#team blue had 12 player kills

Too Late To Be Fair

Warnings: death (caused by drunk driver), mentions of emotional abuse (R as a child), mentions of drinking and drunks, implications of self doubt and associated things, wishing someone would die. Please let me know if anything else.

Note: Grace is a fake player, due to previous ideas and maybe future ideas I had to make a player up... she does some things none of the girls would ever do....

A/N: Story inspired by Pray (Jessie Murph) & Mansion (NF) - and other things but I listened to these songs and I was like ooo good story idea. There probs will be a part 2. I hope you like it - also I know I said one of the McFoord fics would be out next but um yeah...

“Y/N We’re sorry to inform you but your Dad was in a car accident he was hit by a drunk driver” you couldn’t help but laugh at the irony, you dad the drunk being hit by a drunk driver. Everyone looked at you in disbelief.

“Y/N that’s not very appropriate,” Grace said, before others death stared her, clearly not knowing your situation, of course you were going to blow, especially at her, the thing you had wished for, for so long, finally happened, yet just after you cut him off, so it didn’t matter, it didn’t mean you could have an easier childhood, it was just another way of the universe punishing you. Waiting until you had moved out, cut your ties and in the spotlight, to finally kill him. Almost exactly a year since you cut him off, won the trial, got the restraining order, the one which he protested, causing the gruelling 3 day trial, to decide whether it was needed or not.

“Oh, sorry we don’t all have perfect little lives with perfect Mummies and Daddies, some of us actually had a shit childhood, faced real world problems, no rich bitch problems, oh Mummy and Daddy told me to pick up some rubbish, oh my life is shit they abuse me” you were dragged out of the locker room and into an empty physio room by Leah, Beth, Katie, Caitlin, and Steph who all sent you a glare when the door had shut, “Oh like she didn’t deserve it,” they all couldn’t but help let out a smile. There was an awkwardness in the room, as the girls all looked between each other not knowing how to approach this.

“You guys can all go, I’ve got this, thank you though,” Leah spoke, breaking the silence, everyone left except Beth, but Leah didn’t mind. You and Beth had a very close relationship, you had been close friends since your grassroots team, Beth helped you through the year of your life you realised you were gay, and then when you crushed on your now girlfriend, your then national Captain. Beth felt bad the year you told her about your Dad, she knew something was off but you never told anyone, barely anyone stills knows the full story, but that day Beth and you promised that you would be there for each other forever, and that was true, she had been there during your trial and so much more, and you were there for her when Dan broke up with her, Beth was really your rock and you were hers. Beth moved to sit in the chair on the opposite side of the room, giving you both space, whilst also being there in case you needed it. 

“Are you okay?” Leah couldn't find the right words, but she knew deep down the wrong words were what you needed her to say, you weren’t going to break, and release it all otherwise.

“Of course I’m not fucking okay Leah,” you looked up at her, she hadn’t even flinch at your words, instead she pulled you in for a hug. Which caused hot angry tears to fall from your eyes “Why now, why couldn’t it have been a year ago, 3 years, hell any time after I was 12. It’s unfair, its fucking unfair,” you paused, and Leah slowly slid her back down against the wall, bringing you down with her, your legs either side of hers as you sat in her lap. Your eyes connected with her soft kind caring blue eyes, and you could see how her lips formed a soft kind reassuring smile. You broke, big fat tears streamed down your face, as you sobbed, Leah gently pulled your body forward, so you were no longer sitting up, but leaning on her, she placed your head into the crock of her neck, before moving her arm to wrap around you lower body, her other hand was placed on your back, her thumb moving up and down, as she whispered reassuring words in your ear. 

“W-why now, when I’ve already lived the hard life, when I’ve been through all that shit. When I’m already screwed up, when I already have trust issues, when I already doubt myself everyday, so much so that I do it unconsciously” you sobbed into her neck.

“I know baby, it's not fair, and it's not right. But I’m here now, and I’ve got you.”

“I-I I used to wish he would die, I used to imagine cops showing up at the door when it was later than he used to come home, them telling me and me not being upset. I used to hope he just wouldn't come back from work trips. I used to imagine people asking me why I wasn’t upset when he died. I used to think of the fact that he was an alcoholic so he wouldn't get a kidney or liver transplant, unless it was a directed donation. I had to say yes, how could I say no if I was a match, but how could I say yes. You know how fucked up you feel when you think that stuff, you know how messed up I thought I was, but that was all his doing. It's just unfair.”

___

You had calmed back down and decided to go see all the girls again, the only problem was that no one had realised what song was playing in the locker room, too deep in conversation to be aware of it.

Waking up but wishing that you don’t. It’s something that I pray you’ll never know.

A song that connected with you so deeply sent you back over the edge, and you quickly spun on your feet and speed walked away, Beth followed behind you.

“What the actual fuck were you thinking McCabe” you girlfriend yelled.

“Wha?” the room had gone quiet and attention was drawn to the music, “Oh fuck, shit, sorry, we werent listening to it, its just automatically come on. I promise, I wasn't trying to be funny, I wouldn't do anything like that to Y/N”

Leah just turned around packing your bag and hers, “Tell Jonas we’re going home.”

“Sorry” Katie yelled as Leah went down the hall.

Leah found you sitting in the middle of one of the side hallways. Beth’s arms were wrapped around you and your body was shaking.

“Come on baby, let's go home.” She said as she placed a hand on your back, Beth slowly released her arms around you, which Leah quickly replaced with hers.

_____

“What’s on your mind? I know it's something more than your Dad” your girlfriend said as she sat down on the bed next to you, legs crossed and leaning back against the headboard. You had just arrived home.

“It's stupid.” you sighed, looking away from her eyes.

“I promise you, it's not stupid, it's your feelings, and your feelings are valid” she said, voice unwavering before pulling you into her lap.

“I don't know, I just feel like I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop.” “What do you mean baby?” “I don't know, I just feel like something is going to happen, like something is going to happen and you’re going to realise that this was all a mistake and leave. You’re going to get sick of constantly being second guessed for no reason just because I’m messed up, because I don’t believe someone could actually love me this much. You’re going to get sick of me, and all my insecurities, ” she pulled your body into hers, your head finding a place in the crock of her neck, tears started to fall from your eyes, causing her neck to become wet.

“Y/N, baby, I love you so much, and I promise, there is not another shoe that will drop, we have been through so much together, we got through those 9 months together, we got through the trial together, and I promise we will get through whatever life throws at us together, forever, we will go through the highs and lows together. I love you so much, and I wouldn't want to spend my life with anyone else. I will never hurt you, I promise.”

the boogeyman effect following Bbh from purgatory 1 has been a very fascinating phenomenon.

there is alot of residual and lingering opinions of Bad from both characters and fans and its been interesting because having watched Bads pov he really didnt do anything more then what others did in purgatory. Q!Phil is mad because Bad terrorized his team but bad had far less kills then Tubbo, and plenty other teams were around terrorizing others Fit slaughtered Tina and soulfires farmers (most of which then never returned)

Q!Tubbo is mad for ‘day 12’ for a poor decision Bad made, but Bad was carrying the team mostly alone for many many hours the whole 2 weeks (the most out of anyone on the team) I think he could be forgiven for not having the clearest decision making skills running ragged and getting killed.

Q!Bagi feels betrayed by bad and has been more comfortable around tubbo since p1 but tubbo murdered her before she could say a word in p1 and Bad asked for her consent first before doing so.

Q!Etoiles is salty about the 2v1 but he and Fit started it by attacking tubbo alone who then had to run to bad and it was a 2v2 before then becoming a 2v1 as Fit backed away injured

Q!Phil has also mentioned that bad has not taken responsibility for his actions and this is echoed a lot in fan spaces but Bad is constantly taking on blame for things he may have only been adjacent too. He’s said he’s killed a lot of people, he jokes that he’d do it again. He doesnt often show remorse for his actions which I think is more what some are after but he does acknowledge things he doesn’t pretend it never happened. He told Pepito he was a monster. And anytime some express anger towards bad he respects their feelings (that doesn’t mean he’d chose to act differently or feel remorse in such actions but he doesn’t tell anyone theyre not allowed to feel that way)

its a fascinating subject to me because this effect has carried over so strongly within the space despite the fact Bad didn’t even have the highest kills in p1 for soulfire (it was Tubbo by quite a margin) yet Tubbo is often unnamed as the wrongdoer. Bagi set up Bad for death, while it didn’t come to fruition she still did that to Bad. Bad could not do anything but run when red team took on the bounty system which was excruciating to watch. Red also showed no mercy when the boats arrived and killed Bad the sole player for blue leaving his body in a zone that would kill a naked player.

Bad did do wrong he spawn killed Jaiden. However his stalking home bases and killing others in general was no different then all of the other skilled players repertoire. Bad had to play offensively for his team the majority of the time as he was one of the few that could, yet the boogeyman effect holds onto him and warps even his own members perceptions after the fact. Q!Tina as an example very enthusiastic about letting Bad loose in p1 too then scolding him for actions he took under her instruction.

The fan narrative has been the most acutely difficult to manage as the effect is almost to mystic proportions and finding disdain for even mundane actions Bad takes and reading into those as disingenuously as possible always set on more then retribution but truly an end to his character. Which again having watched Bads POV I havent been able to discern anything remarkable that any other character hasnt also partook in.

The difference I have noted is that Bad will always consider himself in the wrong regardless if his actions had justifiable reason behind it. Dapper told Bad to win in purgatory. After purgatory Bad put himself and Dapper down as ‘oh thats just something Dapper would say hes just bloodthirsty, but narratively Dapper has committed self harm in order to protect his siblings and other islanders ((an issue Dapper unfortunately sees in his father and perpetuates himself)) believing he is nothing more then a tool to help those he loves, he would not risk his siblings lives for bloodthirsty humor. Bad knows this but when faced with the hate others saw in him he waves off both his and his sons merit buckling down. Bad and Dapper have dark humor but are always making gifts and finding ways to help others. There is nothing on the island Bad is more set to protect then the eggs and this thought with Dappers message, Q!Bad really thought he needed to go all out to protect them, even still he held back a lot and would 2nd guess because he wanted to be absolutely certain of the egg’s safety.

He wasnt without reason yet with the boogeyman effect looming over his reasons never seem to be able to hold a candle to the more popular characters, and he often concedes a lot to it. He says it with a laugh, tease, and is sassy with it but still he concedes to others perceptions of him as he doesnt want to override others feelings. It can be a bit exhausting as things are blown out of proportion to what they were in originality but on a social breakdown of how things and information travels its very very interesting and I have been enjoying the dive even if it stings sometimes with reflective thoughts.

can i request yan! chishiya with a s/o who becomes uncomfortable/scared around him after watching him sacrifice someone in a game? like he notices how distant their being and he decided to confront them about it but he’s MAD

Feat. Yandere Shuntaro Chishiya X Reader who becomes uncomfortable after witnessing his eagerness to sacrifice another in a game.

Y/n Met Chishiya At Their first Game — His second. They admired His Intelligence and He admired Their Willingness, So he decided to keep Them around Until he Got bored, Which He though initially would be A Week At most yet A Week turned into Two weeks And Now here they were sitting together By the pool in the resort called ‘The beach’. The beach was meant to be a haven of safety and Excitement Yet Even if Chishiya was Selected as an executive member, he couldn’t fight the uncomfortableness that came with Men and women alike Taking a Liking to Y/n, His Y/n.

