HAPPY FRANKIE FRIDAY 🧢

i started this over on PF too, but thought we could all share the love for our fish by either commenting or reblogging and adding the links (with credit) to our favourite fanart, moodboards and fics for a special Friday Friday!

this is all about love, so self-love is ALSO welcome and recommended. and since I've not done this before, doesn't matter if you think it's been rec'd a thousand times, let's just spread love.

HAPPY FRANKIE FRIDAY 🧢🚁

Some of you may know, some of you don't but I celebrate Frankie Friday religiously in this house. Best fucking day of the week and that it's a Friday is just the cherry on top.

I got tagged by my dear @jolapeno to spread some Frankie love and I take this seriously. So here are some recommendations from me, the insufferable Frankie girl, from the bottom of my heart.

Enjoy ✨

The Boyfriend Act @capuccinodoll - not only is she an angel human she's also incredibly talented and no story ever made me feel so much like this one does. I mean it. READ IT, NOW.

More Than Letters @almostfoxglove - this THIIIIS. Got me in shambles, especially the last chapter. No fic EVER made me cry fr until I read this. An absolute masterpiece !!

Thirty Rain Showers to Get to You @jolapeno - I am a bit behind on this one, but so far I am LOVING it. Jo, you are a gift to this world and I will not tire of celebrating you and your talent, ever.

he with the dark curls, you with the watercolor eyes @hellishjoel - An incredible kind human and insanely talented as well. This is so deep and poetic and captured my heart. Also highly recommend checking her Table for Two series out as well!

kiss in the rain @greenwitchfromthewoods - LOVE LOVE LOVE (wet Frankie will forever be famous)

Last but not least I would also like to recommend two of my own stories who are dear to my heart.

Your Home's Only a Town You're a Guest in - my first long fic. teenager love turned into strangers, to friends, to lovers while navigating grief for a person and a home

Slow Motion - gut wrenching angsty best friends to lovers. prepare some tissues for that one. it's a real rollercoaster ride

Bea-ch Day

A Frankie Morales Fan Fic

Ever the person to get completely side tracked from what I should be writing, when new content drops. We finally got the Corona adverts (other beers are available obviously) but the character has no name. However in this mini advert, he looked so Frankie (the main one is a mix of Javi G & Tim {I’ve almost combusted}) but I automatically had the perfect idea for a short sweet fic. So happy Frankie Friday peoples.

Synopsis:- You & Frnakie has a beach day & a cook out with your friends & family.

Word count:-1860

Warnings:- alcohol, mild swearing & innuendo & things being mentioned not appropriate for kids ears, pregnancy & mentions of sex but none actually happening. See it’s just fluffy & sweet this.

Thanks for the read peoples. I hope you all enjoy this.

“Mama mama” you hear echo down the beach. You had just topped up your sun screen on your arms when you heard the noise.

“What is it bumble bee?” You reply putting on your over the top beach hat which is so big. Your 4 year old comes bouncing up the beach & is pulling at your long floaty sundress that is covered in sunflowers. She’s in a yellow bathing suit. Her hair as thick & brown as her dad’s. She got your eyes though which your husband is very happy about.

“Look what I found” in her clammy little hand is a seashell, so you drop down to her level, your back aches straight away.

“Wow” you say enthusiastically & hold it. “This is a seashell, but it’s a special one”

“Is it?” Your daughter jumps about excitedly. Her hands trying to clap her hands. “Why?”

“Well if you close your eyes & are quiet when you put this next to your ear you can hear the sea & if it whistles you can make a wish.” You say with your eyes beaming back at her.

“A wishing shell, like a wishing well cool” she grabs it back out of your hand & then runs a few yards further along the beach. “Look daddy , look daddy look, it’s a wishing shell” her daddy, your husband, is wearing a dark blue beach shirt with a white kind of floral pattern on, he’s got stone coloured shorts on & his sunnys are in his hair, as he tends to the cooking the barbecue with a friend.

