#I am not looking at my payslips x

Earlier I was talking to my little sister about a job she’s going for that has the same salary as me and she was like “It would be X every month” which was like £250 more than I get. And I was like… no I don’t think that’s right??
So I checked my tax code with the tax office and then checked what my take home pay should be with this online salary calculator and it was the same as what my sister said!
Then I logged into my work payslips app and it looks like they have THE WRONG tax code. They’d applied the rate that is meant to be applied to people with second jobs, so I have been being taxed much higher that I should be for EIGHT. MONTHS.
So, I think I am owed a rebate of almost £2000.
But I spoke to the tax office today and they said I will get a notification of any potential tax rebate for the last financial year in NOVEMBER.
I could really use with that money right now but at least it should come back to me at some point.
#I was wondering why my take home pay had barely increased despite my actual salary increasing like 40%#like wtf bro

The Correct Paperwork
The Correct Paperwork: A Falcon Fanfic
Buy me a ☕ Character Pairing: Sam Wilson x F!Reader
Word Count: 1582
Rating: E
Square filled: @star-spangled-bingo - Redwing
Warnings: Smut (M|F, voyeurism, exhibitionism, masturbation, video sex)
Synopsis: Sam sends Redwing into your office while he’s away on a mission and you agree to give him a small show, but only if he sends in the correct paperwork.
The Correct Paperwork
You were sitting at your desk just trying to get through some of the mountains of monotonous paperwork that had ended up on your desk when the little bird drone came hovering in through your door. Sam had expected as much, he knew what time of the day it was and he knew what the other’s were like. People knew what the Avengers did obviously. They saved the world. They fought bad guys. They were heroes. What most people didn’t know was the absolute mountain of paperwork that there was involved with the Avengers being a functioning unit. Not even counting the mission files and intelligence reports that were the sole purview of Maria Hill, there was a lot. Incident reports that had to be filed with local authorities. Insurance claims that came through due to damage to property, both belong to Avengers or the public as a whole. Health insurance claims. Investment portfolios to keep money coming in because there was not a single company in the world that would insure the Avengers for either property damage or their medical coverage. There were lawsuits and payslips, sick leave and holiday leave, overtime and hazard pay, and so much more all needing the i’s dotted and the t’s crossed. When they weren’t, it ended up on your desk.
They weren’t a lot. No one liked to do their paperwork. Most rushed it. Some, like Clint and Tony, would just sign and initial where they needed to and hope the rest just magically got filled in.
You looked up at the sound of Redwing’s engine and smiled. The video through the camera of the Redwing wasn’t the best quality. It had that red filter and was a little staticky, but he was still more than happy to see you. “Why hello there, Redwing,” you said, putting your pen down and leaning back in your chair. “Shouldn’t you be locked up in the armory?”
Sam chuckled and relaxed back on the ratty mattress he was lying on. “He’s doing me a favor,” he said. He’d been away on a mission for a week and he’d missed you. There was a procedure for taking out any of the weaponry, which included both Redwing and his wings. There was a bioscan and something to sign. That way no one took things they weren’t supposed to and people knew where everything was. Commandeering one of his old Redwing units to talk to you was breaking every rule.
“Is he now?” You asked, crossing your arms over your chest. “Shouldn’t you be working, Mister Wilson?”
“It’s my turn to sleep,” Sam answered. “And you know there’s one thing that always helps me sleep.”
You chuckled. “And how are we going to do that when I’m here and you’re all the way over there?”
“I can see you, you know?” Sam teased, playfully. “Maybe you could give me a little show?”
“Sam!” You scolded. “I’m at work.”
Sam chuckled and put an arm behind his head. He knew from the tone you were going to play along, but you’d just need a little talking into it. “Come on, baby,” Sam teased. “It’s been a week. I’m forgetting what you look like.”
You smirked and got up going to the door and locking it. “Well, you’ve seen me now. You can put Redwing back where he belongs.”
“Please, baby,” Sam begged, his hand slipping into the waistband of his sweatpants. “Show me a little sugar. You’re so god damn beautiful.”
“You and you’re sweet talk, Samuel,” you teased, unbuttoning your blouse. You kept it pulled closed so he couldn’t see anything and when it was completely unbuttoned you turned away from Redwing.
Sam chuckled and maneuvered the drone around trying to get a better view. “You feeling shy?”
