⍠this fic has a soundtrack! touch by keshi uhhhhhh somebody by keshi aahhhhhhh

Oh, he's really done it now.
Walking around some lively street corner a few blocks away from your shared apartment building, Joshua leads the two of you through downtown NYC at the height of spring. Strangers pass by your lovestruck duo without a second glance, not bothering to watch you look back at him with a borderline absurd amount of fondness in your irises. It's funny; usually Joshua wouldn't give spring a chance when it came to stating his favorite season, but since you waltzed into his life, he can confidently say that any of them are worthwhileâas long as you're with him. He squeezes your hand for what feels like the millionth time this evening, an action that makes you giggle happily to yourself.
Because you find it cute.
Oh, how you have no idea at all.
How tortuous this night has been for Joshua. How he regrets the day that he walked into that fateful department store, not looking for anything in particular but coming to a full stop in front of a specific mannequin. How he mentally patted himself on the back for remembering your size when you opened the gift bag a few hours earlier, eyes alight in excitement as you pulled out the present, letting the fabric unroll in your fingertips. How his face heated up as you opened your apartment door, and he quickly noted how the mannequin did the dress no justice.
Truthfully, if the dress looked as good on the mannequin as it did on you, he would have never taken it off the rack. He'd know better.
Because all through dinner he had to stop himself from staring at you and the slope of your neck, broken up by the thin straps of the halter dress and abandoned by your hair that was conveniently(to his demise) in an updo, to show off the open back. Luckily, you were so delighted by the Greek restaurant that you'd picked out that you hardly noticed his deepening flush, or the way he nearly downed his white wine in one go the second the server left your table.
And now, as you swing his hand and practically run up the stairs(because the elevator is broken, again), he finds himself almost dreading the night ahead. It's a Thursday, which means self care and Greyâs Anatomy, and while he would never turn down spending time with you, being that close to you for a prolonged period of time after the night he's had would be borderline masochistic.
Of course he contemplates all of this, but in reality, Joshua Hong can never say no to you.
So you unlock the door to your home, blabbering on about something that had happened at work and completely oblivious to the way that your boyfriend is eyeing you, torn between running towards you and running across the hall to get a grip on himself.
âJohnny went off at a customer yesterday,â you chuckled, crossing the room to set your purse down on the kitchen table. âThey were being so rude, and over spilled milk tooâthrowing a fit over where we get our coffee beans imported fromââ
You yelp in surprise, followed by a giggle at the feeling of Joshuaâs hands encircling your waist from behind. His head settles in the space on your shoulder, but not before leaving a light kiss to the exposed skin of your neck.
âHi,â you greet him, hands coming up to hold onto his forearms as you try to decipher the reason for this sudden display of affection.
âHi,â he sighs, nose nudging against your pulse point, âDid I ever tell you how stunning you look in that dress?â
âNo, I must have misheard you the first fifty times.â
He laughs at your little jab, willing his hands to stay still despite his growing desire to let them wander. You make the terrible decision to turn just enough so you can look at him, and it's this position that puts Joshua at his most vulnerable.
âReady to wrap up season five?â
Looking up at him the way that you are paired with your slightly parted lips and flushed demeanor, Joshua finds himself at a loss for words, instinctively leaning into your face as his restraint wears thin. And your unfazed and accepting disposition makes it that much worse for him, his breath shaking as you flutter your eyes shut and part your lips.
The first touch of his lips is familiar, his kiss walking the line between mind-numbingly sweet and devastatingly tender as one of his hands comes up to lift your jaw. But instead of pulling away like he had originally intended, he presses harder against your mouth with a small sigh, unable to find any logical objection to the change of plans.
Your giggly demeanor fizzles out under the heat of his mouth, and your breath escapes you once his hand slides down to your neck, fingers languidly tracing the curve and playing with the straps that rest there. In contrast to his slow hands, his kisses grow faster and almost desperate, not wanting to separate for even a second as he tilts his head and slants his mouth against yours.
You stumble backwards slightly in pleasant surprise, and the table hits just above the hem of your skirt before the arm around your waist tightens, pulling you further into Joshuaâs chest.
He takes this opportunity to lean forward slightly, clearing the table with a sweep of the arm that was holding you before hoisting you up onto it, hands firm on your thighs and then sliding down to your knees so he can part them.
âJosh,â you whisper breathlessly, clutching onto his shoulders as your eyes dazedly flicker between his lips and his eyes. His lower lip gets trapped between his teeth as his strength falters, gaze hardly able to meet yours as his fingers dance along the scalloped hem of your dress.
âOh God, don't do that baby,â he nearly moans, and the pet name turns your brain waves into radio static. You've never heard him sound so helpless, as if his very fate would be decided by whatever you choose to say next. âYou make it so hard to just sit and watch TV with you sometimes. Especially when you look like this.â
Knowing now that you have the upper hand, you decide to humor yourself and tease him a bit, leaning forward with a slight smirk on your lips. âLike what?â
His eyes drink you in from head to toe, taking their time to memorize all of your body lines in the flattering dress. If the opportunity were to present itself tonight, he doesn't know whether he would even want to take it off of you.
He leans in close, hoping that his desire translates well as it's mumbled against the skin of your neck.
âSo damn good.â
His confession against your sensitive skin has you muffling a whine, gripping the edge of the table as your rationale evaporates under his searing lips, traveling higher and higher with each press.
You can't take his teasing much longer, and frankly, this side of him doesn't come out often enough for you to pass up an opportunity such as this. Meredith Grey will have to wait.
âYou knowâŚâ you whisper, head tilting back as you feel his hand slipping behind your neck to support it, âthey play reruns on Friday nights too.â
âThank God, âcause you in this dress has been driving me crazy since you put it on,â he chuckles against your lips before catching them with his again, taking his time now to fully taste you, swiping his tongue along your bottom lip to elicit that delightful shiver that runs up your spine. You respond in earnest with your hands, carding through his brown locks and nearly melting when he doesn't suppress the groan that tumbles from his throat.
He kisses you like youâre air itself, hands sliding up your skirt and body pressing against yours, and once your nails slide down his scalp he softly groans into your mouth, moving onto kissing across your jawline. You repeat the action while winding your legs around Joshuaâs waist, and he whines quietly into your neck, âPleaseâŚtell me to stop before I canât.â
So subtly you almost miss it, he rolls his hips into yours, his desires clouding his judgment as a foreign sound jumps to the top of your throat. Immediately your attention is drawn to the heat you feel in your abdomen, and while you have grown accustomed to bearing it in silence, youâre finding it increasingly hard to ignore with him like this, hands all over you.
Wanting you.
