#sit in a sterile box all day buy all your food from the store sit down and watch tv and never meaningfully experience being a part of nature

[oglegoggle]

I honestly don’t get how many people get upset about the notion of putting down an animal that attacks people? Like dude? Yeah it’s 100% reasonable to eat the goddamn rooster that slashed up your kid’s face. It eliminates the problem and it’s delicious. Americans are so squeamish about death that they either refuse to acknowledge that the meat they get from the store comes from an animal that was once alive or they decide that no animals should ever be eaten ever under any circumstances and both are utterly dipshit opinions.

Making Money from a Mini Farm: A Series

Raising hatchlings

When faced with the idea of starting your flock, the idea of having to buy an incubator and start from scratch can be quiet daunting.  That’s why most people will buy already hatched chicks.  You can help by for this market by completing some simple steps.

1) Pick your species, breed, and color

Just like selling eggs, you’re going to need a pure bred flock to make any money.  But you don’t have to limit yourself to one flock of chickens and call it a day.  Since species won’t interbreed, you can have chickens, guinea fowl, peafowl, and ducks while maintaining purebred fowl.  Be warned though, some fowl can carry parasites that are fine in that species, but deadly in another.  So while chickens can carry blackhead without harm to them, this parasite is deadly to peafowl and turkey.  So deworming is of extra importance in mixed flocks. Note: It is possible for a guniea hen to be breed by a rooster or peacock.  The eggs are usually sterile and if hatched, the chicks rarely live to adulthood.  However, it is possible.

2) How to know what to choose

Ask local feed stores what kind of breeds they will be selling.  Chain stores will often not be able to buy from you, but smaller stores will.

Create a poll in a local Facebook group and ask which breed people would buy/are looking to buy right now

Check Craigslist to selling.  You don’t want to flood the market, but if you see a few posts for one breed and the prices are consistently high, that means there is demand for that breed

Join local or online poultry groups

Attend poultry auctions or swaps

Make sure to stay away from fad breeds. These are just that, a fad, and will not usually be the desired breed the next year.  An example of that this year (2021) is the ayam cemani.  It is also advisable for you to stay away from chicken breeds that can be sexed at hatching.  Although the hen chicks will command a higher price than straight run (non sexed) chicks, you will be stuck with the male chicks.  This leaves you the option of raising them to adulthood and selling mature roosters (a noisy and labor intensive endeavor), or raising the roosters to 16-20 weeks old before taking them to a butcher or slaughtering them yourself.

An important note to consider: good quality stock will not come from hatcheries or catalogs. If you truly want to raise a desired and sought-out flock, be willing to pay for quality stock to begin with. Find breeders sanctioned by the ABA and APA at poultry shows or online.

3) Incubating

There are two basic ways to incubate.  One, you collect the eggs and incubate them in a machine.  Two, you let  the hens incubate them.  Different breeds have different tendencies to sit on eggs and hatch them.  This is called broodiness.  Some species, like the Rhode Island Red, will very rarely set on eggs, while others, like the Silkie, are so broody that they hatch eggs from different species. When a hen goes broody, she will sit on the eggs she has gathered for at least four weeks.  During this time, she will only leave to eat, drink, and eliminate.  She will peck at others who attempt to disturb her and will not lay any further eggs. For you, this means no keeping track of turning eggs or keeping the humidity perfect.  The downside is that this results in very few chicks each year as a flock of five hens will not produce more than 64 chicks at the most.  It is possible to put eggs from different species under very broody hens who will raise them as their own.  

So who is most likely to go broody?

Guinea hens:  Guineas are seasonal layers, and typically in most areas a hen can brood a clutch in the spring, raise them up until they can survive on their own, then breed again and start laying and hatch out one more clutch later in the year. Some hens manage three broods per year. A hen will normally lay 20-30 eggs at a time then go broody and if the eggs are taken or if she abandons the nest after going broody on it for a while for some reason (usually predators) she'll usually take a week or two to start laying again, and give it another try. If you don't let your hens go broody you can collect anywhere from 150-200 eggs per year.

Peafowl:  Pen hens will not breed until two years old, and pea cocks will not start until three years old.   Clutch size varies between 4 -12 eggs with 6 being the average. If you remove eggs while the peahen sits on them, she will continue to lay through the whole breeding season. Peahens will lay eggs in about three cycles during the season if you continually pick up the eggs daily. They may lay for a month straight and then stop laying for seven to ten days before starting to lay again. Peahens usually go broody about twice a year.

Ducks:  Very willing to go broody.  Will usually start after they’ve gathered between 8-16 eggs in a clutch. When eggs are removed daily, ducks can lay as many as 200-300 eggs in a year.

Chickens:  So breed dependent that you will have to research your individual breed

Incubating the eggs yourself: Store eggs at 50-60° F as lower and higher temperatures may reduce hatchability. Hatching eggs should not be kept in a refrigerator because the temperature is too low.  Eggs that have cracks, have thin shells, shells with ridges, or are excessively dirty or abnormal in size or shape should not be kept for hatching. Excessively large or small eggs are often not fertile and shouldn’t be set in the incubator.  For best results, hatching eggs should not be stored for more than 10-14 days before they are set. They should be stored in egg cartons with the small end of the egg down and held at a slant and turned twice a day. One simple method of turning the eggs is to prop one end of the carton up on an object at an angle of about 35° and then just shift which end is elevated twice a day to keep the yolk from sticking to the shell and have a malformed chick.

Incubators can range from the simple (you do all the work) to the complex (just pop them in and forget about them).  

4) After the Chicks Hatch

The chick can and should remain in the incubator for about 15-24 hours after hatching.

After 24 hours, the chick should be removed from the incubator and placed in a box with a clip-on light that is a 75-90 watt bulb. It will then need water and feed.  If you are raising multiple species, do not mix them.  Turkeys will easily trample tiny quail chicks. On the first day, they can be given water. An eyedropper can be a useful tool at this point. And then the next few days, the feed can be mixed with the water, and then the food and water can be left out for them to use as they need it.

And now you have a fluffy day-old chick that can be sold!

