Soulmate AU John Price x Self Insert (Amelia)
Amelia and her husband had been married for 9 years, but they weren't soulmates. Guilt and manipulations from David's family and David himself stopped her from leaving, David would occasionally sleep around with other women, claiming that he didn't, and that it was just from the bar or claiming that he thought they were his soulmate but it was "too late" when he realized they weren't. Amelia never complained, she was too tired to do anything about it. She was often busy with work and taking care of the house, cleaning up after David, while he worked from home.
Today she was finally getting a new job, her best friend, Kate Laswell, had recommended her for a better administrative assistant position in the 141 squadron. She quickly got dressed and her favorite blue business outfit, a white button up, a matching blue blazer and knee length pencil skirt. She accessorized with the tacky, cheap wedding and engagement ring David bought her, along with a simple, beautiful silver necklace and matching earrings she bought herself. She looked in the mirror and smiled, a bit of new confidence rising to her chest.
"There are leftovers in the fridge" Amelia peaked into her husbands "work area" which was basically his gaming room, with a single laptop dedicated to work, which was rarely used.
"You aren't gonna make me something?" David huffed, not looking up from his game, but nudging his headset to the side so he could hear Amelia better.
"I'm working, sweetheart" Amelia gently reminded him "I won't be home until 6 PM. So you have to figure out what to do for lunch, I'm very sorry" she looked down at her feet
"Ugh- fine, you better be home to make dinner and clean up my room at least-" David scoffed, shooting Amelia a glare
"I know.. I'll do my very best..." Amelia said quietly, leaving for work after grabbing her satchel
Amelia walked into the massive building, making her way to her office, as she walked down the hall, she was greeted by a tall man with a mohawk and a Scottish flag patch on the front of his vest
"Hello, sir. My name is Amelia, I'm looking for Captain Price" she said to the man.
"Hey there, lass. The cap'n is out today so I'll be getting ya settled" he said kindly with a thick Scottish accent "Name's Johnny MacTavish" he offered his hand for Amelia to shake. She took his hand and gently shook it
"Let me show you to your office, lass" Johnny took Amelia's arm in his own and walked further down the hall, stopping at the second to last door to the left. Amelia opened the door and smiled softly
"Oh wow... this is such a nice office!" Amelia gushed. Johnny leaned against the doorframe and watched her as she gently drug her fingers against the soft loveseat, looking over her desk, fully stocked with stationary, a modern computer and monitor, corkboards and whiteboards, a custom calendar of the 141, it was perfect.
"Oh my god.. this is beautiful"
"Really? Where the hell have ya been workin?" Johnny chuckled
"Ahe.. sorry" Amelia felt a bit embarrassed at her behavior
"Don't worry about it, lass. And feel free to decorate your space" Johnny said, flipping through a file he was holding and handing Amelia several sheets of paper "These are some basic forms you'll need to fill out, and everything you need to get set up" he said "I have some work to do, but I suggest goin around and meeting the other team members" Johnny blew Amelia a playful kiss before leaving.
Amelia took a deep breath to calm her very excited and happy nerves, she buckled down and got to work.
5 PM rolled around rather quickly, Amelia had met everyone except the captain. The day was honestly wonderful, mostly filled with greetings and gathering basic info for her records. When Amelia was packing her bag, there was a knock at her office door
"Come in" Amelia called out sweetly. A man she hadn't seen before stepped into the office. He looked worn and a bit muddy, he smelled faintly like cigars and the outdoors from where he was standing.
"Evening, darling. I'm Captain John Price" He spoke with a thick, gruff British accent. He had a boonie hat resting on top of his head, he had a full beard and goatee, and was dressed in a dirty British SAS uniform.