“A wishing shell” strong arms lift your daughter up into the air & spin her around as she giggles. “Ahhh I’ve heard of those, be sure to listen to a whistle” his princess comes first even before any food preparations, & more importantly to you any missions.

“I’m keeping it daddy”

“Yes you are Bea & we can put it on your bedroom shelf until your wish comes true” he puts her down on the ground giving her a big sloppy kiss.

“Will you make sandcastles with me daddy?”

“After lunch bumble bee, go get Marc & Jo, tell them to come out of the sea” your 4 year old is so worldly wise. Beatrice (Bea for short) has been brought up by the two of you to understand the world is a big bright but also bemusing place. She’s 4 going on 24 for sure.

You watch her run off to go get the two boys both older than her & you slowly walk over to your husband & get a nice cold cola out of the ice box. You rest your head on his shoulders.

“Was worried for a millisecond that you weren’t going to play along Frankie” you whisper in his ear & hand him a cold corona that you also got out of the ice box.

“I’d never break her heart, we just need to know what she wishes for”

“True” you softly kiss the side of his face & ruffles that hair. It’s going a bit crazy today. Unkept but you like it like that.

“What if she wishes for a brother or sister & it’s not the right gender?” Frankie questions as he turned to you, his hand glides over your dress. your 7 month baby bump showing. It’s taken a while for you to conceive your second, you’d given up trying after 2 years but then you got lucky. This September Baby will be loved & cherished just like you both will do anything for Bea. You were told you could find out the gender but much like with your daughter you both decided not to.

“Well maybe we could work on getting her another one” you say. A twinkle in your eye matches Frankie’s smirk.

“This squishy was hard enough to get beautiful, but I’d be more than up for trying again”

“Of course he would” Pope shouts as he & his two step boys & your daughter walk up nearer the beach to you. Everyone’s here for the annual group cook out you have every year. Frankie, Bea & you & the dog Mylo moved to the sandy beaches & keys of Florida 2 years ago, & this cook out that you do has finally come to it being your turn so that Frankie can have all his guys back together & they can remember their late captain. You’ve still never asked about that mission, you just are there to rub Frankie’s back at 3am sometimes when he has nightmares from it. It’s not so regular anymore but you can still sense his sorrow every now & then.

“Pope” he shouts back sarcastically & Bea comes & grabs you.

“What just saying, when you guys used to stay at ours we could hear the bed creek from our room”

“Pope there’s kids here” you say. almost all the guys have had their own kids or met women with kids already that there’s now a lot of you at this cook out.

“Thought you said they need to be worldly wise” Pope says.

“He has a point” you playfully hit Frankie & then so does Bea. “Hey” she giggles & then kisses your cheek.

“Bea only mama is allowed to hit daddy okay”

“I’ll bet” says pope. You roll your eyes as Frankie giggles.

“Come on Bea let’s get you some food.” You lift her up & take her to her seat at the table & bring across her favourite Crisps & a hot dog.

The whole afternoon is brilliant. Everyone catches up & has fun & played with everyone’s kids. It’s like you all just saw each other yesterday. You sit on the sand, with Bea building a sandcastle, she starts to rub her eyes feeling a little tired. She’s been running about all day with her friends trying to keep the pace with kids running in & out of the crystal clear sea who are twice her age.

“No don’t rub your eyes bumble bee, you’ll get sand in them” you say as Frankie comes to look at what you’re doing.

“Wow you built that with mama Bea”

“Yea daddy look” she points & Frankie sits next to her.

“Ahh you’ve still got one more bucket to go though” he says seeing one upside down. He picks up the child spade. “Ready for the magic tap?” Bea claps excitedly.

“Okay”

“Good, mama can count as well”

“1, 2, 3” the three of you say in unison as Frankie taps the bucket & then pulls it off the sand to show the completed sand castle.

“Wow” say Bea. Then Frankie grabs her & picks her up.

