Sacrificial Birde

Chapter 1: taken

The warm sun shone in a small room where in a bed lay its only occupant. A loud song on an alarm radio that stood on the nightstand started blazing. Groaning a hand lifted from under the covers and started repeatedly hitting the clock. Eventually the hitting successfully turned it off. The hand's owners sat up and with a big stretch yawned. This person was one Ada Mann. The young up and coming twenty-year-old rockstar. She got up and got ready for her day. After getting dressed she made her way downstairs and to the kitchen where her roommate and best friend Lute was leaning against the counter while sipping on a cup of hot black joe.

Ada: Morning danger tits.

Lute hummed a greeting and held out another hot mug for her. Which Ada took and immediately began to guzzle down.

Lute: (shakes head) I will never understand how your able to do that. Anyway, glad you're up the girls will be here in half an hour.

Ada: I thought I told them to get here by eleven

Lute: You did, it's ten thirty.

The taller looked toward the clock on the wall and Lute was correct.

Ada: Wait, if it's ten thirty why didn't you wake me up earlier?

Lute: I did, three times, you didn't get up, so I just figured you'd wake up when you'd wake up.

Ada: Shit! it happened again, I swear I thought my phone said eight! Seriously, what has been wrong with me lately!?

Lute: I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that. No offense Addie but you’ve been a bit hm what’s the word? Ah bingo spacey 

Ada rolled her eyes hard it's true she had been feeling weird lately. She just couldn't quite place what it was, but she just felt out of place like something big was happening, other than her band's big gig.

Ada: Not MY fault I’ve just been, um distracted lately, probably because of our first gig! Just nerves taking over.

Lute: I thought the self-proclaimed commander didn’t get nervous?

Ada: Geez Lute it was just an idea for a stage name! All the great rockers of history have them. 

Lute: (mutters) At least it’s better than the Clit Master.

Chugging down the remainder of her coffee she went into the garage to get everything ready. Soon enough the rest of the band, whom they were called the exorcists, arrived and they all got straight to work. Ada the lead singer and guitarist took charge and shredded on her instrument as Lute banged on the drums as the five other girls focused on them on instruments and talents. Time passed and they only stopped to eat, drink, and used the bathroom when they were most desperate. They couldn't stop for measly reasons they were women on a mission. For tomorrow was the gig.

The gig that would put them on the path to fame. Tomorrow night they were going to play at one of the greatest clubs in all Southern California, The house of blues. Thats why they needed to be perfect for they weren't just going to the usual dingy dimly lit bar this was a place they had to be perfect for. Eventually however even great artists like Ada and the exorcists needed to stop as they saw the sun starting to set. The tall woman sighed wiping some sweat with her forearm as she called out to the rest of the girls who were packing up.

Ada: Alright before you go, I just wanted to tell you a couple of things. First off, we play at ten o'clock pm tomorrow night however I want you all there by seven to seven thirty as we need to get everyone checked in and set up. Second, I know we all feel the major temptation to fuck their shit up tonight looking at you Buffy!

Said girl merely raised her middle fingers with a nonchalant expression.

Ada: But wait until after outperformance tomorrow night, because once we shred the entire hall with our rocking noise! We will paint the town red in celebration ladies! And you wanna know why? I'll tell you why! Because they are all going to FUCKING LOVE US!!!

Her girls cheered some anxiousness they had about their gig dying away.

Lute: Yeah, and if they still don't, we’ll simply RIP THEIR CUNTS OUT OF THEIR ASSES AND SHOVE IT DOWN THEIR THROATS!!!!!!!!!

The cheering calmed down a bit after that proclamation as even though those girls were tough as nails their drummer tended to be a bit much, even for them. one of their backup singers Vaggie looked at Lute with deadpan eyes and said,

Vaggie: Seriously? No offense but it's like you were born full of hate.

Ada: Would you just, chill Lute geez. Anyway, despite the graphical mental image she gave us she still has a point! Even if they don't end up worshipping us, which would make them not only insane but also mentally deficient, we won't let that stop us from being what we are, masters of rock and slaves to the roll!

She figured she'd save the rest of her speech for before they got on stage. With that, besides Lute and Ada, the exorcists dispersed with their respective talents and instruments and headed towards each of their vehicles. The tall girl and her shorter companion retreated inside their small two-story house.

Later as they enjoyed dinner while watching tv in the living room a sudden realization came to Lute as she recalled certain parts of the band's leaders speech

Lute: Holy shit balls!

Ada: Huh, been a while since I heard you cuss in that way. What's up?

Lute: Tomorrow is your birthday!

By twelve a.m. on March twenty first which marked the twenty first birthday of one young woman.

Ada: (grins) Yeah, I figured that since I'll be legally able to drink by tomorrow all us girls will be able to go to town. Hey maybe after the performance they'll let us take a few drinks on the road before we hit up some bars or clubs until they kick us out.

Lute: I just can't believe I almost forgot your birthday.

Ada: (raises eyebrow) Why? it's not like we really celebrate either of our birthdays.

Lute: Still maybe you and I should do something with just us two?

Ada: Yeah cool, this weekend I don't think we're doing anything. Does your family still have that cabin they never use up in the mountains?

Lute: (grins) They do indeed! I'll have to call my dad first to see if anyone is using it but that's just a formality really. So, I guess you should already be starting to pack your bags.

Ada: Sounds like a plan.

What they didn't know then was that little trip of theirs would be put on hold for a long time to come. For something big was about to happen.

Ada eventually got tired enough to go to bed. Advising her drummer to also get a good night's sleep in order for their performance to be perfect. Though Lute promised she would go to bed soon she ended up falling asleep to the sounds of the television blaring.

Only to be woken up by a loud banging sound. Lute straightens herself up, rubs the sleep away from her eyes, and looks around. The first thing she marks down is how dark not just the room she was in but the entire house. She couldn't find any light, saves for the blaring of the television set. Which was weird because while Ada did turn off the lights in the kitchen and in the hallway, Lute distinctively remembers the living room filled with light not just from the tv.

It was then she heard some wind howling, coming from the kitchen. Quietly she got up and crept towards it. When she entered her stomach dropped, for even though it was dark out the light of the moon shown through the open back door. No matter how reckless, irresponsible, or even dumb Ada could be Lute knew she would never blatantly leave something so important as the door open. Lute didn't leave it open because she never put herself or others in that kind of danger. Then the only other answer would be,

The sound of a creak in the floorboard drew Lute away from her thoughts. Slowly she turned her head and there standing at the entranceway of the kitchen was a towering figure that was dressed in all black. Though she couldn't see his face she could tell from his stature that he was a man, a big man that had broken into her house.

Big mistake

Before the trespasser could do anything, Lute grabbed the nearest knife that she could find and rushed him. However, her opponent was fast, faster than she anticipated. He dodged the knife and drew his own weapon. A knife unlike hers. It appeared to be a handle knife used for hunting however the steel glistened blood red.

They fought each other trying to make the other one lose. They made a mess around each other and Lute was surprised but thankful that Ada hadn't come down to check what that noise was. However, luck was not on her side that night for soon after the trespasser had her pinned under him, she saw another dark figure enter the room. They were a bit shorter than the man she was currently fighting for her life with. Yet what truly caught her attention was her friend seemingly deep in slumber was over the other one's shoulder. Her eyes widen in fear and in that moment of distraction her assailant grabbed an intact cup of glass and smashed it over her head. But not before banging the side of her face against the floor. Huffing the man got off of her and heard him say something to his partner. She tried listening to their words but couldn't for it sounded like being under water. However, there was one word she did manage to make out,

Master

Lute didn't understand what they meant by master, but she still kept that word. Suddenly she was thrown out of her contemplating as she saw both trespassers, specifically the one who had Ada march towards the door and head out of it. Though she was in great amount of pain she managed to breath out one single word before succumbing to her wounds.

Lute: Ada

With that her eyes close welcoming darkness.

(Well here it is! Really hope that you guys enjoyed the first chapter and hope you guys are ready for more to come! also, should be mentioning that I will be posting a chapter or two once or twice a week until we are through with the story)

Okay, starting a little chain of reccing possibly 😂 If y'all wanna rec five fics you like or stuff you've written that you like 🥰 And I suppose tag five people who could add recs? 🤔 Here's my five: @bisamwilson @siancore @six2vii @cobrafantasies @saryasy

I'm going to do podfics because I don't think people always think about podfics on lists like this and they don't get as much love as they should, so here are some SamBucky podfics I love in no particular order 🥰 :

1) [podfic] Red Right Hand voiced by @funsized-loser with the original fic written by @abarbaricyalp (T, Western AU, Gunslingers, Walk into a Bar) - A one armed gun slinger walks into Sam's bar...

2) [Podfic] gossip about the weird guy who just showed up by blackglass, GoLBCollabs (GodOfLaundryBaskets), Ravin_Pods (Ravin), Tipsy_Kitty with the original fic written by @abhorsenbranwen (T, Gossip When Bucky Helps Fix the Boat, TFATWS, Text Group) - In between fixing the boat, some neighbors do some speculating about who the fuck this guy who may or may not have a metal arm but possibly mentioned running errands for Wakanda is.

3) [Podfic] honk honk vroom vroom voiced by @quietnighty with the original fic by @enemyofrome (T, Uber Driver AU, Reckless Driving, Crack) - Sam meets the Uber driver from hell. Apparently, the Winter Soldier has a new day job.

4) [podfic] Where's the Love We Once Knew? voiced by @funsized-loser with the original fic written by @jemgirl86 (Not Rated, Newscaster Bucky Barnes, Baseball Player Sam Wilson, Lovers to Enemies to Lovers) -

“Like I said,” Bucky replied, “Wilson is good, but he’s not the second coming.” He shook his head. “You talk about him like he’s Hank Aaron reincarnated or something, when he’s really just an asshole,” he shot back, without thinking. “Yeah, he can field, yeah he can hit, but he knows shit all about what it takes to make a team work.” And, okay, a tiny voice in Bucky’s head acknowledged that he was talking about an entirely different team — an entirely different kind of team. But he was all worked up (because any mention of Sam Wilson always got him all worked up, and he’d been having to listen to people talk about Sam nonstop all week), and he was too far gone to shut-up. Or: Bucky gets caught trash talking Sam on a hot mic, and drama ensues.

5) Buffy Burnes Ph.D. the Scientific Illustrator Roommate [podfic] voiced by litrapod (litra) with the original fic by me (M, Canon Divergence, Crack Treated Seriously, And They Were Roommates) - Sam decides to take a break from Avengers business after Age of Ultron. He puts out an ad for a roommate on Craigslist for his new apartment in Delacroix. He gets one response from a "Dr. Buffy Burnes".

Hi Pedro,

Things have been a little better since my last letter. I finally broke down and talked to my husband. Finally told him I felt like his roommate and not his wife. That he existed with me in the same space but not with me, you know? It was a good talk. I'm sure I hurt his feelings, but still. He understood. He's making an effort.

