Could I be able to put in a request
BFF ghost part 3 😂😂
Please 😊
i've put off pt 3 of bff ghost for far too long and i apologize for that. i hope this part makes up for it!!! let me know if you'd like to see more as it's always so fun writing these out! thank you for requesting, and as always, i hope you enjoy <3
warnings: none besides ghost being cute lil softie
summary: when the 141 is granted a much needed break, simon discovers you have no one to go home to and decides to intervene.
i don't know about you guys, but i personally feel like price can be a little shit when he wants to be
so when he gets the idea to try and get a two week break approved for the 141, he doesn't tell any of you for two reasons
the first reason being he doesn't want to get anyone's hopes up in case it's not approved, he'd hate to see the lot of you disappointed
and the second reason being he lives off the way all of you communicate to each other with confused glances and hushed whispers when you catch him walking toward his truck (yes, he has a truck. it's a pickup and he's named it betsy courtesy of gaz. argue with the wall) with his duffle bag full of clothes
you, gaz, and soap are all quietly arguing amongst yourselves to see who's brave enough to ask price if he's abandoning the task force
and simon will just kinda roll his eyes before pushing past the three of you and walking up to price and saying something like, "what's this about?"
then price, the deceitful little bastard, will turn to face all of you with perhaps fakest expression of confusion before he just goes, "oh, i didn't tell you? 141's been given a two week leave."
and if weren't for the smug smile stretched across his lips, you all probably would've believed that he genuinely just forgot to tell you because, hello? old man alert.
anyway
gaz and soap are quick to shout out their disproval of him not telling them until literally the very last second because, hey, what if i wanted to travel and go see family?
but let's be honest, price is a thoughtful man so he definitely spent the last few weeks asking each of you questions here and there about what you'd do if you got a small break
best believe that man is gonna splurge on some plane tickets if need be because he just loves his dumb little unit that much
he'll probably even blabber off something about needing that money back, but honestly, just get him a pack of quality cigars and all is forgiven
anyway
price offers his final goodbyes before driving off leaving the rest of you to just kinda stand there in shock of what just happened
it's soap who break away first by perking up and declaring that he's finally gonna be able to see his family again and his outburst will cause gaz to come to the same realization
so they give you and simon their farewells before running back off to the barracks
you'll kinda stand there for a bit not really knowing what to say, but then simon will nudge your shoulder before walking off to the barracks with you in tow
you both split off so you can go to your own rooms to pack and it doesn't take you very long
i imagine you'd stop by simon's room to give him a quick goodbye, but quickly decide to scrap that plan when you find his room already empty
so now you're pretty much just quietly making your way over to your car with your bag slung onto your shoulder as you try to figure out what the hell you're gonna do with yourself for the next two weeks
meanwhile you don't even realize simon is leaning against your car trying to figure out why you look so down when he thought you'd be the happiest out of any of them to finally sleep in your own bed for once
but you're so wrapped up in your own head that you nearly jump out of you own skin when simon's deep voice cuts through with a simple, "what's wrong?"
and once you've finally calmed yourself down you'll look up at him with a quizzical look, "why are you still here? i thought you left already."
and he'll just kinda rolls his eyes before responding, "you thought i'd leave without saying bye?"
and you'll shrug with a simple, "figured you'd wanna hurry back to your back to your batcave."
and this definitely gets a small huff of laughter out from him because of course you still hadn't let that joke die out yet
he's amused by it and he probably always will be but he'll never tell you that
even though you already know
"'nough of that. what's wrong with you?"
you'll just kinda shrug him off, "nothing, why?"
and he won't even respond to that, he'll just give you a blank stare like 👁️👁️😐
and as comfortable as you've grown with each other, that stare still makes you feel pretty unnerved so you'll break, "just don't see the point in going home if i'm just gonna be all on my own is all."
and he probably doesn't see it as a big deal at first cause that's literally what he does all the time
and he'll probably go as far to even say something like, "people do it all the time, you'll be fine."
and you'll try to take it in stride because you know deep down he's right, but you're still a bit down about it
and he knows you are
and so he does something he never imagined himself doing. ever.
"you want some company?"
and you just kinda scoff at first before saying something like, "who's gonna stay with me for two whole weeks?"
and that's when you look up and see him staring down at you with an expectant gaze and then it all just kinda clicks so you're just like, "oh."
and while that reaction would've been more than enough for him to freeze up and retract from the conversation entirely in the early stages of your friendship, he's come to understand you're just a bit shocked so he'll ask again with a bit of rephrashing
think something like, "either you say yes in the next five seconds or i leave you in the dirt."
obviously you say yes
you take his truck (yes, he also has a truck. fight me.) because he states it has more leg room than your car
but in reality he just likes the idea of finally having someone to ride along with him in his truck because he's never gotten comfortable enough with anyone to have them ride with him :(
and you just want him to be as cozy as possible so you agree
and while many may think driving with a man as prickly as simon is nothing short of hell on earth
it's honestly just straight vibes
he's quick to show you his little stash of dad rock CDs and you'll go through them all before eventually putting one of them in the player
and there's no way you can convince me that this man won't jokingly criticize whatever CD you chose to play because he lives for being a pain in the ass
nevermind the fact you purposefully put in his favorite CD because you explicitly remember him telling you all about it one evening while you two were having dinner in the mess hall
anyway <3
having already been friends for quite some time now, i think it goes without saying that you two are able to fall into relatively easy conversation
it probably starts off mainly being about work, but then it gradually turns into talking about the others and speculating on what they're doing with their time off
you throw out the playful idea that soap is living it up on his nan's farm with the livestock, specifically the sheep
simon probably offers a comment about hoping they're all ramming their heads into his body
then you say you can imagine gaz spoiling all of his little nieces and nephews with an abundance of sugar and toys that are maybe just a tad too expensive for kids that aren't even old enough to go to school yet
this will probably just cause simon to let out a light scoff as he mutters something about, "having to sit through a slideshow of those damn kids when we get back," and you can't even argue with that cause it's totally gonna happen
then i can imagine you two falling into a small bout of silence before you decide that price is probably having the time of his life sitting in his boat on a lake and catching some fish
and simon wholeheartedly agrees with you because price and a quiet fishing trip go together like popcorn and butter
it just makes sense
then you'll say something like, "i know he's old, but he doesn't have to act like it."