“Jesus, Chishiya. It isn’t like you own me..!” Y/n Argued, they were both in a Hearts Game together in a Group of 12 ,Though he didn’t care about the other four people, You were the only person he had his eye On and truly cared for in this Sick and twisted ‘World’ — if you could call the borderlands that. “I’m just looking out for you.” He said Nonchalantly, pretending to not care yet they had never Rejected his help before so why Now? The Games rules were simple really, You were Split into 3 teams of 4 — Among The six There would be 4 Innocent Members of the group, 4 Members of the group who were murderers and 4 members of the group Who would need to Manipulate the innocent into voting to kill the murderers, yet nobody knew each others roles and had to trust The Word of those around them.

Chishiya had Confided in Y/n about being the Latter option, whereas They were An innocent player. They found confidence in the fact that both Them and Chishiya were able to walk out of the game together, but it hurt them when they realised They would be accountable for a players death. “I Know who the murderers are, its part of my role.” He Claimed, though Y/n knew that those were indeed the rules, they still felt weary about his honesty. “Look, the rest of the group is there, They’re discussing so there bound to be a vote — you either trust me or don’t, Y/n. Just know what’s good for you.” They looked up at him as he spoke, They sat down together Near the rest of the group yet were still a moderate distance away from them. “Him.” Chishiya spoke, You hummed in confusion as your reply, paying complete attention to him as he spoke once more. “The Man in the blue shirt, Hajime I Think his name is. He’s a Murderer.”

Y/n was too tired to argue with Chishiya anymore, so they just muted out an almost silent, “Okay..” As their answer. It took not even Another 10 Minutes for A Woman in the group to announce the first vote. Y/n Walked up to the metallic box After a few people had went, The screen on the top of the black metal was cold to the touch — with shaky hands Y/n selected their answer before returning back to Chishiya’s side. As the votes were cast in, A Monotone voice played: ‘The player with the most votes Is Hajime Yamamoto, with 3 votes.” Y/n’s throat went dry, yes He was one of four correct options for being the murderer but Would there not be a few More votes? From the panicked look across the whole room’s faces, y/n knew they had messed up, even before the Voice spoke again. “This elimination has been deemed incorrect, Hajime is not a Murderer.” Y/n Found Themself inching away from Chishiya feeling betrayed that he would use Them like that, and for what? Sport? Entertainment? What was the point of Sacrificing another?

“He Was speaking ill of you, trying to get others to vote for us.” Chishiya claimed as he noticed Their expression. “Don’t get upset over something like this — that’s just pathetic.”

It was now 3 days since the incident and both Y/n and Chishiya survived the game alongside another whom They didn’t care to remember. They found themself avoiding Chishiya completely and although He accepted it at first — thinking it was just a phase, he quickly got impatience at their new lack of compliance. He saw them sitting alone at the bar, watching Other players swim and dance by the pool. He realised that other than him, they truly had No friends and it was completely his fault — though, god forbid they realised that. “Y/n.” He Spoke coldly as he approached them. They tried to Walk away Yet found their wrist in a sharp hold By Chishiya, Him staring Daggers Into her. “Leave me Alone, Chishiya…” They Pleaded, He almost audibly laughed at Their suggestion. “I’m being serious, I Thought you were better than everybody else — but you’re just like them, you’d kill anybody to save your own skin! How do i Know it won’t be me Next time..?”

He pulled them close to him, “You don’t get to leave me like this. You fucking Need me — without Me You’d be Dead.” It all got too much for Y/n, tears flooded their eyes as Chishiya’s cruel grip on their wrist still failed to leave. “Now you’re crying? You don’t deserve to Cry When I’ve done nothing wrong.” He scoffed. “You truly are pathetic.” Y/n muttered an apology through tears, Their cheeks burning out of pure embarrassment and eyes stinging from letting Salty tears fall. “Clean yourself up, your visa expires soon — let me show you how much You really do need me.”

Personal highlights from...

Red vs Blue The Ultimate Fan Guide

In honor of s19 and the continuation of where s13 left off, here are some highlights from the ultimate fan guide published back in 2015. I've been re-watching the show and it made me want to flip back through the guide. (Everything is sort of in the order it appears in the book, with a few exceptions)

Delta appears as a guide of sorts with fun facts

Caboose's position is listed as "Team Rookie/Occasional Captain/ Church's Best Friend" (it is actually struck out in the book)

He is also the only one listed with the title Captain, appearing as "Private/Captain Michael J. Caboose" (due to Wash "promoting" him, in the canyon on chorus)

Tucker is "Private First Class", Church, Donut, and Simmons are "Private"s, Sarge is listed as a "Colonel" under rank (the other Red's and Blue's ranks appears with their name while his is under "position"), and Grif is "Minor Junior Private, Negative First Class"

Wash used to be a chronic bed wetter (thanks D)

There's also a six page transcript of his psych eval prior to PF where we find out he injured a commanding officer because he wanted to "send everyone to their deaths", he also put a former bully through a mirror in fifth-grade

Grif is stated to have been assigned to Blood Gulch because he was the only survivor of an alien attack on a colony during the great war, he fell asleep at his post and everyone assumed he was KIA

Donut's position is listed as "On all fours... cleaning Red bade"

Doc's profile is "Doc/ O'Malley" and the whole thing lists both their interests, i.e "Position: Canyon Medic, Galactic Overlord"

Andy's (the bomb) name is "Andrew D. Kaboom"

Sheila and Filss share a page

Tex's notable attributes are "Kicking ass (and nuts), being a mean lady, and resurrection"

The password to unlock the file on Beta that CT left behind was "Allison" (Thanks again D)

York's page comments "Several reports were filed against Agent York claiming he and Agent Carolina had something of a "personal" relationship [...] Freelancer Command was unable to find any proof to support these accusations."

One of his notable attributes is "watching his right side" and his position is "team scoundrel"

Eta and iota (Carolina's AIs) were "fear and happiness"

According to the official time line, Carolina was around 6 when Allison died (Allison died 23 years before Blood Gulch and Carolina was born 29 years before)

Wyoming's real name is Reginald

South Dakota's Status is listed as "Extra Crispy"

Smith once spent two days contemplating in silence what Caboose meant when he said his favorite color was "Happy"

Dr. Grey's position is "(Mad) Doctor", she was considered a prodigy at age 11 when she diagnosed every patient in House M.D. within five minutes of their introduction, and she thinks Grey's Anatomy is "far too trite"

Felix and Locus' names are listed as Unknown in the book, but I do believe their names were revealed in a s14 episode

The counselor advised the director to tell Tex that Alpha was in Blood Gulch to protect him and stop her from investigating the project

Notable Features of Blood Gulch include "Avoid Tucker's Rock at all costs, as it has not been properly sterilized"

BTS from D: The opening shot of Season 6 was created by shooting players moving in different quadrants and combining the shots"

Important events at High Ground, "Washington killed Agent south in cold blood- with a much less cold flamethrower."

Fact from D: "Once a year, Reds and Blues stationed at Rat's Nest still pay tribute to Agent Alabama by sending a flaming mongoose soaring through the night sky."

Donut likes to spend his leisure time in Federal Army Outpost 37, in the jail cells in handcuffs

The statistics pages, 9 pages of stats from number of robots murdered (112) to Church's sniper rifle accuracy (9.3%)

Bow Chicka Bow Wow was first said in season 4, and Simmons never sucked up in season 12, season one had the most "son of a bitch"s at 14 Donut made 32 accidental innuendos, and the odd number of pedals in vehicles was called out on five occasions Tucker has the highest kill count of all reds and blues (counting wash and Tex), at 24 followed by donut at 22 and Tex at 21, Caboose is the lowest at 2 raised by Lopez and 3 and Church at 8 Sarge has threatened/wished death on Grif 56 times, and Donut has nearly died five times Seasons 2 and 9 had the lowest kill counts Carolina had the highest flash back kills at 68 in season ten, and the twins are tied at 23 kills in season nine

Tex's attack to free Alpha was 2 years before Blood Gulch, the great war ended 1 year after Alpha arrived in Blood Gulch and after the Wyoming incident in Blood Gulch (where they tried to kidnap junior), Chorus takes place 5 years after Alpha initially arrived in Blood Gulch

The mission books has adorable illustrations (they look like Caboose's guides from s14)

There's a mindmap for all the Leonard and Allison iterations and they they connect

Sarge has a guide on how to build a robot, scented lube is preferred, along with mad scientist goggles, a cup of baking soda, and seventeen tablespoons of sugar

More silly plans with fun diagrams

Donut's diary, D tells us that Donut washes his underwear on tuesday's

Caboose's Wisdom section on: feelings, relationships, army etiquette (including gems like crayons don't work as bullets. Use markers.), life, and the reds and blues

Simmons made a text based adventure games

BTS from D, the story of Simmons refusing to go to the Vegas Quadrant is a reference to Gus Sorola (Simmons' VA) refusing to go to Las Vegas with the rest of the rvb creators

You can find the case against Sergeant Grif from the reds at rat's Nest (he was selling red team's ammo to Caboose before he was locked up in the brig, Private Jones wore a wire tap to help the red's catch Grif's under the table dealings)

Leonard met Allison in the mess hall during basic training where he pissed off another recruit and Allison had to save his ass (Church was right, Carolina get's her temper from her mom)

I'm Church. private Church. Leonard. Leonard Church." the only thing I cared about in that moment was that she knew my name. She smiled. Her smile could light up solar systems. "Kind of a funny name. Church." "It's Jewish."

I spent the rest of basic chasing after her. In some ways, I never stopped.

Here's hoping non of our beloved idiots die in season 19! I mean, I know Church will be gone, but the others... they deserve a happy ending.

Also I miss the freelancers and AI...

Calacus Monthly Hit & Miss – The FA & Amir Khan

Every month we look at the best and worst communicators in the sports world from the last few weeks.

HIT - THE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION & THE ALZHEINMER’S SOCIETY

So much has been written in recent years about the risks of brain injury caused by head impacts in rugby and latterly by football.

A number of high profile deaths has prompted concerns about the long-term health of footballers who head the ball regularly.

Former England and West Bromwich Albion and England striker, Jeff Astle, died of dementia in 2002, aged just 59 with a coroner ruling that he was killed by his work as a footballer having scored a large number of headed goals.

Since then, a number of former footballers have been diagnosed with, or died of, dementia, and many of them have had that diagnosis linked to their careers.

Former Leeds and England defender Jack Charlton died in 2020 while Nobby Stiles died in 2020 and Ray Wilson in 2018 – all suffering from dementia. Jack’s brother, Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton, is also a sufferer.

No wonder a group of former football, rugby league and rugby union players have been taking legal action claiming they suffered brain injuries playing their respective sports including relatives of Stiles.

Some research undertaken by the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, published in the Lancet Public Health journal, found that footballers are 50% more likely to develop dementia than the rest of the population.

Its research found that 8.3 per cent of outfield footballers were diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, compared to 5.1 per cent of the control group.