I'm not sure how to come to terms with the fact that I regret settling down so early, though. I wish I had some magic ability to take a couple years off from this whole settled down and married thing and then come back like nothing happened. Some magic where I could go be someone else for a while and come back to the comfort and safety and love of this man. I fucked up when I married him. I let myself ignore all the things I know I need that he can never give me. It's not a matter of asking him to fix certain behaviors. The man I want is not who he is. He can't change his whole personality to make me happy. I just... I resent the fact that passion, lust, that desperate wanting, is simply not in his vocabulary. He loves me and he works hard to show me that everyday, but it's not what I need from him.

Anyway. He's trying. Maybe I'll get over it and everything will be fine.

--

I just watched Prospect. I fucking loved that movie. I know it's been 5 years, but a sequel would be so fucking cool. I love how over the top your character is in that. Your arm getting cut off is just so ridiculous. I loved it. I have a fun little list of what I want with your characters.

I want to be one of Oberyn's lovers. Nothing committed. Not close enough to him to be completely broken when his head gets squished in, but close enough to know what that fiery passion feels like.

I want to be Javi Peña's coworker that he sneaks around with. Still nothing committed. I'd be too worried about him and too jealous of his informants to commit. But god he's so hot.

I want to wrap Javi Gutierrez in a big hug. Kiss his forehead. Run my fingers through his curls while he lays in my lap and tells me about his screenplay.

I'm wildly attracted to Ezra, but I'm not really cut out for the life he lives. I still want to rip that damn suit off him though. The scene in the drop pod after he gets shot? Sitting all sprawled out and panting from the pain in his arm... good lord almighty.

I want Joel to find me in Jackson and decide Ellie needs a stepmom. I love Ellie so so much. We'd be best friends. And Joel's rough voice and rougher hands. His gray hair. His strong arms and soft belly. I want to fix him. He definitely activates my savior complex something awful.

Dieter Bravo... man if I was in that bubble and he asked to have sex with me I'd say yes in a heartbeat. His wild hair and wilder eyes... fuck dude. Savior complex again. I can fix him, I swear (I can't). I'd ruin myself trying.

Dave York is hot, but I'd have to steer clear of him. For one thing... he's married with kids. But for another, he works for the bad guys.

Marcus Moreno is another one that could use a stepmom for his kid. That's all I've got on him... he seems sweet.

Agent Whiskey has a special place in my heart, since I'm from Kentucky and the Statesman Distillery is there. I also love a cowboy, love a whip, and love a tragic backstory. Agent Whiskey did nothing wrong!! And that's coming from someone who definitely would've needed the antidote. I would save him from the meat grinder.

Fish... Oh Frankie. He needs a haircut and a shower. He needs someone to convince him trafficking cocaine to the US is a bad idea. He needs someone to remind him that he's important and his life matters. I don't think I could fix him either.

I'd punch "Dio" in the face.

Edward from Buffy is sweet and so adorable, but he dies and I like older men with patchy facial hair so...

Din. Again. Needs a stepmom for his kid. Or at least a babysitter. I just read this beautiful, heartbreaking unfinished fic about a girl who does that. He picks her up and takes her with him and they fall in love. He shows her his face, but it doesn't feel like wish fulfillment, you know? In the fic, it's basically mandalorian marriage. And there's this whole thing about how "to know is to love" and it's beautiful. I'm horny for Mando, but Din in that fic is probably the reason I feel my heart swell and get a lump in my throat when I think about him.

That's all of them I've seen so far. I plan on watching everything you've been in. I think Ezra is my favorite character of yours, Oberyn is the sexiest, and Javier Peña is the one I'd be most likely to ruin my life for. I'd run away with Mando in a heartbeat too, though. What do you think about your characters? If you knew these people in real life, how would you react to each one?

Have a good night, my dear dear friend.

G.

Three Ships: Is it cheating if I pick three ships from the same fandom? It probably is so I'll say Wang Pangzi/Wu Xie/Zhang Qiling (DMBJ), Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan (Guardian) and...uh...those are the only two fandoms I'm actively reading at the moment. So I guess I'll also pick Wu Xie/Wang Pangzi from DMBJ because as much as I love the Iron Triangle *gestures at pangxie*

Sam is grieving, and Bucky tries to help

told you that i'm on the way, i'm like an exit away by quidhitch

Bucky is coming home from therapy one day and Sam is just. There. Leaning up against the side of his hut, staring warily at a goat and gnawing on a mango. The navy duffle at his feet makes Bucky’s pulse hum.

“What the hell?” Bucky says, by way of greeting.

“You look like shit,” Sam says back, tossing his mango peel in the general direction of a goat.

baby we'll be fine by napricot

“Just to clarify, when you say vampires, you mean literal, actual vampires. Not, like, aliens that act like vampires,” asked Bucky slowly.

“They’re literal, actual vampires, yes,” said Blade, a combination of words that Sam had never wanted to hear outside of an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. “And I’ve been fighting them since they killed my mom.” Sam couldn’t see his eyes, but Blade’s whole face went tense and his next words came like he was forcing them out. “l could really use some superhero backup.”

This, Sam reminded himself, was his life now. Being Cap. Living with Bucky. Knowing about...vampires. He took a deep breath in, let it out slow. Vampires are real he tried, testing it out. It didn’t feel great.

Sam discovers he's got limits on this superhero bullshit. Bucky sympathizes.

losing him was red by casdoms (moffwithhishead)

Wanda scoffs under her breath, taking a sip of tea that wasn’t there before, “Men. They’re so...”

Bucky snorts, “Thickheaded?”

Friend of Dorothy's by rainyndigo

"Sam looked at the broken pieces of a man laid bare in front of him like Icarus looked at the Sun. If he got close, close enough to take those pieces sharpened by time and pain, by the ugliness of the world would his wings melt too?"

They argue, they look back to times now gone, they dance and nothing gets easier.

warm blood (feels good, i can't control it anymore) by notcaycepollard

Sam's just chilling watching TV one evening when Bucky comes in and stares at him silently for a minute or two before sitting down on the couch. He's pretty close to Sam.

Okay, he's really close to Sam. Like, Sam would be using the word 'cuddling' if it wasn't so bizarre.

"What," he says, carefully not looking at Bucky, and Bucky huffs a sigh.

"Steve's not here," he says as if it's obvious.

"Don't make it weird. Just- shut up."

reach out by heatwves

"Sam closes the door behind him. The noise from the party subsides, now just muffled sounds and indistinct music.

"Sharon told me you'd be here," he says, his voice soft but still audible."

Missing scene from tfatws ep 3 where Bucky and Sam work through what happened at the bar.

Hot Cocoa and Feelings by maddienole

This wasn't the first time Sam found Bucky on his doorstep in the middle of the night.

Skip, Reverse by AidaRonan

Sam stood in the middle of their local Target with a throw pillow in each hand. The one in his left hand was butter-soft and matched the drapes in the living room, but Bucky had walked by five seconds ago and declared the one on the right “absolutely fucking hideous,” and so now Sam kind of wanted it more than he had ever wanted anything.

Sometimes romance is just bickering with your superhero partner/roommate at several different Target locations.

Geriatrics by Honorable_mention

“You’re not gonna believe this, Sam, but I knew this guy back in the thirties. We grew up together.”

Bucky leaned back in his plastic chair.

“Mrs. Chbosky made the best fruitcake on the block.”

“I swear you were the only one who liked it, Barnes. That thing was inedible.”

“Well I thought it was nice.”

The Got-Your-Man (And Now What To Do With Him?) Method for Not Screwing This Up by rhombus

Sam Wilson does not need any more therapy, thank you very much. What he needs is for his boyfriend (official label TBD) to simmer the hell down.

Smooth sailing? Ha. Not even in a kiddie pool.

(aka when a couple of sweet idiots completely ignore Dr. Raynor's advice to actually talk to each other like grown ups.)

A follow-up to The Gottman Method for Dealing with Conflict.

Mr. and Mr. Wilson-Barnes by @sammy-souffle

Just a regular day at the Wilson-Barnes household

if i gave you my hand (would you take it) by @omg-just-peachy

“Where does it hurt?” Bucky asks, holding onto the ice pack. He’s wrapped it in a dishtowel, Sam notes, which is… nice.

“You don’t have to do this,” Sam says with a grimace.

“I can take care of myself.”

Bucky’s quiet for a long minute, face half caught in the shadows, but he smiles to lighten the mood.

“I know you can,” he tells him. He holds Sam’s gaze like he’s making sure Sam’s really hearing him. “But you don’t have to.”

(Or, 5 times Bucky dotes on and flirts with and takes care of an increasingly flustered Sam, and one time Sam catches on)

Follow by @attaining-fic

After arguing about the shield with Bucky, Sam can’t find any sleep. He’s surprised when he hears ‘Trouble Man’ coming from Bucky’s room. Maybe the conversation wasn’t over.

Can be read as pre-Sam/Bucky or just platonic. Blink and you’ll miss it implied Sam/Riley.

be around me by @yaksomins

“so, what are you boys getting into today?”

bucky and sam exchanged glances.

“i meant the actual kids,” sarah stirred a spoonful of sugar into her coffee and took a sip, “not the two grown men that behave like children.”

sam gestured at her with his syrup-laden fork. “i resent that.”

Hope is the thing with feathers by @janeyfoster

Sam smiled, eyes soft. He leans in, lips just a breath away from Bucky's ear.

"Wanna hear a secret? It starts with 'I' and ends with 'love you'.".

After the events of Endgame, Sam goes home to his family in Louisiana.Bucky isn't too far behind.[ rewrite of the falcon and the winter soldier ]

Bucky's Dating Tips by Six2VII

Bucky gives Steve his dating tips. Sam is not amused.

Another One Bites the Dust by @yikesdontlook

“So,” Sam starts. “Where did Sergeant Barnes learn how to steal a car?”

If the question amuses Bucky, he doesn’t show it.

“Nazi Germany. And we’re borrowing, get your dirty feet off the dash.”-

this is what it's like to be lonely by @uhthor

Bucky explores the five stages of grief with his therapist.

What's on your mind?

A short fic about grown Cyrus and TJ being cute. Side note. TJ is a trans man in this story.

He loves days like today. The sky was bright and clear. It wasn't too hot and the wind was blowing softly around them. He looks over at the the adorable brunette sit next to him, fingers lazily intertwined with his. He can't believe it's been eight years together(Nine if you count that way too long of year where TJ couldn't work up the courage to tell Cyrus how he felt.) They stare out at the park that the bonded at so many years before. Cyrus doesn't seem to be paying attention, so TJ takes the time to stare in awe at Cyrus and to get lost in his thoughts.

He should of known better though, Cyrus is always paying attention. Cyrus turns his head and smiles at his boyfriend. "What is on your mind,Teej?"

What is on my mind? He repeats in his to himself in his head

You are on my mind.

The way you let me push you on the swings the first time we really talked even though you were scared to swing high. You trusted me.