A Slow Day at Work

Humming a little melody off-key, Ino flips lazily through a fashion magazine that she found somewhere in the back of the shop. It’s a slow day for Yamanaka Flowers, which means that she has the luxury of standing behind the front counter doing absolutely nothing but perusing through this year’s summer collection. The only people that have come into the shop today had been Kakashi-sensei, who was bashfully asking for a bouquet of purely yellow flowers for reasons he wouldn’t disclose, and Tsunade-sama, who was looking for anything that could be possibly described as pervy. 

At the front of the shop, Ino hears the tell-tale ringing of the door chime and looks up to find Sakura dressed in a white hospital smock. 

 It shouldn’t be any surprise considering that Sakura always comes into the shop on her lunch breaks but, still the sentiment never fails to make her smile. 

 Not that she’ll ever tell her that. 

 As Sakura makes her way over, Ino pushes aside the fashion magazine and whips out a pink-purple floral arrangement from behind the counter. 

 “Here,” Ino says as she hands her the bouquet, “These are for you.”

 Looking down at the flowers in her hand, Sakura shakes her head fondly as a blush spreads across her face. 

 “You’re so lazy, Ino-buta.” she teases before setting aside the floral arrangement.

 With her arms braced against the counter, Ino leans in closer to Sakura. In front of her, Sakura mirrors the action, and soon they’re only a hair-breadth apart, sharing the same air. Up this close, she can smell the faint scent of hospital disinfectant coming from her girlfriend through the overpowering scent of flowers. 

 It’s strange that one of the most comforting scents to Ino is that of sterilizer and decontaminants.

 Well, it’s better than wet-dog (Hinata) and sake (Jiraiya-san). 

 “Hmm, what did I do now?” Ino asks distractedly as she tucks a loose strand of hair back behind Sakura’s ear. 

 Before Ino can pull her hand away, Sakura talks a hold of it. She presses Ino’s palm to the side of her cheek as she mock-pouts at the woman in front of her. 

 “You can’t just order flowers for me from your own flower shop.”

 “Why not?” she questions. 

 “It ruins the appeal of getting flowers!” Sakura complains, even though there’s no real heat behind it.

 Using her free hand, Ino pulls out a small, styrofoam takeaway box from behind the counter. She pushes the still warm container in front of Sakura. 

 “Which is exactly why I also got you these.” Ino says

 Letting go of her hand, Sakura flips open the lid. Her eyes practically light up and her mouth falls open at the sight of what’s in front of her; her favourite food, syrup-coated anko dumplings.

 “Have I ever told you how much I love you!” Sakura squeals as she rushes to grab both sides of Ino’s face, reeling her in for a kiss. 

 Before Ino can meet her halfway, she hears the chimes above the front door jingle as someone enters the shop. 

 Reluctantly pulling away from the kiss, Ino spots Kiba walking into the shop with Mirai-chan sitting high on top of his shoulders, Akamaru trailing behind them. 

 Not realizing who it is, Sakura lets out an annoyed huff. 

 “Saku!” Mirai exclaims as she tugs on Kiba’s hair, making the man wince, “Ino!”

 At the sound of her voice, Sakura’s whole composure does a complete one-eighty. She twists around to see Mirai and immediately rushes over to her, ignoring the anko dumplings on the counter. 

 While Kiba bends down a bit, Sakura holds her hands out towards Mirai, who falls into her grasp right away. 

 “Mirai-chan!” she greets as she settles the child onto her hip, “How’s my favourite little kunoichi!”

 “I am right here.” Ino pipes up from the back.

 Her words go unnoticed as Sakura’s whole attention is towards the little girl in her arms, which is not an unusual occurrence when Mirai is involved. As the two of them giggle about something, Sakura begins to roam around the store with her, pointing at all of the flowers while asking for Mirai’s opinion. 

 Not too far behind them, Akamaru wanders around as well, politely sniffing at all the flowers. 

 Meanwhile, Kiba shakes his head at all of their antics as he saunters over to Ino. 

 “What do you need, Kiba?” Ino asks, “You forget yours and Hinata’s anniversary again?”

 He rolls his eyes at her as he hops onto the countertop, ignoring Ino’s swatting hand as he does so. 

 “Haha.” he says sardonically, “I’ll have you know, it only took me three reminders this year to remember.“

 “Dumbass.”

 “Anyways, I’m just here because Mirai wanted to be here.” Kiba explains, “And totally not because she said I wouldn’t be her best friend if I didn’t buy her a sunflower.”

 From where he’s perched, Kiba begins to lightly kick his legs up. Ino can practically see the glint in his eyes as he notices the takeaway box beside him. Before he can get his grubby little paws on the dumplings, Ino slides the box away from underneath his hands. 

 “Soft-hearted fool.” she comments as she closes the lid of the box before storing it safely behind the counter.

 “Don’t call me soft-hearted.” Kiba snorts, “You once cried while looking at a picture of Sakura because she was so pretty.”

 Her face heats up. 

 “I was drunk!” she hisses at him, “And if you don’t remember, you cried when Hinata said yes to going out with you.”

 Kiba’s own face heats up; his skin almost matching the colour of his markings. 

 “Those were manly tears of joy!” he argues. 

 “Still tears.” she points out.

 Before either of them can get another word out, Sakura and Mirai return to the front with a single sunflower in Mirai’s tiny fist. 

 Jumping down from the counter, Kiba reaches into his pockets to bring out his wallet but Ino stops him with a wave of her hand. 

 “On the house.” she says, “For your manly tears of joy.”

 Laughing a little, Kiba moves closer and lightly flicks Ino in the forehead, much to her disdain. 

 “Thanks, Ino-buta.”

 From beside him, Sakura smacks him upside the head causing Mirai to giggle at Kiba’s pain. 

 “Oi, only I’m allowed to call her that.”

[wanderingcas]

@trenchcoatandfreckles prompt: “bucolic” or “bungalow” in other words: cas moves to the idyllic countryside and meets dean winchester, who owns a garden shop down the road. destiel. 1.7k. fluff. undercurrent of a quiet desperation to escape one’s life.

“So, where you gonna go?” asks Cas’ nosy, but well-meaning, landlord, holding out his hand.  

Cas drops the keys into his open palm. “Somewhere bucolic,” he replies.

Frank wrinkles his nose. “What is that, some kind of sickness?”

