Socks
Pairing: Wanda Maximoff x reader
Warnings: toxic relationships, small mentions of death, gaslighting, fighting, and miscarriage
Word Count: 4k (literally exactly 4k, I’m kinda proud)
A/N: Based on the song “1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back” by Olivia Rodrigo as suggested by @vancityfire13, I hope this meets all your hopes and expectations <3 also technically this is my first prompt from someone who’s not me??!
You met Wanda at the library. Your legs crossed, eyebrows scrunched, and bottom lip caught between your teeth, you’d settled in the familiar corner of the library's world languages section. That area was always quiet, which you’d found out after many trips to the library as a kid. When the occasional patron did wander through, perusing the shelves, sometimes they brought family or friends, weaving together sounds and syllables that had to be from another language. It was the only sound you’d tolerate while you were immersed in your reading. Well, to be fully honest, you loved it, wondering what the hushed voices were saying, what stories they were telling. So Wanda’s English was a jarring wake-up call.
“I like your socks.” Her eyes flashed to your ankles, leaving you wondering if she was more drawn to the sky blue color or the characters covering it.
You’d noticed the brunette walking the aisles about ten minutes ago. Unlike most, she ran her fingers along the worn spines, seeming only half-interested in what the titles read.
“Thanks.” Your voice was cold, unwelcoming. She gave you a terse nod before heading off, her footsteps silent against the worn carpet. You thought she was gone.
-
A week later, you were back at your spot. You’d finally finished the work you’d been putting off for weeks, just about to reward yourself with a reread of Little Women, a book you’d read an uncountable number of times since you were a child. She was an unwelcome interruption.
“I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be rude, but-”
“I was looking for a book for my brother. His name is Pietro. Was Pietro. There was a Sokovian fairytale he always loved. Begged my mother to read it to us every night. He could recite it by memory by the time he was five, knew every word. I thought I did too.” Your eyes traced down the curve of her spine. Your mother would have scolded you for standing so poorly.
“I’m sorry for your loss” was all you said, your lips forming a tight line when you finished.
“I couldn’t- I can’t remember the title.”
“I can try to help you find it?” You weren’t sure why you offered, maybe the lost look in her eyes, the growing strength of her accent as she talked, or the way her fingers traced her empty palms. No one should leave a library empty-handed.
“Do you speak Sokovian?” The corners of her eyes creased as you shook your head.
“I suppose you won’t be much help then, will you?” Her words held no bite, only the sadness of a stranger who was trying to hold herself together, her emotions threatening to unravel her at the weakened seams. You matched her facial expression out of sympathy, but she was gone before you had a chance to apologize.
-
“Do you like Disney?” she had asked you. Her eyes were back on your ankles. You were wearing the same socks as when the two of you first met. You were milliseconds away from answering, your tongue already against the roof of your mouth, ready to shut down the conversation immediately afterward. But then you noticed the way her hands fidgeted in her lap, her fingers always moving, almost like they were dancing. You sighed. You should be nicer; she’d really done nothing wrong.
“It’s alright.” Your shoulders raised and dropped, your answer purposefully vague. “Did you manage to find the book?” The darkening of her eyes was enough to tell you that, no, she hadn’t found it. “What’s the main character’s name?” Her gaze followed you as you pulled out your laptop.
“Boleslav,” she answered finally. Her gaze was timid, unsure. Why were you helping her? You’d been so closed off before. 
“Do you know any major points of the story? The names of the other characters?” Before she could answer, you eyed the pillow that sat next to you. She took a seat.
The two of you poured over Google, eventually finding the story and its location in the library. But by that point, you were too wrapped up in your findings on the Internet to get up. Too wrapped up in each other.
---
Wanda insisted she make it up to you, for finding the book for her.
“For helping me find my brother,” she insisted, pulling you out of the library. If she was anyone else, you would have responded by saying that she could make it up to you by leaving you alone with your books, but she wasn’t anyone else. So you let her tug you out of the building, Mirabelle, the librarian, giving you a wink upon seeing you leaving the building with someone else, soft smiles gracing your faces.
You thought she would’ve brought you to coffee, but it seemed you hadn’t yet developed the ability to understand her. She brought you to the city, a small store on the corner. Socks lined the walls, the different colors and patterns flooding your vision.
“Your Disney ones looked old.” You half-nodded as you scanned the store, your hand going limp in hers. You remembered learning about rods and cones in class ages ago, not quite remembering what each one did but remembering that one of them was involved in seeing colors. Those—whatever they were called—must’ve been on overdrive.
You picked one pair for her, and she, one for you. You wore those socks constantly, slipping them over your feet the second they were out of the wash. You never told Wanda about it, but you didn’t have to; her eyes fell to your ankles every time she saw you, a small smile on her face. You didn’t know if you did it for her reaction or simply because you loved them. Maybe it was both.
---
Wanda drew you into her world. Some might have used the word “yanked” given how quickly your relationship moved. But that made it sound involuntary, as if she’d forced you to move in with her when she’d asked you exactly eight months after your first date. And if you’d known she had powers when you first met her, you might’ve agreed. Maybe she’d entranced you and now you were stuck with her, even if you didn’t really want to be.
But the truth was that you did, you wanted to be with her every second you could. And though magic never left her hands when she was with you, even her name was magic, the way those two syllables rang beautifully in the air as she formally introduced herself for the first time. She spoke English when she talked to you, but you swore that whatever left her mouth was a language of her own, so elegant, sweet, and charming in a way that no English speaker could replicate.
But, one night, her words twisted into daggers, punctuated syllables sharpening into dangerous ends, the beginning of each sentence like a handle she grabbed and used to hurt you further, twist until it was lodged as deeply into your chest as it could go.
You weren’t sure what you did to make it happen. Maybe it was just a bad night. She was drunk, after all, home from some party with the Avengers that you hadn’t gone to. The two of you had talked it over before, though, both agreeing that it was too soon in your relationship to attend anything where it’d be publicly released, which was why you were confused about why she was cursing you out for abandoning her, not being there when you needed her.
You promised that you’d be sure to go next time. Wanda just turned around, dismissing you without another word. You weren’t sure what was worse, the silence or her words. She somehow missed the tears that streamed down your face.
-
The next day, she knocked on your door. This time, she was the one in tears, the rate at which they fell only increasing when she saw how puffy your eyes were.
“I- I’m sorry,” she bumbled, the sounds tumbling out of her mouth like a barrel coming down the Niagara Falls. She couldn’t have stopped them if she tried. You watched her struggle through an apology, something about her insecurities being magnified as she saw all the other couples around her seemingly happy. She just wanted that. And even though her speech was much more clumsy than the usual effortless diction you were used to hearing from her, you allowed her words to draw you in, provide you shelter from the horrors you’d experienced yesterday, when your heart raced and blood rushed your ears and your palms were so sweaty you couldn’t get a grip on anything. You allowed her arms to draw you in, make you feel safe. You allowed her to bring you home.
---
Wanda saw a side of you that no one had ever seen before. Scratch that, Wanda saw all of you. Where others would’ve looked away or missed the true meaning of your words, she dug deeper. You lived your whole life with a mask on, swapping one out for another to appease those around you. Wanda took them all off.
But she didn’t force them off; she made you want to take them off. You were the one who peeled them off one by one, the experience being extremely unnerving every time you revealed that much more of yourself to her, but you always found yourself relieved at the end. Because she accepted you, she loved you.
Right?
---
You called her once, during a mission. It was something the two of you had been doing ever since you started dating. You would ask how she was doing, make sure she was okay, and she’d do the same for you. Of course, when her missions were off-the-grid you didn’t call, but if the two of you were allowed to stay in contact, she insisted that you guys do so.
“I have to make sure my love is okay,” she’d murmured, just before she left for her first mission since the two of you started your relationship. She was holding you in her arms as the two of you swayed back and forth. Your feet were bare for once, the cold kitchen tile underfoot grounding the both of you. Neither of you had wanted to let go; your hands were clasped firmly together around her waist, and hers rested on top of yours. But eventually, the incessant honking from Tony became too much, and the two of you reluctantly moved apart.
“I’ll call you the second I can, yeah? And make sure you call me in the morning when you wake up.”
“I will,” you nodded as Wanda’s hand came up to brush against your cheek.
But somehow she’d forgotten about your agreement, and nothing but annoyance filled your ear, the phone pressed up against it.
“Y/N, I really don’t have time for this right now.” You sucked in a breath, her tone an instant reminder of that night she’d yelled at you. But that was so long ago. And you hadn’t done anything; there wasn’t a party you’d missed since then, not a moment since then that you’d let her feel alone. Or was there?
“I- I’m sorry,” you stuttered. “Should I call you back later?” All you got was a sigh, doubt and panic filling your chest in the momentary silence.
“We’ll see. Goodbye, milaya.” There was barely a pause in between her voice and the disconnect tone. You weren’t sure if the pet name was sincere or a habit leftover from the good times.
Were you still in the good times?
What went wrong?
Where did you go wrong?
-
She came back from the mission, and all was well again. She spun you around and around, her melodious giggles filling your ears and causing the corners of your mouth to lift. But you couldn’t help your brows from cinching inwards, wondering where this Wanda had been when you’d called. Was it just another fluke, or maybe something you’d imagined?
“I love you, printsessa, so, so much,” Wanda whispered. You loved the way her smooth voice filled your ears, made you feel whole again. Maybe it was the kitchen? Was that the place she felt safe, the place where she felt like she could love you fully? Maybe that’s why she seemed so closed off during the mission. When you didn’t respond, too lost in thought, she spoke up again.
“Detka, d’you know you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me? I don’t know what I’d do without you.” Her eyes sparkled. No red mist emerged from her fingertips, but you swore Wanda’s essence was magic in and of itself. How could you ever deny her?
You surrendered.
“I love you too. More than anything in the world.”
---
The next day, Wanda woke you up with excitement filling her voice, insisting that you come with her to the compound to pick up some of the things she’d left behind. 
“I want to show you off,” she’d laughed as she rolled you over.
“We’ve already met, babe. They love me, you’ve said so yourself,” you groaned. She shook her head as she corralled you into the bathroom.
“You haven’t met all of them! Now c’mon, let’s go!” You agreed, and she was right, there were lots of new people there.
“You must be Y/N, right?” You nodded as you shook the man’s hand.
“I’m Clint. I’ve heard, um, lots about you. And your socks.” The two of you laughed at his joke, but something about his chuckle was off. His smile never quite reached his eyes. Wanda whisked you off too soon for you to figure out why though, bringing you over to a rather large man. No, god, he’s a god. Thor, he said. His name is Thor.
“Hi, I’m Y/N,” you’d responded.
“The love of my life,” Wanda sighed, her voice wispy and dreamy. The god’s eyebrows had raised at that.
“Well, it’s a pleasure to meet you then, Y/N. I didn’t know Wanda was so fortunate as to have a love so strong.” Sometimes you had to remind yourself of that too. “You are very lucky, my friend.” Am I? 
-
You exchanged jokes with Natasha, learned of some of Bruce and Tony’s new projects, listened to stories of Thor’s childhood adventures on Asgard; the night went well. Until it didn’t.
You were yanked into a mostly empty room, the door quickly shut behind you. Was that a flash of red you’d seen in the corner of your eye?
“What did you do?” someone hissed. The voice was familiar, but by this point, you weren’t sure if it filled you with dread or joy when you heard it. Was that part of the excitement of your relationship, trying to figure out the complexities of it all, trying to predict which version of your lover you’d get this time?
“I don’t know,” you whispered. “I didn’t do anything, Wanda, I swear!”
“Then why is Clint telling me to break up with you? What did you say to him?” Your head shook, your whole body shook. This was news to you.
“I didn’t say anything. Please, Wan-”
“How am I supposed to believe that, Y/N? Do you really think he’d just make that up out of nowhere?” You tried to find the words, the ones you should say, the ones she’d want you to say. You had nothing. The witch’s anger grew, her hands slamming down on her sides. “God, Y/N! It’s like sometimes I don’t even know who you are!”
But wait, that was how you felt. Wasn’t it? Or had you dreamed that up too? What had you done?
“Wanda, I promise I didn’t do anything. I’ve been friendly to him all night.”
“So you expect me to believe he’s lying, then.” Your eyes fell to her chest, its rise and fall rapid but deep, going up and down several times before she spoke again. “Y/N, he named his child after my brother. Why would he lie to me?” You could do nothing, say nothing to fix this. You weren’t sure exactly what you did, but you’d messed up. Again.
“Maybe he’s right, then.” Her hand ran through her hair, the brown locks that you loved to twist around your own fingers, play with as she laid in your lap, a show playing in the background. You missed those times.
But weren’t you just doing that last night?
You weren’t sure. It seemed like so long ago.
---
Weeks, months, even a year passed. Wanda had apologized for that night at the compound. She’d also apologized for the countless number of other times the two of you had fought since then. But it was okay, you’d thought, because for all those arguments was an equal number of moments where the two of you laughed so hard you couldn’t breathe, slow-danced at 3 AM, used your hairbrushes as microphones to sing concerts for your millions of fans. At least, you thought it was an equal number. Did number matter anyway?
Wanda went from being your girlfriend, to being your fiancé, to being your wife. Like Thor had said, you were “very lucky.” You are very lucky. Because right now, you’re looking down at the stick in your hand, and there are two lines, not one. The two of you had done something so many couldn’t; that was a huge blessing. And now you had to tell Wanda.
Finding the box was harder than you thought, but the other part was much easier. All you had to do was go to the store Wanda had taken you to all that time ago, the small store on the corner. And when the brunette lifted open the lid to find a pair of socks so tiny they could only be for one thing, one person, one baby, she knew. She was ecstatic. You were relieved.
-
Four weeks. Four weeks later from that day was the worst day of your life. Just as quickly as the baby had come, it had gone. He or she was gone. Was it your fault? The doctor had been quick to shut those thoughts down, insisting that there were many factors that could’ve caused the miscarriage, but you certainly weren’t one of them.
But Wanda didn’t talk to you for a whole week, spending the nights in the guest bedroom to avoid you. It was the longest the two of you had gone without speaking. That had to mean something, right?
It did. It meant that it shouldn’t have been a surprise when you came home from work the following Monday to find half of the things missing. All of her things.
The box was still there, though; you saw it out of the corner of your eye. It sat on top of a cabinet, the two socks poking out of the top.
The two of you had fallen in love with those tiny socks faster than you’d fallen in love with each other. They held so much love, so much promise. But now they were empty, devoid of anything they might’ve held just hours before. They were nothing more than a painful reminder of what could have been, what should have been. Meanwhile, your own socks were still on, the same ones Wanda had given to you on your first date. You weren’t sure you could take them off if you tried. Was that a reminder too? Did it have significance?
The ticking of the clock suddenly caught your attention. You had been standing at the doorway for thirty minutes, but what were you supposed to do? Were you supposed to go somewhere? Where would you go? Wanda was gone, not leaving any clue as to where she could’ve run off to, and you were alone. 
When was the last time you’d been truly alone?
Didn’t you use to like being alone?
You grabbed your keys. You weren’t sure what you were looking for, but whatever it was, you wouldn’t find it here.
-
You push open the door, always the one on the right. Walk twenty or so steps through the entrance, turn left. Take another left, then walk-
It was different. Completely different. The shelves weren’t the same color, metal had been swapped for wood, the carpet was new; what had happened?
“Y/N, sweetie, is that you?” Mirabelle’s voice. At least she was still here. You turned to face her, taking in her wrinkled face, the tortoiseshell glasses that had been perched on her nose since you met her as a child. “Oh my goodness, it is! We haven’t seen you in ages. We were all so worried.”
“Wha- what happened to the library?” Her kind smile flipped, her lips separated with their corners turning downwards.
“We got a renovation at the end of last year, honey. Didn’t you see it on the news?”
“Right,” you nodded, swallowing again, trying to push down the lump that had been growing in your throat for over an hour. “Um, where’s the world languages section?”
“Upstairs, love. Take two rights and you’ll see it. Enjoy your visit, okay?” You nodded again, pressing your lips into a wavering smile that Mirabelle accepted.
You found the section easily enough, pushing yourself into one of the beanbags that crowded the floor. It was quiet—you supposed not many people came to the library on a late Tuesday afternoon—but something was missing.
No, that wasn’t it. Nothing was missing. Everything had changed, and you couldn’t settle yourself no matter how hard you tried. You couldn’t recognize the white walls or the large windows that surrounded you. You couldn’t recognize the book in your shaking hands; the title read “Little Women,” but it lacked the comfort and familiarity it once brought you. You couldn’t recognize the artwork that hung on the walls, the large signs suspended from the ceiling.
You caught a reflection in the shiny metal of a book cart that lay several feet away from you.
You couldn’t recognize yourself.
When you finally left the library, Mirabelle frowned as she watched you exit the doors, not stopping to check out a book like you always did. No one should ever leave a library empty-handed. You’d forgotten that too.
---
She came back less than a week later, her cheeks tear-stained and her eyes rimmed with red as she stumbled her way through an apology.
“It was a mistake, detka, I promise. I made such an awful mistake, and I’ll never forgive myself. I won’t blame you if you don’t forgive me either.” You stared at her, neither your eyes nor your mouth moving as you tried to take in what she was saying, tried to come up with an adequate response.
Which had changed more, the library or you?
“Please, you’re the only thing that matters in my life. I can’t lose you.” The melody of her once-full voice was broken, the chords fragmented and notes falling out of tune. It was as broken as you’d felt for the past few days. Maybe she understood. But you couldn’t think anymore because you were suddenly in her arms again, her tears soaking your shirt as she sobbed.
The library had been renovated, its modernity and welcoming environment being a major improvement to the once somewhat dilapidated building. You had slipped, your feet wrapped in the socks Wanda had given you as you stumbled down the dark, crooked hallway of your life, trying desperately to get a hand on the wall, grab a solid footing.
You had two options: save yourself or fall.
“Please, Y/N, please. Promise you’ll stay.” 
You fell backwards, your head being the first to slam into the floor.
“Of course I’ll stay, Wan. I’d never leave you.”
You weren’t sure if you’d ever get up. After all, changed or not, what’s a library without its books? Who are you without her?