You laughed and turned again, your hands moving behind your back, unhooking your bra. He moved the drone again and you kept your back to him as you unhooked your bra. You slid it off under your shirt and held it out, dropping it to the floor.
“Baby!” Sam whined. “Such a fucking tease.”
“You know I am,” you said turning back to him, still holding your blouse closed. You ran your fingers down the button placket. Sam started to slowly stroke himself hard. “You being a good boy while you’re away, Sam?”
“When am I ever?” He teased, his palm working up and down his length. “Now let’s see those titties.”
You started laughing. “Sweet talker,” you giggled. Sam laughed with you and slowly opened your blouse, first one side, and then the other, exposing your breasts to him. Even with the static and the red filter
“Oh, yeah, that’s the ticket,” he said. “Fuck, you’re gorgeous. How about you pinch your nipples a little, make them nice and hard for me.”
“Yeah?” You teased, running your fingers around your areolae. You pinched your nipples and tugged on them a little, making them pebble and harden. “Are you touching yourself? You making yourself hard for me, Sammy?”
Sam pushed his pants down a little and wrapped his hand around his cock, groaning softly. “You know I am. You make me so hard, babe.”
You moved over to your desk, still toying with your nipples. “I’m glad to hear it,” you said. “Maybe I should play with myself too.”
“Fuck, yeah you should,” Sam groaned as he tugged on his cock. A bead of pre-come had begun to form on the head and he ran his palm over it, lubricating it.
You turned again and hitched your skirt up to the top of your thighs, before bending over. He groaned as he watched you grab the waistband of your panties and slowly pulled them down, your ass bouncing from side to side as you wriggled out of them. His breath caught at the way the elastic of the waistband pulled against your thighs as you dragged them down.
“God, you’re hot,” Sam hummed as he stroked his cock a little faster.
“Thank you, honey,” you said, hopping up onto your desk and spreading your legs. He groaned again as he caught sight of your pussy. You reached between your legs and spread your folds. The pink of your labia was darker through the red filter of Redwing, but he could see it glistening.
“Fuck,” he sighed as you began to move his finger up and down your folds. “What I wouldn’t give to bury my face between your legs and eat you out.”
“Mmm…” you hummed as your finger around your clit in tight circles. “I’d like that. You are so good with your mouth. What else would you do?”
Precum began to run down his cock and over his knuckles. He grunted softly and bucked his hips up. “I’d use my fingers on that sweet spot inside you. Maybe play with your ass a little. Would you like that?”
“Fuck yeah, I would, Sammy,” you groaned, pushing two fingers inside yourself. He could still see you were using your thumb on your clit, but your hand hid most of your movements. Not that it mattered to Sam. You were playing with your breasts again, squeezing and massaging them. First one and then the other, and your face was a mask of pure pleasure.
He worked his hand faster up and down his cock, moaning softly as it throbbed in his hand. “Then I’d bend you over that desk and fuck you,” he growled.
“No you wouldn’t,” you said, your breath coming in shallow. “Because I’d be sucking that dick first. I’d take it so far down the back of my throat I’d choke on it.”
“Fuck,” Sam groaned. “I miss you so much, baby. Do your fingers feel good.”
“Yeah, babe,” you moaned. “I wish they were yours though.”
“I wish that too,” he gasped in response. “So bad.”
He watched on as your chest started to heave and small beads of sweat clung to your brow. “Fuck you look so good,” he grunted. His cock was throbbing, but he wanted you to come first.
You began to pant and you bucked up on the dest. “Fuck,” you gasped. “I’m close, Sammy. Are you close?”
“Yeah, babe. Right there. You come for me. Let me see you.”
You kept working your fingers, rubbing your clit faster and faster, and with a loud cry, you jerked up and came. Every muscle in your body tightened and you arched back on the desk.
Sam groaned, his hand moving faster up and down his shaft, there was a tightening of his balls and with a grunt he released - hot ropes of come splattering his stomach. “Fuck, babe, you look so good when you come,” he moaned.
“You do too, I just wished I could have seen it,” you said, still breathing heavily.
“Mmm… me too. Hopefully, we aren’t here too much longer,” Sam replied as he cleaned himself up.
You got up and started to redress. “Me too. You better put the little bird back in its cage though. If someone notices he’s missing I’m gonna be filling out paperwork about it all day tomorrow.”
“Of course, honey. I love you. I really hope I can speak to you properly soon,” Sam said and started to guide Redwing back out the window.
