Ned Works Too Hard

An indulgent little scenario only barely recognizant of canon. I just love this wet napkin of a man and want to see people being nice to him. Crozier did not look up from the logbook at the entry of his First Lieutenant into the Great Room that evening. He knew he could always rely on Edward to deliver his daily report on the hour, steady and sure as clockwork.

Had he glanced up from his dotting of I’s, however, he might have spied the Lieutenant clatter his broad shoulder against the door jamb with uncharacteristic clumsiness as he entered. Had he broken himself away from the crossing of T’s, Crozier may have noted too the change in gait, the familiar ice-crunching stomp now an unsteady shuffle across the deck.

“Lieutenant?” Crozier queried amiably enough in greeting, still absorbed in the page before him.

“Sir…?” came the uncertain reply.

Now that was a change Crozier could not help but note. Gone the usual deep, warm burr and in its place a faltering, groggy croak. At the sound, he finally whipped his head up to behold the source and found himself shocked to silence.

First Lieutenant Edward Little looked, quite simply, dead on his feet.

Though the deck beneath him was ice-bound and still, he swayed, punch-drunk, as if in the wildest of storms, trembling uncontrollably in every long burly limb. His handsome face was transparently pale, dark hair utterly dishevelled and hanging over his furrowed brow in a manner that would be rakish and rather dashing on any other day but could not be less so now, stuck as it was to his pallid cheeks in odd little wisps that only rendered him boyish and intensely vulnerable. It was Edward’s eyes, however, by which Crozier found himself struck most. Dark, soft, and doe-ish, they were usually the young man’s finest feature, but they were changed now, wide yet barely focused, dull yet darting wildly in barely suppressed delirium and panic.

“Ned…?” It was Crozier’s turn now to croak in bewilderment and uncertainty.

Little’s dark glassy eyes flitted momentarily to the Captain’s horrified face though in truth he gazed not at Crozier but straight deliriously through him. “I’m… I’m sorry, sir…” he mumbled in an impossibly small and childlike voice before, without warning, his eyes rolled right up to the whites, his knees buckled beneath him, and he collapsed rather unceremoniously to the cold deck with a resounding thud and a flurry of papers.

Crozier was around his desk and on his knees before he even realised he’d moved, had tenderly brushed a great lock of unruly hair from Edward’s brow and reached to loosen the stock at the young man’s pale throat without conscious thought. He did not, in fact, even realise that he had hollered hoarsely for Jopson until the Steward appeared dutifully in the doorway, only to reel back himself in shock at the sight of the Lieutenant on the deck, loose-limbed and splayed out like a string-cut marionette.

“Fetch Dr McDonald please, Thomas.” Crozier instructed, managing to sound calmer than he felt, and watched momentarily as the young Steward took off down the passageway at a sprint before bringing his gaze downward again.

Gently, though not without a little effort to strain against the unconscious dead weight of the well-built man, Crozier lifted the Lieutenant’s tousled head up into his own lap. Edward did not appear to have suffered any grievous injury to Crozier’s eye and his great relief. His breathing was steady, although perhaps a little shallow and ragged, and as the Captain worked under layer upon layer of clothing to finally press his hand to the bare, warm, clammy flesh of Edward’s broad chest, he was relieved further still to feel the pounding of a heartbeat beneath his calloused palm.

Little did not stir an inch at the touch of the cold, rough hand but slumbered on, long dark eyelashes resting ever-so-lightly on ashen cheeks, handsome face as pale and exquisitely fragile as the finest porcelain. But for the faint furrow remaining in his dark brow, he appeared to Crozier almost peaceful in his oblivion. “All will be well, Ned, I’ll see to that…” He found himself muttering, pulling the Lieutenant closer to him in a clumsy embrace, cupping the young man’s pallid face in the palm of his hand, and brushing the odd strand of hair from his soft cheek in a manner he hoped and prayed would be of comfort. He was only roused from his reverie by the arrival of Jopson with the sprightly Scots medico McDonald close behind him.

Little also did not stir an inch as the three men worked to man-handle him off the biting cold of the deck and into the nearest warm bunk which happened to be Crozier’s. He remained firmly in his oblivion even as they hauled him upright, tousled head dropping heavily to his chest, to wrestle him out of his greatcoat and the layers upon woollen layers beneath until finally he lay, rather small and vulnerable all of a sudden, in nothing but his shirttails.

“He’s exhausted, Captain.” McDonald concluded matter-of-factly after his examination a few moments later, retreating out from the berth to the spot in the passageway Crozier had all but worn through with his pacing. “Total and complete enervation. I’m surprised the Lieutenant had the strength left in him even to reach your quarters. I can see no great underlying malady to cause it though, sir-“

“I can.” Interrupted Jopson, raising his head from the heavy ships rota he had collected at Crozier’s request. The Captain had wanted to know just what tasks his First Lieutenant had been undertaking before he was so suddenly cut down.

The answer, it became immediately obvious as Crozier took the book from Jopson and surveyed it himself, was all of them.

Or if not all of the tasks, then damned near close. A heretofore downplayed spate of Goldner-can-induced gut problems had plagued large swathes of Terrors in the preceding week leaving many a man and officer alike stuck groaning and miserable in their hammocks and berths and leaving poor Ned Little to all but tend the ship singlehandedly. With a storm raging and cutting them off from Erebite reinforcements, the rota showed the Lieutenant everywhere alongside the remaining healthy men – high up in the riggings surveying the ice one minute, down in the hold hauling coal the next, and out in the seracs and the biting cold directing hunting parties the next still. Totting up the hours in his head, Crozier could have wept. For days on end it seemed, the Lieutenant had barely had a moment to eat and drink, let alone to catch the slightest wink of sleep.

“The mad bastard even holystoned the damned deck…” Crozier muttered, horror-struck, under his breath.

And the Captain himself had been blind, utterly blind, to the young man’s efforts, too, he realised with another pang of guilt. Too lost in whisky and resentment, morbing on about this and that and failing completely to note the extent of the near ship-wide illness or the duties it would have left undone but for careworn and steady Lieutenant Little’s intervention. Ned had not complained nor seen fit to burden anyone else with his worries, least of all the Captain, as he had delivered his reports in the days preceding. He had simply pressed forward on and on until he could no longer.

Crozier entered the berth and dropped wearily onto the stool beside the bunk, plucking Edward’s warm, lax hand up from the sheet and giving a firm squeeze that he hoped dearly would convey love, respect, regret, and every other thing he couldn’t yet put into words to the worn-out and rather bedraggled young man curled up in the bunk before him. As he did so, he noted the fresh and red-raw scrapes and calluses on Ned’s hands and the dirt and bruises that seemed to mottle every scandalously exposed inch of pale flesh, put there by hard graft and toil.

“I must be alone again with my thoughts for a while, Thomas.” Crozier announced at last. “If you’d be so kind as to fetch me warm water and a rag, I’ll tend the Lieutenant a bit while I think…”

The bright-eyed young steward nodded in assent and departed once more to do as he was bid leaving only McDonald by the doorway, a soft and easy smile on his face.

