WHERE WAS MIKEY BERZATTO? SEASON 3 THE BEAR. AFTER FISHES

Seriously, where did he go?

When they were towing his mom's car out of the house?

When the medics came for his mom

[gingergofastboatsmojito]

Do we have a solution Donna whatever your middle name is Berzatto?

IMO, WE DO.

OK, so my HC/prediction/wish is that DD will have the opportunity to pay back the HUGE Karmic debt she has with Carmy next season when Cicero either:

Goes to jail for money laundering or something shady like that, because there's no way that all those packages that keep coming to The Bear or all those shipments that Mickey and Richie used to drop off for him are legit.

Dies (my favest option) → and here's why.

Or goes bankrupt because he can't cover his shorts (the ones he's not even supposed to have and that would put the IRS all over his shady ass).

So my theory is that back in S2 (6 years prior to the present day on the show) when Lee offered Donna a real state business deal, the piece of shit building in Wilmette with like 7 cracks in the foundation, she said she didn't need it at first, he said it was a good idea:

And eventually she ended up accepting the deal and now, 6 years later that deal must have paid off and she probably has a lot of money in the bank that will come really handy when Cicero can't fund the restaurant anymore, for whatever reason. Take a pick from the list above or come up with new reasons, IDC.

So, Donna will end up saving The Bear, and as Better Call Lee said, EVERYBODY WINS, because let's not forget this show is not about money, it's not like it's Succession. The Bear is about family and love and all the shittiness and redemption that comes with that, so when Donna in a very OOC move, completely unexpected, saves The Bear, THAT WOULD BE THE PERFECT CHANCE FOR HER TO MEND THE BROKEN RELATIONSHIP WITH HER SON, now that she's apparently clean.

And Carmy, who wouldn't accept money from his mother in a million years, in any other situation, would in this case because if that's the only way to save Syd's restaurant The Bear, he would swallow his pride.

So, as Lee said: Everybody wins.

I'm pretty sure this is not completely out there... It's plausible given where all those characters are currently standing after S3.

Let's see. Whatever works for Sydcarmy, I'll take it.

Bonus track: Once The Bear is safe, Donna and Carmy are on good terms, Sydcarmy gets a star and or a JB award, I'm assuming that by then C won't be an issue anymore, I don't see any obstacle for Sydcarmy to FINALLY HAPPEN if it hasn't already by then, that is. If it's not perfect, it doesn't go out, remember? Well... Remember to follow my tag #Gingerpovs

I congratulate you upon the general Success Col. Lawrence's [John Laurens] negotiations at Versailles. I should be exceedingly happy to find all our negotiations succeed as well. Yet the gentleman has been calumniated in one of the English papers in a gross manner. His real character has been denied in the face of Europe, and he has been held up in a very inferior one. They have been told that he is deficient in experience and abilities; and that therefore congress supplied this deficiency, by putting him under the patronage of Mr. Payne [Thomas Paine]. From this scandal he has not wanted a vindication. He will need none in our country.

Laurens was infamous in Europe for his terrible diplomat skills to say the least.

hey bestie. i was wondering if you knew how court records were made. bc i know today we have shorthand keyboards for that purpose, so i figured they had to have some form of writing down what was said in court fast enough to get everything written down accurately. i was specifically thinking of the Lee trial, if that helps. thanks a bunch ily /p 🫶🫶

Pretty similarly to what we have today, although it was moreso usually three clerks who wrote everything down. In average colonial life, County Clerk's were established to assist in the operation of the county court. The clerk kept track of cases heard by the court, issued writs and warrants, and recorded documents that were required by law to be filed with the county court. County clerks were appointed by the governor for indefinite terms during the colonial period. And they were appointed by the county justices under the 1776 Constitution, after 1790, they were appointed by the county court judges for a term of good behavior.

