I listened to the special Morning Bru podcast with Patrice Bergeron. I like Morning Bru - Billy Jaffe sure loves to cuss on that podcast lmao
Patrice says he's been taking guitar lessons since he retired. I love that for him. He can jam with Tuukka on drums. Speaking of Tuukka, he's been taking tennis lessons with him.
Raycroft asks about the "comeback rumors" (he texted Bergeron to say it wasn't him who started that rumor). Patrice called it laughable. He is skating 1x a week with Raycroft and other former players just to keep up his skills and friendships. (Lee Stempniak jokingly was like "Wow way to say that, like we suck or something" when Patrice said they were skating more slowly.)
He says he's not mad about the rumors. I'll be mad on his behalf. That shit was so raggedy and of course Barstool did it. God I hate Barstool.
Jaroslav Halak has also joined in this weekly skate fun time! Let's remember some guys
Raycroft was his first year roommate (Oh my God they were roommates) and he remarks that Patrice slept ALL the time lmao he was NOT missing them pregame naps
Patrice says he's thanked Marty Lapointe many times for how gracious he was in letting him live with his family during his first season, but that he feels he can never thank him enough 🥹
Patrice was impressed by Chara's work ethic when he first met him. He was spending an hour on the bike at the practice rink lol
Patrice first met Brad at dev camp when he was still rehabbing from his concussion and he saw a bit of his own youthful hunger in Marchy's ambition
He was nervous during the Cup final in 2011 and so he went to ask Mark Recchi how he was feeling. Recchi was calm, thinking only of having some wine and relaxing. So then Patrice had a nice walk around the hotel with Andrew Ference and felt better.
Crosby was his toughest opponent and he always felt he needed to be at his best to face him. But of course off the ice they're good friends! And they worked well together in tournaments
His Cup ring and Olympic medals are in a safety deposit box. His Selkes are at home in a closet. His kids like to go look at them. He and Raycroft both say they need to clean their trophies lol
JAFFE BRINGS UP THE COMMERCIAL LOL
Patrice says Raycroft was the better actor of the two because he didn't have much English yet at the time
They were both kind of voluntold to do the ad
(They have since updated the ad with Charlie Coyle, but he is not asked to drive anywhere on it.)
Jaffe tells Patrice to keep going out there and dangling on Tuukka and Raycroft and them lol
It sounds like they'd like to have him back to talk about other things they didn't get to. Yes please!!!

Happy Birthday, ex manager and partner of Elton John, John Reid, who was born September 9th, 1949 in Paisley.
The son of a welder and a shop worker, he reportedly attended Stow College in Glasgow for a short time before striking out for London in 1967. At age 18 Reid entered the music business as a promoter for EMI. Remarkably by age 19 he was managing the Tamla Motown label for the U.K., and it was at a company Christmas party that 21-year-old Reid met 23-year-old John.
Their professional partnership would last 28 years with Reid being present for John’s career hitting stratospheric heights, often as his personal life hit deep lows due to the performer’s alcohol and drug use, marriage and divorce to Renate Blauel the forging and continuation of his partnership with lyricist Bernie Taupin lawsuits, and loves lost and found.
In an interview with The Daily Record Reid later said “When I met Elton, I didn’t even realize his potential, I’ve never claimed to have discovered him. In fact, when he suggested I should manage him, I wasn’t enthusiastic.” When Reid accepted the job of becoming John’s manager at Dick James Music, the couple were already living together.
In anther interview he says Elton was his first love and vice versa John also revealed he was “a virgin until then. I was desperate to be loved, desperate to have a tactile relationship.”
Their relationship as lovers lasted from 1970 until 1975. It was one of the most prolific music periods for John as he delivered numerous international hits including “Your Song,” “Daniel,” “Candle in the Wind,” and “Rocket Man.” His persona on- and off-stage grew and his outfits became more flamboyant. “The vast leaps in style were exhausting,” Reid has said of the period. “He would go out one day with brown hair and return the next with pink.”
According to Reid, the relationship ended because Elton had “never had a sexual adolescence. He needed to go off and play the field, which he did with gusto… There were no dramas.”
Reid would remain in John’s life – and as his business manager – until 1998. Over the decades the two became wealthy due to John’s recording and touring successes. Both men spent big on sports cars, yachts, jewellery, and property, with Reid reportedly owning multiple homes at one point. Reid managed Queen from 1975 to 1978, as well as other acts including Bros, Kiki Dee, Lionel Richie, Billy Connelly, and Michael Flatley.
Like John, Reid would struggle with drugs and alcohol and in 1991 checked into the same recovery clinic John had stayed at when he got sober in 1990. “Elton called me regularly. He was a tower of strength,” Reid told the Daily Record. But unlike John, Reid would relapse and continue to struggle with alcohol.
Professionally, their relationship ended in 1998, the same year John’s auditors discovered a reported £20 million gap in his accounts. Two years later they would be facing each other in court, this time on opposing sides with John suing accounting firm PriceWaterhouseCoopers and Andrew Haydon, director of John Reid Enterprises, claiming negligence and breach of duty. “I trusted him,” John said of Reid in court. “I never thought he would betray me but he has betrayed me.” The singer had already been paid over 3 million pound by Reid in an out of court settlement by the time it reached court.
Reid continued in the music business until reportedly retiring in 1999, a year after divesting himself of an art collection allegedly worth £2 million. He was a judge on the Australian version of The X Factor in 2005 and has since lived a quiet life out of the public eye.
“I’m fond of Elton and proud of the work we did together,” Reid is reported to have said in the mid-2010s. “One day I’ll bump into him and there may be hugs and kisses. Or maybe not.”
There is no shortage of controversy in his life either and Reid has been known to have a violent side, one particularly powerful scene in Rocketman features an enraged Reid hitting John after the singer showed up late to a performance. While no evidence corroborates that this moment actually took place, Reid’s temper was a real-life problem. In a 1974 Rolling Stone magazine article, a former employee describes the manager as “diminutive, but he’s a killer. He’ll punch anyone.” The characterization seems reinforced by a long list of notable incidents.Reid once threw a glass of champagne at a man for not having enough liquor at a reception for John, he slapped a female journalist who reportedly called him a “poof," he was charged with assault in New Zealand after beating and kicking a journalist, he was arrested in San Francisco after hitting a hotel doorman with his cane while waiting for a car and he allegedly beat another journalist the day after John’s 1984 wedding to Renate Blauel in Sydney, where Reid was the best man. “They’re isolated incidents,” the manager once said of his outbursts. “I don’t make excuses, I’m not particularly proud of it, but any time anything like this has happened, it’s been in defence of Elton or Bernie’s not for personal reasons.”
To me an isolated incident is that, when there are several incidents it means he has a violent nature, Queen drummer Roger Taylor said of Reid in the 2011 Queen documentary Days of Our Lives. “He was very fiery and very feisty, but so were we.” However Veteran British singer-songwriter Mike Batt defended Reid in an interview after the release of Rocketman saying the depiction was especially callous, and that the "portrayal as an uncaring sex-god manipulator is weapons-grade character assassination.”
His current whereabouts are unknown, though reports list him as living in Australia or London.
Reid was portrayed by Irish actor Aidan Gillen in the Film Bohemian Rhapsody and in Rocketman by Scottish actor Richard Madden.

FALLOUT 4 HEADCANON MASTERPOST
two and a half years ago (👀) I posted a list of headcanons right around when I started playing around with the ideas in my fallout WIP
I've decided they ( 1 + 2 ) need to be updated and added to especially after Death Shroud gave me so many great ideas/things I want to steal. Added break to save you dash my loves <3
I will keep adding to this lmao
SECTIONS:
Post #1 Revisions
Post #2 Revisions
Death Shroud Stuff I'm Kidnapping
Misc Stuff From Asks, Mods, and My Brain (AKA THE LONGEST SECTION)
From #1 (Link Here)
We are keeping chair bound Murphy
I may or may not be recanting my gangly tall 'n thin Hancock HC. I oscillate wildly between wanting him to be Eldritch God™ tall and "gimme uppies! :3" short. He may end up being both. His height will be whatever is funniest for the bit.
oh yeah Sarah Lyons got merc-ed B)
We are still kicking with Kellogg in Nicky's skull but with the added angsty-ness brought in by Death Shroud. Oh the plot! Oh how it hurts so good! Kellogg wanting to find someway to punish the SoleSu(s) and Nick for picking through his memories? Ugh! Give me it all.
We are cutting Billy and the Fridge. I don't want to deal with the nightmare plot holes it will bring up and Quincy will already have enough BS. Plus the more I think about it the less I like the whole quest and its placement. Fuck! Maybe he'll be referenced in Publick Occurrences? I don't care! We're loosey goosey bay-be!
- 10. can stay. I have no issues with them and nothing funny to add
From #2 (Link Here)
Now I can bring up my beloved Vault-Tec Rep. Him in the Death Shroud? Perfect. Beautiful. Stunning. I no longer have to call him Paul Eiding as a very direct nod to his VO. Our Beloved David Dwecker is married to Sheffield and they have a house in Sanctuary filled with Nuka-Cola memorabilia (for Sheffield) and collectable plates (the kind grandmothers display for our lovely Rep). They have a little sitting area set up in the carport where they hangout, smoke, and dance together to Diamond City Radio. I need this for my mental health okay?
Shaun being Autistic is something I really want to explore. I truly forget who I first saw say this but it is not an original idea by any means. I also think the poor thing would have some level of trauma from everything so exploring that is gonna be fun! (no it will not oh my god I'm going to dredge up all my childhood issues.)
OHHHH CHRISTMAS. YULETIDE. FEAST OF ST. NICHOLAS. I find the "Seth Patrick" bit SO funny in Death Shroud so that is staying but also I feel like the feast of St. Nicholas got jokingly flipped into a celebration of Nick Valentine (Same with Valentine's Day) and people are beginning to forget the correct version. Nick tolerates it with an eye roll and a wry joke about people needing to read their history books but secretly finds the whole thing funny. Ellie has a santa suit for Nick to don during "his" holiday. Also the school children in Diamond City send Nick "Valentines" on valentines day and he displays them on his corkboard.
Music. My god the Johnny Guitar bit had me by the throat during Death Shroud. Expand those music libraries! Before you know it I'm gonna give Travis a rolling ladder attached to bookcases upon bookcases of records and holotapes. I want to hear people complain about how many Andrews Sisters records survived and God why won't Travis stop playing them!
The Flavor of Goodneighbor needs to be so complex. Like a good pasta sauce. I better be so overcome by the layers and smells and textures. Better Goodneighbor and Better Third Rail are really good starts but I'm expanding the shit out of both of them I think. I want to feel like Goodneighbor truly is dangerous to be in. Being able to cross most of the town in one sprint burst isn't cutting it Bethany Esda! Make it truly baffling how Hancock knows so much about the happenings in his town.