He does it again, with a little more pressure this time, and your head falls back as a whimper just barely tumbles out of your lips. He shivers slightly, nearly overcome with the exertion of fighting every urge to take you on this table this instant.
To temporarily solve this problem, his lips find yours again, but feeling your muffled moans against him proves to be no more effective than trying to put out a forest fire with a garden hose.
As his hips softly grind into yours and your kisses get more and more frantic, your voice of reason pushes through the heavy cloud of lust at the forefront of your brain. âWait, I've neverââ
âWe don't have to baby,â he cuts you off, wanting to make his intentions clear despite being unable to put an inch of space between the two of you, âand I don't want to just yet, but IâŚâ
His hand that was previously bunched in your dress comes up to cradle your jaw, thumb brushing gently against the redness of your cheek as he calms himself down with a deep breath.
And as he gazes at you with nothing but adoration in his brown irises, you can almost feel the words coming before he says them out loud.
âIâŚI am so in love with you,â he begins, fighting a chuckle born out of the absurd location of this sudden confession, âthat sometimes, when I look at you, I canât even think straight, and IâŚâ he trails off, struggling to find the right words the longer he stares at you.
You, on the other hand, are practically beaming, bottom lip trapped by your teeth in an attempt to fight the smile youâd be flashing him, so as to not distract him any further. But you soon realize; with him seated between your legs, thereâs not much you can do to help him out here.
So you switch to offense, legs squeezing him tight around his waist to pull his hips back to yours. âYou what?â
His chocolate eyes darken to a coffee color in seconds, and the hand that was on your hip tightens again, keeping you firm in place on the table as you bat your eyelashes at him.
âSometimes I wish I could just show you how much you drive me crazy.â
You donât hesitate, lifting your chin to meet his lips in a deceptively chaste kiss as your hands fall onto the buttons on his shirt, playing with them just to rile him up further.
You shrug, feigning indifference. âMaybe you can.â
And at that, before you can even register whatâs happening, heâs sliding an arm around your waist and under your knees, picking you up and heading towards your bedroom with a chuckle.
âMaybe I should.â

A couple more draws based on the last few inktober 2023 prompts despite it being 2025 now. --- 25. Dangerous (Espio. feat Chain guy from Knuckles (TV) ) - Chaotix cases tend to vary in risk. From combing a park to find lost jewelry, to engaging in underground cage matches against armed and surprisingly adept opponents in order to follow a lead. The Chaotix won't let the prospect of danger stop them closing a case.
26. Remove (Shade) - Shade's retired her Nocturnus gear for something more suited to the life she's now living away from the Twilight Cage. 27. Beast (Trip and Team Sonic (feat. Fang)) - The gang's familiar enough with how Super forms via the Chaos Emeralds look to guess how Trip would look. Not like 'Super' Trip would be radically different than they'd expect, right? 28. Sparkle (Merna) -Merna the Merhog, denizen of Mertopia. Tasked with guarding the Tears of the Sea in the name of the Tides, from those, both Landlubber and sea-dweller, that would seek misuse the Secret of the Depths.
(Don't pay most of this 'lore' any mind, just making up some protagonistic stuff for the prompt)
29. Massive (Mighty and a puyo (feat. Coconuts)) - Mighty's about to drop the meanest bean anyone has ever seen! (Rip Coconuts)
30. Rush (Blaze (feat. Johnny)) - Meanwhile in the Sol dimension, on Pirates' Island, Blaze and Johnny match speed and firepower (Johnny got upgrades).
31. Fire (Wade (feat. Knuckles, Sonic, Elise and Mephiles)) - Say the line, Bart Wade. Also, guess it's up to Knuckles and Wade to step in, seeing as how Sonic is on indefinite hiatus by the looks of things.
---
Thanks to ChildofAura, BomBot2, Taranza3, Ud-the-Imp, lightyearpig and JonsterTronster, whose suggestions were used as the basis for these.

Do you know who my daddy is?
Captain price x Fem reader (single mom)
You brought your kid to the base, she has an important homework, talk about what mom/dad does at work. The little kid is in trouble and the best she can do to get out of the problem is lie about who her daddy is.
Warning: it's not very interesting but I had a lot of fun writing it. I like to think about Price having a daughter. Anyway, as usual, grammatical and spelling errors. Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters nor do I claim to own them. I do not own any of the images used nor do I claim to own them.

- hey my little sunshine! how was your day?
- it was fine, I have homework though.
- oh, what is it?
- I have to talk about your work, what you do and things like that.
- Oh well, I have to talk with my superior and let him know that you will go with me for a few hours just to see what we do, ok?
- Okay
That was the small conversation with your kid, she was very excited to go with you, you talked her a little bit about your comrades and your very handsome captain, she made fun of you for the way you talked about Price and sang ÂŤMommy and the captain, sitting on a tree giving little kisses and falling in love...Âť, of course you warned her to not say that at the base, as every kid, she thinks your job is full of action and adrenaline, because that's what she watches on tv, she certainly wasn't expecting to see you writing reports and reading files, attending some calls, just like you're doing right now.
Price was very kind to let you bring her today, he also told you to give her a small tour around the place to make it more exciting, your poor girl is dying of boredom sitting in the chair of your office, observing the ceiling and the light over your heads.
- I'm sorry darling, we will give the tour as soon as I finish this report, okay?
- I thought we would fight against bad people or that you would show me guns, this is so boring!!!!!
- Honey, making all this paperwork is also a way to fight against bad people, also very important.
- B-O-R-I-N-G...
You sighed, certainly it's not the funniest activity but you needed to finish it as soon as possible, a knocking on your door was perfect to interrupt your girl's complaints, Gaz appeared with a small bag of candies.
- I heard you brought a mini you today, I wanted to say hi.
- Oh Kyle, thanks, come in, this is my daughter (____). Honey this is my friend Kyle, be nice and say hi.
Your girl smiled at Gaz and took the small bag, she started to eat some jelly beans and talked for a few minutes with Kyle.
- (...) And now I'm here! Bored!
- I already say Sorry like a thousand times baby!!!
- I can take her to give a walk while you finish... just if you want (y/n)
- that would be great, I will finish soon I promise!
- YEAH! LET'S GO KYLE!!!
Your daughter took Kyle's hand and left the office, you laughed and continued your work.
Gaz went to the common room so your daughter could say hi to Soap, Ghost and other soldiers. needless to say that your girl was enchanted to meet Soap who played with her and gave her a small gel blaster, both made a mess with those gel bubbles, Gaz and Soap were cleaning up while Ghost and your daughter were painting one of Ghost's skull old masks, but your daughter was impatient to be with you and see the rest of the place as you promised her, she took her opportunity to escape from the three men when Soap attacked Ghost with some of the gel bubbles that were still on his blaster, Gaz was recording so, none of them noticed when your daughter left the room.
