AS IT SHOULD BE

[grapecaseschoices]

I loved the ori facts. I was wondering if we could get some val and hiyam facts as well pls. 🥰

Val Montemer

1) Their middle name is Ariel.

2) I think I've said before that they are really into cars and tinker in a garage. Nothing official, a hobby and they let them have their own spot.

3) Val's closet is filled with leather jackets. Which is fine because the rest of their clothing is rather cheap, mostly just white shirts and jeans. Though they have a few polos, like those weirdly colored and patterned one teenage boys wear. Like some weird puce green and maroon stripped thing. It hurts Nate's eyes and soul.

4) Despite dressing like a greaser and a 19 year old college skater as well just styling their hair the same, Val went to cosmetology school. Did well in it. Their focus is in hair. Tina and Felix are the only ones who make use of their skills these days.

5) Their favorite films are the Rush Hour ones [to Adam's exasperation and fondness. Val is one step away from saying "Do you understand the words coming outta my mouth?" To the wrong person. It really is a miracle they haven't yet.] And they love anything Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew related -- well they haven't seen the CW show yet.

6) Val is allergic to latex. They found out yhe first time they tried a kiwi in middle school.

7) Val has phasmophobia. It isn't severe but yeah they have a fear of ghosts. Which is funny because they would sometimes follow conspiracy theorists on YouTube and stuff.

8) Surprisjng to most: Val is a big tea drinker. They don't hate coffee but it isn't something they seek. They have 0 tattoos. And only two piercings; they did to prefer black studs.

9) Nate and Val don't like each other. But they're doing better. They're so different. Nate TRIES, of course, but Nate is Nate. However, for Val -- has pushed too many buttons. Still they make an effort for the team.

10) ooc fact: Val is my shortest (5'1") and youngest (24 at start of book 1) detective. Val might be one of my shortest IF characters, period.

Hiyam Vinke

1) In another life, I could maybe see Hiyam doing something corporate. She gave a go at pre-law and they took business classes. (Her parents definitely would have preferred it) But music was always her heart. And she always wanted to see her name in lights. Maybe she could have been an entertainment lawyer but I don't think she would have been happy.

2) Hiyam has this ... lowkey obsession for anything with wings and a stronger one for anything that can fly. I don't even fully know why zjhshshe. I mean I do but -- It sounds weird because she is just so brash but I think sometimes she does feel a bit caged. Maybe it is expectations, maybe it is preconceptions. I will figure it out yhe more I ponder her, I'm sure. I'm not sure how much of it is actual people caging her or how she just sees things. [I kind of feel like it is a mix]

But when she and Seven broke up, she replaced Seven"s initials with a butterfly.

3) Hiyam is an acts of service kind of love/friend. Less in the 'makes breakfast for you' [though she might] and more in the you're stranded, half drunk, and don't want Orion to know. You know you can call Hiyam at 2am and she will show up. Some complaints but she will show up with water and a blanket. She is not yhe little things friend but she is there when needed.

4) Recently learned that Hiyam has a soft spot for Rowan. And she is more fond of her fans [as a whole] than expected.

5) She is 6'0".

6) She did ballet from kindergarten [maybe earlier) well into HS. It was one of the few things her parents consistently showed up for. But music needed her focus, so she gave up performing but she still occasionally practices [no one knows]

7) She used to play chess with Devyn before Orion showed. And of course read up on it because she was so bad. She couldn't stand losing and I think that was around yhe time she had to let ballet go, so in her mind she refused to "quit" on something else. But she never got into it into it until the crush peaked.

8) Hiyam has two dogs. A French Bulldog and a Rottweiler.

9) She has her tongue and belly button pierced, on top of her ears.

10) ooc fact: She is my one of two glasses wearer [Val being the other] and my only other smoker outside of Andy. [Gonna get more glasses folks]

Ty for the ask!!

[wayhavenguide]

Hi, I had a question! I'm in book 1 and I always love the scenes where you go and meet/chill with one of the four vamps, but I especially love doing those scenes with the person I want to romance. My question; if I spend all the scenes with the person I want to romance, will I still be able to have enough friendship points for book 1 to have the rest of the vamps be my friend? Or should I divide my attention a little bit more? I'm always scared of missing out romantic scenes.

Hi! Thanks for the question, and apologies for the delay in answering it! When I read it my brain went a little overboard in its curiosity so it took some time to figure out a precise answer.

Put simply: it depends on how you're defining "friends". That said, if you define it by the bounds of the game's coding then no it isn't really possible to become friends with each member of Unit Bravo by the end of Book One if you're choosing to pursue scenes with your RO exclusively. But it's entirely possible to be on decent/good terms with everyone while getting most of the scenes with your RO, if you're careful about dialogue options and balancing your preferences among UB in group scenes.

I've put a more detailed and long-winded explanation below the cut:

So, the Friendship system in TWC is fairly complex. Each member of Unit Bravo has their own personalized parameters surrounding their friendship level. As of Book Two, the parameters are as follows:

AVA/ADAM FRIENDSHIP

3 Friendship points or under: Tense teammates 4 through 7 Friendship points: Teammates 8 through 13 Friendship points: Respected teammates 14 Friendship points or higher: Close teammates

NAT/NATE FRIENDSHIP

4 Friendship points or under: Teammates 5 through 7 Friendship points: Respected teammates 8 through 12 Friendship points: Good teammates 13 Friendship points or higher: Friends

FARAH/FELIX FRIENDSHIP

4 Friendship points or under: Teammates 5 through 8 Friendship points: Good teammates 9 through 12 Friendship points: Friendly teammates 13 Friendship points or higher: Totally mates

MORGAN/MASON FRIENDSHIP

4 Friendship points or under: Barely teammates 5 through 7 Friendship points: Teammates 8 through 11 Friendship points: Better teammates 12 Friendship points or higher: Close teammates

With these bounds in mind, it's up to you which level you'd consider friendly enough to be satisfactory. But, by the end of Book One, it's extremely difficult to breach even the second level with all of them because the points available are limited and the majority of them are "competing".

In a single playthrough of Book One, assuming you chose every option that would raise their friendship level, each character's Friendship point maximum is:

N: 22 A: 18 F: 24 M: 19

Each of these, again assuming you are making it a priority in that given playthrough, is more than enough to reach the highest Friendship level with that character. The problem is that you cannot earn all of those points for more than one character in the same playthrough, or do it and gain all the Romance points available for the RO you're pursuing because the provided options are contested. You're choosing to gain some points instead of others. There are very limited options that will gain you one character's Friendship points without putting you at a deficit for some other character. In fact, each character's number of "freebie" points is only:

N: 6 A: 1 F: 4 M: 2

This means that of 18 Friendship points in the whole of Book One available for A, you can only gain 1 of them without choosing to let go of someone else's available point. In one circumstance, you have to choose between gaining 1 Friendship point with M or a point with everyone else. So as you can imagine, there's A LOT of deliberate point balancing that needs to go on if you're trying to raise everyone's level, and in many cases it's still going to cost you strong personality scores since you'll tend to be bouncing the Detective back and forth disposition-wise.

