Christmas Office Party

》 WIP for the Miguel's Secretary story, one of the little parts that is mostly inconsequential and will be expanded. Also trans flag snowflakes because I found them.

You never quite liked secret Santa, it would be infinitely better if you got someone and they knew so you could get them something they wanted instead of shooting in the dark or getting them a gag gift. But as luck would have it there was an office secret Santa and there was an uneven number so you had to join. Luckily, Miles wasn't too hard to shop for. A few color pencils would have done it but you weren't that cheap, especially for him. That and it wouldn't do for an office setting.

He unwrapped it and was kind of confused before he thanked the room for whoever gave him the briefcase. You chimed in and said he should open it effectively outing yourself, you didn't care in the slightest. The look on his face was priceless. Miles was an adult, sure, but you knew the look of a kid at the tree in the morning. The sense of pride almost made you brag so you took a drink of your eggnog.

When Hobie's turn came it was really nice. It was a bunch of little things, jacket pins, guitar picks, black things, silver things, even a loc needle. He was genuinely surprised before his smile turned smug. "Thanks, big man." Looking straight at Miguel.

Miguel's previous unbothered state became annoyed very fast. "Why can't you ever be quiet?" You did find it amusing, so did most of the office. He looked annoyed but seven months with him told you he was embarrassed.

Later, during the actual party, you were looking for a chance to slip away quietly. But when you found that moment Miguel left and it would waste all of the effort of sneaking if he saw you, because knowing him he was probably going to his office for something. You waited till he came back and took the next moment. You grabbed your purse and 'went to the bathroom for lady issues'.

His office was unlocked so that made it easier for time. You took a little box wrapped in green paper and a yellow bow out of your purse and placed it on his desk before slipping back out. But from the door, while you weren't making your get-away, you could see your work station and there was something on it. A long thin box wrapped in dark blue and tied with a red ribbon. You couldn't help laughing. Great minds think alike.

Neither of you said anything on Tuesday. Miguel had a new watch no one blinked an eye at. You had a red tie everyone saw and asked about because you were never one to wear ties. All you said was someone important gave it to you and it became the word around the office with the endless question about who it was. Jess tried the 'girl to girl' thing. Pavitr said please and if anyone else gave you the tie you would have told him. Even Hobie was getting into the mix. But you didn't move an inch.

"Okay, now that the kids are gone, who is it? Stays between you and me." Peter asked in the buddy-buddy way he did everything. It was at this point starting to die down but Peter wanted to know, if not to have a laugh to be in with you.

"They're still adults." You responded. You wouldn't be a very good secretary if you broken under any kind of pressure, this was nothing. All week not a word came out of you and that wasn't going to change.

"Do I know 'em or are they an outside source?"

It was clear to you this was going to become school yard talk and you were ready for rapid fire answers. "You're just as bad as the kids."

"Family?"

"It's cute you think I'm going to tell you."

"Boyfriend?"

Ha, I wish. "Like I said, I'm not saying anything."

"Girlfriend?"

"Changing the gender isn't going to change my answers."

"Brother?"

"I have work to do."

"Sister?"

"I already said genders didn't make a difference."

"An estranged child."

"You're covering a lot of ground to get the same answer."

"Leave her alone, Parker." Miguel said as he walked past and into his office. There wasn't an inch of malice which was a switch. A month ago he would have told the both of you to get back to work. Maybe the holiday has mellowed him out.

Peter didn't quip back or talk shit, he furrowed his brows. The way he turned to you was with an actual question, like he had the answer but it was too far removed from the subject. "Is it Miguel?"

You didn't skip and word or react. "Being specific isn't going to get you an answer either."

McCartney bop inspiration uncovered!

It actually makes a lot of sense that Macca would be reading this book around the time Secretary was recorded, since he was probably interested in the book after Peter Sellers was cast in Hal Ashby's 1979 film.

it would be funny if peter, johnny, natasha, and felicia all worked at nelson and murdock while barely concealing their secret identities.

..Heh! Thanks for all the ammo. 😏 Heard they're having a water balloon fight over there, and there’s someone I've been really looking forward to saying hello to.

Rumour is, he’s a real scumbag.

still rabid over how Hoffman probably kept Strahm's pen and imagining a kind of Secretary (2002) au where he has a lil desk he put the pen on when he gets off thinking about him

[strawberriesinmoominvalley]

Wanda struggled as she lifted the explosion surrounding Rumlow up, her body shaking. She’d almost made it high enough when her focus slipped and she let go of the explosion, taking out the entirety of a floor of a building.

Natasha could hear screams around her but she scanned for Pietro, finding him staring at Wanda. He glanced at Nat, shock on his face.

“Get your sister to the plane. Now.”

OR due to the incident at lagos, the sokovia accords are created. natasha and clint don't know what path to take, which one will keep their family safe. everyone has different opinions and the time of the avengers may come to a close

but what happens when the signing of the accords is attacked and bucky is blamed? was it really steve's best friend, now the winter soldier? and why does there seem to be more than one supersoldier running around vienna?

chapter two: ross presents the accords

Secretary!Trilogy!Peter finding out he's in love with you

It was unfortunate how he found out. You'd already been working together for three years when you came to work completely distraught and ended up telling him your house was broken into. It was fine to go back to, all the doors closed and the lights worked, but it didn't feel safe. So he asked you to stay at his for a few day because you didn't want to go to anyone else. Your parents were high maintenance and this whole thing was stressful enough. Your brother would bring a gun with him and you didn't want a gun in your house. And you would be damned before you went to your extended family. Peter was very accommodating and slept in the living room with you. It was then he realized he was in love.

It wasn't 'if I was there I could've taken him' but 'I want her to feel safe with me'. It wasn't a primal possessive lust or a swelling sweet smell. It was just there, a gentle poof on his chest telling him what it was. And that made him feel a little bit selfish. Would it be so bad if you just didn't leave? All he allowed himself to do it touch your nose and make pancakes in the morning.

The Antislavery Activist That Time Forgot: Historian Walter Stahr on Salmon P. Chase

Historical biographer Walter Stahr has given us definitive biographies of William H. Seward and Edwin Stanton, two of the ablest and most influential members of President Abraham Lincoln’s cabinet. Earlier this year, Stahr followed those books with the definitive biography of Salmon P. Chase, Treasury secretary under Lincoln and one of the country’s most important antislavery lawyers, one of the few who defended fugitive slaves against state and federal prosecutors. After his stint as a lawyer, Chase was elected to represent Ohio in the US Senate, where he was instrumental in helping to settle the slavery question in the United States. Chase also served as governor of Ohio and then as Treasury secretary, where he standardized the dozens of currencies then being issued by local banks and gave us a national currency and a system of national banks. Spend an hour learning about this man, who contributed greatly to the country but whom almost no one today remembers.

is there a backstory as to why Elizabeth wears so many Frampton t-shirts?

Ohh, I love this, because it's me!

So at first there was just 1, and I posted on twitter about it, and then Peter Frampton reached out to Tea and I believe he even got to visit, if I remember correctly, he was there for a party at the McCords home as a cameo. Also Tea loves Frampton!