and this is where simon reveals that he also likes having quiet fishing trips mixed in with a bit of hunting
and you can't even really make fun of him for it because it just fits so well and you'll probably make a little comment saying something like that
and then he'll just casually sprinkle in the fact that his original plan was to have a small, private hunting trip as a way to relax and decompress from the hustle and bustle of life in the 141
this revelation causes a small pit to grow in your stomach and you can't help but feel bad as you let a small, "i'm sorry simon."
and look over at you with a perplexed stare as if to say, "for what??"
and you'll just kinda sink into your seat as you explain, "i didn't even think to ask if you had plans. i didn't mean to take you away from anything."
he holds himself back from rolling his eyes as he lets out a grunt before saying, "don't worry about it."
you just give him a small nod before looking out the window, still feeling bad having imposed on his original plans
and he knows you still feel bad so just sighs before speaking in his usual gruff tone, "look if ya really feel that bad, next time we'll just go back to my place and we can hunt then so stop your mopin'."
this little statement is more than enough to get you to snap your head back over to him with a look of shock present on your face as you speak out, "wait, what? you'd actually want me there?"
and with his eyes steady on the road he'll just bluntly say something like, "friends hang out. we're friends, aren't we?"
you can practically feel your heart just burst
you pay no mind to the dopey grin that makes its way onto your face as you perk up in your seat and quickly tell him, "pull over."
he looks over at you with an almost overwhelming amount of exasperation in his eyes, but still does so because it's you
once he finally pulls over on the side of the road, he'll look over to you and open his mouth to say something, but he can't even get out a single syllable before you're unbuckling your seatbelt and flinging yourself over the console and enveloping him in a bear hug
this man is just so, so confused by this point but he doesn't hesitate in returning your hug
after a few moments he'll just kinda ask, "why the hug?"
and with your arms still wrapped around him tight you'll respond, "you just said we're friends, this is a big moment."
if you thought his confusion in this moment was already bad, it just gets so much worse cause he's like, "no it's not? what are you talking about? are you ok??"
and you're determined to make him understand so you'll pull back enough to face him and you'll just say, "you've never said it out loud before."
but this poor man
he just doesn't get it so he'll just say something like, "i thought it was always obvious."
and this is probably where you realize he's not gonna get the significance of this moment any time soon so just roll your eyes with a smile before surging forward and burying your face in his shoulder
he goes to say something again but you're quick to interrupt him with a quick, "shut up and let me have my moment."
this time he does roll his eyes, but he still decides to comply with your wishes
he'll tighten his grip around you, one of his hands going up and down the curve of your back as you float on your cloud of happiness
you're just so grateful to have the honor of calling a man like simon your friend and even more grateful to have the privilege of having him return the sentiment
so what if he's a big, scary man?
he's your big, scary man
and you wouldn't change that for the world
neither of you would
:)

Pit Stop : A Made Me Love You extra
Rating: EXPLICIT 18+ MDNI
Pairing: Joel Miller x f reader x Tommy Miller
Word count: 1.3k
Summary: The Miller brothers and their girlfriend make a quick stop on their way home from vacation.
Warnings: SMUT! PIV, fingering, oral- M and F receiving, deep throating, throat fucking, throat bulge? Minor ass play, facial, creampie, girlfriend sharing, car sex, exhibitionism, DP, they go to Paris, not for the Olympics. idk what else.
A word from the author: I wrote this in a horny conniption and didn’t edit or proofread at all. It is what it is.
Masterlist Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3
Gravel pinged off the wheel wells and side panels of Tommy’s truck. He whipped it recklessly off the road, veered down the shoulder, and slammed to a stop on the dark, deserted road.
You were still too far from home. Too far to go and too hard to stop, he had to pull over. You were squished in the middle of the pickup truck’s front seat, and for hours you’d been teasing them. You giggled into his ear with your head on his shoulder while Joel played with your pussy inside the stretchy shorts you wore. You squeezed his thigh, raking your nails up and down the denim, making his vision tunnel with throbbing lust as his thick length swelled in his jeans. You stroked Joel’s thick cock as well, making a wet spot bloom where he leaked precum. You had forgone a bra, something both brothers had clocked as soon as you walked out of the motel lobby and climbed into the truck with an exaggerated bounce.
Joel took his hand from your shorts and shoves your tank top up to squeeze your bare breast and kisses your neck roughly. He reached around your hip and unbuckled your seatbelt. “Oh, you’re in for it now, sweetheart.”
Tommy didn’t bother to turn off the engine. He jumped from his seat and pulled you across the bench seat by your arms, letting your head dangle backwards from the edge. He kissed you, sloppy and wet. He kissed down your neck and up your chest, then shoved your tank top down below your tits. He scooped them in this big hands and sucked hungrily at your nipples, pushing them together and turning his head to switch between them.
Joel stood at the other side of the truck and tugged your shorts down. He shimmied them down your hips and legs, tossing them onto the dashboard along with your thoroughly soaked scrap of a thong. You gasped and squirmed beneath Tommy, trapping his dark, wild curls with both hands as Joel pushed your knees up and out as far as he could in the cramped cab of the pickup. He had you fully exposed, wet, swollen, and dripping onto the scratchy seat cover. He held your legs open and licked you from your asshole to your clit, dipping his tongue into the tighter hole and your clenching entrance, then sucking hard on your clit while you could do nothing but whine and take what the brothers gave you.