“Come on bumble bee let’s fly you too the sea to get some water to fill up the moat”

“Weeeeeeee tooo the seaaaaa” she screams with laughter as Frankie makes her fly like a bird under his arm & they both laugh. You sit there on the sand looking at your world, running down the beach having just such a fun & simple time. Not a care in the world. The sun is out but it’s not to hot & you’ve just been you all day. Amongst friends & very happy just chilling watching everyone you love get along. You rub your bump & whisper to it.

“This is your world my squishy, your mama, daddy & Bea can’t wait to meet you” it then kicks back at you & you beam. If anyone sees your eyes filling up you can say it’s from the lowering sun but it’s actually just your emotions at how perfect your life finally is & how good today has been.

Bea is tucked up in bed as Frankie kisses her head.

“You gonna fall to sleep” he says as he hands her, her favourite cuddly toy to sleep with.

“Yes daddy me & bob are going to dream” Bob is ugly bumblebee toy that one of your work friends got you when you had the baby, but it means the world to your own little Bea. No matter how hideous it is now.

“You’re going to dream” you say as you tuck her hair behind her ear. “Dream of what”

“A castle made of hot dogs” she reply’s which makes Frankie laughs. You softly smile.

“Wow now that would be a dream”

“With a massive boat”

“She means moat” Frankie whispers.

“Wow thats would be amazing.”

“Do you dream mama” Bea asks as you sit in the end of the bed.

“Every night”

“what of”

“Oooh we’d be here far too long Bea & you have had a long tiring day”

“But mama”

“No Bea your mums right” Frankie says as he lays his head next to her. “You need your sleep otherwise there won’t be any dreams.” Frankie is secretly glad Bea didn’t ask him about this own dreams. He never wants her to have nightmares he’s so protective of her.

“Will my wish still come true?” She asks. You & Frankie look at each other. You’d both forgotten about the shell. You see it on her bed side table & pick it up, listening carefully. Bea giggles.

“It’s still whistling” Frankie nods approvingly. “It’s working on that wish what was it Bea” you say. Both you & Frnakie waiting with bated breath.

“For what uncle Pope said to come true”

You & Frankie look bemused at each other.

“Okay so what did uncle Pope say”

“For daddy & mummy to be happy & scream in delight” Bea yawns, grabbing her toy. Both you & Frankie have turned red.

“Oooh I’m sure that will happen Bea” you say & kiss her forehead, her eyes closing as she loses her battle to stay awake. Frankie properly tucks her in & then sits with her for a few more minutes, to make sure she’s completely asleep. You don’t Hoover to far from the door way. You like watching Frnakie be soft. You might have fallen for the hardened army pilot with a drug problem, but what you really got was a soft teddy bear who wanted it be loved, & give all that love back. As you sigh standing in the door frame Frankie turns to face you. He slowly stands up & kisses Bea once more, before he slowly makes his way to you. She’s sound asleep probably already dreaming.

His lips meet yours once he’s there. Your hands delve into that crazy mop of hair, your heart racing, every nerve shreded. This is the man you love, your husband, father to your babies.

“So” Frankie says. “Do I go hit Pope for insinuating stuff to our little girl that she can’t understand, or do I thank him” he says as he moves your own hair off your face.

“Hit him & thank him, but do it tomorrow” you say & you grab Frankie’s hand & lead him to your bedroom.

“Yes mama” he says as he smacks your bum following your lead to make sure that your little Beas wish really did come true, even though she’d never be able to see it.

#frankie friday #come on baby #chef frankie lets you order off menu #that's not icing on your cinnamon roll #that's not even a cinnamon roll #rate and review us on yelp

Jo got very warm reading this one. Especially with the mention of Frankie.

Don’t mind us if we call you baby, and tell you you’re doing good for us—it’s a habit.

With a respectful and consensual and pleasantly moist forehead kiss, Megan & Jo.

Got a suggestion for a new tagline at the b&b? Our box is wide open and waiting!