But in the military - where there wasn't a professional court setting in place - proceedings were written by those who were assigned to. More about court martials here. Records like original proceedings can often be found in orderly books or journals. [x] Although oftentimes records could be copied and altered with bias, like the Varick transcription. Copied by Richard Varick, they were copies of papers created during the American Revolution in Washington's hold. And he could sometimes dramatize things. Especially surrounding Lee's court martial and conduct on the battlefield with several contrasting descriptions. As Lender and Stone write;

The transcript of the court-martial of Major General Charles Lee is the best single source of information on the Battle of Monmouth. Used carefully and coor-dinated with other contemporary sources, the court-martial record has allowed us to present a coherent account of the fi ghting on the morning of 28 June 1778. There are several versions of the transcript, however, each with some minor differences. We have used a pri-vately printed version—Proceedings of a Court-Martial . . . for the Trial of Major-General Lee—from 1864, a reprint of the original that appears complete in all respects and is readily available to scholars.

Mikey Berzatto x female!Reader fic

Mikey Berzatto x female!reader

Warnings: fluff, a lot of angst, lots of cursing

Authors note: I’m on season 3 of the bear and absolutely love it! But I’m basing this fic off of ep 6 of season 2 (the Christmas party) so I hope you enjoy! Some of the dialogue is from this specific scene and some I made up! I’m mixing the two!!FYI this scene happened I’m just mixing up my own dialogue and some of the real dialogue. Lmk what else yall wanna see! I’m open to literally anything! 🤗

It was Christmas Day, usually when you think of Christmas you think of happy times and good memories with the people you love. In the crazy Berzatto household you were not getting any of that.

“I need to go get a drink” said Donna as she got up to go the kitchen. The Berzatto’s mother was obviously drunk and had been smoking more cigarettes than anyone could count.

You were anxiously sitting next to Mikey holding his hand at the table while all of his family was yelling at him and Lee to calm down.

“Lee, no one wants you here! Just leave man!” said Mikey mad at how Lee was acting in his childhood home.

“No I’m not leaving! I’m going to sit here in enjoy this meal that your mother made.” Lee said smugly.

Cicero (unc) sighed and said, “Both of you have some respect, D cooked up a big meal for all of us and I wish for once that we chill the fuck out and eat.”

Lee looked at Mikey at said, “Yeah Mike! Do what your Unc says!”

Mikey picked up a fork. Lee looked at him and said, “Throw the fuckin fork! Throw it!” I dare you to!”

Carmy said, “Lee you’re not helping thanks!” In an assertive voice trying to get things to calm down.

Mikey pretended to throw the fork at Lee and laughed, “You fuckin pussy you flinched! Look at you!”

Cicero was yelling, “Michael!” “Michael!” “Can we not pretend to fuckin throw forks at people ?” He was of course on Michael’s side but he didn’t want the dinner to get already crazier than it had gotten. In fact, everyone at that table hated Lee but wanted to calm Mike down before he got out of control.

Mikey infuriated said, “It’s my father’s house I can throw as many fuckin forks as I want to Unc!

Lee turned his head and said, “Throw the fuckin fork! You’re nothing. You’re nothing, You’re nothing!” He kept saying it over and over and you could just feel his body tense up.

You gave Lee the dirtiest look ever and turned your head to Mikey. “Baby, it’s ok look at me.” He didn’t look at you once, all he did was just squeeze your hand tighter. You could tell something extremely bad was about to happen.

You looked at Carmy and Sugar and tried to get them to help, they both nodded and tried their hardest. “Hey Mikey! Mike. I love you.” said Sugar.

His siblings more than anybody understood that Mikey can go from 0-100 super quickly so when they see that he’s irritated they try to calm him down in situations like this.

Carm was trying to get him to calm down as well, “Hey Mike. Chill out man.” He said in a more calm voice because he could tell yelling wouldn’t help.

Mikey ignoring all of them, looked like he was going to punch Lee in his face. He put one of his hands on his mouth. Almost like an expression where he was trying to hold it together but it was obvious that he wasn’t doing a very good job at it.

All night after not thinking you were going to say anything you said, “Lee, I think we can all tell that things could get much worse so how about someone say the grace and we can all chill out?