“I have all manner of stimulants and pick-me-ups to choose from, Captain, but in truth I believe he just needs rest. Clean him up by all means, keep him warm, but most of all, just let the man sleep. I’ll be nearby, sir” he concluded as he shrugged on his greatcoat and made to exit the berth, “if there should be another stramash…”

Edward looked smaller and more vulnerable by the second as Crozier gently daubed the worst of the grime away to reveal the alabaster white flesh beneath. That he had clearly lost weight through his exertions did not help and it showed in every outstanding rib and hollowed clavicle. As the water gradually cooled, he at long last began to stir just a little and broke the Captain’s heart all over again when, eyes screwed shut and brow furrowed, he made a half-hearted attempt to squirm away from the chilly water with a low, pleading groan, every inch of him trembling with exhaustion. He was just conscious enough to feel the momentary discomfort but not conscious enough, and with simply no strength left in him to do anything about it…

After a long and pensive night, the first hints of the Arctic sunrise were just beginning to creep up over the horizon when Ned at long last opened his eyes again. First he scanned the low dark ceiling of the berth with a rather puzzled and querulous scowl but when his bleary gaze finally alighted on Crozier’s expectant face, all changed. At the sight of the Captain, Ned’s dark eyes widened, he lurched drunkenly upright in the bunk, and began to ramble, groggy and clearly agitated.

“I-I-I’m sorry, Captain, I’m the… I’m the worst kind of sorry…! What… w-w-what can I do for you, sir-“

As quickly as it began, the rambling was cut abruptly short as Ned’s trembling arms buckled almost immediately beneath him and he collapsed awkwardly straight back onto the pillow with a heavy whoomph. Crozier pressed a hand firmly to his shoulder to keep him there.

“Be easy, Ned… What you can do for me now is be easy and stay right where you are.”

“A-a-alright, sir… Although… although I-I-I don’t believe I know quite where I am…”

“It matters not, Ned, don’t you worry… Here, take this…” Crozier continued, reaching for the water glass behind him. Bewildered and reluctant though he may have been in the moment, Edward was also as weak as a new-born kitten and so had little choice but to consent the Captain to lift his weary head to help him sip at the cool water.

“Wh-what happened, sir…?” Edward began tentatively. His voice was still hollow and croaky with exhaustion but he was growing more reassuringly lucid by the second. “How did I-I-I get wherever it is I am? I’m… I’m afraid I don’t remember a damned thing after Up Spirits…”

“Well, I do hope you remember the week before that, Edward? The one where you worked yourself damned near to death? Even if you don’t recall fainting flat on your arse in my cabin you must surely remember that…!” Crozier tried to keep the reproachful tone out of his voice as he spoke. He knew he wasn’t angry at Edward, after all, but at himself.

“I do recall now, Captain…” Came the doleful reply. Edward raised a shaking, weary hand to brush a lock of dark hair from his brow with a sigh before he continued. “Forgive me… There just…there just didn’t seem to be a choice. There are so many men ill now, sir, that half the berth has become a sick-bay a-a-and with Erebus cut off from us in the storm…”

With that he trailed off and turned away for a moment, biting his lip, trying and failing to mask the tears welling in his tired and bleary eyes.

“It’s been a long winter, sir… Longer a-a-and lonelier than I ever thought possible…” Again, he faltered and again fell silent with dark brow furrowed and a flush of mortified pink creeping into his cheeks – the first sign of colour Crozier had seen in him for days.

“Go on, Ned… Please… You have nothing to fear. I’ve made myself your nursemaid tonight, I may as well be your confessor too.”

“I’ve never been more bloody miserable in my command, Captain, if it’s a confession you’re after.” At his third attempt, bolstered by Crozier’s words, Edward finally came at the matter plainly. “All I have here a-a-are my instincts and my training and I find my faith in both waning by the day. I’m peevish of the ship, e-e-even more so of the men aboard her. It seems the more I seek to do right by them, the more wrong I do myself… I’ve never… I’ve never felt weaker…sir.”

Crozier thought in silence for a long moment, looking at his own careworn hands before meeting Edward’s expectant gaze, his dark slumberous eyes shining in the lamplight.

“I’ve been in your place, Ned.” He began. “I’ve been in your place, and I know all too well what a lonely and uncertain one it can be. But have you ever stopped to think that what you see as weakness could in fact be your greatest strength?”

“Sir…?”

“I didn’t choose you as my second for you to rule with an iron fist and muscle through things with brute strength, Edward. Quite the opposite, in fact. I chose you for your level head and your tender heart. I chose you because you care about the men under your command, because you seek so earnestly to do right by them, because you would never ask of them something you wouldn’t contemplate doing yourself… It has never been clearer to me, in fact, that you will not shy from doing things yourself, Ned…!” Crozier added with a grin, feeling his heart finally beginning to lighten as the weary young man matched it and gave a surprised and bashful snort of laughter.

“The loneliness, the uncertainty… As hard as it is, Ned, it doesn’t last. Have the same faith in yourself that I have in you, that the men have in you… I would implore you to take courage too, but it is clearer to me now more than ever that you have quite enough already.”

“Thank you, Captain.” Ned murmured, a tear shining softly in his eye. “I… I believe that’s precisely what I needed to hear…”

“Having said all that though, Lieutenant…” Crozier continued – his heart lightened and the way before him clear as he made to rise from the stool and exit the berth, “Your actions did violate several of the Articles and for that there must be consequences…”

“Oh… o-o-of course, sir…” Edward replied resignedly, attempting once more to haul himself up onto his elbows and just about managing to remain there this time, despite the slight tremble in his triceps.

“The punishment for your violations is this: you are to remain confined to your berth for the next week, ideally tucked up and toasty in your bunk. You may summon and speak only to Jopson who may only fetch you more blankets, books from the library, or any fine victual you damn well please from my personal stores…”

Crozier paused momentarily in the doorway of the berth.

“Oh, and whisky, Ned…” He added, allowing the veneer of seriousness to fall from his face and a smile to replace it. “I shall be touching the stuff no longer from this moment on. It is your responsibility, Lieutenant, to consume as much of that as you damn well please too and save your Captain the temptation…!”

Those who did not know Ned Little well could be forgiven for thinking that the young man never smiled. It was true that his natural expression was a rakish and brooding one, that he could often become so intensely focused on, so earnest and resolute in his completion of the task at hand that he verged on severity. It was also true, Crozier knew now more than ever, that such intensity was a mask, a front to hide the anxiety and uncertainty that was part and parcel to being a leader of men. He again recalled the feeling he himself had known as a young Lieutenant, admitted to himself that he still felt it on occasion and none more so than last night.

Ned Little, however, did indeed smile and when he did, Crozier also knew, it was a glorious sight to behold. Beaming and unexpectedly roguish, it changed his whole face, softening every handsomely chiselled line of it to unabashed boyishness, immediately warming his dark slumberous eyes, crinkling the corners sweetly. It lit up his face, then lit up the room, and on this particular morning, Crozier thought to himself as he exited the berth, heralded too by the Lieutenant’s roaring laughter, Ned’s smile outshone the bright Arctic sun itself.

Personality: Fedora Perry can be best defined as “The Dramatic Cute Entertainment" younger sister of Perry. She is very dramatic when she makes dramatic entrances and can very cute while she’s tipping her fedora. She loves tipping her fedora while smiling cutely shaking her fedora with her hands as she’s saying “Helloooooo!”. When she is tipping her fedora, it represents she is very positive and very happy. When she is not on secret missions with her siblings, she is usually hanging with her older brothers, Perry and Groucho Perry. She can be reassuring to her siblings when they are feeling sad and she gives really good advice. While she's on secret missions with her siblings, she's very serious and very determined. She loves spending time with her siblings and she doesn’t like it when she sees them fighting. As Agent FP, she is proud of her abilities as a fedora tipper and wants to prove herself to Perry that she can be a good secret agent for the O.W.C.A. As a dream demon, she gets nervous about making a mistake when using her dream demon powers but she’s always determined to get herself together. Whenever she’s making a deal with someone, her greenish teal hand starts burning with cyan flames. As a siren, she’s really excited to show everybody her singing and feeds on the negativity around her. When she turned evil as the Queen Of Mean out of jealousy with her wielding the staff of the OWCA(a powerful staff that gives a person infinite power and grants them to do anything but can also be used for evil), she was mean and harsh wanting to take over the entire Tri-State-Area for herself only. As LadyFedoraMisFortune, she uses her ability to make people tell the truth and nothing but the truth and to get her hands on the miraculouses.