Tommy let go of one of your tits to unbuckle his belt and open his jeans. You rolled your eyes back as far as you could to watch him fist his hard cock, and reached to wrap your own hand around him.
“You want it baby? So fuckin horny all the time. You couldn’t even let me drive without needin’ some dick. You want to suck it, don’t ya?”
You nodded and stroked him. “Yeah, baby. Please. Let me.”
Tommy groaned. “You hear that, Joel? She’s begging to suck cock.”
Joel hummed against your throbbing cunt, breaking away only to answer quickly. “I never seen such a needy little pussy,” he licked you again “so fuckin’ wet.” You loved the way they talked about you, like you were just holes for them to stuff, to worship.
“Open up, baby. Let me in that mouth,” Tommy tapped your cheek, and rubbed the hot tip of his cock against your bottom lip. You opened wide, not caring that blood was rushing to your head. You wanted to feel him fuck your throat. He started slow, careful not to gag you just yet. He let you suck him, hands busy cradling his heavy balls and circling the base of his cock.
He gradually pushed in deeper, letting you relax your throat to accommodate him. He took your hands and put them on your tits, making you play with them while one of his hands was gently at your throat, feeling the
Way his cock bulged through the delicate skin, and the other on the door jamb to steady himself, one boot planted on the running board for leverage to fuck your throat, and the other in the dusty roadside gravel.
As Tommy filled your throat, Joel filled your pussy with two thick fingers. He thrust roughly, angled upward to stretch you deliciously and tease that certain spot inside while he sucked and slurped your clit. The sounds filling the night air were a symphony of wet gurgling and gushing sounds. Joel found himself sighing he had a video camera for not the first time this week.
You felt like your body was on fire, heat licking at your core, brain buzzing from not quite enough oxygen, Joel was there to press his wide hand down on your mound when you climbed toward your orgasm. The counterweight and the heat of his hand pushed you to your limit. You came hard, squeezing Joels fingers in your tight pussy, rapturous moans of pleasure vibrating up Tommy’s length.
“Fuck baby. Oh you love getting filled all the way up, don’t ya? I can feel it.” Tommy was in awe, of course he was an exhibitionist at his core, but sharing you, his little nympho, as he has taken to calling you, was a new level of erotic. He wanted to come, and he wanted this to last forever.
Joel eased you down from your orgasm. Your clit was twitching against his thumb as he caressed your folds slowly. The more he lapped at your wetness, the more there was. The scent of your arousal made his mouth water. He sucked it from his fingers and plunged them back in, gathering more to taste as he took his cock out.
It was awkward to climb up onto the bench with you, but Joel folded with broad body over you, bracing one arm on the back of the seat and used the other to smack his neglected cock against your sensitive cunt. You whined, muffled by his brothers cock, and chased his touch with your hips. Joel liked the sticky wet feeling, loved making you make those sounds. He was a greedy man.
“You really want filled up? You’re gonna get filled, sugar. Gonna have this pussy stuffed. Won’t even be able to cry cause you got a cock in your mouth.”
Joel notched at your entrance and drove his turgid length in in one go. You weren’t sure how you were still breathing. How was there room for air in your body now?
Under the yellow dome light, to the tune of some Texas country station, you let your boyfriends fuck you together across thre truck seat. Anyone could have driven by and you didn’t care. Joel rolled your clit under his thumb and Tommy told you what a good girl you were, how they loved you, how you drove them so crazy. You came again, and this time as you went over the edge, Tommy came with you. He pulled out and spurted over your cheek and chest, all three of you panting and groaning.
While Tommy kissed you, Joel pounded you harder, determined to bury his cum deep inside you. “You want this come? Huh? You gonna take it, nasty little girl taking two loads. Fuck. Fuck! He gritted his teeth and ground into you with his weight when he came, just like he promised.
Napkins were taken from the glovebox to clean the cum off your face and wipe up what was already leaking from your ruined pussy. Tommy kissed you again, while Joel squeezed your hips and kissed your belly. You all redressed in a daze.
When Tommy pulled the truck back onto the empty road, the windows were down, and the radio played softly. Tommy’s arm was around you and you held Joel’s hand. He only let it go to reach across the dash to retrieve the panties you’d opted to leave off and hang them from the rear view mirror, and taking your hand so you couldn’t pull them down.

Please do one where Y/n get extremely hurt while tornado chasing and Tyler is protecting her and treating her wounds
combined with this request: or mb an established relationship n they go tornado chasing n she gets hurt and he has to help her before they both die (like how Kate helped own after the thing fell on him and they had to run to the cinema) by @inloveallthetime
warnings; mention of blood, not edited.
—
the storm is getting closer and closer with each second. “y/n, get in the damn truck!” your boyfriend, tyler owens, tells, hitting the hood of his red pickup.
you shake your head stubbornly, “we have to get closer, we’re gonna miss our chance,” you speak, looking up at the storm. debris is flying everywhere, branches nearly missing your head. you decide to run closer, however you’re quickly pushed back by a gust of wind, and you land on your back.
tyler runs towards you, his voice laced with worry, “y/n!” he screams, not getting to you before a large piece of scrap metal flys by and scrapes your leg.