Maura didn't like to ask for anything. She was always aware that her interpersonal relationships were built on borrowed time, that they could always disappear in a moment. In the morgue it was different, but outside her domain, even in the field, it was so much harder to ask.

It was one of those cases, one of those bad cases with kids, tiny bodies. Jane usually stayed over after those, or took Maura back to her place, and this time she hadn't. It made Maura wonder what she'd done wrong. It made Maura feel alone, it was a change and changes usually didn't bode well.

The door opened, and Jo Friday trotted in.

"Sorry, Frankie's on late tonight and the dog walker had a thing," Jane said, closing the door behind her.

"Stay," Maura said, not quite asking.

"Yeah, of course," Jane said, shrugging off her jacket, dropping takeaway on the counter. "That's why I brought Jo." Jane started unpacking containers, looked up, brow scrunched. "You ok?"

"Just... long day," Maura exhaled, and Jane watched her a moment longer. She dropped the food, walked around the counter.

"I've got you," Jane said, wrapping her arms around Maura.

With Jane she never had to ask, but she did anyway.

"Stay?" Maura asked, and Jane nodded wordlessly, holding Maura tighter.

i missed them, but i needed this. i needed a reminder that jo is still jo, and being a butterfly won’t fix everything either.

cw: panic attack

•

•

•

“Jo? What's wrong, baby?” His voice is soft and gentle, comforting even, but it still feels like nails racing down a chalkboard.

My insides are burning. Every kind of storm is waging war inside of me. My chest heaves, but I remain frozen. My stomach shakes, threatening to topple me over, but I don’t. My eyes leak acid tears, but I don’t move to wipe them.

“I don’t know! I don’t know, Harry!” His hands reach out to hold me, and his face buries into my neck, pressing kisses from my temple to my shoulder. I know that he means well, but they sound like he’s screaming. Every sound slams into my eardrums and overwhelms my senses. I can’t breathe right now with him so close to me.

“Stop, please.” I push away from him and I feel how badly it hurts him, I know he just wants to help, so another sob wracks my chest. Another thing to add to the pile that is crushing me from the inside.

My head is so heavy, the pressure pushes tears from my eyes but they aren’t offering any relief. They just clog my sinuses so that I really can’t breathe, so that I'm gasping for air, begging for even a moment of relief.

I was so foolish to think that days like this were behind me. I was foolish to think that happiness would cure illness and that my sick mind wouldn’t find a way to warp my beautiful life into something that could hurt me.

Always a stupid girl, never learns. Look at you know? Look how you’ve hurt him? He’s standing there watching you, scared for you, and you can’t even get your shit together long enough to let him comfort you? He’s your husband for god sakes, you must make him feel awful. A truly crushing disappointment you are, can’t manage simpl-

“Breathe, Jo.” His voice cuts through, as I stand and stare at my tear stained reflection in the mirror that hangs in our bedroom. He moves in front of her, pulling my eyes to his beautiful face. He’s tired too, I know it.

No shit, imagine how much easier his life would be if he married a woman who wasn’t fucking crazy. How often do you think that he regrets it? He can’t leave you though, not yet, it would make him look bad, he-

“Jojo, baby, look at me.” My frantic eyes find his and soften, I can’t help it. Eyes that I’ve looked into a million times. Eyes that have comforted me for so long, now hold the smallest hint of fear. “Will you breathe with me? Can I hold your hand?”

I nod and hold shakey fingertips out in his direction. He takes my hand in both of his and rubs small circles on the palm of my hand. The tears are slowing down, but my stomach is still shaking. My chest is still sputtering for air. “Breathe with me baby, it’s okay.” His voice is soft and low, it warms me, pours into my ears and down through my body like warm honey.

I watch him intently, and breathe slowly, trying to match my breath with the movement of his body. I swear I can almost feel him breathe, like If we tried hard enough he could breathe for me, and I know that he would if he could. I know that he’d cure me if he could.