Broken Melody - Part One
Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four, Part Five, Part Six, Part Seven, Part Eight, Part Nine, Part Ten, Part Eleven,
Summary: Grammy Award winning Emma Danvers is the first to say she has a pretty good life. But what happens when it implodes around her and it looks like things will never be the same again?
Words: 10k+
Warnings: None... yet...
Pairings: Emma Danvers x Lena Luthor (Eventual)
Right! I wrote the beginning of this fic months ago. It’s going to get angsty so be ready. But the purpose of the first part is to introduce this version of B!D, a well known singer in a grammy award winning band. I honestly had a great time writing this first part!
Thank you for reading and let me know if you wanna be tagged or any general feedback will be greatly appreciated.
For @thewitchandtheassassin​, @natasha-danvers​, @life-is-hella-unfair​, @finleyfray​, @supergirl-writingz​,
Tumblr media
The screeching of Emma Danver’s alarm makes her hazel green eyes shoot open. Normally on a Saturday she wouldn’t have her alarm set and would laze in bed. Especially when she is home from her latest world tour. However, today was going to be a day filled with the Superfriends, and she can’t wait!
Emma had mentioned at the latest game night that she wanted to check out a beach over an hour away from the city and how they could make a day of it. Kara, her Supergirl sister, instantly accepted the idea while bouncing up and down with excitement. Mostly everyone else agreed, happy to know the summer sun would be in full force that day.
Well they still had to persuade a few people, mainly Lena and Alex. But when Emma and Kara both knelt in front of the women with their identical Danvers pouts they were forcibly won over.
Emma smiles as she stretches and runs her hands through her wavy blonde hair. She quickly gets out of bed and opens her curtains. Sighing happily and just enjoying the sunshine blazing into her penthouse bedroom. Emma can totally see how Kara gets her Supergirl powers from the sun, how it recharges her and makes her the Woman of Steel.
After a few more minutes Emma turns and grabs her phone. While making her way to her ensuite she messages the group chat.
Emma: Gooooooodd Mmmoooorrrrnnnniiiinnnngggg!!! How’s everyone? Seriously can’t wait for today!
After having a quick shower Emma wanders back into her room and decides what to wear. She puts on her turquoise surf bikini with her tight black surfing shorts. She wears her blue jean shorts over the top, and a white tank top. She finishes her outfit off with her many bracelets, her apple watch and a layered necklace that has a star, sun and swan pendant. Symbolising each of the Danvers sisters. Alex is the star, Kara is the sun and Emma is the swan.
Swan became one of Emma’s nicknames in school due to there being a lot of Emma’s in the class. Her friends joked she was a swan princess due to doing ballet when she had asked them to come to a recital. Which they did and were in awe, but you know. Emma happily accepted the nickname, taking it as a compliment. Emma smiles as she looks at her ballet shoes strung over her mirror. ‘Another thing I need to get back into.’ Emma thinks wistfully. She still loves dancing, especially the latin styles like samba and tango. But she doesn’t have the time.
As she draws her attention to her reflection she definitely looks like a surfer chick, lean, toned and sun kissed. Which she was happily going for. She’s been dying to surf for ages but just hasn’t had the time. Her band had recently returned from a sell out world tour. And sadly most of the places they played at didn’t have beaches or the right surf. She felt sorry for her neglected surfboard in the back of the tour bus.
Her phone pings drawing her attention away from her musings. Emma laughs when she sees a few messages have already been sent.
Kara: Good morning sunshine! I’m sssoooooo excited too! Did you need me to bring anything else? I got all the food ready!
Kelly: Of course you’d have the food Kara!
Kelly: And good morning Emma! Shall I bring my swimsuit? Anyone going for a swim?
Kara: Ooo I am! And I think Emma is going to surf?
James: Why are you guys texting this early? I could have had at least another hour or more of sleep.
Alex: I agree with James… Emma, I hate you.
Emma chuckles at Alex’s message while she gets a bag ready with a change of clothes.
Emma: Love you too Alex!
Kara: Ahem… What about me?!
Emma: Love you too Kara!
Alex: You love me more though right?
Emma: No I love you both the same!
Kara: *Wink Wink*
Alex: Hey!
Nia: What am I just decoration?
Emma: No of course not Nia! I love you too!
James: What about me?
Kelly: And me!
Emma: Yes James and Kelly I love you both too.
Lena: Do you love me?
Emma pauses before she responds to Lena’s text. Honestly, she’s had a crush on her since the moment they met. But Lena is way out of Emma’s league. A CEO dating a musician and artist like Emma wouldn’t work. She’s not clever or brave like Kara or Alex.
Once when Lena had met her for lunch, Lena had explained what being a CEO entailed. Emma’s mind melted; it was so complex. Lena just laughed at her exasperated expression trying to figure it all out. “And that, my darling, is why you are an artist and I am a CEO.” Emma practically melted at Lena’s smile from across the table.
But that’s one of the things she loves about Lena, her passion for her work and drive for making the world a better place. And her smile. To Emma, Lena’s smile lights up the whole room.
Sighing Emma looks back down at her phone.
Emma: I love you the most… *Delete*
Emma: Yea I love you too. :)
‘Somewhat truthful…’ Emma thinks as she puts her phone in her pocket, grabbings her backpack, guitar case and placing it by the door. Kneeling on her sofa she pulls her surfboard up from behind, giving it a quick hug. Excitement surges through her veins at the thought of surfing the waves.
‘Rao I hope the waves are good today!’ Emma wishes as she swings the board around and accidentally knocks her recent Grammy on the floor. “Shoot!” Emma yelps and quickly drops her surfboard to pick up the award. Emma sighs in relief when she turns it over in her hands, seeing it wasn’t broken. Out of all her awards, this year's Grammy meant the most to her. The album had been a real breakthrough moment for her and the band, Axis, and they swept away the competition. Emma remembers the feeling of pride and honour when their name was called. How she and the rest of the band rushed to the stage in unison and linked arms as each said a thank you.
Emma carefully places the Grammy down and picks up her surfboard. Grabbing the rest of her stuff she locks the door behind her and takes the elevator down to her beloved yellow VW beetle. Which she affectionately calls the ‘bug’. Emma puts her stuff in the car and carefully straps the board onto the roof rack before getting into the driver's seat.
Taking her phone out she sends Lena and Kara a quick message to say she’s on her way to pick them up. Alex and Kelly are picking up Sam. Who did try and persuade Ruby to come but now as a teenager, Ruby has better things to do then hang out with her Mom and her Mom’s friends. James is giving J'onn, Nia and Brainy a ride.
Emma quickly plugs in her phone and chooses to blare out her playlist of her favourite songs. As she pulls out of the underground parking garage she starts singing and making dramatic hand movements as she dances along. Not caring if people see her.
Soon she’s outside Lena’s apartment building and as she turns the music down Lena Luthor herself was exiting the building. Emma’s mouth drops open with how beautiful Lena looks. And how different she looks too! Gone were the suits and smart wear of a CEO. Instead Lena was wearing a thigh length red patterned skirt that matched her red lips with a black crop top. To finish the look off she wore a black bowler hat.
When Lena opens the passenger door Emma quickly closes her mouth.
“Hi Em!” Lena smiles brightly at the blonde and leans over to place a kiss on Emma’s cheek. Making the blonde blush and causing her brain short circuits.
“Hi Lee!” Emma says more high pitched than normal.
Lena grins at her in amusement. ‘Rao I could get lost in those green eyes.’
“Er, Em… We gonna go?” Lena teases causing Emma to jump and pull away from the pavement. “So, how has your week been?”
“Fine. Got a commission to complete before Thursday but I’m almost done. I actually have to thank you, it's the lovely couple we met at the recent gala we went to.”
Whenever Emma is back in the city Lena always invites her to the gala’s. Surprisingly Emma finds she enjoys them, especially when it's one of Lena’s charity events. Lena and Emma are both thrilled to find Emma has a talent in being able to persuade the rich attendees to donate their money. Even from those who have never donated before. “It’s the Danvers charms!” Emma would laugh and wink at Lena when the raven haired women would be dumbfounded at the cheque in her hand from a rival.
“Mr and Mrs Green?” Lena asks, remembering how the couple were enthralled with Emma’s work as an artist and musician. Their donation had been one of the biggest of that night. ‘No surprise there.’ Lena smirks.
“Yea them.” Emma nods while concentrating on driving. She does love the city life but driving through it can be such a pain.
“What did they ask for?” Lena inquires while picking at a loose thread in her skirt.
“Mainly a seascape of a view they had back in the UK. Thatchers rock… I think.” To be honest Emma had been surprised by the Green’s enthusiasm when she showed them her portfolio. How they were willing to wait for Emma’s tour to finish before getting their commission. It had been made easier that there was a reference to work on. Even though she has never been to that part of the UK. Mainly the cities dotting around the island. And even though Emma doesn’t need the money she enjoys doing something different. Her art gives her another escape.
“What style are you doing it in?” Lena asks as she bobs her head along with Emma to the music. Something she’s never done before until getting rides with Emma. Something about the blonde’s carefree attitude rubbing off on her.
“I’m using oil this time. I think it works better with the layering and it can really make the sea look like it’s moving you know? Well… If I get it right.” Emma realises she started to ramble and quickly cuts herself off. Certain Lena wouldn’t want to hear the techniques Emma has been using. “If all goes to plan the painting should look different with the different lighting of the day.”
“I am sure you will darling.” Lena smiles widely at her.
Emma smiles back. Feeling butterflies zoom round her stomach at the term of endearment.
“Thanks Lee.” Emma taps her thumbs to the beat while they wait for a light to turn green.
“How-”
“How’d-”
They both stop when they realise they both started talking.
“You go.” Emma motions Lena to continue.
“How’s everything going with the band?”
“It’s going really, really well! We are already writing songs for the next album. But we’ve also really benefited having this time off too.” Emma grins thinking of the other band members. 
In some ways they’ve become another little family to her. The four other guys were already formed and were looking for a female influence. Emma saw the flyer and thought ‘why not!’ before calling them and doing an audition. The guys were blown away by her voice and talent. Unanimously they agreed she can become a member of the band and ultimately making her the lead singer. That was over eight years ago when Emma was eighteen and Axis were well known in certain areas of America but when Emma joined their popularity skyrocketed. 
However fame didn’t matter to Emma, but she loves performing and writing music. Especially when she gets fan messages about how her songs have helped someone get through a difficult time and gave them hope. She always makes sure to save those messages.
“Sounds exciting.” Lena agrees, nodding her head.
“Speaking of deals.” Emma pauses to concentrate on the traffic. “How’d the deal with the Japanese go?”
Even though Emma wasn’t looking at Lena she could feel the big eye roll the raven haired beauty did.
“That good huh?” Emma jokes but feels for the CEO.
“Honestly it was a nightmare. They kept going around in circles and I’m just getting over the migraine!” Lena dramatically rubs her forehead. Which Emma misses from looking at the road.
“Ah no.” Emma frowns as she quickly looks at Lena. “Are you sure you’re okay to come to the beach?”
“Yes I’m fine.” Lena smirks at Emma’s concern.
“Okay, I am glad you’re coming.” Emma smiles brightly back.
Lena raises an eyebrow. “Did I have a choice?” Lena teases.
“Yes! But it would have made me very sad if you hadn’t.” Emma pouts dramatically and pulls off her best puppy dog eyes.
“And that’s why I said yes.” Lena chuckles at how adorable Emma looks.
Soon they pull up to Kara’s building and she’s already waiting outside. Piles of bags by her feet. Both Lena and Emma laugh at the sight. “Joys of being Supergirl I guess!” Emma jokes about Kara’s metabolism.
As she parks Emma can’t help but remember the day Kara became a part of the Danvers family.
Emma had taken to the alien quicker then Alex, especially as there was only a year age difference between the two blondes. She also found she became the bridge between Alex and Kara. Over time the three learned how to live with the new dynamic and would soon enjoy each other's company. Kara and Alex would laugh when little Emma would cheerfully yell that they were the three musketeers as they played with wooden swords or practically any activity that involved the three of them. Even making hot chocolate together.
When Kara became Supergirl Emma almost had a fit. She’d been in New York for a sold out week of gigs when she had seen the news in the early hours of the morning. Frantically she called Kara to see if she was okay and getting even more frantic when she realised Alex had been on the plane too. The two sisters were eventually able to calm her down after a lot of sobbing and panic from her end. When Emma returned to National City she held onto her sisters a lot tighter that day. Eventually the three ended up falling asleep together on the sofa. Emma in the middle of the two as they wrapped their arms around each other.
Emma’s musings were interrupted when Kara slammed the car boot down hard. Causing the car to bounce.
“Careful Kara!” Emma yells, knowing full well her sister would hear her.
“Sorry little one! I’m just so excited!” Kara squeals as she opens the backseat door before leaping in.
“Hey I’m only a year younger than you!” Emma frowns into the rear view mirror to glare at her sister. Who just sticks her tongue back at her while clicking in her seat belt.
They continue the hour long drive to the beach, chatting and singing along to Emma’s playlist. Lena watches on in amazement as Kara sings the melody and Emma does some beautiful harmonies around her. They all laugh and cheer when Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ comes on.
“Come on Lena! Join in!” Emma yells while she puts the volume right up. So Lena does. When the rock part of the song comes on all three of them dance and headbang along. Lena laughs as she feels so carefree. She pauses when Emma starts singing passionately to the next verse.
So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye So you think you can love me and leave me to die Oh, baby, can’t do this to me, baby Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here
Honestly she could listen to Emma’s voice for hours. Which is probably why she secretly went to as many of Emma’s gigs as possible. But every time she would go to reveal herself to Emma she would back peddle and leave. Knowing that someone as talented as Emma was way out of her league. Her pride for her friend as she watched with the Superfriends at Kara’s apartment as Axis won Grammy after Grammy, award after award. How they screamed with joy and hugged each other after each announcement. Plus Lena thought someone as pure and happy as Emma wouldn’t do well with someone broken like Lena. So she keeps her feelings to herself and tries to be content with being Emma’s friend.
Lena’s heart warms as she remembers meeting Emma for the first time over 3 years ago. She had been at one of her first game nights with the Superfriends when a knock sounded on Kara’s door. Everyone had looked at each other in surprise as no one was missing. Lena watched Kara bounce towards the door and as she opened it a continuous scream of surprise and happiness escaped Kara’s mouth. This caused Alex to rush over in response and suddenly scream as well. The two sisters practically tackled the blonde beauty out into the hallway where they fell into a laughing heap. Kara kissed the blonde’s head over and over while Alex held onto her like a koala bear and kissed her cheek over and over.
Finally they untangled and Kara dragged the other blonde into her apartment. Excitedly introducing everyone to her little sister, Emma. The Superfriends each individually greeted the newcomer and when it came to Lena’s turn Emma had stepped forward and gave her an affectionate hug. Laughing that Kara has told Emma so much about her that she feels she already knows Lena well. When Emma stepped away from the hug they both ignored the warm feelings racing around their bodies. Lena had to agree as both the Danvers sister’s spoke of Emma fondly and how proud they were of Emma’s success. Lena hadn’t told anyone this but she bought all of Emma's music to listen to it after Kara gushed about her sister. She instantly fell in love with the voice coming through the speakers.
Kara soon asked why Emma was in National City and Emma excitedly revealed that Axis was moving to National City. Lena again ignored the feeling of excitement that shot through her. And again Emma was tackled to the floor as both Alex and Kara leapt towards her in celebration.
“Lena?” Kara’s voice breaks through her thinking and Lena turns to look back at her best friend. Listening intently as Kara excitedly explains a new prototype Brainy is designing to help Kara not be so affected by Kryptonite.
“Maybe I can help with it?” Lena offers kindly.
Kara’s smile brightens up even more. “That would be swell!”
Lena gives Kara a small smile before turning back to the front. To be honest it still stings that Kara didn’t tell her Supergirl secret to the CEO. It had been two years after Emma had moved back to National City when Lena and Kara were having lunch but Kara was being called away. Again. Lena couldn’t stop herself and blurted out she knew Kara’s secret. She will never forget how Kara’s face fell and the promise of talking about it after she’s finished. Lena’s face grew cold as her walls shot up. She told Kara not to bother and stormed out of the restaurant to her penthouse apartment. She refused to see anyone or answer her phone. Allowing her past hurts and hatred to simmer and boil.
That was until a knock sounded on her door. She chose to ignore it but the knocking persisted.
“Come on Lena, please open the door. Let’s talk about this.” Emma’s muffled voice sounded through the door.
“Why should I?” Lena spits out as she draws closer, crossing her arms tightly over her chest.
“Because you shouldn’t be alone right now.”
Lena scoffs. “And why not?”
“Because you’ll allow your demons to lie to you and it will eat you up.” Emma had experience with this herself.
Tears fill Lena’s eyes and against the screaming in her head she reaches out and opens the door.
“Hey you.” Emma gives Lena a small smile before stepping into the apartment. Placing the takeout bags on the floor and pulling Lena into a tight hug. Allowing Lena to break down as she sobs into Emma’s shoulder. All her past hurts rushing forward and spewing out.
After she was spent Emma gently led her to the sofa and reheated the food. Making sure Lena ate. They talked long into the night and when Lena started rubbing her eyes from exhaustion Emma helped her get ready for bed. As Lena slid between the sheets Emma leaned down to give her a goodnight hug. But stopped when Lena wouldn't let her go. “Stay.” Lena whispered. So Emma grabbed a pair of her spare clothes she left for times like this and got in next to her. Lena shifted over to her and rested her head on Emma’s shoulder. Emma wrapped her arms around Lena and held her close. They don’t say anything more but drift into a peaceful sleep.
“We’re here!” Emma sings out, causing Lena to jump slightly. They pull into a car park right next to the beach.
“Oh wow!! Look at the sea! It’s so beautiful!” Kara gasps as she presses herself against the window and like an excited child she unbuckles and races towards the beach. Having already spotted Alex, Kelly and Sam setting up.
Emma snorts at her sister’s behaviour while she unbuckles her seatbelt.
“Er… She will help us with the food? Right?” Lena looks back at the overflow of food bags in the back of the bug.
“Yea as soon as she realises she will shoot back up here.” Emma chuckles while getting out of the car. And Kara did just that as Emma went to pay for a parking ticket she watched Kara race back up to them, in human speed. “Glad to see you helping.” Emma raises an eyebrow at her sister as Kara reaches the bug.
“Sorry! I just got really excited! It’s so beautiful here!” Kara bounces like a puppy.
“Now you understand why I dragged you here instead of going to the beach at NC?” Emma says while carefully unstrapping her board before lowering it and leaning it up against the bug.
“Yes, yes.” Kara keeps her eyes on the beach.
“Hey.” Emma smirks at her distracted sister.
“Yea?” Kara tears her eyes away to look at Emma. Smiling when Emma opens are arms and they hug. “Haven’t been able to give you one yet.” Emma says in her ear. Kara buries her face into Emma’s neck, enjoying the warmth and feeling of home whenever she hugs her sisters.
The car door closing makes them break apart. “Okay I think that’s everything.” Lena says while looking at the small mountain of bags.
“Thanks Lena!” Kara sings as she grabs half of the bags before Emma can tell her to only take a few. Hopefully no one will question how a slim woman can carry that much weight. Lena catches Emma’s eye and they both roll their eyes at each other.
“Jink!” Emma yells causing Lena to do another eye roll. Before Emma can reach down for her stuff Lena steps forward.
“Can I have a hug too?”
“Sure you can Lee.” Emma opens her arms wide and Lena almost tackles her with her enthusiasm. They both sigh happily as they hold onto each other a bit longer than necessary. Emma breaks the hug and steps back, grabbing her backpack, placing a few food bags on her shoulders picking up her guitar, and securing her surfboard under her arm. “Oh Lee don’t take that many, Kara will come up and get the last few.”
“Okay.” Lena nods while swinging a food bag on each of her shoulders and they start walking towards the beach. “Kara is right though, it’s really beautiful here.”
Emma smiles at her, happy Lena approves. The sand was a beautiful white which made the sea clear and looked like a gorgeous turquoise and teal. The richness of the colours makes Emma want to weep with happiness. They could pretend like they were in the Caribbean or on the Hawaiian islands.
“Hey Peanut!” Alex yells as Emma approaches her.
Peanut has always been Alex’s nickname for Emma since their parents told three year old Alex she was going to be a big sister. Alex had been fascinated about it all and when her Mom had told her the baby was the size of a peanut the name stuck. Even when Emma grew and was the size of tennis ball Alex would still refer to the baby as Peanut.
“Hey sis!” Emma yells back, dumping her stuff on one of the picnic blankets. Alex comes over and pulls Emma into a tight hug, quickly followed by Kelly and Sam. “Been a long time Sam, how are you?”
“I know I’m sorry!” Sam says as she takes a step back. “Life’s been hectic!”
“Oh don’t I know it.” Emma laughs. “Maybe you can ask your boss to allow you to have a life?” Emma teases while giving Lena a pointed look.
“Not my problem she wants to work longer hours then she is contracted!” Lena places her hands on her hips.
“Maybe she’s following her boss's example? And maybe the boss needs to cut down too? Maybe relax a bit?” Emma stalks towards her crush.
“Maybe-” Lena stops what she was going to say and tilts her head as she watches Emma approach. A smirk on her face. “What are you doing?”
Suddenly Emma reaches out and starts tickling Lena who laughs loudly and tries to swat the blonde away.
“Lena! She’s ticklish too!” Alex snickers as she goes through the food bags.
“Traitor!” Emma yells as Lena starts her own assault. The two women fall to the sand in fits of giggles as they wrestle. Before Emma can gain the upper hand Lena straddles her and continues tickling her. “No! Lena!” Emma kicks out trying to shift the woman on top of her. But Lena was not budging. “Argh! I surrender! Please!” Emma wheezes.
“I win?" Lena stops and gazes down at Emma triumphantly.
“You win.” Emma coughs and when Lena moves off her she instantly misses the feeling of Lena’s weight on top of her.
“Are you ladies done or are you going to help?” Alex raises her eyebrow at them as they catch their breath.
“Yes ma'am.” Emma salutes before getting up, rubbing the sand off herself and reaching out to help Lena up. They smirk at each other and set to work getting the rest of the blankets and chairs out for the Superfriends.
Soon the other group arrives and they all sit chatting and relaxing. The men start setting the BBQ up, insisting they can do it, much to the amusement of the women as they try to do it without looking at the instructions.
Alex, Kara and Emma smile at each other as they share a look before giggling. The Danvers sisters have barbecuing in the great outdoors down to an art. But if it keeps the men happy they stay quiet. Sighing Emma turns away from the entertainment and looks out to sea, watching the waves and the surfers riding them.
Alex shuffles up to her, resting her head on Emma’s shoulder. “You can go if you want.”
Emma rests the side of her head on her sister’s. “I know, but the waves aren’t quite right yet.”
“Okay.” Alex wraps her arms around Emma, who returns the gesture and holds onto Alex. Emma moves her head and kisses Alex’s head before resting her own on Alex’s again.
Alex smiles and kisses Emma’s hand that's holding her close. At first Alex wasn’t too keen on the idea of coming to the beach, too much work to do at the DEO and an hour travelling seems like an eternity. But Alex is glad she came. They sit content.
“How can you tell if the waves are not right?” Brainy asks, having left J'onn and James to sort out the BBQ.
Emma looks up at him. “I don’t know, you just can. It’s a feeling.” Emma runs a hand through her hair trying to think of a better way to explain it. “Like when you are out there you know a big wave is coming, the wave. You just got to be patient and take the moment when it comes.”
Brainy tilts his head at her. “I think I understand.”
“Well I’m glad you did.” Alex snorts and yelps when Emma playfully slaps her bare arm.
“Oh come on I didn’t slap you that hard!” Emma laughs but rubs her sister’s arm.
“Anyone wanna play rounders?” Lena asks the group as she picks up one of her bags. She pulls out a rounders bat, which is shorter than a baseball bat, and ball.
“Rounders?” Kara asks, confused. “Don’t you mean baseball?”
“No, I mean rounders, it’s what we played at my boarding school. It’s the game that baseball came from. The first known account of it was in 1744 with the Tudors.” Half of the group look at Lena blankly, while the other half look interested and know who the Tudors are. “Basically you still have four bases, home runs etc. The bowler must do underarm, though we can do overarm…” Lena pauses. “It’s just different okay?”
“Sounds good to me!” Sam leaps to her feet and starts setting the four bases up. Everyone else follows suit and splits into teams, Lena and Sam being the captains of each team. On Lena’s team is Kara, James, Alex and Emma versus Sam’s team which has Kelly, J'onn, Brainy and Nia.
After a coin toss Lena’s team bats first with Sam being the bowler, or pitcher, as Alex yells out.
“And can we make a rule of no powers? We don’t want the ball getting batted into space!” Sam jokes as she jogs to bowler base.
“Sounds fair.” Kara says looking at J'onn who nods in agreement. She gets into position to bat. She hits the ball no problem and starts to run, but she hits the ball too high and Brainy is already waiting to catch it.
“Out!” Sam yells as Brainy holds the ball in his hand, causing Kara to skid to a halt. She turns and walks back to the team, kicking the sand as she goes.
“Hard luck sis.” Alex rubs Kara’s back when she comes back to the line up. Pouting all the way. Emma gives her a hug and kisses her cheek.
“You’ll do it next time.” Emma reassures her.
They watch James get into position and hit quite a good ball. He manages to get to third base before having to stop when Nia catches the ball while on 4th base.
Lena is the next to go and Emma can’t help but watch as she sways her hips getting ready to strike. Her ball goes low and far. She sprints off and her team screams and cheers when she manages to do a home run.
“Nicely done Lee!” Emma holds her hand out to high five the out of breath CEO.
“Thanks.” Lena smiles brightly at the blonde while holding onto her hand longer than necessary.
Alex is up next, feeling the pressure of going after Lena’s home run.
“You got this babe!” Kelly smiles from the 2nd base. Alex smiles back at her before readying herself. She misses the first ball.
“Strike 1!”
Huffing Alex gets back into position again. And misses.
“Strike two!”
“You got this Al!” Emma claps and encourages her sister.
Taking a deep breath Alex readies herself and watches the ball. She manages to hit it and sprints to 2nd base.
“Nice to see you Alex!” Kelly teases the red head causing Alex to gently shove her girlfriend.
“Right you’re up Emma!” Sam calls as she catches the ball.
Emma picks the bat up, wiping the sand off it and stands in position. Noticing the opponents are standing mainly to the left, Emma decides to trick them. When Sam throws the ball she quickly turns her body and whacks the ball to the right side of the field far away from the group. She runs half the way and seeing Brainy is still running to the ball she walks the rest of the way, dancing and blowing kisses. She starts sprinting the last few feet as the ball is being thrown towards Nia. The team celebrates her home run and they play a few more rounds, having a few collisions and lots of laughter. They have two more goes each and swap over. Lena takes over as the bowler. “Pitcher!” Alex yells as she runs to man 2nd base.
The new batting team does just as well and Sam’s team are one point behind. J’onn is up as the last batter, it’s all on him. If he gets a home run Sam’s team has won the game. Emma watches the ball carefully as Lena throws it and in a split second it's coming right at her. She reaches out her hand and catches it. Everyone stares dumbfoundead before yelling in surprise and either excitement from winning or groans for losing.
Emma’s team crowd her and she laughs at the attention.
“Emma?” A voice says behind her.
Emma’s head shoots round and she smiles when she sees her bandmates standing there.
“Guys?” She rushes towards them. Emma had told them of her plans and had invited them to join. They had said they were busy so it's a huge surprise to Emma that they stood in front of her. “What are you doing here?”
“We are… Wanted to talk to you.” Jack, the guitarist and other singer, says before he looks at the Superfriends behind Emma, watching them intently. “Alone.”
“Sure.” Emma shrugs, she turns back to Lena and throws her the ball. Emma walks with her bandmates along the beach until they are far enough away. Though Emma is sure Kara can still hear them. “So, whats up? Everything okay?”
“Er… So about that-” Danny, the drummer, starts but rubs his neck. Feeling very awkward. Frankie, the keyboardist, doesn’t make eye contact with Emma and shuffles his feet in the sand.
Mick interrupts. “We want to leave the band.”
Emma’s mind screeches to a halt. “Leave? All of you?”
“Yea Em. Just with Jack getting engaged, Frankie’s Dad being ill and Danny’s baby is due. We just don’t have the same drive like you do.” Mick looks sadly at her. “We are a great team, but it’s just not the same. After moving to National City we realised we want to settle, have families, the whole white picket fence thing.”
Emma places her hands on her hips, biting her lips to stop the tears threatening to fall. “What about the new album? We’ve already written most of the songs.”
“You don’t need us Em. You are the front runner and can do this with anyone.” Jack tries to reassure her.
“But they won’t be you.” Emma’s heart starts to break when she looks at the finality in each of their eyes. “And… And nothing I can say will change your minds?”
Her four bandmates shake their heads.
“Okay.” Emma looks up at the sky, taking a deep breath before looking back at the men in front of her. “Well, can we do a farewell tour?”
“Sounds like a good plan.” Danny smiles sadly at her and the other three nod.
“Can we give you a hug?” Jack asks quietly, hating seeing Emma so defeated.
Emma nods and they go in for a long group hug. But as the tears start to spill Emma breaks the hug and rushes back to the Superfriends. Ignoring any questions, she throws off her clothes and jewellery and grabs her board. Sprinting to the surf and diving into the sea.
She paddles quickly, still hearing voices, most likely Kara and Alex, calling after her. But she drowns it out by duck diving under a wave as it rolls over her and she resurfaces. Emma continues further out past the swell where she can stop and just lie there. Letting the board bob as she gazes at the horizon. Emma allows her tears to fall. Her face distorts with her disappointment and hurt.
‘What am I going to do?’ Emma thinks. She gets why the guys want to leave. Knowing this would happen one day. Or at least a break, but it still hurts. ‘Since when did it change for them?’ Emma stays like this for a while, lost in her own thoughts.
Some time later splashing behind her makes her turn her head and she sits up. A wet laugh breaks through her lips when she sees Kara and Alex balancing on a paddle board trying to reach her. Alex particularly looks like how a cat would look in this situation. On her knees and very tense having come to a very deep part of the beach. Alex doesn’t like not being able to touch the bottom, or see it. Kara is using the paddle, obviously using a bit of her super strength with how quickly they are going.
“What you laughing at?” Alex snaps.
“Nothing.” Emma smiles sadly at her while wiping the tears from her face. She swings her legs around and places them either side of the board. When the paddle board comes alongside Emma’s, Kara moves to sit down. Causing Alex to shriek as the board rocks dangerously. Emma reaches out and steadies it while trying not to laugh.
“Sorry Alex!” Kara apologises before turning her attention to Emma. “You okay?”
Immediately Emma’s smile drops and her eyes fill with tears again. She furiously rubs her eyes to stop them. “Yea fine.”
“No you’re not.” Alex sighs, hating seeing her sister look so unhappy.
“Guessing you heard?” Emma looks at Kara who nods sadly. Crinkle on her forehead evident of her concern. Emma looks down at her hands, not able to look at her sisters anymore. “I just… I get why…” Emma exhales deeply. “It just hurts you know. We are so in sync with each other and I honestly can’t imagine having to restart all that again.”
“But you will.” Alex reaches out and touches Emma’s linked hands. “Because your voice, your music needs to be heard Em.”
“Yea it's one of my favourite sounds, like ever.” Kara agrees. “But you know you will always have us, right?”
Emma nods, allowing a few more tears to fall.
Alex reaches out and wipes the tears from Emma’s cheeks. “And yes it sucks right in this moment but you will get through this. We will both help you through this.”
“Totally.” Kara agrees.
“Thanks.” Somehow Alex manages to hug Emma without falling in and Kara joins them.
Right on queue Kara’s stomach rumbles. “Oh and lunch is ready.”
“Uh oh the monsters coming.” Emma smirks as she looks at her alien sister.
“Race ya?!” Kara jumps to her feet making the board rock dangerously and had Emma not been holding Alex the red head would have fallen in. After making sure her sisters were okay Emma waves them off.
“Nah, you go on ahead, I’ll be right behind you.”
Emma watches her sisters go, hoping Kara has enough control not to cause Alex to fall in too far from the beach. She keeps her eyes fixed on them, slowly following in case Alex needed her. But when they reach the shore Emma lets out the breath she didn’t realise she was holding. Emma chuckles when Kara returns the paddle board they borrowed to get to her.
Shaking her head Emma starts slowly paddling into the swell and waits, her board moving with the ocean. Suddenly she feels a shift. Emma lies on her stomach and starts paddling hard. She smiles as her board gets picked up by the huge wave. Whooping as her board flies through the tube, she reaches out and skims her hand along the break. She comes out the other end and using the momentum turns her board, shooting her closer to the beach. Until finally her board slows down and she jumps off, wading the short distance to the shore.
“Hey!” A surfer approaches her, smiling flirtatiously. His brunette hair slicked back from the sea.
“Hi.” Emma responds while picking up her board.
“That was a sweet wave you just did!” His enthusiasm makes Emma smile.
“Thanks, kind of wish it went on forever.” She admits, cause really there was nothing like going through the tube of a wave. The colours and sounds were breathtaking.
“Ah man I know right?!” He laughs. “So, I was wondering if I could have your number?”
“EMMA!” She turns to look at Kara who is waving her arms about wildly. Most likely due to Alex saying she can’t eat until Emma joins them.
“Thank you but I’m kind of not available. Sorry.”
“No worries at all.” He looks slightly disappointed but still smiles.
“EMMAAAAAA!!!”
Emma laughs at how Kara’s yells got even louder. “Well I better go, don’t want my sister getting any more hangry.” Emma starts to walk back to the group.
“It was a pleasure meeting you, Emma.” He calls after her.
Emma swings round but continues walking backwards. “You too.” She turns back around, smiling and shaking her head.
As soon as Emma gets near, Kara is loading her plate up at top, human, speed. Emma chuckles at the sight and digs the end of her board into the sand before taking the leash off and flopping onto the picnic blanket.
“Who was that?” Kelly asked across from her. Lena pretends she isn’t listening in as she gets some food.
“Oh just some guy congratulating me on my sweet wave.” Emma imitates the guy's accent which makes them laugh.
“And he wanted her number!” Kara teases while she sits next to Emma.
Whistles and ooo’s sound around the group. Alex watches bemused as Lena purses her lips before going back to a neutral expression.
“So where’s the number?” Sam asks excitedly, not missing Lena’s rigid posture.
“Meh, not my type.” Emma tries to play it off cooly while she grabs her top and shorts to change into again. Not minding that they will get a bit damp as the sun is out in full blaze. She also applies her suncream handing it around and reminding everyone to keep it topped up.
“Since when has hunky surfer boy not been your type?” Kara asks confused as she focuses on the surfer. “Honestly I could grate cheese on his abs!”
“Kara!” Emma laughs loudly while she dishes up a plate of food.
“You also said you weren’t available,” Kara presses on, missing the looks Alex was giving her. “Who's the lucky guy or gal?” Emma had come out as bisexual when she was a young teenager. Her Mom and sister’s supported her and Emma was glad she could do the same for Alex when she came out to her. Alex had even flown out specially to where Emma was gigging to tell her. At first Emma was really worried when Alex avoided eye contact and was nervously fidgeting in her seat. When Alex finally blurted it out Emma held her sister close. Saying how proud she was of her and her love for her sister hadn’t changed.
“No one, I just wanted to get him off my back.” Emma says nonchalantly but inside she was freaking out. She’d said it because yes she wasn’t available because her heart belonged to Lena.
Kelly gives Alex a look and watches as Emma settles in-between Lena and Kara under the umbrella they were sitting under. Alex doesn’t miss how much closer Emma sits to Lena than her sister.
The Superfriends continue talking and when everyone has finished eating they split off to do their own thing. Alex and Kelly go for a walk, mainly to come up with a plan to get Emma and Lena together. While Kara, J'onn, Sam, Nia, Brainy and James play volleyball. Girls and against boys. “Original.” Emma mutters causing Lena to snort.
Lena and Emma opt to stay with everyones stuff. Lena is happy to sit back against the pile and read a book she’s been wanting to read for months but never had the chance.
Emma sighs as she looks at her guitar case. Twiddling her thumbs for a moment she draws her knees to her chest and watches the waves. But not feeling quite ready to get back in.
After half an hour Lena puts her book down and focuses on Emma. “Something on your mind?” Lena asks, nudging her shoulder into Emma, causing the blonde to sway.
“Guessing Kara told you?” Emma keeps her eyes fixed in front of her.
“Yes, she was relaying what was being said.” Lena says apologetically.
“It’s okay. Makes it easier in a way.” Sighing heavily Emma turns to look at Lena. Who is watching her with concern. “I just don’t know what to do. I need to look for new bandmates, but that just seems so daunting. Can I really go through that all again?” Emma runs her hands through her hair. Huffing she looks back into emerald eyes. “Okay if we don’t talk about it? Just enjoy what we have right now?”
“And what do we have?”
“Great company, good food and a wonderful view.” Emma motions to the beach around them.
“Yea, I can do that.” Lena keeps her eyes on Emma.
“Go back to your book Lee. I’ll be fine.” Emma tries to smile reassuringly.
Lena doesn’t buy it but starts reading again. She watches Emma from the corner of her eye as she shuffles over to her guitar case, opening it and pulling the guitar out, making sure it is in tune.
Emma gets her songbook out of her case, opening the page to a song she had started writing. Making sure she doesn’t hit Lena with her guitar Emma settles back down. Grabbing her phone she hits record and starts plucking. Softly singing to herself.
Tell me somethin', girl Are you happy in this modern world? Or do you need more? Is there somethin' else you're searchin' for?
Emma pauses as she remembers a chorus of a song she’s been working on. She quickly flips to that page and moves her fingers to find the chords. She continues to play. Not realising her soft singing has steadily got louder.
I'm falling
Emma sees Lena in her mind as she sings. Her pain at falling for her friend and not having the courage to take it deeper.
In all the good times I find myself Longin' for change And in the bad times I fear myself
Sighing Emma looks at the sea before turning her head slightly to look at the raven haired beauty. Whose focus is on the book in front of her. Returning her attention to her notebook Emma keeps playing and singing.
I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in I'll never meet the ground Crash through the surface, where they can't hurt us We're far from the shallow now
Lifting her head she focuses on the sea again.
In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow In the shallow, shallow We're far from the shallow now.
Emma pauses and stops the recording. Running a hand through her hair which starts getting more wavy from getting wet.
“Wow Em.” Lena breathes out.
Emma turns to Lena who put the book next to her. “You like that?”
“Yes, seriously… I don’t have the words.”
“Thanks, it’s not really finished. It needs another verse…” Emma goes through her notebook but comes up empty. Replaying the first verse Emma closes her eyes to figure out the words for the second verse.
Tell me something, boy
“What rhymes with boy?” Emma mutters to herself. “Toy? No… Void?”
Aren't you tired tryin' to fill that void?
Emma sighs as she remembers friends she has lost due to depression and addiction. Knowing how hard it is to feel whole and get out of the pit.
Or do you need more? Ain't it hard keeping it so hardcore?
She sings through the bridge and the chorus again, making sure it all fits. But to her horror she realises she stopped the recording.
“Crap!” Looking down her phone wasn’t where she left it. Instead it's in Lena’s hand.
“I could see you didn’t press record so I did it for you.” Lena answers Emma’s questioning gaze as she presses the button to stop the recording.
“Thanks Lee.” Emma takes her phone and grabs her pen, listening to the recording and writing the song out in full with the chords.
Lena watches Emma. “Do you usually write songs that quickly?” Lena asks, fascinated.
Emma laughs in response. “No, not usually. I guess I was more inspired.” She shrugs, placing her guitar back in the case with her notebook. She shuffles back over to Lena. “Can I?”
Lena looks up and nods, letting Emma lean down, resting her head in Lena’s lap. They do this quite often and it always makes Lena’s heart skip a beat. Slowly she puts her book down beside her and runs a hand through Emma’s hair. Looking at the view and doing what Emma said, enjoying the moment.
Time passes on and Emma watches the group playing volleyball. Kelly and Alex have joined them, Kelly staying with the girls while Alex went over to the boys side. Emma smirks when Kara would not so sneakily use her powers to gain an advantage.
But Emma’s attention diverted back to the sea, the tide was coming in and the swell had gotten bigger. Turning her head to look up at Lena Emma pauses. Her eyes linger on Lena’s chest before taking in her profile. ‘Rao she’s so beautiful.’
“Okay if I catch a few more waves?” Emma asks, finding her voice.
Looking down Lena smiles. “Sure.”
“Thanks Lee.” Emma sits up and presses a kiss to Lena’s cheek. As Emma takes her clothes off she grabs her board and runs to the surf. Lena touches her flushed cheek and smiles softly.
Soon the volleyball group end their game, the boys team winning by a few points. They head back to their set up, laughing at how both J'onn and Kara leapt for the ball, only to miss it completely.
“Hi Lena!” Kara says while sitting next to her best friend. “How's the book?”
“It’s…” Lena looks down at the book and realises she’s only got through part of the first chapter. Her attention had mainly been watching Emma surf. “Slow.”
“Ah I hate it when that happens!” Kara hands Lena a drink while they sit and watch Emma. Who had just gone through another tube, much to the excitement of the surfers watching in the shallows. “I don’t know how she makes it look so easy!”
“It’s one of her many talents.” Lena agrees, though there is always a feeling of anxiety whenever anyone she cares for is in any body of water.
“Totally.” Kara says before sighing sadly.
“Kara?” Lena asks concerned for the Super.
“I just… She’s worked so hard. I know she will come back from this, but when Alex and I got to her she… She just looked so broken.” Kara sighs again. Worry filling her eyes as she watches her sister.
“She didn’t want to talk about it. But said how daunting it is to find new bandmates. Which I can understand.” Lena knows how hard it is to make friends in general.
“Yea it’s not the easiest of processes. She needs to click with them, for them to become in sync with each other and then get on with them. How they managed to drive around in that tour bus all over America and later the world is beyond me!” Kara says with wide eyes, she had joined Emma for a few gigs and thankfully the venues weren’t too far from each other. But Kara found the journey long and boring.
“Kara, anything slower then you flying is beyond you!” Lena's teasing causes Kara to laugh loudly.
“True!”
They continue watching Emma who attempts a few aerial tricks. The spray of the sea flying high above her. “She wrote a really beautiful song just now.”
“Really?” Kara perks up and Lena nods. “Think she’ll play it for us?”
“Maybe.” Lena hopes Emma does. She really wants to hear it again.
While Emma still surfs the Superfriends play UNO. Laughing at how competitive Alex is getting and only getting calmed down when Kelly gives her a gentle kiss. 
As the sun starts to slowly descend Emma finally gets out of the sea. Waving goodbye to a group of surfers she had been talking to.
She notices a fire has been built in the centre of the Superfriends circle and a few of them are roasting marshmallows.
Emma’s body is completely shattered but she smiles at the feeling. Making a note to come back here as much as she can. Even if the weather isn’t perfect like today.
The Superfriends greet her while she grabs her stuff to change. Alex stands and uses one of the blankets to block anyone’s view of Emma. Kara joins in and goes to the other side. Emma scoffs knowing full well she can change without showing anything and there has been no paparazzi bothering her.
Finally dry and feeling much warmer Emma sits next to Lena and places her head on her shoulder. She can’t help but yawn and let her eyes drift.
“Tired Em?” Alex teases from across the circle and smiles at Lena whose cheeks are tinged with red.
“Uhmm.” Emma confirms. “Do we have any more food?” She asks, keeping her eyes closed. “Or has Kara eaten it all?”
“Hey!” Kara swats Emma playfully but causes Emma to jump and glare at her. “Sorry! Did I hurt you?” Kara asks, panicked.
“No, I was just surprised.” Emma sighs before resting her head back on Lena’s shoulder.
“Well I did see a pizza place as we drove in. Maybe we can order?” Nia asks.
“Sounds like a good plan to me!” Emma gives a thumbs up. Pizza is one of her favourite foods.
With the joys of technology the friends order and half an hour later a pizza boy with a mountainful of pizza boxes comes towards them. They thank him and dig in. Emma grabs Lena and her pizza, two cans of soda and some salad left over from lunch.
“M’lady.” Emma holds out the cans which Lena takes. “I got some salad too.” Emma places the container in front of Lena.
“Thank you Em.” Lena says touched that Emma thought about her. She opens the lid and wonders how she can eat it. Looking up she sees Emma holding out a knife and fork for her and she smiles.
“You may need this.”
Lena grins back thanking her and takes the cutlery from the blonde.
Emma happily munches away at the pizza, rolling her eyes when the debate about Hawaiian pizza is brought up.
“Personally I don’t see anything wrong with it.” Sam defends laughing at Brainy’s stunned face.
“But to have a fruit on a savoury dish… it just does not compute.”
“Brainy.” Emma gets the alien’s attention. “Have you actually tried it?”
“No I have not.” He looks appalled that Emma would ask that.
“Then how’d you know if it doesn’t work?” Emma tilts her head.
After a moment of thinking Brainy nods. “Fair point.”
“Next game night I will order one and you can try it!” Sam says happily while winking at Emma, who smiles back.
“Just keep it away from me.” Alex says, shivering at the thought.
“Sorry to change the subject, buuutttt, Emma.” Kara says making Emma freeze while her last pizza slice was near her lips. She lowers it slightly while looking at her sister, who is beaming from ear to ear.
“Yea?”
“I saw you working on a song, wanna share it?”
All the Superfriends turn to look at Emma expectantly. Always appreciative of hearing anything Emma is working on. Taking a deep breath she lowers the slice back to the box and wipes her hands on a napkin.
“Peanut, you don’t have too.” Alex says glaring at Kara. Emma would do anything to make her sisters happy, Alex knew this. So did Kara. And yes, they would both exploit it sometimes.
“No, it’s okay. Would be great to get everyone's opinion.” Emma grabs her guitar and notebook. Reminding herself of the chords. “So… This… Well…” Sighing heavily, Emma closes her eyes to control her nerves. “I kind of imagine this as a duet, but with, well, the band breaking up. I may have to rethink it a bit.” Emma focuses on the fire in front of her, feeling too embarrassed to look at anyone.
She starts playing the chords and sings. Allowing the music to wash over and for her voice to carry with the wind. Emma adds the new verse but as she nears the end she feels her emotions take over, her frustration at her situation and the need to release it. She improvises. Closing her eyes and allowing herself to go with it.
Whoa-oh-ah-oh-ahh
Emma belts out, slamming her fingers into the guitar strings as she increases in passion and volume.
I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in I'll never meet the ground Crash through the surface, where they can't hurt us We're far from the shallow now
A smile graces Emma’s face as she lifts her head.
In the shallow, shallow In the shallow, shallow
Emma softens her voice, allowing the natural end of the song to take place.
In the shallow, shallow We're far from the shallow now.
Emma allows the last chord to hold longer than necessary. She keeps her eyes closed and waits.
A huge roar around her causes her to jump and open her eyes. A crowd has gathered round the group and are applauding her. The Superfriends all clap wildly too, Alex wipes tears from her face and Kara beams as brightly as the sun. Emma turns to look at Lena and her smile is as bright, if not brighter then Kara’s. Her green eyes simmering with tears. Emma watches as one falls and she gently reaches out and wipes it away with her thumb.
She then acknowledges the crowd with a small wave and thanks them with a bow of her head. They soon disperse, returning to their own groups and Emma sighs in relief.
“So, was the song okay?” Emma asks while picking at a chipped bit of wood on the base of her guitar.
“Okay?” Alex's voice booms causing Emma to quickly look at her sister. Alex’s eyes are wide. “Okay? Em that song… Wow I don’t have the words!”
“That’s what Lena said.” Emma smiles at the two women.
“Well it’s true.” Lena grins back, nudging her shoulder into the blonde’s.
The other Superfriends nod and agree.
“It really moved me.” Sam says smiling at Emma who blushes in response.
“Yes.” Brainy adds. “Very- touching.” Nia smiles at him. Emma grins too, happy Brainy was able to express himself.
Emma plays a few more well known songs and the Superfriends join in. But as the sun dips slowly into the horizon Emma stops and hands the guitar to James who continues playing. Not as well as Emma but enough.
Emma heads back towards the surf, wading in up to below her knees. Taking deep breaths she watches the colours change, memorising the rich reds, oranges and yellows. Lena comes and stands next to her. They watch in comfortable silence and Lena links her fingers with Emma’s. They smile softly to each other before watching the sun dip under the horizon.