All-Star Squadron #7

Warning, Spoilers Ahead…

“Carnage For Christmas” by Roy Thomas, Adrian Gonzales, and Jerry Ordway.

The December 22, 1941 edition of the Washington World’s headline states “JSA Disbands”, “Decision Rumored Since Dec. 9 Confirmed”, and “Statement Reveals Eight Current Members Have Enlisted In Armed Services Under Real Names!”

Private Al Pratt (Atom) strolls the streets of Washington DC and bumps into a giant of a man. Al goes his own way as we follow the giant. The giant’s revealed to be Baron Blitzkrieg. The Baron and his henchmen plan to assassinate Winston Churchill, scheduled to visit the United States, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Blitzkrieg first debuted in World’s Finest Comics #246, published in 1977.

Al is suspicious of the rude foreigner but puts them aside as he doesn’t want to be like “the paranoids who’re finding Axis spies under every bed, since Pearl Harbor”.

Al, now dressed in his Atom costume, visits FDR at the White House. FDR asks about the other members of the Justice Society.

“I’m in training to be a tank-corpsman myself, stationed in Virginia but then, you already know that, don’t you, or else Pvt. Al Pratt wouldn’t have gotten a special leave to report here tonight. Hawkman’s a Tyro – a ‘Dodo” I think they call ‘em in the Army Air Force on the west coast while Sandman’s looking forward to handling the 37-mm. anti-aircraft cannon. And Dr. Fate, who’s spanned the gaps between the worlds, will soon be practicing to be a parachute trooper. Though he’s technically blind…in a way…Dr. Mid-Nite’s alter ego has been commissioned a captain in the medical corps. He and his assistant Myra are in the Pacific war zone right not, working on a crash cure for tropical fever. Starman’s other self is in flight training, too…at Fort Randolph, near San Antonio, while Johnny Thunder’s joined the Navy, heaven help it! The Spectre’s keeping busy here at home but the last I heard, even Green Lantern had enlisted! I’m not sure about our other honorary JSA’ers…”

Props to Myra for following Dr. Mid-Nite into the war. That is love and loyalty. If you’ve read Geoff John’s JSA, you know that poor Myra suffers a violent end. Yes, it’s due to her association with Dr. Mid-Nite. People theorize that Charles was gay and if so, I feel sorry for Myra. Charles would have loved her but not in the romantic sense. I feel Myra would have been willing to be his “beard” in the less enlightened times of the mid-20th century. It’s surprising the duo never married – as romantic partners or platonic partners. Neither Charles or Myra married anyone else. Of course, Wesley Dodds and Dian Belmont never married. The Justice Society was filled with individuals rebelling against society’s expectations!

The Flash and Hourman are the members of the JSA not mentioned by the Atom. Unbeknown to the JSA or the Squadron, Hourman is a prisoner of war in Japan but the Flash’s whereabouts are a mystery.

The honorary members are Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, possibly Robin? Ma Hunkel, the original Red Tornado, was later revealed to be an honorary member.

Ma Hunkel wouldn’t have been active. I haven’t read much Golden Age Wonder Woman but I assume Diana was involved with the U.S. army in some capacity given her connection to Steve Trevor and Etta Candy.

Superman wouldn’t join the military as he needs to stay far away from the Spear of Destiny’s influence.

Robin is underage so he wouldn’t be eligible for the military. Batman is a surprise. The rest of the non-superhuman members joined the various military branches but Bruce decided staying home and punching robbers in the face was more important. Maybe he felt he was needed at home to run Wayne Enterprises? Of course, Green Lantern runs his own company, and it didn’t stop him from enlisting.

FDR ushers the Atom into the next room where Hawkgirl, Liberty Belle, Johnny Quick, Robotman, Firebrand II and the Shining Knight are waiting.

Atom questions FDR: “But what about Plastic Man? If it’s old home week, shouldn’t our FBI liaison be here?”

FDR informs the Atom that Plastic Man is “on special assignment, alas…but he sends his regards.”

FDR tells the heroes about a suspected plot to assassinate Winston Churchill. FRD orders the heroes to escort Churchill to the White House.

Hawkgirl, Liberty Belle, and Sir Justin patrol the sky. Liberty hitches a ride on Winged Victory. Hawkgirl complains about the cold. Well, you are the one wearing a bikini top in December.

Firebrand and Johnny Quick patrol the roads. Johnny reveals he’s bought a Christmas gift for Liberty Belle.

Robotman and the Atom are at the piers waiting for Churchill’s ship. Robotman and Atom continue their mutual admiration-inferiority contest. Atom wishes he was built like a tank and Robotman would love to be human.

The ship arrives at the pier but is bombarded by German torpedos. The All-Stars work together to save the ship and crew. They also capture the German U-boat. Baron Blitzkrieg switches out the real Churchill with a robot duplicate during the chaos.

Liberty Belle realizes Churchill isn’t the real one when he doesn’t recognize her despite meeting her months ago. Churchill approaches FDR and explodes! Everything’s okay as FDR was Plastic Man in disguise: “The FBI – and the Secret Service, natch – were afraid something like this might happen so I took his place.”

The All-Stars rescue Churchill but Baron Blitzkrieg escapes.

The issue ends with Churchill and FDR addressing the crowds on Christmas Eve.

An average issue. Most Nazi comic book villains are boring and one-dimensional to me – Red Skull, Baron Blitzkrieg, etc. In real life, Nazis are terrifying and repulsive. In comics, they’re boring. Highlights of the issue were the Libby-Johnny romance and the Atom-Robotman mutual inferiority-admiration society.

#Justice Society #JSA #All-Star Squadron #Atom #Al Pratt #Dr Mid-Nite #Charles McNider #Robotman #Robert Crane #Liberty Belle #Libby Lawrence #Johnny Quick #Baron Blitzkreig #DC Comics #DCU

I’ve got many recs! All the recs you could ever need!

McGillicuddy and Murder’s Pawn Shop - supernatural/fantasy historical fiction. The diary of Melinda Maudie Merkle. She works at simply the most boring job in the world as a typist, and the only excitement in her day comes from visiting an unusual pawn shop. That is, until she finds something there that changes things, changes her.

Featuring: Growing into a new person. A partially wooden man who kills people (his name is Wrath, and he is everything to me, and I need more people to know him). Plans that work out. Finding community. Finding love and choosing to walk away because that’s what’s best. Becoming more than you thought you were capable of. WLW (bi).

It’s also got a very decent backlog with I believe five seasons in total (now complete).

The Antique Shop - supernatural fiction. Maya is a university student in Scotland who finds a job at an old Antique Shop. An Antique Shop, apparently, where people go to find supernatural solutions to supernatural problems or perhaps simply find supernatural problems by purchasing an item from the shop.

Featuring: An aroace main character. Discussions of Fate, free will, and if those are truly opposites. Scottish folklore. A cat names Chronos. Friendship. Strange items. Maya is my beloved. A corruption arc (depending on how you look at it ;))

It is now complete with 50 episodes.

Georgie Romero Is Done For - comedy(?) (it’s not the horror genre or vibe at all but it’s classic, almost cartoony horror creatures plus some romance, some mystery, and some coming of age). Georgie Romero is ... dead. She is a zombie specifically. She finds herself in a community of ghosts, witches, vampires, and more, and she begins to make a life for herself there, taking dance lessons, getting cupcakes from the bakery, and trying to find out how she died.