The good news is that there's no real detriment to not raising their level to the highest available. So long as you raise M and A into the second category, they won't carry any tension or hostility in their interaction with the Detective. F and N are always friendly, and it's easiest to get them up further since they have more freebie points. Plus, once your romance is locked in by Book Two, you get ample opportunity to raise friendship with the others as it won't be at the expense of your romantic path. It takes more time to make everyone your "friend" than what can happen in one book.

If you want my recommendation to try and get the most out of the friendship levels while not sacrificing major romance scenes, I encourage the following choices:

In Chapter 3, Interview the Witness. In Chapter 9, Stay at the Office. In Chapter 10, Do the tests. In Chapter 11, Ask all the vampire questions. In Chapter 12, Go with N+M to the hospital. In Chapter 13, Let F In.

These specific choices will give you more opportunities to score points with characters who have less available, or maximize your chance of choosing dialogue that will earn points with multiple characters. Most of the other choices are going to boil down to who you want to prioritize in that playthrough.

[homeformyheart]

first line tag game

aww thank you for the tag, @pearlsandsteel!!!

Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favourite opening line. Then tag some of your favourite authors!

but also tagging: @mistyeyedbi; @vintage-vamp; @gloynporslen; @kelseaaa; @otherworldlypresents; and @ambrosykim.

favorite opening line: I got to revisit half of the feb prompts and I gotta say I love most of ‘em, but if I had to pick a few I’d go with #3, 8, and 18 but those are mostly because they’re also my fave fics.

patterns: in all the fics except for 1, my opening line usually describes an action of a character and establishes setting, which makes sense. I think that’s how my brain works when it’s trying to create an opening scene.

1.  bucket list - drabbles w/all pairings

lyra rummaged through the drawer of her nightstand, tossing out old receipts, rubber bands, and other random knick-knacks that she really didn’t need but kept anyway “just in case.”

2.  vows - adam du mortain x regina bishop

regina took one last look at herself in the mirror, her grandmother’s veil framing her face and covering her shoulders.

3. threats - mason x ria knight

ria flexed her fingers in and out of a fist under her crossed arms as she glared at bobby fucking marks.

4. birthday - felix hauville x hayley bishop

felix zoomed around the warehouse living room, rearranging the balloons and streamers strung about the room, before tweaking the position of the large banner hung across the window.

5. prepared - adam du mortain x regina bishop

regina walked into the living room, smiling at the sight of adam reading quietly on the couch, on one of their rare days off.

6. camping - felix hauville x hayley bishop

felix stopped mid-stride, jerking hayley back a step, to let the late morning sun warm his face.

7. katniss - adam du mortain x lyra kingston x nate sewell (LT)

lyra hummed cheerfully as they arrived at a secluded part of the forest, skipping to the small clearing where several training dummies and equipment were laid out.

8. story time - adam du mortain x regina bishop

nate laid out several children’s books in front of jacques, who was seated in his lap patiently, unusual for the typically fussy child.

9. cereal - felix hauville x hayley bishop

hayley chuckled at the image of felix sitting in her shopping cart, legs crossed, skimming his fingers lightly over the shelves as she moves through the aisle.

10. dinner date - mason x brooklyn kingston

brooklyn stopped just outside of the main warehouse doors when her phone rang, motioning for mason to go on ahead without her as she picked up.

11. undercover - adam du mortain x regina bishop

adam frowned as he looked up at the detective’s apartment door from where he currently hid in the shadows of the stairwell.

12. breakfast run - mason x ria knight

they didn’t have time to address whatever had happened in the bakery that day, or at least, that’s what ria told herself.

13. guilt - felix hauville x hayley bishop

felix took a deep breath, letting the cool spring air fill his lungs, smiling despite the sharp pain from his hypersensitive internal organs.

14. photo - adam du mortain x regina bishop

farah tried to sit still, cross-legged on the bed, as regina rummaged through her packed closet for some of the old mission documents she kept forgetting to bring back to the warehouse to shred.

15. tonight - adam du mortain x regina bishop

farah ran into the room and jumped on to the full-sized bed in the room, which was just big enough to be comfortable for two people, if those two people were willing to get cozy.

16. traditions - nate sewell x m!detective (gift)

nate rubbed his hands together and blew on them to try to warm them up before shoving them back into the pockets of his coat.

17. spiked - tina poname & ria knight

ria crossed her arms over her chest and tried not to look bothered as she patrolled the perimeter of the square.

18. bets - unit bravo vs. unit alpha; adam du mortain x regina bishop

regina rubbed her eyes and tried to hide her yawn behind her hand. being at the facility sometimes felt like being at the casino or a strip club – no windows or clocks that would indicate how much time had passed.

19. heartbeat - adam du mortain x regina bishop

regina stumbled toward the ground, hand splayed against a nearby tree trunk for balance.

20. attention - mason x brooklyn kingston

things were finally quiet enough that brooklyn could catch up on paperwork. it was calming, sitting behind her desk, fingers flying over the keys, and seeing progress bit by bit

Title: Love Like You: Part 19

Pairing: Adam and Thea

Words: 3.7k

Series Summary:  Adam was used to pushing her away, but Thea had stuck by his side anyway. This time he may have finally done it, and now is in the danger of losing her forever

Part Summary: Adam arrives at the scene, his worse fears seeming to come true Tags: @sosolenoo @lilyoffandoms @ihavethemindofamaster @anotherbeingsworld @zizzlekwum

The entire drive over could have been considered a form of torture.

               The building that Thea, Felix, and Mason went to was a few hours out of the way, and Adam could feel himself getting more and more nervous.

               What if we are too late?

               Adam looked over to Nate, who looked about just as lost as he felt, his hands were out of his pockets, but he was wringing them together like he had never seen him do before.

               Part of him wanted to ask him if it was indeed too late, in order to try and get his normal reassuring answer and allow it to comfort him, but he was not sure if Nate could even convince himself at the moment, much less him as well.

               His grip tightened on the steering wheel as he continued to drive in an attempt to stop his hands from shaking, but it did nothing for the pit of worry that had not left his stomach.

               Where could Thea be?

               He gave a long shaky breath at the thought of her, the image of her heartbroken blue eyes overwhelming him, but he pushed it away.

               She’s going to be alright.

               She has to be.

               The three of them should have never been on that mission in the first place, and now there was a chance he could lose them all.

               I can’t let that happen, I can’t.

               “I think we need to call the Agency”, Nate suddenly spoke.

               “What?”, he asked at the sudden statement, “Why?”

               “We still don’t know what we are walking into”, he explained, “I understand not wanting to wait for backup, but we might need it. At least this way, there may be some help coming”

               “Okay”, he nodded, too distracted to fight him on it, not that he disagreed with it either.

               He got out his phone, and fiddled with it for a few minutes before he finally made the call, and Adam was barely paying attention to what he was saying, letting it all wash over him.

               It’s all going to turn out fine. It has to.

               “Alright, thank you”, he heard Nate say as he hung up the phone, and he turned back to him, “There should be a good few people coming”

               “Sounds good”, he said simply.

               “They aren’t very happy about us leaving without telling anyone”, he continued.

