I'm the first one to admit I didn't like Rhonda. But she didn't deserve to die like that.

[kawaiigirly21]

I know I'm so SUPER late but I wanna write an Empire story where my of is the twin of Hakeem and just dealing with her family antics. She won't have much drama on her own but she tries to navigate through her family's. She'll be a singer on the label and regularly team up with Jamal. Definitely a Daddy's girl at heart and the MOST spoiled. She's attached to Cookie once she returns from jail and she practically worships the ground Andre walks on

Ungodly Hour, ch. 1

Fallon sat in one of the recording studios with her father and Anika, notebook in hand. She wasn't sure why she was there, since she wasn't the one who would be inside the booth. The one inside the booth was V, one of the artists signed to Empire. Fallon rolled her eyes as V started singing. She didn't have anything against her, she just wished Lucious would actually let her sing the song she helped write. He said it would be a duet, and here Fallon was, on the outside of the booth, listening to V sing solo.

I would tell you that I love you tonight, But I know that I've got time on my side, Where you going? Why you leavin' so soon? Is there somewhere else that's better for you?

"That's not balanced," Lucious told the sound guy, adjusting the levels as V kept singing. Fallon sighed, resting her chin on her fist. It wasn't the sound, it was V. The song lacked emotion. Seemed like Lucious felt the same, since he stopped the track in the middle of her singing. "I need you to sing like you are going to die tomorrow. Like this is the last song you will ever sing. You hear me? Show me your soul in this music." He looked at the sound guy. "Hit it again."

He started the track again, and V picked up where she left off.

I would tell you that I love you tonight, But I know that I've got time on my side, Where you going? Why you leaving so soon? Is there somewhere else that's better for you? What is love, If you're not here with me? What is love, If it's not guaranteed? What is love, If it just ups..?

V stopped singing, waiting for a reaction from Lucious. He was quiet, spaced out. Fallon stood up, putting her hand on her father's shoulder. "Dad." He finally came back, noticing the eyes on him.

"You okay, boss man?" the sound guy asked.

"It's not there yet," Lucious said, standing up.

"Still?" Anika asked, watching him walk.

"Bunkie, wake up," Lucious told his cousin, who was currently having a power nap on one of the couches. "Wake your ass up!" He walked into the booth with V.

"Nik," Fallon called, getting her attention. She stood next to her. "Is Dad okay?" This wasn't the first time Lucious has zoned out in the middle of something. In these last few months, it seemed Lucious had been paying no attention to her at all. He didn't do much of that before, but now he didn't even do the bare minimum.

Anika looked down at Fallon, arms folded. "You know how your father is. He's just stressed," she dismissed. Fallon didn't think that was fully true, but didn't say anything.

"Yeah, I heard we were going public."

"How'd you find out about that?" Fallon looked at Anika with a knowing look. "Becky?" Fallon nodded. That girl couldn't keep a secret to save her life. The two chuckled as Lucious walked out of the booth, telling the sound guy to hit it again, for the third time.

And there it was. The emotion that was missing. She finally pulled it together. She sounded good, as much as Fallon hated to admit it. But V was her friend, so she was happy for her.

"Wow," Fallon smiled.

"She is truly magical," Lucious mused. "I mean, her voice, her lyrics–"

Fallon didn't hear the last part of his sentence. Her lyrics. Her lyrics? Most of the lines V was singing were written by Fallon, and he had the nerve to call the lyrics hers?

"Right," Fallon scoffed, leaving the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I don't like it," Imani put her hands on her hips. She and Jamal were playing around, making a beat for a song Jamal wrote. Empire was throwing a yacht party, and all of the Lyons were there, enjoying themselves. Andre was walking around with his wife, Ronda, Hakeem was preoccupied with women in bikinis, feeding him shrimp, and Fallon was probably somewhere with Anika.

"What?" Jamal asked, letting the headphones rest on his neck. "You think you can do better than me or somethin'?"

Imani nodded, "Absolutely. May I?"

Jamal chuckled. "A'ight," he nodded. "Go for it."