The study compared the health records of 6,000 elite footballers and more than 56,000 non-footballers between 1924 and 2019 and suggested that outfield footballers were 50 per cent more likely to develop dementia than the rest of the population.

The data shows concerning trends, so it is no surprise that in England, the Football Association is trialling banning children under 12 from heading the ball in certain grassroots competitions and leagues. If successful, it will apply to the International Football Association Board for a law change to remove heading for under-12s altogether.

Brain injury charity Headway criticised UEFA for not allowing concussion substitutes in the Women's Champions League after Arsenal and England's Beth Mead suffered a head injury against Ajax.

Luke Griggs, Headway’s chief executive, said: “It is important that football is willing to evolve as our understanding of the long-term implications of repeated sub-concussive impacts increases.

“We know enough now to make balanced, sensible adjustments to limit exposure to head impacts.” This includes “limiting of heading practice drills for adults, and complete bans on children heading the ball as they move through key stages in their physical and neurological development,” he added.

Perhaps, then, the official charity partnership between England’s Football Association and dementia charity The Alzheimer’s Society is a natural fit.

Recent activity around the England Lionesses’ match against Australia, to raise awareness and funds for dementia research and support by encouraging fans to donate, share their memories, and wear blue in support of the cause was executed brilliantly.

An estimated 850,000 people live with dementia in the UK (the writer also lost his Mum to dementia a few years ago), which is likely to increase to above 1 million by 2025.

By using the power of sport to drive positive social change, the campaign was able to create a sense of shared purpose and belonging among fans and players alike.

Most notably, players on both the England and Australia teams played without names on a third of their shirts to highlight the fact that one in three people could forget the name of their favourite player or treasured football memory.

Different players wore the nameless shirts after half-time, to further draw attention to the confusion and memory loss often experienced by those living with dementia, before being auctioned.

Fans were encouraged to engage with the stunt using the hashtag #TheForgottenThird.

Kate Lee, Alzheimer’s Society CEO, said: “Right now, there are too many people facing dementia alone and without the right support.  With The FA’s backing and support, we can reach more people than ever before, and we can reach them sooner.

“The sport has an unrivalled ability to bring people and communities together, which is why we’re asking fans up and down the country to get behind this important cause and donate whatever they can, so no-one must face dementia alone.

“We hope by making this simple alternation with this gesture and getting both teams to show a sign of solidarity, we can put an important spotlight on just how much dementia can devastate lives.

“I hope it makes a massive impact from the stands to screens, inspiring people to donate so we can reach even more people with our life-changing support, which helps people through some of the hardest and most frightening times.”

Ahead of the game, 11-year-old Eve interviewed the Lionesses to discuss what football means to them and their experiences with dementia.

The international fixture was hosted at Brentford FC’s Gtech Community Stadium and saw the unveiling of a striking mural by sports correspondent Carrie Brown.

The large-scale art installation, designed and created by MurWalls, captured key moments of England Women’s football – with fans being encouraged to add their most unforgettable memories to the mural.

England coach Sarina Wiegman said: “Tonight was a chance for both sets of players to come together in recognition of the many people living with dementia and their families and friends who help them.

“I’m very proud to see our players again continue to use their platform to show support for important causes – I hope it inspires fans to donate and support Alzheimer’s Society’s important work.”

The social impact of the campaign, however, was significant. Over the past two seasons, the partnership has raised over £400,000, with thousands more fans, players and staff now knowing where to go to access vital dementia support.

The Alzheimer Society has created a sense of community and purpose around the cause, inspiring thousands of football fans to donate, share their stories, and engage with the issue of dementia in a meaningful way.

MISS – AMIR KHAN

Calacus had the pleasure of working with Amir Khan, who was supporting one of our clients, a few years ago.

Polite, helpful and professional, he was great with the attending media and helpful at every turn.

His boxing career speaks for itself. Khan unified world titles at super-lightweight and faced pound-for-pound stars Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and Terence Crawford during a 40-fight career featuring 34 wins and six defeats.

He has also undertaken a great deal of charity work, launching his own Foundation supporting local business in his hometown of Bolton and disasters in the Philippines and the Indian Ocean Tsunami.

But Khan’s life has also been shrouded in controversy – with his private life being a popular topic for the tabloid newspapers as well as accusations regarding possible homophobic language and an armed robbery that saw Khan lose his expensive watch in East London last year.

In what proved to be his last fight, Khan lost to Kell Brook in the sixth round of their hotly anticipated bout in Manchester in February 2023.

Soon afterwards, he announced his retirement. "It's time to hang up my gloves," Khan, who turned professional in 2005, said on Twitter.

However, with the court case ongoing after the armed robbers were caught, Khan suffered a huge blow to his reputation when the UK Anti-Doping Agency (UKAD) banned him from all sport for two years.

The statement from UKAD Chief Executive Jane Rumble read: “This case serves as a reminder that UKAD will diligently pursue Anti-Doping Rule Violations in order to protect clean sport. 

“Strict liability means Athletes are ultimately responsible for what they ingest and for the presence of any Prohibited Substances in a Sample. It is important that all Athletes and their support personnel, whatever level they are competing at, take their anti-doping responsibilities seriously. Not doing so risks damaging not only an Athlete’s career, but also undermining public confidence in clean sport.”

Khan had been informed that after his fight with Brook, samples had produced an Adverse Analytical Finding (AAF) for ostarine and after a hearing and an independent tribunal, despite proving that his usage was unintentional, Khan was suspended retrospectively.

In reality, while it has an impact on his sporting integrity – albeit minimal because of the small trace of ostarine in his system – his reputation has taken an unexpected knock.

UKAD’s statement indicated that Khan was aware of the verdict in late February this year, although they waited until early April to make the news public.

Armed with that information, Khan should have had a statement prepared explaining his version of events up to and including the ban – and kept in closer contact with UKAD to ascertain when the news was being released.

His failure to do that meant that a scheduled interview on Sky News with Kay Burley was hastily cancelled – while he was already getting ready in the studio.

Without the support of PR advisers, it gave the impression that Khan was blindsided by the timing of the announcement and unprepared when it came out.

Khan had the opportunity at Sky News to calmly give his side of the story – which he could and should have mentally prepared for in the weeks after discovering the UKAD verdict, let alone in the months since his adverse sample had been discovered.

There are occasionally times when “no comment” is the best approach, although those are increasingly rare given the media’s ability to either find alternative experts or use the ‘empty chair’ tactic to add further humiliation to a story.

But if Khan had been advised and supported properly, he could have addressed the situation head-on, with confidence and a clear message which both explained what had happened and what he planned to do about it.

As it was, he was ambushed by another Sky camera crew outside the Sky studios at Millbank, appearing to want to get away and then giving a confused and half-baked explanation which did more harm than good.

There was no manager, nor a PR adviser to support him and the fact that he said that he would write a statement shows how little thought had gone into dealing with this.

During his interview, Khan said: “I never cheated. I’m a retired fighter. At the same time you can see by my performance, my performance against Kell Brook wasn’t the best, I lost the fight. If I went in and knocked Kell Brook out it’s different.

“I’ve never cheated in my life. I’m the one who wanted the testing on the fight and also the amount that was in my system could have been by shaking people’s hand.

“I don’t know what drug was in my system. I’m a retired fighter so I’ve got a two-year ban now it’s quite strange and funny that they’ve rang me, I’m already retired anyway. No comeback plans at all but I’ve never cheated and I never will, that’s not something I would do.”

Promoter Ben Shalom, whose company Boxxer was representing Khan at the time of the Brook fight, admitted that he had no idea about the doping offence or subsequent tribunal.

“I called the board [British Boxing Board of Control] today when I saw it on social media and said, ‘Do you know about this?’ and they said, ‘I only found out yesterday,'” Shalom said.

“We didn’t even know there was a process. We didn’t even know [Khan] failed a test. It’s completely insane. And it’s dangerous.

“There should be no getting out of failing a drug test. It doesn’t matter whether it’s intentional, doesn’t matter what it was. That’s it. A strict liability ban. And it needs to be governed by a world governing body not multiple different people having different opinions with different rules. It is just communication and it’s bullshit. I’m shocked.”

Khan may have had no plans to return to the ring, but he could have minimised the damage to his reputation caused by this doping offence simply by having the foresight to prepare for the inevitable media interest when the story broke.

His initial response further underlines the importance of preparation for every scenario rather than wait until bad news comes out.

Notably, later that week, Khan did a sit-down interview with Sky Sports, having clearly taken the time to do the preparatory work which should have happened way earlier.

During the interview he said: “I don't know how it got into my system, maybe shaking hands, maybe sharing a drink with somebody. It was a big shock to me.

"It's such a tiny amount that was never of any benefit at all. I don't know how it got in there but I should've maybe taken a little bit more precaution. I'm very sorry about it.

“I can honestly say that I've always been a clean fighter. I've always been the type of person who's always asked to be drug tested.

“I don't want to be remembered for something like this, that'll hurt me a lot. If people remember me for just this incident that's happened then I think it'll always upset me because I know it was never done on purpose.

“Hopefully people believe me and maybe take more precaution, especially the young and upcoming fighters can learn from me how mistakes can happen.”

Time will tell whether the label of ‘drug cheat’ is used in reference to Khan, undoing so much of the good he has done for society and the sport of boxing.

His initial shambolic response to the drugs verdict revelations underlines further the need for crisis communications preparation.

Being reactive instead of proactive sets the narrative tone which is often tough to recover from.

Authors Note: It's out! Sorry it took a while

It had been about 2 years since young Charles Lee Ray hadn't seen Tiffany Valentine. Ever since he was put in foster care his foster mom had to move away due to a money shortage and she had to move back in with her mom much to Chucky's disapproval he and Tiffany tried to stay in contact but eventually, life pulled them apart. He decided he needed to lay low on the killing since he barely got away with killing his father and stepmom. But she had gotten a new and financially stable job that was in Hackensack. So they moved back and found a house around Chucky's old neighborhood. He saw Tiffany's old house abandoned and just decided that she had moved away they were both about to enter high school and start a new chapter in their lives.

"Chucky you ready for school?!"

"Yeah! I'll be down in a sec!"

He actually liked his foster mom she wasn't cruel and she respected him and showed him genuine care so he returned her kindness with respect and tried to behave.

"Well you look handsome! You ready for your first day of high school?"

"Yeah I guess."

He sat down and ate a bowl of cereal and a banana. He grabbed his began and walked down that all to familiar sidewalk where him and Tiffany always walked together. He let out a sigh and enter the school campus. It was the same one he attended as a kid since it was a K-12 school. Everything looked about the same, but somethings here and there had an updated look. He attended class and was bored out of his mind.

"CHARLES!!!"

"HM! Yes Ms.?"

"If you think you are going to get anywhere in my class without even keeping your head up, then you are sadly mistaken!!!"

Chucky internally rolled his eyes annoyed at his teacher. He could do math well beyond his years. He loved math. Numbers always just made sense to him everything always clicked.

"But I already know how to do this Ms."

"OH REALLY! Then solve this equation!"

Chucky didn't even bother getting up.

"-34.6"

The teacher squinted her eyes not buying it.

"FINE! What the answer this equation then Smart Guy?"

Chucky just glanced up for 2 seconds and then rested his head on his arm.