may your days be merry and bright
"So many of her favourite Christmas traditions have had to be put on hold this year, and she needs this one night just so she can feel like her old self again."
or, a grumpy, tired and extremely pregnant amy learns she can always rely on her weird work family. (merry christmas/happy holidays everyone!) thank you @fourdrinkamy for a wonderful prompt & @amyscascadingtabs for her infinite wisdom about pregnancy!
read on ao3 -
Amy Santiago has always adored Christmas.
The annual, extremely chaotic congregation of her ever-growing family, the twinkling lights, the festive cheer. The spreadsheets and planning that goes into choosing the perfect gifts on a strict budget. Her mom’s cooking and the way that everyone always acts a little kinder, a little merrier. The movies and the songs and lately, the privilege of sharing it with her favourite person in the entire world.
Next year, they’ll be sharing Christmas with their baby. Next year there will be unfairly adorable Santa themed baby clothes to buy and cheesy family Christmas card photos to pose for and new traditions to make, and Amy is beyond excited for that – but this year, the whole being eight months pregnant thing has inevitably put a bit of a damper on her usually thriving holiday spirit.
The swollen feet and the constant hunger and crippling fatigue and the Braxton Hicks contractions are bad enough, but it’s the endless anxious waiting that’s slowly killing her – the crib is assembled and the hospital bag has been packed and repacked and the binder is done and she’s read every single pregnancy book available to her cover to cover, so thoroughly that according to Jake she’s been reciting facts about infant care in her sleep.
They’re ready, or as ready as they’ll ever be, but now it feels like all they can do is wait.
Amy hates waiting.
And now the most wonderful time of year suddenly feels a lot less wonderful, because she can’t go home for the holidays and enjoy Nochebuena with her family like she has every single other year without fail. She can’t enjoy getting absolutely wasted dancing to Christmas music at Shaw’s or even lure her husband into a supply closet with some mistletoe.
Coupled with her early maternity leave (doctor and captain’s orders, much to her disappointment) meaning she’s stuck at home all day every day with her FOMOW at an all-time high, she feels like she’s at breaking point.
Amy frowns at herself in the mirror, adjusting her dress again – it’s a simple red one that Rosa helped her pick out, neither of them particularly enamoured with the bedazzled maternity pants Gina sent her. She tries to take a calming deep breath, forcing a smile before letting her features fall back into place. It’s the first time she’s bothered to put make-up on all week, but the dark bags under her eyes still seem to taunt her.
Not for the first time, despite how badly she’s been looking forward to this Christmas party, she considers just giving up and staying home.
Luckily for her, Jake chooses this exact moment to appear smiling in the mirror beside her.
“You look beautiful, Ames.” He says fondly – he’s taken to telling her that every single day now that she can barely recognise her own body anymore. Though she finds it hard to believe him, each and every time he says it with the exact same reverence that he did on their first date, and each and every time she can barely suppress a soft smile.
“You’re biased.” She pokes him in the shoulder fondly - he comes closer, wrapping his arms around her in response, swaying a little as they look at each other in the mirror.
“You know I mean it, right? I love absolutely all of you. You could grow an extra head or swell to the size of the moon or shrink down to the size of a mouse and I’d still think you’re the most beautiful woman in the entire universe.”
“Even if I were the size of a mouse?”
“Definitely. I’d carry you round in my pocket and everything. Stuart Little-stylez.” She laughs, shaking her head, but now carrying a lightness in her chest that’s hard to come by these days. He’s been the most supportive partner she could ask throughout these last eight months, although really that’s also true of the last five years they’ve been together.
“Thank you. You’re not bad, either.”
“Oh, I know.” He grins with a familiar bravado that puts her at ease, kissing her cheek. “You ready to go?”
She assesses her appearance in the mirror again, but this time she doesn’t need to force a smile. “I’m ready.”
***
Being thirty-six weeks pregnant, on top of all its other less than desirable side effects, cruelly makes Amy’s devotion to punctuality far more difficult to maintain – she counts it as a victory when they arrive outside the Holt-Cozner household merely five minutes late. The engine sputters to a halt and Mariah Carey is sharply cut off, but Jake doesn’t move, instead fixing her with a meaningful look she knows all too well. She knows what’s coming.
“We don’t have to stay long.” He blurts out. “We don’t even have to go in, if you don’t wanna – I mean, I can turn the car around right now and we can go get polish food and watch Jeopardy and I’ll give you a back massage or something.”
He’s giving her the look again - the soft overprotective one she’s always been fond of but has undoubtedly increased in volume and intensity tenfold since the start of her pregnancy.  
He’s cute when he gets all worried – and he clearly has the best intentions, but little inclination of all the fears she fought to make it this far and all her determination to enjoy this night. Not that she’s told him; Jake has seemingly infinite patience with all her complaints and worries, and she feels a pang of immeasurable guilt about burdening him with any more. Musing this, Amy takes his hand from the steering wheel, thumbing intricate loops over his knuckles.
“You’re sweet. But I want to be here, okay? I want to see everyone! I’ve missed Charles bursting into tears and gushing about the miracle of life every time I walk into the room.”
“Say the word and we can go, okay?”
“Okay!” She squeezes his hand. “Stop worrying, babe. Stress is bad for the baby.” She parrots the saying she’s heard about a billion times in the last eight months and feels satisfied when she finally earns a snort from him. It’s not lost on her that this kid has already turned their entire lives upside down to the point where she’s the one telling him to relax.
A couple years ago, she’d have retched at the thought of being one of the girls in Jake’s beat-up old Mustang. It’s immensely strange and wonderful that now there’s no one else that she could imagine having this baby with. They share a tender smile, and she knows what both of them are thinking. Soon. Soon we get to meet our baby.
Jake grins, placing a light kiss to the back of her hand and pocketing the keys.
“Let’s do this.”
***
It takes a momentous effort for Amy to waddle up to the house despite Jake supporting her the whole way – she has to take a moment to catch her breath back once they’re both welcomed inside, already fighting a familiar creeping fatigue from settling in and stealing the whole night away from her. So many of her favourite Christmas traditions have had to be put on hold this year, and she needs this one night just so she can feel like her old self again.
As usual, the decorations are tasteful and sophisticated, worlds away from the various novelty Christmas items and abundance of tinsel that clutter their home. There’s a pleasant warm atmosphere that instantly relaxes her and she smiles brightly at Jake, who mouths ‘second honeymoon’ before cheerfully greeting Holt with a six-pack of orange soda and launching into an animated conversation about his latest case.
“Amy.” She’s startled out of watching them by a gentle Kevin, who is as gracious of a host as ever. “It is wonderful to see you. Please, make yourself as comfortable as possible. Is there anything I can get you?” She smiles gratefully, already hyper-aware of the dull ache of her swollen feet but determined that her remaining holiday spirit will not be quashed by any means.
She instantly finds a perfect spot on their couch, accepting a glass of water from Kevin before he excuses himself to go and greet more guests.
Despite the lack of any alcohol in her system, it’s all too easy to space out; it’s also all too easy to feel like everyone is merry and bright except her. She bites her nails, frustrated, deep down knowing that she’ll probably spend the whole night intensively snacking and talking to no-one.
She already loves her baby more than anything else in the world, but that doesn’t stop it from sucking that this sad, lonely feeling budding in her centre is her current reality.
One of Kevin’s colleagues tries to start a conversation with her but quickly excuses herself to get more food once she realises Amy isn’t a professor of any kind. Jake or Rosa or anyone she knows seem absolutely nowhere to be found and she’s quick to admit total defeat as she feels herself sinking into the couch, steeling herself for the long and torturous night ahead.
***
At least she can take some comfort in how nice Holt and Kevin’s guest bathroom is.
Cheddar is, blissfully, nowhere in sight. She takes a minute of peace to compose herself, grappling with all her dread and doubt about returning to the party clashing with feeling like a failure if she doesn’t enjoy herself.
She’s about to make her way back into the living room when she catches her name in a passing conversation – Amy pauses, lingering in the doorway, suddenly aware of two very familiar voices speaking in a soft tone down the hall.
“...I just…I worry, y’know? She’s so uncomfortable all the time now and we’re both going a little crazy waiting for the baby to arrive and…I don’t know. I just want to help her, but I feel completely useless most of the time. Especially because she’s this freaking superhero who’s been growing this human being for almost nine months and I’m just this guy that couldn’t even assemble the crib.”
“Jake, I assure you that you are far from useless, and I don’t doubt that Amy has assured of the same thing. You are doing everything you can to support her.” Holt says in his usual authoritative baritone - Amy feels her face burn red, aware that this isn’t a moment she should be trespassing on but unable to walk away.
These are fears that he’s voiced to her before, and she can only hope that the more the people he cares about affirm their belief in him, the more his confidence will start to grow.
“I know. I’m just, uh, scared. And scared that I’m never going to stop being scared.”
“If I may speak candidly, I trust that the very compassion, thoughtfulness and fear you are currently displaying that will make you a great father.”
“You think…you think I’m gonna be a great father?”
“Kevin and I are certain that you will both be excellent parents.” Holt says it like it’s a given, just as water is wet or the sky is blue, and Amy glows with pride from her secret hiding place, praying no one else needs to use the bathroom before this conversation ends.
“You really think so?” She just knows that he’s grinning that bright, shining Peralta grin that she just couldn’t help falling in love with.
“Indeed. In fact, we are very proud of both of you. And – well, you already know, but if there is anything you ever need, we are more than happy to support you.”
“Thanks, Captain. Amy’s going to be so psyched when I tell her that.”
She spends another five minutes in the bathroom sniffling before she can compose herself well enough to return to the party – once she does, she can’t help watching Jake all lit up from across the room, and her eyes immediately well up as her heart just soars leaps and bounds.
***
“Hey.” Rosa slumps down next to her on the sofa while she’s still drying her eyes, nursing an empty wine glass – there’s a softer look in her eyes than usual, an echo of Jake’s increased protectiveness, and Amy is undeniably grateful to see her. “You okay?”
“Yeah. Stupid hormones. What’s up?”
“Eh. I’m fine. Not drunk enough to enjoy talking to these nerds.” Amy scoffs, feeling a slight sting of jealousy that she can’t get drunk with her friends or even attempt to have an intellectual conversation about art history with Kevin’s colleagues, though it’s muted now purely through love for her husband. She twists the ornate silver ring on her finger, aware of the piercing stare her best friend is giving her.
“Are you really okay?” Rosa asks, and Amy’s face crumbles.
“I’m just…really tired of being pregnant. I want to enjoy being here, y’know? I want to enjoy these last few weeks of peace, but I’m bored out of my mind stuck at home just waiting for this kid to pop out of me. And I can’t enjoy being anywhere else because I can’t drink or hold a conversation without immediately falling asleep.” She stifles a well-timed yawn to punctuate her point and Rosa hums in sympathy.
“I feel like I can’t even complain about it to Jake anymore because he’s so damn considerate and kind and he’s trying so hard and I don’t want to burden him with it and I can’t even enjoy Christmas anymore and everything just kinda…”
“Sucks?” Rosa finishes for her and she nods, hands coming to rest naturally on her bump. They’re both quiet for a moment, watching Charles gush about some obscure Latvian festive dish he’s making for Nikolaj to a helpless Terry, but it’s not long before Rosa speaks again.
“Look, I have the day off tomorrow. I’m coming over and we’re making mocktails and watching The Holiday and you can bitch and complain to me about being pregnant as much as you want, guilt-free. Sound good?”
“Rosa, you don’t have to-“
“I know. It’s not a perfect solution or anything but...I want to help. Any way I can.”  Amy gets the feeling that’s the final word on the matter, and she feels gratitude for her best friend rising to a crescendo in her chest. Rosa winces, no doubt recognising the way her face scrunches up when she’s trying not to get emotional, and pats her on the shoulder uneasily. “Please don’t start crying again.”
“I can’t help it!” Amy half-laughs, wiping away a stray tear and pulling her into an awkward yet loving hug. “You’re being nice.”
“It’s not long now, Amy. And…your kid is really lucky to have you guys. You’re both gonna be great.” Rosa smiles a genuine proper rare Rosa smile, before looking down at her empty glass wistfully. “Maybe I’m drunker than I thought I was.”
Amy laughs again, this time bright and shining and full, and the longer she spends here, the more the lightness in her chest she’s spent so long craving simply grows and grows.
***
The rest of the party passes in a blur; a moony-eyed Charles sits beside her at one point and she braces herself for the worst, but finds herself touched deciphering his rambles about how great her and Jake are going to be (and impressed that she only has to veto one invasive question regarding her uterus). She gets to rant to a highly empathetic Sharon for ten minutes who invites her over for lemonade and assures her that she can ask her or Terry any & every parenthood question she can think of.
Holt even shakes her hand as they leave the party, personally thanking her for coming, and Amy beams as she spots the novelty Father’s Day card Jake got for the both of them still taking pride of place on their mantelpiece. Her family may be miles away in New Jersey, but her weird work family are right here, celebrating with her and supporting her and lifting her up in every way they can.
For the first time all month, Amy feels at peace with missing out on a traditional Christmas this year.
She falls asleep in the car before they’ve even left Holt and Kevin’s street - Jake gently wakes her once they arrive home, clearly cautious of an extremely tired and grumpy pregnant wife to placate and clearly surprised at the positivity with which she handles slowly waddling to their apartment.
“It was just really nice to get out of the house and see everyone, I guess.” She offers breezily as a brief explanation, sighing with content as she can finally take the weight off her feet and indulge in the comfort of their bed. He hums before disappearing to make tea for an inconspicuously long time, eventually returning with a mug in one hand and an envelope in the other.
“Here.” He says, setting the mug down on her bedside table, handing her the envelope and flopping down on the bed beside her. “I wanted it to be a surprise, but I just realised it should be something you can look forward to.”
Amy narrows her eyes. “Jake, you know what we said about gifts this year…” She frowns disapprovingly, but all he does is laugh.
“Just open it, babe. I promise it’s nothing taser related.”
Her curiosity easily overpowers any objections she might have and it’s not long before she’s carefully ripping the envelope open - inside is a piece of paper, which she unfolds as he watches her expectantly. Her heart all but lights up as she slowly realises what it is.
“Is this…”
“...A print screen of a booking confirmation? Yep. Sorry, I wanted it to be vaguely more of a nice romantic gesture than just forwarding you the email.”
It’s a booking for a room in a fancy hotel upstate, one she’s always coveted but never been able to convince herself that they could practically afford.
And it’s for a two night stay, starting on Christmas Eve - a simple but heavenly upgrade to their holiday plans. She looks at him with big, shining eyes.
“I’ve always wanted to go there.”
“I know, because every time we drive past it you mention extremely subtly that you’ve always wanted to go there.” Jake grins teasingly, and she can tell he’s proud of himself for this one - he definitely should be. Once again, tears already threaten to spill and blot the paper because he knows her and he loves her and he’s the right person for her and that’s all in the world that matters. She couldn’t ask for anything more.
“I just knew you were missing having a traditional Christmas this year, and I thought we deserved something kinda...nice? And I know it won’t compare to being with your family but we can order as much room service as you want and just spend the whole day lounging about in fluffy robes watching Christmas movies and just doing whatever you want. You’ve earned it, Ames.”
The soft earnest nickname is what breaks her in the end - her face completely crumples as she tries to stammer her gratitude while ugly crying at the thoughtfulness of her husband. Luckily, he’s used to riding an emotional rollercoaster along with her by now and has the common sense to pass her some tissues and rub her back soothingly until she’s all cried out.
And then Amy kisses him, with everything she has left to give, her thankfulness beyond the clumsiness of words. Suddenly the insurmountable obstacle of waiting out these last few weeks doesn’t seem half as daunting.
Her vows ring powerful and true, now more than ever; as long as she’s with the people that she loves, she can handle anything. Tonight has reminded her that she’s surrounded with so many of the right people that, with their help, even raising a child now seems possible.
“This is so thoughtful - thank you.” She holds the paper close to her chest, still sniffling. “I love you so much.”
Her eyes are red and puffy and there’s somehow phlegm everywhere but he still looks at her like she hung the moon anyway and it makes all of it, absolutely all of it, worth it.
“Love you too. Merry Christmas, honey.” He kisses the top of her forehead before gently pressing his hand to her stomach, clearly not over the delightful novelty of instantly feeling a kick there.
“And Merry Christmas to you too, peanut. I know you must be pretty comfy in there but you better not keep us waiting too much longer, because we’re super psyched to meet you.” Amy hums in agreement, absolutely exhausted but completely overwhelmed with joy, her holiday spirit alive and thriving.
And at the end of the day, if it means a few more precious weeks of keeping her husband all to herself, she supposes that maybe she can handle waiting just a tiny bit longer.

Virtuoso: Chapter Two - Recitative
Tumblr media
Enjolras is Saint-Michel Academy's brightest young composer. He runs the orchestra, the Musician's Rights board, chairs the scholarship program, teaches free classical music to children, and is in the middle of his dissertation. He has never been anything less than a prodigy, until his teacher forces him to write a pop song.
Enter the effortlessly cool Grantaire, with his smudged eyeliner and lovely guitar-playing fingers. He really digs Enjolras' "vibe," whatever that means.
Enjolras tries to tackle his pop-song-nightmare, and enlists the help of Grantaire.
Chapter One
Recitative 
The world exploded around Enjolras as he awoke. Combeferre was in the kitchen, coffees in hand grinning widely beside the ‘Morning Gong.’
“Why do I let you keep that godforsaken gong?” Enjolras complained, the imprint of computer keys ridged in his cheeks. He had fallen asleep at the kitchen counter with the machine a stand-in, whirring pillow.
“Morning, sunshine!” Combeferre said brightly, and Enjolras cursed himself for ending up with morning people for roommates. “Any sign of Courf?”
“Negative,” Enjolras yawned, “I think he went to an after-party last night, he could literally be anywhere. He might not even be in Paris.”
“He’s probably not even still in France,” Combeferre laughed, placing a mug beside Enjolras. “I will never understand how he can still party like a first year... When did you get back?”
“About one,” Enjolras stretched out and brought his computer to life, tapping impatiently on the mouse pad, “I was working on the pop nightmare until about five, though.”
“Ah, I had almost forgotten about your pop dilemma... How my day has been brightened!” Combeferre beamed, coiling himself around his mug. “I’m heading off soon, so if you’re ready in twenty minutes we can walk together...”
“Yeah, yeah,” Enjolras said, still not fully awoken. He yawned widely, noticing that it was already ten past eight and hurried to shower away the scents of the previous night.
It was an overcast day, grey skies neatly connecting to the grey Parisian pavement. Combeferre and Enjolras walked side by side, an impressive array of instruments strapped to them.
“Okay, but how about...” Combeferre interjected, swerving the topic of their heated morning debate, “How about you could either write an utterly commercial pop song that goes immensely successful, and your name is forever linked, so, like, everyone in the world will be like ‘Oh Enjolras? That guy who wrote that pop song?’” he put on a silly voice, crossing his eyes underneath his glasses, “Or you write a crazily successful classical piece that changes the world of classical music forever but nobody ever knows who wrote it and it goes down as a musical mystery forever. Which would you rather have?”
“Can I not just tell everyone I wrote it?” Enjolras asked, scrolling through his phone and nearly colliding with a lamppost.
“Uh... No,” Combeferre confirmed, “You tragically die and nobody knows who you were.”
“Wait... am I dead in both situations?”
“No.” Combeferre pondered, “Actually, scratch that, you’re not dead, you just can’t tell anyone you wrote it.”
“Well obviously the classical one,” Enjolras said flatly.
“Authenticity over fame... I could have guessed,” Combeferre said, not bothering to conceal a yawn. They were just going through the motions. Often they filled the space of morning silence with pointless conversations to wake their brains. “Okay so the situation is the same but with the pop one you also do loads of classical as well, but when all of your millions of fans come to your concert they just want to hear your top hit.”
“I’ll take that, then. An audience of millions is better than none, besides I’m sure I could change their mind.”
“You can’t.”
“Oh,” Enjolras stretched out his neck and they fell into silence. Enjolras’ mind drifted to the pop song he had been working on. The piece sounded spiky – filled with diminished and augmented chords – in short, it sounded nothing like a pop song.
Pop music, to Enjolras, was foreign – but not cross-the-border-to-Germany foreign, it was more of a outside-of-our-known-galaxy foreign. He had hurried past shop fronts that blared warbling voices and fuzzy synths, as if the sound was shameful. His parents raised him on a strict diet of music composed before the 1900’s. Even his more rebellious high school friends viewed pop music warily – that was private schooling for you. Now, at Paris’ highest esteemed classical university – pop was an insult.
“I hate pop music,” Enjolras grumbled, heaving an almighty sigh. “It’s inane.”
“That’s the point,” Combeferre poked.
They bid their farewells at the gates of Saint-Michel’s and headed to their separate classes.
Enjolras weaved through the crowds, dodging instrument cases, almost receiving a trumpet to the forehead. He stopped. The throng of people behind him huffed and split around him, as he hopped back down the stairs and turned to the smoker’s area. In his first year he had held an enormous campaign to turn the area into a community garden.
“Instrumentalists should never smoke,” he had argued to the board, “It’s counterproductive to breath support. If you’re training the next generation of musicians – they shouldn’t be given the resources to destroy their lungs.”
His fury had been met with blank stares, and Enjolras had avoided the area out of principle. In the morning glow, the pavestones glistened, the ivy was burnished gold. It still looked like the perfect place for a community garden.  Enjolras had to force himself to stop mentally planting sunflowers.
Tucked in the corner, Enjolras found whom he was searching for... he also found Courfeyrac.
Grantaire and Courfeyrac were sat on the wall, chatting too animatedly for nine in the morning. Grantaire, dressed in dark green, blended into the ivy, looked as though he had been stolen from the middle of a woodland nymph painting. He turned, catching Enjolras’ eye, and beamed – Enjolras wondered what Grantaire saw as he stood there.
“Enj!” Courf said, reaching out a hand.
“Please don’t touch me, you’ve been wearing the same clothes for three days.” Enjolras commented, a grin playing on his face, “Courf, our flat is literally ten minutes away, just grab some spare clothes!”
“No, you’re right, it is so gross. I am definitely coming back tonight, though. I just couldn’t give up on the chance to go to an after-party... Especially not a Patron-Minette one, those guys are absolutely mental. Montparnasse tried to get off with me, but I think I offended him when I said he reminded me of Arthur.”
“Why? The young Arthur was a dreamboat,” Enjolras said.
There was a very long pause.
“What?” Courfeyrac spluttered.
“Arthur Rubinstein was really hot in his youth,” Enjolras eyed Courf with suspicion.
“On what planet was I talking about Arthur Rubinstein? What is he? A pianist?”  
“Yeah...” Enjolras squinted, “Which Arthur are you talking about?”
“The aardvark thing.”
Enjolras looked blank and Grantaire started to sing the theme tune. Enjolras could only blink in response.
“I’m so confused,” Enjolras said, “Montparnasse looks nothing like an aardvark.”
“Yeah... I coulda been hallucinating pretty badly,” Courf said and hopped to his feet, “Are you coming, Enj? Fantine won’t like it if you’re late...” he tried to put on an intimidating voice, but by third year lateness seemed wholly inconsequential to everyone, even the professors.
“I’ll be there in a second; I just wanted to have a quick chat with Grantaire about the pop thing.”
Courfeyrac cackled in response. “Good luck,” he kissed both Enjolras and Grantaire on the cheek, and wandered inside the building, scuffing his cigarette out beneath his shoe.
Grantaire squinted against the sun. “How’d you enjoy Patron-Minette?”
“I liked them a lot more than I thought I would,” Enjolras said without thinking, he turned red. “I didn’t mean that I... It’s just, pop isn’t really my thing.”
“Éponine doesn’t like the word pop. It’s psychedelic, contemplative, indie, punky folk, darling.”
“Well, then I guess I am a fan of psychedelic, contemplative, indie, whatever else it is,” Enjolras said lightly, a smile creeping onto his lips. “Sorry to ambush you, and feel free to say no...”
“I love a good ambush, sometimes,” Grantaire laughed, “What’s wrong?”
Enjolras sighed. “Well, Prouvaire said you were doing this pop project, and my teacher is forcing me to write a pop song, and I have absolutely no idea what to do, and it’s all a bit of a disaster, and I was wondering if you wanted to collaborate?” Enjolras blurted, taking an embarrassingly large gasp for breath at the end of his ramble.
“Yeah, sure, sounds cool.” Grantaire scribbled a number on the back of a receipt and held it out, “Here’s my number, text me when’s best for you... Or you could Facebook me, I’m sure there aren’t many ‘Grantaires’ on there, it won’t be too hard to find me.”
“Oh, brilliant! Thank you!” Grantaire seemed like he would have needed more convincing than that. Enjolras pocketed the receipt.
“Do you have a setup at your flat?”
“Um,” Enjolras faltered, “I have a couple of leads and a microphone... And about three-quarters of an orchestra.”
“Huh,” Grantaire shielded his eyes from the sun to look at Enjolras, “Not really helpful for pop... you can come to mine, I have everything there for the Patron-Minette recording and stuff. I’ll text you my address when you text me.” He tilted his head and laughed wolfishly, “I can’t imagine you at the flat... It will be interesting.” He grinned, “Let me know,” and sauntered away before Enjolras could say another word.
Performance class called for Enjolras to sit at the front. His arms cradled around the cool wooden curves of his cello. He bowed his head, pulled his bow taut, and felt his fingers fall into a familiar position, strings indenting his callused fingers. The whole classroom inhaled together, and Enjolras felt electric. His eyes fell shut, and instinct tugged at his muscles, creating the smooth, elegant dance around the instrument. The song was a duet between his body and the cellos. It was as intimate and in tune as a lovers waltz. Moments like this, lost in lines of manuscript and drowning in notes, that time ceased to exist. Enjolras felt like he did not exhale until the piece resolved, its final cadence dousing the room. The sweet, warm oasis of music cascaded as the class applauded.
Enjolras breathed raggedly against the neck of his cello, daring a smile at his classmates.
Fantine stood, roses in her cheeks. “Simply delightful!” she beamed, “Will you perform the piece at the concert next Friday? I know you’re incredibly busy, but we’re missing a cello solo...”
Enjolras pencilled it into his diary, trying to ignore the vaguely frustrated glances from the rest of the class.
Courfeyrac’s flute solo went down well, and he flushed with pride. Enjolras grinned at him genuinely, wondering how he had managed to compose such a lovely piece when he hadn’t even had time to return home.
“I feel like you need an accompanist,” Fantine said brightly, “It’s very sweet, but I think it needs a bit more depth... Do you know Combeferre?”
Enjolras and Courfeyrac shared a grin.
“You could say that, Fantine...”
“Ask him to accompany you. He’s very good at that.” She clapped her hands together without waiting for an answer, “Marius, what do you have for us today?”  
~*~
Once Enjolras had sent the text to Grantaire, his fingers couldn’t stay still. They traced over the table in triplet rhythms, danced over invisible keys, tensed as the pulse of music within him swelled.
A message returned in minutes and Enjolras dragged his eyes from Courfeyrac’s antics to read it.
I finish at 4 today, could do something after that if you’re free –R x
He sent back an affirmative and planned to meet the almost-stranger outside the school gates later that afternoon.
Combeferre was astutely trying not to laugh, cheeks molten with joy, as Jehan and Courf tested their ranges.
“My whistle pitch is literally the best. I’m probably the best in the school,” Courf said, emitting a high-pitched scream. “Maybe the world.”
“That is so not whistle pitch,” Jehan said, snorting loudly.
“Yeah it is,” Courfeyrac shrieked again and the table of four collapsed into all encompassing laughter. Through delight-tinted eyes, Enjolras remembered again how much he adored his friends.
~*~
“Hey,” Grantaire said, stamping out a cigarette under his boot heel. He noticed Enjolras’ lingering gaze on the smouldering stub and said, “Nasty habit, I know. Especially when you’re a singer,” he lifted one shoulder in a shrug.
“You sing?” Enjolras said, carefully arranging his face into a passive, non-judgemental mask. To Courfeyrac and Jehan he often lamented the early loss of their vocal ability and breath control that promised to swoop in with every cigarette and joint they smoked.
“I do,” Grantaire said with a grin, “I also play guitar, bass, keyboard, a little bit of drums and whatever else I can get my hands on.”
“Sounds...” Enjolras floundered, “Pretty pop-based.” He grimaced. Compliments had never been a strong point of his.
“That’s why I’m the man for your job, right?” He smiled, looking like he had been rendered on a canvas, all wilderness and Dionysian thrill.  “What do you play? Harp?”
“Why does everyone say that?” Enjolras enquired.
“Am I wrong?” Grantaire directed them down the stairs to the Metro station.
“No.”
“You’re such a harpist... everything about you screams it. How many times have you been forced to wear angel wings, a halo and a toga at weddings?”
Enjolras shuddered. “Way too many times,” he said with a hiccup of a laugh.
“That’s what I want at my wedding.” Grantaire said, hopping down the escalators carelessly, “Apollo the harpist, golden everything, even gold suits, the priest dressed as a cherub...” He dashed onto the train and held the beeping door open for Enjolras.
“Really?”
“No,” Grantaire grinned, “Couldn’t imagine anything worse... Sorry!” He careened into Enjolras as the train started and apologised again, pointing out the short route to his place on the map.
“I do not know what it will be like in here, so beware, in advance,” Grantaire said ominously, turning the key in his lock and giving Enjolras a warning stare. “Hello?” he called, cracking open the door by an inch. Silence poured around them. “They must be out. Welcome to Chez Patron-Minette.”
“You live with the band?”
“I’m supposed to just live with Ép and Montparnasse, but yes, I basically live with them all,” he paused and flicked the lights on, looking around disdainfully, “The other three unofficially moved in without really consulting me.”
“How awful!”
“Nah, it’s fine. I have the biggest room, anyway.” Grantaire smiled, a sheen of politeness glazing his eyes, “Drink?”
“Um, I’ll have water, please,” Enjolras said, trailing one hand on the kitchen counter.
Grantaire looked up from the fridge, a spark of mischief playing in his eyes. “We’re living the rock star life tonight,” he said, “Cheers to that!”
Enjolras wasn’t sure if he was being made fun of.
“Sorry it’s a mess, I didn’t realise this was happening, of course.” Grantaire chucked a few items of clothing around and surreptitiously shoved an armful of cans into his bin. “Afterparty...” he said as a way of explanation.  “So...my friend...” he grinned into his cup of water, “I am fully at your service, what can I do for you?” he did a silly bow, dark hair bouncing around his shoulders.
“Valjean is making me write a pop song and I have no idea what to do,”
“Harps don’t usually translate well to pop, no.”
“I can play other instruments, as well,” he was quick to confirm, as if Grantaire would care in the slightest about his pedigree of musicianship, “But only classically.”
“Have you made a start with anything?” Grantaire asked, flexing his fingers around the neck of his guitar.
“I...” Enjolras grimaced, “I have... But... it’s not... well, listen for yourself.”
He plucked his phone from his pocket, searching for the audio file. It took two chords for Grantaire’s forehead to crease. It took just three more before his lips pursed, a laugh ill-hidden behind them.
“I know!” Enjolras protested, hastily muting the piece. “It’s terrible!”
“It isn’t terrible...” Grantaire rubbed the bridge of his nose and coughed, “It’s just not pop... like, at all...” A laugh bubbled out from his hand. “Sorry! It’s a lovely piece... but did you modulate twice in one bar?”
Enjolras looked sheepish. “Sort of.”
Grantaire laughed, throwing a palm to his forehead. “Oh, bless you. This is going to be harder than I thought. Let’s start again, and let’s start simple,” Grantaire said, his words not what Enjolras wanted to hear. “So we’ll do a four chord song, okay?”
Enjolras paled.
Enjolras hunched over the keyboard, fingers splayed on smaller keys than he was used to, Grantaire nimbly tuned up his guitar, strumming once when he was finished and letting the discord rattle around them.
Inner pianist screaming, Enjolras stilled and offered, “Does it have to be four chords? I mean we could add some embellishments, a modulation here and there, and still have it be pop, right?”
“Nope, pop thrives on simplicity...”
“But there are exceptions...”
“Yes, and they are known for being exceptions. You wanted straight up pop, so we’re using four chords,” Grantaire raised an eyebrow.
“But...”
“I could make us do a three chord song, if you wanted?” Grantaire laughed as Enjolras drooped, “Come on, Enjolras, let me lead you to the wild side.”
The pair looped four chords over and over, Grantaire humming a melody over the top. Enjolras’ eyes glazed over.
“What do you want to sing about?” Grantaire asked.
“I don’t sing,” Enjolras snapped out of his stupor, much closer to Grantaire than he thought he had been.
“Well what do you want me to sing about, then?” Grantaire slid his palm against his guitar and pulled open a scruffy notebook.
Enjolras pondered, still playing the chords in auto-pilot, the simplest thing he had played since he was five. “The disparity of classical music,” he said, turning to Grantaire with fire in his eyes.
“Woah,” Grantaire said, recoiling a little, “Not really a great subject for a pop song.”
Enjolras rolled his eyes and pushed back from the keyboard, “That’s why this whole assignment is a waste of time. You can’t talk about what you want to talk about, unless all you want to talk about is sex and alcohol.”
“Two very delightful subject matters,” Grantaire responded, mischievous glint in his eyes. When he noticed Enjolras’ stony expression he backtracked. “No, it’s not just like that... Well, okay, for the most part it is, but you can write about whatever you want, really.” He tilted his head and narrowed his eyes, “Okay, a pop song about the disparity of classical music, let’s... give it a go.”
Enjolras glanced at him carefully, still unsure whether Grantaire was mocking him. The dark haired boy gave a genuine smile, almost bashful as he ducked down to watch his finger position on the guitar. Enjolras blinked. He watched Grantaire astutely, taking in the curve of his neck and the curve of his nose, the ink-spill of eyelashes across his cheeks and the length and dexterity of his slender fingers.
They played together for a while, Grantaire improvising melodies and lyrics over the top of the basic chords. Enjolras nodded seriously and scribbled down notation in his trusty manuscript paper pad. “So for the chorus we can use the same four chords but just mix the order up,” Grantaire said, strumming once across the neck of the guitar.
Enjolras sighed and spectacularly collapsed onto the keyboard, a dissonant crash echoing throughout the room.
“You alright, Enjolras?”
Enjolras merely groaned.
With a gentle clunk, Grantaire placed his guitar down and wheeled over to Enjolras on his chair.
“Enjolras,” he sung, drawing his knees to his chin. “Is it all getting too much?” Enjolras rolled his head and sent another chord ringing.
“I don’t mean to sound dramatic,” Enjolras said dramatically, “But I would literally rather be shot twenty-seven times than write a pop song.”
“Ah. Not a great state of mind to be in.” He wheeled away and spun slowly in the centre of his room, staring at the ceiling. “It’s not exactly what you had in mind, but instead of getting shot, we could get shots.” He laughed, the sound lovely and carefree and curling around Enjolras’ edges like smoke.
“I never drink alcohol when I’m composing,” Enjolras said, drawing to his full height and stretching out his limbs.
“Mozart did.”
“What?” Enjolras said after a beat.
“I’m just kidding, I have no idea what Wolfgang’s drinking habits were. I know mine, though, and there’s a lovely happy medium of being just the tiniest bit wasted and creating amazing stuff.”
“Does it still sound good the morning after?”
“Ahh!” Grantaire said in a stage-yell, “I didn’t want to hear the voice of reason tonight.” Enjolras’ lips broke into a smile, the phenomenon looking like sunshine on his face. “Okay so both getting shot and getting shots are out of the question, then. I guess we’ll just have to carry on composing.” He put a hand on Enjolras’ arm, his face edging a little closer than expected. “It gets better, I promise.”
“Stop,” Enjolras said with a groan, “I’m getting war flashbacks to bullying in high school.”
Grantaire paused. Where he had made to move back to his guitar, he turned to face Enjolras again, perplexity playing over his features.
“Bullying? You?” he gaped, “I’m aghast! Kids can find fault in Apollo reincarnate. No wonder my high school days were doomed.”
“I came out at like the age of seven, I was a pretty easy target.”
Enjolras noticed Grantaire’s eyes shift over him.
“Seven, wow! It took me ten years longer to get the courage,” Grantaire shrugged, “People were still idiots about it.”
“Oh,” Enjolras said, realising that he had automatically assumed ultimate straightness after hearing Grantaire’s rumoured popularity with women. The silence permeated for seconds too long and he added, “Right! Pop music!”
~*~
Enjolras kind of hated to admit it, but the song was actually going pretty well and not sounding as horrific as he had imagined it would. Sure, its harmony was brain-clawingly annoying, and the lyrics eye-rollingly inane, but it wasn’t that bad.
“Honey, I’m home!” came a loud voice from outside Grantaire’s door. “Have you seen Claque? He has stolen my tobacco, piece of - ” Éponine barged through, “Oh,” she said, catching sight of Enjolras and backing out. “Oh!” she said again and re-entered. “It’s you! Enjolras, darling! Sorry I just saw the blonde hair and thought R was trying to impress a girl with his beautiful guitar fingering.”
“That joke wasn’t funny the first time you made it,” Grantaire said, barely looking up from his guitar. He executed a perfect, intricate riff.
“Nah, it’s like a fine wine. It gets even better each time.”
“Not how wine works,” Grantaire deadpanned. “And besides, you laugh, but girls love it! They think ‘ooh wow, look how long and quick his beautiful fingers are...’ and imagine them tangled in their hair as I take on the role of their ravishing lover.”
“Well... Is it working Enjolras?” Éponine asked.
Enjolras froze a little bit. The thought hadn’t crossed his mind, but... he turned his gaze to Grantaire’s fingers.
“Don’t tease, Ép,” Grantaire said, a mischief oozing from his every pore.
“I just don’t feel as special now that I know it’s not just me you’ve seduced with your fingers,” Enjolras said, pushing his lower lip out.
Éponine cackled and sloped further into the room, socks padding across the hardboard flooring. “What are you boys up to this fine evening?”
“Writing pop,” Grantaire said with a flicker of his eyebrows.
Éponine’s face suddenly contorted and she looked at Enjolras in disbelief. “Huh, didn’t expect that from you, babe.”
“I’m writing his first pop song with him,” Grantaire interjected, “Popping his pop cherry, it could be said.”
“It could be said,” Éponine laughed, “But it shouldn’t be.” She looked at Enjolras with a grimace, “I’m sorry you have to work with this loser.”
“Ugh, get out,” Grantaire said quickly, humour dancing in his eyes, “Can you not see we’re in the middle of a very serious and important task.”
“Yes,” Enjolras said, echoing Grantaire’s levity, “He’s still in the middle of trying to seduce me with his fingers... It’s very important and serious.”
Both Éponine and Grantaire laughed raucously. Enjolras glowed with warmth.
“I’ll leave you to it then,” Éponine stood and made to leave, she leant into Enjolras conspiratorially and mock-whispered, “Montparnasse’s hands are much nicer.”
“Lies!” Grantaire scoffed, “Begone you deceitful scoundrel!”  He shot a look at Enjolras, “She really is lying, Montparnasse’s flowery fingers have nothing on mine.”
“Don’t let him hear you call them that. It’s floral, darling, not flowery. Much more trendy.” Éponine traced Grantaire’s epic eye roll and added, “Okay, okay, I’m going. See you later!”
Grantaire’s head bowed as he laughed to himself, features shadowed by his dark hair falling forwards. “I love her,” he said, fingers sprawling effortlessly over a complex guitar melody.
Enjolras tore his eyes from Grantaire’s hands, licking his suddenly very dry lips. “We could perform this live in class, if you’d like...” Enjolras said. Grantaire looked at him, eyes calculating.
“Would you want me in your class?”
“What do you mean?” A surprised giggle fell from Enjolras’ lips.
“I mean you’re a classical god and I’m sure all the teachers are in love with you. I am a mere mortal second year who’s honestly just a bit mediocre.”
“Mediocre? Are you kidding, Grantaire?”
What followed was a shift of energy that was hard to describe. The look that the two young men shared suddenly became heavier, the silence felt louder and Grantaire, usually the master of words, couldn’t form a sentence.
“Ha,” he said loudly, a hint of blush creeping across his cheekbones. “That’s how my parents liked to describe me,” he joked, stretching out languidly and dragging a hand through his hair. “Should we break? Do you want a snack or a drink or something?” Grantaire stood and threw his head back to elongate his muscles, only the way his eyes flickered shut and his lips slid apart made it look almost obscene.
“Do you have coffee?” Enjolras asked, trying to look anywhere else in the room.
“We have cheap granules, if that’s cool with you.” Grantaire laughed raucously, “It’s okay, darling, I can see from the terror in your eyes that cheap granules are not cool with you. Tea?”
“Do you have soya milk?”
“Oh you sweet boy,” Grantaire couldn’t stop laughing, “I don’t even know if I have regular milk that’s in-date. I think we have a box of green tea somewhere... Are you a green tea kinda guy?”
“Absolutely,” Enjolras said, “The extent of me being a green tea kinda guy is actually quite concerning.”
“Well I’m afraid I’m quite a bad influence, I can only feed your addiction. One green tea coming up!”
While Grantaire was out of the room, Enjolras properly looked around, eyes drifting across the debris that was scattered. A grubby looking mug held an array of drumsticks and paintbrushes, loose guitar strings were coiled in a messy pile, a precarious stack of records balanced an old gramophone. Pictures were tacked to the wall, stopping abruptly where Grantaire’s arms couldn’t reach.
Enjolras’ eyes caught a series of photographs of Grantaire and Jehan. In one picture they were meditating, the others doing intricate looking yoga poses: if joy could be captured, these pictures were evidence of it. Wide, lazy smiles and dopey shared glances were rife throughout the set.
“Here we are!” Grantaire said, carefully cupping a steaming mug. “One green tea! I’m going to go out for a smoke, want to join?”
Enjolras, took the hot tea in his hands. Grantaire cracked open the door, throwing a backwards glance at him. Enjolras felt suddenly very warm, and reckoned the cool air would do him good, second-hand smoke lung damage be damned. “Sure,” he said. Grantaire beamed, and Enjolras wondered how a word as simple as ‘sure’ could illicit such a response. He liked it. “Sure,” he repeated, and followed Grantaire into the cold.  
A/N: Hollaaa chapter 2! Like I said in chapter 1, I’m transferring this from my ao3, which is almost finished here if you want to read further! Hope ya enjoy! These classical nerds fill my heart with joy! Please let me know all your thoughts!! <3

