#I'm this close to start making a detective board about what we know about Cecil and all

[fiction-podcast-lover]

Do you ever think about what the implications that Cecil is hundreds of years old are towards Abby?

Because from the one recent episode we do know that they for sure grew up together.. but it is also implied Cecil exists as long as nightvale does. Or even if he doesn't, from the episode that introduces Earl Harlan it implies that both are much older then it seems

We also know that for a long while time did not work in nightvale, then it got restored and Tamika and Janice finally were shown growing up and all.. but we don't know if until time got fixed if it never worked since the beginning of nightvale (the city in the lore not the podcast) or if it stopped working one day for some reason and so we don't know for how long time didn't work in nightvale

All this to say, no matter his age Cecil is probably a lot older than he looks like and it's probably fair to say he may be around a hundred years old or more (the wiki says 100+ but there is no confirmation) but if we know for a fact that Abby and Cecil did grow up together then it means Abby is also around that age (and keep in mind she's the older one). It strongly implied Cecil isn't aware of this whole age aspect, mainly due to his amnesia.. But we also know that Abby is a lot more self aware of reality, so she is probably at least somewhat aware that she is a lot older than she looks like.. How do you think she feels about it? How was it for her to live so long? How was that conversation with Steve (bc ik she'd never hide that from him)? Does this mean Steve is into older women?

We know that Earl Harlan is probably in a similar situation age wise, is it the case for anyone else? Are they so old because of the time not working? Is it something else? There is so much to speculate and think about and idk if we'll ever get answers

There's A Bomb | Jay Halstead

Request: Jay falling in love with Voight's daughter.

Pairing: Jay Halstead x Voight!Reader

Author's note: Requests are open. (The moment with a bomb was inspired on episode from "The Flash" when Joe saved Cecile.)

Your dad was always worried about you, especially when you told him that you want to be a cop like him. First he didn't approve your decision, but when he saw you graduating the police academy, he knew that it's your right path. He wanted to keep you safe and close, at least he could do that, so he brought you to Intelligence. You were happy there since day one, it was your dream to watch him catching bad guys.

He partnered you with Erin, because he trusted her the most, like you. She wasn't from Voight's family, but she was like sister to you, she knew everything about you.

But after few years it was her time to go and she moved. You took it hard, just like Jay, who wanted to propose to her. You weren't close with him, but the pain he had was very similar to yours. After she left, Voight partnered you with him and Hailey, the new girl, was now a partner to Kim.

Cases that involved drugs were your favorite. Going undercover, to make a deal, that was your favorite part of the job. You were the best in this and you were happy to do it every time. But when kids are involved... This hits just different. You usually took it very personal, it was just too hard to see them working for those bastards.

"Okay guys, we've got a case involving drugs and a murder of mob boss. I think we all know who that is, Alejandro Cortez. 32 years old, he's chasing by police and FBI for 2 years. He killed his own wife, then mob boss, two murders with a bomb. One pinned to the car, the second one in club. He's hiding since then, we can't reach him." Kevin pinned his photo to the board and gave you files about the case."But, we know that his niece was taken from her family and we all think that he took her, because he wants to take a revenge on his brother for turning him to the police."

"All of this because he's angry? And why the kid?" you asked.

"We don't know yet. She's missing for 4 days and the people who saw the kidnapper described him. Description matches to Alejandro. They're living in Chicago, that means he's here and this might be our last chance to get him." you sat on your desk and started to look into the files.

"Hey, you okay?" Jay asked you. Before nodding to him, you brushed his hand with your fingers and smiled at him. He was always caring about you in cases like this, you were so thankful for him. "Let me know if you need anything."

"Y/N? Can we talk?" your dad asked.

"Sure." you walked into his office and closed doors.

"I'm worried about you. If you want I can take you off the case." he said.

"I'm fine, really. It's just... I don't understand some things, I need to figure them out. Don't worry." you hugged him and went back to your desk.

The tension was thick, everyone were working on the case, while Jay was trying to figure out his feelings. He couldn't talk to anyone about this, because they knew that person, especially he couldn't talk about it with you.

God, he wished that you noticed how much he adored you. He stood up and walked to your desk.

"Y/N? Y/N?" he tapped your shoulder.

"Hmm?" you muttered.

"You kinda zoned out, I brought you some coffee."

