#TWC asks

[kaifanjc-the-one-and-only]

Alright, here's my first ask! *Ahem*

To Heket: Your cool and beautiful. I want to get to know you more! I'll even make macaroni and cheese for you! 😁

[therealslimshakespeare]

in your pow camp is gale not a virgin? maureen said she has got into his pants

Mm yeah, thanks for that Maureen. 🤣

She’s been in his pants for sure, although likely only a hand, maybe her mouth. His mouth has been in her pants 100%. I’d say no penetrative sex has occurred, for sure.

And tbh, neither I or Gale are sure how the hell that began. It’s something I still need to figure out.

It’s just he’s never had it in him to resist this gal, he tried valiantly at the start but it’s not even a case of her being insensitive to his code of ethics, she just hit him outta nowhere. Things that are definite no’s in his life go fuzzy around her. He’s not sure what to make of it and while he’s pondering it she winds up with a hand down his trousers and then his mind goes even fuzzier. This level of compromise has not been happening very long before the camp, but it’s had a significant enough lead up that everyone suspected long before they were guilty of it.

Which puts Gale in a state of turmoil as he’s both fighting his own inclinations towards the first selfish love of his life while also keenly conscious of its risk.

It was be horrific for his reputation and career to be found consorting with a subordinate. Subordinate’s -by nature of their subordination- can’t consent, so every interaction is a classified coercion.

Male with male or male with female, doesn’t matter. That’s the army rules.

It would be cataclysmic for both Maureen’s career but also the whole experiment of integration to be found out, so truly, Gale sympathizes with Ida’s rigidity. Added to this is Maureen’s Bucky Egan Levels of lack of self preservation. So Gale is really, really torn about it.

But also, he’s never been so loved up before in his life and it shakes him all up and dumps his insides out and the longer he goes on into this war, the less he’s sure about anything besides the here and now and the men -or women- right beside him.

for the Wayhaven asks: 15, 23, 24, and 26 for any of your girls that feel like answering 💖

15. Would they have reacted to Falk’s flirting, if given the opportunity?

Kasey.... might've, a little. More "playing along" than 100% sincere, maybe testing to see how far he would push. None of the others would. AJ and Janine are both too smitten by this point(both canons, for AJ), and he's not Mallory's type.

23. How are they with children?

AJ and Janine are both amazing with kids. AJ's the understanding one, who will listen to their stories, read them books, fixes a fun dinner and has this quiet authority to her kids listen to. Janine is the fun one; making up games, folding paper airplanes, helping them build forts, all of which pays off bc A) she has fun and B) they're exhausted at bedtime.

Mallory's alright. She can take care of kids, they'll listen to her and not complain if they hear she's in charge, but she's probably gonna try to have them sit and read or something else quiet(Unless they get in a fight. Then she's all "no, no, *THIS* is a correct stance, and here's how to throw a punch, and never, ever use this on your siblings, understand?")

Kasey is barely tolerable. She'll keep them alive, they'll be alright with her presence, but neither will be overjoyed with the experience.

24. Do they have any keepsakes from their father?

Mallory has his watch, non-functional but she still wears it. AJ has a bunch of his old work shirts, button downs with his initials inside the collar(since I headcanon for her his actual name is Aiden, that means they have the same initials). I.... don't think Janine has anything, I can't remember. I think Kasey has a framed photo of her and her parents from when she was a baby she almost never looks at.

26. If given the choice, would they become a vampire?

Yes for all. Mallory and Kasey are practically at the point of asking how to make it happen as of post-book 3. (Kasey's found it a turn on since book 1)

Wayhaven Asks

F says that M was smiling all morning the day after they hooked up with the detective in the car? why 👀 what made that time different from all the others for them 👀

Things are getting more emotionally involved for M with the MC, though they don't recognise that just yet.

Sleeping with the MC isn't just becoming about the pleasure of sex, but something much deeper and bonding.

When M realises this, it's going to be an AWESOME scene to write, and I am shaking with excitement to write it when it comes, hehe! :D

Thank you so much for the ask! :)

[calnexin]

drawing request! wayhaven!alina...perhaps book 4 if you've played...

wayhaven Alina.. that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time

[varpusvaras]

You know that Fox's brother's would ask what's his deal with liking the Organas. They're already using the "has a nice mustache and beard" with Cody and Obi-Wan and the "has a thing for authority figures" with Bly and Aayla, so they can't use those when they're making fun of Fox. That wouldn't be original. So they ask.

