For the oc asks, can I ask

#22 -- do they sleep well at night?

#31 -- do they like receiving gifts? giving gifts? what is their ideal gift?

for Olive and Jean, please? Thanks!

--lestweforget5

hi darling! thank you so much for these!

from this oc ask list - as always, inbox is open for more!

Do they sleep well at night?

All the nervous energy throughout the day when Croz is in England actually knocks Jean out every night and she sleeps soundly, surprisingly. Poor darling is exhausted, waiting for him and waiting on news, worrying about him especially after Bubbles' death 💔

Olive sleeps like dogshit. Depending on where she is, she gets maybe a few hours of sleep a night to keep up with her ruse. I'm excited for the day where she can sleep soundly in one place. Bless her heart 🥺

Do they like receiving gifts? Giving gifts? What is their ideal gift?

Jean loves to recieve gifts. Especially the little ones Croz picks up when he runs errands or the bigger ones on special occasions. She loves giving gifts just as much too!

Olive is more of a giver - she feels like she puts people out when it comes to herself receiving a gift but absolutely adores watching people's faces light up when they love a gift she has given to them. Olive needs to get used to receiving things from the group, especially Dougie 🤭

Can I request ⁶⁾ sour lemon candies for whichever of your girls sparks joy today?

--lestweforget5

(Also, I accidentally unfollowed you momentarily trying to hit the ask button, which is why my main will be showing in your notifications as a new follower. Sigh ... I really wish Tumblr would change the order of buttons...)

Thank you so much for the request darling! Decided this one worked really well for my Jules 🥰

from this prompt list! inbox is open if y’all would like to request any!

It was the fourth blissful day of their honeymoon, and after spending the previous days sequestered in their little lakeside cabin making the most of their privacy, the newlywed Bradys had finally ventured out into town.

It was a tiny place, really nothing more than one main avenue lined with little shops and boutiques, but Juliet was sure nothing could be better than walking arm in arm down a sunny street with her husband, matching gold bands sparkling on their left hands.

She beams as they pass a little candy shop, and John follows her inside without a moment’s hesitation. It’s a tiny, sweet place, brightly colored ribbon candies and delicate chocolates displayed on trays around the shop. Her hand slips from John’s as she moves to inspect a tray of caramels, making small talk with one of the employees standing with a smile behind the counter— a kind-looking lady just a bit older than her mother, who gives her a knowing smile as she mentions they’re on their honeymoon.

“Well, it looks like you’ve picked a good one,” she smiles, nodding to something over her shoulder.

Juliet turns to see John waking over with a bright smile, a small bag of yellow candies clutched in his hand.

“What’s that?” She laughs, accepting the cellophane-wrapped candies as the bag is placed in her hand.

“Just try one.”

With a wry smile, she picks one out, popping the bright yellow treat into her mouth.

“Oh!” She laughs, mouth puckering as the tartness hits. It fades quickly though, leaving a sweet, citrusy tang for her to enjoy.

“It’s—”

“Lemon,” her husband smiles.

Lemon like her mother’s lemon cake, the one she’d beg for every birthday. The same lemon cake they’d had at their reception, decorated with thick cream frosting. She’d tasted it on him each time they had kissed during the party, a tart sweetness dancing on his tongue.

“Thank you, Johnny,” she smiles, “They’re wonderful.”

His reply of “Not as wonderful as you,” has her blushing happily as they leave the store, fingers intertwined.

“Do you want one?” She asks, holding the candies out for him to take before she grabs another for herself.

“I��m alright, honey,” he grins, a gleam in his bright blue eyes. Before she can ask what he’s up to, he dips to capture her lips in a deep kiss, tongue sweeping briefly into her mouth before he pulls away, taking her breath with him.

“They do taste very good though,” he winks, and heat flares in her cheeks as she tries to catch her breath, unable to fight the smile growing on her face.

She gives his hand a squeeze as they begin walking again, and she fights down the butterflies fluttering to life in her belly as she murmurs softly,

“I think I’ve had enough sightseeing for one day, Johnny.”

He catches her meaning instantly, and soon enough they’re both racing back to the car, sun on her face, sweet lemon on her tongue, and John Brady’s hand in hers.

I think Ham would get it though! Once he calmed down. He might have been unconscious or drugged when they stitched up his face but the care for it? With all those nerve endings in the face and not wanting to flinch?

Hello, Nonnie! Thank you for the ask!

Oh, yeah, I definitely think he would get it, too. He'd just be angry that back in the USA of all places, it was still a necessity for her.

The pain must have been horrific, especially since on your cheek, most anything you do would aggravate it. It's almost impossible to always keep your face absolutely still. And you don't want to look weak in front of the Germans, and maybe he would have wanted to put up a front for Gangwer?

hi friend!

“I was just coming back from–”

Benny's face is suddenly serious, the most solemn she’s ever seen him. “What are you doing out here, Ol?”

“Well, I–it’s just…”

send me a 🌹 and I'll give you a line from any WIP!

From the oc ask list, can I please ask for

#7 favorite animal? why?

#25 how good/bad is their hearing? what about their eyesight?

#32 do they have any habits that aren't particularly self-destructive, just maybe odd?

Thank you!

--lestweforget5

Hi friend! Thank you for these- I always love seeing you in my ask box! oc asks 💗 inbox is still open for more

favorite animal? why?

