The need for organized storage has existed since history started to be recorded. Filing systems have become a necessary part of business life. Now, with the addition of the mobile file cabinet, staying organized is easier than ever. File cabinets are already number one when it comes to space-saving, and now they are highly convenient as well. Mobile file cabinets are very small cabinets, designed to be easily moved. They can roll for ease of movement and are usually no more than a drawer or two high.
These compact cabinets make moving, archiving and organizing a breeze. Simply maintain all current files in it, then at the end of the year, move these cabinets to your archive area and empty directly into the archives. This eliminates hours of transferring flat files to boxes, moving them down the hall to the records room and then re-filing them. With the mobile cabinet, you simply cart everything at once.
These also allow for easy meeting set-up. Meetings can run for long periods of time and nothing makes them seem longer then having to break every time someone needs to pull a file or look up a specific piece of information. With these type of cabinets everything can be made available in one room. All of the files needed for the topics of discussion can be placed in the meeting room ahead of time drastically reducing wasted time and increasing productivity.
These small, light-weight, cabinets are also perfectly sized for the home office. They are about the same size as a night-stand and serve two purposes. They provide organized storage space internally and externally they provide additional work surface. The home office is usually a compromise due to extreme space limitations so a dual purpose piece of furniture like a mobile file cabinet is extremely useful.
These cabinets are also highly durable. Small, does not necessarily mean easily broken or light. The quality is highly variable, and a mobile cabinet can weigh anywhere from under 40 to over 300 pounds depending on the design.
When you shop to set up or remodel an office, consider purchasing some of these file cabinets. They are a great addition to existing filing cabinets and very useful. They are available in both vertical and lateral, as well as being available in a variety of wood veneers and metal in custom colors.
Mobile file cabinets are a perfect solution for many businesses for a permanent filling solution as well. While many people will choose to keep the majority of their files in their offices or cubicles, there are some files that will need to be accessible to the entire company and as such, making these files movable will benefit everyone. It also makes it easy to rearrange the office should you need to utilize your space in a more efficient manner.

Many customers picking steel filing cabinets for their offices will struggle back and forth between the price and the usefulness of the product. A few customers will ignore the quality of the product and the practicality of the furniture because they are more concerned about the price. This is the minority of customers who enter the misunderstanding. Let me tell you how to choose a more suitable steel file storage cabinet for your office.
First of all, file cabinets placed in the office, first according to the size of the office space and the number of people, and then consider the size, size, color, etc. of the product to be purchased.
Tumblr media
How many steel filing cabinets or tableside mobile filing cabinets are needed?
Do you need drawers for steel filing cabinets?
How about the effect of filing cabinet planter placement?
Such questions will have a lot of office furniture selection and placement layout is a tedious project, can only do a preliminary plan to take these basic factors into account. The most important thing is to give priority to the size of the office space, do not worry about the price, because only practicality is the most important.
Second, observe the structure of the steel cabinet, check the doors and drawers to ensure that too many gaps cannot be left. Because the cabinet is made of cold-rolled steel plate, the surface should be bright and flat, horizontal and vertical, especially the cabinet door can not have a dent or uneven, if there are burrs or small dents, look at all affect the use of feeling.
Third, determine the thickness of the steel plate in line with the use of standards. The thickness of the steel plate is generally 0.4-1 mm, the general steel file cabinet, locker thickness can reach 0.5-0.8 mm. The hardness and impact resistance of the plates should comply with GB1720, GB1730 and GB1732 standards. Only the plates that meet certain requirements are the basis for the stability and durability of the steel storage closet.
Fourth, if the steel file storage cabinet has a pulley or foot device, to observe whether the lower pulley lubrication, foot device to balance, stable.
Tumblr media
Fifth, the steel locker surface powder coating is environmentally friendly non-polluting epoxy polyester powder. This powder has a strong adhesion, sprayed on the cabinet will not fade. It has anti-static function. The surface of the steel locker should be evenly sprayed and smooth. When selecting the cabinet, make sure the product is odorless and the cabinet is evenly colored.
The above points are the details to pay attention to when choosing a steel file locker, the other will not be repeated. The most important thing is to choose a good brand. Made in China has become synonymous with quality, Chinese steel furniture products have gone to offices, schools, hospitals, homes, etc. Furnitopper will also work harder and always adhere to the business philosophy of "trustworthiness, quality, pragmatic innovation, the pursuit of excellence" to dedicate better furniture products to customers.

It’s really good news things are moving along with your mobile home. You will be in your new home before the holidays. Pretty much be all moved in and get to enjoy the holidays at your new home and also with family. Will the previous owner install the cabinets before closing? I lived in two different mobile home parks and I loved both of them. I hope you will share pictures when ready. Did you take most of your furniture or are you buying new stuff for your place
I down-sized, never expecting to find a place w/ almost the same square footage as the one I left. Consequently, there's going to be a lotta open space, which is NOT bad. I kept my husband's Steelcase Modular Work Station Modules because they look like a starship command center. No joke. They assemble into a U-shaped arrangement w/ 2 angled-corner workstations attached to 3 tables in 5', 7', & 10' lengths. The work surface is pale mottled grey w/ brushed steel legs & 2 nearly black file cabinets. I plan on putting my computer in one corner & my sewing machine in the other.
I don't plan on having a sofa or a big screen TV. I can stream movies on my large screen monitor or watch them on my laptop in my muted blue velvet recliner.
The walls in the house are already white. I reckon this is gonna look stark until I put up stained wood shelves I packed for my books & decorative objects & cover the walls w/ my collection of framed art. I could also make a statement w/ curtains over the expansive windows. But, I can't decide what statement I feel like making. I'll make up my mind when everything else is in place.
I also kept his bedroom suite w/ SIX pieces, solid honey oak inside & out, which are close to the color of the floors, very 70's w/ rounded corners. That's more than enough to set up 2 bedrooms. In fact, one or more pieces might end up in the living area because I will have nowhere else to put them.
I've also got a dark oak round pedestal table w/ 4 chairs & custom cushions I made for them. And a Danish walnut Mid-Century Modern china hutch to display my collection of Blue Calico china. I'm a person w/ eclectic tastes.
You may notice I don't mention a sofa or side chairs. We never used the ones we had & I gave them to his oldest daughter. When people came to visit, we had extra rolling desk chairs for them to sit inside the circle of our workspace. I'll do the same. Maybe I'll find child-size desk chairs...HA!

‘Online’ ch I - RS&t7D University AU
Hello, I was looking for Red Shoes fanfiction when I discovered that there are little to no Modern AUs being written. So i figured, screw it, I’ll do it myself because I love modern AUs.
This is the first chapter and it is very long, so if you don’t feel like reading it, fair enough. I’m planning to write the whole thing anyway because I also love writing and it’s good practise.
Small warning if you do want to read this: Merlin is British. I am British. British people are very sarcastic and very moody all of the time. This entire first chapter is from Merlin’s perspective so there are a lot of British phrases and idioms used. If you are fortunate enough to not be an eternally grumpy Brit, don’t worry, the next chapter will be a very bad written impersonation of an American!!
Also, this is my first ever fanfiction so please don’t judge me too harshly, I am but a young peasant girl.
Sooooooooo.... Summary.
Merlin is a twenty year old student at Southend University. To combat his detrimental narcissism, his counsellor suggests online gaming. Merlin tries to cheat by using an ancient game called Fairytale Island, which designs your avatar to match a photograph. This plan falls apart when his laptop explodes, turning his avatar tiny and green. He ploughs on regardless, sure that he will encounter nobody. Little does he know, that a newly moved student from the States is coming online the very same night. :)
(It’s kinda switched so Merlin is the last of the F7 to get his attitude set right.)
With that done... I hope you don’t hate it!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merlin couldn’t stand mornings, especially Friday mornings. Because for the duration of his first year of Uni, Friday’s lessons had always begun at the reasonable hour of 2 o’clock in the afternoon. This left Merlin a good half hour to be awake, out of the door and on his bike, zipping past the crowded Southend beaches. In short, Merlin hated Friday mornings because he had not seen one in fifteen months. Needless to say, it was not a welcome reunion.
Approximately twelve minutes prior to commencing with today’s zipping -at the unlawful hour of nine in the morning- Merlin had been idly stirring shredded wheat into a depressing gruel (much to the disgust of the ever-vigilant, ever-attentive, red-haired cook,) basking in his own tardiness. 
Had he asked for counselling? No. 
Did he need counselling? None of their business.
Did he want to be dragged out of bed at half-eight by six overbearing housemates who apparently believed it was "necessary" or "overdue"; to be packed off to the Resource Centre so that they could “Evaluate any and all emotional or psychological issues which may have arisen for you, as a student whom we have identified as being at risk, before the beginning of this new academic term”? No, he did not!
Contrary to a promising forecast, the sky was a sapphire pool overhead. Thus, the fantasy of motorbiking down empty seafront roads, the brassy drumming of thunder and the gurgle of saltwater smothering his roaring engine (Hans called him a madcap but personally, Merlin preferred the term Raptor-trainer) was squashed. And given that a motorbike charging down the road in the wee hours of the morning was frowned upon, Merlin was forced to content himself with walking at a purposefully counter-productive pace to the bus stop down the hill. Stubbornly, he insisted on himself that he wore a cobalt-blue, long-sleeved shirt with grey trousers; dressing not for the weather he had, but the weather he wanted. This was a stupid idea and the sleeves were rolled up before he reached sea-level. He had to restrain himself from missing a bus entirely. It wasn’t crowded, because of course it wasn’t. Everyone else in Southend had better things to be doing. 