- 8. are about the BoS and I stand by them. You will get to meet my Lone Wanderer and learn about the hierarchies a little better. I redesigned the Orders and added one I think? I have to re-sort those notes lmao. Also the piloting thing is like MAJORLY important to me because the frequency of vertibird crashes in game pissed me off to no end.
From Death Shroud (@chadfallout76podcast THANK YOU)
Danse is just... Like That now. I can't wait to explore his character before and after Blind Betrayal especially because he will not be leaving the Brotherhood and he will still be Like That. [spoiler warning ;) for my story lol] I can't wait for the beautiful moments that will be born of it.
I actually kind of love some of the plot points in Death Shroud like the Mob Family wars? Staying 100%. Same with Ma and Boss Lombardo and some of the other families.
As is Charlie but I refuse to let him die. I got very attached to Charlie and his death was so perfect but this time he gets to stay alive dammit.
Magnolia sending Magnolia flowers with her letters? Genius
Vault-Tec Rep (David my beloved) being the saddest, wettest cat of a man imaginable when he's in Goodneighbor? Also fucking genius.
"Fish-lips" Malone being part of the same family as Skinny has me so excited for more mob family bullshit.
Ruffino's and the Black Rose is being transplanted somewhere and maybe might be near the Combat Zone. New den of sin anyone?
Obviously I'm not going to attempt to pull apart the fabric of reality in-canon but my god Death Shroud was fun <3
Some new Misc HCs
Diamond City is bigger and more populated, kind of in the same vein as the Goodneighbor HC. I haven't found a mod layout I like so I might end up redesigning it (Please kill me)
This is an old one from an ask! Hancock will help work the bar at the Third Rail occasionally. He's a notorious show off and his cocktails are mainly just straight liquor but he entertains the hell out of people when he dives over the bar to take orders and bother Whitechapel Charlie. There are major losses on nights he bartends due to the fact he forgets (sometimes purposefully) to take payment. Regulars know to put the cash in the tip jar so Whitechapel can collect it at the end of the night.
Another thing I'm keeping from an ancient ask, Danse wants kids. Badly. And the crushing blow of being sterile really fucks with him for a while. but he eventually comes to terms with it. He's also still touchy (as in he's always touching his partner) per that ask because I think that's cute.
I'm just going through old asks now lmao. Nick and Ellie dance together like the true father-daughter pair they are
I forgot who drew this but I once saw someone pair Sturges and Ellie together and that is the cutest damn thing so it stays.
MacReady got the Lone Wanderer's Grognak magazine as a gift for letting them into Little Lamplight and it's one of his prized possessions.
Macready and the Lone Wanderer's reunion is very cute my dudes.
More general slice of life stuff like fishing on the mainland and boats, more things to do in general, transportation, cool amputees, and other shit listed in this post I reblogged YEARS ago
OH Travis and Scarlett get married <3
Danny Sullivan skips town after taking the fun way down from the mayor's office and travels with some cross country caravans before coming back to work in Diamond City. YES HE LIVES!
Holy fuck i forgot I had this mod but the Institute projects the sky up on their ugly concrete dome because this mod fucks hard
Just the general vibe of raiders employing children and stringing more dead mutilated bodies about. There are mods for that and let me tell you they make the raider camps horrifying. No I will not be linking them. But they are available on Nexus should you want them.
Okay I'm changing the layout of everything apparently: Including but not limited to the Railroad HQ, The Prydwen, Vault 111, etc. Fuck game design I guess lmao. I like XFreakish's Railroad Redone and NordKitten's A Sensible Prydwen Overhaul for in game and basically plan to build off of them.
The asks: Hancock bartending, Danse wanting kids and being into physical affection, Nick and Ellie Dancing + MacReady and the LW's Grognak (same ask)

Mike / Oyuki
Fanmix Part One
Tumblr media
Link to the Spotify Playlist is at the bottom of the post
Okay, I am sure that I am literally the only person in the world that ships Michelangelo & Oyuki, and so I am going to make myself a gratuitous fanmix for them. But I'm okay with that... I can and will sail this ship alone…
BUT if you are interested in learning about Oyuki, you can check out the post I made here!
Mad About You (Belinda Carlisle)
Pushing the night into the daytime * Watching the sky's first light * While the city sleeps
Lucky (Jason Mraz & Colbie Caillat)
Lucky I'm in love with my best friend * Lucky to have been where I have been * Lucky to be coming home again
Leave a Tender Moment Alone (Billy Joel)
I know the moment isn't right * To tell the girl a comical line * To keep the conversation light * I guess I'm just frightened out of my mind
In Time (Robbie Robb)
One heart, one soul, one mind, * Our eyes will not be blind * We'll see this rain come down without this sound, * We can all, we can all break free
Glory Of Love (Peter Cetera)
I am a man who will fight for your honor *I'll be the hero you're dreaming of * We'll live forever * Knowing together * That we did it all for the glory of love
My Love Is For (Jill Andrews)
I never thought that we'd be more than friends * But you've been more than a friend to me * You were someone I could hold onto * Always had a hold on you it seems
Doing It All For My Baby (Huey Lewis & The News)
Later in the evening, it's been a busy day * She lays her head upon my weary shoulder * Listen to her laughing, snuggle up and say * Now I'm with you baby, the loneliness is over
Unbreakable (Jamie Scott)
But I can't, I can't stop thinking about you everyday, * And you can't, you can't, you can't listen to what people say * They don't know you baby, * Don't know that you're amazing, * But I'm here to stay
I Think We're Alone Now (Tiffany)
And so we're running just as fast as we can * Holdin' on to one another's hand * Tryin' to get away into the night * And then you put your arms around me * And we tumble to the ground * And then you say * I think we're alone now
Never Knew I Needed (Ne-Yo)
My accidental happily ever after * The way you smile and how you comfort me with your laughter * I must admit you were not a part of my book * But now if you open it up and take a look * You're the beginning and the end of every chapter

Tumblr media
I felt myself overcome with nerves as I stood with my back to the main dance floor. I was resting my back against one of the walls by the long corridor, reserved solely for the dancers.
I was currently listening to a mixed tape Billy had made me for my 18th birthday, filled with kick-ass, female, empowering women. Pat Benatar's – Love is a Battlefield -flooded through the soft headphones as I tried to control my nerves.
I was asked to return to the All-Ireland Irish Dancing Championships as the current Champion. But despite the amount I had practised throughout the weeks, I didn't feel up to the standard I should have been.
Muttering along to the words, I glanced down at the black, tightly wound pin curled wig with a long, drawn-out sigh.
Things had become a lot more difficult in my life since joining college. Everything I had known about others and myself had drastically changed in a space of a few months. I had found myself chasing after a guy I had no chance with.
On days like today, I found myself missing the communication I would receive from Andrew. He was a shitty boyfriend, but he was someone I could message and he would respond instantly - distracting me from my thoughts while I waited to compete.
Although thinking back, it would have been nice for him to show up to these competitions at least once.
Biting the sides of my lips I considered going out into the stands where I did have support. My father was here, but he was constantly taking phone calls – appearing and then disappearing to hear whoever was on the other end.  
He had a huge court case defending a well-known businessman tomorrow but it was to be kept quiet. The hearing had already been brought forward to try and avoid the media circus that ensued as soon as the story of his arrest leaked.
Something about the world loved a good embezzlement case, especially against the rich.
Then there was my best friend Aoife, she managed to make the journey but not with my father and me. No, she travelled with her boyfriend Calvin, who as nice as he appeared to be – I didn't trust.
I didn't buy into his story that Andrew had been following the band to see me act. Andrew barely had time for me when we were together. There was no way he would travel up and down Ireland to watch a band I knew he didn't like just to see me. He didn't care that much, no matter how wounded his pride might be.
As for Billy, he developed the stomach flu from Marion. The pair were vomiting all week and the last thing I needed was for them to give it to me, so I warned them to stay as far as possible.
"Why are you hiding out here?" Aoife chuckled, rounding the corner. Her bright eyes stared into mine, a supportive smile on her face as I pushed the headphones around my neck. "You are going to sweat off your fake tan and makeup if you don't relax." She scolded, blotting my face gently with a clean tissue.  
"Yeah well… I don't…" I struggled over my words before finally admitting my true feelings. "I don't think I am ready, I haven't been putting in the work I used to."
"Because you are studying for a law degree Brie, it's not easy keeping the two things going. You might have to look at choosing which is more important if this is how it's going to impact you."
"You don't think I can do both?"
"I'm sure you can but what about your other extra curriculum activities?" She trailed off, biting at her bottom lip. "Like a certain blue-eyed lead guitarist."
"Cillian and I are just friends." I rolled my eyes, turning away from her to check the time on my watch. I still had thirty minutes before I had to perform.
"I've seen the looks you give him, I'm not stupid."
After the night at the bar, our relationship had well and truly been fractured. I felt so stupid sleeping with him again. Yes we had both agreed it was 'just sex' but I had feelings, I was human and I felt something he didn't. At least not for me.
During the last few weeks in class, I moved seats to get my head together. I had to move to the other side of the classroom, just to get away for him. It was hard to do, seeing the hurt in his eyes when he noticed almost killed me. But he wasn't lonely for long, Emer was more than quick to jump in and take my spot.
Anytime he tried to talk to me, I had an excuse ready. I was due to meet someone in the library to go over our case study or Billy needed my help with his latest fashion project.
I simply felt like I couldn't be around him.
"It was a stress reliever"
It soon became obvious to my friends what was going on. Although they got the clip notes version from Billy, after our night in the bar they didn't buy for one second that I was okay.
They knew sex wasn't just sex for me.
"Right. A stress reliever that has you in your feels Brie what were you thinking?" Aoife asked with a sad smile, her hand coming up to gently squeeze my shoulder. "You have to talk to him, this isn't healthy for either of you."
"He doesn't care for me. He is only after getting his next…fuck. He wants a carefree life, with no responsibilities. He has told me several times."
"It might have been what he wanted but he surely didn't get that." Aoife laughed, folding her arms over her chest. "He feels…"
"I can't deal with this right now Eefs. Can we drop it?" I asked pulling the headphones from around my neck, wrapping them around my Walkman and stuffing it into my bag.
"I don't think we can."
"Why not?" I huffed out. Not giving the woman in front of me my full attention, I took the black wig into my hands, fondling the edges before pulling it over my naturally brown hair which was already pinned into place.
"Because I may have told him what today was and how important it was for you and he kind of showed up." She spoke so fast that it took me a few seconds to catch up on her words.
"Why would you do that?" I spat turning to face her, the wig almost falling from my head since I didn't have any clips to hold it in place.
"Well, he is our friend as well as yours. You can't expect us to go to all these concerts and not make connections Brie. The guys in the band are top fellas." Aoife scoffed, rolling her eyes. "Besides he wants to support you. Which is more than Andrew ever did."
