#Interactions: Leslie

[grayxstratford]

Running was something Grayson always loved, she loved the burn in her lungs, the pounding of her heart in her ears while she pushed her body to be the best it could be. She had started to run along the beach, the sand made it harder to step, which burned more calories, and she liked the way her legs burned after her run, she was really looking forward to being strong enough for it to stop hurting soon. She was running her usual path one day, between the houses and the beach, when she saw two dogs wandering around the beach. She figured their owner was going to be close by, and she slowed down to a jog, but when she realized she didn’t see anyone around she stopped and looked at the dogs, one of whom seemed a little shyer than the other. “Well, what are you two doing out here?” she asked the friendlier dog as she knelt down and was immediately met by kisses and jumping. “Okay, okay,” she sighed and then grabbed the dog by the collar. She read the address on the collar and then looked around. “I think that’s close,” she mumbled before pulling her phone out and looking it up. It was just a five minute walk, so she stood up and sighed as she looked at the dogs. They could probably make it home on their own, if they could make it five minutes one way they could definitely do it another way, and she was about to run off and just leave them, but as she started to jog again, she was surprised when they started to follow her. 

“Oh come on!” she said as she looked at them. “Go on, shoo, go home,” Gray said as she waved her hands, the friendlier of the two gave a little bark and jumped around, obviously thinking this was some sort of game. She sighed darkly and then looked at her phone. “Fine, you know what, fuck it,” she said before starting to jog again. She checked to make sure the dogs were following every couple feet, and they were, hell they were keeping pace with her, so when she got to their house she opened the gate to the front and watched as the dogs ran right in. At least it seemed like it was the right place. Gray jogged up to the house and knocked on the door, holding the collar of the friendlier dog so that the owner wouldn’t think she was just some random girl coming over to knock on their door for no reason. When the door opened she gave the owner a heavy sigh. “Lose something?” she asked dryly.

Walking over to Leslie’s was a bit of a walk from the treehouse, but it was on the way from school, so stopping by had never been a problem. Sure he’d been a little busy lately, he’d been doing some renovations to the treehouse, making the railing... Exist. And sturdy enough to lean against, but mostly existing. He was also redoing the wall around the outdoor shower, and fixing the plumbing, so it had been a time consuming project, but no excuses, he was going to see Leslie today. 

When he got to the house he hopped over the fence easily, grinning as the dogs ran up to him. “What’s up my little ankle biters?” he asked as he knelt down and pet them both as they shoved at each other for his attention. “Hey- Artie, be nice to your brother,” he said before he stood up and walked up to the front door. The main door was open and the screen was closed so he rapped on it a few times before opening the door. “Anyone in?” he called into the house. “Anyone order some Monteith’s? Because I got a couple cases with your name on it!”

Mama Ann & Little April

Moodboard & explaining images & Headcanons!!! Gift for you :D - @cryingatwindermerepeaks (Adi this was so funnn hence also explaining images😅)

Moodboard:

Explaining (top to bottom, left to right)

April IS baby bat. And a teething baby bat she will put anything and everything into her mouth. Ann always has to keep her eyes on her but when it’s around Ron? Ann is overprotective as heck because April once put a grenade shell in her mouth when she was really little.

Anns facial expression? The exact face April gets when she whines about not wanting to have to go to bed or wanting to play with Andy.

Ann loves to write little notes for April and hides them around both Ann and Aprils house (later in the show w/ Andy & Ben) and the parks department sometimes!!

I’ve said this before but April loves scooby doo therefore scoping snacks so Ann has some at all times and it’s one of the easiest ways to convince her to behave

my explanation for this little image is secretly clingy April & just look at that it’s adorable

Aprils favorite movie is Coraline & asks for it every movie night. This movie just seems so on brand for her and she quotes it to Ann on a normal basis.

April absolutely has non verbal episodes and therefore Ann found a Yes, Maybe, No button for her to use.Definitely inspired by that bluey episode

April just looks adorable here with the sweater paws and her hair that’s my main explanation here

Ann is Prepared with a capital P. She is a nurse she knows how to handle things that come out of nowhere so she always has a bag for April!

Headcanons:

🩺🦇: April and Andy are best friends and they have a little band for when they’re little and Ann and Ben and Leslie and even Ron all show up for their mini concerts.

🩺🦇: April loves to listen to music when she’s little and/or overstimulated and so Ann convinced Andy to make clean versions of his songs for her.

🩺🦇: On a similar note just like the written messages Ann leaves audio messages for Ann!!

🩺🦇: on days when Ann has long nursing shifts and April is little April sets up a little fort with Andy (big or little) while Leslie babysits and they play in the fort until Ann gets home and she and April cuddle.