               “We’ll worry about that later”, Adam countered, with a harsher tone then he intended, “The circumstances demanded it”

               “I’m not trying to argue with you on this”, he replied, “I’m just letting you know”

               He gave a weak nod, and Nate looked like he wanted to say something else, but he heard him sigh, and he slouched back in the passenger seat.

               “Do you think everything will turn out okay?”, he finally got the nerve to ask, and his chest tightened at the way that he gave a weak shrug at that.

               “I really don’t know”, he muttered, “And I really wish I did”

               Adam tried to ignore the way that it made him even more anxious, and he tried to strengthen his resolve, squaring his shoulders as he did so.

               There has to be some hope.

               They were about a mile away from their destination when he started to smell smoke.

               Smoke?

               “Any idea where that could be from?”, Nate asked, having noticed it as well.

               “Not near us, no”, he said, his voice trailing off as he had a moment of realization.

               It can’t possibly be…

               You don’t know for sure yet, don’t think about this now.

               But it was not long before the sight of flames could be seen, towering over the surroundings, and Adam could feel his heart pound.

               No, please no.

               The place where they had been directed to, to which the person who told them about it said it was a tall red brick building, was completely engulfed in flames, part of the roof already having caved in, and there was no sign of it stopping.

               He slammed on the brakes and turned off the car in a hurry, and almost sprinting out of the car, Nate hot on his heels.

               The air around seemed to be radiate heat, and being closer to the smoke just made it harder and harder to breathe.

               But it was hardly what he was worried about.

               We’re too late.

               “They’re gone”, he managed to choke out, trying to hide back the wave of emotion in his voice, “He said they would be gone when we got here and- “

               “If they are still alive, we’ll find them”, Nate said, but from the shaky tone in his voice, he was unsure of the outlook himself.

               Still alive.

               Adam got the sudden urge to fall to the ground, and he just managed to keep himself standing, trying to breathe a deep breath to keep his composure.

               Not here. I can’t fall apart here.

               “I’m sure all three of them are alive”, Nate quickly added, as if he just realized what he had said.

               “You don’t know that”, he felt himself whisper, and it took a little to realize that he had spoken it aloud.

               I can’t lose her, I can’t.

               Not like this. I don’t think I can take it.

               “Maybe there is something around here that could give us an idea where they went?”, Nate asked, but he was not sure whether he had just said it to try and make him feel better.

               “The fire has probably taken anything that was left”, he said, even as much as he wanted to deny it and agree with him, “And I doubt the trappers left anything important behind”.

               He gave a shaky sigh, a sense of urgency filling his voice, “There is not much for us to do while we wait for the Agency. If there is anything, we need to find it”

               Adam could not argue with that, even with the sinking feeling that the both of them would not find anything.

               Thea’s last memory of you is going to be the words you should have, for once, taken back.

               “This was a mistake”

               He shook his head in an attempt to get that out of his head.

               It’s not going to be. I’m not going to accept that.

               The two of them started to make their way closer to the front of the building, and a sudden yell made them both turn around

               “Περίμενε!”

               The voice was in a language that he recognized being Greek, but he knew next to nothing about it, and he saw a dryad, her dark green hair falling in messy clumps around her face, the leaves in her hair a sickly yellow. Her white dress was tattered, and her almost green-tinted skin was covered in dirt.

               Adam looked to Nate, as if asking him what to do, and he stepped forward, saying something back to her in Greek.

               The two of them talked for a bit, and he could feel his stomach tighten as he watched his face fall as she continued to talk, and it was starting to put him on edge.

               “What did she say?”, he finally asked, not able to hold it back any longer.

               “She said that three people helped her get out”, he answered, an audible shake in his voice, “And the trappers left them behind after the fire”

               Please, no.

               Before Nate could try and talk him out of it, he ran off, frantically searching for any sign of any of them.

               Did they get trapped inside?

               He knew that Felix and Mason would probably turn out okay if they did, providing how much they were weakened before, but Thea.

               She can’t be dead, she can’t.

               Adam tried to swallow down the sob in his throat, his eyes starting to sting, but he was not sure if that was from the smoke from the still raging fire or the tears that were threatening to spill, but as he made his way around the building, his steps quickening and hardly thinking straight, he saw a figure on the ground.

               And he could feel his heart fall to his feet as he realized who it was.

               Thea

               He was full on sprinting now, and even with the roaring sound in his ears, he found the sound of her heartbeat, weak, but still there.

               Oh, thank God.

               The relief did not last long as he realized that he was not conscious, and her breathing came out weak and ragged.

               Adam dropped down to his knees next to her, and before he even knew what was he was doing, he picked her up, letting her head rest against her arm, almost cradling her, and he finally got a good look at her.

               It was not till then that he realized just how tiny Thea was. She was almost a full foot shorter than him, but she never had seemed so small until this moment, being almost dwarfed by his broad arms, her right ankle bent in an unnatural position. Her yellow sweater and blue jeans were covered in soot and dirt, scratches and cuts covering about every visible inch of her skin. Her dark chocolate brown hair fell in uneven clumps, full of tangles, and her face, while also covered in dirt, had clear line of tears that ran down her checks, and he could feel his chest tighten at the sight of it.

               He knew he should have left to try and find Nate, but he stayed put, almost marveling at the fact that she was here at all, and he moved his hand to brush her hair out of her face, and even with it covered in soot, it was still surprisingly soft.

               “Thea”, he whispered, not sure if she could even hear him, but not caring in the slightest about that. He left out a shaky breath, and he then pleaded, “Please wake up. Please”

               I’m not strong enough to lose you.

               I don’t think I could take it.

               “I have so much I need to say to you”, he continued, his voice getting more and more unsteady at the minute, “I need you Thea. I don’t think I could go on without you”

               I love you.

               Before Adam could even realize what, he was doing, he moved his head down to rest his forehead on his, it feeling almost feverish from how warm it was, and he tried to concentrate on her heartbeat.

               “I’m so sorry”, he choked out, closing his eyes as he said it to keep himself from crying, “I’m sorry I’m not what you deserve”

               He let out another shaky breath, and he heard a hacking cough that was not his own, and he moved his head back as he slowly watched Thea’s Atlantic blue eyes flutter open.

               “Adam?”, she weakly said, her eyes seeming to be fighting to stay open, “Is it- really you?”

               “It’s me”, he replied, relief filling his whole being with a rush, and he was unable to keep a smile off his face.

               Her eyebrows then furrowed in worry, “Do you know where Felix and Mason are?”

               “I don’t”, he admitted, almost forgetting all about them, “But I’m sure there fine. They would be able to get out of there”

               She weakly nodded, and he saw her eyes threatening to close again.

               “Hey”, he said gently, “Eyes on me, okay?”

               I need to see your eyes. I have to.

               Thea gave a weak laugh, “I’m trying. It’s just getting harder”

               “I’m not leaving”, he said resolutely, “You are going to get out of this, alright?”

               You have to.

               “I’m going to be by your side until the end”, he said, and he felt his heart pound at the thought that this might be the end, “I promise”

               “Adam”, she softly whispered, and he continued,

               “Once we all get back, maybe I’ll take you to see the fireworks again”

               And maybe, I’ll actually kiss you this time like I should have done.