"214.97"

Everyone in the class went silent. The teacher took a moment to check his answer and found it to be correct.

"Um. V-very good Charles."

She didn't bother him for the rest of class.

After math he went to lunch and ate by himself. He missed Tiffany. He eventually got bored and decided to go to the field. Kids were playing soccer. Chucky just sat there and watched.

"HEY KID!!!!"

Chucky shot up and looked at the boy who he think was talking to him.

"YEAH YOU!!! We're playing soccer and we're down a player! Come join! You can play right?"

"Yeah, I can play."

"What's your name man?"

"Charles." He decided to go by that name for now since he didn't want people he didn't fully know to call him by the name he actually liked.

"Ok, Charles. You're front field."

Chucky wasn't lying his foster mom enrolled him in some sports programs to keep him busy while she tried to look for a job. These included soccer, football, track and field, and rugby. Even though Charles wasn't the bulkiest and was on the thinner side he was fast and quite strong not to mention how smart he was.

He joined in on the game and turned the tables real quick their opposing team went from winning to losing horribly. Chucky and his team won and Chucky let out a victory laugh and caught the attention of someone. After he left the field and went to grab a drink of water some girl approached him.

"...C-C-Chucky?"

He froze he hadn't told anybody his nickname given to him by his best friend.

"How do you know my name? And my nickname at that?"

He turned around not recognizing her voice.

His baby blue eyes interlocked with her coffee brown ones. He immediately knew who she was and she knew who he was.

"T-T-TIFF!!!!"

She smiled and grabbed him hugging him tight and began crying tears of joy.

"I missed you Sweetface!"

Chucky hugged her back and let one single tear come from his eye.

"I missed you too Tiff."

"So you've gotten taller I see."

The last time Tiffany saw him he was shorter than her and was quite surprised at his height change.

"Yeah. Haha. So how ya been?"

"Fine, what about you?"

"PEACHY!!! Actually to tell you the truth I've been kinda out of it. I missed you. Life got kinda boring not hanging out with you."

Dream documentation dump

*because today I had one that was easily S tier and then realised I don’t document my dreams enough.

Pictures included to help with visualisation :) -------------

1) Dream of 27/4/21

Featured Characters: Cure Grace, Cure Summer (Pretty Cure), Chicken Little’s dad (the Disney movie Chicken Little), Lunette Agnarsson (Original Character), Masa Shimamoto (Meta Runner), Pelly, Phyllis, Copper, Booker, Blathers (Animal Crossing).

Parts: 2. __________________________________-

Part 1 (The Gaming Setup) -- Cures Grace and Summer lived with unknown parents in a house, and they were sisters. Cure Summer wanted a gaming setup, but the father of this house didn't have Dad Building Skills, so Cure Grace called Chicken Little’s dad, who did know how to build stuff.

He came over and built a cool desk thing in the garden where there was space, but he knew nothing about the gaming part! So he called Lunette, who was in the supermarket.

Because Lunette is tall af, she saw Masa in the next aisle and was like “yep, that’s your tech guy.” She waved at him, which annoyed him because he is Edgy and Lunette is Loud and Annoying.

Now Lunette (wearing a high vis jacket and sunglasses over her glasses) and Masa were in the garden and Masa built the computers and shit. Lunette did nothing except play the role of director.

The girls had their gaming setup now, and everybody liked that.

___________

Part 2 (Animal Crossing Secrets) -- In this dream, the bedrooms of the Pelican sisters were revealed. They shared a living space, but their rooms were divided into different parts of the space and they both had unique themes. The furniture inside their rooms was rare and only obtainable by a gacha system.

Then Blathers and his museum were seen. I do not remember what the dogs did. I just know they were there. ___________________________________________END

2) Dream of 16/5/22

Featured Characters: Laurent (Fire Emblem), Steve, Alex (Minecraft), Me, Duchess (my dog), Original Dream Character.

Parts: 1. __________________________________ Panda Girl Protection Team -- There was an evil organisation with 12 devastatingly powerful team members and a boss. They were all aware of a 13th, greater power and they wanted to use her. Their only problem? This girl is a pacifist, and she has a protection squad. She has brown hair and a panda themed bag so I’ll call her panda girl.

The protection squad have a big mission tomorrow, so they sleep on their weird ass triple bunk bed/wardrobe thing. The Minecraft folk have the middle bunk. And me, Duchess and Laurent (omg! fan moment right there!) have to share the top bunk. It’s cramped but Duchess is warm and cuddly.

Morning comes and we have to wear disguises to do some power testing stuff with the pacifist panda girl. I wanna wear cute clothes. Laurent says no. We have to wear blue mormon clothes. Meanwhile Duchess wiggles.

We do some stuff with the girl and then the dream ends. Duchess loves everyone!!! ___________________________________________END

3) Dream of 20/10/22

Featured Characters: Steve (Minecraft), Wallace (Wallace and Gromit, Serena, Calem, Professor Sycamore, Diantha, Guzma (Pokemon).

Parts: 2 ___________

Part 1 (The weird Roblox game) -- This dream was set in some sort of Roblox game where you kill other players by jumping on them, and you grow in size the more you kill. Also if you kill someone large you grow a lot, but if you get jumped on, you lose all your progress and you have to start again.

The main player base was young mean girls with their Pinterest aesthetic avatars. A toxic playerbase indeed. 

Wallace joined and after a few failed attempts, he got quite good. Like, top 3 good. The nice people of the server rejoiced, but the toxic players did not like that. So they lured him to a shed and put superglue on his neck. For some reason this killed him.

Also there was parkour high in the sky and Steve died after falling from a high place.

___________

Part 2 (The S-Tier Open World Pokemon Game) -- Now this dream is the reason I’m making this post in the first place~

Anyway. As the title says, this was the best open world Pokemon game EVER! Basically, you had 2 characters that you could switch out at any time (each with their own pokemon), and you controlled a primary character while the secondary one followed, and you could switch their roles at any time.

At the start of the game, you got to choose your first primary character (the first secondary one would be chosen as you played the game and found character changing areas). The choices were all the game protagonists. I don’t recall who I picked, but it seems my cursed blorbo Calem was the lead, so uhh. yeah.

Anyway, once that was done, you basically had free exploration across the entire world of pokemon, as well as game-exclusive locations. The starting island was a new minor region, with “more flowers and colours than any of the other regions”. Swimming, climbing, fighting: just any and all world interaction was possible here. 

So we (I was playing the game), ended up swimming to Sinnoh, which had an exclusive little Alola hangout and a Hisui town replica. Here, Guzma was added to the team. But then I saw a secret character exclusively accessible from the Hisui replica, so I temporarily made him my main to..  beat people up. That was a thing you could do in this game. And also Fire Emblem Fate’s silly armour break thing happened when you did a lot of damage. Nothing nasty or illegal because it was pokemon and I sure as hell do not want to see that in my game or dream. It was more like an outfit alteration thing, where they would lose something, but then when their current outfit was damaged enough, they would magically wear a new one. That was one way to change the appearances of everyone.

Guzma wore the Hisui survey corps uniform for a bit, before being shuffled back to his original swag attire. Then he went to a chicken shop.

The aforementioned character changing areas were mostly found on bridges, and they had pictures of the four possible characters you could switch to there. From the Alola/Hisui area, I switched back to the blorbo, while also switching my secondary to Serena. 

Another thing about the outfit rotation/breaking thing was that different outfits appeared depending on who induced the change. So the Hisui exlusive guy made playable characters wear clothes from Legends: Arceus, while Guzma would make characters wear punk attire (why it wasn’t street swag was beyond me).

Uhh the Kalos duo then swam to Diantha’s wine factory, where Calem stole Professor Sycamore’s prized wine and then they swam to Lumiose City which looked SWAG in the dream. Everywhere looked like it had perfect GTA level of detail! 

I did some more outfit shuffling and some exploring (admiring the graphics and imagining how cool the other regions would look). Serena had lovely chic outfits while Calem mostly had shitty loungewear. BRUH. Then angry Diantha and Sycamore came and they wanted the wine back. Serena minded her own business while I had to make Calem outrun the police. He became an outlaw lmao.

Anyway that dream was so good I didn't want to wake up, but I did wonder: where were the Pokemon? I’m sure if this were a real game, they would be very useful in exploring and battling. And I would LOVE to visit Hoenn and explore as Steven and Wallace :)) As Champion/Gym Leader, their battles and encounters would be very interesting.

Anyway that's all the dreams I wanted to share enjoy the summaries and images. I did not draw because that would take all year.

A Golden Lovers Timeline

PART 12: THE AMERICAN NIGHTMARE

[ID: gif of Cody leaning forward and saying: “Is the world ready for the American Nightmare?” End ID LINK]

Cody Rhodes joins Bullet Club December 10th, 2016 under the ring name: “the American Nightmare”

Kenny introduces him to us as a monster and oh boy is he right

[ID: two gifs of Kenny doing a promo in the ring, talking to the camera. He says: “The next member of the Bullet Club is a monster. Rest assured, things round here will change.” End ID LINK]

Cody is wrestling royalty, recently escaped from under the thumb of Vince McMahon, striking out on his own for the first time, and the bucks have kind of adopted him and taken him under their wing. he starts showing up in BTE and their hotel Q&As in February 2017, part of the gang already

[ID: gif of Matt hugging Cody while Nick (who is holding the camera) gives them a Too Sweet gesture. End ID LINK]

in his first njpw interview he gets asked about tension within the bullet club and he assures us that the BC is like Camelot, a round table of equals 

[ID: picture of Cody in a blue suit. he has brown hair and his left eye has an American flag contact that makes him look just slightly off. He’s saying: “Think of it this way: it’s Camelot, if that makes any sense. It’s a round table. Everybody’s an equal.” End ID LINK]

(the fact that camelot famously had a king seems to slip his mind)

But the cracks in Cody’s Team Player facade start to show pretty quickly

Cody is the one who ties to throw in the towel on Kenny’s behalf at Dominion (June 11, 2017) claiming he’s worried about Kenny’s well-being. but the bucks stop him. After the match Cody shows up at Okada’s post-match comments, calls him “stud” and issues his own title challenge [LINK]

[ID: picture of Cody leaning towards a sweaty and tired looking Okada and yelling: “You’re AFRAID to measure yourself against a goddamn SUPERSTAR like myself!” Okada looks unimpressed. End ID]

He gets his chance at the G1 Special (July 1-2, 2017), but no one seems to take his challenge particularly seriously (it’s clear from Kenny’s OnTheRoad videos from this time, that he assumes Cody will lose)

During Cody’s match, Kenny mirrors Cody’s actions at Dominion with his own towel and is also stopped by the bucks. and after the match their conflict almost becomes physical

[ID: gif of Kenny yelling at an irate Cody while the bucks push the two apart. end ID LINK]

but once again the bucks keep the pot from boiling over

Kenny and Cody promise that it’s water under the bridge, but neither is being particularly honest

The thing you need to know about Cody is that he’s a snake. In some ways he and Kenny are alike, both are incredibly ambitious and neither is interested in being second to anyone. but they’re ambitious in different ways. Kenny’s ambition has a goal, he’s ambitious because he wants to be a legend, he wants to change the world, he wants to be loved, he wants to be worthy. Cody is ambitious because there is no other way of existing that has meaning to him.