Cas picks up the remaining box off the floor, rendering the tiny apartment officially empty. “Sure,” he sighs.

“Well, good luck,” Frank says, wiping his hand on his jeans. “You were one of my best tennants. Hope the next tenant is as dead quiet as you. It was like a tomb in here the whole ten years you were renting, you know.”

“Well. Thank you. I think.” After a tentative handshake with Frank, Cas sees himself and his box of records out.

Two weeks ago, it seemed like a good idea. He was on his stiff couch, wine glass in hand, browsing available bungalows to rent in a rural part of New York that he’d never heard of before. His eyes scanned an available cottage: the honey wood floors, the tucked-in ceilings, the herbs dangling from the kitchen ceiling, sunlight streaming. He looked around his sterile, hyper-modernized studio apartment and there was no contest.

He sent an application for an available house to rent in the same breath that he sent a move-out notice to Frank.

The commute to his current job, of course, would be an hour’s train ride, compounded with the fifteen minute drive to the station. His sister Anna called him last week to inform him that he was possibly having a mid-life crisis.

Now with his apartment all boxed up, and sitting on a train with his box of records and the moving truck a day in front of him, Castiel is beginning to agree with her.

The bungalow Cas rented is nestled between two cherry blossom trees. He feels like he’s read about it in a book somewhere. There’s a daily farmer’s market a mile away, with another empty and unrented bungalow in between. Apart from that, he’s alone but for the birds and fields and sunshine.

He loves the isolation more than he should. He calls in sick to work the first week. Then the next. It morphs into him writing a truncated email to his boss announcing his resignation. He deactivates his email after that.

There’s enough in his savings to get him by, he assures a hysterical Anna over the phone after he breaks the news, and he’ll find a job closer to where he lives. (He again refuses to tell Anna his new address, knowing it’ll only end up in her showing up with a small army to drag him back to the city)

With his self-imposed free time, he starts a garden. The lofty dreams of cooking with fresh herbs and vegetables fill his mind for days, until he’s greeted morning after morning by empty soil with no sprouting green.

He gives up after a week. Googling nearby garden shops points him to the only one within a forty-mile radius: Winchester Hardware & Garden. He rides his bike a couple of miles down the dirt road, past the farmer’s market, to the small, unassuming green building that’s only slightly bigger than his own bungalow.

A bell obnoxiously announces his arrival as he pushes open the rusty screen door. He’s greeted with shelves upon shelves of sloppily organized garden supplies, seed packages, and planters. There’s a counter tucked into the corner with a cash register valiantly craning its neck up from the cluttered mess that surrounds it.

“Just a second!” calls a voice from somewhere amongst the shelves. There’s a crash that follows.

Castiel cranes his neck around one of the shelves, looking for the source of the commotion. “Do you need help?” he calls back.

“Nope, should be good,” assures the disembodied voice, “just this goddamn—” There’s no elaboration as another, louder, crash punctuates the end of the sentence.

Castiel stands awkwardly in the door frame, unsure of whether to help or flee a potential crime scene, when a tanned and dirty-blonde man rounds the corner. He’s clutching something white and pissed off in his arms.

“Sorry about that,” the man says, breathing heavily. He locks his arms tighter against the cat struggling in his arms. “Can I help you with something?”

Castiel stares at the cat. “Was that what all that banging was?”

“Huh? Oh. Yeah.” The man playfully jostles the cat, eliciting a low meow. “She gets into the back of the shelves where all those dangerous tools are, and I have to make sure she doesn’t cut her own head off.”

Castiel doesn’t point out the issue of housing a cat in a store with dangerous tools in the first place. Instead: “I see.”

“Her name’s Fluffy,” the man offers.

“But she has no fur,” Castiel says as Fluffy proudly swishes her naked tail.

“Yeah. It’s hilarious.” The man grins. “My brother picked her up from the side of the road. Kid has a bleeding heart for helpless animals.” Fluffy is deposited on the counter, where she sits and glares; the man turns and crosses his arms. “So, anything you need?”

Castiel rips his gaze from the man’s very piercing, very green eyes. “Yes. I’m having a problem with my garden. I think it needs fertilizer.”

“Elaborate on your problem,” the man says.

“Well, nothing’s growing,” Castiel explains, trailing off uncertainly as the man once again disappears around a corner.

“Any pets?” he asks.

“Excuse me?”

“Any pets,” the man says impatiently behind a shelf, “any pets that would get into your garden and eat stuff when you’re not looking.”

“Well… no. No pets. Although I was thinking of getting a cat.” Castiel glances at Fluffy, who is grooming a naked paw. “One with fur.”

The man barks out a laugh. He comes around the corner, holding a large box propped on his hip. “And you’ve been watering them? Pulling any weeds around them?”

“Yes.”

“And you’re sure that you’re not pulling the plants accidentally instead of the weeds?”

Castiel fixes the man a look. “I’m not that stupid.”

Raising a hand in surrender, the man says, “Hey, you’d be surprised the stories I get from other customers.” He deposits the box onto the counter. “Well, this should help—good old fashioned plant food. Works for most things you’re trying to grow.”

After doing a quick calculation of measurements in his head, Castiel decides, “I don’t think I’ll be able to take that today. I rode my bike here and I’m not sure I can fit the box anywhere…”

“Relax, the bags are inside.” The man pulls apart the box’s top and hoists out a much smaller bag, one that will undoubtedly fit into Castiel’s backpack. At Castiel’s confirming nod, the man rounds the corner and types a number into the ancient cash register. ‘Fluffy’ rubs against his hand, slowly the process. The register inexplicably dings. “It’ll be 25.50,” he announces.

Castiel fishes his wallet from his back pocket. “Do you take a credit card?”

“Yeah.” The man chews at the bottom of his lip, frowning down at Castiel’s fingers that are fumbling to get the credit card out of the tight wallet’s pockets. “You said you biked here?”

“Yes,” Castiel says amidst the struggle, “why?”

“Nah, just that… you can’t live very far from here, then?”

The credit card finally emancipated, Castiel hands it across the counter. He notes the dirt caked underneath the man’s fingernails as their hands brush. “I just began renting a house a few miles down the road. Just a week ago.”

The man grins. “You’re one of Benny’s tenants?”

