Chapter 13: The Plan

A/N: I had to split the final chapter because it became over 7,600+ words and counting. This is the first half. I’ll finish and post the final-final chapter in a few days.

Chapter Summary:  Peter ropes in Tullk to make things right.

Fic Summary: Kraglin knows it might be wrong, but he just can’t help himself.

In which Yondu is an unwitting DILF, Kraglin is counting down the years until a possible relationship with his captain becomes borderline socially-acceptable, and Peter may just about lose his damn mind now that his best friend is dead-set on banging his sort-of Dad.

Fic Snip:

“You know what we have to do, right?” Peter propositions Tullk after his stint in the brig. They’re both on their knees, scrub brushes in hand, scraping away at the urine scale staining the floor in front of the piss trough.

“We ain’t shankin’ Cap’n. Tha’s mutiny, lad, an’ I won’ abide by it,” Tullk responds sternly. He leverages the weight of his entire torso to press down harder, scrubbing ever faster in frustration at his inability to remove the brownish blooms speckling the rusted metal. At this rate, he’ll polish the surrounding area to a shiny mirror finish before he’s able to lessen the discoloration.

“What the… Of course not,” Peter says. How come that’s the go-to solution for everyone on the Eclector? The crew seriously lacked imagination. “We have to get Kraglin and Yondu back together! Obviously…”

“Now tha’ is crazy talk.”

“Yeah, I know. It’s ludicrous that Kraglin would want to bone the old man on a long-term basis, or at all even. I think he must either have exceptionally low standards or be extremely near-sighted to not see how ugly Yondu really is, but what choice do we have?”

tenzin is 52 years old and pema is 36 years old but tenzin is a man and pema is a woman its alright for the older person to be the man I sent this to you I was serious since its weird for an older woman to be a younger man and I am being serious

So Arwen and Aragorn isn’t your thing?

No to Tauriel and Kili?

Kida and Milo don't float your boat?

I mean, at what age does a woman “expire”? When she’s too old for children? When her first gray hair appears? Perhaps it is when her skin stretches, or when her parents can no longer give their blessing.

Is it Hera’s folded legs that keep her from the beds of mortal men, or is it the gap between their years? Do Charlotte’s hopes to wed a prince die when none her age remain unmarried?

Think of your argument’s basis and then return to further the argument.

An article on Tuesday about Emmanuel Macron, the new economy minister of France, referred incorrectly to the period during which his wife had been his teacher. It was in high school, not first grade. (In French, “Premiere,” or first grade, refers to high school.)

Age-gap and social norms defied to create something perfect that is Us. He tolerates my bullshit. I tolerate his. It's beautiful.

I have also lost 60 pounds since one year ago. And that is pretty much glorious as well.

“He isn’t too young but he must have money, and that’s what I’m looking for” (My Secret Affair 2, 1950). “And he’s got that Dr. Strange/Reed Richards silver streak in his hair, so perhaps he has super-powers as well!”

(with a friend looking at pictures of her and the guy she's involved with) Me: I like the sunglasses, it gives him a nice Unibomber look. ... Me: Wow, with the sunglasses off he DOES look young! Her: How young does he look? Me: I don't know, how's his Algebra homework coming along? Her: Is it that bad? Do I look like his mom? Me: Nah, it's not that bad, you just look like his statutory rape committing girlfriend.

Things I actually say to people.

Chapter Summary:  Kraglin suffers a loss and gains a brother.

Fic Summary: Kraglin knows it might be wrong, but he just can’t help himself.

I just learned what the term "May-December romance" means

and now I'm really in the mood for one! (Fandomly/fictionally, I mean. XD; I'm perfectly happy with my own May-May (or perhaps April-April) relationship.) I've always loved any taboo-like relationship. *wibbles* WHY don't I have a master-list of favorite pairings organized by age and genre?! Someone. GIMME.

Audio book review of The Gentleman from Peru. Is it worth a listen??!!

Does The Demon King Always Have to Marry a Little Girl?

And if he doesn't, why does he?

You see, I‘ve been seeing this trope for years and only recently realized how weird that is. It’s not always a little girl, nor is it always a demon king, but it’s definitely always someone that can be thought of as a minor with someone else who is definitely not. More often than not, the other person tends to be at least a century old. 

Whether you are hesitant to call that pedophilia or not, I…

Late Bloomer by Barbara Lohr

Man from Yesterday #4

 Teaching 18 year olds fresh out of college can’t be easy. I remember one such teacher from my high school days and a ride from Los Angeles to the Colorado River for a skiing trip with classmates. What I remember more than her teaching was her reaching over to take the hand of one of my male classmates and feeling very uncomfortable as he snuggled against his shoulder when he was driving. Sure, there wasn’t much age difference but even then it seemed…wrong. And then with all the talk of young men taken advantage of by their teachers being in the news recently… Okay…that is NOT what this book is about at all…not really…but it did bring these memories to mind as I read.

 So, THIS book is about a woman who has been teaching for ten years. She has gone from Michigan to Arizona to care for her grandmother and is offered a ride from the airport by someone she taught her first year out of college. Carolyn sort of remembers Brody but, having been a teacher myself, I doubt she remembers much about him. Anyway, they talk, he remembers his “crush” on her when he was 18, there is chemistry of a sort, they end up dating and of course the age difference is mentioned but with him now 28 and her 32 the age gap is not so great BUT the distance between their homes and potential for a future together is iffy at best. How they work it out, the ways they spend time together, the problems they have to overcome – all work together to build a very enjoyable read. AND, there is a second romance that is added in – one between Carolyn’s grandmother and someone she met in Santa Fe ;)

 Thank you to the author for the ARC – this is my honest review.