               She gave a weak smile, “I’d really like that. But Adam?”

               “Yes?”

               “I’m so sorry”, Thea said, giving a cough as she said it, and he tightened his grip on her in response.

               “You have nothing to apologize for”, he assured her, “I should be telling saying that to you”

               “I should have- “, she began, but he gently shushed her.

               “None of what happened is your fault, do you understand me?”

               He paused before continuing, saying the words that he should have said a long time ago, “You are more than I could ever deserve”

               Adam watched her eyes grow wide, and she opened her mouth to say something, before biting her lip in order to stop it from spilling out and he got the nerve to move his hand back through her hair, which he felt her exhale from the touch.

               “I mean that”, he affirmed, “I’m not lying to you”

               Her breath caught, and he swore he could see the start of new tears at the edge of her eyes, but she gave him another small smile, but as she did so, her eyelids were starting to grow heavy again.

               “Please hold on”, he pleaded, “Please”

               I still need you.

               “I’m- really glad you’re here”, she whispered.

               “I wouldn’t be anywhere else”, he reassured her.

               Thea weakly moved her hand to rest on top of his, her hand somehow still freezing, and it sent goosebumps over his skin.

               But her eyes closed, and this time, she was not fighting to open them up again, and her head rolled over to lean on his chest.

               “Thea”, Adam said quietly, but it was not long before his voice came to almost pleading yell, “Thea! Please come back!”

               Please don’t leave me.

               Her eyes did not open again, and her ragged breathing and weak heartbeat rang loud in his ears.

               He could feel his eyes start to sting with unshed tears, and he gripped Thea tighter, bringing her closer to him.

               “I can’t take losing you”, he whispered, finally saying what he had only said in his head, “I know I can’t”

               Adam moved his head closer to hers, and he finally said the three little words that he had only said in his head for so long.

               “I love you Thea. I love you”

               He looked back at her, almost as if saying it would make her wake up again, but she did not stir again.

               “I said it”, he breathed out, “I said it. Please wake back up. Please”

               Without knowing what else he could do, feeling like he was trapped in a nightmare, knowing that he should try and find Nate, but he felt frozen to his spot.

               He moved his head back forward, and he gave her a gentle kiss at the top of her forehead, and even though it tasted of ash, he hardly cared.

               “Adam!”

               A familiar voice made him turn, and it was only then that he realized that the fire had died off, and while there will still remnants of it there, most of the building that could be burned had already been completely destroyed.

               He saw Felix and Mason, looking a little worse for wear but otherwise alright, running up to him, two people behind him he did not recognize, but guessed they were some of the trapper’s prisoners.

               “It’s so good to see you”, Felix laughed out, but he could hear true relief in his voice, but as his face fell to Thea, he could see his amber eyes fill in worry.

               “Get Nate”, was all that he could choke out.

               Mason gave a nod, and he went off, the two prisoners behind him, and Felix came over to kneel down next to them.

               “Is she okay?”, he asked, moving his gaze to Adam.

               I don’t know.

               He could not bring himself to answer that, becoming more and more fearful that this would be his last moment with her.

               “Thea’s tough”, Felix said, but as he went on, it was more of like he was trying to convince himself, “She’ll make it through just fine”

               Will she?

               She has to.

               He put his arm on his shoulder when he did not say anything, and even though he tensed at the touch, he did not try to pull away.

               “She saved us, you know”, Felix continued, “It was her that got out first, and then she got us out. We told her to go ahead of us in order to get one prisoner out while Mason and I got the other two, but we should not have separated”

               His voice faltered, “It’s our fault. Thea was against us splitting up. We should have listened to her”.

               “It’s not”, Adam quietly said, speaking for the first time since he came over here.

               You guys should have never been on this mission in the first place.

               And you never would have been if that kiss never happened.

               He looked back at Thea, trying to keep himself together as he looked at her, praying that she would pull through.

               Please don’t take away the only light I have.

               Felix looked a bit awed that he had even said anything in the first place, and he continued, “You’ll figure it out, Adam. Everything regarding this, and everything afterwards”

               He then took a breath before continuing, “I wish I knew how to help you more”

               You’ve helped me more then you could ever know.

               “You do help”, he said simply, never taking his eyes off Thea, watching closely the gentle rise and fall of her chest, hoping that he would not have to see it stop.

               Before he could say anything else, he saw Nate running up to the both of them.

               “Mason told me what happened”, he said breathlessly, and then he looked down at Thea, and back at Adam, “Are you okay?”

               “Why wouldn’t I be?”, he almost scoffed out, seeming like a ridiculous question to him given Thea the way the she was.

               “We need to get her to the Agency”, he said, ignoring the harshness of his original statement, “You need to move”

               And even though walking felt like he was walking through cement, he got up anyway, taking Thea up with him, her almost seeming to weigh nothing at all, and he gently tried to keep her head leaning against his chest and not flopping to the other side away from him.

               Nate gave him a nod, and he started making his way back, his steps quickening as he did so, and he quickened his own in response, Felix close behind the both of them.

               It did take the group of them long to catch up with Mason, who was standing next to the trapper’s prisoners, and he saw the dryad that had originally came up to him and Nate perk up as they did so, asking a question to him in Greek.

               He answered back, but from the worry lines on his face, she had asked about Thea, and he could feel his chest tighten at the thought, grasping her firmer than he already was.

               “The Agency should be here soon”, Nate said in English, “You won’t have to wait long”

               I really hope we don’t.

               Mason came walking up to him, his grey eyes filled with the rare look of obvious worry.

               “Did she wake up at all?”, he asked him.

               “She did”, Adam muttered, never taking his eyes off of her, “We talked for a little bit before she passed out again”.

               “That’s a good sign, you know”, Mason said, “She’ll pull through”

               God, I hope so.

               But as he thought that, as if some true twist of fate, he heard her heartbeat get even slower, and from the look in Mason’s eyes, he had heard it to.

               Please don’t leave me behind Thea.

               He knelt back to the ground, and it was like he was unable to stay still, rocking them both, and he realized exactly what he must do.

               I made a promise to stay with her. I’m not going to breaking the last promise I could ever give her.

               I’ve already hurt her enough.

               The next few minutes were a blur for Adam, and he was not sure just how long it was. It could have been hours for all that he knew. Everyone else was watching the road for any sign of the Agency, but it was hardly what he was worried about.

               “You mean everything to me”, he choked out, and at that moment, he did not care who heard.

               You are everything.

               Everything that I’ll never be, and everything that I don’t deserve.

               “Commanding Agent”, said a voice suddenly that he did not recognize, “You need to let her go”

               “No”, he growled, almost against his will.

               I’m not leaving her.

               And if this was indeed her last moments, he was not going to let her go alone.

               I’m staying by her until the end.

               She deserves that much, for all that I’ve failed to give her.

               “Adam, you need to”, Nate’s gentle voice broke in, and he sighed, “They’ll be able to help her”

               “I’m not letting her go”, he said, barely aware of what he was even saying.

               Nate looked to the Agency paramedic, “Is there any possibly he can stay with her?”

               They shrugged, “He can”

               He felt a hand on his shoulder, and he finally relented, gently laying her down on the ground as if she was the precious thing in the world.