ÂŤAh, Guys... Where's (_____)?Âť ÂŤShitÂť ÂŤWas Johnny's faultÂť
They started to look for her, while your daughter was walking unsure of where she was going, she brought the blaster that Soap gave to her and started to shoot and play, her fun ended when she accidentally shot a soldier in his eye. The guy saw her alone and started to try to scare her.
- Hey kid, Did you forget the way to the daycare? who gave you that toy? This is not a place for babies.
- I'm 6, I'm not a baby!
- Aren't you? Then, maybe I have to tell you that you can go to prison for what you did?
Your daughter really believed that, she started to feel nervous, she was in serious trouble, what would she do now?. This guy kneeled down in front of your daughter and smirked.
- What will you do now? Cry with your parents?
An idea popped up quickly to her mind.
- I won't get in trouble, Do you have a clue of who my daddy is?
- Do you know who my daddy is?, oh please tell me who's your father, dwarf, I will tell him you're being a troublemaker!
He imitated your daughter's voice.
- The Captain Price is my daddy! He will beat your ass if you don't let me go!
This soldier was ready to say something until someone appeared behind you, he stood up quickly and paled, the little girl thought it was Gaz or Soap who found her and arrived just in time to save her, until she heard the soldier said ÂŤCaptain!Âť, she paled too and looked behind her, a tall man was observing the soldier with a cold look.
- Is this young man bothering you, my dear?
- He says I will go to prison just because I was playing a little and I hit him by accident.
- I'm sorry Sir, I didn't know she was your daughter...
Price didn't act surprised by the soldier's comment, he continued looking at him and put a hand on your daughter's shoulder.
- Next time I see you bothering my daughter or anyone else, you will be In serious trouble. Do you understand?
- Yes Sir.
- Fine, now leave. Let's go my little princess.
Price kneeled down a little and carried your girl over his shoulders, he talked with her about your work and maybe, your girl talked about how you feel about him, on their way they found Ghost, Soap and Gaz running through the entire base looking for her.
Finally you finished your work and went to the common area to see if your daughter was there, on the way you noticed some soldiers were whispering and talking secretly while you were passing by but you tried to not pay much attention, you arrived to the common area and indeed there she was, she fell asleep on Soap's lap, who was sitting on a sofa.
- Hey y/n you found us!
- Sorry guys I had a lot of things to do, thank you to everyone for taking care of her.
ÂŤNo problemÂť ÂŤSoap is always here to helpÂť ÂŤit was your fault that we lost her!Âť
- You what??
- Don't worry, nothing happened to her, the Captain found her!
Before you could say something, Price caught your attention and asked you to go out with him to have a small conversation. You felt a lump in your throat and stomach, you felt you were in problems, as soon as you and Price were alone you started to apologize.
- I'm so sorry John, I mean, Captain, it won't happen again I can assure you that...
- Y/n, you're not in trouble.
- wha..?
- I was going to say, you have a sweet and smart daughter and... Very... chatterbox...
- Chatterbox?
- Yes, she said she was my daughter, and then she told me about... Some feelings you have.
- Oh...
- Oh...
You instantly started to try to fix and look for excuses.
- Sir, I'm... She's just a kid, she fantasizes a lot about her father and... Also she understood all I said in a different way, I'm really sorry Captain...
- I see, well y/n, you don't need to apologize, I understand she's just a kid, and as she's just a kid, tell me, who are we to ruin her fantasies about have a father?
He smiled mischievously at you, you were speechless, what the hell was happening?.
- Ah... Excuse me, what?
-Well, she's a brilliant girl and I always wanted to have a daughter and a very attractive wife. There are a lot of reasons to make this come true.
You're still processing all that is happening right now.
- Really?
Price took your hand and squeezed it softly, without losing eye contact with you.
- For sure, by example, everybody around the base is already talking about us and our little daughter and the other reason is that those feelings your daughter talked about, are mutual.
You couldn't say anything, you were lost in thoughts, but your silly smile was enough for Price to go a little bit further.
- So, if you allow me, I would like to take you to dinner tomorrow night. What do you think?
- I would like that, but who will take care of (____)?
He laughed a little and then simply said.
- I think Soap said he's always ready to help, no? And if you don't think he will be a good babysitter... well, I think your daughter has another two uncles that can help.
That definitely made you laugh loudly, Price looked at you with tenderness still waiting for an answer, then, after a few minutes of silence you nodded, that was the story of how you and your daughter won the Captain's heart and three new uncles for your little girl, it would be the story that your daughter would talk about in every opportunity she had.

⢠He has commentary too for every scene
⢠âwhat a fooking idiot.â
⢠His favorite Kardashian is Kris Jenner

⢠As your son gets older he gets interested in what his daddy does, & heâs infatuated with being a soldier
⢠Heâll play pretend soldier with Soap all the time
⢠Youâre constantly picking up Nerf darts
⢠When Soap is away on a mission, your son will crawl into bed with you because he misses his daddy
⢠He draws photos of him & the Task Force to send to overseas
⢠I also feel like yâallâs son would be incredibly helpful around the home especially when youâre expecting baby No. 2 & after baby No. 2 is born
⢠Baby No.2 is a little girl
⢠Heâs definitely very protective over his little girl
⢠âSheâs just as beautiful as you, Bonnieâ
⢠Yâallâs son would also enlist or commission to the British Military but I think heâd actually be a Kingâs Guard for a bit

â˘Heâd either fuck you on the hood of the car or the damn back seat in the parking lot
⢠He loves it when you wear his old PT shorts & no panties easy access
⢠He definitely loves you & your body & would know how to take care of you

GirlDad!Ghost and LovingHusband!Ghost
In honor of my pookie pie Swiss
Fem!user (aka youâre referred to as âwifeâ, âyouâ and âhis girlsâ are used and stuff)
The familiar sound of âCareless Whisper by George Michaelâ is playing rather loudly from the TV in the living room, Simon quietly entered the foyer, taking his shoes off and setting his bags down onto the ground, creeping into the stretch of the house where he could see the dining room, the kitchen and you.
Simon leaned against the wall, his other two girls mustâve been in the living room because he could hear them screeching the lyrics to âCareless Whisperâ. You were making dinner while dancing, stirring.. something and laughing at your daughters.
Simon was perfectly content to just watch his family as they sang and danced- well, your two daughters singing and you dancing. He pushed off the wall and walked over to you, finally getting noticed, âAh! Si! Youâre home, hi! I missed you.â You said with a big smile, setting the mixing bowl down as you walked over and pulled him into a hug, pressing a kiss to his lips.