Like sleeping. 
The bus didn’t even go all the way to the college, stopping at least a dozen yards from the entrance like a noncommittal shrug. It took everything in Merlin to not  keep his butt planted securely in his seat; let the busyness of British public transport whisk him away to the Leigh on Sea station; catch a train to Fenchurch street; disappear into Central London; never be seen or heard from again, especially by Dr- as a student whom we have identified as being at risk- LeFey; then inevitably die from water pollution at a ripe old age of thirty-five. It took everything in him, but he walked down to the building, through glass-doors ornamented by a million sweaty fingerprints, and into a waiting room that smelt of Sellotape.
Unsurprisingly, the stately woman at the desk gave him barely a passing glance, handing him a form to fill in with the enthusiasm of an automatic door sliding open. Also unsurprisingly, the assistant behind her paused in rearranging a filing cabinet to brush a couple of sandy hairs behind her ear and chew the end of a pen like it was made of liquorice. She even wandered aimlessly away from her task altogether, sidling up to the front desk most inconspicuously.
Merlin's mood brightened. While he leant down to scribble his name and address on the paper, he winked discreetly in her direction.  In spite of definitely not looking at him, her cheeks turned beetroot crimson and what might have been a giggle or the beginnings of a small heart attack escaped her lips. 
Against all of the shoddiness of his day so far, Merlin grinned inwardly, sizing her up with half of his attention. Tall, slender, twenty-one, twenty-two most likely. Stray blonde curls framed a thickly tanned face, the rest piled atop her head in a bun. In all, not a bad picture, although her wardrobe did leave something to be desired: Bell-bottomed jeans and a T-shirt reading "Darth Vader was framed", betraying that 
A. She still thought that bell-bottomed anything was a good look, and 
B. That she had never paid more than six quid for a shirt. 
However, her figure and the hang of her hair more than made up for those discrepancies. Perhaps he could get something out of this counselling after all. With this in mind, he cleared his throat loudly,
"I'm terribly sorry, Miss," he waved the form vaguely in front of his face, "but I have a small problem."
Perhaps knowing exactly what he was doing and being used to it by this point, the woman, Ms Marion- who had decided that underneath a lace cardigan was the place for a name tag- ignored him completely, leaving miss bell-bottoms to round the edge of the counter and come to stand by his side over the offending form.
"What's the matter?" She asked, sincerely.
"Y'see," Merlin began, fixing her with a smile that even Jack admitted made anyone weak at the knees, "right here it's asking me for something that I just don't really get." He pointed accordingly, and bell-bottoms leant in closer. To get a really good look at the text, of course.
"We need your mobile number."
"Oh, I see, now here's the thing." Wearing a look of utter helplessness, he faced bell-bottoms completely. She appeared confused, her face becoming redder by the second. "I don't have one of those."
"What?"
"A mobile number." He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "You wouldn't mind terribly giving me yours, would you?"
If he squinted, Merlin was fairly certain he would see her bell-bottomed soul leaving her body and fluttering out of the window. He took her lack of reaction as an invitation,
"Lin Pendragon." He extended one hand, still cloaked in a fingerless glove the colour of wet bark. Despite his housemates deciding otherwise, Merlin was in fact not his actual name, and he would sooner be caught dead than introducing himself with it to an attractive young woman such as this. "Part time Ancient Historian, full time Romantic."
Bell-bottoms took the hand and shook it with unexpected firmness,
"Gowlle Delocks. Part time assistant, full time, um..." She seemed a little lost, floundering like a GCSE English paper "Full time-"
"Doctor Morgan LeFey. Part time tolerator of tardiness. This is not one of those times Mister Pendragon."
Spinning on his heel and effectively knocking the form onto the floor, Merlin faced the speaker, who stood in the doorway of a side-office like a disgruntled flamingo.
One thing came to mind when Merlin looked at the counsellor and that was the smell created when someone burns popcorn in a microwave. Forehead too small; nose too large, a hairy wart taking up most of it; everything that should end in a curve ending in an acute, needle-like point. She looked like a bad imitation of a Picasso painting come to life. Yellow hair that might have been blonde hung from her scalp, which he could almost see for how thin the stuff was; and her olive skin was definitely closer to a pale, sickly green from where Merlin was standing. The murky, sky-blue gown that would have looked excessive in the nineteenth century certainly didn't help. Summed up, she looked like a creature one would throw something at if it approached them on a dark night. Merlin felt his nose wrinkle in disgust.
So, he had been forced into counselling by a literal witch. Today was just going swimmingly wasn't it.
Dr Lefey's "office" was exactly what Merlin expected. Save of course for a cauldron,  broomstick and small children in display cases. Indigo curtains rather than blinds hung at each side of a wide picture window that looked out on a garden peppered by horrendous little gnomes. Their China faces were stained green by years of mildew build-up. Her wooden floor she had covered with gaudy, knitted rugs, and the sides of her desk had glow-in-the-dark stars stuck to them. On the off-white walls hung various, tasteless frames of all sorts and colours, each depicting a photograph taken by somebody who was evidently not a professional photographer. One such picture especially caught his eye.
"This you, Miss… Lefty?" The question was stupid, of course it was her, every other human being on the planet had at least managed to look like one. The photo showed the woman sitting in a cluster of children underneath a cobbled-together shack, a paper tiara on her head and a wand made out of several plastic straws. "The fairy princess in the mauve cardigan?"
"First," She answered, pushing the door shut behind her with her pointy hip, "It's Doctor Lefey, but you will call me Morgan in these sessions." Merlin couldn't help but smirk internally when she assumed there would be more than one of these nightmares. "Second, yes, that is me in the photograph, November, four years ago, Uganda, a recycling activity. And third," The slam of a hefty file being dropped unceremoniously on to a desk made Merlin jump. "I was the fairy Queen."
"Well, your majesty," he ducked his head in a mock bow, "you've aged..." At first, he searched for an adverb but then realised, he didn't particularly need one.
Morgan gave Merlin that pinched smile that he'd seen Arthur's girlfriend, Gwen, give customers at The Golden Goose Cafe when they told her she had no idea who she was dealing with. Also called the 'booting-you-into-next-Thursday-would-cost-twenty-pounds-an-hour-but-i-am-legitimately-considering-it' face. Merlin ignored her easily. He'd had years of practise doing so.
He plopped himself down onto a teal green sofa with a ketchup stain running up one arm. It wasn't a comfortable seat, but the garish pixie cushion did help somewhat. Morgan paid him no attention, leafing through the thick file which she had retrieved moments before. She paid him no attention for a little too long.
As aforementioned, Merlin was fine with ignoring people. Even enjoyed it sometimes. Unattractive waitresses, bin-collectors, overweight people at the gym, pedestrians. Being ignored, however, was a far less comfortable experience. Probably because it was such a rare one. He coughed into the pasty silence.
"Those your medical records?" The room was quiet enough to facilitate a pin drop sounding like a bowling ball being dropped. A long, controlled intake of breath was easily made out. “Cosmetic surgery?” 
"No." She said shortly, continuing with her browsing, "but they are yours." Merlin quickly stopped ignoring her. "And your birth records and your parents birth records and every other detail of your stimulating life story, Merlin." He short-circuited momentarily.
"That's not my-"
"No, it isn't your given name, but it's what your roommates call you and according to them, the one you prefer going by." Alright, those googly snitches were going to pay later. He recovered from his surprise gracefully as always, but that left him no less indignant.
"I- I wasn't aware that you'd have access to that information."
"Several reliable sources have identified you as being at risk, Merlin, everything in this folder is strictly need-to-know." A smile that could have been genuine spread across her features, and it may have been nice if it weren't so nauseating to look at. He crossed his arms and sunk lower into the sofa, muttering to himself,
"You hardly 'need-to-know' about the name though."
"Obviously, anything said in this session doesn't leave this room and the values and standards of Southend University are to be observed at all times." With quick strides on legs like skipping ropes, Morgan left her desk and placed herself gracelessly on a trademark shrink chair. 
The ‘So, Merlin.’ Was audible on her spindly lips before they left them.
"So, Merlin. First, I'd like you to relax," Difficult, I'm sitting across from a gorgon, I'm a man moments from death, "and tell me about your background, where you're from, your family." He gave her a blank look.
"You just told me that you have a massive file telling you that stuff."
"Yes, but I'd like to know that you also know that stuff. Reviewing your case will prove very difficult if we aren't on the same page. Now, if you please." With an exasperated puff of air into his cheeks, Merlin leant forward so that his elbows braced against his knees and his hands clasped together.
"Fine. I was born in Seoul, South Korea; my parents died in a car accident when I was three. I was brought to England to live with an aunt in Ipswich."
"And you were comfortable with this change?" The interruption caused Merlin to blank for a second.
"Wha- I was three. I was comfortable sitting in a tumble dryer with knickers on my head!" This retort was not appreciated, judging by the tapping of Morgan's pencil against a green clipboard that had seemingly materialised out of thin air.
"These are regulation questions, try not to overthink your answers." With this she returned to drawing writing utensils from the ether apparently, a silent signal for him to continue. Already, Merlin's mind was going through fantasies of sprinting down the hill, across the high street and off the end of Southend pier.
"Alright then, the aunt was arrested when I was six-"
"Why was she arrested?"
"Are shrinks meant to interrupt their patients?"