               Adam grabbed her limp hand, and he entwinned their fingers together, his hand almost completely covering her small one.

               “Commanding Agent”, he heard someone say again.

               He looked up, to see one of the paramedics, Thea’s locket in his hands. The locket that for as long as he had known her, was always around her neck. Adam did not know the significance of it, but he did know it was incredibly important to her

               “I think you should hang onto this”, they said, moving to place it in his free hand, and he could find no reason to argue against it.

               Adam ran his hands over it, as he had seen Thea do a million times, the metal smooth and warm to the touch. It was a piece of her, and it was almost strange to not see it where it usually was.

               It was not something that he felt like he deserved to hold on to, but he closed his hand around it anyway as the paramedic moved away.

               Please hold on for a little bit longer, Thea

               I still need you.

Wayhaven Chronicles Book 1 - Friendship Points Guide

Chapter 11 – Agency Hangout

By meeting up with one of the team, you can either get romance or friend points depending on your choices. I'll only list the friend points as the romance choices are pretty obvious.

Adam/Ava In front of their door. [[#Despite our differences, I respect A. It would be good to talk.]] +1 Adam/Ava

[[#"The boosted senses thing is true though, right?"]] --> [[#"That sounds pretty useful."]] +1 Adam/Ava --> [[#"I suppose I'll have to watch myself from now on then."]] +1 Mason/Morgan

Chapter 12 – Inspecting the Hospital

You can either choose to go to the hospital with A and F, or with N and M.

Going with A and F: N will take you to the side for a word. [[#"Thanks for worrying, but I'll be fine."]] +1 Nate/Nat [[#"If he's still lurking around the hospital, then he's dumber than we thought."]] +1 Nate/Nat

Can F help you with something? [[#"Actually yeah, I'm going to try and see what I can get off of this. Wanna help?"]] +1 Felix/Farah

A calls you by your first name. [[#"I don't mind at all. It was just unexpected."]] +1 Adam/Ava

If you wait with M. [[#"I came to check that you were all right."]] +1 Mason/Morgan

Speaking of dreams... [[#"Sorry, but my dreams don't involve anything to do with you."]] +1 Mason/Morgan

You stay with N. [[#"This obviously isn't part of your normal, day-to-day duties."]] +1 Nate/Nat

End of investigation. [[#"I'm used to only relying on myself…."]] +1 Mason/Morgan [[#"You're all vampires. That's pretty amazing! And surprisingly useful for investigations."]] +1 Nate/Nat [[#"Yes. It gives me confidence to be working with you all."]] +1 Nate/Nat, +1 Mason/Morgan

Chapter 13 – Unit Bravo moves in

Has the team grown on you? (only if you shot A in the warehouse) [[#…saying with a smile, "How could I not help but like you all?"]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#…saying, "Yeah, I guess I've come to like you all in the end."]] +1 Felix/Farah

F wants to talk to you. [[#"Come in. What's up?"]] +1 Felix/Farah

If you invite F in, they ask you how you're doing. [[#"I'm better now that I'm home, and in a familiar place."]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#"Still figuring it all out, but I'll get there."]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#"Me? Pfft! I'm the master of ignoring problems until I forget about them."]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#"To be honest, I don't think it's all really sunk in yet."]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#"Undecided. Thrilled to know about vampires and the supernatural…but not keen on being a target!"]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#"You don't have to worry about me. I'll be fine."]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#"Excited! A whole new world just opened up to me, more exciting than the human one."]] +1 Felix/Farah

Chapter 14 – Bakery and Thralls

You have a talk with N in the bakery. [[#"I'm grateful for your help with all of this, and for keeping me safe."]] +1 Nate/Nat [[#"Don't worry—I like having all of you around."]] +1 Nate/Nat [[#"If you keep buying me food, then you can stay for as long as you want."]] +1 Nate/Nat [[#"I've enjoyed having a team to work with."]] +1 Nate/Nat

Chapter 16 – Murphy arrives

In this chapter, you've already locked into the different romance paths and will be with the person you're romancing. If you don't romance anyone, M will accompany you. On the love triangle route, it's N.

Mason/Morgan M wants you to leave. [[#"I already left the others. I'm not leaving you too!"]] +1 Mason/Morgan [[#"…All right."]] +1 Mason/Morgan [[#"Fine, but only to get help. I'm coming back."]] +1 Mason/Morgan

DESCRIPTION

Raven haired and hazel eyed, Ash Langford tends to leave an impression.

A vibrant man who’s openly friendly and very perceptive to other peoples emotions. He’s warm and easy going but he’s also got a shrewdness to him which is why his career as a detective took off so quickly. Curiosity shapes many parts of Ash’s life as he always finds some new topic to bury his nose in; from languages to botany to medieval pottery.

At university he studied organic chemistry, but despite his degree he still went into law enforcement when it was suggested to him. Even though he always dreamed of leaving Wayhaven he couldn’t help but be drawn back to the town and it’s people; as well as the career that took his fathers life. Perhaps he stayed to become a detective to add some meaning to his fathers death.  

Despite his intelligence, there’s certainly a scatterbrained aspect to him, his office is so completely disorganised Tina gets headaches when she sits in there for too long.

His first encounter with Unit Bravo was a mixed bag to say the least.

Eventually he ended up building solid relationships with the entirety of the team. Nate and Felix both get along great with him. Ash’s mischievous temperament rises to the challenge whenever Felix has some wacky idea; and Nate’s sincerity is greatly appreciated by Ash, and they often find their ideals lining up exceptionally well.

Mason didn’t leave much of an impression on Ash at first, other than his incessant smoking in his damn office. After working together for a few months as a team, Ash came to realise the importance of Mason working in the team. How he fought without hesitation for his teammates against Murphy, even when the chance of coming out alive was so low.

Mason also came to appreciate the way Ash never backed down from conflict, how he’d always throw a punch back whenever someone tried to step on him.

Speaking of conflict, his first meeting with Adam did not go well at all, he quickly learned that the other man brings out the fiery side in him. Ash couldn’t stand Commander Du Mortain at first; horrified by his arrogance and bull-headed personality. Adams open hostility led to a number of blow out fights between the two, since Ash would certainly not let this man talk down to him in such condescending a way. Especially not at his precinct.

However, eventually Ash saw the better side of Adam; the one thats loyal and deeply devoted to those he cares about. As they found common ground they began getting along, finding mutual appreciation in each others perseverance and skill. Their vastly different personalities actually balanced the other out, making them mesh incredibly well when they actually listened to each other.

Ash also enjoys teasing Adam, trying to push his buttons and see what kind of reaction he can get. However, he has far too much pride to openly flirt with him, that would mean defeat in this battle of wits. Adam seemingly takes joy in riling up the other man from time to time as well; throwing little jibes just to see the way Ash’s eyes narrow and how his nose crinkles.

Even after their relationship had become a positive one, they still have genuine, heated arguments frequently enough that it strains Ash. The secretive and controlling side of Adam is something that bothers him more than he cares to admit.  

Deep down Ash knows just how much Adam cares for him; and how much he himself reciprocates those feelings. It’s something he would never bring up from fear of Adams reaction. Not that he would ever admit that.