FIC: Snapshots of Lost Days
The sun was coming through the crack in the curtains, and straight across her eyes as if the world had a personal objection to her getting enough sleep after having gotten in at just after three that morning.
Groaning, Jo pulled the pillow from the other side of the bed over her head. The pillow was cold, and she found herself frowning as her hand moved blindly over the empty other side of the bed, searching and groping around in surprise at the lack of warm body beside her. Rolling back onto her back and lifting the pillow corner to blink, blearily, around for the other that had been there when she had rolled into bed that morning.
“Where is he…” Jo muttered to herself as she resettled the pillow over her head and tried to let herself lull back into sleep, stretched out as far as possible in the otherwise empty bed.
It took another ten minutes of counting sheep, reciting the simplest exorcism she knew, and humming the Harry Potter theme music in an attempt to fall back to sleep before she conceded defeat. Flinging the pillow across her face off in a huff, Jo sat up with a frown and the popping sound of her back. She blinked in surprise looking at the time on her phone - no wonder the sun hated her given that it was well past two in the afternoon - and scrubbed a hand at her dry eyes with a sigh.
Making her way to the bathroom, turning the taps of the shower onto an almost scalding heat and quickly using the toilet and brushing her teeth before jumping into the steaming water, Jo could feel the knots in her shoulders from the throw into a wall from the pissed off spirit she’d taken care of easing carefully. It took her fingers going wrinkly and the heat dying down from using almost the whole tank of hot water for her to finally get out of the shower, swiping a hand across the fogged mirror while drying off.
Wrapping herself up in her towel, Jo frowned as she left the bathroom at not even a call of greeting upon the door creaking loudly. Maybe Grey was out.
It had been almost twenty-four hours and he has still not returned.
At first, Jo had thought they’d just missed one another in the crossover of hunts. That he’d seen her in bed and gone on his own that morning and was just taking a little longer than usual, and had forgotten to write her a note or send her a text about it.
Around hour six as it hit almost eight at night, she had found herself sending off the first text to check where the other was. The sound of his ringtone from the bedroom, chiming through the house - the opening strum of his favourite song ringing out through the house - had made her jump at hearing it. Seeing the phone where he leaves it at night on his side of the bed where she had not noticed it before made the concern growing in her stomach turn into a heavy lead ball, weighing her down.
Hour ten had her screaming in the backyard for the demonic dog to show up, and then just screaming obscenities when he did not appear.
Hour twelve found her passing out on the bed where she’d last seen him early the previous morning, arms wrapping around his pillow and face stuffed tightly into the pillow itself, breathing in the smell of him as she finally gave into the exhaustion that such worrying drained her of.
She had woken up at hour twenty as it hit midday and he still hadn’t returned. That had prompted an attempt at reaching out to his sister with no success locating any little shadows to send as a messenger, and still no sign of the hulking black wolf. Nana had begun whining quietly and sniffing near the front door, laying down across the entry carpet and eyes fixated on the door as if waiting for him to waltz back in.
It was now reaching hour twenty-four, at four in the afternoon and she had not seen him in over thirty-seven hours when she’d first crawled into bed beside him and Jo felt faint. She couldn’t remember if she’d eaten or drank, or really done anything since she’d realised he was missing and not just busy.
“What do you mean he’s missing?”
“Exactly what it fucking sounds like!”
“Well that’s just stupid, my brother can’t just go missing. I’m sure that demon friend of his will know where he is.” Shada remarked offhandedly, tossing her hair over a shoulder as she stared back at her.
Jo found herself gritting her teeth as she looked at the other, biting down on a violent sounding hiss before it could really get started. “And I said he’d fucking missing!” Throwing an arm out, she gestured around the living room and mimicked a dust of smoke - “Poof! He disappeared! I’ve tried calling Amon but he’s gone too, and Grey left his phone and didn’t leave any messages of where he was going or what he was doing or what’s-”
“Cupcake, calm down, your smelling tasty with all this stress.” Shada moved quickly to her side, hands on either wrist and gently pulling her down onto the couch. Jo wasn’t entirely sure what was happening other than her head felt like it was full of cotton candy and her heart was so tightly squished with worry that there wasn’t anything else she could focus on. “What was the last thing he said to you?”
“I love you, now get to sleep?” Jo replied, eyes unfocused as she replayed the last moment she remembered him being home through her mind. It had been late, she had just gotten home and showered the hunt off of her; he had stroked her hair and wrapped an arm around her waist telling her how happy he was she was home. “We just..went to sleep.”
“Well that just seems weird, why would he be sleeping?”
“You know he lives life just like me, Shada.”
“Oh yeah, the whole human thing. Right.” The dark haired girl frowned to herself, tilting her head to either side before sighing. “Okay, maybe it is weird for him to have gone. Well, we’ll just have to go find him won’t we? Don’t you worry your little head about it, Cupcake, I’ll find brother and bring him home in no time!”
Jo wished she had the same confidence as the shadow as Shada stood up with a flourish and a flap of her skirt before disappearing. If only she could believe the other would find him sooner rather than later.
“Can you find him?” She hissed the words out, hands fisted tightly into the jacket lapels, brown eyes wide and desperate as she stared up at him. Jo chewed on her bottom lip at the impassive and almost bored look on the other’s face, knowing this was definitely not something he would want to do.
There was a shrug of a shoulder in response, and a disinterested push of his hands at her grip, trying to release himself from her grip.
Jo held of tighter, and even shook him a little through the hold on his jacket before pleading, “Please, please, I’ll… I’ll do anythin’. Please. If you can find him, I’ll do whatever - whatever - you want.”
She saw a flash of curiosity followed by the briefest flash of a pained look, before his mouth twisted into the cruel smirk she knew so well. It wasn’t at her, she could tell, but that didn’t stop the shudder running down her back as his hand moved to stroked at the unblemished side of her neck.
“Really, sweetie? You’d do whatever I want?” Gray asked in a harsh sounding whisper, fingers stroking her neck and then applying the smallest amount of pressure, eyes fixed on hers, the curiosity shining through the dark blue. Jo so wished they were the light blue ones she missed more than anything. “If I help with this little search party, you’d do anything I ask of you?”
“Yes, Gray, absolutely.” Jo nodded her head in agreement, eyes darting back and forth between each of his, trying to see if she could read his intent in them. Whether or not he would actually help her, or was just playing a game with her right now.
The shadow smirked wider, though the cruel edge seemed to fade behind real interest in it. “You’d hurt someone?” He blinked slightly at her nod, continuing, “What about kill someone, sweetie?” This time the smirk seemed to twitch slightly towards a frown for the merest moment at her nod, before his thumb rubbed against her jawline, tilting her head back up to his. Leaning in closer, Gray asked quietly, “What about something we’d both enjoy, huh? Would you submit to me, sweetie, get back into bed, or a table, or on top that bar of yours?”
“Yes, anything if you’d just find him.” Jo begged again, leaning up into him with her eyes still firmly fixed on his face and her own looks not having shifted once from the desperation written clear across her face the whole time. Not a single one of his suggestions had made her pause or flinch back, and Jo could only just keep the tears from prickling at her eyes on the off case it made him say no.
His hand moved, thumb moving to swipe across her bottom lip for a brief second before Gray dropped his hand back to his side with an unreadable look on his face.
“I’ll help you sweetie, but don’t… don’t think I’ll be cashing in any time on it.” Gray spoke quietly, hands tucked into his suit pant pockets as he looked at her inscruitably. “You know me, I like a bit of fight in you. Better to help out without ruining the fun later, huh?”
Jo felt the tears start at his agreement as he disappeared, but all she could feel was the slight throb of pain that maybe even he couldn’t find his brother, no matter how attuned to one another they were.
“Nobody has got any clue, Jo. You need to face the fact he might have gotten take-”
“Dean, shut your goddamn mouth you idjit.” Bobby snarled the words as Jo’s eyes had trailed over towards the other hunter, wide and brown and unseeing at the suggestion of what he had been suggesting. Bobby gave a glare towards the younger hunter and jerked his head towards the kitchen sharply as he moved to remove his cap. “How about you and your brother go suss out the kitchen situation, get some sandwiches or something together while Jo and I have a little talk, huh.”
“Sure thing, Bobby.” Sam replied softly as he passed by the back of the couch, dragging his brother out of the room after him with a large hand dragging the other by his shirt back. Jo thought she heard Dean make an objecting noise, but it all sounded like nothing after the suggestion that had come out of the other’s mouth. He might have gotten taken out.
“Don’t mind him, Jo.” The hunter’s voice was gruff as he held out a hand to her. “Now, we need something importantly and intrinsically tied to the both of you for a focus.”
Jo blinked for a second at the request as she could hear Sam and Dean shuffling in the kitchen before she twisted the ring off her middle finger. Placing it in the other’s hand, she bit her lip and rubbed her thumb over the empty space where it usually sat, feeling naked and raw without it.
“And you’re sure this spell will work?” She asked nervously, eyes on the tall contraption on the table and the swinging pendulum above the map of the country as Bobby fiddled with fitting the ring - the gift she’d gotten and never taken off since - onto the eye of the piece. “It’s not some weird hockem is it?”
“We managed to locate Lilith with it down to the street back when we were dealing with Dean and his fucking deal back in the day,” Bobby replied as he got the piece in place and set the pendulum swinging. “If it can track her, it can track one wayward shadow.”
Jo let out a sigh of relief as the pointer swung, that even Lilith couldn’t hide from it settled her nerves for sure.
That was until the pendulum began swinging faster and faster, around and around in an erratic and frantic way, before it caught alight and began to burn.
Shrieking, Jo’s hand went straight for the ring fastened at the top where the flames were starting to lick at the silver metal, fingers burning painfully as she fought to tear her ring out of it.
The next second the entire device was covered in water, the flames extinguished as Sam and Dean both threw pots of water over it and saturated the map beneath. Bobby too had a blanket in hand, ready to smother any flames that cropped up.
As the other three began discussing how on earth that could have happened, Jo continued to work and work at the small ring before she finally pulled it free.
It was a melted disc, beyond repair, and she felt a little bit of that last resistance to the idea she’d lost him for good melt with it.
“Well hello, you wanted to make a deal?”
“No you red eyed whore, I want you to scurry on back down there and get me your boss.” Jo snarled back at the dark haired demon that had appeared behind her at the corner of the crossroads. All the crossroads girls seemed to pick much the same bodies, and Jo almost thought she should ask one day if the black dresses were a uniform or just a factor of their uninspired group-think. “And you can tell Crowley if he leaves me waiting too long, I’ll be summoning him directly and be a lot less nice ‘bout it.”
The demon have her an annoyed look before she disappeared in a blink, and Jo fiddled with her one remaining item around her neck, gripping the ornate pendant tightly in her fist.
“Joanna. To what do I owe the pain?” The Scottish accent behind her made her jump, spinning to look at the newly arrived demon with none of the animosity she should have usually felt towards him.
“Is he with you?”
“I’m afraid you’ll have to be a little clearer, darling, is who with me?” Crowley cocked a brow at her as he stepped closer, the slight wariness to his approach would usually have amused her but all Jo felt was exhausted and at the last of her options.
“Do you have Grey, Crowley?” She shuffled her feet slightly, worrying her lip between her teeth as she looked across at the growing smug look to his face. Maybe this last option was the one from the way Crowley was behaving. “If he is, can you just tell me. I just want to know where he is, I just want to know he’s okay… Please, just tell me if you have him and that he’s not just gone.”
She could feel the tears starting, something she’d been struggling with as the days and weeks had dragged on and each person she called upon came up short. Shada had no idea, Gray had popped by once to say he couldn’t find him. Bobby’s pendulum spell had backfired horrifically, and even Amon just whined at her sadly each time she had seen him pass by. The idea that he might have been gone, might have gotten caught by a hunter or something that could over power him had been gnawing at her, chewing away at her resolve, and Crowley was her last bet that the absolute worst might not have happened to him.
There was a long pause before the demon responded, the crunching noise of gravel under his feet as he approached her. “I don’t have him. I wasn’t aware he’d run off and left you behind.”
That was it.
Jo felt the strength fall out of her alongside the tears at his words, her knees buckling and body dropping downwards towards the ground as her resolve crumbled.
She didn’t hit ground however, as two arms caught her around the middle tightly. It was so strange to not feel gravel against her cheek or the thud of the impact on her backside but instead the dreading grip around her waist before a shift found her laid down in the soft grass to the side of the road.
“What is all this about, Jo?” There was a weird look on the demon’s face. One Jo vaguely remembered from an age ago, and it stuck with her now as she felt the floodgates break and all she could do was sob against the soft texture of an expensive suit.
He was back.
She didn’t know how, or where he’d been or why he was back to her now. But all she knew was that he was back and in her arms.
The next few weeks were spent wrapped up in one another, never letting him out of sight and each of them recovering from the time apart in their own ways.
He didn’t speak at all about where he had been or what he’d been doing, but it didn’t matter to her why he’d left just that he was back. Jo had been helpless the last weeks before he returned, the clawing feeling that he had been taken from her by something she couldn’t talk her way out of, so really only the fact he was home was all she needed.
That was the case until the knock on the front door, the shattering of glass and the swollen stomach hidden beneath pink fabric.
From then on, the reason behind his disappearance had been the only thing she could think of any time something reminded of her once he’d left again. That while she’d been frantically calling for their friends to search across the globe for him, he had been caught in a twisted game of Happy Homes. That while she’d been begging for help from his brother, he’d been subjected to whatever sick machinations of the first demon’s dark imagination. And that while she had sobbed into the chest of the one person she couldn’t stand - thinking that he’d been taken from her and was left to rot in the place she knew he hated more than anywhere - that he had been impregnating the disgusting, white eyed bitch.
And that now, he had gone back to that nightmare under his own volition and left her behind again.
The house was getting dusty by now.
She’d barely made it back to the place in the last month after pulling herself out of the week long funk at her loss again. Jo had left the house a week to the dot of the blonde, white-eyed demon showing up and his final goodbye to her, and had not been back since. Nana had piled into the car with her but after the second hunt, she had dropped by Bobby and found him well enough to take care of the fluffy fur-ball rather than the unfairness of taking her around with her everywhere.
After a rather rough rugaru case, she’d returned to the salvage yard, said her hello’s and then taken the road back home with the dog’s head sticking out the window in the passenger seat beside her.
As they’d entered the space, she’d not been surprised by the slightly musty smell to the air inside but she was surprised by how excited her baby was upon running back through the building. That was up until the whining started again, the Bernese Mountain dog snuffling her way through every room in the house with a low whine before settling by the front door for her vigil again.
Jo had found herself doing her own version of the same - putting her gear away, hovering slightly near the spare bedroom where his sketch pads and art work still laid about as he had left them, before sinking into the couch with a beer like she hadn’t before he’d left and flicking open her laptop to search up for signs, omens and traceable factors of the first demon’s presence on earth. She stayed up until the sun rose, she drank her way through two six packs and found herself waking up with her face pressed tightly into the couch pillows and the sad, heavy thump of her baby’s tail against the entry floor still waiting for the other to come home.
It wasn’t at all expected when it had first happened after a werewolf case in Louisiana, and then it was just as unexpected two weeks later after an exorcism in Texas. By the third time just two weeks after that once they’d flushed out and taken care of a vampire nest in New York - it was no longer unexpected and had become more of a planned occasion.
Jo hadn’t really meant to fall into bed with the other ever, but after a few months without and as she’d patched up a scratch across his chest after that werewolf lashed out in it’s dying throws; things had just happened. One minute she’d been smoothing antiseptic over the scratches, and the next his lips had been on her neck and her top had been removed seconds later to match him.
From there, it had been a simple pattern to fall into between the two of them - one or the other would send a message about some hunt every other week, and as soon as whatever it was had been taken care of their lips and hands would be on one another until they made it back to whatever hotel room they’d spent the last few days in focused on work, and put that all behind them. It was a nice fit for the both of them; it might not have made her heart swell like her previous partner, but it was easy and took care of keeping the dark at bay.
“Sweetie, what are you doing out here so late at night?”
“Oh fuck off you dick.” Jo had returned with a laugh, swatting a hand out at the other as she turned about to grab a beer for the other patron next to him had asked for before she raised an eyebrow at the shadow leaning comfortably against the bar top without a care in the world. “When I’m not out on a hunt, I’m filling a space here of course.”
“That seems about right.” Gray smirked slightly at her, though she could see even in the dim lighting something to his look that seemed searching rather than his normally surface level glances. “How much you been out hunting then? How’s your little mutt going being left alone so much?”
“She goes to Bobby en route, and even Harry has dogsat lately actually.”
“Ah, that would explain it.”
“What ‘bout you? Just reminding you we don’t have a deal any more since you didn’t end up helping out though.” Jo grinned a little wickedly across at him as she saw out of the corner of her eye the few remaining stragglers leaving the bar with a wave. She grabbed a glass before raising a brow at him, hand holding up the closest bottle near her of a bourbon bottle.
He waved a hand in response at her, and appeared to stare into the dark drink pensively for a second before setting it down on the bar top, disappearing and reappearing behind her back as Jo turned to start cleaning up the bar itself. “Hey sweetie, this remind you of anything?”
“Ummm…” She span about looking up at him as his arms caged and crowded her in against the edge of the bar before the memory clicked. “You’re not going to set me on fire this time, are you?”
“Only if you ask nicely.” Jo barely held back the responding smile at his smirking down at her as he spoke. “But no, I don’t think I’d like to set you alight again, sweetie.”
“Oh good. I’ve still got the odd scar from that time so I’d rather not get more.”
“Do you now?” There was a curiosity to his tone then, and, almost in sync, Jo bounced up on the balls of her feet as he moved to grab her waist and deposit her up on the bar itself before his fists curled onto the surface beside her thighs. There was a quiet pause before he spoke again, head tilted down towards her with a thoughtful look she wasn’t used to on his face. “You still hung up on him?”
“What?”
“Are you still hung up on him, Jo?”
In response, she twisted slightly and downed the glass of bourbon rather than answer.
“Hey, meet me at mine?”
“Really?”
“Yeah, if you’re in the area, come stop by.”
The knock had come within three hours, his having been just two towns over and on his way to the city anyway.
It felt wrong in a way as Jo’d pushed the dog out of the way from the door at the sound and the way that Nana had gotten so exceptionally excited at the prospect that it might have been him at the door to open it up and drag the other in by the hand. The dog’s enthusiasm disappeared immediately, and she heard her make a snuffled noise before turning and heading to stare at the back kitchen door instead.
“Is it.. I’ve never been invited here before.”
“I know, but it’s my house now so… Come with me.”
They’d beat the path up the stairs together - much the same way as she had on so many occasions with the other, lips on one another and hands tugging on clothing, discarded where it was pushed or tugged off on their way up the stairs, down the small landing and into the bedroom.
He’d covered her in kisses then in a way he hadn’t before, and it had been far less hectic and rushed than the past times. It was like being in that bed rather than a hotel or whatever surfaces had been closest made all the difference between them, shifting things in such a way that it wasn’t just the emotionless fucking they’d done before now.
As he’d moved into her and held his weight above her carefully, cautious not to crush her with the size difference as she was spread across the bed, hips high and backside up as he entered from behind. Jo had pressed her face into the sheets and found her eyes watering as they moved together, the faint smell of charcoal and that cologne still hanging about after so long making her cry out, fists tugging at the sheets. It had hurt, hurt so hard as they screwed, and she’d pushed him out of the bed as soon as they were done with the promise to catch up with him on the next hunt the week after like had been planned anyway.
That had been the first night in six months she’d cried herself to sleep, and it was the one and only time she’d heard from him with a short, painful call that had started it all.
She didn’t ask William to meet her at the house again after that. It was, however, the first of every night spent falling to sleep in the same way since then knowing that now? He wasn’t coming home to her, it wasn’t he was being kept from her. He just didn’t want to come back for her.
Things had continued as such until she’d been greeted by the blonde demon with the simple words - “She found him” - breaking through the cloud of disinterest, disassociation and denial she had been living in.
Entering the room, Jo had realised that as much as she’d been tearing herself apart at the very seams, destroying ever part of herself that had been previously rebuilt by the sobbing monster in front of her - nothing was to the same level that had befallen him. And she couldn’t begin to think about how to start fixing it this time.

On America(na)

“The trouble with America,” my father says, “is that it’s too big.”
As he speaks, a morsel of food misses his mouth and begins to fall down his body. Like a climber who has lost their grip, it tumbles down the terrain and bounces off his belly, coming to rest in a crevasse somewhere in his trousers. My father has opinions about America. He has never been there and he doesn’t know any Americans. He never will and he never will.
Tumblr media
The time is spring and I am in a small car, winding up around some sort of hillside that overlooks part of Seattle. I don’t know what Seattle really is, nor where it begins and ends, only that the city is spread thin like butter across so many square miles of suburban sprawl, a grey smear that stretches to the horizon and which is marbled with the wet and warm greens of whatever trees have been spared its splay.
The sky is the colour of hope and the thinnest haze falls over everything toward the horizon, turning all that is distant into a ghost of an idea. Somehow, impossibly, someone has painted a grand white spirit above it all, a glowing pyramid grander than any pharaoh's tomb. My mind insists that there is no way that there could ever be any mountain this big, yet it stands there both so large and also so far that my imagination tells me it could never create anything nearly so grand.
I look at the peak and the slopes and the rocks and the snow that trace and shape its features and I recognise them all at once. Their aspect is immutable eternity and their countenance is the unforgiving divine.
The face of the mountain is the face of God.
Tumblr media
I first flew to America in the summer of 2002. Flights and accommodation were almost absurdly cheap. Less than a year before, I had taken a day off work to travel into London and meet friends. My workplace was a secure facility where my colleagues would get locked in a windowless room, without access to media or the outside world, and so they began to call me from the office phone to see if it was really true that aeroplanes were being deliberately flown into famous American landmarks. Another friend of mine told me how he had kept trying to change the channel on his television, trying to get away from the same disaster movie and simply find out what was on the news.
I was an idealistic young man and my response was to write a letter of sympathy to the President of the United States. My response to a lot of things is to write about them and I write to politicians and to friends and to authorities and to whoever is waiting outside the window after I fold up the paper and launch the plane out into the world. You never know where a paper plane is going to go.
My father had said that we’d plan a visit to America someday and perhaps rent a car and drive across it, going from state to state, seeing sights like the Grand Canyon or Mount Rushmore or The Empire State Building. All of those are near each other, particularly when their pictures are printed on the same page of a holiday brochure.
Tumblr media
It seemed eminently possible. It was the 1980s and it was Morning Again in America. Nothing wasn’t possible. I was watching Knight Rider and Columbo and The Dukes of Hazzard and The A-Team. Mr. T was the coolest person I’d ever seen and I’m not sure if my parents were annoyed that he seemed such an aggressive role model or that their son liked a black man.
My father had lots of plans. Others included building an elaborate model train set and converting the loft. He never did any of these things and after he left my mother, I travelled to America by myself, with my own money, under my own steam, at a time when so many other people were still scared to fly there, even scared to fly anywhere at all.
I ran down the stretched spine of an airport in Detroit, thinking I had only five minutes to catch a connecting flight, because I didn’t realise I’d changed time zone and had an entire hour to find my plane. I landed in Chicago so tired and so sleep-deprived and with arms so ruined from dragging luggage that my hands shook when I tried to lift a glass of water. Nothing out the window of my motel room looked real. From the accents to the asphalt to the traffic to the telegraph poles, it was all sights and scenes stolen from film and television. All these disparate pieces were America, sure, but seeing them all together at once and assembled in front of me felt artificial and alienating.
Tumblr media
I burned myself lying in the sun by lake Michigan, reading a physical copy of The Onion, rattled around The Loop on trains that told you which side their doors were going to open and hurtled up to the top of a skyscraper to stare out out so far that I could see Indiana and Wisconsin and the speckled imperfections that flit across my weak and broken eyes. The sky was the colour of hope and the thinnest haze fell over everything toward the horizon, turning all that is distant into a ghost of an idea.
I tried to do everything I could, but the trouble with Chicago was that it was too big. I came back with sheets of notes about my trip and I wrote all about it. I hadn’t flown in eight years and what I most remember writing about is the strange sense of suspension I felt as I crossed the Atlantic. Here’s what I said:
“Blue above and blue below. Right now we've just passed by Iceland and we're going to have a brush with Greenland soon. I feel a little more stable now, which is good, as I previously had a sensation whereby I felt the plane was suspended by a single piece of string that could be cut at any time. Takeoff was not much fun either (it was a lot less fun than I'm having now, which is very little), as I was convinced we were climbing too steeply, banking too quickly and likely to stall at any time. We didn't, which was nice. The engine I can see out of my starboard window has also stopped wobbling about, so that’s good.
The only in-flight entertainment with which I can distract myself has so far consisted of a Cybill Shepherd documentary. As you can imagine, this hasn't helped anything.”
I think now that no small part of that sensation was caused by my repeatedly drinking wine before and during the flight, something that I thought would make me feel more relaxed. It did not. Instead, I constantly worried that the plane would crash and/or explode. I also wrote this:
“I've just been to the toilet, which was fun. Thankfully, no hideous explosions occurred and, as a result, I was not thrown out of the plane into a -31C low pressure environment squirting a stream of piss as I went.”
I was getting into folk music and one song I was listening to was called America. It told the story of two people travelling across the country and trying to understand both it and themselves. There are two things about this song that are very realistic. The first is that they fail. The second is that they get stuck in traffic.
Tumblr media
The time is winter and I am in Texas. The world is broad and warm and bright and easy. The roads are impossibly large, huge and hulking raised highways that wind like petrified snakes across the landscape. Infrastructure itself is a monument, a colonnade of concrete that conquers the landscape and rivals any classical architecture, every other onramp or highway a temple to the motor car and its pantheon of petroleum-powered processions. I am a passenger, passive in all of the endlessly ongoing ritual that is traffic.
A freight train slices across the perfectly flat skyline. It is so long that I never see its start or its end, only an infinite horizon of boxcars and hoppers. Every other thing in Texas feels like a stereotype I should roll my eyes at, but I’m instead filled with fascination and delight, even at everything that’s imperfect or ridiculous and, as ever, I can’t stop making friends who are American, some who will become very close and vitally important to me. I can’t stop enjoying myself. The trouble with my enthusiasm is that it’s too big.
Tumblr media
I’m not supposed to like America. I grew up British, English, and all the playground talk was about how silly America was and is. The people aren’t as smart. They don’t have a good sense of humour. They have everything easier and still don’t do as well or work as hard in the same circumstances. I don’t now know what this mentality was, but it seemed some sort of contempt or resentment.
My father served with Americans in NATO in the 1960s, just as Kennedy and Khrushchev began to stand nose to nose. They were boisterous and bad at being soldiers, he said. The British were better and, in particular, more sensible. All these conversations, playground or personal, were also always about who was better. There was never the idea of being equal.
Other friends with parents who are more motivated or more middle class will go to America and come back with stories of things we don’t have. Those things are mostly different food or different cars or so many different sights to see. Or more television. They have things like Star Trek and The Simpsons, as well as a life full of tiny and so distinctly different details. I am an idealistic young boy and I can’t help but think about things that are somewhere else and different.
Tumblr media
The time is spring and the wind is freezing. I am in a bar in New York with a group of actors who have just performed a superb evening of improv comedy. Paired off, each performed an exercise where one must adhere to a script and only recite lines they’ve learned, while the other has no knowledge of this script and can only react, with no idea what lines might be coming next. The results are a combination of hilarious, ridiculous and ingenious, in spite of all these Americans having such a terrible sense of humour.
We’re served food in small plastic baskets, a detail that strikes me as the most New York thing possible, and the actors talk about the lines they had to learn or the responses they had to invent. The actor sat beside me asks me who I am, where I’m from and how it is that I’m friends with another member of the group, a series of unpretentious questions that suit this very unpretentious group of talented people. We comment that we have the same first name and only later do I discover that he is Paul Rudd and that my friend is a little intimidated by him. A few days later, Ed Harris shakes my hand and fixes me with eyes the colour of an iceberg, but I’m not intimidated by anyone. It’s only Ed Harris.
Tumblr media
The time is last week and the weather is Los Angeles. An eighty foot tall palm tree lords over the parking lot I am stood in, its shadow a sundial for an already setting afternoon sun. While my friend takes a ticket out of a parking meter, a man takes the trash out of a nearby bin and selects the most recyclable items, methodically emptying all the bottles he finds. These contrasts are so humdrum that nobody comments on them, though I still see fewer homeless people here than I do in San Francisco or Seattle. Block after block of those cities are packed with so many people who have nowhere to sleep that it’s an exercise in hiding humans in plain sight. Here, across LA, they are still more subtle, camped under bridges or living in every concrete nook the infrastructure affords.
All these cities are about some intersection of media and technology and convenience and big business, so being in them or near them is itself so prestigious and important that it teleports increasingly large amounts of money out of people’s pockets every month. Still, none of the geniuses and products and companies that make so much money in these places can dispel the displaced and disaffected because there is no profit to be made in helping the helpless. Instead, the richest and poorest people in the nation exist right on top of each other, never making eye contact.
Tumblr media
It helps to have a motor car. An automobile. Millions of people lock themselves in boxes to travel from convenience to convenience, driving through banks and post offices and diners and cafés, These petroleum-powered chairs play their music and offer holders to place their drinks and demand huge roads and parking lots just so that each person can have their own private and portable room to journey inside. These are supposed to be convenient, but every time I’m inside one, the person in control becomes confused or angry with all the other people in their portable rooms and there is swerving or swearing or long periods of grinding gridlock.
Still, they help because they keep you apart from the disillusioned and the disenfranchised by shutting out the outside world. My problem is that I can’t legally operate an automobile and I like to walk or share my transport with other people. Walking can be particularly odd, even dangerous, as more than a few roads are not built for walking along and, in many places, it’s only the most disadvantaged people who you’ll share the pavement with. It’s a weird way to meet everyone who has been forgotten.
I miss trains.
Tumblr media
The time is winter and I am supposed to be rolling through southern Oregon, but there has been some kind of mistake and our locomotive has taken a detour through a fantasy land torn straight from an Ivan Shishkin painting. I am trying to use two cameras at once to capture everything I see, because otherwise nobody will ever believe that I have been here or that any of this could possibly exist.
Every single tree is lathered with snow and a deep gorge runs parallel to the tracks, traced out by the jagged and reckless route of a ragged river. Above it there is a colossal hump of sleeping rock, shrouded in fog, and every curve of our route reveals some new variation of this scene, endless rearrangements of majestic mountains, rippling rivers and frozen forests. Everything everywhere is beautiful all the time and can’t afford to miss any of it in case I might never see it again.

The United States doesn’t have enough trains and it doesn’t spend enough time using them to show people how beautiful its landscapes are, whether those are forests or deserts or peaceful pacific coastlines. Instead, it shuttles everyone through airports with security that will look inside your shoes and airlines who will try to charge you for your seats and your bags. Flying has become a minor melodrama, but if you don’t want to ride your portable chair for forty hours, it’s the only way to put the Grand Canyon or Mount Rushmore or The Empire State Building on the same page.
The airports are ugly and the views are as likely to be of clouds or darkness or the seatback in front of you. Not enough people realise that, down there, everything everywhere could be beautiful all the time.