“tyler, it’s- shit it’s getting closer,” you voice, he doesn’t speak, his nerves racing as fast as yours. he picks you up, sprinting to the car. in a rush, he opens the passenger side door, putting you inside and shutting it. he goes over to the driver side, forfeiting the seatbelt, and practically stomps on the gas pedal.
it takes a few minutes, but eventually you get away from the storm and back to the road. “ty, i’m sorry,” you mumble, your hand putting pressure on your bloody leg. he only shakes his head in response and keeps driving. the drive back to the motel is a long one. he doesn’t speak all the way home, but you notice him glancing at your wound every couple seconds.
finally, you pull into the motel’s parking lot. tyler opens his door and walks over to yours. he opens it, offering you his hand. you gladly accept, limping out of the car. he lets out a frustrated huff, lifting you up once more. with more struggle than he’s willing to admit, he gets the door unlocked and gets you inside the room and on top of the bed before shutting it.
he stands there for a moment, just looking at you with a look of disappointment and frustration. he then moves into the bathroom to grab a first aid kit. “i need your jeans off,” he mumbles. normally, one of you would make a suggestive joke, but now, neither of you say anything. you just stand up on one leg, unbuttoning your jeans and pulling them down. tyler pushes you back down softly, “i’ve got it, you’re alright.” he pulls them down the rest of the way.
he wets a cotton ball with some rubbing alcohol, giving you fair warning, “it’s gonna hurt, baby.” it’s mumbled, but still there. it lets you know that even though he’s upset, you’re still his girlfriend and he loves you. he gently presses it against the wound, lifting up each time he moves further down.
your boyfriend finished within a few moments, he wraps a bandage around the wound that stretches from your upper thigh to just above your knee. “it isn’t deep enough to need stitches, but it’s definitely gonna be rough to put weight on for a few days.”
you nod slowly, mumbling a thanks. your nervous for what’s to come. you know he’s upset and you don’t want to press anything, so you just grab your bag that was luckily already close to the bed and slip some shorts on. he slips into the bathroom wordlessly and you hear the water turn on.
tyler spends only about a half hour in the shower. you spend that time on the bed, scrolling mindlessly through your phone. when he gets out, he turns the lamp beside your bed on and shuts the big light off. “i’m sorry,” you mumble, looking up at him.
his anger seemed to subside with the shower, which was really the whole point of it. “i don’t tell you what to do for no reason, sweetheart. it’s to protect you, and when you don’t do that, you can get hurt.”
you nod your head slowly, “i know, ty. i just-” you start, your voice shaky. “the closer we get the more likely we are to see where it’s going and we can get people safe.”
your boyfriend scoffs, frustrated, “you don’t get to put other people’s safety above your own, y/n!” he shouts.
your taken aback at his tone, “i know that, tyler!” you stand, quickly wincing and sitting back down when a sharp pain shoot’s up your leg.
he moves to sit next to you, grabbing your hand to keep you from jolting up again, “i don’t want you to think i don’t trust you, darlin’. you just..” he trails off when he sees one of your tears fall. moving his hands to gently pad away your tears, he continues, “you’re new at this. i know you can handle yourself, but you can’t be so reckless all the time. okay? i can’t lose you.” he speaks genuinely, his fingers gently rubbing against the bandage on your thigh.
you sniff quietly, “i’m really sorry. you’re right, i just wanna help people.”
he lets out a chuckle, “i know that, sweetheart. and we do what we can, we just… we can’t save them all,” he smiles, “that’s my favorite thing about you.”
“i’m really sorry, ty. i promise i’ll listen from now on.”
tyler nods, “i know you will. and i’m not just saying all this to be mean, but you got hurt today. it could have been a lot worse and it would have been avoided if you had just gotten into the car,” he starts his hand drawing patterns against your skin, “i appreciate you saying you’ll listen from now on. i know what i’m doin’, darlin’.”
you smile, “i know you do. thank you for trying to protect me. sorry for scaring you.”
he returns your smile, “don’t be sorry, let’s just try not to give me another heart attack?” when you nod he continues, “and i’ll always protect you, sweetheart. it’s in my job description.”

All Farms…
Javier Peña
Summary: Javier has to decide what to do with the ranch
Warnings/Tags: grief, loss, hurt (no comfort?), ranch/farm used interchangeably here.
Notes: I started this on Christmas after walking my grandparents farm which happens to be the same farm I lived on for the first 7 years of my life. My grandparents are getting older which has sparked a lot of conversation with what will happen to the farm when they're gone. Fast forward to now, I'm currently processing a lot of feelings this Easter weekend. I lost my step dad last year. He was a farmer too. After his cancer diagnosis, all of us kids (there are ALOT of us) came home for Easter. It was the last time I saw him look like himself and the last time we were all together before he died. In my processing, I started working on this piece again. It's one of those things I need to put out into the world for me. I hope for anyone else going through something similar, it brings you comfort or makes you feel not quite so alone.
Peep the cow picture. I took that one myself at Christmas :)
Words: 966
Author Master List
All farms have a graveyard. One of lost memories and stories. Typically along a ridge or tree line, piled-up equipment that was never sold or broken beyond repair sits in overgrown piles and sunken earth. The old family car. The beat-up sports car or pickup truck each son or sometimes daughter inevitably thought they could fix only to spend hundreds of fruitless hours with one glory ride before it went haywire. Scrap metal torn from barn roofs pile up. Every tire imaginable is half buried in the earth. No farmer dares to clean out the graveyard. The moment you do, you’ll find use or need for the items thrown out.
The Peńa’s graveyard sits between scattered trees at the bottom of the hill. Javier rarely makes his way to that side of the farm. They don’t use that space for cattle since his dad downsized the herd. He pretends there’s no reason for it, but it’s more than just broken down cars and scrap piles to Javier. It’s a ghost town of memories.
There’s his mom’s ‘62 Ford. The one she drove his whole childhood. The vehicle that took them across town, to Sunday services, and hosted their many road trips. It’s where his Mom feels most tangible, her soft voice playing in his head singing to the radio.
His first truck. The one he’d spent months fixing up, he kissed Sally Jones on a Saturday night and done much more with Vanessa Reyes. He’s proposed to Lorraine in that truck, driven past the church in it too.
Chucho’s first American Harvester sits further back. His dad is so proud of that machine… or he was.
The ache grows in Javier’s chest as he stands at the edge of the graveyard. He begged Chucho for years to clean this up. His dad always waved him off, stating that he would get to it someday. Except, Chucho didn’t make it to someday, and now it is Javier’s responsibility.