“Oh and honey?” You said.
He turned Redwing back and saw you looking up at it. “Yeah?”
“This had better not show up in your briefings when you get back.”

the one with the step stool.
nakamoto yuta x reader // barista!au // enemies to lovers!au
summary: in which you and yuta are coworkers and he finds it funny that you can’t reach the things on the top shelf
lets get this started then
can I just say
you absolutely adored your job
like most people hated their jobs? not you
working at the quaint coffee shop was the highlight of your day; talking to the old ladies who came in for morning tea every week, having friendly debates with the suits who came in during rush hour as you made their coffees, fun discussions with the other students and making new close friends with your coworkers
all in all, work was great
was
over the summer, when it started to get really busy as the weather looked up, your manager started hiring some new summer staff
enter yuta
okay not gonna lie the first time you saw him you thought he was hella attractive and couldnt wait to work with him
but that was until he began openly flirting with all the customers, and boasting to one of your coworkers about how much money he got in tips from it
and honestly, it began to piss you off
who the hell does he think he is
he was so cute and flirty with all the customers but so teasing when it came to you
and no it wasn't cute you hate the guy shut up
“y/n can u stop staring at my ass” “im trying to see how many muffins are in the case, asshole”
“hey y/n,,, like what you see?” “I wasn't even looking at you until you said my name wtf”
and no he wasn't a fuckboy!!!!! but he was definitely flirtatious
“y/n you missed a spot” “no I didnt I just finished wiping this table down” “no, not that,,, the bit of drool,, from looking at me” “oh my god shut up”
most of the time u worked the machine whilst he was on registers
but one of the other girls in the back went away on a holiday, so u started covering her in the office
which meant you had to be able to reach all the files in the top cabinets
and okay,, you weren't SHORT per say... but u were sorta
vertically challenged
and Yuta had taken it upon himself to help bully you whenever you needed ingredients from the top shelves when u were in the kitchen
so watching u try and reach for the files every day made him cACKLE
literally it was the funniest shit to him
“do u need a hand” “oh uh, yes please” “come on y/n just take it” “YOURE HOLDING IT OVER YOUR HEAD YOU LITTLE SHIT I CANT REACH IT”
anyway
one day you come in to work
and you roll your eyes at him when he sends you a grin from the registers
and roll your eyes even hARDER when he winks
when u walk into the office you're working in, theres a small pink step stool sitting on the desk, heart and rainbow stickers stuck all over it
theres also just a pile of glitter sitting on the top, like not glued on or anything, just sitting in a pile on the black surface
immediately your smile drops and you turn around in a fit of rage, and he's already standing there smugly, his arms crossed as he leans against the doorframe
“nakamoto yuta i am going to KILL you” you march up to him, your eyes shooting daggers
his eyes widen a little as you stand as close as possible to him, your finger pointed at him “you're such an asshole you know that?”
his smile never falters “you’re really cute when you're mad”
in a huff, you stomp back to your desk, grab the step stool and set it down at his feet
he laughs softly at your actions and watches as you stand on the stool confidently
“bet im not cute anymore”
he shakes his head at you and leans back quickly to make sure he’s not going to get in trouble for abandoning his work
“nope” he assures you
not gonna lie,, it kinda hurt
he saw the smile falter on your face
“well, uh... good, I-”
he glances down at the stool, before dragging his eyes up to your face, hovering above his “not cute exactly, I'd say more hot, but it’s whatever” he grins cheekily at you as he watches the small, shy smile appear on your face
“um? thank you?” you let your hands drop and you keep eye contact as you step off the stool and kick it forcefully into the corner of the room
he doesnt leave
“dont you have something better to do? like, idk, your job?”
“shouldn't I be asking you the same thing?”