I think it's fairly obvious that Val's favorite animal is Meatball lol. He's more than just Demarco's dog when he arrives at Thorpe Abbotts, and especially after Benny goes down, Meatball becomes a sort of therapy dog for the girls. It doesn't hurt that he enjoys sleepovers in the Red Cross hut more than sleepovers with the boys in the Officers Hut and not just because Val paints his nails Victory Red and calls him the goodest boy (when he's not chewing on Helen's pantyhose).

I had never thought of Jo as much of a pet/animal person, but there is a moment when she considers a dog as practice before her and Rosie have children after the war. She insists he needs practice in taking care of another living thing, and they can't keep borrowing their friends kids for this, so, she suggests a dog.

how good/bad is their hearing? what about their eyesight?

If it wasn't already obvious, neither Jo nor Val misses a beat. Especially when it comes to Ev and Rosie lol. They know all.

do they have any habits that aren't particularly self-destructive, just maybe odd?

Val is very superstitions- we see it with the red bracelets she gifts the boys before their mission to Norway (there will be more of that coming soon) but her biggest habit is that she cleans- repeatedly- when nervous. Until Ev is back on the ground she will scrub the same spot on the counter ten times out of sheer need to keep her mind and hands occupied. This carries on after the war is over, which is something Ev will try, in vain, to break her of now that they're both home and safe.

Jo smokes when she's stressed. She was never a smoker until the war started, and it takes a lot to get her to smoke at all, which we saw when she snagged Pappy's cigarette from him in the last chapter of Love Letters and he says that Rosie would balk at her if he was here (it's hers and Pappy's secret, he won't tell). And he doesn't tell- it's during a particularly rough patch after the war, with their fixer upper home, that he finds her smoking, but more on that later.

For the MOTA Birthday Ask Games, can I please ask

🎁: If you could add one 'missing scene' to episode 1 or 2 of the show, what would it be?

🔄: Is there one thing you wish the show had done differently with any character in episode 1 or 2?

--lestweforget5

Hi honey!!

🎁: I’d love to see how that craps game went when Benny won Meatball 🤭

🔁: Ok so! Bit of a continuation of my last answer lol, Meatball was actually Brady’s dog, and was in Brady’s Crash Wagon for that belly landing! Cmon, MOTA, let us see our darling Brady with the pupper <3

MOTA 1st Birthday Asks!

[hesbuckcompton-baby]

For the ask game you reblogged, can I ask

#7 -- favorite animal? why?

#28 -- how do they show that they care about someone? how do they express that they don't like someone?

#32 -- do they have any habits that aren't particularly self-destructive, just maybe odd?

for whichever of your lovely girls you would especially enjoy screaming about when you read this?

--lestweforget5

thank you, love!! I've decided to go with Kit for this one <3

7. favorite animal? why?

Kit's 100% a dog person. She's giving off a weird vibe 24/7 and honestly, most animals do not like her. Something about dogs and their capacity for unconditional love really appeals to her (she has abandonment issues. that's it)

28. how do they show that they care about someone? how do they express that they don't like someone?

Kit's big on physical touch once she's established a good relationship with someone and feels comfortable. She's always throwing an arm around a crewmate's shoulders or giving Bucky an affectionate shove, and it's incredibly reassuring for her to receive that in return, although she'd never ask for it. It's very easy to know when Kit dislikes you. She's doesn't try to hide it - there are a lot of icy stares and curt dialogue, and if she particularly dislikes you for whatever reason, she's not afraid to get physical. Kit's got a right hook to rival Susie Lamb's, that's for sure

32. do they have any habits that aren't particularly self-destructive, just maybe odd?

Kit is 100% the person who laughs at her own jokes harder than anyone else. She also counts on her fingers because she's a high-school dropout and maths is hard ok??? I think of her as one of those people who's constantly too warm. Everyone else could be wrapped up head to toe, but if she's wearing anything more than a single layer you can trust she'll be sweating buckets

This is not meant as a prod AT ALL, but I was just wondering if the Judy x Rosie Russia fic was still in the works. I remember you talking about it back over the summer, and I'm still looking forward to it, whenever you have the time and energy to work on it.

Very sorry you're having a rough couple of days. I'm recovering from outpatient surgery yesterday myself and in bed thinking MOTA thoughts, so I'm virtually sharing my soft blankets and tea and sending a commiserative hug. ❤️

(I'm not always good at leaving comments, but I'm a long time reader of your MOTA stories and an enjoyer of your MOTA headcanons, especially your Brady ones.)

Hi sweetheart :) I seriously love you for reaching out! I hope that you're recovering well and feeling better! Hang in there okay?? Drink some tea, get some rest, and treat yourself so well!

thanks to @ktredshoes for the tag. This is as good a post for WIP Wednesday as any - just working on a little prompt from @softspeirs from ages ago

rules: share the last line you've written, then tag some people, and have fun.

"We're not going to let you stay unless you brought something to share," Tatty said archly, watching as the rest of the group made themselves comfortable on the picnic blankets. "Does a case of cokes and a pack of cards count?" Blakely asked, holding up the bottles like he thought it would win him favors. "Jim thought we could play a game." "My ma also sent a box of cookies," Douglass added, looking hopefully in Mary's direction, his hand tight around the tin. "Shortbread - like my grandma used to make."

Hi darling!

Meatball’s ears perk up as they near the lobby, and Benny pulls him to a halt just inside the hallway as a voice reaches his ears.

“Don’t sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me,

anyone else but me,

anyone else but me…”

for every "🌹" received in my inbox i'll post one random sentence of a random WIP i'm currently writing