And Fox gives them the most weary look that a man can possibly give and just goes "oh you wanna actually know huh? You wanna actually know? It's because they're stable. They're the most stable people I've ever met in my entire life. I need to have something stable. I am not stable. I haven't been stable since I was born, which means that I've never been stable. Also they've been together over 20 years and they know exactly how this all works so I can for once just sit back and not think about anything, it's like taking a vacation which I don't get"

It's quiet. Bly opens his mouth to ask if that all means Fox is a bottom but Cody kicks him before he can say anything. They decide to let it be until the war is over and Fox has been to a therapist.

[ladiemars]

what are your thoughts on the new twc update 🥺

there were so many lines in the adam route that had me clutching my chest. like "i'm going to be alright, adam." "i know. i just needed to hear you say it." are you kidding. they were insane for that.

and oh my god the end scene. WITH FARAH. why does angst hurt so much worse when it's with her. god please take all of farah's pain and give it to adam

+ our new villain... yummy. very excited for that freak

[wayhavenmemes]

Honestly in love with how much clowning on A is done here. Even when the relationship does happen i think the makeup will be fused to their & the detective's faces at that point. 🤣

That is definitely true. When that time finally comes, they will be Mr. and Mrs. Clown!

[itsmistyeyedbi]

Quick question for people's twc detectives: in what ways have they changed for the better after meeting and joining ub? And have some aspects of them changed for the worse?👀

(send an ask without lamb looking) dear bishops lamb is trans but he was not treating nicely when he comes out that he's a boy not a girl in his past what do you all think?

[therealslimshakespeare]

What do you have in store for Ida and Rosie’s story? Because they are the only pairing who aren’t at the POW camp.

Aha!! This is gonna be a long answer, hence why I let your ask molder away as I worked on a reply, thanks for your patience.

I can’t wait to weave this whole thing, and it’s honestly the only postwar story I’m at all sure about in this universe so far. Let’s just say it’s a hella slow burn. Even after getting married. Because they do marry. Rather soon. But they are a bit of a buddy cop duo. Romantic love -at least for Ida- comes later.

I think it’s safe to assume that dear Ida was present when Rosie first introduced himself to the Bucks, told his underwear story and generally made a magnificent entry. Now, one must consider two things with this:

1. Rosie’s regret over what the hell he was thinking telling that story would be compounded by telling it in front of a female officer

2. Ida might have always been a stiff spined stickler before her trauma and the Stalag, but she did have a sense of humor. I like to think she found him funny, plus, with the Bucks beginning to fray a little in their own morale, flagging in offering encouragement to the newbies, I think Ida would be the sort to fill that role, best she can. Surprisingly, Rosenthal, Nash, Pappy, they’re not the sorta men to resent a woman giving them a pep m-up chat.

Now, keep in mind it’s three missions later and she’s been downed so there was not really a connection made there. Although I love to think that some night in the Stalag when everyone is bored and playing ask games with each other, one of the questions is:

“Who was the last person ya danced with?”

And Bucky gets to tell about Paulina and Gale gets chafed about choosing Meatball over Maureen and Brady bemoans having been so stuck on the bandstand playing sax instead of taking his chances and then when it’s Ida’s turn she’s just: “it was one of the new ones, the ‘egg frying on the instrument panel,’ guy.”

This is met with a chorus of “Rosenthal???”

“Told me to call him Rosie.” Ida shrugs. “He had some fun moves.”

Anyways. That’s a far off thing by April of ‘45.

SPOILERS ABOUT ESCAPE:

….

when Ida get away with Gale and makes it back first of anyone to England? Best believe she is beyond distracted with worry for her girls. Who’s there to meet her and welcome her and Cleven to Thorpe? Crosby of course -and Rosie. Malnourished, ptsd riddled and burdened with responsibility for her girls, Ida isn’t exactly the sparkly female Colonel that Rosenthal remembers meeting and dancing with.

In fact, that first initial interaction goes a bit sourly. She needs a nap, he awkwardly needs a deposition on her treatment. It’s a little rough, ok?

But the longer she is back at Thorpe, reunited with her few girls still there who were never downed, she learns how well their new Lt. Colonel -Rosenthal- has looked after them, fought to resend the grounding orders after Ida went down, generally been a good bean.

Also, due to being her superior now and having been given the legal burden of collecting information and evidence on the girls treatment by the Germans, Rosenthal and Ida start spending time, a lotta time, together.

There’s Jeep chauffeuring, Coffee Breaks and Mercy Runs where he goads her into buzzing the tower for the first time in her life -“of course I haven’t done it before, Rosenthal. One of you cats do it and it’s cute, I do it and I’m fired. No, I don’t mean discharged, I mean plainly fired.”