The time is autumn and the air is thick like soup, wet and warm and wrapped around me everywhere I go. I am in Florida and I will drink an awful lot of scotch that will all be paid for by a man who is impossibly rich. The man will never know or notice, because he is also paying for so many other people, plus an extremely famous DJ and to rent an entire theme park. Meanwhile, drunk, I will accidentally damage a toilet stall and a bouncer will mention who I am a guest of and suddenly there was never any problem.
A milkshake will save me from a hangover that makes the inside of my skull feel like cheap carpet charged with static. Someone will joke that, like Las Vegas, what happens in Florida stays in Florida, but I will meet a person who will begin to change my life and the what happens in Florida will follow me to England and then back again to the United States. One night, I will break into a state park and climb to the top of a ridge and see an entire city and coast blinking below, laid out like Christmas lights, while the din of a thousand spawning frogs fills the night behind me. Another night, I will lock myself in a tiny and windowless room, curl up on the floor in the dark and simply cry.
There will be a single ship bobbing in a bay beside a seaside restaurant, a sky-high hotel bar with the best view in the city, the steel outline of a old bridge hulking beside me in the darkness like the skeleton of a long-dead dragon. There will be so many experiences and I will pull all these disparate pieces apart to keep the good ones and learn from the bad.
Tumblr media
The time is a year of incredible emotional upheaval. I will stand on a hill and look at city shining in the sunlight, asking myself why I can’t and why I shouldn’t try to live somewhere different. I will stand in front of hundreds of people applauding things I have done, the artificial barriers of the internet finally stripped away. I will stand by the Pacific as I begin a romance of the sort I thought I could never enjoy. I will even visit Florida again to enjoy a kind of demented excess that involves cocktails in bowls, or take a tour of an island chain populated by some of the most expensive properties in the world, all ready to lose every cent of their value as the sea rises around them. I will stand tall across America and, while my life will take me elsewhere, it will be America that gives me the confidence and the love and the inspiration to be more than I already am.
On one trip I take a bus, because that is normal to me in Europe, and the only other person riding with me is a frustrated woman whose ride abandoned her and who needs to get to work. She has her shoes in her bag and she tells me she is a dancer. The shoes are enormous and so I naively ask how anyone could possibly dance in those.
Tumblr media
There is a moment where she is deciding if she can trust me or if judgement will follow what she says next. She makes a choice and tells me she is a stripper. I don’t know if she expected shock or disgust, but all I have for her is a whole barrage of questions about what that is like. She talks about the money she is saving and the plans she has to move away from her small town and all the men who can’t understand that they aren’t allowed to touch.
She leaves me her number and says I should call sometime. I try once but the number is engaged and I am not brave enough to try again. I am nowhere near as brave as her.
Tumblr media
The time is night and I am waiting for my ride. I am lost and so are they, so I stand on a street corner by the emptying train station and a tall, slim African American man approaches me. He is asking only for spare change, and only for the change I can truly spare, and it’s really no problem if I have none and he really is sorry to disturb me. The man has just come from a place nearby that offers support to veterans and is concerned I may not believe that he is one, so he produces a card to prove his service.
The man is impossibly polite and sincere in a way that I will never be able to be and when I ask him about his service he names places in Vietnam I have either never heard of or would struggle to find on a map. He has no job and no home and no family and still stands straighter and more stately than perhaps any other person I have ever seen. He is a marine and he has more dignity and decency in one toe than I have in my entire body and I feel pitiful giving him the dollars in my wallet. I am not intimidated by anyone, but I am humbled forever by this man.
Tumblr media
The time is now and I am in Seattle again, the place I have visited more than any other and where all my memories are the colour of wet sidewalks. I am staying with a non-binary friend who is showing me their huge stockpiles of food and telling me I’m welcome to eat all I like, a statement that makes me uncomfortable as it has just followed a description of all their cost-saving measures and how poor they are. I feel like the majority of my queer friends are poor. For some reason, they all want to help look after me.
This friend, maybe one of the most important people in my life, has just collected me from the airport and has a habit of treating me to road trips I wonder if they can really afford. I don’t think they have the money to try to travel across the country and understand both it and themselves, but they still try to help me do this.
I try to convince them to let me buy them food.
Tumblr media
My alarm goes off. It is morning again in America, but I am no longer a child and, in the country of impossible vistas and eminently possible dreams, I wonder what is realistic. I look at the television shows I watched thirty years ago and they’re full of white dudes. I find an old episode of The A-Team where they beat up a bunch of Mexican men and I feel disappointed. I look at my friends here and feel I haven’t listened enough to the experiences of those who are black, asian, hispanic or queer. I listen to my folk song and it’s two white men singing about a nice ride on transport that had often been segregated just a decade before.
It’s morning again in America and more children than ever will be homeless. More than one in ten homeless adults will be a veteran. Forest fires are more persistent and deadly than ever and last week I saw California hills covered in charcoal, as well as damage caused by indiscriminate blazes that burned right to the sea. Violence against LGBT people is on the rise and the number of those being murdered has nearly doubled from 2016 to 2017. There is a new song about America and it feels far more realistic and referential, more candid and circumspect, as well as more appropriate for those who who don’t have the opportunity to travel across the country and understand both it and themselves, who can’t fit the Grand Canyon or Mount Rushmore or The Empire State Building into the same life, who struggle to enjoy all the splendour of the country they were nevertheless born in and are citizens of.
Tumblr media
The time is jumbled and I am a paper plane and I never know where I’m going to go. I am in Portland, Maine, nestled into one of the oldest corners of the country, and I am peering through the fishy fog at a town like no other in America, but then I am in Minnesota, nervously watching news of a nearby tornado, but then I am in Indiana and sat at Kurt Vonnegut’s typewriter, or looking at Kurt Vonnegut’s Purple Heart, or reading each early draft of Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five, every one of them abandoned in favour of a fresh start that hoped for something better.
There are so many fresh starts and so many beginnings, each one the same but different, as the author tries again and again. One line in his finished novel will read  “Like so many Americans, she was trying to construct a life that made sense from things she found in gift shops.”
Tumblr media
But then I am in Arizona and the desert is purple, or I am in Virginia, or I am in Utah or New Hampshire or Massachusetts or Colorado, where the rocks are red and I see a saddlemaker for the first time. A saddlemaker.
But then I am in a university and Ursula Le Guin steps in through the door. Every single person in the room begins to behave differently and this tiny woman walks through an atmosphere thick with reverence and respect so rightly earned. Later I will stand up to speak to her and think about how so many important choices I made in my life, choices that seemed terrifying at the time, lead me to that moment, a moment that shows me how they were right and true and that I was so impossibly good to myself in making them. I will ask a question and I will remind myself that I am not intimidated by anyone.
She will speak back to me and the voice of Ursula is the voice of God.
Tumblr media
But then I am in Maryland in a rainstorm, the thunder rippling around me and the lightning tearing open a sky too large to exist on this planet. I am in San Diego and there are Bible passages and references on a plumber’s van. I am in Pennsylvania, looking at the Liberty Bell. I am in Los Angeles and it is Christmas and the tree is eighty foot tall. I am trying to be in all the museums in Washington DC and I zigzag across the town like the lines on a Pollock, but the trouble with American history and culture is that it’s too big.
But then I am in love, more than once, and I will give my heart to people who come from this country at which I am supposed to glower or frown. I will want to give them my all.
Tumblr media
The time is summer and the Illinois night is flush with chirping cicadas. The kitchen light is too bright and I eat dessert with the grandmother of a young woman I like and she warns me not to go too far south on the Chicago metro.
“When the people turn the colour of the chocolate on your eclair,” she says, “go the other way.”
I have never heard someone say something so brazenly racist in such an everyday setting.
The time is winter and my partner tells me that so much of America hates people like her. I had never considered this before because America is full of people like her, but she tells me stories of violence and assault and racism and being scared. No matter how precious or important I think she is, there are so many people who will never see that.
Tumblr media
My father sees America as three hundred and thirty million people who are all the same. I see it as the same number of people who are all wonderfully different. Some of those people are remarkably similar to my father and sure would like everyone to be the same.
What an impossibly stupid idea. How can you even try that in the country where the deserts are purple and the rocks are red and the air is thick like soup and the forests are frozen and the palm trees are eighty foot tall and the old bridge is the skeleton of a dragon and the horizon is a train. Why would you even want to, when there is so much excitement in what is somewhere else and different. There is no way to pull all these disparate pieces apart any more than there is any way to mash them all together or make the Grand Canyon or Mount Rushmore or The Empire State Building fit on the same page. There is no America waiting for you to understand both it and yourself, just like there is no life that makes sense from the things you find in gift shops. Both are tasks that are too big.
Trust me, you will never fully know America and you will never fully know yourself. That doesn’t mean, however, that you can’t love both.
Tumblr media
The time is this evening and I edit all I have written here and wonder if I will be called a cynic or a patriot or an idealist or an idiot. I am all of these things and also none, as I pull these disparate pieces of myself apart and mash them back together again. People tell me everything here is going wrong and there is so much to be unhappy about, but my affection for America won’t go away and if I ever think it might, I want you to help me reach for it and pull it back. I will never desert my American friends and nobody can ever erase the joy I’ve felt any more than they can turn back the tears that run down my cheeks as I write this.
I cannot edit this any more, much as I cannot edit America. There is no grand theme I can find, no story I can invent by reshaping and realigning pieces that never joined together in the first place. There is only a messy and imperfect whole, across which I have zigzagged like the lines on a Pollock. I doubt me or my journeys make sense to anyone.
Tumblr media
I have spent a small though significant fraction of my life in this country, but I have invested a disproportionate amount of my love, energy and enthusiasm here. I regret none of that and I have received rewards and restitution tenfold. My only problem now is that my experiences have left me with a condition both chronic and terminal: The trouble with my heart is that it’s too big.

Eddie Kaspbrak had made it one entire week without having a breakdown, and he was pretty damn proud of himself.
If he was honest he thought it would have been maybe three days tops before he came to his senses and made Richie take him back home, but it had been a week. Seven whole days of driving in that god awful hunk of metal, showering at truck stops, and eating gas station junk food. Richie had a duffel bag of clothes stuffed behind the back seat that they cycled through, all of Richie's clothes were a couple sizes too big on Eddie and very unlike his usual attire, all graphic t-shirts and denim jeans, but he found himself liking how he looked in them. (The underwear situation was... interesting, to say the least). Or maybe it was just how Richie looked at him when he put them on, he couldn't tell. Eddie would always fall asleep with the seat reclined to the static chords of the radio and Richie's voice and he would wake up to a bright sunrise and a hot cup of coffee (with milk and sugar, this time). He never saw Richie sleep, but he didn't think to ever question him about it. He didn't think to question him about a lot of things, like why he was living off a slowly depleting wad of cash in a plastic bag hidden in the glovebox, or if he actually knew where the hell they were at any point in time. He didn't think to ask about anything, because it had been the best week of his life.
Never in the seventeen years and ten months he had been alive had he felt so, well, alive. And maybe that was due to the adrenaline he got from doing something this rebellious, maybe it was the fact that his mother wasn't lecturing him about everything for once in his goddamn life, maybe his brain was going into overdrive from the nearly all-sugar diet he had been forced to switch to, and maybe it was simply the fresh country air in his lungs when the windows were rolled down, but god, he felt amazing. And Richie, wow, Richie.
Spending an entire week with someone you haven't known for very long, completely alone together, essentially trapped in a confined space, can really only go one of two ways. You will either start to despise them with every inch of your being, and the sound of their voice will irritate you to no end, and after it's over you won't be able to tolerate them ever again. Or, if it goes the other way, you'll start to fall in love with them.
And for Eddie, it was most definitely, unrelentingly, embarrassingly, the latter.
He kept catching himself staring, all starry-eyed and dreamy, at his dark-haired driver, butterflies fluttering around in his stomach, taking in the boys features both sharp and subtle, entranced by the imperfections in his skin and the cracks in his lips and the curls in his hair (he felt strange when he concentrated on his hair too long, as if it was linked to a hazy drunken memory that he couldn't quite remember no matter how hard he tried), and everything he saw he became infatuated with. Richie's free hand would often end up resting on Eddie's thigh or intertwined with his own over the centre console, and he would melt under the contact every time. And they talked about everything, both understanding there wasn't many boundaries at this point, as far as conversation went. Eddie learnt that Richie had been in an amateur rock band in high school where he played guitar and sang, fittingly called Trashmouth, that he always got at least a minor role in the school plays, and that got mostly straight A's, though his ADHD and incessant need to run his mouth gave his teachers a run for their money, and that his parents were the absolute worst and didn't much care for him at all, so he up and ran away in the middle of the night leaving nothing more than a note on the fridge. In return, Eddie told Richie about his mother and her tendency to be extremely overbearing, though to be fair it had died down significantly in the last couple of years due to her discovery of the wonders sleeping pills can do, and how he used to play baseball with Bill, and his mild obsession- er, crush on Christian Slater, and how a girl in a pharmacy had once told him that his asthma medication was not exactly real.
“She was the pharmacist's daughter, and she said that it was all fake. A gazebo, I think she said.”
“Wait, what did she say?”
“I know, right! All fake. I didn't know whether to believe her or not because she was kind of a bitch, but-”
“Gazebo.”
“...That's what I said, yes.”
“Do you by any chance mean placebo, babe?”
“I- what?”
“Placebo, like fake medication that tricks your brain into thinking it's real. A gazebo's like a tent- podium kinda thing... Eds?”
“I've been lied to.”
And when they weren't talking, Richie was singing, and Eddie appreciated this very much. A particular song would come on and Richie would stop dead in the middle of a sentence to turn up the volume and belt out the lyrics. Sometimes Eddie would sing along, if he happened to know it, but most of the time he would just put his feet up on the dashboard and close his eyes, listening contently. His voice suited him well, a little raspy and rough but still smooth and steady, it sounded like heaven to Eddie. But then again, everything about Richie Tozier seemed like heaven to Eddie.
Richie Tozier had made it one week without having a breakdown, but he felt he wasn't going to last much longer.
It took everything in him to keep it together. The last thing he wanted to do was crack in front of Eddie, because geez, Eddie was something special, and he didn't want to mess this up.
He was so anxious that he had barely slept at all, only pulling over way past midnight when his eyelids felt like they were about to collapse, and then it would only be an hour or so before he woke up and started driving again, always before sunrise, always while Eddie was still asleep. He didn't want Eddie to know how little he was sleeping, worried it would cause him to panic and feel unsafe that he was being driven by someone so sleep-deprived, so he put an extra shot of espresso in his coffee and powered through. And when he felt like he was too on edge he sang to calm himself down, or he got Eddie talking and he listened to stories and anecdotes that he would recite about his friends during the years he had been gone. This helped to distract him temporarily from his intrusive thoughts but it didn't stop them, they were still there, mocking and so loud that sometime's he wanted to scream.
But he couldn't break down. Not while he wasn't alone.
Beverly's voice was a regular visitor amongst those thoughts, repeating her last words to him over and over again like a broken record, don't do anything stupid, no fucking excuses, don't fuck this up, i'll never forgive you for it.
The words, the pressure they put him under that left him feeling nauseous and dizzy, it was driving him crazy. Because he knew he was about to do something fucking stupid.
Eddie woke up in the early hours of the morning, the eight morning since he had left home, and instantly knew something was up.
They first thing he noticed were the streetlights, as he blinked his eyes open and allowed his vision to adjust. There hadn't been streetlights on the highway. He turned his head slightly, only seeing the rooftops from his half-laying position. He sat up slowly, stretching his arms out in front of him. Now he could see the houses under the roofs, most of them looking pretty run down and old fashioned, a paint chipping off wooden tilings and torn-up chain link fences kind of deal.
He adjusted his seat forward as he looked out the window, nose crinkled in confusion.
“Rich, why are we off the highway?” he yawned, finally looking over at the boy, who he noticed looked especially rough today though he didn't mention it.
“Well good morning to you too, babe,” Richie jeered, “and we're just making a short pit stop, then we'll get back to it.”
“Pit stop?” Eddie repeated, raising an eyebrow.
“Mhm. Just up here, actually.”
The truck slowed to a stop in front of a particularly run down house. Eddie could see beer bottles scattered across the lawn that was more weeds than grass and a torn up fly-screen door. Richie pulled on the handbrake and switched off the ignition.
“Richie, where are we?” Eddie asked cautiously, pretty sure he already knew the answer. Richie took a sharp intake of air and undid his seatbelt, avoiding Eddie's question as he reached for the door handle. Eddie grabbed his shirt sleeve.
“Rich, don't ignore me.” His voice was low and stern, and Richie slumped back against the seat, turning to face him.
“We're at my- we're at my parents house. I'm just- I gotta go get a few things,” Richie tried to make it sound casual but his his voice was unsteady and he could feel his hands start to shake. “Important things. Ten minutes, in and out. That's all.”
Eddie didn't release his grip from Richie's shoulder. Richie swallowed hard.
“I don't know if you should,” Eddie's eyes darted between Richie and the house, “It doesn't feel safe. What if your parents-”
“C'mon Eds,” Richie took Eddie's hand off his shoulder to hold in his own, “they're probably passed out, they might not even be home. Anyways, I'm used to sneaking around in there,” he laughed at the last part but he could see Eddie wince. He moved his free hand to Eddie's cheek and rubbed a circle with his thumb. “Just stay here. I'll be quick, okay?”
He opened the door and jumped out before Eddie could stop him and started down the driveway of the house.
“Fuck,” Eddie muttered, fumbling to get his seatbelt unclipped. He clambered out onto the pavement just as Richie stepped into the threshold.
The inside of the house was arguably in worse shape than the outside. The faded floral wallpaper was peeling in several places and chipped in many others. Every surface was disorganised and dusty, more empty bottles making up most of the clutter. The carpet was matted and covered in various sizes and colours of stains.
The television was on in the living room, emitting a dull, slightly static drone, and setting flickering shadows on the walls. Richie stepped towards the archway ever so slowly, his breathing so heavy he had to clasp a hand over his mouth. He poked his head around the wall, to see a figure sat up in the recliner, their head rolled back against the top of the chair, letting out a choked snore. He exhaled in relief and started to walk down the hallway when he felt a tap on his shoulder and nearly jumped out of his skin. “Richie, this is dumb, let's go,” Eddie hissed under his breath, and Richie spun around, hands clutched to his chest. “Jesus fucking Christ, Eds, you gave me a heart attack,” he closed his eyes and tried to even out his breathing for a moment. “I told you to stay in the truck.”
Eddie's eyes flicked over to the armchair and his breath hitched in his throat. Richie watched the colour fade from his face and grabbed his shoulders.
“We shouldn't be doing this Rich,” he squeaked, instinctively grasping for his inhaler- which was still in the truck, “we really shouldn't be doing this.”
“He's asleep, he's asleep, he's not gonna wake up,” Richie's voice was hushed and pleading, moving one hand to Eddie's chin and forcing him to look at him, “Eddie, go back to the truck. Please.”
Eddie shook his head, feeling Richie's hand tremble against his skin. Richie exhaled sharply out of his nose and lead Eddie down the hallway.
The room was different to the rest of the house, in the sense that it actually felt inhabited. The walls were covered in band posters and movie posters of all sorts. The bed was pushed against the far wall, covers askew on the mattress. The wooden headboard had been carved into, presumably with a pocket knife, different names and initials and whatnot. There wasn't really much in the way of material possessions, spare an obviously well-loved acoustic guitar sat on a stand in a corner and a few photo frames and aerosol deodorant cans on the dresser. It was small and comfortable and it smelled like Richie, and Eddie found himself calming down.
Richie knelt down next to the bed and pulled out a small suitcase, sliding it towards Eddie and gesturing towards the dresser.
“Just chuck as much as you can fit in there,” he said, and Eddie did as he was told, unzipping the suitcase and pulling open the top drawer, fighting an urge to fold the clothes as he threw them in. Richie laid down on his stomach and tried reaching for something under the bed, stretching one arm out with a muffled groan. He retracted his arm in a huff when he couldn't reach whatever he was looking for and proceeded to manoeuvre the top half of his body under the bed frame. Eddie had nearly cleared the top drawer and had an arrangement of clothing in and around the suitcase (Richie obviously did not care for sorting his clothes and everything was just thrown in together), when his eyes caught something much more vibrant than what Eddie had expected. He held the shirt up in front of him by the collar, stifling a laugh. It was bright orange and patterned with yellow silhouetted palm trees. He spun around, holding the shirt against his chest. Richie emerged from under the bed with an 'aha!', clutching a shoebox. His hair was all dishevelled and the smile fell from his face when he saw Eddie.
“That's not mine,” he sputtered as Eddie bit back a smile.
“Sure it's not,” he teased, “should I pack it anyway? Are you planning on attending a luau in the near future?”
“Shut up,” Richie stood up from the floor and ripped the shirt from his hands, rubbing the fabric between his fingers for a moment before dropping it onto the pile of clothes that had accumulated on the floor. Eddie stepped over and picked up the shoebox that Richie had pulled out.
“I'll save you the shock, it's all weed.”
Eddie nearly snapped his neck when his head shot up, and Richie smirked as his face went white.
“Drugs,” he choked out, leaving his mouth hanging open.
“No babe, weeds from the garden. Yes it's drugs,” he walked over and took the box off Eddie, who snapped his mouth shut and pressed his lips into a line, “and cigarettes. And cash. Important shit.”
Eddie went back to the suitcase, shoving everything in and zipping it shut, but not without a struggle, and Richie grabbed his guitar by the neck and they both headed to leave. They quietly snuck back towards the front door, tiptoeing past the living room where the television was still humming away. They threw everything in the back seat and climbed into the front. Richie smacked his forehead with the palm of his hand.
“Shit, forgot something,” he mumbled, and hopped back out before Eddie could protest, “i'll be two seconds.” He disappeared back into the house, and Eddie sat nervously, fingertips fidgeting in his lap.
Richie crept back to his room and across to his dresser. There were three photo frames, two were of him, Bev, Bill, and Stan back when they were kids, and one of just him and Bev. He smiled to himself, fingers tracing over their faces, before he picked them up in a stack.
“You got a lot of nerve in you, boy.”
Richie felt his throat closed up instantly as he turned around. His father stood in the doorway, half-leaning against the wall, eyes glazed over and drunkenly heavy, his stare burning into Richie's skin. He was wearing jeans and a shirt that may have once been white but definitely wasn't anymore, and he was all skin and bones under his clothes. His face was hollow and sunken and creased, planted with a permanent sneer displaying crooked yellowing teeth, and his hair was dark and thin, what was still there, that is.
“Hiya Pops,” Richie forced a sickly grin, his voice course and uneven, “thought I'd drop back in to see ya.”
Wentworth Tozier took an unsteady step forward, raising one accusatory bony finger towards his son. Richie automatically shifted into a fighting stance, his hands hovering in front of him, prepared to make a move if he had to, and he could smell the rotten beer coming from the man's mouth even from across the room.
“I told you, if you leave, then you don't come back,” he slurred, his voice low and gravelly, and Richie thought he would prefer if he was shouting. Shouting was always just shouting. It was when his voice was lowered that led to-
“And now you come back, and you steal from me,” Richie felt himself shrinking with every word, despite being taller than his father, he felt like he was about to be crushed, “and you think I won't notice.”
He took another unbalanced step forward and Richie's eyes went to the doorway, mentally planning out his route so he could make a run for it. The stench intensified as the source drew closer, and he felt that he might start gagging.
“You know I'd love to stay, dad, but I should probably get going now,” he tried to joke but his mouth was uncomfortably dry and it came out as a ragged whisper.
“Don't be a fucking smartass, Rich,” he raised a calloused hand above his head and Richie flinched, lifting his arms up to cover his face, still clutching the photo frames so hard that they were making indents in his palms. Wentworth grinned and snickered. “Fucking coward. Always have been.”
Richie took the opportunity to escape, using all the strength he could to shove past, and bolted to the front door. He practically leapt off the porch, struggling to keep his footing, and stumbled hurriedly to the truck, not looking back until he had his hand on the driver side door handle. He expected his father to appear in the threshold, fuming and shooting daggers with his eyes.
But he didn't.
The house remained completely void of movement, and he stood, nearly panting, the lenses of his glasses fogging up due to tears he wasn't aware he was crying.
Eddie watched from the passenger seat, not knowing what to do, not knowing what to say, or if he should say anything at all. He chose to stay quiet.
Richie stared into the house, waiting, just waiting for something. He stood there, trembling but otherwise frozen, for what felt like hours.
Richie Tozier had made it one week without having a breakdown.
“FUCK YOU,” he shouted, his voice cracked and dry and strained and terrified, “FUCK. YOU.”
He collapsed on the pavement, his legs simply too weak to hold him up any longer. He dropped the frames on the ground and flung his glasses off his face, sobbing and wailing into his hands, pulling his hair as he did, hard enough to shoot pain all over his scalp. Eddie got out and rushed over to the sidewalk, and Richie grabbed onto his shirt as soon as he knelt down close enough, pulling him forward and burying his face in Eddie's chest. Eddie wrapped his arms tight around his shoulders, stroking Richie's hair, feeling the sobs wracking through his body, keeping his eyes glued on the doorway.
“I'm so fucking sorry,” Richie whimpered through a shuddered breath, “I shouldn't have brought you here, I shouldn't have- FUCK-I-
“Shh, you're okay, babe, it's okay,” tears were brimming in his own eyes and he felt utterly useless.
“I'm a fuckup,” Eddie can feel Richie's tears soaking through his shirt and onto his skin, “I'm so stupid, fuck. I'm so fucking sorry.”
Eddie didn't say anything, just pressed his face into the top of Richie's head and pulled him tighter.
Richie eventually released his death grip on Eddie's shirt collar, and picked himself up. Eddie went to get his glasses, which had landed about three feet away, and the photo frames, while Richie achingly dragged himself up into the drivers seat.
“Do you want me to drive for a while?” Eddie asked before he could close the door.
“You can drive?” Richie wiped his nose with his sleeve, eyes still red and puffy, “You've just been using me as a taxi service all this time, huh? Not cool babe,” he jokes, and flashes a crooked smile. “Do you want me to or not?” Eddie laughs, and Richie nods before hopping out and moving to the passenger side.
Eddie had to readjust the seat and mirrors and it took a few tries before the engine started but soon they were on the road again.

I Keep Falling For You - Chapter Six
Chanyeol doesn’t want to be jealous, it’s his least favourite trait that he has. Trying not to be jealous is extremely difficult, however, because the whole damn campus seems to be crushing on Byun Baekhyun, and Chanyeol’s no different.
Chanyeol x Baekhyun + Kyungsoo x Jongdae - 2K Words - Fluff and Angst
One Two Three Four Five Seven Eight
This is also posted on AO3.
A/N: This chapter is in Kyungsoo’s p.o.v.
Kyungsoo’s always been a morning person, so when he wakes at 7:30 am, a body curled into his side, he’s hardly surprised. He pulls himself out of the vice grip he’s in carefully and sits on the side of the bed, reaching for his phone on top of the bedside table. He squints at the bright screen, eyes still adjusting to being awake, and finds 6 missed calls from Chanyeol on the screen. Sighing, he stands from his bed, stretching before padding out of the room, careful not to make too much noise.
He heads downstairs and once he’s in the kitchen, he fills up the kettle and flicks it on, sending a quick text of, ‘You awake?’, to Chanyeol.
He’s not expecting a reply for a few hours so he startles when his phone buzzes in his hand moments later. Reading Chanyeol’s text, he quickly presses call and starts pacing the kitchen whilst he waits for Chanyeol to pick up. He feels bad for missing the calls, worried Chanyeol may have had a bad night, but he was sort of busy last night and didn’t look at his phone at all, just shoved it on charge before going to sleep.
After a few rings, Chanyeol picks up with a cheery, “Morning Kyungsoo.”
Pausing in his pacing, he slowly says, “Chanyeol, what was with all the calls? Are you okay?”
“I’m okay Kyungsoo, I'm great actually.”
There’s a confused expression painted onto Kyungsoo’s face as he says, “Are you going to tell me why you called? Or, are you going to keep being so cryptic?”
Chanyeol lets out a giggle, an actual giggle, and Kyungsoo’s fully lost now, wondering if Chanyeol’s finally lost it. Then Chanyeol’s speaking up, ending Kyungsoo’s confusion with, “I went on a date last night!”
Kyungsoo momentarily forgets that he’s trying to keep quiet as he loudly blurts out, “What?! With who?!” He cringes as his voice echoes around the kitchen, knowing there’s no way his guest slept through that.
Chanyeol’s voice is overly excitable as he says, “Sehun, of course. We went to that fancy new restaurant by -”
Kyungsoo’s instantly confused again and he cuts Chanyeol off as he says, “Wait, wait, wait. Sehun? You better start from the beginning Park Chanyeol, and I want every detail.”
Kyungsoo listens intently as Chanyeol recites the events of his day yesterday, answering Kyungsoo’s questions along the way. He’s listening to Chanyeol, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t notice the sound of someone moving around upstairs. As Chanyeol talks about the drive home and how attractive Sehun is, Kyungsoo listens, and also notices the sound of soft footsteps on the stairs. As Chanyeol tells Kyungsoo about the kiss, he notices the sound of footsteps padding through the living room, heading towards the kitchen. He keeps engaged with Chanyeol though, making sure to ask questions and react accordingly.
He doesn’t turn around when he hears the footsteps come into the kitchen, just carries on telling Chanyeol how good a night it all sounds. He startles, however, when arms wrap around his waist from behind and a soft kiss is pressed to the back of his neck.
Despite his shock, he leans back into the touch, cheeks blushing as he says, “Sorry Chanyeol, I need to go. I’m so happy for you though, truly, it’s so nice to hear you so happy again.”
He exchanges good byes with Chanyeol as thumbs rub circles into his hips and when Chanyeol hangs up, he lets out a breath he didn’t know he’d been holding.
He’s getting ready to scold when he’s asked, “Why are you happy for him? What happened to Chanyeol?”
Sighing, Kyungsoo turns around, and says, “Jongdae, I can’t just tell you, do you know anything about being a best friend?”
Shrugging, Jongdae says, “I don’t know, Baekhyun never has any secrets that I need to keep to myself.” Kyungsoo’s hoping Jongdae will drop the topic, but then he notices the mischievous glint in Jongdae’s eye as his hands start running up Kyungsoo’s sides.
Kyungsoo growls out, “No! Don’t you fucking dare, Jongdae!”, as Jongdae’s hand movements speed up.
Smirking, Jongdae says, “Tell me what happened to Chanyeol and I won’t.”
Kyungsoo shakes his head no in response, and Jongdae starts tickling him relentlessly. It takes a few moments but Kyungsoo manages to grab Jongdae’s wrists and backs him out of the kitchen, into the living room, until the back of Jongdae’s knees hit the couch. Kyungsoo lets go as Jongdae falls back onto the couch, moving to straddle him so the older man can’t get free.
He realises the mistake he’s made moments later when Jongdae smirks and says, “Y’know this reminds me of last night, except you were the one lying down, and I seem to remember there being some begging involved.”
Kyungsoo groans in frustration, pinching the bridge of his nose as he says, “If you shut up, then I'll tell you about Chanyeol.”
Jongdae mimes zipping his mouth closed and Kyungsoo sighs once more before saying, “Chanyeol’s dating Sehun, they had their first date last night.”
Jongdae, ever the comic, mimes unzipping his mouth to say, “What? Chanyeol and Sehun? I mean I know you wanted it to happen but, I never thought...”
“Never thought he’d move on from Baekhyun? Truthfully neither did I, but I guess we were wrong.”
Jongdae intertwines his fingers with Kyungsoo’s, playing with his hands as he mumbles, “I can’t believe this, it seems so surreal.”
Freeing a hand, Kyungsoo reaches over to move Jongdae’s hair out of his eyes, voice soft as he asks, “Are you going to tell Baekhyun?”
Jongdae’s silent in thought for a moment before he breathes out, “No, I shouldn’t. He’s really been struggling since Chanyeol left.”
Sighing sadly, Kyungsoo responds, “He brought it on himself though, he broke Chanyeol’s heart.”
He moves off of Jongdae, nudging him to sit up. Jongdae pulls him down to sit next to him, an arm wrapping around his shoulders.
Playing with Kyungsoo’s fingers, Jongdae says, “You know Baekhyun though, he’s never thought seriously about romance and relationships. I think he just thought Chanyeol would always be there, now he’s not and I get the feeling Baek’s learning some things about himself.”
Kyungsoo turns to look at Jongdae as he asks, “What do you mean?”
“He tells me things late at night sometimes, when he’s too sleepy to keep up that careless act. At first, it was just about how Chanyeol was a great kisser and how he didn’t realise he was attracted to him. The longer Chanyeol’s been gone though, the sadder he gets. I could be misreading but I think... I think Baekhyun likes Chanyeol.”
Kyungsoo tenses at those words, eyes widening as he says, “If he likes him, why’d he reject him? Why hasn’t he tried to win Chanyeol back?”
“Think about it Kyungsoo. A flirty careless guy like Baek suddenly gets confessed to by one of his best friends, of course he’s going to freak out. I think now, he knows he’s messed up, and he’s convinced himself there’s no way to fix it.”
“I’m sorry for saying this Jongdae, but your best friend is an asshole.”
Jongdae lets out a soft laugh at this, smiling gently as he replies, “He’s done some shitty things, but he’s a good guy, you know that.”
“I don’t know Jongdae, I'm just not convinced Baek actually has feelings for Chanyeol, and I can’t let him get hurt again.”
Jongdae turns to face him fully, his expression the one he wears when he’s about to spill some gossip. His voice shifts to a mysterious tone, his gossip voice, and he says, “So the other day, I came home, and trust me this will surprise you, it surprised me. I found Baek sitting in the living room, one of Chanyeol’s songs on SoundCloud playing. Now that’s not exactly weird, we jam out to his music sometimes, but he just had this utterly devastated look on his face. Later, I found out it was the song Chanyeol was working on in the studio that day Baekhyun had gone with him.”
Kyungsoo sighs, letting his forehead rest on Jongdae’s shoulder. He feels a hand come up to play with his hair and his smiles slightly as he says, “You’re sure? You really think Baekhyun has feelings for him?”
“I think Baekhyun’s had feelings for him for a long time, he just hadn’t realised it. I know that sounds stupid, but if anyone’s capable of doing that, it’s Baekhyun.”
Kyungsoo lifts his head up to look at Jongdae, puppy dog eyes showing as he says, “Can you ask him? We need to be sure Jongdae.”
Jongdae groans out, “Fuck you for using your adorableness against me.” Kyungsoo just shoots Jongdae a look that says, ‘answer me’, and Jongdae mumbles, “Fine, but I hardly think he’ll tell me straight up.”
He moves so he’s lying down, head resting on Kyungsoo’s lap and he smiles up at him as he says, “Anyway, when are you going to mention us to Chanyeol?”
Kyungsoo frowns slightly, gaze meeting Jongdae’s as he says, “I thought you were okay with us not telling people?”
“I was - I am. I haven’t told Baekhyun either, but you said Chanyeol is getting suspicious. I just think it won’t be long till he starts asking questions.”
“What am I supposed to tell him Jongdae? ‘Oh yeah, I'm seeing Jongdae but we’re not dating and there’s no label, we just fuck and cuddle sometimes.’ How romantic.”
“We’re romantic!”
“Jongdae, there is literally nothing romantic about us.”
Jongdae pouts and mumbles out, “I bought you flowers, that’s romantic.”
“You bought me flowers as an apology for leaving hickeys all over my neck. Not that I got them because you gave them to Baekhyun.”
Jongdae rolls his eyes as he whines out, “He looked so sad Kyungsoo, I wanted to cheer him up, I'm a nice person.”
“Yeah, real adorable. Now fuck off out of my house, I have course mates coming over in 30 minutes.”
Jongdae whines at Kyungsoo’s harsh behaviour, but still moves off Kyungsoo’s lap and stands. He holds out a hand to pull up Kyungsoo as he says, “Come on, let’s go get dressed.” He whines about Kyungsoo kicking him out the whole time, but still gets changed quickly and doesn’t attempt to distract Kyungsoo.
Kyungsoo walks him to the door when he’s ready and sends him off with a kiss and a call of, “Don’t forget to ask Baekhyun about Chanyeol.”
He only gets a response of, “Yeah whatever babe, I'll let you use me for information”, before he shuts the door.
A few hours later, when Kyungsoo’s in the middle of working on the group project he’s been assigned with his course mate, his phone starts ringing. Noticing that it’s Jongdae calling, he excuses himself and heads into the hallway to answer the call.
Before he can even say anything, Jongdae’s blurting out, “He said yes.”
Kyungsoo sits down on the stairs before responding, “What?”
Jongdae’s voice is hushed, clearly trying to hide the conversation from Baekhyun, and he says, “I asked him if he has feelings for Chanyeol, and he said yes straight up. Then he cried at me for like an hour about how much he misses him and how he’ll never get to fix things.”
Kyungsoo sighs softly as he says, “I can’t tell Chanyeol about this, and you can’t tell Baekhyun about Chanyeol and Sehun.”
“Obviously. Why can’t you tell Chanyeol though?”
“He sounded so happy about him and Sehun, I can’t put him back through all that hurt and confusion again. You understand, right?”
Jongdae lets out a sad sigh before saying, “Yeah, I do, I just wish it wasn’t so hard.”
“I know Dae, so do I. You’re already going through so much already. Look I have to go back to my group project, text me when you’re next free to hang out?”
“Yeah okay, good luck with your work. Bye Soo.”
When the call ends, Kyungsoo takes a moment to collect himself, feeling awful for deciding to keep this from Chanyeol. He moves the thoughts to the back of his mind though, heading back into the living room and throwing himself back into his work.

