ive just been editing wusyaname posts for this weekend and when i tell u im hooked on the plot all over again oh my GODDDDD

[miz-chase]

🍉 🍑 🍋!

🍉 Do you prefer to write short fics or long fics? Multichaptered works or single ones? Why?

I tend to write in the 1.5-3k range because it's long enough to Do Something, but not so long that it consumes me. Usually I struggle with keeping track of multiple stories at the same time, and if my brain has moved on to a different story before I'm done writing the first, it ends up a mess / I get bored

Also I work a job that lets me set my own hours, which means if I'm intensely into a long fic sometimes I sorta.... blow off work. For multiple days at a time. Which can be bad. So again, it's better if I write shorter things. I'm bad at being a grownup.

🍑 If you could make a connection between your favorite character and another work you care about (whether a crossover/fusion or a wonderfully “pretentious” literary reference) what would it be? How would it work?

I'm going to pass over the obvious Jane joins the FBI or B&B get a case in Boston Bones/R&I crossover. Obviously I'd be into that.

Also passing over the Rizzles Gentleman Jack AU. Also too obvious.

So this AU I've been sitting on since before the pandemic, even before I started to get back into crime procedurals, comes from a shuffled mix of NK Jemisen's Broken Earth trilogy, a little hint of Dragon Age (which is just BE with shittier politics lbr), and Meliso Caruso's The Tethered Mage. They all deal with magic as a slave caste under full control by politico-religious authorities. BE & TTM especially deals with the complicated, often hostile 1-on-1 bond between magic users and their Guardian/Falconer controller. Mages are a living tool used by their Guardians to enforce law, solve crimes, whatever. Can you see where this is going?

I'm interested in the tension of Booth and Jane using Brennan and Maura as tool-object-persons. Having authority over them, directing their talents, while also polite-society-pretending the relationship is consensual and equal. Meanwhile Brennan and Maura to a degree don't care / aren't putting up a fight / are happy to have a bond / just want to get out and do the work. They share an arguably autistic-flavored focus on doing their science, such that they care more about doing the work well than they care about the political system they are feeding, and how they are being used. How do you build a functional (or even healthy?) partnership when power is unequally distributed? How do friendly, even flirty, social interactions play out between the controller and the controlled? How do you confront "I love you but I could never free you. It's not safe for you or me."?

I like that it takes an undertone, unaddressed dynamic from the source material and amplifies it to an extreme. It's fucked up and messy and discomforting, that's what makes it fun >:3c

(usually it ends with the controlled escaping and making their own way, which forces the controller to confront their feelings and the system they're upholding and then they fight to support the mage revolution blah blah, you know, high fantasy tropes)

🍋 What’s your favorite spicier trope to write?

I'm gonna go with.... praise kink/praise-based dom. "You can take it." "You're so good for me" etc. Pushing extremes while being affectionate and supportive and maybe a little condescending, rather than hostile or degrading, is fun to play with!

ALSO! Bad sex!! It's fun, its funny, it's real. Let them be messy disasters, let them work through shame and trying too hard to be perfect and the mishaps of life

@missvonivory US

i was watching my girlfriend screenshare nightcore and we did a beautiful dance. this is what true love looks like

[feppepurin]

always loved how everyone here has an understandable reaction to killer robots about to suck out their blood and then there's spy who just looks annoyed that he won't be able to smoke rn 😭😭😭

in fact that's a silly detail i noticed about him , he's so unphased when it comes to stuff like this . getting captured ¿ literally about to be tortured to death ¿ he doesn't look even half as troubled as the gang . obviously after all the spy experience he must've seen some things , and it's not like he never gets emotional when stuff goes south (scout's 12 cubic yards of tom jones merch mishap for example) , but more often than not it's more of a "ah, merde. here we go again." sentiment as opposed to the others going "OH SHIT OH FUCK" . yk

i understand we all love and recognize him as a drama queen which he undoubtedly is , though he's more of a sassy type than a loud pissy one . is this anything ¿ idk i just love overanalyzing everything in these dumb comics . also he is so funny to me

🏹if u have the asteroid eris in aries 🔥☄️🕯️in the 12th house - spiritual warrior 🧿🌟- basically u are literally fighting the spirit world/bad vibes/energy vampires 🧛‍♀️🩸that lurk in the subconscious/ephemeral ✨world