“I think that was his name.”

“I know him. Nice guy. Runs a diner when he’s not landlording way too many properties.” The man slides the credit card through a small attachment on his phone, frowning again in a thoughtful way. “This might not work, you know.”

“The credit card?” Castiel asks.

“No, the plant food. This whole area used to be a swamp—so the soil sucks.” He pets Fluffy’s head distractedly. “So you might have to come back anyway.”

“I did notice that the soil was sandy,” Castiel agrees. “Should I… Buy anything else in lieu of this?”

The man rubs the back of his neck; Castiel is momentarily distracted by the way his fingers leave imperceptible tracks in his tightly trimmed blonde hair. “Well, if this doesn’t work, I’d have the examine the soil. See if the acidity is right, if the plants are getting enough sun, that kind of thing.”

“So you’d have to come over?” Castiel asks, taking the card that the man hands back to him.

“Well, yeah.” The man clears his throat. “To examine it, and everything.”

“That wouldn’t be too much trouble?”

The man sweeps his arm in the air to gesture to the quiet shop. “Well, I suppose you would be taking me away from my customers that so obviously need me.”

Castiel huffs a laugh. He tentatively holds the bag of plant food in his arms. “Then I’ll come back and ask for your help if this doesn’t work.”

They smile at each other, a beat too long, a beat too delayed to notice a shift in the energy between them. “Who should I ask for?” Castiel is somehow able to miraculously ask, after the moment that is a beat too long.

“Huh? Oh. Dean. Ask for Dean. That’s me, I—” The man, Dean, shakes his head as if to get himself to stop talking. He reaches out a hand. “It’s nice to meet you, uh—”

“Castiel. Cas.” Castiel holds Dean’s hand and shakes. It’s warm and softer than he’d expect a gardener’s hands to be.

“Well, great. Cas.” Dean drawls Castiel’s name out thoughtfully, carefully, like tasting a fine wine. Castiel suppresses a shiver. “I’ll see you again soon, then. Maybe.”

“Maybe.” Castiel adjusts the bag in his arms. “Goodbye, Dean. Fluffy,” he adds, nodding at the cat who is ignoring the situation, and instead is stretching to great lengths in order to lick her backside.

Castiel steps out into the warm air; the bell on the door that announces his departure is less obnoxious now. He unlocks his bike, adjusting the kickstand, wincing at the creak of the rust on the metal.  

Placing his backpack carefully onto the bike seat, he opens the zipper and deposits the bag of plant food into the backpack. Very sternly, he whispers to it, “Don’t you dare work,” before zipping up his pack, and riding on the dirt road back to his new home.

Mood Rings (6/6)

Title: Mood Rings

Chapter: 5/6

Fandom: DCU

Pairing:  Jason Todd/Roy Harper

AO3:  HERE

Note:  It is done!  Thank you all for your kind words and sticking with it.  

Summary:  

Jason said, pulling his arms behind his back.  “Pick a hand.”

Roy eyed him suspiciously, “You’re not going to punch me are you?”

“Oh my god”  Jason exclaimed exasperated, “why would I punch you?”  His eyes narrowed. “Should I punch you?”

“Where the fuck is he?”  Jason said, bursting through the double doors, turning the heads of a few others in the waiting room.  In any other situation Dick would have been amused by Jason’s dramatics.  But in this case, as the person on the other side of his rage, Dick felt it was the best idea to put his hands up in defence as Jason stormed across the room, leaving muddy footprints across the sterile white floors of the hospital.  It was best in these situations to try not to have security called, mostly because judging by how red Jason’s face was and how white his knuckles were there would be blood and while the hospital is an ideal place to get hurt it wasn’t somewhere you wanted to get thrown out of.

“Breathe,” Dick said as calming as he could.  Wishing this was Tim or Damian that could pull into a great big hug to help.  Again, that might lead to getting stabbed which was not on Dick’s list of things to do that day.  “The doctors all said he is going to be fine.  He has a mild concussion, a few broken ribs and a broken wrist.”

“You were going for lunch.  How did he get into an explosion at lunch?”  Jason said, frustrated, but Dick knew it was more at the situation.  Plus this was the world they lived in, one of the reasons they went out at night to try to make the cities safer.

Dick shrugged.  “It seems like a former employee didn’t like the management.”

“I need to strangle Roy for always pulling this bullshit.  Where is he?”  Jason asked and Dick tried not to smile, mostly because he was pretty sure Jason would start going after him next.

“I don’t actually know, they said they were getting him a room.  I thought it was best to wait for you.”  Dick explained.

Jason groaned, pushing Dick out of his way as he made his way over to the reception desk.  “Do you know how many stupid things Roy can do in that time unsupervised?”  He asked before turning to the nurse at the desk.  “Can you tell me which room Roy Harper is in?  Please.”  He added for good measure.  

The nurse looked him up and down, lowering her glasses as if sizing him up, clearly having seen the scene he made along with the dirt he dragged across her waiting room.  “And you are?”

“His fiance.”  Jason blurted out without a second thought.  She paused but that seemed to be the right thing to say because she gave him the number and pointed down the hall.  To which Jason took off down without missing a beat, leaving Dick standing in the waiting room speechless.

Roy’s room was small, there was an empty bed in the corner of the room.  Jason always hated hospital rooms, he couldn’t really imagine anyone that would actually like them.  But they were a necessary evil, especially in their line of work.  Or in the case of now, Roy being a trouble magnet of the worst kind because apparently the only case he needed was lunch in order to wind up getting hurt.  If Jason didn’t know better he would think Roy did things like this on purpose just to wind him up, but Jason did know Roy better and knew that even Roy had limits to just how much he would do to wind Jason up.

Rubbing his hand over his face, Jason took a seat in the chair pulled up next to the bed.  Taking Roy’s good hand into his he ran his thumb over the back of his hand feeling all the old scars and calluses on his hand from years of wear and work with his bow.

“Jay?”  Roy’s eyes stayed closed as he mumbled the sleep heavy words.  It reminded Jason so much of the few mornings when their alarm would actually go off before they got up and Roy would mutter something while trying to throw his body over Jason’s to keep them in bed just a little bit longer.