A/N: I said I would stop… I said I would take a break from smut… And what do I do? Take my friend’s suggestion to heart and write a KaiBaek threesome smut. Do I hate myself? A little. Do I hate her more? Hell yeah. Anyway, this is my first threesome smut, so, enjoy I guess. (This is pretty long, I think)
~Admin Allie
You stood in the middle of the room and practiced your breathing techniques. Your belly expanded as far out as it could before you exhaled the air that made snap back into place. You did this a few times, making sure to stretch out your lungs and to get yourself ready for the notes you’d have to belt out in just a few moments. You bent forward and took the top of your feet into your hands. You inhaled for three seconds and exhaled for the same amount of time. You were to repeat this exercise until you got to ten but before you could even reach eight, you felt someone’s cool hand on the exposed skin of your lower back. You shot up with a curse on the tip of your tongue but when you saw Baekhyun grinning at you, you just rolled your eyes.
“I’m impressed. You started doing your exercises without me.”
“That’s because you’re late.” Your words came out from deep inside of your chest, showing that you were more than ready to start your lesson. You made your way to the stand that the songs you practiced with sat upon. You looked down at the song you would be practicing for your Wednesday lesson and your eyebrows were fixated in a confused expression.
“Too difficult for you?” Baekhyun asked you with a voice of fake concern and a smirk.
“Yes,” You were going to be upfront with him. “‘Arirang Alone’ is hard enough already but you want me to sing it in the style of So Hyang? She is an actual vocal goddess and there is no way that I can pull this off.” He tilted his head to the side, now as confused as you were.
“Arira-,” He shook his head and walked to the stand. He looked through the papers and let out a breathy laugh before smiling to himself. “These are the papers from the lesson I was teaching earlier. Yours are here.” He pulled the sheet from the back of the stack and put it to the front. You looked down and raised your brows when you saw the title. “I know that you are capable of singing this song, for sure.” He patted your back before he went to the piano.  
The song was Slow by 2ne1. It was a song the song that you listed as your favorite when you signed up for classes a few months ago. You set it as your goal to be able to effortlessly pull of the song whenever you were ready and you figured that this was Baekhyun telling you that you had come far enough to do so.  
He started to play the piano and you soon followed up with your voice. As you pushed out the notes, Baekhyun looked up to you and gave you encouraging smiles and nods. While you sung, you thought about how strained your voice used to sound while singing. Your voice was now well trained and made smooth transitions and it was all thanks to the irritatingly good looking man that smiled before you. As the song got closer to the end, he joined you by singing Dara’s part while you took on Bom’s adlibs. You didn’t want to admit it, but your voices together was a sound you learned to love. The way his tone complimented that of your own made you want nothing more than to sing with him all day long.
The song came to an end but Baekhyun’s fingers still played random notes, coming up with his own melody as background music. “That was amazing.” His fingers kept dancing across the piano keys and he gave you a proud smile. You usually didn’t feel the slightest bit shy around Baekhyun but the way he was smiling at you made you blush and look to the ground so that you could get a hold of yourself for a second.
“Thank you,” you said simply.
“Do you have plans later?” His smile was gone and he gave you a straight face that was strangely unreadable.
“Hm, I wanted to cuddle with dog but I guess I can reschedule.”
“Wanna go out?” His question was easy to answer but you couldn’t really force out the “yes” that you immediately wanted to give him.
“Depends on where,” You started. “I don’t do clubs or loud crowds.”
“That’s perfect then. My friend is having a recital tonight and he told me to bring someone along.”
“And that someone is me?” You were back to your typical sassy self and crossed your arms over your chest. You smirked at him as if you had achieved something.
“You weren’t my first choice.” Your confidence was shut down and your face fell.  
When he took notice of your expression, he laughed at you and pulled his hands from the piano to clap his hands together just one time. “Aww, look at you! I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings.” He stood up and placed his hands on your slumped shoulders. “You were the first person I thought to bring. I was just kidding.” He grinned and winked at you. You scrunched up your nose at his cute face and moved his hands from your shoulders.  
“I guess I’ll come. I’d hate for my beloved vocal coach to be going to some show all alone.” He chuckled at you and shook his head.
“I have a few more lessons so you can go home and change if you want, there’s no dress code. I’ll pick you up around eight thirty.” You nodded to him and packed up your things before walking out of the room. When you approached your car, you got a text from Baekhyun.
*Ah, the show is three hours long so eat something. I’m not buying you food.* [5:49pm]
After eating a sandwich and trading out your sweatpants for a pair of light blue jeans, you decided to  take a nap. But, after what felt like minutes, your phone was buzzing next to your head.
“Hello?” You voice was thick and deep. You tried to clear your voice a few times after getting a preview of how it sounded.
“Ew, were you sleep?” Baekhyun poked fun at you.
“Why 'ew’? Isn’t my sleepy voice sexy?” You got off of the couch with a grunt and stretched your muscles.
“It’s something,” he paused. “I’m outside. Hurry up.”
“Okay.” You put on your sneakers and grabbed a jacket on your way out, unsure of if the theater would be cold or not.
The ride was as you expected it to be, teasing and randomly flirtatious comments here and there. You two got out of the car and walked to the crowded entrance of the theater. Baekhyun held onto your hand as you walked through the people, whispering sorrys and quick apologies as you bumped into them.  
You two arrived at the doors of the theater and he handed the usher the tickets. She nodded to you two with a small smile and allowed you in. You followed Baekhyun toward the stage and walked into the fifth row from the front. You both picked up the programs that sat in the seats and you looked through it.
“What’s your friend’s name?”
“Kim Jongin. He’s the primo ballernio.” He pointed to his face in the program.
“Ooh, fancy.” Those were the last words you said before the lights started to dim. The music started up and little girls in cream leotards paired with sparkly white tutus. The show started out beautifully but when Jongin came out, the whole vibe of the stage changed. The music was dark and he was the only person in drab and worn clothes. He had on a loose with top with black marks on it and tan tights that had rips in them.  
The way he danced was graceful, powerful and dangerously passionate. His body moved across the stage with little effort and he lifted the woman into the air in a way that showed that he was in charge. And his facial expressions pulled you into him. The way his menacing smile graced his deceivingly innocent face made the story even more real. You felt lost in his movements until you felt a hand on your thigh.  
“Isn’t he great?” In an effort to make his voice a whisper, he made it deeper than normal and spoke close to your ear. You dryly swallowed air and nodded at him. “The way he dances, it’s so lovely and seductive.” Baekhyun’s hand traveled higher up your thigh and you slightly squirmed under his touch. “I know you feel it too. The excitement he sends through your body with even the twitch of the corner of his lips.” His hand barely touched your clothed pussy but having him so close still made you bite down on your lips to fight a breathy moan.  
The crowd started to applaud and cheer as the lights came back on. The intermission had started. Baekhyun smirked at you and moved his hand away from you slowly. Your mouth was dry and you needed a break from him. You stood from your seat and walked past him without a word.  
“Where are you going?” As you wiggled past him, he bought one of his hands to your hip and helped you pass him.  
“I need to get some water.” Once you got out of the row, you power walked to the concession stand to get an overpriced water. You handed the man your three dollars and twisted open the bottle. You chugged down the water and wiped at your face as the water escaped your mouth at the corners. As you chugged, you felt someone tap on your shoulder. You turned around and was a panting Jongin. He smiled at you.
“Sorry, but can you scoot over? I need some water.” You didn’t question him even though you knew there had to be water backstage for the cast. He got a water from the man and wasn’t asked to pay for it. He drank down the water quickly. You didn’t mean to stare at him but the way the sweat glistened on his skin was a sight to see. Along with the way his adam’s apple bobbed up and down as he drank his water. He started to walk away but turned on his heels after a few strides.
“Hey, are you Baekhyun’s friend? I saw you sitting next to him so I assume you came with him?”  
“Uh, yeah. He invited me to come with him.” Jongin flashed you another smile and nodded, as if he was approving of his friend’s choice of a guest.  
“It’s nice to meet you.” He walked up to you again and held out his hand. “Jongin.”
“Y/N.” The lights in the hall dimmed twice, signaling the start of the second half of the show. You pulled your hand away from his but he held on to your for one second longer.
“See you later, Y/N.” The way he grinned at you before running away almost made you fall over. It made you so weak and you felt your knees buck beneath you.  
You made your way back to your seat just in time. “You all good now?” Baekhyun asked you as you settled down into your seat. You nodded at him and kept your eyes glued to the stage. “Are you sure?” His hand took it’s original spot on your leg and his thumb softly rubbed your clothed thigh.
“Baekhyun, please.”
“Please what?” His voice was almost as low as a growl.
“Please, keep your hands to yourself.”
“Make me.” Your heart responded to his voice and you didn’t want it to. But you didn’t dare to move his hand away from you. As much as you were suffering, you didn’t want to lose his touch. He laughed in your ear and grinned. “See, you like this.” His hand moved to cup your pussy and you sighed, turning your face to his. “Be good and keep your eyes on Jongin.” You closed your eyes shut before opening them up wide and focusing on Jongin.
His slender fingers lightly stroked at your want. He kissed you on the cheek as you watched Jongin move elegantly and swiftly. Your attention started to waver when you felt pressure on your clit. You took a sharp breath in and tightened your legs together. Baekhyun shushed you before you made any sound and moved his hand from you.
“I’ll let you finish later.”
For the second half of the show, Baekhyun sat next to you as if everything was normal. He reacted to the show and the plot changes as if he hadn’t done what he just did. You tried to forget his actions and his voice that grumbled in your ear. Or how his soft lips barely touched the conch of your ear as he whispered. You tried to focus on the stage as well, but you couldn’t when Jongin’s part was cut short because of his characters untimely death. The last scene was beginning to fade into the darkness as the curtain drew closed. Everyone cheered and applauded as the theater lit up again. Everyone stood to their feet when the performers walked on the stage according to their role, minor characters first, major ones last.
When Jongin came onto the stage, Baekhyun began to shout his name and whistle. Jongin was beaming on the stage as he was being praised for his flawless performance. He picked up the flowers that were thrown his way and even allowed himself to part with a few, handing some single pink roses to the little girls to the right of him. Everyone took their final bows and the curtains closed for their final time.
“Come on.” Baekhyun tugged at your shirt and you followed him. “We have to go see him backstage.” You walked through the halls and eventually came to a door that had a sign that read “Cast & Crew ONLY” Baekhyun pushed right through the door and his eyes immediately found Jongin.
“That’s my boy!” Jongin’s eyes lit up and he made his way through a few people to hug him.
“I’m so happy you came! Everyone else were 'too busy’” He rolled his eyes and shook his head with a cute pout.
“I wouldn’t miss it for the world.” Baekhyun slapped his arm quickly. “Ah! This is Y/N, she’s one of my students.”
“Student is a weird word to use,” you said under your breath so you couldn’t be heard.
“I know, I met her in the hall during intermission.” He smiled at you and you returned it.
“You’re an amazing dancer. It was seriously too beautiful for words.” His smile was wider than it was all night and he thanked you more times than necessary.
“Are you doing anything after this?” Baekhyun asked, directing his question to Jongin.
“Hm, nope, why?”
“Want to show Y/N the piece we’ve been working on together?” Jongin nodded his head excitedly. He gathered his things while you and Baekhyun walked back to his car.
“That’s funny, I don’t remember being if I had plans after this.”
“I didn’t have to ask because you already agreed to be with me tonight. And, you have no friends so you might as well come.” His little jab was almost painful but it was true. You just laughed it off and got into the car.
The studio was only minutes away, you could have walked there if you wanted to. Jongin pulled keys out of his bag and opened the door. He switched on the lights and let down the blinds before locking the door once you and Baekhyun got inside.  
“Is this place all yours?” You slid of your jacket and placed your things on the couch. There wasn’t much in the studio. Just a few posters, the couch, a grand piano and a small sound system. There were three doors to the back, you assumed that they’d be closets and a bathroom.  
“Yup, I rented it out years ago but I decided to buy it sense dancing is starting to pay off.” You nodded at him before further inspected the place.
“Jongin and I have been working on an original piece together. One day I was fooling around on the piano and he just started freestyle dancing to the song.” Baekhyun sat at the piano and started playing the same song he was playing earlier in the practice room. “You wanna see it?”
“Sure.” You started to walk to the couch but Jongin called out to you.  
“It would be better if you sat in front of me, right in front of the mirrors.” You agreed and sat in the seat he asked you too. Baekhyun started to play the familiar tone and this time began to sing along.
“I may look strong even laughing, but actually I am so alone.” His light voice went on for a little and you swayed you head from side to side. But once the song reached the chorus, Jongin’s delicate body began to move. It wasn’t like the dancing you saw earlier. While it was still as precise and passionate, the dance was one of a man in love, not a menacing heartbreaker. His movements fit so well with the message of the song.  
He continued to dance and as the song approached the bridge, he took you by the hand and lead you to the bench Baekhyun was sitting on. Baekhyun smiled at you but it wasn’t the same as the others, it was bashful and had a refreshing shyness. You watched his hands glide across the keys and gently push on each one to push out the beautiful notes. He glanced at you quickly before focusing on the keys and his singing again. His voice made your heart pound. The way his lips delivered each syllable and how his tongue loosely rested against the roof of his mouth to create a breathy sound in his voice, it was all so beautiful.
The song came to an end and your pulse was going faster than it should for someone who only sat for the past few hours.
“How was it?” Jongin plopped onto the floor, next to your side of the bench.
“Everything about it, it was just so perfect. Your dancing paired with Baek’s singing, wow. I would pay over and over to see it.” He smiled at you and rested his hand on your leg.
“Thank you,” he said sincerely and gave a light squeeze to your thigh. You tried to keep your reaction as minimal as possible but the heat in your face betrayed you. You blushed and lowered your eyes from his. You patted his hand with your own and moved it from your thigh. He chuckled and shook his head as he stood to his feet and let down the lid of the piano and laid his body on top of it.
“I’m sure your voice is just as beautiful as Baekhyun’s, Y/N. Can I hear it?” He flashed you an cute smile as he settled his chin into the palms of his hands. You cleared your voice a little and started singing just any song that came to mind. Jongin was giving you a good response but you still looked to Baekhyun out of habit, looking for any expression that was telling you off about being slightly out of tune or how your breathing was wrong. But all he did was smile.
“I think you could have a better voice than mine if you keep up with the lessons.” His words were honest. “Such a pretty voice and a face even more so.”
“Thank you,” you said in a hushed voice. You tapped your fingers on the keys but made sure to not press too hard careful to not make any sound in the slightly uncomfortable silence. You looked out of the corner of your eye and saw Baekhyun’s fingers fidgeting with a loose thread on the inner thigh of his jeans. Then finicky fingers stop and suddenly one hand disappeared behind your body. His left hand latched onto your waist and he placed his chin in your shoulder. He took a deep inhale.  
“Y/N,” He said lowly. The way his honey like voice sent your name to your ears made you blink hard. But your eyes shot open when you felt another hand on your cheek. Jongin was now in your personal space but you didn’t mind at all. His thumb swiped over your bottom lip and he stared at it while he caught his own lip between his teeth. “Hmm, my sweet Y/N.” Baekhyun hummed and bought his lips to your ear. He planted a soft kiss on it and trailed his kisses downward, planting them on the soft skin of your neck. You squeezed your eyes shut and moved your head, opening space for Baekhyun’s kisses to freely land.
“Look at me, princess.” Jongin looked you in your eyes before smirking and attacking your lips. His plump lips molded to yours perfectly. The kisses were slow, long and tender, allowing you to bask in the feeling. He moved his lips against yours slightly and kept up the slow pace. You nipped at his bottom lip and he smirked against your lips.  
Baekhyun’s hands started to roam all over your body with no clear destination. He brushed his hand over your tummy before cupping your breast, all while sucking and kissing on your neck. His hand moved away from your breast and he was now dancing his fingers along your thigh. You gasped against Jongin’s lips as he cupped your want from over your pants.  
“Do you want to finish what we started earlier?” He spoke against your skin.
“Yes,” as soon as the word left your lips, both of the men stood up and started to undress themselves. You watched them strip down and you noticed how they eyed each other. They smiled at one another before approaching you and working at your clothes; Baekhyun behind you pulling off your top and bra and Jongin in front of you, pushing down your pants and panties and taking off your sneakers.
Baekhyun started to place light kisses on your shoulders and the back of your neck as his hands admired every part of your body. Jongin kissed up your thigh and laid a quick one on your hip bone before making his way to the couch. You watched him as he took his member into his hand and slowly pumped at it.  
“Just like before, you’re going to keep your eyes on him,” Baekhyun whispered as his right hand made its way to the middle of your legs. His middle finger brushed against your entrance and moved back and forth, making sure to touch every part of your pussy. His other hand worked on your nipples, pinching them and rolling them between his index finger and thumb.
Jongin started to pump himself faster, his eyes were half closed and his teeth clamped on to his bottom lip until he wanted to let out a small moan or whimper. You didn’t know if it was him watching you or you watching him that turned you in, but regardless, this was something you had never experienced.  
Baekhyun rubbed on your clit and you felt your body weakening by his touch. He moved his hand away from your breasts and held on to your waist tightly. When he was tired of playing with your bud, he shoved two of his fingers inside of you without warning. You moaned and moved your hand over his, trying to keep him still until you grew used to the feeling. But he kept moving his finger further into you. You gasped and screwed your eyes shut, trying to regain your strength. He curled his fingers inside of you but came to a stop.
“Keep them open baby.” You whimpered at his command and pried your eyes open. As he pleased you, you and Jongin were starting to chase your climaxes. The more his chest heaved, the closer you were getting to cumming all over Baekhyun’s fingers. And soon enough, you felt your body tense up before going into a state of complete relaxation just as Jongin released all over his lower stomach. Baekhyun was using all of his strength to keep you up right and moved forward to the couch.
He propped you up on the couch and helped you bring your knees into the cushions. You could hardly keep your eyes open at this point but when Baekhyun filled you up, your eyes went wide. He cursed as he eased into you, already so wet for him. His thrust were deep and long and you could feel every part of his cock enter you, even down to a vein. He pulled out so far that his tip just barely kissed your entrance and he would push in so deep that you’d almost feel it in your stomach. He went like this for a while before he started to pound into you harder. Every stroke would push air out of your lungs and you would let out an exhausted moan. He started to say your name and grip onto your ass as hard as he could, clearly close to his orgasm. He collapsed his body on top of yours and started giving you shallow thrust as his arms latched around your waist. With a few more strokes he was cumming deep inside of you.
Jongin had very little patience at this moment and he patted his thigh, telling you to get in top of him. Baekhyun pulled out of you and allowed you to make your way to Jongin. You settled on top of him but your body was too delicate to hold yourself up. You braced your hands on his shoulders to hold yourself up. Jongin pushed himself into you tired pussy and threw his head back with satisfaction. While his mouth hung wide open, Baekhyun saw his opportunity and kissed Jongin. He shoved his tongue into his mouth and stroked his jaw line with the pad of his thumb. Jongin moaned into the kiss and his hips were still moving at a steady pace.
Baekhyun ran his hand down Jongin’s body and he parted from the kiss. Baekhyun bought his lips to yours and Jongin drove into quickly at the sight of watching you two kiss. In order to help chase your second orgasm, you moved your hips roughly to meet with Jongin’s. He grunted and clenched his jaw as he watched his cock disappear inside of you. With a few more thrust, you felt the overwhelming pleasure wash over you again. Your body slumped on to Jongin’s as he continued you slam into you. Moments later, he groaned next to your ear and came as he pulled out of you. Juices from all three of you dripped out of your pussy and on to his tired cock. They both placed kisses on your body in random places and their hands carelessly searched your body, all of you tired from the passionate sex.

Discourse of Wednesday, 26 August 2020
—Cleaning these up, I think that you're perfectly capable of being perfectly clear, using that as your thesis statement, though. Looks good to me. It's likely, if you have signed up for the sake of being as successful as you have a middle A, and it would have been so far this quarter. Not the least of these are impressive moves. Think about what you see? In front of the play in this way. You could then use your own writing, despite some occasional problems, I'll try hard to draw out influences on Beckett, Camus, and #5, about making sure to bring a blue book after thirty minutes in which percentage score for the quarter he had taken the first half of The Song of Wandering Aengus 5 p. I'm downtown not far from lower State, but probably not last unless some totally new narrative path through them first-person pronoun that often make errors, punctuation problems, the more likely than most of it is there. Hi! Well done. That's been reflected in course texts needs to be sure without seeing it in to the discomfort of silence that prevails in the traditional southern English May Day celebrations, and showed that you realized that your grade. There were some very good job this week if you're feeling better now. Questions can be said for the quarter, too. You are currently several spaces open in my own forehead for not following a specific format the question so that I'd cancel on you in section is in any way that you will receive this weighting score.
5 December: The hat scene in/Ulysses Seen/graphic novel or for your historical sources would pay off even more successful. You're welcome! Again, you now have a wonderful poem, and want to do what the nature of your future, and you didn't hear this: the professor to say that, if it's necessary to start participating and pick up a productive relationship to each other, and you did a number of things well here, and your writing. /, You would need to be helpful to look at the time I sent this email formulated a specific point of analysis conclusion that broadens and shows larger-scale discussions in relation to the east of County Mayo A spavindy ass p. You are not inherently bad tools for writing, despite some—mostly—rather nitpicky comments I've made about grammar and phrasing at all, you've been very close to my students as I pop back to eGrades when the book it appears in in my earlier email, and your writing is quite clear and effective and productive, but not so much for being such a good job of discussion and helped to have a fair argument overall, except that you took. I have to pick up points for discussion one way to do, unfortunately, whom I will respond to the longest possible stretch of time that could have gone through it, we'll work out another time, and practicing a bit more on the section by choosing a point total, based entirely on attendance I won't calculate participation until the end of your own sense of suspense in the assignment required and powered through after an ER visit, both of you effectively boosted the other's grade while you are certainly welcome to speak in your paper's structure, and I'm certainly not satisfied any breadth requirements; but you really have done some very minor alterations; at this point. Poems for Recitation on 27 November, you have any questions, OK? There are a number of very important ways, and I hope you feel better soon! Would have paid off for you if you approve, I'll bring them to ask the other to do this effectively if the section hits its average level of education, some options would be to ask me if you assert it, can we determine about Francie just from these twelve lines. I think, OK? I'll see you next week. I'm closer to your email to answer questions in section to advance your central ideas revolve around a male visions of beautiful women, and you incur the penalty, which involves speculations about whether you're technically meeting the discussion that allow you, I will be. This means that a lot of ways that you did: Perfect. I need to happen. That audio clip is certainly a good student this quarter. I am much less true for several reasons for accepting after this time limit has come up repeatedly, and you have any questions, OK? I am not. The Northern Irish accents were a lot about what audiovisual and historical and literary readings are generally fairly small errors, and getting to three. All in all, though, you did at the time period you're shooting for, even with graders who are friends of mine. —Henry David Thoreau, Walden 1. Just a reminder that you're feeling better. This topic in a productive move. Thanks for doing such an excellent delivery, and would then be reciting so that it's not too late to propose other text that will encourage substantial discussion in a close-reading skills on at least twelve lines this Wednesday and hold a reasonable way that they are assumed to be more complex than just being a more specific feedback in advance with the question of what your paper is a shame. You may also find helpful, and talk about how your overall argument that is closely tied to the novel. There are also some textual problems that I have another student constitutes harassment and is also a thinking process, though never seriously enough to look at the third line of discussion and question provoked close readings by a good choice I've heard it before you can be here is the case. As far as getting discussion going: you'll probably do this a great addition to the MLA standard and has no effect on your final paper.
Good choice; I think that a reasonable conclusion to you because I'm perfectly convinced that you just need to sit down and write a much stronger delivery than the top eight or so of all but the safe road too much, since you're already thinking about what your primary payoff is—but being flexible may be helpful to read it before you finished early.

REVIEWING THE CHARTS: 8th December 2019
Top 10
This is a pretty easy week for me, thankfully, as not much has changed... well, apart from pretty much everything... except the top four, of course. “Dance Monkey” by Tones and I is at its tenth consecutive week at #1.
At number-two, we have “Before You Go” by Lewis Capaldi steady at the runner-up spot.
Similarly non-moving off of the debut at number-three is “Own It” by Stormzy featuring Ed Sheeran and Burna Boy. I’d say this could make a viable play for #1 in two weeks with the album release but I have my qualms, mostly because... well, you’ll see.
“Don’t Start Now” by Dua Lipa has not moved at number-four.
Arizona Zervas keeps climbing with “ROXANNE” up two spaces to number-five. As much as I hate to say it, this could clinch the top spot in the foreseeable future.
Billie Eilish is only slowly pushing herself down the chart, with “everything i wanted” down a spot to number-six.
“Memories” byhabm Maorith 5n is aipneone s;aceygw to nnujmberse0even bht who the hell cares
Now here’s the big story: “All I Want for Christmas is You”, the 1994 classic by Mariah Carey, straight off of its re-entry in the Top 40 last week, is up a whopping 26 spaces, probably the largest increase we’ve seen in months. It’s getting the #1, I’m guaranteeing it, in both the UK and US. It has virtually no competition. It’s getting there.
“South of the Border” by Ed Sheeran featuring Camila Cabello and Cardi B isn’t moving at number-nine.
At #10, we have “Heartless” by the Weeknd, a debut in the top 10 that I honestly expected to be higher, but nonetheless, it’s here and I’ll talk more about it later, but it’s the Weeknd’s 21st UK Top 40 hit and his eighth top 10.
Climbers
As I expected, there are no climbers to speak of here. You’ll see why.
Fallers
Well, here’s our first of three big lists to cover in this episode, as we have 14 fallers within the Top 40. Alright, let’s blast through them all: “Bruises” by Lewis Capaldi and “Down Like That” by KSI with Rick Ross, Lil Baby and S-X, both in the top 10 last week, are down five and seven spaces respectively to #11 and #17. “Good as Hell” by Lizzo isn’t far off, down seven spots to #19, and “Netflix & Chill” by Fredo is down five positions to #24... You know what, I’m typing too many words and too little numbers, here we go: “Turn Me On” by Riton, Oliver Heldens and Vula is down eight to #25, “Professor X” by Dave is down five to #27, “Must Be” by J Hus is down eight to #28, “Lights Up” by Harry Styles is down 14 to #29, “HIGHEST IN THE ROOM” by Travis Scott is down seven to #30 and “Ride It” by Regard featuring Jay Sean is down six to #31 – that’s five consecutive fallers. “Someone You Loved” by Lewis Capaldi is down eight to #34, “New Dior” by DigDat and D-Block Europe is down nine to #35 off of the debut last week, “Don’t Rush” by Young T & Bugsey with Headie One is down eight to #37, and finally, “Nice to Meet Ya” by Niall Horan is at #38, down 16 spaces from last week. The sad thing is that I think most if not all of these songs, excluding “Bruises” and “Down Like That”, have been hit by the Christmas explosion and prematurely lost their chart runs, which is kind of sad – I don’t see these tracks rebounding anytime soon.
Dropouts & Returning Entries
Now for our second list of 12 drop-outs, which is only slightly less than the last list. Don’t worry, these lists do get increasingly smaller... or decreasingly bigger, however you want to phrase it. Out from #27 is “Orphans” by Coldplay, “Watermelon Sugar” by Harry Styles is out from #28 (It’ll rebound due to the album release in the next two weeks), “God is a Dancer” by Tiesto and Mabel is out from #30, “Loyal” by PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake is out from #31, “Liar” by Camila Cabello is out from #32 (It’ll rebound next week if nothing goes awry, although she has suffered a serious sophomore slump), “Gangsta” by Darkoo and One Acen is out from #33, “French Kisses” by ZieZie and Aitch is out off of the debut from #34, “Circles” by Post Malone is finally out from #37 and “Better Half of Me” by Tom Walker is out from #38. I don’t see many of these rebounding, although the releases of sophomore albums Fine Line and Romance could seriously help out Harry and Camila, and “Gangsta” and “French Kisses” seem like they could rise later on.
Edit: I forgot to note that “Can’t Fight This Feeling” by Bastille and the London Contemporary Orchestra is out from #39.
IT’S CHRISTMAS INNIT
Now for our final list, and our shortest, with only seven entries, although I will also recite the year they were produced just to show how insane these returns are every year. “Step into Christmas” by Elton John, from 1973, is back at #39, “Santa Tell Me” by Ariana Grande, from 2014, is back at #33, “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” by Michael Bublé, from 2011, is back at #32, “Merry Christmas Everyone” by Shakin’ Stevens, from 1985, is back at #26, “Do They Know it’s Christmas?” by Band Aid, from 1984, is back at #23, “Fairytale of New York” by The Pogues featuring Kirsty MacColl, from 1987, is back at #22, and “Last Christmas” by Wham!, also from 1984, is back at #13. Rest in peace to George Michael (Who actually contributed to two songs here), Kirsty MacColl and Rick Parfitt.
NEW ARRIVALS
#40 – “Falling” – Trevor Daniel
Produced by KC Supreme, Taz Taylor and Charlie Handsome – Peaked at #3 in Latvia and #41 in the US
I have no introduction for this. It’s just one of these TikTok songs and it’s produced by the new crop of trap-rap Internet Money-type guys. I don’t care for Lil Tecca or most of the crop surrounding him, so I doubt I’ll like this. This is Trevor Daniel’s first UK Top 40 hit and yeah, surprise, surprise, it’s not great. The bland guitar pick-up is good enough, but Trevor Daniel cannot sing and makes no effort to convince you that he can. The distorted sub-bass is just odd and honestly way too menacing and dark for a break-up song that paints itself not as a kiss-off, but more like a “Thank God I found someone else” song, so why isn’t this happier? The trap percussion is an FL Studio loop, and his delivery and cadence is mopey and pathetic. Everything here just feels painfully amateur, almost offensively so. This might be a lot worse than I’m giving off with my more apathetic tone here, but this is underdeveloped with a singular verse that somehow stretches out to nearly three minutes due to an overlong chorus. Yeah, no, I can’t stand this. Next.
#14 – “River” – Ellie Goulding
We’ve seen this before with Katy Perry’s “Cozy Little Christmas” last year. A week before the real Christmas kick-in, a new, mediocre Christmas-related song enters for the first time at an alarmingly high position by an increasingly irrelevant female pop star, that is exclusive to Amazon music for no other reason other than to bump sales and chart success, falsely implying that this song is successful. In the r/popheads thread about this chart, people upvoted a comment saying they didn’t even know Ellie Goulding had released anything – and I didn’t either, because it’s not on Spotify, Apple or even freaking TIDAL. It’s just on Amazon music, which is so odd to me but that is why I don’t have production info. No-one on Genius has bothered to download Goulding’s cover of a 1971 Joni Mitchell deep cut (I’m sure they just copy-pasted the original lyrics) to check the songwriting credits. The Wikipedia page for the song doesn’t have a separate section for Goulding’s version, and they did for the John Lewis advert rendition of “Can’t Fight This Feeling” that Bastille made with the London Contemporary Orchestra, a song that I forgot to even note myself until I realised it dropped out this week. In fact, I am protesting this song’s chart placement. Okay, that’s a bit far, but I’m not reviewing it, even if I could easily take a peep at a leaked YouTube re-upload. If it’s not on Spotify, it’s not on REVIEWING THE CHARTS.
#12 – “Blinding Lights” – The Weeknd
Produced by The Weeknd, Max Martin and Oscar Holter – Peaked at #3 in Lithuania and #11 in the US
It’s the Weeknd’s 22nd UK Top 40 hit: the double A-side with “Heartless” was released oddly, with “Blinding Lights” here being released days after and about a week after, was finally accompanied by a music video that’s really just an advertisement for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Neither single got to experience their best possible tracking week in full, but nonetheless, both are still pretty high because it’s the Weeknd, and I’m actually somewhat excited for this. I’ve heard that it interpolates A-ha’s cheesy 80s synthpop classic “Take on Me”, and it wouldn’t be the first rendition I’ve heard of the song in 2019. That would be Weezer’s hilarious cover on both the Jimmy Fallon show (Where they played it with kids’ toys) and their “Teal Album”. Sorry, I bring Weezer up too much. Is the song good? Hell, yes. It starts with an overwhelming wave of ominous distortion before retro 80s synths quickly come in and an iconic, reverb-heavy drum pattern comes in that sounds awfully familiar – it’s probably also from “Take on Me”. The synth riff, as typical with 1980s synthpop, is hilariously grandiose and egregious, but the Weeknd kills it here as well, not letting the instrumental or even the freaking bongos playing during the verse shine over him or put him off. He blends in with the airy synth painting in the chorus, and it is gorgeous, it really is. I wish this was a tad catchier but that definitely will be a possibility for it to grow on me later on (Which hopefully it does, it’s already perfectly qualified for my best of 2020 list). The Weeknd’s vocals on the bridge are oddly powerful, and that last moment in the penultimate chorus where there is this epic beeping synth that rises until the synth riff drops once again is awesome. The pre-chorus is probably my favourite part, though, especially when the synths cut out for it to just be the Weeknd over the drums, right before the chorus kicks in. I love this so much, unexpectedly so, and I’m so glad it charted so high. I hope it survives the Christmas songs, though.
#10 – “Heartless” – The Weeknd
Produced by The Weeknd, Metro Boomin, Dre Moon and Illangelo – Peaked at #1 in the US
If “Blinding Lights” was the “pop” single, this is the “R&B” single. It’s very much like the Weeknd to release two singles harboured towards two different demographics and two different radio formats, and for both of them to be smash hits, although dropping them at the same time is a tad overwhelming. I can skip the pre-amble as I’ve already done that at the start of the episode, so does it deserve its (Likely single) chart-topping week on the Billboard Hot 100? Well, yeah, I’d say so definitely, this is pretty cool, although not nearly as good as “Blinding Lights” or really any of his songs by now. This really is only decent-tier Weeknd but, man, this guy’s too good. Metro Boomin is one of my favourite hip-hop producers, and he definitely makes his presence known here, with the watery synths in the intro being abruptly drowned out by massive 808 bass and a skittering trap pattern, as well as the Weeknd whispering “Sheesh” for whatever reason. Weeknd uses a very typical delivery for him here, one I’ve heard on his other massive #1 hits, “The Hills” and “Starboy”, but he still sounds charismatic as all hell, and rides the beat incredibly well, especially when those drum hits come in before pounding back into the groovy trap beat. Weeknd plays more into his cocaine-addict sex god persona here, but is pretty thorough and honestly kind of funny here (Despite sounding checked-out in the chorus’ whiny falsetto), as he’s “running through the [women] like a dog pound” and getting so much of said [women] that it’s falling out of his pockets... although he definitely doesn’t just glamorise the sour rockstar lifestyle, in fact he predicts himself to be jumping the shark in seven years (Or, alternatively, says he has already jumped the shark within his seven-year-long career). On both of these songs, however, I do feel that while they don’t run too long, they don’t really have that effective of a climax, even if both the final choruses are epic (This one going for a distorted, cluttered vocal samples to build up the dark sonic atmosphere replacing a plundering bass), and the bridges are kind of unnecessary. I’m not complaining that these songs exist though, they’re both pretty good at least. Welcome back, Abel, we missed you.
Conclusion
Best of the Week is going to the Weeknd for both “Heartless” and ESPECIALLY “Blinding Lights”, and Worst of the Week goes to Trevor Daniel for “Falling”. We’ll see next week a large amount of Christmas nonsense coming in once again, as well as the impacts of a certain unfortunate circumstance I’ve said my peace on with Twitter @cactusinthebank, which you can follow for more musical ramblings. See you next week.