Featuring: Some downright delightful characters. It’s a fun one. Themes of grief and death as the premise suggests, but overall a very light tone. WLW.

Two seasons currently out.

Russian For Cats - “This is the story of Nadia, a bilingual cat who escapes from a secret lab, and Brian, the Minnesotan who helps her hide from the spies chasing her. It's a tale of friendship and adventure... that also teaches you Russian!“

Featuring: Beloved himbo. Friendship. Light and delightful. Some drama, but I promise it all works out in the end.

Completed with 12 episodes.

Midnight Burger - Science fiction. A time and space traveling diner. A perfect place to sit down when you are in need of a moment of rest and a good cup of coffee. The main cast consists of Caspar (who has been described as an artist in the medium of misery), Ava (a physicist who is smarter than you and won’t hesitate to tell you that), Leif (an overall laid back guy and a ... cook), Gloria (a former restaurant-owner who just wanted a job and ended up in the diner), and Effie & Zebulon Mucklewain (an old timey radio).

Featuring: Friendship. SPACE. Running from an empire run by an army of people named Ted. Learning what exactly happens when you go through the black hole. “WHO THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE??” “We run a diner :)”.

Episodes are ~1 hour and there are currently 23 episodes. Comes out once a month.

ars PARADOXICA - science fiction and historical fiction. "When an experiment in a time much like our own goes horribly awry, Dr. Sally Grissom finds herself stranded in the past and entrenched in the activities of a clandestine branch of the US government. Grissom and her team quickly learn that there's no safety net when toying with the fundamental logic of the universe.”

Featuring: An aroace main character. Very competent ladies of varying moralities. A neat code at the end of every episode. WLW recurring character.

Completed with 35 ~40 minute episodes.

The Hidden People - self-aware urban fantasy, action, comedy. The first season is a mystery as the parents of Mackenna and Thomas Thorne are murdered. Strangely, it sure seems like they were killed by Mack herself, but that can’t be right, can it? The tale evolves into something with changelings and action and stepping sideways into new places and new roles.

Featuring: A vaguely demonic narrator who is JUDGING Mack’s lack of baking skills. Aspec WLW main character. Friendship! Siblings! Folklore and mythology! Buffy references! Great sound design. Self aware sense of humor. Epic character development for the main character.

Currently 3 seasons (~22 40 minute episodes each) are out.

We Fix Space Junk - science fiction comedy. “Seasoned smuggler Kilner and reluctant fugitive Samantha as they travel the galaxy, dodging bullets and meeting strange and wonderful beings as they carry out odd jobs on the fringes of the law. A female-led sci-fi comedy sitcom set in the far future, in a high-tech, dystopian world,”

Featuring: Some beloved AI characters. Weird space things! It’s been a while since I listened, but it is very good and I recommend it.

3 seasons out now plus some mini series.

The Strange Case Of Starship Iris - science fiction. “In 2189, Earth narrowly won a war against extraterrestrials. The Strange Case of Starship Iris is about what comes after. It's a story of outer space, survival, espionage, resistance, identity, friendship, found family, romance, and secrets. (Also, there’s jokes.)“

Featuring: Found family! Crew as family! Jewish liberal arts guy with mafia ties!! Great characters. Greta writing. Aspec and WLW and all other sorts of queer going on.

2 seasons currently out.

quick question to the crowd, anyone have any non-horror podcast recs? preferably female led/wlw also preferably not very short

Saving the Devil (Part Four)

SPOILER WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS FOR SEASON SIX!

Pairing: Thomas Shelby x Reader

Words: 2,518

Warning: Mention of War, Illness, Seziures, Impending Death

Summary: This plays after Episode 4 of Season 6 and before the start of WWII. Tommy got away with the assassination attempt on Mosley and now spies on him and his connections with the Germans on behalf of the Crown.

After handing you some papers about your late husband, Dr Hugo Schmidt, Tommy let you settle into your room and, with that, you began your research on your new identity.

According to the documents which, surprisingly, were provided to Tommy by Winston Churchill himself, Huge Schmidt had been assassinated and, at least officially, his young wife Hannah had disappeared shortly thereafter.

She was not a suspect in Schmidt’s death but was a wanted woman, on the run, after having assisted her husband with his evil experiments.

You were disgusted by this and when you learned that she had been killed as well, you sighed with relief. Regardless of this, portraying and pretending to be a woman like this made you feel ill but, reading the documents alone made you realise that this was for a greater good.

Thomas Shelby was spying on the fascists in England as well as Jack Nelson who was an American politician with fascist tendencies.

After you read through everything you were provided with and memorised the details you needed to know, you went through your closet and picked out a simple gown before joining Tommy for dinner.

***

The dining room was rather spacious and Tommy was sitting there, on his own, without even having touched his food.

‘Do you not eat?’ you asked politely and, when he told you that he wasn’t hungry, you reminded him that eating nutritious food was rather important with his condition.

‘Love, I know that I am going to die. I don’t think that a few serves of vegetables will change that, eh’ he responded with some slight irritation in his voice and you apologised to him for having overstepped the line.

‘Well, I am not hungry either. This is more food than me starved stomach could possibly handle these days. How about we sit down in your office and I tell you about the camps. It is what you want to hear, isn’t it?’ you said bluntly, knowing what his business was with Winston Churchill now.

‘I wasn’t going to ask you about that’ Tommy told you and you had quick chuckle before continuing on.

‘Yes, you were! I am not an idiot’ you told Tommy, causing him to cock an eyebrow at you.

‘Okay Love, I was going to ask you about the camp. But not yet’ he told you, clearly thinking that you needed some time to process everything and settle into your new home first.

‘Well Thomas, I just want to get this over and done with. No doubt, Mr Churchill is keen to hear what I have to say’ you told him and Thomas pushed out his cigarette in the ashtray in front of him before giving you a silent nod.

‘Very well then’ he said with a husky voice and stood up, indicating for you to follow him.

***

As he stood, Tommy reached for the bottle of whiskey on the dining room table and two glasses. You followed him to his office, which is where he sat down, rolled up his sleeves and put on his reading glasses.

He was handsome and you couldn’t help but stare at him for a split second before reminding yourself why you were here and what it was that you needed to do. In addition, you knew that he was not a man you should be falling for as his fate was sealed and you couldn’t lose someone else you loved.

Yet, there was something that intrigued you about this man. He had no fear of death and, clearly, he wanted to redeem himself for whatever it was that was in his past.

Furthermore, what you liked about him was the fact that he wanted to change the world and so did you. He had big ambitions, and so did you. And, once upon a time, he was family man and so were you. You both had lost a lot over the years and despite you being much younger than him, you understood his struggles and his life without him having had to tell you much about it at all.

Death was not what he feared. It was the risk of failure and you knew from speaking to Frances that Tommy had promised his daughter Ruby before she died that he wouldn’t fail her. He was going to make things right.

***

After he got himself ready, Tommy fed some paper into his type writer and handed you a drink.

‘No doubt you will need it Love’ he said as he handed you the glass of whiskey and you nodded before taking a rather large sip from the crystal glass.

‘No doubt I will. Do you have a tissue also please? Because, I will need that too’ you asked and Tommy handed you his clean handkerchief without questioning you.

‘Whenever you are ready Love. Take all the time you need’ he told you with a gentle voice and, with that, you began your story and told him everything from the moment you and your family were captured by the authorities to the moment you sold yourself to the guards in order to make your escape.

You had killed people on the way and you had also saved people at the camp. You became someone who you never wanted to become. The experience changed you and you lost everyone but your daughter.

‘I think that’s enough Love’ Tommy told you after an hour or so while you cried and sobbed into the white piece of cloth which had now been soaked by your tears.