âHi lovie, jamminâ out to careless whisper?â The man teased softly, his British accent clear as he hugged you back, a kiss pressed back to your lips and then another pressed to your temple.
âMaybe.â You mused back, a soft flush against your skin as you went back to mixing and cooking. Simon walked over to his two daughters who noticed him almost immediately. Your eldest- Sierra, who was 16 and obviously a daddyâs girl, got up quickly to hug her dad, greeting him with a smile.
Daphne got up as well, hugging him with a smile to him. Daphne was only 12, and also the youngest. The song changed after a few more seconds, now some other random song as the two girls sat back down on the couch.
Simon shook his head and chuckled as he pulled out two wine glasses, he set them both down before finding his and your favorite wine, carefully pouring it out, giving one glass to you after you finally finished running around the kitchen.
You picked up the wine and smiled, âThanks, Si.â You said softly as you sipped the wine, the two of you moved to lean against the counter and each other, a strong arm wrapped around your middle to tug you closer.
âI love you.â Simon crooned into your ear as he sipped the wine, soon after a lengthy and rather weird conversation about what tree they would think each other were.
Simon ended up being an Oak tree and you ended up a Great Basin Bristlecone Pine. You werenât sure what that was, searched it up, got jokingly offended and asked Simon if he was calling you old and how he even knew what that tree was.
Simon had to explain that Johnny(or soap), had gone on a three hour ramble of trees because Daphne of all people- had taught Johnny, about trees. Simon had also included in a more hushed tone that Johnny called him an âold fartâ with an amused chuckle.
You shook your head and laughed alongside him. âDaph! Mind telling Uncle J not to be an ass? Text him for me. You can use ass.â You called, getting your youngestâs attention easily.
âAlright! Sent, Mom!â Daphne called in response, not even five minutes later, Simon gets a call. âJohnnyâ with the stupidest picture of him as the contact name.
âYour little lassie, Daphy jusâ called me an arse!â Johnnyâs very Scottish and very offended voice came through loudly from the phone. âOh I know.â Simon mused, âThe hell ya mean ya know?!â Johnny crowed in response, âShe was allowed to cuss. Now goodnight Johnny.â Simon said, quickly hanging up, chuckling.
You smiled and shook your head, finally collecting dinner and playing it all for the two girls, a husband and yourself. A good olâ fashioned dinner. A casserole, pork, rice, green beans, corn, dinner roles- made all by you throughout the day.
Of course, everyone had a little of everything, eating happily and talking about school, drama.. life in general. You and your husband were both amused as Sierra talked about drama going on in her highschool.
Apparently, in the drama there was two girls who fought over this guy- the guy liked both.. the girls hated each other, they fought, got real hissy pissy about it, punching, scratching, kicking, pulling hair, playing dirty. Not really as much of a fight as it was a scrap.
Simon was throughly amused by it though and chuckled, Daphne thought it was a little funny too, poking fun as Sierra spoke.
You smiled and asked questions- needing context of course- you received some.. half-assed context, which you let slide of course.
When everyone was done, they all helped put everything away, leftovers got packed up, Simon shoved more food into his face after both Sierra and Daphne didnât finish the rice and corn they had.
You let a long sigh out as both Daphne and Sierra finally went to their respective rooms. You and Simon went to your rooms. Simon tugged you closer into his chest, kissing at your face as you both cuddled into bed, putting on some random movie.
You snuggled into Simon, saying âI love youâ and âgood nightâ, getting a mirrored- more sleepy response from Simon.

the beatles birthday hc's
in honour of mine and johnny's birthday here are the ways the boys would celebrate yours and their birthdays.
john lennon
he makes you breakfast in bed and lays out all your gifts in the living room like it's christmas day. he loves playing the housewife. he wraps all your presents in plain white paper and then hand draws designs and patterns all over them and ties them up with colourful ribbon.
he takes you out to dinner but he spends the whole day with you. you watch tv on the couch while he bakes some bread for lunch and you cuddle while he waits for the dough to proof.
for his birthday, you steal his house husband schtick and cook him a romantic dinner. a nice feed like grilled chicken alfredo with roast potatoes and green beans. you eat it by candlelight to the sound of his favourite record. you'd try your hand at guitar to serenade him and to make him laugh.
paul macca
paul plans the whole day very elaborately months in advance. he would plan most of the event for the later half of the day so you can sleep in. he definitely takes you dancing out at a club, but picks one that's a little more exclusive to stop him from being swarmed on your bithday.
he writes a special birthday song for you every year and puts them all onto a casette for you. he draws little pictures on the labels of them and makes them look pretty for you. he explains all the parts to you and then plays it just on a accoustic guitar. he'll be like "okay so the bass part would go like bwomp bwomp bwaa and then then the drums would be like duh duh duh, just let me play it for you"
for his birthday you plan a party with all his friends, which makes it easy to find the music because most of them are musicians. he loves the attention, he's happiest when he's around the people he loves and he loves a lot of people.
george harrison
as much as george loves to stay inside, he takes you to a nice restaurant that he knows you love. he invites a few of your close friends for a casual lunch and then plans a more intimate dinner with just you at him later in the day. he takes advantage of his status to get a private room for dinner to keep things to just the two of you (and the servers).
he gets you a couple little sentimental gifts, books he's annotated with notes just for you, special mixtapes with some of his musician friends' unreleased songs, jewellery with both of your initials engraved on it.
for his birthday, surprise surprise, he wants to stay in. you take care of his whole schedule to make sure there are no phone calls or meetings or last minute grocery trips. he can just spend the day relaxing in bed or in the garden. you wake him up by putting on his favourite record.
you make his birthday cake together, some old people flavour like pound cake or carrot cake. you decorate in with all his favourite colours and make it look all cutesy. you have it for dessert for the next couple nights and if he ever goes out you pack it in a little lunch for him.
ringo starr
he definitely offers you some birthday oral. i hope you don't have any morning plans because the first few hours of your day is just you cumming in his mouth.
he goes all out on plans. he loves cheesy displays of affection so much. he leaves a trail of rose petals from your bedroom out to the living room and your gifts are arranged into the shape of a loveheart on the coffee table.
he'll take you out to the countryside for a secluded dinner, with all your favourite food. he hires a planner to make sure everything is perfect. he loves making you happy and he'll do everything he can to see you smile.
for his birthday, you take him to one of those cinemas that does a dinner with the movie and you bribe the workers to play his favourite movie.

Just Let Me Adore You (BuckTommy) -2/6
Summary: What ifâŚinstead of Chimney taking the role of interim Captain of the 118, Tommy is asked to take on the role.