"Hello, captain" Amelia quickly stood from her seat and offered her her hand for the captain to shake "I'm Amelia Conner, the new administrative assistant" John smiled and shook his head, politely declining the handshake
"Sorry, love. Just got back from the field and I'm dirtier than a pub floor" He chuckled, Amelia retracked to hand to cover the slightly laugh that left her mouth
"I just dropped in to say hello, and to invite you out to drinks with the 141 and Los Vaqueros. Just to hang out and we can all get to know each other better" John leaned against the doorframe
"How long would you all be out?" Amelia asked, thinking of what she had said to her husband that morning
"Just for a few hours. You already got plans?" John inquired
"Well, I told my husband I'd be home soon, but I don't think he'd mind since it's for work" Amelia said hopefully
"Husband? What a lucky man he must be" John chuckled, "Well, I'll seeya in 30 minutes, love" he said before leaving the office. Amelia nervously fiddled with her ring and thought about what David would think. She grabbed her phone and thumb typed a message, telling David that she was going to stay late with her coworkers and to order takeout for himself. Her heartbeat sped up anxiously as she tossed her phone into her purse as soon as she hit send to her white lie. She then packed up the rest of her purse and went to meet up with her new coworkers
This is a series so fuck yall /j Seriously though, please give me suggestions!! I do not often write so I probably use a lot of stereotypes, and criticism is more than welcome, even if this is meant to be a cheesy, cringy fic to fill my desire of characters in love <3 Peace and love to you all and happy Valentine's day ^^

Some advice about picking a rental to live in that I learned the hard way:
Because some of us don't have folks to get sound advice from, I'm sharing in the hopes that it can help somebody avoid my current woes.
1. Don't sign a lease without being able to view the actual unit you'll be renting beforehand. The model unit is not always representative of what you're getting.
2. Don't schedule movers for the same day you sign your lease if the "move in day" is the first time you can see the unit.
In my state at least, the law says that you can turn around and terminate the lease without consequence after signing it, so long as you haven't actually moved in. This brings me to...
3. Call around and see if you can find any attorneys doing pro-bono tenant consultations. (Pro-bono means free.)
I found out that one of the local law schools has a program for this, which surprised me, because it's not a big university at all! I imagine other states with bigger schools have something similar.
Call some random attorney offices and ask if they can refer you to anybody doing pro-bono tenant consultations.
I see lot of people on reels and tiktok and whatever spouting off about tenants' rights, but it varies SO MUCH by region or state. Hell, laws vary by county within a state! You need to talk to somebody local who can educate you on your rights in your particular area.
Make sure you have resources available and can ask somebody for help and legal advice *before* you get in a pickle, or at least know where to get help when the situation does get pickled.
Ask em to look at the lease. They can help clue you in to whether or not youve been given a predatory lease agreement.
Ask also about the codes in your area regarding what the health, safety, and habitability standards are, and what landlords are beholden to.
Be sure to find out what kinds of situations enable you to end a lease without repercussions. This may save you if things get really bad.
I discovered that my state doesn't have mold codes and that the flood codes only apply to flooding from a natural, outdoor body of water. This means the landlord doesn't have to do jack squat about mold, and that water damage from plumbing leaks isn't relevant to flood disclosures. I found this out far too late.
If i'd consulted beforehand, I could have bailed instead of signing the lease under the impression that they legally had to fix it.
Some states have a lot of tenant's rights laws. Some, like mine, have next to none. Know the game you're playing before you jump in.
4. Be **THOROUGH** inspecting your prospective new rental.
Landlords and office staff love to rush you through unit tours hoping you won't find things. Find the things.
Nothing's gonna be perfect, but spend time checking details like baseboards, cabinets, faucets, inside appliances, drawers, fixtures, everything. Look for water damage. Look for signs of infestations. If the person supervising your tour gets irritated with you for being thorough, consider it a red flag.
Spend enough time in there that you can notice whether the place has a smell or triggers your allergies. Little things you notice now are going to drive you insane by the end of your lease.
5. Ask about their pest control policies, especially who is responsible for treatment costs if a bedbug infestation arises.
I've heard it said that there are two types of people in this world: people who've had an infestation, and those who are going to. It can be a nightmare, especially in multifamily housing, and landlords often make the tenants liable for costs. Find out beforehand.
6. ask when the last renovations were and what was done to the place.
I can't really think of much else, but if I do I'll edit this post. Hope this can help somebody! This is the advice I wish I'd gotten a month ago! Good luck out there!
