steel, he had thought, then. Today, he rests one modest hand on her shoulder. She's not drunk, he knows she's not, but he won't risk her resentment in the morning.

Still, even with the privilege that is to know her bones, he wishes he had a whole harvest for her.

This whole marriage is winterbound. He wouldn't call it love.

"Thank you", she mumbles, eyes closed and face hidden on his chest. "You're a good husband".

He reaches for the tip of the nearest blanket to cover her and bows his head down to puts his lips to her forehead. "You're drunk", he answers, and she chuckles briefly, too tired to argue.

[Where all the wars are over; the Starks are starting again; and everyone waits for news of spring.]

This might be one of the absolute best versions of Sansa and Tyrion coming back to each other, with all their demons, and making something beautiful out of it, that I have ever read.

Survey #66

“letterman’s got no dirt on me.”

you ever played "call of duty"? did you like it? are you into those types of video games at all?   never played it, not into it. do you like to cook for people, or do you order to be cooked for? has anyone ever told you that you were a good cook?   i don't "order" to be cooked for, mom just cooks anyway as the mother of this household.  i don't really cook for people because i don't know how to make almost anything.  people like my scrambled eggs, though. do you have any clocks in your house that chime when the hour changes? do those types of clocks annoy you?   we do not.  i LOVE those clocks, though. what is your usual hair style? do you tend to wear the same style every day, or do you switch it up a lot?   i have my hair parted far to the left to where it swoops over the right side of my face.  it's always the same.  i'd like to be able to achieve the emo/scene/indie/whatthefuckever swoop on a daily basis, but i can't do it, i think because my hair's too thick or we just have bad hairspray. have you had the same doctor pretty much your whole life, or have you went to a bunch of different ones over the years? have you ever been to the doctor thinking something was horribly wrong with you, but it turned out to be something minor?   i've had two "main" doctors, i think: lynn and now emanuel.  they're both great.  and nah, i've never thought something was THAT wrong. are there any stores you feel uncomfortable going into (ex: if you dress girly, do you feel uncomfortable going into hot topic)? are there any stores that you refuse, or just never go in to?   eh, not really.  the "worst" i can think of is victoria's secret, where i merely feel out of place, because i'm both not girly and fat, and don't even deny it, the majority of their merchandise is aimed at small people.  so.  i feel at least mildly weird in there. do you look in mirrors a lot, or do you try to avoid them? how many mirrors are in your house?   i have no major opinion on mirrors.  i usually don't look in them though, no, because i don't like seeing all the weight i've gained.  idk how many mirrors we have total. what do you think is the greatest invention of all time? why? are there any inventions you wish had never been made?   uhhh... i'm not entirely sure.  i mean, i guess anesthesia is definitely one, so we can do major surgeries.  music.  medicine. as for inventions that shouldn't have been made, i'mma just say though this would totally not stop people from "doing things," can we just... get rid of dildos and self-pleasure things?  can we not teach lust, please? are you proud of yourself? do you feel that you've accomplished (or will accomplish) the things you want in your life? what other person are you the most proud of and why?   i'm... i don't know.  i honestly think i have good morals and such, yeah, but some parts about me i just have no control over and hate.  ex., my hatred for ashley.  ffs i know the girl doesn't deserve it, yet i'd... alsdkjfoawieurwe.  i don't think i'm going to accomplish my goals, no.  the person i'm most proud of... i actually think that would be ashley, my older sister.  her ex-boyfriend abused her and drove her mad practically, and she was even self-mutilating, but via hospitalization, she came back from that and is now a fucking warrior mother. did you ever have a terrible roommate? what did they do that bothered you so much?   i'd consider jacob and amanda to be jason's and my former roommates, and as roommates, we had bad chemistry.  