“whatever yuta”
later that week, you’re collecting your payslip from the box theyre kept in after your shift when yuta joins you
for once in his lifetime, he doesnt make any jokes as he easily reaches up and grabs it for you from above the cupboards
he huffs dramatically as he searches for his from the box “why can't they just do it in alphabetical order or something wtf”
“im sure its there somewhere”
“I can't find it”
“just grab it next week then”
“I can't, this is my last week”
“you're quitting?” you stop, looking up at him, instantly feeling as if it was your fault
he sent you a small smile because of ur concern, and continues looking through the box “no, im only summer staff, remember? and last time I checked, this is the last week of summer”
“so, you're not going to work here anymore” you couldnt believe it
“pretty sure thats what it means, yeah” he looked amusedly at you
when you didnt respond: “you gonna miss me, shortstack? no one to get the files down for you”
you snorted, “doubt it, and besides, I have a stool”
but to tell the truth, part of you was going to miss him
you continue to rifle through the pile you have in your hands and you find his
“this is yours right?” he looks up and makes to grab his payslip from you
“come on yuta just take it” you mock as you hold it out away from him
he reaches out to grab it and you move your arm behind your back, and he doesnt hesitate to reach around you to try and get it back
“um” you start, when both of his arms are wrapped around you, trying to snatch the envelope from your hands
it wasn't because you were freaked out because this wasn't normal, it was because you were freaked out because it did feel normal
it felt like he should always have his hands wrapped around you
and you didnt mean to ruin it;
he stopped instantly, taking in your position
you were standing there, one of his arms holding you to his chest to prevent you from moving, as his other reached for your hand
your other hand was resting on his shoulder as he bent down slightly to reach down your back
you stayed like that for a moment; trying to gage each other’s reactions
because if he wasn't lying; he was quite enjoying how flushed he made you, and how cute he thought your habits were while you were working
and how pretty you looked every morning when you walked in, and how you still looked gorgeous at the end of the day
okay okay maybe mAYBE yuta had a slight thing for you
but you would never take him seriously because of his constant flirting
“sorry” he pulled his arms away from you, taking a small step back
“no, no, um- here” you offered him the payslip
he took it, nodded and left
okay what the fuck just happened
did u have a thing for yuta
surely not
okay maybe
yes?
well this wasn't supposed to happen lol
the following week, after four days of not seeing yuta working with you, and with your friend coming back you were working the machine again, so u felt extra lonely
dont get me wrong, like your other friends were great, but you couldnt help miss him
especially with the small moment you'd had only a few days ago
the days passed much slower, but you continued your work diligently
“one regular iced mocha please”
your head shot up at his voice, and he sent you a wide grin as he met your eyes, then focused back on the girl serving him, grabbing out his wallet from his pocket
he stood waiting for his coffee beside the machine
“how have you been?” you tried to sound casual, not wanting to let on how excited you were to see him
he smiled happily “good, tho I miss working here”
“is that why you're back so soon”
“actually...” you looked up as you waited for the machine to finish pouring the hot liquid into a cup
“I wanted to ask if you were busy after your shift”
you felt a smile creep up on your face
you nodded happily, biting your lip to stop him from seeing your obvious reaction
“you still finish at 3 on Fridays right?”
“yeah” you blushed a little and began to focus on your coffees again
“iced coffee for,, hottest man alive?” you frowned at the docket you'd been handed
“wow y/n thats not necessary but thank you” he laughed and stepped closer to collect his coffee
“nakamoto yuta i will-”
“kill me? okay, y/n, but you’ve gotta wait” he checked the time “seven minutes until your shift ends”
seven minutes later, you hung up your apron and grabbed your things, stashing them on the chair beside yuta, as he stood up to leave
“I just have to grab my payslip” you turned around to rush to the backroom
“I got it”
you cocked your head confusedly at him
he held it up, then moved it to above his head
you jutted your hip out and crossed your arms over your chest, unimpressed
he lowered his hand, offering it out to you, level with his chest
quietly, he said “come on y/n just take it”
you cocked an eyebrow at him and reached out to grab it, but he grabbed your wrist with his free hand, pulling you into him, and bending down to reach your face, he closed the gap between your lips
you stood there, surprised, before you felt yourself smile and kiss him back
your hands forgot about the payslip and moved around his neck, pulling him against you
he moved the hand with your payslip in it around you waist, supporting you
he pulled away and you pouted at him
“dont give me that look, I came here to take you on a date, not just make out with you”
“funny, I like the second idea more” you mumbled, stashing your payslip into your bag
“hey it took me two months to work up the courage to ask you out, you’re not throwing my date away this easily”
you grabbed his hand as you stepped out onto the sidewalk
“really? two months?”
he laughed as he lead you down the busy street
“you have no idea”

Verity 6:41
oh girl
tell me everything
CALLING VERITY
“Oh my God, is he still there?” Were Verity’s first words when she answered the phone.