🩺🦇: CLINGY APRIL! This is dear to me and April refuses to admit it but she loves clinging to her mama! Sometimes it’s just been a long day and she needs Mama and a switch game.

🩺🦇: there are times when April insists shes a big girl and goes to do something scary or something that will make her anxious in littlespace and Ann has to gently and quickly divert away from it.

🩺🦇: When April is big and clearly needs to be little April makes her a little nest with scooby snacks and a tablet and a few picture books and a sippy cup and her pacifier. April will reluctantly sit on her lap and Ann will coo and praise her and April slips very quickly.

🩺🦇: April babbles in Spanish and slips between that and English when she’s small and Ann has been doing duolingo and learning it ever since they started their dynamic.

🩺🦇: April loves oversized clothes and especially sweaters. What does she love more than that? Ann’s sweaters. 8/10 times Ann’s ‘missing sweaters’ are with April. (2/10 times they’re with Leslie). But they smell like Ann and April adores it.

I finally finished!! Sorry this was so long it was just so fun!!

@lightning-arias liked for a starter from Rob

Something's off with Leslie, and Rob can tell. He's not sure of the specifics—hell, he's not even close—but it's clear she isn't herself. The sharp wit, the creative spark, the things that made her such an intriguing collaborator—all of it seems to be dimming, leaving behind someone he barely recognizes: A pretty face with nothing much going on upstairs, and the industry already has more than enough of those.

So, when he gets a call from an unknown number explaining what's happened, he's floored, shocked, relieved, and trying not to think too hard about the logistics of body swapping (assuming that's even a thing). Still, he'd tested her with questions only the real Leslie would know, and she'd passed with flying colors.

By the end of the call, he's made a promise: He'll take advantage of the long weekend coming up and make his way to Virginia.

They agree that they'll meet at a café downtown, somewhere neutral, the day he arrives. Getting there first, Rob orders himself a drink and tries not to overthink what he's getting himself into.

When she arrives, it's… surreal. The girl standing before him looks a lot like Leslie, but not quite. Different enough to set his nerves on edge.

But then she speaks, and her attitude sells it immediately.

"I have—so many questions."

Also a lesbian means female homosexuality. That’s it . Not non-men or whatever the fuck you gendershits tried to change it to. Y’all don’t get to redefine a sexual orientation as you see fit. It has and always will be FEMALE HOMOSEXUALITY.

I blocked anon, but let me get one last thing fucking clear. “Female homosexuality” aka lesbianism includes trans women and nonbinary people. Always has, always will. I guess you gotta tell this person:

You gotta tell this person, aka Leslie Feinberg, a butch lesbian pioneer and “filthy TRA” according to you, that ze isn’t a lesbian 💀

Trans and nonbinary lesbians have always been included in lesbianism, it’s TERFs like you that are actively trying to erase that. Anywaysss, I’m about to make blackout poetry from this and live my best fagd*ke tr*nny life cause I’m going on T in literally less than two days, stay salty Mrs. Joanne 🖕🏼

quick shoutout to ben wyatt for talking about his love for calzones at every single available opportunity yet somehow avoiding having the fandom make that his only character trait

[minminambus]

And re: more socializing: I’ve been… able to verbalize my whole queerness… Multiple times already this semester. I don’t think I ever could have predicted that for myself.

Les, happy Valentine’s Day mate, I’m looking forward to seeing you soon, thanks for letting me set up on your hammock when Cassie’s bringing girls home, it’s not easy being the cool dad, but friends like you make it much easier. Come round sometime and we’ll do a dinner, it’ll be nice. Gotta get all the kiwis together, it’ll feel like home again.

@sgarrigh psps'd irial || starter call

&&&. "I love what you've done with the place," Irial drawls from his artful sprawl on the couch. Both tone and posture elegantly dance the knife edge of plausible deniability as to whether or not he is being genuine. "It really says... I am my own King."

There's a pause as the former regent runs his tongue over his teeth, tasting the words as he lolls his head toward Niall with a languid grin. "Are you comforted? Our little Shadow Girl suggested I try being less abrasive if I want you to indulge me. She said I should try a compliment."

Regressuary Fic #1

@regressuary thank you for the bingo board!!

@cryingatwindermerepeaks @aggies-little-duck

Bingo: Comfort, no hurt TW: General anxiety

Word count: 1k

General info: Parks and Recreation, Mama Ann & Little April

As Ann walked through the halls making her way to the parks department for the the 10th time that week alone she checked her bag again. It wasn’t her fault her anxiety was taking over; she had gotten a text from April that simply said ‘Mama :(‘ She saw the black blanket in her purse and relaxed a bit more before walking into the department. She glanced around and didn’t see April but she was quickly bombarded by a hug from Leslie. One glance down at her outfit and noticing Ron’s careful eye on her she can tell Leslie is little.