His fingers twitch, desperate for the feel of a cigarette between them. Nicorette gum sits in his breast pocket instead. He’s working to quit again, picking the worst damn time to do it, but that’s life.
He should probably bring the tractor down to pull everything out. It’s overwhelming with no good place to start. Digging around down there will only dig up the memories. Javier can’t deal with the memories right now, so he leaves the project for another day. He only needs to clean it up if he decides to sell the ranch.
The house is quiet when he walks through the door. Javier is used to the subtle sounds of life- the coffee pot going, the tv running on low, Chucho’s boots on the linoleum, but it never comes. It won’t ever come again.
Javier kicks off his boots, lining them right next to his dad’s. He hasn’t moved them. He’s not sure he will.
He heads for the back of the house toward his room but stops at his Dad’s door. It’s shut tight as he places a hand on the wood. Javier hasn’t gone in there since picking out clothes. It’s a strange thing to pick out clothes for a dead man. How does one pick out what someone will wear for the rest of eternity?
His hand lands on the knob, and it gives way with a squeak. The same squeak that used to echo down the hall, waking Javier up before the sun to let him know it was time for chores. Javier is flooded with the comforting scent of his father. It envelopes him, pulling tears into his eyes immediately. The bed is fixed just as Chucho had left it before he went out and started the chores just as he always did. Except that day, almost a month ago now, Chucho Peña didn’t return to the house.
He collapsed in the field. He was already gone when Javier found him. He died alone and that hurt almost as much as the fact that he was gone.
A thin layer of dust covers the surfaces in the room. He should clean it, but would it lose its smell then? In here, Javier feels surrounded by his father. The closest he can get to him. His room, the one he shared with Javier’s mother, is perfectly preserved.
Javier dares to ease onto the bed and look at the world from Chucho’s perspective every day as he woke up. On the dresser, there’s a photo of his parents when they first started dating, and one from Javier’s high school graduation. On the bedside table, there’s a book with a bookmark halfway through, a picture from his parent’s wedding day, and another of Chucho on the tractor with Javier in his lap. He couldn’t have been older than two at the time. Javier traces it with his finger, wishes he could remember that moment, wishes he could go back in time and relive it all, even the bad days, and treasure it all, ask his dad more questions, called him more often.
Javier lays down on his parents' bed. Chucho’s scent is thicker here with Javier’s head on his pillow. Big, hot tears fall from the corners of his eyes dampening the pillow. He rests his hands over his chest, letting his eyes close. Javier can hear his voice now, his laughter, catches a hint of his mother’s as well. It’s Javier’s job to carry on their legacy.
All farms have a graveyard. One of lost memories and stories. No farmer dares to clean out the graveyard. When a tractor kicks the dust or that farm use pickup can only be stripped for parts, Javier follows in his father’s footsteps. He lays them to rest between scattered trees at the bottom of the hill.

Just because a twitter chat got me thinking that as hilarious as Crowley is in the pub scene, it's funnier to think Aziraphale would truly be the jealous one. Crowley is more amused by humans trying to chat him or the angel up, what does he care, what, after 6000 years one of them is suddenly going to fall for a bad pickup line or a free drink? Aziraphale just has a possessive side and if he were the one to catch someone in his seat at the bar, I can just hear him in that ice-cold voice he can get:
“I beg your pardon, you appear to be in my seat.”
Crowley glanced up at him and his visible amusement did not soothe any of Aziraphale's irritation. “Hey, angel, this is Roy. He’s—“
“Mm, yes, I’m sure he is. My seat, please.”
The urge to miracle a catastrophic failure to the integrity of Roy’s Pilsner glass was itching at Aziraphale’s fingertips. He was almost disappointed when he showed an unexpected good sense and stood up, drink in hand. “Well. It was lovely chatting.”
Crowley gave him a wide smile with an unnecessary amount of teeth. “Right. Anytime.”
Aziraphale stared at Roy with half-closed eyes and a tight-lipped smile that said anytime should be as close to never as humanly possible.
In a show of remarkably poor survival instinct, Roy gestured to the table as he stood at a scrap of paper Aziraphale hadn’t noticed as his full attention had been on glaring at their uninvited guest. “You’ve got my number. Give us a call, anytime.”
Perhaps it was the increase in heat of Aziraphale’s stare that had Roy making a hasty retreat. Aziraphale stalked to his side of the table and sat in his, HIS chair with enough force that the wood groaned ominously.
Crowley propped his chin on one hand, a truly unholy amount of glee visible in his eyes even through the dark tint of his glasses. “Happy now, angel?”
“Not as much as you,” Aziraphale hissed. He took a sullen sip of his drink, hardly able to appreciate the crisp dryness of the sherry.
The way Crowley pressed a hand to his chest in a mocking gesture of offense did nothing to improve his mood. Honestly, what had started as a lovely outing had quickly became a rather unpleasant affair. He was tempted to simply leave in a huff and realized unhappily that he wasn’t entirely certain Crowley would follow him. He might stay just to be contrary, leave Aziraphale waiting by the car while he sat and finished his drink and perhaps someone, perhaps that Roy would come back and sit himself across from Crowley again and—
“Angel.” That single word broke through his wildly spiraling thoughts. There was amusement, yes, but also a certain well-known and well-loved tenderness couched in that single word that had always held more weight than a simple description. “I’d bet you’ve no idea how gorgeous you are when you’re terribly jealous.”
“I’m not…I would never…” Aziraphale sputtered. He gulped down the rest of his drink, terribly uncouth, but it was the only way to cover his floundering. After a hasty gathering of his thoughts, he set his glass firmly down and said with equal firmness, “I was not jealous, I was simply irritated at that terrible person’s manners.”
“Irritated.” Crowley repeated, one side of his mouth rising, widening his smirk.