Caroline sighed, “Sadly not. We’re doing this very sexy thing where we fucked out our emotions and now we are supposed to be professional. He left last night.”
“Oh Caroline.” Verity sighed. “What have you done?”
“I don’t even know? Like I was the one who suggested it?”
“Why?”
“I kind of told him that I liked him a lot but I thought he was getting weirded out so I just went haha let’s fuck? And he went for it. How am I going to go to work on Monday Verity?” Caroline sighed. “Actually I’m glad he’s not here, Horace climbed in my bed and even he is recoiling at my awful morning breath.”
Verity laughed audibly. “I’m so sad I literally live 1000 miles away. I want to meet this guy!”
“Yeah why did you move to Lisbon? I miss you. I need you to see if you think he’s as hot as I think he is.”
“You know it’s quite encouraging.” Verity remarked. “Normally after you sleep with a guy, you question how you were even attracted to him in the first place.”
“Ugh, why do I have to have feelings Verity?” Caroline whinged, cuddling Horace closer. “I’ve decided the only man I’m allowing into my life now is Horace. That’s it. That’s the rules.” She climbed out of bed, almost dropping her iPhone in the process.
“I mean, we all saw how you lasted with your no men rule.”
“Stop it!” Caroline made a beeline for the kettle, ready to make a (good) cup of (proper) tea, unlike that milky shit Dwight lovingly makes her every morning. “I never catch feelings, what’s wrong with me?”
“Honestly who even is she anymore? Colour me shoo-”
“Verity! Emergency!” Caroline picked up some of her own stationary with ‘For Caroline’ scrawled on the front.
“What?” Verity called back but Caroline had already put the phone down, ripping open the envelope keenly.
Dear Caroline,
Just to let you know, I know very little about women (who aren’t patients) but I know enough to know you’re a fantastic one.
Thank you for a wonderful night,
Dwight x
“Verity my fanny is fluttering intensely.” Caroline picked the phone back up.
“Caroline!”
“How am I supposed to work with him when he keeps giving me all these… love kernels?”
“You’ve got to stay strong.” Verity was using her motivational mum voice. “Resolute.”
“He left me his number, I’m going to text him, ask what time he’s coming in on Monday.”
“Caroline I really don’t think that’s a-”
“Goodbye Verity!” Caroline slammed down her phone before realizing that could break the screen and also that she needed it immediately to text Dwight. Her hands were shaking a little and she was shocked at the pure effect he had on her. She didn’t feel like she’d ever felt like this about a man before, despite the overwhelming amount of men (and women) interested in her.
“Oh fuck.” She put an earl grey tea bag in her mug, something she’d become accustomed to since meeting Dwight. “I’m a white man’s whore.” Horace was whining at her feet and she opened her double doors to let him out, contemplating how she’d been so involved in solving this damn case, she’d put herself second again. Which she swore she’d never do.
Maybe sleeping with Dwight was a mistake. Maybe she should make him less involved in the case.
But you see, he had this way of connecting with witnesses, asking the right questions that made Caroline feel more secure, even as an experienced detective.
Plus, she sighed, there was definitely something there. Why on earth did he have to be her colleague?
“Oh Horace,” she spooned his food into his bowl where he had returned from the garden. “I’ve fucked up.”
Horace simply snaffled his food in reply and she stared at him fondly. Living in a ground floor apartment meant she had a beautiful little patio and she could watch Horace all day at the weekend, unless the case was really desperate. But she’d bought her files home and was ready to read up on her next witness, Rowella Chynoweth.
Why on earth hadn’t she called on the sister of the deceased earlier? Apparently she lived in the next town over but witness statements showed they had not spoken since Morwenna’s marriage to Osborne Whitworth. This seemed unlikely due to the close proximity of the sisters. Character references also seemed to prove she couldn’t hold a job down, with one employer calling her a ‘pathological liar.’
As much as she admired Dwight, she knew she’d have to do this one alone.
POLICE INTERVIEW WITH SUSPECT:
MISS ROWELLA CHYNOWETH (POSSIBLE WITNESS, SISTER OF THE DECEASED): RC
DET. CAROLINE PENVENEN: CP
CP: Just to reassure you, this is a chat more than an interview, legal counsel probably is not required unless you insist on it.
RC: Well, when I need it I have the best that money can buy.
CP: Really? I have a warrant to your bank statements that seem to suggest otherwise.
RC: I have my means.
CP: Are you referring to the £1,000 given to you each month by an Osborne Whitworth?