Multiple murmurs at the table agreed. “Thank you y/n!” Richie said, happy that someone said something positive for once.

Lee looked at you and said, “Shut up you bitch this isn’t about you.” Everyone looked at you in disbelief but most importantly looked at Mikey to see his reaction. You were the love of his life and if anyone fucked with you they were dead basically. You were so shocked you couldn’t even say anything. Richie looked at Lee and said “What the fuck man?” “Why would you say that to her?”

You felt like it all happened in the blink of an eye. As Mikey let go of your hand he stood up, grabbed the fork, and threw it at Lee. “You fuckin asshole!” “Don’t call her that!” “Ima fuckin kill you!” He yelled at the top of his lungs. Lee also got up and started yelling too. “Get out of this house you lunatic!” “Fuckin addict!” “You don’t do shit with your life!”

Richie, Carmy, and one of the Faks got up and held Mikey back from basically killing Lee and 3 other people were holding back Lee from hitting Mikey.

It was utter chaos, you were so overwhelmed by the whole thing you just sat there in shock. “Y/n, you okay?” Sugar asked and Tiff followed behind her. You just nodded and said thanked her for wondering about you. “Tiff, you should go lay down, you pointed to her pregnant belly. You shouldnt be around all of this noise, girl you should be relaxing!” You said. Tiff laughed, “Yeah well this is what I get for marrying Richie. She smiled, “but I wouldn’t have it any other way. He’s my soulmate.” “Yeah he’s a good guy.” You said and smiled at her. You looked outside to go see if things calmed down out there and apparently it did.

You saw Lee drive away in his car. Good fucking riddance. “Excuse me ladies.” You said as you let yourself out of the room. You opened the door to the front porch and stood near all the guys. They all stopped talking and turned to look at you. “Hey y/n” they said. You looked at Carm and patted him on the back. “Come on guys let’s go in.” Richie said giving you and Mikey some privacy. You mouthed “thank you” to Richie before he closed the door. He mouthed back, “any time”. You smiled before he closed the door.

You stepped closer to the front step where Mikey was sitting. “Mikey?” “You okay baby?” You sat down next to him.

“Im sorry you had to see me like that y/n, you should never feel unsafe when you’re with me and I was yelling and not making the situation better for myself or anyone that was around me.” He looks up, “which I guess was everyone” You smiled back and realized why you fell in love with him. He was always honest and would communicate with you.

And of course he was very handsome.

You loved how unnecessarily apologetic towards you he was. He was so cute when he was around you. He wasn’t being “tough” Mikey, or “loud and obnoxious” Mikey, he was just being who he is around you.

His best self.

“Love” you said as you brought him closer, “Your feelings are incredibly valid. I understand you and I love that you stood up for me.” “I love you.” You said. “I love you as long as I live baby” He said.

You try to keep on a strong face but then you slowly but surely broke down and start crying. Mikey looks over at you, “hey, hey darling. What’s wrong?” You sniffed and crying through words tried to get a coherent sentence out. “I just hate to see you get talked to like that and he called me a bitch.” You cried.

Mikey held you close and rubbed your back. “Please darling none of that affects me as much as you crying does. “Also fuck Lee he can fuckin suck me” “Calling my girl a bitch who the fuck does he think he is.”

Him saying that made you laugh. You laughed and he wiped your tears off your cheek. A true gentleman.

He smiled at you and you laid your head on his shoulder. You put your fingers through his hair and started playing with it.

You looked into his eyes for a long time. He stared into yours. Finally, he pulled your face in close and kissed you. Fak and Carmy stared at the window, “The only person that can get him to calm down and listen.” Carmy said while shaking his head.

Richie looked and saw you guys kissing, “Great and now they’re kissing again.”

“Better than Mike being mad.” Fak said. “True” They all said in unison.

A/n: YALLL OMG I LOWKEY LOVE THE COUPLE LIKE WHAT??? LMK IF YALL WANT A WHOLE SERIES FULL OF THEIR ADVENTURES TOGETHER🙈 pls leave any ideas for my next Mikey fic in the ask questions box💟