Jason squeezed his hand to anchor him.  “Right here.  Go back to sleep you’re going to need your energy for when I murder you when you get home in a few days.”

“K,” Roy mumbled before Jason felt his hand go slack again.  

It ended up being one day later until Roy got home, which was not a moment too soon because once Roy woke up he was hard to keep entertained and in bed.  So as soon as he was cleared of problems Jason was charged with taking Roy home, which Jason was more than happy to do.  After all, he too was already ready to be done with the hospital after the first hour of sitting in the small chair watching reruns of soap operas while Roy slept on and off.  It was much easier when they could both sit on the bed together.  

Roy had been suspiciously quiet since returning home from the hospital, to the point where Jason was starting to wonder if he needed to take Roy back to the hospital.  The breaking point had been when he looked up from the book he was reading to notice Roy was mindlessly flipping through one of the old wedding magazines's Dick had been so unhelpful in donating to Roy.  While it wasn’t odd that Roy was flipping through the magazine, he had been doing it often lately and they did have a lot of pictures which was helpful while he recovered.  What was odd was that fact that Roy was usually loved to share all the stupid and cheesey pictures with Jason trying to get a rise out of him, which he was very good at to a level unmatched by anyone else.  But judging by the point he was in the pages, he hadn’t just started and he had been quiet which was another sign.  

“Do you need to go back to the hospital?”  Jason asked bluntly, already trying to think where he left his keys.  

Roy looked up and tilted his head slightly.  “No.”  He paused thinking for a moment.  “No.  Why?”

Jason pointed at the magazine.  “That.”  

“Are you threatening me?”  Roy asked slowly.  It wasn’t uncommon for Jason to threaten him, he just usually did it in more creative ways.

“What?  No.”  Jason exclaimed with a sigh, getting nowhere.  “It’s just usually you’re always trying to drive me nuts when you read those and wave your ring around like an idiot.”

“Well that’s because I can’t.”  Roy said trying to make it sound like a laugh, but Jason could hear the pull at his words.  But he watched as Roy held up his broken hand, it was then Jason realized that there was no ring on the finger.  “I guess it broke off when I broke my wrist.”

Jason rolled his eyes.  “That’s why people don’t propose with cereal box prizes.”

Roy looked down at his ringless finger.  “Yeah I guess so.  It was fun while it lasted but I guess this means you’re off the hook for the proposal.”

“Finally.”  Jason exclaimed, wishing he could be a bit more excited.  It would have been a lot more victorious if Roy wasn’t trying so hard to keep the smile on his face.  It was moments like this Jason really wished he couldn’t read Roy as well as he could.  “I’m thinking this calls for Victory Burgers, I’ll even buy.  The usually?”

The smile on Roy’s face grew a little less sad.  “Yeah, with extra fries.”  

Jason laughed, “I know to get you extra fries, otherwise you eat half of mine.”

“Yours always taste better.”  Roy said as Jason rolled off the bed.  

“Yeah well you’re an idiot.”  Jason said, too preoccupied with finding his shoes to think of a good retort.  

The burger shop should have only taken a half an hour, but the side detour to the grocery store on the way extended it by a half an hour.  When Jason got home an hour later, Roy had managed to move himself from their bedroom to the couch with the same magazine spread out on his lap.  Jason dropped the burgers on the coffee table, handing Roy’s to him so he wouldn’t have to jostle his ribs too much.  The burger, fries and milkshake seemed to put Roy into a better mood, not that he was too surprised knowing full well a milkshake and waffle cut fries were the way to Roy’s heart.  

After dinner, Jason took the wrappers to the kitchen and dumped them into the trash but also grabbed the two boxes out of his bag.  Putting on in each of his back pocket he walked back to the living room where Roy was sitting.  “So since you have been not an asshole for a whole day I picked you up something while I was out.”

“It better not be more food.”  Roy groaned rubbing his stomach.  “Even I have my limits on food.”

“Its not.”  Jason said, pulling his arms behind his back.  “Pick a hand.”

Roy eyed him suspiciously, “You’re not going to punch me are you?”

“Oh my god”  Jason exclaimed exasperated, “why would I punch you?”  His eyes narrowed.  “Should I punch you?”

“No.”  Roy said quickly.  “You just usually don’t do surprises.”  

“Just pick a hand before I change my mind and punch you.”

Roy thought for a moment before pointing at his right hand.  That seemed to amuse Jason who let out a laughed and brought his hand forward and turned his hand palm up.  Sitting in his hand was a small plastic mood ring that he had to go through three cereal boxes in the car to find.  It was worth it to watch as realization of what was in front of Roy as his face went from cautious to excited to soft to something Jason couldn’t put his finger on as Roy slowly reached out and went and grabbed the ring, placing it on his good hand.

Looking from the ring to Jason, Roy grinned wider than Jason could recall.  “I can’t believe you got me another ring.”

“Yeah well…”  Jason said, unsure what to say next.  “You seemed to miss it.”

“Yeah.  I did.”  Roy agreed, looking down at his ring before looking up at Jason.  “What would I have got if I picked other hand?”  

Jason took a deep breath before holding out a small wooden box, holding it out for Roy.  Roy stared at the box, unsure of what to make for it.  Instead he took it into his hands turning the smooth wood in his hand before noticing the hinges.  As soon as he cracked open the box Roy let out a gasp as he dropped the box quickly as if he had been burned.  Luckily Jason had been there to catch the box and keep it upright so the titanium ring stayed nestled between the red velvet in the box.  The ring wasn’t overly flashy, but it had two small red rubys at the top between an engraved arrow, which Jason couldn’t fully decide if that was cheesy or not.   Judging by the look Roy’s face it wasn’t cheesy at all.  

In fact, Roy looked like he was having trouble breathing, and not just because of his broken ribs.  Instead his eyes kept moving from the box to Jason who looked like he was waiting for his report card.  “What?  I...is that?”  Roy asked, trying to find the words for what he was looking at.  

“Marry me?”  Jason said, followed shortly by, “fuck I was supposed to do that on one knee.”  

Roy grabbed him before he could finish kneeling, and pulled him towards him in a long kiss.  “Fuck yes.”  He muttered against Jason’s lips.  

“Thank god.”  Jason said, reaching out and taking the mood ring off Roy’s hand and replaced it with his new ring. 