🏹leo ♌️ and prominent 5th house placements: probs have a very psychic link to cats 🐈 i tend to believe that if cats are naturally drawn to you, then ur pineal 👁️ gland is a lot more open 🧿and reflective to energies beyond the physical plane 👽🛸no shade to dogs/dog lovers ( i love dogs 🐕) but dogs are def more root 🌲🏕️chakra animals :)

🏹if u have the moon 🌝 cancer or neptune 🌌in the 3rd house, people with lunar 🌛🌜or neptunian qualities will often without knowing it tell you something you need to hear 👂: like an intuitive 🪬knowing. for ex: my friend is a cancer moon, rising and i have cancer in my 3rd house..whenever she says something that comes from her higher self (like she's reading tarot) 🃏🎴i take note because it often comes into fruition 🍒🍉🍓🍊🍋later.

🏹if u want to have great seggs 🥵♨️🌶️may I recommend hookin up when the moon is in a fire sign 🔥or earth 🌲sign ? (air 🌬️is all about mental 🧠stimulation, so it’s not rly going to bring seggsy energy and water 💧 is self contained and can get lost in emotions 😩so it’s better to be alone during a water moon (maybe scorpio ♏️ maybe..but could get toxic 😬🙈real fast)

🏹people trash 🗑️🚮 8th house synastry and i get it..it can turn super super toxic ☠️real quick (obsession, jealousy, possessiveness blah blah) but if u crave and desire 🍆this kinda passionate ❤️‍🔥exchange, 8th house could be a hot synastry aspect for y’all. not to mention it’s the house of SEGGS 🍆🍑so u will def def have RLY great sex with whoever lands in ur 8th house. like eat me up, lick u all over, go several rounds kinda passion ❤️‍🔥

🏹hear me out y’all: i kno traditional 🥱synastry puts earth+water 🌲💧together and fire+air 🌬️🔥together but I think in particular capricorn ♑️ placements are better off with air 🌬️signs; why ? because we’re an extremely cerebral 🧠earth sign. we're sandwiched between sagittarius (the higher mind/scholar/teacher) and aquarius (THE intellectual mastermind) it’s no wonder we always seem to attract air signs…🌬️🌬️🌬️

or is it just me lol ? 😪🤓

🏹be careful during a mars ❤️‍🔥🔥🥵transit in ur chart- for example: let’s say u have mars in the 5th house and it’s leo ♌️ season (leo rules the 5th house) u will unknowingly attract aggressive 😡🤬😤confrontational people. basically they’re karmic peeps who come back to fight u 🤺🧯take them as you will (my strategy is always detachment) also this could attract overtly sexual ❤️‍🔥🍆🌶️energy as well- like peeps be hollering at u all day long 😮‍💨 (also peep the sign as well..if it’s in pisces, they can lash out at you by acting like a victim 😭or do the blame game)

🏹on the other hand when venus 🥰😘😍is transiting ur chart, be god dang thankful cus ur literally attracting pleasure 💘💌👩🏻‍❤️‍💋‍👨🏼abundance in the house it’s transiting - i mean sometimes that could be not so chill if it’s in a not so fun house but every house has its good/bad. let's say you have venus in the 11th house -then u will attract lots o’ cute af friendships 👯‍♀️👯👯‍♂️community support 🧞‍♀️🧞🧞‍♂️and help in ur hopes+dreams- check the sign as well to see what kinda friends, community support you’ll attract- if it’s in leo, it will be creative 🎨👩‍🎨👩🏼‍🎤artistic, flashy and beautiful 💄👸🤴peeps. venus in the most layman terms is the things you love, so when it’s being aspected, suddenly there will be an abundance of the things you love 💕

🏹astrologer robert glasscock 🙏 says that the angular houses (1, 4, 7, 10) are ur present, cadent is ur (3, 6, 9, 12) past and succèdent (2, 5, 8, 11) is ur future. if this is true and u believe in timeline jumping ⚛️⚗️- try to understand ur planetary placements in the succèdent houses and how that future 🔮could unfold.

for ex: say you have mostly fire🔥 and air 🌬️placements in those houses/this lifetime might be about embracing more of ur masculine 💪energy/take action. also dependent on the signs and planets- i have the moon in 5th in virgo (subconscious creativity) 🎨👩🏼‍🎤🎸🎷venus in 11th in pisces: creativity and expressing this creativity as a mode of healing ❤️‍🩹 is v impt to me.