they're great people, absolutely, we just didn't mix in taking care of a house. if someone has a problem with something you’ve done, do you prefer they confront you directly? why or why not? when you're the one who needs to tell someone about a problem, what's your method of doing so?   i'd far rather prefer you confront me via writing, so i can write back.  therefore i can actually think clearly about what i'm saying, not stutter my ass off, and not feel cornered.  i am HORRIFIED on confrontation, so i would be a mess. do you like the color gray?   no, i do not. is it possible to love someone if you don't love yourself?   THIS QUESTION MAKES ME SO FUCKING MAD.  OBVIOUSLY.  OH BOOHOO, I FUCKING HATE MYSELF, I CAN STILL LOVE THE FUCK OUT OF SOMEONE ELSE JESUS CHRIST. do you believe happiness can exist without sadness?   eventually?  no. what hospital in your area would you most recommend for good treatment?   hahahahaha oh darling, none of them.  just don't go to nash general. who is the best person you've ever "met" online?   mini. who is the most versatile actor ever?   obviously johnny depp. do you ever nap and wake up and forget what day it is?   i barely ever know what day it is to begin with.  my days just kinda... happen. what was your maternal grandmother's first name?   cecelia. what was the last video message you received on your phone?   ... jason was the only person who ever did that.  so.  well over a year ago. would you kiss someone you didn't have feelings for?   nope.  kisses are far more special than that. what would your dream engagement ring look like?   okay first my husband can get whatever damn ring he wants to propose to me with, but either a dragon's breath opal or rose gold ring are my fantasies. is someone hurting you mentally at the moment?   jason constantly is without knowing it.  colleen is always pretty heavily beating me in the mental sense. do you feel like no one understands you?   i used to think jason did, but i guess he doesn't.  or maybe he really does understand me, more than i do myself, and his full understanding is why he left, because he hates me as much as i hate myself. have you ever attempted to drown yourself?   uh, no, and even if i wanted to die, i wouldn't choose that way, holy shit. would you rather deal with all your emotions at once, or none at all?   who says i haven't felt one already, maybe even both? what’s the best sex scene in a movie you’ve ever seen?   errr.  it's really indirect and you don't actually "see" them doing much, but i guess in "the notebook" where they're in that old house and the poor girl is so nervous and emotional?  i could imagine that being me my first time lol.  it's just... really passionate to me and it feels like that scene is far more about love than just sex. is pornography evil or are you neutral about it?   it's fucking disgusting. do you prefer to be monogamous, or are you more a casual dater or swinger?   honestly, just because i'm feeling a bit brutal today?  i don't even respect anything but monogamy.  i'm fucking sorry, but going around saying you "love" more than one person, fucking more than one person, it's just... fucking hell it's sick. does your pet wear a collar?   they all do, yes. what is your favorite song in "the sound of music"?   "doe, a deer, a feeeemale deer!" what would you do if your mom/dad saw a hickey on you?   if i was with jason, probably nothing.  they both know i love him dearly and i know mom at least knows we do sexual things.  i mean did. you’ve just had an argument with the guy you like, and you walk away. do you want them to leave you alone?   no.  do not lave me alone.  please. have you ever read any self-help books?   i have. do you thank the bus driver?   i always did when i rode the bus with j, yes. have you ever had your heart broken?   worst thing in the whole fucking world.  i REALLY woulda rather been shot. when was the last time you flirted?   do you consider commenting on your ex-boyfriend's photograph on facebook calling him handsome flirting?  if yeah, well over a year ago.  if that doesn't count, who the fuck knows. are good-byes easy or hard for you?   why don't you fucking kill me instead. whatcha listening to?   "bad girlfriend" by theory of a deadman.  sexy fucking song. what do you feel about our president?   