‘But that’s not all, Thomas. I am not done yet’ you told him, trying to tell him more about the experiments the doctors had conducted inside the camps. You then told him about the gas chambers too and, eventually, you couldn’t hold back your feelings any longer.

‘Y/N, it’s enough. We can continue this another day’ Tommy said firmly and when you broke down over his large cedar desk, unable to cope with your emotions, he stood up and walked over towards you.

‘I need to tell you everything. They need to know…they need to stop this…�� you sobbed after beginning to scream which was something that, occasionally, would help you to clear your head.

‘In time Y/N…now is not the time, eh’ Tommy said as he pulled you up into his arms and, without giving it any thought, he pulled you close to his chest and you let him.

Your tears stained the fabric of his shirt and, for some reason, the scent of his skin and aftershave were calming for you down slowly while he tried to comfort you.

‘I am sorry’ you cried, still somewhat hysterical but better than you were just minutes before.

‘It’s alright Love. You did well and, to tell you the truth, I didn’t expect these camps to be like that’ he went on to say as he held you against his chest and when he began to comprehend what you had been going through, he felt ill to his stomach himself.

You endured much more than Tommy had anticipated and the account of your experiences was much worse than what he had expected.

He felt guilty for putting you through this, making you tell him all of those things and causing you to relive the horrors in your head. But he also knew that you could help him prevent England from going through the same fate as Germany and that was good enough for him to keep going.

‘Can we finish this off tomorrow perhaps. I have more to say but I don’t think that I can do it right now Thomas’ you eventually asked as you finally calmed down and Tommy let go of you carefully.

‘Not tomorrow Love. Tomorrow, you will meet my acquaintances and I need you to be prepared’ he told you before providing you with information about Oswald Mosley and Jack Nelson.

‘Two fascists in your house? Now that’s somewhat disturbing, is it not?’ you asked before pouring yourself another glass of whiskey.

‘Sometimes Y/N, you need to make a pact with the devil to prevent the evil, eh’ Tommy then said and, shortly after your conversation concluded, you excused yourself in order to have a relaxing bath and get some rest.

***

Your rest was, however, short lived when you heard a loud bang in the middle of the night and, since you always slept lightly, you jumped out of your bed and ran towards where the noise was coming from.

The sound was drawing you to Tommy’s office again and when you opened the door in a rush, you saw that he was having yet another seizure.

Frances was there, with him, but didn’t know what to do and you asked her to move aside and take away all of the sharp objects around him.

There was already blood on the floor as Tommy was laying on top of a broken whiskey bottle and you knew that he had to be moved until his seizure was over so that he wouldn’t cut himself again.

You kneeled down on the floor, unbothered by the shattered glass penetrating your knees and held onto him gently.

Rolling him to the side carefully, you helped him to rest his head on your lap, the blood from his neck and arm staining your white satin nightgown.

His body was still shaking erratically and his eyes flickered open and closed.

‘The seizures are more frequent now. He is having one every two or three days’ Frances told you and, from that information, you knew that his condition must have worsened over the past few months. Seizures of this kind were part of the end stage of his condition and you feared that the estimation of nine months to live was a generous one.

‘Thomas…’ you eventually said gently as his body stopped shaking and you gently caressed his face in order to help him gain consciousness again.

He took in a deep breath and pressed his cheek into your lap as you continued to comfort him until he was ready to sit up.

‘I am sorry about your nightgown’ was the first thing he said while he was reaching for the packet of cigarettes on the desk behind him and you couldn’t help but roll your eyes.

‘I don’t care about the nightgown Thomas. Once you can stand up, I will need to stitch your arm’ you told him.

‘I don’t need stitches Love. I am fine’ he said in an almost arrogant way.

‘Well, you are having stitches. Any kind of infection could kill you within days and…’ you began to explain but Tommy simply chuckled and interrupted you.

‘So, what if it does, eh? It makes no fucking difference’ Tommy explained and, with that, you dragged him of the floor.

‘Enough with your fucking self-pity. You made me a promise concerning my daughter and you have things to do Tommy. Now get off your ass and let me stitch you up or I swear to god you will regret bringing me into this house’ you said with great anger and his eyes immediately widened.

As instructed by you, he stood up and followed you to the kitchen without speaking a word to you. He simply obeyed and Frances was rather amused by the situation.

‘Sit down’ you then said before finding a bottle of clear alcohol, towels and the first aid kit.

‘You are quite intriguing when you are angry Love’ Tommy then observed and it was obvious to you that he had just regained his cheekiness, which you adored just a little more than you should.

‘I tend to get like this when I men don’t listen to me’ you said as you sat down across from him and began to unbutton his shirt.

You needed to assess his wounds but couldn’t help but take glimpse of his perfect physique at the same time. He featured some chest hair and a few tattoos as well as a perfectly slim but yet muscular body.

‘I better behave then, eh? Or maybe I shouldn’t?’ Tommy teased and you couldn’t help but chuckle before you gently removed the blood-stained shirt from his body.

‘You had a few bullet wounds, haven’t you?’ you observed, running your fingers over his upper body gently before telling him to turn to the side so that you could reach his upper arm more easily.

‘Yes, I had a few bullets in my life. For some reason, I survived them all but illness is what will kill me. How fucking ironic, eh’ Tommy confirmed.

‘That’s life Thomas. It never goes as planned’ you told him just before, without any warning whatsoever, you poured some alcohol onto his wound.

Tommy cringed as you did that and then cringed again when you began to remove the glass from his wound and stitched him up. Overall, however, you were impressed with his high pain threshold and the fact that he sat still for you while you attended to his cuts.

‘All done’ you eventually said and he turned back around to face you and thanked you for aiding him with this.

‘I am a doctor, Thomas. That’s what I do’ you told him before caressing his cheeks and you couldn’t help but draw your face closer towards his.

You longed his gentleness and touch, which was something you had been starved off for far too long. But you also knew that, seeking love and desire from the man in front of you, was a terrible idea.

He comforted you like no one had ever done before and you confided in him that day. It all felt so natural and, when you looked into his deep blue eyes, you let go of your reservations and gently pressed your lips onto his.

His lips were soft and warm and, for a split second or two, Tommy gave into the kiss but then he pulled away suddenly.

‘You know how this is going to end?’ Tommy asked and, of course, you knew. He had nine months left at the most.

‘Yes Tommy, I know’ you gasped and Tommy simply shook his head.

‘So do I Love. I have hurt enough people in my life and I don’t want to hurt anyone else’ he told you while gently caressing your face.

‘Tommy…’ you tried to argue but there was no point. His mind was made up and you knew that he wouldn’t let you in.

‘I am not the man for you Y/N’ he told you before getting up from his seat and retreating to his bedroom.

Angel, Bene Ishim

[Commissioned by @thetygre. Yes, this is an angel, not a devil, demon, tiefling, etc. Although the flavor text in The Avatar’s Handbook stresses their role in acting as spies behind fiendish ranks, both the commissioner and I pinged to the idea that these are a great way to explain the folkloric devil, where the Devil Himself shows up to get wrecked by some country bumpkin, child or Santa Claus. Of course that’s an angel doing PR work! To quote Thomas More, “the proud spirit cannot endure to be mocked”.

The name (but not the concept) appears to be derived from a genuine angel in Jewish traditions, but evidence online is spotty. The Wikipedia entry for ishim doesn’t cite a lot of sources, and the sources cited include the reliably unreliable Rosemary Ellen Guiley. An angel by that name did appear on Supernatural, though, for what it’s worth. I don’t think he had little horns or a high collar.

Edit: I seem to have misplaced the statistics. I was editing this in-frame a while, so maybe tumblr ate them, or maybe I just screwed up.]