Roy held his hand up, watching the way the ring glistened in the light.  “When the hell did you get this done?”  Trying to think of a time recently that Jason could have had time to go out and get a ring designed.  

“About three weeks before I gave you the mood ring.”  Jason said, rubbing his neck trying not to look at Roy who burst out laughing.  “Well I mean I wasn’t sure if you were going to say yes.  I thought it would be a safe way to test if you were interested in a non joking way.”

“You’re an idiot,”  Roy laughed, dragging him in for another kiss.  “But you know this means we actually have to plan a real wedding now.”

Jason groaned.  “Yeah...we don’t have to invite our families right?”

“Of course not.”  Roy placated, knowing there was no way either of their families would let that happen.  “Though we should take a selfie to send to Dick.”

“Do we have to?”  Jason asked.

Roy shrugged.  “I mean it might blow his mind.”  Then he added.  “If you do it, we can go make out like horny teenagers.”  

Jason grabbed his phone.  “You’re the worst.”

“But I’m yours.”  Roy said, placing a kiss on Jason’s cheek as he snapped the picture with his hand held up against his own cheek.

“Yeah yeah...you’re mine.”  Jason said as he sent out the photo to all his contacts with the caption ‘my idiot fiance’ before clicking the phone off knowing that when he turned it on he would have hundreds of messages from just about everyone they knew.  But Roy was smiling at him as he played with the ring on his finger.  Things were never easy with Roy, but even the complicated bullshit and arguing parts were worth it with Roy.  And yeah, there was going to be a huge world wind of their familes, and planning a stupid wedding, and trying to live happily ever that it was going to be a nightmare, but if it meant Jason got to do it with Roy it would at least be slightly less terrible.  There was nobody else Jason would rather spend his life with and has he leaned forward and pressed his lips into Roy’s he hoped his kiss said all of that.

Avengers PSAs: On the COVID-19 Pandemic 3: Don’t Panic

Natasha and Bucky stood side by side in front of neatly organized shelves, him with one arm around her, his other sleeve empty, both of them dressed in athleasure clothes.

“Hey, I'm Natasha Romanoff—”

“—and I'm James Buchanan Barnes—”

“—and we're coming to you from the Avengers's pantry,” Natasha continued, gesturing behind them, “to talk to you about panic buying and resource hoarding. First though, since people are bound to ask—Buck, where's your arm?”

“In an autoclave,” Bucky said flatly, “being sterilized.”

Natasha wagged an admonishing finger at the camera. “No excuses for not practicing good hand hygiene.”

“No excuses,” Bucky agreed. “You know what else there's no excuse for?”

“Panic buying and hoarding?” Natasha guessed with a knowing half smirk.

“Yup.”

She nodded slowly and took a half step away from him. “You don't think that's a little harsh? People aren't being malicious, they're just scared.”

“Nope.” Bucky crossed his arm over his chest, gabbing onto the opposite shoulder for lack of an elbow to tuck his hand into. “I'm playing the grumpy old man card here—I lived through World War Two and all the rationing that went along with it. I don't take kindly to people taking more than their fair share. And compared to Steve, I'm being extremely reasonable and calm about this.”

“That's true, actually.” Natasha glanced at the camera. “Steve wanted to do this PSA, but he's not very good at keeping his righteous anger over unfairness in check. So you get us.” She put a hand to her chin cutely.

“Mhm.”

“So let's talk about what panic buying is,” Natasha continued.

“As the name suggests,” Bucky said, “it's people buying things out of panic or fear—especially buying in bulk.”

“Despite Bucky and Steve's lack of patience with it,” Natasha said with a sidelong glance at her partner, “this is a natural and understandable reaction to certain kinds of crises, and it's quite common. The classic example, which at this point is also a joke, is Southerners buying all the bread and milk they can find anytime snow is predicted below the Mason Dixon Line.”

Bucky picked up the thread. “People usually panic buy in response to things like snow storms or hurricanes—major events that you can see coming long enough to know to prepare, and that you know are going to limit your ability to go out and get supplies.”

“The basic impulse is good,” Natasha conceded. “Stock up beforehand to make sure you have enough of the things you need in order to weather the storm—or, in this case, to weather the pandemic and its associated shutdowns.”

“The problem,” Bucky continued, “is that too many people are buying more than they actually need, and they're buying the wrong things. Most obviously, toilet paper.”

“When people panic buy, they leave the shelves empty,” Natasha explained. “This then creates a sense of scarcity that scares other people into panic buying the same items, causing actual scarcity, preventing people from being able to access the reasonable amounts of basic supplies that they do need.”

“We don't know how long we'll have to practice social distancing,” Bucky said. “In areas with stay at home orders, we don't know how long those may last, and we don't know for sure where new stay at home orders are going to be implemented, but that one, at least, we can predict pretty well.”

“If your city or town has known cases of COVID-19, especially if you're a college town….” Natasha shrugged.

“Expect to be holed up at home for a while,” Bucky concluded. “And it's important to prepare for that.”

“You're not doomsday prepping, though,” Natasha admonished. “You don't need a year or five's worth of anything.”

Bucky nodded. “Take it a month at a time. Think about how many people are in your household and how much you actually consume of various supplies in a month. We have an entire shelf full of pasta here.” He gestured at the shelf behind him, which housed easily two dozen boxes of noodles. “There's roughly twenty people living here. We always use more than a household of three or four. A household of three or four use more than somebody living alone. Buy a little bit more than you otherwise might for the same amount of time, but not much. Remember there are people besides you in your community and leave some for your neighbors. Also think about what you already have at home. Have you had the same bottle of dish soap sitting next to your sink for the better part of a year? Then you probably aren't going to need more. If it's almost empty, go ahead and get one bottle to replace it.”

“Some things, it is reasonable and necessary to buy extra of right now,” Natasha allowed. “A lot of people are having to cook at home a lot more than you usually do, and you're having to do your grocery shopping for a whole month, maybe longer, instead of just for the next week, so you do have to buy more food. Clint's going to do a video on buying, storing, and preparing food smartly during the pandemic, so we're not going to go into that now.”