Imani pulled her locs up into a ponytail as Jamal slid over on the seat in front of the piano. "I would do something like this." She played a few notes as Jamal held the headphones in between them so they both could hear the music. She smiled, seeing her brother bopping his head to the new beat.

Jamal nodded his head, smiling. "Okay," he nudged Imani. "I like that."

"You're welcome," Imani stood from the seat, seeing Hakeem coming down the stairs.

"Don't get cocky, now," Jamal chuckled.

"Empire state of mind," Hakeem started, making his way down the stairs. "Let's go!" He danced his way over to the soundboard. Imani laughed as the two shared the soundboard, moving in sync as they made a beat together.

Things are looking up, I'm ready for tonight, I feel good, real good, Can't nobody hold me down, I'm gonna take advantage of, All these flashing lights, Cause it's the best time, the best time for it, We can do it,

Imani laughed, moving away from the soundboard over to Jamal. She pulled her phone up to her lips, using it as a makeshift microphone.

Can't nobody tie me down, If you want I got it, Tomorrow's not promised,

Jamal laughed, looking up at his sister. She just read the lyrics for the song five minutes before they started playing around. And there she was, singing it like she wrote it. Just completely care free. He loved to see it.

So live inside the mo...ment, Tell me, what are we waiting for? Oh, what the hell are we waiting for?

Imani looked up at the balcony, seeing the oldest Lyon, Andre, standing there, looking over them with Ronda. She smiled, throwing them a wave. Andre gave a nod, and Ronda smiled down at her.

Hakeem moved away from the soundboard, adjusting the hat on his head. He stepped around Imani, starting to freestyle.

Yo, Mal, Yo, when I was five years old, I realized there was a road at the end, Pretty girls, cars and bank rolls, Gold and platinum plaques...

Imani danced around, making her way to the front of the piano. She sat down next to Jamal, watching his fingers glide across the keys. Hakeem continued freestyling.

Gotta believe in yourself and gotta know your worth, I did it clean as a whistle, stayed away from dirt, Ah, I told you I'mma get it, Everybody, they talkin' I dreamt about how I'm livin' Reality was written, I put effort in my vision, That's why I hustle so hard, To be the best that ever did it, oh!

Hakeem snatched the sunglasses off of his face, looking at his siblings. Those three were a force to be reckoned with whenever they sang together. If Fallon was with them, she'd add a whole new dimension to the sound with her enchanting, almost siren-like voice. Those four together would send Empire off the charts, if Lucious ever gave Jamal, Imani, and Fallon the time of day.

Matthew Lyons on Christian Nationalism(s)

This is a conversation with Matthew Lyons, antifascist researcher, contributor to Three Way Fight Blog and author of, among other books, Insurgent Supremacists: The U.S. Far Right’s Challenge to State and Empire and contributor to the recent AK Press compilation, No Pasarán: Antifascist Dispatches from a World in Crisis (edited by Shane Burley). For the hour, Matthew talks about Christian Nationalist and theonomic tendencies and movements like New Apostolic Reformation, Dominionism, reactionary Catholicism and Christian Reconstructionism to learn more about how they interrelate or conflict with other far right tendencies in the so-called USA and the ongoing assault on bodily autonomy, abortion access and cis-hetero-patriarchy.

Next Week…

We’re hoping to bring you voices from graduate student workers and other workers on strike in the University of California system and possibly beyond for this coming Sunday’s show.

Announcement

Support Colombian 2021 Strike Prisoners

There is still repression being felt by those swept up by the state during the 2021 National Strike in Cali, Colombia and there’s a fundraising effort for the Paso del Aguante 6 who are facing up to 50 years in prison for participating in the strike. The Colombia Freedom Collective is happy to announce that Christian Andres Aguilar has been released at 14 months of pre-trail detention, though he’s not out of danger yet. You can learn more about the cases of the Paso del Aguante 6 and how to support their defense efforts at: https://colombiafreedomcollective.org/christian-andres-aguilar-released-after-14-months-of-pretrial-detention/

Bad News #62

Check out the latest episode of Bad News: Angry Voices from Around The World from the International A-Radio Network. This month features two really good interviews you may not have heard from Frequenz-A: a chat with a member of Feminist Anti-War Resistance, a movement against the militarism of the Russian state and the war in Ukraine; a conversation with Berlin-based advocates for Alfredo Cospito, Juan, Anna and Ivan hunger striking in Italy against 41 bis. These are alongside shorter versions of our recent chats on heaters in Albuquerque, updates on Eric King & Oso Blanco's situations and the struggle against Camp Grayling.