Also, yes he dated Bobby in college, and no he doesn’t know why he did it either.

F U N   F A C T S

1.       After Ash’s penultimate fight with Bobby that led to the latter finally getting kicked out; Ash set fire to his £400 cashmere blazer while standing on the balcony as Bobby watched in horror. He still doesn’t feel bad.

2.       Ash and Verda once got so incredibly hammered while peer reviewing someone’s scientific paper on forensic toxicology, that they ended their review by calling the authors a bunch of half brained pillocks who wouldn’t know the difference between NADH and NADPH if it swung a bat in their face. Verda is currently barred from writing anything for the Journal of Forensic Science.

3.       Ash is extremely allergic to any type of nut. A first date with a very handsome lawyer ended with Ash viciously throwing up over the dinner table after two mouthfuls of contaminated food. The lawyer still ended up sleeping with him.

4.       During a fight with Adam, Ash once got so angry that he burst a blood vessel in his eye. Adam immediately tried to call the Agency paramedics, which just started another fight.

5.       Once while driving he accidentally hit a woodpecker that flew into his front window. He was late to work that day because cried for 30 minutes in his car on the side of the road. At the station when Tina asked him what was wrong, he told her that Douglas had given him a PB&J sandwich.

6. Ash has Adam listed in his phone as COMMANDER ANGST in all caps.

7.       After finding out that Adam hated puns, Ash made it his personal mission to find the most obnoxiously lame puns known to man. He and Felix have competitions who can make the most in the shortest amount of time. Once Ash made a pun so bad Adam accidentally punched a hole in the wall of his office.

8.       When Tane hit on him during his first meeting with Unit Alpha, Ash was 1000% into it. He did not appreciate Adams cock-blocking.

9.       Felix loves asking Ash about random topics and listening to him waffle on for ages about the most obscure aspects of human history and culture. While Adam pretends it annoying, he secretly loves listening to them as well.

10.   Ash did in fact attack Mason with a fire extinguisher after he lit a cigarette in his office one too many times.

Small Detective Ask Game

1. What's their name and how do they look?

Amelia Jane Winters - extremely pale,tall,platinum blonde hair,green eyes,slim build,probably covered in bruises.

2. Why did they join the police?

She joined the police because it was the best job that could put her skills to good use.She needed a challenging action packed job and police work was her best bet.Catching bad people was also an added bonus.

3. How did they get the promotion to detective and what do they think about it?

Amelia is very dedicated and good at what she does.She basically lives at the station.Her work as an officer was also impressive so promoting her seemed like the right decision . She wanted to deny the promotion - the fact that it was extremely rushed wasn’t the problem,she could easily adjust to her new position but being detective just wasn’t for her,sure she could use her mind more but she’d rather stop crimes from happening and be on the field where the action is.Eventually, she accepted the fact that the station needed her and put all her energy into doing everything that was required of her.This job is it for her after all.

4. Can they handle blood/gore?

Absolutely.She has no problem looking at the most messed up shit and not being affected.She’s pretty much numb to everything.

5. How are they with people?

Amelia is not the warmest person - at all.She’s cold,stoic,definitely not a people pleaser and can come off as quite intimidating - but she’s extremely genuine and people gravitate towards her and find her charming.That still confuses her a lot.She doesn’t hate people,she’s just very indifferent towards them.

6. What's their relationship to Bobby?

They met a couple of times.He can be very annoying because she doesn’t have the time to deal with his obnoxious questionings.She can’t quite figure out if he’s actually smart or really really stupid .Needs time to consider him as an actual threat.

7. Who is their Love Interest and why?

Nate - this man makes her feel things.She’s never met a more genuine ,caring person than him.He warms her cold heart. She knows he’s not pretending and that he really cares for her and most importantly he makes her want to love and be loved - no one’s been able to accomplish that before.

8. What's their relationship with their mom like? How did it change?

When she was younger Amelia completely understood her mother and the importance of her job and she was quick to fill the gap that Rebecca left in her life.She completely replaced Rebecca and learned to do everything by herself so she wouldn’t need her anymore - and she didn’t. Their relationship was tense because Rebecca always wanted to ‘play mother’ while Amelia had no interest in any sort of relationship with her.She doesn’t really consider Rebecca her mother - more like her boss.She was really angry at her for not telling the truth about UB or the agency because it compromised her work and was damn right insulting.But after that she managed to understand where Rebecca was coming from.She still had no interest in forming a relationship with Rebecca and i don’t think that will change.

9. What do they think of the supernatural?

The reveal was naturally shocking but she’s accepting.It didn’t take her long to rewrite everything she knew about the world in her head and was eager to learn anything and everything that she can.

10. How well did they handle the reveal that the supernatural exists?

Awfully calm.She knew something shady was going on with UB and now she finally knew what.She had her suspicions of course but she never had any proof and was happy to learn she was right.

11. Do they have any tattoos/ piercings?

She pierced her ears and has only one tattoo ( a small heart on the inside of her wrist).

12. What is their highest (professional) stat and why?

Combat - she doesn’t enjoy violence per say but knows that most people aren’t just going to turn themselves in peacefully,she needs to know how to protect herself (and others) and how to eliminate any threat that gets in her way.She  does take pleasure from a good fight tho.

13. What's their opinion of the Mayor?

Indifferent.She knows he’s an asshole but she doesn’t really care.She’s just there to do her job.

14. Do they get along with Tina and Verda?

She gets along with both of them but Verda is more her speed.They’re both professional and hard-working.They have endless discussions and debates about scientific matters that Tina finds boring.Amelia admires Tina for her cheerfulness but she can be a bit much for her sometimes.

15. What do they think of Unit Bravo? How has that changed throughout the story?

From the moment she met them she knew they were the ones from the warehouse - she just needed proof.She thought they were rude and unprofessional because (most of them) refused to work with her and treat her as an equal.

Now they have given her what she always wanted - a family. She took what Felix said to heart - they’re a family and they stick together.

Adam - they did not get get off on a good start,she shot him after all and she wasn’t going to stand for his disrespect in her station.He was their leader - he was supposed to set a good example but was acting like the biggest diva out of them all.Later on the tension between them was subdued and they figured out that they had more in common than they thought.They’re both good under pressure,great fighters,cautious and professional. Not to mention stoic,emotionally constipated etc etc.They respect each other as capable teammates  

Felix - she suprisingly warmed up to him,yes he made her roll her eyes a couple of times with his badly timed jokes and his attitude towards work but she still found him kind of endearing.He teases both her and Nate a lot but she does appreciate him and everything he contributes to the team.

Mason - she was very annoyed at him at first because of his unprofessionalism and constant complaining but she did appreciate the fact that he was mostly quiet and didn’t bother her much,now they are both on the path to being  best friends ( they wouldn’t be caught dead saying it),they have similar views on people and relationships,they admire each other’s skills and have an unspoken connection of support.

16. Do they have any pets?

No - she doesn’t have the time and doesn’t need distractions.

17. What are their hobbies?

She likes to train and read about old,interesting cases.She also paints but only when she really has time.