"Thanks. Do you want to go with me and check on this woman who saw Alejandro? I don't want to go there alone." you asked.

"Of course, partner."

You drove in silence, Jay was watching you the whole ride. He loved to look at your smile, eyes, when you tried to be serious, but he always made you smile and laugh. He trusted you like no one, he could put his life in your hands, because he knew that you'll help him no matter what.

"Chicago PD." you said and knocked on the doors.

"What do you want?" a woman appeared and looked so scared.

"Sophia? We're from Chicago Police Department, I'm detective Halstead and this is detective Voight. We wanted to ask you few questions."

"There's no need to, I already spoke with police." she answered.

"We know, but we wanted to ask about description you gave us. Are you sure that this was the guy?" you showed her a picture.

"Yes, definitely. Now leave me alone." she said and walked away, then closed the doors.

"I think she won't say us more." you laughed and made your way to the truck.

"Yeah Adam, what's up?" Jay said, answering his phone.

"We've got a possible location where Alejandro can be, go and check this place."

"Alright, let's go." Jay said.

"5021 Frank, detective Y/N Voight, we're heading to a possible location where our suspect can be. Plain clothes officers on the scene, roll a backup and ambo."

"Copied 5021 Frank, sending a backup and ambo."

"Do you think he's gonna be there?" Jay asked you.

"I don't know, I just hope to find his niece sooner than him so I could kick his ass after. I mean, she's a kid... How can he do that?" you answered. Jay looked at you worried. After few minutes you were on the scene.

"Take the back, we're going from the front." you said to officers who were there already.

"I'm coming in." Jay went first, you right after him.

"I'm covering you." you pulled your gun low, until you noticed blood on the carpet. "Blood." you both raised your gun and checked the first floor.

"Stairs." Jay said and again you followed him.

"You heard that?" the sound reminded you a cry.

"Chicago PD! Alejandro, put your gun down and come out!" Jay yelled. "Let your niece go first!"

"Stop! Stop!" you looked at Jay confused.

"Alejandro, if you won't come out we'll come for you" he yelled again.

"Wait, it's not him." you looked at Jay and nodded over the mirror where you saw a little girl tied up, sitting on the chair.

"Please, it's gonna blow!" you hid your gun and walked into the room while Jay was calling for a bomb squad.

"Hey, what's your name?" you asked her.

"Lauren." she cried so hard. You needed to calm her down when you saw a bomb pinned to the chair.

"Okay Lauren, I need you to sit there carefully, don't move, okay? We'll get you out of here."

"He said that he's gonna make them suffer!" she yelled.

"Jay? Call for a backup, send them to her parents." you knew that at this point he wanted to kill all of her family, to make them suffer, especially this little girl. "It's gonna be okay. I'm gonna check on timer right now okay?"

"Mhm." she calmed a little. 6 minutes you saw. You knew what kind of bomb was that. Jay told you his stories when he was in the army, you knew more than he thought.

"Y/N? What are you doing? Let's go, bomb squad will help her!" Jay showed up in the room, watching your actions.

"It will be too late. Hey, Lauren. I need you to switch places with me on 3 okay?" you looked at her, she nodded slowly.

"You've got to be kidding me! You want yourself killed?"

"Jay! Just let me do my job. It has 5 minutes timer now, when she'll stand, it's gonna run down, we won't be able to get out of there and they'll be too late. I'm gonna sit there to stop it from going down fast."

"Y/N, please..." he walked closer and hugged you.

"On 3 Lauren. 1... 2... 3..." you pushed her to Jay and sat on the chair. You looked at the timer. 3 minutes left.

"Take her out, I'll stay on the line." you said.

"5021 George, I'm going out with a hostage. Detective Voight will stay on the line." he felt tears in his eyes. He let go her hand and went outside. Lauren went to the ambo to get checked out.

"Halstead, what the hell? Where's Y/N?" Voight asked him.

"She switched places with Lauren, she's holding out the timer."

"Y/N?" Voight spoke.

"D-dad, I'm fine. Just tell the squad to come here asap."

"They're 6 minutes out."

"Well... We've 2." you said.

"I'm calling them." Jay said. He put them on the line to speak to you.

"Y/N, we need you to say how this looks like."

"Well, it has a timer and 3 colors inside. Black, white and blue."