"I'm not a shrink, I'm a University counsellor, why was your aunt arrested?" Nothing about this experience was relaxing. Getting a Frostino with Miss Delocks, the part-time-assistant would have been relaxing.
"Possession of illegal firearms. Just a taser. Five years in prison under the law of the United Kingdom. Happy?"
"Yes, this is very helpful. So, your guardian was arrested and…"
"I went into care, obviously. Seven foster homes over six years. Adopted after my eleventh birthday by Igraine Pendragon and her husband. I moved into their home in York, Summered in Cumbria; went to school with their son. Igraine died when I was fifteen, Uther when I was seventeen. Arthur and I moved out to one of the cottages we own in Leigh two years ago. It was all perfectly fine and now here I am at Southend University in a counselling session I didn't ask for with a counsellor that I'm certain nobody has ever asked for." Okay, the last bit slipped out half unwarranted, but he might as well be honest.
Long, mole-flecked fingers curled and tightened around the edges of her clipboard, leaving dents in the malleable green cork like it was plasticine.
"Right." Came a snarled response from between smiling teeth. "Now, on to some more current information: Who do you live with during your time at the University?"
"Igraine’s son, Arthur, and the five student tenants who rent out rooms." That felt weird to say. For some reason, whenever Merlin thought about the six other occupants of Stanrocc cottage, it was hard to remember that they weren’t all related in one way or another.
“Right, and are you comfortable with these living arrangements?”
“I’m a University student who gets to live in a fully catered house free of charge, what do you think?” The pinched ‘threaten-to-speak-to-my-manager-again-and-I-will-hit-you-with-a-shoe’ smile returned.
“Okay then.” A rustling of paper signalled that the background questions were mercifully coming to a close, as, Merlin hoped, was this entire experience. Unfortunately, the next words out of the witches’ mouth weren’t, ‘thank you for your time, Mister Pendragon, I hope you and Miss Delocks have a splendid afternoon.’ Instead she intertwined her grotesque fingers and looked him in the eye. The fact that he didn’t turn to stone was a shock.
“Now, Merlin, I’d like to know what features you look for when meeting new people.” Alright, not what he’d wanted or expected to hear.
“Is this a personal interview-”
“Just-” Morgan closed her eyes and pressed her lips together until they completely disappeared into her face. “Answer the question, Merlin.”
“I look for the same things anyone looks for. Do they look approachable? Would I want to be seen with them out and about? Those kinds of things.” He darted his eyes from Morgan’s varicose ankles to her sloping forehead. 
“So, you base the value of other people’s company solely upon their outward appearance and draw any and all judgements from those assets?” There were too many words in that sentence, was all Merlin could think in response. When he did finally puzzle out what the question actually was, he gave the woman a jovial nod. Finally, they were on the same wavelength.
“Of course I do, how a person looks tells you a lot about who they are, doesn’t it?” 
Morgan must have been writing something down, but it still felt as though her eyes had not left Merlin for a second. An intake of breath through her wide nostrils filled the room.
“To some extent, maybe.” She shifted on her chair and the look in her eye of a person who had gotten exactly what they wanted was unnerving. “Merlin, do you think you feel this way about other people because these mentalities could have been forced on you in the past?” Her nasal voice had become one of understanding and professionalism, the Northern accent thinning considerably. Merlin didn’t like it at all. “Maybe you feel as though you personally are liked or disliked for nothing besides how you look?”
Throughout this entire, stupid session, Merlin had been wanting to avoid answering questions. Now all he wanted to do was say something so devastating yet so on point that it would shut this witch up for the rest of her career. And yet his tongue remained still, rooted to the floor of his mouth.
“I see.” The counsellor stood and shook out her skirts with the smug air of a woman victorious. Merlin wanted to throw something at her. Like a shoe. She went around to the back of her desk and retrieved a post-it-note shaped like a unicorn. “I’m giving until the beginning of the new term to combat this problem that we seem to have here." In one motion she ripped away the post it note and was making her way back towards him, brandishing it like a literal curse rather than simply the figurative one that it clearly was. She handed it to him unforgivingly.
"I'd like you to try a social activity that is purely audio based. Interactions with others that don't allow them to see your appearance." The urge to crumple the note into a ball was strong. “I’ll schedule another session three weeks from now.”
"And what if I'm perfectly happy with the way things are? I don't need to change anything." Merlin shot back, and control of the situation brushed his fingertips before Morgan's condescending smile dragged it out of reach again.
"Tell me, Merlin, how many reports do you think I received from your professors and peers of this self-important, judgemental behaviour?" Merlin was already standing as he milled the question over for a full couple of seconds.
"One or two, I'd imagine." He finally mumbled. The witch drummed her pencil against her crossed arms and shook her head. "Well," Merlin started, "it can't have been-"
"Twenty-four." She didn't look victorious now, just a little sorry. That was so much worse. "Twenty-four different people, who you have known for only a year or so. Still think you don't need to change anything?"
Merlin didn't want to look around at her ridiculous face again. He didn't think he even knew twenty-four people well enough for them to report him. Her voice carried on no matter how much he wanted it not to.
"If I don’t see improvement three weeks from now, regardless of how you feel about it, I won't have anything to present against a decision to remove you from your course entirely."
The facts stung like poisonous, green smoke in Merlin's head. He pulled at the ornamented door handle, dismissing himself. Then a question came into his mind and forced itself to be asked.
"What activities would you suggest, then?"
"Start an interactive podcast; volunteer for a University chat-line; Online gaming." Merlin's humourless scoff punctuated her list.
"Yeah, no. I'm not an ‘over the phone’ kind of guy." He stepped out into the hallway and noticed Miss Delocks' head spin in his direction. The last ten minutes had dampened any mood he might have been in for going out, but that didn't mean he couldn't at least try to cheer himself up. He heard one last reply from the witch before he strode off in the assistant’s direction,
"Keep that attitude up and you won't be a "Part-time Ancient Historian" either."

In case the presence of a pale pink fiesta with mermaid stickers running along the doors wasn’t indicative enough, the loud guffaws and scattered shouts told Merlin that his housemates had company. This was before he even reached the top of the hill. Night was creeping across the sky already. Merlin would have liked to stay out longer, but the witches’ words had stuck a little too keenly to him, and a college bar surrounded by five beautiful young ladies was not, it seemed, the best place to process things.
Stanrocc cottage was one of a kind really. It was called a cottage because it managed to be too small to be a villa but also too pretty to be a house. The walls were brick, covered in an artsy kind of cement stuff with shells mixed into it, then painted white. Kingfisher blue window frames peeked out from beneath an overgrowth of marble-like gladioli and ballet-slipper foxgloves. The diminutive front garden was mostly taken up by the wild-cherry tree that had looked hurricanes and landfalls in the face, released a string of angry expletives and stayed precisely where it was with zero intention of ever going away. Around its ankles sprung up Snowdrops every Winter, but right now, in the twilight of August, the space was taken up by a hoard of decaying daffodil corpses.
Through one of the windows, a blonde head was just visible. It stood up haphazardly and came to the door when Merlin knocked. Jack appeared in the doorway, but he’d barely laid eyes on Merlin before he was leaning back inside and shouting into the noisy fray, his accent thick, probably from laughing,
“Ee’s back!” With that he left the door hanging open. Merlin entered, a little disgruntled at the lack of welcome, until he got inside and found out why. Seated on the various beanbags, chairs, and sofas, were their usual six occupants, but with them were four less usual ones. Alright, not that unusual, three of them Merlin knew he recognised.
First was Arthur’s fiancée, Gwen. She was a common recurring visitor. Whenever Arthur wasn’t following her around the café, she was following him around the cottage. The other two present were less clearly defined by engagement rings or Facebook relationship status’. 
Upon sitting back down on his very expensive armchair, Jack had one-hundred-and-fifty centimetres of pink-leggings wearing, ashen skinned vegetarian seating herself comfortably on his lap. That one was Viviane… Or Niniane. Merlin never actually paid attention when Jack gushed about her, but he was almost sure her name was one of those. She was Jack’s “study partner'', both of them being up and coming chemists. Funny, because to Merlin’s knowledge, studying didn’t usually involve reclining on each other’s laps; playing with each other’s hair (or her playing with his, at least) and going out on spa trips together. If they weren’t together, Merlin couldn’t blame Jack. All spread-out, round eyes and large lips, she did look a little like a fish with legs.
Lastly there was Briar. Nobody actually knew what Briar was. Was she Hans’ friend? His girlfriend? A kind of omnivorous goat? It was a mystery. Altogether they knew seven things about her: Like Hans, she was German; she took fencing lessons; her wardrobe consisted entirely of ankle-length, floaty skirts and a special talent of hers was tripping over literal air. She slept with a baseball bat, wore purple contacts in her eyes and, while you wouldn’t imagine so from her physique, she had the appetite of a full grown horse. They didn’t even know what she was doing at the Uni. With her legs folded in front of her, she leant on her maybe-boyfriend-maybe-friend’s signature bean bag chair, one hand holding a row of scrabble pieces. The other was surreptitiously burrowing through Hans’ homemade bag of steak flavoured crisps, which famously tasted like dog food to everyone but those two. The curly-headed bag-holder didn’t seem to mind at all.
There was one other girl with them, seated on a folding chair between Briar’s feet and Arthur’s elbow. Merlin gave her barely a passing glance however, taking in a round figure, cherry-pink shorts, and shoulder-length brown hair before he lost interest. 
Maybe you feel as though you personally are liked or disliked for nothing besides how you look.
