LOCATION — Rachel's house.

WHO — Elijah & Rachel ( @rachelhargrove )

From his position on the floor, propped up against the front of Rachel's couch and underneath a comically large amount of throw blankets, Elijah had been fighting the urge to doze off for at least the past twenty minutes of the Love is Blind episode playing on the television in front of him. Which was ridiculous, because when he checked the time on his phone, it had barely breached eight o'clock at night — and he wasn't that old yet. He'd come to his friend's house because they hadn't gotten the opportunity to hang out much recently, what with their separate schedules, and he wanted to actually hang out with her before they got to the whole 'sleepover' part of it. Blinking once exaggeratedly, he abruptly reached forward and grabbed the remote, pausing mid-scene as the room suddenly got quieter. He tipped his head back, looking up at Rachel and asked, "Are you hungry? I mean, I know we've been snacking, but I think if I don't eat a proper meal in approximately thirty minutes I might pass out right where I'm sitting — and I don't even feel that tired. You wanna order something? Pause this for a sec, come back to it later?"

Rachel: Yes, but I am used to speaking to you everyday. I have been spoiled.

Rachel: Speaking of your glee club. I submitted my name to Coach, President - whatever she enjoys calling herself - Sylvester. I am officially your newest member. Until I graduate of course.

Rachel: I am doing remarkably well! Still on a bit of a post-Grammy high. And starting to prepare for graduation. I have lined up a few auditions. Quite exciting actually.

Blaine: You know I'm always just a phone call or text or ANYTHING away, right?

Blaine: Really? That's so exciting, Rachel! Welcome to the New Directions!

Blaine: I usually just call her Coach Sylvester for Cheerios-related stuff and Miss Sylvester for anything else, by the way. That seems to work just fine 🤷‍♂️

Blaine: Oh, I can imagine! I want to hear all about it next time we see each other in person. And that's definitely exciting! Let me know if you need someone to run lines with! I'd be happy to help.

LOCATION — The Teacher's Lounge.

WHO — Rachel ( @rachelhargrove ).

Javi never knew what to do when Andres couldn't sleep. Or, more specifically, when Andres couldn't sleep and none of his usual options of reading to him, laying with him or turning on the TV to lull him to bed seemed to work. For a moment, he just tried to let his son cry it out, but there was only so much of that he could hear close to midnight on a Monday night before he went absolutely mad. Thus, he found himself giving up entirely, googling 24/7 eateries in town in the hopes that maybe a change of scenery will tire them both out. That was how he wound up at The Teacher's Lounge, although it seemed as though his hopes couldn't be farther from reality as Andres had more energy than ever. He cycled between picking at the pancakes on his father's plate and playing with his toy car, until he got bored of both and crawled out of the booth from underneath the table to wander around the diner. Javi hardly noticed, too wrapped up in looking at his phone, until he glanced beside him and saw that the little boy wasn't there, but instead standing at the side of a stranger's table a few feet away, looking up at them expectantly and holding out his toy for them to grab. "Oh my god," he mumbled under his breath, sliding out from the booth to catch up with his son. "Andres, you can't just walk away from me — I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention."

LOCATION — University Library. WHO — Sebastian & Rachel ( @rachelhargrove ).

Sebastian and libraries — well, to put it simply, they didn’t mix well.

The last time he genuinely remembered stepping foot inside of one was sometime around eight years old, when his father had dropped him and Hunter off to entertain themselves amongst the books for the afternoon while he was off galavanting doing God knows what. Other than that specific time, he found no use for the library, for books; he dropped out of high school and was never much of a reader, which meant he stood out quite obviously now as he came to a halt in the nonfiction section.

He didn’t really understand what he was looking for, or how he was supposed to go about finding it, if he was honest. Every single spine in front of him looked exactly the same and none of them popped out to him with the word ‘MARRIAGE’ in big, bold letters like he was hoping.

Just as he turned on his heel to leave, however, he was met with a rather familiar face — and not only that, but a familiar face who he would bet money knew exactly how the hell to find what he needed. Whatever that actually was. “Rachel!” he called out in greeting, volume adjustment thrown out the window as annoyed heads snapped in his direction. “Shit, sorry — Rachel,” he lowered to a whisper, “What’s good? Haven’t seen you in, like, a minute. Sorry ‘bout that, by the way. I went to Vegas or whatever and . . . anyways, not the point. You come here often?”

closed starter for @bywhatitfedon | rachel & isaac inspired by this & this

It had been, what, years since Rachel last saw Isaac. She reasoned it must have been since they were last in high school. Back then, things felt simpler, though not without future consequences. Queen bee of her class, Rachel had it all: popularity, friends, and the quarterback boyfriend. Being on top of the world also meant looking down on those below her (for better or for worse), and that including one Isaac Gates. Sure she had teased and mocked him, both her and her gaggle of friends incessantly pointing out just how dorky and lanky he was. Her boyfriend was ruthless, too, going so far sometimes to physically get in Isaac's way, while Rachel preferred her form of torture in verbal insults. Flaws were consistently pointed out in a thin attempt to make themselves feel better. It was just unfortunate that Isaac was their usual target.

But these were all things she had outgrown now. At least that's what she believed as she spotted Isaac in line at the cafe she now entered. It made for an awkward moment of silence as she debated whether or not it was in good taste to even say anything. Surely he had bad memories of her, but she wanted to prove (maybe mostly to herself) that she had changed.