Angel, Bene Ishim CR 7 NG Outsider (extraplanar) This figure looks to be the very spitting image of a fiend, with red skin, slick black hair, small horns and a goatee. He smirks evilly and winks, drawing his cape with a flourish.

Although they are sometimes called “fallen angels”, bene ishim are nothing of the sort. Instead, they are angels that assume the guise of fiends in order to either infiltrate their holdings or teach mortals about fiendish weaknesses. Many folkloric tales of devils losing fiddle contests, giving information when having their three golden hairs plucked, or being generally outwitted by children are in fact the work of bene ishim. They tirelessly work in the mortal realm to spread propaganda that evil creatures are untrustworthy, foolish and beatable by common folk. Some even enter regular relationships with a given town or country, appearing at festivals or holidays in order to be “defeated” to raise morale and teach valuable lessons. They delight in appearing to people leaning towards evil deeds, either enticing them to channel their temptation in more productive ways or if that fails, ensuring that their actions are both futile in causing harm and notable enough to result in rehabilitation.

In the lower planes, bene ishim have a second, related mission; to defuse the plans of evil through sabotage and theft. Bene ishim locate powerful evil items to steal, research and destroy, turn members of a fiendish army against each other, and generally attempt to focus the attention of evil on itself rather than on good or the mortal world. Even if they are caught out, their magical powers can force devils or demons to fight their allies instead of the bene ishim. Between this and their ability to blend into shadows, few bene ishim remain in combat long, preferring to slip away while enemies are distracted with each other.

A bene ishim is a shapechanger, able to disguise itself as either a mortal or a fiend as its mission requires. They usually take fiendish forms that fit its overall humanoid size and build, such as bearded devils, hydrodaemons or succubi. Their natural form resembles a tiefling or cambion to sufficient degree that they usually try to pass themselves off as one of these creatures if they know fiends with true seeing (such as erinyes) lie between them and their goal.

Bene Ishim CR 7 XP 3,200 NG Medium outsider (angel, extraplanar, good, shapechanger) Init +8; Senses darkvision 60 ft., low-light vision, Perception +12 Defense AC 21, touch 14, flat-footed 17 (+4 Dex, +7 natural); +4 deflection vs. evil hp 68 (8d10+24) Fort +5, Ref +10, Ref +11; +4 vs. poison, +4 resistance vs. evil DR 5/evil; Immune acid, cold, petrifaction; Resist electricity 10, fire 10; SR 18 Defensive Abilities alter alignment, personal protective aura, shadow blend Offense Speed 30 ft. Melee masterwork trident +12/+7 (1d8+4) or 2 claws +11 (1d4+3) Special Attacks redirect blows, sneak attack +1d6 Spell-like Abilities CL 8th, concentration +11 At will—align weapon, detect evil, detect magic, invisibility (self only) 3/day—greater teleport (self plus 50 lbs. objects only), locate object, obscure object, sending 1/day—confusion (DC 17), crushing despair (DC 17), good hope, plane shift (self only) Statistics Str 17, Dex 19, Con 16, Int 17, Wis 16, Cha 16 Base Atk +8; CMB +11; CMD 25 Feats Alertness, Combat Reflexes, Improved Initiative, Iron Will Skills Bluff +18, Diplomacy +9, Disguise +18, Escape Artist +13, Knowledge (arcana) +9, Knowledge (planes) +12, Perception +12, Sense Motive +18, Sleight of Hand +13, Spellcraft +9, Stealth +13, Use Magic Device +18; Racial Modifiers +6 Bluff, +6 Disguise, +6 Sense Motive, +6 Use Magic Device Languages Abyssal, Celestial, Common, Draconic, Infernal SQ change shape (humanoid or evil outsider, polymorph), fiendish guise Ecology Environment any land or underground (Nirvana or evil plane) Organization solitary, pair or cell (3-6) Treasure double standard (masterwork trident, other treasure) Special Abilities Alter Alignment (Su) A bene ishim can choose the strength and alignment of its aura as a standard action. Any creature trying to detect its aura must succeed a DC 17 Will save or read it as the angel’s chosen aura instead. The save DC is Charisma based. Fiendish Guise (Su) A bene ishim can use its change shape ability to take the form of Tiny, Small, Medium or Large evil outsiders. It does not gain any of their abilities unless those abilities can be assumed by the spell polymorph. Personal Protective Aura (Su) A bene ishim gains a +4 deflection bonus to Armor Class and a +4 resistance bonus to saving throws against attacks and effects made by evil creatures. Treat this as a double strength protection from evil effect. Redirect Blows (Su) As an immediate action, a bene ishim can force a creature attempting to attack it to succeed a DC 17 Will save or instead attack the nearest evil outsider. If no evil outsider is in reach of the enemy’s attack, it instead injures itself, dealing 1d8 points of damage plus its Strength modifier. This is a mind-influencing compulsion effect. Shadow Blend (Su) In any condition of illumination other than full daylight, a bene ishim disappears into the shadows, giving it concealment (50% miss chance). Artificial illumination, even a light or continual flame spell, does not negate this ability; a daylight spell, however, does. A bene ishim can suspend or resume this ability as a free action.

HR Violation | Tom Hiddleston x Reader

A/N: Another anon request: I’d like to request a Tom x Reader imagine set in a university where the reader is a brilliant student and Tom a special guest maybe, for a literature or drama class about Shakespeare. I’d like some fluff and smut where the two fall in love. That’s just an idea but you’re absolutely free to decide for something different. Thank u in advance if you decide to do this. Love ur writing ❤️I did change it up a bit.

Pairing: Professor Tom Hiddleston x Reader

Summary: You are a graduate student and PhD candidate. You never thought a guest professor would have an effect on you. That was until you met Thomas William Hiddleston

TAGLISTS ARE OPEN, JUST LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT TO BE ADDED TO A LIST!!

“He’s a total babe.”

“One hundred percent I would let him nail me.”

“Yes, please Daddy!”

You cleared your throat, and the undergrads jumped when they saw you.

“What or who, more accurately, are you young ladies talking about?” You stared them down.

“No one!” The two literature majors responded. Your reputation as a no nonsense professor made the rounds through the undergrads quick this year.

“The new guest professor, Mr. Hiddleston!” The third girl piped up. Her friends elbowed her. “Ow!”

You covered your mouth to hide the chuckle bubbling up.

“I haven’t had the pleasure. But I would suggest the two of you focus on your essays on Austen and not on the more scandalous ways to get expelled.” You raised an eyebrow and walked away as they both made their mea culpas.

Every year was the same. Some new male professor joins the faculty sending all the young female co-eds in a tizzy. And many a male student as well. But just as soon as the embers of a torrid professor- student love affair spark, they are quickly doused by a healthy dose of reality.

You arrived at your office and dumped your bag on the desk and slumped in the chair. You spied several boxes piled up on the second desk in the room.

“Oh, fuck…” you groaned. You hoped you wouldn’t end up with an office mate this semester. Howard from the Modern Lit Department just about did you in last year. He always seemed to smell of fish and potatoes for some unknown reason.

Your door flung open, and your best friend, Caitlyn, burst in.

“Drop whatever you are doing and come with me to Alden Hall!” she screeched, grabbing your wrist.

You snatched your hand back. “Why on earth would I do that?” You glared at Cait as though she had grown a second head.

“Two words. British accent.” She counted off on her fingers as she spoke. “So come!”

Cait got you out the door and jogging down the hallway towards Alden Hall. You rolled your eyes at Cait’s excitement. No single man was worth this amount of fuss.

As the door opened, you overheard a deep baritone voice extolling the virtues of Tolstoy. The two of you slipped into the back and you glanced at the front to see the source of this rich velvety voice.