🏹also a great way to really tap into what ur soul calling is is to look at ur venus 💘and moon 🌝sign placements/aspects: think of it: ur moon is ur emotional 🥹 comfort, it’s what u are naturally gifted 🎁🧧at and venus is what you love 🥰it's honestly the easiest way to see what could bring us the greatest joy 😎🥳🤸‍♀️🎆when fully acknowledged and understood.

🏹i have a theory that u start to meet more people 🧍‍♀️🧍🏻🧍‍♂️who embody ur progressed chart. it's like they’re secret teachers 👩‍🏫 that teach u how they express being that sign: for ex; say u were a venus in pisces ♓️ and now ur progressed is venus in aries ♈️ u will start to meet more aries placements: this shows you the parts of u that u might need to shed 🥲in order to progress more in life. it doesn’t mean u aren’t a venus in pisces anymore just that some of the traits of this placement has to transform 🐛🦋so u can basically “progress” in ur soul 🌌journey ..does this make sense ?

🏹i believe masculine ♀︎♂︎♀︎♁ energies ⚛️embody their mars+sun ✿✿✿signs more and feminine energies ⚛️embody their moon+venus signs more. what do y'all think ? maybe jupiter for masculine 🔥as well and ❤️‍🔥lilith for feminine.

🏹fire signs🔥🔥🔥- how many of y’all have a fireplace 🏕️at ur place lol

🏹people who have virgo ♍️ libra ♎️ and scorpio ♏️ placements prominently in their chart : chefs kiss 🤌 y'all are the bombshell 👸💋💄🥰personified: u are both the maiden, goddess and femme fatale 😎

🏹saturn 🪐 influenced signs- (capricorn, aquarius) have the most beautiful bone 🦴🩻😇🤤structure- like no joke, y'all look like greek statues. 🗿🗽

🏹if u wanna embody ur bad bitch 💋🌶️❤️‍🔥💄💃energy: channel ur lilith placement: what sign and what house is it in and what aspects is it making. for ex: lilith in pisces ♓️in the 8th house 💀⚰️🪦aspecting saturn 🪐: u get into ur bad bitch era ❤️‍🔥when u become a spiritual warrior 🗡️✊that becomes a channel for others to transform ⛓️🔗their old constructs of sex+death 🍆⚰️and money 💰

🏹virgo placements have the best style 👗👚👖👙🥻👘🥼🩱fight me on this 🤺

🏹if the benefic 😎👏🍀🌞🕶️planets are transiting ur 12th house, u best believe ur angel 👼 guides are watching over u- expect lots and lots of synchronicities 🕍🌻🍄🐚divine timing ⏱️ and unexpected abundance 🤘🎉🍦

that's all 🌞🍀🌞🍀🌞🍀🌞🍀🌞 i hope y'all enjoyed and got some fruitful 🍒🍑🍉insights 🧘‍♀️🧿🪬👁️🔮

happy virgo full moon y'all (iz my moon sign 🌝🌚🎑

🍋 Lemon Boys 🍋

Sparked from the Season 2 poster of Sebastian wearing Augur uniform and the idea that Sebastian might move in with Styx. I like the idea of him staying with Styx and feeling safe because of Styx's magic.

Key, latch, door. *Thud* Bag.floor.

As Seb dropped his bag he could feel the floor rushing to meet him, but two hands grabbed him first.

"Hey hey" then more gently, edged in concern "Bas?"

The Irish lilt brought his mind back from blankness, as he realised he was only half standing, propped up by Styx. Eyes closed, arms lead-heavy at his side. Seb didn't even attempt to move, what's the point he'd probably just end up on the hallway floor.

"mmfine"

Seb went to move away but as soon as his head lost contact Styx's shoulder, he lost contact with reality. A single hand guided him back, the other hadn't let go of his jacket. 'I should take that off' Sebastian thought vaguely.

"Like hell you are! you're dead on your feet! Whatd they make you do today?"