That’s the thing about mental illness, it’s illness. It’s a sickness that doesn’t really have a cure, just treatments. The treatments work, most of the time, at least for me, but I swear that my brain gets mad that it’s not hurting me and so it switches things up and that treatment doesn’t work anymore. It’s an exhausting game, but it’s one that I’ll keep playing. I’ll keep playing because it’s worth it, he’s worth it, this life is worth it.

Grilled cheese sandwiches and movie nights and Friday nights out with Frankie make it worth it. Hearing my dad laugh and watching Miranda blush over her new boyfriend and seeing Nicki rub her baby belly make it worth it. Seeing people's faces light up when they look in the mirror and see themselves for the first time, makes it worth it. Harry in the morning and at night and on stage and in bed and standing in our kitchen. Harry when he touches me, when he kisses me, when he smiles for me. Harry when he makes me laugh and when we sing in the car. Sunday mornings make it worth it. Harry makes me feel like I’m worth it.

Suddenly the shaking stops, and the weight is ripped from my chest, and I can breathe again. The relief makes my legs wobble and more tears flow, but their tears of relief, and he knows. He knows because he walks towards me and envelops me in his arms. His large hand sprawls across my back and he rubs up and down in a gentle wave. His other hand holds the back of my head as I gently weep into the crook of his neck.

I want to apologize for being cold and pushing him away, but it gets stuck in my throat. Admitting to cruelty to anyone other than my reflection is still hard.

“Sorry,” It’s a ghost of a whisper against his skin, but he hears it.

“S’okay darling, just a case of the mean reds, yeah?” Another tear rolls but I smile at his reference and I soften in his hold, knowing that he understands. He’s not mad at me. He loves me, and we’ll be okay.

“Let's go to bed, yeah? Give your head some sleep and fill it full of good dreams, and then we’ll try again tomorrow.” I nod in agreement and detach myself from him, holding his fingers loosely in mine as we make our way upstairs and to the bedroom. I peel the sweatshirt from my sticky skin, and shiver as the fresh air reaches me. It’s refreshing, which is a welcome feeling. I push the sweat pants down my legs and stretch down toward my toes, feeling my body appreciate the movement after a day of being tense and on edge.

I crawl into bed, beside my beautiful husband, and melt against his warm skin. Skin to skin, warmth and love and understanding pulse between us while his fingertips draw lazy circles on my back and my breath scatters across his chest.

“Do you want to go for a hike tomorrow? It’s supposed to be beautiful, fresh air might be nice.” I know he feels me grimace against him and he laughs.

“That sounds awful, but I guess I’ll do it for you.”

“We can go to the gym and swing too, if you’d like.”

“Ooh! Can I kick your ass on the punching bags again!?” He stops laughing and I know he’s rolling his eyes.

He takes a heavy sigh and smiles while he says, “Anything for you, darling.”

Jo tossed you a beer from the kitchen. She was already a couple of drinks ahead of you. Not quite wasted, but she would admit to being a bit tipsy. She made her way to the couch and collapsed beside you. "Drink faster," Jo whined. "Being drunk alone is no fun."

"Then why did you start drinking without me?" Even so, you chugged on the drink. "So, unless this is what you usually do on a Friday night, something's bothering you."

"You need another drink." Jo moved to get up, but you grabbed her arm. She let out a long sigh. "Frankie is dating Phoenix."

"You liked Frankie?" You asked.

"We were fucking and I thought-" she started. "Whatever. I'll just go to Spencer's tomorrow and...get another drink."

You followed Jo into the kitchen. "You deserve better."

There were only three beers left. "Take two," Jo mumbled. "You need to catch up."

You took the beers from her hand and set them on the counter. Your arms wrapped around her neck. For a split second, Jo felt better. Something fell into place. Maybe it was the alcohol, but Jo felt safe.

You let go to sip on the beer, but Jo felt unprepared. She wanted to keep you in her arms for a lifetime.

"Do you usually get drunk to deal with your emotions?" You said with a cough.