The way you always believed in me. Whether it was my ability to pass a math test, or me getting my first teaching job as a reading intervention specialist this coming fall, you always thought I could do it.

That time you did a somersault for the first time.

The way you looked when you were worried about me getting hurt in a gun accident.

The heartwrenching dread I felt when I thought I was going to lose you as a friend that second time at the swingset.

That moment that same day that I should kissed you but I didn't. You were so close to me and it took everyone me not to combust into flames looking at you through those long eyelashes when you let me know I could stay.

The guilt I felt when I ditched you for Kira. I was so dumb and so scared.

The way you looked when I drove you around on that golf cart. Again you trusted me to take you out of your comfort zone.

The moment I finally showed you how I felt...and you felt the same.

Going to school that next Monday. You said we could take it slow so I wouldn't be uncomfortable. But when we stood at the door, waiting to go into Jefferson, I asked if I could hold your hand. You said yes.

You coming to every basketball game I had until we graduated high school.

The way you reacted when I told you I was a trans man. I had waited more than two years to tell you I wasn't cis guy. You were so supportive and never made me feel like less of a man. You weren't even mad I waited so long to tell you. You said it was my choice when to tell people.

You and Buffy being named Prom King and Queen. I was so happy to see you get the attention you deserved and when we danced the rest of the night together, I felt like I was with royalty.

When we had to do the long distance thing when we were in school. You were at Harvard and I was at State.

The night I cried myself to sleep when you called me on the last day of the first semester to tell me long distance hurts too much and hung up. I thought it was over.

The next night when you showed up at my door drenched from the rain, saying that you just enrolled in my school before throwing your arms around me.

I remember feeling selfish but you assured me this was your choice.

The following year when we were roommates in the dorms and you came home one night after you went drinking with Andi and Buffy. You were going on about having done something "crazy" but passed out on the floor before telling me what. When I put you in bed, I saw it. You had gotten a tiny heart with my name in it tattooed on the top of your foot. I couldn't help but feel like the luckiest guy on earth. You were so cute the next morning, when you turned beet red telling me about it.

The nights we spent staying up studying together, pulling all nighters. You got me through college math.

Our first major fight. I can't even remember what started it. I knew I was in the wrong but even if you were mad at m you still, took my hand and told me that this fight was temporary, you still loved me.

Making up.

When I got my top surgery, you practically lived at the hospital with me.

Walking the stage at graduation with all our friends. The look you gave me that told me how proud of you were of me.

The day we both found out we were going to working at Jefferson.

Renting our first home together.

The first night there last week, when we fell asleep on the kitchen floor together, exhaust surrounded by boxes.

Right now, the way you look with the sun setting behind you, making you look more heavenly that I could have imagined.

The way your hand on my skin as we sit here still makes me feel like I am burning up.

"What are you thinking about?" Cyrus repeats looking into the green pool in TJ's eyes, breaking the other man from his thoughts.

"Nothing..." TJ smiles before reaching his free hand into his pocket, feeling at the small velvet lined ring box.

The Dodged Bullet

Warning: This is deliberately bad!

The dodged bullet:  

The following is the horrific notion of what would have happened if The CW, Fox, or Syfy adapted Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman instead of Netflix.   This is going to poke fun of common tropes of Fox and CW shows. ��See if you can spot them all.

I am going to deliberately write this very, very badly.

             The generically attractive young man in his early-twenties walked toward the crime scene.  He wore a long leather jacket, designer sneakers, expensive brand-name jeans, and a stylish and perfectly fitted black polo style shirt under the jacket. It was rumpled but just so as to hint at what a great body he had under it.  He had thick, dark brown hair.  Brown eyes, a smoldering gaze and a dazzling smile.  He’s Caucasian and generically attractive.  He’s thin but not rake thin, more like sexy male model thin.   He’s got muscle tone.  

           At the moment he looked stoic, hands resting in his pockets.  He crosses the yellow crime scene tape without anyone stopping him.  No one questions his presence but he is not invisible. This is “grounded” in reality, folks.  

           The Sandman solves crimes!  The Sandman is a private investigator with a secret. He is a real Sandman!  Hidden in his jacket is a leather pouch which will probably get used maybe once or twice an episode (budgetary reasons).   And he gets confused by certain social cues and pop culture references but otherwise he’s just a generic hot guy.

           He’s probably portrayed by a Tom Mison type. He might be American. There’s an English accent but it’s so slight (so hidden by Americanisms) that it’s almost undetectable.   He approaches the pretty, ninety-pound, college age female detective with perfect, blond hair.   She looks up at him.  

           “Hey, Murphy.” She says in a friendly tone.  Yes, Murphy is his alias. She thinks he’s just eccentric and thinks he’s The Sandman but he gets results!  

           “Detective Walker.” He smiled with obvious affection. He crushes on her, pines for her. But she mustn’t ever know the truth. It is forbidden for one of his kind to be with a mortal.  Even if she is a Vortex.  And her great power may one day destroy the world…  or save it!  That’s the real reason he was here, to watch her. He had never expected to fall in love with her…

The show has almost no scenes in The Dreaming and when there are it’s about 90% CG over green screen, like the Enchanted Forest sets of Once Upon a Time, or the under-whelming Hell of Lucifer.  There’s probably a throne room with a starry night sky behind it, and an under-whelming “vast” library on par with Belle’s library in Once Upon a Time that will be shown very rarely.

           “We’ve got another one.”  She said gravely.  “Eyes torn out.  Pretty girl. Whoever this creep is- this predator must be stopped!”   The implication here is the victims are all damsels who have been targeted by an evil man targeting them for misogynistic reasons.  But don’t worry!  The show is totally not sexist!   Detective Rose Walker kicks ass!   And in season four she’ll be raising her own long-lost little brother!  Even though it’ll take her at least five seasons to learn Murphy’s secret (if she ever does).  

           “I thought the ‘me too’ movement would have at least reduced some of this.” She said with a shake of her head in disappointment at the world.

           The line of dialogue doesn’t actually really make sense under easy scrutiny.  Why would “Me too” actually make a serial killer reconsider his life choices?  Oh, well, the audience doesn’t have enough time to question it.

           “Me too?”  The adorable, awkward, pretty “Murphy” questions.

           “Boy!  Where have you been?  In a cave?”            “Actually I was trapped inside a prison cell for a hundred and five years and before that I resided in another dimension.”

           She rolls her eyes.  “Not this again.   Tell me you can at least figure something out with your ‘Dream powers’” she said cynically.   He might have been insane and socially inept but he got results!

           Morpheus knelt down next to the body and placed his hands on the corpse. There isn’t even any SFX for this. He’s just sensing something.  He grunts in a sexy portrayal of sexy CW level pain.  

           “What? What is it?”

           “I think I know who did this…”

           “Who?”

           “Corinthian…”

             (Opening credits here.  Maybe the opening riff of Enter Sandman by Metallica.  No, wait, Fox and CW can’t afford that.   It’s Mr. Sandman by the Charlottes!  It kills the mood but everyone knows the song.  You’ll be sick of it by episode five if you weren’t already.  And it will get a LOT of use since the song is cheap / practically public domain.)

           The next scene is not present day.  It’s a flashback.  And by flashback I mean a hastily put together set in Vancouver Canada.  It’s probably someone’s private stables being passed off as a medieval village.  No, wait. Its eighteenth century.  There’s a sexy other character wearing slightly anachronistic style sunglasses hiding his eyes (No CG here, the production team figures the glasses are enough).  In fact his eyes might not even be weird at all. He just likes sunglasses!  There, that’s better, no wasted money here.   He’s wearing a badly fitted white wig over white hair.  

           “My king,” the sunglassed man says with a bow. We have to be blunt for our easily distracted audience, so there’s the reminder that this is the dream king. “Thank you for letting me accompany you to the waking world.  There are such delicious things here.”

           “Yes, the food is rather pleasant.” Morpheus replies. His costume is decently fitted but obviously borrowed from another show, possibly a left over from Buffy The Vampire Slayer.  Those props and some period costumes still get use.  Isn’t Morpheus adorably oblivious, though?

           Morpheus is wearing a dark blue frock coat and lace. His trousers are exceptionally tight to show off the actor’s perfect ass.

           The Corinthian’s costume is cream colored. There was a behind the scenes fight and as small victory for the one crew member who actually read Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman in getting the cream outfit.  Others working on the show wanted the costume to be black to make it more obvious he was the bad guy.        

           An attractive, tall, black man (probably American), under the age of thirty, is behind Morpheus.   This is his loyal manservant, Lucien.  But it’s totally not racist making the dreaming librarian / butler black when the show hasn’t had any black characters yet.  No, it’s inclusive!  

           The attractive black man speaks.  “My Lord, I think he intends to do harm to the mortals here.”

           “Nonsense, Lucien. I’m certain it’s fine.”

           The Corinthian wandered away from his master and he soon drags off attractive young female into an alley, hand over her mouth.   No, The Corinthian isn’t gay anymore in this version.   But it’s okay.  Hob Gadling, Morpheus’ immortal friend (who now runs a bar for some reason) is gay!  He’s very gay.  In fact that’s the extent of his entire personality.  But isn’t this diverse and inclusive?!   And there’s no more problematic gay nightmare, even though in the original comics The Corinthian gets uncreated and the second Corinthian is a relatively decent guy for a nightmare.  

           After some persuasion Morpheus finally listens to Lucien and walks down into the alley.   He stops in his tracks when he sees The Corinthian has killed the girl and his licking his fingers, having obviously already eaten her eyeballs (gotta keep that TV-14 rating!)   He lets out a gasp.  “Corinthian, what have you done?”

           We cut back to present day and “Murphy” is walking into the bar owned by his friend, Hob Gadling . Hob sees him and smiles. “Murph, oh, honey, you look like Hell! Come sit down and tell me all about it.   You know I love juicy gossip.” He says in a naisly, lisping voice.

Imagine this scene was written by some very straight guy whose only exposure to gay people were 1990s Will and Grace reruns.  

           Hob places a shot glass in front of Morpheus and Morpheus downs it quickly. “Have you seen Matthew?”

           Matthew was Morpheus’ straight human friend and roommate.  He had learned Morpheus’ secret in the pilot episode when Morpheus rescued him from a car accident using his dream magick.   Ha!  And you thought we’d have talking birds in this thing. Lol!  No!  Grounded, remember?

           “Matt?  Oh, sweetie, you can do better than him.  I keep telling you, he’s just not your type.”

           Morpheus raises an eyebrow but says nothing about the implication about his sexual identity.  There will be a LOT of queer baiting on this show without confirmation in regard to his sexuality.  

             “I need to talk to him.   One of my nightmares is loose in the city.”  You can tell this was written by a New Yorker because they take for granted “The City” to mean New York.  

           “One of your Nightmares?   Why couldn’t it be one of those sexy wet dreams?”  Get it?  Because if the character’s gay he has to always be horny!!!  Ha-freakin’ –ha.  

(Please know I don’t actually feel this way. I’m mocking bad TV writing.  This whole thing is a spoof.)    