No answer, but Styx could feel Sebastian grimace against his shoulder and his own jaw tighten in response.

"Yea yea NDA blah blah. Come on let's get this off ya"

Styx started helping Sebastian roll the Augur jacket off his shoulders. The jacket bit was easy, swapping out Seb's shirt? That was harder, it relied on Seb being able to stand unaided and right now that seemed alot to ask.

"mmjust" Seb paused waiting for his breath to catch up "mmjust tired"

"Yeah, and I'm just old. Whydya have to and sign the flamin contract anyway ya eejit?"

No response. Not that Styx had really expected one. Just as he hadn't been expecting the new bruises making a patchwork of new and old across Seb's torso. It's hard to believe there was even space for new ones.

"Easy. Easy does it." Styx could have cursed the person responsible... would have if he knew who... or even where. Instead he settled for hissing through his teeth.

"Mmmfinedontworry" it came out more slurred than Seb had intended.

Does it count as slurring words if you sigh them all together? The thought floated through Seb's mind, as he sounded about as coherent as the rest of his world. Styx pulled an oversized shirt on to Seb ignoring his tired attempts at reassurance.

"You gonna sleep tonight?" Styx half asked, half instructed.

"You ever feel you've outlived your usefulness? Like maybe on the ship I ..."

"Fuck off with that right now."

"I just mean, sometimes feel like yea I survived ... but was I meant to? I feel like now I'm in a timeline that doesn't want me ... you know?"

"What I know is that you're here and that there's no use tryna guess what the 'universe' - or whatever - thinks of that."

Silence.

"Come on you'll feel better after you've slept." Styx threw a pillow at Seb.

Sleep. The word itself seemed to have a soporific effect on Seb and he felt his eyes welling up at the thought of being able to go to sleep.

"Look ya don't have to sleep in the bedroom, I was gonna watch something - if I can get the feckin screen to work - you can join if ya want."

Seb crumbled into corner of the sofa mumbling something about 'wards' and 'staying up' as sleep took over.

"Yeah, yeah, don't ya worry about that. I'll stay up and keep em goin" though Styx wasn't entirely sure whether Sebastian heard. Throwing a blanket over Seb, Styx glanced at the TV screen

"Yeah. No. Fuck that piece of shite."

He pulled a book from the stack on the coffee table and settled in to 'keep watch'. What did missing one night's sleep matter, he had forever to catch up anyway.

Cold as Ice - Part 2

Billy Russo x Reader

A/N: Based on the song by Foreigner, but a really chill female singer/acoustic version of it I heard on my travels and which I now can’t find anywhere 😒

Summary: Set in my Punisher S1 AU, it does not follow canon. Billy Russo has one cold little heart, and you find this out to your cost. But will Fate allow you to turn the tables on him? Angsty, zesty 🍋 and fluff mixture.

Warnings: 18+ NSFW due to sexual content, including unprotected, between consenting adults* in some chapters. Drinking and swearing.

*Irl, please use protection, let’s be careful out there.

(My photo edit)

I've seen it before, it happens all the time

You're closing the door, you leave the world behind

You're digging for gold, you're throwing away

A fortune in feelings, but someday you'll pay

»»————————————-———-　⚜　———————————-————-««

He turned on his heel and left, slamming your door behind him.

You picked up a bottle of shower gel and threw it with all your strength at the door. It banged off it and dropped with a thud onto the floor, and you sincerely hoped that Russo had heard it crashing against the door as he’d walked away.

Luckily, the bottle had remained intact as that would’ve been a complete pain to clean up.

He was so infuriating! Walking into your apartment and asking if you were seeing Glenn! The complete brazen cheek of him. You didn’t know what you’d ever seen in him. Then you had to laugh at yourself…. well, of course you knew what the attraction had been. The air of danger about him, his mischievous nature, his handsome face, his tall athletic frame, his undoubted skills in bed, the size of his….

Enough of that! you admonished yourself, beginning to sort through the pile of clothes and toiletries he’d returned to you. You were going to launder them as soon as possible - you didn’t want any residual scent of Russo remaining on them. And as for that Anvil t-shirt of his you used to sleep in, you’d probably be best putting that in the trash. But then you realised that he hadn’t even included it. The mean pig! you thought, he knew you liked that t-shirt. In that moment of outrage, you chose to ignore the fact that you’d just thought about throwing it out.