i fucking despise him.  sure, some of his policies i agree with, but holy shit... he is an ass. do you remember the song, blue (da ba dee) by eiffel 65?   omfg i love that song :'D if you told someone how far have you have gone with the opposite sex, how would others view you?   i know of a few possibilities.  "a christian fishing for loopholes" is one.  others would certainly call me uptight or cheap for not going all the way. do you have a secret that you’ve never told ANYONE?   no, actually...  i told my only secret to my best friend and indirectly my mom just last night, so. would you care if your last ex fell in love with someone else?   yes, i fucking care. what’s something you really want right now, be honest?   be honest?  sex with j. were your parents married when they had you?   they were. are they married now?   no, they're divorced. would you marry someone 30 years older than you if they had millions?   nope. how long were employed at your last job?   lmao four days fam.  quit that quickly. if you found out you were pregnant who would you tell first?   depends on how it happened, honestly.  i'd tell the dad before anyone else, probably, and right now, i'm not with a man. what did you do when you hung out with the last person you kissed?   i couldn't tell you.  just like our last kiss, i didn't know it'd be our last, so it was just another day.  fuck. do you prefer online classes or real classes?   they both have their benefits, idk.  part of the blame for me quitting college though was due to it being online. do you like documentaries? have you ever watched one and find it boring?   i looove animal documentaries.  don't think i've ever seen one that bored me. if you had to choose, would you rather be an alcoholic or pothead?   honestly?  pothead.  and i'm against marijuana, but i find alcoholism way more dangerous. do you hate your ex?   no, i fucking worship him. do you like kids?   yes and no.  i am VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERY awkward with children.  like, i just don't know what to do with them, so i get very uncomfortable.  yet i still want kids, which makes me worry sometimes... but i honestly believe if i had my own flesh-and-blood child, i'd be the most protective and loving mother ever. are your eyes the same color as your mom’s or dad’s?   neither. do you think too much or too little?   TOO MUCH!!! does anyone know your facebook password?   my mom, and jason might. have you ever seen the last person you kissed without their shirt on?   juicy shit for a skinny boi mmmmmhm ...what about their pants?   ye boi did you ever rip off a barbie doll head?   hahaha wtf idk how many people have you slept with (sexually not actually sleeping)?   i need to know if doing sexual things, but not actual sex, counts to answer this question.  if not, zero.  if sexual things count, one. do you have any sort of ongoing health problem?   oh hunny, you really wanna know? are you a teenager and yet want a baby?   i am not a teenager, but there were a few times when j and i were together the thought would cross my mind, but only very rapidly. would you date a guy with a prince albert?   i mean, sure.  i'd be a bit suspicious honestly, seeing as he'd have to be pretty comfortable whipping out his penis to get it pierced and all, but i wouldn't really judge him much.  if he likes it, good for him. do you think you are a hick?   not in the slightest, no. have you ever told someone to their face that they were ugly?   what the fuck, no!!  i even knew better as a child!! have you ever swallowed a watermelon seed?   i'm sure i have accidentally before.  ha ha speaking of which, i totally want that "don't eat watermelon seeds" shirt when i'm expecting.  it's so cute. what would be worse - going out in public with no bra or no panties?   i already don't wear underwear, soooo...? would you ever let your child drop out of high school?   in most situations, absolutely not.  now if they were ill, physically or mentally, and were having severe trouble in school related to their issues, yes, i would. honestly, do you think that inner beauty is as important as outer beauty?   to society?  no.  in regards to simple morality?  inner beauty is substantially more important. do you pronounce “aunt” like “awnt” or “ant”?   "ant" have you ever seen wayne’s world?   i have and it's funny, but i can't watch it anymore as jason LOVED that movie. what was your favorite video game as a child?