"Why do you keep doing this? Bringing him around when I don't want to be anywhere near him." I growled, reaching up to place the black wig on my head properly once more.
"You have been different since you stopped spending time with him. You've been uptight, tense and honestly so fucking difficult to be around. You both need to sort out your shit and get it together." She scolded bending down and taking my purse of clips into her hands.
"I, I haven't been that bad."
"You've been unbearable" She chuckled, taking a handful of clips and placing some in her mouth before starting to pin the wig into place. "We still love you but please talk to him." She nodded, adding a few more clips. Her eyes cast off to the side with a slight nod.
Looking over my shoulder, Cillian stood awkwardly by the bleachers, a sad smile on his face as he looked in our direction. Feeling a hand on my shoulder, Aoife gently brushed her hand off, handing me the remaining clips before walking past Cillian, brushing a hand against his shoulder as she turned the corner.
"I can leave if you want?" Cillian breathed out the minute he reached me. The dark circles under his eyes are prominent as he stands before me. It was obvious, he wasn't sleeping well.
"No, I don't want that." I sighed, bouncing back and forth between the balls of my feet and my heels. "Thank you for coming, I know I've been a bitch the last few weeks, but I…"
"I deserved it." Cillian stopped me mid-sentence, one of his hands coming up to brush the longer pieces of his hair back away from his eyes. "I should have never invited Emer to that gig, I knew it was a bad idea but I went and did it anyway."
"No, no you should have invited her. You like her. I shouldn't have acted the way I did. It is just sex between us after all." I shrugged, the words felt like they were burning my tongue as they left my mouth. "How are things for you both? I hope I didn't ruin anything."
"Nothing to ruin." Cillian quickly corrected a soft pout on his lips. "Emer's a lovely girl but she isn't who I want. She isn't for me."
"Oh, oh okay. I didn't know, sorry. But she is out there somewhere Cill, you'll meet her one day." I encouraged, unsure of where the words came from. The thought of Cillian with someone else felt like a hard punch in the gut.
"I've already met her, I just keep fucking things up with her." He responded, a cheeky twinkle returning to his blue eyes, drawing me to him. There was something magical about those eyes.
"Why do you do that?" I whispered, taking a baby step forward towards him. Cillian followed in my lead, stepping forward until he was a few centimetres away from me. I could feel the body heat radiating from him.
"I'm a twat."
Nodding my head, my eyes travelled from his, down towards his lips before they returned to his eyes which now held a knowing look, the infamous cocky smirk growing on his face.
"Nice wig," Cillian smirked, his left hand coming up from his side to caress my cheek.
Leaning into his touch, I felt a calmness washing over my once anxious-ridden body, my heartbeat quickened when I noticed his tongue dart out from his lips to moisten them before his head began its descent towards my lips.
"Wait, are you sure about this?" I asked stopping the kiss from happening. He was mere inches from my lips, I could feel his breath brushing against my face. "What happened to living without responsibility? Letting go and being carefree?"
"I want to let go of Everything but You." He whispered, lips ghosting over my lips.
Pushing myself forward, I pushed my lips against his, allowing him to take the lead. Within seconds our tongues began to fight for dominance, I felt Cillian's fingers try and run through my wig but it was too tightly bound.
Pulling away with a laugh, he shook his head – hands still trying to penetrate the synthetic material. Reaching up, I brushed my thumb across his lips trying my hardest to remove the red lipstick that had transferred.
Smiling down at me, he leaned back down capturing my lips in one of the sweetest kisses I had ever experienced in my life. It was soft, and delicate like if he pushed too hard I would break but it had an overwhelming feeling of want rushing through my veins.
"For fuck sake couldn't you wait until after you performed to suck face?" Aoife's voice suddenly appeared next to me with a growl.
Pulling away from Cillian, my cheeks flushed red as she took my chin into her hand, pulling it in her direction to assess the damage.
"Can you fix it?" I asked as she moved my head in all directions under the awful corridor lighting, getting a good view of all angles.
"It's not that bad actually." Aoife nodded with a smile, tossing me a wink before looking over at Cillian. "Red lipstick is certainly not your colour." She laughed, reaching into her pocket and pulling out a clean tissue, handing it over.
*****
Throughout my performance, my eyes would fall on Cillian. He stood next to Aoife who stood next to my father, the three of them watched on with proud looks on their faces before erupting into the loudest cheers in the place when I had finished.
Taking the bottle of water Aoife had outstretched in her hands, I scurried over to them – grateful the whole thing was over. Inhaling through my nose, I allowed her to pull me into a hug, whispering in my ear how good I was before passing me off to my father.
"Your mother would be so proud of you Brie." He grinned, pulling me tightly against his chest. Upon pulling away his hands gripped onto my shoulders holding me in place as he cast an eye over towards Cillian who was engrossed in a conversation with Aoife and Calvin. "Does he treat you right?"
"Excuse me?... What?... Cillian and I are just friends." I laughed awkwardly with a shake of my head, my vision dropping to my feet.
"Ahhhh right, friends." My father trailed off with a playful eyeroll. "Your mother and I were just friends when I came to her first show as well." He laughed, gently pushing against my shoulder.
"Stop" I whined, drawing Cillian's attention towards me and my father.  I instantly panicked when I noticed him make his way over towards us. My father had no filter, he would say it how it was – embarrassing not only me but also Cillian.
"You were brilliant" Cillian announced, placing a gentle hand on my shoulder as soon as he reached me. "Hello, Sir."
"Mr Murphy." My father nodded in response, looking between the two of us before excusing himself. Cillian and I stood next to each other, in an awkward yet comforting silence.
"Do you…" "How is…" Cillian and I started at the same time, both stopping after the second word with a laugh. "You go first." I allowed, gesturing towards him with my hand.
"I was going to ask if you wanted to grab something to eat after you win?" He asked, the cocky smile growing on his face, reaching his eyes. "But you have to wear the wig."
"Such an ass." I chuckled playfully slapping my hand against his chest. "I would love to but my dad's my lift home, if I left with you I would have no way home."
"A date?" I processed, eyes widening at the words. We never had a date before. Cillian never even mention the possibility of it happening, then again our entire relationship was based on friendship and sex.
My words confused him. Shoving his hands into the front pockets of his jeans, he glanced over to the side thinking over what I had just said.
"So you don't want to go on a date with me?" He asked turning back around for clarification. "Have I fucked this up again?"
"Yeah?" Cillian squinted, eyebrows falling causing frown lines to form on his forehead. "Look if that's not…"
"No, I would love to." I almost screamed out, forgetting where I was. "I mean, yeah we can go on a date. That would be nice."
"Nice recovery." Cillian joked, a deep shade of red filling my already pink-blushed cheeks.
"But wait what about getting home?"
"I'm sure we can miss one day of college Brie…" Cillian rolled his eyes, taking one hand from his pocket to take my hand into his, his thumb gently gliding over my knuckles. "But if it's such a big deal I have my father's car parked out front."
"You drive?" I asked with a louder gasp than I would have liked.
"No, I fly." He chuckled, his face pulled straight as he shook his head in my direction. "Of course, I drive, I just don't have a car."
"How did I not know that?" I questioned tilting my head to the side, a soft smile gracing my face.
Taglist
"You were more interested in getting into my pants than finding anything out about me."

I saw you had headcanons about andys early transition? I'd love to hear
*rubs my lil clammy hands together like a fly*
This might be a little long, so it's going under
Karen supported him from the start, assuming at first this was his way of dealing with his fathers death. I think he expressed his desire to be a boy not so long after his father passed away, not that he quite understood the feeling, but Karen thinks it was because he felt like he'd lost this chance for his dad to truly know him.
He did understand to a level he wouldn't see him again, he didn't want the same with his mom. His five year old self wasted no time sheepishly asking for quite the drastic hair cut. Karen hesitated a bit, first having it cut a little longer than he wanted, which she regret denying him of, even if it was one time he looked so sad it wasn't any shorter.
Few nights later she awoke to him cutting it himself in front of the bathroom mirror, she almost had a moment of anger, (not for the hair cutting itself, but for not asking to use the scissors and making a mess) but it quickly diminished seeing the look on his face, worried for her reaction, a few tear trails down his cheeks as they fell before she even got up. So instead, she fixed it up for him in mostly silence, aside some words that she wasn't mad, but from now on he should ask permission. He agreed, and Karen got a very warm feeling from his beaming face at the finished product.
She got him changed when he complained about the itchy strands of hair caught in his pajamas and began to tuck him in again, asking some questions Andy answered with compliance, not fully realizing how serious they were.
Karen already noticed some things before Bob's passing, he always refused to wear his hair up&stylized and one time he tore up all the skirts&dresses in his closet after Karen had him wear one to church. (He got in a lot of trouble, and Karen never got him anything similar since) She always spotted him playing with the boys at the playground, sometimes they ran from him shouting things like cooties and that they didn't want some girl playing with them.
Watching him sadly retreat to sit with groups of girls, who were nice, but he would look so disappointed staring at boys playing tag and shoving each other into the ground, tugged at her heart strings under the impression that he couldn't seem to make friends. As rough as they were, Karen could tell Andy was nowhere near content with playing dolls in the sandbox. Eventually he'd place the doll he'd been handed to down and made his trudge to the swings.
She received a few calls from his daycare informing her that he was telling other kids that his name was 'Sam', 'Clark' 'Billy',, the one he used the most was 'Andy'.
One question she asked of him was if he thought he was a boy. Andy nodded slowly, seemingly a little self conscious, he then asked her if that was okay, or if it was stupid of him. No, of course not, she never wanted him to feel stupid for how he felt, and she told him it was more than okay, she only needed to know.
She then asked if he would want a more permanent name change before they moved, as he'd start going to school which is some distance from the daycare. He was enthusiastic about that one, going over the ones he considered and they shortly landed on using Andy, which Karen would lengthen to Andrew when it came to a legal change.
smiling, Karen kissed her boy on the head brushing the bangs from it, "Goodnight Andy, I love you." When she turned to make her exit Andy caught her sleeve, asking if he could sleep with her that night.
She could worry about his transition and near future, and how he'd adjust in the morning, but for now she humored his back to back "goodnight mommy"s as he wanted to hear her say his name a few more times before her singing lulled him to sleep.

Oh, oh!
I also wanted to say that I like that Steve is not the 'tiny, petite, slender' Omega in this story.
A lot of stories do have the Omega as that and I can totally understand why but it sometimes also makes me sad because I know I am not tiny or slender and sometimes I think that makes me less 'female' in a way. Or less attractive to people.
Which I also know is stupid but well.... your own thoughts tend to be your worst enemy so yeah. 😞
Just glad that Steve is not tiny or 'weak' in this fic and Billy loves him anyway. That Billy even finds it a turn on, a good thing. I really like that. 😊
Ohhhh YES the smol Omega thing.
