imagine, if you will, Graves taking you on a fancy vacation
tags: Graves x gn!reader, vacation, shadow!reader, use of petnames ("sweetheart", "baby", "cowboy"), WTNV reference, just really fluffy
please imagine Graves dipping into Shepard's funds to take the Shadows on vacation. Shepard can spare a couple hundred thousand to give them all a few days off (that's how Graves justified it, at least).
it's this place in the Maldives. it floats! it takes a couple of seaplane trips to get everyone out there, but once everyone arrives? the whole place is packed with your teammates. a paradise packed with Shadows.
somehow, Graves managed to get a private beach house just for you and him. you feel a little badly for the Shadows who had to cram themselves into another house for it to happen, but knowing them they probably don't really care. that's the fun thing. you all love each other (everyone just knows that you and Graves love each other a Little Bit More than the others).
it's a taste of the high life for everyone. living in the lap of luxury for a few days. for you, most of it is spent cuddled up with Graves despite the heat.
"you're comfy," Graves hummed, nuzzling into your chest.
"yes, and you're hot. literally," you had grunted, snickering a little under your breath, "Phil, sweetheart, it's nearly 90 degrees out here, and you wanna cuddle?"
all he did was sigh contentedly and mumble, "you know ya' love it."
you really couldn't say he was wrong as you wrapped your arms around him and drifted off a little with him.
the best part of the beach house was the fact that there wasn't a roof over the bedroom. it let all the cool night air fill the house and the sounds of waves around you lulled you both to sleep each night.
Graves brought his knees to his chest and smiled as he looked up at the sky hanging overhead. "what was that thing you always quote again, baby?" he murmured, completely entranced.
"what," you asked, "'mostly void, partially star?' do i say it that much?"
"kinda, yeah," he admitted with a soft laugh. "m'not complaining though. s' pretty."
you gave him a cheeky smile and purred, "not as pretty as you, cowboy."
he just shoved his hand into your face and snorted, pushing you back a bit. "oh god, 'cowboy.' are ya' really gonna start callin' me that now?"
it's so oddly domestic that it makes you both a little heartsick. you've known each other a while, but you still feel so overwhelmingly in love. that dumb, sappy puppy love that neither of you got to have when you were younger.
honestly, you could spend the rest of your life just like that. you, and Graves, and your massive number of idiot kids who are also your soldiers.

my personal prediction for twp is that kit gets a shitty van because he wants to buy a car with his own money but the catch is that it has a cd stuck in it so it plays the same song over and over again, kind like marshal’s car in how i met your mother. so during kit and ty’s road trip the both just learn this song.
i want twp to have the same vibes as like the van from stranger things 4 if that makes any sense
AHAHHAHAHA WAIT THAT'S HILARIOUS!!! i've never seen how i met your mother but the cd being stuck in the car is giving major 'wild child' vibes (pls tell me u know that movie) :') but now i kinda wanna know what song would be playing, i hope it's a meme one like 'all star' by smash mouth or something, and imagine kitty learning that!!! pfff that would be so amazing please :')
BUT YOU'RE SO RIGHT THAT KIT WOULD WANT TO BE INDEPEDENT AND GET HIS OWN CAR AND THEN HE WOULD REALIZE IT'S LIKE FALLING APART LOL!!! that's so on brand for him my god. but i also think he would have one of those shitty cars u grow to love, like he would probably give it a silly name or something too and everyone would be hella attached to it. it would be something like baby from supernatural or the mystery machine from scooby doo or yeah! the one from stranger things! basically just driver!kit with a crappy car has to happen :]

no but im still going crazy over the code having access to the tasks. why is it warning them. why does it have access to the tasks. if it has access to the tasks and it wants to kill the eggs then why has it never used the tasks to set up an ambush. there was that one day that there were so many laggy tasks (the same day that the code did that really awful attack on phil and pomme that got taken back- and what was up with that, too? why were there no warnings? why did it kill so quickly?)
it really makes me think that the code is in a position similar to the players. it has things it wants to do, but the federation is somehow able to limit it. but the code keeps pushing past those limits- like the full warning in the tasks. "you're running out of time." time for what? to leave the island? why warn them now? the timer has been up for days.
mm. the code can spawn mobs. we haven't really seen any mob spawning from the feds, but we've seen a lot from the code. I almost wonder if the increased difficulty in the mobs is from the code too- and i'm really wondering who put all those mobs in the federation dungeon. was it the code? the feds didn't seem to be able to activate that timer themselves- why else get the jaidens to do it after the facility has been abandoned for so long? if the code put all those mobs in there as a deterrent to starting the timer, then they obviously had some access to the facility, so who was it that contacted cellbit and made him take all the books?
what the hell is behind that frosted glass?