“Yes,” Aziraphale agreed stoutly. “I was not jealous. Jealousy implies that I don’t trust you and I like to think I’ve been successful in establishing otherwise. I trust you and I have done for some time now, there is no reason or excuse for any jealousy.”
The amusement coloring Crowley’s expression began softening before Aziraphale was halfway through his little speech and by the time he was finished, it was fully transformed to fondness and. And love, Aziraphale could call it that now, if he wanted. He could, he was allowed, there was no one who could stop him.
“Not a doubt in my mind that you trust me,” Crowley said simply. That tight little knot that had formed in Aziraphale’s chest the very moment he’d seen that man in his seat unraveled, easing an ache he’d hardly realized was there. “The rest of the world, now,” Crowley continued, tossing back the last of his drink, “That lot can’t be trusted in the slightest.”
Aziraphale didn’t think Crowley was entirely right about that but a glance around the pub revealed entirely too many looks being sent Crowley’s way and also a somewhat astonishing, and disconcerting, amount being cast his as well.
Crowley shifted in his seat, preparing to stand, “Another drink, angel?”
“No!” Aziraphale blurted and snatched hold of Crowley’s hand. They weren’t quite accustomed to such gestures yet, enough that he could feel Crowley’s surprise in his grip, and also his pleasure. “No. Not yet. Please. Let’s just sit for a while, can we?”
Silly, really, he could use a miracle to keep Crowley’s chair empty while he was at the bar. But he knew full well it wouldn’t stop a very determined human and simply the thought of another person trying to toss their hat into his and Crowley’s very private ring made him feel cross.
The hand in his own, cool and soft, despite his demonic nature Crowley always felt soothingly cool, tightened, fingers lacing between his own.
“Anything you want, angel.” A thumb skirted over Aziraphale’s knuckles, back and forth, and he didn’t bother holding back his pleased sigh. “Anything at all.”
No one noticed a tiny scrap of paper in the middle of their table igniting and turning to a curl of ash, and even if they had, not a one of them would have known it wasn't the demon's doing.

Daring advices/best pick up lines???
- 🦝
DATING ADVICE 🔥🔥🔥
First date idea is always GET FOOD TOGETHER. If it's too awkward you can part ways after dinner and never talk again. ALSO HOW SOMEONE TREATS STAFF SAYS A LOT ABOUT THEM.
The best kind of date is one where you do a SHARED HOBBY. The second best is where you do something NEITHER of you has ever done before AND IF YOU SUCK AT IT THEN YOU KNOW HOW COMFORTING THEY ARE 🔥🔥🔥 PAY ATTENTION TO SOMEONES PERSONALITY
Pick up lines NEVER work the first time only use them repeatedly to fluster someone already showing signs of being into you
BRING FLOWERS TO THE FIRST DATE it's nice and seems sweet HOWEVER give them a chance to take the flowers to their car before the date
DO NOT STARE AT THEIR BODY DURING THE DATE. BE POLITE. BE CONTROLLED. BE NORMAL FOR FUCK'S SAKE.
Everybody has a favorite hobby or food or color or gift or animal or something you could give them to make them happy. Stuffed plush of a cute dog makes a good gift.
Don't just give gifts for special occasions!!! GIVE GIFTS BECAUSE YOU CARE!!!
Always ask as many questions as you answer on the date. If you're asked about work, ask about theirs. If they bring up your shirt, ask if they have a favorite pet or something!!! ASK!!! You need this information for future gift and date ideas and for DAYDREAMING ABOUT YOUR AMAZING PARTNER(S) 🔥🔥🔥
Favorite pickup lines? E-z:
I think I need a bandage - I scrapped my knees falling for you.
Are you a safety violation? Because you have "fine" written all over you!
You look like a record keeping report - can I slam you down on my desk and do you all night long?
Do you know CPR? Because you just took my breath away.
Whoa, you're dangerously cute! A proper railing might help with that.

Leading Thieves Say Millennials and Zoomers "Ruining the Crime Industry"
A variety of criminals have spoken out over the past few weeks, saying that crime just doesn't pay like it used to because Millennials and Gen-Z-ers are so broke, they have nothing of value to steal.
Stephen "Fingers" Gilligan, Pickpocket: Pickpocketing has been on the decline in America for a while, but it's getting ridiculous now. Nobody carries cash anymore, and even cards aren't paying out. The other day I stole a wallet with five debit cards, and all but one of them declined. The last one had just enough to buy a Sierra Mist from a vending machine. That was my second best score all week. The best was a $40 Olive Garden gift card and a crumpled, discolored $5 bill that I had to use archeological techniques to retrieve without it disintegrating in my hand.
Burt Crustman, Mugger: Man, nobody walks through dark alleys at night since the pandemic hit, and when they do? Jackshit. The only valuable anyone under 40's got on them these days is their phone. Admittedly lotsa people have $3000 phones, but you know what the market for fencing iPhones is like? It's shit! Everybody's buying new phones because their phone's the only nice thing they can afford!
Monty Derailleur, Bike Thief: Well the bike theft business would be going good, if people ever used the bikes they bought. The sales are high, but the fact of the matter is, the bike lanes around here are shitty or nonexistent, there's no room to take them on the bus, and there's no bike racks so everybody knows it's gonna get stolen.
Jerry Rigby, Car Thief: I don't know what you're talking about, Grand Theft Auto is booming. There's $75,000 pickups, $60,000 SUVs, $100,000 Teslas, and most people can't even afford to buy a used car legally so fencing's never been easier. The reason it's hard for those of us in the business is twofold. First, too many people living out of their cars. Second, the competition. You see a nice car parked somewhere, you gotta be on it like that, or the fucking illegal towing rackets will beat you to it. It's nearly impossible to make a living as an independent car thief.