[ID: Cody with blond hair in backstage comments, clearly upset. He says: “He said I’m not the leader. Great. Great. Then who am I? Then who am I?” End ID LINK]

If you took away his *personal* ambition, there would still be things inside Kenny. he would still have motivations and desires. If you pulled out Cody’s ambition, rooted deep into the earth of his very soul like a weed, it would kill him dead. it would transform him utterly. The best you can hope for with Cody are some strong fcking breaks.

But unlike the recently murdered Adam Cole, Cody is smart enough to see that direct confrontation with Kenny won’t get him what he wants, at least not yet, not while the bucks are still resolutely in Kenny’s corner.

So he bides his time. He observes.

he doesn’t get anywhere right away but he keeps his eyes open, and it doesn’t take him long to notices something that no one else in the bullet club seems to:

Kota Ibushi

Kenny’s open wound. the way Kenny is always, always talking about Kota Ibushi but barely able to hear his name or look him in the face. The guilt and hurt and love that Kenny is just bleeding out everywhere he goes, where anyone can see but no one seems to look. And when Cody makes some innocuous comment about looking for a Wrestle Kingdom opponent, Kenny tells him he can pick anyone he wants, but to stay away from Kota Ibushi. And Cody tastes blood in the water.

So he starts poking.

When Kota loses his emotional IC title match against Tanahashi (Nov. 5, 2017 - LINK), Cody comes to his post-match comments and issues a challenge.

[ID: two gifs of Kota sitting on the ground in post-match comments, and Cody standing above him in a red suit, holding the ROH title. Cody says: “Kenny told me to leave you alone. Kenny told me to leave you alone, but I just couldn’t resist.” End ID.]

“Kenny told me to leave you alone but I just couldn’t resist. And I know you wanted that one! I know you wanted it, [faux sympathetic voice] so close! but it's not always about what we want. Sometimes, it's about what we need, right? See, I- I need you. I need you to stand across from me at the Tokyo Dome. I need you to be my opponent at Wrestle Kingdom. What do they say, always pick a fight that's big enough to matter but small enough for you to win? I'm already the biggest box office in the industry, and you- you're the small part. So get ready to kiss the ring and get ready to get down on your knees when you do it! Sleep on it, stud.”

- Cody Rhodes [LINK]

(i super did not clock the ‘get down on your knees’ bit back then lmao)

Kota doesn’t respond immediately but it’s announced later that he accepted the challenge

(one has to assume he was interested in Cody’s mention of Kenny if nothing else. Here Cody is after all, giving him a sliver of hope that maybe Kenny does still care about him, despite their failed touch in the hallway)

In their tag match leading up to WK12 [Dec 11, 2017 - LINK] Cody displays…

[ID: two gifs. in the first Cody holds up his hand with a ring on it, asking Kota to kiss the ring. Kota shoves his hand out of his face. In the second Cody holds Kota’s hand and showily kisses it, looking Kota in the eyes. End ID]

let’s call it a decidedly malicious, subtly amorous interest in Kota (that will become much less subtle pretty much immediately)

Because you see, Cody knows about the golden lovers.

He’s trying to get to Kenny through Kota, and these aren’t the taunts one would use to get to an old tag partner. Cody knows they’re not just old tag partners. He knows that “lovers” is not just a name.

He’s the only one in the bullet club who seems to.

And with this knowledge he is perfectly placed to cause maximum damage, to hurt Kenny and Kota like no one else knows how

and at WK12 he gets his first shot

[PART 13] [ALL PARTS]

[wheredidhiseyebrowsgo]

Hi!! I love your blog!! Could you recommend some fics of Omega Stiles and Alpha Derek? Preferably 20k words above?

I can do that, @leavederekalonepls!

-THE HUNT IS ON- by kukinom

(7/? I 20,905 I Teen)

'What're you doing here?'' Oh no, Alpha voice. Luckily Stiles was drunk enough to ignore the urge to tell the mortifying truth - that he was actually planning on stealing the guys worn undies for his nest.

''Oh! you- what!? You mean- this ISN'T actually my apartment?'' looking around exaggeratedly, flailing his arms for emphasis, Stiles tried to act confused. The Alpha just stands there watching him, unamused.

''Why are you here? Who sent you?''

''Sent-? No, wait-'' Real confusion makes it's way onto Stiles face until overridden by horror at the sight of the gun now pointed directly at him.

Falling into Love by GrimReaperlover11

(18/18 I 24,552 I Teen)

in a world where Omegas are on top and Alphas are kept as house servants, Stiles Stilinski takes his friend Lydia's advice and goes to the facility in town to get one, however when he doesn't click with any of the usually offered alphas, the facility owner, Deaton, offers him one last hope in the form of Derek Hale, an alpha with a hard past and who thinks himself broken.

But Stiles is hoping he can show this alpha that broken pieces can fall back into place.

an exaltation of larks by llassah

(1/1 I 25,370 I Explicit)

There are times when he feels as if they could fall into bed together, easy as breathing. If Stiles were not highborn, if he were an omega without connections, Derek would be sorely tempted. As it is, he resists. Derek wants, he yearns, but he resists. Still, the sight of Stiles in his cot is enough to test him, even now that it is familiar. At the end of each lambing season, he sleeps for a week, worn down by months of hard work, of relentless struggle. He doesn’t know how he’ll feel by the time Stiles leaves, how he’ll feel after long days and longer nights spent resisting the insistent tug of Stiles’s scent and the inclinations of his own foolish heart.

All Derek wants is to get through the lambing season with his body and spirit intact. He had thought that the blizzards would be the main danger, not a highborn omega with beautiful eyes and a stubborn streak.

Disappear Here by AgnesBlue

(4/4 I 28,539 I Mature)

Stiles was quiet. “What?” Derek said again. “My first heat is coming up soon,” Stiles said at last. Derek closed his eyes, disinterested. He knew where Stiles was going with this. “I was thinking…hoping, really,” Stiles said. “Maybe you could stay with me during that time.”

AU in which wounded in a fire that killed off his entire family, Derek wants nothing more than to be left alone as he finishes off his senior year in high school. That all changes when omega Stiles Stilinski asks him to help him through his first heat.

“Your kid,” Derek said slowly, “came running up to me. Tried to nuzzle a hole into my calf.”

Stiles let out a laugh. It sounded bitter. “Caleb wouldn’t just leave my side like that. Did you call his name?”

“I’m not a—”

“A child predator? That’s exactly what a child predator would say, Derek."

a little advice for aspiring fires by The Byger (Byacolate)

(10/10 I 43,182 I Explicit)

Regardless of his sadly lacking social circle, Stiles was going to have to get some physical contact or he was going to explode. Seriously. It’d be messy and Derek would probably become even more emotionally constipated having to clean up little bits of Stiles from his pristine walls and furniture.

The Fox & The Wolf by Dexterous_Sinistrous

(10/10 I 79,151 I Explicit)

The war between the fox and wolf clans has raged for centuries, ignited in a time before anyone can remember. Now both clans—tired of the bloodshed and hate—are searching for a way to end the war.

Crowned prince Stiles Stilinski—heir to the fox clan—has agreed with his father to meet with the Hales, the ruling royal family over the wolf clan. Under the counseling of the Druids, both clans are presented with a solution to the war: unite the Stilinski and Hale clans through marriage. To quell their people's anger, both Stiles and Derek—eldest living Hale Alpha—are urged to accept the other as an equal; as their mate.

For the sake of their people, both houses make the ultimate sacrifice by choosing duty over love. But, out of what was first assumed to be compromised, quickly turns to be a better match than either could have hoped for. But not all is easy for either clan, as some members refuse to believe that the war could end so easily.

Protection of the pack by Gemini_00

(27/? I 230,247 I Mature)

Omegas, Allison and Stiles escape there abusive pack. They find their way to the McCall/Hale pack and find comfort and love there. But it comes with complications of hunters and their old pack that wants their sweet omegas back.

Blue Monday by ExpectNothingGainEverything

(18/? I 511,120 I Explicit)

Stiles would have never guessed that the star player of the lacrosse team and presumably the hottest guy in school who everyone wanted a piece of and one of his most hated bullies would turn out to be his soulmate.

Derek would never have dreamed that fate would be so cruel to pair him up with a freak like Stilinski.

Nell:  Ibid. Fatima:  Allergic to avocados. Roundtree:  Still in San Diego. Hetty:  Negotiating the return of two NCIS agents from Syria.

Who's down with OTP:  Kensi is pimping out Deeks and enjoying it.

Who's down with BrOTP:  You know, Sam and the Admiral could be real buddies.

Any pressing need for a cranky retired Admiral?  So much so he’s here.

Who is running the team this week?  Kilbride but barely.

Fashion review:  Callen is in a blue long-sleeve tee-shirt and a black jacket before wearing a janitor’s uniform.  Sam is in a red long-sleeve tee-shirt with a black jacket.  Kensi is wearing a pale grey sweater and black leather jacket.  Deeks starts the episode in a blue suit with a crisp white dress shirt and no tie.  Later, he’s in a dark blue zip-up hoodie and a blue-grey long tee-shirt.  On the Pier, Deeks has a poncho and I can’t even describe Kirkin’s clothes at the photo shoot.  Pale purple sweater for Fatima.

Music:  Three songs!  “Weight of the World” by Willow Robinson is playing in the teaser.  “Les Hugueots: Overture” from the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra is the music Deeks uses to mask his conversation with Callen.  “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred is Kirkin’s modeling music.

Any notable cut scene: Not cut scenes but this had both the episode commentary by Daniela Ruah as well as a nine-minute feature about Ruah directing.  They are getting their own post.

Quote:  Kilbride:  “He's being questioned by the Center for Counterterrorism.” Sam:  “About what?” Kilbride:  “Being a Russian asset.” Sam:  “Are you kidding me?” Kilbride:  “Am I known for being a kidder?” Fatima:  “How could anyone suspect Callen of being a Russian agent?” Kilbride:  “Well, in case you have been too busy surfing or enjoying your organic avocado toast, there has been a bit of a... power struggle in this country lately.” Fatima:  “ I don't surf, and I'm allergic to avocados…sir.”

Anything else:  The previouslys are all from “The Bear”.  At the beach, Callen is calling a disconnected number as he broods.   As he starts to return to his car, he sees he’s picked up a tail.  He takes a picture of the big SUV following him.  When he starts to walk away, he ducks and is suddenly next to the SUV.  They speed off.  The short credits run.

Fatima joins Callen in Ops.  He’s not sure he has a case, just an SUV trailing him.  He’s had a feeling he’s been followed for the last few days.  Since he’s running an errand, could Fatima run down the owner of the SUV.  She wants to know if the team should be involved.  Callen is waiting for more intel.

As Callen is walking into the DOJ, Special Agent Effie Carlson wants to know why he’s there.  Callen calls it routine NCIS business.  Carlson knows he’s there to meet someone from the National Counterterrorism Center – she’s running the task force.  She also wants to know why Callen wants to question Russian pilot Oleg Barinov.  Since there are a lot of easier ways for Barinov’s Captain Gonchgarov to defect, Callen has some questions.