You bundled all the clothes into the washing machine. Luckily there were no whites in there and you could wash them all together. Slamming the door shut, you added the detergent liquid and set it going on a program.

Good riddance to Russo! you thought.

On Monday, Karen grabbed you for lunch and grinning, began to tell you what Frank had said when she’d filled him in on the current situation between you and Billy.

“He went ballistic!” she crowed, “Totally freaked. He was so mad at him! He was gonna call him right then but I persuaded him not to. Thought it might be better if he calmed down first.” She ate a mouthful of food, chewing thoughtfully. “He’s gonna speak to him about it today. Wouldn’t like to be on the receiving end of that little chat, I tell ya.” She paused before she took another mouthful, “He just couldn’t understand why he’d done it. Said he’d seemed more loved up than he’d ever seen him before so it just made no sense.”

You shrugged, “Look, I really appreciate that Frank’s all fired up on my behalf, but it’s not gonna change anything. Russo’s made up his mind - he was bored, got complacent, the grass was greener, commitment issues, blah blah blah - whatever the reason was, he’s decided he didn’t want to be with me any longer and that’s that. I know him - he’s the most stubborn sonuvabitch I’ve ever met, he’ll never change his mind once it’s made up. And I don’t want him back anyhow.”

Karen cocked her head, looking at you over her forkful of pasta, “Honestly? You don’t?” You stared right back at her, “No, I don’t.” She smiled, “So if he walked in here right now, prostrated himself on the ground in front of you and swore undying love, you’d tell him to do one?” You swirled up a big forkful of your own pasta, “Yup. I would, I swear to you I would.” She kept smiling, “Okay… whatever you say.”

You knew she didn’t believe you. “I mean it, Karen. How could I ever trust him again knowing he’s pulled a stunt like this on me? And he might not have gone home with her that night, but who knows what he’s been getting up to since? - either with her or whoever else.” You shook your head and shovelled the pasta into your mouth, “Nope, I just wouldn’t go there,” you said while chewing.

And you meant it, you really did.

»»————————————-———-　⚜　———————————-————-««

Your date with Glenn was okay, you reflected as you made your way to the subway. But it kind of reminded you why you hadn’t made much of an effort to keep in touch. He’d been very focussed on his career at that point, and it seemed that nothing much had changed. It was all he’d talked about.

He was a nice guy, he really was - but he just didn’t light your fire. Not like… No!! not going there, remember?

So you’d suggested that you meet up for coffee sometime to catch up again, and had been grateful when he hadn’t either argued or tried to suggest an actual further date. You didn’t think he really wanted to date, to be honest - he was a workaholic from the sound of it so it probably didn’t fit in with his plans.

But even if there was no future in it, it had still been nice to be treated like a queen for the evening. After the way Billy had behaved, it was reassuring that you were considered worth wining and dining.

A car flashed past you and while you only caught a fleeting glimpse of it as it disappeared into the distance, you could’ve sworn… no, really, that would be too much. And you were sure that Billy wasn’t invested enough to be stalking you.

Was he?

»»————————————-———-　⚜　———————————-————-««

You mentioned the two possible sightings of his car to Karen the next day. She looked thoughtful, then said after a few moments, “You know that’s something that can happen in domestic abuse cases.” “Oh, no,” you said quickly, “nothing like that ever happened with him.” She nodded, saying, “Just hear me out,” before continuing, “The guy in the relationship is more than likely a control freak and is usually a cheater himself, but can’t stand it if there’s an outside chance his partner is seeing someone else. So even though they might’ve split up, he’ll stalk her to confirm if she is or not. This could be a version of what Billy might be up to. He finished it but now can’t deal with the thought that you’d get with someone else.”

“Mmmm,” you mused, “it could be the case. He’s got a huge ego.” “Yes, but you know that beneath all that bravado, he’s very insecure. Due mainly to his upbringing.” You nodded, “Yes, I know that had a much bigger impact on him than he ever let on.” “Well, I’m gonna ask Frank to see if he can find out something on the down-low.” You laughed, “Is Frank even capable of doing anything on the down-low?!” Karen joined in your laughter, “I can see how those two don’t necessarily go together but believe me, Frank can do subtle when he wants to.” “Ooh can he, indeed?” you smirked, and she slapped your hand lightly, “Enough of that,” she smirked back.