“You might actually need more of things like toilet paper,” Bucky said, “because you're at home, instead of at work or school using the toilet paper there. That's still not going to be a huge increase in usage. COVID-19 is a respiratory ailment, not dysentery.”

Natasha bit back a laugh.

Bucky continued. “Other things, you might use less of.  If you're anything like us here at the compound, you're probably hanging out in the same loungewear or pajamas for a couple days at a time, maybe showering less than you do when you actually leave the house most days, which means you're using fewer towels. In that case, you're doing less laundry, so you're using less detergent.”

Natasha clapped her hands together. “Now, if you, or your friend Karen the Facebook mom, or your mom did freak out and went and bought twenty jumbo bottles of Germ-X or more toilet paper than your household is liable to use by Christmas, that's okay. You, your mom, and Karen aren't horrible people. Keep enough to realistically get you through a couple months—for toilet paper in particular, that's roughly one role per person per week for most people—then return the excess to the store if you can. Otherwise donate it, give it to your friends and neighbors who don't have enough, or if you're really worried about recouping some of what you spent panic buying, resell it. But expect to resell it at a loss.”

“Don't even try to make more than you spent,” Bucky warned. “Price gouging is illegal, and punishments increase during emergencies. Some areas have laws against private individuals making money off of selling emergency supplies, so look into your local laws before trying that at all. If you're not sure, just donate. If you decide to be a greedy jerk, well, Steve's been threatening to throw on a hazmat suit and go deal with some price gougers himself, and I'm inclined to help him, even if leaving the compound means losing my arm to the autoclave for an hour again.”

“Take a breath. Take a step back,” Natasha commanded gently. “Take stock of what you need and what you have. Be realistic and be smart. Stock up and be prepared, but don't panic and don't hoard.”

“We're all facing this together,” Bucky said. “We can all get what we need, but only if we all take only as much as we need.”

“Stand by for Clint's advice on what food to stock up on and how to use it,” Natasha said brightly. “Thank you and goodbye.”

She waved. Bucky stepped forward to cover the camera with his hand—the video went black.

“You make me happy.” 💛😍

Where The Heart Is

Caitlin gathered her hair at the base of her neck up in a high ponytail, flexing her elastic over her wrist to tie it up as she watched her boyfriend talk with the guys. She bent down, taping up the last of the maze of brown cardboard boxes, and now that there were no more curtains to filter through, sunlight went streaming down in harsh streaks from the left corner of her large window. 

Caitlin squinted in spite of the glare, keeping her eyes on her work. They stripped the carpet yesterday so she was kneeling now on the horrifically dirty wooden flooring she was rather embarrassed to have been hiding for so many years. Her ripped jeans strained at her knees. Barry had stared at them in disbelief when she answered the door this morning when this all started. Iris smacked him in the chest, walking right past with her takeout breakfast containers and Jitters to go coffee trays, placing them on her lonely bare table in the middle of her otherwise empty kitchen.

“I’m allowed to wear holes in my pants,” Caitlin had said stiffly, though she was smiling because her best friends were right to be so surprised. The whole reason why she had them on was because she found them buried at the back of her closet when she finally got to the end of it with the price tag still attached. She’s half convinced it was a purchase made by Frost in her dark age. Top that with Caitlin dumbly realizing this morning that she left her suitcase with what she was planning to wear for the next week at Star Labs to avoid mix-ups, and this job was a lot more labour intensive than she thought. Her cute white chinos she had originally picked out weren’t going to cut it.  

Anyway, Caitlin grabbed the big black sharpie and wrote on the masking tape that this was her last box of photo albums and trinkets from her parents she had neatly tucked away in a drawer beside her living room couch. Cisco was with that couch now. They were throwing it away, deeming it unsalvageable. Barry bled on it too much to warrant keeping it, even with the plastic wrapping Caitlin had the wise urge to cover it with after 2016.

Wally zipped in twice, wiping his brow. “Cisco’s place is almost done, but the pool table, sheesh. What do you want me to do with that?”

Cisco waved him off. “Leave that for last.” Caitlin licked her lips, eyes falling to his arms in his rolled up sleeves, unable to help herself as his muscles strained, opening a breach in the wide empty space.

See, moving day was actually a lot less work when you had a breacher, two speedsters, and a friend with very flexible long arms.

“Babe,” Cisco said. “A hand please?”

Caitlin nodded, standing up, directing Ralph and Barry into the dimensional vortex that lead to the alleyway outside.

“So,” Iris smirked, sitting down on the floor against her wall, next to the plugged in fan blasting a barely there breeze into her apartment. She shook her iced tea. “You thirsty?”

Caitlin raised an eyebrow. “…For Jitters?”

Iris snorted. Cisco popped back out the breach, took two boxes in his arms, and blew the bangs out of his eyes. His hair was neatly tucked back in a low bun, but his front pieces stayed loose because he was stylish like that. Caitlin watched as he took her silverware and walked right back out of the dimension to their new home.

“Nuh uh, girl. For that.”

Caitlin blushed toying with her necklace.

“Somebody’s new bed is getting christened tonight, is all I’m saying.”

Okay so Cisco was being very attractive right now, Caitlin was not about to deny that. He always was and he was her boyfriend so it’s not like there was anything problematic with that.

Except maybe that Iris had a point. Caitlin and Cisco had a tremendous amount of work to do before sunset to get settled in their new home and Caitlin was spending more time staring at his sweaty tousled HGTV transformation than her own fragiles. He kept sending her excited smiles because today was finally the day they’d get to sleep under one roof and call it their own, both of their names on the lease, with amenities that promise a long future like the four bedrooms (a workspace for each of them and maybe that last one for a little kid to grow up in…) the remodelled kitchen and frost durable insolation.

And she could feel the excitement bubbling in his veins at that idea because she had it too. The thought that they’d get to have that together, so she was feeling all kinds of emotions, but the strongest one hit her whenever Cisco came back with a confident grin wearing less layers on than the trip before.

“Can you please not bring up Cisco and Caitlin in bed? I just had to move it.”

Caitlin turned around, sticking her hands on her hips at Wally. “After all those times I caught you with Jesse in my Med Bay? You realize I have to sterilize everything right? Including the sheets?”

Wally flushed, scratching his head. “—I think I’m gonna—That pool table sure is—Yeah.” He sped off.