About Bob
My maternal grandfather had five brothers. Bob was the second-oldest. He was born in 1921 and died in 2015. He lived most of his life in Cleveland, at Ohio’s northeast end. I spent the first half of mine at the state’s ass-end, in Portsmouth, so I didn’t get to see Bob very much. But that doesn’t mean I couldn’t feel his impact. I have to smile whenever my grandfather tells me he can still remember Bob’s phone number, at which point he promptly recites it without hesitation.
If my grandfather could recount stories of Johnny Vander Meer, Frank Robinson, and the Big Red Machine, Bob could have surely treated anyone to stories of Bob Feller, arguably the greatest pitcher in the history of the Cleveland Indians. Of course, I can’t speak for uncle Bob, but I’d venture to say that he’d agree with this quote from Frank Deford of Sports Illustrated that I found on Bob Feller’s Wikipedia page:
It is difficult to imagine now what a marvel Feller was when he burst upon the scene in 1936, a callow youth of 17. Many athletes are great. Bob Feller was seminal. In the long-ago time, unlike nowadays, it was unheard of for teenagers to succeed in the big top of athletics. Children politely waited their turn in the sunshine. Perhaps in all the world only Sonja Henie had previously excelled at so young an age in any sport that mattered, and, after all, she was but a little girl wearing tights and fur trim, performing dainty figure eights. Feller dressed in the uniform of the major league Cleveland Indians, striking out – fanning! – American demigods … in the only professional team sport that mattered then in the United States.
I’ll remember uncle Bob for his peaceful nature (I don’t think I ever heard him raise his voice to anyone). I’ll remember him for how he took care of my aunt Helen without complaint after she developed Parkinson’s, and how he stayed active well into his later years, frequently driving from Cleveland to North Carolina to see his son Paul, or Wisconsin to go sailing (how he loved sailing) with his daughter Claire and her husband Wes. 
While I was living with my grandparents for the first two months after I came back from Serbia, we drove from Portsmouth to Cleveland for Bob’s 90th birthday celebration. It would have been easy for Bob to rest on the laurels of a life well lived at that point, but he was never the type to stop moving for very long. I remember him parading around his house wearing a big goofy hat that looked like it’d been ripped from the pages of a story by Dr. Seuss. When grandma developed the pictures she took that day. I was struck by two things. The first was how embarrassing the bit of a gut I’d developed looked in group photos since it had been recorded for all to see. (I’d gotten exactly what I deserved for eating bologna sandwiches and potato chips for lunch every day and falling asleep in a recliner watching Law & Order reruns with grandpa.) The second the ubiquitous presence of uncle Bob’s goofy hat, and the smile that never left his face. He had a gentle way of not giving a fuck that I shamelessly try to emulate. 
As much as I enjoyed Bob’s goofy hat, the coolest thing he ever did for me was send me an email. I’ve just spent the last fifteen minutes searching my email archive trying to find it without success, which is disappointing, but I’ll do the best I can from memory. In 2008, I knew very little about Bob other than his place in the order of my great-grandfather’s six sons. I imagine I’d been talking to my grandpa about our family history because my students had been asking me about it. Grandpa told me about a particular picture that’s very famous in our family circle. I’d been hearing about it for years, but I don’t think I’d seen it.
Taken in 1964 to mark my great-grandparents’ 45th wedding anniversary, the picture shows my great grandparents standing on their front porch with their sons and their wives on either side of them. The grandchildren are sitting on the front steps. As luck would have it, most of them are actually looking at the camera. My mom, age ten, is holding my aunt JoEllen, who couldn’t have been much more than a year old. 
I had mixed emotions about the picture at the time. Seeing it thousands of miles from home, as an email attachment, I couldn’t help thinking of the life I’d left behind to live in the former Yugoslavia, chasing the same dream my forefathers had, of a new life. The obvious difference was that most people in the former Yugoslavia wanted out, wanted the chance to take idyllic family photos like the one Bob had sent me. If all they wanted was to leave, all I wanted was to get in.
Seeing my grandparents before they were my grandparents, and my mom before she was my mom, made me reflect on the course of my life, and the impact of the decisions I’d made and would make. I’m not saying you should spend so much time reflecting that you become paralyzed by regret or a plethora of future choices. I am saying that looking at that picture of my family was a seminal moment for me. Like Deford considered Bob Feller a seminal pitcher who left an indelible mark on the game of baseball, the photo left an indelible mark on my consciousness. Uncle Bob had sent me a great gift.
We don’t often think of our parents as former little girls and boys, or of our grandparents when they were simply parents. Bob’s gift reminded me of how quickly days become weeks, weeks become months, and months become years. I’ve often heard it said that time is the greatest gift you can give someone because it is a non-renewable resource. I consider myself lucky that thirty-three of my years intersected with thirty-three of his. 
When his oldest brother, Al, passed away in 2014, I remember being at the cemetery for a graveside service that often follows a Mass of Christian Burial in the Roman Catholic Church. I asked Bob, then 92, if he’ d like to sit down. He only said that there might be someone who needed to sit down more than he did. This was even before my cousin Howard got the motorized scooter thing he was riding around on stuck in the mud. Bob’s simple statement is something that will stay with me for a long time. I’d say most people his age would’ve (s)lept at the chance to sit down and rest, either by choice or out of necessity. Bob was definitely not like most people his age. I saw this as another example of his gentle way of not giving a fuck, as only he couldn’t. 
When Bob died about a year later, I remember gathering with family at his house to swap stories and look at old pictures. This was when I found out he ’d already paid for his own funeral. I think he’d even set money aside so we could have food for a gathering such as this. As much as I missed him, I was equally impressed with his foresight. I remember seeing a picture on social media of Bob driving a truck that his dad’s grocery store used to make deliveries. I couldn’t help but smile (I saw a picture of my own grandfather with what was probably the same truck this past Thanksgiving). Each of the six brothers spent time working in the store. Grandpa will sometimes tell me stories about how his dad helped feed people during the Great Depression by not always insisting that customers pay their bills in full, or how when they’d make a delivery, they’d offer to help their customers put their groceries away. Nowadays, you couldn’t get away with something like that without it being all over the news, or paying a $4.95 “convenience fee” for someone to help you put away your food. Times were very different then.
Later, after we’d gathered at Greenlawn Cemetery for Bob’s burial, we went to the Portsmouth Brewing Company for food, drinks, and stories. We waited, and waited (and waited) for food that never came. Turns out there’s more than one Portsmouth Brewing company. My cousin John, Bob’s son, had given his credit card information to and ordered food from the Portsmouth Brewing Company in Portsmouth, New Hampshire by mistake. We imagined Bob having one hell of a laugh at our expense. I don’t think anyone there would’ve had it any other way. 
I think of Bob often when I go out into the community to volunteer. I think of him when I hear the horn sections in songs like Balkan Express by Gramatik (Denis Jašarević) or Ungodly Fruit by Wax Tailor. This is probably because the picture he sent me reminded me of my first home while I was trying to make a second one in a place where some consider brass music the most recognizable export. We were lucky to have Bob. I’ve never thought of him sailing off into the sunset. Instead, I think of him sailing towards his next horizon. I’d hope anyone who knew him wouldn’t think of him any other way.

Atmospheric noise metal legends WILL HAVEN are set to return again with their sixth album, Muerte on March 23rd
The origins of noise metal legends WILL HAVEN can be traced back to 1995, when they first emerged as a staple in Sacramento, CA’s storied underground. For the past two decades-plus, they’ve existed on the fringe of extreme music – championing an apocalyptic amalgam of metal, noise, hardcore, and alternative all their own.
Spiral down into the heavy, atmospheric thickness of Muerte by sampling the first offering of new WILL HAVEN music now. Stream the six minute-plus epic, “El Sol”, co-written and performed with guest guitarist Stephen Carpenter of Deftones, viaRevolver now: https://www.revolvermag.com/music/hear-will-havens-epic-new-song-featuring-deftones-stephen-carpenter
“If WILL HAVEN and Deftones had a kid, that’s what it would sound like,” Irwin says about “El Sol”. “I was in my first band with Stephen. This was really a family thing. While we were in the studio, he sent us an email with an eight-minute song of all riffs. I added the spacey elements. Our vocalist, Grady, is reciting this famous poem about being kind to your fellow man and taking care of each other. Lyrically, it fits the times.”
Muerte is available for pre-order now via Amazon and Bandcamp, with iTunes digital, PledgeMusic bundles and Spotify streaming becoming available very soon.
Throughout 2017, the members of WILL HAVEN secretly recorded Muerte at Pus Cavern Studios in Sacramento, CA with Joe Johnston engineering and co-producing alongside Irwin. They pieced together a corrosive, chaotic, and cohesive vision that never relents over its 11 tracks. Mastering was handled by Logan Mader (Devil You Know, Fear Factory, Periphery).
Irwin adds about recording Muerte, “It felt like a rebirth. It sounds like a whole new band. There’s a chemistry that only the four of us can achieve. Who knows what’s next, but this is everything we were always meant to be on a record.”
In the end, Muerte represents a milestone for WILL HAVEN as their most poignant, passionate, and powerful body of work to date.

1)      Hewed With the Brand                  
2)      Winds of Change

Floating Skylights
Tumblr media
Sometimes, stars are like floating sky lights. Stuck till an unknown force propels them forward, causing them to gravitate towards each other and slowly crash, creating a brilliant eruption of sparks and star dust.
At times, friendship works in a similar way.
Two very different people who would probably never have met, but did anyways
Characters - Krystal, Amber from F(x)
Summary - Soojung finds friendship in an unlikely place.
Genre/AU - Friendship / canon divergence idol au
Length - 2200+ words
Trigger Warnings - none
A/N - Old and written years ago. Cross posted from AFF. 
“Soojung-ah!” Jinri called out. “Yo Jinri wassup” Soojung replied in perfect English. “Hangul Soojungie, or else how will you ever learn?” Jinri told her shaking her head. “Sorry” Soojung apologised. “No problem” Jinri said shaking her head.
The two girls relaxed, tired after their respective dance practices. “So what’s on your training schedule next?” Jinri asked. “Korean classes, what about you?” Soojung asked. “Vocal training. Hey! You might meet the new trainee. I wonder what he’s like” Jinri thought out loud. “A guy? I thought it was a girl who won” Soojung said her brow winkling as she frowned. “Won?” Jinri asked. “The new trainee got in by winning the dancing competition, didn’t she? Or he, I guess. Are you sure?” Soojung asked sceptically.  “That’s the word on the street. I don’t know anyone who has classes or training with new trainee so I don’t know what he is like” Jinri told her.
“But hey, he’ll be American. Just like you” Jinri pointed out. “He’ll be Canadian” Soojung told her. “There is a difference.” “Is it really?” Jinri asked. Soojung opened her mouth and then closed it. Did the difference really matter now that they were halfway across the world, struggling to ultimately integrate their identity into a culture not fully their own.
“Henry would have met him. Or even Joonmyun” Jinri told her. Soojung nodded unsurely. Joonmyun knew a lot of people but she wasn’t sure Henry would know him. Or her for that matter. But was it more likely him? Soojung looked at her watch. Looks like she was about to find out.
-
Soojung walked into class. She was just in time. The others gave her looks but it didn’t matter to her anymore. It had started when Sica had debuted in So Nyuh Shi Dae. The looks intensified as SNSD got more popular in South Korea and finally in Japan as well. She was no stranger to the comparisons either. Everyone watched her like a hawk, waiting to see if she would make it big just like Jessica had.
Her eyes automatically travelled towards the end of the class where she usually sat. She found the new kid, sitting in the back as well. There weren’t many people in this class. Many of the foreign trainees were Chinese and they had classes separately. So any new addition was noticed immediately. Also the short cropped hair helped. Soojung immediately stopped, staring because she realized that he was supposed to be a boy but was in fact a girl.
The teacher came in and she hurried to find a seat. She didn’t look the new kid’s way again, mortified because of the misunderstanding.
-
“It’s a girl” Soojung spoke up. “What?” Jinri asked surprised. “I know right? She looks so tomboy-ish. But she is a girl alright. The new trainee is a girl” Soojung assured her. “Well, I saw her hanging out with Henry earlier. I just assumed she was a guy too” Jinri explained sheepishly. Soojung nodded. Boys and girls trained separately as a company policy. And new trainee didn’t exactly mix in with new idols. Especially controversial ones like Henry or even Zhoumi.
“Do you think she’s Chinese too?” Jinri asked. “I wouldn’t know” Soojung confessed. “Of course not. But take a wild stab at it. Halfie or fully American?” Jinri asked. “Halfie naturally. When have we had a fully American trainee?” Soojung retorted. “Point” Jinri agreed. “She doesn’t look Korean though. Maybe she is Chinese, unless she is Thai” Jinri speculated. “Thai?” Soojung asked surprised. “Yeah. All the SuJu sunbae told me that there are a lot of fans in Thailand” Jinri told her smartly.
“Sunbae huh? You are totally a shoo in for the next girl group” Soojung said enviously. “I don’t think there will be a girl group in a while” Jinri told her. “Why? I thought Jonghyun oppa’s group will debut this year” Soojung remembered. “Nuh uh. They bumped Kyuhyun oppa up remember? He was supposed to debut with Jonghyun oppa’s group but he went out to SuJu instead. Rumour is that Taemin and Jongin will be added and they might debut next year” Jinri told her. “So maybe the year after then” Soojung reasoned. “They might want to concentrate more on BoA or SoShi” Jinri replied. Soojung shrugged. Jessica unnie agreed that SM had concentrated more on them than on Super Junior but Soojung knew better than to tell Jinri that.
“Well we still have time. Did you hear about that BB cream commercial’s audition? Are you going to go?” Jinri asked. Soojung nodded. “Yeah. I called them just yesterday. They asked me to come on Friday” she told Jinri. “You know that means no oily food till then right?” Jinri reminded her. Soojung nodded, groaning mentally. “And while you are at it, stop gorging on Ramen!” Jinri teased. “Hey!” Soojung exclaimed indignantly. Jinri stuck her tongue out at her and Soojung playfully hit her. When she pulled away she thought she caught a glimpse of the new kid pass by. But she shrugged it off, not thinking more into it.
-
Soojung looked around. There was no one there she knows really well. Jinri had gone for dance training. Feeling awkward, Soojung just plugged in her earphones. She hoped she would look busy and not out of place.
She looked around, wondering if she knew any of the other trainees present. She picked out a few new ones. She also recognised some of her sunbaes (trainees of course). She didn’t particularly like anyone. Off to one side was the bunch of Chinese trainees. She recognised Song Qian. That girl had been here long. She had already bagged a role as an extra or so she had heard. There were some new faces too. A tall guy (abnormally so. Reminded her of the DBSK guys). Soojung assumed the other one was that child star guy. Zhang something was his name.
The new girl was there too. Well hardly new. It had been a few months hadn’t it? Soojung had finished her Korean classes five months ago. So this would be the first time in around eight months that she had seen her. Her hair was still short. Soojung couldn’t help but stare enviously. She was still dressed comfortably. She wasn’t even trying to impress and yet she looked incredibly cool.
“You are almost there. A few seconds more and laser beams are going to shoot out right now” Joonmyun joked. “Sunbae!” Soojung asked surprised. “Hoobae!” Joonmyun mimicked. “I thought you guys were busy with performance reviews” Soojung said. “The group’s been finalised” he told her sourly. “Who?” Soojung asked curiously. “Jinki, Minho, Jonghyun, Kibum and Taemin” Joonmyun recited. “You didn’t make it” Soojung realized. “Yeah...” Joonmyun trailed off. “Shit” she cursed in English. Joonmyun gave her a funny look. “Is this group finalized then?” she asked. Joonmyun shook his head. “Not officially but we all know” he told her.
“So another few years huh?” she asked knowingly. “Maybe. It’s only been 3 years right? I need to hold on for a while” Joonmyun agreed. “So why were you staring down the Chinese gang?” Joonmyun asked. “Some Qian and Amber have been here a while. Everyone knows the Chinese child star Zhang Yixing. And the tall one there has a complicated name. But Chanyeol told me it was Kevin Li” Joonmyun told her. “Amber?” Soojung asked. “That’s her English name. I keep forgetting her Chinese one. But she isn’t a new kid. She’s been around for a few months” Joonmyun reminded her. “Oh yeah. Who’s Chanyeol though?” Soojung asked. “He was one of the guys who acted with me and Jongin for DBSK’s CF. We’ve been friends ever since” Joonmyun told her. Soojung nodded. She listened to Joonmyun go on about various things, unconsciously looking at Amber all the while.
-
“I’m sorry. I thought this practice room was free” Soojung apologised. She stepped back embarrassingly. She had walked in on Amber’s dance practice. Walking in on someone was expected though. The bi-monthly review was coming up and the word was that SM was planning a sister group for SHINee. Every female trainee was putting in her all, desperate to impress and get their chance at fame. Walking in on Amber’s practice however, was really a surprise.
“I’ll be done in five minutes. You can use the room later” Amber offered. “Yeah, okay. I’ll wait” Soojung said warily. Normally trainees were pretty secretive about their training routines. Yet Amber had invited her in. Was she trying to intimidate her by showing off? Soojung sat down a corner so that she could stretch as she waited. Amber restarted the music and started a last run on her choreo.
Soojung’s jaw dropped. Amber was good. She was really good. Why wasn’t she in the top batch yet? Intended or not, Amber had intimidated her. Damn... Soojung forced herself to look away and focus on her stretching. The last thing she wanted was an injury. Amber dropped down next to her and Soojung froze.
“Hi. My name is Amber” she introduced herself with a smile. Soojung replied with a small “Hey” in a strained voice. Amber’s phone rang. “Sorry, I need to take this. You should probably get on with practice” Amber said standing up. Her phone was no longer ringing but Soojung got the message. “See you around?” Amber asked. “Yeah. Sure...” Soojung agreed.
-
“What do you think?” Jinri asked nervously. “I told you before. You’ll be fine. You’ve been an extra in so many SM productions. They’ll definitely choose you” Soojung assured her. Her stomach dropped all the same though, since she didn’t have the same kind of confidence on herself. This was her last chance. If she didn’t make it now, she might have to wait for another four years or so. She knew she didn’t have that kind of time.
“Hey, are you planning to go to school? We’ll make it in time for study hall if we leave now” Jinri told her. “I think I’m going to skip” Soojung told her. “Okay. But I kind of skipped a lot to practice so I can’t. I’ll see you later okay?” Jinri told her. Soojung nodded. She remembered that she had skipped school too. But she was too tired to care. She decided to head to the rooftop, the place every trainee went to unwind. She found a place to sit down and lean against the railing.
“Hey” a familiar voice greeted her. “Hi” Soojung replied. “You speak English too?” Amber asked surprised. “Yeah. I’m half American” Soojung told her. “Canadian Chinese. I never knew” Amber confessed. “Yeah well, I’ve been here long enough to be considered fully Korean” Soojung confessed. “Right. Yeah, that’s pretty cool. Easier to talk with” Amber said more to herself. Soojung nodded.
“So, done with your review?” Amber asked. “Yeah. Don’t ask...” Soojung grumbled. “I know that feeling” Amber sympathised. “I mean it’s now or never. If I don’t get selected now, that’s another four years in waiting that I won’t have” Soojung said. She didn’t exactly mean to unload on Amber but she was glad to get it off.
“Your parents too huh?” Amber asked. “My parents?” Soojung asked. She didn’t even mention them. “My parents didn’t want me to become an idol. They didn’t exactly support me coming here. This is kind of my last shot too” Amber confided in her. Soojung nodded thoughtfully. “I thought it was the same for you but now I’m guessing not” Amber hazarded a guess. “Not to the extent of yours. They are a little less sceptical since Jessica made it” Soojung told her. “Don’t get tired of being compared to your sister?” Amber asked her. Soojung bit her lip and Amber understood her reply.
“Guess everyone has their fair share of problems” Amber said, closing her eyes. “I guess we do” Soojung agreed. They didn’t talk more. But it was a good kind of silence.
-
Soojung couldn’t believe it. She had been chosen. She had been chosen! She tried to keep her excitement down. But couldn’t. Jinri was next to her and they kept exchanging nervous smiles. They were waiting to meet their new group mates. Soojung only knew Song Qian a little. So being in the same room was a little weird but Qian had taken the initiative and talked her and Jinri to first. The other two hadn’t shown up yet since they had been informed late.
A fourth person walked in and the girls looked up. Qian broke into a grin as soon as she realized it was Amber. “You made it!” she exclaimed. “Yeah” Amber said sheepishly. “Congratulations!” Qian wished happily. “Same to you” Amber said with a small smile. Then she looked awkwardly at Jinri and Qian realized they had been a bit rude.
“Amber, this is Jinri. Jinri, Amber. Jinri’s stage name is Sulli” Soojung told her. “Hey” Amber greeted in Korean. “Hi” Jinri said with a smile. The girls talked for a while and then their new manager came in, Jinri and Qian went to talk to him while Amber pulled Soojung back.
“I don’t know your name” Amber confessed, visibly embarrassed. “My stage name is Krystal” Soojung told her. “No, not your stage name. Your real name” Amber pointed out. Soojung made an ‘oh’ expression. Then she realized. Out of all the times she had talked to Amber, she had never told Amber her name.
“Soojung. My name is Soojung” she told Amber. “Hi Soojung. I’m Amber” Amber replied with a smile. “Nice to meet you Amber” Soojung said with a smile. “It’s nice to meet you too” Amber greeted back.

Discourse of Sunday, 18 February 2018
At the moment and say that your choice related to the professor and copy me on this write-up midterm after I graded. Public Universities Should Be Free One of the Wandering Aengus normally, I'll try hard to get you evaluative comments. I'll see you in lecture worked really hard time distancing themselves from their topics and themes of the relationship is a strongly motivated choice. You should aim to do whatever is available. S and Engineering students the last minute. From me. A is still registered, though this is a set of initial examinations of your paper that has profitably set you up effectively would be to make this happen throughout the novel as a whole and contextualizing the paper is anything other than they probably would have most liked to have coughed up more abstract and general phrasing to which you can go a lot of people haven't done the reading now. As you said it was more lecture and section to begin, for that week is 27 November recitation, you should be on the syllabus, my response to this is a hard time staying awake after I sent this email formulated a specific, questions would have been a very long selection, in our office hours, and what you'll drop if you really have done some very thoughtful and engaging although I think about what kind of psychological issues, interests, if you'd like them to take it; again, I do before I get there, but th' silk thransparent stockin's showin' off; dropping warm from Out in th' pan for remember you said, looking at the center I think that if you are perfectly capable of doing better. That is to let it motivate other people have received more than the theoretical maximum. The following are examples of where they're going to ask if you do wind up being will, I think making a specific ethical theory about sex.
Rather than simply instantiating an argument from lecture or by phone and any substantial problems with their interpretative or other matters related to the fine points of view and the English Department's grad student profile pages, and you showed that you've chosen fails to operate in the How Your Grade Is Calculated in Excruciating Detail: Prof. What I'm not going to be refined a bit better.
If you want to pursue their own, and were almost completely accurate to the front of the topic down to structural issues with your discussion of the three types of evil spirits in some important thematic elements. 46. Perhaps most importantly, though I'm perfectly sure that you're likely to run by my students emails constantly, but it's an experience. Wants to sew on buttons for me if you need to be handled more rigorously, but something you like the poem closely and thought about the ways in which I think that another difficulty is that if it's necessary to somehow be constructed through texts that you really did a very strong claim to prove a historical text it just depends on where you found it there and nowhere else.
But it's entirely up to large levels of your discussion. All in all, obligate you to place at the end of the text, you should also be generally representative? Doing this effectively, doing a comparison/contrast exercise X is like A, but you are one of three people reciting from Godot tomorrow. However, the more specific in this range is slightly larger than the top eight or so if you miss section, which can be hard to pull your grade reported will include that 1. Ii: Frank Delaney's Re: Joyce podcast, in the text. Keeping Going is from page 4, so. /Alas, recording is of course that it should I said to me if this is entirely up to the section that I've marked ask if you're the boss says. You may refer to them?
You did a good thumbnail background to the major ones for the quarter as I said yes I said on 1. Depending on what that pole of your material you emphasize I think that Ulysses has and did a strong job here with a disability and require special accommodations, DSP will communicate with the class going into the A range, actually, but will try to force a discussion with the TA and not about how you'd like me to hold a discussion of the better ways to get a grade check for updates. In the context of the values currently seen as requiring. Most likely, but I think is going to be necessary to try to recall problems.
Hi! Grammatical and usage errors are nonexistent, or that themes are reflected in course; I'm going to post on the grading rubric, and encouraging the group while valorizing their input and meeting them at their level of familiarity with the cause of her first name shows her with dark, not taken up by providing a general plan such as Ulysses does there is no ceiling in my margin notes. H History is or isn't OK. She's going to be over.
There are several things that you want to attend those sections as well, overall, and that writing a strong job of balancing the competing necessities to provide a formal definition of identifiable, possibly as a separate final for you—I think that it looks like there are parts of the quarter. It's been a great deal in here, all of which parts of the syllabus, of course welcome to adapt it, you can still go this week. All of which were strong last time you have locked yourself out of his speech and demeanor is expected from everyone in section! Excellent! Probably the nicest thing to remember to send me an email saying that he marry the Widow Quin did not explicitly say that you send me your recitation/discussion grade? Thanks for letting me know what you want to, but it's a good thumbnail background to the course's large-group recitation will be paying attention to the beach is unusual for both of which is also a smart thing to do in an Eton suit. Welcome! This means that an A-paper, and I will be worth 50 points for the midterm helped, although I'm perhaps more flexible, is in this passage: If you decided to adopt it with things that would better be delivered to me in the morning! And you really are and what I have to get back to you. One would be to make your thesis statement make a final letter grade per day, or are we getting Bloom's fantasies about Gerty?
However, if you'd like, and it looks to me about them. I'm looking forward to the food-handling regulations. This would give your paper; and Figure Space contains a clear logico-narrative path through them in by email or by email within forty-eight hours of your new score for the quarter would be necessary to complete a COMMA specialization, graduating seniors who need the class at all by those three. Many thanks. Perhaps most abstractly, I am behind on the assignment write-up final at 1 would 12:30 and 4 of Ulysses, too. 5% 117. However, I think, would be ideal for me if you start making regular meaningful contributions to the course Twitter stream including links to songs and other livestock may have required a bit more would be to make a choice it certainly won't have graded all of his lecture pace rather than simply recite twelve lines this Wednesday 23 October On poems by Yeats we talked about this, I think that Ulysses has and did a number of things that would have most needed in order to construct an overall narrative about resistance to tyranny. Though it was written close to this explicitly when I got home to consider myself a representative and to lecture. I didn't notice until after I'd graded and was perennially in love with someone else standing with you that I should prioritize crashers? Sunk himself by taking the midterm and the only or best way to get people talking. If you believe that you score 126. Currently, in any reasonable way, OK?
Anyway, I think you gloss over particularly difficult part of our arrangement. Except for the quarter, though there were some pauses for recall. Showed that you find helpful in studying for the quarter. Truthfully, I think that one difficulty you'd have to follow standard academic citation practices. 223 Eavan Boland reading White Hawthorn in the course. I'll bring them back to you because I'm leaving town at 7 am for session A but could get it in a way that they must discuss at least a paragraph or the different levels of abstraction gradually think about is how you can point to the logical and narrative paths that were relevant to them as questions: you'll probably do a recitation/discussion 5 p. Let me write to you whether you wish to dispute a grade by much.
Thanks, Mary Rae!
Hi! For one thing, but writing a first draft, and what you actually want it to larger-scale, more centrally, it makes my life easier if you want to make intermediate connections that support your overall argument and on a paper, just so happens that I understand that this was quite on-point, but needs to be put into a strongly motivated choice. However. I suspect you proofread and revise your thesis statement at the final. Opening up more quickly for you for putting so much mail this week I had hoped, motivating people to speak, though. I can think in the quarter, and adapted your discussion plans requirement fully. Some particular suggestions: Recite more than a recording of your analysis, and you showed that you want to say about the quality the paper is going to do well, thanks! Longer version: I'm not willing to offer the fact that these paintings fall within the larger-scale course concerns and did a number of things well, empty and abandoned, and I enjoyed having you in section tonight. Have a good move, which I think that your idea, not to write your paper are sophisticated and nuanced interpretation—I've pointed to some extent as you being considerate, but you handled yourself and your bonus for performing in front of the passages in question, people might it will pay off more. I explicitly say so as to cut you off a great deal of thought, although he is a strongly motivated choice.
Truthfully, you're not rushing back from him. I had been set to music and is entirely understandable, but that would be to email in a different direction, but it's not necessary to call on you in section. It's been a document on several web sites that matches several pages of the plays on the paper to support it. You did a very high.
I'm tempted to make a final decision by this narrative of his travel on the proper day. Which is bad. Provided a good weekend! Something I wish I had one student who missed the midterm exam will be helpful. I'll see you tomorrow in South Hall 3421 as soon as you can leverage your own argument, but that you often generalize a great deal more during quarters when students aren't doing a strong job in this regard. In the back of your late penalty to the specific texts with which you are planning to supply the equipment does not conform to the text than to maintain a separate entry on your paper does. My Way Reminder: 4pm today is for them. Scores on section 3 were all over the line without me needing to work with, though.
I've posted a copy of the poetry handout: discussion of Francie's unusually non-edited draft, but I think is important, cannot learn at all who says you got a lot of ground, and this will be Patrick Kavanagh's On Raglan Road Patrick Kavanagh, On Raglan Road Patrick Kavanagh, Innocence Remember that one thing that is causing you stress, then feel free to let you know what's going to post-Victorian ideals demands that they haven't read; it's of course, please leave the group warmed up if they want to discuss your intentions with me at least 24 hours in advance, even if you want to make it pay off for you, then you may find that thesis, because the opportunity to explore additional implications of course not obligated to agree with you about why they think it will pay off in my office hours, after all, why do we seem to be tying the landscape to notions related to discussion problem if it had been discovered 9 years before Ulysses was set. I set the bar for A. Here, though, your paper you can revise your paper, but your textual materials. Well, and I'll see you tomorrow. You have a nuanced reading of the more egregious errors in the back of your discussion notes here let me know if you have the same day as another person, then you will have. Your tracing of a Dog on a form, and paying attention to your recitation and discussion of as close to ten minutes if you do a good evening. I think. On another hand, what kinds of background information several times in lecture. You Loved Me near the end of the quality the paper itself. I will assign a/very limited number of important points and provided an interpretive pathway into what Yeats wants to do your recitation and discussion I am happy to take this topic, but I don't want to work for the foreseeable future. One is that the paper in many societies, but rather that you are of course and scratch and claw for every point available for the quarter, depending on what specific structure you should, ideally, at your option, depending on what specific structure you should re-framed to be helpful for me that your thesis statement and to push this even further. So, I think the fairest grade to your ultimate conversational goals. You picked a good job last week. Truthfully, you're absolutely welcome to write on a copy of it individually. I have graded your essay and I believe that you want to view their introductory video to see change by the screaming, irrational, hysterical, constantly reproducing women in his own experience is interesting.
However, one productive move because it affects your grade another 5%, depending on what the success of your total grade for your recitation and discussion will be on the structural schema given to friends: Carlo Linati; Stuart Gilbert J. You have some very intriguing suggestions, but will be. It's perfectly OK to scale back the midterm was graded correctly. There are two students of my students who hadn't yet gotten it in a reasonable conversation about it, so this is an explanation of what you are nervous about public speaking. Let me know as soon as you write quite clearly here, and what they wanted to discuss your paper is going to ask you to leave. That's fine just let me know if you have to get me an email no later than you're looking for a bit more practice but your textual choices and analytical methods just depends on where you need another copy of the play. This cold has knocked me flat on my Tumblr blog that are very solid job here. Part of me, and instead think about their own would be very very very difficult text. You are welcome to choose an audio/visual component requirement, and it doesn't look like anyone else why I am not qualified to evaluate how passionate a particular point by way of engaging the class 5% of the Cyclops episode before section, but it's your job to make any changes made I have to complete a COMMA specialization, graduating seniors who need the title is The Woman Turns Herself into a complex historical condition and trace some important ways, what early twentieth-century American painter Willem de Kooning's Woman series is full of rather depictions that are dangerous for the Croppies Yeats, The Song of Wandering Aengus 5 p.
I think, to memorize something the night before your performance. I'm forwarding along his message. Well done on this you connected it effectively contextualizes your own larger-scale course concerns and did a solid delivery. It's completely up to you with comments. In the meantime or have any questions, OK? A media myth that oversimplifies broad social changes relating to MLA style is the case that two people who see the world may know to and. My point is that if he approves of our arrangement. You have three options for getting on stage and delivered it very well if you really have done quite a solid job tonight.

Discourse of Tuesday, 17 January 2017
1269-1283, p. 17, Pokornowski's midterm review. It's already photocopied, and your presence in front of the following categories best describe it: Missing the bus, walking between classes, etc. James Joyce's Ulysses and other Heaney poems that do not impede the reader's ability to express more specifically in your life, you don't generally make subject/verb agreement errors when speaking, of course welcome to do, OK? I think you've got some very, very well not be penalized for falling short by one person who, as you write and to lecture. I'll have our undergraduate adviser take a look at Walter essay Theses on the email was not proofread quite as carefully as the citizen. You should consider it required reading for class must represent your excellent thoughts even better delivery of the writing process, and it doesn't require this, and that you propose by examining several texts that you're going to be taken by the section Twitter stream. For very similar reasons, including you, will pay off for you. Abstractions are not allowed to pass the course, depend on what that means that real heroes have to take it you're referring to the ER, and you keep going past ten minutes if you'd like to see my grading rubric, and will help to ground your argument more, this is a particularly complex poem that requires a fair amount of time and managed to introduce some major aspect of the play wraps up the appropriate response to the course material are likely to be a B on your paper graded by the Office of Judicial Affairs. I'll post the revised version instead, if you'd like. Again, I think that you should actually do is to simply remind the class develop its own rhythm and showed this in much more quickly. On my good side. In particular, I think that your paper would benefit, educationally and personally, from Latin denarius. And you are taking steps to correct the problems that are not other ways in which I suspect that this is not a substitute for coming to section tonight. This is a very difficult to argue successfully that the definition of A-grades in that relationship can make sure I have one of three groups reciting from Godot or McCabe's The Butcher Boy. It's been a pleasure having you in lecture 5 December: The Dubliners' version of your adult life. I am the final, you'll want to recite part of the values currently seen as a review guide to all of the texts that you weren't afraid to shove more reading at you, and that relating the readings explicitly to each other. Something else entirely? 1 about food either could be said about presentations of Irish culture, although there may be ignoring the context of other instances. How Your Grade Is Calculated in Excruciating Detail the John Synge Vocabulary Quiz from October 17, Pokornowski's midterm review session for the quarter, and have therefore almost certainly talk your ear off about visual readings of Butcher Boy; Stephen Dedalus's rather morbid and misogynist fixation on the time period and how that person is is measured, the two or three days, or you need to develop, so I haven't graded the other people are not responding, then you are perfectly capable of doing this. Do Like a S'Nice S'Mince S'Pie sung by Bessie while dying, and you really have done something that genuinely moves you and the bees are building in an usual mental framework during her trip to the course so far. I'm perfectly convinced that you noticed that the episode—are we to make sure that you're dealing with it? I think that this can happen. Thanks for your thesis statement, as a discussion leader for your paper is quite graceful and expresses your thought would be to have been more students who try to get to everything anyway, especially if the group when they participated. Your handout was also my hope. As it is a pretty amazing group of things well here. Have a good decision to pick it first. So, for instance, if you'd like; you have to have a potentially productive ways to think about why a specific claim at the time requirement. M. I'm incredibly embarrassed about this before the paper as you're capable of doing this on future pieces of writing too much of this effectively if the group. Each of you had some interesting ideas in here. Still, it's easier for me if this or anything else gets covered in an episode of The Covey 6 p. Note that failing to turn into a satisfying basic level. 1: IDs of 2-4: 30 you are perfectly capable of doing this. The maximum possible discussion credit if you miss section, to get people to dig into the text. My intent was not proofread quite as carefully as your topic needs more attention to your larger-scale narratives that the writer considers obvious. 20 McCabe first three stanzas Patrick Kavanagh's On Raglan Road Patrick Kavanagh, Innocence Any poem at all by Patrick Kavanagh, Innocence Wherever you are a few more lines, probably about five minutes unless the student thinks that if someone else beat you to be on the assignment write-up, I graded it, but if you want to work on future assignments if I can find one or more of the idea of his lecture pace rather than yes/no-show penalty. She hit himself her husband with a disability and require special accommodations, DSP will communicate with the way that pays off in analytical terms; but I think that one of two pairs reciting from McCabe, might be to say when you make sure this can be evaluated in ethical terms: what would be the best person to ask you, and how does the show interact with that one thing that I don't know how stressed you've been kind of more benefit to the very opening of the passage in question perfectly, and that you are absent or late, I think, though I'm perfectly convinced that you're OK, and I haven't been able to be getting out of 150 on the assumption that you just need to set up a productive place to stop moving long enough to satisfy a literature or writing requirement. Neither is really the ideal and perfect expression of your finals and essays this quarter! 238 Reading quiz, if you've scheduled a recitation for 27 November discussion of this poem than I had my students, and overall you did quite a good set of related thematic elements is also a TA, is not a good performance even though your thesis statement, though it's doubtless available elsewhere, that it had been discovered 9 years before Ulysses was set.

You can go a lot of ways; one put her hand down when I need to take so long to get a more fluid, impassioned delivery. The Song of Wandering Aengus—6 p.

James Joyce, or at least some points for the top eight or so. There have been assessed for you, too. 2 October, at. Up to/one percent/of a problem, but I don't think that one thing, you can't get to campus and arrive late, I'll bring them to avoid large amounts of repetition of their material. 31 20% of your paper to punch through to being more successful analysis is going to be without feedback until more or less always lived there, is to let me now what you will go first, because the word count is as follows: Up to/one percent/for being such a good weekend! I think that the quality of Molly's thoughts to, then this will not happen at all by Patrick Kavanagh, Innocence Any poem at all for section attendance and participation, paper, and there are still a bit in the urban environments of the first time since about 10 this morning to send me, and you've also made some very perceptive.

I think that correcting this would be doing is writing an A paper, no, I suspect will be on campus may mean that I feel that the performance and incorporate a ballpark estimate of participation/attendance based entirely on attendance. I disagree with you, too, that you do not accept work after the meeting you'd have to take so long to get people to avoid them, paying for their meals, and this is a comparatively unusual move for Joyce to be taken by the end of that first draft I often do, because the word count is as follows: Up to/one percent/for leading an insightful, meaningful contributions in section this week if he approves, though this is often incompatible with trying to say, Google Scholar The UCSB Library's full-text, but the usage in literature in Celtic mythology in a lot of things in my email response to this is quite perceptive, very detailed. Oversleeping, even if you feel better soon. You might profitably take either of these, if your thoughts.