18. What do they think of Douglas?

She thinks he needs to grow a back bone and be more responsible.He’s almost an adult and needs to take his job more seriously and make a life for himself.But she does sympathise with him - considering what his home life must be like.

19. What does their apartment look like?

Minimalistic, white walls,clean furniture,kind of a mix of tidy and messy,she didn’t decorate it tho so it can seem really empty and that tells you more about her than any poster of decoration ever could.

20. What is their personality?

Cold,stoic,almost robot like,professional,focused,driven,indifferent most of the time,hard-working,justice driven,realistic,tactful,calculated but does have a soft side in there (UB makes her want to smile and crack jokes,she lets mushy gushy things like that slip out sometimes).Deep down she does have warmth that might even match Nate’s,self-sacrificial,doesn’t have any close friends,family members,pets or boyfriends - it’s just her and her job. Doesn’t really know if she likes to be alone or if she’s been alone for so long she’s just used to it. Doesn’t really consider herself very pleasant.

21. Their favourite/comfort food?

Donuts - with sprinkles.Has a sweet tooth.

22. Do they go to the bar or stay at the station?

Stays at the station. Doesn’t like crowded places but Tina does get to drag her there quite often.

23. Their gender/sexuality?

Straight female.

24. How did they handle the fight with Murphy? Did they get bitten?

She managed to escape,as much as she wanted to fight him head on she knew that she had to pick her battles and saved her energy,she made a trap instead,they caught him and she didn’t get bitten - she figured out his weakness and inflicted some damage.

25. What do they usually wear? Has that changed?

Pressed shirts and pants along with the huge coat she wears and some boots. In book two she started wearing something a little more casual - like blouses and jeans.

Detective asks - your two mains or all four! Qs 1 3 8 15 24

Yay! thanks for playing!  This will get long so I’m going to (try) to put it under a cut!

1) What’s their name and how do they look? Ainsley Greene, 26: Has long light brown hair with a heavy fringe that they usually wear in a ponytail or a very messy bun on top of their head. Their eyes are a hazel leaning towards light green, what people can tell from behind their oversized glasses anyway. 5′5″ with a not exactly fit figure, but they do tend to go for long walks or bike rides, so they’re in decent shape. Fair skinned Tamsin Langley, 29: Messy honey blonde hair somewhere between chin and shoulder length and looks like they’ve probably been growing out a shorter hair cut. Tamsin has light brown eyes with some permanent dark circles underneath. about 5′9″, they’re fairly slim because they live on coffee and tend to get caught up in work and not take much time for meals. They also have fair skin, but theirs is also in part due to spending a lot of time indoors. Kira Lin, 24: Kira has darker skin, curly dark brown hair that she wears tied back most of the time, and light grey eyes. She’s about 5′7″ and has a curvier build Emma Langford, 25: Emma has pale skin, freckles, and wavy long auburn hair with big blue eyes. She’s about 5′3″ and also curvy and forever salty about being short Melanie (Mel) Kingston, 30: Mel is about 5′9″ with tanned skin, caramel colored hair that’s pretty much always tied back in a messy french braid, and warm light brown eyes. She also has a scattering of freckles on her nose. She’s probably in the best shape of all my mc’s, so she’s definitely toned. Elliott (Lio) Batra, 23: He’s about 6 ft tall with light olive skin, dark brown almost black hair, and dark blue eyes. His hair is just the right length to be constantly flopping into his eyes. He also has very expressive eyebrows.

3) How did they get the promotion to detective and what do they think about it? Ainsley: They worked hard to get the promotion and they’re excited about it! Tamsin: They didn’t really expect or want the promotion, but they weren’t going to turn it down either. Kira: She also worked hard for the promotion, but she still thinks she only got it because the spot opened up, so she’s determined to work even harder Emma: is excited about the promotion, but she wasn’t trying to get promoted. She’s well aware it’s because the post opened up, but is determined to do her best anyway! Mel: Worked hard for the promotion and expected to receive it. She doesn’t feel excited about it because she felt she’d done the work to earn it and no one else really had. Elliott: He’s a little overwhelmed by the promotion. Excited and honored, but really wasn’t expecting it and isn’t sure what to do about it.

8) What’s their relationship with their mom like? How did it change? I need to work on this for my MC’s because i tend to give them all some variation of the close options, so they all end up having a good relationship with Rebecca. I imagine Emma and Mel actually have the worst relationships with Rebecca, but I haven’t exactly decided to what extent yet.

15) What do they think of Unit Bravo? How has that changed throughout the story? Ainsley: Ainsley was initially a little nervous to work with them, but looked forward to it. They’re generally optimistic though they struggled to get along with Adam because he was too bossy and with Mason for his attitude. They instantly got along with Nate and Felix. Nate because he’s so friendly and kind, and Felix because he appreciated their sense of humor and puns (the rest of UB have regretted this ever since). In book two, they’ve come to learn a bit more about everyone and have become surprisingly good friends with everyone. Tamsin: Was initially a little put out about working with another crew, concerned that the town (and possibly Rebecca) felt they couldn’t handle the job on their own. On meeting them, they were unimpressed, but decided to put their personal disgruntlement aside for the good of the town. They got along fairly well with everyone except Adam because they clashed over how to go about solving the murders. It got a little better after the attack on the thralls and they finally learned the truth, but they were still mad about the time wasted by them not knowing. In book two, they’re still not close friends with Adam, but they get along very well with everyone else, and they trust UB just implicitly I need to work this out a bit more for my other MC’s to have a little more variation in there!

24) How did they handle the fight with Murphy? Did they get bitten? Ainsley: Not well! Not well at all! Murphy bit them in the neck, and he got away. They tried to work out a plan, but were too exhausted to succeed. Tamsin: They managed to work out and successfully pull off a tripwire against Murphy so that they were able to catch him, but only after getting bitten in the neck and UB distracted him. Kira: Also gets bitten, on the wrist this time because she tried to fight back, but she was also able to work out a way to distract him so UB could drug and capture him. Emma: tiny fighty girl also did not do well. Got bitten and Murphy just barely managed to escape. Mel: Mel came, kicked ass and took names.  She didn’t get bitten and together with UB captured Murphy Elliott: Also managed to not get bitten and to capture Murphy, but it was a close call

first line tag game

thank you for the tag @amlovelies! 🤍

Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favourite opening line. Then tag some of your favourite authors!

1. pranks (litg: bobby/mc)

“Hey Jenna!” Bobby jogs over to join her as she walks back in through the front door, and she raises an eyebrow at his cheerier-than-usual demeanor.

“Did I miss anything while I was away?” she asks, returning his smile all the same because his happiness is infectious

2. love or money (litg: bobby/mc)

Bobby’s eyes cracked open, peering into the darkness like every other morning. He always woke up before the lights came on. Even after a month in the Villa, for a split second he forgot where he was and a pang of panic shot through him when he felt Amanda shift beside him before the last twenty-nine days came flooding back to him, and he allowed himself the tiniest of smug smirks.

3. when bobby met lani (litg: bobby/mc) explicit, minors dni

The beer's cheap and nasty, the bouncers are more interested in hitting on the girls coming through the door than actually providing any kind of security detail, and the male talent is… subpar. The music's half okay though, Lani thinks to herself as she chokes down the last of the God awful beer she'd ordered. The barman, who's barely taken his eyes off of her since she sat down, nods toward her empty bottle with his eyebrows raised.