The counsellor’s stupid voice drove through his thoughts unbidden like an off-rail train. He shook his head and shoved them back down into his subconscious where they belonged, ready to be forgotten. 
The ringing of the words, however, was replaced by his stomach gurgling irritably. A muffin and a salted-caramel hot chocolate were not enough to go on for a whole afternoon. His eyes fell on the Chinese food containers strewn about the coffee table and surrounding floor. A takeaway was a rare occasion in Stanrocc cottage. In the entire county of Essex, there were exactly four fast-food establishments that Hans trusted and respected, and thus, would allow them to purchase from. Two of these were fish-and-chip shops; one- Merlin’s particular favourite- did flame-grilled kebabs; and the last one was the Jade Dragon Restaurant. Very expensive- meaning Jack was probably to thank for it- and very, very good Chinese food. It dawned on Merlin a little late that this uncharacteristic treat might have been meant to make him feel better, judging by the sizeable stack of barbecue kebab boxes that could be seen just inside the kitchen door. Nobody else liked barbecue kebabs.
But he was too tired and too hungry to feel bad for not coming back. He’d been busy.
 The energetic game of scrabble had come to a standstill when his arrival was announced. Now ten pairs of eyes were on him and six of them were concerned. Merlin made for the kitchen, the multitude of expectant faces making his chest knot.
 “Don’t worry about me,” he insisted, half-heartedly when he noticed both Arthur and Hans shifting as if to get up. “I’m going to bed.”
 Noki, the second of the triplets, swept up a container filled with Prawn crackers and extended them in Merlin’s direction. He waved them away dismissively.
 “Really, it’s fine, I’ll grab something from the fridge.” And with that he left the room.
 Much to his dismay, the fridge was a sorry sight, being mostly bare save for half a watermelon and an empty milk carton. It was a Friday, he soon remembered, which meant Hans would be grocery shopping tomorrow. Also, Briar was there.
 Footsteps came thudding along the short passage between the living room and the kitchen. Merlin didn’t have to look up to know that an orange vest with arms was blocking the door.
 “What do you want, Arthur?” Even in the fridge, Merlin could feel the glare in the back of his head. Crossed arms also wouldn’t be a surprise.
 “I want to know where you’ve been, and why you didn’t feel the need to tell us you weren’t coming back?” Merlin finally selected a yogurt cowering at the very back with a best-before date of yesterday. He shut the fridge door with his foot, searching for a clean spoon on the draining board.
 “You know you aren’t actually my dad, right?” He plunged the end of the spoon through the paper covering and started ripping the excess away. “I can go where I want.”
 “No.” Arthur had now moved completely into the room. “But you’re still one of us, mate, and we were all worried. The triplets almost got in the truck to come pull you out of whatever ditch you’d fallen into.” Merlin actually looked him in the face this time. He was scratching his ghost of a goatee the way he always did when he felt in deep water. “You didn’t exactly leave in great spirits this morning.”
 “Lurrk, uum fyrn.” Merlin said through a mouthful of yogurt. The stuff was absolutely repulsive, but it was the best conversation avoidance technique he had without a book to hand. He manoeuvred around Arthur, trying desperately to keep from openly weeping at the foul stuff. The best-before date ought to have been the may-not-kill-you-before date. 
“Yeah,” Arthur sighed behind him. “I can see that. But you’re-“ Merlin dashed up the stairs, discarding the yogurt discreetly in the kitchen bin as he passed it.
Arthur had changed since meeting Gwen. It was like something had been plucked out of him. The thing that had made Merlin feel close to him while everything was happening: The adoption, losing both their parents. It was like Arthur had grown up, changed somehow. And had left Merlin behind.
 And from what he had seen in the other room, Arthur wasn't the only one.
 Merlin emptied the yogurt out of his mouth and gargled mouthwash to get rid of the lingering flavour of overripe strawberries. A knock at his bedroom door interrupted him.
 “What did the counsellor say?” It was Arthur again. Merlin had honestly had enough of today. Why couldn’t everyone just leave him be? He wasn’t hurting anyone.
He poked his head out, startling his friend who still had his fist raised to knock again.
 “She suggested I take up gaming.”
-*-
Hours later, Merlin turned over his pillow again, trying his absolute hardest to fall asleep. He’d tried relaying a movie in his head, but thinking about the ending just made him sad. He’d tried reading his new book, but Neil Gaiman wasn't particularly relaxing. At last he had just shut his eyes and told himself to sleep, with real authority and gumption. That just made him more awake because his brain hated him.
Eventually he sat up and tugged the string on his lamp. The clock on his desk told him it was 2:26. Merlin’s bones told him that he was actually in a void in which time was a construct of society, and he felt much more inclined to believe the latter. Seeing as somebody, probably Hans, had left a plate of reheated kebabs in front of his door, Merlin hadn’t starved, so he couldn’t explain the hollow discomfort that was plaguing him now.
Actually, he could, he just didn’t want to.
Twenty-four people thought he was a self-important, narcissistic idiot.
Walking around his room to clear his head quickly turned into walking downstairs and into the kitchen to get some shreddies. There were still a few chocolate ones left, them mercifully being the one cereal that Briar didn’t love more than life itself.
As he dejectedly spooned the stuff into his mouth, green smoke came unfiltered through his head again, spelling out: I won't have anything to present against a decision to remove you from your course entirely. Merlin groaned and pulled at his bark coloured hair.
Ancient and Medieval History, while not a popular course, was still difficult to get into. Only twelve or so universities in the country even offered it. And even then, Southend alone offered the module on folklore and mythologies. So many essays, so many projects, so much time spent reading about the sordid love-lives of ancient deities. For nothing apparently. All because some people he didn’t know thought he was self-obsessed.
Nothing added up.
And gaming? Really. Podcasts and chat-lines were an instant nope, but gaming. In his entire twenty years, Merlin had played one game and one game alone. And well, that one was…
Next thing he knew, Merlin had left the congealed cereal lonely on the sink and was fighting his way through a wall of cobwebs into the storage room. The lights hadn’t worked in there for years, so Merlin clasped a battery powered torch from Colchester castle like a lifeline.
With his finger and thumb he gingerly shifted bicycles, boxes of DVDs and even a taxidermy rabbit that had gone to holes, until he saw it. The shiny, green corner of a laptop-games-console-hybrid emerged from the darkness. And then was immediately plunged back into it when the torch exploded in Merlin’s hand, the light flickering away with a puff of smoke. Merlin had expected this, but that didn’t stop him from grabbing the game and high-tailing it out of the storage room before the shadows could grab his ankles and eat him. Safe in his own bedroom again, Merlin intrepidly opened the game.
Fairytale Island was created by Avalon Games nine years ago. In its entire run, localised in Southern England, it sold about three-hundred consoles. These consoles were box-like laptops, but a more accurate comparison would be an oversized Nintendo DS. The keyboard-space was taken up by the controls, while the screen was above. Graphics-wise, it was surprisingly ahead of its time. What you did was you uploaded a full body photograph of yourself, lined up the limbs and head, and voila, you had your avatar!
This particular console had been bought by an incredible woman named Igraine, for the eleven year old boy whom she had fearlessly rescued. Merlin ran a finger gently over the sticker, feeling the scratchy remnants of its glitter-glue border. On it was a simple little message, rounded off with a clumsy smiley face and the letter I, in wide swirling print.
For the most handsome Prince on Fairytale Island!!!
Obviously his avatar had to change, lest he wanted to continue with the slenderman-esque creature created by his imaginative twelve-year-old self.
Merlin had to stand on his bed to get himself into the frame of his plug-in webcam. Not really knowing what to do with his arms, he did the only rational thing and T-posed. In his pyjamas. In front of a game for preteens. At twenty past two in the morning. 
If one of his housemates came in now he would kill them and dissolve the body in acid.
The screen counted down, readying the camera.
Three… Two… O-ghlowhfsajfhlsdkhlhdsjfh…………….Error………...rebooting, thank you for your patience.
Well. That seemed fair.
Hopping down as quietly as possible, Merlin watched the static clear from the screen like ghost lightning. He should have expected it. Motorcyclists had long said that ‘Love is when you like someone as much as your motorbike.” Merlin was inclined to disagree, because his bike was the one piece of mechanical equipment that didn’t figure it should explode whenever he dared breathe nearby. No bond would ever be able to trump that kind of loyalty.
Reservedly, he fiddled with a Rubix cube until the screen returned to normal. Nothing seemed that wrong with it.
Until his avatar loaded again.
A brief visit to the bathroom mirror was made so that Merlin could examine both his eyes, but when he came back they found the same sight.
Where there should have been a tall, thin, carrot-shaped, Merlinish mage character, there now resided a tiny, stout- if still Merlinish- one. And it was green. Not even a nice green, like fern or emerald or sage. This was a green that reminded a person of snot and nothing else… Except maybe a dehydrated basil plant.
Merlin bashed his head against the edge of his desk. What had that witch done to him? Why was he concerned about this? 
Giving up on answering that question, he looked up to face the diminutive monster that bobbed in place like an excitable pea with legs. Maybe it wasn’t so bad, he tried to reason. If he didn’t focus, it almost looked like an obese, unwell Gollum. But hey, maybe the other players will like that kind of thing?
Without realising it, Merlin scoffed out loud at himself.
Other players? This game had a range of a thousand kilometres squared and was being handled by a technopollyon (a word that was not a word until Merlin discovered there was no term for a person who inadvertently breaks technology, but there were a multitude of Greek words that he could misuse in its place.)