Jo laughed. "No, I just like to make cute girls feel sorry for me." Cute? Jo looked away from you uncomfortably.

"I don't feel sorry for you." You tossed the two empty beer cans in the garbage. "You're amazing even if you're wasted."

"I've only had four. You had three." Jo grabbed your hand. "Whatever. Dance with me."

Jo put her arms around your waist, while you giggled slightly. Jo pulled you closer to her, and your hands wrapped around your neck. She liked the way your fingers tugged at the tips of her hair.

"We could play music." You murmured.

Jo hummed, but didn't let go of you. She glanced down at you. The room shifted beneath her feet, and Jo stumbled. She was beginning to feel the effects of the alcohol.

She closed her eyes. This was a perfect night. Then Jo lost her balance, falling on top of you. Well, almost perfect. Her face flushed. "You okay?"

You nodded.

"Did I...did I sweep you off your feet?" Jo smirked.

Jo propped herself up. She was still hovering over you feeling frozen.

"Jo," you slurred.

"Oh fuck," Jo whispered. "I didn't..."

"Shut up and kiss me."

Jo obliged. Her lips collided into yours in a messy, desperate expression of emotion.

~~~

Jo woke up with a figure pressed against her. She wanted to pinch herself but was afraid to wake the sleeping girl that she was spooning. If it weren't for her pounding headache, she would have thought this - you - were a dream.

She heard a groan and her heart pounded. "Morning, princess," Jo whispered.

"Don't talk so loud," you mumbled.

Jo could feel you shifting under the sheets and released you from her arms. Suddenly, she felt an uncertainty. What if you regretted last night? What if you thought she was a creep who got you drunk on purpose?

You turned towards Jo. "Did you just call me princess?"

Jo's face turned to red as she searched for an excuse. Maybe she was still a little drunk or...

"I like it. It's cute," you said.

Jo was never flustered. She was always the one guiding the conversation. Right now her wit was failing her. "Um so about last night..."

You nodded. "Yeah?"

Jo froze feeling stupid.

You laughed and kissed her on the cheek. "Don't worry, Jo. I know it didn't mean anything."

"You do?" The high that Jo woke up with sunk. Suddenly, she could feel the full effect of her hangover.

"We were drunk and horny." You sounded so sure. Jo couldn't catch a hint of doubt in your voice. "Besides, you just ended it with Frankie."

"I'm glad we're on the same page." She couldn't correct you. Jo got out of bed a little unsteadily. "I should go buy that vibrator."

You followed her out of bed. "Wait, Jo," you grabbed the bra from her hand.

Jo nodded. "Give me my bra."

You tossed it to her. "I think I'm better than a toy."

"What?"

You stepped towards her pulling her into a quick kiss. "Call me sometime, and we can..."

And this year’s camping trip has been solidified! This year, July 1st - 6th, Lima Heights students will be taking a break from classes and activities to camp at Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. All students are required to attend as well as the Headmasters, faculty and guards will be attending as well. (Information is under the cut because it is long, but it’s all IC info unless specifically stated it’s OOC).

No drug use of any kind will be tolerated. Additionally, underage drinking will not be tolerated.

Each student must be in their assigned campsites between 1am-6am. 

No one is to leave the campground without an escort - school escort rules apply (meaning 2+ doms can’t go alone and 2+ subs can’t go alone. Must be mix of marks. We are relaxing on the number of each who can go outside the campground together.)

All planned excursions are mandatory. 

ASSIGNMENTS

The following are the assignments per campsite. Each site is semi-secluded and can hold each of the 2-room tents (there are two tents per site) and 4 queen sized air mattresses being provided. Bathrooms are communal with showers and electricity. Each site has electric hook ups, fire pit, wood and pots/pans/utensils for cooking/eating, coolers, etc.

spare soft frankie x reader content 🥺 ? maybe like them confessing feelings or something?? i just listened to jlp like two hours ago and now i’m in love with both celia & frankie 🥺 (also all ur fics are amazing i adore them!!)