Or, what happens when Buck meets Tommy in S2
Words: 3.4k
Notes: Title from Adore You by Harry Styles
Read on Ao3
Part One
-
Part Two
After growing up in Hershey, chocolate factories didnât impress Buck much. Heâd gone to the Hershey factory a few times on school trips and itâd been fun the first few times. Buck wasnât even sure if it was his proximity and how often he had that chocolate as a kid, but he really wasnât all that fond of it. Heâd also had some great chocolate down in South America that made anything American pale in comparison. Not a lot of people knew it, but that was where cacao beans came from. It wasnât Mexico either like some though, but Ecuador.
The Seymour Chocolate Factory wasnât even one heâd heard of and he kinda figured the chocolate probably wasnât even that good, though they did leave with a small bag of chocolates by the end of the call. The call came about a guy that had fallen right into a chocolate vat while on a tour.
As they were walking up, Buck heard Tommy say to Chim, âthis would be the moment the Oompa Loompas give us a musical number.â
Buck had no idea what he meant, but there was no time to ask for clarification.
None of them had any idea how to get the guy out of the chocolate vat until, after a few failed attempts, Tommy pulled out his phone. They all eyed him.
âWhat? A good Captain uses his resources. In this case, Bobby probably knows more about chocolate than anyone I know. Unless one of you has a better idea?â
He wasnât wrong. Bobbyâs advice worked and between all of them they had the teacher out and then on a stretcher.
Buck held himself back as they walked out and wound up next to Tommy.
âThat was a good call, getting Bobby on the phone.â
Tommy smiled at him, crinkle eyed and gorgeous. Why was he so good looking? More importantly, why couldnât Buck stop noticing?
âIt wasnât like he was going to get flushed out or sucked up in a tube,â Tommy said.
âWhat are you talking about?â Buck asked.
âWilly Wonka,â Tommy said.
âWho?â
Tommy stopped and turned to look at him, making Buck almost run straight into him.
âOkay, Iâd understand if you never saw the original movie, but you have to have seen the remake? Johnny Depp was in it.â
âUh, no,â Buck said.
âIt was a book,â Tommy said next. âRoald Dahl. Oompa Loompas? The kid that got turned into a blueberry?â
Buck stared at him blankly.
âThis means nothing to you, does it?â
Buck shrugged.
When they finally made it out, the ambulance had already left, Hen having gone with it. Chim and Eddie waited by the truck.
âHeâs never seen Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,â Tommy announced as if Buck had committed some kind of crime.
Buck was used to missing movie references. Chim had long given up expecting Buck to get what he was talking about. Buck had always been that kid that couldnât sit still long enough to get through a movie. That and all the time he spent outdoors doing daring thing after daring thing. Not to mention that his parents hadnât been big on tv time.
âHeâs never seen much of anything,â Chim said with a laugh. âHim and his sister both. Youâd think they were raised in some commune, but instead theyâre just from Pennsylvania. Iâve taken on the task of introducing her to some classics.â
Buck shrugged his shoulders. âSo, what exactly are these oompa lumps?â
âOompa Loompas,â Tommy said. âAnd you wonât understand until you watch it.â
When he turned to Eddie, Eddie just shrugged at him, but he was grinning in that way that meant Eddie was too amused by the whole thing to help. Chim mimed zipping his lips closed. Looking at Tommy just got him a shake of his head. They also banned him from looking it up and on the way back to the station, Chim even grabbed his phone out of his hands even though Buck wasnât going to google it.
âI can just look it up when I get home,â Buck told them.
âOr you could watch it,â Tommy suggested.
âOnly if you watch it with me,â Buck shot back, not sure exactly why he said it.
Tommy didnât respond at once and Buck felt like heâd gone and put his foot in it. But then, âYeah. Alright. If only to make sure you actually watch it.â
â
He tried to invite Chim and Eddie over to watch Willy Wonka with him and Evan, but neither of them was interested or available even if they did want Tommy to let them know how it went. Hen had also turned him down in favor of a date night with her wife. So, Tommy was on his own. Due to Evanâs living situation, he also had to host. So at least they got to use his living room with his big screen tv and sound bar.
Evan showed up with pizza, beer, and a veggie tray. He looked a little nervous even after Tommy invited him in. He watched as Evan took in Tommyâs house. It was very much a work in progress and Tommy had been doing most of the work on his own, so it was taking him a while to get through all of it. He expected it would be at least a year or two before he was finally satisfied by which point something would need to be repaired or repainted.
âI like your place,â Evan said.
âReally? Itâs a bit of a half finished mess.â
âBut one youâre clearly putting time into,â Evan said. âAnd youâll like the end result because of it.â
âWell, lucky for us, one of the things I did finish is the living room.â
It was the thing heâd tackled right after the kitchen â which technically wasnât even done â , the upstairs bathroom, and parts of his bedroom. He needed a place to relax and wind down after long shifts. So, it had become a priority. Tommy led Evan there and cleared off the coffee table for the food.
They sat down side by side on his couch and Tommy grabbed the remote.
âItâs an older movie,â Tommy informed Evan. âI think youâll like it, though.â
Evan got into it pretty quickly. He did ask questions like about the bed the grandparents shared and Tommy mostly just told him to keep watching. Tommy was more of a romcom re-watcher, so he hadnât actually watched Willy Wonka in years. Still, it was more fun to get Evanâs reaction to things. Heâd forgotten how eccentric and weird the movie was and watching Evan react was everything. He expressed so much and laughed with so much surprise that it was absolutely endearing.
âThose are the Oompa Loompas!â Evan exclaimed when he first saw them, giggling. âI get it now.â
By the time they finished the movie, Evan had turned to him with a big grin. âOkay, that was actually pretty good, if a little odd. You said there was a remake?â
Tommy nodded. âYeah. Itâs different, but still good. Wonka is completely different. The whole vibe is different.â
âMight have to check that out,â Evan said with a smile. After a pause, âWe could have another movie night?â
âThatâd be nice,â Tommy said and he meant it.
Evan stayed a little bit after the movie, discussing the more ridiculous aspects of it. Then, somehow, talking about what Tommy would be tackling next on the house.
âI did construction,â Evan offered. âI can help out if you ever need a second hand.â
The thought of Evan working with him to put new flooring down or to sand and stain his cabinet doors was far more appealing than it should be, but he nodded and thought that he wouldnât actually ask Evan for help. He might not survive it if he saw Evan dressed down and sweaty doing physical work in Tommyâs own home.
âIâll keep that in mind,â he told him.