Suppport TFSR

We are entering a period of recording fury. Patreon supporters will get early access to interviews as we get them edited down, as well as behind the scenes conversations between the producers. Upcoming releases include Mitchell Verter, co-author of the 2005 AK Press book, Dreams of Freedom: A Ricardo Flores Magón Reader speaking around the 100th anniversary of the murder by incarceration by the US state of the Mexican anarchist communist revolutionary, RFM, and discussion of his legacy. Another is a conversation with Rhiannon Firth on her recently published book, Disaster Anarchy: Mutual Aid and Radical Action, out from Pluto Press. You can find our patreon at patreon.com/tfsr

Though we’re releasing some content early to patreon supporters, we won’t be paywalling it permanently. Our fundraising goes to operating costs, equipment, and paying our transcribers. We’ve been transcribing each interview we’ve conducted and making them available as zines on our website for coming up on 2 years now, and going back to transcribe past episodes to boot. This makes these important conversations available for translation, for easier access to folks who are more comfortable reading or for whom English is a second language, as well as getting the content more easily into prisoners, reading groups and passers-by’s hands so as to include more people in the discussion.

For other ways to support our project monetarily, there’s merch and donation options at tfsr.wtf/support. For non-money support, we could always use ratings on apple, google and amazon podcasts or mentions and boosts on social media (including on Mastodon and Castopod), examples can be found at tfsr.wtf. Telling others about the project is also a great way to help us expand our audience. If you have a story you’d like covered, you can find ways to contact us there we well!

Finally, if you have a community or college radio station that you’d like to hear our weekly, free, 58 minute episode air on for any weirdo with an antenna and receiver to pick up, help us out by visiting tfsr.wtf/radio to learn more. Thanks for the support!

Just Business (Andre Lyon x black!reader)

Summary: You are having an affair with Andre Lyon.

Notes: GIF is not mine, all mistakes are my own, sexual themes

--

You were halfway done with parting your hair for crochet twists when you heard your doorbell ring. Walking down the hall, you finished your part before you open the door. Andre's lips twitched when he saw your hair. "Don't even start," you turn around and made your way back to the bathroom.

"You look like Cynthia from Rugrats," "Shut up," you say with a chuckle. He follows you into the bathroom and wrapped his arms around your waist, burying his face in your neck. He grinds himself against your ass. "Andre, you are not getting none when I look like this,"

"I don't care if you were bald. I would bend you over just like this," his hands slide down to your thighs, pulling your hips back and pushing your chest into the sink. "Absolutely not," you pull away from his touch and body bump him away.

"What did you need, Dre? Or did you come by just to chill?" He cups your cheeks and pressed his warm lips to yours. His hum vibrated your chest and gave your waist a squeeze. "Just came by to chill," he says against your lips. "How long are you staying?" "However long you need me to stay,"

He tilts his head as he met your gaze. You bit your lip and slide your hands down his chest. "Order some food while I put on the music. I'm going to put you to work today,"

"Wouldn't have it any other way," he gives your lips a quick peck before leaving to order the food.

A part of you feels bad for messing around with a married man. Like many things involving love, you didn't plan this. When it came to men, you were as mean as a junk yard dog. You were happily single and hated when people disturbed your inner peace.

When you were first hired as Chief Information Officer for Empire. You worked hard and you worked smart. You allowed yourself to be consumed by your work. Then one night, both you and Andre stayed late at Empire. You were on your way out when you saw him in his office, growing frustrated.

You knocked on the door and asked if there was anything you could do the help. You became his first call for a lot of things. He walked you to your car after one night of drinks and he tried to kiss you. You quickly shut it down and he's been after you ever since.

You had him jump through hoops and he did every one. You finally gave him a chance after months of trailing. He came by a couple times a week to do anything you wanted. To say he trailed after you like a lost puppy was an understatement. It started to show at the work place until you whipped him into shape.