           There’s an awkward pause intended for the viewers to laugh.

           “I don’t believe any water nymphs have escaped The Dream dimension.” Morpheus replied in confusion.

He calls it The Dream Dimension in the show because “The Dreaming” didn’t sound hip enough according to some executive.

“I’m afraid it’s The Corinthian.  So now I have two problems.”

Hob nodded sympathetically.  “The detective you might have to kill…”

“And now this.”   This is an idiot proofed recap for people turning on the show late or just watching it in passing while doing other things or playing on their phone.  CW does this sort of in-story forced, shoe-horned exposition all the time.

The episode plays out a little bit like an episode of Lucifer mashed into an episode of True Blood.

While they’re trying to find the killer, Detective Rose Walker meets Murphy’s roommate, Matthew, and the two hit it off while chatting about Murphy’s weirdness.  They decide to start to date.   As Morpheus has feelings for Rose that he won’t admit to this causes a strain between him and Matthew Raven (There’s that bird reference!  What?  That should be Lucien’s last name?  Naw!)  And between him and Rose Walker.  

Morpheus lashes out rather than admit to what he is truly angry at and he and Matthew argue over something petty and this leads to recovering alcoholic Matthew to start drinking again as sad music begins to play.  

Morpheus eventually finds The Corinthian and is forced to destroy him.  He had to kill his own creation so he is kneeling in angst crying prettily while the sand left over from the uncreation slides through his fingers.  Some new female cover of Queen’s Who Wants to live Forever? Is playing in the background.  The original version is “too old” and too expensive for use. So here’s a very generic sounding cover done in a style that makes it blend in with every other pop song played during the forty five minute mark of a CW show’s run time (including commercial breaks).  

           The song plays as we cut to Matthew drinking alone sexily in an alley.  He’s sweaty and wet, but he just looks like a wet fashion model.   Morpheus is sexy crying over the sand that was the Corinthian, and Rose going to sleep prettily in her bed, no bed head here.  Oh, and she sleeps in perfect makeup!  There’s no scene where she even remotely looks like she’s out of makeup.

 She’s having strange dreams but they look pretty mundane.  Like real-world mundane.  It’s her living room set that we probably saw a few minutes ago, just dimmer lighting and some haze to make it clear this is a dream.  Because even with a show about The Dream Lord, dreams have to have an old fashioned camera fringe haze.  Murphy is there with his back to her.  He looks sad.  He turns to look at her and she gasps.   She sees a star (lense flare) from Murphy’s eyes in the dream as he looks at her in surprise like he wasn’t expecting her to see him.  She wakes up with a gasp, and everyone in her apartment building also wakes up at the same time, signifying that their dreams were connected.

And so ends what was probably the third episode of CW (or Fox’s) The Sandman.  

And that is pretty much how CW or Fox would have done The Sandman.

A Rainy Sunday

AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/18770497

(This is the second part of my fic “What do you see in him?”)

The images of the previous night go through his head violently, he tries to give them some sense, but the headache, the sun hitting his face and the tremendous desire to kill Cyrus' neighbor for turning on the radio so early are a huge distraction.

Last night he went to a bar with Cyrus, to celebrate the birthday of one of his cousins, who does not like him very much. And the two drank more than they should, but not enough to commit any stupidity, at least at the bar.

The two left without saying goodbye and is almost certain that no one even noticed their absence, he kissed Cyrus a lot in the taxi back home and continued to do so in the hall, at the door, on the sofa.

They took a quick shower, trying to lower the alcohol levels of their heads and they were still kissing. He also remembers that, before falling asleep, he closed the windows and the curtain. So, he assumes that Cyrus opened both and now the sun is bothering his closed yes and the slightly cold wind pierces his bare skin like a knife.

His head hurts, a lot, more than he expected. Maybe it's true and all those jokes that Jonah makes that he’s getting old are not so wrong. He takes a deep breath; the radio song is now one he can recognize and the inexplicable anger begins to diminish and that's when TJ realizes that Cyrus is not in bed.

He finally decides to open his eyes, slowly, the excess of light makes it difficult to perceive the room he already know by heart. He runs his hands over his face, then tries, without effect, to make his hair looks less messy. He looks for a note or some sign of his boyfriend in the room, but there’s nothing there.

Some noise from outside and the smell of coffee begins to invade the entire apartment. He stands up and stretches his body, he perceives a pain in his neck that he had not felt when he was laying down and still feels something strange in the air, the mood, the day. As if this day was destined to something, something sad, but he cannot remember exactly what.

He takes away that thought, which, sincerely, he thinks is kind of ridiculous. So he decides to leave the room. But instead, he goes to the window to look at the street. The music on the radio is much louder and although the sun’s rays bother him, they make him feel good. A new song on the radio starts, one that he can’t recognize but it speaks about love, about missing someone, about no deserving forgiveness, about losing true love.

The smell of coffee grows stronger and the desire to hug his boyfriend too. He thinks for five seconds if he should wear something more besides the black boxers he is wearing, when he thinks that only Cyrus will be there, he doesn’t find it important.

When he finally gets away from the window, he notices some big and gray clouds, maybe it will rain later, he thinks. He leaves the room, still trying to do something with his messy hair.

"Wow, you look good," Is the first thing he hears when he comes out of the door, but the voice is not his boyfriend's, it's Jonah's, who is pouring coffee at the kitchen.

"Thank you, I guess," he says, somewhat embarrassed, not because of his body or Jonah's comment, but because of the fact that, for a few minutes, he completely forgot about the existence of Cyrus' best friend and roommate.

"Coffee?" TJ nods and sits down on one of the chairs and watches Jonah serve another cup of coffee. Then, Jonah walks to him and puts the cup in front of him and sits in the opposite site of the table.

"Where’s Cyrus?"

"Is it so horrible to spend time with me?" Jonah says, with a wicked smile.

"To be honest, yeah, it is" He answers, with an equal smile. TJ is still amazed at how well the two are getting along, especially after all the discomfort that came with the way he confessed his feelings to Cyrus, at three a.m. drunk and feeling extremely jealous of him. If someone told TJ about a year and a half ago that he would be in Cyrus' apartment being sarcastic with Jonah Beck and kind of a friend, he would never have believed it.

"Ha-Ha, I know you like me"

"At moments," TJ sips the coffee, it's too hot, but he actually don’t care, "That does not answer my question, anyway"

"He went to the store to buy some things for breakfast" TJ nods again, he hopes that Cyrus bring something good.

"Do you have any plans for today? Cyrus and I were thinking about going to the movies, you know, the three of us"

"I would like to; it sounds better that my actual plan”

“What is it?”

“Today’s my brother's birthday and mom wants me to help at home"

"It sounds exhausting"

“It will be, every year my mon says she wants help and every year I almost do everything, the food, the cleaning before and after. I do even have to play referee with my family.” Jonah takes a big sip of his coffee. “It doesn’t bother me that much, but it’s still exhausting, you know?” TJ definitely doesn’t know. So, he offers his best recomforting smile.

"I wish you luck, it sounds like you'll need it"

"I'm used to it, but thanks." They take another sip of coffee and remain silent without feeling uncomfortable; Jonah has a peculiar look, as if he wanted to say something but does not know how or if he should.

"Is something wrong?"

"No, it's just that I've never told you before but I'm very happy that you and Cy are together"

"What?"

"It's just that, Cyrus always fell in love with guys who did not feel the same or he dated really... strange guys"

"More than me?" TJ exaggerates his surprise and Jonah responds with a smile.

"I know maybe I should not talk to you about the guys Cy went out with, and I will not, but of all of them you're the best one. The one who fell in love first, or well before him," a slightly blush appears on his cheeks, he had forgotten that his body was capable of blushing and he had forgotten that Jonah had seen all their romance even before it began.

"I don’t know what to say," This time, TJ feels much more exposed than his almost complete nudity, "But knowing Cyrus has made me really happy and I hope he feels the same"

"Believe me, he does" And before they can say anything else, the door opens and Cyrus arrives with a big bag and Sunday mail.

"You were talking about me?" He asks, as he leaves things at the kitchen and passes the mail to Jonah.

"Maybe" TJ replies and he and Jonah share a knowing smile that seems to please Cyrus, although he does not say anything.

"I thought it would come before you woke up," Cyrus says, getting closer to his boyfriend.

"You know I cannot resist the smell of coffee in the morning" Cyrus smiles and gives him a kiss.

"Wait," it seems that for the first time he actually observes him since he entered the room, "Why are you only wearing boxers?"

"Obviously he wanted to seduce me, but I’m not as easy as you" Cyrus grabs an apple that was inside a bowl in the table and throws it to Jonah's head.

"To be honest, I'm lazy and I thought you were the only one out here"

"Well, I think I'd better go" Jonah says.

“Now? I thought you would at least have breakfast with us!”

“I know you are getting better at this cooking stuff, but you still need improvement,” Jonah teases, “but actually, my mother already sent me like ten messages complaining about everything in the house and my brother sent me another twelve complaining about my mother.” He sighs while he takes out his cell phone, “And now my dad is complaining about my mom and my brother.”

"Sounds like that birthday party is going perfect," TJ jokes, while Jonah takes his coat that is on the ugly orange sofa that Cyrus complains about so much with a half-smile.

"It will get much better if I don’t get there as soon as possible"

"Good luck, Jonah. See you in the night," says Cyrus, who is already preparing breakfast.

"I'll bring a big piece of cake to you" It's the last thing he says when he leaves the apartment. The apartment is silent, Cyrus quietly prepares what seem to be hot cakes.

TJ is dedicated to look with adoration at his boyfriend, while he’s cooking. It doesn’t matter what Jonah or pretty much everyone says about Cyrus cooking, it’s not that bad. He smiles at himself, while his boyfriend is trying to save some way too burned hot cakes.

"Do you enjoy how bad I’m at this?" Cyrus asks, as he accommodates the few hot cakes that were not so bad in two different dishes.

"Maybe a little"

"Eat, I hope I do not poison you"

“It hasn’t happened before and you are really getting better at this.”

Most of the breakfast is in silence, looking at each other, Cyrus enjoys how TJ tries not to make gestures that show how much he is detesting the food, this time breakfast is really bad. They drank all the coffee and the sky decided it is time to start raining.

“So, are we going to the movies?” Cyrus asks.

“I don’t know, I feel like is a good day to stay in,” TJ takes the dishes and the cups and starts washing them, “You know? It’s raining, we could order pizza and watch a boring movie on TV or lost two hours deciding to watch a movie on Netflix.”

“Yeah, that sound pretty great,” Cyrus says, “Maybe I could prepare something instead of pizza”

"Please, no" Cyrus laughs, maybe Buffy’s idea of entering a cooking class isn’t that crazy.

"Ok, ok, I won’t cook anything, but you'll have to admit it was a nice gesture"

"It was," TJ thinks about saying something else, but decides not to. He finishes washing the dishes and walks to the living room and looks at the old stereo that Jonah’s dad gave to them when they moved into the apartment, “Does this thing still work?”