"Okay, that means he used the same bomb as on the vehicle. You need to stay calm and carefully remove the blue one." they instructed you. Your hands were shaking, eyes were blinded and your heart was pounding so hard.

"Okay, yeah, I'll do it." you took a deep breath and take moved slowly to blue cable. You looked at the timer. It has stopped.

"Y/N? Y/N!" Jay was screaming to his radio, but you couldn't respond. You immediately stood up and went downstairs. Tears blurred your vision. You reached out to the doors and opened them. All the members looked at you relieved. "Shit." he said and run to you.

At this point you were crying. He took you in his arms, softly stroking your hair.

"I can't breathe." you choked.

"Easy honey, easy. It's the adrenaline rush, everything is okay." he hugged you tighter.

You had still covered your face with your hands. They were shaking so bad. Jay tried to calm you down, so he took them from your face and kissed."Come on, I'm taking you home." he held you close and went with you to Hank.

"Oh god Y/N! What were you thinking out there?!" now he was the one holding you.

"I was doing my job, I needed to help her." you said as you felt something hugging you from the side. Lauren held your hand hard and cried.

"Thank you, thank you. I wanna be strong as you! I'll be a cop one day!" she was full of energy, she didn't realise what just happened, she was only 8 years old after all... And that fact was making you sick. That little girl almost died because of payback.

"I'm so glad you're okay baby. Go to see your mom." you pointed at police car, who just arrived.

"Hey, you sure you're fine?" Jay asked you when Hank left to speak with Lauren's mom.

"I just want to go home." he nodded at went with you to his truck.

You held Jay's hand the whole ride to your home.

"Can you go upstairs with me? I need someone right now... Also, I have your favorite beer." you smiled.

"Yeah, I'll take that beer." he answered and followed you to your apartment.

You closed the door and went to the kitchen. Taking a beer, you noticed Jay standing in the hallway, looking at the picture frame with you and him. You put the beer down and walked to him. He turned to face you, when you hungrily kissed his lips. The kiss was so desperate, but at the same time filled with passion and love. He put his hands on your back, bringing you closer. When you couldn't catch a breath, you pulled back.

"I love you. I love you so freaking much. I think about you day and night, if you're okay, if you slept enough. When I pushed Lauren into your way... I knew that I'll always want you to be the one who won't leave my side Jay. I want you to be here. Right here, with me." he pulled you into hug, just like before. It was different than the others time when he was with you. This time, there was a real love between you two.

"Y/N, you don't know how happy I am right now. You saved me so many times, you're my little miracle. I was so afraid to tell you that, but now I wish I could say it earlier. Holding you in my arms is the best thing in the world and I'll always be here for you baby. I love you." he kissed your forehead and took you to the couch. You sat next to him and covered you with blanked.

He couldn't stop thinking about how lucky he was to have you. You were his light.

Never Make Fudge on A Rainy Day

Based on the beautiful work of art done by @whiny-top-alligned. Seriously y'all. Go check out that page. Trust me.

 “Carlooooosssss!!!!” Cecil whines, sliding off the couch and onto the carpet.

Carlos looks up from his book. “Yes dear?” He asks, looking back down at his book, turning the page.

“I’m hungryyyyy!”

“Go make something to eat then.” Carlos bites his lip to conceal a smile, fighting back laughter.

“I want you to make me something.” Cecil sits up. “Please?”

Carlos doesn’t answer. He just turned the page again. Cecil huffs and gets up off the floor, flopping across Carlos’ lap. Carlos just moves his book so his arms were resting across Cecil's back.

“Carlossss! I'm starvingggg!”

Carlos marks his page and closes the book with a chuckle. “And what would you like me to make you? Hm?”

Cecil perks up. “Fudge?"

Carlos glances out the window, at the soft rain pelting the window. “It’s raining.”

“So?” Cecil asks, turning over and looking up into Carlos’ face. He reaches up and idly plays with the ends of Carlos’ hair. He gives a lazy smile and tugs a little.

“You can’t make fudge when it rains or snows. It won’t set.” Carlos explains. “All bakers know that.”

“But I’m hungry.”

“Well what if I made something else instead?”

Cecil shoots up, twisting his torso around and straddling Carlos’ hips. He nearly tumbled into the floor in the process, but the light skinned man’s eyes were bright.