â
Phone calls with Ali were getting exhausting. Buck had known what he was signing up for when he started dating her. Sheâd been clear from the start that she traveled for work and considering Buckâs own hours heâd figured itâd be fine. It was for a while. When she was in LA it was always fun. It was different from Abby and Buck liked that. Still, it always left him feeling a little left behind whenever she went off on yet another trip. Sheâd call, but it wasnât the same as having her in LA. It wasnât the same as being able to just see her whenever he wanted and that made it hard.
When the time between calls started lengthening and lengthening, it almost even felt like he wasnât dating anyone at all. One night they even had a discussion about opening up the relationship, making things more casual. Not that they were even necessarily talking about each other in any serious manner to begin with.
âItâd be a lot easier on both of us,â Ali had explained. âYou can be free to meet other people and so can I.â
Buck hadnât argued with her or known how to approach such a suggestion. Maybe he should have. It had just felt like if he didnât she would just leave him once and for all. He tried his hardest not to think about her out there meeting other guys and maybe finding something better elsewhere. Someone better. For his part, he didnât want to go back to who he used to be, so he didnât even try to meet anyone else.
It wasnât untilâŚbut no, Tommy was a guy. Buck wasnât interested in him like that. He wasnât, right? He tried not to think about their movie night. How it had felt to sit on Tommyâs couch feeling his warmth next to him watching chocolate shenanigans and being perplexed by the whole thing and then also feeling Tommyâs gaze on him. There was just something about him. Buck felt like a magnet being pulled in by a force he couldnât fight â one he didnât want to fight. And thatâŚthat was scary.
It was what found him knocking on Bobbyâs apartment.
âHey,â Bobby said and motioned him in. âWant some water?â
âUh. Yeah. Sure.â
Bobbyâs table was covered in wedding stuff.
âAm I here at a bad time?â
âNot at all. Whatâs going on, Buck?â
Buck sank into the chair. âBobby, you gotta come back to work.â
Bobby chuckled as he set down a glass of water in front of Buck. âIâd love to. Itâs not up to me.â
âIsnât there anything we can do? Canât we like write letters or something? Talk to them?â
Bobby shook his head. âI donât think that will help, Buck. Whatâs going on? I thought Tommy was doing well.â
Buck kinda panicked then because Tommy was actually good at being Captain. He was different than Bobby, of course, but not in a way that made Buck or really anyone on the team want him gone. Tommy was knowledgeable and his own expectations about how the equipment was kept and how everything was stocked. While heâd hung back a bit the first few shifts, after that heâd jumped right into action with them, knew how to balance being in charge and telling them what to do with also being part of the solution. Buck was more than a little impressed with him.
âNo, no, heâs doing fine. Heâs a good Captain. Heâs not you, but heâs good. Way he handled that bombing the other day? Or the chocolate factoryâŚI can see why he was picked to hold your spot.â
âIâm glad you like him,â Bobby said with a smile. âSo, whatâs happening, Buck?â
âAli wants an open relationship,â Buck blurted out.
He could tell that heâd shocked Bobby, at least for a moment. He recovered quickly. âIs that something you want?â
âNot really,â Buck admitted. âOrâŚwell, I donât know. You know itâs not unusual or anything and it works for some people. You know, some people think that people arenât meant to be monogamous. I donât think Iâm too bothered by it like as a concept.â
âBut this is not a concept. Itâs your life, Buck.â
âYeah. I know,â Buck said and it was entirely the problem.
Okay, so it wasnât like Buck didnât know that he had a bit of a slut era. His Buck 1.0 daysâŚBuck wasnât ashamed of them. And maybe in that time heâd explored a bit. One thing that Buck had realized was that he could never do threesomes. They were complicated and Buck was bad about sharing. Jealous, even.
Bobby stared at him and Buck stared back. If he could just share all his thoughts with Bobby without saying them outloud, it would actually solve everything. Not even just his Ali problem, but maybe the near obsession he was having about Tommy.
âI donât think the problem is the open relationship,â Buck said.
He thought about Abby leaving and how she had tried to tell him in a roundabout way that what she wanted was to be free from everything and everything included him. He hadnât been in love with her, though he had loved her. Cared about her. Convinced himself he would have a future with her. Had he realized what Abby meant by Eat, Pray, Love, Buck was actually sure that he would have been upset. Then again, it wouldnât have been some dragged out thing.
With AliâŚshouldnât he be more upset? Shouldnât he be angry and maybe even jealous because why was she bringing it up if she didnât already have someone that she wanted to sleep with? Was this her roundabout way of saying that they were over?
âI donât think I should be soâŚso okay with it. Or not care,â Buck said.
âOh,â Bobby said.
Maybe it was that she was gone all the time. Gone so much that Buck hadnât had any time to get attached. Not really. Not in the way that mattered.
âThen maybe this would work for you, if you were looking for something different,â Bobby tried.
Tommy came to mind right away. Except thatâŚhe couldnât do that to someone, least of all Tommy. Buck groaned, as if that were even an option.
âBuck?â
âWhat ifâŚâ Buck trailed off. He couldnât say it. âNo. I guess I should talk to Ali.â
âThatâs probably a good start. You know, I donât have to be your Captain for us to have these talks.â
âNo, but it would be less confusing if you were,â Buck muttered on his way out and didnât know if Bobby had heard him.
â
He could see the devastation on Eddieâs face. The woman â his wife â was on the stretcher and from what Chimney had whispered to him and Tommyâs own experience she wasnât going to make it. She was already dead even if it hadnât caught up to her. Eddie didnât seem to know it fully yet, but he watched as Hen and Chim worked on her.
âWe need to intubate,â Hen said from inside the ambulance.
Chim stopped her. âNo.â
âNo?â Hen asked.
Chim shook his head and his eyes met Tommyâs, before looking to Eddie.
âChimâs right,â he said. âIâm sorry, Eddie.â
He could tell that Eddie understood. Heâd been an Army medic, had worked as a firefighter long enough that of course he knew.
âIf they intubate,â Tommy said, âthat tube may never come out. Right now, before they do that, just take a minute.â
âHe knows,â Chim said. âEddie, Iâm sorryâŚthis isâŚcome on, you can say goodbye to her.â
There was nothing that could have prepared any of them to arrive at a call to find that the one person seriously injured â other than the driver â was the wife of one of his firefighters.
Tommy gripped Eddieâs shoulder, not that it made much difference and then he watched Eddie climb into the ambulance. Tommy closed the door behind them and then turned around.
âHey,â Evan said. âIs sheââ
Tommy shook his head. Evan let out a sigh and he pressed his lips together. He took a quick glance around. The driver had been loaded into another ambulance. The minor injuries had already been looked at. Evan let out a sigh and his eyes met Tommyâs again, looking a bit glassy.
âWe should go to the hospital,â Tommy said.