“Oh fuck.” you muttered a touch too loud and the undergrads in the back row turn and giggle.

“I told you it was worth it.” Cait leaned over to whisper in your ear, but you only half listened. Because you were fixated by the specimen of a man at the front.

He was a tall and lean man. He wore his reddish blond hair long and pushed up his glasses with his middle finger. As he moved, his tweed jacket hugged the curves of his ass.

“Damn that man.” Cait hissed as she squeezed your arm.

“Who the hell is this?”

“Thomas William Hiddleston, adjunct professor for the Literature Department.”

You swallowed hard. You now saw what the fuss was about earlier today. You glanced back to the front of the room and spied a pair of piercing blue eyes staring directly at you. You tugged at Cait’s sleeve to slip back out and return to the office. You didn’t notice the hint of a smile flit across Tom’s face.

It took twenty minutes to get Caitlyn out of your office and then another five to focus back onto the reason you came back in the first place. Your dissertation. You needed to get a rough draft to your advisor within the month. But soon your head fell to the desk, and you dozed off.

The door opened and shut. You turned your head at the sound of the lock to your office clicking.

“Please don’t lock…” your voice trailed off as you see Professor Hiddleston standing there

“I can go if you want?” He hooked his thumb towards the door.

“No!” you exclaimed with too much force. You clear your throat to compose yourself. “I mean, that’s not necessary. What brings you here?”

Tom’s chest rumbled with a chuckle. “I saw you at the back of my lecture today.” He strutted towards you. You found her heart pounding in your chest.

“My friend dragged me along.” you shrugged it off in an effort to deflect from the growing arousal within in your core.

“Possibly. But your friend certainly didn’t force you to undress me with your eyes.” He picked up a pen from your desk, flipping it in his hand.

“I beg your pardon!” You snapped back, rising to stand toe to toe with the tall man. “I did not!”

“You can lie to yourself, but I have seen that look before.” Tom’s fingers traced the line of your jaw. You turned your head away, but he hooked your chin and snapped your face up to stare at him. “You want me.”

“I want no such thing!” your voice wavered. “I’m a graduate student and PhD candidate. You’re a professor! It is so improper. It’s a HR violation!”

Tom smirked as he leaned forward, his lips ghosting yours. “I won’t tell if you don’t.” Your hands snaked along his neck to pull him closer and his lips pressed against yours…

SLAM! The door startled you awake. You rubbed your eyes and found the man from your dreams standing in front of you.

“What the fuck are you doing in here!?” you screeched, scrambling to your feet, smoothing down your sweater.

Tom raised his eyebrows as he dropped his backpack on the vacant desk.

“Apologies. I don’t believe we have met yet, Thomas Hiddleston, but everyone calls me Tom. I am a guest professor this year. They gave me the spare desk. They didn’t tell you?”

“Fuck!” you hissed under your breath.

“What was that?” he asked, failing to hide the smile on his face.

“I said welcome!” you lied. You extended your hand and introduced yourself.

“Pleasure. I hope I didn’t disturb your nap. I should have been more quiet.”

“What?! No, I wasn’t napping. I was thinking! Right, I have been working on my dissertation.” You scrambled for a plausible explanation of why you were drooling on your desk just moments ago.

“It’s fine. I won’t tell HR if you don’t.”

“Look at the time! I got to go! Meeting!” You snatched your bag and bolted through the door, leaving Tom to wonder what the hell he had said.

“You ran?!” Cait nearly spit her coffee in your face.

“Like a bat out of hell.” You muttered as you lifted the cup to your lips to cool off the scalding coffee.

“Why in the hell did you do that?!”

“Because he said ‘I won’t tell HR if you don’t’ and just moments before he was whispering that into my ear as he was about to kiss me in my dream.”

That time Cait spat out her coffee. “You were having a sex dream?!” she squeezed your arm.

You brushed her off. “I was not having a sex dream. I dozed off writing my dissertation.”

“In this dream, were your clothes on or off?”

“On.”

“Did you wish they were off?”

You didn’t answer this time.

“You did! You little slut. Well, what are you going to do about it?”

“Nothing! There is nothing to do anything about. I am sure that man thinks I am a lunatic at worst and a girl with a possible bowel issue at best. Any relationship is dead in the water before it began.”

Cait sipped her coffee in contemplation. “So you are not going for it, mind if I take a shot?”

You punched her in the arm. Hard.

The next few weeks went better than you hoped. Your schedule seemed to be the exact opposite of Tom’s and you only saw him in passing in the halls. You gave each other a friendly wave while passing. It certainly helped you spent little to no time actually in the office.

As you opened your door, you noticed a paper cup on your desk.

“I fished one of your old ones out of the garbage to figure out your order.” Tom commented from his desk.

“Thank you. You didn’t have to do that.” You hid your other cup under your desk and took a sip from the one Tom gave you.

“I had to figure out some way to start a conversation. I am under the impression you have been avoiding me.”

You choked on the coffee. “What?! No! What gave you that impression?”

Tom covered his mouth with the back of his hand to suppress his laugh. “Well for starters, you bolted from here during our first meeting like I was contagious with bubonic plague.”

“I was late for a meeting.”

Tom nodded. “So you said.” He rose and moved to the couch closer to your desk. “And since then, I think you have been actively avoiding me.”

You gulped. “I’ve… I’ve… been working on my dissertation.”

“Without your laptop or research materials?” Tom lifted his chin towards the stack of books and papers in the corner. Your laptop perched on top of the stack. “Why don’t you tell me the actual reason?”

You shifted in your seat and developed a sudden interest in a small hole in your jean skirt. Tom reached over and massaged your knee.

“Perhaps, if I told you something first?” His eyes sparkled behind the rim of his glasses.

“Sure.” you answered with hesitation.

“I saw you in the back of the lecture hall that day.” You gave a nervous laugh. “And then afterwards, when I returned to the office to find you here. I couldn’t believe my luck.” His hand slid up from your knee to onto your thigh, stroking his hand up and down.

“Why was that?” you gulped. Your voice cracked as you asked.

Tom rubbed the back of his neck out of nerves. “To be completely honest, I have been finding myself having rather…” Tom shifted in discomfort. “… arousing dreams about you.” Your brows raised in surprise. “And I suspect you may be having the same issue.”

“Why would you think that?”

“Because you were moaning my name the other day in your sleep and you bolted at the mention of HR.”

“I said what?”

“It’s alright.” Tom pushed his knees between yours. “I have checked the policy and there is nothing against PhD candidates dating professors as long as they are not advisors or on the panel.”

“You checked on that?” You placed your hands on his thighs.

“Naturally, I can’t have one or both of us getting fired when I ravish you on this couch.”

“What-” your response was cut off by Tom pulling you onto his lap, his arms wrapping around your waist.

His lips crashed against yours, hungry and passionate. As his fingers moved along your body, his touch igniting your skin on fire.

“How does reality match up with your dreams?” you whispered against his mouth, your fingers tangling in his long hair.

He pulled his glasses off to stare at you. “In my dreams, you’re naked.”

“Is the door locked?”

Tom reached and clicked it shut. “It is now.” His hands tugged at your sweater. “Nice sweater.”

You ran your hands along his own turtleneck sweater. “You too. It would look better on the floor.”

In a flash, the two of you pulled off your tops, and you also slipped your bra off as well. Tom groaned as you shifted in his lap.

“You are the devil.” Tom growled against your neck, sucking at your pulse point.

You chuckled as you moved Tom’s hand underneath your skirt, pushing it up around your hips.

“No knickers?” Tom inquired, his eyebrows raised in surprise.

“A girl must always be prepared.” you teased.