The chances of another pathetic Englishman within his third of Essex being in possession of and online on Fairytale Island at two-thirty that night, were not worth thinking about. Because they were nonexistant.
With that in mind, Merlin took one last bitter look at his avatar, and continued resolutely on to game.

Wow! Thanks for reading that!!! I hope you enjoyed it!
(Btw, Gwen, Viviane and Briar are my headcannons for the end credit characters and Morgan LeFey is the fairy princess)
Again, thanks so much. I’m putting the next chapter up at some point, this one from Snow’s perspective.

A Cinderella Story: Chapter 2

Warning: Ableist slurs
Chapter 1
Chapter 2 (new)
         “I can’t go!” Tony wheedled, following Pepper around the living room.  “I don’t want him to know who I am, and it’s not like I can wear a mask to meet him!”
           “Tony-!” Pepper exhaled and pinched the bridge of her nose. “Why don’t you want him to know who you are?”
           “Because being a Stark…it just comes with so much baggage.” Tony grimaced.  “You know? I just want to be just Tony, not Tony Stark.”
           Pepper studied him with exasperation and Tony did his best to look both pitiful and sincere. “Fine.  You’re being ridiculous, but fine.  But while I’m out, I’m going to sit down and have a nice lunch where I don’t look at or think about any of this,” she said, gesturing to the mess of papers around them.
           “Totally fair.  You should.” Tony gave her a fifty from his wallet and kissed her on the cheek.  Slowly, so as to not start any gossip, Tony had been selling off some of his mom’s treasured antiques; the most recent to go was a two hundred year old china cabinet that she’d inherited from her aunt.  Tony had been sad to see it go – Mother had been so proud of it – but he enjoyed the ten grand he’d gotten for it, since that let him pay the bills for a few more months.
           “And don’t mess with my computer,” she added.  “I’m in the middle of something, and I don’t want you to accidentally close a screen or mess with my spreadsheet.”
           “Wouldn’t dream of it,” Tony promised, putting one hand over his heart and the other in the air.
           “You owe me more than lunch for that,” Pepper announced when she came back two hours later, kicking the door closed behind her as she put her purse down and took off her shoes. “That poor boy looked so disappointed but was still so polite about it.”
           Tony winced. “Was he really mad?”
           “No, of course not.  He’s far too much of a gentleman to be mad about it.” She glared at him, holding his phone out of his reach.  “You be good to him, Tony, you hear me?”
           “I really like him, Pep,” he said. “I'm going to be honest with him and I won’t make any promises I can’t keep.”
           "Honest with him like not telling him who you are?" Pepper said pointedly, raising an eyebrow.
           "Look, I don't need your help to feel bad about that part, but do you blame me?"
           Pepper sighed as she handed over the phone, because she knew what he meant.  As soon as the gossip rags had found out about the long hours Pepper was putting in here at Tony's home, they had been relentless trying to get pictures of them together. “I’m not going to lecture you anymore, but only because he’s clearly got it just as bad as you do.”
           “Yeah?” Tony’s shoulders relaxed, releasing a tension he hadn’t noticed until it was gone.  As he unlocked the phone he was unable to keep the foolish grin from his face as he put Bucky’s number into his contact list and texted him.  "You're the best. Have I mentioned that lately?"
                                                ***
           Bucky heard his phone ding and gladly took a break from filling in information on the Veteran Administration’s antiquated database.  His heart jumped when he saw it was a message from Tony.
           Hey handsome, how’s your day going?
           Meh, Bucky wrote back. Same same. You?
           Tony’s next message was a picture of what looked like a fort built out of those cardboard boxes used to store paperwork, with someone, probably Tony given that tousled dark hair, peering over the top, eyes concealed by giant binoculars.   While Bucky was smiling goofily at the picture, his phone chimed again.  Pepper is making me go to a board meeting. Then came a gif of a vampire hissing at sunlight.
           Bucky laughed and took a picture of the stack of files on his desk.  I have to type all of this into the computer ONE HANDED! Wanna trade?
           It only took a moment for Tony’s response to come back.  No voice to text?
           Bucky snorted. Where do you think I work, Stark Industries? He took a picture of his computer, one of those giant CPUs with the clunky monitor that was still running on last decade’s version of Windows, and sent it.
           I think I’ve seen one of those in a museum, was Tony’s response. What does it run on? Windows 2.0?
           I don’t know. There’s a family of mice that have been living in it for enough generations to have become sentient, I’ll ask them.
           You do that.  What are you doing later?
           Bucky’s heart jumped again and he sat up a little straighter. Nothing really. Maybe the gym. Why?
           I’d really love to hear your voice tonight.  Call me?
           Bucky sighed, trying not to feel too disappointed. Of course, sweetheart, he wrote back. What time? For weeks now, this had been most of their interactions; lots of texts during the day and a few stolen hours on the phone together when they weren't too busy or tired.
           Close to bed time.  I'll help you relax ;)   Bucky laughed aloud at that, disappointment forgotten.  The rest of the afternoon went by about as quickly one would expect; Bucky forced himself to go to the gym for all the usual reasons, and then straightened his apartment to kill even more time. He took a shower and then finally at 9:30 he figured it was late enough to call.  
          Settling back onto his nice clean sheets, he dialed Tony’s number.  “Gonna help me relax, huh? What did you have in mind?” he asked when he heard Tony pick up.
           “Soothing ocean noises, naturally. Kissshhhhh, kissshhhhhh, scraw scraw, whooooooaarrrrrrrr – that last one was whale song by the way, very New Age. Why, what did you have in mind?”
           “I wish I were kissing you,” Bucky said. “I think I just fell in love with you because you think seagulls say ‘scraw.’”
           “Excuse me,” Tony said, sounding offended. “You have apparently never heard seagulls fighting over a french fry. They definitely say scraw.”
           Bucky grinned at the ceiling. “If you say so.  Now take your clothes off.”
           Tony huffed out a laugh.  “This is the most aggressive phone sex I’ve ever had.  I like it.” In the background Bucky heard Pepper shout “Tony! Get the hell out of here!” while Tony laughed.  “Ok, ok, I’m in my room,” he said, and then he made a noise like he was laying down for the first time in a really long time, a sighing groan that made Bucky’s heart ache. “Getting naked now.”
           “Good. Wish I could be there to do it for you,” Bucky said, closing his eyes so he could imagine it.  
           “Yeah?” There was the ruffling of clothing in the background. “Well, I’m definitely in the mood to just lay back and let you do all the work,” he said, tiredness starting to bleed into his voice.
           “That’s fine, sweetheart. I’d be happy to take care of you.”  Bucky put the phone on speaker and set it on the pillow next to his ear as he shoved his own pants over his hips.  "You’ve had such a long day, I just want to make you feel good.”
           “Oh, you already are,” Tony murmured.  “Just hearing your voice is enough to make my day better."
           That made a heat bloom in Bucky’s chest.  He smiled at the ceiling and said, “I'm going to start by kissing that sweet, smart mouth of yours. I could kiss you for hours, just lay there and feel your body next to mine."
           “Mmm, yeah,” Tony said, voice deepening. “That sounds nice.”
           "But eventually I'm going to kiss my way down your neck, then I'm going to see how sensitive your nipples are. Would you like that? For me to put my mouth all over your chest, tease your nipples until they are hard and aching?"
           "Oh yeah, I'd like that," Tony said, his breath coming faster now.
           "Then I would kiss my way down your stomach while I was pulling your pants off. I’d get between your legs and press a kiss to the inside of your thigh.” Bucky traced lazy patterns on the skin below his belly button, avoiding his erection.  “I like sucking bruises there, something that only you and I would know about.”
           "Yessss," Tony said on a sigh. "I want you to mark me up, let me know that I'm yours."
           "Fuck, Tony," Bucky said roughly. He let his eyes drift shut, imaging Tony naked and spread out on his bed, his mobile mouth already swollen and bitten red, chest and thighs pink from Bucky's mouth. “As I work my way up your thighs, I spread your knees nice and wide to make room for me, maybe drape them over my shoulders."
           Tony made another noise, deep in his chest, that went straight to Bucky's cock. "While you’re down there, I want to run my fingers through that dark silky hair of yours,” he said.  "Maybe pull on it a little."
           Yes, do that, Bucky thought with a shiver of arousal. "You know, it’s longer than the last time you saw it. You could get good fistfuls of it and direct me where you wanted me.”  
           Tony moaned and Bucky thought he could hear the slick sounds of Tony touching himself. “After all of that, I don’t know if I could put up with much more teasing, I’d definitely want your mouth on me like, yesterday.”
           "So you're the impatient type?"  Bucky pictured that, Tony’s thighs tensing restlessly, face and chest flush with arousal.  "Well, this is my rodeo and since I'm not in a hurry, I'm going to take my time now that I've finally got you under me and naked." Encouraged by Tony's moan, Bucky continued, "Tell me how you like it, baby, so that I can make it good for you. You want me to suck it hard and fast or slow and sloppy?”  He finally gave in and wrapped his hand around himself, stroking slowly so he could concentrate on the sounds coming through the phone. “I’d like to take it as deep as I could, see how much I could take.”
           Tony’s breath hitched on another moan. “I’m not going to last long," he said breathlessly.  "Seeing your lips wrapped around my cock would probably do it for me.” The slick wet sounds coming through the phone got faster.