Dwayne Pipe, Burglar: The only reason to be breaking and entering in the post-Pandemic years if to use somebody's shower. I swear to god, half the time when I break into a place, the only furniture is a mattress on the floor and a mid-sized computer monitor as a TV, and those are only good for scrap because with planned obsolescence the way it is, they have a life expectancy of about 6 weeks after theft. To be honest with you, I'm running a loss on most jobs. The only reason I haven't gone straight is because all the legal jobs pay jackshit too. That, and I really like replacing people's family photos with pictures of Nicholas Cage.
Brittlyghn McKannyck, Shoplifter: Shoplifting these days is a hobby, not a career. Half the time the stores are too understaffed to even stock the shelves, and if they're not, everything's locked up. I had to get a guy to unlock a magnetic tag on a box of Crispix the other day. If I didn't live with my parents, there's absolutely no way shoplifting full time would be viable.
Norman Gore, Master Hacker and Identity Thief: Scamming people out of their financial info or cracking passwords has never been easier, but the scores just aren't worth it. I keep getting into bank accounts that pending overdraft fees. It's pathetic. I have to leave the lights off so my hacker den's only lit by the monitors, and type on three or four keyboards at once to hack enough people to make ends meet.
Jack Gazebo, Digital Pirate: Oh my fucking God, people, stop paying for streaming! Learn to torrent! I'm telling you, man, this generation just doesn't have the technological literacy to pirate media.
Captain Tom Stillcutt, Analog Pirate: Let me tell ye something, matey, it be a sad day for piracy. No more galleons laden low with gold doubloons, rum, and exotic spices, nay, it be all scurvy container ships full o' mass produced plastic now. Me last prize was a forty foot container loaded full of over a hundred thousand Funko Pops, en route from the East Indies. The worst part of it was as the cap'n I gets a double share o' the booty, whether I want it or not. I've been makin' one walk the plank every day, and my cabin's still full of the blasted things. Shiver my timbers, I hate these damned Zoomers! At least the ones in me crew are happy.
Geraldo Cardamom IV, Gentleman Thief: The economy's just horrible for heists these days. Art heists? Jewelry theft? All the rich idiots are blowing their money on crypto, NFTs, and custom furniture from hipster woodworking YouTubers. Nobody just has a gallery in their house with priceless antiques in glass cases below a conveniently placed skylight, or millions of dollars in cash and gold bullion in vaults behind secret doors with seven different elaborate locking mechanisms anymore. Nobody secures their valuables with networks of criss crossing laser motion sensors. The only guys with that kind of money are assholes like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, and they don't have the sense of style for that. They just hire a bunch of assholes with guns.
Carmen San Diego, Legend: You must be joking, right? The reason I retired is because the infrastructure in this country is so dilapidated it's impossible to move it without it disintegrating. My last heist was "stealing" the World's Largest Pothole in Lansing, Michigan. I lifted the entire six lane wide, fifteen foot deep pothole out of the ground, disassembled it, and shipped it across the country to a warehouse in Las Vegas, then filled in the hole with pristine asphalt so it looked like it was never there. Nobody investigated. Nobody came after me. The city threw a parade in my honor. It didn't even take a month before my record holding pothole was dethroned by one in Cleveland, leaving me with nothing but a bunch of dirt, crumbling asphalt, and broken dreams. That's when I realized it was time to call it quits. Well, maybe the Bass Pro Shops Pyramid, but it already looks stupid enough in the middle of Tennessee that the only way stealing it would be funny is if I put it in the original Memphis.

Seven snippets seven people XI
Thanks for the tag @autumnalwalker! Here's some Bent Nails or Something for you!
1.
“Don’t you want to explore the place we’re going to be living for the next few months? I know I’m dying to see the garage.”
Sutton couldn’t help it; she laughed. “The garage, Mom, really?”
Mom smiled, wide. “Yes. Don’t you think you can learn a lot about a man from how he keeps his garage?”
“Um, sure,” Sutton said, accepting the toast offered to her. “I think the first thing we should establish is whether he has cameras in it.”
2.
Michael finished his popsicle and tucked the stick in his pocket. “I have work to do.”
“Yeah, no shit.” [Sutton said.]
“I thought we agreed to peacefully coexist for the benefit of the rest of the household,” he said sternly. “I thought you were going to leave me alone.”
3.
She could picture the headlines—did this town have a newspaper? It seemed respectable enough—Newcomer lands herself in juvie after smashing up the city policeman’s only car. Except it wasn’t a police car, thank heavens. It was a pickup truck, like the one Michael drove around, only gray and a little less dusty and old.
4.
Behind him, Jacob and Sutton were lifting the scrap into a large gray trashcan. The floor was covered in sawdust and plaster. The kitchen already looked better than it had before. Not that Michael was going to voice that.
He was going to do the work, make sure Sutton could hold a hammer properly, keep her from getting murdered and stuffed in a tree, and get the hell home to take a hot shower.
Angela and Nick had better be grateful.
5.
Sutton led the way back to the truck, leaping across the driveway and once, stretching up to catch a firefly.
“Aren’t you tired?” Michael finally asked.
“Yeah,” she said. “But mostly, I just feel good.”
6.
“What’s that on your hand?” Angela asked, handing him a water glass and touching his wrist. The phone number Jacob left behind in damning black ink stared back at them.
Well, shit, Michael thought. He said, “Phone number.”
7.
Sutton left her sandals on the floor and after a moment’s thought, her shirt too, leaving her in a sports bra and shorts, waiting.
“Tally ho!” Jacob hollered and took a flying leap off the porch.
@late-to-the-fandom @catchingbigfish @lavender-laney @aziz-reads @rydykg
@eccaiia @space-writes and anyone else who'd like to share <3

🚂 In need of some cool engines for TTTE OCs? Look no further! 🚃
Here's a list of all sorts of unusual and little known engines to make into your next OCs!