“I don’t even want to know why. But I am pleased.”

Tom lifted your hips and undid the fly of his pants. His erect cock popped free. Tom guided you onto his cock. The two of you moaned in unison.

“Oh my god!” you exclaimed as Tom stretched you. You dug your nails into his shoulders.

“While I appreciate the enthusiasm.” Tom chuckled as he bucked up into you, “I would rather not put the HR policy to the test.”

“Then you better hurry because I don’t know how long I can keep quiet.”

“That can be arranged.” Tom gripped your hips and thrusted into you.

You held on for dear life to Tom’s shoulders and he fucked you at a bruising pace. Tom released one of your hips to find your clit, rubbing it along with his thrusts.

“Cum for me.” Tom commanded, growling in your ear.

You bit your lip to stifle your scream as you orgasm. Your head fell back as you clenched around Tom’s cock.

“Fuck, darling!” Tom cursed as his thrusts became erratic and he spilled inside you.

Tom fell back against the couch, pulling you tight against his chest. “So…” he started. “… now that we got the sex out of the way. Would you like to go with me to dinner tonight?”

You placed your finger on your chin in contemplation. “I’ll have to check my calendar. Which reminds me, you will need to clear out of here in about an hour for my next tryst.”

Tom slapped your ass as he smiled at your comment.

“Hey!” you smacked his arm. “That’s assault.” You wagged your finger in his face. “Don’t make me call HR on you.”

Tom’s lips curled into a smile as he kissed you. “I won’t tell if you don’t.”

I notice a lot of fans don't really bring up how Roche uses Ves for her "feminine qualities (for lack of a better word)." I hate that in Witcher 2 he sends her to Loredo dressed as a prostitute and it is implied she does this sort of thing regularly? I do know that Roche cares for her but sometimes his behavior needs a reprimand. Do you have any thoughts on this?

i absolutely love questions like this because they really make me think. plus, this is one of the rare posts that's a system special! give @claire-verlaine your love. she's simply amazing.

first things first, spoiler warning for chapter 2 of roche's path in w2 and big trigger warning for discussions of sex work, sex trafficking, rape, war, unequal power dynamics, and brief mentions of underage prostitution. also this is really fucking long. sorry.

let's start with the geekiness: prostitution as a cover for espionage has a long and awesome, albeit poorly documented, history. it was really big with the confederacy (read: racists) during american civil war, and while their motives were undoubtedly awful, these spies were simply amazing. rose o'neal greenhow was recognized by the confederate president for her role in their victory at the first battle of bull run. belle boyd seduced a union (read: racists but more covert) general, found out the date and location of the next war council, drilled a hole in the floor in the meeting room, and sat in the crawl space and took notes of the entire thing.

although there were many successful female union spies, most of them didn't use sex. there's no clear consensus on why this was, but it's entirely possible that such enlightened progressives figured sex work to be demeaning. clearly, union men were avid consumers, but also thought women didn't know any better and needed to be protected from men who would exploit them. meanwhile, these awful southern racists had no problem with "exploiting" women, but inadvertently granted them a shit ton of political agency and prestige!

this all brings us to our next point, which is that nothing is inherently wrong with sex work, although it does put workers in incredibly vulnerable positions. for every spy that successfully used prostitution as a cover, there were likely many others that failed. without even considering the consequences of being discovered as an enemy spy, sex trafficking was (and continues to be) a very real risk for anyone in that situation*.

nearly the whole history of sex work legislation shows how little people, especially upper class men, understand it. the spies in the civil war were both lucky and unlucky in that they operated quite independently. they didn't need to take orders from someone who was entirely unqualified to give them, but they also had no safety net in case something went wrong. if belle boyd so much as sneezed while eavesdropping, there would be almost no chance she'd get back home alive.

however dangerous this job was, most lady spies during the civil war began spying before they were even recruited by the army. these women weren't doing it on anyone's orders, they were doing it because they had the skills and believed in the cause (remember that in this case that belief was not an admirable quality).

rose o'neal's (possible) handler, thomas jordan, had a huge network of spies, and all evidence points to him giving her way more independence than usual. thomas jordan wasn't who rose went to for orders, he was who she submitted her reports to. in my opinion, the sex she had to obtain this information was consensual.

ves' scenario is obviously different in regard to her chain of command. she is going into sexual situations under the direct orders of a (male) commanding officer. just writing this has the alarm bells going off in my head. what good is having someone to get you out of a dangerous situation when they were the one to put you in that situation in the first place? but this is where we get to what's special about roche. he is, as they say, not like other girls.

it's no secret how much roche loves his team. when the blue stripes are killed he says that everything he loved died. if ves dies in an eye for an eye he is absolutely devastated. the blue stripes aren't just roche's subordinates, they're his family. when you see the stripes outside of battle the camaraderie is even clearer: they fist fight their commander and each other to blow off steam, they play games, have contests, etc. ves' knowledge of roche's dark and troubled past is more proof that the trust goes both ways.

roche would never put his family in an unnecessarily dangerous situation, nor would he have them do something he personally wouldn't do. even if it's just from a morality perspective (like double crossing radovid for the man that had foltest killed), roche goes it alone.

so, we know roche is a (compratively) good guy. but we also know that intention, often, doesn't mean shit. i mentioned earlier how most of the people making decisions for sex workers have little to no idea of what they are doing. it doesn't help that their intentions are all about controlling (mostly) women and getting rich in the process, but even the best meaning legislator could unknowingly do a lot of damage. roche is way more involved in ves' missions than thomas jordan was in rose o'neal's, but i think that's a good thing.

as i'm sure you lovely witcher connoisseurs know, roche is a literal whoreson. he is very aware of what goes on in brothels, and, depending on how you read into his relationship with foltest, what it's like to not really be able to say no. if anything, roche's involvement here is a good thing, since he has years of first hand experience with exactly what ves is going through, but without the safety net of an elite team that loves him and are frighteningly good soldiers.

plus, ves is far more capable than your average soldier, even in a blue stripes-calibre group. she's an absolute badass. most women who used prostitution as a cover for spying went into it with no combat or espionage training whatsoever. they knew how to be personable, how to be seductive, and how to use men's biases to get them to spill all their secrets. clearly, this knowledge served them well, but what about the occasions when it didn't? they were not fighters. at all. ves has both the "feminine charms" and the terrifying combat skills. of course, these scenarios usually have her acting as a spy, not an assassin, so those skills are more of a failsafe, but it's still very important to her own safety and the morality of the whole situation.

TL;DR

to sum up, anon, i do agree with (what i assume to be) your reasoning, but not the conclusion you came to. if someone told me an older male superior was having a younger female subordinate act as a prostitute to gain intel during a time of war, i'd be ready to start cutting off dicks.

but that's not the whole story. the older male superior has a personal background in (possibly) coerced and underaged sex work. the younger female subordinate is a highly skilled soldier, and second in command of an elite unit. both of them have a very close familial relationship developed over several years. a similar relationship exists between the the other members of the unit in their command. personally, i think those factors make this a completely new situation.

that being said, i'm certain that my beliefs aren't the only ones out there. as long as we can all agree that the base scenario is unequivocally wrong, there should be absolutely no reason to (civilly) not discuss whether or not the special circumstances make it okay.

* i'll take this as an opportunity to say that the enforcement of anti-sex work laws force sex workers to be either a criminal, a victim, or dead. these laws are the problem, not the solution. the solution would be supporting unions for sex workers, giving them the same legal protections given to any other worker, and treating them like humans, not statistics.

#anon #sorry this is so long #i got carried away #roche tag #ves tag #shaun the sheep talks to humans #also anon you get the honourable award for most interesting ask ever #i absolutely loved it