RC: Yes, they regret they could not see me often so they sent me some compensatory money.
CP: That’s odd. Unusual for a family. Did Mowenna know about this money?
RC: Yes.
CP: I will make note of this. What was your relationship like with your sister and her husband?
RC: My sister and I drifted apart after her marriage. I always thought her jealous of me because she chose to be married and regretted it after.
CP: Some witnesses have reported that your sister was unhappy in her marriage, does this surprise you?
RC: Honestly? She was miserable all the time about one thing or another I wouldn’t take that too seriously.
CP: Did you ever notice any abnormalities in her marriage to the Reverend Whitworth?
RC: As I say, I distanced myself after the marriage.
CP: Yes, could we go through that again? You have ‘distanced’ yourself by living just one town over but they miss you so much, they send you compensatory money?
RC: Yes, I wouldn’t change a word you said. Let the record show that. Anything else?
CP: Yes one more thing, where were you the afternoon and evening of the murder?
RC: With my boyfriend, a man named Arthur Sawley.
CP: That’s all for now, Rowella, don’t skip town.
END OF INTERVIEW
Caroline swung open her office door, ready to collapse into her comfortable chair when-
“You look absolutely exhausted and it’s only 10am.”
Dwight was sat in the chair opposite her desk, smiling, as if he had been there for quite a while and honestly? It had Caroline shook up.
“Oh yeah sorry,” Caroline forced out a smile through her shock. “I just had a really difficult witness.”
“Oh really? I didn’t know you had one coming in today.” Dwight countered as Caroline made herself comfortable in her chair. Honestly even retaining eye contact with him was a lot right now.
“Yeah Rowella Chynoweth. She’s a liar, I sense it in my gut. And from several sturdy character references.” Caroline scribbled furiously on her interview notes. “There’s this £1000 I just cannot justify.” She explained to him about the monthly payments and Dwight furrowed his brow.
“Maybe he’s paying her off for something?”
“But she said Morwenna knew about the payments?” Caroline could not connect the dots.
“But she’s a liar.” Dwight shrugged. “By the way, your hair looks nice today.”
Caroline blushed. She’d worn her hair down for the first time in ages and she wasn’t wearing a pantsuit for the first time in ages because she’d decided it was a new week and time for a new Caroline. “Thank you.” She’d always been excellent at taking compliments. How well she had been schooled. “I need a fucking clue, none of this is slotting together.” She’d been biting her biro for the last five minutes. “When will people stop lying?”
“She seems like the number one suspect at the moment.” Dwight suggested. “I’m sad I didn’t get to interview her sociopathic self.”
“Oh you missed nothing- I knew what I had to do and at least I’ve got some frankly lazy cover stories to work with.”
“Hey Caroline.” She was startled by the receptionist knocking on the door. “This just came for you.”
She passed a brown envelope with a printed label saying DET. CAROLINE PENVENEN
“Ooh I hope it’s my payslip.” Caroline smiled. “I’m broke as hell this month.” Dwight didn’t need to know that with her inheritance she’d never have to work a day in her life because it wasn’t important.
“It looks lowkey suspicious.” Dwight winced slightly.
“The new receptionist is very new so I will just have to see what amateur hour she’s produced here.” Caroline broke the seal with her letter opener she’d used only once before.
Inside were two sheets of paper almost stuck together and Caroline gasped when she saw what it was. “Oh my God Dwight.” She said under her breath, “You’re not going to believe this.”
For inside the envelope were two… indecent pictures of Rowella Chynoweth and the Reverend Osborne Whitworth.
“Oh my god.” Dwight gasped. “First of all, I’m never going to unsee that, put it away. Second of all, that’s probably what the money was for.”
“Morwenna couldn’t have possibly known about that money.” Caroline shook her head. “But I think we just found some motive.”
“Next question,” Dwight added, “Who sent this?”
“I will run the envelope to evidence for prints but I doubt there will be anything. Whoever is giving me these clearly wants to remain anonymous.” Caroline sighed. “FUCK.”
“You know, you should start a swear jar,” Dwight reclined his seat. “You’d make so much money.”
“When I was younger, swearing was bad manners. My uncle always said ‘no man will ever love you if you have a foul mouth’ and I just thought… well fuck.”
“That’s actually not true.” Dwight replied. “If anything it makes you more intellectual, shows you have a stronger grasp on the English language.”