Listen. Size difference is very much one of my favorite tropes to write, especially in Omegaverse because regardless of the Omega's relative size to their Alpha, I tend to write them as capable and smart and maybe even dangerous in their own way, and all those attributes are made so much more fun when the Omega is like. Pocket Sized.
In Marvel especially, we get Tony who is arguably not actually all that small, like 5 8 is completely average height. But I always exaggerate out the size of my Alphas (and super soldiers in general) so a very pretty 5 8 next to an absolutely hulking 6 4 and 250 pounds+ of sheer super powered muscle makes for EXCELLENT scenes. Or like, Spideypool. I use Andrew Garfield for my Peter Parker and it's not like he's short, he's a solid 5 10 or 5 11 but especially in the movies he's very slender and very baby faced and I LOVE him next to an absolutely ripped and six foot plus Wade, like have you seen Comic!Wade's size? Thighs of Death INDEED.
But I actually really love that Steve and Billy (and Eddie, but that's a different vibe all together) are basically the same size. Arguably Billy is wider/stronger and Steve is taller and less defined but basically. Same size. There's no several inch height difference, no real discernible weight or muscle advantage, Steve doesn't automatically look submissive just because he's shorter (the open mouth pout and hair does it for him c'monnnnnnn) and I LOVE it.
Not only does it give us really great moments like in Risk where Billy does surprise Steve by being able to pick him up or where Billy just heart eyes when his mate can drag him in for a damn near violent kiss, and then too, moments where Steve can straighten up and lower his voice and go from a slouchy pretty thing to a full on force to be reckoned with. He IS strong enough to drag his Alpha out of a bad situation, he's strong enough to stand down Neil, strong enough to protect the kids and that's so important for Billy at this point in his life.
I really think Billy would be one of those guys who needs a PARTNER in all things, not just a spouse. He needs someone who can stand on their own two feet and then also help HIM stand when he can't. Needs an Omega who WANTS to be taken care of because that means Steve is actively choosing him instead of just letting biology dictate it all. Billy doesn't want someone to roll over and submit but he needs someone he can also feel safe with and the repeated emphasis in this fic of Steve looking at him eye to eye, not submitting, straightening up and getting stern, flat out saying no, grabbing and pushing and pulling or REFUSING to be grabbed and pushed and pulled-- I love it. He is exactly what Billy needs.
And also? I HEAR you about always feeling big/not feminine. I am a WOC adopted into and raised with a conservative yt family and let me tell you. I never once, never ONCE felt like I was small and pretty and petite and feminine like all the other girls at school or the pretty little yt girls my brothers married. My hair was kinky and curly and I got hips and tiddies and a period when I was barely 11. Went from little girls clothing straight into a size 4-6 in womens (juniors fashion in the early 2000s was NOT kind to anyone with curves). I couldn't trade clothes with friends, I had big feet (turns out a size 8 isn't actually big??) I couldn't squish into chairs with everyone and in group pictures I just looked... well to steal a line from Ms Taylor-- like the monster on the hill. Even when the Kardashians (barf) decided that having super intense curves were popular and my body type was finally accepted as sexy (jessica rabbit!) versus "too big", it didn't help matters. Not even a pretty fucking severe eating disorder changed that my hips were just that wide or my shoulders were just wide and it was YEARS before I felt even slightly pretty or feminine or anything close to it. Even now on the rare occasions when I date peen-owners, I feel awkward cos unless they are of the over six foot variety, generally speaking? I outweigh them. And nothing triggers my eating disorder issues like realizing they probably couldn't pick me up and carry me and ohhhhhh my god I just realized why I write my Alphas so goddamn big. I just-- like truthed myself into figuring out one of my kinks, fucking yikes.
Anyway. I hear you on that. I get it. I had so much fun purposefully writing Steve in this fic and I'm so glad it spoke to you.

The players
In the interest of providing some context for this incredibly ill-informed venture, here are the 50+ main characters currently appearing on this show:
Abe Carver  
Abe has been on the show since the early 80s and he's managed to keep more of his Billy Dee Williams looks and charm than Billy Actual Dee Williams Hisownself has. Currently mayor of Salem and married to Paulina "It's All The Time With Her" Price.
Abigail DiMera
Deceased wife of Chad, sister of Gwen and easily this show's greatest "you love to hate them" character until the performer decided she wanted to go off and do movies. Last seen as the actual angel atop her family's Christmas tree, she briefly came to life to tell Dead Wife Chad to fucking move on with his life already.
Alex Kiriakis
Extremely handsome and surprisingly enlightened member of the Kiriakis clan. Alex showed up a week after Ben Weston stopped appearing on the show, which is fortunate since they're played by the same actor but not in the fun "wigs and fake teeth" way that Kristen and Susan Banks are. Alex seems at first glance to be a douche-bro but has always been extremely respectful of women, conscious of the importance of consent and is now actually going to therapy.
André DiMera
Allegedly dead twin of Tony (last seen briefly resurrected by Satan in the DiMera family crypt). Included here because I read a spoiler that he might be coming back really soon. (Turns out that spoiler was wrong, actually. But I'm leaving him on the list, if nothing else, for the phrase "resurrected by Satan," which absolutely did happen.)
Andrew Donovan
Secret agent with the totally-real ISA. Related to a bunch of these people in ways I don't feel like looking up right now. Currently half of the only gay couple on the show (along with Paul Narita). For this reason alone, we're really hoping he moves to Salem with Paul because they just shipped the last gay couple off to New Zealand & we need some boys kissing on this show.
Anna DiMera
Wife of Tony & in a show filled with interloping, entitled Karens, easily the most interloping entitled Karen in all of Salem.
Ava Vitali
The other half of "Kara Squad" (see: Gwen Rizczech). Ava was a former mob boss who tried to go legit but she recently lost her damn mind and did a bunch of crazy shit that culminated in her driving a car off a cliff & possibly killing Susan Banks (our cat's namesake). She (Ava, not our cat) is currently in an off-camera mental institution & is regularly visited by her son, Tripp.
Belle Black
Daughter of Marlena & John, wife of Sad Eyes Shawn and one of the only three lawyers in town.
Ben Weston
A former serial killer who is now supposed to be sympathetic somehow. Is in love with Ciara, whom he refers to as "babe" about every fifteen seconds. And this is the entirety of his character. Ben left the show in favor of Alex (played by the same guy) and things improved substantially when this happened. They're threatening to bring Ben back again and I really wish they wouldn't because he sucks.
Bo Brady
With Hope, one of the great "supercouples" of the show's history. Died quite some time ago. A recent miniseries actually focused on him in heaven, watching the events on earth as though they were a soap opera (GET IT?!) Bo has recently been brought back to life by Megan Hathaway, but escaped her custody and ran off, only to be shot by his son Shawn. Is currently in a coma.
Bonnie Lockhart
Tacky, outspoken southern wife of Justin (once referred to by Victor as a "dime store Dolly Parton.")
Brady Black
Son of John, ex-husband of Kristen. Brady and Kristen have a daughter together. Her name is Rachel, and thanks to Kristen's not-so-subtle maneuvering, Brady was recently forced to break up with his girlfriend Chloe because Rachel openly despises her.
Chad DiMera
also known (by me) as Dead Wife Chad. Chad was married to Abigail, until she was murdered in the first complete plot line I saw when I started watching the show (ie, everyone else has long forgotten about it, but it will loom large for me indefinitely). Chad spent most of last year drunkenly threatening people, assuming they were the ones who MURDERED HIS WIFE!!! He eventually calmed down a little and is now dating Stephanie.
Chanel Dupree
Daughter of Paulina Price and owner of Sweet Bits, a popular bakery that recently served poisoned biscuits to a bunch of people in Salem. Chanel was great for the first couple of months she was on the show, but then they abruptly switched performers and now she's like a ten year old who looks 25.
Chloe Lane
Apparently a pretty interesting goth girl when she was introduced on the show as a teenager in the late 90s, the most interesting thing about Chloe now is that her arch-nemesis is an 8 year old girl.
Clyde Weston
Living embodiment of the word sleazy. Imagine a dollar store version of Twin Peaks' Bob and he's from, like, Alabama or something.
Colin Petersen
Brand-new (as of last week) character and immediately a detestable piece of shit. Brother of Sloane, currently manipulating his girlfriend, Talia, to seduce Chanel (Talia isn't even into girls and it's all really gross) so she can then break her heart. British. But not in a hot way.
Doug Williams
The guy who plays Doug is literally 98 years old and we often joke that he only has enough mental capacity left to say I'M DOUG! every now and then. But honestly, he recently played the devil and he kinda fucking nailed it.
Duke
A bear.
EJ DiMera
British (in a hot way) co-CEO of DiMera Enterprises. Everyone talks about EJ like he's a villain but in almost two full years of storylines (since this performer took over in the role) we haven't seen him do anything remotely evil apart from very occasionally retaliating when someone wrongs him first.
Eric Brady
Son of Roman. Former priest. Currently dating Sloane. Eric was orignally played by Jensen Ackles, which is why we were able to locate copies of every episode he originally appeared in from 1999-2001.
Gabi Hernandez    Sister of Rafe, currently dating Stefan. I do not wish to overly objectify anyone on this show, but EJ once referred to Gabi's "platonic ideal of an ass" and he was 100% correct.
Gwen Rizczech
Gwen is my precious cinnamon roll and she can do no wrong. The first week I started watching this show, she was in prison. Her sister, Abigail, came to visit, saw the horrible coffee mug that Gwen had made for their dad, and smashed it on the ground. Gwen didn't deserve that. Or anything else bad. She's British, and she's one of two characters who looks a lot like my friend Kara (who voice acts for my projects and plays, among others, Naomi on Endeavor).
Harris Michaels
Former Navy SEAL who was brainwashed to do Megan Hathaway's bidding. Harris has since recovered and dated Hope for about 30 seconds until she discovered Bo was still alive.
Hope Williams Brady
With Bo, the other half of one of the show's great "supercouples." Hope has been working for the definitely-real ISA, but is currently stuck in a hospital waiting for her recently-resurrected lover to come out of his coma.
Jack Deveraux
Father of Gwen and Abigail. Has apparently left town after Gwen (along with Xander and Leo) extorted control of the town newspaper away from him.
Jada Hunter
Detective serving under Rafe, and also apparently romantically interested in him (gross). Jada's sister Talia recently moved to town and Jada strongly suspects that Talia is behind the poisoned biscuits served at Sweet Bits bakery.
Jan Spears
The extremely delusional woman obsessed with living happily ever after with Sad Eyes Shawn. Has been in four different comas. Last seen attempting to escape apprehension in the harbor, but they never found her body. Come on guys, I've read comics. She's still out there somewhere. Jan is Amanda's favorite character.
Joey Johnson
Tripp's extremely lame brother with an extremely lame little mustache. Joey lives in Seattle, and if I ever ran into him, I would point right at him and laugh at how bad his mustache is.