Carlson invites Callen into a conference room.  She believes he’s wasting his time.  In three months, the Russians never spoke to any US officials.  They may have spoken to Russian officials – they’ve seen them and any conversation can’t be recorded.  Before entering the conference room, Callen has to put his phone and gun into a lockbox.  She wishes Callen luck.

With an American guard, Barinov joins Callen.  Callen has no interest in the guard so he’s dismissed.  Oleg has no real interest in Callen.  Won’t even sit down.  Callen asks about family, returning to Russia and his surprise that none of the plane’s crew except Gonchgarov sought asylum.  The US would have negotiated to have his family join Barinov in the US.  It would have taken time but they would be together.

With Barinov saying he’s not a traitor, Callen asks if Barinov considers Gonchgarov a traitor now that he’s defecting.  Gonchgarov actions put everyone in jeopardy.  Landing the plane in the field could have killed the entire crew.  No response.  Callen wishes Barinov a safe trip back to Russia and ends the interview.  As the guard returns, Barinov says Captain Gonchgarov is a true patriot.  Callen is surprised.

Joining Callen in the conference room, Carlson wants to know what Callen has on Barinov.  Other than the basic family info, Callen doesn’t have much to share.  Carlson talks about Callen’s work history – that he was CIA before NCIS working mostly in Russia.  Callen says it was really the Ukraine.  Carlson notes some people consider the Ukraine part of Russia.  Ukrainians do not.

Bringing up Callen’s birth name – she has Grisha Aleksandrovich Nikolaev – which is about as Russian as it comes.  Callen jokes about being Irish.  More time is spent on the Callen family history – his KGB Dad who was disillusioned by the Soviet Union.  Callen mentions that dear old Dad wound up being a CIA asset.  Anna is brought into the conversation because she’s Russian too.  Carlson asks for Anna’s location and Callen can honestly tell Carlson he has no idea.  “I’m starting to think we’re broken up.”  Arkady comes up and as difficult as it is to believe, he was KGB too.  Carlson has lovely photos of all of the Russians in Callen’s life.

Callen’s done with this.  He’s sorry things did not go well in the hallway and he’s sorry Carlson’s group has had no luck with Barinov but the crew of the plane are a group of “very nice young airmen” who want to go home.  They are not a threat.  When Callen starts to leave, Carlson pushes a button on the conference room table. Callen can’t leave even though he’d like to.  Carlson wants to how long “Grisha” has been working for the Russians.

As Sam arrives to an empty bullpen, he asks an arriving Fatima where everyone is.  Kensi and Deeks have an appointment but are expected soon.  Roundtree is in San Diego giving a deposition.  Callen was in earlier but left.  Sam tried to call Callen but Callen didn’t pick up.  Fatima is worried which has Sam worried.  Fatima recaps Callen’s beach morning. Sam is unhappy he’s just hearing about this.  Both Callen’s phone and car are off-line.  Fatima apologizes but Sam tells her Callen should have told her where he was going.  Sam is going to alert the team but wants Fatima to find the last known location of Callen’s phone or car.

With more photos, Carlson is now going through Anna’s prison time and Kate Miller who “surprise to surprise” was a Russian agent.  Callen would like some coffee, completely bored by the presentation.  Next in Callen’s Russian connections is Zasha Gagarin who NCIS spoke with 91-days ago.  Callen explains Gagarin gave up the names of the people on the plane.  That makes no sense to Carlson since Gagarin is a spy – why would she help.  Callen explains that Gagarin enjoys a certain lifestyle in Los Angeles.  NCIS paid her because communism is not as fun as a Neiman’s shoe sale.

Stunned, Carlson thinks Russia gave NCIS the information they wanted to hear.  Callen knows that but it was a smart risk considering what they knew.  Carlson reminds Callen that while they captured the crew, the “strategic bomber” was blown up by Callen, losing all the valuable intel inside.  Callen makes it clear, the crew blew up the plane.  It was in his after-action report.  In Sam’s after-action report was his belief that blowing up the plane was a mistake.  Callen thought it was better to save the crew and lose the plane than to lose all of them.  Carlson notes the crew are more Russians in the story – plus of course Callen.

While Callen thinks Carlson was following him, she denies it.  He asks what is her goal with the interview.  She’s trying to protect the country from foreign intervention.  Callen is disappointed but then again, conspiracy theories are all the rage these days.  Still, he expected more out of a federal agency.  Callen has been identified as a Russian asset.  Callen asks if she writes fan fiction in her spare time.  He also asks for her sources.  While not at liberty to reveal the DOJ’s sources, Carlson says everything their informant has given them has been verified.  

The last place Fatima has for Callen’s car and phone is right near the Federal Building in Westwood.  If Callen is in a secure area, that would mean his phone signal was blocked but Sam still doesn’t understand why car tracker isn’t working since there is no underground parking lot.

Joining the in-Ops fun is  Admiral Kilbride.  Sam introduces Fatima to Kilbride.  The Admiral knows where Callen is – “in the middle of a witch hunt” – and fills Sam in. Fatima is stunned anyone would believe “Agent Callen” is a spy.  The Admiral thinks Fatima has been too busy surfing and eating organic avocado toast to notice the power struggle going on in the country.  Fatima doesn’t surf and is allergic to avocados.  The Admiral actually smiles.

With Callen in custody, his car has likely been impounded and held in a secured area – that’s why the GPS isn’t working.  Fatima asks why Callen hasn’t called for a lawyer.  Sam thinks while the DOJ believes they are interrogating Callen, he’s actually questioning them.  He’ll figure out what the DOJ is looking for and then stop cooperating.  Kilbride will call the SecNav so she will start making some phone calls.  Sam wants to get someone into the DOJ.

Callen is questioning Carlson.  He’s asking about when she was tipped off about his “so-called Russian connections.”  Callen wants to understand the timeline.  An official comes in to speak with Carlson.  Callen says if she has other obligations, he’s happy to finish up.

Outside of the conference room is Deeks, who is trying to sell his bar to Barinov’s guard.  Carlson arrives, asking who Deeks is.  With a card, he announces he’s Martin Atticus Deeks, Esquire.  He is there for his highly decorated and respected client Special Agent G. Callen – he asks “who, pray tell, are you?”  Carlson introduces herself.  Deeks takes a photo of her ID badge for his friend “Wolfy” at CNN who is a stickler for details and the truth.  Carlson wants to know who told Deeks to appear.  Deeks calls lawyer/client privilege.  He also tells Carlson her boss is about to get a call about now clearing this all up.  Carlson assures Deeks she’s the boss.  He thinks she’s probably not the boss anymore.  

Deeks joins Callen, asking “how you doing there tiger?”  Deeks has Carlson leave because he wants to speak to his client alone.  Deeks opens his briefcase as Carlson leaves.  Callen wants to know why Deeks is there.  He has a sandwich and a speaker.  Playing a little classical music, Carlson can’t hear what’s going on through the door – “sneaky bastard”.  

Callen tells Deeks what he knows – the DOJ is hunting for a Russian mole.  Deeks jokes that they finally got Callen.  Not sure if this is about him, Hetty or someone they know, Callen has been identified as a Russian Agent.  Deeks asks why but Carlson left behind photos of Garrison, Anna, Katya, Arkady and Gagarin.  Deeks knows how it looks.

In the upstairs office, Kilbride talks about rumors of a high ranking US member of the intelligence community actually be a Russian agent.  Sam thought that was an urban legend.  Hetty had a plan to smoke them out.  Fatima is explaining the same story to Kensi in the bullpen so the scene goes back and forth.  

Posing as journalist, two agents were put into Syria by Hetty. She had them share intel in a controlled manner that would get back to Washington.  By monitoring who says what, she could find the spy by how Assad and his Russian backers moved troops.  As Hetty was getting close, the government grabbed the agents.  The US government doesn’t know if the agents’ covers were blown.  Hetty is negotiating their release.  Callen could be a misdirection in all of this.  With Callen being Hetty’s prized protégé, the spy inside the government could be covering their work.

Carlson has had enough of the overture from “Les Hugueots”.  Callen thinks she’s more a fan of Kraftwerk.  She wants both Callen and DEEKS gone from the Federal Building.  Deeks notes she got the call from above he promised.

In the parking structure, Callen tells Deeks about Barinov’s line about Gonchgarov being a true patriot.  Callen thinks it is a code.  A lot of time and money goes into getting a Russian spy in with US intelligence.  Accusing Callen of being a spy could take away attention from someone else.  Lose an old bomber and its crew to get their spy inside the US or protect another.

Just as Hetty was looking for the mole, the plane landed.  Callen thinks Gonchgarov is working for the Russian Intelligence. There would be just enough intel on the plane to make it look like the Captain defected.  The problems started when the plane blew up.  Callen is going back into the building.  He has idea and turns himself back in.  Deeks calls Sam, who is stunned. Carlson is surprised Callen had a change of heart.  He hasn’t.  He just needs to see Captain Gonchgarov.

Up in Ops, Fatima and Kensi are reviewing all the Russians the team has dealt with over the years.  The need to find someone they trust.  That’s a problem.  Kensi finds one – Kirkin.

Deeks is not on-board for Kirkin.  He recommends Arkady but Arkady’s links to Callen knock him out of consideration.  Deeks feels so – Kensi suggests “special” – but Deeks thinks “dirty” working with Kirkin.  Deeks is the only one who can get Kirkin to help.  Changing her voice to a high pitch, Kensi asks “please” and Deeks relents.

Walking down a residential street in Los Angeles, the Admiral is yelling at Sam on his cell asking what the hell is wrong with NCIS.  Kilbride thinks it is a terrible plan.  Sam thinks it is the only plan they have.  Besides, the Admiral put a dead guy in a golf cart once..  Getting into his vehicle, Kilbride thinks the team has all been drinking Hetty’s Kool-Aid.  A gunman arrives and shoots Kilbride.

Carlson is moving Captain Gonchgarov from his safehouse.  There has been an incident and she doesn’t believe he’s safe.  Kilbride is rushed off in an ambulance with EMT Kensi Blye.  The Admiral is disgusted with himself for going along with the plan.  Kensi remembers the dead guy in the golf cart and Kilbride is finished with that.  He starts reminiscing about a time when he once emptied a morgue and decides that’s not a good story to tell.  Kensi agrees.

Deeks arrives as Kirkin is having a meltdown in “The House of Kirkin”.  Kirkin’s frown turns upside down when he sees Deeks.  He introduces Deeks as LAPD to the people in the studio.  Deeks updates Kirkin on his career change and Kirkin is delighted Deeks is a very secret agent.  Kirkin has turned over a new leaf.  Through art and fashion, he’s giving back.  “Why not share this with the world.”  Deeks asks for a favor and Kirkin thinks they can help each other.

As Gonchgarov is being sped to a different location, this SUV is cut off by a Sprinter van.  The driver and his partner are executed, Gonchgarov is put in the van.  It is Callen and the team doing the kidnapping.

Bringing Gonchgarov to the boat shed, Kirkin at the table in the main room in is a plastic jumpsuit.  There is a tarp in the back of the boat shed’s main area with a sheet over a body.  There is blood on the sheet.  Kirkin explains to Callen that he didn’t mean to kill her but things happen.  There is a news report on the big screen about Kilbride’s assassination.  Kirkin is cleaning up the mess – Kilbride was a Russian asset.  They got Gonchgarov away from the DOJ just in time.