âYeah.â
He wasnât surprised when Bobby arrived, was glad to see him so that some of this burden wasnât on Tommy. It was more than a job, these people were Bobbyâs family and they needed him. Tommy wasnât that for them and he wasnât all that close to Eddie to offer the comfort that Bobby could
Eddie left with Bobby, clutching a bag with her belongings and looking lost in a way that Tommy had never experienced for himself.
They didnât talk about it on the way back to the station and he told dispatch to take them off line for the remaining time left on their shift because it was only a few hours and they were all more than a little distracted. The 118 could go back online once B-shift took over. He found Evan in front of the tv, staring out into nothing.
âDid you know her well?â he asked.
âNo,â Evan said. âMet her a few times here or there, but that was all. Eddie really cared about her, they were kinda reconnecting, I guess. She hadnât been a part of Eddieâs or Christopherâs life for a bit. NowâŚâ
âThat poor kid,â Tommy said because he hadnât even thought about Eddieâs son.
Eddie had probably told him by now, had torn his world apart. At least Christopher would have a good dad. He would have Eddie there to grieve with. He would have a dad that cared and that loved him even if he never saw his mother again.
âYeah,â Evan said.
Life was like that, made up of tragedies.
The next time he saw Eddie, it was a few days later. Tommy had arrived early to do some paperwork and the last person he expected to see was Eddie. He was in civilian clothes at least, not that Tommy would have allowed him to work even if heâd gotten the uniform on.
âHey, Eddie, how are you doing?â
âAlright, everything considered. Funeralâs in a couple of days.â
He still looked lost. Like he was still out on that street looking at Shannon.
âWell the last thing I want you to worry about is work,â Tommy said. âTake all the time that you need.â
âEven with all those bombs showing up?â Eddie asked and shook his head. âNo. I think Iâll need to work. Iâll need to be back so I can stop thinking about it. Stop picturing it.â
It felt like a mistake. He didnât want to say no and he didnât want to make things harder for Eddie, and yet in their line of work there was no room for distractions. Distractions led to mistakes and mistakes in their line of work could be life or death.
âLook, thatâsâŚIâm not saying you shouldnât come back at once. I just, I want your head to be in it. I want you to be in the right state of mind. Have you thought about talking to someone?â
Eddie looked taken aback. âWhat?â
Tommy should have expected it. Guy like Eddie whoâd been in the Army and who had probably not bothered to do any therapy after it, of course he didnât think he needed it now.
âThe department has good grief counselors, Eddie,â Tommy said. âI wonât put any restrictions on when you can return, but I want you to see oneâŚif they say that youâre fit to work and willing to do a few more sessions then thatâs that.â
Eddie looked like he wanted to argue, but Tommy was going to hold strong on that. He didnât know what Bobby would have done in his place, but Tommy knew what Gerrard had done for a firehouse and a team that had lost one of their own. Tommy knew what Captain Reid at Harbor would do, too.
âAre you serious right now?â Eddie asked.
Tommy sighed. âEddie, come on. I have a whole team to look out for here and this is not even really my house.â He lifted an eyebrow.
âOkay,â Eddie said. âFine. If thatâs the only way.â
âItâll help, Eddie. I donâtâŚIâve never been married, but Iâve lost important people. I get it. It isnât easy and it wonât be for a while. Howâs your son doing?â
âAs fine as he can be doing,â Eddie said. âMy parents are here. My sisters. Itâs helping him. Itâs stressing me out.â
âParents are never easy. If you need to get away, give me a call. There are distractions that arenât work, you know?â

i loove this ghost x reader keeper au like it's actually a dream. just doing absolutely fuck all all day everyday or spending the day painting, playing video games, watching tv or whatever i wanna do. and never have to work again!!! and basically have my own personal butler. amazing.
though i guess being restricted to this one (1) place for the rest of my life would probably drive me mad regardless of how good I've got it. so, i was wondering if simon (or/and if any of the 141 keepers w their pets) would eventually let her leave the house (with him with her at all times, of course)? like imagine being able to travel all around the uk/wherever they live whenever you want. literally my dream life.
Hey there, bean!!! You raise a really good point that Iâve been pondering over for a while now. For all of them, it would start out very small, like going to the other keeperâs houses, or long drives through the country and into the nearest towns. Then theyâd be allowed for âpet daysâ on base.
Theyâd work their way up to running errands together if their creature wanted to. (Clothes shopping is a special favorite of Johnny and Shy Thing.)
Big trips would have to be after a year or two of consistently good and loyal behavior. And it would be to a country where the creature doesnât speak the language so that they feel less inclined to do something silly and dangerous. But yes, world travel would be allowed⌠eventually.

This is like 600 words.
Everyone headcanons Ghost and Soap's living conditions like Ghost is a frequent visitor of r/malelivingspace and Soap has like a slightly cozy, filled just enough with furniture type of place. I think that's cute and hilarious, but I'm just thinking about the opposite.
That Ghost actually has this REALLY nice place somewhere near the base that Price *legally* finances for him but pays out of pocket for. King sized bed, some cacti, has an elderly neighbor that waters them for him if he's gone for too long and everything. I'm pretty sure Ghost was canonically a butcher (I hc him that way anyway) so he probably can make a good steak, and eventually learned how to cook for himself and it's become a hobby. He grew up without, so now that he has the money and the luxury to have a quiet space of his own, he takes full advantage of it.
I believe he likes stability, and while the base is where he feels the most like himself, the bustle of it all irritates him. Sometimes it's nice to drink your weird ass flavored tea with your pink cacti. Best date you'll ever have if you squint past the red flags Tom Cardy style.
And Soap? Pretty big, concrete, studio loft. Completely empty save necessary appliances and the fullest place being his art space with easels and canvases in front of the large windows, a cot with boxes of his shit next to it. And a bean bag chair begging for life. The only thing he knows how to cook is ramen and MRE tuna packets. He tries family recipes, but fucks it up so badly he hopes his nan doesn't see it beyond the grave. Growing up, he took care of himself while his parents worked constantly and could have been away for days at the time. It's easier to take care of yourself when your only obligations are feeding yourself, doing homework, and going to bed before midnight. Being an adult has similar rules but for some reason it's much worse.
Being in the military, it's an automatic rule to take care of yourself (physically). You stink, you'll get a bath one way or another. He doesn't buy anything because why need a bed if you'll only sleep on it for a month or so? Why a couch and TV when paying for a streaming service would be a waste? (Laptop disc player kind of guy, got a box of classic movies too, âTHIS IS SPARTA!â) Really shouldn't even invest in a flat, he doesn't really celebrate holidays with his family anymore since they're the vacation on Christmas type. The only time he's there is when injured, forced or both.