You made him better. You made him feel like he was normal. Not like he was some monster without his meds.

**

Andre called you into his office as soon as you clocked in. You hid your nervousness through your long strides as you made your way into his office. "You called?" He motions for you to close the door. "Is everything alright, Andre?"

"We can't do this anymore," you closed your mouth and nodded softly. "Okay, is that all?" You turned to open the door but he calls for you to stop.

You slowly turn to face him. "I'm in the church now and I have to refrain from any sins.. you make me think sinful thoughts." He explains.

You scoff in disbelief and approach his desk. "I have no control over your thoughts, and I am not to blame for them. I did not spread my legs as soon as you flashed a smile at me. I made you work for that shit and you put in the work. So don't you dare painted me as some desperate ho like Anita." You snap.

"We're done. All business calls will be on my office phone. Any calls to my phone will be ignored." "Y/N, baby," he starts. "No, it's done, Andre." You pulled open the door and walk out like nothing happened.

You walked to your office and sat in your chair with a huff. You're definitely going out for drinks tonight. How could you have been so stupid? You really thought that you could have an affair with your bosses son who was married?

How did you think that was going to end, with a happy ever after? That might have been what you hoped for but it definitely wasn't what you got.

You were on your break when Cookie passed you in the hallway. "Damn baby, you clench your jaw anymore and you'll snap it into half." Cookie comments. "Huh? Oh! Right, sorry." "What are you sorry about?" You shook your head for a moment.

"Oh come on, say whatever you need to say. It's clearly eating you up." She says after she pulls you into her office. "I've been played. A guy played me good." You said.

"It happens to the best of us, honey. Don't beat yourself up about it. Tell you what, me and you can go out for drinks after your shift?"

"Oh no, Ms. Lyon, you don't have to do that." "Girl please, you've been hustlin' since they hired you here. You deserve the spotlight. Hell, you deserve a promotion." "Thank you, Ms. Lyon," "Please, call me Cookie." "Hey, Mom. I need your h-" Andre stops once he steps into her office.

"Where you headed for lunch? I'll meet you there after I talk with Andre." "Russo's across the street," "Meet you there, honey." You didn't spare Andre a glance when you left the office.

**

"How long?" Lucious asks Andre, whose eyes never left you as soon as you stepped foot into Leviticus. "What?" "How long have you two been messing around with each other?"

"Seven months. I broke things off to save my marriage with Rhonda... But I can't stop thinking about her," You danced with Cookie on the bridge in club.

Cookie took you under your wing after you told her about the 'guy'. Of course she didn't know she didn't know this guy was her son.

Cookie moved away once she saw a man holding your hips from behind. You looked to her and she sends you a nod with a wink. You leaned into him and his grip on your waist tightened. You cringed at the lack of tenderness and pulled away from him.

"Don't touch me," you tell him when you saw him reaching for you. "Oh come on, baby. Don't be like that." "I'm not your baby." You snap and walked away from him. Andre stands when the man grabs your wrist and Luscious chuckles.

"What's so funny?" "She has you wrapped around her finger and she didn't want anything to do with you in the first place," "You're really giving her all that power?" He adds. Andre sent him a glare but smiles when he sees you grip the man's hand tightly and twisted until he fell to his knees.

"When I say don't touch me, I mean that shit." You told the man before letting go of his hand. You walked over to the bar and ordered a martini. He sits back down and runs a hand over his face. "Go talk to her," "Uh uh, she can be real mean when she wants to. She would rip my head off."

"Sounds like her and Cookie are more similar than you thought," "I haven't felt this way about since my first love in high school," "Maybe she's the one," "Yeah, she could be.. I'll talk to her later on tonight," "You mean if she doesn't rip your head off,"

**

Andre has been trying to talk to you for a week now. You used every excuse in the book and now you're running out.

"I'm coming over tonight. I'm not leaving until we talk," he texts you and you scowl at your phone. "If I talk to you, will you leave me alone?" Three dots show up on the bottom right corner. "If that's what you want," you left him on read and put your phone in the drawer.