"When it wants to" Cyrus is still sitting on the table, looking at his boyfriend a little confused, while he’s turning on the stereo. Apparently, TJ is looking for a specific radio station, when he finds it, he turns to look at him with a big smile.

"Isn’t it a little early to jazz?" TJ gets closer and his smile seems a little sadder, he remembers the last time he asked that question, that it's Sunday, it's February, that that song is special.

"It's never too early to listen to jazz, you know?" He answers, as someone else once answered him. When he is close enough to Cyrus, he offers his hand, Cyrus takes it, doubtful.

"Dance with me? I mean, it’s the least you can do after trying to poison me with that amazing breakfast," Cyrus shakes his head, but gets up and follow his boyfriend to the living room.

"I've never done this before" The song is calm, Cyrus puts his arms around TJ's neck and TJ puts them on his boyfriend's waist, they move slowly.

"Dance with your boyfriend who’s only wearing boxer, after eating some weird hot cakes, to a jazz song on a rainy Sunday?"

"No," Cyrus thinks again, "Well, yes, but I was just talking about dancing like this, with another man"

"I feel honored"

"And I feel a bit pathetic" They continue to dance slowly, Cyrus can see something different in the face of his boyfriend, something he had never seen, it is a combination of happiness, nostalgia and desire to forget. When the song ends, TJ approaches to give him a kiss, fleeting, slow and enigmatic.

"Thanks for dancing with me"

"TJ ..." Cyrus wonders if he should say something, ask about the sudden strange behavior of his boyfriend or if he should make a little joke, kiss him a little longer and pretend that nothing has happened, "Is something wrong?" he asks, right in the moment when he was determined to kiss him and pretend nothing ever happened.

"Yes and no" Cyrus feels a bit ridiculous to continue in the dance position now that they are still, but somehow, it makes him feel that this conversation is different, more important, more intimate.

"You've always been very good at expressing yourself with words" TJ tries to make a face of anger at Cyrus tease, but he can’t. He closes his eyes and sigh.

"Today is my dad's death anniversary"

"What?" The comment takes Cyrus by surprise.

"Before you say anything, this is not sad, just ..."

"What?" TJ takes a few seconds to search for the perfect word.

"Strange"

"Do you want to talk about it?" TJ sighs again, a new song begins, just the one he was expected.

“Dance with me again?”

"TJ ..." Cyrus knows that his boyfriend is doing this to distract himself, to avoid talking about his feelings or whatever he’s trying to forget. Thy start dancing again and Cyrus realizes this song is, somehow, different, even though it is also slow and really romantic, he knows that’s something different about it, he can see it in TJ’s eyes.

"He never accepted that I am gay"

"Your father?"

"Yeah, and I mean, he never made horrible comments, nor did he force me to marry the daughter of one of his best friends or something like that,” He makes a pause, ”But I could see it in his eyes, the disappointment and I could perceive it when he stopped asking me about my life "

"I'm sorry, TJ"

"Me too," TJ hugs him, still dancing, "the problem is that he was not a bad father, you know? I never knew how to feel about him and before I could decide it, he goes and dies in a car accident." The rain gets stronger, the feelings in the room, too.

"Hey, do not joke about that"

"Why not? I'm pretty sure that if my father lived he would laugh."

"So your father was just as weird as you?" TJ laughs.

"You could say that," They continue dancing, embracing each other, paying attention to each of the notes of the song, not knowing very well what to say. The song ends and is replaced by a more cheerful one, TJ leads them to the ugly couch and they sit down, Cyrus waits for his boyfriend to say something, whatever, he does not want to be impertinent. "Do you remember what you asked me when I turned on the radio?" At that moment, the rain starts to sound even louder in his fourth-floor apartment, and it’s really difficult to listen to the radio, but they don’t care, at least know.

"I told you that it’s too early to listen to jazz."

"I asked my father that same question for many Sundays. After church we went home for breakfast and when we finished he turned on the radio," TJ looks away from him and focuses on the stereo, "he and my mother always danced, my sister and I saw them, when we were kids we made noises to annoy them or faces of disgust when they kissed" He doesn’t know what to feel, it’s the first time in years that he came back to that memory, it’s like that isn´t his life anymore.

"It seems like a beautiful memory"

"It is," TJ sighs, "When I was twelve or maybe thirteen, I can’t remember, I asked him why the hell he danced every Sunday with my mother" TJ rests his back on the sofa, still looking straight ahead, Cyrus approaches and puts his hand on his boyfriend's. “Just so you know, they always dance the last song we danced”

Cyrus doesn’t know what to say, so he asks, "what did he tell you?"

"He said that when I met the right girl I would understand," TJ returns his gaze to his boyfriend, "obviously I did not find the right girl, but now… I understand" TJ uses his free hand to cover his mouth, as if he wanted to hide the smile that was made on his lips or avoid saying some nonsense that ruined the moment.

Cyrus does not say anything, but he has the same look he had that afternoon when TJ said he loved him, he lets go of his hand and lies on his chest, hugging again; he concentrates on listening to his breathing, while Cyrus seems to concentrate on hearing the sound of his heart.

"I don’t know what to say"

"You do not have to say anything, or cook for that matter" Cyrus gently hits him in the stomach and TJ feigns extreme pain; feeling some peace, he had not talked about his father for a long time and he had not realized how much he needed to do it, even if it was a small part of what really happened.

"So you are fine?"

"I am." They fit better on the couch, no matter how much Cyrus complains about how horrible it is, it has always been way too comfortable to get rid of. "You know? My mother and my sister make a dinner every year to remember my father. Maybe we could go next year "

"Next year? Why do not we go tonight?"

"I'm not ready yet," the rain seems to calm down, but it does not stop, "and I really prefer to stay here, with you"

Cyrus smiles and they share a small kiss, "Yeah, me too"

Content Creator Interview #2

In this week’s interview, fandom friends @lilsherlockian1975 and @mrsmcrieff talk about whether they found Sherlock hot or not at first sight, how publicly sharing their work changed their writing, and the hardest thing about writing smutfic (pun fully intended).

And for those who don’t know, today is Lillian’s Birthday, so m’dear, Many Happy Returns!!!!

Hey, so Lilsherlockian1975 and myself, MrsMCrieff, have decided to interview each other for Aine’s challenge. We’re going to try to answer each other’s questions but there is always the danger of us going massively off piste. Our conversations in the past have been eclectic and very wide-ranging not to mention M rated.

 Anyway, I thought we could start by saying how we came into the fandom and more than that writing in the fandom. Lil, do you want to start?

Lil: All right, my sister on another continent, here’s how it went: As I’ve explained about finding The Full House on Pinterest, let’s explore what came before that moment, then just after... I was working third shift at a hotel (I had to as Mr Lil and I didn’t really have any childcare options at the time, so we just worked opposite shifts). The hotel was in a very small town - we were never busy, some nights we sold maybe 2 rooms - I usually spent my time watching Netflix. After making my way through Doctor Who, Star Trek Next Gen, Voyager then (God help me) DS9, Farscape and Firefly, I’d finally run out of anything to watch. You’d be surprised how quickly you can burn through a series binge watching for 8 hours at a time (and getting paid for it!).

 Then… then I found Sherlock. Well, that changed things… a bit.

 “Good Lord, who is the Cumberstud chap and why won’t he have all the sex with me!?” was my first thought, my second was, “Maybe I have a chance with the dishy DI?” and third? “Oh… what fresh hell is this ‘Mycroft’? Yummy!” Then finally, “Ahh, did the casting director somehow read my diary? Creepy but… all right.” To my defense, it was late and I usually worked on very little sleep. Also, I’m a kinky bitch.

 I’d never been involved in a ‘fandom proper’, I suppose. That’s not to say that I wasn’t a fangirl. I am and always have been. I was hugely into the Kevin Smith movies, going as far as visiting the Quick Stop and RST Video in Lenardo, NJ, respectively, as well as The Secret Stash, in Red Bank. I was a comic book geek in my youth, Marvel mostly, but some DC as well.

 After reading The Full House, I desperately needed MORE Sherlock and luckily enough, there was more to be found.

 At first I was just reading, then I wrote and posted a couple of (horrible) fics and met this fellow writer named MrsMCrieff (I might have had a little ‘writing crush’ on you, Mrs!). We chatted on FF.net and struck up a friendship.

 So, for me, writing came before fandom. Mrs was doing some betaing for me, but I didn’t ask for help often; I hated bothering her all the time for the multitude of stories I was turning out. At some point around here, I got an elusive invite to AO3 from sherlockian87, bless her soul, because I kept trying to join and couldn’t get a blessed invitation. Also around this time, I had written a prompt and got a PM from MizJoely asking if she could fix some of my mistakes (she was very sweet about it, even though I totally flipped - half fangirling, half losing my shit because ‘Crap, I screwed up so bad, here was The MizJoely asking if she could edit out my mistakes!’) but she wasn’t being critical at all, of course, just helpful as I soon found out. Shortly after, now having formed a friendship with MIz, she suggested that I start a Tumblr blog. And that’s how it all started.

Yes, sorry… I, um, tend to be a tad loquacious. Writing out my answers doesn’t help one little bit.

 Okay, Mrs, right back atcha!

 Mrs: OK, shall I try to be more concise? I’ll probably fail as I’m terrible as writing short fics they always seem to end up spread over multiple chapters.

 I’m another one who had always been a fangirl, Doctor Who, Buffy, Twilight, vampire Diaries (yeah, I love my vampires) but I’d also been a Sherlock Holmes fan. I’d read all the books in my teens, watched the Basil Rathbone and Jeremy Brett adaptations and even stayed at the Sherlock Holmes hotel on Baker St so when a new series was advertised it was an easy sale.

 I was late to the cumberobsession though. I have to admit watching the first two series as they came out and I remember thinking I like them but it’s a shame Sherlock isn’t that hot. I know, I know, I’m embarrassed even as I write that.

 It all changed after watching season 3 and I blame the Sherlolly kiss 100%. I watched the series, DELETED the records!! And then realised I was spending a lot of time thinking about Sherlock and Benedict...that turned into looking him up online and from there it was a short step to reading Sherlolly fics on fanfic (I was already reading fics for other shipping obsessions). Anyway, it didn’t take long before Sherlolly took over all my other ships and Benedict was my number one hottie.

 As for writing, I hadn’t written anything fiction based since school and school was a long time ago...almost thirty years. But one day I was looking for a specific fic, I wanted to read about Sherlock and Molly having to share body heat and I just couldn’t find anything that satisfied me. I’m not sure why but in that moment I decided to write it myself and in half an hour I’d written Frozen...my first ever fic. It took another couple of hours to pluck up the courage to post it and I clearly remember feeling a bit sick and my hand shaking as I pressed the final button to post.