But since Simon moves to Scotland and brings all his stuff with him, the big place gets filled a lot quicker. John gets some shelf racks and finally unpacks his boxes. I would say and maybe vice versa since Soap doesn't have a lot of stuff, but Price is glad to get that freeloaderâs lease off his name.
Extra: They're all hanging out in the baseâs living area.
Gaz: Does anybody need a couch? My sister's selling one, might even give it away if I ask.
Soap perks up from his spot on the floor: I do! I've been sleeping on the floor for 3 years!
Ghost: Johnny, I thought you said you had a cot?
Soap: I did. The legs broke, now it's just a framed mat.
Gaz: Bruv, what the fuck.
Soap: Does it have a stench?
Gaz: No?
Soap: I'll take it.

Well, if youâre just joining us, the nation has delivered an all-night victim impact statement. Labour has won a landslide and the Conservatives have suffered their worst ever general election result. Keir Starmer â the prime minister â has promised ânational renewal ⌠to fight until you believe againâ. Liz Truss has failed to save South West Norfolk, let alone âthe westâ. That is the big picture (if not the whole picture, with turnout and Labourâs vote share notably low). Meanwhile, itâs incredible to think that only a short while ago we thought weâd eradicated measles and Nigel Farage. Both have now been brought back, largely by the same people.
But look, after the 3am to 7am shift, no one will be able to say the right doesnât do comedy. There were moments worthy of entire Netflix specials as in sports halls and community centres various Dickensian grotesques were ushered into their Christmas future, live on stage. Alas, it was going to take more than buying the Cratchits a turkey to get out of this one. Jacob Rees-Mogg heard his fate standing next to a candidate wearing a baked bean balaclava. Heâll be crying into Nannyâs starched bosom today. Committed sewage apologist ThĂŠrèse Coffey was pumped into the sea in Suffolk Coastal. Andrea Jenkyns had the middle finger given to her by the voters of Morley and Outwood. In Welwyn Hatfield, Grant Shapps chanted âsupermajorityâ five times into the mirror, and then it came for him.
Then again, Michael Portillo losing his seat was supposedly 1997âs big moment. So perhaps the question is: in two yearsâ time, which current hate figure will be presenting a cosy travelogue on Europeâs most picturesque illegal migration routes? Alternatively, do remember that one personâs onstage humiliation is another personâs milk round for directorships in the arms trade.
Speaking of absolute weapons, hat twat George Galloway wimped out of his own count in Rochdale, presumably out of fatigability. He lost to Labour. There was jubilation for the Lib Dems, who finished not a million miles behind âthe natural party of governmentâ, and for the Greens, who won all four of their target seats. The SNP can now squeeze its MPs round the flip-down dining table of a motorhome. Referendum arguments may move to Northern Ireland, with Sinn FĂŠin now that nationâs largest Westminster party.
As for Reform ⌠Farage won in Clacton, a constituency for which he will now have to hold surgeries, presumably by Zoom link from his hot desk in the US presidential colon. Or as he put it in his victory speech: âThis is the first steps of something that is going to stun all of youâ â at least confirming his political abattoir will be bolt-gunning its victims unconscious first. Farage is the horror version of Inside Out, where Mendacity is only just holding off Racism at the control console. His cultural hinterland extends to a single Goodbye, Mr Chips DVD he got free with the Sunday Times in 2008, and the idea that this hollow chancer should still be one of the most significant politicians of the age says everything about the age.
Anyway, back to the Conservativesâ four-hour in-memoriam reel. Penny Mordaunt, Jonathan Gullis, Michael Fabricant, Gillian Keegan, Steve Baker, Alex Chalk, Johnny Mercer, Michelle Donelan, Victoria Prentis, Liam Fox, Mark Harper ⌠all out, along with many more. So many cabinet ministers fell that the ones who live may actually develop survivor guilt. Itâs currently unclear how gruesome things will be among the extant Conservatives in this post-apocalyptic world. As a fictional president once wondered of Dr Strangelove, will the living not end up envying the dead? Far from it, Strangelove reassures him, forcing down an involuntary Nazi salute. What will abound is a spirit of bold curiosity for the adventure ahead!
Speaking of which, 13th fairy Suella Braverman finally turned up, holding on in Fareham and cooing: âI am sorry that my party didnât listen to you. The Conservative party has let you down.â Expect to see her humbly attempting to disembowel fellow survivors Jeremy Hunt and James Cleverly in the forthcoming trial-by-combat for what convention demands we style as âthe soul of the Conservative partyâ.
At his count, Rishi Sunak explained heâd already conceded the election in a congratulatory call to Keir Starmer, adding, âI take responsibility for the loss.â In Downing Street, he confirmed he would be standing down as Tory leader in some sort of due course, stressing, âI have heard your anger.â Then, instead of yet another speech straight from the Tortured Prime Ministerâs Department, this one offered humility and magnanimity, as well as a pointed reminder of the positive (and fragile?) progress that saw him become the UKâs first British-Asian prime minister. What a contrast to the relentless negativity of his past six weeks. Sunakâs campaign was conducted like a gender-reveal party where the device thatâs meant to release the puff of blue smoke accidentally functions as a pipe bomb and burns the house down.
It also closed out several years of mindboggling chaos, dysfunction and national decline. They wonât be playing anything from this album on the Conservative partyâs Eras tour. The Tories have cycled through five prime ministers over the past eight years, to the point where they were recently found going through the rubbish, pulling the first guy back out, thinking, âActually, he doesnât look half bad now,â and making him foreign secretary. This is the behaviour of addicts.
Not that they have the monopoly on erraticism. Any dispassionate view of these results suggests the fabled post-Brexit ârealignmentâ is more of a dealignment â the huge sweeping gains of this or that political moment able to be reversed in previously unthinkable timespans. Volatility might now be our defining electoral characteristic, and a rise in sectarian politics cannot and should not be ignored. Because hey â whatâs the worst that can happen with that one? Meanwhile, many people who derided the simplistic âGet Brexit doneâ slogan in 2019 have pretended not to notice that the winner here went out under the even more gnomic banner of âChangeâ.
Yet in the wider global context, what a win. One summer evening in 1914, the foreign secretary, Edward Grey, famously remarked: âThe lamps are going out all over Europe.â In our own times, a darkening has recently felt at hand, as hard- or extreme-right parties have gained ground across the continent, to say nothing of the US. But here â in this country, in this moment â a different direction has been taken. That matters today, and anyone not on the wingnut fringes, who hopes to avoid those gathering shadows, should wish Keir Starmer good luck with his task. For plenty who would snuff out the lamps are also rising â increasingly, they walk among us.