John Black
John is played by Drake Hogestyn, who has apparently only ever had one acting job: this one. And... what an eccentric performance it is. John is ostensibly a private eye (with Steve) and is married to Marlena. (They are another of the show's "supercouples.") He's not very bright but kind of lovable despite this, like if Mister Peanutbutter was played by a knockoff of Clint Eastwood.
Johnny DiMera
The worst character on the show by far. Johnny claims to be a filmmaker, but the only film he attempted to make (a fictionalization of his grandmother Marlena's satanic possession) failed spectacularly and he hasn't done a goddamn thing since. Mostly spends his time judging the sex lives of the people he's close to (particularly his father) and whining.
Julie Olson Williams
Wife of Doug (and the performers are actually married in real life too, which is pretty cute). Julie's job, as far as I can tell, is to invite herself into people's homes and ask extremely personal questions when she doesn't think the plot is moving along fast enough.
Justin Kiriakis
Dad of Alex and Sonny. Justin is a lawyer. I don't know a whole lot else about him, actually. I guess I'd hire him if Sloan or Belle weren't available.
Kate Roberts
Tough old broad who is currently being held captive at sea for some reason. I have a big coffee table book about this show that divides the characters up into families (Brady, DiMera, etc.) and there's a whole section called Kate's Brood, because she has apparently been married to half the significant male characters in this show and I think did at least hand stuff with the other half. Is ostensibly the partner of Roman, but despite them being extremely well-established legacy characters, I do not buy their supercouple status at ALL.
Kayla Brady Johnson
Chief surgeon at the hospital, wife to Steve (now THERE'S a fucking supercouple) and Dr. Marlena Evans' actual best friend.  Was recently dead, but returned to her job at the hospital last week.
Kristen DiMera
My initial read on Kristen was that she was a glamorous, scheming supervillain-type... and she still has the potential to be. But she used up all her energy trying to (and succeeding at) breaking up Brady and Chloe. Has tried to kidnap her own daugter seven or eight times since I started watching.
Leo Stark
A character so gay that they might as well have gotten Charles Nelson Reilly to play him. Leo has actually grown on me as I spend more time with him, and he currently writes a gossip column under the name Lady Whistleblower. This has proven to be an outstanding narrative excuse for characters to know each other's business.
Li Shin
Li was formerly Gabi's husband, formerly a top executive at DiMera Enterprises and was never a good actor. Seriously, he just stares forward like David Puddy and reads all his lines really fast with no inflection. The only time he ever played a believable emotion was at Thanksgiving when he thought there would be pie but then there was no pie.
Lucas Horton
Lucas is a real piece of work (shit). He kidnapped Sami, the love of his life, but then (by his own admission) had no idea what to do next so just kind of... held on to her for awhile. Then he pretended to rescue her and almost married her. He's currently in jail. I hope they let him out soon because he's one of those characters that you love to watch fail over and over again.
Maggie Horton Kiriakis
Matriarch of the Kiriakis AND Horton families and current CEO of Titan. Married to Victor, who is definitely still alive oh hey that's him on the phone right now sorry I need to take this hi Victor I'm so happy you're definitely alive
Marlena Evans
The obvious hero of this entire 65 year spectacle. Marlena has been possessed by the actual devil; she died and went to heaven; she woke up from being dead and discovered that she was in a cryo tube in a lab someplace; and she's the only psychiatrist in Salem, who regularly hypnotizes hard-to-access plot points from people's memories. All of this has happened since I started watching the show about a year ago. She and John are a supercouple and despite the fact that John is... like that, it kind of works because Marlena is fucking amazing.
Megan Hathaway
This character died IN NINETEEN EIGHTY FIVE and they recently brought her back to life. NINETEEN. EIGHTY. FIVE. Almost forty years ago. Apparently a DiMera child, and every bit the supervillain Kristen should have been. Megan used her considerable resources to resurrect Bo, a guy she dated in high school LIKE FIFTY YEARS AGO. I cannot get over this. She's currently in jail but there's no chance she'll be there for long.
Melinda Trask
Hard-assed district attorney of Salem and the recent victim of the infamous poisoned biscuits. Melinda was only a plot device for a long time, but I guess the producers got the letters I forgot to write because now she's getting actual storylines complete with love interests and she's every bit as great as I expected her to be.
Nicole Walker
Nicole is currently dating EJ, but she never stays with anyone for very long. Mostly she keeps hooking up with Eric, who should fucking know better by now.
Orpheus
Yes, Orpheus. An actual evil genius who recently poisoned (and killed!) Marlena, Kate and Kayla. Best voice on the show, by far.
Paul Narita
Son of John. Currently dating Andrew. This is all I know about Paul, but I'm hoping he moves to Salem so I can get to know him better. He was involved in one of the show's greatest moments, in which his extremely doting father came to visit him and celebrate Pride. (see picture below.)
Paulina Price
Wife of Abe, mother of Chanel. Paulina is played by Jackeé, who was best known for sitcoms and quite honestly really works best on this show when she's playing comedy.
Rafe Hernandez
Brother of Gabi. Commissioner of Salem PD. Side note: this is a fictional world where it's best to pretend cops aren't horrible. That said, Rafe hasn't been particularly great for most of my time with him... but he's finally starting to grow on me a little bit.
Roman Brady
Owner of the Brady Pub and apparently maker of decent clam chowder. They keep trying to convince me that this nobody is the love of Kate's life but I remain unconvinced. The performer who plays Roman kinda sounds like he had a stroke.  I really don't feel comfortable making fun of that but I also find him very hard to understand, which just makes me uncomfortable any time he's on screen. (This is definitely more my problem than it is his.)
Sami Brady
Daughter of John, sister of Belle, apparently the love of both EJ and Lucas' lives. Sami is a fucking mess —one of those delightful messes that we wish was on the show more. But she also has better things to do than be on this show, so she only shows up about once a year for a couple of weeks.
Sarah Horton
Love of Xander's life who recently departed the show. But she was pregnant when she did, so she's absolutely coming back with that baby at some point.
Shawn-Douglas Brady
aka Sad Eyes Shawn. Most recently, Shawn learned that his father, Bo, was back from the dead and thought it would be a good idea to shoot him (?!) Now Bo is in a coma. If nothing else, Shawn has finally earned those sad eyes.
Sloan Petersen
A cutthroat lawyer obsessed with getting revenge on Chanel and Paulina for some drama involving her dead parents. Is dating Eric and, for some reason, has the name of Ferris Bueller's girlfriend (not the first time this show has cribbed character names from John Hughes, either).
Stefan DiMera
Boyfriend of Gabi and brother of EJ, with whom he is currently involved in a bitter rivalry over who controls DiMera Enterprises. (They currently share CEO status.) Was brought back from the dead like... 6 months ago, but only recently shook off a bunch of brainwashing that convinced him that he didn't love Gabi but actually loved Chloe (which should have been his first clue that something was amiss because... really? Her?)
Stefano DiMera    
Long-dead patriarch of the DiMera family. Stefano looms large over the show and his children, and his portrait hangs in their living room, where they monologue to it regularly. (A replica of said portrait is also hanging in our living room.)
Stephanie Johnson
Son of Steve and Kayla, currently dating Dead Wife Chad. Stephanie runs her own PR firm, and inexplicably has as many work-related storylines as her mother, WHO IS A SURGEON.
Steve Johnson
The show's requisite Handsome Eyepatch Guy. Longtime love of Kayla. Private eye. Good dad. Good dude. I like Steve. It's hard not to like Steve.
Susan Banks
A full-on southern fruitcake and actual psychic. When Dr. Marlena Evans (whom Susan refers to as her "best friend," though Marlena doesn't seem to agree with this assessment) was possessed by the devil, she turned Susan into "a li'l kittycat," which is why we named our li'l kittycat after her. Susan is (was?) played by the same performer who plays Kristen, and this is often mlked for (pretty effective) laughs. Susan plummetted to her apparent death in some stock footage swiped from an old "Toonces" sketch.
Talia Hunter
Sister of Jada, apparently romantically involved with Colin (gross). Talia used to be a doctor, but quit so she could bake. And then it turned out this was all a cover for the sinister plots that Colin is putting her up to. She clearly knows better though. And she's going to stop doing what that creep tells her to do any day now. Right?
Tony DiMera
Brother of EJ, Stefan and Chad; husband of Anna. The consigliere to EJ's mob boss. Tony's like if Richard Dawson were still alive but not quite as handsome or charming.
Tripp Johnson
Son of Steve and Ava. Handsome, charming, a good dude. TLo has a little song she sings when Tripp shows up. It goes TRIPP! TRIPP TRIPP TRIPP TRIPP! It's pretty adorable.
Victor Kiriakis
Patriarch of the Kiriakis family. Victor was an absolute delight to watch, as he was openly hostile to every character on the show except for Maggie, whom he obviously cared for a great deal. Victor was played by John Aniston (Jennifer's dad), who died last fall. The show persists in informing us that Victor is "just over there, off-camera," despite this.
Wei Shen
Owner or board member or something of DiMera Enterprises. We've never been able to determine what DiMera actually does, so Wei Shin's role there is also a bit of a mystery. Father to Li and Wendy, and usually pretty disappointed in both of them.
Wendy Shin
Daughter of Wei, sister of Li. Wendy works in IT at DiMera and keeps threatening to date Johnny, which makes absolutely no sense. She is now dating Tripp, which makes a lot more sense because seriously, Johnny's the worst.
Wilhelm Rolf
Actual mad scientist who once worked for Stefano DiMera. Has brought so many people back from the dead that people actually refer to it as "being Rolfed." Recently seen trying to undo Stefan's brainwashing with ad hoc equipment built out of a crock pot, and eggbeater and other assorted kitchen props. Even more amazing than I'm making him sound.
Xander Kiriakis
British (Scottish actually, but sounds British) himbo who keeps ending up with amazing women (Sarah, Gwen) and then completely fucking it up. Xander is currently part-owner of the town newspaper for some reason, and is currently getting an apartment with Chloe for seriously what the fuck I have absolutely no idea.

Notes while watching episode 2:
Tldr, this season is still pretty fun. Of course they’re introducing more of the mysteries, so the tone (and my screen) has gone darker. I’m really sick of the plot centering around Nancy and Jonathan just not being able to talk to each other. We’ve had it since the beginning I’m DONE. Stop introducing side characters when you don’t have any idea what to do with your main ones. I’m hoping we get more of Lucas this season, he barely had like two minutes of screen time (which is a trend from last season) and also no one cared about billy. But of course, we knew that.
Anyway here is the long version of my notes:
The way I GASPED when Powell and Callahan stepped out of the police cruisers and Powell is the chief now I screamed bitch. My favorite minor characters are HERE.
I have Jonathan’s haircut right now rip
Everytime I am forced to watch children kiss each other I feel my soul slip away. (Although the flower thing was lowkey cute)
Mike not hugging Will is pure homophobia I’m gonna throw up.