           “Yeah?” Bucky said roughly, his own hand moving faster too.  “Which would you like better, me holding you down so I could work you over nice and slow, or would you want to hold my head still while you fuck my mouth?”  God, Bucky would love it either way – the slight sting as Tony pulled his hair and the look of hot arousal in his eyes as he chased his orgasm, or wringing desperate noises from him as he took Tony right to the edge and backed off until he couldn’t take it anymore.
           In his ear, Tony cursed and panted. “I think about your mouth all the time, Bucky. How your body felt against mine. I wish I could have gotten my hands on your skin that night.”
           Bucky had to squeeze the base of his cock hard to keep from coming at the sound of Tony falling apart. “Well you’ve got me now, sweetheart. How about you come down my throat then you can do whatever you want to me?”
           Tony’s long, drawn out moan as he came sent a hot shiver all the way down Bucky’s spine. “Fuck,” he finally said breathlessly. “I mean…damn. You are good at that.”
           “Mmm, I’ve been told I have a good sex voice,” Bucky purred, wishing he could see Tony relaxed and happy. “You’re not half bad yourself.”
           Tony’s laugh at that was deep and rumbly, like he was already drifting to sleep. “If I had more energy, I’d tell you everything I’d like to do to you, but for now, why don’t you come up here and show me how you like to touch yourself?”
           “Yeah, I’d like that,” Bucky said, letting himself sink back into the fantasy. “I’d crawl up your body and straddle your waist, looking at you all fucked out and boneless under me.”
           “At your mercy, even,” Tony said, and fuck, yeah, that was hot. Tony’s hands handcuffed to the headboard so that Bucky could take his time, maybe edging him until Tony was begging for it. Bucky grunted and pressed his head back against the pillow, hand moving faster over his cock.  “Oh, you like that, don’t you, sweetheart?” Tony’s voice was dark and knowing and Bucky could just imagine the wicked look in his eyes.  “You want to tie me up and have your way with me, don’t you? Tell me, do you like to use toys, because I have a lot of fun toys,” and that, that was it, the image of Tony writhing, bound and blindfolded, while Bucky used a vibrator on him broke Bucky’s brain.  The air punched out of him with a helpless grunt as he spilled, hot and messy, all over his stomach and chest. His hips jerked with the force of it and it felt like it just kept going, waves and waves of uncoiling pleasure, all the way to his toes.  He eventually managed a ragged inhale, then another, finally realizing that Tony had been murmuring praise in his ear the whole time.
           “Damn, that was hot,” Tony said as Bucky shivered one last time and looked for something to clean himself off with.  “If I was less tired, it would make me want to go again.”
           “Oh, God, gimme a minute,” Bucky said with a smile, tossing his now extra dirty towel in the direction of the laundry. “I’m an old man here.” He stretched and surprised himself by yawning.
           “Uh huh,” Tony said skeptically, then his voice softened. “Get some sleep, Bucky.  Thanks for calling.”
           “Oh, no, thank you.  You get some rest, too, ok?” Tony muttered something sleepily that sounded like an affirmative and Bucky's heart ached; I love you, was on the tip of his tongue but Bucky swallowed it back and hung up before he said something foolish.
                                                        ***
           Two weeks later, Bucky was working the front desk at the VA when he heard the jingle of the door opening.  "Welcome to the VA, make sure you sign in," he said automatically, gesturing to the clipboard on the desk while he finished reading the latest guidance on benefits packages.
           “Are you James Barnes?”
           “Yes, how can I help you?” Bucky looked up and frowned for a second before he forced his expression to be politely blank; the man in front of him looked like an entitled douchebag instead of a typical veteran, but this was supposed to be a judgement free zone so Bucky tried to rein in his assumptions.
           “I need to speak to you about Tony Stark.”
           “I’m sorry, who?  You know, we’re not allowed to talk about ongoing cases-”
           “Don’t be coy, son,” the man said impatiently and pulled out a folded piece of paper out of his pocket and placed it in front of Bucky.  It was a long list of phone numbers and times, many of which had been highlighted, and when Bucky looked at it he realized that his number was the one that had been marked up.  “You’ve been calling and texting with him for weeks now, several times a day.”
           “Oh.” Bucky blinked a couple of times when he realized that the man was talking about his Tony. Whose last name was Stark, apparently. “Ok…what about him?” Bucky said as he handed the sheet of paper back to the man.
           “I think we’re going to need a few minutes,” the man said.  “You might want to take your lunch break.”
           “Stark Industries,” Bucky repeated, still stunned. “He’s a billionaire?”
           “I’m sorry you had to hear it from me,” Obadiah Stane said with sympathy.  “I don’t know why he didn’t tell you himself.”
           Bucky was quiet for a long time, digesting that information, before he said, “So why are you here, then?”
           Stane unbuttoned his suit jacket and smoothed his tie down as he sat back in his chair, crossing his arms over his chest.  “I’ve been trying to find a nice way to say this, but I’m just going to give it to you straight.  I’ve been cleaning up after the Starks for a long time, first Howard, and then Tony when he hit puberty.  Lots of…indiscretions, disappointed people with broken hearts.”  He scratched his beard.  “Tony’s phone is billed to Stark Industries, so when I noticed that he’d been texting someone a lot all of a sudden, I realized that it was happening all over again.”  He paused, waiting for Bucky to say something, before he eventually said, “Let me guess:  he texts a lot, but can’t talk much, and never has time to see you in person.  Sound familiar?”
           “He works a lot,” Bucky said defensively.  “I know he tries-”
           “Works a lot?” Stane laughed.  “Son, Tony only comes into Stark Industries maybe two or three times a month.  That’s all he’s ever done.  I’d hoped that after his parents died, he would want to take over, but…”  He shrugged and spread his hands wide, and Bucky hated the look of sympathy that came over his face.  “Look, son, I’m just here to make sure you don’t get hurt.  You understand?”
           “I understand,” Bucky said automatically, although he didn’t really.  Just who the hell did this guy think he was?
           “You know he is also living with someone, right? Has been for a while now.”
           Bucky understood now that he needed to just keep his mouth shut, even though he knew about Pepper, had met her, and she had laughed at the idea that she and Tony were dating.  For some reason Stane was playing some kind of game and Bucky was tired of giving him ammunition. “I think I need to get back to work,” he said, sliding Stane’s papers across the table and standing.  “You’ve given me a lot to think about.”
           “I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news,” he said, getting to his feet as well.  “Believe me, I just want what’s best for everyone, especially Tony, and you seem like a good kid.”
           Bucky went back to work, too stunned just yet to want to confront Tony about what Stane said.  But as the day went on and the more he thought about it, the more furious he got; how long had this guy Stane been going around sabotaging Tony’s relationships? And what lengths would he go to to make sure he got what he wanted?  The whole situation seemed fishy as hell.
           At the end of the day, Bucky set his jaw and made a decision.  It took him thirty minutes of transferred calls, dropping Tony’s name, and being on hold, but he eventually got to Stane’s personal secretary.  “Yes, I’d like to leave a message,” he said. “Tell Stane that this is James Barnes, and if he wants me to stay away from Tony Stark, he’s going to have to make it worth my while.  Otherwise, I’m going to go to the tabloids and see what kind of story they can make about it.”
           His next call was to an old Army buddy, and then he went home and waited for the fish to bite.
           It didn't take long; the next day Stane just showed up at the café where Bucky was eating lunch and sat down at his table.
           “Barnes,” he said.  “That was a hell of a message you left.”
           Bucky straightened slowly and eyed Stane, wiping his mouth and taking a sip of his soda before answering.  “Well, I said I had a lot to think about, and so I did.  Then I came to a couple of realizations, namely that if you are so worried about Tony getting hurt, maybe it was worth something to you to make sure it didn’t happen.”
           “Why don’t you just tell me what you want, Barnes?” Stane said, crossing his arms over his barrel chest.
           “Fine.“ Bucky leaned forward and tapped his finger against the table. “Look, the way I figure it, if he's as rich as you say, I could probably have Tony paying for things for years.  VA benefits don’t go all that far, you see what I’m saying? So if you want me to break up with him, then I want all that money up front.  If not, I hear newspapers pay good money for stories about Tony Stark, and I feel like this would be a doozy.”
           “You greedy little pissant,” Stane said after a moment, the look of blank pleasantness never leaving his face.  He patted his pocket and pulled out a cigar.  “You have no idea who you are dealing with, do you?” He light the cigar with a match then dropped the match in Bucky's drink.
           Bucky curled his lip and sat back. “What are you going to do? Take my other arm? I’ve already been through hell, old man.  You’re just another stuck up rich guy who thinks they can get whatever they want.  Well this time, to get what you want you gotta pay for it.”
           “Listen to me, you crippled piece of shit,” Stane snarled, showing the first crack in his ‘good old boy’ façade.  “First of all, you aren’t getting a fucking penny out of Stark, because that entitled brat is broke as shit, I made sure of it.” Stane took a deep drag of his cigar and blew out the smoke in Bucky’s direction.  “So if you think you’ve got yourself a sugar daddy, think again.”
           Bucky let himself scowl. You made sure of it? What was that supposed to mean? “You said he was a billionaire!” He protested.
           Stane shrugged. “I lied.  Second, you might think that you have nothing to lose here, but I promise you that you do.  You aren’t the first or the second person to try to get in my way but you are the most disposable.  The suicide rate for veterans is a shame in this country, it really is.”
           Bucky blinked.  This conversation was not going how he thought it would; at most he thought he would get proof of Stane trying to pay him off.  But this? What in the hell was going on? “So what you’re saying is, I need to stay away from Tony for my own good,” he managed. “Or else.”