Anonymous said:

first date

so sorry this has just been sitting in my ask box for uh… weeks now. but thanks to both (?) of you for requesting :) it’s real frankie loving hours rn.

870 words

cw: gnreader.

you absentmindedly twirled your pen around in your fingers. counting the ticks of the clock wasn’t very fun, but it was better than listening to your teacher drone on about… whatever it was they were talking about. if we’re being honest here, you haven’t been paying attention. but it’s not like you were being a bad student or anything, nothing educational was happening today. it was friday before break, none of the teachers were going to actually try.

”this day has been completely useless.” frankie said to you once your teacher stopped talking.

”ugh i agree. i wish i didn’t come.”

”why did you? i mean, everyone knew it was going to be like this.” frankie gestured around the classroom. the normal 30 something class size was cut down to just a third.

”i’d get detention if i didn’t. i’ve had to many unexcused absences this semester. what about you?”

”parents made me. do you skip school or something?” frankie quickly redirected the conversation back to you.

”technically, yeah. but i do all the work at home, so it’s not like i’m really missing anything, just the physical place.”

frankie and you were pretty good friends. you talked during your shared classes, and occasionally texted each other memes. but you never really hung out together. frankie was always with jo, and if you’re being honest, jo kind of intimidated you. so it surprised you when frankie said, “do you want to hang out this weekend. that is, if you’re not busy.”

”oh, um. yeah, sure. my only plans had been watching some youtube, and i can easily reschedule that.” you chuckled softly.

frankie looked excited, but she also looked like she didn’t know what to say next. because she didn’t say anything.

”uhm are you going to text me your address, or something.”

frankie cleared her throat, “i was actually thinking we could go to this really cool coffee place near my house, is that fine with you?”

”i don’t drink coffee.” you said dryly.

”oh, well, uh. they have other stuff that you cou-”

”i’m just kidding, frankie. as long as there’s sugar, i’ll be fine.”

the two of you awkwardly laughed, and said goodbye as the bell rang.

you went your separate ways. you were left to your thoughts, is this a date? did frankie just ask you out on a date? you had never really considered it, being with frankie, but you kind of liked the idea of it.

the next day, you spent an hour trying to figure out the perfect outfit. what were you supposed to wear to a winter coffee maybe date? unfortunately google was no help.

an alarm went off on your phone. looking down at your outfit, you didn’t hate it, so that’s what you were going to wear.

”hey!” frankie greeted you once you finally arrived. she jumped up and hugged you. your heart jumped out of your chest.

you noticed the two drinks already sitting at the table frankie claimed. “is, uh. is jo here?” if jo was here, this was definitely not a date. so of course you hoped jo wasn’t here.

”what?” she followed your gaze, “oh, no. i hope you don’t mind, i got you something. it’s a caramel macchiato, which is basically just sugar.”

you sat across from each other. “how did you know what i normally order?” you grinned.

”is it really?” she looked impressed with herself.

”when i drink coffee, it’s this hardly coffee stuff.” you wrapped your cold hands around the warm cup. you smiled as the drink warmed your insides.

the two of you settled into your normal pattern of conversation. which was; random train of thought. no logical flow, just whatever you think of, you say. but it was pretty clear to you that frankie was holding back something. you didn’t want to pry, but there was a lull.

”what are you thinking?” you asked.

she looked into your eyes, then quickly glanced away. she took a deep breath before saying, “ithinkyou’rereallyprettyandcoolandiwantedtoaskyououtbutiendedupsayinghangoutinsteadandifeelalittlestupidaboutitandijust…” [if you don’t feel like trying to decipher that, it says: i think you’re really pretty and cool and i wanted to ask you out but i ended up saying hang out instead and i feel a little stupid about it and i just…]