4. the one that got away, chapter 23 (litg: bobby/f!oc) main story is explicit, minors dni

His phone beeping and vibrating across Tash's nightstand woke Bobby up. He groaned and squinted at it, the small light flashing in the corner indicating a text message. He heard Tash groan from where her face was pressed into his back as he reached out for it.

"What're you doing?" she murmured as she shifted to lay her head on his chest when he rolled onto his back, squeezing her eyes closed against the sudden light.

"I got a text, sorry."

"How much did it take for you not to yell that?"

He felt her grin against him and chuckled, "not as much as it used to."

5. keep on running, chapter 8 (litg: bobby/god knows honestly the boy was a ho)

Bobby slips his phone, keys and wallet into his pockets and steps out from behind the counter of the music store, ready to head home, but stops short when he sees Gary standing just inside the door waiting for him. He offers a small smile, which Bobby doesn’t return as he tries to walk past him and out onto the street. Gary’s arm shoots out, his hand on Bobby’s chest to stop him from moving, and he sighs and looks over at him.

6. while the cats are away, chapter 3 (litg: bobby&f!oc)

As usual Bobby was the first to wake up, and had quietly made his way to the bathroom to shower and get ready for the day while he had a few moments of peace. By the time he was done and heading back out to the bedroom, he was passing some of the others on their way to the bathroom. Tash was perched up on the edge of their bed waiting for him, holding a cup out to him as he made his way closer to the bed.

7. untitled (litg: ????)

Noah sat at their usual booth in the back of the bar, running his finger around the rim of his glass before letting out a sigh and checking the time on his phone again. He’d arrived early so he knew he had no business being impatient, but he’d needed to get out of that damn house, away from Hope.

It had been bad enough when they’d been playing nice. Watching her smile to his face while knowing that she was more than likely trashing him to whoever would listen as soon as his back was turned. Not that he had a right to be pissed off about that lately; he’d been doing the same thing for the last few weeks. But since signing the divorce papers, Hope had become a she-devil straight from the depths of Hell.

8. 25 (holi)days of wayhaven, day 31 (twc: adam/f!detective)

They’ve come a long way, and both of them feel it whenever they’re together. A long way from Jordan deliberately riling him up because she knew that just about everything she did irritated him. A long way from Adam going out of his way to spend as little time with her as possible.

It’s taken them a long time to realise that they were doing these things - leaning into their dislike for each other - as a way to distract themselves from the fact that they have always liked each other. Maybe they’ve always loved each other, though neither of them are willing to say that out loud.

9. untitled (twc: felix/f!detective)

Felix can't sit still. It's not as though it's unusual for him by any means, but it seems to be exaggerated when he's spent the last six hours in a place where there is literally nothing to do.

He's slumped on the chair beside the hospital bed, slouched down so low that his ass isn't even on the seat anymore, one of his legs jiggling up and down and both hands drumming erratically on his knees.

He lets out an impatient sigh and sits upright again, taking his hat off and running a hand through his hair.

10. sick like me, chapter 20 (litg: bobby/mc) explicit, minors dni

It had happened slowly, so slowly that if Lani hadn’t found herself (mostly) weirdly excited about it she might not have even noticed that it was happening. But Bobby was most definitely moving in, slowly but surely. It started with little things, a change of clothes here and there, some toiletries, until she was helping him sell off some of his bigger furniture, stuff that they both knew wouldn’t fit into Lani’s apartment.

After a few weeks, the two of them stood in the middle of what used to be his living room but was now nothing more than an empty space, as Bobby turned his keys over and over in his hand.

11. fire meet gasoline, chapter 4 (twc: morgan/m!oc)

She'd expected him to dress down a little, seeing that they are likely venturing into a sewer this morning. But all that's missing is his jacket; he's still wearing his usual long sleeve dress shirt and vest though his sleeves have been partially folded back, revealing the smallest glimpse of a tattoo on the outside of his right forearm.

"You know you're probably going to get covered in crap, right?"

"Wrong. But if you want to keep doubting me, go right ahead," he grins an obnoxiously cocky grin at her before turning and heading around the warehouse towards the sewers.

12. 28 dates with unit bravo, day 10 (twc: morgan/m!oc)

She doesn't like him. He's hot, that's all. And kind of cocky and kind of an asshole and what can she say? Morgan's into it. Maybe it's because he's the same as her; not relationship material by a long shot, but she has a feeling he knows his way around the bedroom. Probably the kitchen, bathroom and any number of outdoor locations as well. That, and he’s hot.

13. untitled (twc: adam/f!detective)

He can hear her pacing the hall outside of his room. She pauses every time she passes his door, and everytime she does he tenses, only to relax again just slightly when she returns to pacing.

Part of him wants to throw his door open and drag her into his room. Another part wants to stick his head out the door and order her to return to her room and stop shuffling around outside of his. But a part bigger than both of them makes him stay put, sitting on the edge of his bed and carefully unlacing his boots.

14. luck of the unit, day 20 (twc: adam/f!detective)

"Say another one!" Jordan can barely get the words out between gasps of laughter, only becoming more hysterical every time she catches a glimpse of the unimpressed expression on Adam’s face.

“This is hardly the best use of your time here,” he points out, pausing to gesture around the study, “you are supposed to be studying.”

“I am studying, I’m learning a foreign language,” she insists with a defiant nod, and when his shoulders sag in defeat she knows she’s got him. “Come on, another one.”

15. untitled (tanner, not fanfic)

"Does it hurt?"

"Nah."

"Liar."

Tanner pauses for a moment, unable to hold back a wince when the tattooist starts again. "Little bit."

Skylar grins at him and sits up straight in the seat again, smiling smugly at him before spinning the seat and herself around in a circle.

"Dad's gonna kill you," she points out when she finally stops herself from spinning, and Tanner rolls his eyes at her.

16. echoes in the forest, chapter 13 (twc: adam/f!detective)

“I got a bad feeling about this,” Felix murmurs quietly, trudging along between Nate and Mason. Jordan and Adam are walking up ahead close by the boy as he continues wandering through the forest.

“You mean you haven’t felt that way since we got here?” Mason scoffs, not bothering to lift his eyes from the ground in front of him.

“Yeah, but worse now,” Felix answers, and Nate places a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

“It will be alright,” he tries, but somehow Felix doesn’t find himself as reassured as he usually does when Nate attempts to comfort him.

oop, didn’t quite make 20. and jfc did i have to dive down to the bottom of the barrel to get what i did, some of these were almost a year ago. i’m noticing now that i start with a character’s name more often than not. honestly i don’t think i can pick a favourite, i’ve been thinking on it for like 15 minutes now and i honestly dunno.

and i know some of you think that you know everything that i have written even if it hasn’t been/isn’t to be posted... and i know that seeing this list of untitleds, you may be surprised and i’m sorry lol.

gonna tag @dwead-piwate-meggers @mistyeyedbi @masonscig @echohauville and @agentsunshine (no pressure ofc!) and to anyone else who wants to get in on this, tag me!