You stayed in your office for the majority of the day until you heard screaming and crashing. You stood and cautiously walked towards the door, not knowing what I would see on the other side.

Your office phone rings, sending a jolt of fear through you. You answer the phone and it was Lucious. "Sir?" "Andre needs you in the conference room,"

"How did you.. doesn't matter. I'm on my way," you rush down the hall and slam on the elevator button. "Who did you call?" Cookie asks. "Y/N," "What? Why would she be.. Andre was the one she was talking about, wasn't she?"

They look to Rhonda, who heard their conversation. It was times like these that you hated being on the eighth floor. The elevators open and you click the floor to the lobby.

Your heart pattered in your chest as the elevator seems like it was move a millimeter a minute. The elevator finally dings and you rush out of the elevator and towards the conference room. Andre yells at a blonde woman, you assume that was Andre's wife.

"Andre," you state softly. He continued to yell and you slowly stepped between them. "Andre," you repeat. You lift your hand in front of you and he stares at it before lifting his own to hold yours. "You're not wherever you are. You are safe with me in the conference room."

"You're safe, Andre." You repeat and he nods. He steps closer to you as he calmed his breathing. He holds your other hand and pulled until your forehead was touching. "We can't," you whisper to him.

He tried to lean in to kiss you and you shook your head no. "I missed you," "We should give them the room," Luscious says. "I'm not going to do anything unless someone tells me what's going on," you tried to pull away but he continued to holds your hands.

"No more secrets," he tells you before looking to his wife. "How long have you been together?" "Seven months," she choked on a sob. "And I've never been happier," he adds.

He brings your hand up to his lips and gave it a kiss. "So what does this mean?" "It means I'm filing for divorce. I'll serve you the papers by the end of the week." you stared at him with wide eyes.

"Andre, what are you doing?" "Following my heart," "No," you tugged your hand free and rushed out of the conference room. You went back up to your office to clear your head, sitting in your chair.

Andre walks in and before you could say a word, he pressed the button to initiate the tint in the windows. He locked the door and you stood with your arms crossed.

"What's going on with you? You break things off with me but continued to stick your stupid alpha male claim on me. You have an episode, then you tell your wife that you wanted to file for a divorce?"

"I know things have been weird but I'm just trying to make sense of things." "My feelings are more important to me than something you can manipulate to make sense of things,"

"I wasn't trying to manipulate you," he rounds the corner of your desk. He tries to reach for you but you stepped away from him.

"Stop pulling away from me, let me hold you." "No! You gave up that right when you tossed me aside like trash," "I love you," "I don't believe you,"

"I love-" you slapped him across the face before you realized what you were doing. He took the hand you used to slap him and kissed your tingling palm.

"I'm sorry," you said with wide eyes. "I forgive you," "Andre," you trail off when he kissed up your arm until he reached your neck. His hands rested on your hips and your lips parted when his plump lips sucked on your skin.

You let him walk you into the desk and lift you on to it, pulling you to the edge of the desk. "This is what is going to happen. You're going to take the rest of the day off. We're going to swing by your place so you can bring some clothes for the week because you're staying at my place."

"I don't think that's-" "It wasn't a request. I'm going to take you to dinner then I'm going to have you for dessert. You're not leaving until we resolve this,"

Wait ... Empire fans .. how would y'all like if I wrote for those characters

Andre

Hakeem

Perhaps even Lucious or Cookie ???

It would be reader insert ... Hmmmmm

[kiyspicedtea]

What if Nate told Andre that he is a punk ass bitch that needs to be in a asylum because he can’t function?

How would Maddy feel about Andre?

Anon........baby, you do know that Nate himself is barely functioning right? One second of being tackled to the ground by his father, of seeing himself in what he deems a submissive position, and he damn near had an aneurysm. Dre is not entertaining this child lol

In all honesty, Maddy is a wannabe trophy wife who only sees Nate right now because he's the richest and most popular guy in school who is willing to give her everything she wants (and pay for it with his daddy's money). All things considered, I'm sure that the Lyons are wealthier and Andre is probably the most financially responsible of all his siblings. She'd probably thirst and plot her way to being the next wifey, even if I know that Dre is not entertaining this child either.