  i believe he was a real person, yes.  i also believe in the miracles he spoke of, yes. would you ever get a tattoo in a “naughty” place?   where do you consider "naughty"?  if i lose weight, i do have intentions of getting a hydra tattooed VERY low on my stomach so it starts in a certain area and rises up onto my stomach; i want the lyrics "from slave to master, i've become the hydra" written above it in a semi-circle.  it's from an otep song, and i find her lyrics SO empowering.  i may get this tattoo elsewhere though. ... i'm also like 99$ positive i'm getting a harley quinn-oriented tat on my right asscheek that says "rotten" so if you consider that dirty, lmao.  personally i don't believe it to be in a "naughty" place but, w/e. are your ears gauged?   no ewww is there a band you like that many others dislike? which?   hmmmm... i don't think so for any that are notoriously hated.  i mean i admit to liking a couple blood on the dance floor songs, but i don't like enough to be considered a fan of the band. do you play pokemon go?

  in general, i don't think so, but sometimes, sure. be honest. have you had any dirty thoughts today?   i'm honestly having one of those rare nights where it's p bad. honestly, have you ever danced naked?

  i always scare myself when i'm suicidal. on facebook, do you have people listed as your siblings who aren’t really your siblings?   hahaha yeah... is it ever okay for a woman to ask out a man?    ... yes???  we're in 2017??? how important is it for a significant other to be good with kids?   i wanna evaluate this question a bit.  "good" with kids, not necessarily.  i'm not good with kids, yet i love them and would do so much for a child.  i'd be okay having someone inexperienced with kids, but not bad with kids, you get me? when did your last relationship end?   august or september of 2015.  i can't remember which. did your father go to college?   nope. do you plan on going to college?   i did go for a couple years, but i just dropped out this week, because it's not for me.  it's bringing MUCH unnecessary stress into my life, and i don't need a degree to be a perfectly successful photographer.  nor do i need miles of school debt.  not worth it. ever seen a burning building in person?   yes.  when i lived in sharpsburg, a house diagonal to us was entirely engulfed in flame.  burned to the ground.  just the foundation remains today. do you like gore?   FUCKING AESTHETIC do you own any choker/collar necklaces?   oh yes did you have a "scene" phase?   nah, i was definitely more emo than scene. how often do you shave your legs, if at all? why do/don't you?   like... every two weeks?   i have no shorts or even khakis so no one ever sees my legs.  if someone was going to see my legs for any reason though, i'd shave more frequently, yeah.  and honestly, i only shave my legs due to societal standards. do you personally know anybody whose native tongue is not english?   i sure do. are you dressing up for halloween this year?   i would like to.  i wanna be a plus-sized (if i'm still this large anyway) pin-up girl. horror movies: the bloodier, the better. right?   not necessarily.  i personally want a realistic amount of blood, always, because it adds to the immersion.  hard to imagine "what if that was me?" if there's a comically huge amount of blood spewing from a wound or whatever. what do you think of people that smoke pot?   same way i think of people who smoke cigarettes, honestly.  it's a bad habit and they should stop. do you have pests in your house? if not, have you ever?   we don't currently, but we have had a mouse problem twice and a centipede issue once. do you like korn?   they were one of my first ever metal bands, and they're still fucking love today<3 what do you think of dodgeball being banned at some high schools?   honestly?  i'm fine with it being banned.  it fucking terrified me personally, because kids got way too rough. when you were little, did you pick up worms? do you pick worms up now?   ha ha ha yeah i dug for worms sometimes. :P  i don't anymore, i don't like worms... if you have younger siblings, do they play sports? do you go watch their games?   none of us do anymore.  nicole graduated from a dance student to a teacher last year.  she teaches the little kids. what do you think your friends say about you when you aren’t around?   who the hell knows. can you cut your own hair?   doubt it. do you own a guitar?   i do.  it's in my old room's closet. do you plan on seeing a band live this year?   i would LIKE to, but a.) i'm poor and b.) no one ever comes to nc but country artists. :/ what’s a sport you don’t mind watching?   dance.  *prepares for the "that's not a sport" comments* what color hair would you like your baby to have?   black like jason's. why do you think people care so much about looks?   i honestly think in a way similar to one of my favorite lyrics by rammstein, which loosely translates to: "humans are but animals of the eyes."  says a lot about us, doesn't it?  i also kinda think it has something to do with adam and eve when they sinned and became ashamed of their nakedness; none of us want to feel embarrassment in regards to our body, so we want to have the body that society accepts.  that brings about the next subject: who's to say/who started the expectation that there is a "right" body?  as well, i even think humans' animalistic traits come into play here: "we" want a body we recognize as "fit and ready" to produce and protect its offspring, and i mean, the body we humans idolize is almost always a slim, fit body.  it just makes sense to me. do you enjoy dancing?   well, i was a dancer for many years, actually, at the local dance studio.  i didn't love it, but it was something to do.  i eventually stopped because of depression and over-the-top sweating. were you ever obsessed with the jonas brothers?   no.  i had a very strong dislike for them, VERY much so, and one day while i was away, nicole decorated our room (we shared a room for a long time) to where the walls were COVERED in their pictures from magazines.  i was livid lol. do you ever feel like life is going by too fast?   this past year?  no.  not at all.  every day is the fucking same; i'm stuck at home foraging for some entertainment on the internet in my bed.  all day.  the days of the week blend together like a soup.  so in my case, life is fucking dragging. do you pay for your own things?   no, but only because i can't.  i have no job, i get no allowance, sooo i get no income.  fucking worthless 20-year-old, all right. who makes you feel like you’re worth something?   at this moment?  no one.  my mom pissed me the fuck off and my best friend hates me currently and thinks because they're "only" mental, my illnesses are invalid. have you ever gotten in trouble on the internet?   lmao fam when i was like what 12 or so i got moderated by the moderator of animal planet's "meerkat manor" forum *waggles fist* honestly, have you ever had lice?   omg no i would freak do you think it’s possible to be in a long relationship without having sex?   ... the fuck kind of question is this???  no shit!!! where did you last bleed from and why?   hmmm.  don't know for certain. has the last person you kissed ever seen you cry?   too many times. what do you like most about making out?   uhhh... you do stuff... and things???  idk i honestly don't know how to answer this question.  everything about it, i guess. have you ever had a guy put his hand in your shirt?   yeah, but it wasn't unwelcomed or anything. what is the last thing you stapled? 

  sigh.  twelve pages-worth of papers: jason's letter.  mom and i are riding out to the post office tomorrow to get it mailed...  god please let him read it. who was your first prom date?

(:
