rory knew that their story wasn’t one of true love— she understood that. but she also knew that one day they would have to marry, and over time, she had grown fond of him. she had hoped the same was true of his feelings, but now she feels like a fool. anger, sadness, and confusion swirl within her. she wouldn’t say she was in love, but she had grown to care for him deeply, and there are only so many excuses she can make to her father on his behalf. now, what is she supposed to do?

“do your parents know?” she asks, her voice steady, even though she feels anything but. she doesn't dare tell him how she really feels, because she knows she might cry, and she is not about to cry in front of him.

☆ Hiiiii. I'm trying to brush up on my writing after being out of the game for a while. I'm 21+, and require my partners to be the same. Especially as I tend to dabble into sexual themes. But if expressed, we don't have to write nsfw! I prefer my partners to be on semi-regularly, and reply at least once a week as I hold myself to the same standard. ☆

I consider myself semi-literate and use discord exclusively. I can go above the 2000 word limit sometimes but I can also adjust to my partners writing and do quick fire. I write in third person only. I’ve been craving to write dark(er) themes and just generally craving to obsess over characters again. I’m happy to double up and we can discuss more pairings further. I’m not that fussy. I am not ghost friendly so if you’re the type to ghost please do not interact however I understand life gets busy, I will always let you know if I'm busy/can’t respond so please do the same. I love ooc chats, sharing TikToks, posts pictures that remind me of the storyline or characters. Or just even day to day life.

I'm craving Thomas Shelby to be paired with my sunshine female OC, I have a storyline in mind, but I'm open to every and anything when it comes to his character.

Also craving some Oppie!Cillian storylines. I have a few female oc's that I could see him paired with, as well as my sunshine female oc. Like this and I'll reach out to you :)

Open Starter

Seamus Murphy - 25, homosexual, retail worker

Written solely in beta editor

Connection Vibe - Wife or GF or partner or S/O of someone he's had sex with (background up to you!)

++

“And this is my problem, why?” 

In spite of the question, Seamus knew exactly why the woman before him had sought him out. Indeed, it had only been a few days since Seamus had fucked her significant other six ways to Sunday. It wasn’t the first time that Seamus had screwed a needy taken man, but so far none of the wives or girlfriends had sought him out till that day. Standing in the middle of a busy gym, Seamus was aware of the eyes upon them, but he cared little for attention, only that his workout had been interrupted. 

He took a swig of water and said, “Look, sweetheart. You might wanna call me every name under the sun right now, but it takes two to tango. Your dear, sweet, probably soon to be ex came looking for me. Honestly, I haven’t encountered someone so desperate for dick in such a long time.” 

Not finished even then, Seamus took another swig of water and continued. “Besides, haven’t I done you a favour? Either you use this to ditch him and come out as the injured party everyone sympathises with, or you now know the truth, and it’s better to know that, right?” By all rights, one should’ve stopped talking, but Seamus never saw fit to censor his mouth, leading him to finally add, “Or, ya know, you could just buy a strap to use on him.”

Sooo since niche media combos have once again filled my head today... what if the NKotR and friends had builds as Zombicide survivors?

To explain as survivors kill zombies they build Adrenaline Points (AP) that let them unlock more skills. These are split into 4 colors: blue is their starting skill, yellow always gives +1 action, and orange and red which you can only pick one each of at a time (example below)

+1 Action

Lucky - Can reroll for any failed action

+1 to dice roll: Combat

Tactician - Can take turn at any order within the player phase

+1 die: Ranged

Kevin

Mitch's and Wendy's builds focus on ranged combat while Max is all melee, and the others fall somewhere in between. Ryan is set up so you can take him in either direction. Wendy and Kevin might also be good at covering a lot of ground to act as support

"You've got to be kidding me, Mary Colleen!"

The pointed look from the older brunette told her younger mirror image it was best to back peddle and apologize for calling her anything but Mom.

"It's Mom! You didn't birth her or procreate with her so don't go using her name like that."

A voice called from upstairs, Minnie Murphy was awake and one with the world and from the sounds of it Sarah's Granny was acting as her moral compass.

"I'm sorry, Mom."

Sarah had raised her head enough from examining her shoes to see that her mother had actually rolled her own eyes at Minnie's voice before throwing her hands up and sitting down at the kitchen island. Her head in her hands she sighed.

"Would it have been easier for me to tell you that your Dad was a sperm donor? Because I can't do that to myself or to him, it's not fair to him Sarah. He would have been with us if things had gone differently."

Sarah was itching to know just what her mother was talking about but Minnie had to make her grand entrance into the kitchen, all swinging pastel shawls and clicking beads and patchouli. There standing next to her mother her Gran they looked some sort of reverse cameo or something. Col kept her hair long and dark and usually pulled up in some sort of way since she worked at the bar. Minnie kept hers long but wore it piled atop her head like some sort of ash blonde cotton candy confection.

"You guys did live together. It was that massive place..."

A sharp look from Colleen and a "Ma." was all it took to quiet Gran.

"I have a right to know! I'm 18 years old I'm not a little kid anymore!"

It was all Col had to do to keep herself together. She had long known that this would be coming, she had lied to herself about how she would handle it. She had saved scrapbook and photo album after photo album. She was sure there was some video somewhere and when Sarah had been very small up until she'd just started kindergarten He had called and even stopped in but only after they were sure she was asleep. The memories of that night, just grabbing her bags and keys and Sarah and making a run for it because Frank Flannery had cost them dearly.

"It's my r-.."

If Col had to hear that it as her 'given right' one more time her head might explode. Her heart was racing and her mind felt muddy and slow. It was like that night all over again. Taking another drag she held it and exhaled along with her birth name.

"Sarah Marie Miller."

That and that look that her mother had was all it took to shut her up right quick, as her granddad Jimmy used to say. Sarah watched as Colleen puffed lightly on a hand rolled cigarette, the only kind she smoked, and shared a conspiring look with Minnie and gently nudged the stool next to her out so Sarah could sit down. Twin sphinx cats with hooded eyes the same shade of blue green and high cheek bones.

"But my...my last name's Murphy.."

"You, my dear darling daughter are most certainly a Miller. Sit down, you're going to want to."

Another drag before she held it out to Sarah, who had the good sense to look shocked and shake her head.

"You think I don't know when you've been hitting my stash? C'mon, it's a really long story. Ma....should I call Helene or Harvey about this?"

Minnie, who had busied herself in getting the required margarita ingredients thought for a moment before nodding.

"I've already got extra glasses down and there's cheesecake in the fridge."

Relenting Sarah took a tiny hit from the joint offered to her and was sucker punched when it hit her lungs. Mom's stuff had gotten stronger or this was entirely different herb. Come to think of it this did look much more dark than what was usually found in that nifty wooden box above Col's bookcase in her bedroom. Granny was treating this like some sort of party or something and Mom was steps away from having a full blown panic attack. Getting up Sarah made towards the hall before stopping to ask.

"Can I call her? Please?"

Col raised her eyebrows and nodded before hiccuping and looking up at the ceiling trying to avoid Sarah's gaze. Her mother never cried in front of her until this moment. Reaching out her arms she leaned towards her mother and enveloped her in a tight hug.

So this was what it was like to give safety?

All those times Sarah had needed her Colleen had been there through it all. She'd worked two jobs and then taken over the family tavern. She had put Sarah through school and helped her grow into her own person allowing her make choices and mistakes.

"I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you...I just wanted to keep you safe..."

Running a hand over her mother's long dark hair which had slipped from her claw clip and noticed the thick threads of silver that had managed to weave their way through Cols temples and down to the very ends.

'Just wanted to keep you safe.'

Echoed through Sarah's mind as she thought back to all the times that her mother had busted into her bedroom when the bad dreams came, or school had her worried or someone was picking on her. Colleen was only steps away and sometimes, like with that older guy from school, she threw a punch or two to put them in their place.

"Mom...You've done nothing but keep me safer than Fort Knox."

Hugging Colleen tighter Sarah made a vow to herself that she'd be the kind of parent she'd had. A thought struck her. Both of her parents had loved her so much they had completely changed their dynamic and communicated long-distance undercover for her. How many of her friends had that?

"What's his name?"

A snuffling smile as Col composed herself for a moment.

"Bruce."

Running off towards the phone Sarah smiled as she dialed the number she had remembered as easily as her home phone or the bar.

"Aunt Helene? Would you like to come over? Mom's going to tell me about Bruce and she thinks you should be here. I think so too."

A cackle from the kitchen startled her as Minnie laughed.

"Keylime cheesecake!"

"Do you like lime?"