"Isaac? Is that you?" she asked almost shyly. "Hey, it's uh it's Rachel from high school."

Can I just say how relieved I was to see them in the newest food theory? I was lowkey worried without Matt they wouldn't use the NC crew for live action shoots, but thankfully its still happening! Also I guess Lee just lives there now?

Seriously. Lee. Does Matt have you trapped in the basement? Buddy, blink twice if you need help!

"The raven crows, flings the water from its feathers and lifts its body into the air with a powerful beat of its great wings. For a moment, it takes the shape of something nearly holy; he can imagine this creature as the bird Apollo sent to spy on his lover Coronis, all pearly feathers obscured from the sun’s light, the scorched black cousin of the barbary dove."

closed starter for @rachelhargrove at rachel's birthday bash

It didn't matter what the event was, if Kat was asked to show up in some level of costume attire, she was going to go all in. With the theme that of a funeral, Kat had gone with the most dramatic Victorian era widow outfit she could find. With the veil over her face and the folds hiding most of her form, Kat could very well have gone unrecognized through the event. At least, if not for her generally boisterous personality bringing attention her way regardless. "You know, as morbid as this all is, I've really found my calling as a grieving widow," she teased as she came up around towards Rachel, arms held open for a hug.

LOCATION — Coral Cove.

CHARACTERS — Elijah & Rachel ( @rachelhargrove ).

With Rhiannon coming up on four months old now, Elijah thought it was as good a time as any to start introducing her to new experiences. The aquarium probably wouldn't have been his first choice — do babies even know what fish are, anyway? — but with Rachel having bought a few tickets in advance, he knew that it was next to impossible to refuse tagging along for the afternoon. So far, he would say that it was worth it. He was still a little unsure about whether Rhia even knew what she was looking at, but she looked adorable in Rachel's arms staring through the glass, her little hand reaching out in an attempt to touch it. Elijah smiled to himself, leaning against the empty stroller that he'd been assigned to wheeling around while his friend got her 'baby time' in. "So, how much of this do you think she's really processing?" he asked, "Cause, like — I'd probably be scared shitless if I was as small as she is and that bloody giant shark swam by me. Y'know? Does she understand that there's a barrier between them? Or am I just scarring my daughter for the rest of her life and she'll grow up with a crippling fear of the sea?"

stardomiscalling: If it isn’t the Tony to my Maria! So happy to see you back online. If it were anyone else, I would have likely objected to your desire to be President of the New Directions. However, since you are my dearest friend and incredibly talented (I should know as I only spend time with talented individuals), I will not only support your Presidential bid, but even offer to be your Vice-President. I do have quite a bit of musical theatre experience.

And if it isn't the Maria to my Tony! Hi, Rachel! It's good to see you too. How are you doing? Ooh, so does that mean you'll be joining the New Directions? And thank you so much for the vote of confidence, Rachel. I will definitely consider your offer!

LOCATION — True Colors

WHO — Sebastian & Rachel ( @rachelhargrove )

"Oh, God Damn it," Sebastian mumbled under his breath, crinkling the teeny paper with 'Barbara' written in bold lettering that he pulled from the bucket of names, clearly displeased with the outcome. When he found out that True Colors was organizing a Secret Santa amongst the volunteers, he had a feeling that this would happen — him getting stuck with someone he didn't know all that well. And, really, he would've been alright with practically anybody else, but Barbara never seemed to like him very much and in his eyes, she didn't deserve a dime from him. The only reason he'd been tolerant of her up until this point was for the sake of the kids, and the fact that it would've been awkward as fuck if he was beefing with this woman in front of them. If he ever saw her outside of the organization, though? All bets were off. Luckily for her, that had yet to happen, and the only thing he had to focus on was pawning off her name to someone else. Scanning the room, he saw Rachel with a name in her hand, and slid over to her as quickly as he could. "Yo, Rachel," he greeted, lips upward in a friendly grin for no more than a second before he got to the point, lowering his voice to a whisper, "Who'd you get? And, uh — what'll it take for us to trade? I don't know if that's like, against the rules or whatever, but I'd rather throw my wallet into the lake so it gets lost forever before I have to buy something for Barbara. I'm so serious. I'll give you anything."

@starlingisms ( xavier walsh & rachel baek ) cont'd from here

"Or maybe I need to go with a date!" She let out a huff, arms crossed at how difficult Xax was being. Honestly, Rachel thought he would have at least taken some pity on her, especially after her scandal earlier in the year with a very public break-up with another influencer. "Come on, seriously?" She could understand his hesitation; it would be risky for his reputation to be seen publicly with her, but maybe (she prayed) enough time had passed that people's opinions of her had neutralized. "Two dinners?" Tone dry and sarcastic before she made more genuine suggestions. "I assume a collaboration isn't worth much to you; what about my agent's contact info for brand deals? She's very hard to get, by the way, but she's worth every penny."

"Well, considering brands pay me millions to briefly mention them on stream, yeah, I don't think a collab would be worth much and I got my own manager, two of them actually, so I'm good." When they'd met, Xav had been on the verge of breaking through the Twitch clutter and once he had, he'd ran with it. To be fair, it wasn't like he didn't like Rachel, he did. She was hot, what wasn't there to like but he was also an asshole so he wasn't going to make this a little hard. "What exactly are you asking? You want me to go with you as friends or what?"