And then there’s the depositions, eventually full of her having to dictate shit that she’s never vocalized since it happened to her. Somehow, Rosie makes the whole thing easier than she ever expected. Not to say it’s easy. Although if you asked his female secretary, she’d say the one more visibly affected by it was the male lawyer, not the half catatonic victim spewing a rote litany of horror.

One time, his grip on his pencil gets so tight that it snaps. Ida replaces it. His quiet rage for her is about the best closure she’s felt so far. And that thread of such shared knowledge between them and them alone, even if it was in professional context? -That’s Intimacy. Far more than kisses or rings.

A righteous vengeance duo? Yes please, they’re a force to be reckoned with as the war winds down.

Before long Ida is asking Croz, “Was Rosenthal always that pretty?”

Harry is cackling over it, “Yeah.” He goads her, “But he is more confident now.”

“Confidence.” Ida repeats, trying to convince herself, “Yeah, that would be it.”

The thing of it is, Ida was unsure or marriage before her brutal treatment in captivity. Now? And after her military experience? She’s very sure she could never be a wife. Not even of a smart and secure man like Robert Rosenthal. Men just expect certain things and dynamics from their wives and Ida has never been sure she had that in her. Now she’s positive. And she’s too proud to marry only to then “turn a blind eye” as he finds what she lacks in women elsewhere.

Rosie? His argument is that what they’ve already built these last months, it’s what he wants. Marrying her is to keep that. If that’s all they ever have that’s enough, he couldn’t stand to lose it.

A chaste honeymoon on the way to Nuremberg to go fuck up a bunch of Nazis for the second time in their young lives? You betcha.

Will we get to be in a relationship with Adam in book 4? Like you said this will be a seven books series, but my heart can't take it anymore if it has to be in the last books that I can be lovey dovey with him T^T And I just want to ask first to prepare mentally, not forcing you to have it in there! Have a nice day!

Adam/Ava won't get into a relationship with the MC in Book Four, but there will be much more close romance in Book Four for Adam/Ava. I really wanted to give A-mancers a bit of a break before the angsty intensity coming up when Adam/Ava takes two steps back in progress.

BUT A-mancers will be in a relationship long before the end of the series so they can enjoy actually being with A together in a couple.

I do love me some pining and angst, but even I have my limits for will-they-won't-they, lol! :D

Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for the ask! :)

[lalizah]

!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am looking !!!!!!!!!!!

So am I ahhhh! I just want to get the 50$ Patreon membership so that I can ask Sera for an AU for a LT between N and M, pls I'd eat that up, I'd inhale it!

I sent her an ask once and I can't find it rn but she said bff!N and InLove!M LT would be a very angsty LT bcs they both wouldn't hold back and I just !!!!!!

For Liz, this works so so well because she's too much like Nate in the "let's encourage others to talk about their feelings. Not me tho" department and also this sense of being perfect all the time, and I can see a friendship blossoming into love be an extremely happy situation for them both but also! They're both so! Cagey on details about themselves! And this could cause so much friction between them. They're both putting on a performance to distract from their feelings and pasts so! But with Mason/Morgan, Liz and M have a "God I have to tolerate this person" dynamic in the beginning, until Liz and M understand each other silently. There's no expectations, no need to voice things, just running on instinct and whatever feels right. Liz also worries about not being good enough for N but strangely doesn't feel that way around M, lol

Sorry for the long ramble, I have been cooking this particular pot of chilli for over 2 years now so 🫣

Thanks for the ask lovely!

WHAT is the local politics nate x suri infidelity au. pray tell 👀

Thank you for asking, dear Rowan!

This was a little idea baked in DMs with my bestie and it was a fun one to think about. Bobby would be running as incumbent to a relatively local office (county/state representative, so stakes are not that high), and he’s married to Suri who is his campaign manager. It’s not a happy (or exclusive, on his end) marriage, not anymore, but she is brilliant and he needs her to win. Knowing that, he ties his winning to giving her the out that she wants (carefully timed, it’s politics after all)

Enter his opponent for this race. New, charismatic, handsome Nate Sewell. Electric, exciting. What was supposed to be an easy win for Bobby is now going to be the election to watch.

So, in an attempt to feel their opponent out, Surina will meet with Nate’s campaign manager and Nate himself and … oh. Oh no. Oh no. And she’s not the only one instantly struck with attraction, it’s mutual and it’s not a temporary feeling, not as things heat up and both sides get to know each other

There will be a lot to navigate with going through with what she wants and what she needs and how is she going to get both? How will THEY get both? What happens to Bobby?