1082 class electric locomotive: Not much is known about this engine, so information is fragmented. This Austrain steam engine was powered by electricity heating up the water in its boiler through electric coils. The hydroelectric system was apparently 50 years ahead of it time and was built in response to the rising prices of imported German Coal during WW2. This engine and ones like it Sweden, were scrapped after the war ended. I'll never understand why. Such a self sufficient engine could have been the key to many break throughs.
2. DRG Class 05: This German streamlined engine was made in response of record breaking streamlined diesel engines made earlier. In 1936, this engine set the world speed record for reaching 124.5 mph, while hauling 217 short tons. However this record was later beaten by Mallard, (Yes, that Mallard. The LNER Gresley one.) on a technicality. Mallard was on a slightly downhill line, and with a heavier train. Interpret that as you will. If you want Gresley family drama, I have a feeling this engine would make a great OC to start it.
3. B&O #305 Camel: This unique engine was trademarked by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in the 1900s. It's unusual build allowed to pull trains up steep mountains. This build also came with a terrible flaw. Since the cab was placed directly above the boiler, it became very hot and anyone in it would not only be uncomfortable, but in terrible danger if if the engine ever derailed. And there was very little protection for the crew. In short, it was like an overbred dog. Created purely for one purpose, and not with health or safety in mind. More information can be found at the B&O website.
4. The Rail Pickup Truck??? (GMC Switch Engine): Well, if you need a Fankid that's a cross between a steam engine and a pickup, I've got you covered! Haha! Not much information on these, except that they were used during WW2 and were modified for rail use.
5. Ateliers Moës-Freres Diesel: This little guy is absolutely adorable! He'd definitely make an cute OC! This engine one of many diesels built by the popular Belgian company Ateliers Moës-Freres. They're were know for making exceptional small diesel engines. Even ones that looked like steam engines! Unfortunately, I couldn't any information on what exactly this engine's name is. But if anyone does know, please contact me so I may add it!
6. M-497 (Nicknamed Black Beetle by the press): This futuristic engine was once the fastest engine in North America! It was an experiment, developed by the New York Central Railway. Two J47-19 Jet Engines were attached to a streamlined Budd Rail Diesel Car. The experiment was successful, with the engine reaching a speed of 183.68 mph. Despite the successful run and the valuable data gathered, the project was considered to quote "not considered viable commercially". Black Beetle continued to run after the jet engines were removed, until retirement in 1977 and being scrapped in 1984.
And that's it for now! If you guys like these OC ideas, make sure to let me know, so I can make another one! Also, it's important to note, that I am not an expert on engines. If you see any misinformation here, please let me know, so I can correct it.
Thanks for reading!

might be a bit of a boring question but how do you feel about the Mazda b series? and if you have nothing to say about that one then I'd love to hear your thoughts on the tacoma
So thoughtful of you to give me a backup question, but worry not! If I've got nothing to say about a car, I will find it, goddamnit, if it'll take me two months! Which it very nearly did. Sorry. Anyhow! In reverse order of generations:
1. 5th
it would take state-backed effort to get me to care for -hell, care about- this last one, which did not excel in looks nor performance nor, from what I can tell, reliability nor comfort. It feels like it would be a very complex thought experiment to come up with the buyer this would be the best choice for, even in its time. (However, while the enthusiasts' metric of evaluation is competition, the owners' metric is their own expectations, so it is certain and valid and good that millions of owners were chuffed about their purchase and I love that for them and do not whatsoever seek to rain on their parade.)
2. 4th
Neat! Even beyond the spectacular decals, I just love Japanese pickups of this era (the ones yankees call "small pickups" and we call "pickups" because we don't have those useless fuck-off-gargantuan shit yankees love to pretend has any use). So much so that I want two of them. Neither are this (they're the Toyota Hilux and the Nissan D21), but objectively they're all about the same and my preferences are purely based on aesthetic minutiae.
3. 3rd
First I see of it! The front is kind of unfortunate, but it reminds me of the Yugo so it's on my good side. The rear taillights also have a kind of Soviet quality to them, I'm sure there's some -az car with rear lights just like those.
4. 2nd
HELL FUCKING YEAH *checks pronouns* SISTER! I love this thing. Especially the REPU, where PU stands for Pick Up and RE stands for...
Yep :D, this was the time when Mazda was shoving rotaries left and right into applications they were comically unsuited for absolutely no discernible reason, and we're all glad that they did, because Lord knows no one else had the lack of sense to do it.
Yes the ROTARY POWER* on the back of it is factory! *BITCHES
5. 1st
Yeah, this is at the edge of car period that excites me. Not that I think it looks bad or is bad or anything, it just starts to feel too... historic for me to connect to? I guess a Mazda pickup from the early '60s is just not for me.
It seems I guessed wrong.
This Ghibli-esque little thing is the 1959 Mazda K360, being a kei truck with the then maximum of 360cc of engine. It was a popular taxi (taxi!) in Myanmar...
...where it kept being produced until the early '70s, when it got replaced by the other other truck Mazda was making by the early '60s, the B360.
Wow I really was wrong there huh.
These were probably a sort of "Eastern Europe getting Fiat's scraps" kind of deal, since while these were manufactured in Myanmar from '72 to the mid-90s (mid-90s!), by 1972 Japan had already long been getting the B360's replacement i.e. the Mazda Porter, which OOOO0000°°°°°ººººº⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰ my GOOOOOODDDD
OMGOMGOMG THIS IS THE CUTEST THING IN THE WORLD
I don't even want to own one of these, I want to cuddle it. I want to protect it.
OMG THIS ONE HAS TINY LITTLE HAYASHIS WITH TINY LITTLE LETTERING ON ITS TINY LITTLE TIRES
*faints* *a feeble, wiggly speech bubble appears from below the table* Tacoma's good btw. Best of segment by miles.
Links in blue are posts of mine about the topic in question: if you liked this post, you might like those - or the blog’s Discord server, linked in the pinned post!