Caitlin reached forward, rolling her eyes fondly, giving Iris a hand. She took it gratefully, and Caitlin asked how Iris was doing in her second trimester.

~.~

Late into the afternoon, Cisco took her hand, lacing their fingers. “You tired?”

Caitlin shrugged. Not really, but she wasn’t the one who opened a good 200 breaches today. “Are you?”

He nodded, but his eyes were aglow. “I’m thinking we should try the new place down the street?”

“Which one?” she asked, tracing patterns into his skin with her thumb. She just liked seeing him bounce around.

“The korean one next to the grocery store.”

“Oh! I saw that one with Iris!. It did look good.”

“I’ll order it then,” Cisco said, pulling up the menu on his phone.

Caitlin looked out the window, unaccustomed to this new view. They were several stories high, like her old apartment, but they were facing a completely different part of Central City than she was used to. They were more closer to the edge of the city, which sounded like a nuisance but was actually a lot closer to Star Labs, and safer too. Metahumans loved to strike downtown, the insurance policies were getting ridiculous, so they decided to just ignore that hassle altogether. The area, too, was more residential. There was an urban park a few blocks down as well as public schools. She wondered if she’d be able to see yellow school buses making their way through traffic when making breakfast in the mornings.

Cisco listed off dishes from his phone. They both picked what they were in the mood for, and Cisco placed the order, fumbling for half a second when asked for the address. Caitlin laughed, shaking her head.

“I was thinking we’d start unpacking after dinner?”

“Can’t we ask Barry and Wally to do it for us?”

Cisco scoffed, using a pair of scissors to rip open a box labelled Dining. “And ruin all the fun? Think of all the bonding. The memories we’ll share tomorrow when we can’t find the spoons! The fights about our packing codes. Debating whose lamps get to go where? It’s iconic, Caitlin. These next three weeks of adjustment are pivotal.”

Caitlin leaned against the wall, feeling a little lovesick. “I never even owned any lamps to begin with. All my lamps were borrowed from you, weirdo.”

Cisco stuck out his tongue, digging into the box for the plastic plates. “If we can get the bedroom done by tonight, that’ll make me happy.”

“You make me happy.”

Cisco put down the plastic wrapper on their brand new island counter, giving her some side eye, amused. “You okay?”

Caitlin laughed and staked her claim, unable to keep her hands to herself anymore.

“Usually you’re the one to go all drill sergeant about organization. Especially—When—Mmph! Oh! Okay!”

Cisco kissed her back happily against the counter. She pulled away to tuck a flyaway hair from his nose, and he drew her back. Cisco kissed her slow and sensual, and she felt the sweat at the back of his neck, so she lowered the temperature of the palm of her hand to cool him down.

 He whimpered in her mouth when she did that, pulling her even closer and sighing until he stopped to ask, “Is the fact that I’m speaking your language turning you on or is it the heat?”

Caitlin opened her eyes, running her tongue over her wet bottom lip, and deliberately held onto his bare arms, tugging off his button down completely so he was left in his tank top.

“Neither. It’s our first day in our home together. I can’t stop thinking about us and you’re making it very hard for me to keep my hands off you,” she explained, scratching her frosty nails lightly against his overheated skin.

Cisco blew more hair out of his face, not buying her whole story. “Not that I’m complaining but why?”

“Because that!” she exclaimed, pointing at his entire look. The damn stubble, the sexy hair, his everything. “That’s why!”

Cisco looked down at himself, wrinkling his nose, probably thinking that he needed a shower. Caitlin would not protest to that. If she joined him. “Ooooh. I see. You like my Manual Labour & Sweat & Grind & Tears chic. Really?”

“It’s not just the look,” Caitlin corrected. “I am also very much in love with you.”

Cisco gave her a shy smile. “Sometimes hearing you say that is still like a dream to me.”

Caitlin laughed softly and Cisco took her hand and brought her close, then twirled her around in a dance between the cardboard boxes and unplugged kitchen appliances.

Iris walked into the kitchen, a hand over her stomach. “Did one of you two order Korean BBQ? If yes, can I have some?”

She was kind to ignore their dorkiness as Caitlin looked up at her friend upside down. Cisco brought her up from his dip. “I thought you guys already ordered pizza from Keystone?”

Iris shrugged. “The boys ate it all. But the delivery guy is still waiting so…”

“Right!” Caitlin straightened up, dusting imaginary dirt off on her ripped jeans. “That was fast.”

They went to get their food, and dished it out on the plastic plates, but couldn’t find any forks. Cisco laughed as he opened more boxes, and Iris ate some of Caitlin’s meal with her hands.

~.~

Afternoon turned into evening, and by night their friends were gone. Their home was furnished with all the big things like tables and chairs, couches, desks and Cisco’s computer monitors (“because it’s important Caitlin, no it can’t wait until tomorrow—What like you had to have your stethoscope out today too. Mhmm— Exaaaactlyyyyy”), big kitchen necessities and yes, the pool table. Cisco was happy, because they didn’t finish their bedroom, but there were only eight boxes remaining, so they called it a win.

Now Caitlin stared at their new bed, thinking about what Iris said earlier that day.

“What?” Cisco joked, with his toothbrush in his mouth in the en suite bathroom. He had already showered and finally shaved off his Moving Week Stress Scruff. Caitlin tried her best not to be too disappointed. “Monsters under there? Already?” He spat out his toothpaste and rinsed his mouth before coming up beside her.

“It’s a big bed,” Caitlin said.

“Very big,” Cisco agreed huskily. “Like you wanted.”

“Uh huh.”

He trailed his hand along her neck, travelling down her shoulder, flicking her hair over to the side. “You, uh, got any plans with it?”

“Uh huh,�� Caitlin said again, breathily.

Cisco smiled into her hair then kissed her pulse point, slipping down the strap of her weightless silky nightgown. “Mmm. Like what?”

“Falling asleep next to you, and waking up next to you in it everyday?”

“Great plan,” he agreed.

Caitlin turned to him with a slow spreading sly smile, and put her hands on his chest. She changed the tone of her voice to match her come-hither look.  “But right now…how about breaking it in?”

Cisco pushed her garment down with his hands on her hips until it fell to the floor at her feet.