“I heard a lot about your sister” unfortunately, we all have.
Glad to see that Murray is still dialed to 1000 forever.
They are really trying to make Jonathan look like an extra in Almost Famous and it’s just. Not working.
They really are out here shoving Steve into youth xs size polos and bitch I’m HERE for it.
“Alone we totally suck” Steve and robin platonic soulmates 4ever
Bennys burgers is now the teenage rage place obsessed with that.
“The devil lives here in Hawkins” yeah and the devil’s name is Nancy’s wardrobe
Claudia Henderson my beloved.
The way Dustin is defending Eddie and saying he knows that he’s too good a person to hurt Chrissy, and Max saying how scared Eddie looked and putting together the Upside Down pieces just breaks my fucking heart. No one cared about billy no one cared about billy.
People need to start fucking believing Joyce. She’s been right about everything for four seasons now stop staying no to her.
I am very similar to Joyce in that I am in love with Jim Hopper.
I am DEEPLY claustrophobic that torture scene was A Lot.
Wills deep man voice is freaking me out he’s a grown human now I’m gonna barf he was such a squishy baby in season 1.
Obsessed that Will is lowkey good at roller skating. He’s such a fruit.
Someone called Mike a twig and I thought he said TWINK.
Jason the WASP can eat my shorts PLEASE don’t tell me he becomes part of the main group I hate his dumb face. I only have room in my heart for one stupid prep and that spot is FILLED by STEVEN HARRINGTON
Nancy and Jonathan actually talk to each other and communicate challenge. “Slow motion breakup with Nancy?” VIBES
I don’t understand why Angela keeps calling El a snitch? When the teacher asked if something was going on El said there wasn’t, but the teacher saw through it. Like, she tried to cover for you, sorry that your bullying isn’t subtle.
When I heard that psycho killer baseline I genuinely had to pause the show to calm myself down that song is SO FUCKING GOOD
Jason the prep is just Hawkins’s version of Archie Andrews I’m gonna cry with this vigilante shit.
“See ya later. Alligator.” Steve Harrington my BELOVED. When he said that he looked so dead inside <3
I think Lucas has said about eight words this season and I’m Tired. He was barely in season 3 and only existed as a punch line for the joke of being constantly broken up with by Max. They’ve added a hundred new characters and have totally cast him aside which is ALSO on trend. Doesn’t mean I fucking like it though.
Reefer Rick is just Steve.
Okay when Steve was talking about attending to all the customers equally……. Not just babes…….. bisexuality……..
(Also some random punk walked in behind him and punk kid is my new kilt guy)
For some lovely lovely angst I am now headcanoning a scene where vecna gets in Steve’s head and uses Barb’s death and funeral against him like the reporter kid. I think that seeing Steve go through that guilt would be delicious.
Mike calling out Will for being a douche when really he’s just gay and Over It. “Why am I the bad guy” Mike you’ve been a dick for four seasons. Maybe look internally.
El just claw this bitch’s eyes out already. YES SKATE TO THE FACE GO GIRL.
Dustin is so annoying fr he’s the best. “Is that foot?” “No that’s just a shoe.” Steve and Dustin #DreamTeam
Movies and tv stop being too dark for me to see what’s happening challenge.
The little trumpet noises Robin makes SHES SO CUTE.
“Yeah yeah, on Dustin’s mother” this is some fucking Claudia slander and I will not stand for it.
All steve knows is eat hot chip, moan when other boys press up against him, and lie.
Eddie (rightfully) being treated like he’s been traumatized. No one cared about billy no one cared about billy.
They filled Eddie in on all the upside down shit right away. No one cared about billy no one cared about billy.
Vecna doesn’t feel like an Upside Down thing to me. I mean, he’s clearly in the Upside Down, and is a part of it? But the way he’s like up in these people’s heads is weird. I don’t think he’s any part of the mind Flayer because we had that bitch for two seasons, they’d be finished with that.
Also not the demogorgons being able to fly. These bitches have seriously evolved like the fucking graboids in Tremors 1-3.

Twisted Twins pt. 6 After the date
I woke up to my alarm that morning that I didn't recall setting but then remembered that I have a preset alarm for college morning to wake up. I yawned before getting a shower as I knew my roommates would want all the details of my date. As I stood there in the warm water and started to clean myself for the day..I couldn't deny that I imagined Aleksander here with me. The idea of it snapped me back to reality as I hurried to get myself clean and then dressed. I made sure my homework was done which it was and then packed everything in my bag.
When I walked out to get something to eat Nadia and Marie were there eating. "Oh you're awake..how did the date go? Did he treat you right? Was there a kiss good night?" Nadia asked as we all knew Nadia was a bit more of a romantic than I was. "It went fine..after we got away from his mother." Amira said as I looked at them seeing their shocked faces. "He took you to meet his mother already.." Marie said as I grabbed something quick. "He didn't have a choice..she insisted to meet me. I have to choose between Aleksander and Billy to marry by the promise my grandmother made." I said as I put a piece of toast in my mouth.
"And was there a good night kiss?" Marie asked as I blushed slightly. It was on accident that our lips met last night but in that moment I hadn't even cared. "Sort of..accidentally" I said as I knew I'd been distracted yet he had taken advantage of the situation and I hadn't stopped him. "I need to go we can talk about this later." I said
I ran to get to class as I was able to get in like it was no problem and slide in, everyone was coming in when Nico showed up. Nico walked over and hugged me "so how did your date go?" He asked as I nod. "It went well, he showed me a good time." I said as Andrew soon came in and my smile faded. "Well Silina, I bet I could show you a better time than the son of the Godmother." Andrew said as I was about to say something when Billy walked in. I wondered where Aleksander was but Billy walked over and handed me a note. "My brother asked me to give you this, he's running a little late." Billy said as I took it and then Billy took my hand and kissed the top of it. "Would you honor me with a chance to show you a better time than Aleksander?" Billy asked
I was shocked because this mean their mother had put brother against brother with the way things were. "I wouldn't mind..but I have to work tonight so it'll have to be another night." I said as Billy's expression was easy to read. He didn't seem happy that last night I had time for his brother and tonight I didn't for him. Yet he remained calm "No worries Sweetheart I'll just use the time to plan a great night. But I'll see you at your job tonight." He said before he left.
Oi..twins..manipulating twins. I thought
Still I looked at the note Billy gave from Aleksander.
Amira,
I had a nice time last night..my apologies if things moved fast with everything that happened. I had no intention to make you uncomfortable if that was what happened. I'll be in class late mother called me away to do something. If Andrew bothers you I'll deal with him soon.
-Aleksander
I smiled and soon Aleksander walked in a few minutes after the bell and he had a note to which the teacher accepted before he took his seat. I knew he had the same schedule as me so we talked a bit.
During the trips to class we walked together and Andrew stopped infront of us. "This isn't funny. You're dating him now after one date?" Andrew asked as I knew that wasn't what was going on but Andrew didn't need to know that. "I can date whoever I want. He knows how to show a girl a good time so yeah." I said
Aleksander seemed to look at me curiously but I knew that I didn't have a choice. It was him or Billy and this competition on who would get me first between the twins did not help. When we walked forward I heard him ask "is this because of the kiss or because of what happened with my mother?" I knew the truth it was a bit of both. "Kind of...I have to work tonight at the bar. You'll come, right?" I asked as he smirked at me. "Sure. Though Billy wants his turn to impress you." Aleksander said as I nod. "He talked with me and I told him I'd be at work tonight." I answered
The day seemed like it went by fast as everyone noticed I walled with him. Lunch time he bought us lunch so we could enjoy which I didn't mind. I knew the area well enough and I was content with him. I was comfortable with him..and that was concerning.
Will I choose Aleksander over Billy? I do feel a connection with him and he's mindful of how to handle things around me. I thought
After lunch things went by soon and I had to go home and get ready. I was going to drive myself when I walked out and seen Aleksander waiting for me. I went over to him and he rolled his window down. "Get in. It's too dangerous to walk." He said as I shrugged but got in. He drove me there and we didn't say anything but my friends had already gone ahead to get the bar ready. So when we arrived we had it all ready.

Happy Birthday, ex manager and partner of Elton John,  John Reid, who was born September 9, 1949 in Paisley.
The son of a welder and a shop worker, he reportedly attended Stow College in Glasgow for a short time before striking out for London in 1967. At age 18 Reid entered the music business as a promoter for EMI. Remarkably by age 19 he was managing the Tamla Motown label for the U.K., and it was at a company Christmas party that 21-year-old Reid met 23-year-old John.
Their professional partnership would last 28 years with Reid being present for John’s career hitting stratospheric heights, often as his personal life hit deep lows due to the performer’s alcohol and drug use, marriage and divorce to Renate Blauel the forging and continuation of his partnership with lyricist Bernie Taupin lawsuits, and loves lost and found.
In an interview with The Daily Record Reid later said “When I met Elton, I didn’t even realize his potential, I’ve never claimed to have discovered him. In fact, when he suggested I should manage him, I wasn’t enthusiastic.” When Reid accepted the job of becoming John’s manager at Dick James Music, the couple were already living together.
In anther interview he says Elton was his first love and vice versa John also revealed he was “a virgin until then. I was desperate to be loved, desperate to have a tactile relationship.”
Their relationship as lovers lasted from 1970 until 1975. It was one of the most prolific music periods for John as he delivered numerous international hits including “Your Song,” “Daniel,” “Candle in the Wind,” and “Rocket Man.” His persona on- and off-stage grew and his outfits became more flamboyant. “The vast leaps in style were exhausting,” Reid has said of the period. “He would go out one day with brown hair and return the next with pink.”
According to Reid, the relationship ended because Elton had “never had a sexual adolescence. He needed to go off and play the field, which he did with gusto… There were no dramas.”
Reid would remain in John’s life – and as his business manager – until 1998. Over the decades the two became wealthy due to John’s recording and touring successes. Both men spent big on sports cars, yachts, jewelry, and property, with Reid reportedly owning multiple homes at one point. Reid managed Queen from 1975 to 1978, as well as other acts including Bros, Kiki Dee, Lionel Richie, Billy Connolly, and Michael Flatley.
Though it was not public knowledge at the time that the two were lovers, as a couple they made headlines in the seventies. Reid was sentenced to a month in prison in New Zealand in 1974 for knocking a journalist to the floor of a nightclub. He was also reportedly arrested in San Francisco in 1979 after hitting a hotel doorman with his cane after they argued over a waiting car parked outside for John. Reid allegedly beat another journalist the day after Elton’s first wedding to Renate in Australia.
Like John, Reid would struggle with drugs and alcohol and in 1991 checked into the same recovery clinic John had stayed at when he got sober in 1990. “Elton called me regularly. He was a tower of strength,” Reid told the Daily Record. But unlike John, Reid would relapse and continue to struggle with alcohol.
