Chloe stumbled into the house, making her way towards the couch. She could already hear the lecture her boyfriend was going to give her. She just didn’t know if it would be about her drinking again, or not inviting him to join. Letting out a loud grumble, she fell onto the couch, hearing footsteps close by. “It was only one drink, I promise,” she called out, clearly lying.

For someone so wholly grumpy, Jack had a hard time minding his own business. As he swung a leg over his bike only to hear someone shout 'are you serious', the man immediately paused and turned his entire torso toward the commotion. At a table in front of the cafe next to his gym, Jack saw a flustered woman walking away from a drink-soaked man. He didn't know either of them and didn't want to read into it, but the man was getting up and storming towards the girl. Reaching behind himself, he grabbed his spare helmet and held it out to her. "Incoming angry guy. Need a lift?" If she said no, then at least he could smack the guy on the head with it if he tried to grab this young woman that clearly wanted nothing to do with him.

@aprilwritcs ♡’d for a holiday one-liner.

“You have ten seconds to explain to me why there’s a video of you with some random ass old dude in a parking lot.”

It was Christmas Eve and they had gotten into a fight. It felt like an unspoken end to their unspoken relationship right then. For once, Luke was looking forward to that train ride home if it meant getting far from this guilty feeling weighing him down. He fucked up - again - and it was clear that Calia had grown tired of it. They were supposed to be having dinner, exchanging gifts, taking in the city before he left to visit his family… and then he sabotaged himself like he did so often and ruined the evening. 

But Luke couldn’t run and hide this time. He couldn’t brush it off with a bottle of Scotch and pretend he was fine. Just as Calia was leaving, the lights suddenly turned off. All power shut down in his apartment, including the elevator that led down to the lobby. A blackout. The snow outside relentlessly came down, and even if Calia wanted to take on the daunting flights of stairs down, there was nowhere to go. They were stuck in his place, stuck with nothing but each other. Luke distracted himself momentarily by lighting a fire, already feeling the chill set in the air. “You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me,” he mumbled, checking his phone after getting the fire going. He was going to miss his train home. He looked at Calia and couldn’t find the words. Happy fuckin’ holidays, he thought.

god, she hated hospitals. she hadn’t been this bad in awhile, and she hated that her boss had called the ambulance when she’d passed out. if he hadn’t, julia wouldn’t be sitting here, with the doctor telling her that they had to keep her on ivs until she regained her strength. she hadn’t realized that her eating had gotten sporadic; it wasn’t the same as it was in college, this time, it truly was just because she’d had such a busy schedule. she’d been working seventeen hour days for awhile now, working hard for a promotion, and it was only when she’d woken up staring at a white tile ceiling that she realized how unhealthy she’d been living lately. “bet you’re getting sick of seeing me here. can’t help it, best jello in the city,” julia joked, laughing weakly as the handsome nurse stepped in to check on her. @aprilwritcs​

Brennan had been all over the globe. The amount of stamps her passport held despite not even being thirty was an accomplishment that few people could claim to have achieved. Brennan was proud of that. No matter how often she came back home, it was never for long, and she liked it that way. There wasn’t much to keep her tied here, nothing but a job that she treated like a swinging door and a man who knew her better than anyone else.

That man, of course, meant much more to her than she’d let on. Brennan adored J.D., and he was the only person in the world that she’d let herself develop any kind of feelings for. The feelings were stronger and deeper than either of them could really comprehend, especially when the woman continued to leave, time and time again. Coming home was one thing. Coming home to J.D. was an entirely different one. 

Brennan opened the door to the book shop, knowing full well that she shouldn’t even bother. Every time she left town, she made sure to prepare herself for the fact that this might be the time that the one and only Jason Dean Monroe found someone new. Or someone old. Anyone, really, it didn’t matter where or how, but he was going to find the woman that deserved him one of these days and Brennan knew she’d come crawling back to their hometown with no stake in the game. It didn’t matter how much he said all the beautiful things he did, Brennan knew it would happen one day, and she always tried to prepare herself for that day to be today. Looking up at the man behind the counter, Brennan smiled as he helped check someone out. It was always so interesting to her, to watch him interact with people when he didn’t know she was looking. She saw him for every beautiful thing he was, and she felt more and more like a tornado slamming into his world. “Hey stranger,” she said with a tenderness in her voice that only J.D. could stir up, stepping aside to let the customer pass by her to the door. “Long time no see.”

closed starter ft. lorenzo + kimona

tagging: @aprilwritcs

how did lorenzo find himself in a room with divorce attorney’s with kimona? with the love of his life? maybe he shouldn’t have been such a hopeless romantic back in the day. love is dead. especially for him. still, it’s hard to sit across the table with divorce paper’s waiting to be sign. right now, he was barely listening to their attorney’s speaking. his life with kimona was flashing through his mind as he grips onto his pen. years of laughter and affection will be gone the minute he signs those papers. months ago, he hope that the pair could overcome their problems. but now months later, his feelings on the matter has change.

broken out of his reminisce of the past, he looks across the table at kimona. he heard his name come from her lips as he raises a eyebrow, “yes? what did you want to say?” judging from her tone, maybe it’s best that their attorneys don’t hear. “can you guys give us a few minutes alone?” he watches the attorneys grab their belongings before heading out the door. “alright. we are alone. what’s going on, kimona? getting cold feet?” he teases as he remembers saying those exact words before their wedding. he clears his throat as he shakes his head, “terrible joke. sorry. but seriously, what did you want to tell me?” he won’t deny that he is a tad bit curious on what could be going through her mind right now. for the last few months, it was hard to look at her, let alone speak to each other.