 Thankfully, I almost immediately started to receive positive reviews and feedback and it wasn’t long before I started to write more...the rest as they say is history. Lil got in touch soon after and it was fun chatting to another writer just starting out. We soon found we were not dissimilar in age and both had two sons and the friendship started there.

 We’ve been through quite a lot over the last few years Lil and written some fab stories. Wouldn’t you agree?

 (I should let on that we are now faffing about trying to find the original list of questions...we are trying to be professional).

 Ok Lil, so I’ve looked at Aine’s questions and they look really hard. Any preferences on which ones you want to answer :).

 Lil: I think a great follow up to that first one is this: How did posting your first story change your process of writing? So I’m shooting it back to you, Mrs, and you can send me that one or select a new one for me. Tag, you’re it!

 Mrs: I can tell you quite simply how it changed my process of writing...given that it was my first piece of writing in 30 years I was starting from scratch when it came to any process. One thing that I started with that’s held true for me ever since is that my stories are fully mapped out and written before I even start posting the first chapter. I will edit and make refinements but the bones of the story are there.

 I know lots of people post a chapter and then write the next chapter but that would put me under too much pressure. The downside is that if someone gives me a prompt they could be waiting months before they see it posted. The upside is if I’ve started posting a fic you will get the end of it as it’s already been written.

 There have only been two exceptions to this method: Sherlock Holmes, Vampire which I worked on over a year or so posting four chapters every so often as I wrote them...it was stressful. And the other is Never Have I Ever which was/is more of a collection of one shots woven together into a fic.

 How about you Lil? How did it change for you?

 Lil: So, I’d been writing little stories and whatnot for years and years but, having no idea that there was such a thing as ff.net or AO3, I had no place to put them. Writing was always a very, very distant dream of mine. I have loads of notebooks filled with stories, story ideas and my own personal ramblings (unfortunately, my Tumblr followers now have to read the ‘ramblings business’). I stopped for many years after my roommate/best friend since childhood found some of my writing in college that I’d carefully hidden under my bed. I came home to find her in my room, sat on the floor, on the phone with our Art History professor (whom she was sleeping with), as she read him my story and laughed hysterically at its awfulness.

 I was devastated and vowed never to write again.

 But that changed, of course. Those first maybe ten stories were just me letting my mind go and getting out what I wanted to say (aided by liberal amounts of wine). Since then, however, my ‘process’ has changed drastically. I don’t always write an outline (never for one shots, which I write often) but I generally do for long fics. If not, it’s easy for me to get lost and miss critical points. My writing has become more about ‘layering’ for lack of a better word.

 I found after those first few posted fics, that in going back and re-reading them I wanted to make changes. I didn’t re-edit them (because I’m lazy), but it made me realize that my writing required more time and proofing before posting; that first draft is just the start for me - a thin layer of primer paint on a canvas, if you will. I then read over it and add more details and more and more until I get the desired effect. Again, much like oil painting, I have to build things up, layer by layer. This works for me; I have no idea if it’s a proper method of writing. So, posting my first fic(s) helped me learn that I shouldn’t be so trigger happy about posting if the story wasn’t ready.

 Okay, Mrs, this one is geared specifically towards you. I don’t think anyone would argue with me about your supernatural ability to write ‘case fics’, so let me ask: Which do you prefer writing, case fics or fluffy smut-filled romps? And why?

 Mrs: Oh God, ask me something easy why don’t you. Both, I like writing both. I love the depth of a case fic, the idea, the research, plotting it out and working out the characters and detail but it’s so time consuming and I often write a bit, leave it, come back to it etc. etc. so a detailed case fic can take six months.

 Fluff on the other hand is less satisfying but quicker (my minds already in the gutter with an analogy).

 Woohoo I kept is fairly short for once. So, here’s one that’s good for you. I’m endlessly envious of how easily you make friends and how you know so many people in the fandom whereas I’m the introverted hermit. Which other authors are you friends with, and how have they help you become a better writer?

 Lil: Goodness! You make me sound like a social butterfly (Mr Lil calls me that all the time!). I like people, plain and simple. Other than you, I am close to MizJoely and Darnedchild, that’s no secret, so I’ll talk about them first (you included, because you’ve made me a better writer, I’m sure of it - have actual proof!)

 I cannot count the ways Miz has helped me improve my writing. She figuratively took me by the ear and said “okay, you don’t suck but do you even know what a comma is used for?” No, not those actual words, she was much kinder about it, but I got the hidden meaning and I needed it, trust me. She also challenges me and is not afraid to be honest with me when I’ve written something that isn’t good or perhaps doesn’t fit. I know I’ve improved since she started betaing for me, like a 1000%. And Child… When I volunteered to beta for the Big Bang Challenge, I had no idea what I was getting into, but man… she’d written and enormous fic. Good, amazing really, but it was longer than anything I’d ever worked on before. It scared the shit out of me but I really think it was exactly what I needed. Betaing someone else’s work can really make you see your own mistakes from a new perspective. I feel like I jumped ahead after working on the BBC with Child. As for you, MrsMCrieff, just the other day I had The Best compliment… someone actually thought I was British! Yes, that happened. I can only attribute that little feat to you, my friend. You’ve taught me when to add a ‘u’, when not to zed and about many different terms like pavement, taps, hob, loo, trousers (we really don’t say that here!). Not to mention the fact that most European men aren’t circumcised. Who knew?! It’s pretty common in the US.

 But that’s just a few. I cannot count the number of fandom friends who have helped me and all the ways that they’ve done so. That doesn’t mean I won’t try…

 There’s likingthistoomuch who always listens to my ideas and encouraged me to post my first Harry Potter fic. OhAine has been a true friend from the very beginning, always insightful and supportive. Mellovesall who is just too sweet for words and always helps with edits, no matter what’s going on in her life. Kendrapendragon who let me bounce ideas for my Mirror Has Two Faces AU off of her for like a whole day! the-sapphiresky who has helped me with this historical AU that may or may not ever see the light of day. Allthebellsinvenice who answered about a dozen questions (over two years!) for Dig Down Deep when I’d panic about some D/s situation I’d written myself into. o0katiekins0o who backs me up when I’m in the middle of a sensitive subject. I can always depend on her to help me when I’m afraid I’m crossing a line. Broomclosetkink, Lord help me! She’s pinch hit for me when I’ve written a fic for Miz or if I just need a good laugh. She’s the best. Sweets… it’s very hard to talk about sweet-sweet-escape. I still cannot even bring myself read her stories or the ones I wrote for her without breaking down, but no one was more supportive or kind to me than Sweets. I miss her so much.

 Then there’s all the love and support I received from everyone during The Fic That Shall Not Be Named debacle. That’s when I knew how much this fandom (well, this ship, really) had my back! I will never forget how much love and support I received. Bless you all!

 I’m forgetting people and I hate that. But I really do love all my fandom friends as if I see them and hang out with them every day. I mean that.

 Okay, Mrs, here’s one for you (I’m going back to the list for this one because I like it and I think it’s interesting): What’s the most difficult thing about writing characters of the opposite sex?

 Mrs: See, see I said you knew loads of people!

 As for your question that’s easy to answer...knowing what it feels like when they get aroused and orgasm. I’m more than happy being female but it would be kind of interesting just to be a guy for one day. It would improve my writing no end.

 On a wider note when it comes to writing characters I don’t think any of us made it easy on ourselves when we decided to try to write being a high functioning sociopathic genius. I think I can speak for most of us when I say he’s not the easiest person to try to write authentically. I just wish I had half his knowledge then I wouldn’t feel like such an idiot when I’m writing him.

 I gave my youngest son the option of any number between 1 and 40. He chose 7 so does writing energise or exhaust you?

 Lil: It absolutely energises me! I do get frustrated trying to find time to write, but actually writing does amazing things for my mental and physical self. I find that I’m much more productive around the house when I’m in the middle of a writing jag. I’ll sit and write for a while, then get up and pound out some chores (usually more quickly as to get back to my computer). Somehow, this works for me. Frankly, it’s probably got to do with my ADHD. I’m the kind of person who needs to do multiple things at once. I’m the same at work; I cannot just stand behind the registrar for 8 hours. I practically beg my managers for extra work, which they’re happy to give me.

 I have an original question for you, love: How does a bad review affect you?

 Mrs: I’ll be honest I don’t react well to a bad review but it does depend on whether I think it’s valid or not. You probably know each and every time I’ve had one because I will probably have sent you a screen shot and asked your opinion. Thankfully they have been few and far between, occasionally they have made me think...especially if I’m being accused of using a tired old trope and I’ve made the effort to up my game in future fics but often they are just being nasty for the sake of it.

 Writing is such a personal thing though, we give a piece of ourselves in each and every fic so it’s hard to not take criticism very personally.

 Same question to you Lil.

 Lil: Oh, I’m a giant baby about a bad review and have been known to take it very personally. At first I brood… like really hard, thinking on the entire thing much longer than necessary. I suppose it depends on the nature and tone, for the most part though. If it’s attacking and spiteful, I’ll attack right back but if it’s coming from a ‘goodish’ place, I do try to look at my writing a bit more objectively (I don’t always succeed). Anonymous bad reviews get to me the most. The fact that I cannot reply drives me up the wall!

 Okay, we’re wrapping this up (else we could go on forever!) Thanks so much and a big thanks to Aine for organizing this as well!

 Mrs & Lil

Part One,Part Two,Part Three, Part Four

‘Who the hell does he think he is?!’ you complained as you removed your makeup.

‘Your ex.’ Maggie said.

‘Exactly… ex, as in not now. Seriously, my first night out looking for a quick rebound and he pops up.’

‘Well I want to agree and let you rant but I did say a rebound was a bad idea.’ your friend and roommate said.

‘And I want you to listen to me rant, so the whole I told you so thing isn’t helping.’ you grinned over your shoulder.

‘It needed saying nonetheless.’ she grinned back.

‘Anyway why are so offended, most women are flattered when their ex can’t move on.’ Maggie said.

‘Well call me crazy but I don’t like that he thought some half ass apology and explanation would make me go back to dealing with his shit.’ you said as you stood from your seat and turned to look at her.

‘Do you know how shitty it feels to know all your friends talk about you having so low of an opinion of yourself that you stay with a cheating asshole?’ you said as you sat on the bed beside Maggie.

‘I don’t and just to clarify I never talked shit behind your back, I prefer the face to face method.’

‘That’s why I like you, but more than that, Hvitserk looked truly shocked that I didn’t fall into his arms the second I saw him.’ you added.

‘Well he is a boy and their minds aren’t as great as ours, I’m not just going to say you get over him though.’ she advised.

‘So just take him back and let him cheat on me some more?’ you snipped.

‘No, but be honest you love him still. He drives you nuts, but you miss him like hell and you know it.’ Maggie said.

You sighed and laid back on the mattress.

‘Of course I miss the asshole, but loving him more than me isn’t good for either of us. He’ll just get worse and I’d just sit there and let it happen. I’m gonna fall in love with me before I even think about being with him again.’

‘Self love is the best love, that’s what I say.’ Maggie replied as she laid beside you.