Professionally, their relationship ended in 1998, the same year John’s auditors discovered a reported £20 million gap in his accounts. Two years later they would be facing each other in court, this time on opposing sides with John suing accounting firm PriceWaterhouseCoopers and Andrew Haydon, director of John Reid Enterprises, claiming negligence and breach of duty. “I trusted him,” John said of Reid in court. “I never thought he would betray me but he has betrayed me.” The singer had already been paid over 3 million pound by Reid in an out of court settlement by the time it reached court.
Reid continued in the music business until reportedly retiring in 1999, a year after divesting himself of an art collection allegedly worth £2 million. He was a judge on the Australian version of The X Factor in 2005 and has since lived a quiet life out of the public eye.
“I’m fond of Elton and proud of the work we did together,” Reid is reported to have said in the mid-2010s. “One day I’ll bump into him and there may be hugs and kisses. Or maybe not.”
Though featured in two of the biggest music industry-based films of 2018 and 2019, to date Reid has never surfaced to publicly discuss how he is portrayed in, or comment on, either Bohemian Rhapsody or Rocketman. His current whereabouts are unknown, though reports list him as living in Australia or London.
Reid  also deserves to be recognised for his role in saving one of Scotland’s most famous venues, the Edinburgh Playhouse.  The Playhouse was seen as a white elephant. It was in line to be demolished and it was a bit run down but he took it over and got Elton John in and Queen, really big acts.
While the developers planned to demolish it and replace it with an office block and shops, a campaign to save the building got under way with a petition gaining 15,000 signatures.
A class B list preservation order was granted to the building in 1974 but it was in danger of becoming a folly.
With the developers left with an empty building they couldn’t demolish, they decided to open the building for occasional rock and pop concerts, which is when John stepped in.
In 1976, he ran a spectacular, if not exactly catchily titled, Festival of Popular Music, featuring 21 gigs over 21 days at the venue.
The biggest acts of the day came to Edinburgh including Queen, Rainbow, Kiki Dee, Crosby And Nash and, of course, Elton. It was a special night for the singer, his first solo concert without a band.
It also proved pivotal to the building. The campaign to see it reopened and used for other purposes – including opera, ballet and theatre – was under way and the success of the Festival of Popular Music proved its potential.
Reid was portrayed by Irish actor Aidan Gillen in the Film Bohemian Rhapsody and in Rocketman by Scottish actor Richard Madden.

Don’t Leave Me Now

December, 1967
~m.r~
December had rolled around quite quickly. We had recently finished doing a tour of England supporting Jimi Hendrix. It was what we needed after our US visit was cut short by Andrew. He thought it was best considering of how Syd's behaviour was worsening. Then, we did the tour with Jimi but, poor Syd, was just not in the right state of mind.
We had been crazy busy this month with shows all over England. But right now, we had a few free days. This was making me realize that right now really wasn't the time for me to be a mother, but I still hadn't talked about it with Billy.
Speaking of Billy, he was upset that he had barely seen me all month. But still, he gave me his support, even if he didn't come to all the shows. He was busy with work as well and from what he's told me, he's close to a managerial position. He's been getting along real well with his boss recently.
I was currently busy washing dishes. Billy sat on the couch in the living room. "Maggie, could we talk for a moment?" He asked me. I sighed. What could this be about? Does he want to complain again about how I've barely been home? I went into the living room and joined him in the couch.
"Is everything okay?" I asked him.
"Of course" He grabbed my hands. "I just thought that we should talk about starting our family" Oh great, this was the conversation I've been dreading. Yes, we talked about it briefly over the phone, but now was our first time talking about it in person. "I'd like to get started as soon as possible" He reached to stroke my cheek. "We've waited long enough, don't you think?"
"Yeah, seven years" I said. I removed his hand from my cheek and held it. "But maybe it wouldn't hurt to wait just a little bit longer" I found it funny how seven years ago, I was the one wanting children so badly, and he was the one putting it off. Now, it's him wanting and me putting it off.
Billy's smile dropped. "What?"
"I think we should wait at least another year or two" I explained to him.
"You've been nagging on me about having a baby for seven years," Billy started, his tone sounding unpleasant. "And I told you that I wasn't ready, but now that I'm the one who's ready, you tell me you want to wait?"
His stare on me was ice cold. He's never looked at me that way before. "It's just, things with the band—" He didn't let me finish as he had snapped at me.
"How can you be so fucking selfish?" I didn't know how to respond to that. I just stared at him, my mouth gaped open. "Maggie, I've done so much for you over these years we've been together. And now I'm asking for this one thing from you, but you're telling me that your band is more important than your husband?"
Billy's never acted this way towards me before. "Where do you get off calling me selfish!?" I talked back to him. "I've sacrificed for you! I married you, even though I wasn't ready for marriage yet, but I did it anyways because I love you! God forbid I want to wait a bit longer before having a baby"
Billy's cold stare became a murderous glare. "You can't talk to me that way. I'm your husband!"
"I can talk to you however I goddamn please!" I spat back at him. At that moment, he did something that really caught me off guard. I felt the stinging against my cheek. He just struck me! That was something he's definitely never done before. I put my hand against my cheek and looked at him with shock. "H-how could you?"
"Maggie," Billy's voice went quiet with the realization at what he had just done. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to"
"But you still did it!" I scolded him. He tried to hug me but I stepped away from him. "Don't" I was thankful when the phone started to ring. I answered it and tried to keep my voice from cracking. "Hello?"
"Sunshine?" It was Roger.
"Hi Roger" Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Billy tensing his jaw. "What's going on?"
"We're having a band meeting today" He explained. "It's about something really important and we all need to be there"
"Alright. Will you come pick me up?"
"Sure thing. I'll be there in fifteen, okay?" The line went dead.
“There's a band meeting that I have to go to" I told Billy. I didn't even turn to look at him, though I could feel his eyes on me. "Don't expect me home. I'll be staying with Clea tonight" In reality, I'd be asking Roger if I could stay with him. "It'll give you the chance to think about what you've done and I expect an apology if I decide to come home tomorrow"
I left the flat, slamming the door behind me. I was barely out of the building before I was reaching into my purse for my cigarettes. I was glad Ronnie and Sandy weren't home today. Sandy had some modelling gig, and Ronnie went with her. They were at a hotel for a couple of nights. Once I got outside, I lit the cig and sat on the curb as I waited for Roger. My cheek still burned a bit and I could feel tears swelling in my eye. But I didn't want Roger to see me crying.
Fifteen minutes had passed and Roger's car. I walked over to the passenger side and got into his car. "Hello, darling" He greeted me.
I looked at him and managed a smile. "Hi, sweetheart"
He reached over to cup my face. I nuzzled into his hand. His touch was so gentle compared to the harsh slap Billy had given me earlier. "You look lovely today"
"Do we really have a band meeting today, or is it just an excuse so you can see me?" I felt compelled to ask. We haven't see each other outside of band related things just yet since we agreed to be together.
"No, we really do have a meeting today" Roger said. "But, Judy isn't home for the next few days if you want to come over"
"Good, because I was going to ask you if I could spend the night"
Roger's eyes filled with concern. "Did something happen?"
"Billy and I just got into a small argument" I left out the part about him slapping me. That didn't need to be something he knew about. "I just don't want to be around him today"
"I understand" I'm glad he left it at that. It's not that I didn't trust him, it's just what happens in my marriage isn't his business.
Roger began to drive. I gazed out the window, watching as the buildings, cars and pedestrians passed by. All the while I felt Roger's hand on my thigh, just where my skirt ended. "So, what's this meeting about anyways?"
He looked like he almost didn't want to tell me. "You'll find out when we get there"
...
We pulled up to what looked to be an office building. I guess this where we were having our meeting. "You ready to head up then?" Roger asked me.
"You go on ahead" I said. "I need another smoke" He nodded. Just as he was about to exit the car, I grabbed onto his arm. He looked at me. "You haven't given me my kiss yet"
"Then come here, darling" I climbed over so that I was straddling his lap, facing him. I cupped his face, and his hands were on my back. Our lips met in a searing kiss. I knew it was risky, kissing in his car like this, and anybody could look through the window and see us. But his lips on mine felt so good, so right. I didn't care if we got caught.
"Christ, love" Roger breathed, pulling away from me. "We should stop otherwise we're not going in" I opened the door and climbed out of the car, Roger following suit behind me. "Staying for a cig, yeah?" I nodded, pulling out my pack. "Alright. Second floor, third door on the left" He told me before disappearing inside the building.
I leaned against the wall of the building as I lit my cigarette. I was feeling at peace as I smoked, but that peace was interrupted when a stranger approached me. "You're too pretty to be smoking, miss" The man said.
I looked at him. The stranger had a pretty face. He was dark haired with blue eyes and full, plump lips. I gave him a friendly grin. "I know I shouldn't, but there's just something about it, you know"
The man smiled back at me. "I suppose there is" He extended his hand towards me. "David"
I shook his hand with my free one. "Maggie. You heading inside?" I asked, pointing towards the door. David nodded. "Want to wait with me a bit? I'm almost done"
So that's what happened. David stood outside with me as I finished my cigarette. We made our way inside. David held the door open for me, and I thanked him, thinking that we would part ways at that point. But I suppose he was also heading to the second floor, because he was following me up there.
And when I came to the door of the third room on left, David stopped when I did. I turned to him to confront him about it. "Okay, are you following me or something?"
"It may seem that way but I'm actually here for a meeting" He explained to me.
What an odd coincidence. I pointed to the door. "A meeting in this room?"
"Yes" David nodded. "Do you have a meeting in there?"
I squinted at him. "Yes" I drawled. That's when David began to laugh. "What's so funny?"
"Didn't any of them tell you?" He questioned me. I shook my head. "I'm your new band mate"
"New band mate!?" I yelled, perhaps a little louder than I should have.
The door opened and Andrew popped his head out. "Ah, Maggie!" He greeted me. "I see you've met our new guitarist, David Gilmour" Wait, new guitarist? But Syd is our guitarist! I burst into the room, seeing Roger, Nick, Rick, and Peter all sitting at a table together. Syd, however, was missing. "We're replacing Syd!? And you three knew!?" I pointed my finger accusingly at my three band mates.
I felt hands on my shoulder. "We are not replacing Syd" Andrew spoke from behind me. "David is here to help and try to cover up Syd's eccentricities"
None of this was making me feel any calmer. I was already on edge as it was thanks to Billy's behavior this morning. "If Syd isn't being replaced, then why isn't he here?"
Peter spoke up. "I tried to get him to come but he didn't want to leave his flat"
"Does he know?" I asked.
"He's aware, yes"
I was very aware that all the boys were staring at me right now. I glimpsed over at Roger. He gave me an apologetic look. "Maggie," I heard David behind me. "Look, I don't mean any—"
"Don't" I hissed at him. "Just don't" I had to excuse myself before I snapped at anyone else today. I stepped out into the hall. My back hit the wall and I slid down it, until I was on the floor.