“But the more I think about it,” you continued, “let’s lay out the facts. Billy likes to be in control. He’s egocentric but is insecure. He used to be a sniper and now he owns his own security firm, who offer surveillance as part of their services.” You thought for a moment or two, “But I’m still not sure he’s invested enough to care. He was pretty indifferent to me those last few days in the run-up to his restaurant stunt.”

“I still think the pros outweigh the cons,” commented Karen, “and we’ll see what Frank can find out.”

»»————————————-———-　⚜　———————————-————-««

You found yourself out on another date that Friday night. A guy from the news desk had somehow found out you were single again and had asked you out.

Once again, he didn’t exactly rock your world but hey, he was an okay guy and a date’s a date when it comes down to it. It was better than moping at home with a bottle of alcohol and a bucket of ice cream, watching some Netflix show you’d probably already seen.

But this time, you were provided with irrefutable evidence that Billy was following you. His sleek Rolls Royce Wraith was blatantly parked right opposite the restaurant and you spotted it as you were saying goodnight to your workmate. There didn’t appear to be anyone in it, and as you walked along you found yourself glancing nervously at the buildings round about you in case Billy was perched on top of one them, sniper rifle in hand.

You rushed down the subway steps and at least felt marginally safer down there.

»»————————————-———-　⚜　———————————-————-««

“Yeah, Frank says he’s definitely tailing you,” confirmed Karen on Monday morning while you both made yourselves a coffee in the staff kitchen. “How did he find out?” you questioned her, anxious in case Billy would now suspect you knew about it. Although parking his car right across from the restaurant you were in was hardly trying to be invisible, and you said as much to Karen.

“Oh yeah, I don’t think he’s worried if you know or not,” she nodded, “Frank had mentioned your name and then pushed his buttons about you dating again. He said Billy’s face looked like thunder when he said that, and so Frank then said he hoped he wasn’t doing anything crazy like stalking you. Billy instantly tried to act casual and said that he wasn’t, but Frank can tell when he’s lying. And he was definitely lying.”

“Well, he’s a trained sniper so he’s not making any effort at all to stay out of sight. I mean, this is all just getting crazier by the minute! He’s the one who finished with me, for fuck’s sake!” Another colleague walked into the kitchen at that point and gave you a look, so you mouthed “Sorry” and gestured for Karen to follow you back to your desk.

Once you were both seated there, you continued, “I really don’t know what to do… it’s got to stop. And I don’t want it to get to the stage where I have to get a restraining order. Not that they’re worth the paper they’re written on. But you know what I mean.”

Karen looked a bit uncertain then replied, “How about you text him? Tell him to stop.” “And you think that’s likely to stop Billy Russo?” you said, glumly, “You know how stubborn he is.” “Well, it’s worth a try, and also it’s documenting the steps you’ve taken to get him to cease and desist.” “To use as evidence when he’s tried for shooting me dead from a rooftop?” you said, amused. She pulled a face at you, and you said, “Okay, okay… I really don’t think it would come to that but that’d be his preferred m.o., let’s face it.” “Just try it… he might surprise you.”

That evening at home, you took a big slug of your G&T and picked up your phone. Typing in Billy’s number from memory (you were somewhat ashamed to admit), you then set out a polite request to Billy to stop following you around, avoiding the word ‘stalking’ in case it was a bit too much. Hitting send, you sat back and wondered what his response would be.

Ting! You grabbed your phone and opened the message app, before laughing out loud. Billy had typed, “Who is this? You’ve got the wrong number.” Oh funny, very funny, you thought, copying your message to him to the word. Cheeky big devil. You typed a reply, “You know who it is. And just stop the tracking, okay?”

No reply this time, which didn’t surprise you in the least.

Lying in bed later that night, you thought to yourself, what next? Do I try and video him if he turns up wherever I am?

Your phone chimed, and you sat up to see who was messaging you so late. As if you couldn’t guess.

“No.” That’s all it said.

Then 2 seconds later, “Sleep well.”