“Ceec-” Carlos yelps, dropping the book to take ahold of Cecil’s hips. “Sit still before you knock us both down.”

Cecil just ignores him. “Brownies?”

Carlos knew he couldn’t say no to Cecil but he wondered if he could draw this out.

“Hmmm….”

“Please?” Cecil begs. “I’m going to waste away!”

“You could always eat a sandwich.”

Cecil gasped loudly. “I don’t want a sandwich! I want something sweet. Please? Please? Please? Oh please Carlos?” He starts to squirm. “Please?”

Carlos smiles and silences the host with a kiss. “I can’t say no to you. Get up so I can go cook.”

Cecil slides backwards again and landed on the floor with a soft ‘oof’. Carlos chuckles and offers a hand.

“Come keep me company.” He says, pulling Cecil up.

“I can’t help?”

“No. You cannot. Because you are a disaster in the kitchen and I don’t want you getting hurt.”

Cecil gives a pout but follows nonetheless.

Carlos leaves Cecil to settle at the counter while he pulls his hair up and washes his hands. He then reaches under the counter for a bowl and a baking pan.

“Carlos?”

“Hm?” Carlos looks over at him from the fridge.

“How exactly do ovens work?”

Carlos sets the butter down and looks over at his husband. “Well, When you first set the temperature on the electric oven with either the mechanical dial or electronic control, the bottom heating element is activated. There is a copper wire that connects the temperature control to the oven box that reads the temperature and can make appropriate adjustments. As the heating element increases its temperature beyond the setting, power to the element is cut, and the temperature decreases until it reaches the level indicated by the dial. An electronic-temperature gauge does essentially the same thing, only the temperature-detecting rod sends a signal to a circuit board, automatically adjusting the interior temperature. The heating elements do not move. They consist of wires surrounded by metal sheaths. Electrical power heats the wires, which in turn heats the metal surrounding them. Convection ovens have a fan to blow the hot air around inside the oven. Some electric ovens may include a convection feature that you can use alternatively when you wish” He explains, cutting the butter.

He leaves the butter long enough to preheat the oven and line and spray the baking pan before looking back at Cecil. The blond had a dopey smile on his face, chin resting on his palm.

“You okay there love?”

“I love it when you talk science.” Cecil sighs happily.

Carlos laughs. “You’re adorable.”

“You make me melt.”

“Sap.” Carlos shakes his head as he started to break up the baker’s chocolate. He puts it in the bowl with the butter and puts it in the microwave for two minutes. He then pulls it out and back to the counter before adding the rest of the ingredients, folding carefully. The he felt bony arms around his waist and lips against the back of his neck.

“Cecil.” Carlos squirms a little.

“Pay attention to me.” Cecil purrs.

“I have been paying attention to you.”

Cecil nips at Carlos’ earlobe. “You’ve been multitasking. I want your full attention now.”

“Cecil, I’m trying to bake. To make you the brownies you so desperately needed.”

“Carlosss….” Cecil whines, moving his hands up to rest over Carlos’s heart.

“Do you want brownies or my attention?”

“Both.” Cecil whines again. He pulls his arms away and draps them over Carlos’ shoulders, going limp.

Carlos grunts with the added weight on his shoulders. “Ceec- You- could you get  off of me? I need to finish this.”

“Pay attention to  me!”

Carlos puts the spoon down and turns around, picking Cecil up. Cecil squeals in surprise and clings to Carlos. Carlos crosses the room and deposits Cecil into a chair.

“Car-”

“Stay here until I tell you to move or you won’t get any brownies and I’ll go back to my book.”

Cecil pouts but slumps back. “Prude.”

“Behave or I’ll leave you here.” Carlos says, crossing the room and going back to the batter.

“Fine. But you owe me.”

“Whose fault is it that I’m standing here doing this?” Carlos holds up his spoon.

“It’s your fault for showing me you can bake.”

Carlos puts the spoon in the sink with a loud clang, making Cecil jump a little. Carlos smirked, looking over before starting to pour the batter into the baking pan and sliding it into the over. He sets a timer before making his way back to Cecil. He presses a kiss to Cecil’s lips, just deep enough to leave a promise of more.

“We have twenty-four minutes.” Carlos announces. “Is that enough time to make it up to you?”

“Well,” Cecil pulls him close again. “It's a start.”