"Yeah, really. Or what, youre gonna fight me, hm?" Davina challenged with a smirk, turning around under his arm and finding Eddie smiling when they faced again. "See, you like it." She teased him as she threw her arms over his shoulders. "Such a pitty you gotta work tomorrow, babe, meanwhile I'll have the bed all for myself."

.

Eddie let out a small laugh. “We both know I could easily take you,” he teased, watching as she turned under his arm. Once they were facing each other, he put his arms around her waist. “Planning on staying in bed all day? So productive,” the male said in a playful tone, pressing a kiss to Davina’s forehead.

Cora had been settling into her apartment, finally feeling like she was no longer frazzled with every twist and turn in her life. She had spent a long time organizing all her belongings, letting her apartment be her living space and her work-from-home studio all the same without her sewing machine, thread, fabrics, and needles being in the way. One of her favorite things about living in this complex was Leo, her landlord. It's not that they talked all the time, but after she got to know him after calling him several times in the span of a few weeks she found him to be cute, charming, and interesting - she had even tried to flirt, to put her best foot forward, but to no avail. She saw the man in the hallway one day, saying hi and continuing to walk past but she knew what she wanted to do. She had just turned the corner when she acted on a moment of courage, turning back and quickly going back towards Leo. "Hey, Leo! Wait up!" She started, going over to him. "Do you have a minute?"

To be original, I’m going to say that 2021 was fucking hard. My general and mental health have not been at their bests and while none of it is better as we start 2022, at least they are not worst. 

One thing that was hard during 2021 was how little I was able to write, something that stripped me of my favorite hobby. I’ve attempted more than one comeback on here but none sticked, at least until now. When I came back a few weeks ago, I was lucky to find old and new partners. The threads that I have, and the ones that we are plotting are making me excited to write again. A big thank you to all of you!

@blueciel : Le ciel est bleu, la mer est calme, ferme ta gueule pis rame! Apparently we met on here two years ago and honestly, you’re the reason I keep going at first. We’ve had too many ( and yet not enough ) threads and put our idiots through a lot. We’ve both been on and off over here, but you can always come to me with anything!

@hand0fgod : It was luck that made me find you and I’m so glad for that! You rip my heart out and I don’t want it to stop. I scream at everyone of your replies and I can’t wait to see where our characters will go.

@justliikeanimals : I’m ready to die for Adrian and Catalina. I will go to far for them if needed. I absolutely love how all of yours characters are in the same universe and it’s something that makes me want to write with all of your characters!

@aprilwritcs : There’s one plot that I’ve been craving for over 2 years now and yet, Aydin never found it before now. Ophelia is perfect and I’m already so in love with both of them. Hopefully we’ll get more of our characters together in 2022, but just for Aydin and Ophelia, I’m grateful to have found you.

There are many others that I follower, some with whom we only just started threads or plan to and others that I’ve been admiring from afar and hope to eventually get a chance to write with.

Nora's eyebrows drew together with surprise, "No nicknames? I still got princess from my family and Tink or Tinkerbell at school... though I'm not really sure people meant it in the nice way until my actual friends were using it and refused to let me take it any way but positively." She didn't say it right then and there, but she'd have a nickname for Rhys if he stuck around. Nora was always giving people nicknames. Her smile grew with his and she sipped her drink when he took the lead. That relieved her from making a total fool of herself. Though she was young, Nora truly loved her job. Too often people thought she was doing it to waste time until she got a 'real job' like nursing or some other medical job. A part of her was nervous that Rhys might think the same when he had one of those 'real' jobs. "Do you love it though, being a lawyer?"

Her pale blue eyes met his before she giggled nervously into her cup, absolutely trying to think of her non-mortifying hobbies to tell the attractive stranger. "Well, I've always loved dancing, hiking, anything outdoors. So I'm always trying something new with that. This summer I learned to paddle-board , but I'm still too much of a chicken to try to surf." Nora's love of nature was her godfather's doing. "I've been trying to learn Spanish and I like to do puzzles upside down. You solve it, glue it, and flip it over, then hope for the best. I want to try to do it with one of those giant puzzles that takes up a whole kitchen table but that seems like more than a one person gig."

While Sunny was enjoying himself at the art museum and not to mention Rennata’s company, he felt a little out of his element.  There wasn’t an artistic bone in his body and the only artists he could truly recognize by name or style were comic book artists he grew up admiring.  Still he was compelled by everything Rennata had to say about about each piece.  

“I have to admit something,” he says with a laugh as they finally approach a set of sculptures.  “I don’t know a single thing about art-- I just really wanted to impress you by inviting you here.”

It was Daniel’s first day being stationed in Germany. He was tired as hell and jet lagged, but it wasn’t like he was going to miss leg day. Instead of turning in for the night, he changed his clothes and made his way over to the gym, ready for his workout. After a quick warm-up, he went straight towards the weights, picking up the weighted plates he needed. He quickly noticed the woman doing bench presses, since there weren’t that many people in the sports facility at this late hour. Daniel waited for her to place the barbell back into place before speaking, “Hey. Need me to spot you?”

Holding a sewing needle between her teeth, her delicate fingers pulled at the fabric on her roommate, tailoring it to fit her better. She took the needle and began to thread it through until the girl before her let out a small shriek. “I told you to stop moving so much!” Erin defended herself for the needle grazing against her skin. She finished piecing the fabric together and took a step back to look at her creation. Of course Erin was grateful for her roommate practically always being her test subject, but Erin was lost in being an absolute perfectionist. “There... Look how great that looks!” Erin moved to get her camera, just another thing she forced her roommate to participate in, and then spoke up to her. “Look... Just a few more pictures and then I swear we’ll get out of this messy apartment for the night and go have some fun. Besides, look, you’re already dressed to go out.”