“Hey sweetie” Ann murmured her eyes still flitting around searching for April “have you see April perchance?” She asked and Leslie’s face crumpled. “Oh she um she got she” Leslie stumbled over her words and Ann raised an eyebrow usually this happened when Leslie was excited but not now. “Leslie? Sweetie? Where’s April?” Ann asked a hint of urgency creeping into her tone. “Don know” Leslie finally admitted and Ann froze if Leslie didn’t know than Andy must.

Ann gently pried Leslie off of her guiding her back towards Ron before booking it to the shoe shining station. Where she found Andy sitting on one of the chairs and bobbing his head to one of his band's songs playing through his earbuds. “Andy” she said tapping his shoulder and he jumped “where’s April?” She tapped her foot, her eyes flicking back to her purse. “She walked past here and it was kinda weird she didn’t say hi or pretend to slit my throat or anything just kept walking. She looked kinda upset but I figured it was just one of her April moods y’know?” Andy explained and Ann nodded slowly.

Ann walked back to the elevator trying hard to stay calm as she messed with the straps of her purse. She clicked the button for the fourth floor and made her way up. When she arrived at the floor she was walking out quickly and making her way to the back finding the area of desks that April had claimed as her hide out when she and Andy had come exploring. Sure enough she found April underneath one of the desks sucking on her sleeve and looking exhausted. “Oh ‘pril” Ann murmurs, holding her hands out to coax April out. “Mama” April said her head snapping up “came” she added as she somewhat reluctantly crawled out from under.

“Of course I did baby bat” Ann replied with a smile as she brushed away the faint tear marks on her cheeks. April sniffled and buried her face into Ann’s neck “I know you’re not feeling good right now with your big feelings but let’s let mama see your face and get you comfy cozy okay?” Ann cooed as she slowly walked back to the elevator. “I think the button is a little too hard for me to push ‘pril…hmm do you think my little girl could do it?” She asks and April peeks her head out to nod and gently push the floor button.

“Is being around people going to be too much?” Ann asks and April quickly nodded “we’ll go out to the courtyard if that’s okay?” April nodded again and Ann felt a small pang of worry. She was used to April being quiet but this time felt different. She walked them out to the courtyard and set April down just to hear a small whine “one second love” she murmured as she pulled out the blanket and her baby bat pacifier. She wrapped April in the blanket and offered the pacifier before pulling out the yes/maybe/no button for her. 

April was completely relaxed in the blanket now as she sucked on her pacifier and clutched the button. Ann took a quick stealthy picture before putting her phone down and tugging April down onto her lap. “Do you wanna talk about it?” She asked softly into her ear as she undid April's messy ponytail. Ann kept a careful eye on the button as the maybe button lit up. “Did someone hurt you?” She asked and suppressed anger buzzed through her veins even at the thought of someone hurting April.

The no button lit up but Ann noticed April's tension “Do you not wanna talk about it anymore?” She asked, taking a quick guess and the Yes button lit up. She cradled her girl on her lap adjusting the swaddling and just listened to the suckling of aprils pacifier. She pulled out a tablet from the bag and opened up April's favorite cartoon “I don’t want you just swirling around in your head baby bat” she explained when April gave her a questioning look. She had already used her screen time before work and unfortunately Ann had been switching out the books like she did every two weeks and only had one left in there and it was too big for her baby right now.  

After almost an hour of the cartoon playing while Ann just comforted April and played with her hair, April looked up. “Messed up wif Ron I did some works wrong n was aleady bad day cause fogot I was pposed get Andy coffe n me too n I think made him sad” April explained softly looking ashamed as her eyes brimmed with tears. “That’s what’s being swirling around your head all day baby?” Ann asked cupping the younger girls chin with a gentle smile and April nodded sniffling again.

“Oh baby, I bet Ron isn’t mad. He probably didn’t even want to do that work. And Andy adores you in fact he was worried about you” Ann says, pressing a small kiss to her girl's forehead. And April's eyes widened before melting into Ann. Her pacifier bobbed in and out and it seems like just a few words from her mama made her relax.

 “We’ll go talk to them in a little bit, okay baby bat?” Ann whispered as she watched April's eyes droop and April nodded “good” she mumbled “gotta makes sure.” Then she was popping her head up as if she hadn’t been half asleep “then can Andy n I haf our concert? N if Leslie still little her too?” She asked and Ann chuckled softly “if uncle Ben says it’s okay. And Mr. Ron” she added and April nodded contentedly. She snuggled into her blanket and mama before drifting off to sleep the pacifier moving in and out as Ann watched over her.