Callen is interrogating Gonchgarov – someone outed Kilbride and the Americans killed him.  Unless another Russian spy killed Kilbride.  Gonchgarov denies being part of any of it.  He’s not Russian intelligence.  He just wants to live in America.  Callen calls Gonchgarov a traitor.  

In Ops, Kilbride joins Fatima to watch Masterpiece Theater.

Still in the main section of the boat shed, Callen asks if Gonchgarov gave him up.  Gonchgarov doesn’t even know who Callen is.  Kirkin calls Gonchgarov  a liar and, pulling out some pliers to find the truth.   The door opens to the boat shed and Deeks is dragged in by Sam wearing a ski-mask.  Deeks is thrown on the tarp in the back of the boat shed.  Callen drags Gonchgarov to interrogation.  Kirkin is worried about “Marty” but he’s fine.  Kensi, the woman under the tarp, needs to pee.  As Kensi races to the restroom, Deeks starts warming up for his screaming.  

Gonchgarov insist he is defecting but asks if Callen is really working for the Russians.  “How do you think I knew where to look for your plane?”  And who blew it up to keep it from the Americans.  Gonchgarov says he’s just a pilot.  Callen disagrees.  Gonchgarov is either an asset or a liability.  Deeks’s screams can now be heard through the interrogation room walls.   Callen says the good thing about the boat shed is nobody hears the noise and it is easy to throw bodies into the ocean.

Fatima asks Kilbride if he believes Gonchgarov believes what’s going on.  “Not unless he’s an idiot.”  Fatima notes the Admiral isn’t big on encouragement.  “Not everyone got a trophy when I grew up.”

With Callen promising that Kirkin can get him both papers and work, Gonchgarov isn’t interested in a new identity.  Callen asks what does he think is going to happen if he doesn’t cooperate.  Since the US in the land of opportunity, Gonchgarov thinks he can work hard and be something.  Callen calls him an embarrassment to Moscow.  He won’t be allowed to live in the US happily ever after.  Gonchgarov says his freedom is worth the risk.

Sam tells Deeks to stop screaming – Gonchgarov isn’t budging.  Deeks really thought he was selling the story.  Kirkin had goosebumps.  Deeks asks why does Kirkin have to make things weird.

If he is return to the American authorities, Gonchgarov will share the one thing he has – a phone number he was made to memorize it in case he was in trouble in foreign territory.  In the main room, Sam thinks it could be legit but the Russians could have a dozens of numbers for different situations.  

Fatima traces the number to London.  Kilbride thinks it is a hub where they can trace the caller’s location and get a team in the area to pick the caller up.

Giving Gonchgarov a flip-phone, the Taxi Service is called.  He is told to go to the Santa Monica Pier in an hour.

At the Pier, Gonchgarov sits at a bench.  Callen is in a janitor’s uniform, Sam is fishing, Kensi has a baby carriage and Deeks is wearing a poncho and playing a guitar.  Sam nearly hooked a surfer while he was finishing.  Deeks was nearly hooked a few days earlier.  Kensi thinks it was a shame he was thrown back.  He thinks she’s being unkind.

Callen notices a woman approaching Gonchgarov but she’s just taking a selfie.  The Admiral wonders how America went from the Greatest Generation to the Selfie Generation.  Kilbride would rather be tarred and feathered than take a selfie.  Sam thinks tar and feathers stopped being a thing when the railroads were put in.

The young woman hands Gonchgarov her phone.  While the team first thinks she’s making contact, Gonchgarov take her picture and returns the phone.  She shakes his hand and thanks him.  As she walks away, Deeks recognizes her as Zasha Gagarin.  Callen sees her toss her phone and her leather gloves.  She also removes a pair of latex gloves.  Racing to Gonchgarov, Callen wants an ambulance.  Sam realizes Gonchgarov was poisoned.  

Not getting too close, Kensi and Deeks order Gonchgarov not to touch has face with his hands.  As he tries to walk away, Gonchgarov starts to cough.  He collapses and has a seizure.  The team cannot help him.  While Deeks chases Gagarin with Callen and Sam,  Kensi stays with Gonchgarov but Gagarin is in the wind.

A hazmat team takes away a barely breathing Gonchgarov.  Kensi  is going to the hospital so the Russians can’t finish him off.  Carlson arrives.  She’s furious.  NCIS paid $30,000 to Gagarin – Deeks corrects her since it was $38K.  Carlson wants to know why Callen’s lawyer was there but Deeks explains he’s a hyphenate.  She calls him a dumbass, which entertains Callen and Sam.  With the only member of the Russian flight crew willing to cooperate released to NCIS and now nearly dead, Carlson is not a happy DOJ Agent.  Carlson wonders how Gagarin escaped unless Callen was working for Russia.

When Sam suggests Gonchgarov could pull through, Carlson asks if he got a medical degree with his gym membership.  That gets a laugh out of Callen and Deeks.  Carlson wants to bring Gagarin in but with her connection to the Russian consulate, Carlson will be drowning in red tape.  With Gagarin on the run, the DOJ should let NCIS find her so Carlson will finally get her real Russian Agent.  She wants to work with NCIS on this.  Callen agrees as long as the DOJ stops following him.  Carlson assures them all, the DOJ is not tailing Callen.

In Ops, Fatima asks if there has been any signs of Gagarin.  Kilbride thinks she’s having dinner at the Russian Embassy in Mexico City.  Gonchgarov is in a coma.  Kilbride thinks the plan could not have gone much worse.  Fatima, who is on her way to stake out the Russian Consulate, apologizes for things going off the rails.  The Admiral thinks there are those you win and those you curse.  He wishes her a good night.

An arriving Kensi sees Sam and Deeks packing up their things in the bullpen.  Callen is off to check on Arkady.  Arkady put Zasha on the team’s radar.  Kensi wants to go home but Deeks tells her they have a date.  She really isn’t interested but Deeks tells her if she wanted to stay home she shouldn’t have pimped him out to Kirkin.  Sam announces he’s leaving.  Kirkin needed a quid pro quo.

In his studio, Deeks is wearing Kirkin’s ridiculous fashion as Kirkin gleefully takes some pictures.  Kensi is brought a bottle of champagne.  Kensi is getting a little smashed.

As she walk into her hideout, Gagarin is grabbed from behind by Callen wearing a dark hoodie.  Callen tells her killing Gonchgarov was never part of the plan.  If Gagarin didn’t kill him, someone else would have.  Callen should have been warned but Gagarin said then they both would have been killed.  She diluted the poison as much as she could but it had to look real.  She apologizes – she tried.  Gagarin doesn’t know where the Russians would send her but she’s expecting to be sent somewhere.  Callen threatens to kill Gagarin if she double crosses him.

What head canon can be formed from here:  The end is a mess because if memory serves – and that’s why I do this – I don’t think Zasha is even mentioned again.  

Fatima apologizes too much to the men in charge for things that aren’t her fault.  It wasn’t her fault Callen left without telling anyone where he was going and it wasn’t her fault that the case went sideways but she sure as hell apologized to both Sam (for Callen) and the Admiral (for the case).

The Kirkin stuff is sadder when you know how it ends.

Episode number:  This is episode 11 of season 12.  Episode 273 overall.

V.I.L.E Headcanons

- Graham “Crackle” Calloway grew up in the poorer slims of Sydnee Australia where his parents struggled on a day to day basis to provide food for their 4 kids, Graham, being the oldest son felt the absolute need to help his parents provide for his three younger siblings. Doubling down in school, and getting the best grades he could (B’s and low A’s) and then diving into work as soon as he got out. -Graham started with small odd jobs until he got a part time gig with a rather cranky old electrician who had no love for anyone in his life. But he took Graham on as an apprentice because the stupid kid wouldn’t leave him alone. To his chagrin, the kid took to the job like a house on fire. This became important when he joine V.I.L.E -Tigress came from a troubled home to say the least. Her mom was an alcoholic and her dad was a blue-collared working class man who would gamble and chase after his dreams while squandering all the families money She resented her parents for these reasons and acted out as much as she possibly could, whether by robbing small stores or beating up younger kids on the play ground

-She started out trying to make a quick buck to help her momma pay the bills, not because she was showing kindness to her mom, but because the land lord had threatened to kick them out one too many times, and kept making lewd comments and suggestions that even Tigress would not allow her mother to take.

-El Topo’s story isn’t the happiest, seeing as his mother moved into America when he was very young, unable to afford to bring her husband and son with her at the time. Of course, El Topo’s father was not keen on being left behind and took his 12 year old son, attempting to smuggle him into America. Sadly, this would not end well seeing as El Topo’s father was shot and killed, and he was placed in foster care, unable to contact his mother.

-El Topo got out of the Foster care system when he was 18 and was homeless for a long time. He lived on the streets in Georgia, the last place his mom was having known working. He did everything he could to find his mom and was devastated to learn that his mother had moved to New York, remarried and had a daughter.

-Le Chevre’s mother died giving birth to him in Paris, France. His father being left alone to raise their one and only son, they had married young and had a baby younger, leaving the young father devastated and entirely loving of his young son. Le Chevre’s young life was full of music and love. His father worked as a caretaker in a French Theater, working up with the lights and the set pieces.    -Young Le Chevre wasn’t as fascinated with the acting as he was with being high up and above the actors, it gave him a feeling of power and meaning while his father proposed that he take lessons to play instruments for the plays. HE did for about a week to please his hard working father, but took the gold star in thievery. To this day he still leaves large amounts of money on his’s father’s doorsteps as thanks for such a wonderful upbriging.

-Dash Harber grew up with a love of fashion and the stylistic life of the rich and famous. His parents, both very wealthy and distant from him, showered their son with gifts and money for doing nothing but existing. His parents ended up sending him away at the age of 15 (At his request) to his aunt “Cookie Booker” so that he could have a better, proper upbringing. 

-Through his ‘Aunt Cookie’, he met the Dear Countess Cleo, who he took a major liking to the Countess, having a childhood crush on her. Cleo found the young gentlemen quiet endearing and took him under her wing, giving him the life he had know that he’d desired at a very young age. This came to bit him in the but when he started working for V.I.L.E. His parent identifying him during a caper and he had to go into hiding for quite a while. (His parents minds were wiped after this incident, as far as they are concerned now, they never had kids).

-Paperstar’s mother was a prostitute in Japan, and gave birth to her from an unknown father. Paperstar was devoted to her mother, even if she was not devoted to her daughter. She was usually there when her mother brought a man home, covering her ears when ever, what her mother called ‘Business work’, started.

-Young Paperstar started stealing from the men who her mother brought home when she was seven, doing this for many years before one man noticed and turned both Paperstar and her mother into the police. This enraged her mother and she disowned Paperstar, leaving the girl alone and vengeful, only wanting to look out for herself. (She might have killed her mom too, I’m still thinking on that one)

-Mimebomb was born in Ireland with their twin brother. When they were young their parents moved them to France. This is where they saw their first ever Mime, their mother had stopped at a shop and 3 year old Mimebomb had wandered off and stopped to watched a man with paint on his face act on a street corner. They realized they were lost and the Mime just... Scooped them up to help them find their mom and twin brother. This REALLY enforced in them that Mimes weren’t scary or freaky. (Their WHOLE family disagrees to this to this day)

-Spoiler, Mimebomb grew obsessed with Mimes and this really worried their parents. They sent him to a Psychologist, one Professor Maelstrom who was doing freelance work. Maelstrom found the phenomena rather interesting and kept track of Mimebomb for a very long time, it was Maelstrom who brought Mimebomb to V.I.L.E and showed them what their true calling was.