you stared at her for a second, just processing what she said.

”you think i’m pretty?” you smiled.

frankie giggled, “yeah…you, uh, got the other stuff, right?”

”yes.” you said. you then realized that you should probably keep talking when frankie nudged you on with her eyes. “and, i would love for this to be a date.”

frankie leaned in closer to you, “and… what about me being your girlfriend…”

”you never said anything about being my girlfriend.” you cheesed.

”well i am now, what do you think?” asked frankie.

”ma’am, who do you think i am? officially going out before the third date… what kind of person do you think i am?” you joked.

franke giggled, “so i need to take you out on two more dates?”

”i said what i said. and make ‘em interesting. not just more coffee, although you are right, this place is really good.”

”i’m up to that challenge.”

Little Beast's Merit Badge S’mores, part of the Maker Series, releases in Oregon and Washington late October/early November.

Press Release

Portland, OR -- Little Beast Brewing announced today the upcoming release of Merit Badge S’mores Imperial Stout, the first beer in the brewery’s Maker Series. In Oregon, the beer is available beginning Saturday, October 26 at 12:00pm exclusively at the Little Beast Brewing Beer Garden in SE Portland. In Seattle, Merit Badge will be served for on-site consumption at both Hot Cakes Molten Chocolate Cakery restaurants during a November 1 beer release, and sold to-go exclusively at both Chuck’s Hop Shop locations.

A full-bodied and luscious confection ale, Merit Badge is 11% ABV and is brewed with whole ingredients including 1.5 pounds of Meridian Cacao Co.’s Tanzanian cacao nibs per barrel, graham flour, cinnamon, vanilla, and organic dry-burned caramel syrup from Hot Cakes in Seattle for an extra layer of complexity. The malt bill includes Briess cherrywood smoked malt and German beechwood smoked malt for extra campfire flavor.

Merit Badge represents the first beer in Little Beast’s new food-based Maker Series, which aims to highlight, through quarterly collaborations, the exquisite craftsmanship of specialty food artisans. The first in the series is a collaboration with Hot Cakes, a Seattle dessert restaurant founded by confection maker Autumn Martin, and is directly inspired by the organic s’mores molten hot cake served at Hot Cakes.

“Before starting Little Beast my career and passion was in specialty food. I worked directly with food artisans that inspired me with their integrity of process and ingredients,” said Little Beast co-founder Brenda Crow. “Autumn is one of those artisans, and she is one of the most creative people I know. She was a chocolatier, she runs a plant-based ice cream shop called Frankie & Jo's, and she opened up Hot Cakes, which serves extraordinary desserts, packaged confections, and other sweet things. When we dreamed up the Maker Series, Autumn’s Hot Cakes was always going to be our first collaboration.”

Beer release information

Portland, OR - On October 26 at 12:00pm Little Beast will release Merit Badge to the public at their year-round beer garden in SE Portland. The brewery produced only a couple kegs and 75 cases of the beer, fourteen of which will be sent to Seattle. 4-packs cost $22 and are limited to six 4-packs per customer.

During the beer release, Little Beast will also serve Hot Cakes S’mores molten chocolate cake until sold out. The dessert is made with smoked chocolate, marshmallow, and graham crumble. Alongside Merit Badge, Little Beast will release the 2018 vintage of Radical Forces, a 10.7% adventuresome beer with loads of 2018 whole cluster Pinot Noir grapes from Echo Hill Vineyard in North Plains, Oregon.

Seattle, WA - On Friday November 1, Little Beast will release Merit Badge for on-site drinking at both Hot Cakes Molten Chocolate Cakery locations in Seattle. Both restaurants will receive two cases and will serve a specialty dessert to pair with the decadent S’mores beer. Little Beast co-founders, Brenda Crow and Charles Porter, will be at the Capitol Hill location to say hi to sweet-toothed fans beginning at 4:00pm.  

In Washington, to-go 4-packs of Merit Badge are available exclusively at Chuck’s Hop Shop beginning November 1. Both Chuck’s Hop Shop locations will receive five cases of the beer.