Your stomach lurched and you looked over at your window - yes, your blinds were closed. Huh, just a good guess on his part then that you’d been trying to get to sleep.

But it had still given you chills for a second.

Everywhere you went now, you felt like you were being watched but you told yourself that this was the power of suggestion and also the product of your overactive imagination.

Telling Karen the latest instalment at lunch the next day, she was really irritated with Billy’s response. “Really? That’s what he said? Exactly what you’d said to him and then just “No” and telling you to sleep well?” She shook her head and sipped at her smoothie, “He’s a manipulative jerk! Well, the next thing you do is try and get some shots of him following you.” “Yup, I’d reckoned that would be my next move. I did tell you he wouldn’t give up but I guess it was worth a try like you said.”

Walking to the subway after work, you caught a fleeting glimpse of Russo ducking out of sight up ahead of you. He was totally doing that on purpose because if he was surveilling you for real, you just wouldn’t see him. So he was trying to get under your skin. I won’t let him! you promised yourself but still didn’t feel entirely comfortable during the rest of your journey.

The next few days followed pretty much the same pattern. Billy disappearing out of sight round a corner, his car speeding past you. Didn’t the guy have a day job any more? He seemed to spending all his time stalking you.

You were genuinely beginning to wonder if you should call the cops.

You’d decided to have lunch out one day as the sun was shining and there was a nice gentle breeze. Buying a sub from your favourite deli, you headed to the park and sat yourself down on an empty bench, unwrapping it and taking a healthy bite.

Then you spotted Billy on a parallel path to the one you were on. A rage took hold of you, this was just too much! You leapt up, sandwich in hand and took off running towards him. Bumping into several people as you rocketed along the path and then down over the grassy section between you and Billy.

He’d of course spotted you heading towards him like an angel of vengeance and melted into the trees next to the path he was on. By the time you reached where he’d been, he was nowhere in sight.

“Billy!!!!” you screeched, “This stops! Right now!”

Apart from an elderly lady walking her dog, who looked at you like you were an escaped lunatic and loudly tutted at you, silence was the only response.

Karen looked concerned, “He’s obsessed!” she said, sipping her drink. You two were in a local bar as you’d felt the need for some alcohol after your lunchtime encounter with Billy. “I’m gonna talk to Frank again,” she said, “I really think he needs to have a word.” You shrugged, sucking up some of your cocktail through the straw, “I’m not sure it’ll make any difference, though.” She shook her head, “He’ll listen to Frank,” she maintained, “whereas he’s not paying any attention to you.” She grinned, “Apart from stalking you night and day, of course.”

You grimaced, “I’ve had it with him, Karen, I really have. He’s lost the plot! He finishes with me but I’m the one getting stalked! It should be the other way round, shouldn’t it? I should be the bunny boiler, not him.” She laughed, “Yes, that’s the way the movies generally paint it. But we know that in Billy’s world, he’s lost control of you and is now discovering he doesn’t like it, one bit.”

“Well, he really needs to give it up, he really does,” you muttered, “I swear I’m gonna call the cops otherwise.”

“Let me speak to Frank, I’m sure he’ll be able to help,” Karen said soothingly.

Another Friday night, another date. This time a guy you’d met in your local coffee shop and who’d chatted you up persistently until you’d agreed to meet him for a drink. He was cute but you weren’t sure how it would go and as you didn’t know him, you’d texted Karen the details so she knew where you were.

The date was okay, pretty mediocre to be honest. Another guy who spent the whole evening telling you his life story without asking you one thing about yourself. You believed in an equal exchange of information and that definitely hadn’t happened. So you’d wished him goodbye without any offer of meeting up again and whilst you saw a disappointed look crossing his face, you weren’t going to give in. Another instalment of his life story you could do without.

You headed to the subway, deep in thought about disappointing dates and stalker ex-boyfriends. Really, you should’ve been paying more attention to your surroundings. Hands grabbed your arms and you were thrown through the side door of a small dark van.

Landing with a crash on the hard surface of the interior, you gave a groan and then saw a balaclava-clad face approaching yours.

A cloth was placed over your nose and mouth, you smelt something sharp, chemical, and you began to lose consciousness.

The dark eyes of your kidnapper stared into yours as the darkness closed in rapidly.