           Stane took another drag on the cigar.  “Now you’re getting it,” he said approvingly. “Tony Stark is going to crash and burn and you’d do well to stay out of the fallout zone.  Now are you going to be the one to do it, or should I?”
           “I’ll do it,” Bucky said, sliding down in his chair and looking sullen. “I’ll make up something nice.”
           “Yeah, no need for Tony to know that you’re a money-grubbing little prick, right?” Stane stood and held his cigar in his teeth as he buttoned his suit jacket. “Good talk.”
           As Stane walked away, Bucky waited for the door to close behind him and said, “Did you get all of that?”
           In his ear, his Army buddy Gabe said, “Sure as hell did. And I gotta tell you, it was worth listening to four hours of you fucking around at work all morning, because that shit was crazy.”
                                                       ***
           Tony, we need to talk, Bucky's text message said ominously, making Tony’s stomach drop.
           Tony leaned against the nearest wall, knees suddenly weak as he dialed Bucky's number. “What's going on?"
           “Look, Tony, I know who you are,” Bucky said, voice kind but firm. “No more hiding, okay? I need to see you."
           “How…O-okay,” Tony said, mind still racing.  He ran a hand through his hair, still feeling like the carpet had been pulled out from under him. “Um, where do you want to meet?”
           “Wherever you think is best, sweetheart.”
           Tony let out a long relieved exhale at sweetheart, knot in his stomach easing. “You can come here, to my house,” he said after a moment.  Since the cat was out of the bag anyway.
           “Perfect. Text me your address and let down your hair, Rapunzel, I’m about to climb your tower.”
           That surprised a laugh out of Tony but Bucky had already hung up. He texted Bucky his address and after a moment Bucky wrote Ok, I’ll be there in about forty-five minutes.  “Oh, shit,” Tony said, and sprinted for the shower. He had enough time to bathe, shave, take out the trash and cram all the dishes into the dishwasher by the time Bucky was ringing the doorbell.
           “Hey,” he said as he opened the door, leaning casually against the door jamb as if he hadn’t tried on three different shirts before setting on one that flattered his skin tone and was slightly tight across the shoulders.
           “Hey, yourself” Bucky answered, and Tony could have been wearing a bathrobe for all Bucky noticed; he couldn’t seem to look away from Tony's face, eyes traveling over it like he was trying to memorize it. “So. Anthony Edward Stark.”
           “Yeah, that’s me,” Tony said weakly. “As good as you imagined?” he joked, wanting to squirm under the weight of Bucky’s warm gaze.
           Bucky took a step forward, herding Tony past the door and closing it behind him. He smiled and cupped Tony’s face in his hand, thumb stroking over his cheekbones. “Even better,” he said, tilting his head to press a kiss to Tony’s lips.
           "You're not mad?"
           Bucky shrugged. "I always knew you were hiding something, so it’s not like you lied to me.  It’s just…a shock.  I mean, it’d be nice to know if you’re hiding any other big, crazy secrets - ”
           “I’m not,” Tony said quickly. “Being rich and infamous, that was it, I swear.  And I'm, uh, not even that rich anymore, so.” Tony grimaced. "I didn’t want to say anything because I’ve been followed by paparazzi for my entire life, you know? Imagine all those dumb mistakes you make as a teenager being broadcast to the entire country. Parties. Breakups. Detention-"
           "Tony," Bucky interrupted, putting his hand over Tony's mouth.  "I get it, ok? I understand. You don't have to explain.  Just shut up and kiss me again."
           "Ok. I can do that." Tony fisted his hands into Bucky's shirt and pulled him in, tilting his head to cover Bucky's mouth with his own.  Bucky made a sound deep in his chest and his hand slid around to the back of Tony's head, holding him still while Bucky deepened the kiss. God, it was better than he remembered; he swayed closer as Bucky's tongue curled around his own, shivered when Bucky's teeth caught at his lower lip.  Tony could have stood there forever, lost in the drugging sensuality of Bucky's kiss, but after a few minutes he heard Pepper's surprised squeak as she caught them necking in the foyer and that was enough to break the mood.  
           “So what’s this mysterious thing we need to talk about?” Tony said as he pulled away, pressing one last kiss to the corner of Bucky's mouth before leading him into the dining room that had been converted into a shared office.  
           "Right." Bucky's face grew grim and he held up a USB drive.  "I need to borrow a laptop."
           Tony and Pepper listened to Bucky’s recording three times.  Even after the hearing it so many times, Tony still looked dazed, but Pepper's look of surprise had hardened into righteous fury.  “Crazy, right?” Bucky said. “Do you guys have any idea what he was talking about?”
           "No," Tony said at the same time Pepper said "Yes."  When Bucky and Tony looked at her, she said, “I didn't want to say anything until I had more proof, but something's really wrong with these financial reports we've been finding."
           "What do you mean?"
           Pepper turned her laptop to face them and stood.  "Well, it started with this warehouse across the river in Jersey,” she said, leaning over Tony's shoulder pointing to the address pulled up on the screen.  “The financial statements say that SI has been paying rent on the place for years now, but I’ve never seen any records of anyone working there or any shipments going too or from the address.”
           Tony's eyebrows furrowed. “Odd.”
           “Right? So that made me wonder.  SI has been paying for this empty warehouse for years, so what if there were more?  Turns out, there are a lot more.  Not just empty buildings, but employees that don’t seem to exist but draw paychecks every month anyway, catering and janitorial contracts for locations that don’t have any employees, stuff like that. And it’s not just money going out.” She tapped her keyboard and the screen changed to another spreadsheet.  “There were a couple of DOD contracts where Stark Industries was awarded a bonus for finishing the contract early and under budget.” When Tony frowned, Pepper said, “I know, that’s what I thought! That’s common in commercial construction but not for military contracts.  Turns out those contracts are public record and there’s no clause in them anywhere justifying such a payment.”
           Tony was silent for so long staring thoughtfully at her computer screen that Pepper started to fidget.  “So what you’re telling me,” he said slowly, “is that my dad wasn’t incompetent. He was a crook.”
           “Um. Well,” she said, biting her lip, “if that’s true, then he was an incompetent crook. Because if he was the one embezzling all of this money, he wasn’t keeping it or else you wouldn’t be in the mess you’re in right now.”
           Tony barked out a bitter laugh. “True."
           "There's more." Pepper blew out a breath and leaned against the table, tucking her hair behind her ear and crossing her arms over her chest.  “Look, before I was reassigned to work with you, I had noticed some funny numbers on this R&D project budget.  Mostly, they seemed a lot higher than a similar project that SI had done a couple of years ago, more than would be justified by inflation.  I sent an email to my supervisor about it, but before I could meet with him, I got the letter to report here.  Then when I followed up with my replacement, he said he had no idea what I was talking about, even though I know I put it in my turnover documents.” She took a deep breath and said, “My point is, I don’t think it stopped when your dad died.”
           "Stane." Tony exhaled and scrubbed his hands over his face.  "It's been him this whole time. How did my dad not notice that Stane was robbing him blind?"
           "You heard the recording," Bucky said.  "Maybe he did."
           Pepper closed the laptop firmly, lips pressed together as if she were coming to a decision.  “Look, Tony,” she said. “I know we are both good with numbers, but if we are going to nail Stane with this, I mean really get him, we have to be bulletproof. So I think we need to hire a professional.”
           “Hitman?”
           Pepper gave him a look. “Forensic accountant. Or a private detective. Or both.”
           “Right, yeah, that makes more sense,” Tony said, but as the implication of Stane's betrayal sank in, the look in his eyes said he was still thinking hitman.
           "I'm going to call around and see if I can find one that would be willing to work for a percentage of funds recovered," Pepper said, tucking her laptop under her arm and giving them both a pointed look. "I can do that from home so that you two can have time to...catch up."
           "Catch up?" Tony echoed as he walked her to the door.  "We've been talking for weeks, we don't need to 'catch up.'  What are you afraid we're going to do, have sex right here in the dining room?"  Pepper didn't answer except to give him an arch look as she got in her car.  When Tony turned around, Bucky dragged his eyes up from where he'd been staring at Tony's ass.
           "I mean, we could," he said.
                                                   ***
           What happened next didn't go like it does in the movies, with a climactic scene where everything was made right, justice was done, and the bad guys were locked up and the good guys lived happily ever after.  Tony and Bucky did get to see Stane get arrested; Bucky gave him the finger from the front door until the police car drove out of sight.  All of Stane's assets were frozen pending the outcome of the embezzlement investigations, and his bail was set at a staggering fifty million dollars. Six months later, after repeated rounds of testimony from Tony, Tony's private investigator, that forensic accountant, and countless other experts, the courts ruled in favor of Tony and finally money started flowing back in to his bank account instead of out.  When the news broke that Stane was also under investigation for the deaths of Tony's parents, the photos of Tony holding Bucky's hand during a romantic dinner barely made page four in the tabloids.
            Okay, so maybe it was a little bit like the movies, because Tony and Bucky did get their happy ending.  A lot of them, in fact, one of them even in the dining room.