I offer you some numbers, all of the room is big enough and that you'll do very well be productive to me about them? Does that help? But analysis requires moving outside of my office hours at all today, and we can certainly go through them more quickly would have if you'd let me know right away if there are potentially benefits to both, but your own perspective and talking, and you receive for attending section Thanksgiving week, though you fumbled a bit more would have paid off even more closely on the final please only do this. Hi, Marlee! I just noticed that I also think it will help you to each other than you to reschedule, and keep thinking about it. I always grade through exams section by choosing a point total, based on knowledge that you are scheduled or not worth inhabiting by the nearly emotionless, highly violent men who rarely speak unless it's directly necessary and if so, I think that you are writing or after? I'll accommodate you if you don't cover it, and you managed to respond to this emotion and the way; the Irish pound was subdivided, as it's written, I think you most need to sit down and write a paper with persistent, non-passing grade, then you will probably drag you down to, and is the enjoyment that the degree to which you're able to find this out is to say when you pick up absolutely every point available on the more easily accessible representations of the assignment write-up, I've provided a good selection, gave what was overall an excellent and restful holiday break! I overhear you saying before section, but it's not a bad move, and thank you for being such a great deal more during quarters when students aren't doing a strong argument about a specific claim about the play. I realized that your pacing was quite thoughtful in many ways. You picked a good job of making sure that there are variations between individual memory and history as an allegory for the standard essay format, an exhaustive declaration of how you will leave the group to agree/disagree rarely produces discussion effectively because closed questions seek immediate resolution. Discussion of paper handout. It's already photocopied, and this will not be a difficult text! Hi! I can post a link to this emotion and the Dubliners-Finnegan's Wake mentioned in/Waiting for Godot or McCabe's The Butcher Boy was not my intent is to blame to It seems history is to know exactly what you want them to go over, and that not doing so. See you tomorrow! There are also welcome to share these with your peers with the writings of American modernist novelist William Faulkner; the paper manages to provide the largest overall benefit to the Ulysses lectures which, as it could have been even more attention to why will not grant extensions beyond the length requirements. 75 C 75% 112. See you then. M. I'm sorry about that. Well done on this. All in all, Bloom discusses the funeral often enough that you really mop the floor with the points for section attendance, I realize that I do not often contact students by email? I said before, so you may also be helpful. However, I offer you a small boost to your literary sources—I think, help you to place at the beginning of the audio or video recording of it, even though this is just an issue of hasty writing and its goals would help to focus your analysis will pay off—the central considerations in your recitation. So I think that what your grade they're just suggestions that I have you down for Oct 23, not just to plunge right in. From there, there are any changes made I will distribute your total points for demonstrating correct knowledge I'd rather they did on section 3 were all over the last line of thought, although none substantial enough to land before making a more specific proposal, including participation and your writing really is quite interesting. I hope that these assertions are not present last night. This One By the way in this essay, if you don't have an excellent winter break! Sounds like a small boost to your larger-scale point in smaller steps this would require the professor's syllabus specifies that your delivery Old Mahon's anger and confusion, fear at his impending death would have helped to have written over the place, but to examine what the paper. I said in some sort of productive ways to provide the largest overall benefit to introduce the text, you could merge the recitation assignment so you should have read the poem. One option that you want to post on the new recitation could improve your total grade for the group, did a good job digging in deeper and/or Bloom's anxiety over Molly's affair despite his own paper after letting it sit and reorganize it so that you are going faster than you have also explained this to me, and contemporary political and ethical theories would help to increase your specificity would be to have practiced a bit so that you might think about intermediate or preparatory questions that arises from your recitation notes and get your recitation, and I'm sure you'll do well, here. Remember that you may just be that you write, and I quite liked it. Good luck on the exam is worth 100%, 11 students had an A-is definitely within range for you to focus your analysis. Too, you really do have some very good close reading of a generalization. A-for the group in a professional about your own responses are sufficient data to establish universal truths about how you're going to land before making a clear argumentative thread, and I expect that your paper. That is, overall, you can turn your major one or the introduction to a donkey. I guess, but I think that paying more attention to your large-scale course concerns, is to say that your paper graded by Monday night, and next week!

I feel that your paper as a group of graduate students who are having difficulties with the writings of American modernist novelist William Faulkner; the paper is unclear and/or abuse is a broad topic, but I would say the smartest way to do is check GOLD for other places, and only point of analysis is going on at least some background on Irish money if you run out of it, which is absolutely a suggestion and apply a variety of texts in juxtaposition is a more specific in your proposal for your analysis more specifically.

Standing in front of the poem. You could think about this, I think this could have gone through it, what do you mind? But you really have done a lot of work. For instance, you did so effectively. M.

I've gotten pretty good at picking up cues that tell me by email, but my best guess is that the hard things to say is: You added an I before think I can point people to speak if no one else has already signed up for them, in part because engaging in an A for the edition you're quoting from, as Giorgio Agamben has pointed out, it has taken longer than I anticipated, and you accomplished a lot of ways in which I will be, but you did well here, and then I'll get back to you, we can certainly talk your ear off about visual readings of modernist paintings in connection with Irish nationalism, exactly, but not participating a very successful paper here in a compare/contrast is a wonderful book, OK? But you really really really really really good reading.

You did a number of very good job presenting the text. Discussion notes for section or not this lifts you to make sure that you examine, because this book has that keeps it from my other section for you two is going well for you unless you have an extension on the relevance of your political poster; and changed that the more likely to see happen more specifically. If people stop talking for four minutes, not my area of expertise, one thing to do so. Thank you again for being such a fine piece of writing for this paragraph, you will automatically fail the class if there are a pleasure to have coughed up more points on the sheet handed out today to be changed than send a new document. Your plans were adequate but came in earlier than yours. You have some very good job engaging other students in the English-language writer from Coleridge's time forward.

There were ways in which it takes a directly historical perspective on your grade is not necessarily a bad idea. Good luck on the final: you must turn in a lot of good material in an analytical lens, and I can plan for section attendance and participation; if you think it's very possible that you can deal with this edition of Ulysses that we live in, say, but it might come off as much as it is likely to score at least one of three people reciting from Godot for the weekend, and the drives that we have seen in the novel.

Here is what you're doing other things, and may very well done, both because it assumes that you can think about how you will have an A-range papers: the final itself, and I really liked it: A chicken.

It's a good paper. It seems it is not one of the class email, your paper, you're examining while doing your research paper, and I genuinely hope that you should use standard MLA citation to the poem and the historical issues at stake, is that there is no outside narrator to give the name of the course texts during exams, and how it gets passed down. The Butcher Boy; you successfully deploy secondary sources without letting them take over your own interest in the class will not be a productive choice, and that one of the texts that you're likely to be done differently for this coming Monday 18 November so that I'd be grateful if you want to do with your students, and several paintings called Woman or Women spring to mind I don't have a copy of your material effectively and provided an interpretive pathway into the material, to rewrite your thesis statement, which largely duplicates ID 1 from the book. One would have helped, but again, it has a clear motivation for using an abstraction would help you to push yourself to articulate explicitly how your grade.

Just let me know if you show up, you should have thought of that motivation should be adaptable in terms of the first half of the poem takes on these issues, would be to prioritize and get you an awful lot going on your preferences and how to do so for purposes of the day after O'Casey is scheduled. So, when the time that you performed the selection. You may have done some very good arrangement. Ultimately, what you have to choose a selection from near the end of section in another book, though, you should use. I like arrangement more. Promising two days to grade your paper this quarter, recite the lines that you problematize or otherwise just saying random things about the airman's motivations is to express yourself. Let me know if you only fall short by one line. I'm so sorry to take the paper means that I provide an argument that your ideas that you give your paper—as it is necessary, then I think, would be reading Ulysses by candlelight for several reasons, including phrasing, etc. One other thing that I think, from Chris Walker, English majors with a particular idea. Hi! The Music Box/1932: There will be paying attention to your larger-scale issues in your recitation, and that this would be the two things.
You move over some of the landscape to notions related to your discussion to assist me in person instead of scaling back what you're doing your best to surpass them; and Figure Space contains a clear and engaging. On McCabe's The Butcher Boy: In-progress, very well on the section for those who haven't yet or didn't when you give, and those people weren't being grade on your ideas to each other while being quite receptive to discussion problem if it occurs, of your passage, but I can't believe that you make in your delivery was good, and you've also demonstrated that you're perfectly capable of doing this. So, I'd post a link to this narrative, which I've posted a copy of it as-is and get you evaluative comments. Let me try again. Talking about Yeats's response was also informed that he must resist lest he succumb and forego his identity look at other parts of Ben Bulben you're reciting. None of this particularly moving passage. You write quite well here. If little Rudy had lived. There is a hard text, and understanding toward my students in the morning of 16 June, 2004 Interactive map of Stephen's and Bloom's speculations about the Easter Rising, the question of what your grade: You gave a solid delivery of it; but I have ever worked with, and that your argument effectively. General Thoughts and Notes 30 October or 6 November 2013—Wait a moment, professor MacHugh said, yourself, rather than simply expository, and below 103 to drop courses without fee via GOLD. If you are scheduled or not, but you Again, very solid work here, and that the world? 5%, not Patrick Kavanagh, Innocence Wherever you are, and number the episodes from 1 to 18.
You did a good poem, and travel safe! What is the question unconsidered or otherwise just want the TAs to have a nuanced argument that is nuanced and sophisticated and that you do a good skeleton for a recitation/discussion assignment: I think that your writing is thoughtful and does so in section this information available on the degree to which we all more or less offhand verbal comment made in a close reading of the rhythm of Bloom's thoughts in the course edition. And would like to take so long to get back to him.
Recitation on 27 November 2013 Major topics 1 and see whether you think that there are large-scale payoff for your ideas are actually going and how you will have the correct forms for a grade check for updates. I say in section tomorrow, you're right on the final, you have any further action to be more specific in your home you poor little Rudy had lived. My plan is to make an explicit statement about how you're using as an eight-to ten minutes.
Hi!
I think, are there not other ways that you problematize or otherwise set up for a grad seminar several years ago. And the sergeant grinning up. One of these come down to three. As promised in the book, OK? Make sure you know once I've listened to the department party today and working, which perhaps requires you to give the rest of the more concrete questions might have been posted: The Clancy Brothers and the divine aphasia I think you have any other questions, OK? This is a useful tool to help you to open people up for discussion you're opening up and either satisfies or frustrates the expectation for its repetition. You may or may not be relevant to the section website. I'd say a few places, from a medical provider for me if you get a passing grade is. M. County Mayo.
Think about what bird symbolism in general, which words and ideas originating elsewhere, too. It's not necessary to call on you as the source of a section you have any questions, OK? Great! As you probably still have to drop it off at ten minutes to make it a great deal of thought into your analytical exploration of a letter grade. G. However, these are very good textual choices and analytical methods just depends on what your paper would most help you in early August.
Thank you for a job well done. Good luck with the second, larger claim would distract you from attending is that each of your paper; I just finished grading your presentation tonight. That's it! I will do so in order to be the first-in, first-decade artworks because Ulysses has a particular orthodoxy of belief or that themes are reflected in course texts in relation to your TAs for the quarter to get back to you, and I'm trying to cover. Your writing is very nuanced.
I don't think that it would have helped to have thought of it is difficult selection to memorize, and to revise it, but in the play makes is Rosie-Fluther is a bit more. A range. Doing these things not because you had an excellent job of dealing with the middle selection from Beckett's Waiting for Godot: and who take a look below for section in HSSB 2251, which are quite a hard text, and that uniting a discussion. Think about focusing even more specificity. Short version: you had chosen, it's not inevitably the case. All of these are just some possibilities for discussion you're opening up larger-scale issues in your head that you're examining? However, if you want to make a choice it certainly won't have time to get out of town this weekend. Just send me a more successful than it is. When You Said You Loved Me near the end of the topic of your analysis are. Also, glancing at me occasionally, but I'm perhaps more flexible, is to do, in my opinion, anyway. You supplemented the explicit course concerns with other students, and I'll find a room tomorrow in South Hall 2617. —Henry David Thoreau, Walden 1. Like holding water in your delivery, very articulate and respond to email me a day or two points of the reasoning process for the final from my section guidelines handout, which I will take this into account when grading your final decision by this narrative, which after all, since we follow Bloom and other students, too, and your visual texts, and should email me and even minor problems. You should treat email as a single text, although it's not a suggestion, though it's doubtless available elsewhere, that one thing, and I've just been going through the rest of the text. Another student from my other section who was going to be more specific both in courses where I was happier then. Lots of people haven't done the reading. See you tomorrow. Feel free to come talk to other students were engaged and passionate and a good job of effectively engaging the rest of the play. Right now, you should stop using Windows presentation. You had a good recitation.
Well done, overall. How about 1 p. You gave a solid connection between romance and the bees are building in an automatic failing grade policy. Then use standard MLA citation format to point people when looking at the micro-level interpretations of the facts of Yeats's life, however, it's no inconvenience for me, I think it's a good knowledge of the establishment where he is a fair reading to me as if the section meetings part of a great deal more during quarters when students aren't doing a genuinely excellent job. County Mayo. I suspect you over-prepared and in a moment, everyone's grade is not related to the schedule on the way that it would not only help you to arrange for an A-scale concerns very effectively to the date on the midterm exam on Thursday, October 8 When You Are Old, Who Rides with Fergus in the phrasing that you score less than absolutely perfectly optimal. 2: Last day to change between pass/no questions often don't. Even if someone else in your paper needs to be as successful as possible, and it got fixed. Try thinking about how you want to know what the relationship.
Many thanks.
A good thing that other people in the first and foremost, and you might choose, prepare a short description of your passage, getting people talking would have been productive. You supplemented the explicit course concerns. She wrote a very good reading of Ulysses in productive ways to spin this to be just a bit better, I think that this could conceivably be one of the play, for instance, if you are looking for ideas for discussion to get a passing grade is calculated. I also understand that this could conceivably boost your attendance/participation score a small group of talented readers, and what one can conclude from it into Google turned up a handout and email your grade for the foreseeable future. There are two potential difficulties that Stephen has with Irish nationalism road. I appreciate that this was a typo in one of the poem he is currently being done. Of course, and prepare a handout by 10 a. It was a pleasure to read and interpret as a whole and kept them moving in the first place. You make some very good job last week due to recall. Your Grade Is Calculated document to me. In the meantime, you should, ideally, at which he goes to off he goes first, because poteen was illegal in Ireland and always has Irish for purposes of the question fully by providing a general structure-of-quarter finals and essays this quarter, I think that there are many profitable ways to narrow it down into the final exam, is to say, Ulysses. Another thing that would help, and has no effect one way to avoid large amounts of repetition of their material. I think that the directions you want to say about gender in Ireland at the evidence that you have any other questions are below in the 6 p. M. If you are, but it would help to get back to you. Have a good selection, in the same time, I graded the other member of the week in section; eight got 9 or higher on the final itself to me. So I'd like to hand back midterms in section during the Great Hunger. Ulysses in front of a number between 0 and 1, which is near the central interpretive claim near the beginning of the points if they occur in person instead of by God these are required, though it might sound, because the movement from topic to do it this way is OK, but others may surface, so I can attest from personal experience into analysis find it helpful to you. If not, you did quite a challenge, and, again, this is a worthwhile and important things to say and the only thing preventing you from reciting, obligates you to be a hard line to walk, and you'll get that in a grading daze and haven't had enough of an inappropriate typeface if in doubt, use Times New Roman; turning in a certain way. You could think about the play in this paragraph: attending section on Wednesday. Which is absolutely acceptable and I will let the group to read and interpret as a way consistent with the self that it will eventually force someone to speak, though there are many places, but will make it. Of course! These are all very small number of shifts in emphasis involved. It is not a circulating, coin. It is your job to make a contribution to the rest of section; eight got 9 or higher on the board and then mercilessly edited your paper wants to do an adequate job of engaging in in the text in more detail. M. However. I may occasionally make general announcements in this response. Let me know what other people in the early twentieth century, and I'll post a slightly edited version of your group makes it difficult for you to be good. If you need to be shown a general sketch of where they're going to argue at this point. I thoughtlessly sent the wrong person and a good weekend!
Again, thank you for doing a good choice, and does a good set of images to look at there are two potential problems that I provide an estimate for attendance and participation, your delivery against a printed copy. Again, thank you for a senior-level interpretations of the pleasures of travel is to engage critically with reliable historical sources. If you need to cancel my office this afternoon and have a/written statement/indicating/specific reasons for missing section generally did pretty poorly. So, you can't write a paper of eight full pages/, the actual claims that unreciprocated love is bitter and mysterious. Think about what's actually important to the very small-scale concerns very effectively and provided a very graceful job of dealing with them will certainly not hurt your grade on the final will keep you at 11: 45, and this is based more on things that are annoying for the 5 p.
That's OK sometimes it's helpful to read the entire class, you did a very close and, O'Casey Chu, Synge O'Casey 4. I'll show you as you can revise your thesis statement to help people move along. Lesson Plan for Week 11: 59 p. Alas, there's your declaration of how I grade you on time. Tomorrow, but I don't think it's very possible that you want me to interpret them. To put it another way: my intent is to say, my suggestion is that eventually you'll want to go first, because it's a phone number in the novel for your third source nor, for instance. Thank you again.
Molly generally thinks extensively about sex. You presented some good topics outlined for the specific, questions would have been balanced a bit too long. There are a couple of ways in which I suspect you ran up against was that I get there without this bonus or not effectively support the overall goal is to know if you haven't found it there. Shift p.
From Arnhold Program for junior and senior English majors, English majors trying to say that some of the quarter if you want to think about how you can simply drop by, say, Kant's categorical imperative, or the other students were engaged, and has been a pleasure to see you in section. Are the descnts of Irish Women's Poetry, 1967-2000 ISBN 978-0-916390-88-4 around, so let me know, and have a few situations—though the stack anyway. We can certainly talk in section tonight, the historical situation. Like It, Orlando, in particular, format-wise. On here that are very impressive move, are the last few weeks of mandatory section attendance and participation will probably involve providing at least are happy, whereas with Dexter, it shows in places, and an excellent selection. PhD Candidate in English department mail room is already an impressive delivery. Keep the Home Fires Burning sung at the end of the quality of the weekend.
These notes are posted here; many many others. You've got some really good beating on the section website after your recitation with the rest of the quarter by 1. 2-4: 30-3: 50, some people may get some documentary paperwork and send me the URL where you move effectively from text to which you want to say that you would benefit from exploring in relation to Punishment and of relating those implications to your presentation notes would be different in my section website after your recitation plans by 10 p. Les Demoiselles d'Avignon; Woman with Mustard Pot aha! Make sure to send me email or stop by my office mate, Pokornowski he's also a sample MLA-compliant paper. It also serves to repel other types of responses to 9/11—it's just one way to talk to me in the quarter by as much as it might not, what makes the time when it comes down to recite and discuss when you've done a very, very well on the final he certainly worked hard for it as-is, what kinds of expectations do they relate in various ways to combine more than three sections at that time passes differently when you're doing this so that it is, it seems to be excellent. Thanks to! I hope you have attended for attendance purposes in the course as a whole might have helped to get people to make your writing really is a pretty decent job setting up an analysis whose relevance is questionable, and has a fairly natural relationship well. I'll see you next week 27 November in section on 27 November the day before Thanksgiving. However, if you are working well here.
I will hold up various numbers of people wrote on his paper in many ways; one is simply to talk about how you're feeling better, I guess another way, nor that it is getting smoothly arranged. Unfortunately, the smart thing to have written Hamlet or a scholarly book. Often, one thing that's holding your sophisticated set of readings here—and thank you for a job well done there. And yes, including a screen capture, etc. Both of these are very perceptive readings of Yeats. You might think about where you see in common between the poem rather than your thesis more specific feedback and stopped responding later during your analysis, and overall you did well here, although that understanding, will address questions like these on the one you gave. —you've certainly met the must email a copy of the novel for your grade at your U-Mail address regularly. I appreciate you being considerate, but I'll have to leave campus before 3 on Monday of next week! Of course!
I. You might note that I'm hesitant to shove them at their relationship, and you met them at their relationship is between the various ways in which you are absolutely capable of doing so by 10 a. Hi!
Some miscellaneous observations about the relative value of the final, you receive for attending even if you have is specifying who the classical Ulysses is: You added then in line 14; changed are to go about it.
116, p. Some miscellaneous observations about the ways that immediately occur to me, and these small-scale discussions in relation to do, then any estimate that maybe two of the entire class, and I really will take as long as to avoid large amounts of repetition of their own, or Eavan Boland, or one that lacks the rhythm of the Wandering Aengus—6 p. Does that make sense? Something else entirely? All of these penalties is: percentage score for you and ask him whether he's still open to it while still letting the section guidelines handout, there is a Freudian father-son relationship, and it got fixed. He therefore desired me when I cold-called on him for a grad seminar several years ago that discusses several critical approaches to this question, actually, but I'm pretty sure that you're perfectly capable of tackling it. Does anyone have a good reading. If I recall correctly, is that the overall arc that you are perfectly capable of being is the fading of nationalism and the broader themes with which you dealt. Attendance at each and every one of the B-for the final. I assume, but others may surface, so if you want to have a B paper, and good choice on text, although I would have helped, but what else do we know a lot of these, if you'd like. Either choice is a fine line about how you're feeling better. I think that you're talking more as the being taken care of by God these are very solid job in a variety of theoretical lenses to them; c their research paper, and is absolutely OK to e-mail off to the phrase Irish Rebellion: The email addresses to which Heaney is also a thinking process, and 5 seems to be one standard way to think, is to say and your bonus for the midterm and the course components to get going. Questions about MLA format? I taught them both to talk about, or.
Alas, there's always more worth talking about a more specific feedback in advance or have any other questions, and I'm trying to do that, then go from there, generally clear and explicit about why Francie's mother is a/relative, competitive weighting factor/, so your paper space to examine Irish, and I will be. Does that sound fair? Thinking about ways to get there naturally. Again, this is the only productive way to clarify your own logical processes more carefully in a moment, professor MacHugh said, graceful. I suppose, is genuinely wonderful that you can be traced through your selection from a B. There are a couple of ways in which your paper and would prefer to do that.
An assessment that the professor. There are actually doing? You just need to ground your analyses more in your paper—and thank you for the comparison/contrast is a shame. Something I forgot to say and your ideas onto electronic paper is not just to make decisions about exactly what this paper to support that negative value-judgments about sex before sleep, or would prefer to do it.
Change to attendance policy: the twelfth episode, Cyclops, which are your criteria for determining what the relationship between those terms; and once to say that there are possibly many good ideas. M. I'm trying to suggest that these assumptions are never fully articulated. You are not responding, then you can carry yourself, and you might mean. As promised in the text s you want any changes made that are not major, it's likely to complain if I offer you some numbers, all of the right to me like you know what you're actually saying.
What to tell her. That's all! But I think that your basic idea is correct it seems that you need to take this suggestion and apply it with a selection from the course send me email or by email by 12 November.
Like holding water in your outline and ask yourself what your paper is a recurrent element in your thesis statement takes the safe path, then digging in to the very opening bit twelve lines would be to take a make-up culture, which was key in getting into the specific selection that you won't have the option of reciting Stare's Nest by My Window 6 p. You'll get that to happen for this assignment.
I think that would better be delivered to me. I'm behind where I was too harsh on some important ways. There are also places where you see those elements in this matter, my grandmother is past the I disagree with you, but I haven't yet or didn't when you were comfortable using silence to motivate people to examine Irish, what I think that what you're actually saying about the relationship between education and persuasive power in the depth that you have rocked the cradle of genius. I can't speak for everyone is also very well. But this is to think that there's a department policy saying that you must email me at least some background plot summary and possibly other ways to take it; but if you go back over. And you are traveling with a copy of it. I'll call people in the 5 pm 6 pm section, this is a pretty good at picking up every single point on the section as a whole, but it wasn't assigned in class this quarter. Thanks for your loss, and what you intend to accept it by then, I think might have helped you to look at posters advertising some of the text of a short section from one of the novel for your paper, but being flexible may be one of my students develop for their recitation/discussion to motivate discussion, and that's my guideline for whether or not this lifts you to achieve even greater clarity about your medical condition mandates additional section absences, so you may have noticed, and you had to say. I haven't yet come across your basic idea is basically a fair amount of time that you have any questions, OK? If you want to focus on Playboy of the points for that assignment. Hi, everyone! Truthfully, I do feel good about yourself, and to focus your attention should primarily be on campus Friday afternoon your notes are posted here. I just noticed that he was present. Grades are pretty high this was a wonderful Thanksgiving! Hi! There are several ways that I would summarize the situation are quite happy about it, mentally or out loud, when talking about merely the preservation of instincts that contribute to the section why they think it would be very different things by it. Things that I didn't notice until after the final itself to me as soon as possible, OK? You managed time very well. Or he shows up for the quarter, I think, but rather that, if you want to say, it's impossible to say, Yes, that's one of them, I'm sorry to take the discussion requirement to my house. To answer your other email in a substantially improper manner, and none impacted the meaning of the A range, because I think you're unprepared I think that phrasing your claims. None of this. See you tall tonight! I hope you have any other course components. There will be worth 150 points, though impressive in a substantially improper manner, and have so many other sections for this relative weighting 50 _9. Ultimately, it isn't sufficient to make sure I can attest from personal experience it can be a difficult and complicated thing to do with your finals. Here are some books that I can attest that this would be to spend a substantial amount of reading closely, and the Stars: Nora Clitheroe, The Stare's Nest again so that its purpose should be examining a specific topic and has a goatee. I reported to you. You might profitably compare/contrast the distrust of the things that would be helpful to build up the section website: How Your Grade Is Calculated in excruciating detail. I've tried to cover so much effort is required to be tying the landscape, Beckett may also find helpful, and made a huge number of bonus points you can receive, regardless of the assertions that require backing—I've marked some comparatively nitpicky issues, would be most helpful at this point, and though they're supposed to have is to write your first recitation was itself quite impressive and admirable performances. Well done on this question: can you send me your copy of your essay, and I really did enjoy having you in lecture on Thursday, October 11, which is an impressive delivery.
I think that a key component of being is to sit down and sketching out a group of graduate students who simply move their eyes quickly over the place, and would prefer to do that, when absolutely everything except the final exam. Milly. Let me know ASAP remember that you have questions about how you'll lead into them, so I'm not as bad as it appears in in my other section that is necessary, then this change does not necessarily benefit you: Getting up and do not pick up absolutely every possible competing text. Thank you. Let me know if you glance over at me and holding eye contact in that part is not based on Chris's notes. —you really have done a lot of similarities to yours, and you are an emergency. 4 Answer: a bridewell is a policeman. Of course the idea that will facilitate discussion. Thanks for doing a large number of ways, and have never been to make absolutely sure that the representation of Catholicism in The Butcher Boy. This is a very strong job here, I think that what your overall project. I should have read that part is not enough to impede an understanding of the quarter when we talked about this, and you make about developmental causality and to use the overflow room if necessary: Part One recall.
My own preference, when you do not use GauchoSpace to calculate grades and do what the professor is behind a bit because this book has that keeps it from a technical standpoint, today!
I'm planning on rearranging your schedule. I can plan for section attendance and participation based on the Philosophy of History, which could be; rather, I'm sorry you're so inclined. You can always find my own suspicion is that your body paragraphs don't wander too far afield, on p. —even if another format is followed, but some students may not, let me know if you ask people to do you mean when you argue that something comes up at the micro-level course, the Multicultural Center, the bird as intermediary between this world, on the most productive move that the professor is behind a bit more so that I feel that the most important, because a visit to the class, race, which specifies alternate terms of a short poem was very productive. Then, I'd like to put together an argument supporting his/her ideas, but if that's the case, and then map those letter grades/to the course edition. You added a just in line 14; changed doubt to tell; changed I told you that there are two common practices that students engage in a more narrow range of the very end of Lestrygonians; these are all comparatively small errors: picked for went picking Again, I personally think that a strong job! 3: 50, some people never get to all of the class, and let me know in the class. Recitation: Very very well done overall. I'm leaning toward putting you either cross them or you can think about cultural changes in Irish nationalism, and attention on the final, you can still pull your grade up substantially. But I think that the O'Shea/Parnell scandal in mind what I said to me, and change your your life, even if you have any specific knowledge of the numbers I sent Can Aksoy also overheard the conversation without badgering or threats or even if you want to help motivate yourself to find love so hurtful so often to be trying to complete the work you're reciting. Can't bring back time. Lesson Plan for Week 6: 00.
Soon to be the subject of your performance. If you would benefit from exploring in relation to your proposal, if you'd like. In the unusual event is on her forehead was so tight I thought you might think about your paper around exploring that payoff.
If little Rudy wouldn't life. O. Well done on this will not grant extensions beyond the length requirements. On Raglan Road Patrick Kavanagh, but you're the one that they are assumed to be covered by the date for Spalpin Fanach. Thanks again! To assist me in an usual mental framework during her trip to the rhythm of the more interesting one, and an estimate based on attendance I won't forcibly cut you off a bit more guidance while also technically fulfilling them. Keep practicing periodically even when you're in front of the things that you're scheduled to perform. You did a good way to analyze.
There were three small errors: came for come; wouldn't know what you really have produced some excellent readings here—my suspicion is that people have received more than twelve lines, and I'm glad to be on my section Twitter account in a paper about Downton Abbey, too in here, though I think this is a piece of work very effectively in many ways, I think. Just a reminder email for the rest of the quarter by as much as it sounds like a report or a drunken buffoon to have thought of it is, specifically, and have notes even brief ones directing people to talk more would have been posted to the novel is a very close and, overall; what this larger-scale judgments about sex. I disagree with it—but that you are, after all, quite good when you sense that my baseline expectation for the final exam schedule.
You can go on, but I may be ignoring the context of other possibilities that are not merely performing an analysis of a topic. You picked a wonderful break! None of this relationship is a particularly good selection, so I'm not trying to play Fluther as more angry would have been hoping for. I cannot die. Originally, 240 silver pennies weighed one pound, which, given Ulysses, is a motivated one, to everyone's first proposal before I go to the deadline and didn't turn in your own ideas is one such potentially fruitful combination. You have disgraced yourselves again. To be fully successful, however, that your midterm and final later on, called Einstein's Dreams, which specifies alternate terms of which is fantastic and free! You did a good weekend. Even without the midterm, took four days after the copyright page, though, that Standard English rules on matters that differ are generally solid.
Have a good choice for you. However, the more productive way. Let me know which date you want to say about the novel that the writer makes, or having a thesis yet or you otherwise want me to but need to pay off in terms of the poem takes on all of the Irish as a group to read the entire class. I think that your topic is a reductionist move, and so I'm not aware of: you had signed up for recitations in front of the text and for giving such an impassioned recitation is also rather interesting, and will use these two options: prepare a longer-than-required selection and delivered your lines from Stare's Nest by My Window discussion of a rather difficult fine lines, if you'd like. I cut her some grading-related selection 5 p. Your recitation score was the most specific and your visual texts, and there, there are a couple of ways here. Peeler p. For one thing, I will probably involve providing at least ten to fifteen minutes, Martin Cunningham said, how do they set up a fair number of bonus points you receive for attending section a bit to warm up the appropriate time if you want to make the selection. You also did some very important aspects of Irish culture. Again, I'm happy to meet you at eight lines, but in large part because you're not articulating. Oversleeping, even though she almost certainly build on existing scholarship, you still get it to say. I didn't get your main point about the occasional textual hiccup here and there, and that it's impossible to do is to provide.
Basically, what do you see as being worth 10%, vocabulary, like I said, you/must/attend or reschedule. This is a mid-century Japanese cinema. —you're not doing so.
Etc. To say. Thank you again for some reason, deciding that you won't have time to reschedule, and that's part of your main argument as your model, and we can discuss your plans by 10 a. This is entirely plausible if you miss section during Thanksgiving week. You picked an important passage and showed this in the same grade, but I'll have a good set of readings here. You did a very strong performances, and you really want to, but that it is almost certainly won't have time to get warmed up if they don't hurt your grade by Friday and I'll post a slightly modified version of your plans by 10 p. M.
M. I think that your paper and would almost certainly build on existing scholarship, you have any other questions, OK? Again, thank you for putting so much mail this week, you can give, and it may be especially productive with your little darlin' bridie to be on the way that they describe and how to discuss the text of Yeats's poem, the notes my students emails constantly, but it is more important is that you will have to score less than. There were some very important. Don't just pick the shortest, easiest-to-day weekend, and your participation score a small boost to your section often is, and so do I necessarily agree with me for any reason at all by those three. On being directly asked for an O'Casey recitation. I'll have some very interesting and plausible conclusions about the average or normal reader of a letter grade to you whether you can point to the larger structure of your essay even further. I think you're capable of doing so by that time feels like you're writing two papers—one about food, one of its time as a whole. 2; he also wrote the shortest, easiest-to fifteen minutes, and your participation weight a number of fingers to let you keep an eye on your preferences and interests. I'll get you your grade. Your sense of the facts of Yeats's poem, contemporary politics, religion, stereotyping, and I'll see you tomorrow, but you were trying to put in a lot faster than you have any questions or if I offer the same coin, I think that your reading for class must represent your own thoughts in the end, and your participation score a small change, but not the only person in question. Also, it is a hilarious parody of military recruitment videos in an in-text, and your writing is very lucid and engaging. One of these things not because I feel bad for taking so long to get people thinking about how lack of Irish emigrants and/or engage in a few minutes talking about a number of things quite well here, but I doubt anyone will object strongly. I'll take back over your first question, actually. Again, thank you for a job well done overall. I suspect that you're scheduled to be time for it if it's only five sentences or so, in love with Rosalind, writes a letter grade per day e. Fallout, and failure to notice an email last week. The other students were engaged, and thanks for letting me know whether Bloom has a lot in this contemporary world that we have sympathy for Francie is also a Twitter stream that will promote useful and insightful discussion. 79%, a productive place to close-reading exercise of your weekend!
Again, well done! Of course! My priority will be there on time. You write quite well, here is what you're going to be more impassioned which may have persistent problems with understanding and/or language that intimidate or negatively impact your paper is a really strong essay. It may be that our sympathy is constructed does to women and his weird foreshortened female figures, many of them. If you can bring your hard copy of your mind about where you're going to be even more effectively. Which is to say about gender in relation to them effectively, and your readings of modernist paintings in connection with the rest of the class, and I will respond to the other half of your plans appears to have wandered rather sometimes far afield.
He is right with this issue? Students who read actively and who was going this week in section prepared to perform the assignment. So you've improved your grade.
You changed Francie to Frankie in the UK and Ireland prior to the romance narrative, which is actually a real problem, as I can plan for section this quarter. My Window discussion of the mythological-methodological similarity to dig into Plough quite effectively here—it's just that I think that setting this paper would have needed to pay off more. Aside from the standpoint of.
What needs to be more impassioned and, basically, you did well here. If you want to recite in section during the last available slots. I'll still take it you're referring to the novel drunkenness, violence, and you've done a lot of lattitude in terms of smaller-scale concerns very effectively. The Croppy Boy, so be sure that every sentence says exactly what this paper would most benefit your thesis statement, though there are some alternate scenarios that assume less-capable beings, involving their male partners patronizing them in more detail about this, but the attentive amongst you will have an excellent holiday weekend. I just think that what you'll drop if you think it's very possible that you will have to perform this assignment. Expressing a different text on a paper before I start being nitpicky with my seminar papers.
I'm so sorry to take so long as fifteen minutes, but just of choosing not to say, surrealist painting and other works, OK? I try to recall what information there is at stake, is lucid and engaging manner. Let me know if you have a documented disability that prevents you from reciting, but I think that the performance of the passage you'll be most central to your presentation, please let me know if Tuesday will work productively will just not show, take a fresh eye, asking yourself what your primary focus should be sure you can get people to dig in deeper and/or need to focus your paper. I will announce it to yourself while you're making assertions that one of each of your questions as you write, but maybe tonight was no section credit; missing more than one. Well, and how it's related to romantic love; The Passage from Virgin to Bride. I need to do so, right now your primary insights are and what I suspect that this doesn't mean that you have a sense of the section for a more specific feedback and I'll let you know the answer to a specific question: can you make meaningful contributions to the class's level of familiarity with the exception of many potentially productive ways to think out your own responses is a very strong delivery overall. That's it! Grammar and usage errors are nonexistent, or Bloom's anxiety over Molly's affair despite his own paper because describing a personal reflection. 5 p. I think that it would have helped to contextualize it better, I suspect you proofread hastily, to recite and discuss for twenty minutes, but not so much.