‘Right, and it's a new love for me.’

‘Well enjoy it, if I loved me any more than I do now I wouldn’t need Ubbe at all.’` she joked.

‘Ew I don’t need that kind of insight on your self love, nasty.’ you laughed.

A knock on the door came and interrupted your little girl talk and Maggie hurried to get it.

‘Babe!’ she cheered.

You rolled your eyes and put on your slides and grabbed a hoodie, it was time to go. As much as you loved them Ubbe and Maggie were the over sexual couple that made everyone uncomfortable.

Quickly you picked up you bag and phone and scurried through the living room, keeping your head down as you tried to ignore all the little whines Maggie makes.

At last you made it out of the apartment, with minimum trauma.

Well they’d need a few hours and it was two AM, where could you go to wait them out?

The twenty four hour cafe never let you down and a few of those pastries would definitely not hurt either.

Off you went to the cafe, once you were there you bought a danish and a hot chocolate and got a good table by an outlet so you could charge your phone.

Honestly you wanted to go to bed, but you can think of worse things to do at three in the morning.

Like moping and crying over an idiot who mistreated you.

‘Excuse me?’

You look up in shock and see a very handsome guy standing by you with a laptop bag in one hand and a coffee in the other.

‘Do you mind if I sit with you, the other outlets ore shot out.’ he said nervously.

‘Oh sure, go ahead.’ you said moving your bag from the chair across from you and let the guy sit down and take out his computer and charger.

‘Thanks, this is the only cafe with decent wifi for eight blocks and I didn’t want to go that far out this late.’ he chatted.

‘Same, so what are you working on?’ you asked.

‘My thesis, last one.’ he said.

‘Oh congratulations, my best friend just graduated earlier this month, you must be from a different college.’ you commented.

‘I’d guess so, I go to Wessex University.’

‘Oh wow, you would not get along with Ivar at all. He’s from Kattegat and a damn proud Heathen.’ you laughed.

‘Ew, a Heathen.’ the boy dramatically said making you laugh.

‘What’s your name Saxon boy?’ you asked.

‘Alfred and what’s your name Heathen Girl.’

‘Not a Heathen, but my name is (Y/N).’ you replied.

‘So what are doing out so late?’ Alfred asked.

‘Roommate’s boyfriend came over, fill in the blanks.’ you sighed.

‘Yuck.’

‘I know. What about you, bad wifi at home?’ you guessed.

‘Roommate had a sock on the door.’

‘Yuck.’ you repeated.

‘I know.’ he repeated as well.

The two of you kept on talking and chatting and just generally getting along and enjoying each other’s company.

‘You are a mess.’ you laughed.

‘I like to call myself unorganized.’ he grinned.

‘Hey can I get your number, I need to know if you are this funny all day or if this is just sleep deprivation I’m talking to.’ you said.

‘Alright.’ Alfred said as he took your phone and put in his number and called himself.

You both saved each other as contacts and the conversation went on as before, smooth and easy.

It felt like no time had passed at all, that’s why you were so confused to see the sun rising outside.

‘Oh shit, its six AM!’ you gasped.

‘Oh fuck! I should get back to the dorm, I gotta a class at twelve and I need at least four hours to get through the day.’ he said as he gathered his things.

‘Damn I better let you go, and I’m sure my roommate is finish by now.’ you said as you too gathered your things.  

‘It was great talking to you, just the kind of convo I needed after two weeks of straight lectures and my roommate checking to see if I’m dead before telling me he has a dude or girl coming over.’ he joked.

‘See you around Heathen.’ Alfred said as you both exited the cafe.

‘I’m not a Heathen, but goodbye Saxon Boy.’ you bid farewell before the two of you parted ways.

As you walked back to Maggie’s apartment you thought back to how you never got to meet new people when you were with Hvitserk.

Sure he was by no means controlling, but with him your world was him and you saw whoever he did, if he didn’t know someone then neither did you. Outside of him and his brothers you didn’t really talk to other men, some part of you hoped Hvitserk would see your loyalty and do the same.

Didn’t work.

Now you did not have to sit home and wait for him to come back from whoever he was with, you could go out and make friends again.

Once you were back hope you grossed out to see A very much naked and passed out couple on the couch.

You sighed and put the throw blanket over them and made a note not to sit there until it was steam cleaned.

Thankfully you had gotten a call yesterday saying you had been approved for an apartment closer to your job.

You went back to your room and laid down ready to crash when you phone chimed, letting you know that you had text.

Expecting it to be Alfred you looked, but it was someone else.

Hvitserk: Please don’t ignore this.

You wanted to just put down your phone and ignore it like you had all his text, but to be honest you had stopped being angry.

Being mad all the time is exhausting and you really didn’t realize that until after you had hand made a Hvitserk Pinata and beat the holy hell out it.

Your arms were sore, the rooms were a mess and even when it was broken you were so mad you went to your knees and hand ripped all the pieces to shreds.

That was how unleashed all your rage, now you had no reason to ignore his texts.

(Y/N): What is it? Is something wrong?

Hvitserk: No, I just want to talk, really talk not like tonight with all the noise. You and me sitting down

You read that text over a few times before you replied.

Y/N: What is there to talk about?

Hvitserk: I owe you an apology and an explanation. A real one, not just me begging you to take me back as I am.

Hvitserk: Not that I don’t still want you to take me back if that’s on the table, lol

You hated how that stupid man could make you laugh.

Y/N: when do you want to talk and where, maybe I’ll show up.

Hvitserk: Tonight at nine, our special place.

That took you by surprise, you hadn’t been there in forever, you were surprised he even remembered.

Y/N: Alright, if I’m not busy.

You hesitated for a few seconds before you closed your eyes and hit send.

With that said you put down the phone and turned it off before rolling over and making yourself go to bed.

After you woke up a around two you got to work packing your things and during your breaks you would look for a good moving company to take your things from storage.

Honestly you were being productive AF, and while you were proud of yourself you knew you were just trying to procrastinate.

You didn’t want to think about your meeting with Hvitserk, you still weren’t sure you were even going to show.

“GO BESTFRIEND THAT’S MY BEST FRIEND!” your phone blasted Ivar’s ringtone.

You picked it up and put it on speaker while you went back to marking boxes.

‘What the hell are doing you idiot?’ Ivar said.

‘Hello to you too Ivar.’ you laughed.

‘Don’t get cute, my idiot brother is a nervous wreck right now and you can’t tell me you have nothing to do with it.

‘I have no idea what you’re talking about, all I have done is agree to see him tonight.’ you said.

‘So it was you, I swear to the Gods (Y/N), this idiot is one call away from me killing him.’ Ivar said.

‘Good, don’t tell me you don’t think he deserves to sweat for while.’

‘He does obviously, but why does he have to get on my nerves while he’s in it. If he calls my phone one more time I swear I’m going to track his phone and hit his ass with my car.’ he ranted.

‘It would be a shame to go to jail right after your graduation, plus with the move I don’t think I will have enough money to put on your books.’ you teased.

‘You suck, I hope you can’t find anything to wear tonight.’ Ivar bit.

‘Who says I’ll go?’

‘You will, you’re too curious not to.’ Ivar said before the line went dead.

‘Asshole.’ you smiled.

You looked at the time and saw that it it was six, you’d need to leave soon, and you did need to start getting ready.

Ivar was right, as much as you hated to admit it, you wanted to hear Hvitserk out and did want to look immaculate.

So you showered and put on a outfit, for yourself, not him. You wore jeans, heels and a crop top, make up done and accessories added.

You were ready to go, but before you got to the door you stopped.

Why not make him wait for once?

You sat back on the armchair and cut on the TV, you weren’t going to leave at nine.

It was easier said than done you found out, you felt really bad and caved, leaving at eight forty five.

By the time that you do reach your location it was nine fifty.

You got out of your car and looked at you and Hvitserk’s special place.

His father’s first house, it was a small house in a middle class neighborhood; Ragnar had lived here before he had started off his company. This was where he stayed with his first wife Lagertha before he met Aslaug on a business trip.

After his divorce and his company had truly taken off he moved out and into a new larger home with Hvitserk’s mother, but he never sold his first home.

This is where Hvitserk took you for your first date, where you and he had sex for the first time. This was where you two came to be alone before you had moved in together.

It was the place where you pretended you truly were the only woman in Hvitserk life.

Hvitserk's car was in the driveway so clearly he was here waiting for you.

A small part of you was surprised by that as you walked up to the door and rang the bell.

Immediately it was thrown open, you were surprised it wasn't yanked of the hinges.

There he was, Hvitserk, the man who broke your heart and destroyed your world.

He was dressed in a dress shirt, business pants and shoes.

It was your favorite outfit on him and he knew it.

'Hi.’ Hvitserk said nervously as he looked at you and your attire.

You knew he liked you better in dresses and skirt, easy access and quickly removed. You hoped your clothes would convey your secret message that you were not here to have make up sex.

'Hey.’ you said back.

'I didn't think you would show.’ he said as he stepped aside and let you in.

'I thought about it, but I do think you owe me an explanation. I deserve that at least.’

'You do, and you deserved more than what I gave you.’ he said sincerely.

'Come on, I cooked if you're hungry.’ Hvitserk offered, leading you to the kitchen.

'You cooked, by yourself?’ you asked in shock.

'Well it's just pasta and garlic bread, nothing gourmet, but I did my best.’ he blushed.

If you judged by how much he ate you would think he cooked all the time, but you would be wrong. You had to drag him away from whatever he was doing to make him help you cook otherwise he’d live on junk food and takeout.

So the fact that he had actually cooked alone spoke volumes.

You went to sit at the table and Hvitserk pulled out your chair like he always did when you two were out before he sat down the plates.

He went to the kitchen for a second and returned with two plates of and sat one down across from you.

You thanked him for the food and began eating, it was pretty good and you let him know as much, this seemed to make him sigh in relief.

‘I’m happy you like it, but I’m even happier that you came (Y/N). I know that you didn’t have to and I didn’t deserve it.’ he said.

‘You didn’t, but I do, so please tell me the truth. Why did you cheat and why did you never stop.’ you asked sitting down your fork.

‘I...at first we weren’t serious or exclusive and I thought there was nothing wrong with what I was doing. I thought you had felt the same way, we were just...going on dates. Then it was more and you wanted to be official.’

‘I begged you to be exclusive, because I already knew what was going on then.’ you corrected.

‘And I said we were, and at first I tried, but then I went out and met someone I don’t even remember the name of. It felt horrible seeing you after that, but then nothing changed and I thought I had gotten away with it. You didn’t say anything, so I just…’

‘Kept on doing it, because I didn’t say anything?’

‘Because I thought I could, I never thought you would find out or that you would leave. I thought...no I knew you loved me more than anything, and I took advantage of that.’ Hvitserk confessed.

‘You did, and I knew...and I hurt.’ you said as tears came to your eyes.