Caroline blushed again. “Dwight, stop.” She shook her head. “Next thing I’ll have myself thinking you believe in me.”
To that, Dwight just smiled enigmatically. “What’s the harm in me believing you can solve this case?”
Hi yeah, the problem is I’m trying to delete my feelings for you but every time we are in the same room it intensifies times 100.
“Nothing. I’m a brilliant detective.” Caroline smirked. “And you’re a subpar doctor.”
“Stop it.” Dwight laughed. “I didn’t spend seven years at university to be called subpar!”
“Ok,” Caroline conceded, trying to tone down how extra she was being because she felt as if she was embarrassing herself. “I’ll confess, you’re a pretty great doctor. To dead people. I guess.”
“Wow.” Dwight was happy she’d finally cracked. “That’s going to be the opening statement on the cover letter for my next job.”
“What?” Caroline furrowed her eyebrows. “You’re leaving the morgue?”
“Yeah, I’ve done my time. I want to be a GP, it’s a bit more my scene. I’m going to have to go back to school for a bit first, but yeah, I plan to leave for Cambridge as soon as this case is over.”
Caroline’s heart was stamped on. Is this why he wanted to solve the case as soon as possible? Why the change? Did he not want to work with her anymore?
“Caroline,” Dwight attempted to regain her eye contact. “You literally look as if you’ve seen a ghost, are you ok?”
“This isn’t about… what happened between us is it?” Caroline could barely get the words out, she felt as if her mouth was made of cotton. How had she caught feelings so fast?
“No.” Dwight was quick to respond, holding his hand out over the table. “You are quite an incredible woman Caroline but not so much so you make me want to change practice.”
Caroline tentatively put her hand out back. “You see, things like this hurt me Dwight.”
“Things like what?”
“I don’t know whether it’s because you’re my colleague, or whether you’re a professional but, I just never feel like you’re completely in my reach.” Caroline said in a voice barely more than a whisper.
“Caroline,” Dwight replied almost instantly. “Do you want me to be in reach?”
Desperately, Caroline thought to herself.
“Until you go to Cambridge.” Caroline kept her voice calm. “I think we should keep doing… what we do. I don’t think I’m ready to let go yet. Are you?”
Dwight sighed, carding a hand through his hair. “I wish I could say I was but, we are going to have to keep it secret.”
“The best kept secret.”
“How did this get so complicated?” Dwight was confused. “If this were any other circumstance I would be dating the hell out of you right now.”
Is what you wanted him to say.
What he actually said was, “Thank you Caroline. I’ve got another body in the morgue, see you tonight?”
“Yeah,” Caroline breathed out gently, blushing at the thought. “See you tonight Doctor Enys.”
A/N: I WANT UR THEORIES!! WHO IS THE MURDERER AND WHO IS SENDING THOSE NOTES? WILL CAROLINE AND DWIGHT EVER MAN UP AND TELL EACHOTHER HOW THEY FEEL?

Obviously all of these documents are very personal, ranging from childhood memories to legal information. I wasn’t expecting my friends to tell me highly personal details, but I was surprised by the depth in description from some. This is something that I would like to research further: the culture of oversharing on social media that we have all become used to, for example by showing off new purchases. The difference is that instead of material items being shared, it is sensitive information.
However, on a more personal level, out of all of the documents I’ve located the ones that interest me the most are the official ones, namely my payslips. I have 13 of them and they are obviously very important for tax returns and other things I don’t understand yet, but they are also important to me because it is proof that I have a job that I enjoy and that I am proud of. On the other hand they are personal, not because they hold nostalgia or that they have high sentimental value, but that money is a private matter. I also like the repetitive nature of them: each slip looks exactly the same but the contents changes every time I get one. (Payslip measures 17.2 x 18.5; quite small - scale up?)
Also on a societal note, this pandemic has become quite a prevalent time for payslips, as people become furloughed and have less money to live on for the month. Sharing payslips online could be seen as an insensitive issue but also a helpful thing, to show people that they aren’t alone.

So I am super bad when it comes to tax and all that stuff. I never check my payslips etc and I got a letter from the ato saying I need to pay them x amount of $ because I didn’t get taxed on my second job for the one shift I did before need of financial year last year. So I went and had a look at my payslips and they haven’t been taxing me at all! Wtf do I? Am I going to have to pay some redicuois tax debt now?