-Boris and Vlad.... I don’t have much for them but what I do have is rather... Boris and Vlad grew up in a very unwelcoming community. Russia at the time was very hostile towards outsiders and while their parents (They are not related, family friends in my eyes) had both of them in Russia, they were still not well accepted by their community, often bullied and beaten bloody by other kids, who forced them to clean up the mess after they finished beating them.

-This horrible childhood instilled a rather off form of PTSD and OCD in both of them that leads them to see every mess that a V.I.L.E operative made was something they had to clean up. Somehow, it was their fault and they had to fix and clean and pretend nothing ever happened.

-Cookie Booker is the Aunt of Dash Haber, she ADORES her Nephew and spoiled him rotten when he was a child, basically taking him in when he asked her too. She took great care to raise him the best she could, never having been able to have children herself, an event that let to her husband leaving her and marrying another woman.

-Cookie was also the woman who introduced Countess Cleo to Professor Maelstorm, a very monumental occasion in V.I.L.E history.

-Neal the Eel was just Neal as a kid. His mom and dad were performers in a Circus, a Magician and his Assistant. He used to adore the circus and wanted to be part of it as a contortionist/escape artist. He was bullied for his hypermobility ( similar to double-jointedness, but if it is progressively more serious it can create more problems for someone.) Causing him to end up resenting his upbringing and parents.

When Neal was 16 he began to break IN to prisons and then BREAK BACK OUT with a TON of the criminals inside. This quickly put him on V.I.L.E’s radar and they decided that they really wanted to recruit him. They made the offer and he vowed that he would never be seen as a joke like he was with the circus.

-MooseBoy was not the brightest kid in school, often picked on for being slow or stupid when he was really just a friendly kid with dyslexia. He almost flunked out of school and would have if not for this dorky looking kid who called himself “Otter”. Thus, a tense and rather abusive friendship formed.

-Otterman was the only reason that Mooseboy was able to graduate Highschool. They were a team, he was the brains (Still is) and Mooseboy the brawn (Still is). HE hated the fact that he was smaller and weaker and really took it out on his partner. Their first crime together was breaking into the school and stealing the principal’s desk on a dare.

-Spinkick and his half sister Flytrap have the same father, and different mothers. Their father lived a double life with his paramours only six miles from one and other. This affair was discovered by their moms and the two women ended up murdering their children’s father and then (unironically) falling in love with each other.

-Flytrap and Spinkick’s mothers moved in and the two kids were forced to get along, they ended up really caring about each other and watching each other’s backs and defending each other in school. Their mother’s never got caught by the way, just think about that.

-The Troll never had friends as a kid and met all his good good friends online, including Player (Plot twist?). Player and Troll got along like peanut butter and jelly, becoming a tag team in learning to hack and work with the internet system. The Troll became invested in trying to figure out how to lock down security systems like banks or Jail facilities (Seeing as his father was put in jail for robbing a back and killing a man who tried to stop him).

-This took Player aback and he began to back away from his friendship with The Troll. This didn’t matter to The Troll, he managed to shut down the security system where his father was being kept. This ends sadly due to the fact that his father doesn’t escape, but ends up dying in the break out. This caused him to draw back from people and remain in his room for a very long time.

Thanks for reading my ramble about V.I.L.E Operatives, I’ll be posting one for the Faculty soon!

Little List of Haikyuu Fanfics on AO3 [iwaoi edition]

To Be First, To be Best - chanyeol

iwaoi

Hajime is apparently something of a masochist, and as he stares down at the tie-dyed AREA51 T-shirt in his hands, he thinks “I’m totally in love with this asshole, aren't I?”

iwa realizing he is in love with oikawa. little angst but dear god why u so dense iwa-chan

words: 26,404 (1/1) 

The PDA Jar - orphan_account

iwaoi

“What is that thing for?”

“I’m glad you asked, captain. This… is the Public Display of Affection jar. Or PDA jar for short.”

“Now whenever you do something that may hurt our children’s innocence, you’ll have to put money in the jar as a punishment."

all fluff and protect kindaichi at all costs/ why are u 2 so dense. so adorable and oikawa and iwa not even not even realizing how in love they are with each other

words:10,480 (1/1)

The Great Photo Race - reginagalaxia

iwaoi

Oikawa realizes that he doesn't have a single terrible photo of Iwaizumi on his phone, and challenges the volleyball team to get the worst photo possible in a week.

tooth-rotting fluff we deserve/ iwa is too hot for his own good  

words: 

right person, wrong time (and how long it took for the time to be right) - bbkutosan

iwaoi

“If the first person you loved was standing in front of you, what would you say to them?”

Or: Iwaizumi finds himself being interviewed by two YouTubers and realizes that for some reason, Oikawa Tooru has changed his life far too many times.

mic guy and camera guy are some real mvps. they figure it out though. very proud of iwaoi. 

words: 5,070 (1/1)

inside, this place is warm & outside, it starts to pour - enisle

iwaoi

#1 - inside, this place is warm

But still. Texting Iwaizumi to come over shouldn't be terrifying—none of the things he's been doing with Iwaizumi for the past two weeks should be terrifying. And yet here he is, so overwhelmed with the knowledge that while he and Iwaizumi have always done everything together, there were superlatives they never dared to acknowledge, and being together in every sense of the word entailed an everything that was much more vast, much more limitless.

Oikawa is still trying to deal with the intricacies that come with dating your best friend.

words: 6,557 (1/1)

#2 - outside, it starts to pour

Or maybe, just maybe, it was simply Oikawa—the boy who cleaves the air with a swing of his arm and the friend who eats half of his lunch and the lover who makes him feel invincible and weightless and weak all at once.

Iwaizumi loves him. Iwaizumi loves him and it’s terrifying how that love consumes him just so.

Iwaizumi has had many firsts with Oikawa, but what's one more?

honestly pure fluff, deserved fluff dear good i love this. happy fluff, for a good day or a mood lifter

words: 9,906 (1/1)

I’m Cupid Stupid - OIKAWAHAJIME13

Oikawa Tooru (aka Cupid) and Iwaizumi Hajime (his loving husband) are tasked with getting four couples together this February. Needless to say, things do not always go to plan in the game of love.

they are married and this is so soft and sweet. It just makes my heart warm up at the thought. 

words: 8,737 (5/5)

From Your Mortal Enemy (with Love) - duskglow

He takes a step closer to Iwaizumi and says, “You’re going to have to pry this gym away from my cold, dead hands if you really want it, Iwa-chan.”

Iwaizumi leans in and grins without any humor. “Bring it on, Pretty Boy.”

Or, five-ish times that Oikawa Tooru has the grave misfortune of encountering the very annoying hot asshole of a baseball captain.

baseball player iwa is amazing and i love how slow kawa can be during this. 100% worth it. I love them. 

words: 11,272 (1/1) 

Blood Runs Blue - flourishstars 

“He’s got a gun!”

Oikawa freezes. He doesn’t want to turn his head for the fear of what he might see, but he does. As he turns his head, his heart nearly stops.

A group of people stand at the door, with masks covering their faces. Oikawa’s eyes trail down, and his heart rate quickens as he realizes that they’re all carrying guns.

Oikawa has never feared for his life, but fuck, he does right now.

(Or, publicist Oikawa Tooru assists a jaded detective in solving a case, but they’re up against the clock, because time is running out.)

ugh just *chef’s kiss*. stuppendous, flawless, oh i loved this. It’s a bit violent so be wary. Definitely check the tags. 

words: 27,623 (12/12) 

I Choose You - TripsH

There's a tiny clock on his wrist, bright red numbers. It's supposed to tick, supposed to move, supposed to tell him when he'll meet his soulmate. The time will run to zero when they've met, moving numbers will become stationary—the ticking that signified uncertainty transforming to the silent stability of forever.

Iwaizumi Hajime's clock hasn't ticked for as long as he can remember.

Honestly this is a bit angsty (okay maybe more than a bit) but it is honestly very worth it. It’s a really nice soulmate au and it’s fun watching them grow. Though you might want to yell at them a bit to actually talk. 

words: 9,315 (1/1)

The Lifespan of Asters - russianpotatofarm

20 Theme Challenge day 2: reading quietly “What do you need?” Hajime asks. The patient’s eyes light up. A little, anyway. He looks like he doesn’t have much left in him, and if he does, it’s either caffeine or heavy drugs. “Great! So, what does glioblastoma mean, anyway?” or, "god damn i never should have gone to med school," a novel by iwaizumi hajime (forward by yachi hitoka)

Okay so this does end with a Major Character Death so if that is not your thing don’t read it. It is very well written and I honestly had to stop and cry in my pillow for a bit. 

words: 7,813 (1/1) 

Shatter the Heavens - papaya_oyl 

“Hey Iwa-chan, do you know the legend that if you die, you become a star? Your soul flies to the sky and there’s a place for you to stay. Everyone has their own spot that's been reserved for them since the moment they’re born, and the galaxy extends to hold every single person. You stay up there to watch over everyone else forever.” Oikawa turned his head and looked into Iwaizumi’s eyes. “I bet there’s someone up there watching us right now.”

Oikawa and Iwaizumi have moved to Tokyo together for university, and are living their lives playing volleyball, and spending almost all of their waking moments together. Everything is perfect. Until it isn’t, and when everything starts to fall apart, it’s up to Iwaizumi to fix what is broken.

Iwaizumi gazed into the eyes that shone with tears, seeing the galaxies that sparkled in those beautiful chocolate orbs.

“Make it go away, Iwa-chan. Please, make the pain go away.”

The stars weep and cry. The heavens destroy and ruin.

I won’t lie about this, I began crying about a 1/4 of the way through this. This HURTS so so so much but it is written incredibly. Iwa and Oikawa’s relationship is so wonderfully built and I’ll say it the end kills you for more than the reason you think it should. (Does have a Major Character Death.)

words: 30,390 (1/1) 

Time - kylar 

"Time takes. Time corrupts. Time destroys. Time is greedy and ruthless and uncaring. It rips through your life and takes everything you’ve ever cared about. It ruins everything it touches. It doesn’t care about love, it doesn’t care about promises. It mocks, it taunts, it teases us with promises it has no intention of keeping. It wrecks havoc, and even if you can see it coming, you can’t stop it. Time is pain. So don’t tell me time will heal my wounds. Time gave me these wounds."

Alright this is written in a different way but it’s incredible. And yes I bawled like a baby. Though it might be because of the Major Character Death. But yes an amazing read and 100% worth the tears. 

words: 4,973 (1/1) 

How Iwaizumi Hajime Got A Boyfriend - beemother 

Maybe, just maybe, that hot pink dildo wasn't the worst gift.

or Iwaizumi finally tells his best friend that he loves him.

This is my shameless self plug. Yes it’s the iwaoi fic I wrote. 

words: 2,998 (1/1)