‘I always knew and I always acted like I never saw it because I did love you. I don’t know why but when my friend sent me that picture of you with that secretary...I couldn’t pretend anymore. I was tired and angry and just fed up with you and your shit.’ you finished.

'I didn't know that you knew, and I know that's no excuse, but I do wish you would have spoken up before.’

'I tried once, when I asked to be exclusive, and you looked me in the eye and lied. You said I was the only one for you whenever I asked.’

'You are, the other women really meant nothing to me. They would get angry when I'd leave or they get impatient with me not spending time with them, but I didn't care. They came and went and it never had any affect on me, then you left and everything went wrong.’ he explained.

‘I couldn’t stand waking up without you, being in that apartment and not hearing you moving around, even the shows we watched together weren’t as good without your commentary to make me laugh.’ he finished.

‘Just because you cared about me more than the others doesn’t make it better. There should have been no other women, maybe before I asked to be exclusive you had an excuse...but after that?’

‘I know that, I should have been faithful to you and respected you enough to tell you what was happening. What I did was hurtful, disrespectful, dishonest, stupid, and arrogant. If by some miracle you took I would spend every second trying earn your trust and showing you how sorry I am.’ Hvitserk promised.

‘Oh Hvitserk...I have waited two years to hear you say those words, then I spent a year realizing I’d never hear them.’ you said.

‘And this year?’

‘I think at this point I just don’t care. Even if you were telling the truth I don’t trust you. I don’t want to go back always wondering what you are doing and never feeling like I’m enough.’ you answered.

‘Please (Y/N), don’t let this be the end of us.’ he pleaded, standing up and walking around the table and taking your hand before he kneeled in front of you.

‘We did have good times when we were together but honestly the bad outweighed the good tenfold.’ you said sadly as you pulled your hand away.

Hvitserk looked devastated and despite you feeling in your heart you were making the right decision it broke your heart to see him like this.

With a heavy heart you stood from your seat and Hvitserk stood as well.

‘A lot of what went wrong with us was your fault, but not all the blame was on you. I didn’t communicate that your actions were hurting me and I let it carry on. You were the love of my life but you are bad for me, I’m sorry Hvitserk.’ you apologized before walking away.

‘I will keep trying to show you that I’ve changed, I will make you see that I can be trusted not to hurt you like I did before.’

You stopped by the door with your hand on the door knob.

‘That’s another thing, I don’t want you to do anything for me. You need to do it for you Hvitserk. This can’t be the type of man you wanted to be, this is how Ragnar  destroyed both of his marriages.’

‘He’s still married.’ he tried.

‘Does your mother love him?’ you challenged as you turned to face him.

When he didn’t answer you continued.

‘Does he love her? Is their relationship what you want for the two of us? Because if it is then it’s good thing we ended things before I started to hate you.’ you finished before you left.

Closing the door behind yourself felt almost like some deep metaphor, your time with Hvitserk had come to an end and you knew it. There was no going back to what it was because what it was wasn’t good for you.

Even if you had taken him back and he had actually stayed faithful this time you would probably still be looking over your shoulder. The paranoia would drive you nuts, there would be no point in the relationship if there was no trust.

Your head was much clearer after your talk with Hvitserk which was really all that you wanted to get out of this.

Once you had got into your car your phone chimed with a message, you pulled it out of your pocket and saw that Alfred had texted you.

Alfred: Another sock on the door wanna meet at the cafe again, I’ll buy the pastries.

For a second you looked up at the house where you left Hvitserk, but then you replied.

(Y/N): I’m there.

WANTED SHIP PLOTS. 

   lately i have been thinking about very specific plots for my muses and they aren’t exactly ones that i can just reblog into my wishlist or whatever but they are very unique to my girls. so i’ve decided to compile all of those plots here, in hopes that someone will see this list and want to do one, two or five. if you want to do any of the plots under the cut with my girlies, please just im me and we can go from there!! these are basically my ultimate ship plots for them that i will actually kill a man for.

**all lesbian plots are highly selective and will only continue if we plot things out extensively and i feel comfortable with roleplaying with you**

PARK AERI. 25. HETEROSEXUAL. MODEL/ACTRESS.

the classic arranged marriage/engagement plot. maybe the son of her father’s business partner? they decide it will be a good business deal for them (and ofc aeri’s mother would agree cause it will make aeri even more of a hot topic) and like maybe the guy needs to fix his image so they’re thrown together. the feeling doesn’t have to be mutual but aeri will probably hate him and make it known but she will also like warm up to him. 

beauty and the bodyguard aka he’s her bodyguard and maybe she gets drunk one night and comes on to him but he just takes her home. but then gets cocky the next day and teases her about it and that will probably build up tension for aeri so they end up sleeping together. but then it happens again and again and it becomes a cycle until they’re left with figuring out what the hell they’re gonna do esp when photos are released by the press of the two of them being cozy. 

aeri is lowkey a big nerd so maybe she goes to the one bookstore frequently and has kinda developed a friendship with the owner/worker and they’re like the only person in the world that kind of sees her being herself and idk maybe he asks her on a date and shes like *blushes* 

literally any plot where she falls in love with a bad boy like maybe he’s a killer or a gang member but like she gets turned on by it because she’s literally the worst

LEE EUNJIN. 21. BISEXUAL. ASPIRING ACTRESS.

forever wanting roommate plots for her because it’s just funny and your muse will get a kick out of seeing her in her natural habitat failing to Function

tbh i wouldn’t mind something where she ends up dating a single parent? like eunjin is literally a child herself and if she really likes the person she will want to make it work even if it means putting on a diaper backwards or something 

DO BORA. 19. QUESTIONING. MED STUDENT.

her first gay experience?? yes please?? like bora is the purest baby ever and like having a crush on a girl will be the softest thing ever and it would be so sweet if she had a girlfriend who kinda takes her under her wing and shows her the gay way. she will be the most flustered lil angel 

i really want maybe a ghost/bora plot or something? she’s a clairvoyant and can see ghosts and she’s also like a magnet for supernatural things and has been all her life so it would be interesting for her to like idk fall in love with a ghost

literally any supernatural creature x bora ship makes me excited. 

your muse works at the hospital she is interning at as an entertainer in the childrens ward or something and they cross paths often and their first unofficial date is them eating vending machine food at 3am while she’s on a 14 hour shift and then it turns to them sneaking into the janitors closet and her turning to them when she loses her first patient etc. 

CHA MUHYEON. 24. HETEROSEXUAL. GOVERNMENT ASSASSIN/AGENT.

they both work for the government and are assigned to do an undercover mission where they need to be husband and wife in a neighbourhood to gather intel or something and they basically end up actually being a married couple and falling in love

a life as we know it plot where they went on a blind date set up by their friends who happen to be a couple years before and it was shit, they end up despising each other. flash forward and that friend couple are married and have a baby that they are the god parents of. those friends die in a crash and they’re left to raise their child. 

childhood best friend who is like her bro that she gets fake engaged to just to shut her parents up and to make it seem like she has a normal life and it’s like awkward for them to kiss and stuff but ofc they end up falling in love.

a bad boy criminal who finesses her and she falls in love with him when working his case and now theres a major conflict of interest because oh no he’s really bad. 

THEODORA. 26. BISEXUAL. MECHANIC. 

roommates to lovers please and thank you. like they would have to be a bro kind of person for her to get along with and like imagine if they are both pretty broke so they only have a studio apartment to share with one bed. 

younger!teddy moves in across the street for the summer with her family. falls in love with your muse for the summer but they need to part ways, only for her to be bit by a werewolf on the day she was supposed to leave. she needs to stay in town to be part of her pack so she ends up still living across the street and your muse is like ?? and she explains it. basically human significant other x an adjusting werewolf pls. 

PARK NARI. 26. HETEROSEXUAL. EX IDOL/SONGWRITER.

maybe a boy that she grew up playing baseball with since that was pretty much her childhood and they reunite years later after she debuted and also fell from the spotlight as an idol idk?

a fake engagement plot between her and a work colleague since her mother is always pressuring her to be a wife and have kids so she decides to take matters into her own hands and fakes it to get her off her back. fails to realize she needs to actually pretend to be in love with this person and things get awkward at work. 

maybe an old trainee/idol friend who she hasn’t seen since she debuted years ago gets signed to her company and walks into her office one day to record a demo for a song that she was working on. maybe the song was written about them. maybe she was in love with them??

MOON OCTAVIA. 22. QUESTIONING. ART STUDENT.

childhood best friends/neighbours who wave grown up together and have been inseparable since birth? like they have basically been dating all their lives just without the kissing and stuff: girlfriends have always been jealous of her or threatened even though everyone in town has accepted they are like this. going into college she gets into witchcraft and puts a love spell on him after realizing she has a case of Feelings. plot twist: the spell doesn’t work on them because they are already in love with her. also their parents are best friends too and provide funny commentary and her dad is actually surprised they end up together even tho the other parents have been rooting for them.

basically she’s the school’s big old virgin and gets made fun of a lot for it and maybe there’s a jock who makes a bet with his buddies where they are like “i bet u won’t be able to take her v card” so he starts dating her as a bet. but falls in love with her. lots of angst when she finds out. 

okay but also something like buffy the vampire slayer where she’s like willow aka the witch and your muse is like xander aka the human friend and idk i have some ideas (may have lowkey written a fanfiction that was a the 100 x btvs cross over and that is what octavia is based off of)

another first gay experience would be great for this lil bean. she’s another one who would get flustered and shy over having a crush on a girl and stuff.

TEACHER X STUDENT PLOT TOO!! 

ANDROMEDA LEE. 24. BISEXUAL. CRIMINAL. 

an inmate x guard relationship like in s1 of orange is the new black but she doesn’t end up pregnant with a baby (or maybe she does who knows) and maybe they end up living happily ever after once she gets out. 

someone she does shady stuff with who has kinda always had her back even though they have gotten in trouble doing things together but still. 

good boy/girl bad girl but they find out that at heart she is actually a good girl.

22. If you could have any superpower, what would it be? Superspeed would be pretty good, because it’s multi-purpose, but I’d quite like to have Mystique’s powers (morphing to look like whatever I want) because I think it would be fascinating.

45. top three authors: Jane Austen, Agatha Christie, William Shakespeare.

46. favorite season? Autumn, but Winter is a close second. 

47. favorite high school musical? The third, followed by one and then two. The music in two is amazing, but the storyline just didn’t do it for me. (it wasn’t brave enough to just LET CHAD AND RYAN BE OPENLY GAY FOR EACH OTHER, DAMMIT!)

50. dream vacation? Copenhagen, Florence, Amsterdam - just travelling through those places and enjoying the ambiance. 

51. last dream you remember? I'm pretty stressed about going to uni in two weeks time, and last night I had what started out as a stress dream where I moved into the uni accommodation, and no-one liked me or wanted me to be there, and I didn’t have a roommate. Then halfway through the dream it took a turn and Diyoza and Murphy showed up as my roommates (oh my god they were roommates), and I was suddenly having the best fucking time ever. I didn’t want it to end.