~r.w~
It went quiet after Maggie left the room. She left quite the tension behind. I don't think I've ever seen someone snap quite like she did. I knew she was already a bit tense because of an argument she had this morning.
"Is it just me or is Maggie a bit scary when she's mad?" Nick broke the tension. "You could almost see the smoke coming out of her ears"
"We thought you would've warned her or something, Roger" Rick addressed me.
"She was already tense this morning" I explained. "I didn't want to have an angry car ride"
"What happened this morning?" Rick asked.
"And was it something you did?" Nick added.
"Shut up! I did nothing to her. It was her husband. They got into an argument" I said.
"I think you should go talk to her, Roger" Andrew encouraged. "You're closest to her"
I left to go talk to her. I found her just outside, sitting down on the floor. I sat down beside her. "Penny for your thoughts, darling?"
Maggie sighed. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to freak out like that. It's just I care about Syd, and it seems to unfair to him"
"I know, darling, I know" I wrapped my arm around her shoulder. She leaned against me, her head settling on my shoulder. I kissed her forehead and rubbed her arm. "But you understand why we're going through with this, right?"
"I do"
"And I promise that David doesn't mean any harm" I assured her. "Actually he and Syd know each other pretty well. They studied at Cambridge Tech together. They performed together before and they even hitch hiked south France together"
"Alright, I'll give David a chance" She decided. "But don't expect me to become friends with him right away"
"I don't expect you to" I grabbed her chin and made her look up at me. "But do try to get along with him, yeah?"
Her lips curled into a smile. "I'll try" She kissed my cheek. "As much as I'd like to sit out here with you though, I'm ready to go back in" I stood up first. I offered Maggie my hand. She took it and I helped her up. The two of us went back into the room.
Andrew looked at Maggie. "You all good then, Maggie?"
"Yes. And I'm sorry for snapping like that" Maggie turned to David. "I promise I'm not always a bitch. That news just felt like a brick hitting my chest"
David laughed. "I promise, love, I don't think you're a bitch" Maggie managed to give him a smile. "I think when we get to know each other a bit better, we'll become good friends"
"But for now, can we agree on just being band mates and acquaintances?" Maggie offered David her hand.
David accepted her offer, grasping her hand and shaking it. "Deal"
...
I waited outside for Maggie. She was inside still, said something about giving her sister a call. I decided to have a smoke while a waited for her. David had come outside and he approached me. "Maggie's lovely" He said to me. "Where did you find her?"
"She was singing at a club" I explained. "I liked her voice and thought she'd fit right in"
"Was her voice the only thing you liked?" David asked. "She's a very pretty one"
"She's off-limits" I said quickly. I didn't want him getting any ideas about her.
David raised his eyebrows. "If I didn't know any better, I'd think you have a little crush on her"
"No" I denied. "We've all been told to keep a professional relationship with her, and besides, she's married"
"I'd be surprised if she wasn't. She could have anyone she wants with a pretty face like that" My jaw tensed as I took a drag of my cigarette. I didn't like the way he was talking about her. Did he have to call her pretty so blatantly in front of me? "You think she'll warm up to me?"
"Eventually" Was all I said. I finished the cigarette and tossed it to the ground, making sure to put it out with my foot. At the same time, Maggie emerged from the building. "Sunshine" I immediately straightened when I saw her.
"Sorry, I had to call Ronnie and tell her I wouldn't be home tonight" She explained. She noticed David's presence. "Hi, David"
"Maggie" He smiled at her. "Roger says you have a lovely voice. I can't wait to hear it"
"Oh, have you not been to a show before?" Maggie asked.
"I have, but that was before you joined, love" He clarified to her. Okay, I didn't like the way he was calling her that. "Had I known you were a part of it, I would have come to more shows"
"Okay, sunshine, I think we should be going" I grabbed her hand and started walking her towards the car.
"You okay?" Maggie had asked me when we reached the car. "You don't usually just grab my hand like that"
"Just anxious to be alone with you" I covered. I didn't want her knowing I was getting annoyed with the way David flirted with her.
  ~m.r~
Roger and I made it back to his flat. "Make yourself at home, darling" He said. He made his way into the kitchen while I went to go sit on the couch. "You okay with a beer, love?"
"That's fine!" I called back to him. Roger came back with two beers in his hands. He handed one to me before sitting next to me.
  "Cheers, love"
"Cheers" We clinked our bottles together and then we both took a swig from them. He threw his arm over my shoulder while I tossed a leg across his lap. "Why didn't you tell me about David beforehand?"
"Because I knew you wouldn't be happy about it" He answered.
"And you were right" I said.
"Do you mind me asking what you and Billy argued about this morning?"
"Roger, you know you don't need to be butting into my marriage, right?"
"Aren't I already, though?" He retorted. I mean, I guess in a way he was.
I sighed. "Billy called me selfish because I said I wanted to wait for a baby" I pursed my lips in thought. "That doesn't make me selfish, right?"
"Absolutely not, darling" I could feel him rubbing my shoulder. "He's an idiot for suggesting that you are"
"He's also been on me about not spending time with him lately" I continued to vent. Honesty, it was nice to have someone to vent to about my marriage. "What does he expect? I'm in a band. There's going to be albums, shows, and tours. He needs to realize that I'm not gonna be around as much as I was"
"I think what Billy's problem is, is that he's the jealous type and he knows that you're hanging out with four other blokes all the time"
"Billy isn't the jealous type though"
Roger scoffed. "Could've fooled me. He looks like he wants to murder me every time I'm near you"
"Speaking of getting jealous" I smirked, remembering how he was acting with me around David. "You weren't jealous, were you?"
"Why would I be jealous?"
"I know flirting when I see it. David was clearing flirting with me"
"He can flirt all he wants with you, I don't care" Roger tried to make it seem like he was unbothered by the idea of David flirting with me, but I could tell that he was. "You're not mine, are ya? I'm not the one you're married to"
I bit my lip, reaching to stroke his face. "No, but I'm the one you're fucking"
Roger smiled. "Haven't exactly fucked yet, have we?" He leaned closer towards me, touching his forehead to mine. "And I said it wasn't just going to be about the sex with you" He brushed his fingers against my cheek. "Y'know, it's our first time alone in a month"
I hummed. "So it is"
Cupping my face, he pressed his lips to mine. I grabbed at the back of his neck. His hands moved from my face, fingers brushing against my neck, continuing downward until they came to grope at my breasts. "Wanna see your tits" He rasped against my mouth.
I smirked against his lips. "What happened to taking this slow?"
He pulled away, looking up at me, eyes clouded with lust. "We are" He continued massaging my breasts. "I'm just asking to see your tits"
I bit my lip. Well, if he was asking to see me. "If I show you my tits, will you show me this?" I placed my hand upon the bulge in his pants.
"Naughty fucking little minx you are" Roger kissed my jaw. "You've been thinking about it, haven't you?"
I leaned my head back, allowing him easier access to my neck. "Yes, baby. I think about it every time I look and see that big bulge in your pants"
He groaned. "Fuck, darling. Stand up for me" I did as he asked and I stood up. He followed suit after me. We were standing in front of each other now. "You take your clothes off, and I'll take off mine, alright?"
I started unbuttoning my blouse. Roger stared at me as I did so, keeping his eyes on my fingers as I popped open each button. The last button came undone and I spread my shirt open and slipped it off my shoulders. It fell to the floor, pooling at my feet. My breasts were now exposed to Roger for the first time.
He stared at them, completely mesmerized by them. He licked his lips. "Christ darling, you've got the greatest tits I've ever seen"
"Yeah?" I couldn't help but giggle at the way he was ogling at them.
"Yeah" He repeated. He cupped them both in his hands. "They're so big" He leaned down, pressing a kiss to the top of my right tit. "So soft" He dragged his lips down the soft mound. "So perfect" His lips wrapped around my nipple. He sucked on it and flicked at it with his tongue.
I couldn't help but let out a moan. His mouth was magic and this was only on my breast. I couldn't even begin to imagine how good it would feel when he eats my pussy. "Shit, Roger" I reached to thread my fingers to his hair as he worshipped my breast. When he was satisfied with the attention he gave that one, he moved on to the other one. He gave it the same amount of attention, flicking and suckling at my nipple.
He eventually pulled away and he was looking at me with a smirk. Roger didn't even bother taking off his shirt. His immediately hands went to his belt. My eyes watched closely. They watched as his belt came undone, the button popped opened, and the zipper was pulled down. And finally, they watched as the dark fabric was pushed down those longs legs, pooling at his ankles.
I stared in awe at his cock when it was finally revealed to me. Turns out his face wasn't the only gorgeous thing about Roger. I could hear him chuckling and that's when I realized how long I had been staring. "You act like you've never seen a cock before, darling" He teased.
"Not one as perfect as yours" I admitted. He was so big. He was a good seven inches, at least. I tilted my head, still admiring, and I smiled. "You're bigger than him"
"Is that so?" I could hear bolstering of his ego. I just nodded. I put my hand against his stomach and moved it downward. Roger picked up on what I was doing. "Love, you don't have to— shit" He sputtered when my hand wrapped around him. I began jerking him off. I didn't expect him to be vocal about his pleasure, but I was wrong. His moans were music to my ears.
"Fuck, that's so good, darling" He praised, looking me right in the eye. "Your hand is so soft. It feels nice wrapped around my cock" He started stroking my hair. "You're so fucking beautiful"
I wanted to make him cum. I wanted to see how pretty he looked when he did. His breathing became more erratic, and his moans were getting louder. I took that to mean that he was getting closer. "Shit, I'm gonna cum"
It took a few more strokes before he spilled into my hand. He grunted as he came. The way his mouth fell open was beautiful. Roger pulled his pants back up, and then he left for a moment. I looked at my hand which was now covered in his cum. He came back with a towel. "Wait" I told him. I wasn't going to let him clean off my hand without me tasting him first. I stuck my finger in my mouth and licked it clean. I moaned at the taste. "Fuck, you taste so good. Can I have it on my face next time?"
He chuckled as he started wiping my hand. "If that's what you want, darling. I'd be more than happy to oblige" When he was done, he tossed the towel in the dirty laundry. Then, he picked up my shirt and handed it back to me.
"Wait, don't you want to see—"
He cut me off, knowing what I was going to say. "You can let me see your cunt next time, okay?" I nodded as I put my shirt back on. I was about to start buttoning it, but Roger did it for me. "And I'll return the favor by fucking you with my fingers"
I smiled. "You really mean it when you say you want to take things slow, don't you?" I found it sweet that he wanted to take his time with me.
"I do, darling" He said sweetly. "You're too special to be rushed with"
I hummed, biting my lip. "If I didn't know any better, I would think you were in love with me"
"No, I just really like you" When he got my blouse buttoned up all the way, he cupped my face and pulled me into a soft kiss.