The Incredible Shrinking Wallet - The New York Times
Tumblr media
As co-owner of Billykirk, a leather goods brand based in Jersey City, N.J., Chris Bray has devoted the past 20 years to hand-crafting wallets, among other accessories. He can wax philosophical about how “your oils, your skin, your travels” affect the wallet that you carry around. But when Mr. Bray goes out at night, he takes just his ID, one credit card and a few business cards, tucked into a slim card case.“Simplify your life,” he said. “Nine out of ten times, if you have a bi-fold wallet, you’ve got crap in there you don’t need. You’ve got a ticket stub from three years ago.”This from a man who sells bi-fold wallets in four colors. But in recent years, the physical wallet’s central role in our lives has been greatly reduced, as have the size of wallets themselves. As tech companies have introduced mobile apps like Apple Pay and Google Pay in an effort to make the smartphone into a digital wallet, “real” ones — long a fallback of the holiday gift season — are shrinking, or disappearing altogether. Some are becoming gizmos themselves, as if to seem more current: popping out cards with the press of a button and offering benefits like locating services or radio-frequency identification (RFID) blocking, intended to protect against credit-card or identity theft.For men, the classic multi-pocketed model is losing popularity to card cases like the one Mr. Bray carries. They aren’t much bigger than a credit card, and slip easily into a front pocket.Bernard Capulong, the co-founder and editor in chief of Everyday Carry, a men’s gear website, called them “minimalist wallets,” adding, “What’s popular now is as minimal as you can get.”Shinola, a Detroit-based watch and accessories brand, sells the Slim Bifold and the Slim Bifold 2.0 for “pared-down simplicity.” The Slimwallet and Miniwallet by the Dutch company Secrid are leather-wrapped metal cases that can only comfortably hold around four cards. Brands like Ridge, Dango and Trayvax offer similar styles.Mr. Capulong carries a leather card case by Veilance with only two pockets. “The seams are bonded, not stitched,” he said. “So it’s durable and minimalist. I keep maybe eight cards total and a $20 bill folded twice so it takes no space.”Augusto Gomez, who was behind the Prada counter in the men’s arcade inside Bloomingdale’s Manhattan flagship on a recent afternoon, said wallets still ranked as a popular gift, though there were no customers shopping for them at that moment.“Men tend to get things we need,” Mr. Gomez said. “Small items — key chains, wallets. Things they notice you’ve had too long and it’s falling apart.” He added, “I’d say 65 percent of men don’t carry cash anymore. But some still do.” In women’s fashion, leather and nylon belt bags by brands like Gucci, Balenciaga and Supreme, which leave hands free, are also reducing the need for bulky purses and long wallets.“As bags get smaller, the easiest thing to take space away from is the wallet,” said Megs Mahoney Dusil, the founder of PurseBlog, which reviews bags and other accessories. “The shrinking of the wallet allows for more carrying of day-to-day essential items.”Ms. Mahoney used to carry a continental wallet — the zip-around kind with room for receipts and even a passport — but switched recently to a Gucci card case, which she slips inside a Fendi “Peekaboo” bag.“Micro mini” or “toy” bags make plain the diminished role of cash, at least for celebrities and the rich. Last month, Lizzo showed up to the American Music Awards with a Valentino bag so small the strap fit one finger. The interior was big enough to contain a single mint.The French designer Simon Porte Jacquemus sells a 4.5 inch handbag called Le Chiquito, which might hold a change purse. The absurdly tiny Le Petit Chiquito, introduced during Paris Fashion Week last February and retailing for $258, barely holds a few loose coins.
Stuffing It
For centuries, going all the way back to the introduction of paper currency in America in the late 1600s, the wallet has been a traveling bank vault and all-purpose file cabinet for men and women, a place to keep checks, cash and personal ephemera.“I remember my dad’s wallet,” said Leland Grossman, a strategist for a Manhattan-based creative agency. “He had receipts, cards, pictures and a million things. That was my ethos originally. I kept a folded two-dollar bill. I had a Steve Jobs quote: ‘Stay hungry, stay foolish.’”A 1998 episode of “Seinfeld” known to fans as “George’s Exploding Wallet” satirized this tendency to overstuff. The George Costanza character is carrying a wallet so engorged with random items — Irish currency; a rewards card valid at any participating Orlando-area Exxon station — that he can barely close it.“I need everything in there,” George tells Jerry defensively at their favorite diner, before adding Sweet & Low packets to the jumble.By the end of the episode, George is complaining that his back is killing him.Played today, the scene would look strange, even antiquated. “Before, you used to carry everything in a wallet, from your medical card to store cards and receipts,” said Daniel Caudill, the creative director for Shinola. “Now, all of that lives on our phones.”The wallet has seen its responsibilities slowly taken away. Debit cards have all but eliminated the need to carry cash. No one carries checks anymore. Receipts can be emailed. Photos and rewards cards have gone digital.A lot of millennials and members of Gen Z no longer want to be paid in cash; they prefer payment services like Venmo, leavened by emojis, to pad their digital wallets. The future is not a hunk of cowhide in your back pocket. The future is smartphone apps, contactless cards and, ultimately perhaps, a machine that scans your brain for total frictionless life.As if the physical wallet didn’t have enough problems, there’s now an accessory called the Wallet Slayer ($14.99): a sleeve that fits over your smartphone and holds three cards plus cash. As with phone cases before it, a luxury version cannot be far behind.Might the wallet disappear altogether? Increasingly, businesses are no longer accepting cash. In China, big cities like Beijing and Hangzhou have already gone almost entirely cashless, requiring payment by mobile device, which has flummoxed tourists but also made wallets unnecessary.Recently, Shinola has received requests from young urbanites to make a case to hold just one card — ID, said Mr. Caudill, the creative director. Everything else is arguably extraneous.“It’s an aspirational dream for now,” said Mr. Capulong of Everyday Carry. “We’re not quite there yet.”Many retailers in the United States aren’t yet set up to accept mobile payment methods, especially in areas outside big cities. There are also security concerns about having everything on one device. And old habits have a way of hanging on. “I have Apple Pay on my phone, but I use it shockingly little,” Mr. Grossman said. He still carries the Bottega Veneta bi-fold wallet that he bought in college, though he has streamlined its contents. Mr. Grossman pointed to the way watches have remained a steady, if somewhat marginalized, accessory in the digital era. While wallets aren’t luxury status symbols in the same way, he allowed, “You develop wear and tear that gives it character like clothing. It’s part of your journey. It’s a staple of the wardrobe.”Mr. Bray of Billykirk, who has a vested interest in the wallet sticking around, also argued for its indispensability.

Keen On Green Junk Removal Services
Keen On Green specializes in eco-friendly junk removal for your home, job site or business in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. We offer complete professional, dependable, full service junk removal services to make it easy for you to get rid of any kind of junk.
Eco-Friendly Junk Removal Services
We do pick ups then donate or recycle your junk as much as possible. We’ll sort your junk as we put it in the truck. You’ll be surprised how much of your junk can be recycled or donated.
Free Estimates And Transparent Pricing
Estimates can be done over the phone, email or text. You’ll find our prices are always lower than the big franchises.
From a single item to multiple truck loads, we can do it all.
Beverley Sinclair: Reasonable price, did the pick-up less than 24 hours after I called, efficient, polite and friendly people arrived to do the work. Highly recommend! The price was substantially less than I was expecting, based on previous experience with such companies. I will always contact this company to take things away in future.. Christoph Rondeau: I had a load of household junk to get rid of; couches, chairs, microwave, gardening pots, all sorts of stuff. They came in and got rid of it all in fast and efficient ways, didnt muck up anything, and would laugh and smile no matter how tough it was (I have 3 flights of stairs!). I even had more junk than I thought, and it cost nothing more to add it on. Really good. Dianne Haag: I was very satisfied with the hard work the two young men from Keen On Green did on both moving retained belongings to a new location and then taking other usable belongings for recycling and then the disposable articles to the landfill. Excellent value.

Matt Lynch: The guys were fantastic. They picked up my old sofa and, because I had lost my helper to move in the new sofa, they stuck around to help me get the new one in. They were a huge help and WAY beyond the call for us. Big thanks for that and we’ll be calling them again in the future. Kelly Long: Amazing service! Easy to set up an appointment by email, quote given, confirmation sent and you’re ready to go. They call the day of, about a half hour out and had our couch, coffee table and area rug out in no time. Two great guys, very personable and on time. They were hoping to be able to donate everything which is a wonderful option for those who don’t want to deal with trying to sell things online. We paid the lowest quote for everything being taken away, all in all, fantastic experience. Would use them again in a heartbeat! Thanks Keen On Green!

I wish them the success they deserve.
Mattress Removal
Mattress removal can be more problematic than you think. If your mattress is relatively new, there are no major tears or stains and it’s still in good shape you might be able to sell it on Kijiji or Craigslist. You could also donate it. Then, someone else can continue using it, instead of ending up in the landfill. If your mattress is not in the best shape, it has a lot of stains or is badly torn, it would be good to recycle it. Up to 90 percent of your mattress can be broken down and recycled. Let Keen On Green take care of mattress disposal for you. Sh W: I researched about 3 or 4 junk removal services for a medium sized haul including at the time 1 mattress, a couple bedrames, a table, hutch and several odds and ends. The range was between $1100 to $400 of which Keen on Green was the most reasonable (this was estimated by email) Three energetic and polite men in their twenties came and gave me an estimate of the haul before we started. They worked co-operatively and amicably, ensuring that they wiped their feet before entering the premises and not knicking our walls. As their name states, the salvageable furniture would be donated. All in all a positive experience as we were happy to get rid of the clutter. Although the actual bill was higher than the email estimate (we had added another mattress and boxspring ($30 dumping fee each), it was less than the pre-haul estimate), I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Keen on Green to others. Save your sanity and your back!
